Playing pics created in Photoshop on flatscreen TV..how ?

Hi,
Used Photoshop to make my digital   SLR pics into 1920 x 1080 pixels size, so that they will fit perfectly  a  HD TV which I understand is that resolution, and as HD Ready is   proportional to this at 1280 x 720,  assume it shrinks to that size.
Put them as jpg files to a CD.
Visit friends house, put CD in dvd player connected   to a new Sony Bravia  HD ready TV via scart lead. DVD player  will  play stills Cd to TV.
BUT….Picture does not fill the screen.Black margins across top and down sides.
Try Auto and Zoom settings.
Pic is only 67% height with Auto and 87% height with Zoom.
Screen is 324mm high
They are not even central, but offset a bit.
Why is the TV taking an image that should proportionally fit  and has  enough pixels to do so, and shrinking it ? and not even placing  it  equidistant from the screen edges ?
So what is the secret to playing digital stills on a flatscreen TV ?
Is it that a dvd player cannot output 1080px height images, as dvd is designed for video resolution ?
What input method should be used.
Friend is elderly and has a simple dvd player, scart output, no latest input sockets. has latest sony TV though.
There must be many wishing to play their images onto a big screen, how is it done ?

If those players can handle 1920 x 1080, and are attached by HDMI, then there should be no issue.
If the player is hooked by composite cables, or coax, then the images are likely being down-rezzed to 720p and the TV is not up-rezzing them.
With video (even though you have stills), there are just so many variables in the equipment chain, and many equipment-dependent settings, that it becomes a bit of a crap-shoot.
Good luck,

  • Use Videos Created in Photoshop within After Effects - Possible?

    Hello, newbie here. Can i use create video files in Photoshop CC and then import them in After Effects CC as video files?
    I create video files in Photoshop CC using Photoshop CC's timeline* and save the video project in Photoshop as TIFF or PSD.
    When i import these TIFFs oder PSDs to After Effects, they will only appear as still images, whatever settings i use on import (footage vs. layers). I don't see how to have the TIFFs or PSDs playing in After Effects as a video.
    Is it even possible to bring a video project from Photoshop to AE as video and not as a still image?
    I understand that the alternative would be to render the Photoshop video as MP4 and bring that MP4 into After Effects. I would prefer to avoid the MP4 route though.
    Thanks!

    Dave, thanks - i import now the PSD file as "Sequence" and as "Composition - Retain Layer Size" and then i click "Create new Composition from Selection".
    Then i get a timeline which shows the correct running time of the video created in Photoshop. All the layers and tracks are there. I also see either an image from the video or a black screen.
    But i cannot play it. I can't see different frames of the video - neither by dragging the timeline marker nor by clicking "Play/Pause".
    That's certainly an awkward newbie problem - seeing your video, but not able to even play it. But i even watched through the full length of three extremely detailed Adobe/Lynda video tutorials (on the official Adobe site) and didn't get closer to an answer why the video doesn't play in AE.
    I have to admit that on importing i get a Quicktime error message. I also studied the official Adobe page regarding that error message and didn't understand it. But i know that when i 'had* Quicktime installed previously, it ruined my system and my mood.
    So if you have any quick hint, that would be great. Thanks!

  • How can I convert an image created in Photoshop into a format that Java's ImageIO library will take?

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to write an image resize tool to use the Lancoz resample algorithm to resize images to a high standard in Java.  The library with the algorithm/filter in it is mortennobel's image scaling library and it takes a buffered image as an input and returns the resized image as desired.  However the trouble I’m having is that the ImageIO library in Java, a standard library, which converts images given to its read method to buffered images doesn't accept certain images created in Photoshop and so it throws an exception.  My library needs to be fully automated to process possible thousands of images at a time and so manually converting them by resaving them as JPEG's is really feasibly.  Is there some way I can convert these images from Adobes Exif format to standard JFIF format?  I've tried simple inserting the APP0 marker from a JFIF image in-between the SOI and APP1 marker but the ImageIO library still failed.
    The above image is a screenshot of the binary in hex of one of the images that cause an Invalid Format exception when passed to ImageIO.
    Any help you could offer me with this would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards and thank you,

