Transfer photo images to PC for printing

1. Tried saving image as jpeg and as png file (rather than PSD), but got errors when attaching to email as transfer media.
2. Tried to 'flatten the image' using PS editor, but most of the EDit function items are grey (inactive).
Does anyone have suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
Alternately, can anyone suggest a better approach to saving and transferring images from Photo Shop to a printable format?
Thanks

Hi,
Regarding the jpeg/png saving, what is the error message your getting when trying to transfer the media?
Also, could you make sure that the backgorund image is unlock while editing in PS>

BB Locks up when I transfer photo images to the Micro SD Card

Any one have any idea why my 8330 with 1GB micro SD card locks up when I transfer photo images to the card?
They are 1.25 MB JPG files. I tried transferring to the card directly and transferring to the card via Roxio. Roxio asked if I want to convert.... I agreed to convert the files, but the BB still locks up. I only had this BB for about 5 days and I have already found several thing I really don't like. This is the top of the list, second is streaming music won't use Stereo Bluetooth headphones and the Navigation App won't use headphones at all and the GPS App, doesn't work consistently in a vehicle (what's up with that, where else would I want to use it?).

I would put my money on the memory card being defective. The fact that you verified that the one file that the device
(regurgitated) was not corrupt. If you transferred it from the PC DIRECTLY to the media card as you say,
the Blackberry wasn't involved except as a port.
Try this; remove the media card put it on the reader and load the images. If the same this happens it's not related to the Blackberry as it isn't even in the equation.
I would try reformatting the card, and making sure the following options are set on your BB.
Go to OPTIONS _MEDIA CARD_ enable all options except for ENCRYPTION MODE make sure that is none.
Verify that the total space shown on the bottom of the screen reflects the amount of memory on the media card,
Allowing for formatting space) ex. On my 8gb card I shoe 7.6gb available.
If the problem reoccurs it would make sense it's the media card.
Can't have to much practice at field stripping your device right? (USAR 70 )

Converting Images to CMYK for Print Publication

When in my workflow should I be converting images to CMYK for print publication?
Currently, I shoot RAW photographs with my DSLR in Adobe RGB, import the images into Photoshop for manipulation and then convert the final, sized image to CMYK before placing it in my Indesign document. Before going to print, I convert my files to PDF using the [PDF/X-1a:2001] preset. I use a calibrated system with a profile set for my monitor.
Since many of my pictures have shades of green, I'm often disappointed with the conversion to CMYK because I lose saturation and brightness. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a better way of preserving the quality of colour in my images when going to a commercial printer?

To see in InDesign what color shifts will occur, use View=>Proof Colors.
I would also recommend View=>Overprint Preview.
Yes there are color shifts when converting RGB to CMYK, but those are due to the fact that the gamut of CMYK is significantly less than AdobeRGB or even sRGB. The same color shifts going to CMYK will occur whether you convert the image in Photoshop or in InDesign during PDF export or at the RIP.
Keeping the color in ICC color managed RGB has the advantage that last minute changes can be made as to what CMYK printing conditions are used, i.e. all CMYK is not the same. Furthermore, if you convert RGB to CMYK early in the workflow, you lose the ability to maintain the color gamut for display of the PDF as well as for printing to high fidelity color devices, i.e., offset or digital (especially inkjet) devices that have extra colorants such as light cyan, light magenta, orange, and/or green to dramatically expand the gamut. Once you lose the gamut in your imagery via conversion to CMYK, you can't go back.

Transfer edited photos to outside firms for printing

What Photoshop Elements 11 steps are necessary to enable the transfer of edited photo's to local Walgreen's for printing without using Facebook?

If you want to prepare the files for printing after editing, you could try the actions panel in Expert Mode. There is an action for 4 inch x 6 inch prints which will give your originals the maximum resolution. Then export the photos to a CD or thumb drive etc and take to your store or upload on-line.

Transfer photo images from laptop

Hi, I have just bought a 15-inch Powerbook and was wondering what is the easiest way to transfer photos taken on a shoot (and loaded/edited on the Powerbook) onto my G5 iMac. As a keen photographer, I will need to do this regularly. I want to be able to retain my edits without unnecessary duplication.
Cheers Chris.;

Greetings,
Well, the easiest way to do this, and have no duplication at all is to get a portable hard drive and store all your photos there, using the Option key start up for iPhoto.
You hold down the option key when you start iPhoto, and make/select the library on the portable drive, load all your photos on it, and then unmount it, bring it to your iMac plug it in, press option and start iPhoto on that machine, and select the library on the portable drive. This way it's the same library on both computers, and no duplication at all.
It also makes it easier to back up all your photos, you just back up the entire photos hard drive.
Or you could just send the photos over via a network, and erase them from the laptop after they are sent over.

