Higher resolution iPad screenshots?

I am working on a book about iPads and need to have screenshots of the iPad screen (apps etc) which are 300 DPI for printed book... is there anyway to do this?
I am SO hopeful someone has a solution for me! I am stuck with deadlines passing...
Thanks in advance.

The resolution will be whatever the iPad is creating, so a Retina iPad will have 4 times the number of pixels as a non-retina iPad.
You can probably find the correct spec for each model on Apple.com, a quick search found this…
http://www.theipadguide.com/faq/what-resolution-ipad-retina-display
It suggests a Retina iPad is 264 pixels per inch, at 2048 x 1536, or 3.1 megapixels.
A non-retina iPad is 1024 x 768, I think the iPad Mini is another set of resolutions too.
Take your screenshots with a Retina iPad & it should be fine, upscale the images if you really want 300dpi. You will probably need to convert to CMYK if this is a print book so add both tasks as an action in Photoshop or whatever image editor you are using. Then you should be able to apply that as a batch to take out the mind numbing process of manually doing each one.
Automator may also do a 'batch upscale', but tools like Photoshop support extra plugins that can provide better upscaling like…

If you use Perfect Resize 8 it may be OK to upscale even non-retina screenshots.
Jay-Ray, screenshots via Reflector on a Mac look worse than ones taken on the device, are you sure about the quality that Airplay streams? Perhaps it is my non-retina LCD causing it.

  • How do I put high resolution pictures on my new iPad?

    So I picked up a new iPad and I love it but when I try to put high resolution photos (2048x2048) for the wallpaper on it it resizes them to 1024 for example... This happens via email and when I download them from a website.
    HOw do I get high resolution photos on my iPad to take advantage of the awesome screen?

    Sync photos from your computer. If the new iPad is like the iPad 2 the photos will be sized to display at the screens resolution. Thus they should look stunning on your new iPad.

  • FaceTime freezes when same room has no problems. The picture is high resolution. There are no freezes when calling my daughter's iPad but the picture is lower resolution. Can I troubleshoot this?

    FaceTime freezes when I call my son's iPad. Calling his iPhone in the same room has no problems. The picture is high resolution. There are no freezes when calling my daughter's iPad but the picture is lower resolution. Can I troubleshoot this?

    Thanks Mario, but I tried everything there before posting my question. I may not have been clear in my question since I accidently recorded the whole question as the title and tried to edit. In brief: I have no trouble connecting with my daughter's iPad or my son's iPhone. However, his iPad is sending much higher resolution pictures and we disconnect after about a minute.  Oddly, he can hear and see me while my screen first freezes, then goes black and gives me a message of "reconnecting" until it quits trying and shows the buttons to end or redial. The picture quality difference is what is leading me to believe it is bandwidth related. However, I get anywhere from 5 to 10 MB download speeds; usually closer to 10. Last summer, I had 4 granddaughters on their iPads, a grandson on his gaming device and me on cell phone or pc, all using the bandwidth at once with no complaints. If there is a way to lower his outgoing resolution, I think that would help.

  • Very High Resolution PDFs for iPad

    Hello,
    A friend gave me a few PDF files created from very high resolution pictures to view on my iPad.
    I loaded the PDF files on iBooks and so far so good. The problem is that when I swipe from a PDF page to another the image doesnt appear immidietly. It takes some time and the image is blur before it appears... After is fine but I want to remove this delay.
    Does anyone knows any proper method to view high resolution PDF on iPad without delay when changing pages ? Or how what method or format to follow so to make them proper ?
    Thanks in Advance.

    What PDF reader are you using? Perhaps there is one out there that renders files better.
    However, if the images are large then there is only so much that can be done. That delay is caused by the device processing the image. If you find a more efficient reader that may help. But you may also want to consider tweaking with those images, knocking them down just a bit and find that sweet spot where they're still of a good quality but not so large that they push the boundaries of what the device can handle.

  • Support for higher resolution on iPad?

    I realise the latest 1.2 release increased the maximum resolution supported to 2048x2048 at the expense of the number of layers supported.
    Are there any plans to extend this further, even if it only means supported say 4 layers? Most of my image editing apps (iPhoto, FilterStorm, Photogene etc.) can support my Nikon 12.2MP images without reduction and output at the full size so it seems this is still a limitation with Photoshop Touch which can only support a 3rd of this resolution.

    AndyWhiteford wrote:
    I'm fine with how Adobe hace approached this. My point is I have managed to edit full 12MP images on the iPad in these other apps and output at full size without any issues at all. I appreciate the image size will have a direct impact on the layers supported due to the limitations of available RAM but even if they limited it to 2 layers, you would at least have the choice of being able to edit these images in Photoshop Touch. Even if they disabled layers entirely for large images, it would still be a benefit being able to use this application to edit images as opposed to switching to different apps depending on the task at hand.
    The point I'm trying to hammer home to anyone reading this is to realize the limitations tablets currently have. Sure, you might be OK with being only to edit a few layers when using a higher resolution but are others? Do they even know their tablets' specs? (I bet most don't even know the memory capacity their tablets have.)

  • Is it possible to add high resolution photos to an ipad2 without synchronising it?

