Hello John,
Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate your time in helping me understand how to activate title safe guides within photoshop.
When you do file - new, you get at least on Windows, a window that has a custom preset at the top with an arrow that pulls down when you click it and all the presets are there, including down toward the bottom, the ones called (with guides). These are the ones you want.
I have been using images at 300 dpi for my TV slideshows and now I am lost as to what the best scanning resolution is for video slideshows. I have used the preset: PAL D1/DV 720 x 526 (with guides), and using the copy and paste, I've imported an image that was 300 dpi. Sure enough it was giant when I pasted into the new document with guides, at 72.
Any attempt to change the 72 dpi and the preset becomes a cutom preset and I loose the guides. Does this mean that for TV you only need image to be 72 dpi?
The method I have been using from start to finish is as follows:
1. Scan photo at 300dpi
2. Save image as a jpeg then crop and lighten till satisfied
3. Import into Final Cut Pro and add transitions
4. Export FCP file to Compressor and Compress file
I'd like to be in complete control and know what I will be able to view, at the best resolution, without any unwanted cropping or distortion.
If you could please help that would be much appreciated
Thanking you,
