IPhoto09 Specify exact pixel dimensions

In IPhoto09 when I selected File>Export and then Custom Size I could specify one pixel dimension

File -> Export: In the dialogue you have an a Size heading.
In the dropdown select 'Custom'
Note the Dimension dropdown, there you can select the size in width, length or dimension

Cannot crop to an exact pixel dimensions

I am having a hard time cropping to an exact pixel dimensions upon export. For my work, I need to crop to exactly 2166X1600, with a tolerance of no more than one pixel off of those dimensions, i.e. 2166X1599.
I set crop tool to 2166X1600 and crop all of my images. On the export I constrain to largest dimension of 2166 in both horizontal and vertical directions. Results vary widely from right on 2166X1600 to several pixels off on the short side. Sometimes more than 1600, and sometimes less. Any thoughts as to why these constraints do not work exactly? Some sets of images I have to redo as many as 25% of a gallery of 200-300 images. Any thoughts? Thanks!

See, I don't need to crop the original image to 2166X1600. I need a finished image at 2166X1600. Meaning, in theory I should be able to crop an image to 1:1.35375 ratio, which is 2166X1600, and export to constrain to 2166 on the longest side. When it's constrained to 2166, the short side should always be 1600.
Here's where the problem is... When you set the crop window to 2166X1600, you expect that when you size your crop on your image that the only options for the boundary are multiples of 2166X1600. In reality, the crop visual boundaries are approximate. Here's an example...
I have an image that I have cropped to a finished size of 3185X2350. Which is based upon a 2166X1600 crop. When I export it, I need the 3185 to become 2166. So the long side is constrained to 2166, and it is reduced by a factor of 1.47. 3185/2166=1.47 If I reduce the short side, 2350, by that same factor of 1.47 you end up with a short side of 1598. Which is why I have a problem.
My invalid assumption was that when you set specific pixel dimensions in the crop tool, that only those values would be shown in the crop tool's bounding box. Photoshop can do it...

Specify exact pixel and file size

Hello,
I have recently purchased Photoshop Elements 4.0 for Windows for a company project. I need to compile a number of outdoor photographs to be uploaded to a specific website. The photo specifications required by the website are that all photos must in JPG format, be 350 pixels across and no more than 40kbs in file size. I've been experimenting with photoshop to try and achieve this effect, but am wondering if there is a simple way to accomplish this. I have been able to adjust horizontal pixel number, which automatically adjusts vertical pixel number and photo size. When I save photos, I am able to adjust what I assume is the resolution of the photo. If there is not too much color contrast in the photo, I can sometimes reduce the file size to 40kbs by taking it as low as it will go, but not always. I was just wondering if there is a simple way to make sure that a photo will be saved with a specific pixel number and no more than a certain file size (40kbs). I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

You can also set the pixel dimensions in S4W and save a step. Just enter the size you want in the box about halfway down the right panel, and then click Apply. Then you can optimize the file size by clicking the right-facing arrow at the upper right of the panel and choosing Optimize to file size. You can specify the exact size you want. Just watch the preview to be sure the quality is good enough at the target size.

Specify pixel dimensions of project?

I'm very inexperienced with video editing. I'm trying to make a simple video for the web in Premiere which syncs images and an audio track. I've used AfterEffects and I'm experienced in Flash and Photoshop. I'm pretty lost in Premiere, though. How do I specify the pixel dimensions of my sequence? I want 800x450. Since I intend deployment to be the web, what other options should I specify? I assume I need to specify square pixels and a web/screen color space somewhere?
Thanks.

Pixel Dimensions of Cropped Photo

I cropped a photo and placed it into a Photoshop elements file, along with other shapes and text. I would now like to swap out that photo with a different one of exactly the same size and proportion. Where can I see the exact pixel dimensions of that cropped photo?

In Editor, go to Edit>preferences>units and rulers. Next to rulers in the dropdown, select pixels
On the program's top tool bar, go to Window and check info in order to access the info palette
Next, access the rectangular marquee tool, and in the tool's option bar select mode:normal
Trace the picture inside the frame with the rectangular marquee and read the pixel dimensions.
HTH.

