Source for Good Pro-Quality Custom Greeting Cards

hello all:
i'm interested to know if anyone has found a source in the US for good, reliable, pro-quality greeting cards that can be made from digital photo files. i've been getting a lot of inquiries from clients about posing for family portraits to be used as holiday greeting cards. this is a service i've yet to offer as part of my growing portrait biz.
importing selected picks into iPhoto and ordering through there seems like a reasonable workflow, however, the prices for iPhoto's cards are kinda high.
thanks,
scott

  • Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

    Using PSE9 with a Mac.  When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
    "Valid Size Not Available For This Creation".  (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working).  I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result.  Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix?  Thanks.

    I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
    That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
    Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
    Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
    Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
    Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
    Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
    Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
    You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
    If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
    Good luck.

  • Compressor settings for good font quality in H264?

    I've tried a lot but when I stream a HD movie with compressor, I got not a sharp and nice qualty of the text on my edit project. I stream in H264 11000kbps in 1280 x 720 (second pass streaming). When I see the text on the movie trailers on the Apple site, this is the quality I want! . They are also in H264 11000 kbps. So what's my problem?
    Does anyone knows how you can stream a HD movie with perfectly sharp and well outlined text in compressor?
    My master is in ProRes, and it's a very good quality..

    shippo,
    When you reference "50 fps", do you happen to know if that's fields per second or frames per second?  Depending on the answer to that, you may or may not need to adjust that.
    When it comes to file size, you have frame rate, frame size, compression type and data transfer rate affecting the final size.
    As Russ and darby have suggested, data transfer rate is the main thing to experiment with (since you're publishing for Vimeo, the other setting are pretty much locked in).
    I have found that when it comes to playing with the bit rate, a video with a 1280 by 720 frame size needs between 4,000 kilobits per second and 5,000 kilobits per second to maintian good image quality.  While you might get good results at a lower rate, high contrast areas in the picture are very, very, very likely to show loss of image quality.
    If you need to get your video up asap, start the upload late at night.  As long as your internet connection doesn't drop out (knock on wood), you file will be uploaded by the morning.
    Also, (for what it's worth) is there any place close by that has fast internet that you could use?  If you have access to a computer lab at a local community college, a 1GB file will probably upload in minutes rather than hours.

  • Anybody have a source for good quality iPhone 5 cables?

    The reviews i've seen on most iPhone cables around (even on the Apple site) are pretty bad.  Has anybody found a source who sells a good quality cable?
    The ones i've seen online so far apparently fall apart quickly and/or provide inconsisent connectivity...

    The new Apple cables for the iPhone have an authentication chip so third party suppliers have not come up with any quality cables yet - so I have bought several Apple cables until good ones come out - so far they are working well - I would check with www.monoprice.com periodically - they say that will produce a quality cable as soon as they can.

  • Can I exchange my Macbook Air for a Pro with the warranty card?

    I recently found out that My Macbook Air 13'' is the same price as the Macbook Pro with Retina Display, I currently have my warranty card and was wondering if I could exchange My current laptop for no extra charge

    You can return a Mac within 14 days of purchase.
    Then purchase  a new Mac or ask for an exchange if possible
    Best.

  • Is there a fix for MAC Pro with Dual video cards that randomly logs off and on?

    From my readings on the Internet this seems to be a know problem.  That even furthers my frustrations with the latest OS X upgrades.  So far on both my MACBOOK PRO and my MAC PRO it has been a major downgrade as both systems are no longer stable.  Enough with my complaints...
    Is there any plan to address this problem with the MAC PRO?  I can't believe 10.8.1 didn't fix it.  More can be read on it at:
    http://jvm-technology.blogspot.com/2012/08/mac-pro-users-experiencing-random-log .html
    Does anyone have work around to use dual screen monitors with the system?  I have two video cards, the article says to remove one.  Has this worked for anyone?  Can I use dual screens with the one video card.  Before I go messing around with these type of things I just want to be sure that this is a real fix.  For the price of the cards and the system I really can't believe apple has this issue in the first place and has not fixed it. 

    Self-hosted add-ons have to be fixed for every new version of Firefox. Two to 6 months for updating an add-on is ridiculous for a program which has a new version release every '''6 weeks'''. If that extension was hosted at the official Add-ons website, Mozilla would take take care of "bumping" that extension, as long as it keeps working, for every new version of Firefox, as the new version is released.
    See this thread from yesterday, I posted instructions about how to "bump" that extension for Firefox 7.<br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/884484
    You can also use this extension to "bump" an already installed extension for compatibility with the currently installed version of Firefox. <br />

  • How to install  driver for Intel Pro 1000 PCI Network-card

    Hello,
    I just bought the a.m. Intel Pro 1000 Network adapter, but I don't know at all how to install the driver for Solaris 10.
    The installation instructions delivered from Intel didn't help me at all, because I can't uncompress the INTCGigae.pkg and the INTCGigaE.tar.z files.
    I copied them to /tmp and folllowed Intel's Installlation Instructions.
    Please keep in mind I am new to Solaris 10, with no Linux/Unix experience, when helping me.
    Thanks in advance for help and assistance.

    Hi!
    And what happens if you install the driver from the Toshiba WLAN portal:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan
    I still dont know what you mean with Askey for Toshiba
    You should try to install the driver manually. Choose in device manager the WLAN card, right click and select Update Driver. Choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself and navigate to the folder where you have stored the downloaded driver.

  • Source for MacBook Pro sales figures?

    I am making the case for 27 new MacBook Pros. I need some new reports on how well they are selling. Does anyone have any links to sales reports?
    Thank you!

    Try a Google search, my friend. You can also obtain Apple shareholder reports from various business sites or by calling Apple's Investor Services. Plenty of stuff out there if you just do a little research.

  • Best program for greeting cards

    which is the best adobe program for layout or creating custom greeting cards? Something like publisher, where I can take the graphics created in photoshop place them in a card template or layout and give them to the printer to run off?

    Hard to say, really. The forums are set up assuming people know the answer to the question you asked. Perhaps the Design discussion forum might be a place to start. Although now you have the answer I gave above: InDesign. You might want to visit there and take a look around at what people are talking about.
    There was a discussion about how to do greeting cards in the last couple of days: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bbda6c9

  • Why do we configure Record resaon for goods movement?

    Hi,
    I have seen the settings for "Record reason for goods movement" in customizing for different movement types. it can be optional , suppressed or required.
    Can somebody please let me know what is the effect of this setting? what it does at the front end or rather user level, what transaction does it effect?
    Thanks
    Regards

    Hi,
    We define Record reason for goods movement to input reason for material rejection to vendor or material srapped etc.
    By means of displaying the mtl doc anyone get idea why this mtl is rejected.
    Regards,

  • Looking for good "Lower Third" plug ins for Final Cut

    Does anybody have any sources for good "Lower Third" plug-ins for Final Cut Studio?

    Why deny yourself the joy and pleasure to create your own,
    It is far easier and faster than it may sound. Use a combination of applications like Motion, FCP, AE, Photoshop etc.
    Use the tools don't make them use you. Manuals, the forums and a few selected tutorials can help you if you feel not confident with any of the software mentioned, but if you are passioned enough there's nothing more rewarding that learning while nurturing your creativity.
    Just thought you may want to consider that as an option,
