Image loses quality when I print to indesign, but in photoshop.

Im having a little problem with jpeg and tiff files, if someone could help it would be amazing!

When someone gives me a format jpeg or tiff (300 dpi), I place it in indesign, I then print and the image quality is terrible. If I open exactly the same file in photoshop and print it directly from there its quite well.

Why, and what it does?

If I use a psd file, it works fine, it just seems to be a problem with JPEG and TIFF files.

Using a CS4 on Mac. Printing on Xerox Docucolor 5000 using a Fiery Rip.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the graphical section of the print dialog box, change the setting to send data from optimzed subsampling at ALL.

    The work path is a vector and infinitely scalable, but when caress you, Photoshop sets the pixels on a layer following the path.  These pixels are rasterized and based and cannot be resized without loss of quality.  You have options.  If you want to enlarge the raster layer, transform the work path and stroking again.  Or work at a resolution higher, in the first place.

    Either incidentally, you can't trace a path with the pen, because it's a vector tool, and caressing is a matrix function based.

  • Problem of image quality when you print the brochure in PDF format

    Hello!

    I searched the whole web, trying to find a solution for my problem, but I couldn't find anything...

    I created a vertical page A5 document in InDesign CS6, filled with high quality photos. Now, I want to print in a brochure (in PDF format) in order to save it and print it in a professional facility.

    The problem is when I do this, the image quality turns out to be terrible...

    I checked my print settings and I can not find something wrong...

    Installation - A4 horizontally, and Graphics - Images - send data - is set to all.

    Is there anything else I can / try? What can I do it wrong?

    Here is a picture of my print settings:

    printsettings_ind.png

    When I export the document normally in format PDF the image quality is fine, but it doesn't have the booklet layout I need, it exports all single A5 pages one after the other. If I try to print this pdf file as a booklet in Adobe Reader, the same thing happens to the images, they lose quality.

    Help, please!

    Thanks :))

    Have you checked withthei 'professional establishment' as to what they want. Printers will not, in general, impose you the document. It's their job and they do it in a way that corresponds to the study and the equipment they use for printing.

    That said, your problem with low quality images is probably the default PDF settings. Change them to something useful in Pringter in the Windows properties, or click the settings button in the print dialog box to access the driver from there and set them as you want. I'm sure that when the default installed PDF printer is 'standard' gives you the output of RGB 72 ppi.

  • Image links missing when I open an indesign file on Mac, which was created under Windows (drive network and local copy)

    Hello

    I have the following situation:

    InDesign files are created from Windows-InDesignServer via a Plugin for automation.

    All clients work with a Mac. When they want to open a file, the plugin copy the file from the network drive to a local folder and opens the copy.

    But in this way, all the links to the images get lost.

    For example:

    Windows - link of the original file:

    \\myNetworkDrive\Data\Brands\alfa.AI

    Mac - path that is displayed in the indesign palette:

    /myNetworkDrive/data/brands/Alfa.AI

    HD:myNetworkDrive: Data: Brands:alfa.ai Macintosh

    The interesting thing is, if I open the file on the network drive, InDesign on Mac is able to find the links via the Windows paths.

    But as soon as I copy locally, links are missing.

    Y at - it features to store both Windows and Mac-paths in the link?

    Or a Url scheme that works for both platforms?

    ...

    I wrote a small javascript which reconstructed the missing links, but this is only a workaround for me.

    Thanks in advance!

    Create a symbolic link in the root directory did the trick:

    CD /.

    mkdir myNetworkDrive

    ln-s/Volumes/Data/myNetworkDrive

    In this way, the NetworkDrive is accessible as if it were on Windows:

    CD/myNetworkDrive/Data /...

    The only drawback is that it must be configured on each new customer. But that shouldn't be the problem.

  • Why do I lose quality when I put a video in my calendar?

    The video looks fine in preview but it down quality extremely when I put the clip in my calendar, it's only for video clips, not photos. If anyone can help me with my problem, it would be very appreciated, this problem has brought all my video projects at the stop.

    You control - click on an item in the source selected in the project Panel, correct?

    Not on the timeline.

    What first version do you use?

    If you do not get this menu option, and then drag the selected again clip icon in the lower right panel program:

  • Live Trace image loses quality in After Effects

    Hello

    I created an image using vectorization and saved as a file ".ai". I thought that save it like that would have the same quality in After Effects. However, the image of After Effects seems pixelated. I apologize if this is not enough information to solve the problem, but I'm still new to both programs. Attached are two images and that of After Effects to Illustrator.

    Thank you

    Also if someone could please tell me how to get rid of the white background in my illustrator file that would be great.Screen Shot 2013-12-19 at 5.54.41 PM.pngScreen Shot 2013-12-19 at 5.55.36 PM.png

    When I create a text layer, the image becomes black.  If I enter text blindly, I'll see results when I finish and click another tool.  If I try to change the text layer, everything becomes black.  I'm not using the tool type mask.  I can select and move the layer and I mix the layer; I can't see what I'm typing.

  • HP Photosmart 7280 C: Jam printer when printing from InDesign

    I seem to be able to print anything, except when a print to InDesign file. When I try, I get a paper jam?

