Noob question on spanning pix for larger prints

Howdy!
I've got a lot of RAW photo's, 18 MP and higher, that I'd like to print LARGER than what my printer supports.
I've got a Pro9000 MKII printer, but can't, for the life of me, figure out how to take an existing picture, "break it up into four or more sections", then print those individual sections in order to re-assemble them into a LARGER photo.
I don't need gargantuan pics. Heck, if I could take a single photo and print it to cover four 13x19 pieces of paper, I'd be chuffed.
Thanks!

There is probably an app or plugin that might do this, but the option is not there in the Print dialogue that I can find.  You can, however, create 4 Duplicate Versions, and carefully crop each of them to be a 13 x 19 aspect guadrant of the complete image, and print them borderless.  If this printer has an expansion feature for edge-to-edge printing, you would need to take that to zero expansion.

  • Hi all! What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    Buying more hard drive space is a very valid option, here.  Editing takes up lots of room, you should never discount the idea of adding more when you need it.
    Another possibility is exporting to MXF OP1a using the AVC-I codec.  It's not lossless, but it is Master quality.  Plus the file size is a LOT smaller, so it may suit your needs.

  • Resolution/other  questions in creating books for large books

    thinking of getting my first book hard and large 100 pages.
    does that mean i have the capacity for atleast 200 photos ( cover back of a page )?
    i use 300dpi very high file size images ( 28-60mb) that are not stored on iphoto. I used to make 250-500k jpgs for iphotos so that it would work fast smooth and easy.
    If i load my image files into iphoto with the desire to create the largest book, what is the recommended resolution and file size to make the images look their best in the book. I dont understand this whole process because when my images are printed and published in books or magz the requirement is atleast 17.2 MB or higher.
    what is the usual file size and resolution that people use in their images to toss into these templates?
    thanks

    If you select double sided printing you can have 200 full page photos in the book. More if you use other layouts.
    You want to use the largest pixel sized file you have. For a one photo per page layout, full page, you'd want a pixel dimension of 2250 x 3300. That would be equivalent to an 8.5 x 11 inch at 300 dpi. 300 is what the books are printed at.
    The frames (picture window) used in the books are sized at a 4:3 ratio. To get your photo to perfectly fill the frame without any cropping, crop your images to 4:3 before putting the in book.
    If your photos are a different ratio, they can be used, but some will be cropped from the top and bottom when placed in a frame. You can opt to have the entire image show in the frame but there will be some white space in there also.
    My first large book was produced with a camera that gave me images at 1600 x 1200 pixels. Since I didn't have any one photo per page layouts I didn't get any low resolution warning.
    The following is a reply I got from Apple regarding book materials and printing quality:
    "Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
    I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
    iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
    While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.

    Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
    BOOKS
    All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
    Hardcovers Books
    The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
    Softcover Books
    The softcover books come in three sizes:
    - Large 8.5 x 11 inches
    - Medium 6 x 8 inches
    - Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
    All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
    CARDS
    All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
    CALENDARS
    All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
    To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
    KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
    I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."
    As for file size, iPhoto creates a pdf file of the book for uploading and printing. You can preview the file by creating the pdf file yourself. Just Contol-click on a page but not a photo in the book mode and select the Save Book as PDF option.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Image resize in CS5 vs cell size in LR3 for large print quality

    What is the benefit of image resizing(larger) with resampling in photoshop than creating a larger cell size and increasing the DPI in LR3 if the file is to be printed just out of LR3.  Is there a significant improvement in image quality if this is done in CS5, if so then what about the need for fractal program.  I am taking my images with a D3x and making prints up to 20x30 on Epson 7900?

