Photoshop save as hires Bitmap

Hi there
I'm currently working on some banners which have to be printed on 4m94 x 1m05. I have a wood texture background and the foreground will consist of images that have been cutout in Photoshop.
The banners will be exported from InDesign to PDF. Now I wonder what's best: importing the background texture in InDesign and placing the other images on top of it (which means that I need hires bitmaps with transparant backgrounds), or should I create the banners in Photoshop (whole composition) and save them to hires bitmaps?
Another question: how can I save a hires bitmap in Photoshop? Or what is the definition, the settings etc. of a hires bitmap?
Thanks!

In Photoshop »bitmap« is often used to refer to 1-bit-bitmap-images, so the term is problematic on this context.
Or what is the definition, the settings etc. of a hires bitmap?
That would depend on your requirements really – please ask your print provider.

Another question: how can I save a hires bitmap in Photoshop?
Save a psd, that format supports transparency.
As for hires: try to work with what image data you have, if upsampling is unavoidable you could do a Forum search (of the old platform Fora) as that has been treated repeatedly.
As for doing the design in Indesign or Photoshop:
Difficult choice as both have drawbacks.
If you have sufficient RAM, work with Smart Objects and do the final output properly (in a format that supports vector data, pdf for example, and the correct Color Space) Photoshop is a viable option.

How to edit bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited bitmap back to xml in flash.

hi all
It would be appreciated if any one let me know how to edit
bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited
bitmap back to xml in flash.
Is it posible to save the bitmap data in flash?
thanks in advance

Yes you can... but like I said before you need to upload the
data from the changes you make to a server.
In terms of the solution... its unlikely that you'll find one
specifically for your needs. You will have to learn whatever you
don't know how already and maybe adapt some existing examples to
your needs.
To change the visual state of a movie clip... you just do all
the regular things that you want to do to it using flash... scale,
rotation, drawing API , textfields etc in actionscript. If you
don't know how to how to do that stuff, then you need to learn that
first. That's basic actionscript.
You can capture the visual state of a movieclip using the
BitmapData class. That includes a loaded jpeg. You can also
manipulate bimatp data using the same class. You should read up on
that if you don't know how to use it or check out the examples
below for uploading info.
For uploading to the server:
Here's an as2 solution that took 15 secs to find using
google:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000645.php
If you're using as3, google search for "jpeg encoder as3" and
look through that info. There are also historical answers in the
forums here related to this type of thing that might help as
well.

Exporting Hires Bitmaps in Flash 8

I have encountered a problem.
How can a printer business get hires bitmaps from flash
vector art,
needed to overcome the gradient fill problem of printing
through eps files..
It would seem that Flash 8 exports the artwork up to 300dpi,
and,
thereafter exports less and less of higher res bitmaps,
almost as if there is a memory cap in the program.

What kind of settings did you use?

Photoshop "Save As" problem. Extensions .jpg not automatically added.

Can someone please give me a tip?
My Old computer broke down and I bought a new one.
In the past when I selected "Save As" and then selected the file type ("Format" pull down menu) JPG I only had to type in the name and Photoshop added automatically ".jpg"
On the new computer it doesnt work any more.
Now I select "Save As"....file Type JPG....I give it a name and ....Photoshop saves it without extension
so later It cant be seen when I want to open the file.
What happened?
My System is Windows 7 Home Premium as my old system.

Yes, Windows is adjusted to display the extension.
Zeno, I dont add anything t the file name.
Last time with Photoshop on my acer computer i typed in the file name and Photoshop aded automatically .[dot]jpg
Photoshop on my new dell computer doesnt do that.

Help! Photoshop save selection got corrupted; help me fix

My copy of Photoshop is saving an inverse mask in Channels when I use "Selection>Save Selection", whereas it saves the standard mask in Channels when I save the selection using the mask button in the Channels Panel.
I noticed that my other install of Photoshop saves the same result by both methods.
How do I repair Photoshop so that it doesn't invert selections when using "Selection>Save Selection"?

Blurry smart objects in Photoshop Save for Web jpegs

I create graphs, etc in Illustrator, place them as Smart Objects in a master Photoshop file before outputing Save for Web jpegs to use as PowerPoint slide backgrounds. Everything created in Illustrator or Photoshop through that process (Quality 80 or 100 with any of the SfW options on or off) Save for Webs are blurry when imported (at 100%) into PowerPoint. The only way I have been able to get anything crisp in PowerPoint was saving a Photoshop pdf. However, that was only the text created in Photoshop. The Illustrator Smart Object part was still blurry. Anyone have any idea on the best process to combine Photoshop and Illustrator files into one file for import into PowerPoint as a clean, crisp background? At this point I am open to all suggestions.

