Size of TIFF files for Full Bleed in InDesign?

I am doing a layout for a 8x10 landscape children's picture book. Every page is a simple full bleed of an image with reverse (white) text boxes. In my PS files, I have built in the 1/8" bleed and made them 8.25x10.25, however, when I place these into InDesign, they go beyond the cut box and look too big. I do not want to lose more than the allotted bleed.
If InDesign is only linking to my PS files, shouldn't I build in the bleed to the PS files OR does InDesign accommodate for the bleed? I have done 4 books using InDesign, and I always built in the bleed to the PS files, but this time I am using CS4 and am experiencing something different.
Thank you.

I am saving my PS files at 350 dpi. I would like a 1/8" bleed, so I have made them .25" larger than the 8x10 page will be after trimming.
I have been playing with these images in ID since I posted and it looks like if I set everything to zero except the bleed to 1/8" on every side, and only drag the loaded image to the end of the cut/bleed box, I get a perfect result.

Back-saving Adobe CC / CS6 InDesign files for use in Adobe InDesign CS3?

I am currently running Adobe CS3 on a Macintosh computer / OS. Is it possible to back-save Adobe CC / CS6 InDesign files for use in Adobe InDesign CS3?

@kc.k – You will need InDesign CS4 for that.
CS4 is the only version, that can export/import both IDML and INX exchange formats.
And you need an exported INX file (from InDesign CS4) that can open your exported IDML file from CS6, CC or CC-2014.
Since you are still running CS3 I'd suggest you downloading a 30days version of CS4 and do the conversion:
Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
Read the Note about downloading very well before trying !!

Save as a 16 bit TIFF file for Enlarging?

Question, a local photo developer told me that if I wanted to develop my photos at something like 16 x 20 or larger I should save my photos as a 16 bit TIFF file. Elements 4.0 does not seem to allow me to set the bits at 16, just 8. Is there any truth to what they are saying?
Also isn't the file size going to be massive when doing this. Most likely prohibiting an upload to their site?
I am shooting with a Nikon D50 in RAW format. Obvioulsy I have to open it in Elements from Camera Raw as an 8 bit photo to save it in either TIFF or JPEG format.
Any comments are appreciated.

Thank you for your comment.
When I save the 16 bit file in ACR it saves it as a .dng file. When I open the .dng file in Elements again the raw editor opens it as a 8 bit file automatically. This may be all well and good if I can have enlargements made with this file type but not good if what the developer is telling me is true. ???????

Size of Photoshop files for FC.

Greetings.
I am scanning some photos that I am going to use to make a slide show in FC. I will probably be doing a lot of panning and zoom-ins very close. These will all be either .psd or tiff files.
My thinking is that a PS image around 4000x2600 @ 72dpi (little over 30MB) should be fine.
Some people have said this is good and maybe even larger scan sizes, while others have said that is far to big.
My plan would be to use these in an HD timeline, 1080 or 720. Not sure if that matters.
Any thoughts on my photo size issue?
Thanks.
Jonathan

I believe FCP and motion have a limit of image size depending on your video card.
Most don;t like bigger then 2k; around 2000 pixels each way.
But personally I would scan as high as I can go, like really as high as I can optically go (none of that extra interpolation crap!).
Then resize in Photoshop to either HD size, or 2k size and do moves e.t.c on your images.
But seriously try to scan as optically big as you can, and resize and fix in Photoshop.

Placing DNG files for Mockup Design in Indesign

Hi there
I am a magazine designer where i get 400-500 photo selections from my photographer. We have finally upgraded to CS5 (yes yes took our time). I used to be able in CS2 Indesign place the DNG files for mockup of the pages, but now in CS5 it says: "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation." Is there a filter available to do this or do I need to convert all of the DNG files to jpg to use in the mockups?

