PS CS2 Printing (Sizing)
I have created a Photoshop image to print on a 8.5 x 11 inch canvas size (letter paper) and have scaled the document inside the canvas with 1/4 inches on all sides of the image. However shows that the image is over and above the allowable printable area for a letter size page. I have to resize the image for printing to get the entire image in the letter size page. Problem is, the image gets off center once resized for printing. Is there any set margins in photoshop or by the printer to require a border ? margins ? i am stumped as the image is within the 8.5x11" canvas size, but shows the image as larger (oustside the printable area) on the print preview....thinking there is some unwritten safety margins on the letter document i have missed.

Sizing And Printing
I am trying to print out some Top Trumps cards print them and cut them out. I started a new file using A4. I used a grid set to 1cm and from here I created a 1cm border down the left side and across the top, by using the line tool to draw them. I then drew lines down at every 6cm interval, 3 wide and every 9 cm interval 3 down. Using snap to guide I put in the card images each measuring 6cm by 9cm. When I had finished I printed them out using borderless printing. However, when I looked at them the borders seemed smaller and when I measured them they were only 0.8cm (8mm) instead of 1cm. So, I made allowances for this and put the sheet in my guilotine and cut. To my horror the cut was not square chopping the bottom of one card and the last card had a white stripe below it. Curious I measured the cards and frudtratingly they measured 2mm wider and 2 mm longer! How did the size change? Why was the 1cm border cut even though borderless printing was used and why was none of it square?

Sizing A Ratio 2:3 And Printing
ive search and i m all most sure that there is a thread somewhere here to answer this question but i cant find it - if you know please point me in the direction. Otherwise here it is.: Yesterday i went to my lokal photo/printing store asking them to print some 15x20 cm!! pictures with a white frame - probably !/2 cm in each side. Im shooting with a d20 canon(just purchased it) wich has a crop factor. Thats why he told me to go home and resize my pictures(make 2:3 ratio) to actually fit a 15x20 cm. But as i see it 15x20 isent a 2:3 ratio - but 15x22,5 is!! Thats why im confused about in wich size i should deliver my pictures for printing. And further more if it is me who should make room for the white frame.

Re-sizing Photos For Printing
I am changing the size of a bunch of photos from 72 ppi to 300 ppi (for printing in a book). When I change the resolution to 300 ppi, the width and height and file size shoot up of course. I want to keep the high quality - but should I untick the resampling box, or do it with the resampling box ticked - then reduce the size?

Sizing Images
I have been unable to print several resized images onto one single picture. I have been resizing an image by selecting an area, copying, creating a new blank image via NEW>CLIPBOARD and then pasting the image onto the blank canvas. Then going to IMAGE>IMAGE SIZE and changing to the required size. This works fine for printing one image but if I copy and paste a couple of images onto a new canvas the images are not the original size.

Save For Web Sizing
Save for Web has an option for Image Size, it's a tab on the right side of the Save for Web window (Photoshop CS). Well, I tried to resize the size in this window, saved the file, closed every open file and reopened that resized file that I had save with that resize option. Turns out that nothing was resized I tried it several time, still the same size, even double checked in image/image size. So what's going on here? I just discovered this option today and thought it would be useful to post images/screenshots to the internet... that is... if it works.

Image Sizing
CS4 Is not allowing me to size the images as I would like. I have PSD files that I need to size at- in this instance- to 11" Wide X 8.5" tall. CS4 will not let me do this. When I try to size the image to fit the size I need one dimension gets thrown off. As I do not want to distort the image, I try to crop. (Cutting part of the image that has to be sacrifised to fit the size needed.) That will not work either. CS4 will not allow that change. Once again what should be a simple task has become a miserable CS4 experience. Hours of reading instructions and watching videos is of no help. Sizing an image to a given set of measurments should not be so difficult (and so far impossible).

Is it possible to create a droplet that "recognize" the size and creates a tif with the same size? Or do I need to create a droplet for every different kind of size that I am going to use?

Pixelating Issue When Sizing Down...?
I have a .pdf with 4 signatures (John Hancock) that are HUGE! - I can highlight each signature individually and save each one as a separate .bmp - Opening the signature in photoshop (CS3) the picture looks great when it's big! I can print from photoshop and it looks marvelous on paper. - When I size it down to the size that I need (W:120 H:45 pxls) it looks like crap when it's printed (which is what the signatures are for). They are very pixelated. Is there anything I can do, to take a gorgeous large .bmp and turn it into a gorgeous small .bmp?

Weird Sizing Problems
I've been using photoshop at work to create covers for CDs, but we have two types of CD case, the normal kind, and on that's kind of a smaller version of a DVD case. When I created the cover for the normal CD cases I measured up the correct sizes and inputted them when I create the new file. The cover looked much bigger than actual size when it appeared on screen, making working on it much easier, but then when it printed, it printed at the correct size. When I came to make the cover for the second kind of case I did everything exactly the same as far as I can tell, but the cover doesn't look bigger on screen this time, it appears on screen at actual size, making working on it much harder. Then when it prints off, it still prints at the correct size but looks terribly blurred. I have no idea what has caused the two different projects to behave so differently. Any one have any ideas? Have I accidentally changed some setting somewhere?

