How to capture an image
September 5, 2010 at 1:35 am Leave a comment
First, open the pdf file with adobe reader. If you don’t have adobe reader, you can download it for free from www.adobe.com
Zoom the image into 375%
(you can drag the sheet with your mouse the get into the circle you want. I want the top left bug, so I drag into that circle)
My screen now looks like this
On photoshop, press ctrl+N (press ctrl and N at the same time)
A box will pop up, with the following..
widht: 1280 pixels
height: 800 pixels
(note: 1280×800 is my monitor resolution)
resolution: 72 pixels/inch
Now, you will need to change the resolution into 300.
So, you will have 300 pixels/ inch (and not 72 pixels/ inch)
After that, click ok
the box will disappear
Press ctrl+V (at the same time)
Now, you will have your circle (from adobe reader) on photoshop.
Click the “elliptical Marquee Tool” from top left tool, or you can simply press “M”
Change the “Style” from normal into “fixed size”, then set widht “1,313” in and height “1,313 in”
click the bug image, and drag the cirlce into the right place of the image,
you will see dot running white (indicating the 1,313” circle)
now, we’re going to copy this circle, press Ctrl+c
press Ctrl+N
a bow will appear, with this..
widht: 393 pixels
height: 393 pixels
resolution: 300
from the drop down menu, you can change the pixels with inches,
when you change it into inches, you will get this size
widht: 1,31 inches
height: 1,31 inches
resolution: 300
click “ok”
we have a new blank document
press “ctrl+V”
you will have your circle on that document
now, we will save this one circle
from “file” menu (on top), choose “save as”, and from the dropdown menu, you can use the type of file you want.
If you want a transparent background, you can save as a “png” file
otherwise (with a white background), you can sace as a “jpg” file
Once you have this one circle (in one png or jpg file), you can import this one circle into microsoft word, or openoffice (or, you can also import it into photoshop), and then you can create a page with these circles on it (just copy paste this one cirlce over and over in a sheet/page)
