Photoshop

[smitch6]

okies folks everyone on here uses Photoshop or most of us anyway

i'm not an expert in fact i'm a complete novice when it comes to PS

i've been playing with some designs today for coasters 1 was 10mm fabric and the other was 90mm wood adjusted the sizes in image/image size then opened up a blank A4 page, and dragged and dropped the image until the A4 page was full (hope this makes sense)

When printed out i made sure the scale to fit box was un-ticked but when i went to sub them the images were about 5mm smaller than what they should be so i went back to PS and made the images that bit bigger, printed them out again
and hey presto they were still too small talk about annoying, wasting paper and ink

Is there any good tutorials that anyone knows for PS

Thanks steve

if your print printed smller then your designe make sure you empty document (in your case A4) has this same dpi value. also when doing design in Ps pres ctrl+R to show rulers around the document so it will help you lot when designing

Paul seems good at doing videos, I think he's fairly genned up on photoshop too. I use photoshop everyday at work but wouldn't call myself proficient enough to do videos and I only use coreldraw for printing out.

I was about to say they don't call me flash for nothing but, people may jump to the wrong idea............lol.

No I don't live on here but I'm here a lot of the time just in case I miss something like Paul missing the bargains........oooops sorry Paul.

I don't use Photoshop. Way too expensive.

I've tried Photoshop Elements but it's just a resource-hog and bloatware on my netbook. Doesn't seem anywhere near as easy to layout prints as Qimage.

I'm sure it's great for advanced users.

have you got your printer margins sorted for the paper - otherwise it will come out the size the printer is set at margin wise, not the programme ?

[jennywren]

You can do this two ways, you can transforn the image or go to the to and (not the image size left click) aand use that Mostly you find its the dpi and if you use 300 it works, do not forget to add a half cm for when you templace , this is to allow for pessing and it allows you to fold back and tape, if you pm I will send templates in photo shop whith ever thing set out, girds, middle ect
