(PSD or Tiff). Grayscale (black & white) images.

All Photoshop Grayscale images must be sent at 100% of imprint size and at least 600 dpi.



im little confused how to se imprin size and 600 dpi?



and i have to get this with no backround, im sorry im new to photoshop and thank for your help <3
 
I am not sure what you mean by "imprint size" but maybe you mean the physical print dimensions? In that case you would go to Image --> Image Size and set the DPI to 600, then set the dimensions to the print size required. If they are large print sizes I hope you have high resolution source material, because 600dpi is very high.

As for removing the backgrounds, there are a number of ways to do it, it depends on what the image looks like and what needs to be removed. In any case, when you have the background removed you can save as PSD and it will stay transparent, or if you use TIF just make sure it has an alpha channel for the transparency.
 
image - > image size i didnt find DPI from there, im using PS cs5.


when the picture is ready _IT WILL BE USED TO BE PRINTED ON PLASTIC_ at the factory ofcourse.

It's the box called Resolution, set it to 600 pixels per inch.

The formal resolution of the picture was 72x72, so its pretty messed up, the image size in inches when printed is only 2x2 inches so does it matter when the picture isnt fully focused?

Ok, but the question is, what will the physical size be of the printed image? (for example 7x7 inches.. or whatever it is)
 
72x72 printed at 600 dpi at 2"x2" will be 1200x1200 pixels.... that is not going to work. You will get a lot of artifacts/pixelation in the image. Can you get a larger source image?
 
i already said, 2 inches widht and 2 inches height.

the are telling me this as how they want the picture

Adobe Photoshop CS4/CS5 (PSD or Tiff). Only for 4-color process (CMYK) or Grayscale (black & white) images.
All 4-color process (CMYK) Photoshop files must be 100% of imprint size and 300 dpi minimum.
_All Photoshop Grayscale images must be sent at 100% of imprint size and at least 600 dpi._

and the picture is black and white so no CMYK
 
This is the picture as in 144x150 pixels.



And i have to do it as they told me to do, when its finished it has to be 2x2 inches, without backround

Ok, luckily you had an image that was easy to convert to a Vector. I used Adobe Illustrator to convert the raster image to vector format which means you can scale it to any size you want without losing details.

Attached below is the PSD format image at 600dpi and 2x2 inches with transparent background and grayscale color.

Here's the result:

I just relized that the picture has to have to white colour, only black, soo i dont know if its possible to change white colours to transparent backround, but thank you very much
 
Sure, that's very easy to do, just open the PSD, grab the Magic Wand tool and set the Tolerance to 0, then click inside each white area and then press Delete on your keyboard.

okay, i got rid off the all white wasnt hard ^^

now how do i save it so it keeps transparent?

and thank you so much for your help!
 
"could not save file "path of the pic" because the file is locked or you dont have necessary acces privileges.
use the "properties" command in the windows explore to unlock the file"
 
Hmm, that sounds like a Windows problem, or maybe the file path is in your temporary internet files if you just opened it from your browser.

Save As and choose Photoshop PSD and save it to a folder on your computer such as My Documents or whatever.
