Saving as a photo with printing marks to hard drive

Hi Guys,

 

I would like to know if it is possible to save my file to my hard drive with the printing marks to then emial to a magazine companny? I know I go to print under file, I can print with the prinitng marks on a paper. But, I want to save to my hard drive instead. There is no way to selec that.

 

Now, If I go to the save or save a copy, I don't have options to include the printing marks on them. I'm saving these as a Photoshop PDF with Press quailty setting. Nothing for adding printing markers or bleed marks.

 

Can this be done in Photochop? I have the newest version PS on a  M2 Pro macbook pro.

You need to use InDesign for that. Photoshop doesn't have this function.

@D Fosse you can on a Mac here's how @Thomasjcolbert 

Go to print menu and choose all the features you want to show: Scale, crop marks, etc.

The key (for Mac) is to then go to Print. A secondary window will appear on Mac OS allowing you to save as a PDF.

This includes all your crop marks, etc.

After choosing PDF it will ask where you want to save your PDF - choose your HD.

Got it. As it turns out, you can in fact do that on Windows too.

 

I knew about print to PDF, but I hadn't noticed you could set printer's marks from the print dialog. Learn something new every day.

 

Mind you, I'd still do that from InDesign - but if you don't have that, this is a possibility.

Humbled that I taught you something @D Fosse after you've schooled me plenty of times with color management, etc. Glad to return the favor!

There should be no need to do so for images, this is intended for pages.

@Stephen_A_Marsh either way, Photoshop does allow you to add color bars, crop marks, etc.

100% Kevin, no debate on the feature to add such marks, I'm just noting that for image submission for a magazine, this shouldn't be necessary.
