Exporting Versions to a specific pixel size

I want to export files for a slideshow that requires a pixel size of 1900 x 1200 , can it be done in Aperture ? , I have tried modifying the export preset , it does not work with (Fit Within ) is there another way ?
Thanks
Ray

Trythis,
What exactly is failing?
Your 1900x1200 size is a very strange size. That's not the 3:2 aspect ratio of an SLR or the 4:3 aspect ratio of point-and-shoot cameras. Also, Aperture will not enlarge pictures by choosing "fit within", since a smaller picture already "fits within". I.e., if you have a 640x480 picture, that already "fits within" 1900 pixels so Aperture will not make it bigger.
Also, Aperture will not crop your pictures on export. You may have to crop each picture first so that it has a 19:12 aspect ratio, and then "fit within" 1900 pixels. If the aspect ratio of a picture is 19:12 and the picture is larger than 1900 pixels, Aperture should properly reduce the size to 1900x1200, based on the aspect ratio.

  • Specific pixel size & dpi

    Is it possible to set specific a combination of size (in pxls) and dpi?  (in Illustrator CS5)
    I need to create a .png document which is 16x16 px and 96dpi.   The ability to chose the dpi size when setting up a new doc is very limited.  
    The only thing I've managed to do is create a 19x19 px 72dpi image, export  it "for web" and then take it into photoshop and change the dpi to 96.
    Is there a better, easier way?    Also, we're considering upgrading to CS6 - are these features better in CS6?

    Bidds,  you are confusing DPI (Dots Per Inch) with PPI  (Pixels Per Inch).
    DPI is a technical specification of the output or input of hardware devices like a printer when you print, monitor when you display your digital image, scanner when you scan to make digital images, and etc. For printers DPI specifies the size of the ink drops when printing. For monitors, DPI specifies the monitor's resolution or in other words the size of the monitor's pixels. The term DPI for monitors came from the use of the CRT displays (those heavy monitors and TVs in the past with big tubes) which are no longer in production. These displays used guns to shoot light at the back of the screen with variable size dots and the term DPI perfectly described the monitor resolution used. Today there is only LCD displays on the market and thy use fixed cells which define the monitor resolution. Because the cells are fixed, for describing the resolution of LCD monitors, people mostly use the term Pixels Per Inch when they want to describe the size of monitors' pixels (cells). And this can cause some confusion that you are experiencing.
    PPI is an attribute of a digital raster image. It specifies the output resolution of a raster image or in other words how large the pixels in the digital file will be output.
    In Photoshop you are setting PPI not DPI.
    Illustrator is a vector program. Vector graphics are resolution independent (have no pixels) and don't have PPI attributes. The PPI attributes are valid only when creating a raster image for outputting to devices like printers. Printers can print the pixels of your digital image with different size, and thus the image with the same number of pixels can be printed with different sizes. Monitors however don't use PPI settings of digital files to display images, instead they use the zoom level specified by the user using software, and by default the software programs (your browser for example) use 100% zoom which fits one image pixel to one monitor pixel. Because different monitors have monitor pixels (cells) with different sizes that cannot be changed on LCD screens, a digital image with the same number of pixels will be displayed at different size at the default 100% zoom on different monitors. Also have in mind that certain elements  like software interfaces cannot be zoomed (changed) by the user.
    So, the DPI mentioned in the link you provided does not mean PPI and it doesn't suggest in anyway that you should set PPI in Photoshop or any other program when creating images for the web. You got that wrong. It is only telling you that monitors with higher resolution (DPI) will display your image smaller so, you may want to make the image larger (with more pixels) and vice versa. The PPI settings in a raster image are simply ignored for display on monitors and thus on the web. That's why you don't have an option for PPI in Save for Web and devices. Whether an image with a certain number of pixels is 72, 96, 300, 1 million or 1 PPI (pixels per inch) this will not make any difference when displayed on the web.

