Jpeg to Process Print the easy way
« on: May 25, 2011, 08:59:42 PM »
Just how many times are we asked to do this.

72dpi image, ppt file or even worst, to a nice L@@King process print. It can be done....

This is the way the file came in



Took to PS copied the image, increased the dpi to 300 and resampled.

Copy to a new transparent page.

Ran some adjustments to the image.

Took to Corel and did the lettering, export to PS 300dpi.

Sized in PS...and in QS I always go just a little darker and dropped to 200dpi and ran the sep



Printed shirt







The rest is just my crazy a$$ on a vid.

Great job. Nothing wrong with that. We do what we can with what we are given.  Thumbs up to ya. (He, we don't have any thumbs). Howzabout a smiley face. :)

We have a similar trick for that, take the jpeg and split into multichannel, which gives you the 4 grayscale channels for C,M,Y, and K. Take each grayscale and convert to bitmap, using the halftone option, set your linecount, angle and dot shape, then set the Output Resolution to 1200 ppi. That makes the dots come out at a much higher resolution, even though the original was 72 ppi.

Nice Killer...... I even like the station your listening to. Keep up the vids but as D said invest in a Tripod or get some my-mossa limbs and make one. Most of the folks here have no idea what that is.... ;D

Johnny,

Very nice.  And thank you for sharing.

I for one am just beginning to learn PS and this is the whole reason I'm even attempting to learn it.  I will return to to your post many times in the future.

Thanks again.

Jon
