Print quality of gradients of gray light and shadows

Hi all

I am putting together a flyer only page which will have gradients of light and shadows on objects.

Think that the shadows and Apple-ish light gray...

I would like to get a review here of someone in the know as I am much more than print digital.

(1) what is the lightest gray although I can work that will print well?

When you configure the CMYK color should I simply put it in say 10% 10% 10% 10% or is there a better mix for gradients of gray. a little blue for example, or a mixture rich black.

(2) for the creation of gradients in illustrator, should I go for the transparent grey or is it better to set up a white gradient gray?

Finally,.

When creating my images with shadows and slopes support, it would be better just create them in Photoshop and put them in my illustrator document and leave Illustrator to the text alone?

Thank you in advance, I really appreciate your help

Gray can be a subjective thing, especially when it comes to "which is too light? Personally, I try to not take any less than 10% gray. To answer your direct questions:

(1) I would avoid making a mixture of gray, go all your lighter mix colors, they will be dyed and muddy. If you go for a deliberately cool gray I would use something like 3/0/0/10. If you want something more pure, just use shades of black.

(2) illustrator is currently the best support of transparency. If using the white gradient does not interfere with what anyone elese about your history, I would stick with that.

(3) you can go either way (Photoshop or Illustrator) to create your gradients. When it comes to most output devices, Photoshop gradients tend to run a little better (to know information static instead of dynamic vectors), but they restrict you during the design (as in Illustrator you can keep changing on a whim). Being a single page flyer, I would stick with Illustrator.

  • detail of light and shadow can be edited in Photos?

    I noticed that some editing on the iPhone 6 s tools are not available in OS X El Capitan 'Photos,' setting particularly light and shadow detail.  Is there a way to do this?

    Editing tools are all there, but you have to reveal the advanced tools.  They are hidden by default.

    To use the tool of facts highlights & shadows, open the adjustment Panel, then click on the text in blue 'Add' in the upper right corner.  Now add all the advanced settings, you want to use.

    Click the Basel to the right of the 'Light' adjustment to reveal the advanced controls for "Light".

    The downarrows are hidden, unless you hover on the far right of the amounts of the adjustments.

    The scroll bar is also hidden. You can scroll the Panel to view more signals, if they will not fit in the Panel.

  • When a photo has for example a bright sky beside the dark object, using lights and shadows can cause a 'halo' or double edge to appear. How can I avoid this?

    When a photo for example has a bright sky next to the dark object, using lights and shadows to reduce high contrast can cause a 'halo' or double-edge to appear. How can I avoid this?

    From my experience, this isn't a problem that has a simple solution, such as moving a slider or a combination of the sliders in LR. It requires rather a major change in the technique, at the unit or in office. Some pros (I am not one) tire ALWAYS support HDR or this reason - better transition from highlights to shadows, then tweak the image with much less "heavy" necessary. Another popular technique is the luminosity masking and blending in PS. There is a ton of information on this topic (just do a search on Youtube), but it's not easy to learn or do, but it can eliminate this problem.

  • PhotoSmart 6520 diagnostic print quality without shades of gray

    Have a PhotoSmart 6520 printer which worked fine for 6 months.  Used several black cartridges within 6 months.

    Black ink again ran and to replace the cartridge, new cartridge would not work.  Then put in another, which seemed to work at first, but what any other dark black printing black complete, there is little or not provided ink.  However, it will be still print black text.

    Now, after having changed twice, printer cartridges when you print the page 'Print diagnostic quality', the text prints very well, but grayscale bars do not print.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I found the answer in the forums!

    The cartridge was not properly ventilated.  I used a knife to scrape back the plastic & covering the evacuation of the adhesive area and it works now.  Strange thing is that we apparently have two or maybe even three cartridges in a row that were not properly ventilation.

  • Development of lighting and shadows settings are not functions

    While implementing a plugin to image processing, I learned something very interesting (for me) on the tones dark and light parameters of development.  The other basic tone settings (exposure, contrast, saturation, etc.) always map any one color to another simple color evenly across the image.  But the dark and light tones can map a given in multiple colors in a single image, depending on the location of the pixel color.

    For example, in a test image I made with Shadows = + 100, pixel (824 286) had its origin value of 16-bit color (0, 0, 0) transformed into (1724,1387,852).  Pixel (861 287) was also the original color (0,0,0), but it turns into a color very different (3093,2688,1316).

    Abstractly, the other the basic tone settings are functions (any input color is always the same output color), all in shadows and points strong are-to-many mappings (any color input can have several colors of output). I knew that clarity not was not a function - transformed from a pixel value would depend on neighboring pixels.  But it does appear to me that dark and light tones are not functions either.

    This property of shadows and highlights well known by experienced users of LR?  (I.e. Rob, I guess you knew that?)

