Pixel dimensions for iPad wallpaper

I want to set a background wallpaper for my iPad that won't be cropped or otherwise distorted to fit the screen. In the past all that was required was to pad an image to the appropriate proportions in photoshop, but when I created an image to be precisely the pixel dimensions of the iPad3 screen, 2048x1536, attempts to set it as wallpaper still resulted in the the wallpaper settings blowing it up.
Is there any pixel size at which the bug-ridden iOS7 will not attempt to blow it up, ruining the image?
Or is there a set degree of enlargement it uses, like forcing everything to be double, that I can use to pad an image so the forced crop results in the final image being correct?
I'm really tired of the seeing my wrecked images every time I wake the iPad. And no, I have no interest whatsoever in Apple's screenshots.

What Is The Best Image Pixel Dimensions For iPad 2 Photographs?

I just purchased an iPad 2 64Gb. I want to add photographs to my iPad. I want the photographs to completely fill the screen but still be small enough to use the minimum amount of memory space. A smaller image size will also make them more responsive when navigating between images.
Does anyone know the image pixel dimensions that I should use to have the photographs completely fill the iPad screen? I am assuming a resolution of 72 pixels per inch is sufficient because the screen is essentially a video screen.
Thanks!
Bill

1024-by-768 is the size of the screen.

Pixel dimensions for still images

Hello all,
I have just ran into a problem that seems to be a sizing problem with Final Cut Express HD. I used to crop my still pics to 1366 px - 768 px (for landscape) and then import them to FCE and export as a quicktime movie. When I brought the quicktime movie into iDVD and created the DVD it seemed to play great on my 46" Samsung tv -- full screen.
I just recently bought a Samsung 60" and when I create the same type of movies, I am getting a huge black border around the whole image (not just top and bottom but sides too). I tried creating a new movie and made all my still images 1920px x 1080 px, and it still comes out the same way.
I can stretch my tv so that they go full screen, but I think there should be a way to create the movie without having to stretch it....just have the tv set for 16:9, and I feel that it should work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks.
Norm

When you create a DVD, no matter what the pixel dimensions of your original material, it become 720x480 Standard Definition. This is what a DVD is. If you are creating a DVD that has material that is 16x9, then it creates a DVD that is 720x480 but plays back anamorphic, stretching to create the 16x9 screen.
If you play one of your older DVDs that played correctly on your previous TV, does it play correctly or does it also exhibit the black bars?
If it plays correctly then something has changed in the way you are creating your project in FCE.and encoding and burning the DVD.
If the older DVDs also exhibit the same playback problem, then I believe there is a menu setting on your new TV that will tell it how to display Standard Definition material from your DVD player, and you need to adjust that. (There are also settings in the set-top DVD player that tells it what kind of signal to send based on the what kind of display it is hooked up to.)

What are the pixel dimensions for creating an Apple ibook book cover?

I'm trying to create a book cover for Apple ibooks, what are the pixel dimensions requirements?

Thanks again.
Apple seems to have made it more confusing than it should be.
As an aside, the Apple documentation contradicts itself.
Cover art (also known as a marketing image or jacket) should be at least 1400 pixels along the smaller axis and must be a JPEG or PNG file in RGB Color mode.
This clearly says the shorter side must be at least 1400 pixels. The next sentence says this:
For an average trade paperback, this could be 400 x 1400 minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide.
That doesn't make sense, seeing that the shorter side is supposed to be at least 1400 pixels, meaning it should say "1400 x 4900" for the same aspect ratio.
...I did notice this too.
So, if as you say, that the Cover Art and Cover image terms are the same and the 2 million limit does not apply, then it is unclear to me why Apple sent this message to me about cover file being rejected
"Action Required: Your book could not be delivered to the iBookstore.
The following images are larger than two million pixels and must be resized:
Full ePub: Cover_xyz.jpg "
I'll probably need to have the cover file in epub and Cover Image for Asset in iTunes Producer be named differently (but be copies of the same file) so I can understand which one is the "problem" file.
And finally, why does Apple refer to Cover Art twice here and then end in last sentence with Cover Image if they are the same ( and if they are the same why not state "this cover image").
"Cover art (also known as a marketing image or jacket) should be at least 1400 pixels along the smaller axis and must be a JPEG or PNG file in RGB Color mode. For an average trade paperback, this could be 400 x 1400 minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide. For best results, deliver the largest pixel dimensions possible. When possible, match cover art to the cover contained in the book file. The 2 million pixel maximum does not apply to the cover image".

Pixel dimensions for stills in FPCX?

For use in a FCPX HD project, at what ppi do you recommend scanning? Then do you recommend taking it into photoshop? At what pixel dimensions do you recommend saving it -- and in what format -- jpeg or tiff? Thank you!

Andy, I'm not disagreeing with you at all and I fully understand how it works. I'm just not articulating myself properly. I'm only talking about setting the scanner software for best results. When you scan, you set the dpi and the size of the scanned document being scanned. The size of the scanned document on the scanner is a physical size (inches). The combination of the scanned size (inches), the dpi setting and the scale factor controls the resulting pixel dimensions. The scale factor should always be 100% for best quality.
When you scan a document you can't control the physical size of the document. It is what it is. So you need to select the physical size of the document on the scanner bed (in inches). Then to get the correct pixel dimensions, you need to select the correct dpi for the scanner to use. See my example in Epson Scan software.
If you choose a different dpi in the scanner SW, then the resulting image will need to be scaled after the scan is complete to get the correct "target" pixel dimensions. If you scale after scanning, you are either creating or destroying pixels. Better to set the correct dpi before scanning.
Note that the scale factor in my example below is 100%. That means the correct pixel dimensions will be captured natively from the scan and not modified after the fact.
I agree once you have the image scanned, the dpi becomes irrelevent. But it does matter to the scanner software.

