Hi Everyone,
I'm running into trouble as I try to arrange P45+ files for printing from Vista, 32-bit CS4, 4GB RAM. A bit of a dumb question, but I've been fighting with it since I bought the P1 645.
I end up with a PSD file after processing in 16 bits in CS4. I may have a few adjustment layers (but never more than 3 or so lest CS4 crashes).
I want to print at 20 inches and I need a JPEG to send to the printer. If I try the Save for Web under the File menu, I immediately receive a warning that the command was not designed for large files and that crashes can occur. If I try to continue, CS4 crashes or cannot write the file after conversion. I then tried flattening the file, but same issues. I then flattened and converted to 8 bits, but I still immediately get the warning that the Save to Web was not designed for large files and the same problems happen if I continue. I usually don't get far enough to get to the point where I can drop the JPEG quality (and I thought I needed a high quality file for the larger print, anyway).
I know many of you are making large prints from MFDB files, but it seems my option is to view the files on my laptop, not print them, as I can't get the files converted in CS4.
Is there another piece of software you are using to make these JPEGs or are there other methods to make high quality JPEGs in CS4? I tried using 64 bit CS4 as well, but the same issues came up.
How are you getting around these size limits for the MF files? What settings should I be using?
Thanks for your help,
steve
