Photoshop – is it me??
Well, I’m totally ignorant of the workings of Photoshop, but I have received the attached file from a client and his designer assures him that the four images I need to print are in there, but all I can find is what looks like placed thumbnails.
I would be grateful if one of you Photoshop gurus out there could have a look and tell me if there is anything in there worth printing.
Thanks.

Saved them as jpgs.
The original quality is pretty poor for the images…not good at a foot high!

John I would say that they are thumbnails also, surely they should have sent you the pictures they wanted printed as a separate file, these images as Dave has said are tiny and not very good quality, looks like you just have a visual of how they want the van to look not something you can work from

Thanks lads.
Those are exactly the conclusions I came to.
I have printed one of the images at the size I need and it is horrible. Blocks about 3mm square. I have told the end user this but his "designer" assures him the images are in the layered photoshop file. I just wanted to check that there wasn’t something I was missing before I refuse to do the job.
Martin, you would have thought just sending the four images would be easy, and that’s what I’ve asked for, but not this idiot. He keeps insisting on sending that file and saying it is fine.

Thing is John, he didn’t send you a Photoshop file – just a rendered Tiff.
If the images were ‘really’ there – it’s have to be the original PSD file to keep the images as a layer.
Maybe request a PSD file…

hmm.. Dell images in the JPEG’s Dave posted

The TIFF is actually layered, so you can turn individual elements on
and off, but it is nowhere near big enough to use for a full size print.See screen grab.

Jamie that screen grab is actually about the right size, when I viewed it at print size I’m sure it wasn’t much bigger than that.
-
Yes, that’s as viewed at 100% on the screen. Surely they can’t expect
you to do a full size van from that?? -
quote Jamie Wood:Surely they can’t expect you to do a full size van from that??
Oh, but they do.
My problem here is that it isn’t the end user who is paying my bill – it’s the leasing company doing that, so technically they are my customer. I don’t want them seeing this job and coming to the conclusion that we turn out crap work. Therefore, as Dave suggests, I am going to request the Photoshop file tomorrow, and if that is no better then I’m going to get a disclaimer in writing, or refuse to do the job.
Thanks for the opinions lads. You have been very helpful. I appreciate it.
