Want to set up the artwork for your Audimute custom image panel yourself? These slides will show you exactly how to do that!

1. How to set up artwork
for your own Audimute
Custom Image Panel in
Photoshop
Designer Tips:

2. STEP 1:
Open up Photoshop

3. STEP 2:
Create a new file

4. STEP 3:
Figure out your image size

5. How to do this:
Use inches for your
intended panel size
(ex. 2’x4’ = 24”x48”)
Then add 8 inches to
the width & height
(ex. 24”x48” = 32”x56”)
Finally, enter those
dimensions, then
set the resolution
to 200 pixels/inch
and set the color
mode to CMYK

6. STEP 4:
Set up your template

7. The first 1.5”from the edges are
left completely blank.
Anything in this area will not be
seen anywhere on the image panel.

8. The next .5”is used for bleed.
Make sure this space matches the borders
of your panel. If it doesn’t then there
could be issues on the border of your
panel.

9. The next 2”are for the borders of
your panel.
Typically this area is filled with less
important parts of your image or a color.

10. The rest of the template area is
for the face of the image panel.

11. STEP 5:
Set up your artwork

12. Place your image.
Go to file, then place embedded.

13. Find your image.
Go to where your file is
saved, then click on it,
then click place.

14. Transform & Place
Once your image is in
the template, scale it up
to the bleed line and
apply the transformation

15. Once you
scale your
image up, it
should look
similar to this.

16. Mirrored
Border
Colored
Border
Don’t want to lose
any of your image to
the sides of your
panel, but still want
something nice on
the borders?
In that case we
suggest either
putting a color on the
border or copying
your image and
mirror it over the
sides of your panel.

17. Image Print Quality
Want to get an idea of what your image will look like at print size?
Setting the zoom between 35% – 45% usually gives you a pretty
accurate representation.
If your image does not look as sharp as you would like when you
zoom in then we suggest you either using a bigger image or a
smaller panel.

18. STEP 6:
Save your artwork

19. If you’re
happy with
the way your
image looked
at print size
then right
click on the
image layer
and select
flatten image.

20. Once your
image is
flattened,
save it as a
.jpg, .tiff or
a .pdf

21. That’s All!
Your image is ready to get printed on an Audimute Acoustic Panel now.
