Adjusting image size (not cropping)

I'm new to Lightroom so I'm used to being able to simply adjust the dpi of my photos from 300 to 72 (or whatever I need it to be). I can't seem to locate a similar feature in Lightroom. Am I missing something here? How can I change my large 300dpi files into smaller 72dpi?
Thanks in advance for your responses/help

Fae,
one of these images is at 30dpi, one is at 3000:
1.
2.
Can you tell which is which?
Don't feel bad about not knowing "The DPI Secret" - I originally knocked this example up to demonstrate the same point to Art Morris, no less...

Question on Photoshop Image Size Zoom & Crop

Hello Everyone...
I was wondering if anyone could help me out on a few questions w/ Image Size Zoom & Crop
I use to work at a studio that had their own small software for editing photos. It was setup so you take an image RAW and you could CROP by zooming. So I could take the image and SCROLL to ZOOM in and it cropped away the rest without actually pressing crop. Then you pick what sizes you want, 1 8x10, 2 5x7 and sheet of wallets and WALLLLLLA it prints them out on 3 sheets of paper.
My questions are:
Is there anyway to crop by zooming?
Is there anyway to keep the original size after cropping? Example most of my pics are 12M when I crop they go down to 2 or 3. Why? If I have a picture of 4 people and I want to crop to one persons face but keep the original image size why won't it do that without resizing??
It says that to get the best print quality it should be viewed at resolution 300 instead of 72? is that true? and why?
Is there a way to keep the quality at its best and then just select how many and what size I want to have print out? example of the 3 sizes listed above??
I hope my questions make a little sense.
Thanks for your help in advance

I strongly recommend that you read through the following:

I also suggest that you mention what version of Photoshop you have when posting. Some functions change between versions.

Preset crop tool not matching image size after crop.

I am a labtech at a community college and look after 48 mac pros in which the students use the entire creative suite. (I only mention this becuase any answers need to consider variations in system settings or photoshop settings. college students get into everything!)
But the issue is when you select the crop tool and enter a custom constraint and crop
The image size is sometimes a full 2 inches off of what you set as a crop?! I havn't run into this before, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
[I do know you can use the drop down box and use {size and resolution} but I want to know why it doesnt work under custom and unconstrained]
Thank you again.

Looks like you are just setting the aspect ratio. You need to enter units of measure (8 in X 9 in) to crop to a specific print size.

Image size not showing when inserting into html

I have Dreamweaver CS3
I noticed after inserting a bunch of images using the html pane I noticed that the image sizes where not showing in the html, i.e
<li><img src="pics/customerphoto/thmbs/100_0223_thmb.JPG" alt="guitar rack" /></li>
however, when I drag them in to the preview pane (which I prefer not to do), the sizes are referenced, i.e
<li><img src="pics/customerphoto/thmbs/001_thmb.jpg" width="140" height="94" /></li>
I prefer to have the sizes included in the html and certainly don't want to manually add them. Is there a way to do this through the html pane?
Thanks

Right Click on picture. Hit Reset Size. The native height and width will then show in the image properties pane.

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.

Adjusting Image Size Using NI-IMAQ(dx)

Hi All,
I am trying to adjust the size of an video window on the screen using NI-IMAQ. I don't want to change the image resolution, just the size of the viewing window.
I am using the NI-IMAQdx function library at this point, and I hope to keep using it.
Thanks!

Hello FB,
What program or VIs are you using to generate the video window?

X6 Adjusting image size when using a picture as ph...

Hi All,
I set a photo as my background on my X6, but the image re-sizes itself so its bigger in the home screen and not all of the image appears on the screen, alot is cut off.
I cant quite figure out how to adjust the image so that it stays the same size when its used as my back ground, or how to re-adjust the image back! Its annoying because it means my pictures are limited as to what can be on my background, im having to chose really far away shots becaus they appear close up when used as a background!
Help for the thicko much appreicated!!