    NB: I previously posted this post in Developers but was told to post it in a Photoshop forum so apologies if this is the incorrect formum

    The image scaling library does have a BiCubicFilter in it so I'll experiment around with them and see what happens.  As for the imageIO library I think it accepts Exif image types, but still for some reason it just doesn't like Adobe Photoshop types.  Maybe its the colour map it doesn't like I just can't seem to work out what's wrong which is slightly frustrating but looking round to see if I can find an answer

  • Is there a way to allow content/text editing in a layered PDF created in Photoshop?

    I get the error "Acrobat has detected that this page does not have editable text"

    I created a Photoshop PDF in Photoshop CS6, then tried to edit it in Acrobat XI (all under Windows 7 x64). I got the same message.
    I open the same Photoshop PDF back into Photoshop and I was able to edit the type layer there. So all I can tell you is that the Photoshop PDF has to be edited in Photoshop.

  • Opening/Saving Softimage PIC files in Photoshop CC

    Greetings Collective,
    I am trying to open and save Softimage .PIC files in Photoshop CC and having no luck. In my previous version of Photop, CS3, everything worked fine after loading the correct plugin from the goodies dir on disk. In CC I've attempted various things, such as downloading the plug-in for CS4 (all I could find on the web) and copying "Softimage.8bi" into Required\PlugIns\FileFormats but to no avail. Tried both the 8-bit and 16-bit versions - same results. Anyone have a solution?

    Probably adobe plugins from cs4 won't work in photoshop cc, so take that plugin out and try the softimage plugin from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/plug-ins-photoshop-cs61.html
    Put the plugin in the Plugins folder, not in the required plugins.

  • Flash problem with shadows created in PhotoShop

    I am relative flash newbie. I created a PSD file in photoshop
    that has a "hole" in it and the hole has drop shadow, the
    background is transparent. Saved out PSD and created new Flash
    file.
    Put this graphic on one layer and image on a layer behind to
    show through. But the drop shadow I created in Photoshop does not
    show correctly. It's much lighter over top of the graphic behind
    it.
    Any ideas?
    Using -> Photoshop CS2 Flash MX
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Thanks the PNG helped a little but I guess it is a
    transparency issue with the graphic.

  • Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.

    Can I open psd files created in Photoshop CC with lower version? Actually CS5.
    My home and office have different version each.

    Yes, PROVIDED that the file has not been saved with any layers containing any of the specific new features introduced starting with Photoshop CC and higher.
    If the file has been flattened or if it was flat to begin with there will be no problems.

  • Clicking an image created in Photoshop launches the program but...

    Not sure where else to ask this. There isn't a Photoshop area.
    New OS9 to OSX here. Going from Photoshop 6 (don't laugh) to CS1. When I click on an image created in Photoshop it launches the program but does not open the image. I have to either go into the "open" command and do it manually or do it by finding the document in my HD. Either way it's a drag and I suspect it's not the way it's supposed to be. It's a real time-loser.
    The only thing I can think of is it's because I'm clicking on an image that was created on my G3 using Photoshop 6. On the other hand it DOES launch the program so I am not exactly sure what is going on.
    Has anyone had the same experience?
    Thanks.

    What happens if you click on Get Info and "open with" and set the image type to always use CS1?
    Other thought would be to use Onyx or Tiger Cache Cleaner to update the "Launch Services" which is what connects and controls applications and document types.
    (Might even want to consider Pogue's "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual" or something.)
    Make sure you have Tiger compatible programs, don't have something installed which is not (Norton Utilities is out).
    Set up a new test account or even a test system on another drive. And use that for doing repairs. Word of caution: never update OS X without a backup of your system.

