![]() ![]() ![]() Example:ġ0m/4 = 250cm, and 20m/4 = 500cm means that scaling down the width and height should be a proportional decreasing process or its a reduced document size Version of the original print size with the same proportions. ![]() ![]() Note that : if you are going to divide a 10 x 20 meters banner by the same number the resulting document size will be proportional. To have a better understanding, scaling down the document size, is an equal division of the real width and height of the billboard or the big banner you are planing to create. Now let’s explain how to scale down and simplify big mesurements by giving examples on how to create reduced size documents in Adobe illustrator as its a popular software among graphic designers for its vector art in which resizing does not affect resolution quality. Note that : the more you increase the number of pixels per inch “ppi” the more your file size becomes larger and vice versa.Įxample : in photoshop if you set the Resolution to it’s maximum which is 9999,999 ppi, the width and height of your document will be limited to 30 x 30 inches and your image size will be 335,5 Gigabytes.Īfter knowing the limits of the document in both Adobe illustrator, and Photoshop softwares we determine that it’s important to take into account the hardware performances before we setup the document.Īnd we conclude from this that graphic design for giant ads and billboards is often created in a reduced document size before we send it to print machines.Īnd if we are planing to work on large print sizes we should always scale down the size of the image or the document to prevent any technical ( software ,or hardware issues ) and to save time and hard disk space. To controle the image size in photoshop, simply you reduce or increase the “ppi” the number of pixels per inche of your document. This limitation may vary on better hardware performances, but for many reasons its a good thing to keep the size of your image in between 300 and 400 Megabytes. Note that : on Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83 Ghz configuration, the speed of the computer start to slow down when creating a document with more than 350 Megabytes in image size. So try always to keep your image size under 400 megabytes in Adobe Photoshop. So we can consider that photoshop width and height limits are beyond the normal needs of any graphic designer.īut there is a limit at the level of file size or the image size, and as an advice never let your image or document size exceed more than 400 megabytes especially if you are going to work on retouching and photo manipulations, because if your document image size is more than 400 megabytes you wont be able to fastly apply modification on your image and this gonna slow down the software functionalities and your computer speed. So if you set the resolution in Photoshop to 1ppi then you can set a maximum document size of 7620 meters which is 300000 inches in both width and height. Unlike illustrator, Photoshop image pixel dimension width and height limit is 300000p.īut width and height limits in inches are related to ( the number of pixels per inch or ppi ) B- Photoshop CS6 file size limits related to computer speed: So you should prevent this, because you can create high quality graphics for print in illustrator by working on reduced sizes or what we call “scaled size document”.įor example if you are going to create just a 6.0 x 2.0 feets Vinyl banner then you can set your document directly to the actual size with no problem, but if you are planning to create a banner or billboard that is more than 5 meters or 16 feets in width or height then surely you should work it on a reduced document size. The width and height limit in Adobe illustrator CS6 is “227,54” inches, or 577,95 cm, and 16383 pixels.Īnd it means that you can’t create a document size of more than 18 feets or 5.70 Meters in illustrator cs6, and this is one of the limitations you should keep in mind, because logically if you set the document size to the limit in adobe illustrator you’ll figure out that the speed of your computer is going to be slower and in each time you apply any effect like shadows or glows, your computer will take a long time to render the effects. A- illustrator Cs6 Document width and height limits: Most designers and print specialists are working on Adobe softwares especially Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to create graphics, so we will explain the maximum document size limits that you can reach with illustrator and photoshop to create good quality graphics for big print sizes and without using too much the hardware resources of your computer. 1- Document size limit related to hardware performances : ![]()