    Interoperation from LR is far superior to the basic in PS CS 4, whilst this may have improved in CS 5 I haven't tried it and wouldn't expect it to be any better than LR 3. The print module in LR can also make it all a lot easier to do than using PS. Some may still prefer Genuine Fractals (I have a copy), however I have felt no need for it since LR 2. Any resizing I require is done using LR

  • Effective Cropping in Aperture for large size prints

    hi all,
    any advice (in simple terms as I am new to digital slr photography - just assume I know very little) on the most effective way to crop photographs for large size prints. I just bought a Nikon D80 dslr - I have a photo of my daughter I really like and would to crop and then enlarge for a nice framed photograph. The original print is 3872 x 2592 and in cropped form it is 915 x 807 which appears quite small to me. Is there any chance of a decent large print. I used the aperture cropping tool - is there another way which preserves more resolution (not sure am using right word here) - or put differently what is the best way of getting a good cropped photo from this print. Apologies if that was a bit all over the place.

    mdockrell wrote:
    my main question are there methods of cropping pictures that enable one to keep as much detail as possible
    Usually, when you crop you simply discard those pixels outside of the area you wish to keep so nothing is lost. It looks worse as you enlarge it on the screen but the retained area should be exactly the same as it was before cropping - just smaller. There are ways to uprez a photo that make it look better when enlarged - but detail cannot be invented! In photoshop you can try to increase the resolution in 10% steps until the image is a size suitable for a larger print. I've seen this used to good advantage but sometimes it simply looks horrible. Give it a try, you can't lose anything.

  • My image is too large for the print service. Best options...

    I shoot with a Nikon D800. It appears the images are too large for the print service. What's the best method to reduce file size? Open in Photoshop, edit size, and return to Aperture?

    You would have to look in your TV settings, that is likely the issue.

  • Export for online printing service question...

    Hi all...I am new to all this exporting business so please bear with me. In the past if i wanted prints made i just burnt them to a disk and took the disk to a local photo lab to have printed. So the question is when using an online printing service such as Mpix, would i just export versions as original sized jpegs and send them to the printing service and that's it or do i also have to mess with the dpi setting? I noticed the default dpi setting is 72 for all the export presets. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...Dave

    hello, dave
    quote: "when using an online printing service such as Mpix, would i just export versions as original sized jpegs and send them to the printing service and that's it or do i also have to mess with the dpi setting?"
    when someone else is doing your printing always ask them how they want your Versions delivered first prior to burning the DVD, for example, 16bit TIFF, 8bit TIFF, colorsync (color mangement), dpi...there is an excellent tutorial/information on this in Aperture's help menu "Photography Fundamentals"
    what i do is edit the photograph by softproofing to the printer used. in Aperture select the Proofing Profile & then Onscreen Proofing

  • How to change a file where large prints cannot be made?

    I want to send some images to a small local newspaper to be used for a story for free but do not want them to have access of full size image (some large prints were made in a past incident).
    I have CS4. What is best way to do this? Images in the newspaper will not be that larger then 5x7. I keep trying to change image size, pixels etc and save new image, but when I pull new image up in photoshop and change to 10x6 the pixels increase and the printed image comes out fine. Will it be different for someone receiving my email/image or will they be able to print a quality image?
    EX: Starting with
    Pixel Dimension 17.2M
    width-3008
    height-2000
    Document size
    width-10.
    height-6.6
    Resolution-300
    All boxes are checked in my image size box.
    I reset pixels  to 1050x698. I also changed dpi to 150 and image size to 7x4.6, Quality 7 and then saved as another name. The image size is now only 280K.
    I then emailed the image to myelf and pulled it up  in PS and changed the image from 7x4.6 to 10x6.6 to see what would happen if someone changed the image size and hoping it would print a poor quality at the larger size image. But when I changed the size to 10x6.6 the pixels revert to 1500x997 and the image was better quality then i was hoping for. I did not see much difference from a printed image with 300 dpi and higher pixels.
    Will the print quality not be as good for whoever I email the image to? That is my objective of course. What am I doing wrong? It appears that the settings can be changed but I am hoping that is because it is on my Mac. I am missing a step somewhere. Even a 14x9 looks fine on my monitor, since the pixels change as I reset sizes.

