What's the best way to send uncommon sized images for printing?

One of the things I need to do occasionally is print an uncommon sized image. For example, I may crop part of an image as a 2x3 to fit in an odd picture frame, such as a Chrstimas ornament. However, most places I print (e.g. CVS) only print common sizes. In the past I've used Elements to create a blank new image in a common size and pasted my crop into it (which is a little tricky because you have to make sure the new image and the crop have the same resolution), but I'd like to be able to do this directly in Lightroom. What would be the best way to do this?

1. Crop the image to the aspect ratio you want. If you wish to retain the cropped version for future use, make a Virtual Copy of it.
2. In the Print module set the page size to the size you will be ordering from the lab.
3. Make the cell dimensions the size you want the image to be. Set the margin sizes to position the image on the page as you wish.
4. Set Print to: JPEG File, Resolution to 300 ppi, check Sharpness, set JPEG Quality and the color space to sRGB.
5. Click on Print to File.

    what's the best way to charge my iphone 6 for the first time ?

    Just charge it to 100%.
    Use it on the charger when possible. Recharge when the battery is around 50% when possible. Avoid to let the battery go down below 20%.

  • What is the best way to make PSD into HTML for emails

    What is the best way to make PSDs into HTML for emails? Will the new feature in Dreamweaver work for emails as well? I am using Cheetah mail, but I need to be able to turn PSDs into HTML so I can use it in Cheetah mail.  I have a general idea of how to do this, but I'm stumped about where to begin.

    Use PShop for images only.  Use DW to create your tables and inline CSS styles.
    Many e-mail clients do not show images for security reasons.  So graphics heavy e-mails are not an optimal way to communicate with your mailing list.

  • What is the best way to send a file?

    i am writing a program and i want to transfer a file from a client class to a server class... what is the best way to do that?
    convert the file to bytes using the following
    File file=new File("jobs.xml");
               byte buffer[]=new byte[(int)file.length()];
               try {
                    BufferedInputStream input=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("jobs.xml"));
                    input.read(buffer,0,buffer.length);
                    input.close();
               } catch(Exception e) {//DIORTHOSE TA MSGS
                  System.out.println("reading jobs.xml->buffer: "+e.getMessage());
                  e.printStackTrace();
               firstServerRef.translationService(theCallbackObjectRef, buffer);for a reason i dont like that i am reading the file again to put it in the buffer and send the buffer... are my worries reasonable or not? is there any other better way to do that?

    Use a smaller buffer, repeatedly read and
    write, and print the exception's stack trace.
    What do you mean by reading again, by the way? I only
    see you reading the file once.hmm you mean use a smaller buffer and call the function with the smaller buffer many times in a while?
    the client and the server are not on a single machine and i want to call the function only once... could you clarify the thing that you said..
    yes you are correct that you see only one reading because i haven't pasted the rest of the code which is sth like...
    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("jobs.xml");
               ObjectOutputStream out = xstream.createObjectOutputStream(fw);
         //      out.writeObject(new Jobb("ougk2", "Walnes",null));
              for(int i=0;i<nameOfServices.length;i++){
                   Jobb translationJob=new Jobb();
                   //find the service !
                 NameComponent nc = new NameComponent(nameOfServices, " ");
    // Resolve the object reference in naming
    NameComponent path[] = {nc};
    //create a ref for the servant of the service
    ServiceOperations theRemoteObjRef = ServiceHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path));
    // JobOperations theRemoteObjRef = JobHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path));
    translationJob.setObjServerRef(theRemoteObjRef.toString());
    if(i==0){ //this is the first job
         translationJob.setForTranslation(wordForTranslation);
         firstServerRef=theRemoteObjRef;
         out.writeObject(translationJob);
         out.close();
         File file=new File("jobs.xml");
              byte buffer[]=new byte[(int)file.length()];
              try {
                   BufferedInputStream input=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("jobs.xml"));
                   input.read(buffer,0,buffer.length);
                   input.close();
              } catch(Exception e) {//DIORTHOSE TA MSGS
         System.out.println("reading jobs.xml->buffer: "+e.getMessage());
         e.printStackTrace();
              firstServerRef.translationService(theCallbackObjectRef, buffer);
    which i believe is bad....

