Photoshop CS6 printing size issue

I'm having a strange issue. Just upgraded to CS 6 and was able to print with no issues for a few weeks.
Yesterday I tried to print a file I had printed the day prior with no issus, to find that the document size appearing in the print dialogue box was VERY large. My document size is 11x17 with a resolution of 300, and the print box shows it as a tiny image in the middle of a page 77.264 in x 49.986 in.
If I try to print this scale, nothing shows up on my printer. If I fit to scale and try to print the document size, it's printing huge (400% larger)
My print settings are correct, thought maybe it was a driver issue but I'm having the same issue on another printer I use, so it seems to be coming from Photoshop. I trashed my preferences on startup, but the issue remains. I can't figure out what's going on. Here's a screen shot
Additional info: Other documents having the same issue in Photoshop CS6 when trying to print.
Document prints fine in CS5 and Illustrator CS6.

  • Set "Scale To Fit Media" as default in Photoshop CS6 print settings on OSX

    Quite frequently my boss will email 10 to 30 images to me to print from his camera. Is there a way to setup Photoshop CS6 print settings so that "Scale To Fit Media" is the default. I tried to create an action and then through Bridge select a folder and Batch send the files to Open-Print-Close. Since images are never received 8.5"x11" it would be convenient to have this as a default. Since the print settings revert, or aren't defaulting to "settings last used", my batch attempt was unsuccessful. I know I could edit my action to adjust image size to page dimensions, but thought a way to edit the Print settings default must be out there somewhere. (Using MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4) Any Suggestions?

    Unfortunately "Scale to Fit Media" isn't a toggle. But let's try a workaround.
    You can create an Image Size action where you will scale the picture to either 8.5 inches wide or 11 inches high, whichever works best for you. First be sure "resampling" is turned off under Image > Image Size.
    You would open an iimage, then create an new action, title it "Letter 11 inches" and that's when the recording starts.
    Enter 11 inches as the Height, click OK and then stop recording.
    This is a quick and dirty action and assumes all pictures are portrait and not landscape. It may just work for you.
    You should be able to include it in your batch processing.

  • PHOTOSHOP CS6 BRUSH SIZE

    PHOTOSHOP CS6 GRANDEZZA PENNELLO
    carissimi chi è che mi risolve il mio problema?
    di solito il mio metodo veloce per diminuire o ingrandire il diametro del pennello ( ad esempio se sto agendo su una maschera di livello) è ctrl+alt e muovo il mouse a destra/sinistra . in altri casi invece agisco direttamente sulla scheda pennello.
    come vedrete dalla foto il range è esponenziale della scala dei pennelli in photoshop CS6 e quindi è ingestibile . lavorando con foto grandi a me interessa soprattutto la parte finale e quindi vorrei che la scala da 0 a 5000 px crescesse in modo omogeneo ( ad esempio dove adesso c'è il 84 px ci fosse 2500 px ) .
    avete qualche soluzione?
    GRAZIEEEEEE

    PHOTOSHOP CS6 BRUSH SIZE
    who is dear to me solve my problem?
    usually my quick way to reduce or enlarge the diameter of the brush (for example, if I am acting on a layer mask) is ctrl + alt and move the mouse to the left / right. in other cases, act directly on the board brush.
    as you will see from the photo is the range of the exponential scale of the brushes in photoshop CS6 and so it is unmanageable. working with large photos interests me especially the last part, and then I would like the scale from 0 to 5000 px grow evenly (for example there is now a 84 px there were 2500 px).
    you have any solution?

