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.

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?

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.

Hi, I have been on the monthly plan for illustrator and photoshop, but felt that it would be cheaper to just buy these programs instead of paying every month. I don't see this option
There is no option to buy the latest versions of the software. Creative cloud is only available as an ongoing subscription.
However, you can always buy CS6 software if you wish.

I was entering numbers in a chart in Pages to update the information and all of a sudden the cells do not have the formatting that I want. It's changing the way numbers which I type them, and I don't know why or what to do?
Hi Slf@LF,
Numbers and pages are trying to be smart and recognize wht kind of data that you enter. If you enter something that resembles a date they will treat it as such. Some people have problems with serial numbers because programs to format their numbers and not text.
View the data that you are trying to enter and how it's changed and we ca probably to understand what is happening to her.

Hi, I got my subscription for the year running last for Photoshop and Lightroom. Because I had the good idea to download the version of Photoshop CC 2015 (I thought it was just an update...), I get to the evaluation period.
I would like to know, when this period expires, will I get my purchased version back or should I get a new subscription?
If I get a new subscription, one is cancelled automatically, or do I have to do something else?
Thanks a lot for the answers!

What is the unit of allocation best partition optimized for games and other files?
Original title: Dear lads! I'm buying a Western Digital Caviar Black 500 GB, and I intend to optimize my HARD drive
I want to tell you, what I usually use my PC, so you can help me with the allocation units, partitions and the locations of the page file.
-Use computer games for most of my quality time. I wonder, what is the unit of allocation best partition optimized for games-I download and download a large number of files. I'll create a separate partition for this kind of data?-I'll have access to 2 different hard disks the following day. Will I dedicate entire storage for the pagefile? (I've got GB of physical RAM)Thank you in advance for your time and suggestions!«Also, I would like to know, if I needed a file at all, or I could skip just use it, because I read something like: pagefile is mainly used for memory images, which I don't really need (some have suggested, you don't even need it on servers).»
When you move the pagefile to another PHYSICAL disk, you should always leave a little on C, perhaps 500 MB, for things like memory dump files. Next, you define a "system managed" pagefile on the other disk.
It never makes sense to totally eliminate the swap file and don't forget that the swap file is not a Microsoft invention designed to shoot to the top of the hard drive space. OS UNIX, Linux and Mac too, independently use the totals of RAM...

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.