    Hi,
    I'm looking in to offering potential clients an ipad with all their wedding photos pre loaded, but is it possible to add photos without synchronising each ipad to my mac? When I first got my ipad2, I couldn't use it for anything until I had connnected and registered it with Apple........I have got the camera connection kit, but haven't found a workaround for adding photos without synchronising yet?
    I haven't been able to find much info on the subject so far? There must be a workaround?
    Cheers,
    MacSlates

    The first thing that currently needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes - it can't currently be used 'properly' until after that is done. After iOS 5 is released and is pre-installed on iPads then I think that should change and you will no longer need to first connect to a computer.
    The camera connection kit can be used to add high-resolution photos to the iPad, unlike syncing via iTunes where the photos get 'optimised' by the transfer process. If adding the photos to the SD card yourself then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
    Otherwise there are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos to/from the iPad from your computer via your wifi network. But photos transferred this way will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album in the Photos app, not into a 'proper' album - and until iOS 5 is released and installed you won't be able to move the photos between albums on the iPad : from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums - right on your device
    Also a problem with syncing photos to the iPad via iTunes is that they then need to be on the other person's computer when they then connect to it - otherwise the photos are likely to be removed from the device. Photos copied via the connection kit or copied via third-party apps shouldn't have that problem.

  • Internet Security UI scaling on Windows 8.1 and high resolution displays

    Please make the Internet Security UI scale properly on Windows 8 and high resolution screens. I have a 13" laptop with 3200x1800px screen resolution and Internet Security UI is pretty much unusable without a magnifying glass. Here's a screenshot (scaled down to 1920p). The text is physically about 1.7mm high...

  • How can you make a pixlated image a higher resolution in Photoshop CC? i have tryed image size but it doesnt seem to work someone please help

    As you can see in the screenshot here ----> Gyazo - b048a0770df6264af1ff398951acd4f9.png I have typed a higher resolution but when I try the pixles never seen to ever go away and it increases the file size every time, is there an easier way? PS: if another adobe cc software is needed to complete this task I have every one so it doesn't have to only be in Photoshop.

    The image has been reduced in size and over sharpened to the point that jaggies artifacts abound.  You will not be happy with the result of interpolate the images up in size increase the number of pixels..   You need to find the original image file from the camera.

  • High resolution photos. How to?

    I need to e-mail high resolution photos. What is the best way to do this from an iMac, iPad, iPhone?
    thanks!

    If for business, uploading to an FTP site rather than e-mailing is the most efficient if teh recipient has one. My editor's email limits him to a small total size fo attachments that is almost always less than my copy and images, but the magazine has an ftp (file transfer protocol) site that is not picky about file size.
    You normally use a separate ftp client program on your computer. I use CyberDuck because the publisher recommended it, but I don't think current versions will run on the pre-2006 iMac this forum covers.
    If you MUST e-mail, you have to find out ahead of time whether your ISP or the recipient's have limits on file size.
    If you elaborate on which iMac variant you have and what Mac OS version you run, we may come up with more targeted recommendation. Right now we're all guessing.

  • Macbook Pro 15" High-Resolution Display

    Hi
    I'm a little confused with the option of having high-res on the 15" model. Is the resolution dictated by hardware or software?
    If it's hardware, do they have a different display panel on high-res models? (since the GPU remains the same)
    If it's software, then, is it a driver issue or system code that "unlocks" the choice of resolutions? (remember under both configurations, the GPU is the same)
    Thanks
    gtds

    Gregory: You can see exactly what the difference in menu fonts' (and other GUI elements') size will be using your present machine by doing the following:
    1. Display a typical/representative set of windows and stuff, including the smallest fonts you normally read, on your present 1440 x 900 MBP display.
    2. Take a screenshot of it by pressing CommandShift3.
    2. Open the screenshot in Preview by double-clicking it.
    3. Print the screenshot, using the following settings in the Print dialog box:
    Paper size: whatever your printer can handle
    Orientation: horizontal
    Center image: not checked
    Scale: 100% (do not check Scale to Fit).
    If your printer offers a choices of resolutions or qualities, choose the highest.
    This should result in a printout in which the fonts and graphic elements are the same size as those displayed on your screen. Verify this.
    4. Change the scale to 85.7% and print again, leaving the other settings the same.
    This will produce a printout that, if your first one matched what's displayed on your screen, will match what you'd see on the higher-resolution 1680 x 1050 display.
    Compare the two printouts.

  • How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

    How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

  • What is the best way to save and copy high resolution slide show?

    Creating and saving/burning slide shows in iMovie or iDVD does not appear to give the same high resolution as playing slide shows directly from iPhoto.  Resolution is also lost when exporting the slide show to iTunes.  Is there a recommended technique to preserve resolution when saving a slide show?

    Click the "Export" icon on the bottom of the application window.
    Click the "Custom Export..." button on the bottom left hand side of the new menu that appears at the top of the application window.
    At the bottom of the next window click the "Options..." button.
    Under the "Video" setting, click the "Size..." button.
    Next to "Dimensions:" click the "Compressor native" drop down menu.
    In there you have "1920 x 1080 HD".
    There are a bunch of other options, so explore and find what works best for you.

  • High ram usage when loading high resolution images

    Hello,
    I'm wondering why Firefox almost hangs my system while opening high-resolution images like this one (save your data, you have been warned):

    While opening, it involves X process to use CPU and a lot of memory (it's freed shortly after loading the image). Other browsers don't do that. Moreover, other browsers don't do any problems with such images, they load it fast and efortless. I Have 2GB of RAM.
