Print Size different than what is on screen

I use Elements 9 and print to an Epson 7900, when I have an image 12 1/2" x 18" the actual print size is coming out 12 1/4" x18 any suggestions, It's getting really frustrating......

Make sure the print resolution is the same as the image resolution. You can check in the Elements Editor: File à Print
In the print dialog check actual size.

Text Size When Printing Comments Different Than On-Screen

Hello. We are supporting an end-user with an unusual problem. They are able to make sticky comments fine and adjust the font size on screen. However, when this user goes to print either to a physical printer or a PDF, the font size of the comment is different (smaller) than what is shown on screen.
On-Screen Example:
Print To PDF Example:
Is there an option to match the text size of the printed version to that of the on-screen? Even if the printed text size can be bumped up just a bit, it'd be greatly appreciated. The font size when commenting on-screen is 18 Arial but it seems like the printed version is more like 10 Ariel.
Thank you.

Just tried the latest version of Adobe Reader and the same issue occurs. Making the on-screen font size 70 in the Commenting Preferences field makes NO CHANGE when printed (comes out at about 10 / 12 point font). Even the Print Preview doesn't show the larger font so there's some setting getting lost when you go to print.
Talking to our client, this problem likely coincides with Adobe updates that were pushed out. This is easily reproducible (anyone with an up-to-date version of Adobe Reader can do this) but doesn't seem to be a fix.
Any help out there?

Prints are darker than what appears on PC screen

Windows Vista Business OS
Acer laptop PC
PSE6
Good morning.
I'm so hoping that someone has an easy solution to this printing issue.
In PSE6, I've created 85 scrapbook poem pages in the following format: 300 dpi; 12 x 12 size that will be reduced to a print size of 8 x8.
I worked all summer on this project for my 98-year young grandma who is the author of these poems. Gram is spry and healthy, but given her age, we are both concerned that it will take a long time to remedy the problem - if the only solution to lighten is to go through each layer of all 85 pages and reset the light intensity. As she says in jest, "time" is really not on her side. This is our second poem book project - the first was handmade scrapbook poem pages that were printed directly from a UPS copycenter printer.
For this second project, I printed some test copies of a couple of pages on my inkjet Lexmark printer. Photo quality paper: the printed copy was much darker than what appeared on the laptop PC screen - details couldn't be distinguished. Lower quality paper: the printed copy had a faded looking print.
I will be taking the PDF format of the pages to the UPS copycenter, again. I've been told that the prints can be lightened, however, I'm concerned that the quality of the print will be compromised.
Any easy solutions to resolve this problem?
Thank you.
Shinlee

Any suggestions or comments about this topic? I've been told by the UPS copy center that lightness/darkness modifications can be made from their printer; however my concern is that the print quality will be affected (i.e. lightening will cause a faded look).

FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

Please help ASAP.
Specs: IOS 10.6.8
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
Editing with FCP 7
When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
Thanks,
MV

What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

Adobe 8.1.2 print size larger than adobe 7.0.5

I have started rolling out Adobe 8.1.2 to replace 7.0.5 and noticed a significant change in the size of the files spooled to the printer ....
Printing a pdf for example in adobe 7.0.5 to a file results in 350k but in Adobe 8.1.2 this results in a 1.5mb file.
This has a massive impact on our printers as some documents are being increased to a much larger size than what Adobe 7.0.5 gives out.
Can anyone explain this and how to make the print size the same as what Adobe 7.0.5 gives out ...
Thanks for any assistance

I believe that I found a fix for this by going into 'My Computer'>Tools>Folder Options>File Types, where I changed the 'destination' file used to open PDF files from the older Adobe that was listed to the most recently installed version (8.1.2) (which is AcroRd32.exe, not simply AcroRd.exe). This change now shows up when I'm opening a downloaded PDF file; the automatic program to do so is now indicated as the newly installed Adobe 8.1.2. My other PDF files are now opening automatically.

Image size different than the Bridge

question. I shoot raw images and can export to jpeg in The Bridge at 6144 x 4096 (25.2 MP) 300 dpi. Opened in Photoshop that's a 20.4x13.6
Why do the same images export from Lightroom at 3286 x 2191, 300 dpi??
In photoshop that just under 11.6x7.7
Where can I fix this in Lightroom please?