  • Photoshop CS6: Printing Problem

    From time-to-time, I seem to have had a temporary printing issue with Photoshop Elements 8, whereby the photo I was trying to print would not be printed completely, but part of it would be cut off, as if the printer's print-head would not be receiving the data from Photoshop past a certain point in one particular plane.
    Up to this morning, I had never encountered any printing issue with Photoshop CS6, which I have had, and printed with, for the past 6 months or so. This morning, however, I encountered the same issue, for the first time, using Photoshop CS6. It is now printing properly again, but why do I occasionally encounter this with either software?
    When I normally print, I like to print photos to exact sizes, but which vary greatly, and so I prefer the technique of creating a new blank A4-sized document and dragging my photo into this document and, by using Free Transform, size the photo to my exact requirements, before printing onto good quality A4 glossy or sometimes matte paper.
    What happened this morning was that, using the technique above, I was trying to print a very small passport-sized photo over to the right-hand side of a sheet of A4 paper, with the blank document in the portrait orientation. My photo was only partially printed, and cut off past a certain point in the horizontal plane. By dragging my photo further towards the centre of the blank A4-sized document and reprinting onto the same sheet of A4 worked fine. After experimenting a little by printing the photo in various places on the same sheet of A4, I discovered that the photo was not printing past a certain point, in the horizontal plane, towards the right-hand side of the sheet of A4. This cut off point was consistent in every printing attempt. There was a certain point to the right-hand side of the sheet of A4, where, in the horizontal plane, it would simply not print past. By measuring this cut off point in the horizontal plane, it is 4.8cm from the right-hand edge of the sheet of A4, in its portrait orientation.
    After resetting all tools, turning the PC and printer off and then on again, launching Photoshop CS6 and retrying, it seems to be printing correctly again, and I am able to print my photo anywhere on the sheet of A4, without anything being cut off past a certain point.
    Has anybody had the same issue with Photoshop CS6 (or Elements 8)?
    Does anybody have any ideas as to the possible causes(s)?

    Yes, you're right, that would help wouldn't it !
    The printer is old, having been discontinued (here in the UK, at least) years ago. I still have a large quantity of the printer inks for this model, which is one of the reasons for me not getting something newer. No doubt, the printer inks where you are, are ridiculously expensive too! As I am very happy with this printer's print quality, as long as you always use the highest quality settings for the type of paper you are using, it doesn't make sense, to me, to ditch it just because it is an old model.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 100% Zoom Issue

    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Version 13.0.6 x64
    OS X Yosemite Version 10.10
    100% Zoom is very tiny on my screen. How do I fix?

    An Images dpi setting has nothing to do with it.  Its all about the number of pixels you have.    Image for the web have fewer pixels.  It does not matter it you set the image DPI resolution is 72, 300 or any other value when you don't resample the number of pixels remain the same.  When you display actual pixels 100% zoom an image with 10K pixels with a 300dpi is the same 10K pixel image with a 72dpi resolution setting.  Printers will use the images dpi setting to adjust pixel size.  Displays do not they are run at their native DPI resolution whatever that is.  So a 10K pixel image with a 72DPI setting and a 10K pixels image with a 300DPI setting will be displayed as a 10K pixel image at the displays dpi resolution.
    DPI defines Pixel size pixel density  300DPI means 90000 square pixels per inch  so the pixel size would be 1/300" x 1/300".  72DPI means 5184 pixels per square inch so pixel size is 1/72" x 1/72"
    So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 72DPI and print it will print 100" x 100" do know of a printer the cal handle 100" paper
    So if you have an image with 7200px x 7200px and set the dpi tp 300DPI and print it will print 24" x 24" you need a large form printer that can handle 24" wide paper
    This image can not be displayed on a display zoomed to 100% only part of the image will fit you will need to scroll about the image. Unless you have a 34" display with a square aspect ratio with a 300DPI native resolution that I don't know about.

  • Photoshop CS6 & Doc Size & File Size???

    Working on a collage and have a relatively scall document, 6"x10" at 300dpi and used the Place command to add images and arrange and have 14 layers. The images were resized to fit using the Transform scale too. Was watching the document size at the lower left of the document window and it showed that the Doc was 34.3 M/178 M. Looked good so I went to save the beast as a PSD. At 75% of the save it threw an error message saying the document was greater than 2GB in size. Hmm, why did the doc size show otherwise. So ended up saving as a PSB whic worked. But the responsiveness of my system went to hell until I shut down Photoshop. I mean it was almost unresponsive. Starting Photoshop again, opening the PSB and making a few changes and my system was flying again. So maybe processing the PSD then throwing the error managed to grab all the resources. 
    So maybe there are two issues I have seen, one is Photoshop reporting the wrong doc size and the other bad error processing?

    Here are a couple of screen shots that show the doc size problem

    I appreciate your desire to make Photoshop work the way you want it to, but why not consider placing the images as flattened raster layers?  Work at a higher resolution if you're concerned about losing quality in moving them around and rotating them, but you should really ask yourself:  Why do I want to fight with this ridiculous "smart object" embedding scheme and fight with such a huge file size instead of doing it the prudent way and ending up with a file that's much more efficient?

