Changing Desktop Image Size

I used to be able to choose whether or not a desktop image would be kept the same size, stretch to fit the screen, or tile to fill the screen...but now I don't have that option.
I'd like to use a solid background colour, but they're 1x1 images, and don't even show up.
How do I fix this?

By dragging the file "user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist" to the trash, I was able to resize my desktop images.

How to change the maximum frame rate of the camera by changing the image size?

I have two acA2040-180km cameras which are connected to 2 NI PCIe-1433 framegrabbers, I am monitoring my cameras by LabView, maximum allowable frame rate is about 187 for full resolution images, but I just need a small fraction of the images, I know if I make the images smaller, FPS will get higher, but it isn't possible by changing the image size in NI MAX, I've also tried to change the size by defining the region of interest in the grab setup.vi, but it would be after going to camera so it isn't the case as well, so I need a VI to go to the camera before starting to take photo and define the region of interest which is going to be captured, would you please help me to find it?
Please help me, this problem get me stuck!!!

Have you tried changing the image size using property nodes as Bruce suggested? Do remember with Basler cameras, reducing the width only will not affect the transfer speed but the reducing the height will. Have a look at the frame calculator to understand what you frame rates you can acheive with certain settings:

How do I change the image size by pixels

In the older version of photoshop you could change the image size and change it by pixels independently. With photoshopcc if I change the width the height changes. How do you change the 2 values independently to get the desired size?

You'll want to use the Camera icon to upload your screenshot images when you reply.
But jml007 has the answer I think you want. Change the units from inches to pixels and click on the chain link to turn it off and enter your W H values independently.
Mark his answer as correct if this solves your issue.

System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash?

System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash? All other aspects of System Preferences work.

just that that is one method, and lacks provision for working boot image and for an emergency - Lion gives a small minimal emergency boot environment but may lack all the utilities you need to use and run, even some drivers that your mac requires for add on PCIe.
Just grab and look through Help in Carbon Copy and SuperDuper, both excellent and each has their use - together - for cloning.
And do you have two TM backup sets? ought to consider that also, rotate daily or make a weekly set. Otherwise you are putting all your eggs in the proverbial one basket.

OSX Mountain Lion - Cannot change desktop image

I used an image I'd downloaded as desktop wallpaper. I have tried to change it to the default image, other images, sold colours, but the same image always returns after I reboot (warm and cold boots). Note that I can change the desktop image, but it always reverts back to the old image. The changes do not stick. I cannot locate the image in Finder. Any ideas?

I have the same situation as Marc; however, I do not have access to images. The multicolor circle keeps turning.
This application (Desktop & Screen Saver) is not working anymore.
Thank you.

How do you change the image size and resolution in photoshop everytime I change the width the height changes my measurements will not stay

Can someone assist me with changing image size and resolution. each time I change the width the height changes and vice/versa?

There's a chain link between width and height. The point is to keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise your picture would get stretched.
You click on the chain-link to shut that off and you can adjust width and height separately.
Also could you give us your version of Photoshop, what OS you are running it on (Windows 7 for example) and what exactly you want to do with your document?
Resolution is the print term for how many pixels will be printed on an inch of paper. It doesn't apply if your image is intended for screen viewing.

How to change an image size from MB to KB

Okay I am at a loss how to change an image from 6.8MB to 290KB or at least in the KB's so we can keep from getting the file is too large message from where we want it to go to. I am at a loss when I move the inches smaller the size is still too small. Daughter is trying to move a picture to a site called my space and she keeps getting a message that the file is too large...

How do I change the image size in Save for Web?

I just upgraded to Illustrator CS6 on a PC. I try to save my graphic in Save for Web and want to alter the image size, but it won't change, it just goes back to the original size. If I change the percentage box, the values change. I have tried linking and unlinking the proportions and nothing. What am I missing?? I don't have time to guess the percentage to get to the exact width I need.

Make changes in the Image Size section of the Save for Web. Input new values in Width and press Tab key to move to Height field. Click on the Link icon to unconstrain proportions. As you press the Tab key again to go out of focus of the Width and height boxes, you will see the changes reflect inside the Save for Web window. If this doesn't work then make sure you have updated Ai to 16.0.1 or 16.1.0 depending on the type of installation (from Disc or from Creative cloud) respectively.

Problems saving changes in image size

I have some digital files that I need to resize for printing. Most need to be sized to print full-frame on 8.5 by 11 inch sheets of paper, while the others need to be full-frame on 5 by 7 paper.
I'm using a trial version of PS Elements. I call up the image in Elements, then click on "Image," select "Resize" and then "Image Size."
Then under "Document Size" I put in the width and height I want in inches, make sure the Resolution's at least 300 and click "OK." Then I click on "File," then "Save As," and click "Save." When the "JPEG Options" box comes up, I click on "OK." But later, when I call the file up again, the changes I thought I'd made aren't saved. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Did you check "Constrain proportions" and "Resample Image"?
Since you want to arrive at 8.5x11" and 5x7" you will need to crop to these dimensions, since the aspect ratios are not the same.
Try the crop tool. Enter height, width, and resolution on the tool's option bar.

Cannot change desktop image

Yeah. I changed it before by going under the apple (top, left), clicking system prefs, and then going clicking 'desktop images and screen saver.' But now I can't change my desktop image because when I attempt that process of clicking the apple and clicking system prefs and then clicking-what should be there but isn't-the desktop and screen savor icon, which is plaining missing. Its on my girlfriend's mac. I don't know what went wrong.
Anyone know what happened to that sweet, sweet icon? I'll really appreciate anyone, who could help fix the problem for me. Thanks!

Use Pacifist to extract a new copy of the DesktopScreenEffectsPref.prefPane from your Mac OS X 10.3 installation disks, and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X.

Cannot change desktop image/wallpaper

Forgive me if this is solved elsewhere. The desktop image cannot be changed from the one that came with the unit. I could select another image briefly(my own and stock mac) for a while but recently, when I try to change it,it just flashes the new one briefly and stays the same. Might this have something to do with my kvm? All other display functions work fine. Although,another issue I have is that,occasionaly the mac will forget resolution when switching back and will have to detect what it is supposed to be. That I'm sure is a KVM issue. The first,I'm not so sure. By the way,the PC has no issue at all. With the KVM anyway.

I have the same situation as Marc; however, I do not have access to images. The multicolor circle keeps turning.

I am still having problems understanding changes in image size

Howdy
I hope someone can help me. I have an old record album (one that has never come out on CD). I recently recorded the album over to a CD recorder. Okay great, I now have the CD. Years ago I gave a copy of the LP to my brother. I want to give him a copy of the CD with the album cover as artwork. Okay I have a commercial scanner at my place of work so I can scan the album cover which is roughly 12 inches by 12 inches. I scanned it at 200 dpi. So I end up with this large image. CD covers are around 4 3/4 inches. I played around with the image using another program and thought I'd changed it to this size but it never worked out right. Now I have been trying to play around with the image in Adobe and just can't quite understand this. To try to understand this better I actually scanned a cd cover at 200 dpi and then opened this image in adobe. The size of the image says its 4 3/4 by 4 3/4 but it doesn't look like it would printout that way. It looks like it would print out much larger. I saw somewhere in this forum that adobe is set to something like 72 ppi and I think I sort of understand that but I guess what I need help with is the process by which I convert an image of the album cover which is roughly 12x12 to be 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 without losing too much resolution quality. Can someone walk me through this? I guess I don't understand how to resize the larger image to 4 3/4 by 4 3/4 inches so that it actually prints out at that size. This is driving me crazy!! Thanks.
Joe

Joe,
Try not to get too bogged down different resolutions - not least because monitors display images at a different resolution to printers.
The good news is that you have a scanned image that is larger than you require which means downsizing it is doing to be easier.
Go to the 'Image' menu, select the 'Resize' option, select 'Image Size' from the sub-menu.
A dialogue box should appear on screen. At the top is a section entitled 'Pixel Dimensions'. No need to worry about these, but for a 12" x 12" image at 200ppi, the measurments on my screen show an overall file size of 16.5 MB with the width and height each showing 2400 pixels.
Focus on the section below it entitled 'Document Size'. Hopefully it displays the sizes you have mentioned: 12" wide, 12" high, 200 PPI resolution.
Firstly, click in the box where the units of measurement are given and change them to 'cm' (CDs are 12 centimetres square unlike their predecessor LPs that were 12 inches square). The corresponding values in the sizes will change automatically to reflect your new choice of measurement. On my screen, where it did show 12 inches, it now shows 30.48 cm. Click on the figure alongside width and change this to 12. If the 'Constrain Proportions' option is ticked, the height will change automatically too. You'll notice that the resolution increases automatically from 200 to 508. Just click OK and your image size has been changed.
Best Wishes

10.6.7 update changed desktop image blue Automatic Graphics Switching OFF

Desktop image changes to default blue whenever you Untick Automatic graphics switching or starting cs4 or other graphics application that uses the AMD graphics or high performance graphics card. Will not change to any other image until you retick the automatic graphics switching. Could be a fault or just Apples way of saying your now using the more powerfull graphics card HOWEVER when you switch back or Tick Auto Graphics Switching it does NOT revert to the image you had.
Anyone else experiencing this since 10.6.7 update.

(Oops, time expired on editing my previous post while I had breakfast with the kids.)
Apple's OS Installer seems picky about which disks it will install onto. It seems to require a disk with an active version of the OS. I've never been able to use Apple's Installer to put OS X onto a blank external Firewire drive, for instance. I'm not sure if it will update any external FW drive, though I can't say that's for certain. I expect the same limitation may be true for attached USB2 drives. Panther installers were picky this way too.
What I'm looking for is a clear explanation of what Apple's Installer needs to see to make the red exclamation mark go away. It has a very concrete idea about what's an acceptable target drive. Unfortunately, not knowing exactly what it's looking for, I'm at a disadvantage to give it what it wants.
I'm nearly to the point of calling AppleCare. It seems a bit ridiculous that I'm having so much trouble getting the OS Installer put the original OS that came with my CD-Mini onto my CD-Mini's hard drive. But maybe there's a trick to it I just haven't tried yet.
BTW, I was using this CD-Mini almost exclusively as a media player below my plasma TV. I'd like to be able to watch some EyeTV recorded shows this week. Right now this CD-Mini is little more than a paperweight due to lack of a workable OS.
Thanks again.

Question: How can I change still image sizes in Program Monitor

All of a sudden, when I create a new title, it saves it as 1920 x 1080. But my video is only 720 x 480. I had hoped it was just the view in the Program monitor, but I saved the project, exported it and viewed it, and sure enough, my full page titles fill the entire screen, but my video is a tiny box in the middle of it. I have tried to change the titles properties but can't figure out how. I then changed the export size to 720 x 480, but it didn't help.

Correct your sequence settings or create a new sequence with the correct settings and import your existing sequence into it.
