Photoshop prints smaller than desired

Please assist, I know I must have some setting or workplace thing set incorrectly but can't find it. I have a PSD file that is 8.5 x 11 inches with resolution of 300px. When I go to print it, it prints as a thumbnail size. I tried dropping the resolution tp 72PX, still prints incorect size. My printer settings are fine, it shows as if it's going to print 8.5 x 11.
Any help would be appreciated.   I'm still at P.S. CS4 on Windows XP.   

HALLELULIA!!! I've never used 'comments' and didn't know it create this problem. Wow - problem solved. I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this, but couldn't find it in the last month's inquiries - many thanks, Dennis. Pam

  • When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
    1360 x 1360 = 1.0
    790 x 640 = 1.23
    2048 x 1366 = 1.5
    An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
    So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing.  The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.

  • Image in Photoshop looks smaller than in a viewer. Please help!!!

    When i view an image in PS CC in looks 2 times smaller than in Mac OS Preview or in any other viewer. I tried it on another computer - same thing. (Photoshop CC, 15 inch Macbook Pro with Retina display)
    Moreover, while the image looks sharp in photoshop, in viewer it looks like it's been magnified to 200%. So i create an image in photoshop say 300x300 pixels, 72 dpi, save it as jpeg, open in Preview at 100% and it looks twice as big as in photoshop and blury. if i post this image to the website, it looks exacly as in viewer, but not like in photoshop. Don't know what to do. Please help

    You do not understand some things.  Any image DPI resolution is meaningless when it comes to displays. Displays are normally run are their native resolution which is not 72DPI.  Retina displays are high resolution displays and many applications user interfaces were designed for display with low dpi resolution like 96DPI.  So their user interfaces will display very small on high resolution displays.  So Apple Mac  OS may have to scale up some application their User interface so the will display the same size as the would on a low resolution display to be useable. It is also possible that the Mac viewer may also scale up things so the look like the would on low resolution displays.  Photoshop would most likely display images on a retina display without scaling things up. So the would smaller and sharper in Photoshop.  It all about resolution.  A pixel has no size till there is a DPI association.  DPI defines pixel size for example 300 dpi with square aspect ratio would mean there are 9000 pixels per square inch each pixel would be 1/300"x1/300"  At 100DPI each square inch contain contain 1000 pixels each would be 1/100x1/100inch an image with 1200x1800pixels would print 4"x6" at 300dpi and would print 12" x 18" at 100DPI the 300dpi image is smaller and sharper then the 100DPI image.
    Web pages are normally design to fit on displays.  Displays have a limited number of pixels,  So web pages are design for the mythical standard display.  In the past displays all had low resolution and the number of pixel they had were typically 640x480, 800x600 then 1024x768 all had 4:3 aspect ratios. That changed some displays showed up with 5:4 aspect ratios then in 2001 IBM showed up with LCD  22.2" 9.2 MP 16:10 204dpi and 3860x2400pisels. The marketplace was not ready at that time. Even now the marketplace is not ready.  They are making 10" tablets these days with 2560x1600 pixels with a 300DPI resolution.   Web pages these days need versions for high resolution mobile devices like laptops and tablets as well as for desktops on old  devices. Other solutions are being worked on to dynamically alter web a page on servers and devices for the display the user is currently using.
    Bet you still do not know what to do but perhaps you understand what is going on.

  • PDFs printing smaller than original

    Suddenly, those who receive my appleworks>save as PDF files they tell me the image is smaller than it should be. For years this has not been a problem. Help, please? I'm on iMac OS 10.5.8. Many thanks.

    At the bottom of the Compose window, on the left, do you not see a heading for Message Size and that reports the message size? And at the bottom right, another heading for Image Size and then a button menu that says something like Actual Size, or maybe Large or Medium? If other than Actual Size, click on the arrows beside that, and choose Actual Size.

  • Problem - Prints smaller than 100%

    I've got a 110 page book and I'm about to do a final print before making a pdf to send to printer. When I print, the print size comes out as if it's set for 90 or 80%. I've got Page Set up as 100% and portrait - the margins are OK.
    The front matter is in a separate document and prints fine and I can't find what's the difference in any settings between the documents. I'm in a time crunch

  • Adobe PDF files are printing out smaller than 8 1/2 by 11; only happens on Firefox not IE.

    I downloaded the latest free version of Adobe Reader.
    Now on Firefox, the page view is surrounded by a black screen. I can increase the view size, and have the document fill the whole page. However, when I go to print, the document prints smaller than an 8 1/2 x 11 page with black space (almost as if I scanned something without a cover) all around it.
    Not only is it difficult to read some files, I'm wasting black ink.
    I happened to be on another site using Internet Explorer and when I downloaded a file using that browser, everything was normal. No unusual size dimensions, no problems printing.
    Seems to be a Firefox issue.
    Any suggestions?

    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or to Always Ask.
    *Tools > Options > Applications
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

  • I'm trying to get the image to print correct size.  i've tried center image, fit to media image,  and they all come out the same size...smaller than the size in "image size".  is this an Epson problem or Photoshop problem.  Thanks!

    I just got a new printer...Epson R3000...but have had this problem before.  It's probably a simple fix, but I can't figure it out.  I'm asking for printing on 8.5 x 11 and the image comes out 6.5 x 9.5 every time.  Help please!  And thanks!

