Change the resolution from 72 dpi

Hi
When I open photo's in Fireworks it automaticaly opens withe
the resolution set at 72 dpi. How can I change this so when I open
photo's they open at a high res? I'm running Fireworks MX 2004 if
that makes any difference. Any help appreciated.

Maybe, but it's not the way I read it. I think the issue here
is the OP
is not being very clear as to WHAT resolution he's referring
to. I tried
to clear that up in my post, but I should have replied
directly to the
OP's post rather than to yours. Sorry for the confusion. :-)

Hi fabiangs,
I'm not sure that I follow. Are you saying that when you open a PDF file in Acrobat or Reader, that the display resolution changes automatically on your system?
What version of Acrobat/Reader are you using? Do you see this same issue in other files/applications?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,

In Lightroom 4, is it possible to change the resolution when exporting to Facebook?

Is it possible to change the resolution when exporting a photo to Facebook using either the regular plugin or Jeffrey Friedl's plugin? I can't seem to do it; I only have control over the image dimensions, not the resolution and the dimensions, as you can see in the screen shots below:
I have control over both when I export to my hard drive (or a flash drive, etc.), as you can see below:
I can't find the option to control the resolution when I try to export to Facebook. Before I got Lightroom 4, I would create whole new low-resolution files of images I wanted to post online using Photoshop. The image size settings I would use are a longest edge of 10 inches at 72ppi, and I would like to continue doing this. If I can only set the longest side to 720 pixels (I can't even seem to set the longest edge to an inches value - I can only choose a pixels value) and not change the resolution from 300ppi to 72ppi, then my photos' longest edge will only be less than 3 inches long (right?). Thus, I really want to be able to upload low-resolution photos to Facebook via Lightroom with the ability to change both the resolution and the image dimensions. Any idea how to do it without having to export to my hard drive first? Thanks!

You can set it to whatever you like, and it makes no difference. Most of the time (depending on how you saved it), it will still open as "72".
When you save an image for web, the resolution is usually stripped from the file. It's simply not there anymore. That's probably what happens in the Lr facebook module, and that's why there's no entry for it.
But when you open that image somewhere else, that default of 72 ppi is assigned. Most apps need to know what to do with a file if asked to print it out. So there is a default, and that's usually 72, mostly by convention. With that default ppi, it prints out at a comparable size to what you see on screen at 1:1 display.
And when people see that, they think "hey, web images are 72 ppi". But they're not - that figure is just inserted there by the opening application.

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.

How do i change the resolution of my screen shots that i captured from my desktop?

How do i change the resolution of my screen shots that i captured from my desktop?
Thanks.

Do you mean you want it saved with the resolution set to something other than 72 dpi when the capture is made, or do you mean you want your capture saved at a higher resolution than the captured area?
1) If the first, there are ways to change the default capture format .png to something else, such as .jpg, .tif and a few others, but as far as I know, the resolution will always be 72 dpi. You can use Preview to change the resolution of the captured image under Tools > Adjust Size. You will get this:
If your intention is to set the resolution for professional printing defaults, then change the resolution to 300. Turn off Resample image to prevent the image from actually having more pixels added. The resolution will simply be reset from 72 to 300 dpi without changing the actual number of pixels in the image. It will also print a lot smaller since the output device will now use 300 pixels per linear inch instead of 72.
Leave Resample image on if you need to maintain the dimensions. Be aware however that scaling the image (resampling) will add a lot more pixels to the image than are there to maintain size. Expect the image to get very soft and pixelated looking when adding 417% more data to the image than it currently has.
2) If you mean you want the OS to actually save the captured area as a high resolution image at size, that can't happen. A capture is a 1:1 grab of the display buffer. It can only capture what's there. So if you capture a 700 pixel x 500 pixel area, that's all the bigger it can be without scaling it afterwards.

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.
Links to this question:

https://discussions.apple.com/message/3207516#3207516
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.

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)

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.

You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

How to Change the Resolution on the Monitor? Model HP 2011X- (20" flat screen monitor)

"input signal out of range, change settings to 1600 x 900 -60HZ" How to make this change?
I have a HP desktop PC and I recently purchased a HP 2011X (20" flat monitor). Initially, I hooked it up to the pc and it worked and I did not have to install anything. But the other day, I ran the Microsoft's Fix-it-Center and ran the resolution problem detection even though I did not have any problem with the resolution. Within 5 seconds, a dark black screen appeared with the following message:
INPUT SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE
CHANGE SETTINGS TO
1600 X 900 - 60HZ
It displays this message and then the monitor goes to sleep. I press the buttons at the bottom of the monitor and from time to time, it displays a resolution screen that shows the monitor's resolution is not 1600 x 900 but that HP recommends that setting. However, I cannot change anything and that small screen with black background disappears in a few seconds. I cannot see anything else and I have tried the following:
- Turned the PC on and off several times and the message is still there
- Unplugged the power to the monitor and re-plugged it and no change
- Unplugges the video cable from the PC to the monitor and re-plugged it and nothing
Please help. I cannot see the PC screens at all even though the PC is on. All I see is the black background screen with white text with the above message. How do I fix this when I cannot see the Windows screen or from the monitor.
Thanks,
Bob

Hello IE_PC_User,
Let's try to get your computer to the boot options and go into VGA mode to see if you can change the resolution then.
Start up your computer and start tapping away at the F8 key.
Once the computer presents you with the boot options choose the VGA mdoe.
It should boot up and everything look really out of place. Set the proper resolution and then reboot.

FCPX: changing the resolution preferences when burning a dvd?

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.

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 grub resolution from within grub console

Hello!
I'm looking for a way to change the grub resolution from within the grub console. Note, that I am not looking for a way to change the grub resolution in the config files!
This is why I'm asking: my laptop stopped booting whenever the grub resolution is not set to 800x600x32. This is very strange and I do not know the reason for this issue. It hasn't been a problem so far, because I'm just using the config file to set the resolution to 800x600x32.
Now I'm trying to reinstall, but the live discs won't boot since the resolution of grub is not 800x600x32. I tried dropping to console and typing
set gfxmode=800x600x32
set gfxpayload=keep
load_video
insmod gfxterm
but nothing happens.
So the question is: Is there any way to change the resolution of grub from its own console? Or is there a way to manipulate the live images before burning them in order to start grub with the desired resolution?
Thanks so much!

Did you add
terminal_output gfxterm
at the end. Although I doubt whether that will change the currently set menu resolution.

You may want to checkout grub-emu (available in grub-bzr aur pkg, not in core/grub). It emulates a grub menu from which you can test all graphics related stuff. I haven't tried it myself though.
