#11 - How to Save Photoshop PDF in Photoshop

#11 - How to Save Photoshop PDF in Photoshop

Such security. 11th day in Principles of Design and Color Theory. What I've learned today is about saving Photoshop PDF Files in Photoshop. Well, first of all, what is PDF? PDF stands for Portable Document Format. PDF is a file format used to represent documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating system. From my point of view, PDFs are document files but not able to be edited. PDFs are mostly save files from word, excel, and powerpoint to avoid editing the document. So then, Photoshop has the ability to save into Photoshop PDF file for printing purposes.

What am I writing is how to save one Photoshop PDF file. When the first time I've learned and did about this, it is a lot easy as long as you have high comprehension of learning a lot of things beyond you.


#1

Let's start with the Photoshop file I'm going to save in Photoshop PDF. Why am I starting this in this way? It is because everything starts from the most simple and most beginning of a process and, of course, it has to end in the most simple and most end of a process...


#2

To save this as a Photoshop PDF file: Go to File, then Save As...


#3

In the Format, click and check Photoshop PDF so you'll save the file in Photoshop PDF file. Then, hit Save...


#4

Hmm... after you hit Save, you'll get to encounter and open this dialog box. It says: "The setting you choose in the Save Adobe PDF dialog can override your current settings in the Save As dialog box." It seems that when we save it with the settings in the Photoshop such as color working space assigned, it can override the current settings from the process during the Save As. So, this is just a warning. So then, hit OK. You may check the Don't show again. If you do, after hitting Save from the process in Save As, this dialog will never appear again. It is useful if this dialog annoys you...

#5

Then, you'll get in this part. This part tells you the other settings for saving into Photoshop PDF file. Adobe PDF Preset tells you how much quality will you save the file. It is better in high quality but costs a lot of time and space. Compatibility does the saved PDF will open in a program called Acrobat which opens PDF files. In it, it shows options which Acrobat version---4, 5, 6, 7, and so on--- will support the PDF file. Example, if you select version 5, it will open in 5 or higher versions but it will not open in 4. Options will help you on how previewing the PDF file. All of these stuff are in General section...

#6

In Compression section, this compresses the file into an assigned compression, resolution, quality. With the settings above, you get to save a PDF file into JPEG compression, in maximum quality, and with a 300 pixels per inch resolution...

#7

In the Security section, you'll get to set a password for the PDF file to be opened and to be printed. If you want to require one, just do it. If you don't want to, just do it. This helps you to have security in your PDF file. In the Permissions tab, this sets you if there are printing and changes permissions if they are allowed or not. If you want to print it but still with a password, first make a password then make permissions for printing and make sure the Printing Allowed is NOT "none"...

#7

The rest: Summary section just summarize the PDF file you want to save from the setting you've used in the first four sections.If you're sure with the settings, hit Save PDF...

#8

Last one... if you get to encounter this dialog, this tells you that this editing capabilities is incompatible with earlier versions of Photoshop. In earlier versions, you must open the PDF as a Generic PDF (not as a Photoshop PDF)... just continue (hit Yes) and never tried no...

#8.5

If you set passwords, you'll get to confirm the passwords before saving.

#10 - Vanishing Point

The 10th Day in Principles of Design and Color Theory

What I've learned today is about Vanishing Point in editing images in Adobe Photoshop. It is all about perspectives during editing. You can insert a lot of images and the place will depend on the object's perspective. Example: You have a picture you want to edit with the walls appear at the left, right, and front of you, and this includes the ceilings and the floor. Then, you'll have to use Vanishing Point to get the perspectives of the walls, the ceiling, and the floor. Then, inserting images during the vanishing point is possible. So, that makes every images inserted is according to the perspective of the walls, floors, and ceilings. It is a lot impressive to me. And, here's my work for Vanishing Point:

"The Vanishing Exhibit"

"Vanishing" It is because that I used Vanishing Point filter tool in Photoshop. "Exhibit" It is because it is an art exhibit anyway. The things I did in this edit: Mainly, I replaced the original artworks in the original photo with my artworks, and also my friend's artworks. I used Vanishing Point to find the perspectives of the front wall, the left wall, and the right wall. Then I replaced and replaced. I just left the reflections in the floor. This edit can be done in Move Tool. But, I used Vanishing Point to find and edit this with perspectives.

