• Best file format for Illustrator and PS files be placed in the ID

  I am writing a proposal using InDesign. It will output to PDF format for circulation among members of the team; I guess they will be view on a variety of screens and some will be to print on various desktop printers.

  I have a variety of images, all in color, in InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator to be included in the proposal. Varies from 5 x 7 to 2 x 2. Some are quite complex with fine detail.

  I just saw the proposal in preview overprinting ID / high quality display. The images don't look great. A lot of jagged lines.

  I usually save all in JPEG format with a quality of 80-90... but it's just a habit, I have no reason or justification for this practice.

  I wonder if I should go back to the original files of ID, PS and and save it back as something else before and then place them again.

  Does anyone have recommendations or thoughts to offer?

  I use CS4 on Mac. My computer is a little underpowered for the project at hand, but I'm willing to put up with a bit of slow performance and lag if it translates into a better final product.

  Irregular line is a feature of low resolution, no type of file or an overview screen lower quality than you think that you are using. Check the display performance settings again to make sure they are really good, and if they are configured to allow object level settings, you will need to make sure that each object is also correctly.

  Beond that record in .jpeg format is always destructive. For the web, it's nice, but for printing, you should never use anything, in my opinion, but the quality parameters for registration of JPEG files, and I recommend using jpeg at all. If your picture is that all raster data (pixels) Save .psd or .tif. If she has live type or any other vector content, save it as a Photoshop PDF. In Illustrator to save as .ai or PDF with Illustrator editing capability. If you change the extension of the files PDF Photoshop PDP they open in Photoshop rather than Acrobat when you use Edit Original.

  As I said, the effects of stairs are a feature of low resolution. We often have people tell us that the file is 300 dpi, but it turns out that it is a very small dimension and the imaga is furred in ID. Both links and information signs can show you the information of resolution of your images. There will be two numbers, real and effective. Effective resolution is the only number that is important. I would like to see a minimum of 150 dpi for printing on a desktop printer, but you could get away with as little as 90 for a non-critical image. Press 300 ppi would be the rule, and a fall below 200 asking trouble.

  How the file looks like ID is not nearly as informative as how a PDF file that was exported in the file looks like, or prints. For a high image resolution in the ID you are still looking at an overview of screen resolution lower, not the actual image, because she will be out. Export settings that downsample too far or apply too much compression to reduce file size also can turn a good document in an old piece of junk.

• Should I change file Format for CD burning

  I'm new with this please bare with me. What I can say all the music I have purchased through iTunes is in the AAC Audio file format. All the music that I imported into iTunes MY Cd collection has been imported with the Apple Lossless Audio File.

  My question is the sound quality of the BEST CD, do I have to convert the music I bought, with is in the ACC Audio, Apple Lossless file format, then burn to the CD? There should just go with the Audio of the right VAC on CD file. I ask this for music that I bought. All the other songs I imported CD into itunes is already Apple Lossless. I am not concerned about the larger files, just to get the best sound quality for CD.

  Hi 80vette,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  I see you are eager to learn more about the quality of the music, and if you can do something else to get them to a better quality.  Now it is possible to convert your AAC to Apple Lossless files, the only change you will see is a significant increase of disk space being absorbed by these songs.  Simply put, you can put the lossless format, but you will hear no audio enhancement.  In addition, encoded AAC files downloaded from the iTunes Store already compete with the quality that you hear on a CD of music retail:

  AAC encoded files compete with the quality of the audio CD and sound as good or better than MP3 files encoded in same or even a high sampling rate. For example, a 128 kbps AAC file should sound as good or better than a 160 Kbps MP3 file. Because the flow is weaker, the AAC file is also smaller than the MP3 file.

  See you soon.

• Best image format for InDesign CC

  I wonder what is the best image format to use when you place images in InDesign CC - I have followed the Simple Train video tutorials (which I think are excellent) and note that the images in their layouts are JPEG files.  I'm old-school design for print graphic designer, so I always thought TIFF would be better, can also place RAW images?

  Thanks for any help

  EPS does not support transparency or color management. The effects are raster images in many cases. To ensure high quality use HAVE or PDF/X-4.

  I forgot to mention another matter:

  • If you place a layout in a different layout, place an INDD or PDF/X-4 file. (Always ask for PDF/X-4 If you want to use in InDesign.)

  • If you have pictures, place them as RGB PSD files.
    http://InDesignSecrets.com/import-RGB-images-InDesign-convert-CMYK-export.php
  • If the images have no transparency, you can use JPG with quality.
  • If the images contain the text alive and/or vectors using PDF or PDP.
  • If you place work, use the files HAVE or PDF/X-4. Avoid PSE, run away from him.

• Best image format for InDesign

  When I finished editing an image in photoshop, what is the best format to preserve the quality when I'm ready to export to InDesign? I'm not quite worried about the size of the document. Also, how do I export my document in a PDF file to send to the printer?

  jiyasa wrote:

  K, let me see if I got right in Image > Image size, when the image size dialog in pixels/inch set it what be it 300 or below. Could you elaborate on the bleeding? I just pull any item on my page 1/8 "off the page completely or only 1/8" outside the margin for this? (I'm trying to make sense of bleeding/snail thing).

  WHOA.

  The image size is controlled by the capture (camera or scan), and so that you can edit it in Photoshop, size that save you is essentially irrelevant. What counts is the "effective" resolution, which is the resolution to the size printed on the page scaling. If you save an image 4 x 6 inches at 150 dpi, then scale it up to 50% (2 x 3 inches) when you place it in the ID, the effective resolution is 300 dpi. If you scale it to 8 x 12 the effective resolution becomes 75 ppi and it will look like probably like crap in the press.

  Definition of a resolution in Photoshop WITHOUT reampling does not affect the pixels somehow, or the effective resolution when the image is placed, only the preview which is saved with the image. On the other hand, change the resolution, WITH reampling means, that you are to throw (make the image smaller), which is fine if you don't expect to need the image to be larger in the future, or to the new pixels off the air by interpolation (enlargement), and data that rarely works to print.

  The suggestion to reduce the size of the image to 300 ppi is linked to the PDF export settings. There, you have the ability to downsample images during the export process when the resolution is higher than necessary, which speeds up processing at the printer.

  Bleeding refers to the color that extends beyond the trim of the page, then Yes, you shoot at anything that touches the edge of the page on an additional amout for bleed. This allows misalignements in trimming and prevents a thin white edge border, if the cut is a little off. Slug is an aree very which allows you to set special infrormation which may be useful for the printer, but should not appear on the final print. It is out of the background area lost and is always ready.

• Since FCPX as file format for iDVD

  Hello.
  I wanted to know what is the right way to export a Final Cut Pro X on a DVD with iDVD software.
  Usually export to format ProRes, but files are very grain.
  There is a procedure for this purpose?
  Thank you.

  Export as a master file ProRes LT will work fine.

  Drop export into iDVD, and let it do the coding.

  Expect a drop in resolution is always standard definition DVD.

• Use of the file format for saving file after eating a raw extension file

  Can someone explain the below please.

  (1) gross via Apple Photos and go edit the open module where it opens as a raw (nef pending).

  (2) open extension to step it up. Modify and save files.

  (3) file recorded while still in editing Photos watch module is like a jpg in the title. Right-click on the image and select Info and watch as raw

  (4) close edit module and look at the files in the photo browser and again and with all recent changes in place, it becomes a raw file (in the title and information).

  (5) raw open again file to modify the module and it says jpg (but Info says gross)

  What is going on? Any ideas? It's the jpg or raw or he's just read jpg info in the raw file? Or is it a big one. My ideal would be for the first to be kept in a form original and edited our at least edited to be tif.

  Thank you

  Colin

  Don't worry about this. Photos must save the JPEG preview to view your changes in the RAW.

• Best video format for iPad and Android

  I tested DPS on the iPad and Android, and I can't seem to convert the video into a format that will run on the iPad and Android devices. I have no problem with the iPad, but nothing plays on Android so far.

  If I test the video of the guy on the bike with the DPS tips app works on the iPad and my Android device. No one knows what settings were used on this video in particular?

  Tony

  If you are looking for a fast, easy, solution download Handbrake.

  Videos created with the work of iPhone/iPod screening perfectly on all devices that ive never tested. For tablets, the iPad preset works well but sometimes will not play on small Android devices.

  I went through all my Handbrake videos until I add to InDesign (or my sites)

• What is best soft CC for the creation of a DVD of a slide show, please?

  Hello team!

  I have nine jpeg images I need to run a simple loop on a 32 '' tv with crossfade.  I am subscribed creative cloud so I have access to the most recent CC applications.  I usually make videos in Premiere Pro, so I tried body for my project, exported a via Media Encoder .m2v file and created a DVD using Encore CS6.  I don't have any white Blu ray so I have not tried export/creation of a comic book.  Reading through the SD DVD resolution is not acceptable.  I need the sharp images, without unwanted artifacts.  I even tried Lightroom, but had even worse results.