There are parts that are being added in Photoshop, hence going from Illustrator through Photoshop as a Smart Object and then onto PowerPoint. If I wasn't 5 months down the line and just nearing deadline, I would recreate everything in Illustrator. Assuming that I have to continue at this point down the Illustrator through Photoshop line of working, how do you designate pngs or jpegs to be 220ppi. Jpegs have a 1-12 quality (and 12 is still blurry).
Note regarding PowerPoint, I embed the full-page image into the background so others that are using this can't move (by accident or on purpose) the background.

Photoshop saves JPEG images much too dark--any ideas?

Hi there, I'm having an issue with my Photoshop applications and I was hoping someone could give me a little insight/help in fixing the problem.
When working with a file in Photoshop (I am an artist, so I usually create my files from scratch rather than loading them from a camera), I can get the colors to appear as they should in the workspace. When I finish artwork, I make sure the colors are exactly as I want them, then save it as a JPEG file. However, if I open this JPEG file in any application--browsers, photo viewing programs--it is extremely dark and saturated. If I open the JPEG in Photoshop, though, it looks fine. This issue seems to have occurred spontaneously 3-4 months ago. I don't recall changing or deleting any of my monitor or video card preferences, or my color profiles. I was working with Photoshop Elements 4.0 at the time, and it suddenly started happening.
Now, I have found a sort of work-around for it. If I screencap my workspace with the artwork open in it, then I can open up that screencap in Photoshop. The colors are much TOO bright and washed out when I do this, but if I crop the image so it's just the artwork and save it, then it displays in browsers and viewing programs more or less as it should, i.e. how I see it in Photoshop. However, if I open that JPEG in Photoshop, it will display much brighter than the original artwork.
It's not a desperate issue since I have this weird work-around, but I'm currently trying to save images for printing--which means they need to be very large, and I'm not keen on zooming to 100% and screen-capping the art piece by piece, then stitching it all together before saving it. I'd really like to get this issue resolved. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I was using outdated software (PSE 4.0), but I've just recently upgraded to CS5 Extended and the same issue prevails.
If it's any help, I'm working on an HP EliteBook 8740w, with Windows 7 and an NVIDIA Quadro video card.
Here are the things I've tried, which haven't worked:
Deleting Photoshop preferences/settings (in both PSE 4.0 and CS5)
Uninstalling and re-installing both programs
Re-calibrating my monitor
Changing color settings in Photoshop (files still end up dark regardless)
Disabling OpenGL Drawing
Switching between file types when saving
I am at my wit's end! I am mostly concerned that my clients and professors aren't going to see my work as it is intended to look, when they view it online. The erratic behavior of too-dark or too-light, and my pictures seemingly never displaying correctly on any browser or in any program, has me a little paranoid about my online portfolio, haha. I'm applying for an art scholarship in a month, and if none of my work will save correctly (much less print correctly!) then it will be a sad day indeed!
As I said before, this problem seems to have popped up out of nowhere. My artwork from before the whole saving-too-dark issue began still displays perfectly in most programs, but the rest is totally hit-and-miss. If any of you have fixes or suggestions (even suggestions on adjusting Photoshop so that my images display more consistently in browsers and other programs) I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks so much for your time,
-Jenna

Though you have solved your problem, be aware, that different applications have different ways to interpret color profiles that can be set in different ways.
Example:
In Firefox, you can either set a color profile or not -- AFAIK, it only works with v2 ICC profiles (vs. v4, v3 seems to have not been released).
From that point, you can set perceptual, absolute, colormetric, or one other...(forget)... but usually you just set that to perceptual for monitor work as I understand it. Then a 3rd FF setting (all in its registry, of course, though occasionally there are extensions that let you manage the three settings. They correspond to values (accessible through 'about:config' in FF's address window), all under the prefix:
"gfx.color_management."
"display_profile" - text string of file containing a v2 ICC profile, usually in "C:\Windows\System32\Spool\drivers\color\" (at least on Win7) -- extention ".icm"
"mode" -- when to turn it on (2=for pics that have profiles set, another is for always (1?)), maybe 0=off?
"rendering_intent" - this corresponds to perceptual, abs, colormetric, types, I think 0=perceptual (default)
for FF, if you google one of those values, you'll find more info on some mozillian-type site... "prefix<keyname>" (e.g. - gfx.color_management.display_profile ).
Other progs may have their own or if we are lucky would use the system profile & color management system (assuming it is any good).
Getting an accurate monitor profile and keeping it updated as your monitor 'decays' (i.e. color is usually best when new, then they decay, w/useful life at max gamut ~ 18 months (in my experience), after that, you can still retune to the same white point, but with a loss of gamut due to the phosphors decaying at different rates).
It's best to use some sort of external calibration HW... -- as an external device looking at your monitor through it's various colors is the only way to get a 'digitally objective' measurement. That said, I always have concerns about the stability of the measuring device over time. Does it have components that that could cause non-linear measurement? Am guessing not as likely, as it isn't emitting anything so less wear & tear, but I wouldn't assume it's 100% accurate over time either (but certainly is better than one's own eye which can gradually adjust to just about anything). I had a viewsonic when I first got my current color device (a Spyder3), and it had gone from an original white point of 6500K down to 5700K -- and I had not noticed the difference (over 18-20 months)...
I could bring it back in range, but had lost gamut, and was a bit below the sRGB (consumer grade) standard (which is some fractional
value of the Adobe Photoshop or NTSC standards, which are similar in the size of their ranges, but slightly offset from each other).
The result of all this -- I never really know how my images will look on other monitors, but I try to tag them w/my current monitor profile, hoping that if they care about color, they'll have some SW on their end that can make sense of it...but given my own experience in how SW on the same system handles color differently, I wouldn't say they were 'high hopes'... ;-)

Photoshop "save as" dialog not working on Parallels

I have Photoshop CS5 running on a MacBook OS 10.8 under Parallels/Windows XP. When I try to "Save as", the dialog box does not come up. I have installed the latest update. The other CS5 programs (e.g., Dreamweaver and Fireworks) do not have this problem. Also, when I try to do a "Save for Web and Devices", the dialog box DOES come up, but it is oversized for the window and cannot be resized to make the control buttons accessible.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi Noel! Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to fiddle with the window resolution in the control panel. This made a mess...but in the process I discovered that if I run Photoshop in Coherence mode (i.e., not inside with Windows "window"), the dialogue box shows up. So, your suggestion about the window resolution did solve the problem.
Thank you!

Editing in Photoshop saves jpeg to "Originals", not "Modified"

I recently started using Photoshop CS6 to edit my photos from iPhoto 8.1.2. I've set up the preferences to use CS6 as my external editor, and "Use Raw when using external editor" (I am shooting raw format). The file opens fine in Adobe Bridge, I make my adjustments and bring it into Photoshop.
The problem comes when I try to save - previously, when I chose Save, CS6 knew to save the file back to the "Modified" folder in my iPhoto library. Now, it is saving it back to the "Originals" folder, along with an .xmp file, and of course the edited photo does not show up in iPhoto (neither in enlarged nor thumbnail views). If I choose Save As and try to save it to the Modified folder, I can't complete the path because the iPhoto library is a package and won't open in the Save As browser window.
How to get my save function back on track, so I can save directly back to Modified without having to import the files again?

If you're editing RAW in iPHoto with PS you must save the edited version as a new file outside of iPhoto and import into iPHoto from there. Only jpegs, tiffs, gifs can be edited in iPhoto by PS and have the normal Save get the edited version in the correct Modified folder.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

IPhoto & Photoshop Saves

Do I have this right?
I use iPhoto to organize my photos, and use it to launch Photoshop to edit a picture. As a photographer, I don't edit your originals. You save the edited version elsewhere. But I am unable to save it back to iPhoto in the original folder or a new one. The only way to get an edited photo back into iPhoto without overwriting the original is to save it elsewhere, then import it back into iPhoto.
Is this right? This doesn't seem a very "Apple" way to go about this, especially with such an obviously popular editing program. No one thought of this integration issue when dealing with an outside application?
I have yet to figure out why iPhoto design does this "library" way of storing everything. So far, using iPhoto instead of Adobe Bridge is very inflexible...but then again I'm migrating from Windows, so there may be ways of working with Apple's apps that aren't apparent to me.
Thanks for any advice or workarounds.

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto. But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11. If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

Terence Devlin wrote:
Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

Only by exporting.
The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG.

Photoshop Save As PDF Settings Text loses 100% Black or Color Density is too High

