What size is my paper?

I'm making a greeting card on paper that is 7" x 10". However, in Page Setup (PSE3) I can't figure out which of the many paper sizes to choose, e.g., A4, B3, and so on. Where are those sizes defined? And which one is right for 7 x 10?
Thanks in advance.

Jack,
You would set up the size on the printer driver. From Editor go >File >Page
Setup >Printer >Properties >Paper Size, where you should find a choice of
Custom Size or User Defined or such. Click on it and enter the exact
measurements.

URGENT Help ! What size to chose 8.5x11(paper) also, rulers not changing

I have some graphics that are 10.5" long and 1.25 inches high....
When I go to keynote, I get a bit lost - - as with Powerpoint (uggg) you can set it up for paper viewing.
So I need to know at what size do I choose to make it like a piece of paper only in LANDSCAPE mode? = 11x8.5
Lastly, while I changed the rulers to INCHES in preferences, when I go to show rulers, the change won't take, even if I close the program, its still showing up in cm or pixels.
Thanks for the help!

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 size monitor is recommended?

My consulting Client creates a new edition of a regional newspaper every two weeks. Color is used for the 16" x 11.75" Front Page
He organizes or creates: articles, photos, ads, classified ads, the usual. He has a PC shop, and accepts stories and photos from one or more reporters.
He is planning to migrate gradually from Ventura Publisher (with Corel Draw & Photo) to the CS5 suite of products (InDesign, Photoshop, whatever else is useful) as he learns more. For this aspect I'm considering recommending a dual boot environment, as he currently runs XP in 32-bit mode. I prefer Windows 7 in 64-bit mode.
He sends the color separated final version with regisration marks to his print vendor as a PDF.
When open, the physical paper measures 23 wide x 16 tall.
I feel like a 30" display will give him the space he needs for his publication, photos, ads, text, tool palettes, and the other applications windows needed such as Word. He doesn't want to waste his restricted money, and feels that his workflow now fits in 21" or so.
If anyone out there is under regular deadline pressure and can make a recommendation (vendor, model, size), we would greatly appreciate some advice here. A memory recommendation would also be gratefully accepted. I'm thinking 8-12GB, though we have 3GB now.
Thanks and Aloha!

Thank you very much, Eric for your knowledgeable reply.
Now I have another question, this time about the 1920 x 1222 screen size. Will this wide screen form distort typefaces in my docs created on a 1280 x 1024 monitor?
Any comments on the Nvidia 460 or 480 card with the monitor you recommend?
Thanks

Subject: What size monitor is recommended?
For a limited budget, you get a fairly versatile and decent quality monitor with the Dell UltraSharp U2410. At 1920x1200 pixels, there is ample room for document windows and palettes, plus it has an IPS panel which is highly desirable for serious photo editing and other colour-critical work (such as soft-proofing – it's quite accurate once the monitor is properly calibrated and profiled with a hardware tool such as the X-Rite Eye-One Monitor 2 ).
To take into account when considering a 30" TFT is the need for a graphic card equipped with a dual-link DVI port (single-link DVI does not provide enough bandwidth for 2560x1600 px resolution at 60 Hz) which can add to the already considerable total cost. Personally, I would prefer a better but smaller monitor over a bigger but mediocre one. Do stay clear of anything equipped with a TN type panel by all means; these are the cheapest and boast very fast response times (something totally irrelevant for print design) but a are IMHO a real nuisance to look at over longer periods of time (or at all if you are accustomed to an IPS-TFT).

What do you mean a moderator

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.

What size external hard drive should I purchase

What size external hard drive should I purchase? I'm not tech savvy, so please speak slowly. I'm looking at OWC Mini Stack Classic to match my older Mac Mini. Do I need 500 GB, 1 TB or more? Plus, I have to add memory to upgrade to Snow Leopard. How much memory do I need and should I have an expert install it ?
Mac OSX version 10.5.8
Mac mini 3.1
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
1 Processor
2 Cores
L2 Cache 3MB
Memory 2GB
BUS Speed 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version MM3.1.0081.B06
SMC version 1.35f0
Hard Drive
Format MAC OS Extended
Capacity 297.77 GB
Available 238.69 GB
Used 59.08 GB on disk

Good points raised by all.
In my mini configs - both older and newer flatter model - I have kept their ministack external drive on top of the mini; with 3 or 4 little rubber feet added to the mini's base to give it a bit more elevation from the surface they are sitting on and a bit better chance to breathe. I'm not impressed by the very small air intakes on the bottom and the hot air that often comes out the back or how warm the case feels. Especially in the heat of summer.
I do turn the ministacks on/off as needed (primarily for backups once a week) as they're not entirely quiet and sometimes seem to have a low hum vibration. Nothing crazy. I just like it as dead quiet as possible sometimes. Plus the fan does not turn off even if the mini and ministack drive have shut down. The newer wide & slim model does seem a bit quieter than the older model.
Check through system profiler to see if your system has 2x1GB or 1x2GB. Most likely it is 2x1GB and you'd need to remove both to double your ram. On the off chance it has a free slot; a single 2GB stick would get you to 4GB. Check on the cost difference between the 2x2GB kit and a 2x4GB kit. I have an older core duo mini that functions fine with 2x2GB of RAM and 10.6.8. But, if you plan to continue to use the mini for several more years as a primary machine including upgrading the OS to Yosemite; it might not be a bad idea to just max it to 2x4 8GB. Yosemite really likes RAM to maximize performance.
Along the lines of keeping the same mini and doing upgrades. The biggest speed improvements are made by replacing the original internal hard drive with a flash drive. Of course this is a more technical upgrade, you really need to take the mini apart more and you have to weigh the cost of the upgrades and possibly paying somebody to do them; vs the cost of a newer system which would have a significantly faster processor and other improvements.

To install Windows 8 OS on a new iMac using Boot Camp, what size "partition" should I allocate for Windows on a system with 3TB Fusion drive?

I am trying to install Windows on a new iMac w/3TB Fusion drive. The system crashed on my first attempt but appears to have partitioned the drive correctly before crashing??? So, what size partition does Windows 8 need to operate effectively? Is "more" better??? or just over-kill? And, has anyone installed Winodow 8 on an iMac...and how did it work? Would apps like "Parallel Desktop" or "VM Ware Fusion" be a good idea and troubleless?
I will try again but not too confident that it may get worse before it gets better.
Regards....?
P.S. I configured this iMac with the i7 processor 3.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3,9GHz. When I select "About this Mac" it diplays my i7 processor as a 3.4GHz instead. Do you think they ran out of the i7 3.5GHz and shoved a i5 3.4Ghz in the iMac to meet deliver schedule??? I there a way to check the real-time speed of my processor??.

It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

What size hard drive will fit into a 2010 Mac mini?

Hello all,
I am planning to buy a new Mac mini. However I intend to upgrade the hard drive, i.e. buy a 320GB Mac Mini then remove the hard drive and replace it with a better one.
I have my eyes on two Western Digital hard drives:
+ WD Scorpio Black 750 GB SATA Hard Drive (WD7500BPKT)
specs: http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=905&language=1
+ WD Scorpio Blue 1 TB SATA Hard Drive (WD10TPVT)
specs: http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=685&language=1
Here's the problem. I figured that being both SATA 2.5" drives, they would have the same dimensions. It's not the case:
+ my preferred choice, the Scorpio Black (with faster 7200rpm) has a height of 9.5mm
+ the Scorpio blue (1TB but 5200rpm, slower than the default drive) has a height of 12.5mm
So I wonder, which of them would fit in the mini? Both of them? Afer hours looking for it, I couldn't find the exact specs and dimensions of the default drive in the Mac mini.
Questions this arises: if the Scorpio Blue fits in, then will the Black be loose because it's thinner?
I just went to my local Apple retail store, the flagship Opera store in Paris. I asked two Geniuses there and neither of them was able to answer my question, including the so-called hardware expert (duh!). They just told me "good question", and advised me to be careful with dimensions indeed because there is so little room in the mini...
Has any of you guys any clue on the subject?
+ any idea of the size/specs of the default drive?
+ any idea of what size drive would fit? Does the new disk have to be the exact same size or not?
FYI I checked the specs of the mini they had on display, and the disk reference is TOSHIBA MK3255GSXF. It looks like a specific ref number for these Apple drives.
Thanks!

6 MONTHS LATER/UPDATE.
I got the the Seagate Momentus® XT 6Gb/s 750GB Solid State Hybrid Hard Drive. Was able to install it myself in the Mac mini; it works great! (now).
My original 350GB was near full and taking almost 5-minutes to load.
Now my computer boots up in under one minute. Big difference!
Apps also snap open quickly, all functions fast and with 8GB of Ram using my computer is fun again.
Note: Initially I just made a clone of my old HD to the Seagate before taking my old HD out. This did make a bootable volume but funky and eventually the mouse clicks took 4-5 minutes to work!?
So I wiped the Seagate clean, did a new/fresh install of my Mac OS onto it and then used the Apple Migration Assistant app to get all my apps and data over - This worked and no funky stuff developed.
It's the best change to my computer in years. Feels great...and besides the features of the fusion-sytle hybrid drive (SSD & regular) I got 450GB of new, extra space...now I can put my work aside for awhile and try out one of these 12GB games!. Rock on.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: patience, patience, patience and instructional video at OWC; yet the insides were different, an extra plastic 'cage' around the HD. Just be careful & alert.

