The first step was to use the Poserize… dialog with maybe as many as 16 steps but likely only 8. How the colors were mapped I’m not sure. I tried the Hue/Saturatuon dialog as well as increasing the saturation by duplicating the image and setting the mode to multiply but couldn’t exactly nail those colors. The texturing was an old an crude form of pattern dithering when the image was saved as an 8 color GIF… I guess the Logo is at least 15 years old. Am I close?
Hmmm, that PDF loaded in my browser in about 7 seconds so I didn’t the size a second thought. When I open it up in Photoshop the actual image is 2135px x 1536px @ 300dpi, CMYK 8 bit with lots of transparency. Is 4mb disproportionally large for that size of image saved as PDF? I never save PSD PDFs.
After seeing the same question over on the Windows forum, I finally decided to try viewing the PDF directly in Firefox 3.0. Before, I did a "Save Link As…" and opened it in the FOSS PDF app Skim.
I didn’t try before, because I’ve known of other PDFs that took for-bloody-ever to load and open, even though they weren’t that big. Dunno why, it just happens sometimes.
Anyway, it only took about 10 seconds or so.
Now I’m curious about why it took some of you folks so long to view it in your browsers.
And I tell you to shut up again, Lundy. You didn’t warn me of anything. You whined about your problemone I wasn’t having.
If you had understood what I just wrote in reply #15 you’d know that I just reported that going to the PDF link above and opening it in FF3 (using the ShubertIT PDF plugin) was quick and easy for me.
Maybe that’s why I always see you pop in with reports of problems you have that nobody else does, and that you can’t solve. Maybe you just ain’t two gud at reedin’ and understandin’.
The PDF file was saved without the option of ‘Optimize for Fast Web Preview’. While it should not be a major issue with this single page PDF file, leaving that option unchecked while saving from Photoshop will require site visitors to wait for the complete download prior to viewing. This may cause a delay or hang in a browser, especially if the user has a slower connection and/or a weaker system.
I am sure that it is helpful to other Forum users that you are clearly labelling yourself as "Not Ann Shelbourne" although it is probably perfectly clear to everyone that the twaddle that you post would not come from my keyboard!
"I appreciate all those who actually answered my question with out bitching about the stupid link."
It’s all connected, though, Amy. Maybe the bitching was unreasonably harsh to your way of thinkingeverybody’s different on that account.
But you have to be aware that these days, just being able to manipulate images the way you want them isn’t enough. Photoshop isn’t an island. There are all kinds of other things that need to be considered at the same time…file size, file attributes, how the images will be used after you’ve completed the visual work on them, etc.
The "stupid link" may seem inconsequential, but it’s not.
It’s a lot to learn, and everyone who jumps into the deep end knows their head’s gonna go underwater occasionally. The secret is to know how to keep swimming, keep swimming, and never stop learning.