Pixel dimensions of screen?

Im making a slideshow of photos and want to use iMovie. Anyone know the exact pixel dimensions of the screen so i can make the images fit?
Thanks in advance.

It all depends on what you mean by "make the images fit".
iMovie 4 accepts any photo with a 4:3 aspect ratio, e.g. 1600 x 1200, and resizes it to fill the iMovie frame.
But that's not true with iMovie HD. iMovie HD pillarboxes a 4:3 image imported to a DV-type project -- adds black bars to the right and left sides. If you are okay with that, then virtually any photo with a 4:3 ratio will be fine.
If you don't want pillarboxing, however, you have to 1) crop the image to some other aspect ratio before importing to iMovie HD; or 2) increase the Ken Burns zoom so Ken Burns crops the image.
(Pillarboxing may not be a problem if you plan to view the slideshow on a 4:3 TV. The black bars may be hidden by the TV Safe Area. But if you plan to view it in QuickTime or on a widescreen TV, you may want to avoid the black bars.)
Lots more here:

Is there any way to batch change resolution, but not pixel dimensions?

I was changing the resolution of my digital photos from 180 to 300 ppi individually as I edited them, but sometimes I would forget. Since I need the higher resolution for printing, I decided to automate that step by using PSE's "Process Multiple Files" feature. I noted that the Resolution selection was grayed out until I checkmarked "Resize Images." Since I didn't want to change the number of pixels, I left those fields blank.
When I started the automated processing I noticed it was terribly slow, so I cancelled it and looked at the resulting files. They had more than doubled in file size because PSE was nearly doubling the Pixel Dimensions! I don't want to try a work-around by "resizing" to the current pixel dimensions, because the processing still takes about 45 seconds per file, and if I've cropped the photos, the pixel dimensions vary. Is there an automated way to change only the resolution in PSE . . . quickly?
Also, I really wanted to double the resolution from 180 ppi to 360 ppi, but PSE limits my choices to either 600 or 300 or less. I've read about Scripts, but I don't think PSE supports them. I have version 6.
Thanks for some help.

Thanks for your input, and you may be right, but I'm not sure. I'm still trying to figure this out. I know it's the same photo on my monitor, but I keep reading that print resolution (ppi) is different from pixel resolution (i.e. 2000x3000.) This is my situation-- I'm sending the photos to a publisher for printing in a book. The publisher did not specify a size in inches--in fact I think the photos will be different sizes when printed on the page. They told me to send the photos in at 1600x1200 pixels. I've heard that 300 ppi is the standard resolution for publishing, so to get decent quality printing of my photos I thought I should increase the resolution from 180 to 300. But thinking about the different sizes, it seems that the resolution (ppi) will change depending on the size the photo is actually printed. At 300 ppi, a 1600x1200 photo will be printed at size 5.333" X 4". If a photo is printed full bleed on the cover of the book that is 8" x 10.667", then it will be 150 ppi. So, I guess you are right that I don't need to worry about the ppi resolution for the book photos.
Now, let me figure about what I need to print my own 4x6 photos. My digital camera was set to 16x9 jpg, so my workflow is to make PNG copies to work with and after editing, save them in the 16x9 format before cropping at 1600x1200 pixels, then sharpening before doing Save As jpg in Book folder. I was thinking I needed to change the resolution to 300 ppi when saving in the 16x9 format so if I want to later make 4x6 prints, I'll have good quality prints. But you have made me think a little harder--what I do is choose the 4x6 crop tool which takes care of whatever ppi resolution is needed for that size print. Oh good, you have saved me extra work. Thanks!
(BTW, I choose the 16x9 format because I was planning to use the photos in a widescreen slideshow, but my husband wanted something he could hold in his hand--hence, the book . . . and a lot of cropping!)

Where is it possible to batch process the size of images?--I am able to change pixel dimensions in image processor but not image size in inches.

Hi- I need to batch process images for video project. I am able to change the pixel dimensions in the image processor but don't seem to have the option to change image size in inches. Please advise! Thanks

You don't need inches for video (or screen viewing in general). It all goes by pixel count. Inches is for print, nothing else.
But to answer the question, you can run actions in the Image Processor, and this is where you set size in inches. Just bring up Image Size, uncheck "resample image", and specify size. You'll notice resolution changes to reflect the fact that the existing image pixels are now redistributed over the new print size.
But again, screen doesn't care about size or resolution. It only counts pixels.

Export JPG at 100% is reducing the pixel dimensions ??

Im using the most up to date Lightroom (5.5) on a Mac running os 10.9.4.
In the not too distant past (i've only been using Lightroom since April) I have been able to export my processed images to full sized jpegs. This refers to the physical dimensions....not the amount of data.
Now i cannot figure out why, but Lightroom has started to shrink my jpegs. My test image was 4665x4000 pixels and a month ago Lightroom exported the jpg at exactly those dimensions. Since then something has changed (probably an update!) and when i now try to export the same image its reducing the output dimensions to 1985x1702 !!
My export settings are set to jpeg 100% Quality, resize options are switched off. Limit File size is switched off.
I have trashed the Lightroom and Photoshop prefs.
Whats going on??
I need to export these files at full dimensions but Lightroom seems to be ignoring its own settings!
help!!
Adam

Hi DJ,
agreed - and thats what used to happen. I think it stopped working that way when i had to reinstall all the adobe apps when CC14 came out.
The photo is cropped - but that should not matter. The file being saved is still half the size of the cropped image. And when i did this a month ago, it recreated the exact same dimensions in the jpgs and not just once - every time. Now i cannot get it to work at all.
This composite grab shows the export dialogue, you can also see the images correct dimensions in the metadata section, and on the right is the file this dialogue created - less than half the dimensions it should be!

Resize intensity image based on pixel dimensions

Hi,
I want to resize an intensity graph to an exact pixel-by-pixel size, but I do not see this option anywhere. Right now I need to create a 257x256 intensity graph on the front panel, but I have no idea how to do this. Does the graph automatically reshape the viewable area based on the dimensions of the 2d array that I provide it?
Thanks,
Anthony

Hello,
There is an intensity graph property available called Plot Area: Size which will set the plot area (width and height) in pixels - I think this is exactly what you are looking for. Attached is an example of this in version 7.1, otherwise you can just right click the intensity graph on your block diagram and Create -> Property Node, and then use the operating tool on the property node to select the noted property.

Determining accurate pixel dimensions from screenshots

So, this is a bit of a strange question. Essentially, the company I work for has a large social media presence and is worried about how certain images display on mobile vs desktop. There are a ton of guides out there providing the optimal image sizes, but many lack any mobile image dimensions.
My answer was to take screenshots of each platform to determine the optimal size. However, when I use the marquee tool to measure width and height, my pixel dimensions are very different; especially the ones from my phone.
For example, Facebook says an ideal profile picture is 160 x 160 pixels. I took a screenshot on my Macbook Pro and what I measured was 150 x 150 pixels exactly and my mobile screenshot shows 212 x 212 for the picture.
While the aspect ratio is same (1:1), I'd just like to understand why my monitor screenshots are giving me a different number.; especially because I've been reading that ppi has no bearing on web based images anyway and that 160 pixels should display the same regardless of ppi.
To put it simply, is there a way to accurately determine the sizes of these images via screenshots or am I shooting in the dark for a solution like this?
Thanks in advance!

Show pixel dimensions when cropping

The current crop tool allows one to specify the aspect ratio of a crop. It would be useful (to me, at least) to have a display of the actual pixel dimensions of the resulting crop. I can guess by eye, but sometimes I want to be sure that I do not go below some size.

GrizzlyAK wrote:
Yeah, there are LOTS of ways the Crop Tool could be improved, but here it is almost 2011 and LR3+ and nothing has changed since users started complaining back in 2007.
You'll notice that this was from very few users (1, in this thread). Most people just don't find a need for this.
Cropping while zoomed in is a much more popular request.

Pixel dimensions & document size

Why do the pixel dimensions change the document size when the "resample image
" box is selected? I want the pixel size to be 2400 x 3000 and the image size to be 8 x 10in.
Any ideas why I can't change the pixel dimensions without the system changing my document size to something other than the 8x10 that I want? Thanks!