  I've provided, I hope, the necessary information below to help you help me determine the best application/settings/etc to make a DVD of high quality of these images.

  My system:

  

  My typical asset:

  

  

  (image is 90 degrees on purpose;) TV will be mounted vertically)

  My sequence:

  

  My agency export settings:

  

  I noticed that the Width and Height parameters are locked; don't know if this is part of my problem.

  Is anyone able to help?  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Resolution of the images you use in this project is 8250 x 4650.

  And that you export MPEG 2 DVD, which will give you a resolution of 720 x 480.

  This option (width & height) is not locked, it is a limitation with this format.

  Video high definition may be stored on Blu - ray discs with up to 1080 p resolution (1920 × 1080 pixels), to up to 60 (59.94) field or 60 frames per second.

  However, DVD discs had been limited to a maximum resolution of 480i (NTSC, 720 × 480 pixels) or 576i (PAL, 720 × 576 pixels).

  Thus, you degrade the quality of the images of 8250 x 4650 up to 720 x 480.

  In addition, Adobe Encore is the only option for DVD/Blu-Ray.

  Thank you

• Best audio levels for the web, broadcast and live projection?

  I've seen conflicting information about it.  One source suggests hovering around 9 db and sometimes with a peak at-6 db.  This seems a little high for me. Other sources suggest to stay around 12 db.

  I just finished a picture/dialogue cut and starts adding sound and set levels. A longer version will be planned and posted on the web. A shorter version will be published for the public television broadcasting.  I don't have the budget for a pro mixer, so I have to do the best I can myself.

  I add a dynamic effect on the master output attenuator in the track mixer, there is a gain of makeup on the compressor that will add volume, you can just pull back the main knob in order to reduce the volume. You can also set the limiter in the dynamic effect to stop the surcharges.

• What file format is the best provide a general customer

  I shoot most of Nikon RAW files and perform a typical treatment post and finally send to Zenfolio (via Lightroom) for my client to download.

  I want to give them the highest resolution file on a disk so that they can store in it archives for future needs. What is the best format. Convert RAW to TIFF, PSD or DNG. Most of my clients have Photoshop, Lightroom, or other professional editing software. I want that they have the top of the ground in the future when I retired (haha) they can do, or have a service, any enlargement of the size, make the additional manulipition and so on.

  Thanks for the help.

  TIFF is the best file format to deliver to your customers to print and especially if you don't know what software they use and that you will not change.

  TIFF is very common and Mac/PC friendly.  If your needs are archival, print quality high resolution, and be able to open on almost all software, that's what you want.

  If transparency is important, you have support in his favor as well.

  First save a copy without layers, they won't need them. They would expect the Alpha channels, if you include those.

  If your file > save under looks like this:

  

  Then your Tiff settings should be set to this:

  

• Oracle Retail file format standard for batch - necessary specification

  Is there the exact specifications of the Oracle Retail standard file format for batch, such as EdiUpcat.pc (with possibly of examples)?
  I am producing a file with the change in the cost of provider for the batch of changes in cost (ediupcat.pc).
  '' Operations Guide - overviews batch, designs - volume 1, '' I found a brief description, even if it is not unclear to me
  (1) what should I do with empty values (of course, cushion with a number suitable spaces?)
  (2) what should I do if some string value has fewer characters that it is specified? I should pad left or right-pad?
  (3) what means Number (12.4)? The number of characters exactly? 17? So why the values in some fields are multiplied by 10000 (as well as get the integer value) while in others, they will Number notation (12.4)?

  Hi Roman,
  I'm happy to be of assistance.

  Try to see it like this:
  A number 20 is char-length 20 in a flatfile, and the value is what it is 1:1.
  A number of 12.4 char-length 12 in a flatfile, but must be divided by 10 ^ 4 (10000) to get its real value.

  Indeed, there is a funny asymmetry in the documentation how are managed decimals - but we had to carefully read already anyway... :)

  I've always liked to build a file by hand in an editor (vi, whatever) and then run it through the program and check for errors in the error file.

  Good luck and best regards,

• Best video format - MP4, DV, MOV...?

  Hello!

  I'd love your advice on the best video format for use in iMovie 10.1.1.

