Output an exact sized canvas in PS CS5 for magazine advert?

Hi
I began in PS CS5 by setting up a canvas 4 x 7" and begun designing.  It didn't seem right to me so I decided to print a draft of my partially finished project and discovered it is in fact HUGE.  I need to output an advert for a trade magazine which needs to be exactly 4 x 7".  How do I ensure the output size will be exactly as planned?
Thank you

Hi Auctioneer
This should be pretty straightforward, there aren't that many variables.
Assuming you're going to be printing at 300dpi - to keep the math simple! - that would give you an effective screen size of 2100 high x 1200 pixels wide, assuming portrait orientation.
This image would not fit on my screen, but it doesn't matter, when printed, it would be precisely 4"x7".
Ignore the "width" of my image below, I don't have anything that will scale to your exact size, but hopefully the settings shown are pretty self explanatory.
Good luck!
Paul

  • Desk top for CS5 used for magazine /ad design?

    Can anyone recommend a ready-built desk top suitable for using CS5 for magazine / ad design and video editing and cost. Our budget is $1500, with a little flexibility. Thanks!

    I don't think you will get a pre-built VIDEO editing computer for that $$

  • "Shadow" around Canvas in PS CS5 and how to remove it?

    Hi everybody,
    forgive me if this was answered before, I did a search but did not find anything relevant ...
    I upgraded to PS CS5 recently and there seems to be a new "Feature" of a sort of shadow around every page/canvas.
    Maybe the correct term would be "Page Shadow" ... ?
    Imagine a plain white document of, say, 500 by 500 pixels.
    When I resize its (non-tabbed) window to make it bigger than the document itself, I don't get a sharp border between the white document and the grey window-background as it used to be.
    Instead there is this "Page Shadow" around it, which I find very annoying and it wasn't there before in CS4 or any other version I remember.
    I looked everywhere, but I can't find any option to remove this shadow.
    I really want to get rid of it though, any tips on what I may be missing ??
    Thanks
    Duuude
    P.S.: I hope what I wrote makes any sense, English is not my first language ...

    Hi Zeno,

    Just an FYI, the drop shadow around the image was first introduced in CS4 but it needs OpenGL Drawing enabled from Edit->Preferences->Performance to work.

  • Best Preset to in CS5 for AVCHD

    I am experimenting with one of the newer Canon Vixia AVCHD cameras that is capable of shooting 1920 X 1080 video at 24 MB/sec.  I believe that the resultant MTS files are natively captured in 60i format.  I want to make a demo reel for a client for a product shoot using this camera to show the AVCHD quality and clairty. It seems natual that if I select the 1080P preset for this codec in CS5, I would be discarding half of the vertical resoluiton if the native format of the video is 60i as would be case when shooting SD video with a native format of 29.97 frames/sec. which reduces resolution. My guess is that the 60i is a field rate and not a frame rate.
    The preset for either 1080P or 1080i are both set for a pixel ratio of square or 1, as opposed to retangular or .9, as with NTSC DV.  It would appear that with a pixel aspect ratio of square when viewing on a 16:9 widescreen format monitor, this would produce an incorrect picture.
    Could I get some clarication/confirmation regarding the two questions above?  This would be the first time I have used this format of HD video and I want to be certain that what I produce is both true to standard and fully optimized with the native video that I for the demo real.
    I will likely produce this video to be viewed as a mp4 file only rather than incorporatin it into a DVD.
    Thanks indeed in advance for this assistance.