Pixel dimensions for WebCam NX

Pixel dimensions for stills.

I am doing a thing with stills, want highest quality in the end. Do I rez down the files, and to what siz?
Thanks

One of the habits I've seemed to a have developed over the years (paranoid?) is initially importing all of my digital assets (photos, movies, etc) onto an external hard drive connected to my desktop computer. THEN I import those assets into iPhoto. It then makes it easy to use those photos, movies, etc in other application and also to avoid this "glitch" in iPhoto and iMovie. Seems to me this a bug waiting to be fixed.

Pixel resolution for slide show photos

Hello all,
What is the best pixel dimensions for doing a slide show to be watched on a hd lcd tv? I just did some at 1366 x 768 that seemed to work pretty well, but maybe the files don't even have to be this big...
Also I have a few photos that really flicker in the slide show...is there a way to eliminate this flicker?
Thanks,
Norm

Hello Tom,
Thanks for the info. My tv that I will be playing the dvd on is 1366 x 768, so my question is what is your reason for making the images 1280x720? Won't this make my images smaller on my tv or do they get resized?
I will try the blur in Photoshop and see if that corrects the flicker problem.
I tried the Flicker filter but I'm not sure if it even got applied to the problem images. I selected the image in the time line and then went up to filter and selected flicker...does this automatically apply when these steps are performed?
Thanks again.

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import? Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...

At the top of this forum there are popular links listed on the right, including image sizing etc. Be sure to study those existing/previous threads on this topic.
Good luck.

Ipad 3 Pixel Dimensions

2048x1536 is a 4x3 pixel dimension just like 1024x768.
If I watch HD movies(1280x720 or 1920x1080) on an iPad the picture should have to display letterboxed(black bars on the top and bottom) unless the image is cropped to fill the screen.
Am I missing something?

Pixelated images from iPhoto for iPad

iPhoto for iPad is a fantastic application, but very often although the images I edit look ok within the application, when I look at them in any other application (including apple's own built in photo browser) they are heavily pixelated, or some parts of them are missing altogether. The same thing happens when I beam or email said photos to my Mac.
I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app, I even went so far as to restore my iPad (non jail broken iPad 2, 64Gb, WiFi+3G, running iOS 5,1,1) from a backup, but the problem persists.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Chris

Dah.veed
In the Photo app on the iPad in the Photos tab > Edit I can select pix, but the red Delete button is greyed out??? Puzzled.
Is there any other way to delete a range of pictures or an Album in the Photo app (or in the iPhoto for iPad app)???
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Scanned handwriting in Tiff - DPI/pixel dimensions requirements for Printing

Namaste'
I am preparing to have a book printed of my Teacher's sayings in His own handwriting from His diaries.
The sayings were in ballpoint pen and some 20 years old.
We scanned them by a Greyscale hand scanner in 300dpi.
I have since cleaned and cropped them, so the 300 dpi standard is no longer there.
Since they are old, done with ball pen and not very thick, it is not realistic to take them "out" of their context, so they are on white background.
When I look at the scans info, it says 400dpi (the handwriting and the white background) but when I look at what the pixel dimensions say, they are all under 1 mb, mostly in the 300's to 700's k.
I do not understand this.
I was told 240dpi smallest.
What is the relation of pixel dimension to dpi? And how do I know this is enough?
Can anyone help clear this up for me?
When I take them down to the local printer and run them on their machine,for testing, the images look fine.
I am using PSCS3.
Thank you.

When I scan linework art like signatures, handwriting, pen-and-ink drawings, etc., I set the scanner for 2400 PPI at print size, 1-bit/lineart/monochromatic/bw mode (your scanner software should call it one of these, the important bit is that it is NOT greyscale mode).
The reason for this is most imagesetters and platesetters output at either 2400 or 2540 DPI, so scanning at or close to the output resolution provides the crispest appearance. If you are outputting to a laser printer or other desktop device you could scan at its output resolution, 600 for example, but a 2400 PPi 1-bit file is not large at all so why not "future proof" your scans so if you get them professionally output later they are at maximum quality.
Using a 1-bit file eliminates any soft edges as you would have with a greyscale image, and 1-bits can easily be made to have a transparent background so placing them into a layout is a piece of cake.
My best advice to you is to detemine your output size, then re-scan at 2400 PPI at the correct size.
To your other question, pixel dimensions refers to the actual number of pixels in the image, and is the only true measurement of resolution for a digital image. Until you determine the print size PPI (pixels per inch) is irrelevant, and the PPI will change based on the output size: if you have an image that is 2000 pixels wide and you print it at 10 inches then your PPI is 200 (2000 / 10). If you output at 5 inches then the PPI is 400 (2000 / 5).
DPI (dots per inch) refers to the resolution of an output device. The two are commonly used to mean the same thing, but they are not synonyms -- digital images contain only pixels, never dots, and printers output with dots, never pixels.

I have a dead pixel on my ipad mini... What do I do? Only had it for almost 2 months.

Got my ipad mini on 2/24/2013 everything's great till I saw a dead pixel on the screen. Is there any solution for me? Apple should cover it as warranty right?

Please take not that there are approximate 800,000 pixel on an iPad 2.
