Photoshop for the Macintosh: One Color


Visit Adobe's Home Page


Because Photoshop deals in bitmap images as opposed to vector graphics, we do not recommend using Photoshop to create electronic art. However, if the job meets the criteria below, it may be acceptable. For more information on bitmap images and vector graphics, please view the corresponding section in General Information

  • Results from Photoshop are best when used for single-color, solid logos. Screens can be emulated but cannot be manipulated once drawn.
  • Single color jobs set up in Photoshop must be in either Grayscale or Bitmap mode. Photoshop files that are not saved in either mode will be converted before going into production.
  • When setting up your image, please be aware of the resolution or dpi (dots per inch). We print to film at 1270 dpi. We recommend saving your file at 600 dpi and no less than 300 dpi. Saving at a lower resolution may produce "rough" or bitmapped edges.
  • Please double-check any text layed out in Photoshop. If the resolution is not high enough, the text will turn out "fuzzy" or bitmapped.