Transfer picture to computer and assuming you have windows, right click on it and select edit, when the screen opens in 'paint' select the re-size option , top left hand corner second section from the left when edit menu opens click the pixel option and type in the ratio of your phone screen (360x640), then close and save as jpeg, should then do exactly what you want
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

Image size not printing correctly on paper

I am creating a simple flyer on my mac using MS PowerPoint. I know not the ideal software to use for this, but its a very simple flyer and I know how to use that software the best. My problem is every time I try to print it, the size printed gets all out of whack or edges are cut off.
For example, in my software, my document size is 8.5 x 11" and in the print dialog I am also choosing 8.5 x 11 paper. I know that my printer will NOT print anything closer to .19" from all edges of the paper (I guess would be called the printer margin), so in my document I am sure not to place anything within those print margins. When I try to print it, in the preview of the print dialog (and if printed) the top and left edges are lined up correctly/with the correct margin, but the right and bottom of the page are largely cut off. And I don't mean that the "image is too big for the page" kind of cut off, because its not. I mean that the top and left margin are the correct .19" but the right and bottom are around 1.5" or so cutting off the image there.
Here are things I have tried to correct this problem:
I have checked every margin setting possible and they are all correct/normal.
Checking the "Scale to fit" option in the print dialog shrinks my entire image where nothing is cut off, but then all margins are too big for my intended appearance.
I have opened the same PowerPoint document on a PC in my network and printed, and everything printed correctly.
I saved the PowerPoint document as a JPEG, opened it in Preview and on screen it looks fine, but when I open the print dialog from within there, I get the same problems; right and bottom cut off, and scale to fit's margins are too big.
Any suggestions on maybe something I missed, how to correct this problem, or why I am getting this problem?

Adjust image size

this is probably insanely easy, but I can't figure it out. I need to adjust JUST the height of and image, but when I resize it, it automatically adjusts both the height and width of the image.
This is ******* ******* me off. how do I turn it off. I know that it used to be if I held down shift, it would adjust it so the dimensions ratio are the same. but now it does it all the time.

Hi!
You are not wasting Internet space. You had a problem which you found the answer to. You also did, which I liked the best, give the solution to your problem for others to read and learn from!

Reducing image sizes - not anti-aliasing

Hi guys,
I've had a search around and haven't found much on this specifically (it's also a difficult thing to search for) so I hope someone here could maybe shed some light.
I'm fairly new to using Flash but well versed in other adobe software.
I have this problem:
I'm tweening a symbol so that it reduces in size. It was a png image. It goes from being big to small. When it's small it becomes less anti-aliased (clear jagged edge, more visible and directly proportional to how much it has been reduced)
This is something unrelated to actual tweening - it's just become obvious in this situation. It also happens when simply resizing using transform tools.
Here are some screen shots:
Thoughts?
Sam

Hi Ned,
Cheers for the answer but it's actually made no difference. It acts the same.
In any case, this time I don't have the time to faff about so I'll just live trace it and use a vector.
Thanks anyway, I'll mark this as answered; someone else might find it helpful.

Is there a way to adjust image size? (besides the little slider)

Just wondering if this is an issue with my iphoto or camera. When I add pictures to my iphoto from my camera they appear really tiny. When I make them larger within the window, the pictures become distorted. They also upload on to websites extremely small. I have checked my camera settings and everything seems to be normal there. My friend has a iphoto, and her pictures are not uploading this tiny. Is there a setting that I can change for this?
thank you!

Jacquie
It would appear that your friend replaced all the Original full sized pics with the thumbnails that iPhoto uses for display.
To start over:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Problems with image sizes

There seems to be lots of confusion about image sizes and Apple iBookstore Support et al simply state that images should not be greater than 2 megapixels.
IBook Author Help > Photos and other images, states:-
Important: When you export your book for distribution outside the iBookstore, images are automatically scaled to a width of 2048 pixels, which is optimized for iPad with Retina display. Readers can view these images on other iPad models, but the viewing experience might be slower. You can improve the viewing experience on iPad models without Retina display by using images no wider than 1024 pixels.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5117 states:-
Publishing to the iBookstore:
If most of your readers will be using the original iPad, scale down images in Interactive Image widgets to a width of 2048 pixels and all other images to a width of 1024 pixels.
Previewing on iPad, or exporting for distribution outside the iBookstore:
You can improve the viewing experience on iPad models without Retina display by scaling down images in Interactive Image widgets to a width of 2048 pixels and all other images to a width of 1024 pixels.iBA help deals with exporting books OUTSIDE the store and simply advises that you can help none Retina viewers by having a smaller image. No help at all really - but suggests that the use of images 2048 is OK. that would indicate 2048 x 1536 or 1496. No mention of what resolution should be used.
iBookstore support basically reapeat this.
So to ease life in getting books accepted, should we all use 1024 x 768 @72ppi for iPad & iPad 2 and now iPad mini. ????
and use 2048 x 1536 @ ?? for The New iPad Retina display!
Both fail to mention HOW the books author would know which iPad a buyer/viewer will be using. Also if "we" only use 1024 x 768, those with Retina do not get an "enhanced viewing experience".
For a company that deals entirely with devices that use logical programming - there seems very little logic applied when it comes to dealing with a section of their business which by issueing iBA Free and wacking 30% of the top, must be adding to the $billions already stacked away in a corner somewhere.
iBA makes eBooks for use/display on iPads only. For months now since iBA became available, one of the most common requests on this forum is help with....image sizes.
It seems reasonable now when Retina is in use and eventually the iPad and iPad 2 will fade away - ditto the new none retina mini and ALL Apple devices and computers will be retina. So why not plan now! Surely images in shoudl be geared to deal with Retina displays. IF Apple would take that line maybe "Support" would have less work dealing with requests for help about images IF Apple accept that the next Stephen King may not have a clue how to deal with adjusting images sizes and simply state the required dimentions.
I make photo books and use 2048 x 1496 @150ppi - so far ten free books have gone into the store.
The suggestion about images for retina display as "standard" as been sent as feedback.

For all those who are still confused by Apples image restrictions / requirements...
In the new Template chooser after the recent updates is "Antique". This template has a Chapter background image ( the olde world print of sailing ships in blue litho print style ). This print when opened in PS is 2771 x 1506 @72ppi. 2771x1506=4,173,126 pixels.This implies Apple supply a book which does not comply with its own requirements!
Higher image resolution applied to printed photo inmages, make the image sharper. If for example you wanted to print a wall poster 45inches wide, the image needs needs a higher resolution to cater for the size, BUT the same image used for a 45" poster will print 4.5" wide print on your own printer!
iBA full page is deemed to be 1024 x 748. resolution from Apple is 72ppi. An image with those specifications will be OK in iPad & iPad 2 - but not so sharp on a Retina display especially if zoomed larger on screen
Now it seems 2048 x 1496 - double the original image size is suggested for Retina.
You can change an image in PS i.e. 1024 x 748 and change resolution to 144. PS will double the pixel size as you change the resolution. OK, just change pixel sizes back to 1024 x 748 and reolution is now 144.
That indicates a sharper image which will be suitable for retina display and in fact all current iPad models.
Today my 11th photo book was notified as available in the iBook Store, all my images were pre-formatted at 2048 x 1496 @ 150ppi. ( 2048 x 1496 = 3.063,808 pixels!)
During delivery there were no issues flagged and after delivery no tickets.
So I suggest all those folk pondering images sizes follow my example, which is now proved to be accepatble!
One thing puzzles me though, I dont use all images as full page and they can be masked down to - say - 250 x 200. Should just make an image to fit the size I want to display ??