    Yup - @Lr4 (PV2012) there are 3 settings using the new algorithm 'magical' from Adobe:

    * Clarity

    * Puts out

    * Shadows

    I don't know really enough to fill in many details, except to say that when you use - highlights or + shadows, he 'clarifies' highlights and/or shadows a bit, using the algorithm of the transformed of Laplace-based Adobe developed. Jeff Schewe made us a white paper on this subject in the past, but I do not know the link... For me, it is similar to the "Topaz" detail and Topaz Adjust 'adaptive' improvements - two Photoshop plugins I used regularly until the Lr4 is out (Adobe algorithm is very well done - in my opinion, better than Topaz labs, or others are doing similar things, for example, PhaseOne, DxO, Nikon,..).

    FWIW - it's one of the reasons why some people raise hell when Lr4 is out - no way to brighten the shadows using sliders base without getting the effect of clarification... That said, Eric Chan also informed us that extra Lr3 light had a similar mathematical algorithm it backup and therefore Lr4 wasn't new in this regard, only improved...

  • How can I get the relief of lights and shadows of otherwise transparent type?

    I want to type in a form that cleared the underlying image side highlight of embossing and dark on the side of the shadow, but leaves the body of the transparent type embossed. How would I do that? I apply a certain amount of transparency of a layer of text, then the type is not totally obcure the underlying image.

    I usually apply a fairly transparent version of a copyright image in Lightroom, to keep discreet but always readable, if you really look for it. See the bottom left of the pictures to https://www.facebook.com/drew.tronvig/media_set?set=a.10151421311963431.507404.596468430 & t ype = 3. I created this image of copyright in GIMP or something, but I need to generate even more, and I really want to stay in Photoshop.

    Use the Layer Styles and set the fill of the layer (in the layers panel) to 0.

  • 3510 print quality

    Print quality is good, but too dark and uses ink cartridges too quickly. Is there a simple solution to change the setting on printer 3510 project or the quality of the light to save ink? An "ink saver" option would be useful.

    Hi jacksson,.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    What you need to do is click on the start menu, open Control Panel, open Printers and faxes and then click on your printer to highlight. Continue to click with the right button on your printer and click on Preferences or print options, according to which there and then you should see a screen similar to the picture below, although it will probably happen on the tab layout as opposed to the paper/quality tab.

    Once you have selected the draft mode, hit apply it inside before pressing OK. Then the printer should still print in draft mode, until you tell it differently.

    Hope this helps, let me know how everything goes!

  • want to 7640: very poor print quality photo

    Photos printed on our 7640 desire come out cloudy even if they were taken with a quality camera and displayed on the computer screen into bright colors. We have installed new ink cartridges and verified that the photo paper is loaded correctly. Are the only parameters that seem to affect the photo printing quality (normal selection or the best gives the same print quality) and "sharpen for printing" (checking and unchecking this box will give the same result). What other options are there to improve the photo print quality?

  • HP deskjet 2540: stop page print quality and 'use printer wireless without router' printing

    After installing the hp deskjet printer 2540, all operating systems (vista, windows, mac os, windows 8) correctly printed.

    I would like to prevent the printing of print quality page whenever the printer is on and to prevent print also the page "use printer wireless without router" (it would be better not to waste the ink).

    Thanks for any help you can provide

    Hi there @lesart55.

    Welcome to the HP community!

    I have seen your post on how your Deskjet 2540 prints a page of print quality every time that the printer is on, and also the page "use printer wireless without router" is printing.

    I'll start with the PQ page that prints at the start of the printer, as it is normally a sign of a hardware problem with the printer.

    Try to update the firmware on the printer. Here is the link to download and run the update using a USB connection to your Vista system: HP Deskjet 2540 series Firmware update

    Try a reset of the power to the printer and make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help greatly.

    Press the power button to turn the product on.
    With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
    If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    If the PQ page always print after you are done troubleshooting, try the steps outlined in this guide below. I looked at the steps that I see would take place in the tent for your specific problem and chose the steps following, Please do not take account of the actual title.

    An "Incompatible cartridge or"Missing cartridge"Error Message is displayed for HP Deskjet 1510, 2540 Deskjet, HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 2540 all-in-One Series Printer"

    I hope that the problem has been cleared up for you at this stage. If this isn't the case, please call us directly to discuss your options of the printer!

  • Photosmart more B210a no impression and the poor print quality options

    I have a Mac running osx10.9.4 and a connected wireless, B210a printer all-in-one. Everything works well until a recent update that removed all the printing options (color / gray scale / etc. of paper type and print quality)

    The last thing to print very well were some photos in July. Since then whenever I try to print, the black is so fake and colors too bright - almost as if she always strives to pring on photo paper. When we do a re alignment or own heads, prints in black as it should, but every other time, it is terrible. I am a independent and I occasionally print estimates out to customers... but I can't at the moment.

    My son has the same problem with the same printer of his macbook (unknown model / system information)

    Don't know what to do and don't want not throw everything out the window in a fit of anger... Please help!

    Hello

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    Sorry to hear about the recent issues with the B210a Photosmart on Mac 10.9.4. The printer will copy without any quality problem?

    I would try the following on the Mac;

    1. Reset the printing on Mac system. (Mac OS x: how to reset the printing system)
    2. Repair disk permissions (ignore the statement about 10.7)
    3. Download and install this: v.2.16.1 for OS X HP printer drivers.
    4. Add the printer using print and scan from system preferences.

    Let me know if this helped.