Saving Images to DVD for printing

Hi all
I have began shooting RAW, converting RAW images and editing with ACR & PSE 4.
I do not have dedicated printer at this stage as I am still learning editing with PSE4.
Any images I wish to get printed I save to a DVD and take to local print shop for printing. Normally I save in JPEG format and get 6x4 prints.
However I have a few images I wish to get printed in a larger size, say 10x8 or 13x11.
My question relates to what is best format and size to save images to get optium ptinting quality for these siz prints? Pictures taken with a 8mp camera and I have the images saved in TIFF which are 22.9m in size. So resolution is not an issue.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Dennis

> 8mp camera and I have the images saved in TIFF which are 22.9m in size
That makes no sense.
> So resolution is not an issue.
Yes it is.
There are 2 issues here: file format and image size/resolution.
The best format depends upon what the print shop will accept. Often, JPEG is the only option and simply saving at the highest quality will give excellent results. If the option is available from the shop, give them a non-lossy format - TIFF is probably best.
With image size it's all down to pixels and looking at th epixel size of your image is what matters. The "resolution" [PPI value] is simply the ratio of pixels in the image to inches on paper. So long as you PPI is at least 200 and no more than, say, 600, you are OK. Print shops operate in 2 ways:
The expensive ones will take your image and you tell them how big you want to print and they do it.
The cheaper ones require the image be carefully prepared to be the right size - i.e. have the PPI set so that the size in inches is right.
In my experience, the cheaper ones, while requiring more work, often produce the best results.
If you are in the UK, email me [colin_walls AT yahoo DOT com] and I will direct you to an excellent mail-order printer, who is cheap, reliable and produces excellent results. [I have no business connection with them, except that I'm a happy customer.]

Placing images in Illustrator for print ready files

I'm designing a brochure in Illustrator that contains several logos and photos. (Yes, I know, Illustrator... I've read several forums and know that InDesign may be a better program for this, but I completely underbid this project and really need to stick with something I know for cost efficiency.)
I need to resize several images in Photoshop to place in Illustrator and I'm wondering if I should save them as CMYK jpegs, or tiffs, etc. I need the file to be the smallest it can be for upload to the printer. I need the basics on different file types and their pros and cons.
Also, when I'm sending out the proof to the customer, any tips on saving the pdf so the images aren't too blurry and the file is still sendable?
Please help!! Any other information or tips on how to prepare my file as a print ready would be great. I love to learn and really need some great resources.
Thanks!

How many pages are we talking about? The key to file efficiency is Placing images at their final size, so you are on the right track. Let me try to help...
"I need to resize several images in Photoshop to place in Illustrator and I'm wondering if I should save them as CMYK jpegs, or tiffs, etc. I need the file to be the smallest it can be for upload to the printer. I need the basics on different file types and their pros and cons."
-Do not save as JPG. The compression artifacts will show up in print. Just Place CMYK .tiffs or .psd's without sizing in Illustrator. Another thing to keep in mind is "Linking" the image files instead of "Embedding" them. You have a little more control saving your page files as EPS before creating the final PDF.
"Also, when I'm sending out the proof to the customer, any tips on saving the pdf so the images aren't too blurry and the file is still sendable?"
-There are a few different ways you can create a PDF viewable as a softproof. You could send the final as a Standard PDF using defaults. Don't forget to embed the fonts and leave color unchanged. What I do is Export > RGB TIF @ 150ppi > Open the .tiff in Photoshop and Save-As Photoshop PDF with a JPG compression of 8. You could do that for each page and then reassemble using Acrobat for one assembled, final PDF optimized.
"Please help!! Any other information or tips on how to prepare my file as a print ready would be great. I love to learn and really need some great resources."
-Get Adobe's Print Publishing Guide. It has enough information in it to help you wade through all of the disinformation out there. Get in touch with a couple of local print shops and have them take a look at your files. Good shops can spot problems and give you some handy tips. Not all shops will take the time, so finding one can be tricky.
Thanks!
-You're welcome. Let us know how it all shakes out.

