Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Damien I have to send some files to someone for them to post on their web page, what size and res do I send them in, and what do I do for sharpening ? I also have to send the editor files of the same images for be published in their magazine, they require pdf form and 300res, so which process should I follow ?

Every website is different. They'll need to tell you exactly what pixel dimensions their website requires. Resolution is completely irrelevant for web images. It can be 300, or 72, or 3000000000, or 7. Only the pixel dimensions matter. 13 minutes ago, Sommer sweeney said: and what do I do for sharpening ? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/10/how-ive-been-sharpening-for-web-lately.html 14 minutes ago, Sommer sweeney said: I also have to send the editor files of the same images for be published in their magazine, they require pdf form and 300res, so which process should I follow ? PDF? Are you sure? Can you show me exactly what their requirements say?
Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 I talked to her on the phone and she said they work off of pdf's !
Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 I am not sure if this matters but the magazine is newspaper material not glossy pages if that makes a difference. the size is 8.5 x11.

Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 For the web site she said as long as they are high res she wants both horizontal and vertical of each file. No I'm sending the images for the add.

Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 All I need to know is the resolution, correct? For the website?
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Just now, Sommer sweeney said: All I need to know is the resolution, correct? For the website? NO! The resolution is completely irrelevant. You need the dimensions in pixels.

Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Then you'll just send a jpeg file as usual, to the magazine. And yes, make sure it's 300ppi as they asked. For web, maybe you just need to do what they say. Don't resize them at all, just crop two versions for them.
Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 Ok, I told her I could send them 15:11 300 res and savers a jpeg then they could use them that way and she said that would be fine. what about sharpening? none or and can I sharpen? 300,1.5, whatever threshold is?
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 No, sorry, you haven't learned how to sharpen digital files yet.
Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 only what your class has taught me.
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Right. And you haven't got to the bonus module of the class yet.
Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 Im very confused, lets just handle one topic at the moment, sending my files to the magazine printer. I'm going to send them jpeg format. I just need to know how to size them and sharpen them. No not yet. but my test prints are ready for print.

What is their PPI at the moment?
Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 I would like to crop in on them a little bit though to make them nicer.
Damien Symonds Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Great! So yes, go ahead and crop. Make sure there are no values in the Options Bar.
Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 here is a screen shot of what I am seeing
Sommer sweeney Posted September 28, 2020 Author Posted September 28, 2020 The res is gone because I cleared it at the top bar. is that ok?
