How do I increase photo resolution?

Hi there, I have iphoto 6 and have imported all of my digital photos onto this. I like to use websites like photobox for printing photos but whenever I try to do this it says that the resolution of the photos imported from iphoto is too small.
Please can someone let me know how to increase the resolution? I am incredibly untechnical and just want to be able to print off photos that are of a decent quality!
Thanks in advance
Lulu

The information box says 2304 x 3072
THose are nice 7 meg photos so unless you are accessing the incorrectly or trying to print very large photos you are fine
To upload the photos you should select the photos you want in iPhoto, export them to a desktop folder as actual size JPEGs, upload them and then delete the folder from your desktop - If you are pulling them directly from your iPhoto library you are in danger of corrupting your library and you can easily get the wrong size photo

    This is really a big Never No Mind. Your photos are still the same quality but your computer cannot display at more than 72 dpi. Have a read of this:

  • How do I increase image resolution?

    Not sure what the reason is but when I add photos to a group chat they're the size of the average stamp making the subject of the photo completely unreadable. Is there any way to increase this?
    Bandwidth is definitely not an issue for me or anyone involved in the group chat.

  • How do I increase the resolution of the texturization preview window?

    Hello, Illustrator noob here with a question regarding the texturization window. For some reason, every texture included (as well as one that I made in Photoshop), shows up in the Texturization window with a resolution of  about 20 x 20 pixels. Even the simple sandy texture I made with Photoshop is displayed with poor resolution. I have done some digging into the issue and cannot find an answer so I decided to post my question onto here.
    Oh, and when I try File >> Place >> sand_texture.psd  and drag it into the Swatches window, the texture isnt added no matter what I try.
    Thanks for reading, I have included an image of what I see when opening the Texturization window.
    Oh: Windows  7 64 Bit, Illustrator CC

    In reply to your second question, you cannot create Illustrator vector textures with any bitmapped images in them. 
    In general try to stay away from using any of the Photoshop Effects in Illustrator. They make your work look amateurish, and like it came out of the presets of a graphics program, rather than a commissioned design studio.
    Popular effects such as gaussian blur do not scale in Illustrator Using gaussian blur  to create a glow or drop shadow for a logo is a bad choice.
    We occasionally inherit brands started by another company that we have to rebuild their logo with objects that do scale. We cannot remove items off shelf that have been printed, but atleast the brand looks correct going forward. So keep in mind that though Adobe has pull down menus that say they do things, you need to keep an open mind and continually learn how to do things better and what to avoid doing.

  • How to maintain good photo resolution when editing

    when editing with photographs does anyone a trick on how to keep it at it's highest resolution for output to HiDef DVD

    Start with a High Definition codec such as DVCProHD and keep it there from output to encoding.
    BTW, what HD player are you going to play it on?

  • How can I increase the resolution of a picture used in the burned DVD?

    My version is Elements 10 and I have always had a problem when making the main menu that included a picture.  Even if the picture is 12 MPixels it appears as if is less then 1 MPixels.

    From what you wrote, you are not targeting the resolution of the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc that you are producing in Premiere Elements. Rather you are targeting the disc menus that are applied to a given project destined for DVD-VIDEO on DVD . Difference.
    What you get in the disc menus (main and scene) traces back to the creation of .psd files in Premiere Elements folders on the computer hard drive hard drive. There 3 different .psd sets for each theme. One "s" for standard, "w" for widescreen, and "hd" for high definition. Whether you are in NTSC or PAL, "s" and "w" have a frame size of 720 x 576, and "hd" 1440 x 1080.
    The choices (what you see) for "hd" and non "hd" menus in the disc menus section of the program is determined by the project preset. If you have a "hd" project, you will get some "hd" choices mixed with non hd choices. When you pick one of the non hd choices, believe it or not, the program may give you the "s" 4:3 version of the .psd and not the "w" version. The details can be overwhelming.
    Bottom line:
    You can set the resolution of your main menu inserts as high as you want, however you may crash the feature and or program and still not achieve better clarify/sharpness for the image in Disc Menu Preview or in playback of the final product. For the inserts, you can scale them to fit the insert space if black borders. Some buttons can be scaled to a larger size, of course within the limits of the total space provided and only if you do not create overlapping of the buttons.
    Please review and if you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thanks.

  • Increasing image resolution in iphoto

    How do I increase the resolution of my images in iphoto? I want them to be at 300 dpi instead of 72 dpi. I shoot in jpeg. I don't have a "tools" icon at the top of my screen.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. 300 dpi only comes into play when you want to print the photo. What are the pixel dimensions of your image? Divide them by 300 and you'll get the print size you can achieve at 300 dpi. iPhoto just reports the display resolution which is 72 ppi, pixels per inch.
    If you print the same picture at 8 x 10 and 3x5 you'll get two widely different resolutions.
    You can find out more about that in The Myth of DPI.