There is no advantage to upresing until you go to print, and even then that's assuming the upresing you do is better than what the printer/printer driver does. The 1DII is an 8.2MP camera, and always upresing your images to 25MP sounds like a waste of disk space to me.

Print size different in LR compare to CS3

I have a Canon ip5000 which I use in Lightroom and CS3. When I go under Page Setup then Print Size, we doesn't get the same choices. Under LR, I get few choices ( 5 only) like 5x7, 4x6, letter, etc. In CS3, I get a lot more (10 or 12 choices), in particular the custom choice. Does anybody had ever notice that behavior ? Why is it different ?

I reinstalled all Canon software but the drivers are included in Vista. And there is no update. I checked DPP, LR and CS3. All three have different choices for print size. I'm confuse.

What's showing in the layer palette is different than what is on the canvas - Illustrator CS6

I am not a super user in Illustrator but I know my way around it and understand more than the basics. I downloaded this vector from Shutterstock, but what I am seeing on the layer palette is different from what is on the canvas and if I try to save or export it to anything else the result comes out looking like the layers palette - almost black.
And it's only happening on a few of the objects, as you can see from the image, the apple and other leaves are fine. It is also doing it to the pumkin and some of the grapes in the cornicopia. Any idea what is going on? I checked all my layers to see if something looked weird but they all look fine...
When I open the original .eps file from Shutterstock in Photoshop, I get the same black objects.

What OS? If Mac, then this might be affecting you.

Keyboard issue - types different than what keyboards shows

Hi,
before my keyboard settings were Spanish (Dutch), since today these settings are just Spanish ... resulting in some keys giving a different outcome than what it shows on the keyboard.
For example when I want to type \ by using the ALT + 1st button on 2nd row I keep on getting { ... and this applies to a lot of other signs/symbols as well.
I tried to change it through language settings but not to my surprise Spanish (Dutch) is nowhere to be found there.
What does this Spanish (Dutch) actually mean ... and more important how can I get it back?
I´m sure this is very easy to sort out ... I just don't seem to find the solution.
Can anyone help?

Your keyboard layout is determined by what box is checked in system preferences/language & text/input sources. Go there and make sure that only the layout you want has its box checked.
There is no keyboard layout called Spanish (Dutch). Try Spanish ISO or Dutch and see if that is what you are used to. If not, please provide some additional examples of particular key combinations you want and we will try to determine which layout you should check.

I am having a problem with homesharing on my apple tv. The email address on my tv is different than what I am registered with. How do I correct the email address that is being displayed under home sharing on the apple tv?

Somehow my apple id email address under homesharing on my apple tv is different than that used for homesharing on itunes in my imac. I can't access home sharing on my apple tv because of this. Can you please tell me how to change it on the apple tv in order to get homesharing to work?

turn off home sharing on apple tv, then turn it on again, entering new credentials. Apple-TV works very reliably with home sharing unlike iDevices which don't

PSE 9: Image size is printing/saving larger than what I selected.

I was sent some pdf files for a banner for my kids' upcoming birthday party. When I open one of the images it said that the image size was 7"x7" (it's a 7" circle) so I left it as is. The only thing I changed on the sign was I changed the color of a number and two letters from pink to blue and that was it. I then saved the image and gave it a new name. When I look at it, upload it to the print shop or print it from my home computer the image is no longer 7" but is now 8" (the circle) and it larger than the rest of the banner pieces. I have no idea how to get it to print/upload at the original 7" size.

I opened this image in PSE, and the diameter measures 6" on my equipment. Be that as it may, if you want to reduce the size try the following:
Go to Window and check rulers to make them visible
Open picture file
Duplicate background layer. Shut off visibility of the background layer by clicking on its eye icon. Work on the background copy layer.
Access the move tool, and using one of the corner handlles drag towards the center to make image smaller. Commit.
Flatten image

Print color different than screen color

I'm a novice InDesign user. I need someone to explain to me in the most simple of terms how to get my documents printed in-house on a simple laser printer to print in the same colors as what I see on my screen when working in InDesign. Exporting to PDF or .jpg and printing still doesn't print the colors correctly. The printed colors are always darker. Thank you!