I am taking a CMYK Photoshop file and saving it as a PDF for a magazine.
By request, the company has asked that the color density does not exceed 260%. In the output setings of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box, under color, I have:
Color Conversion: Convert to Destination
Destination: U.S. Web Uncoated v2 (told to me by the magazine to use)
Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
When I create the PDF, SUCCESS!!! it works where the color density is under 260%.
I verified in Acrobat Pro X by going to View / Tools / Print Production / Output Preview with the following settings:
Simulation Profile: U.S. Web Uncoated v2
Sample Size: 3x3
Total Area Coverage checked and set to 260%
HOWEVER, when I do this, the text goes from CMYK 0 0 0 100 to using all four colors. I have been recommended by the company to keep pure back on the text due to possible registration errors.
If I export out to PDF using the "PDF/X-1a" (inside photoshop pdf export), then I can get the text to keep 0 0 0 100 but the color density goes way over 260%.
Has anyone had this problem? I cannot get the color density to stay under 260% AND keep the text to 100% black.
Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Thank you Mylenium for your reply. What you have said makes sense but I am not sure how to implement it. I did a google search on Photoshop Multichannel mode and I did really find anything helpful or relevant.
I tried playing with the multichannel just the same. I made a copy of my photoshop document first (just in case I screwed up my file) and I converted it to multichannel mode from the current CMYK. (Image / Mode / Multichannel) Under "Channels" I looked at each layer (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) individually and the text and other black areas in question were only on the black channel as it should be. Now that I am in multichannel mode, I cannot "Save As" a Photoshop PDF file so I had to do a Print to PDF option. I used the same export setting (or as close that I could tell) that I was using before and I still ended up with the same problem. My color density is under 260% but my black text is using 4 channels.
I also noticed that when I converted to Multichannel mode, the color of the image did change / shift a bit which also has me a bit worried.
Can you describe how I am to implement Multichannel mode to get my desired output? Also, can you elaborate on "custom channel for text blacks"?
I appreciate the help, thank you!

How to make Photoshop save Aperture imported JPEG images as JPEGs

Recently, I upgraded from Photoshop CS 5 to CS 5.1.
My point and shoot cameras record in JPEG format. Often, I'll import those photos into Aperture and then tweak them in Photoshop using the Edit in External Editor command. My preferences for the external editor in Aperture were set to 8-bit, Photoshop
With Photoshop CS 5, I would edit the photo and choose Save and the edited photo would be saved back to Aperture as a new version, in a JPEG format.
Now, using Photoshop CS 5.1, when the imported image from Aperture is converted into a PSD file and when I save back to Aperture, I end up with a PSD file.
How can I revert to how it was before? JPEG image in Aperture, opened in external editor Photoshop as a JPEG, edited in Photoshop, then saved back to Aperture as a new version JPEG?
(Though this question is approached in this forum, a solution to my question is never found as each dicussion ends up going off-topic from the original question)

clapperincus wrote:
Any further ideas from anyone who's experienced trying to open a JPEG from Aperture in Photoshop as a JPEG?
Like I said before, you cannot open a jpeg as a jpeg, the file must be decompressed to open in PS or in Aperture, and that has always been the case.
I do not know how it used to work, but I tested and you are correct that with PS 12.1 and with Aperture 3.2.2 a JPEG sent to open in external editor (PS) is opened into your choice of lossless format and then goes back to Aperture in the lossless format you chose.
IMO this is the way it should be, because every save into JPEG loses image data, so such saves should be limited to the final export, in this case when the image actually leaves Aperture. If the file was compressed as a JPEG when leaving PS, decompressed and edited in Aperture, then compressed again to export as JPEG from Aperture, unnecessary additional image data loss would occur.
It is always better to save the application of lossy compression until the very last step in a workflow because other usages (printing, for instance) may occur before applying the lossy compression.

Applescript/Photoshop save JPEG dialog hangs open

re: OS 10.8.2 / Photoshop CS5.1
I have searched this issue but have not found a resolution. Every post I've found presents
"save current document in file filePath as JPEG with options myOptions"
as sufficient. When I try it, the dialog just hangs open:
This snippet works fine with TIFFs and PDFs:
tell application "Finder" to set filePath to (home as string) & "Desktop:TestFolder:Test.TIFF"
set thePosix to quoted form of POSIX path of filePath
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1"
          set fileOptions to {class:TIFF save options, image compression:none, byte order:Mac OS, save alpha channels:true, save spot colors:true, embed color profile:true}
     save current document in file filePath as TIFF with options fileOptions
end tell
But when I try to save a JPEG this way, the Save dialog opens with the correct options, but it just stays open. I even tried to exit through the GUI (commented out) but the script is clearly waiting for the save to complete - the GUI commands never execute.
tell application "Finder" to set filePath to (home as string) & "Desktop:TestFolder:Test.JPEG"
set thePosix to quoted form of POSIX path of filePath
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1"
          set fileOptions to {class:JPEG save options, quality:8, embed color profile:true}
     save current document in file filePath as JPEG with options fileOptions
          delay 1
          tell application "System Events"
                    tell process "Photoshop"
                              keystroke return
                              delay 1
                              keystroke return
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
This doesn't happen with a TIFF or a PDF. How do I exit the dialog?
Thanks for your help.

Where's the dialog? Please post your full script.
