Actions in CS3 no longer records image size change?

We've recently upgraded from Photoshop CS to CS3.
A common task we're asked to perform is to resize 800x600 eps images created in Illustrator to 1024x768 jpg files. We typically batch convert the files through the use of an Action we'd created in Photoshop CS.
However, in Photoshop CS3, while resizing is possible on individual files in a step-by-step process, this critical resizing step of the conversion is not recorded when we attempt to create an Action for batch processing. For the time-being, we're relying on our old version of Photoshop CS for this process.
Is this step - resizing from the original eps file - no longer a recordable step in CS3?
For the record - use of the Image Processor feature in the Scripts menu is not an option. The image is not sharp. That process 'upsamples' a converted 800x600 jpg (coverted from the original 800x600 eps file) to a 1024x768 jpg image.
Thanks.

So, to clarify, you simply do not have the width and height boxes shown below?

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module. I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC. There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
Why does the image size change?
I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
Help!...Please?

The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
Now when exported it can be set to export at
100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
Hope that helps somewhat..

Actions have to be done manually/ image size not available

i have a foder opened up in bridge , all photos selected, I go to tools/photoshop/batch/I choose my own action, web 1400, which includes reducing to 1400 px, reduce resolution, and saving to jpeg.
In set, i choose my own actions, source: folder, choose the original folder, destination:folder, create new folder,ok.
i have to do all the oks and saves by clicking manually, all in the end is fine, but that's odd.
OR FROM PHOTOSHOP/windows/actions; it just wont work all together; My action is called web1400, includes 3 commands::
2 image size (for reducing size, resolution) and save to jpeg.
I select web 1400, then I click the play icon (3rd from left) . that brings the selection down 1 step to image size and a window appears: image size is not currently available.

You should make sure that your printer is selected in Page Setup, rather than the generic Any Printer. You may need to look for it in Options... when you choose it in PowerPoint.

Unwanted image size change when moving a image it's Tab to another Tab in CC 2014

Hi, I opened a photo with a physical size 16"w 36"h. Since role paper comes in 24" width, I proceeded with expanding the canvas size to 24"w, height is unchanged at 36". Then I opened two photos in separate tabs in Photoshop, changed the image sizes to 8"w x 12"h. One Photo is from a 36megapixel camera and the other from a 16megapixel camera. Created two layers in the 24x36 image tab. Then I proceeded to copy each photo and paste in each of those layers (one image per layer in case you’re wondering). The problem is as follows, the copied images are larger when pasted into those layers, 10” wide and not 8”, 14”high and not 12”. Thinking maybe the canvas size had something to do with this, so I made that change. The result was the same, larger when pasted into those layers, 10” wide and not 8”, 14”high and not 12”. Could someone please advise what I’ve done wrong? Note, the ruler bars are visible. Thanks

When you bring one image into another, it is the pixel size that counts. The physical size of the source image becomes irrelevant.

This is about the still image size changing from what I see on the computer monitor and what the burned DVD shows on the TV

I have Prem.El 12 and have used PE4 for years. I have a new PC that runs Win7Pro. The still images on the computer monitor are within the "safe margins". The still images after the movie has been burned to a disk are MUCH smaller on the TV screen. Is this an issue of 16:9 vs 4:3 ratios? My TV is 4:3. Can I tell PE12 to make the movie a 4:3?