Color management is a complex subject, but if you want to get accurate color the first thing you need to is calibrate and profile your monitor (and it helps to have a high quality monitor -- cheapies just don't cut it for accurate color work). You cannot trust that what you see on screen is actually what the numbers in your file represent unless you take this first step. The best way to do the monitor calibation is with an intrument, either a colorimeter or the more expnsive spectrophotometer, whcih can also be used to calibrate and profile your printer. Instruments and calibration software start around $175, and you can spend a lot more if you like.
Once the monitor is calibrated you may get better results as is without profiling the printer, or you may find a "canned" profile for the printer/paper combination you are using that gives acceptable results, but the most accurate color will be achieved if you make, or have made, a custom printer profile as well (typically $50 -$100 for a custom profile, I think).
If you are interested in learning more about color management, I strongly recommend gettting a copy of Real World Color Management. It's pretty easy to read and has down-to-earth recommendations without being full of scientific jargon.

Images seem to print much darker than they appear on screen?

I have been using iPhoto to create cards and then I later save them as .pdf files so I can take them to another mac connected to an Epson 1400 printer and print them. Prior to making the cards in iPhoto, I do basic levels and auto color adjustments in Photoshop. Some of the cards that I am printing seem to be so much darker than the way they appear on screen. I understand that there is a differene between what is presented on a display and the way something may print, but the difference is so drastic. Is this something to do with iPhoto?
Thanks.

Because every maker of computer, software and printer have a different definition of the various colors Apple and others got together to agree definitions that would work together. So if you assign a color space to an image - sRGB, say - then any software or hardware that respect the color space will be using the same meaning for 'green' or 'blue'.
In iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, check the box for Embed Color Sync Profile, and this will embed a profile on every pic you add from now on.
As to the one's already in, Old Toad has kindly created an Automator action that will add an sRGB profile to pics already in iPhoto. You can downlaod it from here.

Deployed project different than Edge project on screen

Back again :-)
I've been working today on taking the project I've been working on and changing most of the elements to percentages so the project also works well on a tablet.
I've got most parts "changed over" but now am seeing a different problem.
I'm working on the "main content" of the project; not touching any of the "symbols" that are in it. In fact, I have all the "symbols" that appear in the project "locked down".
Yet, when I upload the project to the web, I'm seeing a problem with the second symbol that plays in the banner (which I'm not touching at all). It looks as if there is an item on the timeline that is "blocking" part of the symbol from playing. You can see it happening here, about 5 seconds into the animation in the banner:
http://higherpowered.com/edge2/index.html
This is not showing on the Edge stage but is showing in the "Edge preview" in the browser (clicking command return on a mac, not the "published" part).
Since what I've been working on is on the "bottom" of the page and I have not touched the "symbols", I'm baffled as to what happened. Playing the "symbol" by itself, all is fine.
I can upload a zip file in a bit if anyone has the time to take a look that would be great but since the file shows fine in Edge, I'm at a loss as to what to do :-)
James

Have you already exported it and is it there where it messes up? If you are just clicking the button that makes the video full-screen in iMovie, that's your problem. For some reason, many people have movie glitches when they do that, like the video pausing for no reason, loss of sound, and other glitches. Just export it and it will most likely work.

InDesign CS6: Is it possible to create a pdf in which the version for printing is different from that on the screen?

hello,
Everything is in the title!
The idea is to make a pdf that I send to clients by email, very graphic with colored backgrounds but when printed, the background becomes white to save ink. Similarly to the change of color of the text.
For example, on the screen when I open a pdf I see white text on a blue background but the impression we see black text on white background.
thank you

hi Bob,
With a little delay & my apologies, anyway, after a little test, your solution works very well. thx!!
A more flexible solution was given to me on the French forum by Mr. JR Boulay
"We need to generate 2 PDF, one with color and one in black and white. Open the PDF with Acrobat b & w and in the layers palette ask "Import as Layer" color PDF.
Who will come on top. In the Layer Properties it only remains to define the PDF / color layer as "not printable."
It will just be careful that the color PDF has no white background because in PDF it means transparency and thus we see through ...
(Just use black backgrounds at 1% to fix this problem). "