    christoph   As mentioned some of my images got printed in a previous incident (unrelated to this paper). It happens. I'm just trying to prevent it from happening again, especially since I took photos of this person (he passed away last week) for over 35 years. I am letting the local newspaper use them for free with the understanding that they will not get out into the public. The publisher never replied back regarding this but he did reply back to the e-mail where I told him that, so he is on record as receiving my request. People are contacting me wanting to use the image for t-shirts and other things. I have a web site for ordering prints or products and there could be a larger story later, so that is my concern. This was my first post on the Adobe forums. I appreciate you getting back to me. I tried another forum and got quite  a few replies. I got various answers about the DPI and pixels. Most of my work was from a D70 or D300 but also had some images scanned from negatives, so pixels varied. I tried to keep it near 1050 on long side and let CS4 determine the other size. Got a few folks that said to go with 150 dpi for newspaper so I ended up with that on most images. I saved most images at 7 but went to 9 on some. I worry because most images are only around 400k. That sounds very small, but I printed a couple with my AIO printer with regular copy paper and they looked too good. That is why I was worried that if someone got a hold of them they could change the pixels or dpi and make quality prints. I am a rookie at how this type of  image manipulation works.
    The publisher does crop like a madman but my subject was known for wearing crazy outfits while riding his bike and rowing down the waterways in a red/white polka dot boat wearing a tiny thong, while entertaining fellow boaters etc.. so I don't think he will be cropping or he will lose the essence of my subject. I emailed him to call me first thing in the morning if there are problems since I will be working on other pix until 5am or so and him shooting me  an e-mail would not work. Thanks again for the suggestion. if he says it will not work I will get back on what i had to do.

  • Export Settings for CD/print

    I have been searching for the answer for a while now and finally just gave up and thought I would ask.
    I want to export images to be given to my clients for them to print wherever they choose. What should the export settings be to allow them to print with good quality up to an 8x10? Anything larger I want the quality to be bad so that way if they want a larger print they will need to purchase it from me.
    I am not concerned about image cropping just quality.
    Thanks
    And if you know of a good file compression program so i can email the images, that would help also. I am trying Stuffit but have yet to decide if I want to buy it or not.

    thanks for the response. I ordered the book by hitting the Buy Book button. After receiving the book and not being happy with some of the colour rendition I starting browsing around Aperture. At first I thought that perhaps my on-screen proofing profile wasn't compatible with how Apple does the printing, then I started looking at the export settings. I guess its my lack of understanding on how the book gets assembled/exported that led to my question.
    I still have a lot to learn about Aperture.

  • Best storage set-ups for large Libraries?

    Let's say "large Library" means 500 GB and/or 500,000 Images, and above.
    What set-ups for storage, on a Mac maximized with RAM, will provide the best Aperture performance?  The best bang-for-the-buck?  Assume Thunderbolt is available.  I don't know much about hardware: RAID, hybrid drives, etc.
    What sensible considerations should one make for backup and data-redundancy?
    How can I determine if the storage media is a bottleneck in the performance of Aperture on my system?
    I run most libraries off of external USB-3 drives mounted (sometimes directly, often via powered USB-3 hubs) to my
    MacBook Pro
    Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013
    Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    System Drive  APPLE SSD SD512E
    This works well for small and medium-size Libraries, but for large Libraries, I'm spending costly time waiting for the system to catch up.
    Some of that, demonstrably, comes when I run a three-monitor set-up.  (But this provides some welcome advantages to me.)
    Additionally, some back-ups and database repairs now take 12 hr. or longer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks William,
    I kept my c. 2011 MPB and use it for making back-ups, which is done automatically after I leave for the day.  My early-2013 MPB is so much faster (and has such a higher-resolution screen) that I don't use the older computer at all.
    William Lloyd wrote:
    Probably the fastest storage you can get is the La Cie "little big disk" which is a pair of 512 GB SSDs with a Thunderbolt 2 connection. The issue is, only the newest Mac Pro, and the newest retina MacBook Pros, have Thunderbolt 2 right now.
    OWC tech explained to me that TBolt2 allows 2x the throughput, but that the drives have to be able to provide it.  TBolt1 should provide 1,000 MB/s (do I have the units correct?), which is faster than most drives can provide.  So the bottleneck, for me, isn't likely to be the port, but rather the drives.  USB-3 can move 500 MB/s, which is still faster than -- afaict -- what my WD Passport drives can provide.
    As I currently see it, I need faster throughput, and I need to either trim my large Libraries or find a way to manage them so that the regularly used files are more speedily available.
    Regarding faster throughput, an external SSD comes to mind.
    The problem, for me, is that the large Libraries are close to 1TB (with Previews).  While I don't expect them to grow (the data acquisition phase is, for now, done), it would be short-sighted to assume they won't.  That brings up the second consideration, which is how to best use spanned drives that contain an Aperture Library.
    As I see it (with my limited understanding of hardware), what I really want is _a lot more RAM_, or, barring that, a huge SSD scratch disk.  I have 200 GB free on my system drive, which is an Apple-supplied SSD, but it doesn't seen to be used as effectively as I'd like.
    WD is now selling a new portable TBolt SSD, the "My Passport Pro", available with 4 GB of storage, and with a throughput of 230 MB/s.  My current largest Library is on WB Passport drives, whose throughput is not faster than 480 Mb/s (Max) (I assume BITS, not BYTES, so 40 MB/s).  That's a huge difference, while still only 1/4 of the speed possible with TBolt1, and 1/8 the throughput possible with TBolt2 (which my early-2013 MBP does not have, afaict).
    These are the questions I am trying to answer:
    - How can I measure my current throughput?
    - Can I determine the bottleneck in my use of large Libraries in Aperture?
    - Will new storage give me faster performance?
    - Which storage will give me the best "bang-for-my-bucks"?  (The La Cie "little big disk" seems to have it's bang limited by my computer, which greatly lowers its quotient value.)
    In short: how can I get 900-1000 MB/s throughput on my machine, and is there any way to set up my Library so that, even though it is close to 1 TB, I can use a smaller very fast drive for the most read/written files?

  • Another Noobie question - readLine()

    Hi all
    This is another one of the extreme noob questions. I wrote a small program to read form a text file

                System.err.println("Error in reading the file");
        }catch (FileNotFoundException e){

            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(inputFile);

  • How I can work points to an image in Illustrator for Screen Printing?

    Hello, (I use Macromedia Freehand MX), I just recently download the trial illustrator, and my question is to know how to open points in Illustrator images for screen printing in freehand using the Halftone in Illustrator I've tried but is not the same as the finish is different and of very poor quality here is a sample as freehand and illustrator as stated in:
    Look at the difference of points:
    As you can see in Illustrator can only do that from the menu: Effects / Pixelate / Color Halftone... and you can not make the points more guys, not sharp as seen in the picture above and therefore the image does not get to see very well, while in freehand if you can manipulate the points from large fine to a point, points also can be made round, linear or ellipse and therefore may work better for screenprints and other designs that open nesecitan points at home.
    What I'm interested to know if there is another way to work so that the image is sharp with the open items as well as in freehand.
    No more I say goodbye to waiting for an answer, thanks

    I still do not achieve the required result in Freehand give me the points, as you may see in the picture above, I need is to manipulate fine points as well as this:
    illustrator and only managed this:
    illustrator and only managed this:
    As you can see the difference is very remarkable, the two images are worked in the same size.
    I switch to illustrator but if I can achieve that result does not help me much, since I work in screen printing and printing and need to play with points, after that I love the program has many more things freehand.
    PS: the freehand halftone used to make color separation images to full color with spots open in Illustrator is not like that.

  • Apple keyboard with large print?

    I use an iMac at work and home. I am visually impaired and find it hard to see the letters on the keyboard. Is there an official Apple keyboard with large print letters? I don't want to buy a 3rd party keyboard that doesn't have all the functions. Would be happiest if Apple could provide me with such a keyboard to replace the standard one??
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    To get a keyboard with large letters you're going to have to go with a third-party keyboard. What functionality do you think you'd have to give up? There are quite a few third-party keyboards made specifically for the Mac although any USB keyboard will work. And Mac USB keyboards work on a PC as well. I use an Apple Pro keyboard on my work PC & then only thing missing is a "Print Screen" button.
