CS4 - Export TIFS to higher res than 72 dpi?

I am exporting frames from Premiere Pro CS4, but the export of tifs seem only to be at 72 dpi.
Can I set the resolution higher -- or is there any other format I can export a frame so that it is higher than 72 dpi
Thanks,
...Rowby

If you have to go to print with the resulting image, you might want to think about "stair-stepping" your increase, i.e. increase ppi by 10%, and then 10% and then 10%. This will yield slightly better results, than just doing a straight 72 to, say 300 increase, regardless of the resampling algorithm used. While on that subject, explore the Bicubic-smoother, and Bicubic-sharper. Compare the differences in their result, based on your subject matter and on your usage.
The "stair-stepping" can be easily written into an Action. I'd keep it a simple 10% and assign an F-key to it. Hit the F-key as many times as you need. Before you do your Action, do the test with the resampling algorithms to determine which works best for your subject and your usage.
Note: this is all done in PS, and not in PrPro - just to be clear.
Also, Dr. Brown has a clear tutorial on resampling via "stair-stepping," but I could not locate the URL at this moment. If I do, I'll post that link. He goes into a lot of interesting and useful scientific detail, IIRC, but also helps one set up the Action.
Good luck,

Export/Save as High-Res Jpeg

Is there a way to export a document @ a different resolution than 72DPI? I know I can set the horizontal/vertical scale to save it at a larger dimension at 72DPI, but I need the file to be actual size and 300DPI.
This is part of a larger process, and I'd prefer to do the entire process from Illustrator, and not have to open the files in Photoshop to change the size/resolution.
Also, is it possible to change the color mode to CMYK or Greyscale for the exported Jpeg?

Thanks again, I checked the Javascript reference for CS6, and don't see any 'app.system' method listed, and I get 'app.system is not a function' when I try test it. That sounds like it would do what I wanted if available. I could probably add a call to run it from Bridge into my script, but one of my goals is to not run any additional applications if possible.
The main application is written in XOJO (formerly RealStudio), and is a very large program which handles a lot of aspects of project management for my position. This particular function was originally written as a separate Javascript to save out barcodes from a supplier's illustrator file. It has expanded and been incorporated into the application so it now stores the saved barcodes (EPS) into a database, as well as does some other processing after the files are saved. I am currently trying to add a high-res jpeg into the database as well, and would prefer to do so when the original EPS files are saved. Another part of the application can create the jpegs from Photoshop, but I'd prefer to do everything from within Illustrator.
I've got it mostly working for now, just have to deal with an issue with the file paths returned from the jpegs not being recognized properly.

Export settings for high res playback.

Good afternoon. This is my first post.
I am editing a video that i shot with a canon 60d. files are .mov and the sequence is two hour long.
I am using a pc with i5-3570k, 8gb ram, nvidia gtx 660 2 gb and 1tb 7200 rpm hdd. editing on premier 7.0
I would appreciate any advice on how to export it with maximum quality. And please provide any necessary equipement needed to playback the video.
As of now, I will reproduce the video on an event a week of now, there I will be assigned a tv.
I would like to play the video at maximum resolution. Lets assume the tv is 50" full hd.
Should I play back from an external usb hdd? or from the computer plugged via hdmi, or from a usb flash storage media?
Which codec should I use, I figure png lossless would produce such a large file that the tv/my pc would have trouble playing it.
I noticed that h.264 produces a larger file that mpeg 2.
Which codec should i use? should I download codecs from a third party? please help.
Question number 2: what equipement is needed to reproduce the video, a proyector? or a tv? a blueray player or reproduce from usb? What if I wanted to reproduce the video on a 80" screen? what would i need? is a proyector higher quality than a tv?
Any advice is welcome.

You will be fine with an H264 1080 Export
Keep the Bit Rate High.
Is a proyector higher quality than a tv?
Can be . Depends on the rez of the Projector. ( Think digital Cinema projectors)

[SOLVED] fglrx defaults to higher res than monitor supports

Hey Guys,
This could easily be an issue with my xorg.conf. Even with the "example" xorg.conf from the ATI section of the Arch Wiki I am having issues where GDM starts at 1920x1080, but my monitor only supports 1280x1024 (19inch LCD). I can change this after logging in on a per user basis, but GDM is still starting at this higher res. Here's my current xorg.conf (pertinent sections):
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon 9600"
Driver "fglrx"
Busid "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
Horizsync 30-70
Vertrefresh 50-160
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Radeon 9600"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
Defaultdepth 24
EndSection
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "DRI"

I've always used nVidia cards in the past, so not as familiar with setting up ATI in Linux. Any tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How do you change an iphoto size to 300DPI high res for exporting

How do you change an iphoto to 300 DPI high res for exporting to email?

Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

To export: File -> Export.

Edit Low-Res, Export High-Res

Is there a way to edit with low-resolution video files (for quicker rendering times) and when the project is finished, final cut can access the corresponding high-res files for output?
Gopro automatically creates .mp4 files and .lrv files after a shoot. The .mp4 files are 1080p and my computer has trouble even wathcing them. The .lrv files (stands for low-resolution video) are like 480p and would be awesome to edit with, as long as final cut could keep track of all the snips and affects and apply them to the corresponding high-resolution .mp4 files.
anyone ever heard of or done anything like this? seems like it would help a lot.

interesting.. multipe drives, i didnt even know FCP kept such good track of all your drives!
I'm no good in 'details', but like to explain 'concepts':
when you cut a video, you don't literally splice a 100MB file into two 50MBs ones
think of FCPX basicly as a data-base: there's a pool of data (Events); there are lists of instructions (Projects) - the lists don't touch the content. Same concept with Proxies: the Preview window is so tiny - why shoveling the GBs back'n forth, if a 'reduced' version is on display anyhow? No need to edit 'natively': the 'edit list' = Project has to use the originals only on export.-
so, FCPX handles here <counting> six drives. And I'm just a soccer-dad, doin' weekend reports (ok, using 5 cams, all diff. standards - shoestring budget) - no problem. It's me who needs EventManagerX not to get lost with all this games and players and seasons and stuff
vice versa: one of the biggest mistakes is to confuse this data-base by moving files 'behind its back' - soooo many reports 'Events lost!', just because some smart moved data OUTside FCPX via Finder - no wonder, the data-base loses track!
last word about the concept of data base: that's why 'file names' and manual folders are completely waste of time - tags are much better, add as many key-words and meta-data you like - and let the data base find the clips for you (a computer is much faster in search'n find).-

Exporting high-res

I am trying to export high res jpegs from lightroom, but when I do and try and upload to make a bigger print (11x14) it says resolution is too low. What settings should I use? The files are raw from the start. Do I have to use tiff files to make them high enough quality for that big if a print?
Thanks for any help.
Sarah

Your pixels per inch (ppi) is unnecessary high.
For display on a computer monitor 72 ppi, max 100 ppi is right.
For printing on your printer usually 240 ppi, or 300 ppi is right, unless you have a high-quality printer with a native resolution that is higher then select that resolution.
But besides the ppi you have also to select the size in inches - it's just left of the ppi window.
So for your print of 11 x 14 inch select that size or select 11" for "Short Edge".
You have set your quality to 100. That is fine for a print, but unnecessary high for display on a monitor. For that choose a value between 60 and 80.
BTW this value determines the compression of the jpg, the smaller the quality-number the higher the compression and the smaller the file size.
Now, having said all that, the question remains why do you export your image in order to print it?
Is there a reason that you don't just use the print module?

I don't know a way to do it through Muse, but if you have Acrobat you can export your Muse as HTML to your local disk then have Acrobat make a PDF out of it.

Confused between best/high-res export from FCP

Oh the pain of making stuff up as you go along!! I need to say that since what I am about to ask may sound incredibly amature, but then again, that's what I am.
I use FCP6, and usually send my timeline straight to Compressor and choosing "DVD:Best Quality 90 minutes." Now being the amature I am, I just went for the option with the "Best" in it. My videos look great, but now I am getting a question from a client asking if their dvd will be in High Res? This made me carefully inspect my settings in FCP which are as follows:
Frame Size: 1920 x 1080 (HDTV 1080i (16:9))
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
Field Dom: Upper (Odd)
Editing Timebase: 29.97
QuickTime Video Settings
Compressor: Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
Video Processing
Reder 10-bit material in high precision YUV
Motion filtering Quality: Best
So I want to make sure that I am providing High Res. I realize that HD is not DVD and therefore my DVD's are SD. But I want to make sure that I am giving the best under my program'(s) ability. So I've search the chat rooms and have found that some people say to export timelines via QuickTime as with Current settings and that will provide the best. However, I have heard also that I should use Compressor for this. The problem is that I realy, truly don't know which settings to choose from if I go with Compressor based on my Timeline's settings.
Finally, the really stupid part of my question(s); Is High Res considered HD, or just the highest possible with SD, or simply Blue-Ray?
And there you have it. Thank you so much in advance.
Crayton

Hey Shane, thank you for your response.
I have some follow up questions for you;
1. Do you recommend exporting my timeline as a QuickTime and then simply sending that to authoring, or QT then to Compressor or Compressor only?
2. My authoring software is DVDSP. Under the preferences, I always and obviously have it check for SD. Should I change it to HD? This is a weird question I know since there is no HD for DVD, but it confuses me further since why does this option exist in DVDSP? If I did use this option, would it make my DVD un-watchable? (if that is even a word
3. Finaly question and soon to be an issue that I am going to be faced with. I have been filming for a client for a year now and I've filmed it all in HD. They now want me to begin to prepare the videos to be broadcast on TV. The station they have been working with has told them to tell their "video guy" (me I guess) to make sure that the end result or output be in HD. I have to put together 28min and 30 sec segments each week once the show begins. Again, I've filmed, captured and edited in HD, but how do I get them their segments? And should I also export them as QuickTime Self Contained? If I did the QT, doesn't that simply take your timeline files and make them into one viewable file but not compressing them thereby leaving it in the HD format it was edited in?
Crap sorry, I decieved you.......I made it look like there was only 3 questions...........sorry:)
Thanks again man,

Illustrator CS4: Exporting as cropped image, unable to define Crop Area or Crop to Artboard

Preface: I am using Adobe Illustrator CS4 Design Premium, Windows version.
I am currently designing some projects in Illustrator CS4. I am NOT using multiple artboards, only one. On previous versions of Illustrator, users could simply Export> an image as a JPG, and the image would be appropriately cropped to either the Document size, or predetermined Crop Area marks which were easily chosen in the Object dropdown menu.
Since the ever useful Object > set cropmarks function was removed with the advent of CS4, I am unable to Export an Illustrator file as a high-res JPG or TIF using the supposed Artboard as the cropmarks. In other words, when trying to export my project, the saved/exported image includes all content placed in the document, even material that extends beyond the Document size or Artboard size. Why is this? What am I overlooking?
In the Artboard dialogue or settings, I cannot locate any option to set the Artboard as the default crop area for Exporting, saving, and printing, etc.
After doing a bunch of research trying to find a fix, I have only discovered that there are thousands of other people posting on various forums regarding this same issue, so I think a detailed and complete explanation or instruction on how to do this would be very helpful and appreciated.
Other than in the Save For Web & Devices settings, there seems to be no options to Export using cropmarks, or export a file to be properly cropped to the Artboard dimensions. Again, I know this function is possible when Saving for Web, but not with a normal high resolution Export as a flattened image such as a jpg... or at least I can't find out how.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Yeh this is pathetic and in my opinion a bug or false advertising. Since they haven't fixed it i believe this is false advertising and misleading for users who may have upgraded for this "feature".
I do know some CS2 users who are holding out from upgrading for this reason!!
I wonder what CEO's or higher ups would say if they heard or could understand this issue...How does program loose features meanwhile Adobe has how many billions in resources to fix these type of issues for their users who paid a pretty solid chunk for software that should work properly.
Need some competition to fire them up! (any alternatives to illustrator anyone actually using?)

Looking for a high-res drawing app for the iPad

I've tried a few of the available iPad drawing apps like Sketchbook Pro and Brushes. It's a little hard to tell, because documentation tends to be short on details, but it appears that most of them (with the exception of Brushes) only let you work and export images at 1024 by 768 resolution. That isn't really high enough resolution for professional work.
Brushes is the only exception I've found. You work on the iPad in Brushes at 1024 by 768, but they have this OS X app that can convert your exported images to a higher res.
To me that's crazy awkward and time-consuming, and I think Brushes is OK as a drawing app, but not necessarily what I'm looking for.
Can anyone give me some better insight into the matter?
Is there some underlying technical reason that all of these apps have a hard limit of 1024 by 768 resolution?
Is there an app other than Brushes that can produce pro-level (high resolution) image files on the iPad?
Thanks,

How can I generate/copy to high-res rasterized output?

Okay, I admit, I'm very new to vectoring, but I'm running into an annoying rasterization problem with Adobe Illustrator CS3.
Ok, so I have a vectored image. It's low-res (72 DPS), because it's basically just lines. The preview window in Illustrator shows beautiful, totally smooth lines: picture-perfect. I "Select All", copy it into Photoshop (as pixels), and lo and behold, the image looks totally crappy! All jagged edges, no anti-aliasing, etc. So I figured I just make the image a bit larger, set the document raster size to 300dpi, and saved the new .ai file. To no avail, either. Even transformed it to higher res. Didn't solve it either.
At long last I resolved to just taking a bloody screengrab from the preview window, thinking that would at least give me a clear shot. Alas, I thought wrong. Illustrator still passes a crappy image to Photoshop! (Or rather, what you get in PtrScrn is apparently still vectorized data that Photoshop continues to show horridly). So, now I'm faced with an Illustrator preview window that can show the vectored image better than anything else, but with no way to export it in that quality to a rasterized image! Very frustrating.
I hope someone knows how to solve this. Thanks.
P.S. I wish I could show you, but I can't make the screengrabs!
P.P.S. I'm talking about "Overprint preview" above. "Pixel preview" also looks crappy in AI. So, the question then becomes, how can I output my stuff in "Overprint preview" quality?

Please do not pay attention to the rude and sarcastic Doug Katz
No, please do.
Threads like this are quickly becoming the most common type in this forum: Someone who has obviously spent zero time looking at the documentation, just launches a program which they admit they know nothing about, and then come here asking for help using ambiguous gibberish that makes absolutely no sense in the context of the program. Then they try to "cover up" their sloth with "cute" or "hip" colloquialism.
Doug's sarcasm is dead on-point, and is a very clear and succinct way to drive home what I just said above (which you will no doubt consider "rude," regardless of the fact that it is just a simple and direct statement of the truth).
The thread then proceeds to become a lengthy series of blind-leading-the-blind posts, with everyone making mere guesses as to what the thread originator is actually doing. To wit:
It is not necessary to use the Smart Objects option to obtain smooth rasterization of something copied from Illustrator and pasted into Photoshop. That is not the purpose of Smart Objects. (See the documentation.)
It sounds like Iwakura-san is merely pasting something into Photoshop, seeing the initial unaliased display inside the transform box, and assuming that something is wrong. When you paste vector artwork from Illustrator into Photoshop, you get the Paste As dialog. You can then select Pixels, instructing Photoshop to rasterize the vector artwork (Photoshop is doing this rasterization, Iwakura-san, not Illustrator) to the resolution of the current document after you have positioned and scaled it as desired. As long as the artwork is shown in its transform box, you can scale it and position it because it's still on the clipboard as vector artwork and only a low-res preview of it is being displayed, to facilitate your positioning it. When you have it positioned and scaled as desired, doubleClick inside it, and it will then rasterize to the Photoshop document's resolution and antialias.
But again...that's all just more guessing at the meaning of a very poorly described question.

Is Motion or After Effects best for animation of High res. photographs

Hi everyone. I’m a novice when it comes to Motion, having worked more with FCP, and I am encountering some confusing differences!
I’m making an animation from a high res. Scanned ‘photograph’ of a flower, and I hope to maintain the great image quality, plus working with a short sound file (breathing) as a guide for the movement. (The final output is going to be large scale projection using a HD projector, which I understand is 1920 x 1080, with smaller versions for pre-view purposes.)
The move to Motion from FCP has phased me (co-decs, pre-sets etc.. so many options) I could re-size it to suit, DV, HD or most of the ‘sizes’ supported by Motion but I’m lost as to which settings would be best for my purposes.
I have done various tests with different pre-sets and have found that the longer and more complex the animation gets, the more jittery the playback is. I am wondering if there is a way I can work with Motion that resolves the the perforamnce thing, or if what I am doing ( length and size of animation) would be more suited to After Effects.
I love Motion, esp. the language used in the manual and would prefer to stay with it.
Thanking you all. I really want to understand this whole ‘video’ to ‘still-image’ move I’m making.

First of all, you could do your video in either program and would likely get similar results (depending on your relative skill in each program). There's certainly no reason not to stay in Motion if you're happy with the interface. After Effects has just as many confusing settings as Motion when it comes to output so you're probably not going to feel any better there.
Considering your output, I would start your project with the Broadcast HD preset. That will give you the 1920x1080 frame size which should look great on your projected screen. I would tend always to work in an HD framework when working with stills since typically they'll be of high quality.
Make sure your stills are prepped properly for video (which is different from how they would be scanned for print work). Scan them in at a good size resolution 2500 px along the longest side at 72 dpi (high dpi is not necessary for video work). Also, use uncompressed pic formats like TGA, TIF, or PSD.
You didn't mention how long the sequence was, and length does make a difference at times because Motion is run primarily through the graphics card as opposed to the processor. This is a primary difference between Motion and AE.
When you are talking about jittery playback, keep in mind that it's the gfx card that is providing the "real-time" playback to begin with. So the larger the project, the less likely that the card is going to be able to play back in real-time. If timing is an issue you can change the view to draft (default is normal), or you can do a RAM preview (CMD+R). AE has NO real-time playback without a RAM preview, so keep that in mind.
One more thing. There are several ways to do the same thing in Motion. Some of them put more pressure on the card than others. Keep your project as simplified as you can while working, and turn off things like thumbnails and previews to speed up performance.
Good luck,
Andy

EPS to high res JPG

I am trying to write a script that can batch EPS to high res JPG (20 MP and over). I can set this up basically, but I have run in to a few problems.
The maximum scaling in jpeg export options is 776%, but some of my EPS files are very small in size - so 776% does not create 20MP rasters.
So, I need to find a way to enlarge both the vector and the artboard to a larger size before exporting for jpeg. I have no idea how to do this.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello [Jongware]
I'm slightly confused.
e.g. 4500 pixels x 4500 pixels are 20,250,000 pixels. Thats IMHO more than 20 MP, or not?

.jpgs/.pngs no longer save as high res, previous high res .jpg/.pngs show up as medium res

I need some serious HELP! All of a sudden, without doing anything that I know of, my saved exported .jpgs/.pngs are no longer saving as high res. Also, when I pull up high res images (I know they are high res), they now show as medium res in Illustrator. I've used these program for a very long time, and I have no clue why this started a few days ago? I didn't even realize it was converting older files to medium res until today.
Any help would be most appreciated! I have never encountered this problem before, and I've created thousands of images for clients web/print.
Thanks so much!

Tara,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
I believe 5) is least likely to be relevant.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