  • Help with creating an action - anto fit an image in a specific pixel size

    I am trying to create an action that takes the image in question and fits it with a specific pixel dimension. Some of the images are more horizontal in orientaion (like a school bus) and some are more on the vertical end (Like a tall building) They all need to be fit within a canvas size of 260 px x 196px. They need to keep the images original aspect ratio. Is there a way to do this with a single action, or do I need to create an action for vertical oriented images and one for horizontal orientated images?
    I hope that makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Dean

    Photoshop also ships with a plugin to do that. In CS5 Adobe added an option to it to not resize images if they fit.  If you do not use that option small images will be resize up in size like the image processor script.  There was a bug in that option I do not know if Adobe fixed that bug yet they may have.  If not it easy to fix if you know a little javascript. The plug-in was changed from a compiled plug-in in CS2 and earlier to a Photoshop Script in CS3 when Adpbe added plugin support into the Photoshop Scripting feature. The plugin has built in action support so you can use it in an action. When the Action is played back no dialog will be displayed the values use while recording the action were recorded into the action step by the plugin and will be used unless you make the action interactive by turning on the steps dialog. The image processor script is not a plug-in so it can not be automated.
    The plugin is menu File>Automate>Fit Image.......

  • How to export .MOV in desired video pixel size and in a centered format.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SPK2 and Quick Time for Windows Pro Version 7.6.5 the latest release.
    I have a series of Quick Time .mov files which were shot at HD using a Canon Mark II EOS 5D camera. In total its about 28 GB of .mov files seperated into 78 different .mov clips. The movie inspector says they are .H264 format at 1920 x 1080 pixels
    When I look at the QTM Other Properties Visual Settings it tells me the .mov Transformation for Normal, Display and Scaled is 1920 X 1080 pixels. I have checked 'Preserve Aspect Ratio.
    I have figured out that I can drag all the individual clips into QTP thus making a single complete movie so to say. However, I have not been able to figure out how to convert this into a mpeg file (compressed ) that will display normally both on a PC when burned to DVD or to play on a standard DVD player or even play at the correct size on a PC.
    *Playback size not correct:*
    It also does not display at the requested size when the mpeg file is played natively on the PC wheter using Video Lan, Windows Movie Player, or just clicking on the file and letting IE open it. Their also seems to be a centering issue in which the movie is not centered in the playback window but rather is positioned in the upper left corner, theirby leaving white space to the right and bottom of the player. The original .mov file which I can view in QTP does not have this problem. In fact I have to use the Half Size option so as to view it entirely other wise its too large for my standard PC display.
    I want the completed movie to appear similarly to what one would get if they were to purchase a DVD movie at the store.
    I have gotten it to export in two different sizes reducing down to 256mb and 576mb respectively but both resulting mpeg files display smaller than I desire. The larger one is suppose to be displaying as 1280 x 720 pixels but does not appear to be doing so It appears more like 640 x 480 image. Also neither finished mpeg shows centered in the playback screen.
    My Export Options are set as:
    Movie to MPEG-4
    File Format: MP4
    Video Format: MPEG-4 Improved
    Image Size 1280X720 HD
    Preseve Aspect Ratio using Fit Within Size
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Key Frame: Automatic
    Resync Markers
    Yes, I also tried one using the H264 option at the larger 1920 x 1080 HD format which should be the native QT format according to the movie inspector properties and likewise it does not correctly in size and in fact is blurry.
    How does one take a .mov file and convert it so that it can be
    centered correctly, burned onto a DVD and play like a commercial DVD does.
    I have also tried Womble.com MPEG Video Wizard DVD 5.0 which does make a DVD which will play on a PC with the same incorrect video display image settings. It will not play on a DVD player.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    SOLUTION
    I discovered that the begining graphics of my video which were set at 1280 x 720 pixels were causing the entire video to be reduced in size. I recreated the opening graphics at 1920 x 1080 pixels added in about 90 frames of each graphic ( 3 seconds each ) and the video now converts to mpeg4 at 1280 x720 pixels filling the video screen.
    Later on I will test it at the full 1920 HD conversion and report back what I find.

  • Resize to specific pixel size??

    I have photographs that need to be resized to 676 x 138 pixels exactly. I have tried just resizing them as normal but they go out of focus. I have also tried cropping them first, and then resizing, but I end up with white space down each side. Can anyone help?

    Just to add what 99join said , you can also use the Image Size dialog box to do the same. Just follow the following steps .
    1. Press  shortcut "ALT+ Ctrl+I" or go to Image>Size>Resize to open the Image Size dialog box.
    2.  Select "Resample Image" and "Scale Styles".
    3. Now enter the values 676 x 138 into the width and height textboxes and press "OK".

  • Crop jpg file to specific pixel size?

    I know how to crop images but want to be able to view the resulting pixel measurements (ie, 1600 c 1200 pixels). I appreciate any help! Many thanks.

    I have PSEv.8. I can right click on the rulers, select "pixels" in the menu.
    Now the readout on the rulers is in pixels, and the readout at the bottom of the picture as well.
    Does that do it for you?

  • How can I cut a picture to a desired pixel size quickly?

    How can I cut a picture to a desired pixel size quickly? e.g. 600x600 pixel? I know the "cut" tool, but how can I cut it quickly to that exact size without having to cut and cut, is there a tool for cutting to a specific pixel size?
    THANKs

    Your "cheap" version of Photoshop is not Photoshop proper at all, nor was it just cheap.  It was actually a freebie, given away for free with some scanners and certain cameras.  It is as old as the hills, totally obsolete and unsupported.
    We don't normally deal with that here in the Photoshop forum and I doubt many users here will be familiar with Photoshop 5.0 L.E.
    Personally, I only have a faint recollection of having received bundled with my first scanner, and cannot honestly at this point tell you what it supported and what it did not.
    Sorry.

  • Why does the Pixel size of a jpeg change on a different computer?

    I have a Mac OS X version 10.8.2 and Adobe Illustrator CS6.
    When i save a file "for web" as a jpeg with a specific pixel size (320x50 for example) and then send it by email to someone, when they open it the dimensions somehow change.
    Even though on my mac when i "get info" from the jpeg the dimensions are correct...
    Please how can i stop this from happening?
    Thanks!

    DId you check clip to artboard when yo made the jpeg, did your image size shwo the correct dimensions.
    If you are checking the file on your end and it is correct, then we need to know more about what is going on at the recipeient's end and how they are determining the size is wrong.

  • My crop tool in CS5 does not give the option to crop by pixel size

    Have you tried entering the numbers with the suffix "px" in the entry fields?

  • Problem exporting image to specific file size

    I've had some professional images shot and I can see from the file size in Aperture that they range from 13 - 73 mb. I need to submit them as 72dpi and 300dpi files and they must be between 1 & 3 mb in size.
    I'm having no problems in exporting them at the correct dpi but the file sizes come out between 451kb and 1.8kb: 3 of the 6 images are too small, ie under 1mb.
    What I'm doing is 'export version', then choosing the preset option of 'jpeg original size', editing it to the dpi I want, setting the image quality at a max of 12.
    How can I get these file sizes to be bigger?
    Thanks, and please help me quickly because I've a submission deadline approaching!

    Well that's interesting Ernie. I did as you said, but also exported an image while I had the settings at 4288 x 4288 pixels. The resultant file size at that setting is 1.4MB. The file size when I went back to 'original size' is 795KB, exactly the same as before.
    So I thought - if I can go above original size in that way, then can I alter the % to be over 100? I tried at 150%, which it accepted, and I've now got a file size of 1.3MB.
    So I guess I've got what I wanted - not that I really understand it, because 'original size' clearly isn't original size at all!
    Sorry Leonie - I didn't answer your question - they haven't given me a specification for pixel size as in 4288 x 4288: only 300 & 72dpi, a file size of 1-3MB, and a they must be JPGs.
    And thanks for your help Frank - I've tried starting out with JPGs and with TIFFs as the photographer supplied me with both. I'd cropped some of the images but not others. I appreciate you offer of having a go with my images, but I think that - as I can go to over 100% - I've got it sorted now! Just hope there's no deterioration in image quality.
    Many thanks everyone!

  • Exporting Photos of a specific size from iphoto 08?

    Hi,
    I just upgraded my iPhoto and I'm trying to export some pictures for a website that specifically requires jpegs with a maximum pixel size of 600pix on the longest dimension (it also has a file size limit, but I'm not sure what that is).
    In the old iPhoto I could simply specify this in the "export file" window, but this new iPhoto only seems to allow for "small," "medium" or "large" export. I don't see anything anywhere that lets me decide what size I want my photos exported (I admit that I find it a bit strange that this functionality was removed, and seriously hope that this is not the case). Is there some way that I can do this?
    Alternately, can anyone give me an idea of what file and pixel sizes are associated with these "small, medium and large" options are?
    TIA
    Robin

    Robin:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Easy to do. Just use the File->Export->File Export menu option. While in the File Export pane select JPG as the format so you can set the pixel dimensions you want like this. The photos will be resized and saved to the location of your choice, usually a folder on the desktop works best.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Problem exporting versions in original size

    hi!
    with Aperture 3 when exporting versions in original size, I obtain 400xYYY pixels (images constrained to 400x400) showing impossibility to respect the original size.
    attempting to solve the problem I have exported selecting limited wider sizes (like <4000x4000) to allow the program to keep the higher resolution. It doesn't work because then all images are forced to be exported in 4000x4000.
    anybody has the solution?
    thank you. david

    Welcome to the forum.
    Go to Aperture>Presets>Image Export, select the export preset you are using and make sure that it's on 'original size' and not on 'fit within'.

  • How to maintain pixel size when exporting?

    When exporting an edited image (ex: 20 MB) from Aperture to a desktop folder, I choose file>export>versions>jpeg original.  When I open the exported image in the desktop folder (it opens in preview), the Tools/Inspector window says that the image is now only 2MB.  This has not always happened.  Can someone tell me what I might be doing or not doing that is causing this, or what settings I need to change?
    Thank you.

    golindy,
    JPEG is a lossy format that relies on two ways of reducing the file size. The first is the lossy part that throws away data that is percieved to be unimportant for human vision, the resulting data is then further compressed losslessly using the same type of compression zip uses (this is why zipping a JPEG doesn't lead to further size reduction).
    The more you throw away in the first part, the more likely the image is to suffer from 'compression artefacts'. The number you select on export determines how much data gets thrown away.
    I don't know what '12' officially means for Apple, but from eyeballing files, it seems like it throws away pretty close to zero. So a file output with 12 is top quality.
    Aperture has always worked the same way here, it hasn't changed during any update.
    However, some things that may affect it are:
    1) The effeciciency of the both compression algorithms seems to improve over time.
    So a year ago, a 20 Mega Pixel image might compress down to a 5MB file using a quality setting of 10. Today that very same file may compress down to a 4MB file at quality 10. But it's important to note, the quality of the file will be the same, quality 10. All that has happened is the more efficient algorithm has allowed an extra 1MB of file space saving.
    2) The raw converters periodically get improved with new rendering. One area that has continually improved in Apeture is noise supression and more natural sharpening.
    These impact the first part of the compression process. A noisy image with harsh shapening will compress less than a clean image with more subtle sharpening. So better raw processing can also impact the exported size. Note, this one works in both directions, an improved conversion that resolves more details will output a larger file size, whereas an improved conversion that gives less noise will output a smaller file size.
    So in your case, I think what was happening was you were not losing quality, just gaining file size efficiency, and now you have changed to quality 12, you are exploiting that file space saving by now outputting higher quality files.

    Raws, even if not compressed, Sould be smaller than a 24-bit Tiff, since they have only one bitplane. My T3i shoots 14 bit 18MP raws and has a raw file size of 24.5 MB*. An uncompressed Tiff should have a size of 18 MP x 3 bytes per pixel or 54 MB.
    *There must be some lossless compression going on since 18 MP times 1.75 bytes per pixel is 31.5MB for uncompressed raw.

    This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

    Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
    From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height
