Hi, we are creating menus for a DVD. We were told to setup a Photoshop document using the preset for DV/NTSC (720×486 w/ .9 aspect ratio). I don’t have much experience in using non-square pixel ratio (we do print only) so I’m having a bit of trouble wrapping my brain around the concept.
I designed the layout in InDesign (much more familiar and much better for layout). I setup the ID document at 720×486. Now I am needing to copy/paste the elements into Photoshop (which has a non-square aspect ratio, but the same 720×486 size).
Question:
– When trying to paste the elements in, the default scaling it tries to do is 111% x 100%. Should I accept this or force 100% x 100%?
I’m sorry. It’s just confusing to me what I’m trying to do. I don’t understand if Photoshop is showing me ‘exactly what the video will look like on a TV’ or if it will scale this to look proper on a TV.
– I.E., if I paste a perfect square from InDesign, should it be perfectly square in this Photoshop document, or a bit skewed to account for the non-square pixels?
Thanks a lot. When I accepted the ratio Photoshop wants to scale when pasting, my background element was hanging way off the sides. When I forced 100%, it fit properly. But type seems to be working a bit differently.
Aaaaggh. I think if I understand the concept properly, I’ll be able to figure it out. The help files were only ‘marginally’ helpful.
