Changing Resolution and Document size

Hello - I have a jpeg from a digital camera that I Saved As photo.psd with an original Document Size of 44" x 66" @ 72 ppi resolution.
I am using CS3 and I want to prepare the photo for printing while maintaining the highest quality possible. The first thing I did was uncheck Resample Image. Then I changed the resolution to 300. This gave me a Document Size of 10.56 x 15.84.
I want to enlarge the Document Size to 16" x 24" (the same proportions). So, it seems to me that the next step is to now check Resample Image and put in my new Document Size of 16" x 24". I would then apply some Unsharp Mask as desired.
So, should Ifollow the steps above or do you recommend a different workflow?
I've read that Photoshop will upres very well up to 200% and all I need is 166%, so it should work ok. Also, do you recommend standard Bicubic or Bicubic Smoother?
TIA

What you're suggesting will work, though you don't really need to do it in multiple steps. One step, with resampling checked, once you set all the fields as you want, will do the trick.
And for all the hype and mystery surrounding the two alternate choices for resampling, in all my work for minor resampling I always find I prefer Photoshop's original Bicubic method. For extreme upsampling I prefer, personally, a plug-in called Genuine Fractals.
Also, modern print drivers are getting very good at size matching... If the image quality in your file is to your liking, you COULD just set the print size in inches (without resampling) and be done with it. This would yield an image at a resolution lower than 300 pixels/inch, but would save you some work, and it may very well be that you will not be able to see any difference by letting the driver do the resampling as needed.

Changing resolution and image size doesn't change result on screen?

I'm using Photoshop CS3. I am trying to change the resolution of several images that will be printed in a newspaper. So the current images are 72 ppi and really huge -- for example 36 x 27 inches (document size), and when I change them to 300 ppi, the image sizes shrink to about 8 x 6 inches, as I expect. But the image I see on the screen doesn't change. So, for example, when I open up the image originally, it's at 33% and the entire image is visible. After I change the resolution, and the image size has changed accordingly, the image still appears the same and it remains at 33%. Shouldn't the image shrink on the screen since its size has shrunk? Or if it remains the same on the screen, shouldn't the percentage shift? I mean if the document size is now 8 x 6, it should be able to be displayed at 100% and not fill my whole screen... I'm so confused. Thanks...

gradded,
The "Document Size" area of the Image Size dialog is just to indicate the size (in inches) that your document will be printed. The ppi adjustment has nothing to do with what is displayed on your monitor. Your monitor doesn't care anything about ppi. The monitor contains a certain number of pixels and after you change that ppi setting, the monitor will still have that same number of pixels.
As long as you leave the "Resample Image" box unchecked, your image size (Pixel Dimensions) will not change. You will see no change on your monitor. If you check the "Resample Image" box, then your image size (in pixels) will change.
Hope this helps.

Change font and font size in a textedit

Hi,
I am using a textedit UI element in read only mode. its getting the value from context attribute. I need to change font and font size ( atleast the later) and make it bold.
how can this be done ?
plz help......
Thanks

Hi Thomas,
I saw from your response in the post above that you might be able to answer a question I have about the portal theme.
We are using several textedit elements in our portal, however the font size of text entered in those textedit fields is smaller than the standard global text in the portal. I have tried in vain to find the setting in the portal theme that controls textedit elements. Do you happen to know which one it is exactly?
Many thanks for any suggestions/help you might have
Paul.

Merge TIFF file Resolution and page size differs. Clue ?!

Hi All,
I'm able to merge multiple TIFF files into one. But the resultant multi page TIFF file has different resolution and page size than from the source files. The width and height will get exchanged, also those texts are appear stretched.
Noteably, it happens particularly with FAX pages of TIFF files, not with any others (like printed page TIFF files).
can you help me ? Please write here your points.
Thanks a lot,
Vasu

I see I attached the link to the wrong discussion. It should have been this one. Scroll down to the workaround posted by Tomas, from August 26th.

Anyway, yes, that's sort of what I mean. On my iWeb 06 website, I've scaled all my pictures down to 800px x 600px with a resolution of 72dpi for online viewing. The original photos, say 3000px x 2000px at 300dpi, are simply saved on my harddrive and not used in iWeb. The thought behind that was for faster loading times for people visiting my website. I'm pretty sure when I saved these reduced copies in Photoshop, the default color profile was sRGB. However, when I look at my site on my office (Windows) PC, the pictures appear dark, especially Black & White ones. But the color profile is a separate issue covered in Tomas' workaround.
Now, maybe I'm operating on a false assumption, but I thought with this new download feature in iWeb and .Mac Web Gallery you would want to use your photos in full resolution so that when a visitor sees a picture they like, they can download the picture from your site AND could even print it if they so chose. Again, I'm assuming you would use your full resolution photos when you build your site and iWeb would do its own scaling for viewing on the web, but the full resolution photos would be somehow held in reserve for the moment when someone selects 'download'. I'm just concerned that using an unscaled, full resolution photos, would slow down the page building speed so much, that visitors would be too border to bother waiting for the pages to load. Thanks.

How to Change BOM and Document Lab/office only without using chagne number

Hello expert.
Is there any Function Module for change BOM and DOCUMENT lab/office only without using change nuber. or
Please let me what are the tables i have to update for change BOM and Document Lab/office in report.
Regards
srinivas

Nirav,
The Integer type UDF is the answer.
If you have a large amount of values to convert, you might create a new Integer UDF ("UDF_INT"), and use a GlobalChange to move them. Example: where "UDF_NUM" is not equal to " ", "UDF_INT" = "UDF_NUM".
This will put your values in the new field without decimals.

About printer resolution and paper size

I need information about how to use the class PrinterResolution and his relation width paper size.
When i provide a cross a feed resolution to this class bigger values results in low resolutions: why? i dont now the DPI resolution meaning.
Please somme code example about this theme...Thanks a lot...

Amy,
1. I just took a picture today, and when I look in Image>resize>image size the dimensions are as follows:
W=2288px H=1712px W=31.778" H=23.778" @72px/in. resolution
When I change resolution to 325 px/in., W=7.04" H=5.268"
As the resolution is increased, the dimensions decrease. This is what is called an inverse relation.
Why did I change to 325px/in? Because for printing it is desirable to have a resolution of 240-300 px/in, or so. Also, note that this resolution gives me almost a perfect 5x7 size format, and one can crop off the excess readily. If one desires 4x6 size, one can crop to that dimension.
2. I enhance the pictures next, leaving sharpening for the last step
3. I save primarily in PSD and/or JPEG. Both PSD and TIFF allow one to retain layers, are lossless, and thus one avoids degradation with sequential editing. JPEG is is a compression format which conserves disk space (in comparison to PSD and TIFF), and is most likely required for your e-mail and your photo finisher. I save some of the JPEG files. I usually elect baseline optimized, and the JPEG allows me to elect quality 8, which is good for my purpose and results in a manageable file size.
4. Right after I download my picture files from the camera, I burn them to a CD (i.e. before I do anything else), and right after I finish the final edits I burn them to CD as well. This is my "film", if you will. If the computer fails or if I should accidentally delete a file from disk, I still have it available.
I am sure that others will post, but that is my current work flow.

Very confused about ppi, resolution, and image size...

I have read so much on these things and even posted along these lines here and there, but remain totally confused.
Say the size of my pictures is around 2000 x 3000. Once I download them to PSE, the resolution is 72ppi. Is this default and could I/should I change this?
I generally do four things with my pictures.
First I edit them.
Next I email to family members.
Then I order prints (99% are 5x7 or smaller)
Finally I store them (on computer with CD backup).
Now, space is a bigger concern than quality since I print small prints generally. So what would be my best options for saving my files, but getting very nice prints?
Right now, once I edit, I save my files in .jpg, baseline "optimized" at 72ppi. Only following the computer defaults though, not because I think this is best. Would I be better off saving in TIFF or is this not necessary?
Any links with further info would be appreciated also.
Thank you,
Amy

How to find out the Pixel Dimensions and Document Size of placed images?

Is it possible to find out the placed image details like Pixel Dimensions(Width,Height) Document Size(Width,Height) in illustrator through scripting. Kindly advice me with some examples.

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbaa316.59b84fd8
I hope the snippet therein will get you started.
But after all, when you place an image via pi=layer.placedItems.add() it should pop in with its default dimensions, so that you have pi.height and pi.width ready.
Is this what you are aiming at?

Can I change resolution and embed font in cloud acrobat?

I need to be able to change resolution on one manuscript pdf, so I purchased the monthly cloud acrobat, but now I'm not seeing the capability to change resolution on the document.
I don't have an ongoing need for high resolution pdfs, so my normal MS Word to pdf is usually fine.

Nothing in the world can increase resolution if that's what you want. Reducing resolution is done via Save as > Optimized PDF.

Video out without changing resolution and projecting a window

Hi,
Every time I need to project my screen, I have to change screen resolution to a smaller one - which makes all my icons bigger and changes everything.
Is there a way to project the actual screen as it is - with the same resolution?
Also, if I wanted to project a single window (and keep on working on my computer outside that window without having the audience watching) how could I do? An example for this would be projecting a presentation from my computer whilst i'm reading my notes on the same computer's screen... Is there any software to do this?
Thanks.

Only if the projector supports your Mac's native screen resolution, and few projectors at this time will run at that high a resolution. Otherwise you would have to run the system in extended desktop mode so that the screen and projector run independently. Given your second comment, that might be what you really do want to do. Keynote, I believe, supports presenting on one screen while having your notes on another screen.

Photo resolution and jpeg size

Back in the early days of iWeb 1.0, there was a problem with uploading large (file)sized photo and the corresponding slow loading times for visitors to your site. If you used your original sized photos on a photo page, they would be displayed at 800px x 600px and could easily be over 500kb. The original photo, if memory serves me correctly, was still uploaded to the iDisk and acted as a drag of the whole website. Thus, the solution was to reduce all photos to 72dpi and size the photos for the photo page at 800px x 600px in Photoshop or a similar program. It also meant creating thumbnails for my blog page entries to be dropped into the placeholder photo box (reduce transparency to 0 - the thumbnail would appear properly on the blog summary page) and use a pre-sized photo for the blog page itself.
My question then is the optimal size for photos. Can one use original sized photos in iWeb 08 or does it make sense to continue to pre-process photos, reducing resolution and size? I guess this would not make sense for photos that you plan to make downloadable.
This discussion about color management I find extremely valuable, as I was always disappointed about how my site looked on Windows machines.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5249784&#5249784
Since I'm going to have to re-process the color balance of my photos when I rebuild my site in iWeb 08 (I believe its not possible to update my current iWeb 06 site for reasons I mentioned in another post), I wonder if I could use the original sized photos as is or whether I should reduce their size and resolution (most of the photos I've shot digitally are at 300dpi, I have also scanned all my old analog photos at 300dpi). Thanks!

Is it possible to change theme and font size at run time?

I want to create a project where user can change the theme and font size at run time? Is there any facility to do so in captivate 7?

Not as far as I am aware. A lot of the text objects (such as captions) in Captivate are actually converted to images at publish time. So they're not able to be changed via stylesheets or variables.
You can use Advanced Actions to hide or show images or captions with different sized text. But not change the size of the text that is already in the caption.
Even if you make all of the on screen text dynamic so that it's coming from some variable value, you still cannot change the font size at runtime.

How do I change menu and icon sizes in elements 12

I have just installed elements 12 on my Lenovo Ultrabook which is running windows 8 - the icons and menus are so small I need a magnifying glass to read them.
Thanks

There's no option in PSE to change interface icon and menu sizes. You can change the Windows display font sizes (at least you can in W7), but that will affect all applications.

How to change font and font size of textarea item

hi -- I have several form pages which for the most part have text items. However, I do
have a few textarea items, and the font and font size of these are defaulting to
something different than the text items.
How can I change the font and font size of the textarea items, preferably in such a
way that it will apply to all textarea items in my app?
(And, to take a step back, where can I find the font and size definitions for these
items? I assume it's in the CSS (??) but don't really know what to look for.)
Thanks,
Carol

>
I do have one last thing I'd like to get resolved, if possible. Both the text and textarea items are
width 100 and height 1, but the textarea is a bit wider and taller than the text item. If possible,
I'd like to get at least the widths to match exactly, for aesthetics. (There was a much larger
discrepancy before the size and fonts matched...) Maybe it's just a characteristic of textareas
that they have that extra bit of width and height... I don't know
>
If you look at the generated HTML source you'll see that the APEX width value ends up in 2 different attributes: size for the text field and cols for the textarea. How each of these is transformed into the dimension used to render the control obviously differs, and how either is used will also differ across browsers and platforms. Where you want control over this the best idea appears to be to ignore the width value (APEX lets you blank this out, but resets it to 30 if the definition is subsequently edited) and explicitly set the width property in CSS, as I've now done on your example using HTML Form Element Attributes. This could also be done in a style sheet using the APEX-generated item IDs (P1_TEXT etc) as selectors.
The APEX height value is only applied to the textarea rows attribute: it has no effect on the text field. Again, how this works will be implementation-specific and is better handled explicity using CSS. (Anyway I'm doubtful about a 1 row high textarea? It doesn't affect the ability to enter more than 1 line of text. Looks confusing.)
cols and rows are required attributes for textareas, so APEX has to generate the attributes, but we're better off specifying width and height in CSS to override the browser's computed rendering.
(This is the first time I've put an app on apex.oracle.com... so hopefully it'll be smooth sailing for you.)Apart from not noticing that the region was cached and wondering why my changes weren't having any effect? Thought I was losing it... ;-)

Photoshop CS4 Extended, issues with resolution and font sizes on Mac

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended, which worked fine on my old 15 inch Macbook Pro, I think it was 2011 and had high definition display.
I now have a new 15 inch 'late 2013' Macbook Pro with retina display (2880 x 1800), and OS 10.9.4
I have 2 problems:
1) Using photoshop now, the resolution is a lot worse than with my old computer, even though my screen is higher resolution.
For example, the images themselves are worse resolution on my display, far less crisp and more pixelated than any of my other programs. And even the windows such as 'save as...' screens are terribly pixelated also. Is there a way to fix this?
2) When using the type tool, I cannot find how to change the size of the font. There used to be numbers which I could change, and also select the font type, both on the top menu bar always visible. Now there is not anymore. What there is there at the top, is what looks to be a bar on top of another bar. The top layer bar is on the left and reaches about one third of the way across the top, and I can drag it by its corner so it can extend more, but not less. It looks like there are things behind it which I cannot see, because it is over the top of them. Perhaps the text size and font options are stuck behind that. What can I do?
Many thanks!
Justin

Hi JJMack, you said "Seems like you want a low resolution display hook and external display to it." I do not know what that means. I did a google search for "low resolution display hook" and it came up with zero results. Also I do not have an external display, only my laptop.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate any solution.
Thank you!
