They do, and apparently are known for their excellent customer service

Great, thanks again!

I feel like my thinking is off right now but.. if I am trying to save a portrait shape photo for web, can I set the width to 2000 px?

Can you help me with batch saving PSD files to jpegs for web output? The workflow would be... add watermark, sharpen for web, flatten image, resize for web, save as for web. Am I missing anything?

Great, thanks so much.

Here are my settings under save for web.

Hi Damien,

Looking back through this thread makes me laugh... Anyway, I upgraded to a more professional webpage and I'm trying to get it under way... I just need some preparing images for upload ... 

Here is a tutorial from the website company 

https://help.pro.photo/wordpress/images-media-library/prepare-images-for-upload/

Here is what I am assuming from this:

1. Open photo in PS

2. Use the crop tool, W x H x Resolution, set width to 2000 px

3. Then what should I set my height? 

4. File, save - as .. then what?

Thanks Damien.

Okey doke. 

Thanks for the help on this.

Ok. How much more levels work until I can get into the skin class?

Yes

Got it. Thanks for the help!

*what is the resolution that my images should be saving at?*

Okay that sounds easy enough. Is ppi and dpi the same thing? Am I saying something wrong? 

“It will be on a 5 ft by 7.5 ft banner. It will probably take up 1/3 or 1/2 of it. “

Exact words from my client.

Hey Damien,

A client wants a banner size print. The only info they are giving me is that it needs to be 300 dpi and high resolution. What other info do I need from the lab? How do I go about this?

Thanks!

Hey Damien,

First of all want to say that your classes have changed my editing life and I still have so much to re-read, practice, and learn. 

I took the RAW, layers and masks, and levels class. My editing just seems to be missing the wow factor... I play and play and play and can't seem to be satisfied. I do have a lot left to learn in camera as far as achieving perfect exposure, but I feel that I can still do so much more in post processing. I'm applying the quick mask and editing particular areas of the photo like you taught in levels. That gives my photos a good extra punch, but like I said, I want more. I'm trying to mess around artistically, but I can't seem to get it right. 

Should I get into Levels deluxe? Will this help me significantly? Or should I post in the area where you help achieve a certain look?

Just looking for the next step to step up my game.

Thanks!

seems to be a stupid question but once I download the jpeg from my website how do I get all the info back for its size, pixels, etc. that I need to check?

Found it, just wasn't looking in the actions panel. Thank you!

no...

Hi Damien

I am trying to download the B&W conversion method action and it won't show up in PS?? 

Woa sorry just seeing these notifications for some reason!! I did check by downloading but I only compared what I noticed, so I will proceed to check the dimensions/pixels etc. Will let you know when I am home from work.

No I haven't . 

so what about you saying the images were much too small to download etc ?

Because  Your last comment about cropping 11x15, saving 10 jpeg is what I've been doing. 

I just need to know how to prepare a photo that the client can download and print, themselves. (due to not having set up printing services yet)

Thanks again for following through with this for me. Much appreciated.

Presentation and Printing:

You have two options if you plan on using your account for presentation and online print ordering.

You can upload low-resolution files only for presentation and when an order for a photoproduct is placed, then upload a replacement high-resolution file before the order goes to the vendor. This is useful if you have a large number of photos to upload but expect to print only a few of them.

Please see the Help section on replacing files during Order Approval

Alternatively, you can choose to upload from the beginning high-resolution files that are optimized for printing. To safeguard your images, you always have the option to limit the display size of your photos as you see fit.

Do you think it's worth calling Zenfolio to discuss? I'm trying to finalize a senior shoot and need to sleep well at night that I'm uploading high resolution images or just uploading them the correct way. 

UgH I figured this was a part of what I'm paying for ... are you familiar with Zenfolio? Here's a screen shot of the explanation of the plan I'm paying for 

At this point in the thread, we were just discussing how to put your photos on your website for people to view them.  At least, that's what I thought we were discussing.

Yes, you are correct on that.

When you posted this question, I didn't realise you were talking about the same website.  I assumed people would be viewing the photos on your website, and telling you which ones they'd like to order; then you would prepare those photos in high-resolution (at 11:15) and email them to them.

So far my method for preparing digital files for clients to download and print is

1. edit in ACR (as I already know you disapprove of as far as it's not enough, i'm on track to change this)

2. save as jpeg  - - THIS IS WHERE I'm NOT sure of the exact steps on how to save and prepare a high resolution file

3. upload to the website I use for clients to view their photos AND have full access to download and print as they please

4. At this point I do NOT have a printing service set up through my business yet. I am reviewing different pro labs and order prints to see how I like, etc. 

5. SO ... with all that being said - - My questions are:

How do I prepare high resolution images for clients to download and print as they please?
