: Printing a brochure from Photoshop I am making a brochure for my friend's business and I'm using Photoshop. I know InDesign is a much better option for this, however I only have Photoshop
I am making a brochure for my friend's business and I'm using Photoshop. I know InDesign is a much better option for this, however I only have Photoshop and this is so NOT my forte! I don't mess around with design work that actually has to be printed and made to look nice, but she has bugged me for weeks now to help her, so I designed a tri-fold brochure and now I have to print it.
I wanted to print with bleed, but we are too pressed for time now and she wants to print through Staples and have a white border. My question is what do I need to do to my Photoshop file to send it over to Staples for print? I truly don't understand a lot about Photoshop, especially when it comes to converting over to PDF for print. Do I merge all of the layers? Group them together? From what I'm reading, I need to rasterize the layers? Then what...?? I know for most of you these are probably ridiculous questions, but I'm truly in the dark with this stuff! I need all the help I can get!
Thanks so much in advance!

Ensure the dimensions and resolution (PPI) are correct (300ppi), then
File > Save As > Photoshop PDF -> [PDF/X-1a:2001]
You don't need to flatten or rasterize anything.
To avoid unexpected color shifts, you may want to ensure the file in in CMYK color mode prior to doing this and check that colors are still acceptable. If it's not already CMYK, the PDF saving will convert it to CMYK.