Although I have seen your post of today in my Inbox Email Notifications, that post has not yet appears in this thread. It will probably will sooner or later. But, to keep things moving along....this is a copy of what I am seeing as your message of today in my Indox Email Notifications
Thank you for your patience in the time it is taking me to get back to you.
I am still trying to buy some DVD-RW discs and will hopefully do that in a
bit. Meanwhile, I have more info for you and some simple (I hope)
questions. If you want to insert your answers, that would be fine.
My camera (for stills and video) is set to the 4:3 ratio. It is capable of
being set to a 16:9 ratio if I wanted to do that. I looked in its TOOLS
menu and saw this info.
My TV is definitely a 4:3 TV. (I measured it with my tape measure and
divided W/L to get 1.33) The TV can show a 16:9 movie and just adds the
black bars on the top and bottom. Question: What will my old 4:3 movies
look like on a 16:9 TV whenever we buy one of those?
It seems to me that I want to set PE12 to the NTSC DV Standard you
mentioned.
I do NOT know how to “size your photos so that each has a 4:3 aspect”,
unless you mean doing that in Photoshop Elements, which I know how to do
(*see below)
I had NOT considered that I would need to watch the preset for the
‘Publish+Share’ step; so that’s good to know (I copied and pasted your info
for later use).
BTW, years ago when I had difficulties with my XP computer working on PE4
(had only 2 GB RAM), an Adobe tech told me to resize my photos * to have a
720 pixel width (the height would be automatically adjusted) to lower the
file size to something my computer could handle without crashing. (That
was back in the good ol’ days when Adobe support would actually talk with
their customers and try to help them in the first month)
My new computer has 16GB RAM. Do you think I still need to reduce file
size? One does lose some sharpness in the resizing process…..however,
these videos I’m making are travelogues and are for a fun way to view pics
and videos of a trip…nothing Earth shattering….and just a hobby to keep me
off the streets.
I truly appreciate the time you take to help me (and others). I was even
tempted to try to install my old PE4 on my new computer just to be able to
enjoy my hobby again.
My reply to the above....
1. If you camera is giving you 4:3 photos and your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 is running on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then leave
the photos as is unless you have a lot of photos and each has pixel dimensions sizes way over 1920 x 1080 pixels that are giving your computer resource issues. If you have to down size them because of computer resources, then copy the photos to a computer desktop folder and also create an empty folder on the computer desktop.
a. Photoshop Elements Editor, File Menu/Process Multiple Files.
Process Files form Folder
Source - browse to and select the computer desktop folder with photos to be resized
Destination - browse to and select the empty computer desktop folder
Image Size
             Check Mark Next To Resize Images
            (no check mark next to Constrain Proportions)
            Type in Width = 1000 (set units for pixels)
            Type in Height = 750 (set unites for pixels)
File Size
           Check Mark Next to Convert Files To
           Set for JPEG High Quality
The above should work fine for a NTSC DV Standard project with a burn to DVD disc with preset NTSC_Dolby DVD (4:3 video).
2. With regard to the TV Set and 16:9 video....when you have the DVD-player attached to the TV, do you have the opportunity to bring up a display of menus with
controls for Picture and Aspect Ratio? From what you have written so far, it looks like the answer is no. I am not sure how your TV DVD
player will handle 16:9.
Best do a mini test run
1. Project preset set manually to NTSC DV Widescreen (please refer to post 1 link)
A few photos sized for 1600 x 1200
In the Premiere Elements project, use the Safety Margins inner rectangle for text placement
Publish+Share/Disc/DVD disc with preset = NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD.
See what that looks like on your TV DVD player.
If you discovered that your current TV DVD player can be set for a 16:9 display, then I have a preferred workflow for
NTSC DV Widescreen which typically gives best possible results. Hints of things to come.
Please review and consider. Thanks for the follow ups.

Image size change when save as jpeg

Hi
I have recently encountered an issue when I save file as jpeg in CS6. I prepared my image for printing and my image is a bit smaller than the print size (20" x 40") so I created a new file (8 bit) with new exact print size. Then I placed my image into this newly created layer and adjust my image size to fit. After this, I flatterned the image and went to file>save as and picked JPG extension. Dialogue box appeared and I selected 10 for quality (scale 1-12) then I hit ok to save. After that I went to open the newly saved JPG file and check the file size and for somereasons, It has been halved to around 10"x20". However, pixle dimension of the image remained unchange because I have unticked resample option. Does anyone have any ideas of why this is the case as It's doing my head in.
Thanks
Dean

This has been discussed ad nauseam here. Please do a forum search. < sigh >
Bottom line: If the pixel count remains the same, your image has not been "reduced or halved" at all. Just change the ppi resolution accordingly without resampling.
Save for Web defaults to 72 ppi regardless of what you had specified earlier,´.

Image size changes in report

Post Author: dwtalso
CA Forum: General
I'm currently working on a set of reports that has two images embedded on the "cover page". They are embedded as OLE Objects. Very often when I open these report to work on them the images will have shrunk. The "object" is still the same size because the border then it's selected is correct, but the image within the object is shrunk and distorted. Grabbing the object and nudging it on the page resets the image size and it will not change again until I close and reopen the report.
A little less frequently, I'll open a report and the image will be gone. The object is still there and can be select but there is no image. Nothing restores the image at all at this point. I have to reinsert the image from it original source or I have to open a different report and, if the image is good, copy the image and paste it into the broken report.
What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to get these images to stop doing this?
Thanks

CR, being a report writing software, is not that good at manipulating graphics. We rely on the graphics to be in as "usable a format" as possible when passed in to the report engine. Having said that, there are suggestions I've seen on these forums that may be of help. See if using the search at the top right corner (Select "ALL of SAP") will help.

Image size changes after saving and then reopening

I'm using CS6. For example I change the image size to a 4X6 and then save it. Then when I open the file it will be 7.5X5. What's the fix? Thanks for your time.

I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 7 - 64 bit system. I'm using the Image Size dialog box and saving the file as a 4X6 at 300 dpi from a psd file to a jpeg file. When I open the file it is 5X7.5 inches at 240 dpi. I've been playing with it and have just figured out that when I save the file as a psd file it stays the size I've created and it changes when I save as a jpeg file. This is change is recent. It's worked properly in the past. Thanks for your help.