#09 - Typography

This is the ninth day in Principles of Design and Color Theory. What I've learned today is about Typography. It is kinda bit surprising that there are a lot of parts of typography such as ascender, descender, base-line, etc. And I've remembered the Serif and the Sans Serif just like back in the 1st semester in Comm. Tech. here's my work for typography:

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will."
--- Romand 12:2

What I did is in some lines: I kern them into the margins left and right. The others are resized. The common words are resized.

#06 - Multimedia File Types and Vectors

The 6th day in Principles of Design and Color Theory.

Multimedia File Types

Images

There are a lot of  file types for images: JPEG, PNG, GIF, PSD, TIFF, BMP, etc. These are commonly used.

• JPEG: Joint Photographic Experts Group. JPEG is commonly used for photography and method of lossy compression. It uses 16.8 million colors. It loses quality but in a smaller file size.
• PNG: Portable Network Graphics. PNG is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless compression. It also uses 16.8 million colors. It stays in its quality but having a large file size.
• GIF: Graphics Interchange Format. GIF is commonly used for animation and it is also known as the moving picture. But it uses 256 colors.
• PSD: Photoshop Save File/Photoshop Document. PSD is commonly used for Adobe Photoshop in editing images/animations by layer to layer. This can be the best file type in editing pictures but only supported in Adobe Photoshop.

Videos

There are also a lot of file types for videos: MP4, AVI, 3GP, MOV, MPEG, WMV, FLV, etc. These are also commonly used for videos.

• MP4: Moving Picture Experts Group 4. MP4 is one of the most common video file types. This is the video counterpart of JPEG. The video has the same quality as JPEG and is lossy. MP4 are also in smaller file size.
• AVI: Audio Video Interleave: AVI is also one of the most common video file types. AVIs are commonly used for burning into DVD recordable disks. It has a right quality, maybe loseless, but in a very high file size that can exceed gigabytes (GB).
• 3GP: 3GPs are commonly from mobile phones. However it has a small file size and low quality but the size and quality is depending on the phone's camera.

Music

MP3, AAC, and OGG are sampled for music file types. MP3 are best known for music types and very most common. Music file types are also embedded in video file types so that makes the video mixed up with music. Without a music, the video doesn't play any sounds just visuals.

Vectors

I've also learned about vectors. Not the vectoring of faces of figures. It is about the shapes in Photoshop. Vectoring is mostly in Adobe Illustrator than Photoshop. In Photoshop, they are just the shapes and texts. Here one of my work for vectoring:

#08 - Kuler and Blending

Kuler

Here's my work for Kuler. It is very impressive using analogous of blue properties with a cool title for such cold concepts.

Colors used:
#2C63E3
#2832D9
#1D7CCC
#15B7E3
#14D9D2

Blending

Here's my work for blending modes. The combination is the two pictures below:

Layer 1

Layer 2

In layer arrangement, Layer 2 is above from Layer 1. I used the blending modes for Layer 2. I used the Linear Light blending mode. So that makes the Layer 2 fused with Layer 1,

#07 - Examining Forms of Brushes and Texts in Pen Tool

Raileys presents:

"Beware of Doge"

TADA!!!

I just combined the things I've learned for today and Such edit Hehe! Lol! ... Well, I've learned about the Brush settings in Adobe Photoshop. Well, I've explored a lot and learned about sizes, hardness and the other settings for the appearance of the brush. It is a lot useful for my experiments in Photoshop in these days. And I've also learned about Text tool through pen tool. So, I've made a triangular texts like what I did to the picture above.

Here's one for blending modes:
