Hi,
You may change the Resolution using the HP Scan application as following:
Click HP Scan at the top and then click Preferences.
Within the launched windows select the required Resolution.
close the Preferences window and perform the scan.

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 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.

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 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 can I increase the screen resolution on my T61; using Windows 7

I just recently purchased a Lenovo T61 from a guy on ebay. I’m trying to figure out how to increase the resolution of the monitor, but can’t seem to figure it out. Here are the technical specs of the machine:
System
Manufaturer: LENOVO
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz
Model: 7658CTO
Installed Memory: 2.00 GB RAM
System type: 64-bit operating system
OS Installed: Windows 7 Professional
Number of processor cores: 2
Storage
Size of hard disk: 160 GB
Media Drive: CD- RW/ DVD MULTI Recorder (Can burn all types of CDs and DVDs)
Graphics
Display adapter type: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
Total available graphics memory: 358 MB
Display adapter driver version: 8.15.10.1867
Primary monitor resolution: 1280x800
DirectX version DirectX 10
Webcam: Integrated Webcam above display
I’m running Windows 7. I don’t think there is an inherent/native resolution higher than 1280x800. Is this right? Can I download a driver to allow me to get to a higher resolution? I’m using 1400x1050 on my older T42; this resolution is very nice. I’d like to see this on my T61. How can I do this?
Thanks!

Hello ryguy7272,
it seems your tft has got a primary monitor resolution: of 1280x800 only.
There´s no way to power that up, except at an external monitor.
Maybe that´s why the machine was a lot cheaper than others.

Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
* Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
* NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

How do i increase the font size on my macbook air

how do i increase the font size on my macbook air

Unfortunately Apple hasn't yet given us a resolution independant OS yet so there are two solutions: 1) poor and 2) sad. You can open System Preferences and select a lower resolution in the Displays tab. The result is a larger font which is slightly fuzzy. Or you can change the default font size or magnification in each program (that allows this). Unfortunately many programs don't allow it.
This problem (and my aging eyes) are why my next Mac notebook will be retina. They scale to other resolutions better than the Air does.

How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?

How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?
We use Windows 7 64bit computers and Dell High Density UltraSharp UP2414Q monitors with a resolution of 3840 x 2160.
Other applications in Adobe CC 2014 work fine with this high resolution (Indesign, Photoshop) but I can't find where to adjust font size in Bridge.
Right now menu items are hardly ledgible.

Same problem. Bridge is unusable with this micro font and no way to change it.
I would call tech support but I don't feel like being on hold for two hours to talk to someone Adobe pays pennies a day in a loud call center who won't be able to help anyway. Fail.

How do I increase the size of the text on the toolbar?

How do I increase the size of the toolbar text, please? For some reason, it's now very tiny, and everything I do only increases the font size of whichever web sites I access (which is not what I'm wanting to accomplish).
Thanks in advance for any help in this. Actually, I'm wondering what I might have done that would make the toolbar so tiny?

Do you mean the menu bar at the very top of your screen?
If so, open System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
Try a different resolution.

Apple Mail (Mavericks), Viewing size of list is too small.how do you increase the size of the email message list. The font is too small, I can hardly read them.

In Apple Mail, using Mavericks, how do you increase the size of the email message list that displays on the left side of the screen?
The font size is so small.
Thanks.

Thank you for responding. After investigating and checking further, it was clear that only one of your suggestions changes the font size of the list of emails, also called the In-box. And that is the display resolution.
However, changing the display resolution affects the dots per inch of everything, everywhere and makes it larger.
Given the high end fee Apple charges for their products, and the generally well developed software they provide, it is hard to imagine they have not corrected this obvious slight of effort on the inbox text. At times Apple's "one-size-fits-all" and "it's our way or no way" mentality astounds me and makes me want to run back to Microsoft.
Evidently this is a well known mistake, which has yet to receive any attention.
Again, thank you for your effort and assistance on my behalf.

How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite?

How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite especially indesign, photoshop, illustrator on a new Apple retina display 2560 x 1140 with out changing/scaleing my screen resolution down?

While some applications let you change the font size of the UI (notably Photoshop in Interface Preferences), others do not yet (like InDesign).
You'll need to make your request using this form for it to be seen by the product manager(s):
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Make a good case because there are hundreds (thousands?) of things people request InDesign to do.

I have an iMac 27 and find the writeing to be small how do i increase the size

how do i increase the letter size on the screen

I have vision issues and changing the desktop resolution on my 27-inch iMac from the default of 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 fixed the problem for me. Everything is still sharp, something that won't happen if you do control + scroll.
