Change picture resolution

Is there a way to change a pictures resolution in iPhoto? So far, I have been opening the photo in Photoshop to decrease the resolution. My image files are too big after importing them. I know I can change the settings in my camera, but for the pictures already taken.
Thanks

Hi Adam,
I just posted a ? which I think is similar to yours... If you go into "Export" you can pick the size of sending photos to another folder on your computer. jpg, tiff etc, plus if you wish to post them on a website you can also change the pixel size to make sure they are small and not able to be duplicated. However, once they are exported, the photos cannot be used by Pages, iMovie etc until they are re-imported.
I am hoping that in the next 'upgrade' something will be added to make iPhot even more savy for us RAW pic people.
cheers, Diya

How do I change picture resolution from screen capture?

If I want to take the image on the screen in Encore CS5 and save it as a photoshop picture the resolution is 70 DPI. Is there any way to change this resolution? I would like sharper pictures if possible, 100 DPI to 200 DPI if this can be done.
Encore CS5
Core 4 2.4 ghz processor
6 GB Ram
700 GB free on hard drive
Windows 7 64 bit

I completely agree with your goal - getting as a good a resolution print as possible. But your focus on dpi for the capture of a frame will not help you.
Kind of like scanning an image. If you are going to blow it up later you want to scan at higher resolutions than if you don't. There is of course image quality versus file size issues, etc. etc. but at least I would have the option to change resolutions on capture.
Scanning at a higher resolution adds more pixels. So, for example, scanning a finely detailed 7.2 x 4.8 inch image at 300 dpi produces 2160 x 1440 pixels. Scan a grainy photograph similarly, and it will be 2160 x 1440 and look lousy. Use a 5 megapixel camera to shoot the original scene, you've got more pixels. If you have only the SD video image, all you have is the 720 x 480 pixel image. It doesn't matter how you set the dpi on capture, just that you capture all 720 x 480 pixels.
In Premier Pro CS5 and Encore CS5 the image size is 10 inches by 6.667 inches and the resolution is 72 pixels/inch.
Pulling from womble the image size is 7.2 inches by 4.8 inches and the resolution is 100 pixels/inch.
The part you are not listing is the fact that for each of those the pixel size is 720x480. As long as you capture the 720 x 480, the resolution of the image is not improved by flagging it as 72 dpi or 100 dpi. You can change that in photoshop for either of those captures, and you get a different print size, but no more or less pixels.
In either case, re-sizing the image in photoshop doesn't change the pixels/inch resolution. I want to capture the original image in as good resolution as possible rather than having to correct it after capture.
"As good resolution as possible" is 720 x 480.

Changing picture resolution or dpi

Good evening,
I need to make a print a particular size with 250 dpi. I can't find a way to change the dpi or resolution to this requirement using iPhoto or Aperture. If anyone knows how to do this I would greatly appreciate your help, or if you know that it can't be done with either of these packages I would appreciate knowing that too.
Thanks so much,
Erika

You cannot upres in either app but if you have enough pixels you just downres when exporting so that the number of inches on one side divided by the number of pixels on that same side equals the target resolution - in your case 250 - don't worry too much about the "inches" as long as you have the right number of image pixels whoever is printing this for you should be fine.

Why can't I save a picture after I change the resolution in CS5, I could before.

Why am I unable to save a picture one I change the resolution? I know that I am doing it correctly I have done this thousands of times and all of a sudden it doesn't work. Pictures will save if I make other adjustments i.e. crop, erase...etc. The changes are made while the picture is open in photoshop I see the resolution changing but when I save it simply does not. Beyond FRUSTRATED PLEASE HELP! AS ADOBE WON'T HELP ME SINCE CS6 has been released I was told if I want help buy CS6.

Have you tried closing the Photos app completely and seeing if the pictures save to the camera roll/saved photos album after you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Photos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset and see if it works after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How to change the resolution of a file?

Hi, can someone please help me. I am working with illustrator CS and I am exporting a file as a jpeg. I need to print that file so when i export it i am changing the resolution to 150dpi. When i open the file in windows picture manager edit it and save the changes the file turns black and it prints a black page. This only happens when i change the resolution to 150dpi or higher if i leave it at 72dpi and make changes i don't have problems it will save fine. I have tried many different things but no luck. Hope someone here can help me. thank you.

