I am having trouble printing a horizontal print in Photoshop CS (running on Mac OS 10.3). In the preview window, the "center image" button has been selected, and the preview looks centered. However, when I see the output print, it isn’t centered. Please help me with this matter. Thank you.
Give your photos a professional finish with sharpening in Photoshop. Learn to enhance details, create contrast, and prepare your images for print, web, and social media.
This is what I get with my printer too, and I think it is a ‘lag’ in how the printer ‘grab’s the paper before it is fed into the rollers. If I want something centered, I would make a blank page in photoshop and through trial-and-error, draw a center with cross lines on the page that I would move until it came out on center on the printer I was going to use. Then, put those cross hairs on a layer that also includes the 8 1/2 x 11 or whatever size paper you are using, outline as well for placement purposes. Save this file and use that art as a layer that you can paste into new documents when you are ready to line something up to come out ‘on-center’ on your printer.
How do you get your images into InDesign? I know you’ve mentioned printing your Photoshop images from within InDesign even well before the CS versions came out. I haven’t upgraded to InDesign CS yet, and when I tried placing a Photoshop PSD image into InDesign 2.0.2, a dialog box told me that 16-bit images are not supported, only 8 bits.
In the File > Open dialog box, all PSD, TIFF and even JPEG files are grayed out, even 8 bit files.
