Excellent. It would have been much harder if you'd asked me this after you'd done some Photoshop work. Here's what to do: Go to the Layer menu and choose Smart Object>Convert to Smart Object (the wording might vary depending on your version of Photoshop, but you'll find it) Then Ctrl T to get the Transform handles, and rotate it as you wish. Press Enter/Return when you've done so, to get rid of the handles. Image>Reveal All Add a new blank layer, and start cloning extra blanket where you want it.

The colours are a bit weird - sort of like a painting. If that's what you were going for, you nailed it!

You don't use Image Processor for print. It's impossible to batch-process the cropping/resizing/sharpening properly. Image Processor is for web images, and for digital file sales. Not for prints. But of course, your question is still a valid one. Files that you are sending to the lab do have to be jpegs. I talk at great length about the Image Quality setting for prints in the Sharpening Class, but as a general guide, Level 8-10 (on the 0-12 scale) is fine.

There are various ways to do this. I prefer to teach a two-step method (even though there are some one-step methods available) because it is easiest to replicate in various situations. First, a layer to lighten the hand. I used Levels, but Curves or Brightness/Contrast would work too. Then clip a Photo Filter layer to it, and experiment with each of the Warming filters, and the Yellow filter. I used Yellow for this job. Play with the Density slider to taste.

Also, it looks like you added the text to the photo before you added the photo to the template? That's very bad. Assemble all the items in the template. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/05/making-pdfs-from-photoshop.html Did the printer give you specific advice about text? Its colour, I mean? It's a tricky matter. -

No, I mean the actual photo! You did the screenshot just fine. I'm talking about how you put the photo of the lady into the template. -

No, something isn't right here at all. It looks like you copied/pasted the photo, rather than File>Place? -

Fabulous! May I see a screenshot? Of the template with an image (or images) placed in it? Include the whole screen - panels and everything. -
Hi Linda, is this SOOR? Have you done any Photoshop work to it yet?

Great. And is that the profile your template is in? -
Using Cable vs. Card Reader
Damien Symonds replied to OlgaR's topic in Questions about tutorials and articles
Speed. And other reasons I forget. But mainly speed. You see people have issues with cables too. -

Well, if you were thinking of buying one of the excellent Dell Ultrasharp screens, you could go to their AU website. And this mob seem to have a good range.
