Export resolution stuck on 240ppi

Why is it when I export in Lightroom the resolution is always set to 240ppi. Even when I change it to 72 or 300. It is always 240. It used to not be this way.
Thank you

Lightroom 1.3 (this began happening recently when I was at 1.2)
OS 10.5 (this began happening when I was using 10.4)

I am sure it is unchecked. I have tried it checked, unchecked and even clicking it on and off a few times. I have tried it at 72ppi and 300ppi with it checked and unchecked. The final exported file is always at 240 ppi.
I have also turned off resize to fit and have tried different color settings just to see if it would unstick the 240ppi.. arg. :(
Hmm. Any other suggestion?
Thanks for your help!

  • Set exported resolution for each image within InDesign

    I'm generating a document in InDesign destined only for the screen (as a PDF) and I'm wondering whether in CS6 the user can set the exported resolution separately for each image. i.e click on a image and set the resolution for that image. Reason: to allow end-viewers to zoom in on certain images and retain quality.
    And while I'm on the subject of changing resolution, a few years ago someone wrote a script for me (in response to a post), that when you clicked on an image within InDesign, resampled the original to 300 dpi, saved it, and made the necessary adjustments in InDesign so the image stayed the same size.
    Can CS6 do that? Or do I need to dig up the old script?

    > ... destined only for the screen (as a PDF) ...
    The developers of PDF will thank you for that statement!

  • Aperture Export Resolution...

    Does anyone know how to change the export resolution in Aperture? Any versions I export are 72 DPI regardless of format (tiff, jpeg, psd), while the RAW masters export at full 300 DPI resolution.
    Choose an image, and right-click on it. Select Output>Export Version. I've tried every option, and it always exports at 72 DPI. I know this because I open the exported image in Preview or Photoshop CS2, and the information on the file is that it is 72 DPI.
    I've checked in the preferences, but can't find any way of changing this. It seems rediculous that Apple would put out Pro software for Photographers that would only export files at web res.
    Anyone know how to change this?
    20" iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Okay, so there are thrid party apps to do it, and I
    greatly appreciate you explaining them, but is there
    no way to set Aperture to export at 300 dpi for
    everything except web and e-mail outputs?
    I guess what I'm getting at is that Aperture is
    supposed to be the ultimate workflow solution,
    eliminating all other applications except Photoshop.
    Surely there must be way to set Aperture to export
    at 300 dpi.
    The thing is that DPI really means nothing independent of resolution - it is only a kind of hint to other programs as to what the size may be, but does not by itslef really control print size or anything else. Just a default size in some applications. Even though I have given a workaround for setting DPI I really don't use it myself as I simply export and then use the images in other programs, like InDesign, or send them off for printing.
    Aperture currently simply ignores these values, passing them on from the original RAW file. So right now it has no way to alter DPI as it does not know what it is for any file. Aperture does not care, it does not need to as it scales images up or down as required by the task at hand.
    I agree that Aperture should have some way to select a DPI for export, or possibly let you edit the metadata value for the resolution in a version (along with lots of other metadata). But I also think it really doesn't matter that much, as all that really matters in the end is how many pixels there are in the image you are outputting. That is something Aperture does let you control (though not quite as well for upsampling as I would like).
    Does this make sense, or am I not understanding
    something here?
    No, you are understanding the current limitations perfectly. What is it you need the DPI set specifically for?

  • Export resolution stumper. . . .

    I'm not very proficient at iMovie, so I'm perplexed by how I increased my export resolution the last time I created a movie.
    Here's the background, I have iMovie 11 and my video camera is a Panasonic PV-GS500. Each time I've exported a movie to the media browser, it limited me to a large movie. However, the last time for some reason, it allowed me to export a 1080p version. Now I'm exporting another movie, but again I'm limited to a large movie. Anybody have any idea what I did last time to increase the resolution to HD. The camera, media, and software have remained constant for what it's worth.
    Thanks for the help!

    Then I would try - just to in-circle the possibly culprit
    • Start a new User Account (Apple-menu / System Pref. / Accounts / Plus sign)
    • Log out of this Account and into the New one (Apple-menu down to las option)
    • Now start iMovie and import some material and re-try Share function
    If this now works - then my Guess is that the problem is in
    • iMovie pref file/s - or -
    • iMovie Casche files
    in the old account - and that trashing them will be the medicine (as iMovie now has to create New and error free ones)
    This is a very common problem - most often due to - Panic/Forced Quits - as they induces errors in lot's of places ( finally adding up to a Major Break-down ). So by
    • Trashing these files
    • Running - Repair Permissions (Disk Util tool)
    • Running - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but now You first has to start Mac from DVD or ext. Hard Disk)
    I can keep this Major problem away as long as possibly.

  • Display resolution stuck

    The display is stuck on 640 X 480.
    When I switch it it goes back when I open anything.

    OK. It was a guess anyway.
    I changed my screen resolution and then did a search of system files to see what was changed today.
    I sorted by descending date/time and that file was at the top of the list.
    I opened it with the Property List Editor program and saw it contained the changed resolution, so I took a guess that deleting that file and rebooting would set you straight.
    You might look for recently changed files with likely names in your personal settings folder:
    ~/library/preferences
    and try deleting and re-logon (you don't need to restart if you're only changing your own files - a re-logon picks up the change)
    Sorry - I don't have a better guess. Good luck

  • Custom book export resolution problem in PDF - only 150DPI!?

    I've been using the custom book option and when it came to exporting my PDF I have run into a problem involving the undocumented output resolution of a PDF at a given size. The custom book dialog allows you to create a book with a certain size in inches, but this really has no real meaning since the resolution of that output cannot also be specified in either the layout option or the print dialog. For example is it 150dpi or 300dpi? From some investigation it appears to be locked at 150DPI.
    Now I would have thought that Aperture was intelligent enough to just treat the album layout (this is my assumption) as some kind of smart object, where the layout is resolution independent and the final output resolution can be determined when printing to a printer or PDF. In that case the dialog for the setup of the custom size is correct. However, there is no option that I can see in the print dialog to actually specify the output resolution; Aperture is left to its own devices to specify an output resolution, which is undocumented.
    I use a printer that accepts JPG or TIF files and I need 300dpi for an album size of 10x13 inches. This equates to 3900x3000 pixels per page. I am able to export to PDF in the print dialog and then used an automator action to export each page of the PDF as JPG and reimported back into Aperture 2 in the same action. In the PDF>JPG conversion option there is the ability to set the DPI to 300. That works fine and the resulting JPG images show as 300dpi (3900x3000px). When looking at the images though they look a little soft, which leads me to believe that my action was simply interpolating a 150dpi image in the PDF into 300dpi.
    So to test this, I noticed that if I exported just one page of the album as a PDF and opened the PDF in Preview it does indeed tell you that it is 13x10 inches (no mention of the pixel resolution though). So, you can actually reimport a single page PDF into Aperture and if you do this it appears that the actual resolution is 1950x1500 and that equates to 150dpi for a 13x10 inch layout.
    So there are two things that could possibly be going on here:
    1. The actual layout of the album is locked at 150DPI and the save to PDF simply takes that and exports a PDF at that resolution.
    2. The layout of the album is resolution independent, the size of the album (in the custom dialog) simply controls the aspect of the page layout, and the print dialog (save to PDF) is exporting as 150DPI as default. When I run my automator action (these are the Leopard PDF actions), the save each page to JPG action is up-res'ing the image to 300dpi.
    This is where I need help. Is 1 or 2 (or something else?) happening. Also, does the PDF save as JPG12? That too is undocumented.
    If number 1 is happening I may have to set my album size to 26x20inches to get a 10x13 inch page at 300dpi.
    If number 2 is happening I need to find a PDF/TIFF/JPEG print driver to enable me to export at 300dpi as the print dialog in not standard (and we don't get the nice 'save as' drop down where we could do other things. So far my search has led me to CUPS-PDF, but that still doesn't allow for resolution to be set: http://www.codepoetry.net/projects/cups-pdf-for-mosx
    Why can't Apple just figure this thing out correctly and allow the resolution to be specified by the user - what an oversight given all of the feedback requests for the custom album tool. We need 300dpi as a minimum as we can always down-res if we want.
    Any ideas? I've got albums to send to clients! Help!
    Thanks

    When you import any PDF into Aperture, I think it rasterizes any PDF you import to a 150dpi flat image on import, even if it was a high res PDF to begin with. But theres the thing, PDFs don't have dpi (as such). Any shapes or text is a vector so don't have a DPI as they'll scale when printed. The images use their DPI when they were imported from the program that created the PDF.
    So I did a quick test and put a page I made from Aperture in to Acrobat and ran a preflight check on all images to check the resolution. It came back at 349.956 ppi, so this example was over 350dpi.
    I've attached the screenshot

  • OSX Maverick iMac Resolution: stuck at 640x480. How do I fix this?

    This is my iMac:
    - 21.5 inch
    - late 2012
    - 2.9 Ghz Intel Core i5
    - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512MB
    - OSX 10.9.2
    After updating to Mavericks, the screen resolution somehow got stuck at 640x480 and I'm unable to change it. Going into display settings and holding down the "options" key, does not show ANY display resolution options (see image attached). Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Export resolution and camera resolution question

    I am thinking of buying a new camera- specifically one that will film video in widescreen as well as widescreen photo's. I have been looking at some that have a maximum video resolution of 848x480, which will come out fine.
    With iMovie, so far I have been using my wife's Casio camera which records video at 640x480 (4:3 ratio), and I have been cropping the video in iMovie and exporting as 640x360 widescreen. The next resolution up from 640x360 in iMovies export settings is 960x540.
    My question is, if my new camera has a video res of 848x480, when I export that in iMovie, will it have to be down-scaled to 640x360, or will there be an option to export at the same resolution (I don't think it will let me upscale it to 960x540)?
    Thanks.

    As long as you don't have "constrain" checked, it won't resample.

  • Iphoto and picasa exporter get stuck exporting

    I am using iphoto 11 on a macbook pro running OSX 10.7.5. I have uploaded photos from iphoto to Picasa many times before, but three weeks ago, iphoto got stuck every time it tried to export photos to picasa. It simply says that my photos are uploading, but stops and gets stuck when it reaches 288k on the first photo. When I try to upload photos one at a time, it will get to the end of a photo, and then say it is "finishing upload" and never finishes. I have tried exporting directly with Iphoto to Picasa and then using my picasa uploader application, and both have the same problem. I have plenty of space on my picasa account, and it allows me to log in without any problems. Any ideas of what is wrong and how to fix the problem? Thank you.

    That Picasa exporter is made by Google - though it hasn't been updated in years. But they're the folks who can help with that.

  • Screen resolution stuck at 640 x 480

    Hi folks,
    I'm using OS 10.4.9 on a Power Mac G4 with one of those grey eggshell-like Apple displays. A week or so ago, I lost all resolution options (I always had it at 1024 x 768) and I'm stuck at 640 x 480. Nothing else appears in System Preferences besides this option.
    In the past a simple restart solved the problem; not this time. I already zapped the NVRAM to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    I searched the forums with no satisfactory solution to the problem.
    Anyone have suggestions?

  • Animated swf export resolution

    I created a 3 minute animated cartoon episode in Flash at a resolution of about 500x300 pixels. I'm wanting to export it as an mov of a larger size, however, it's pixelated and it appears that flash is still rendering at the smaller size even though the final video is the right size. Is there any way to export a smaller flash animation to a larger video size without changing the size of the artboard?
    I've tried doing this but the animation is so complex that it bogs the entire program down when I try and modify it. The only option is to look into alternate export options. I've taken the swf into After Effects and increased the size but After Effects continually crashes right in the middle every time. How convenient. Anyway, I'm about to go nuts, any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply!  I had considered that fact, even though I couldn't find any documentation for it.  However, even with a static mask, drawn onto the layer, the rasterization still occurs.  Is there a way to have even a static mask produce a non-rasterized export?  It seems it should be the case considering it's a 'supported feature.'   Do I need to import vectored shapes from Illustrator as masks, instead of drawing them in AE?  And yes, Continuously Rasterize is checked (althought it doesn't seem to be necessary in any other of the Illustrator layers).   Any ideas?

    Here is what finally worked for me. Go to:
    ~/Library/Application Support/QMaster/ and delete all the files in there. I think you only need to delete stuff in Storage, but I removed everything to make sure. (Hold Option key and select Go menu from the Finder to get to ~/Library/)
    Restart.
    Empty Trash (it wouldn't let me before the restart becaus files were in use).
    Now everything works for me and Share Monitor can finish exports. Even deleting all programs, using the Digital Rebellion removal tool, and trashing preferences of other apps did not work, but this Qmaster file set did.
    Good luck!