Sounds like an issue with your image editor. BTW if you plan on editing the image you should use a lossless format from Illustrator to the editor then save as a jpg. Each time you save the jpg more and more data gets thrown out until it unusable.

Pictures resolution and ken burns

I'm very unhappy of how the pictures look when I make a DVD. When I do some slideshow either with i photo or i movie or final cut the resolution is good on the Mac, but when I do a DVD (either with idvd or dvd pro) the resolution on TV is very bad. When I use a ken burns effect the resolution is much worse because a lot of "striping waves" appear on TV reproduction.
Have I to change the resolution of the pictures or I have to change some preference in idvd ?

Try this: Go into "Preferences" in iDVD, under the "Projects" tab, chose encoding "Professional Quality". You will have to restart the program to make it work.

Text shrinks if I change the resolution too many times

Hi, I have an strange issue, if i go to Document properties and I change the resolution from 4:3 to 16:9 everything is fine, if I go back to 4:3 the text looks smaller, if I do the same thing over and over again the text don't event fit in the boxes, What is wrong?
A picture is attached with the final result.
Thanks

Hi, so I have to accept the idea of thinking the resolution that I want before doing any work?
Absolutely. Best practice is to know what your end product is going to be before you start any kind of project.
to me it looks that Keynote should do a better work in that aspect
Its very good at adapting to slide size changes now, earlier versions completely messed up the assets and we had to start over again.

IMPORTANT!!!!change the resolution in a form

Hello,
I want that when i do double click in the main form, the system change the resolution.
This is, if I have the 800*600, when i Do double click in the main.fmx, then i want that the resolution change to 1024*800.
Can you help me?
Thank you

Unless you have added third party software, your built-in camera's resolution is set by the software you use. (If you have added third party software to your new Mac, check its settings or follower its develper's instructions for uninstalling it.)
Restart your new Mac and test again.
Use good (means very bright) light for best pictures.
More info: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3097
(The new Macs have changed the name from iSight to FaceTime camera, but the same info and troubleshooting applies to each.)
Finally, you can check whether there is a smudge or film on the camera's lens opening at the top of the display. If necessary, gently wipe it clean with the cloth that came with your Mac.
If your new iMac's images are still worse than those from your old Mac when using the same software in the same position with the same lighting, contact your retailer as soon as possible to have the camera checked out.

Change ruler resolution

Is there a way to change the pixel resolution of the rulers in AI?
Let me explain why I want to do this...
Sometimes I'll drag a layer into Illustrator from Photoshop, resize it, get it to fit in right. Of course, resizing in AI changes the resolution and looks crap. So when it's time replace the image in AI, I open up Photoshop and from there it is a guessing game as to what size to make it. If I could change the resolution of the rulers in Illustrator I could just look at the rulers and resize to that size.

I usually do things this way:
Start by placing your original picture (jpg or wotever) into Illy. Scale it as you need.
With it selected, read off its size in Info and write it down.
Then open the picture in Photoshop, resize it as per Info and make any other adjustments. Re-save with another name or in another format (for example eps) and place it into Illy. The size will fit exactly with no guesswork involved. Snap it to the corners of the original and you've got your positioning as you want it. Then chuck out the original.
If the original has a clipping mask, switch off the Illy preview (Cmd-Y), snap the new picture to the original. With it selected Cmd-X, select original, Cmd-F, Cmd-3, delete original, Cmd+Alt-3. Cmd-Y. Bingo.

How to resize and change the resolution of a batch of photos using Automator

I searched for a long time tonight looking for the answer to this (seemingly) simple question:
How do I use Automator to scale and change the resolution of a batch of images?
It was not so simple.