  In 2009, before that I migrated to Apple, I scanned some 50 family Hi8 videos. Later, when I migrated to Apple, I had to convert it into a format compatible with iMovie. Then, I don't have time to go further. Now that I'm retired I would edit the videos but I find myself with sometimes up to 4 versions of the same file, with very different sizes, and I don't know who should I choose and I should delete. For example, these are four versions, I have a video:

  Format size

  TS 1.55 GB (in the Finder, it says that it's MPEG-2)

  DV 9,55 go

  MP4 772 MB (in the Finder, it says that it's MPEG-4)

  MOV 5.53 go (in the Finder is said that it is the QuickTime video)

  Sometimes it's the MPG format.

  So my question is, what format should I keep? If I have to choose between quality and file size, I would choose quality.

  I see that iMovie recognize the DV MP4 but not TS and MPG formats. Which simplifies my choice, I think.

  To my surprise I see also that iMovie doesn't recognize the QuickTime files, even if it's an Apple software!

  I sought an answer to my question elsewhere on the Internet, but I found conflicting reports. Where did my posting on this forum.

  Thank you very much for taking the time to answer!

  MP4 is a delivery format, meant to be watching.   DV is a less compressed format designed for publishing.  If Mp4 files will occupy less space than DV files.  However, you can change them both.  iMovie will accept both.  I would like to keep both.

  My thought is that I edit in DV and export to Mp4 to watch.  If you burn it to a DVD, you will get the MP2, which is very highly compressed, designed for viewing, but terrible for editing.

  Don't forget to back up your movies before doing anything.

  I'm not sure that this link will work, but if this is the case it may be useful.

  Whats better dv or mpeg

• Objects vector smart object - file format

  What is the best file format to save a photoshop file that has a number of vector smart objects that will eventually print? File can be placed in illustrator or indesign prior to be expelled to the printer either as direct files or on the PDF.

  Danny is correct: smart objects are STILL pixelated in resolution of the PSD, regardless of the format that you save it in.

  If you want to print any dynamic objects with imported objects vector (illustrator?) to setter image max resolution, you must extract these objects in the PSD file and rebuild the design in Illustrator or InDesign.

  It means that the smart object in question, which opens in Illustrator, and then save the file as a file HAVE editing. Remove the smart object in the PSD in Photoshop, then save a new version. Note the exact dimensions and positions. Open the file in InDesign and rebuild the original.

  If the layer effects have been applied in Photoshop to a matter SO vector: no chance. You will need to generate layers separated in the best of cases, or begin to recreate the effects in Illustrator in the worst case scenario. Or a combination of both.

  Vector shapes and the Type that were generated in Photoshop with effects applied to him may be problematic if the resolution of the PSD is insufficient. However, the outline remains vector while recording in Photoshop PDF format. Import the PDF into InDesign retains the sharp vector contour. Just make sure that the native resolution of the Photoshop document is high enough to produce a strong impression for effects (which will be pixels).

  The problem is that a lot of designers decided to convert their photoshop vector shapes and text in smart objects - and this will rasterize the result, no matter what. And there is no easy way to "unsmart" a dynamic object.

  A method (far from perfect) is:

  • Double-click the smart object to open it in a new window
  • Select all the layers in the .psb (dynamic object) that opens
  • Choose Layer > Group the menu
  • Hold down the SHIFT key and drag the window of smart objects to your original document with the move tool window.
  • Drag the icon fx the dynamic object for the new group of layers layer you just drag over
  • Remove the smart object layer.

  The only caveats to this method are scale and positioning. You may have to reposition some groups according to their interaction with the edges of the original document. And if you scale the smart object layer, you may need to scale of the group as well.

  Here is a script that automates some of this: http://blog.kam88.com/en/expanding-smart-objects-script.html

  This will ONLY work with SOs that were created in Photoshop.

  Dynamic objects are bothersome creatures indeed. Much too easy for designers unknowing to destroy the intent of vectors and difficult and potentially very tedious to undo in a news environment.

  The problem is that a lot of users tend to abuse of Photoshop as a request to print 'all-in-one' layout

• Acrobat of PDX / IDX file formats

  Hello

  my client wants that I create a user interface (with Adobe AIR) to search in the index files Acrobat and view the results.

  I need a way to read files from Index of Acrobat (not sure, where real indices are, I think in the *.idx files) form ouside Acrobar Reader.

  If I had the pdx / idx format specification I would try to implement a parser, but I can't.

  Another option would be to export IDX / content PDX to XML with a third party application...

  Any help on this?

  Thank you!

  The file format for our index files is not published, sorry.