  • What is the best way to send multiple pdf files to my ipad

    what is the best way or app to send multiple pdf files to my ipad, so that I can then combine them into one folder

    I have the app Readdle Docs. It allows you to move PDF files to your device and to move them around on your device. Might check it out. ( I think there's an iPad version of the app, but I have the iPhone version and it works, just not as pretty)
    THere's also Goodreader, but I don't have experience with it to know if it has folder abilities.

    I want that the recp. will not c the other address (i. e. each address should be a BCC)
    what is the best way to do it? sned 2000 emails or to send 20 emails with 1000 recp. ?
    is there any limitation on the number of recp in BCC?
    10x alot Yonatan

    is there any limitation on the number of recp in BCC?
    mail server you are using may be the limiting factor. However, most mail server handle 2000 recp. You will get smtp error 552 if the mail server cant handle 2000 recipients.

  • What's the best way to set up new imac for logic etc?

    In brief:
    Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
    The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
    Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
    Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
    Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
    Thanks.

    Adding to babowa, enable the system firewall in System Preferences>Security>Firewall tab. Click Advanced and check Stealth Mode.
    Lion is a pretty steady and secure operating system, and as there really aren't MANY Mac viruses, there ARE viruses out there still. OS X is pretty good about letting you know if you do accidently download a virus, and it will help you throw it away if it detects one, such as the MACDefender virus. OS X has built in security features such as sandboxing that doesn't allow viruses in as easily as a Windows PC. As for hackers, as long as you have the firewall enabled and a secure password (for your computer and email accounts), then you should be fine.
    It's the user that lets the virus in, not the computer (unless there's some untold serious vulnerability in OS X, which is highly unlikely). Keep your apps up to date, don't download pirated software, and be street smart on the internet. Don't download things or visit websites that you don't think are real. Safari includes a Phishing feature that automatically detects known phishing sites, protecting you from that big problem. Keep your passwords secure and you should be fine.
    There are antivirus solutions out there, one notable one available in the AppStore is Intego's VirusBarrier (free and plus versions), if you feel you still need one.
    I wouldn't worry about it. Windows users who switch to Mac are always asking these questions.
    Here's some good reading as well

  • What is the best way of creating admin-only parameters for a java iView?

    Hi,
    I would appreciate some advice from more experienced developers...
    The scenario is as follows: I have created an Org Chart maintenance application that generates and renders xml&xsl-based Org Charts. This is the maintenance iView.
    I am creating a second iView that points to each org chart(the 'Viewer' iView). This iView will be re-used many times, for different parts of our organisation. My problem is I want the portal administrator to be able to set the specific Org Chart that each instance of the 'viewer' iView points to. This needs to be editable as a configurable property.
    I imagine that this is accomplished through the use of properties, what is the best way to accomplish this?
    Many thanks,
    Mark Hockings

    I believe that you should be able to specify the 'personalization' property to be no-dialog. This doesn't allow users to be able to change the property, but can be changed when creating the iView definition
    I hope this helps

  • What is the best way to create a Scheduler app for ALL mobile devices?

    I've used indesign to make apps before, (more like interactive/digital publications) and now I'm trying to make a scheduling app. What's the best way for me to accomplish this since it's a little more intricate? Indesign + DPS?? Any other recommendations?

    Skipping InDesign & using HTML5/something such as Appcelerator's Titanium would be your best bet.
    If you're set on using DPS, however, you'll need to make multiple multi-folio apps, single issue apps aren't supported iPhone or Android. DPS folios are also not responsive, although in some cases renditions will scale to support different devices.

  • What's the best way to copy a big poster and print it out?

