Low resolution photo

I made a high contrast black and white picture of Lindsy Lohan last month and I can't remember how I did it. I wish I had written down how I did it. The cloest thing I can come up with is FilterArtistic/stamp. Is there another slightly less dramatic way to get the "stamp" effect? Below is a watercolor painting I did from the Photoshop (r) image I had created. Thanks in advance, Jim

I mis-titled the thread here, perhaps it should be "high contrast photo". Jim

Low resolution photos

if a low resolution photo looks OK in preview, will it be OK on a purchased book/calendar?
how can I know...print it out?
thanks

sailmom:
How low is the resolution? What size is the photo (in pixels) and what size is the frame it's in (theme used, photos per page, etc.)? I've had some photos that gave me the warning that looked OK but it was just on the edge of the warning size, about 140 dpi.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Help my low resolution photos

I recently attempted to create a photobook at a couple of online websites. After putting together the book, the website indicated that the photos were low resolution photos. I printed the book anyway and it was a disaster. How did this happen? I've spent HOURS trying to put together this project and I don't know where I went wrong. How do I export high resolution photos from Lightroom3?

Hello Jim,
Thank you for your assistance. I am truly grateful.
I export my pictures one at a time because I spend time actually looking at my images while simultaneously learning the LR3 software. Often, I may see several photos within a photo. It is those times that I want to experiment with processing and effects. Once I am happy with an image, I export it and might continue to work on the next 'image' within the same photo.

Low resolution photos from Revel

Hi,
I hope this is the correct forum and that this question has not already been delt. I have search but dont find any solution.
I have decided to stop using dropbox "camera upload" and switch to Adobe Revel.
I seams to work great except for the fact that the photo inside Photoshop elements is a lower resolution than the original taken on my iPhone. This kind of defeats the point to me! Dropbox uploaded the full resolution pic to my PC.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get the original quality version on my PC using Revel. I am not interested in the "social media" side of it it.
My primary use for Revel is to get my FULL / ORIGINAL image inside Photoshop elements. Dropbox, Onedrice and Googledrive do a great job but at the end of the day I still need to import the pictures. Revel just seems cleaner if I can get it to work.
BTW, if I download a photo via the Revel website it is the original so my iPhone is updoading as it should.
Any help will be appreciated
Kind Regards
Jason

Hi Jon,
Thank so much for your reply. That portion I comfortable with, but was thinking I could take photos with my mobile phone and have them sync to a folder on my PC as my originals. I dont want to download photo's from my phone. It does work as desired exept the fact that the photos resolution is lower on the PC than the "originals" on the Revel website.
If I right click on the photo in PE and select "download original from revel" it works, but sort of defeats it purpose in my case.
It seems like Photoshop is not importing the pic at the original resolution. ie to me I would expect a "import original resolution" inside photoshop.
I am using PE12.
I dont like to compare PE revel to apple iCloud, but this is how their software works. If I take a photo on my iPhone its on my mac in full res within minutes to do with as I please. This is what I was thinking Revel could do for me and more. Dropbox, Onedrive and Googledrive all support this, but then I have to import it into PE.
Once again. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated!!
Kind Regards
Jason

If I share an album does the recipient receive lower resolution photos?

Someone shared an album with me. The photos I see on my computer are all very low resolution (39KB). The photos on her phone are higher resolution (1MB). Is there a way for her to share the full resolution photos with me?
Thanks

Sure - email the full resolution photo to you
and possibly other ways but since you tell us nothing about what she has or is doing we can only guess - emailing is the most general way

IPhoto 11 low resolution photo in full screen mode

In the 09 version a low resolution picture is shown full on the screen, but can be a little bit blurry.
In the 11 version the low resolution picture is shown small. How can we change that?

I mean that a low resolution picture is shown as a small picture and can not be viewed as a large picture. In the old version a low or high resolution was shown the same. If it was a low resolution picture it would be a bit more blur. Now the picture is small and a higher resolution picture is shown full screen.
Is this better?

Want to put low resolution photo that was emailed to me on canvas. Can it be saved at higher resolution in elements 10?

I was emailed a photo that I would like to print on canvas, but it is only 746 kb and will be grainy on a large 11x14 or 16x20 canvas. Can it be saved as a higher resolution photo with Elements 10?

Hi,
You may increase the resolution of the photo, but, even with Adobe powerfull rezising algorithm, it is not possible to (re)create details that have disappeared when the photo was shrunk.
The photo will appear blurry.
The best solution is to ask to send you a higher less compressed version of the photo.

