In a world full of 8×10′s, 5×7′s and wallets, sometimes you just need a print size that isn’t available in JD’s ROES software.
For example, say you need a 10×14″ print. In ROES, the next size up is 10×15″. The easiest solution is to make a new empty white 10×15″ @ 250-300 dpi file in Photoshop, drag your image into the file, then add the text “trim” to the top and bottom 1/2 inch. Order the file in ROES as a 10×15″ print, and a 10×14″ print will arrive at your door.
What if you don’t use Photoshop? We’ve still got you covered.
Start by looking in ROES for the next larger print size. Open the product, but instead of dragging the image in, use the “Draw” pager tool to create a new image node.
In this example, start with the 10×15″ product, then draw a 10×14″ image node on top of it. Change to the text tool, create 2 text boxes, then click the “Edit” tool in pager. Drag and drop the image into the node. Change the text to “Trim” in both text nodes, and order the print.
Using either Photoshop or ROES built-in pager tool, you can create virtually any size print. Since our photo printers go up to 30×132 inches, there is virtually no print size you cannot offer your clients.