Sizing Up A Jpeg That Has Artifacts For...
I have some really good resoloution images for a large 8x4ft poster project. but one of my clients larger images (an important one) is just a 1000 x 1000px image @ 72dpi that has some artifacts which needs to occupy a approximate 25 inch square on the final print. I can't get a better quality image than this from the client at this time as they don't have it. what techniques can I use in photoshop to increase the print size while improving the final printed image. In the past, I sized up the image to the size needed and set the dpi from 72 to 300dpi (using "bicubic smoother"), add some surface blur, add monochromatic, uniform noise @ 2% +/- (to help smooth out the artifacts). with this image now, there are a lot of flat shiny surfaces where the artifacts are more noticable, etc. what kind of techniques would you use for this kind of job? (apart form hitting the client xD)

Sizing Photo's In Photoshop To Use In...

I was advised to downsize each photo to 300x200 pixels which seems to fit the display in the flash file. Thought maybe I am doing something wrong in Photoshop when I am resizing each photo from original 3 or 4 mb photo down to the 300x200 pixel size. Any clues out there?

Group/Layer Auto-sizing
My problem: Because I deal with a lot of layers and groups I always strive to find some easier way to manage them and one of the things I always struggle with is getting everything in one group to stay a certain width or height, especially text. Desired Solution: I combine each section, such as all the elements for the left column, in its own group and label it accordingly (A life saver when trying to find and edit something ). Then when I add an element to a group I would like the predefined width restriction applied to it so that no content can extend outside that area even if I take my text tool and select the entire document. Is there any way to do this? Right now I'm stuck with using vibrant group backgrounds with the desired width or height as a guide. This isn't too bad a solution but can sometimes be time consuming, especially if there's a lot of content. If this is possible is there also some way to apply a padding to it?

Photo Printing - Not Printing To Border
i've tried both borderless and non, I've also realigned by cartridges and updated drivers and program. When I'm printing with Photoshop CS, didn't do it on 6.0, it's not printing properly at all. It's not printing to the edges of the paper (4x6) and the space it's leaving on all sides isn't even. If I choose borderless it's even worse and if I print a larger picture on 8.5 x 11 and pick center, it's not even close, I'm talking inches off.

Sizing In Photo Shop To Fit Photo Size!
My print lab that I go through, to get my customers prints done, requests that all prints be sized to the size that the photo will be printed as. Example. If I want to print a 4x6 the lab requests I size the photo in photoshop to a 4x6 @ level 10JPEG and 300 Resolution. Regardless all photos will be level 10jpeg and 300 res. But my draw back is, is when I've done that in the past the end product comes out pixelated and fuzzy looking. 1. Open photo in Photoshop 2.click "Image" in top tool bar 3. click "Image Size" 4.change "pixels" to "inches" for both lenght and width (here is where my memory begins to fade) 5. I beleive when I change the first inch increment the number of inches below it automatically switch to it's needed adjusments. 6. I change the resolution to desired 7. click "ok" 8. Save as etc.

Sizing, Multiple Images, Huge Images
Hi, I am starting a new business making art prints for artists. I have purchased this huge printer ... just got it. I've been studying photoshop for months using "classroom in a book" and am finding out that I've probably studied the wrong thing. I have three questions and thanks in advance for any of your expertise. 1. I successfully printed out a two foot by two foot photo I took of my husband with my 8.2 megapixel camera. Then, tried to print out another photo.... used the same photoshop settings, but the print was 6 inches by 6 inches...... I did notice that the second print was only 16. %... I wondered if that caused the difference in size? How do I set that to 100 % if that is what is needed? 2. I want to print out multiple small prints using this big paper and printer... I want to tile these various prints (all different) along the top making rows... I want them to be all different. I called Epson support and they said I could do that in photoshop. Do I use the browser? 3. I have a wide format scanner. It does up to 11 x 17 inches. If I have something larger to scan, let's say, I scan the bottom of the image and then scan the top of the image, how do I put them together?

Printing In CS4
I have just started using CS4, having upgraded from CS2. When I go to print in the print dialog box and go to the Printer Profiles box I am unable to see or select my paper profiles for my Epson 2200 and R300 printers. There is a large number of profiles, primarily various color spaces, but only one paper profile for my Epson 2200. There also isn't any arrow or other way to scroll through the display to see the missing paper profiles. All of the missing profiles are the standard paper profiles provided by Epson either with the printers or from their website. Do I need to reinstall these profiles in some way in CS4 or is there something else I should be doing to be able to access these profiles?

CS3 Printing
Tried to print a 10ft panoramic landscape with CS3 on an Epson 1290 with disastrous results. Only prints about 4ft then aborts. Worse still what it did manage to print was 5ft of the the panorama compressed into that 4ft, the width had been compressed by my assessment as much as 15/20%. Previously had no problems with CS2 so I have had to reinstall CS2 to effectively do all my printing (especially long landscapes). Even gone to the extent of reformatting computer and reinstalling everything from new. So Adobe can you please tell me what good is it or the point in releasing a program that you cannot trust to print? I don't trust Photoshop CS3 to do any of my printing anymore, not even A4 or A3 sizes.