Low resolution photos in screen saver

Hi,
I have a question regarding the screen saver in system preferences. Whenever I select one of my iPhoto albums, or a picture folder, to be displayed as the screen saver, the displayed pictures look jaggy and low in resolution. I've checked/unchecked every option in the pref pane, but none of them seem to help. The preset screen savers, like forest and cosmos, look great though. My photos are all 5MP (2592x1944pixels), so I can't imagine that their resolution is what is causing the problem.
Cheers,
Shinbone

Hi, Shinbone. Welcome to the Discussions.
As a guess, it may be from the need to scale down the images to fit your screen resolution, which I suspect is less than 2592x1944.
The images in Cosmos, for example, are 1024x768 pixels.
Good luck!

Camera roll frozen & low resolution photos on 'save image' since 4.1 update

Have a couple of problems with my 3GS since I updated a few days ago to OS 4.1.
The camera roll when accessed from the home screen freezes when I click on any images that I saved from a website using Safari, though any images that I took using the camera can be clicked on and viewed in high resolution.
Also, any saved images using the 'save image' option on Safari from websites are chopped and are of very low quality.
Any suggestions on how to rectify the problems would be much appreciated.
Like I say, this problem has occurred since I updated to OS 4.1.

Did you do any of the basic troubleshooting steps since updating, i.e. restart, reset, restore?

How can i change a low resolution photo into higher one without losing much quality.

I opened a photo and it has a poor quality, how can i fix it to a better one??

You really can't, but there are some tools out there that will do _some_ upsizing.
For example, Genuine Fractals does a pretty good job. You could increase size, then instead of printing at 72dpi (screen resoulion) you could print at 300dpi. Then add things like gausian blurs, sharpening, demozaicing.. ect...
But as Dorin said, it will not be good becuase you can't create what isn't there. But sometimes with a LOT of work, you can create the illusion that something might be better...
Cheers!

I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they come up in camera roll as low resolution. How do I fix this?

I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they have very low resolution. First I sent them from iPhoto with highest resolution, then I transferred them to my desktop in highest resolution and added them to an email, opened the email and saved to my Camera roll. They all look like low resolution photos.This is the exact method I have used to transfer photos in the past with my 4S and never had a problem. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bad camera? HELP please! Thank you!

My husband has the same phone, we purchased them at the same time. I sent him the same photos in the same email that I downloaded them from and on his phone they show up with the normal higher resolution. Is it possible that there is something wrong with my iPhone or is there a setting that can be changed? I'm still learning to use it. All my other photos are of normal resolution. Does this make any sense to anyone?
Please help!

Low resolution on photo in iphoto

does anyone know how to overide the low resolution error message i get when trying to purchase a book via Iphoto

Scary problem! Old photos suddenly dark, low resolution.

Going through some old pictures I've just noticed that 3-4 sets from 4 years ago have become very dark and lower resolution.
The weirdest part is that they are not complete "sets" -- that is, the darkness seems to in random groups of certain sets (i.e., the first 3-4 are okay, followed by 20 dark/low rez images, followed by 2-3 'normal' images).
I tried zapping the PRAM, as I read that resolved a similar issue. And I repaired permissions.
No dice.
Any thoughts? What I'm afraid of is this happening to all my photos.
Note that I upgraded from a 12" G4 to an iMac two years ago, and imported all those photos. I also upgraded to 10.6 about 8 months ago.
But I just noticed this now -- not sure when it happened.
HELP!

Thanks much for the tips. I calibrated per your suggestion and killed the pref file -- still have several batches of very dark, low resolution photos that weren't that way before.
Weird.

Low resolution on stills in imovie

I uploaded stills (high resolution) into iMovie, but the short movie (made with the stills) has a very bad resolution (the colors are unsaturated, grainy, etc) and it's worst when I export it in You Tube or Quick Time.

Old, low resolution pictures in iPhoto

Are there any techniques for viewing old, low resolution photos decently once their imported into iPhoto? Preview and other image viewers just open a version small enough to be clear, but in iPhoto they come out pixelated and blurry.

Hi Tom
you might find this suggestion strange (so would you peter), launch which ever editing app. you are using and click on "fill the screen". since i was using elements, it filled the screen enough not to see pixelation. i then took a picture of that image using "snapndrag" and the resulting image nearly tripled in size. at least enough to print/view.
I said that this suggestion is strange because just recently, my sister and mother went to visit her ailing uncle(mothers' brother) in california. the camera they took along had its setting from max resolution reset to the lowest by a family member. as a result, the final image turned out to be 3.5in x 2.5in. instead of 26in x 35in. so printing is out of the question and any detail in the faces is bare minimum. so i took a chance and used the "snapndrag" app. and the result was a large enough image that i can see and print.