Because that's exactly what "resample image" means.

Probably because your document is not 8x10 aspect ratio to begin with. If the photo is not 8x10 aspect ratio, then resize will not get you there (unless you want to distort your photo). You must first crop your image to 8x10 aspect ratio, and then if necessary resize.

How to change the pixel dimension height?

I need to fix the pixel dimension height "768" for tiff images via scripting. Kindly advise me how to change the height for the images.

i am using vb.net i can't able to fix exact width and heigth for my below code
appref.Preferences.RulerUnits = Photoshop.PsUnits.psInches
docref = appref.Open(CheckerPath.Path & \" & InputFile_From_Illust)
TiffSv.ImageCompression = Photoshop.PsTiffEncodingType.psTiffLZW
docref.SaveAs(IllustFolder + "\" + IllustFile.Name, TiffSv)
docref.ChangeMode(DestinationMode:=Photoshop.PsChangeMode.psConvertToRGB)
TiffSv.EmbedColorProfile = False
Dim heg, wid As Double
heg = 768 / 300
wid = 576 / 300
docref.ResizeImage(wid, heg, Resolution:=300)
But its fixing width as 0.46 and height as 0.613 why its happen i don't.
please advise me.

Matching InDesign and Photoshop Pixel Dimensions

I'm attempting to use InDesign to determine pixel sizes of a baseline grid and typography that will eventually be used on a webpage. Since Photoshop doesn't have a baseline grid or a baseline grid snapping feature, I thought I might be able to make something work in InDesign.
Unfortunately I'm running into a problem, where pixel dimensions in InDesign don't seem to match up with pixel sizes in Photoshop. For example, with documents at 100% view in both Photoshop and InDesign, a 100px square appears larger on screen in InDesign than in Photoshop. It's as if InDesign is rendering the view at a different resolution than Photoshop.
Above you can see a square made at 42 pixels in InDesign viewed at 100% zoom (though InDesign insists on displaying the size as points) with the same square screen-captured and opened in Photoshop. The square is actually measured at 54 pixels.
How can I get InDesign to display the same pixel sizes as Photoshop?

True enough on both counts! Relative resolution and scaling is definitely helpful for print design (I learned early on what scale to view in order to preview onscreen at what would be actual physical size--the reverse of double-clicking the zoom tool now, I guess.)
But I see no reason why we can't have it both ways. Isn't that the whole point of "web" or "Digital Publishing" intent in document setup? Why not have Indesign switch to 1-1px scale when you create a document set to web intent? Wouldn't be any different, functionally, than what the script does, it would just revert to physical scale when I open a print document. Seems like it should be obvious that the preview scale when creating a web site should be 1 pixel is 1 pixel--my browser isn't going to display my website at 123.7% scale. Or that if you chose the "iPad" digital pub template, the display scale should be twice that of a (theoretical) Retina display iPad. It's functionally just a different number, right? That is, if I were writing a script, I could theoreticall specify any resolution I wanted to get the desired display scale.
Ok, so now I'm turning this into feature request, I know, and the question has been thoroughly answered. But it needn't be that complicated--all we really need is a place to CHOOSE what mode to opperate in, right? If Adobe really prefers not to open the output-intent-view-scale can o' worms, then why not leave an Acrobat-style resolution preference where I can type in a number? The obvious advantage of that over the script solution is that it's easy to set or reset.
Aside: while we're on the topic of having it both ways in regards to using Indesign for more than print work... Why not include the option to set the document color profile (most likely to sRGB) when I choose "web" intent in a new document dialog? Oh! And give me actual RGB black and white color swatches in "web" documents.
I'm just excited about the idea of Adobe taking a few more steps in the direction they've started with the whole document intent feature set in Indesign. A more inviting web design environment wouldn't in any way keep me from continuing to use Indesign for print work (all day every day). What is there to lose? Not like they're developing Fireworks anymore, and Indesign already makes more sense for web than Illustrator. ... I'm sure it's a HUGE internal debate at Adobe. Probably some Fireworks replacement app in the works that I don't know about.
