Page Layout in Photoshop CS 4

I know that ideally I should be using InDesign or maybe Illustrator (not sure which) and it is my intention to purchase as soon as funds allow. Meanwhile, I need to layout a page in photoshop.
Basically, I set up a new canvas which is 116 mm X 91 mm. This is to allow me a set document which is 110 mm wide with a 3 mm bleed X 85 mm with a 3 mm bleed.
I use the guides to help, and zoom right up close to ensure accuracy of the guide positioning.
However, when I eventually print out to an Epson R2400, the dimensions are never the same as those originally set. The pics in the document are NOT filling the whole area (including bleed) I always seem to be falling short. Any help please? Or am I asking too much of PS?
Thanks in advance
Mark

Thanks Mike!
No don't take the first option for Chrise sake! It's not that important!!
Interesting point about the Epson. I also have a Canon Pixma, I will try and see if that makes a difference.
Cheers

Designing entire ad layouts in Photoshop vs. Indesign?

Why would you take a layout from Illustrator or Photoshop to InDesign when you can do the entire layout in either of those programs, with crop guides and save the files as a PDF for printing? Is there any reason to not do an entire layout in Photoshop?
Thanks.

I agree one page layouts are easy to do in Photoshop using templates and scripts.
Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED April 30, 2013 Added border option to PasteImageRoll.
Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts. There are sample template and many additional ones can be downloaded.
There are eleven scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

Create multi-page PDF with photoshop CS3

Hi,
I have created 8 A4-sized PSD documents in Photoshop CS3 and I would like to create a single PDF document with 8 pages.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I would really appreciate any help that people can offer, as I am stumped!
Thank you in advance,

FILE> Automate PDF presentation
add open files or point it to your folder of files
after you hit save will be a dialog box to choose options
make sure to make the proper selections for quality, based on your purpose
a PDF made for commercial printing will be large
If you want to put it on internet or email you need to select the setttings
for web based doc
OR you could open acrobat and create a multipage document
I think the default is 8.5x11
(not sure) but if you have unusual size paper
make sure to change the page layout to that

Fireworks or Indesign for web page layout?

Hi, I've currently ordered CS3 Web Premium and it won't ship
until tomarrow, and I don't know whether I should cancel it and get
the Design Premium instead.
It all depends on whether Fireworks is a must have for web
page design. Does it offer anything invaluable that I need that
Photoshop Cs3 won't already fill? I saw the tour for InDesign and
was impressed how you can create amazing page layouts and how you
can export them to XHTML.
I probably won't be using Adobe Contribute as I prefer making
my own WYSIWYG editor in asp.net for my webpages, because I don't
want to buy a new license of Contribute for every web page I make
for a different client, so the choice of whether I should leave Web
Premium and get Design Premium rest on whether Fireworks is more
useful for webpage design and whether creating web page layouts
with InDesign is worth paying the extra money for (I don't mind
using it to create computer software manuals as well).
I appreciate any input on this matter. :)

Excellent clarifications, DWD.

Custom page layouts for iPhoto books- bleeds and type

I've been digging through the forum for info on creating custom page layouts. I have the basics: print PDF (to capture the page BG and graphics elements), manipulate in PhotoShop and place the custom page as a full page photo.
How does iPhoto deal with bleeds? Since I'm trying to recreate the style of the other pages I'd like it to match.
Is all type in an iPhoto book rasterized? The printed PDF retains type. Will rasterized type in PS layouts match "native" text in iPhoto?
I haven't purchased a book yet and I'm wondering if the book is sent to Apple as a PDF with vector data. If that's the case can custom pages be inserted into the PDF with vector type intact?
Thanks all!
rg

gatz:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know much about bleeds but you can manipulate it in the iPhoto preference file with Pref Setter.
Regarding the rasterized type, you'll have to give it a try and then create a pdf of the book to check it out. In iPHoto 5 we used to be able to get a copy of the pdf file that was uploaded to Apple but in V6 that's not possible. I think the pdf file may be the same as we get when creating it via Print to PDF. Here's the info I received from Apple about book quality and materials:
I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
"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.
For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:
iPhoto: Color, Black and White Prints Appear Garbled or Distorted
For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165501
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."
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.

Good Page Layout Application

I'm in the finale stages of my switch from PeeCee to Mac, and so far everthing is great! One applicatiion I need is a page layout program like MS Publisher, simple to use, not to fancy but lots of features & templates. Does anyone have a favoorite they could reccomend?
Thanks in advance
Michael

Hi, Michael,
For a fairly basic but quite intuitive publishing package take a look at 'AppleWorks'.
'Word for the Mac' is an easy solution if you are used to working with PCs and makes sharing documents across different platforms a doddle.
Professional (and quite sophisticated/expensive) Apps are 'QuarkXpress' and Adobe 'InDesign' and the Adobe 'Creative Suite' (CS) which includes 'Photoshop' & 'Illustrator'
Bear in mind when choosing a publishing/layout package where you will be sending your final layouts. What do they use or what can they use.
Hope this helps a little.

How to remove blank pages from WebI Report in view page layout option

Hi,
I am working in Business Objects XIR2 environment. I have a WebI report with several sections. I need to show the report as a book with 69 sections (each section on new page). there are 69 sections on cost center and each cost center section has almost 10 sections embedded in it. When i see in regular view - I only see 69 pages but when I try to see in "View Page Lay out" option, there is one blank page added after each results page.
Please let me know how to remove this blank page. I need to give users the option to download the book as PDF on to their machine. Now, when I download to my machine, I see one blank page after each results page.
Thanks in advance.

Jus convert your report in Page Layout mode and see if your first pafe is getting expand in the second page.
Now check if there are any cell going into second page.
- if there are any blank cell which is there after table.
you have to check formating very carefull.

I have the same by clicking on "check assignments"
Any help ?
Thanks

Hello Jego.
We faced the same issue after upgrade to EHP1 SP07 last week and managed to solve it by modification of layout.jsp and com.sap.nw.wpc.layoutmanager.LayoutBean within com.sap.nw.wpc.designtime.par. SAP's code requires an additional catch handler, so it is better to rise an OSS message.
As a workaround you may change a default layout for wpc main page (good for new pages) or manually edit output.xml for existing pages.

Custom page layouts are not getting displayed in ribbon

Hi,
I have created a custom page layout under welcome category. This is getting displayed in pages library while creating a page and also in page layout option from site settings which is fine. But when a page is in edit mode if we click page->page layouts
from ribbon, all the default page layouts are getting displayed except my custom page layout.
Please advise.
Regards,
Chaitanya.

you have a subsite in a site collection •the publishing feature is activated in the subsite, but not in the site collection •you want to edit/add page layouts on the site collection level, to be used within your subsite •when you open the site collection
in SharePoint Designer, you can't see Page Layouts in the Site Objects panel You now have 2 options: you can either activate the publishing feature in the site collection (and the Page Layouts link comes back), or you can use the All Files link and browse
to the master pages and page layouts library (_catalogs > masterpage.) Either option will do, unless you really don't want the publishing feature in the site collection.
To fix the issue go to Site Actions -> Site Settings in the upper left corner.
Under "Site Collection Administration" click on "Site Collection Features".
Look for "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" and activate it. It might take a moment to load.
Next return to "Site Settings" and click on "Manage Site Features"
Look for "SharePoint Server Publishing" and activate it. It might take a moment to load.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

I really want more options for page layouts.

I am enjoying iphoto11, but sometimes wish for more page layout options. Is it possible to flip an entire page layout - like the option to flip a photo? I am currently working with a Photo Essay theme and in most of the layouts the text box is on the same side of the page. When I preview the book I see that I have many parallel layouts which looks a little stiff. Any ideas?

1 - there is no option to add layouts or modify existing layouts - suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
2 - I understand that Aperture offers this capability
3 - you can do pages in any program you want and do a print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option and then use that image as a full page photo in a book - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 for more info

OOTB Left Navigation error in Page Layout SharePoint 2013

I created a SharePoint 2013 master page through Design Manager in Sharepoint 2013 and created a page layout like we do trough sharepoint designer as in sharepoint 2010 steps are below
SharePoint Designer--->Page Layouts---->New Page Layout
now i want to insert left navigation in the page layout ,i tried to insert the following snippet in the page layout
<div data-name="QuickLaunch">



<div id="sideNavBox" class="ms-dialogHidden ms-forceWrap ms-noList">





































<hr />





</div>

</div>
but i get the following error when i create page through this page layout
"Content Place holders are only allowed in master page"
Can anyone tell me how do i insert left navigation in page layout which is created through sharepoint designer (.aspx file) but master page is created through design manager

Hi ,
As the error says, you need to add Content Place holders to Mater Page not the Page Layout.
For inserting left navigation, you can add Vertical Navigation SharePoint component to the master page using Snippets manager:
1.
Open the site then click design manager link from right top corner "Settings".
2.
Click “Edit Master Pages” link.
3.Click your custom mater page. It will open preview page.
4.
Once open the preview page then click Snippets menu from top right side. It will open “Snippet Gallery” in new tab page.
5.
Click the Vertical Navigation menu item in “DESIGN “tab.
6.
In this page we can easy to configure component properties.
After customization must click the update button then only the changes are reflected in the component snippet.
7.
Once click the update button the HTML code automatically generated in the “HTML snippet” box and click “Copy to Clipboard” button.
8.
Open the mapped network drive then open the Mater Page HTML file and paste HTML snippet where you want the navigation to show.

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.

Dynamic Page Layout - Opportunity Product Revenue

Hi gurus,
I am trying to setup a dynamic template for "Opportunity Product Revenues"
I set it up successfully in the object. However, this data is exposed only as a related list of Opportunity and not directly. Now, when I go into the "Opportunity" customization, it only allows me to set up static page layouts, with no option to setup the Dynamic page layouts through the Related list.
Please help..

Hi Jonathan,
Many thanks for your response.
Our CTE is already on R19. We want to experiment and be ready when our PROD is upgraded to R19.
Can you help me with the requirement, if you have an idea please? I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks

In Pages '09, how do I remove the header from the first page of the document in a page layout document?

Working Pages '09, I am trying to set up a multi-page document using page layout (not a word processing document, because I'll be using lots of graphics and text boxes), with headers and footers, but no header on the first page, as this will be the title page. The layout>section pane has the 'First page is different' option greyed out (because it's a word processor only option). Help tells me that each page is it's own section in page layout, but there is no way to have one page without a header and all the others with, as far as I can tell. Am I completely missing something or is there a way around this?
Also, I want to do this again for additional chapters in the document (or else, I believe, be forced to manually start page numbering for each chapter in a new document).
Cheers.

Hi, Barry. I don't know why this solution didn't work for me :-\ Does it matter that my page numbers are in the footer and not the header? When I follow your direction, the pages do get numbered differently. My problem occurs with the last step.
1. Open the Inspector. (Check!)
2. Click the Layout button (second from left). (Check!)
3. Click Section. (Check!)
4. Make the two settings shown: (Check!)
5. Go to Page 1 and delete the contents of the Header. (When I do this, the content for all footers is deleted...)
I really appreciate your insight.