The ability to place Camera Raw images directly into InDesign has been a much requested but exceptionally highly-debated feature request since Photoshop started support for Camera Raw. DNG is actually just a special, TIFF-like standardized version of a raw image format that was an attempt to provide a universal container for common features of the various camera vendors' “raw” formats plus plus a common method of storing the vast amount of the individual camera vendors' and model-dependent “secret sauce” used to decode the raw image data for creating more industry-standard TIFF, JPEG, etc. images.
In many respects, a raw image is the digital equivalent of analog photography's concept of a negative, albeit not reversed in tonalilty and/or color. A significant amount of processing is obtain a usable image from raw image data. When shooting in JPEG mode with a digital camera, this processing is done in-camera and includes significant noise reduction, sharpening, color adjustment, and brightness / contrast adjustments depending upon the cameras' capabilities. All that processing is postponed to Photoshop's Camera Raw feature (or the vendors' own host computer-resident conversion software) when you elect to get raw-only images out of your digital cameras. A very large number of professional and amateur photographers who shoot raw mode always process their own images to TIFF or JPEG before submitting for any editorial review or layout. Trying to directly place the DNG file's raw image data, even for mockups, is like trying to do mockups using the negatives in the old days. Exactly what default settings would you use to use these images and how meaningful would the visual representation of those default settings be?
I have been involved with InDesign ever since the first prereleases of InDesign 1.0 (not CS1) and I don't recall any support ever given for direct placement of DNG or any other raw image format. I don't even know of any third party InDesign plug-ins that ever did that! InDesign itself was never not distributed with the libraries and data used for such conversions.
However, there are many cameras that have a mode by which both a raw image and a camera-created JPEG file are output to the camera's memory card. Perhaps you had some directories of images that had these dual image files. (Also, there are indeed only a handful of very specialized programs that produce DNG files directly. Most professional camera manufacturers have elected to continue to output proprietary “secret sauce” image formats. To get DNG files from such file formats, you need to either run a batch process to convert to DNG or perhaps Adobe's own DNG converter that can convert entire directories of raw image files to DNG.)

How can I export layered TIFF files for viewing in Preview?

Being an architectural photographer I create a lot of layered files with many exposures with different lights on and daylight separately. I always save my layered files in a folder called Layered files in the project. I also save flattened 8 bit Tif's at full resolution for my client as a print file in a separate folder along with another folder for web and device optimized files. When my client opens some of my flattened files they tell me the only see one layer. When I open some of them in Preview I get the same result. I only see the last layer I put into my layered file. But when I open the same photo in Bridge I see the full flattened file as I saved it. What can I do about that?
Sherwood

Ah, yes. On the images that did what I described there was a layer mask in the channels drop down that showed only what was shown in the view. I trashed it and all was well.
Thanks for you help,

EPub support for full-bleed images

Hi,
I'm creating an ePub version of a Pages document, and I want to include the full-page image for the cover. Pages tells me that it can't support floating images, but in-line images need to respect the margins set for the rest of the document. I want the cover to extend at least to the margins, but it appears that Pages won't support that.
Has anyone got any work-arounds that will support a full image cover for an ePub export version of a Pages document?

Have you had a look at the supplied ePub template in Pages? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4168. You can download the template from this page
The template has a placeholder with an image spanning over the width of the page. It is using Layout breaks and Layout margins which are set in the Inspector palette > Layout tab > Layout

I am new in Oracle db admin. I request to all of you buddies to please help in the following query.
For a production database of about 100 GB in archivelog mode and 50 users simultaneously connecting to it. How
to calculate the memory parameters (SGA PARAMETERS ) and size of all users/rbs/temp tablespaces ? I mean to
say how to reverse enginner the sizes.
like - how set settings of following

Friend 191264
To tune the SGA parameters is something equivalent to knowledges for a complete course. Really the question is so wide to answer and overall for you that you are new to Oracle. Some people does not like to read documents but in this case you will have to do it.