How Image size changes when zoomed ?

Hi,
I am using the following method code to zoom-in and zoom-out my images.
    public void zoom(double zoomFac) {
        this.zoomFac = zoomFac;
        atx.setToScale(zoomFac, zoomFac); // global attribute AffineTrasform
        ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
        pb.addSource(getDefaultOrjImage());
        pb.add(atx);
        pb.add(Interpolation.getInstance(Interpolation.INTERP_BICUBIC_2));
        rImage = JAI.create("affine", pb);
        repaint();
        this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(rImage.getWidth(), rImage.getHeight()));
        updateUI();
    }One can notice that I am using Bicubic interpolation for the purpose.
I want to predict the size of Image for a given zoom factor. How can I do this?
I've seen the algorithm of Bicubic Interpolation, but coulndt figure out how I can use its details to predict the size change of the image.
clearly speaking if my image's
width = 512, height = 512,
What will be the width and height when the image is zoomed with zoomFac = 1.2
Thank u for ur time.

Rajesh Rapaka.

The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
Now when exported it can be set to export at
100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
Hope that helps somewhat..

Image size changing upon saving.

I'm working on digital negatives for school and right before saving the image, it is 8.07M. But after saving the image and looking at the image info, it says 4.9M. Why is it saving my image to a smaller image?

The image size does not change, you're talking about the file size.
And the file size depends on the file type, the contents, the compression options used, etc.

Importing Multi-Page PDF. Problems with Image Size Changing.

I am working with CS4 on Windows XP.
This has happened to numerous files...
I open a multi-page PDF using PhotoShop using Grayscale. There are crop marks indicated on each page, so I will use the crop tool to crop each image accordingly. Then I convert each to a bitmap and save it as a .tiff file and close it. When I re-open the file, the image size has increased. It seems like it increases the same amount each time (maybe about 25%??) for each file.
Any suggestions on how to fix this are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm still unclear why you are bothering to open these PDF in Photoshop only to crop.
Acrobat can do this most easily. Placing the PDF files back in InDesign can also do this.
Photoshop is the last tool you'd want to use as it is rasterizing the vector elements/text and producing a larger file.
If you have neither Acrobat or InDesign, look to a free tool to crop PDF.

Help! Placed image size changing!

MAC OS 10.5.8 Dual 2.7 Ghz Power PC G-5 Adobe CS4 creative suite.
I use Indesign for film output. Create templates bring in designs (3 up or more) But the designs I bring in do not stay true to size some get bigger some get smaller. In the menu bar you get the x & y the actual size of your template. Then a resize option. Using the selection tool I 'command D' bring in my .ai with a placed PS CS4 .psd. BUT it is not the correct size. with the direct selection tool I select the placed art. in the resize box it is no longer 100%. It automatically changed and it is random sometimes bigger sometimes smaller.
How do I prevent it from resizing??? want it to remain 100%. ugh!
thank you,
ulikogl

First of all thank you everyone for your help.
I have changed a couple of check boxes in the preference panel.
I use illustrator because some of the files are built in it. Some in photoshop.
Is the a separate area for bounding box somewhere that may cause this?Does indesign see the pasteboard edges on the largest image area and can it be vacant of color like a stray point?
tiff #1 when scaling :which would be the correct option and why?
tiff#2 Links:which would be the correct option and why?
sorry so many questions.

Dynamic Image Size Change

I would like to build a gallery consisting of several pages. Each page displays a single, medium sized image which will change to a large image when it is clicked, and reduce to original size when clicked again. I am looking for some help in the method required to do this.
I am hoping I could do something other that using the original as a hyperlink button to a similar page with a large version of the photo.
Method and design ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at [this page|http://www.wyodor.net/Lytebox/LichtBox.html].
The page and the 2 others use [the Lytebox code|http://www.dolem.com/lytebox> to display the images.
After studying the Lytebox code, this page may be helpful too:

Excel to PDF: Image size changes

Hello,
I have experienced that charts or images produced with Excel 2003 "shrink" when they are converted to PDF using Acrobat 9. For example, a chart which has 90x120 mm when printed directly from Excel gets smaller by 5-8 % when first converted to PDF and then printed out on the same printer.
Why is that? Is there anything I can change in the settings, etc, which would avoid this?

If you use the 'Show Aperture Library' command in iPhoto all you are accessing are your Previews.
To get the full size pic export that from Aperture to the Desktop and then Import it to iPhoto. You need to use the Export command, dragging and dropping from the Aperture window is not enough. If you find that you're not getting the full sized pic when exporting from Aperture then check your Export settings under the File -> Export command.
There is no way to import... "from within iPhoto (from Aperture)."