    Hello

    You use a different type of paper to print with InDesign? The program itself can cause the paper jam, but maybe the settings or the paper you are using are the cause of the problem. I often print on thicker or InDesign photo paper and usually just put a sheet in the printer at a time to help with jams and paper pick up questions.

    Please report parameters and the type of paper you are using to help find a solution. Thank you!

  • I'll put up correctly "Photoshop manages color" when Photo printing?

    I have a new printer Epson AND 4500 with which I am trying to print a photo and let Photoshop manage color.

    I created a new ICC file for Canon Photo Paper Pro paper I use.

    In the dialog box "Print" of Photoshop, I chose "Photoshop manages colors" in the menu "Color Handling.

    I chose my ICC profile created for paper and she is clearly identified in the menu 'profile of the printer '.

    I chose "Normal printing" and "Relative Colorimetry" for the "rendering intent".

    "Black Point Compensation" is checked.

    At the top of the dialog box, I clicked 'Print Settings' and it then opens a dialog specific to my new printer Epson AND 4500.  In this dialog box, I chose:

    o Type of paper - Premium, glossy Photo paper

    o high - quality

    o color

    There is one menu item "Other Options" and I click on that to open another dialog box.  In this box, under "Color Correction", the choices are "Automatic" and "made to measure".  I choose "Custom" and then click on the button "Advanced".  A new dialog box opens that says 'Color management' at the top and allows you to choose one of four options:

    O color controls

    o Photo fix

    o ICM

    o No. color setting

    I chose "CIM".

    I then print the image.

    My problem is that in my view, there is absolutely no difference in the colors of the printed image compared to when I print the same photo, but choose "Printer manages colors" in the dropdown menu of Photoshop for 'handling of color.

    I'm doing something wrong?  It just surprised (and disappointed) me that I don't see any difference when I let the printer manage colors and when I have Photoshop manage colors using an ICC file I created specific to my new printer and the paper choice.

    Thank you for your help.

    Len Jacobson

    No, you should use no color adjustment (which is supposed to be set automatically when the application handles color). By selecting ICM, you have transformed the image twice and mutilated the color.

    ICM should be chosen if you let the printer manage color (in which case Photoshop do anything to your color data).

  • When you print colors of Photoshop gΦre - it seems saturated - Lightroom ok? What is going on?

    Hello

    I am using a printer Epson SC-p600 and printing of photoshop - and I am really struggling to adjust colors when you select "photoshop manages color". Please can someone help? My question is: why all the colors come out badly in photoshop, what am I am I doing wrong? I can get a decent print using Lightroom or choose "printer manages color" - but not "photoshop manages colors."

    (1) when I select "Ps manages color" I get terribly on aspect saturated in the images. Watch the quick comparison here:

    The top printed in LR image seems very close on the screen - PS background image is very saturated - what is happening on Earth? I can't fix it.

    To reset the printing preferences, click file, and then press the space bar as soon as you click on print.

    It must reset the print settings preferences.

    Once this is done, please set the appropriate paper type and profile and then try to print.

    Also, please ensure that you have the latest printer drivers installed on the computer.

  • PS CS4 vs CC: jpeg loses quality after cropping?

    I need to crop pictures down to use on the web.  I use Photoshop CC.  Whenever I harvest, the image loses quality.  It happened not in CS4.  I did a comparison on the same image - cropped and saved for the web in CC and CS4.  The right one was done in CC and bad image quality.  I can't find all the differences in these two JPEG images.  (the two RGB/8bits, both at about 40 k - the best image is actually a little more small. weird.)

    Any ideas on what has changed in CC?

  • Images are dimmed when I save JPG in Photoshop

    Here is what happens:

    I opened a photo capture with my DSLR (a JPG in this case).  It resembles Photoshop.  I change the image, and export by going to file > save under > then I choose JPEG.  I then leave quality to the max (12) and say OK.  The resulting image is MUCH darker (the shadows are completely overwritten)

    Why is this happening?

    Some features:

    Windows Vista 64-bit

    Photoshop CS4 64-bit

    Thanks for your time and your help.

    I use Windows Photo Gallery to view JPEG images (dark).  When I view these same jpegs in Photoshop, they look better.

    There is your answer. PS is a workspace color managed, while the Windows Photo Gallery is not. Same thing will probably happen with other areas of work/programs not color managed.

    The secret is to always work and make decisions on a good claibrated, color managed workspace.

    It was about the same as the old days of film. Adjust us things for our calibrated lightbox or cabin and then get the call that the colors were off on chrome, when the customer held up a fluorescent flickering, or a window North-lite. Well, what what did they expect?

    Good luck

  • Do the "keys" on each side of the Envy4500 lights when the printer is turned on?

    I just bought two new Envy4500s and at the same time on them, the "key (i.e. up/down, 'ok', etc.) on each side of the display screen does not light up when the printer is turned on."  HP rep said they should, but on any machine they light up. Thus, all "keys" are essentially impossible to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello @paularose,

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    I see that you are curious about the screen of the HP ENVY 4500 e-all-in-one printer.  I would like to help.

    The arrow keys do not light up when the printer is on, but as you can see when you look at your own models, they are clearly identified.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

    Can anyone offer me please suggestions on how can I fix?