    The Epson site stated that the R3000 printer can print borderless however the quality will suffer in the expanded print area. Borderless is not supported on some heavy paper.  To me the means your better off limiting you images size to the standard print area. There will be magins about 1/8" on the four  sides so the print area on 8.5"x11" paper is 8.26" x 10.76"....
    Take note of the print size set by the epson driver it may change depending on the paper type set. Note my first epson 4800 setup where I set 8.5" x 11" sheet paper from tray into the printer setting the driver set a smaller size for the paper which was reflected into the Photoshop Print preview. It shows paper is 8.499" x 10.999 with a small unprintable area across the top....
    Paper
    Use paper under normal conditions:
    Temperature: 59 to 77 °F (15 to 25 °C)
    Humidity: 40 to 60% RH
    Note:
    Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot guarantee the quality of any non-Epson brand or type of paper. Always test a sample of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.

  • For some reason all of my forwards, and my printing come out significantly smaller than the original. Any idea how to get this back to printing the size of my screen and forwarding the size of the original mail I've received? Thanks.

    Hi. I am not technically proficient. I have somehow hit something that is making my email forwards and text to the printer way smaller than what is appearing on my screen. I have looked into everything I can think of in settings and outlook express. If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate them. I assume that one click and I'll be back to "normal", but can't figure out which darned click that would be.  Thanks.

    Have you checked Outlook's font preferences?  You can change to size under General Preferences>Fonts.  You can also change font sizes by using ⌘shift+

  • Printed type much smaller than screen type

    I'm working on a Sawtooth G4 running OS 9.2.2. When I print (SimpleText, Word, Excel) the printed type is much smaller than the designated screen size. For instance, if I print 24-point type, it comes out about 14 or 12. If I print 12, it's about six- or seven-point.
    The only application not affected is QuarkXPress 4.0.
    I'm running ATM Deluxe 4.6.1.
    Ideas?

    That suggets the wrong driver, or wrong configuration in the right driver.
    What printer is this, please?
    Has it ever worked properly and does it have the maker's latest drivers for OS 9?
    Does it make ny difference what font is used?
    Does the same text still shrink in Word and not in XPress if it's typed in one then pasted into the other?

  • Printed page smaller than page settings

    Hi. Not sure if anyone's got experience with this, but for some reason in Office 2008, Word seems to have reduced the size of the page layout settings by about 30%. In other words, with page layout set to A4 sized paper, the print preview and actual printed page both act as if the print area is smaller than the actual page. The font is reduced, the space between lines, everything. So, although the font is set to 12 point, it comes out much smaller. I've checked page settings on both the printer and Word preferences (both are set to A4), updated the printer driver, and everything else I can think of. When I go back to my previous version of Word, no problem. Can anyone comment? Thanks.

    Have you checked the default setup in like TextEdit under Page Setup, or made a new Default Page Size?

  • Photoshop CS6 saves the JPGs smaller than they appear in Photoshop...

    Photoshop CS6 saves the jpgs smaller than they appear in Photoshop...
    If I change a file in Photoshop to 72 dpi and scale it down to approximately 1-2 MB,
    it is after saving as a JPG half the size than it was showed in Photoshop (350KB).
    WHY?
    I have the operating system OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Macbook.
    Can someone help me please???
    Eva

    Jpeg is a lossy compression format. 1-2 MB is the uncompressed size.
    What is lossless and lossy compression? - Definition from WhatIs.com
    You can better see the effect in File > Save for Web. You can move the slider from 100% and see the effect on file size.

  • Photoshop CC displays images 25% smaller than other apps?

    Why is Photoshop CC displaying images 25% smaller than my other applications? If I open a 72 ppi square pixel aspect image in Photoshop, I have to zoom to 125% for it to be the same size on screen as in my browser or any other image viewer. Photoshop reads the correct pixel sizes, but displays it smaller.
    I design and build websites and have been using Photoshop for over 15 years and haven't noticed this until CC. If I save the images and build out the site, or even just drag the image into a browser and then overlay that browser window above the Photoshop window to see both images side by side, I can clearly see a 25% difference in size.
    If I zoom in Photoshop to 125%, then the sizes match. So, the problem is when designing a website, everything looks smaller in photoshop. Then when I build it out, everything is way too big.
    My browsers are definitely at 100% zoom and I can open the image in any other image viewer at 100% and the affect is the same.
    Is there a setting that can be adjusted in Photoshop to correct this?

    I also have the same issue. I can reporoduce exactly what Roger2012Jr mentions above.
    I have Photoshop CC, Windows 8.1, screen resolution 1920 x 1080. Files look really sharp in Photoshop, but when the file is exported (for web or not) the image is blurry and about 125% the size it was in Photoshop. Also, when I bring an image from the web, tried with a random image it still looks perfectly sharp in Photoshop, just about 80% actual size. That same image exported still looks perfect in the browser, same as it was originally.
    So starting from scratch with an image, there's no way to guarantee the quality when exported and quality looks really blurry. I can't use the program with any sense of confidence.
    Can someone from Adobe shed any light on this?

  • Photoshop brush strokes are smaller than the cursor, need to make them the same.

    My photoshop brush, pencil and Clone strokes are smaller than the cursor, which makes it very difficult for accuracy. Don't know what made them change, but want the cursor and stroke to be the same.
    I've tried different settings in the brush dialog box, with differenc tip settings, etc, with no results. Also, tried different settings in Preferences/Cursor setting. No luck.
    Help!

    <<<<
    Under Preferences (cmd k) > Cursors > Painting Cursors, the setting should be Normal.
    Usually "Reset Tools" as described in post 1 helps. Have you tried it yet?

  • How do I print more than one custom-size photo on a page in PSE 10?

    I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Photoshop Elements 10.  I make greeting cards, and on PSE 6 I was able to print two custom-size (6-1/2” x 5”) cards on each 8-1/2” x 11” sheet of photo paper.  The option to print more than one custom-size card on a single sheet of paper is not available in PSE 10.  I want to know how I can print more than one custom-size card (or photo) on a page in PSE 10?