Need help setting up file for program Ai CS5 Mac

Hello everyone, I am hoping you can help me with something. I am having a 20 page conference program printed through a 3rd party company.The printer sent me back the proof today and on almost every page my artwork is being chopped off.
This is the email sent with the proof today:
" I want you to look at these spreads and tell me if this is how you visualized your finished pages? A lot of your art is being cut off. The finished size is 11x17. You sent pages that were 9x12, so I used them at 100% on the 12x18 press sheet. You only need to provide a 1/8" bleed, not a 1/2". You also have bleeds on the centers of the spreads. Those should not have a bleed. Only the outside 3 edges should bleed.
I had trouble getting all of the art to line up."
Printer Info:
They print on 12/18 trimmed down to 11 x 17 (for full bleed)
Requested bleed: 1/8
They print out of Quark
I was told I can send them individual PDFs and they will paginate them (in order and add page numbers)
I created a file in Ai CS5 with 20 artboards (one for each page of the program) Now, the trim marks should be placed at 1 inch because they are trimming 1 inch from the top and 1 inch from the bottom. The bleed should be 1/8 so 0.125 on the 3 "outside" edges. Is this correct?
I primarily do lay-outs, the person responsible for this project bailed last minute so I am a bit stuck. If I am designing it as individual pages what are the exactly dimensions, bleed, and trim marks needed for each page to be set up correctly for the printer to paginate. Should I also add a .5 margin along the edges as a safe zone or is that not necessary because of the bleed?
Let me know if I didn't provide enough information. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

It is often just simpler to build your pages (or spreads) to the actual size of the press sheet.
I'll assume this is a saddle-stitched booklet.
The press sheets will be 12 x 18 inches.
It will be printed, then, as 11 x 17 printer spreads.
That means it will have a half inch (not a whole inch) between the trims and the press sheet edges on all four sides.
There will be three-eights inch between the bleed and the edges.
(This is crowding things a tad; typically one tries to allow at least a half-inch gripper margin.)
Anyway....
1. Setup the document with twenty 9x12 vertical Artboards, with zero spacing, in two columns. Zero Bleed.
(Often, depending on the nature of the content, I would choose to build such a thing as ten 12 x 18 Artboards, with content already arranged as printing spreads, thus eliminating the need for stripping. But in the following, you'll go ahead and make 20 separate Artboards, abutted in pairs, and treat these as two-page reader spreads, to make layout easy, and to accommodate artwork that may jump the gutter.)
2. Turn on Show Grid. Turn on Snap To Grid.
Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17 x 11 rectangle. This corresponds to your trim.
Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17.25 x 11.25 rectangle. This corresponds to your bleed.
Center align the two rectangles to each other, both horizontally and vertically.
3. Zoom in. White Pointer: Snap the upper left corner of the rectangles to the grid at .375 H and .375 V of the top left Artboard.
4. Convert the two rectangles to Guides. (View>Guides>Make)
5. Line Tool: Snapping to the grid, draw your own trim marks at each corner, outboard of the trim. Use .25 pt. stroke weight. Registration color.
6. Unlock Guides. (turn off View>Guides>Lock)
7. Black Pointer: Marquee select around all the trim marks and the two rectangluar Guides.
DoubleClick the Black Pointer. In the resulting Move dialog, enter a vertical movement of 12" and click copy.
Transform Again (Ctrl D) 8 times.
Now you have a set of trim guides, bleed guides, and trim marks on all 10 two-page reader spreads.
8. Create the content as if the pairs of Artboards are facing pages of reader spreads. The top pair are the front and back. The other pairs are sequentially-numbered reading speads. Set up this way, your artwork can jump the gutter when desired. You can put other printer's marks (sep names, etc.) in the bleed area if needed.
9. Save A Copy to PDF with Use Artboards checked. The resulting PDF will contain 9x12 vertical pages. Viewed as spreads in Acrobat, you can see that the pages align.
10. But when they are printed, they will be stripped into two-page printing spreads, ordered like so:

Saving large tiff files as jpeg

Hello, experts:
I scanned, as a tiff file, a full-centre spread of a large newpaper. This had to be scanned in eight sections, the pages were so big on my A4 scanner window. When I joined all the sections up in Photoshop CS5, the size of the file was huge (about 21 inches by about 19 inches) It is also digitally large (about 320 MB, since the resolution is 300 dpi). Because I want to keep the composite photo but don't want the file to be so digitally large, yet need the good resolution, I thought it would be a good idea to save it as a jpeg file, which would give me the dimensions I need but not be so digitally bulky as the original. On pressing the drop-down menu for Saving As, the jpeg option did not appear in the dialogue box. Why is this, and how may I save the file in jpeg format? With grateful thanks to any/all that can offer a helpful response,
True to form

Curt, I'm very appreciative of the help you have given so far. However, I did try to change the image to an 8-bit as you recommended, and, though it is possible to make this change, and thereby reduce the sheer amount of data in the photo, when I click to choose 8-bit, the picture goes all bright and weird. This is because when I click on 8-bit, a window also arises, called HDR toning. In this window are lots of sliders, and, try as I may, it does not seem to be possible to adjust anything to make the picture normal in appearance. If you have any useful comment on what to do to make the picture like it is before the change to 8-bit, I should be glad to hear it. Thanks in anticipation.

Help: How to crop (to PDF print) a full bleed document?

I have a document which is sized for full bleed printing. I would also like to make PDF prints of this document, but if I simply print, then everything will be off by a little. Is there a non-destructive way to 'crop' the document back to the paper size?

Do Save a copy, PDF, and in the Marks and Bleeds section, uncheck the printers marks, uncheck Use Document Bleed.
Unless I am not understanding...

How do I know the size of a file

Hi,
Would anybody please show me how to get the size of a file. for example, I create a file like this
FileInputStream FINPUT = new FileInputStream ("c:\\testing.prn");
I need to know the size of FINPUT before using it but I don't know how.
note: It is not neccessary to use FileInputStream. I can use any stream or file that allow me to check the size and read out the data from the file byte by byte.
Thanks a lot.
Hung

Thank you for your responding. But, how can I read out the data? I need to read the data from the file byte by byte.
Thanks
Hung.

CS2 Tiff files crashing my word processor

I recently upgraded my Photoshop 7 to Photoshop CS2. I've been saving 1 bit line art tiff files for years with Photoshop 7 and there has never been this issue. When I save 1 bit TIF files with CS2, it crashes my word processing software. I'm saving it with all the same settings I used to save them with from v7. Is there some setting I'm missing that can fix this problem? I'm saving my files with the following settings
1 bit 300 dpi
LZW compression
Pixel Order - Interleaved
Byte - IBM PC
With the exception of the 'pixel order' setting, all the other settings are exactly the same. v7 doesn't appear to have that pixel order selection. I have tried many different combinations of these selections without success. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
My word processor is Arbortext Epic Editor Version 4.1.

Hi Chris. Thanks for responding.
I'm not with the I.T. department here at work. The reason I now have CS2 is because the version 7 disc somehow sprouted legs and walked away. (eyeroll) My computer required a reformat and because I wanted Photoshop reinstalled, the I.T. department installed a valid CS2 disc that was sitting on their shelf.
That being said, I'm certain that the bug really lies with BOTH my word processor AND Photoshop CS2. That's why I was hoping someone here might be able to come up with a reason why one version of Photoshop WILL save a file that's usable while another version won't. If the newer version is saving some extra bit of information in the TIF file, what is it and can I possibly get rid of it somehow.
Alternatively, I would need to get my hands on Version 7 somehow. I shudder to upgrade to the lastest version of Photoshop since I worry the problem will still be an issue.
Or, if anyone knows a way to get a 1 bit TIF file out of Adobe Illustrator, that would work too (but I'm quite certain that's impossible)
