Halftones and resolution settings - why and reasons?

I am taking continuous tone images, color and B&W, converting to greyscale then halftone dots so that the images will print better via desktop laser printer of some dpi value output.
Photoshop applies a Bitmap resolution, then asks for and 'Output' resolution.
The dot style menu then asks for a dot resolution value.
I understand that the smaller dpi produces a more contrasty, newspaper type image.  Conversley, a higher dpi will allow for a better gradation of tonality, but may block up depending on the reproduction method.
Do these two resolution values correlate? 
Are you resampling the Bitmap resolution when you input a different value?
Will a higher Bitmap resolution provide greater tonal range if using a higher dpi?
Since the printer output will define how well a particular dot will be built up during printing, is there a relationship or method for entering dpi values that will provide a good output?
Thanks, Leadmann12

Can't you control DPI and LPI in the printer settings without destroying the image in Photoshop? You are making Photoshop do something it should not need to do.
The difference that you observe in newspaper images relates to lower LPI, not necessarily a change in DPI.

    When you find iCloud in Settings, why isn't music an option?  I have purchased iTunes  Match and more space in iCloud, but when I go to music it says no music found?  Help,

    You enable iTunes Match on your iPad by making sure your are signed into the Apple ID you used to subscribe in iTunes Match in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, then turning iTunes Match and Show All Music to On.
    Also, iTunes Match doesn't use your iCloud storage plan so you don't need to purchase a storage upgrade to use it.

  • Canon pixma pro 9000II printing - color management and resolution settings

    1) is the printer color management automatically turned off when I select the paper in the color management profile drop down? Or do I need to do something else as well?
    2) a little bit of a newbie question, but I'm wondering what resolution to select (for presentation prints) - auto or 300 dpi. And again in the print dialogue box (under "quality and media"), whether to use high or standard. Wondering what to match with what, etc.
    Thanks.

    The answer to the first question appears to be yes. ColorSync is automatically enabled, and Canon Color Matching is automatically disabled.
    Some tips on the second question would still be helpful, however. Again, I'm curious about matching Aperture "print resolution" settings (auto, 300, 72, or custom) to the print dialogue "print quality" settings (high, standard, etc.) under the "quality and media."

  • Re:Status and Reasons

    Hi All,
    Can u pls suggest me how to copy the Activity Parner ,Reason and status from one transaction to other when we are Creating the followup transaction Manually.
    Is it Possible or not ,if possible can u pls provide me the valuable suggestions.
    If we would like copy the status and Reason And Activity Partner when we are Creating the follow transaction Automatically through actions we will implement Badi's but how can i configure the Transactions if i am creating follow up Transaction Manually.
    its very urgent...
    i look forward to your reply.
    Thanks,
    zayd

    hi
    there are two ways u can achiebe this
    as u said using manually to create follow up transaction u need to do the copy control and then u will be able to do the follow up
    else use action to create the follow up transaction using method call and parameters
    but to tell you u can copy every thing but not the reasons
    for copying them u need to implement the bAdi
    CRM_COPY_BADI
    why we use badi when we are doing it manually ,i hope this question of urs is answered
    best regards

  • Halftones and dpi for screen printing

    I am creating a halftone effect on a black and white picture for screen printing, using photoshop.  I know about where to place my LPI, however, Im not sure where I should put my DPI.   If anyone can help with some advice, I would appreciate it.   I was also curious if i should some how put it illustrator, and vectorize it, or just print transparencies straight from photoshop.
    Thanks

    There's no need to go to Illustrator with the photo.  You can print from Photoshop using the 1-bit halftone.  The thing that you have to keep in mind is not so much DPI ( which is an output resolution ), but the actual screen mesh used for the actual screen printing.  You also have to figure "screen angles" into the matrix because the screen angles are affected by not only the grament material, but the screen mesh, too.  So, I would recommend contacting the printer and finding out what screen frequency ( LPi / lines per inch ) will work best on the type of garment you are planning to print-on and ask the printer what mesh they plan to use for your job.  I've seen 35 LPi halftones; I've also seen 65 LPi halftones.  The finer the screen mesh, the higher the LPi.  Tell the printer you have a 2-color job printing halftones and you need to know what LPi and what angles to use for color #1, and color #2.  Then, you can input that information into the separation halftone files in Photoshop.  Remember to discuss the garment type ( thread count ) and the mesh of the screen.  If the printer is good and knows what they are doing, they will give you everything you need to know.  If they do not, they'll refuse the job.

  • Would it be possible/reasonable to run Guitar Rig and Reason simultaneously on a MacBook Air?

    Would it be possible/reasonable to run Guitar Rig and Reason simultaneously on a MacBook Air?

    Hi there, Klaus1, BDAqua and a brody,
    Thank you ever so much for your kind replies! (I tried giving you the 10 pts. of 'Correct Answers' to each of you, but unfortunately it was only possible for Klaus1, so the points were distributed between him and BDAqua even though you were all helpful!)
    My next question will naturally be: Is SheepShaver legal? My Google search didn't yield any conslusive proof that it was, nor any that it wasn't, but as the E-Maculation web page seemed quite official and above board I would assume that it is.
    The next logical step would be to ask whether it's safe for both HW and SW to run SheepShaver. HW, it appears, is very rarely, if ever, affected by SW settings, so I would assume that hardwarewise, I'm good to go. Could it ruin the kernel of Mac OS X's Unix-based operating system?
    Kind Regards,

  • What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

    What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

    A lot of people have a Mac where the superdrive has been taken out to be replaced with a harddisk. Try to find a friend who has done that, give him a beer and take the superdrive, then buy a superdrive container from OWC or another for  afew dollars and put it in there. This slimdrive container has a USB connector. There you go.

    Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
    Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
    I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
    I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
    Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
    And driver? OS X driver?

  • Tables for Opportunity "Status" and "Reason"

    Hi Sandeep,
    Status-  code in field stat of CRM_JEST table

  • Extending resource status and reason code category

    Hi Experts,
    I have a couple of questions regarding the extensibility of status and reason codes in ME15.0 in the context of machine integration:
    1. Is it save to add new status fields (records) in WIP.STATUS for STATUS_GROUP="RESOURCE"? Is there any impact, if a resource doesn't match one of the predefined status values?
    2. The "logResourceStatusChanged" service creates entries in WIP.RESOURCE_TIME_LOG but not in WIP.RESRCE. That way, it is possible to get different status values in both tables at a given time. Do you see any negative impact resulting from this data inconsistency?
    The service "ChangeResourceStatusRequest" is not suitable in our case, since it doesn't provide a timestamp as input parameter for the status change. And even if it would, the prevention of a "sfc complete" when the status is "unscheduled down" is inconvenient for our customer. The scenario is, that the customer wants to complete the quantity produced until the machine broke down (assume lot production).
    3. Is it possible to add new "categories" in addition to the predefined values in WIP.REASON _CODE? What is the impact?
    regards,
    Georg

    Hi Georg,
    I cannot give you a precise yes/no answer - so this is just to share some info.
    - I've heard about some customer who implemented custom statuses. When a new status simply was added in the database, it did not affect a core functionality. But I do not know what happens if this status is assigned to a resource and then a core fucntionality is triggered. There might be some validation which could fail. But it is easier to test specific cases as how you are going to use SAP ME, and I doubt any developer will be happy to run a full analysis of code to answer your question.
    - The new statuses need to be considered for loading via IDAT and adding into LocaleSpecificText properties file.
    - As to custom categories of reason codes, I guess there are only few places where system behavior is tightly connected to specific predefined reason codes. So, I'm inclined to believe that adding reason codes and categories will not harm.
    Regards,
    Sergiy

  • On Time Delivey and reason coding for late

    Were on ECC 5.0 and looking at trying to link "reasons" for late delivery to the SAP shipment.  Has anyone done this or have any suggestions on ways to configure list of "reasons" and how to link them to the shipment number?   In 3.1i we had a way to do this with deadline funcitons and reason codes but it seems to have disappeared in 5.0.
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    i think you could try "Additional Data" tab at the shipment header level. There are 4 reserve fields (VTTK-ADD01 to 04) along with the text fields you may use.
    Possible field entries can be maintained in spro>LE>transportation>shipments>maintain additional data.
    Pls post update then
    Thanks and regards,

  • Several processes in SM50 show status as stopped and reason SLEEP

    I have several batch jobs that are running and then sometime it shows up status "stopped" and Reason "SlEEP". There have been some slow DB writes but not sure what I can do about this.
    Should I let them go and let them resolve themselves. Sometimes these jobs will cause performance issues.
    Or do I delete cancel them to restart in the low usage periods.

    Hi..
    Not sure about your KERNEL PATCH LEVEL.
    Check this note..
    Note 1357780 - Long "stop" status for batch proc.; reason for wait "sleep"
    Secondly as Dibya said...
    Look a closer look at work proces trace file,
    if you do not see any info desired....
    increase the "TRACE LEVEL" of work process and chase for reason log in tracef file.
    WORKPROCESS Trace info should give some clue / info to do a deep dive analyiss of your issue.
    If you avail SAP Verion/ Kernel Version/ DB Version / OS Version ...
    give more light to the signing in users to put their comments close to your issue.
    We are sure, With Dibya reply itself, you would have got the reasons for the issue.
    Finally,
    What is your system utlization during peakload to rate low usage periods.

  • When you open multiple documents, what's the rhyme and reason for the order the tabs are arranged?

    Hi, a student had a question and I honestly never thought about this: when you open multiple documents in Photoshop CS4, what's the rhyme and reason behind the order they're arranged in (left to right?). Sometimes they're in one order and sometimes they're in another, and it doesn't always correspond with the filenames or the order in which they were selected.
    Thanks, hope someone can enlighten us. It's probably really obvious, but... !

    My student says that's not exactly what she was asking. What she meant was, is the arrangement of multiple tabbed documents open within Photoshop (which one is furthest left, which one comes next to it, which one is furthest right etc) dependent on something? In what order they were opened, alphabetical, date created or what?

  • Logic Pro X and Reason 7 Rewire Sync Issues

    Hello,
    I'm running logic pro X (V10.07) and Reason V7.01 (in rewire slave mode).
    My drum tracks come from reason, and I've recorded bass and guitar in logic.
    My issue: When I play back the track FROM LOGIC, the drums are out of sync with the music. It's in the milliseconds but definitely noticeable and makes everythign sound...off.
    Oddly, when I play back the track from Reason (I start it using the Reason transport, rather than Logic Pro X), the track sounds fine.
    I've attached a screenshot of my Logic Pro X preferences. Not sure what to do here -- when I bounce the track down, it's the same as if I start it from the logic transport (i.e. the music and beats are out of sync).

    Resolved. Turns out my version of Reason needed an update.