Positioning image on page for printing in Elements 8

In Elements 6, in the "print" dialogue, you could uncheck "center image", and print an image anywhere you chose on the paper. I use
it because I print small decal images on A4 paper at the top, cut them off and can then reuse the (expensive) paper multiple times.
Where is this option in Elements 8? When I try to move the image by dragging in the preview, it moves "behind" the window, but the actual print position remains the same, and the image is not printed in full. Where can I set the position of the printed image on the page? Surely this useful feature hasn't been removed?
best regards,
Matt

Thanks Bob for your ideas. As Elo and Bryhy have mentioned, I find it very useful without leaving the Editor workspace to produce small test prints for tweaking colour, contrast, etc.before commiting to a final large print so it is important to maintain continuity. I have used PSE from Day 1, I have found it an excellent program and I was just completely dumbfounded to discover this facility had disappeared from PSE8. All they had to do was leave it there - the software was already written for all the previous versions. Elo speculates that removing it could be a ploy by Adobe to dumb down the program and thereby push the more advanced user towards the full Photoshop. On the other hand, Adobe do not seem to have dumbed down the editing capabilities which remain quite powerful so it could be they just did not realise how useful this print facility was to some users. Either way, I feel it is a reasonable expectation that upgrades should retain existing facilities or some equivalent alternative.
I continue to try to make contact with Adobe to see whether they feel able to restore the facility with an immediate upgrade or that it will be reinstated in the next version. I have submitted three cases, two simply referred me to the help manual and the thrid was deleted without reply. I then wrote to the Chief Executive of Adobe Systems Europe in February but so far no reply has been received so it does not look like I am going to get one. I now intend to write to the Cheif Exec in the US.

Photosmart and Photo imaging had on old printer did not come over on new computer.

Hi, I had a HP photosmart poto imaging on my old computer but it did not come over onto my new computer. I really like this program because when I was copying home pictures for my family it allowed me to choose size of film, size of image and several at one time. I have tried to find something compatible and so far no luck. I tried copying it from old to new and that didn't work. I am hoping that there is a new program with the same abilities. Print shop and Publisher does not do what I want even though Stables said it would. These programs allows me to bring it over to Works but when I do that and I want to ajust size of image for several or to reduce size of a larger picture it can become distorted.Any suggestions about getting a new software program. I think they program originally came over when I had a camera and was transfering the images from it.so help

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I see that you're looking to acquire some HP software that you had used previously on an older system. I would like to help. Do you recall which HP camera or printer model you had that would have came with this particular program? Also, what version of Windows are you working with? Please reply with these details and I'll be happy to assist. Thank you,

Sending Photos to Retail Stores for Printing?

I recently switched from my Droid Pro that I'd had for less than a year, to the new iPhone 4. My biggest concern with the difference between the two phones is that with my Droid Pro I could send my pics from my phone to a local store, CVS Pharmacy, to be printed. I don't have that option with the iPhone 4, not that I've been able to find anyway. Does anyone know of an app for the iPhone 4 that will let my send my phone pics for retail printing?

I don't have a smartphone. If you can get your photos to a computer (via mini-SD card or USB cable), then you can log on to the store's website and upload photos.

CSE3 - Making images in color for print

I am only used to one color printing. I'm using CSE3 and I'm supplying something in 2 colors. When the printers output, they will use certain color inks, and they told me I could use any 2 colors in my file.
1) How to I make the image a color? I have a .tif and I'm trying to colorize it, and ... nothing. The image is greyscale. I seem to only be able to colorize the border, not the image itself (which is just a black image).
2) Can I make an inserted pdf file a color?
The only thing I can seem to make a 2nd color is text.
Thank you.
Cyndy

PDF files are a "container format" -- they can contain a lot of different kinds of image data, and the challenge is extracting the data without damaging it. That is, extracting the data without lowering the quality.
PDF files can contain TIFFs. They can contain JPEGs. They can contain CCITT fax images. They can contain straight-up 1bpp bitmaps. And of course they can contain text and lines and all sorts of vector art.
If the PDF file is vector, ideally you use a vector tool to set its color. That would be Adobe Illustrator, most likely.
If the PDF file contains a raster image, you will want to extract the raster image without lowering its quality, potentially manipulate it in Photoshop, and then place it in InDesign.
In Acrobat Pro, Save As is not a good choice. That will save the entire PDF file, not just images, and it will rasterize any vector components. It will also change the resolution, which can potentially lose information, and often just give you a bigger file with the same effective resolution.
Best choice in Acrobat Pro is to go to Tools > Advanced Editing > Touchup Object Tool, then right-click and Edit Image. That'll open it in Photoshop. Then you can proceed to save it.
In order to tint an image in InDesign, you'll need to have a monochrome (photoshop: Image > Mode > Bitmap) or grayscale image saved in PSD, TIFF, BMP, or JPEG.
In short: tell us what produced the PDF file and what kind of file it is.

HT201250 When I back up photos, can I get to them easily? 'Restore' seems more involved the just simply grabbing a photo to send off for printing or post on Facebook, for example?

I'm fairly new at backing info up so please bare with me! Lol I just got a G Drive slim and started using time machine. It did its initial back up, can I delete pics off my computer now to free up space? Can I get to my photos easily? I had an external hard drive from office max or something (it failed and I lost a lot) when I plug that in I simply opened it up and looked through my photos. This time machine/g drive seems different...easier I hope. Flipping through 5000 pictures was pretty time consuming. How can I be sure they're all on the hard drive? Do I go through time machine to look at backed up items or click on the drive icon on my desktop? I hope this isn't too confusing...

Nobody can help? :(

How do I transfer photos from an iphone 4S to my PC?

Hi there,
My wife took a bunch of photos on her work iPhone 4S that I am struggling to transfer to my PC. Here are the things I have tried and failed:
using iTunes - iTunes apparently backed up the iPhone onto my hard drive, but I can't figure out where this is; there is no "Photo" option under the iPhone subheading in the list on the left hand side of the iTunes window; clicking the photos tab on the iPhone window in iTunes invites me to sync photos from itunes to the phone, but not from the phone to iTunes (there's my suggestion for the next iTunes upgrade!)
Using Windows Explorer - this method was recommended on numerous places I looked, but for me the iPhone never appears as an external drive on my PC... one place I looked at suggested that it may be necessary to turn off the passcode on the iPhone - apparently this is impossible because my wife's work IT people forbid it (I can see why, but where's the trust people?)
Using third party software... OK, I havent tried this... for three reasons:
Are you out of your mind? I need third-party software for an iPhone to do what every digital camera and mobile phone I have ever owned has let me do on a plug-and-play basis - where's the seamless design rationale behind that?;
I'd prefer not to pay for software to do what every digital camera and mobile phone I have ever owned has let me do for free; and
Are you out of your mind?
I'm obviously making this more difficult than it needs to be - I'm sure there is some simple 6 second solution to resolve this that I've not thought of, because all the other file types - music etc I can move from device to device via iTunes with no problem. It just seems to be photos I'm struggling with. Is there an iTunes setting I'm missing? Maybe I need to look harder to where all this stuff backs-up (any info on that would be great), but in my experience these kind of back-ups rarely happenas a file-for-file mirror, but usually as some impenetrable consolidated fle that I lack the expertise to unzip.
For the moment we are emailing these files off the phone, but please don't expect me to believe that this is Apple's master plan for ease of use!!
I hope that this provides all the relevant info to solve the problem. I am completely aware that there is probably some really easy solution to this; I'm new to iPhones, so don't spare my blushes by holding back on the obvious!
Cheers.

Big Bopper, thanks for your continued help. Unfortunately the answer to your question is no. The first time I had plugged an iPhone of any variety into my PC was yesterday, and the only thing that happened when I did this was that iTunes told me I had to enter the access code to the iPhone before I could continue with iTunes. I did this and it all worked fine - except that I can't get photos through iTunes.
(Sometimes I am asked this when I plug in my old-fashioned iPod Classic, and I usually cancel the invitation because I only need to organise my iPod through iTunes. But not for the iPhone.)
I am coming to the conclusion that iTunes just can't be used to manage photos the way it can manage other medie (e.g. songs). I'm not sure why photos are singled out - as an aside, music from my wife's iPhone library synched without me doing anything, and I was surprised to discover today that after re-synching my iPod I had all of my wife's music collection on my iPod, but not her photos. So transferring music isn't just easy, it's inevitable, but transferring photos is problematic at best (let's face it even if I could go through Windows Explorer to transfer photos, that still would be harder than the way iTunes deals with music). Which is odd given that a user is more likely to have copyright permission over their photos than over their music - you'd think it would be much harder to transfer songs, and pretty straight-forward to transfer photos!
Anyway, thanks for trying to help. I think in this case there is a speed bump in Apple's famous seamless user experience!