These are just the links on this site - I found them all over the place at MacRumors, Apple Tips, Mac Help, etc.
You can actually manage this in Automator.
Here are the steps that worked for me:
Create an Automator APPLICATION - not a workflow (this is due to the way that I'm batch converting images - workflows might be ok for some cases)
Step 1 is Copy Finder Items
My flow inserts an SD card, opens the DCIM folder that my Nikon creates, selecting the images that I click (command + click to multi-select) and once I have the photos highlighted, I drag them onto this Automator App we're creating.
<== You'll have this guy soon!
As a result - I want to copy the originals to my computer as step 1. I don't touch the originals on the SD card (and cards are cheap so I tend to leave them on the cards as well)
Step 2 is the Scale Images action - you can search the library for this and find it quickly. For my part, I found that scaling images to about 38.8 percent of their size on the SD card is good for uploading to a blog. Change this value to whatever you wish.
Step 3 is Run Shell Script - and here is where we marry the brilliance found at this link with our script.If you have a hard time reading the text in the image, it is as follows:
#bin/bash
for f in "$@"
do
/usr/bin/sips -s dpiHeight 72.0 -s dpiWidth 72.0 $f
done
Save this application (I named mine "Format Photos")
Place the application inside the target folder where you want the images to end up. I do this because when I have the SD card window open, I can also open my "Photos" window and see my App sitting there. I select my images as I mentioned and drag them on top of this app. The app copies the originals and the conversions into the folder.
NOTES: When you open a converted pic in Preview, you will see Resolution = 300 dpi if you go to Tools --> Adjust Size... This reading is explained by another brilliant discussion as sips only touches the JFIF properties inside the file's MetaData. However, if you look at the bottom of the Adjust Size... window, you'll see the image size is probably around 500 kb (give or take depending on the original). My goal was to get the images down from the 3.0 MB I shoot at to around 500 kb. Therefore even though the MetaData still thinks that it is 300 DPI according to Preview, it has been changed to 72 (open it in some other applications mentioned at the links and you'll find different readings - it all depends on what the application reads from the Meta).
This does not rename the files, so you'll get DSC_1000.jpg and DSC_1000 copy.jpg in all likelihood. If that annoys you, add a step into the Automator Application that renames the file after the "Run Shell Script" action has run, and you can have each file renamed according to some convention that you like.
This took a heck of a lot longer than I expected - so I decided to put in the effort to share this with the community and save others the hassle.

PPI is pixels per inch of the image. It is difficult to increase resolution as you are trying to add data that is not there.
But for printing purposes what you want is dpi or dots per inch.
The image processor either accessed from Bridge (tools/photoshp) or PS is a good way to change a batch of images.

Unable to Change Screen Resolution in Remote Session - Windows Server 2012 R2

Does anybody know of a way to allow Remote Desktop users to adjust their own screen resolution in a remote session under Windows Server 2012 R2? We are struggling with this and can't seem to find a solution.
When users login to their RDP session and try to adjust their screen resolution this message is displayed in Control Panel:
"The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
We don't want to use the "make text and other items larger or smaller" scaling feature, as this produces undesirable results with some of our applications. We also don't want to have to support multiple types of RDP clients or RDP shortcut
files.
We have looked at other posts but can't find an answer that applies to Windows Server 2012 R2. The closest thing we could find is KB2726399, but it only applies to Server 2008.
Does anybody have a solution for Server 2012?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently you cannot change the resolution from within the session. This is normal and expected behavior.
Unfortunately this means you need to set the desired resolution before connecting by using custom .rdp files, manually within the Remote Desktop Client, custom web launch page, custom windows launch program, etc.

What is the model #? Is it a direct HDMI connection? Have you tried a different cable and port? If possible try a different display.

What program do I need to change the resolution of a photo?

What program do I need to change the resolution of a photo that is currently a low-res .jpg? I previously had photoshop, but it did not transfer to my new Mac Lion - and it is too expensive to repurchase. Curious if there is there an alternative option? I cannot open hi-res files anymore, and would love a solution. Thanks!

How do I change the resolution of a scanned document/photo on CC568A?

Its a Photosmart 7520 Series printer.
The scanned documents are way too large to email, and I can't find anywhere on the printer or online on how to change the resolution to shrink the file size.
Thank you!

Hi @JeffJohnson,
I see that you are having issues emailing the scans. I can help you.
How are you scanning the emails? (from the computer or the printer)
If you are scanning from the computer to email, you can reduce your file size by:
1. Reducing the scan resolution. Change the dpi.
2. Scan your document in black/white or grayscale.
Be aware, that this will change the quality of the scan.
Here is a document for scanning to email from the printer. I don't believe there are any settings to change the size.
How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a USB Drive, and to a Memory Card).
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Have a nice weekend!