  • Photo resolution on iweb

    Does anyone know how to improve the photo resolution on iweb? Can i upload pics from iphoto to iweb with original file size?

    Does anyone know how to improve the photo resolution
    on iweb? Can i upload pics from iphoto to iweb with
    original file size?
    Yes, you can. Not sure why you would want to do this. Web images tend to have to balance image quality with download speed. But sure, you can have your original photo used in iWeb. Just drag it from iPhoto directly into iWeb. Then open up the Inspector and click on the Rulers tab. The click "Use original size". That will be your original photo.
    If you make any other changes to your photo like shrinking it down to a little square or rotating it or putting a frame around it, then iWeb will convert your photo to a PNG file and subsequently recompress the image for the PNG file. That will again lower your resolution.

  • How to increase photo booth resolution?

    photo booth is taking pics at 640x480 only. i think the macbook isight is 2 MP. that means the resolution should be more. any help?

    Hello Ace
    You can do it using iMovie as an intermediary. See the following link to bring the PhotoBooth into iMovie. I would add when selecting the resolution you would choose the higher 1024 x 768 resolution as you desire.

  • How do I tell the resolution of a photo in a PDF?

    Newbie question: when I'm viewing a PDF, how do I tell the resolution of a photo? My current strategy is to open the PDF in PhotoShop, crop out the photo, and view the resolution. How do you do this in Acrobat? Thanks.

    You can use Acrobat Pro's Preflight tool to give you that information. It's under the Advanced menu, it can also be found on the Prepress toolbar.
    In the Preflight dialog there are several built-in profiles including one called "List all images" (expand the category called PDF Analysis). Double click that profile or select it from the list and click the execute button. In the results window, you can expand the item that says "Resolution of color and gray scale images is higher than 0". A list of all the color and grayscale images will be displayed as well as information about it. This includes the page it is on, dimensions, resolution, and colorspace. The profile name "List all bitmaps" will give you that info for bitmaps. There are several other profiles that will list images below a certain resolution, you can create your own profiles to customize it further.
    Please note: depending on your document, you may need to increase the number of results so that all images will be listed. To do this, click on options in the Preflight dialog and select Preflight Preferences.

    On 11in Macbook Air (10.10), how do I increase resolution of built-in display to 2560 by 1600 pixels?
    It can be accomplished when an external display is connected, so I expect it can be done without an external display.

    You're getting full native resolution 1366 x 768 on your internal display, nothing more.

  • How do I increase the font size in my email and maintain resolution.

    Hi folks. Mr Newbie is seeking some help, I hope it is relatively straight forward, thanks
    How do I increase the font size in my standard email and document views without losing resolution.  Right now my font size in email, headers and text is less than that on my iPhone, it rather defeats the point of having a 27" screen if most of it is blank and I have to sit with my nose to the screen to read email.  Thanks for your help, once you have stopped laughing.  C

    Two things you can do to easily aid with readability in Mail are as follows:
    1) Increase the size of folders in the sidebar:
    a) select "system preferences" from the Apple menu
    b) select "general settings"
    c) select small, medium or large under "sidebar icon size"
    2) Increase the text in the main body of the email (both sent and received):
    a) select "preferences" from the Mail menu
    b) select "fonts and colors"
    c) adjust font size for "message list font" and "message font".  I have noticed this works properly while in classic mode, but in regular mode the message list font doesn't appear to change size.
    Select classic mode by accessing Mail preferences and selecting the "viewing" tab.
    Another shortcut is to right click on the toolbar, then select "customize toolbar", and then drag the "smaller / bigger" buttons onto the toolbar.  Now you can decrease and increase font size as desired on the fly.

  • How do you change the resolution of a Photo?

    In iPhoto, how to you reduce the resolution of a photo in order to reduce the file size? This makes it easier to email because of the smaller file size?

    Let's say I have a photo with a resolution of of 3264 x 2448 pixels.
    Tat's not a measurement of resolution, that's the dimensions (length x breadth) of the photo, expressed in pixels.
    Resolution is a vague term most used to describe the density of pixels - i.e the pixels per inch.
    1) I want to edit it and reduce the resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels.
    No, you want to reduce the dimensions of the image to 1024 x 768
    2) Do this within iPhoto without using the export feature thereby keeping the edited photo in iPhoto?
    You can't. It can only be done on export. Why? When you edit a photo iPhoto preserves the original and makes a copy of the file containing the edit. As most people reduce the dimensions, file size or resolution for a specific purpose (to upload it for instance), it's thought best to export it, upload it nd then trash it.
    Of course, you can simply import the export back in, if you have a burning need of it in iPhoto.