Image size to fill out the IE window

Hello,
I have a view with a menu on the left and a view container on the right side.
In the view container a linked another view.
That only constist of an image. I want this image to fill out the whole space available in the IE.
if somwbody has a low monitor resultion, it should be rezised to fill out everything and if somebody has a high resultion its the same. I dont want any "scroll bars" in the IE because the picture is to big nor I want empty space because the picture is displayed smaller than the window of the IE.
I have tried everything out. I put the image in a transparent container with "stretch", i set high and width for the transparent container and the picture to 100% but nothing really works.
As soon as I set high of the image to 100% it zero pixel. But if I set an value with px, em or ex I define the size and rezising is not done. And I cant see what the option "adjust image size" really does. I cant see any difference by (un)-checking it.
Is there any way to tell an object to be exactly that size the IE has? Is webdynpro able to recognize the monitor resolution and render an object to exactly that size?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the quick answer!
It does not work.
I can only see a very thin horizontal like. The image gets "compressed" to about 3 pixel and the line is as long as the image is wide (so no vertical sizing as well).
I tried it with WinXP SP3 and IE8.
I tried it with WinXP SP3 and IE6.
I tried it with my own PC via VPN to make sure its no nasty setting to our company desktop and I have only Windows, Office, SAP GUI on it. Nothing else.
Always the same result. As soon as I set the height of the image to 100% I get only a thin horizontal line.
You were able to accomplish. So I tried FireFox portable - and it works!
My lesson learned is that a picture can only be re-sized to a smaller size but not expanded. Thats no problem, I could use a 1600x1200 pixel graphic and then its made smaller.
But we have to use IE because thats the companies standard and SAPs as well.
We have the application running on a NetWeaver 2004s BI 7.0 machine. No EHP1. System got latest patches 3-4 month ago.
I cant believe that the SAP machine is the problem, because FireFox renders the graphik the same as your screenshots show.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Or could it be some kind of customizing/parameter problem within SAP? I have the problem since over 1 year and always thought its just a bug getting solved somewhen by a patch...

PS CC Image Size Looks Different

This may be in here somewhere, but I didn't see it....
I very recently switched from CS6 to CC.
I edited an image, made a selection, blurred the selection, did my normal processing, then sent it back to LR5.
In LR5 I cropped and exported to 1280 px on the longest side. Image looked as edited...
Later I got to thinking about sharpening and decided to try cropping and resizing in CC so I could sharpen just the areas that were sharp.
Cropped the image as desired, then did image/image size and cropped to 1280 px. The area I blurred is DRASTICALLY different - much blurrier.
Went back in history and did a stamp visible, then repeated the crop and resize. Image now looks as it should.
Tried it with the "scale styles" turned ON and OFF. No difference. In theory I've inserted both images.....
This appears to be very different behavior than I've seen in previous versions. What do I have set wrong?

Hi Noel,
I opened the image from LR5 as a standard image.
On the original layer, I did the selection of the background. Feathered it 1 px.
With the selection on, I duplicated it, which gave me a layer that only contained the background. This way, when it's blurred, it can't blur pixels where the sharp areas are.
I converted the new layer to a smart object.
I then did a filter/blur/gaussian blur of 4 px so I'd have a smart filter. Looked, fiddled, adjusted the filter eventually to 6 px.
From that point I did my normal
clone/heal on a layer
dodging on a 50% gray overlay layer
burning on a 50% gray overlay layer
Adjust contrast/brightness/whatever on a curves layer
Adjust saturation on a hue/sat layer
save the psd...
Crop using the crop tool - no set size, just removing excess stuff
Do image/image size to resize to 1280 px -- this is the point where the background blur changes
IF, on the other hand, prior to cropping, I do a merge visible (with alt down - stamp visible?), I can then crop and resize and the background doesn't change...
I presume I"m doing something wrong in the image size dialog, but I don't see it. I've tried it with the scale styles on and off - no difference...
If there's any other info you need, let me know.

Reducing "image size" of .flv

Hello,
This is my first post. I hope this is clear.
When I put a .flv onto a page, it's too large, meaning I want to reduce the image size, not the .flv itself. So, I click on Tools, advanced editing and select "Select object tool" and reduce it manually while holding down the shift bar. Is there a way to just click on the image and make it, for example, 25% smaller?That way all my .flv files will look the same.
Thanks,
Techwaitress

Just wanted to say I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. (Also, maybe I should have said resize the image instead of reduce.)
