What size file is needed to print A1 size posters?

I want to create a poster that can be printed in A1 size. I know I need to use a good size digital photo to print this big but what size file do I create in Photoshop Elements 8 so that I can have someone print the image? Or do I need to use a different program to create the poster itself? Thanks.

Hi,
You can create a file of dimensions: 23/33 inches. This is the approx size of a A1 paper. You can very well create it in PSE.
Cheers.

What app do i need to print text messages

I'm trying to print some text messages from a certain person for court. I need it to show as much detail as possible. who its from, date, time...
How do I do this? What app do i need on my phone or my computer?

Aren't they already in your email? If so they can be accessed on the computer without having to mail anything to yourself.
If they are on an iDevice, then you need access to an AirPrint enabled wireless printer.

What project files are needed for development?

Hello,
I have a new WebHelp project that is nearing completion. Our
Web developers are anxious to build the help into their
application, but I'm not sure what files they need or do not need?
Do I just turn over all files to them, or some subset?
Thanks!
Charlie

Hi Charlie
Assuming you are using RoboHelp HTML properly with all files
located on your C drive, you should notice that inside your project
folder are some sub folders. One should be named
!SSL!. Inside THAT folder should be a folder named
WebHelp. You need to supply *ALL* the files (and folders)
that you find inside this folder.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

I need help printing custom size w/ In Design

I am new to InDesign.
I have both and Epson R300 and an Epson 1400.
I cannot create custom sizes to print with InDesign. I have a custom sized page (8.75W x 5.625H).
I want to set that size up in my print options but the custom print capability is grayed out on both my R300 and 1400. I'm guessing it's a driver issue?
In the past I've only ever printed on standard sizes but I thought for sure my 1400 would let me print irregular sizes.
Is this a printer issue or am I missing something with InDesign? Is there anything I can do to print this custom size with my printers?
Thanks.

I've discovered that if I use Format for > Any Printer in the Page Setup dialog, the Custom Page created isn't grayed out, and I can access it from the Paper Size selection.
But it doesn't seem to change the actual page area printed to, to the required .25 on top, even though I created a Custom Page of .25,.25,.25, .46 for my HP 960c printer, which claims an actual print area as defined by my custom size.
It seems to continue using a predefined .25L, .5T, .25R, .5B for the Letter Size paper selection.
One piece to the puzzle, responding a year or so late?

What cables do I need to print wirelessly if i don't have an Airport Basestation?

I recently bought an Epson Stylus NX230 with wireless capabilities but I am unsure about how to enable AirPrint feature because I don't understand the terminology in the manuals. Firstly, I don't know how to join my printer to my network (or if I actually need to do this) or if I am mising a cable somewhere...I don't have the Airport BaseStation, so I am wondering if I have to buy this or if I can get a cable that supports my quest for wireless printing!
I can print when the printer is attached using a USB, I have wifi enabled on my MacBook etc etc...! I understand how to add a printer via System preferences, so I really think it's a cabling issue!
Please explain in non-tech speak if you have an answer for me

Hi,
You don't need any special cables to connect. You can use either VGA, DVI or HDMI cables they will work absolutely fine. There's no difference between an American and a British MacBook

Need help printing tiff files

I have written some code that prints any file that can be opened using JAI and the ImageIO Tools. The code works good for me but I have some special cases where I am having some difficulty. Some files I need to print are TIFF files with many pages. Some are compressed using Fax Group 4 encoding and others are compressed using OLD jpeg-in-tiff. I can read and print the files just fine, but it takes about 2 seconds to print each page. Also the spooling data for 88 pages is 900 MB in size. Printing the same files using IrfanView takes <1 seconds and the spool file is much smaller (equivalent to the size of the uncompressed tiff) The speed and size issues are problems for me because I am working on a print web service. My code to render each page is below. So far I have tried rendering hints and such to increase speed, but I think the problem is that when I read the image it takes up a lot of space in memory.
Here is the overall requirements for what I am doing: A use will request that the server print a set of files (mixed image formats, restricted to TIFF, JPEG, and GIF) be printed to specific printer as a single print job. They can specify copies and collation only. The service will open each file in order and send its data to the printer. I have created a custom class that implements the Printable interface to handle the multiple files. The class below is created for each file and handles the printing of the image file.
I am using JDK 1.4.2 and WebSphere. I am stuck with these options b/c I have to use some IBM API's (IBM Content Manager 8.3) that are not compatible with 1.5 or higher.
Is there any way to speed up my code. Possibly load the image differently?

