SAVING PSD  and FILE RESOLUTION QUESTION

I have built a business card file that my printer says does not have enough resolution.  When I check image size, it appears correct to me.  It states the original size is 2.25in x 3.75 in at 300 resolution.  However, as I look at the saved file, it shows .psd @ 66.7% (CMYK/8).  Is that my problem. Should the file be saved at 100% (CMYK/8)?  If so, how do I do that?  Thank you. Tom

What is the specific error that your printer is giving you? Even if the file was a terrible resolution, the printer should still print a terrible picture. So it is odd that it won't print at all.

  • Saving PSD and JPG

    Just lately I am having trouble saving PSD files as JPG's.  There are no layers, or I have flattened them.  When I choose Save As I am not given an option to save as a JPG.  I have the options to save as PSD, Cineon, PSB, RAW, PNG and TIFF.
    I believe this is a new problem in my workflow.  I don't it recall it happening before.
    I am using Windows XP and CS3

    John:
    Yup!  You hit the nail on the head.  My friend was fooling around on my computer and made changes to 16-bit.  He said I should always be working in 16 bit.  I have mixed feelings about this issue.
    Thanks, I can now move forward.

  • Time Machine and File Vault question

    I just completed a clean install of OS x mavericks and then used my time machine back up to restore the mac.
    The whole process was confusing for many reasons and I just want to get some clarification/verification on my next actions.
    When I enter time machine preferences and click select disk. It gives me two choices. One in the group Back Up Disks and One in available disks. The confusing I have is that it is the same external hd. So which should I pick if I want to keep my original time machine backups?
    The other question I have is, this whole journey started with me wanting to turn on file vault. I am using a late 2012 Mac Mini updated to Mavericks came with Mountain Lion.
    Should I be able to use both an encrypted time machine (external hd) and file vault?
    Thanks for the help.

    The difference is that do yo want to combine the backus you made before with the previous backups (group Back Up Disks) or start a whole new backup (available disks). Either option will retain the previous backups unless you overtly delete them. I would select that later to start a new set of backups.

  • Export resolution and camera resolution question

    I am thinking of buying a new camera- specifically one that will film video in widescreen as well as widescreen photo's. I have been looking at some that have a maximum video resolution of 848x480, which will come out fine.
    With iMovie, so far I have been using my wife's Casio camera which records video at 640x480 (4:3 ratio), and I have been cropping the video in iMovie and exporting as 640x360 widescreen. The next resolution up from 640x360 in iMovies export settings is 960x540.
    My question is, if my new camera has a video res of 848x480, when I export that in iMovie, will it have to be down-scaled to 640x360, or will there be an option to export at the same resolution (I don't think it will let me upscale it to 960x540)?
    Thanks.

    As long as you don't have "constrain" checked, it won't resample.

  • ID Mac, save as and file extension questions

    I'm converting a bunch of Quark files over to ID and have a few niggles that I need help with:
    1. Can ID be configured so that it doesn't save the .indd extension every time (when writing a PostScript file as well).
    2. Every time the Save/Save As dialog opens it's a small window & I have to drag the corner to enlarge, is there a way to make it stick?
    TIA,
    Geoff

    No, nor should you. This isn't OS9.
    Those file extension should be left alone.

  • IMovie music rights and file size questions

    1. I'm producing a movie of videos and still photos from a recent vacation strictly for personal family use, not commercial. Is there any violation at all of copyrights if I add songs or loops from a commercial artists music CD? Also, I'm assuming no rights problem with using in my home movie the Garage Band loops that came with my iLife'06.
    2. I'm wondering about the file size of my movie so far. It is 26 minutes long and 6.5 GB! I'm guessing I'll end up with about 40 minutes. What is the compression procedure so I can later record the movie to a typical 4.9 GB DVD disc? BTW I'm using an external LaCie burner to get around problems with the 2X DVD burner in my 2002 G4 Quicksilver.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Raymon

    The "personal use" issue (in the U.S. anyway) was resolved in the users favor when the first VHS recorders started shipping.
    There are also millions of files that are "royalty free" that be used in any fashion.
    Don't worry about the file size of your iMovie project. iDVD only uses the "time" (up to 2 hours) and will handle the compression automatically.

  • Workflow, capturing, and file sizes question

    I currently use FCE strictly for DV work, but need to upgrade to either FCE HD or FCP for use with HDV.
    My workflow now consists of capturing to a scratch disk, then archiving the captured DV file to an external HD for backup purposes and storing the original tape in a safe location.
    With FCE HD, can I similarly archive the captured HDV file prior to transcoding to AIC? Or, must I archive the much larger transcoded file? I would perfer to archive the smaller file, and then retranscode it if necessary to work on the project again at a later date (similarly to how I can now just copy the original captured DV file back and reopen the project).
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Tom,
    Thanks for the info. I know that FCE HD cannot EDIT HDV natively, but since the transcoding is not done in real time during capture, I wondered if the captured HDV data was stored in a temporary file until transcoded (and if the temporary file could be archived).
    Unless FCE HD can export to MPEG-2 with minimal loss, it sounds like I would need to archive the AIC file, or use FCP to edit native HDV and export.

  • Basic TCP and file descriptor question

    Hi all,
    I have DS 5.1 sp 1 and Solaris 8.
    how does the configurable "nsslapd-maxdescriptors" and "ulimit -n" works ?
    I assume that :
    1. nsslapd-maxdescriptors <= "ulimit -n".
    Current configuration is, nsslapd-maxdescriptors = 4096 and "ulimit -n" = 256. There are "currentconnections: 3212". These crazy connections is the "connection pool" from weblogic and others. I still able to browse using "ldapsearch" and similiar tool like "ldapbrowser".
    2. "tcp_conn_req_max_q" is not directly related to these parameters, since it describes concurrent connections. My "tcp_conn_req_max_q" = 128.
    "nsslapd-threadnumber", (=512 currently). How is this related to "nsslapd-maxdescriptors" and "tcp_conn_req_max_q" ? It this threadnumber per client connection perspective or Sun DS perspective.
    can some1 shed a light on this ? or give me some reference to read.
    thanks alot,

    got it !
    It's all in reference guide.... should have ransack SUN repository first....
    cheers

  • My copy of CS5 photoshop freezes when opening saved psds.

    My copy of CS5 photoshop freezes when opening saved psds and currently I cant find my cd key for it (incase I need to reinstall) what should I do?

    OS X 10.8.2
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    It was working 3 days ago fine and I have been using it since cs5 first came out. It will freeze on any psd now and Ive tried even with small psds under 20megabytes. I can create new psds but after saving them then attempting to reopen it will freeze.

  • Psd files are being saved as .14 file format and I cannot open them

    I have been creating a few large (100MB+) files in Adobe Photoshop CS4. I saved the files both as .psd and .jpg. When I restarted my computer the next day, I went to open the file and instead of seeing the normal Photoshop icon on the file it was just a blank page icon. After attempting to open it in CS4 it flashes an alert saying, "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. Then when I hover my cursor over the icon the File Type says "14 File"
    I then clicked the help button in CS4 to solve the problem only to be greeted with another error message of, "There was an error loading the Adobe Help Application, you may need to re-install the application and the help component" which would be all well and good if I were at home and had the original handy. Unfortunately I am out of town and unable to do so. I do not wish to buy another version of Photoshop but I need to work on these files. Please Help

    I'm not sure what happened. I would suspect something with your system, hopefully not malware.
    Run a Anti virus scan. Also do some disk maintenance, check disk, cleanup, and defrag.
    You can rename the files with the correct extensions and see if they open.
    Let's see. You don't have access to your discs, but you can download the installer:
    Download CS4 products
    Have your serial number ready and if CS4 was an upgrade, the qualifying serial number.
    You can these under the account you registered them under with Adobe.
    Usually here: https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html
    If you uninstall the old CS4, use the Cleaner tool to remove any remnants.
    Also checkmark "Remove Preferences" when uninstalling.
    Do this all using your admin account.

  • When round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

    when round tripping with photoshop cc, i get a saved psd file with my original raw,the problem is these are high file sizes and taking a lot of space,can i stop this?

    That's not the workflow that I use. I have my Lightroom preferences set to create TIF images when going to Photoshop. I keep the original raw file and the TIF image (usually reduced to an 8-bit image) and only export JPEG's when they are needed to send to a lab or to send to someone over the Internet. JPEG files are highly compressed. I only create them when they are needed, and they are discarded as soon as they have been used for their intended purpose. I keep the raw file and the Photoshop-created TIF in my library. This requires extra disk space. But I always have the highest quality files available.

  • Saved psd file as jpg by accident and closed photoshop.

    hi, I have saved my logo as a jpg file instead of psd and closed photoshop, now I do not have any layers to edit my project. Please help me if this is possible to fix.

    No, you only have what is in the JPEG. This is why you are forced to save a COPY when saving JPEG, so you still get a warning to save when you quit.