    Ann,
    Thanks for the info regarding BD. 
    This project, like many I have been asked to work on in the past will be primarily be presented in DVD format and for that I will likely use Adobe Link to Encore to automate the process of conversion as you mentioned.  I have also been asked to make available a limited number of playable HD files of the project output which could be played on media hubs for home entertainment systems that are becoming so popular today.  These files are basically kept on an NAS (Network Addressable Storage) which stores the video content and generally contains a streaming hub to distribute video to HD sets within the house or residence for viewing HD content. 
    In experimenting with the Blue Ray output preset in CS5 in an effort to use this format for those users who wish to stream this content, the H264 codec produces an output file with an M4V file extension which neither Power DVD would play/recognize.  The streaming hub I use to test these outputs before distributing them to clients would not play it either.  This is the first time that I have attempted to use the Blue Ray H264 file output as a standalone playable file without burning a BR disk.  I was wondering if you are aware of a means of generating an MP4 compatible file output that can be played avoiding the M4V file extension.  Can you offer any guidance to me for this objective?
    Aside from attempting to generate a stand-alone playable BR file above, I noticed that when using any of the HDTV presets, there seem to be a noticeable quality improvement when I changed the video frame rate from 29.97 to 30 fps in the video properties in the export media output settings.  I noticed this on my PC monitor only and there was a distinct improvement but this may not apply with the actual file output.  Can you shed any light on why this would be so noticeable and if maybe I should use 30 fps for the output file setting as opposed to 29.97? 
    Again, much thanks for your support and time to offer any additional input.

  • I have CS5 for my laptop and want to use it on my Mac too. Do I need to buy a separate license?

    I purchased CS5 for my laptop and now want to use it on my Mac book too. Do I need to buy a separate license?

    Serial numbers are platform specific. You cannot use a PC license on Mac and vice versa. You would need to run a platform swap to use it on a Mac and upgrade to CS6, but then would lose the PC license. Therefore you eitehr need to buy a separate license for the Mac or join Creative Cloud.

  • Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing?

    Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing? I recently had a crash of CS5 Bridge. It seems to have caused a problem with Aperture. So, I reinstalled both CS5 and Aperture. Before installing CS5 I uploaded NEF (Nikon RAW) files to Aperture. Now I have reinstalled CS5 I want to use it to edit the same photos from Aperture, as I know more about editing in CS5 than Aperture. I tried to export to CS5 but, Aperture would not give me  that option. At least I could not find it.

    You can set an external editor in the "Aperture Preferences -> Export " settings.
    Just set this to CS5.
    The resullt of your external edit will create a new version of your image.

  • Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera.  Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

    The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
    You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

    How to download Adobe Premiere pro CS5 for windows to my new imac 27 inch

    IMHO Windows would be the place to start.
    Why do you want to load CS5 for Windows?
    Adobe does produce a version of CS5 that runs on OS X so that it would not be necessary for you to have to screw around with Windows. Personally that would be the way to go and avoid the hassles of Windows.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac-OS, can this be used on a PC?  I'm wanting to load onto a PC/laptop.

    I have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac OS, which I use on my desktop.  I've recently purchased an HP laptop, is there a way to use my licensed CS5 version of Photoshop on my new HP PC?

    No, the CS5 software is operating system-specific and even if you were willing to trade for the Windows version you could not at this point due to that only being possible for the latest. release, CS6.

    I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still,  I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

    The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
    If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.

  • Cannot create/open files in CS5 for Mac, no windows pop up

    Hi there, I am extremely frustrated and in need of some help. I have CS5 for my Mac (running on OSX 10.7.5) and I cannot get any windows to open. If I open the program, go to File > New and try to create something when I hit OK there is no new blank window popping up. Over on the right hand side there is a layer for background but no window. If I try to drag a file into Photoshop, it will show the layers on the dashboard along the side but the file doesn't actually pop up. Has anyone else had this issue? Could someone please help me out?
    Thanks!

Tutorials are included for each of the products on the respective sections of the website. For instance, this site Website builder | Download free Adobe Dreamweaver CC trial gives you access to the trial version as well as tutorials.
    I suggest that you go to http://creative.adobe.com and explore the various options available.

    Contact Adobe sales or Adobe Customer Service.
    You would have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac as a "cross-grade" or platform swap.
    They will not allow you to simply swap for CS5 Mac, because CS5 is no longer sold or supported.
    You can either upgrade to CS6 Mac by way of platform swap for some $200, or you can join the Cash Cow subscription mode.