Printing
I use photo shop for everything on our company, from designing websites and multimedia screens to art that will get printed. The company uses a SAVIN C3535 for our printed material, and it used to get us really good print quality...until now. When I print stuff directly from Photo shop it creates a weird "cutout" effect on the pictures (people and logos mostly) and creates like a black "noise" surrounding any black text in my art. Color text and shapes print out fine. Anything with tones looks bad. If I send the same file to print to different printer, it looks awesome! Obviously it is the printer...Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? i already contacted the printers' tech support, but they haven't been able to fix it (they keep blaming photo shop)

CS3 Printing @ 500% In...
This is with resample off, so the final product will be printed at 200ppi. As part of our (forensic) workflow, we print images at 500%. There are different ways of doing this, but some people in the office specify this in the Print Preview Pane, whereas I do it directly to the image in PS before going to print. After switching to CS3 from CS, it was noticed that 500% for a 1000ppi image (physically less than 36mm X 24mm at 1:1) was being limited to a bit less than 400%. An error box would pop up saying the value must be between 0.00% and XXX.XX%... and it would automatically select the maximum in the range. For a 1000ppi original image, the upper range would be around 370%. I tried it with a 2400 ppi image (5MB) and was limited to ~150%. Apparently this is not a specific number, but some sort of resolution-based maximum. The printer used for output doesn't appear to matter as we've tried a couple of different ones. Is there some sort of maximum percent of image size allowed for printing, based on resolution that can be selected in the Print Preview Pane?

Printing On OS X
I am transitioning from OS 9 to OS X and am running into some problems with printing. I am using a G4 mac DP, 1.25 Mhz. and an Epson Stylus Photo 820. and I'm running both systems on my G4. I had been using PS 7 with OS 9 and printing out pictures without any problems but I recently downloaded the Try out version of Adobe PS CS2 and decided to use it to print out some of the pictures on OS X. In the Print Preview the options were set to let the printer determine colours. When that was OK'd the next print page showed only the printer and the presets which said Standard. The problem I'm having is that the picture takes less than a minute to print and is of poor quaility compared to printing the same picture on OS 9 with PS 7 which takes maybe 2 or 3 minutes. The printer is printing at 300 dpi on OS 9 but i'm not sure what it is printing at on OS X. Not sure how to check that with OS X. Like I said earlier I'm not that familiar with OS X yet.

PPI Vs DPI And Printing
if I understand PPI and DPI correctly. PPI dtermines the actual reoslution of the picture and DPI really determines how much ink the printer will spray per inch as it prints out. So I guess I would like to know if anyone has suggestiosn to these three questions. 1. When scanning an image in, does DPI Actually refer to PPI? If so, what DPI/PPI shoudl I scan at. 2. In photoshop cs3 does the "Pixel Demenssions" section refer to PPI and the actual DPI section refer to the DPI setting for the printer? 3. What would be the best PPI and DPI settings for printing out the 3foot by 2foot poster?

Printing In Lab...
I have a document thats currently in CYMK color mode, and I'm having difficulty finding satisfactory colors. I was advised elsewhere to abandon CYMK. I therefore want to convert my image into to LAB color mode. I've read that converting from one color mode to another can cause layers to look funny, however I need to retain some of my layers... Do you guys typically have problems with this? In retrospect I should have STARTED in Lab... Seems that converting from CYMK to LAB wouldn't be as problematic as converting from LAB to CYMK... The key question is this: will my printer (Epson R800) even be able to print in LAB mode? I thought yes, or at least closely... because it has much more than CYMK to work with... it has these cartridges: #1 Blue UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054920 #2 Cyan UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054220 #3 Gloss Optimizer UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Cartridge T054020 #4 Magenta UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054320 #5 Matte Black UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054820 #6 Photo Black UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054120 #7 Red UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054720 #8 Yellow UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge Finally, in the print screen menu should I be "letting photoshop manage colors" or letting "printer manage colors"? Do you guys have any other tips on how to tweak printer/photoshop settings/preferences to maximize the accuracy of my colors? Would I possibly be better off just using RGB?

Printing DPI & PPI
I'm making a billboard ad for a friend using CS2. The dimensions are around 14'x6'. The printing company hasn't been much help for me. They usually print basic vector graphics and they don't worry much about distortion. The most they could tell me was that they print at 150 DPI and that I can make my image at half size and they'll blow it up.. I'm very worried about distortion as it is an elaborate pixel based graphic. However, I'm having much trouble working at this huge resolution. Major disk errors and massive loading times between tasks (even with 200gb free disk space and 4gb ram). So, I'm wondering is there any lower resolution I can work at without losing quality here? The printing company hasn't been very helpful here, and I'm having trouble avoiding distortion even in photoshop alone at this rediculous resolution. Thanks if you can offer any advice here, I just feel as if I'm making it harder for myself than it should be. ps I know how to work around the disk scratch errors,