  • Import error when importing .psd file created in Photoshop CS3

    I have a file that was created in Photoshop CS3. I am trying to import this file into Catalyst CS5, but I keep getting an input error. I created a file in Photoshop CS5 and I was able to import this .psd file successfully into catalyst. So I guess my question is this; Does Catalyst support .psd files created in Photoshop CS5 only? If this is the case, how can I convert the CS3 .psd to a CS5 .psd

    I am now building my files using photoshop CS5. A few challenges I have experienced while trying to import into Catalyst:
    - If I do a straight import into Catalyst, I loose all my colors in Catalyst. That is, catalyst imports all my vectors without any of the colors I had in Photoshop. My understanding is that Catalyst has libraries to support Photoshop files, so your import from Photoshop should not look any different in Catalyst.
    Work Around: I have had to rasterize / merged all my image layers for the different components I have built in Photoshop CS5. Then when I start the import process I click the Advanced button on the catalyst import dialog. From the advanced dialog, I have to flatten (to bitmap) all the images I intend to import.
    This process takes about two hours because I have a lot of components on the page.
    Is there something  I'm not doing right here? I'm not seeing the value add to Catalyst, if it's taking me this long to just import .psd files

  • Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

    Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
    File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
    Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
    Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
    Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
    Please Help!

    Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
    Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
    Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

  • File Compatibility, Files Created w/Photoshop on Apple Will Not Open on Windows platform

    I have created a book in InDesign CS5.5 that contains Photoshop documents created in Photoshop CS5.1 using a Windows 7 professional 64bit computer. These files were subsiquently modified by a Graphic Artist using the same versions of this software running on an Apple computer. When his files were packaged by Indesign and then returned to me, the linked .tiff files that he had modified in Photoshop would not open again on my computer. Note that other liinked photographs that had not been subsequently modified opened correctly and that the InDesign document included in the package would link and open correctly when the InDesign document opened. Is this a problem with cross platform compatibility?

    The platform that created or reads the file doesn't matter -- the files are the same.
    No, that is not a platform compatibility issue - because there are no such issues.
    Are the files failing to open in Photoshop, or InDesign?
    What does the error say when they fail to open?

  • Tiff (or tif) file created in Photoshop is not displaying in Firefox 2 or 3 with Quicktime plugin

    I embedded a tiff file that was created in Photoshop but it is not displaying in Quicktime/Firefox.
    It works in other browsers but not Firefox 2 or 3. And another point is that if the Tiff file is created in any other graphics application then it works!
    It leads me to think that Photoshop might be adding some metadata to the file that Quicktime/Firefox is not liking.
    Any ideas on what might fix this?

    There are different types of TIF files with different kinds of contents (compression schemes, channels, bit depths, etc). It is no surprise that you might get different results with different browsers/plugins.
    What kind of TIFF are you using? Why are you not using a more standard web image format that does not require the overhead and hassle of an optional plugin?

    Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.
    Could it be something i have done in my settings?
    or when i am saving the file to JPEG?

    Basically you're approaching this the wrong way around. What you need is the extreme sections to be quieter, not louder. The problem with moving the lower end of the audio is that you'll move the noise floor too, and get what's generally referred to as a 'pumping' effect. So what you do is to use a compressor to tame the peaks, and leave the lower level sound alone. When you've done that, you amplify (or normalize to a level you can determine) the whole signal. So the noise floor will be higher, but constant and not pumping. 'Match Volume' is a completely different tool for setting the overall levels of different tracks so that they sound approximately the same - it doesn't even begin to do what you want.
    If it's music you are treating, then I'd almost certainly use the multiband compressor, because you get less artefacts with this. You need to experiment with the threshold levels, and almost certainly not use a massive compression ratio - 3:1 or 4:1 should be sufficient (although it's hard to tell without actually hearing the audio). You can tell what it's doing at any given point because the downward meter indicates how hard it's working. In theory you can apply make-up gain with it as well, but personally I leave that until everything's treated and use the 'Normalize' tool to set an absolute max level.