What size external hard drive do i need to backup my macbook pro?

I know I need to backup my computer, especially since I have been experiencing some problems with it and will need to take it into a store to get looked at, but I do not know what size external hard drive I need to back my computer on.

Drives are so low in cost today, go for something that will meet your needs for a while...if you are going to use Time Machine, get a drive large enough that you can have a partition double the size of the internal drive for TM backups, and a partition you can use for more storage and work space.
A decent drive like the Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drive OWC sells goes for less than $200 (US) now. Has a fast interface and is easy to setup.

What size external hard drive do i need for Time Machine

What size external hard drive should I get to be my Time Machine backup? My iMac is 1TB. (also, I have MBP that is 250gb and will need one for it as well)
Thank you.

It is better to buy an external drive that has 3 times the storage capacity
as of the computer's internal HD.
Best.

What size SSD? Swapping Optical Drive for gen. storage.

I'm planning on buying a smaller SSD and was looking for suggestions on the best size to buy. I have a 13" Late 2011 Macbook Pro, i5. 8gb RAM. 500gb HDD.
What I'm doing is replacing my 500gb HDD and moving that to my optical bay just for general storage. I'm going to set up my new SSD as the boot drive. I want to boost my performance for as little money as possible. I know that I can put 16gb RAM in and get significant improvement, but really want to get rid of the HDD as the boot drive. I'm leaning toward getting either the 44gb or 60gb Mercury Electra 6G SSD.
Any suggestions on what size would be best for what I want or any other suggestions are welcome.

I suggest that you get at least a 240 GB SSD. SATA3, of course!
Larger SSDs are generally much faster, and the price is now dropping (to the point that I have just purchased an 1Tb Crucial M500 SSD for less than 400 €). The price difference between a 64 GB SSD and a 240 GB SSD is now minimal, and you will enjoy more space!
Two years ago, as soon as I purchased my late-2011 MBP, I immediately did the same, moving the original 750Gb HD to the optical bay, and installing a 240Gb Vertex-2 SSD in the main bay as system disk.
The space was just enough, as I have Bootcamp and Windows 7, too, so I divided it half-and-half, and a 128Gb storage is just barely enough for either OSX and Wndows-7 64 bits Pro...
You could survive with a 128 GB SSD if you do not need Bootcamp. Indeed, I always recommend to install Bootcamp and Windows 7 to all Mac owners, so you get the best of the two worlds. I love OSX, but for certain tasks Windows is still vastly superior (using Autocad, for example)...
Curiously, instead, I prefer OSX for Office...

What size should my movies be to not get cut off?

I am making a tutorial DVD. I used Snapz Pro to record a bunch of screen capture movies and then edited them together in FCP and exported them as 1024x768 animation movies and they look great. Now I want to burn them to DVD. When I take them as they are and put them on a DVD the top and bottom of the screen get cut off. Can I just resize the movies in QT pro to a different size so they won't cut off? If so what size? Is there a better way?

Scott,
A mix of this QuickTime Pro: How to Make Picture-in-Picture at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42633 and the following procedure I put together a couple of years ago to use the small movies produced by still digital cameras in iMovie/iDVD:
1. Create a 640 x 480 black mask with a slightly lighter black 320 x 240 center in Photoshop. Save it as a JPG file.
2. Open your DiMage X movie in QuickTime Pro. Open the saved mask in another QuickTime Pro player (at 15 fps).
3. Select the mask clip and edit->select all and then edit->copy
4. Select the DiMage X clip and then edit -> add scaled the mask
5. Next, select movie -> get movie properties
6. Select video 2 on the left box and layers on the right box. Set the layers to 1 (that moves the mask to the back).
7. Select video one on the left box and size on the right box. Click on adjust. Red hack marks appear around the video. Click on the picture (not the mark) and center the video on the lightened 320 x 240 box.
8. The video may not completely cover the lighter box, but the hack marks should line up. When you view the movie, if you used a "slightly lighter" black for the center area, you won't a notice a lighter area when played in iDVD.
9. Export it as a DV stream. Bring it into iDVD.
will give you an idea on how to proceed. Obviously, you will need to come up with your own mask and cut-out size - 640x480 ISN'T what YOU want.
