Changing DPI in Drawing

I create many things in Appleworks Drawing. However when I try to submit them to my printing company for posters or postcards, they claim they need them at 300 DPI. I believe the default setting is 72 DPI. How do I change this setting to 300 DPI?
I've tried looking everywhere and the only info I can find is pertaining to the Paint mode which I've never used, my concern is only with the Drawing mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Rob

Hello
A tip I used from time to time:
I create a new Draw document of 4 pages width and 4 pages height.
I coiped every object from the original doc and paste them in the new one.
Then, I enlarge them with the factor 4.1666
When this is done, I save as a TIFF or PNG file (one which is not compressed).
After that, I may open the file in any bitmap app to change the resolution parameter without any scaling.
So, if the original object was 72 pixels wide,
the enlarged one is 300 pixels wide
which give the same 1 inch object in the wanted 300 dpi resolution.
When objects are made from draw shapes it's quite easy.
When they contain text, it is not so easy because we can't adjust exactly the font size.
Paint objects must be completely redrawn to get neat reasults.
But, it is the only soluce to get the correct resolution when we try to do something with the wrong tool.
AppleWorks 6 was not designed to generate 300 dpi docs !

  • How do i change dpi?

    Is iphoto capable of changing dpi apart from export at different size files?

    Thanks Larry, I should have been more specific, I was looking more at reinterpolation whereby you can determine the size (inches) then choose the quality (dpi) as in some other software I have used? I was wondering if iphoto has some hidden wonders?

  • Changing dpi in hp photosmart 2410

    I'm trying to help someone who's not exactly tech-savy scan a document on their scanner, but I'm doing it long distance and they don't know how to share their screen with me. They can scan the document, but even though they're saying they're upping the DPI, I'm only getting images at 96 DPI max from them.  They say the last scan they sent was set at 300 DPI, but it came through as only 96 DPI again. Can someone please send me a screenshot of the controls or give me a written description of how to change the DPI so I can help them? I've been told they're scanning through the computer, not via the controls on the scanner itself. I looked through the manual, but it wasn't helpful in giving a good visual or describing how to change DPI, and I can't seem to download the driver software myself without having the printer.

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, and thanks for posting. I'd like to help you with the issue you are having setting a DPI while scanning. This printer is an older model, so full feature software is not available for most current Windows and Mac operating systems. Do you know which operating system your friend is running? It is unlikely that he or she is using HP Software to scan, as there really isn't any available for operating systems newer than Windows ME. If they are using Windows Fax and Scan, the window should look something like this: I hope this helps!

  • Change DPI scaling inside RDP session (2008 R2 / 2012 R2)

    We have two servers:
    Server 2012 R2 RDS 
    Server 2008 R2 RDS
    Users are constantly reporting being unable to change their screen resolution. After some digging, the reason they're trying to change the resolution is because their text is too small to see. DPI scaling is obviously the answer, but when users go into the
    setting it is greyed out and cannot be changed.
    Now, for Server 2008 R2, I've found this link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2726399/en-us
    Does this hotfix actually do what I suspect/hope/blindly-pray it will do? Does it re-enable the DPI options if connected via RDP? The article doesn't actually say what it does, just that it will "fix" the issue.
    Next, for Server 2012 R2, I've found this link:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2012/06/13/remote-desktop-services-what-s-new-in-windows-server-2012-release-candidate.aspx
    The second last section mentions "Support for Changing DPI in Remote Sessoins." Having logged into this RDS server, this is not the case, the setting is greyed out just like in Server 2008 R2.
    What needs to be done to get this working on both platforms? My end result is I want users to log in and be able to go into the preferences, move the DPI slider to their desired text size and fix their problem without resorting to workarounds like decreasing
    the resolution of their local PC to increase the apparent size of text.
    If this isn't possible, is there a way to configure RDS to run at a lower resolution permanently but to stretch to fit any screen resolution? Right now, if you drop the resolution on an RDP session, it just takes up part of the user's screen. In the newest
    RDP clients, I notice the Smart Sizing option, but it apparently isn't "smart" enough to stretch higher than the base resolution of the session.
    I've looked through literally years of forum posts and articles and nothing seems to point at a user-friendly fix such as take the slider, choose your size, done.

    Hi,
    For Windows Server 2008 R2, you may need to apply the Hotfix in your post.
    The DPI adjustment is not available in a Remote Session (RDP)
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2544872
    You cannot change the DPI setting through a Remote Desktop session on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2726399/en-us
    However, when I remote to a Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 machine, I have no such issue.
    Please check if your clients have the latest update for RDP installed.

  • How do I change DPI in Photoshop CC without changing the pixel dimension of the file?

    I used to be able to do this in Photoshop CS6 by simply clicking the check boxes in the "image size" dialog box:
    scale styles
    constrain proportions
    resample image
    (all boxes UNCHECKED)
    Then input the dpi (usually converting a 300dpi print file to 72dpi for web). And the pixel dimension will stay the same.
    In CC the only option I see is "scale styles" which does not apply to the pixel dimension of the file.
    Please help. I would hate to have to do this function in CS6 all the time.
    CS6:
    CC:

    Just uncheck the [ ] Resample checkbox, then change your Resolution.
    Change the units from Percent to Pixels if you want to see pixel dimensions.
    Once you've successfully run it through (after OK), note that it will remember your units settings the next time you use it.

  • Batch change dpi from 72 to 300 and export as jpg

    Hi All,
    I have searched high and low, and have yet to find a script that will accomplish this task. I am in need of a script that will change Illustrator's default 72 dpi, to 300 dpi so I can print a series of (about 200) respectable looking images. They also need to be exported to jpg.
    Is this possible to do in batch?
    I have tried countless approaches. The closest I have come is using Graphic Converter Pro, unfortunately it cannot change the dpi from 72 to 300 (as far as I could tell). Any help is greatly appreciated. I have access to Mac OS and Windows. I've been trying to tackle this for quite some time. Thank you!

    Hi, thanks for your responses. I do have Photoshop. What I am trying to do is take about 100 .ai files and export them to .jpg. However, they are going to be printed, and any sort of batch export as .jpg I have tried so far has resulted in substantial resolution (72 dpi). I am well aware of how to change the resolution for exporting each file individually, however what I want to do is batch the whole process together. I will try the resizing approach. Thanks both of you!

  • Howto change DPI, without xorg.conf if possible?

    So, once and for all I'd like to have DPI issue solved
    I want to have DPI set to 96. At this size fonts and everything seems at normal size, I don't want to argue about that...
    Practically,
    $ xdpyinfo | grep inch
    resolution: 121x121 dots per inch
    I want it to be:
    $ xrandr --dpi 96
    $ xdpyinfo | grep inch
    resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
    I have intel 965M chipset, using the intel driver:
    xf86-video-intel 2.6.3-3
    xorg-server 1.6.1-1
    So, when I run xrandr manually, it gets fixed to 96x96 but how to do it automatically?
    I think I tried all of the common methods that are advised to this problem, like adding
    Xft.dpi: 96
    into ~/.Xdefaults and ~/.Xresources.
    I also changed /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc into
    exec /usr/bin/X -dpi 96 -nolisten tcp
    but no result.
    I remember that DisplaySize option in section monitor in xorg.conf used to work but now doesn't. (Not sure however whent it stopped working and if it was also intel driver). I even put
    Option "UseEDID" "false"
    into Section Screen...
    I would prefer if this could be done without using xorg.conf cause now I only have Option "DontZap" "false" there.
    I use kdm, if that matters.. but the dpi is wrong in all DEs.

    Okay, both of the recommended settings work.
    First:
    caskale13c wrote:Find the ServerArgsLocal value in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and add -dpi 96 (or 146) to it.  It will be located in the [X-:*-Core] section.
    Second:
    add
    xrandr --dpi 96
    into /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
    For making it work also with an external monitor I had to add
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    SubSection "Display"
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 24
    Virtual 1920 1080
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    into xorg.conf. This wasn't needed before.
    Anyway, now it all works fine
    Thank you, guys.

  • Change dpi for Ruler Guides

    Hello.
    I'd like to use exact size in dots when making layout for my document.
    Ruler Guide set to "px" displays pixel values for 72dpi, but I'll print the document in 300dpi. I'd still like to measure dots exactly, is there a way to change Ruler Guide pixels to 300dpi?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick replies.
    What I'm trying to do is to print enlarged pixel art illustrations, which are very low resolution images that are meant to be enlarged.
    The problem is, when we enlarge those low-res images, their new size must be exactly divisible by their original size. Let's say, if I have 7x7 picture (I know it's too small, just for the sake of example), it should have 14x14, 21x21 or maybe 70x70 frame, but not 22x22, since this will lead to scaling artifacts. The artifacts are only visible if you look very closely (or, alternatively, look from far away), but it appears that they are able to mess with pixel patterns slightly.
    In other words, each pixel art enlarged "pixel" should ideally have the same size in real dots, or else there'll be some approximations, which are harmful to clean pixel art. Not neccesarily, but it'd be cool.
    So, if it's possible, I'd like to define exactly how much points on print will the frame take in any given dpi (300 dpi is just an example).
    Eugene Tyson is pretty close with what I wanted to do. But it'd be even greater to position Ruler Guides using real points in their X and Y coordinates for given dpi, not only 72 dpi (otherwise I'll have to count all those grids manually). I guess that's impossible?
    Thanks.

  • Changing dpi changes resolution

    Does changing the dpi of an image change the resolution of the image without changing the size?
    I have an image that is 300 dpi that I need to enlarge 400% changing the dpi to 75.
    I don't think manually changing the dpi to 600 will actually change the clarity of the image when enlarged 400%.
    Is that correct?
    Thanks
    Cindy

    First, DPI (dots per inch) is different to PPI (pixels per inch) despite the terms very often being wrongly interchanged. Photoshop works with pixels, not printer output dots.
    http://www.google.com/search?q=dpi+v+ppi
    Changing resolution with "Resample" enabled will result in changed pixels, but no change in the physical size (inches/cm/etc.) of the document.
    Changing resolution with "Resample" disabled will result in unchanged pixels, but there will be a change to the physical size of the document.
    You will not increase the clarity of an image by enlarging it.
    The best way to learn what happens is to try things and observe the results.

  • Change width in draw line for LabVIEW 6.1

    Hi
    as I couldn't solve the problem up to now I'm posting this question again with the hint that I'm looking for a solution in LabVIEW 6.1. LV 7 has already a SetPen.vi where the style and the width can be chosen.
    Link to the other posting
    Original Text:
    HI!
    I wanted to draw thicker lines in a picture control in LabVIEW 6.1. I found some posts where they mentioned that I have to edit the according VIs. So I played a bit around but didn't get it working. I'll attach pictures of the diagrams of "SetPen.vi","DrawLine.vi" and "Draw
    MultipleLines.vi". Can anybody tell me what to change or provide a suitable vi? Is there a tutorial where the code and the generation thereof for picture controls is explained?"

    Andy,
    The format and specifications for the picture data type and unfortunately not published for public use. The supportability of the picture data type only extends to the functionality provided in the corresponding VI�s shipped with LabVIEW. You are welcome to play around with how it works, but know that it is not supported. I hope this does not provide too much of an inconvenience.
    Have a great day!

  • Apple Preview- Change DPI

    Is there a way to change the DPI of a photo within Apple Preview? I could also use iPhoto. I'm trying to avoid using Photoshop as it always saves in an Adobe format.
    Thanks,
    Alexander

    Hmmm. Sorry bout that. Perhaps there is not a default way in Preview. This may not be the route you want to go, but I use an amazing program call imagemagick (www.imagemagick.org). It has a command line interface and allows you to do nearly anything you can think of with simple commands.
    For you, all you would need to do is open a terminal and type:
    'convert filename.tiff -density ### filename.tiff'
    Replace ### with your desired dpi and you're set. Again, sorry if this is not what you are looking for, but I just wanted to throw it out there.

  • Changing DPI

    How do I change the resolution of an image to 300 dpi and keep the width and heigh at 2.25x3.25?  Every time I change the size under image size it automatically adjusts, and my printers have requested to be that way. As you may tell I am not proficient in photoshops and am just trying to step by step my way through this issue.  Thank you

    Hello,
    If your image already is 2.25 x 3.25 inches, just open your image, then in the top PS menu bar go Image>Image Size and in the Image Size Dialog that appears change the Resolution to 300 Pixels/Inch. (DPI is a term used incorrectly here, should be PPI - Pixels Per Inch)
    Make sure "Resample" is checked in the lower left corner of that dialog window. This will allow you to change your PPI and keep the current print dimensions.
    Since this process actually changes the number of pixels that make up your image, I would suggest doing it on a copy of your photo.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot change DPI when exporting a PDF page into a raster image format

    Since I installed the Mac OS X 10.5.6 update, I can no longer change the resolution of the images I'm trying to export (for example, PNG or TIFF files) from PDF documents.
    The resolution is always set to "150 pixels / inch," and even if I change the amount to lower or higher, or change the unit to "pixels / cm," the document is exported in 150 pixels/inch, while the settings set previously in the "Save As" dialogue to export the file have been reverted.
    Is there any workaround?

    Let me guess, the DPI is just some data in the metadata of the file, right? I thought I would get more pixels in the image instead. Let's say, an image at 200x300 pixels at 150 ppi would be 400x600 pixels at 300 ppi, which is what I thought it would do.
    Am I wrong?

  • How Do I Stop HP X3500 Mouse Changing DPI Settings When I Hold Down Left + Right Buttons?

    I have purchased the HP X3500 wireless mouse, and frequently interact with applications which require me to simultaneously click on the left and right mouse buttons. Every time I do this the DPI value is changed (since holding them both down for 3 seconds each and moving the mouse changes the DPI). This is due to a feature with the mouse.
    How can I disable this? The mouse itself did not come with any bundled software.
    thx.

    In order to make use of the right-click inside an open session you have three options:
    Standard PC two button USB mouse
    Apple Magic Mouse: To enable right-click, clickSystem Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.
    Apple Magic Trackpad or MacBook Trackpad: To enable right-click, click System Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable Secondary click.

  • Changing DPI settings [Solved]

    I tried editing my xorg and adding "DisplaySize     338 270" so that my DPI would be 96x96 (on a 1280x1024 resolution) but my dpi doesn't seem to change after ctrl-alt-del or reboot. "xdpyinfo | grep resolution" still tells me Im running at 85x86 dots per inch.
    BTW I have a GeForce 6600GT, Nvidia driver 190.42, and Samsung 940b monitor.

    Is your resolution correct? 1280x1024 is what you want?
    I don't use xorg.conf, so I don't know if this will work for you. Please, try one at a time.
    * Modify your .xinitrc and add 'xrandr --dpi 96'.
    * Add 'Xft.dpi: 96' to your .Xdefaults.