I found a couple of issues. One was related to code the other to IBM. AS for the code I found an article about drawing scaled images here: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/04/03/perils-of-image-getscaledinstance.html which was quite useful. My updated code is below. The second issues is that the JRE I am using is the IBM Websphere 5.1 JRE which pretty much sicks. I tested using a Sun statndard 1.4.2 JRE and the print was 5 times faster. Now I am looking to find a way around that issue, but it is not a questions for this form.

Printing poster sizes in Keynote--HELP

Hi
My clients are creating posters in keynote at 50% of the final poster size. I need to print them at 200% but I can not get them to print that way. The paper comes out the right size but the poster is only at the page size-- such as a 22 x 22 inch poster printed out at 44x 44 inches -- paper is 44x44 but image is only 22x22.

First off, the "crop" function doesn't work the way it does in CS2. The "8 x 10" option is a "ratio", not inches by inches. So it gives you a crop that "can" conform to a 4 x 5 or 8 x 10 ratio print. When you go in to the print dialogue, you are probably making the right selections, but here's what I had to do to get an 8 x 10 inch print on U.S. Letter which is 8.5 x 11. I chose the paper size, then I chose "fit entire image", and "portrait". Then, since the image I want would be .5 inches less than the total width of the page, I had to divide that in half (.25 in) and move the margins slider to that setting. Then I got an 8 x 10 inch print. Using A4 the setting would be slightly different.
I know this is very counter intuitive, and I surely hope they will fix this in the next version of Aperture. But that's how you do it.

I am using CS6 on a 64 bit PC. When I try to print A4 size layered psd files the program crashes. What can I do to rectify this?

Spoken to IT support who inform me its because files are on network, however they are on my desktop and program is installed on my PC not a network.

Other sizes print. Bizarre.

Save as window size keeps going back to the default size. I need it to stay the size I set it at so I can read the end of the file name.

.When I save a file in Photoshop, I save for web and devices. It gives you the first window which I always just hit enter. Then it gives you a second window to name the file and where to put it. The problem I’m having is that’s it’s not remembering I want the window bigger and I can’t see the whole name of the file. I need to see the end of the file name so I know what to save the next file as. I can scroll or make the window bigger again but that is too time consuming when I’m trying to do hundreds of them a day.
I'm using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac running Yosemite.

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that because this is boilerplate text, not all points may apply to any given, specific poster.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Can't choose what part of image to print when printing actual size.

I have a pdf file that needs to be printed out to actual size, since the image is a temlate for a part that I need to cut out. Since the actual size is bigger than the paper size, it shows a purple box in the preview box, indicating what part of the document it's going to print. The first time I printed the image, it let me slide the box or the slider below, left to right to select what part of the document on wanted on the paper. But, now it's just locked in place. I'm not sure what changed. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Adobe Reader XI. Printer is a Canon MP495.

Francine, thank you so much for the tips. It took me over two months but I finally got around to trying to take care of this.
I tried your suggestions in order. Steps 1-3 did not fix the problem, but reinstalling from Pacifist did (thank goodness!). Wish I had tried that from the get-go.
Thanks again to everyone for all the suggestions.
There are a couple of things to try:
1. If you haven't done so lately, try Disk Utility
and Repair Permissions. Won't hurt, it's quick and
easy, and there is a remote possibility that it will
help. It actually does occasionally fix something
strange like this.
2. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and
download the COMBO 10.4.8 updater (it is huge, like
148MBs) and run it, then Repair Permissions again.
3. Restart and hold down the Shift key when you hear
the startup chime. This will force the computer to do
a Safe boot. When you see the splash screen saying
"Safe Mode" release the Shift key. The boot will take
longer than normal as the system repairs the disk,
empties font caches, and disables startup items. Not
sure if Image Capture will run correctly with some
Apple startup items disabled, but you can try it.
Restart normally afterwards.
4. You can download Pacifist here:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
It will extract things from your Install disk so you
can install only what you need, in your case Image
Capture.
My Image Capture has never had a problem, so I'm
afraid all I can recommend is these general
approaches. Hope one of them helps.
