How do I change picture resolution from screen capture?

If I want to take the image on the screen in Encore CS5 and save it as a photoshop picture the resolution is 70 DPI. Is there any way to change this resolution? I would like sharper pictures if possible, 100 DPI to 200 DPI if this can be done.
Encore CS5
Core 4 2.4 ghz processor
6 GB Ram
700 GB free on hard drive
Windows 7 64 bit

I completely agree with your goal - getting as a good a resolution print as possible. But your focus on dpi for the capture of a frame will not help you.
Kind of like scanning an image. If you are going to blow it up later you want to scan at higher resolutions than if you don't. There is of course image quality versus file size issues, etc. etc. but at least I would have the option to change resolutions on capture.
Scanning at a higher resolution adds more pixels. So, for example, scanning a finely detailed 7.2 x 4.8 inch image at 300 dpi produces 2160 x 1440 pixels. Scan a grainy photograph similarly, and it will be 2160 x 1440 and look lousy. Use a 5 megapixel camera to shoot the original scene, you've got more pixels. If you have only the SD video image, all you have is the 720 x 480 pixel image. It doesn't matter how you set the dpi on capture, just that you capture all 720 x 480 pixels.
In Premier Pro CS5 and Encore CS5 the image size is 10 inches by 6.667 inches and the resolution is 72 pixels/inch.
Pulling from womble the image size is 7.2 inches by 4.8 inches and the resolution is 100 pixels/inch.
The part you are not listing is the fact that for each of those the pixel size is 720x480. As long as you capture the 720 x 480, the resolution of the image is not improved by flagging it as 72 dpi or 100 dpi. You can change that in photoshop for either of those captures, and you get a different print size, but no more or less pixels.
In either case, re-sizing the image in photoshop doesn't change the pixels/inch resolution. I want to capture the original image in as good resolution as possible rather than having to correct it after capture.
"As good resolution as possible" is 720 x 480.

How do I change the default iPhone screen capture format to .jpg?
I have an iPhone 5 (but I'm sure users with other models would like to do this as well).
My online searches have not found an answer -- I did find a discussion thread that was essentially, "Why would you want to do that?" Those posts are not welcome! Not looking for a work-around, an intermediate step, or the need to change the file format on a computer, etc. Just want to hit the two buttons and have the resulting capture be a JPEG file.
Not interested in jailbreaking or using apps that require jailbreak -- Want to do this with a new phone.
Thank you in advance for any help!!

You can't.

Do you mean you want it saved with the resolution set to something other than 72 dpi when the capture is made, or do you mean you want your capture saved at a higher resolution than the captured area?
1) If the first, there are ways to change the default capture format .png to something else, such as .jpg, .tif and a few others, but as far as I know, the resolution will always be 72 dpi. You can use Preview to change the resolution of the captured image under Tools > Adjust Size. You will get this:
If your intention is to set the resolution for professional printing defaults, then change the resolution to 300. Turn off Resample image to prevent the image from actually having more pixels added. The resolution will simply be reset from 72 to 300 dpi without changing the actual number of pixels in the image. It will also print a lot smaller since the output device will now use 300 pixels per linear inch instead of 72.
Leave Resample image on if you need to maintain the dimensions. Be aware however that scaling the image (resampling) will add a lot more pixels to the image than are there to maintain size. Expect the image to get very soft and pixelated looking when adding 417% more data to the image than it currently has.
2) If you mean you want the OS to actually save the captured area as a high resolution image at size, that can't happen. A capture is a 1:1 grab of the display buffer. It can only capture what's there. So if you capture a 700 pixel x 500 pixel area, that's all the bigger it can be without scaling it afterwards.

I don't believe changing resolution will help. Try turning on the overscan correction.

How can I retrieve pictures, lost from my iphone during a backup?

How can I retrieve pictures, lost from my iphone during a backup?

The photos could have gone a couple of different places ...but it is unlikely that they are lost forever. It kind of depends how your Backup was done. With many Computer-based iTunes connections, your Computer Photo App will actually open first when you connect your iPhone and the photo transfer will happen between the iPhone and the App. Assuming that isn't what happened in your case, but you did Backup on iTunes, you could reconnect to iTunes and then click on your iPhone button on the Computer screen ...typically the iTunes Summary screen will show up ...but you can tab-through the various iTunes Screens and find the Photo page. You could check your options and see if you have a Manual Sync setting regarding iTunes to iPhoone ...this would mean you have to select the Photos you want to download to the iPhone during the Sync.

How do I change a URL from a tab?

I'll tell you my situation.
I have a page, with 4 tabs. At the beggining the page didn't have tabs and it had content like pictures and ome text. When I added a tabs, that same content is displayed in each one. So, if I erase the image of tab 'C', for example, that image erases for all the tabs too.... If I add content to tab 'C', another example, and I only wanted to displayed that info on that tab, it's displayed in all the tabs too... What's wrong?

Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

How do I change the default from CS6 to Photoshop CC when I open a photo from Bridge CC?

Thank you. That works when I double click a RAW image, (opens in ACR then when I open from there it goes to CC) but when I double click a jpg it goes straight to CS6. I'm hoping there is a way to change the default, but haven't found yet. I don't want to remove CS6.

Do you still have your Aperture Slideshow project? Then open the slideshow and select the one of the green audio file clips in the film strip that you want to replace. Press the "delete" key and drag another audio file from the Media Browser directly onto the slide, where the sound should start.

Would like it to match our desktop.
At present, lock-screen appears to be a blurred version of one of the standard Yosemite desktops.

It typically uses your Screen Saver definition in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver tab.
Or I'm misunderstanding the question...