    I can not answer for Mike but I can tell you why I do collages some what like Mike placing user image file in as they are.  Populated Collages done that way are still Photoshop Layer Documents and can be tweaked by the user.  If you flatten and change image files on the user you destroy work that they have done creating layered images so they can be tweaked using these layers. The way I look at it is populated collages are works in progress untill they ready for final output. Flattening and Pasting in resized image are destructive processes and may even change composition by croping images. I feel it best not to distroy users work if at all posible.  Let the user do that if they wish to.  Using Smart Object let user use any image file they want, Any size, resolution and Image format that Photoshop support.  If the user chooses to use RAW files, PSD files  or any other it their choice and they may have a good reason to use PSD files for a given collage.  When the collage is ready for final output the user is free to flatten and save a compressed jpeg if the wish to save disk space and keep a copy of the collage. They do not have to save a layered collage if they don't wish too.  They only need to that if the batch process collage for later tweaking or the want to continue to work on the collage at some future date.  You don't fight you use smart object. They are only huge if you save layered files their rendered layers are not huge. If the filel is falttened the total rendered flat layer is just canvas size.

  • Photoshop - Preview - Printer = Size Change

    Hi,
    This might be more of a printer issue than Photoshop but i'm not sure... I'm trying to print off a few things in specific sizes. I've created the image in Photoshop (on Mac upstairs) and have to email/ USB it to the Macbook so i can take it to the printer. Now in Photoshop i check over and over again and the size is fine but as soon as i put it on the Macbook (without Photoshop) it prints off wrong. Is this because i'm opening it with preview? Or the printer? It's literally everytime, i make the exact size i want and check over and over and it prints off about .2 inches smaller one way and .15 smaller the other.
    Can anyone help? I just cannot work out a solution and deep down i have a feeling it's the damn printer but if anyone has a fix please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Martyn

    Are you using a "borderless" paper size? If so, the printer scales your image up slightly to make sure there are no gaps when there's a slight misalignment of the paper. If you then print to a different printer, the scaling isn't applied, and your image can be smaller.
    You really need to print straight from Photoshop to the printer, or at least to the printer driver for the printer you're going to print to. Otherwise getting the paper sizes (and thus the image sizes) to match up is going to be difficult.

  • Photoshop CS6 - Printing ICC Targets?

    So now that Adobe has completely eliminated the possibility of printing icc profile targets through Photoshop CS6 (cant do null transform anymore), how do you suggest we print ICC profile targets without color management? Yes, I'm aware of the ACPU, but that utility causes all kinds of issues with scaling and sizing the targets incorrectly. Are you planning on fixing the ACPU to work on the current operating systems?

    Why are you using absolute colorimetric? Are you trying to proof printing on a paper that is much more yellow than what you are printing on?
    If you are not trying to proof printing on another paper, use Relative Colorimetric.

  • Photoshop CS6 printing with Mac OS 10.10.2

    I recently attempted to print a 13x19 photo on a Canon PIXMA 9500MarkII color printer using CS6.  The printer driver continually reported an paper since error.  Eventually, I gave up and tried to print the same photo with Apple's Preview application and it worked.
    I contacted Canon support and they responded that the printing with Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6 x64 is not compatible with OS 10.10.2. 
    Does anyone have a solution or know if Adobe will be updating CS6?

  • Photoshop CS6 Options Bar Issue - OSX

    Hello,
    I am using Photoshop cs6 on my Mac and I hm having trouble with the options bar in the way. When I open two or more windows within Photoshop the options bar is covering up the X's that allows me to close them out and the tabs themselves. I have attached an image to show the problem. I have tried to move the option bar, but it seems that Photoshop wont allow me to do this. I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue or knows how to fix it.
    Thanks,
    Han

    It looks like the tool options bar isn't docked below the menu bar.
    You should be able to drag the tool opions bar by the tab on the left side up until you see a blue line and let go to dock the tool options bar.
    below is from a windows machine, but as far as i know it should work on a mac as well.

  • Photoshop CS6 Printing whites as yellows

    When printing from photoshop CS6 whites are coming out as yellows.
    I print as follows;
    Color Handling: Photoshop Manages Colors
    Printer Profile: EPSON Stylus Pro 4800
    Normal Printing
    Rendering Intent: Absolute Colorimetric
    (I need these settings as I print from sepcific palettes)
    In Print settings I print on Custom Mode with no color adjustment.
    I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and believe there must be an option somewhere to do with white handling I've missed.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Why are you using absolute colorimetric? Are you trying to proof printing on a paper that is much more yellow than what you are printing on?
    If you are not trying to proof printing on another paper, use Relative Colorimetric.
