Beginner to printing needs help on exporting files

Hello

I've been shooting photography years but have never really printed one of my photos. I am now interested in some of my images print on canvas using Costco. I have so many questions, it's not even funny. I would appreciate help in the understanding of the whole process.

Here is some background info:

Camera used: Sony a700 (12 MP)

Software used: Adobe Lightroom 3.x

Here are my questions:

(1) in view of my camera, what realistic size paper print to? I would like to print some 24 x 36 canvas (although I think that the closest Costco size is 20 x 30). It's all just too big?

(2) am I supposed to resize the image, and if so, should I put it in the same size as the paper I want to print to?

(3) should I leave "do not expand" button unchecked and what ppp parameters?

(4) should I use the option to output sharpening, and if so, what options for canvas print?

(5) is not that I know how it works, but does not offer Lightroom proofing. How can I tell how far the impression will be how it appears on my calibrated monitor?

I'm more confused by the "Sizing of the Image" section in the Lightroom export function. I've seen suggestions do not resize and others said the opposite. Situations in which you would like to resize? I tried three different situations of resizing:

(1) no resizing

(2) resizing to the exact dimensions of the canvas that I want to print (20 "x 30") and clicking on the button "do not expand.

(3) resizing to the exact dimensions of the canvas that I want to print (20 "x 30") with "do not expand the ' unchecked

The two first exported JPEG were identical, but the third was much larger (20MB file vs 7.3 MB for the other two). How would be treated two different file sizes when printing?

A lot of questions, and some would require better Costco!

(1) for good quality prints at least 240 DPI (Pixels per inch) resolution, you should better be 300 ppi. To get the maximum print size you can do without the magnification of the picture you simply divide the pixels that offers your camera by 240 (or 300 as the case may be) and get the max size in inches. For example: If an image gets out a camera with 3000 x 2000 pixels and you want 300 ppi print you will get a maximum of 10 "x 6.67" print. 240 DPI you would get 12.5 "x 8.33". If you want a print bigger that, and you can't go lower in the ppi, you will need to enlarge the photo.

I don't know what resolution print Costco wants, you need to ask them.

(2) you must resize the image, unless Costco would do this - ask them. But I'd do it myself. For resizing, you choose the dimension of the image itself, not the size of the paper/canvas. So, if you want an 8 "x 10" print on paper letter (8.5 x 11) you would resize your image to 8 x 10. Only if you print without borders image size is equal to the size of the paper.

(3) If you need to enlarge your image to get the print size you want (see above), you must leave the key unchecked. If you have the print sizes equal or less than that of the image file, the button does nothing. If you want a sense of the size 24 x 36 you must enlarge your image, then so do not check or you do not get the size you need.

(4) I don't know. Ask at Costco if they do any sharpening. I guess. Sharpening for print on canvas is probably not too critical because the roughness of the surface of the canvas will be a non-affutage effect. I would start with and .

(5) Costco prints probably sRGB (I guess), so it's a good idea to export your images as sRGB. If you do not have Photoshop for ever you can only guess. My advice: don't go overboard with the saturation / intensity. If you have Photoshop softproof it there before sending it.

Finally: Why not let you do a small print first and see how sharpness and colors work out?

  • Need help to export files in Jpeg format for printing

    I'm quite new to this, so any help would be appreciated. I use Lightroom 3 and need to export files in Jpeg format to put on Smugmug for printing. My understanding is that I put 300 PPI, in measuring the "size to fit" and the width and the height, I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to find my size of the original file that I can't find if I can put it in the right dimensions for export. My problem is that I want to export by batch and I need a way where I can export there will be minimum smugmug in culture when people are going to buy prints. I'm looking for the best image quality for printing without losing parts of the image due to the size of the file. Thank you very much!

    The size of the image are in the metadata Panel of the library Module.

    If you want to allow people of the same image to print sizes, then they will have to crop the image to the right size on Smugmug. There is no way to avoid it. I know that you said you don't want to crop the images, people, but users MUST make a crop so that the image has the same proportions as the print size.

    Similarly, if you want to allow people to print 4 x 6 or 11 x 17 or any other standard size, then you must provide as many pixels as possible. You can not, to your computer in Lightroom, choose settings that match all of these possibilities.

    So, again, I recommend that you download the whole photo, without culture and without resizing to the default PPP. Nothing else will not provide the end user the flexibility to print in different sizes.

  • 'Use the cartridges SETUP' error on the printer, need help!

    I bought the printer last year in the months of August and after 6 months of use, it started having problems printing wireless. I always had to use USB to print from my laptop so I was recommended by people in this forum to reset my printer to the factory.

    I have reset several times and nothing worked, so I was advised to do so by using the Cancel button and the middle button that reset the printer. Now the problem is it says "Cartridges use SETUP" and my printer is out of warranty, it expired last month. I'm really confused about what to do. I am a student and I still have the print job and I can't afford a new printer. Calling support has no idea what to do and email support does not because of my warranty as you exhale.

    My printer is a HP Deskjet printer Wireless 3070. Product number is CQ191B.

    I really need help has begun the new year of college and I have a lot of missions to print.

  • New large Format printing, need help with 450 c

    Hiya, people. I'm SO happy to have met this forum. I need some serious advice with a purchase of Craigslist lightning. This morning, I picked up a DesignJet 450 c with legs/stand and a JetDirect 300 x print server. I did a quick Google search to see if the printer would work with my Macbook and the answer * seems * Yes, it will, using Gutenprint. I could not test the unit out before I forked over the money, but I have fire and managed to load paper, scroll the lightshow market, etc. Worst case, I can sell it on Craigslist.

    I've got it now houses, and I really have no idea how to do it get up and running. It is connected, turned on and it will print configuration pages (so-more in a minute), but something is not quite right and I need help, whether it is user error, bad consumables or a defective unit.

    When I load a sheet of paper and run the black print cartridge alignment routine, I get a sheet printed in alone cyan. When I run the color cartridge alignment routine, I get a printed sheet only in cyan. In fact, when I'll be whatever it is, it is printed in alone cyan. Good news is, the machine seems to be functional. bad news is, it doesn't seem to work correctly immediately.

    I removed all ink cartridges, shaken a little and reinstalled, make the flashing light "Ready" each time. That has really improved the quality of printing cyan, but they are still only cyan. I ordered the new cartridges, but in the meantime, is there anything else I should try? I have a series of questions, but I need to get the machine printing test pages correctly, I think.

    Thanks in advance for your help. Let me know what additional information you might need and I'll see what I can do.

    What is the address of the computer? It should be in the same frame. If this is not the same then the direct stream must be reset so that it can find an ip address that corresponds to your network. Outermost Jet directs reset if you disconect the power and then hold the test button and connect the power supply to. For a few seconds, then release. Wait about 1 minute and then press the test button to get the config page which should now show a new ip address. Type that ip address in your web browser, and it can have a web page where you can refine the settings to make the permanent address.

    Files on the hard drive are very precious to me, so the hard drive can not be reset until I got the files. I tried to recover the boot files Ubuntu from a USB flash drive.

  • Need help for export to 1080 p 60 fps into 14 components (the video is silent)

    I just bought 14 items two days before, so I'm incredibly at this news. In which case it is important, I run 64 bit Windows 10.

    So, I create a 3D animation in MMD (MikuMikuDance), a program of 3D animation to be animated music videos.

    Following another problem with MMD, if I want to make the animation to superior qualities, I need to make it into pieces - if it's 1080 p 60 fps, then the pieces is executives from 1999. Once it restores a 2000th image without taking a break, the program crashes. For the same reasons, I can't use the audio in the original clip, so I need to add it separately.

    So, I use editing programs to combine these pieces and audio into a single file, I can then save on my hard drive and download on various websites. That's what my edit looks like so:

    Elements Timeline.png

    When I tried to export the file to MP4, I discovered that there is no integrated adjustment for export to 1080 p 60 fps; I could do 720 p 60 fps or 1080 p 30 fps, but 1080 p 60 fps was not an option. I decided to customize a setting for 1080 p 60 fps, but when I watched the videos, it was 1080 p 60 fps, but it is also completely silent, with no sound whatsoever. At first, I wondered if it was just a fluke and it made again. He was still silent. I restarted my computer, and left the computer alone while it has made, but he was still silent.

    A test, I used the setting for 1080 p 30 fps, and while it was not the quality I wanted, the audio worked well in this one. So, the problem - I guess - is with my fps setting custom 1080 p 60. If it works on an integrated framework, but not a customize one, then this is the only conclusion I can come to.

    Here is a series of screenshots showing my custom setting:

    Elements Export.png

    Because you can't see it all, the name of the preset is "MP4 - H264 1920 x 1080 p 60 fps 15Mbps Medium ' (I just changed pre-set at 60 fps 1080 p and reflects by changing the 30 in the title to 60; "I do not understand most of the title); and in case it is too small to see, the custom settings are:

    Resolution: 1920 x 1080

    Format: H.264

    Frame rate: 60

    Audio: MPEG, 160 kbps, 48 kHz, stereo

    Lasted: 3 minutes, 34.34 seconds

    Flow: 15 MB/s

    Now, here's the complete list of parameters for the screening:

    Elements Export Settings.png

    Elements Advanced Settings.png

    Elements Audio.png

    Elements Multiplexer.png

    So, which-if whatever this is-am I hurt? Should I change the bitrate or something?

    Try to set your audio Dolby Digital instead.

    But a lot depends on a lot.

    I don't have "everything about the specs of the MMD video that you use in your project, but which could also be a factor in this problem."

    And so couldn't your video settings, personalized 1920x1080p60 MP4, which can not be in the capacity of the program.

    And no matter what video player you play your MP4 on. Unless you use a good versatile player like VLC Media Player, you don't hear no audio from your video could be due more to the media player as the audio file itself.