    I'm doing a big art project (around 5ft by 5ft), where I'm going to draw stuff out by hand, and would like to make a copy of that project by scanning it into the computer, or taking high-res photos of the project and compiling them together in the computer, and then printing the image out at that size, or bigger. So, I will have the original, 5x5ft, and a printed copy. 
    What's the best way of doing this?
    I hear that vector images are ideal for this, so is Illustrator recommended for this?
    I know it's a vector graphics program, but is there any way I can take a bitmap image from a scan or photo, and somehow turn it into a vector? If this is not possible, what recommendations would you have?
    I have Illustrator CS2.

    Take the photo in one shot by a camera with 24MP, e.g.
    http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d3x.htm
    This should be sufficient for a poster reproduction 5ft square
    as a raster image.
    For vectorizing one doesn't need high resolution (it's often
    recommended to blur the source image).
    Perspective and lens corrections can be applied by Photoshop,
    but the lighting should be well balanced.
    Barrel distortion by wide angle lens is really no problem.
    Plenty examples:
    All photos here were taken without tripod by a 170 Euro camera.
    http://www.fho-emden.de/~hoffmann/andalusien13032010.pdf
    Especially see p.20, a photo (with flash) of an exhibition photo,
    viewing direction not orthogonal to the object, then perspectively
    and lens-distortion corrected.
    (The PDF shows the photos heavily downsampled).

  • What is the best way to wipe my hard drive for a clean install?

    I've been having a lot of insane issues with my iMac like my Dock icons not staying, email messages showing in Mail but when I click on them I can't see any text, Spotlight finding emails and files that don't show on my hard drive, etc.
    I've decided that I just want to wipe the whole thing clean and start from scratch. What is the best way that I can do this to make sure that absolutely no data is left on the drive and I am totally starting from scratch?

    Hi David Hamilton1;
    I guess that all depends on how critical your data is in relation to how much time you want to spend doing the erasure. Those higher level erasure options can take a significant amount of time to complete. Personally I don't have anything on my Mac that I think is worth more time then a simple erasure even if that does leave it some what recoverable. To me it seems some people are going overboard on this issue.

  • What is the best way to send large, HD video files from the iPad?

    Hello,
    My department is looking to purchase between 50 and 150 new iPads. We hold conferences where participants take short, 3-minute videos of themselves in situations they have been trained for. The idea was that after they have taken the video, they could simply email these videos to themselves, negating the need to hook the device up to a computer, transfer the video over to a flash drive, and ensure that drive gets back to the right person.
    Now that I have the first one, I'm finding any video longer than 45s or so can't be sent via email because it's too large.
    Are you kidding?
    The file I was just able to send was 7.5MB. That's the biggest video I can send from this thing? Why even give us the ability to take HD video if we can't *do* anything with it?
    But, I digress.
    What I'm looking for is the best way to get video off the iPads and into the hands of our participants. Are there apps on the App Store which might convert whatever video we take to an emailable size? I thought about setting everyone up with Apple IDs and having them use iMessage since there is no limit on file size, but of course you must own an Apple device in order to do that, and it still doesn't solve getting it on their computers.
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • What is the best way to send auto mail with excel(generated by query) attachment?

    Hello,
    Need to generate first data from stored procedure and the save it to an excel file and then send mail with the same excel file.
    So am searching for the best way so that i could do all process in a single task with daily or monthly schedule.
    As per my understanding, we could it via SSIS and by sql server using
    sp_send_dbmail.
    But i have to generate excel file first by stored procedure and then end it by mail.
    So please suggest the best way to accomplish all task in a single task.
    Thanks
    Ajay 

    Hi Ajay,
    As shown in the blog mentioned by Syed, to delete records from the Excel file, you need to use Update OpenRowset command to update the corresponding rows to blank.
    Alternatively, you can also use Derived Column Transformation or Conditional Split Transformation after the OLE DB Source so that you can replace the target rows with NULL before exporting to Excel destination or just redirect the expected records to the
    Excel destination.
    Then, in the Control Flow, you can add a Send Mail Task to send the Excel file by setting it as the attachment. The following screenshot is for your reference:
