BTW, MXF containers shot on different cameras may have a slightly different structure. They also may differ by the video format. Some cameras shoot in XDCAM, others – XAVC or DNxHD. This is another reason why there are almost no automatic tools that can repair corrupted MXF files. But manual processing is the option to try. Here is a good read on the topic: https://restore.media/blog/repair-corrupt-mxf-files

If you don’t want to share the video with anyone, then you probably need a tool that can repair MXF files automatically, without the need to involve recovery staff. So far as I know, most of the video repair software don’t support MXF files due to their complex structure. The only tool I know that mentions MXF among supported file types is Restore.Media. But I haven’t tried it with MXF files specifically. I used the tool to recover my MP4 files, which had corrupted headers as a result of interrupted recording, and the tool managed to fix them. Might be worth trying it with MXF files as well.

1. First, make sure to shoot the photos with the maximum available resolution that your camera supports. This will help to retain the quality when resizing and then printing them.

2. A standard A4 PDF document in Photoshop has the following size: Width: 8.5, Height: 11, Resolution: 300 pixels/inch.

I recommend that you open a blank A4 document in the Photoshop the following way: File -> New -> Select the “Print” tab in the appeared window -> Choose A4.

3. Now, open the photos you’ve taken with your camera in separate tabs in Photoshop. It’s likely that the photos have a resolution of 72 pixels/inch.

4. Since you’re taking the photos from different distances, they will have different size (resolution). I suggest that you use the smallest picture you’ve got (with the lowest resolution) as a base size for the rest of the photos. In this case, you will be able to reduce the size of the photos with the larger resolution to your base size. This will retain their quality. (I don’t recommend increasing the size of the photos, since this will degrade their quality.)

So, for example, if the size of your smallest picture is 18.69×31.15 inches, then you should reduce the size of the rest of the photos to 18.69×31.15 inches, so that they all have the same size. You may need to crop some photos to fit them within the aspect ratio.

5. Now, just copy each photo and paste it into the A4 document you’ve created on Step 2. Then place them on the document in the order you want.

That’s it, you should be ready to print the document with the photographs.

Note: when doing so, your printed photos almost certainly won’t be in a standard 3X5 size.

Photoshop programs are the same with these two plans.

And yes, this is quite a confusing pricing policy. Here is how these plans differ:

So, as long as you don’t need Creative Cloud Market, you’d better stick with the Photography plan, as it gives you more value and is cheaper.

Here is the official comparison of the plans:
