How to both resize AND export to PNG at specific resolution?

I am trying to export a PAIR of vector files as PNG-24's, one at 72 ppi and the second at 150 ppi, Illustrator CC.
I also want both exported files to have a different SIZE that their existing (and of course, completely arbitrary) vector dimensions.
If I use Save for Web in Illustrator CC, I can indeed change the size, BUT I can't specify a resolution!
On the other hand if I try to do a File > Export, I can easily specify the resolution as 150 ppi, BUT I can't change the size!
If I go 'way back to my Illustrator CS4 version, there was a toolbar display of the selected object's (or group's) physical dimensions - see the attached image - but I can't seem to find it in the CC version of Illustrator.
As Retina resolution images have been around for several years, it would be helpful to be able to have complete control over how vector images created in Illustrator could be output at 150 ppi AND with the ability to specify the physical size. And, being able to write an action to export the pair of different resolution images would be even better.
Am I missing the obvious here? For the time being, I am back to my old machine with Illustrator CS4 just to export Retina-friendly images...

This is not the issue - pixels are pixels, you're right. It is a question, rather, of how awkward it is to export the different sized files from Illustrator.
Here's the problem. Supposed I have a vector file that has nominal dimensions of 385px x 91px on the artboard - can't even SEE that info anymore, as I noted. (I'm sure there's a toggle somewhere for that, but I can't seem to find it...)
I want to export this as a PNG at a smaller size, say at 62% = 239px × 57px. OK, just click and it's done, Save for Web, 62%.
Now, I need to export it at twice that physical size for the Retina version. If I didn't write down my first PNG's EXPORTED dimensions, (and I work on a LOT of these files...), when I go back to Save for Web, I have to manually remember to double the first file's EXPORTED dimensions, i.e., 239px × 57px = 124% to get my larger file of 478px × 114px.
On the other hand, if I go to File > Export, Illustrator lets me create larger files, but won't let me change the dimensions of the original file to begin with. It just makes no sense to me. If I could reset the vector's nominal size FIRST, it would be much simpler. One Save for Web, then one Export at Medium Res.

How do I resize and export photos in Aperture without them becoming pixelateded

I'm having trouble resizing my photos and exporting them without the end result being an overly pixelated photo. This happens when I am resizing my photos to a 5 by 7 size.

Amanda,
Welcome to the user-supported Aperture discussion group.
In Aperture, you don't resize to a "print" size. You export to a specific pixel size.
So, what size are you actually exporting it as?
I believe both Terence and I suspect that you have a very low-res picture and you are telling Aperture to make it have more pixels. If you are intending to print the photos, there is really no difference in sending the original, low-res version to the printer versus having Aperture add pixels to your photo. Something, somewhere, will have to add pixels.

How can I resize and reposition the Date Created window for All windows?

When setting view options for a finder window set to list view, I cannot get column resizing or positioning to hold. When making those changes, the option for "All Windows" automatically shifts to "This window only" and it then does not hold.

How do I import and export PDF's from Ibooks

How do I import and export PDF files from Ibooks on the IMAC running Mavericks?
How do I sync my PDF files in IBooks to the IPAD when they were not purchased from the bookstore?
I noticed that I could email the PDF and then add it to IBOOKS on the IPAD.
Is there a 3rd party IBOOK type reader that will address this issue?
When I upgraded Mavericks it moved all of my PDF files in ITUNES application to IBOOKS and removed all reference to those
books in ITUNES. When I purchase a book from IBOOKS store on the IMAC, the books shows up in IBOOKS on the IPAD.
All of my PDF files will not sync up with the IPAD.
I do hope this is a problem that Apple will address and would like to know when the fix will be available.

Hello,
Thank you. I found that option you pointed out. I can now change it from 1080i to 1080p and I can chance the resolution. However I still can't change the frame rate. It still stays at 29.97.
Could this be due to the camera? I am using a Canon VIXIA HF S100 with 30p and 24p frame rate options. I suspect that it does not really shoot at true 24p and only does 24p within 60i.
Frankly, I don't really care about getting 24p support too much but it would be very nice to have the option.
I'll keep toying with the program. Still, anymore ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Wild Giles.

How do I resize and position a logo to an object in Photoshop using Warp & Vanishing Point?

How do I resize, rotate and reposition a logo within a Photoshop object using Warp and/or Vanishing Point? This may be a Photoshop question.

You will have to explain better and usee the right terminology. What does "Photoshop object" mean? A placed graphic? Some copy&pasted path work? and there is no Vanishing Point in Illustrator to begin with, so it's even less clear what exactly you are trying to achieve.

How to enable Validate and Export in FDM task

Hi everyone
I am working with setting up an FDM Task to Import, Validate and Export data to HFM.
The Task is able to import data to FDM, but I cannot make the process start the Validate and Export functions. If I do the process manually, then data is imported to HFM succesfully.
Am I missing something in the scripts or do I need to enable some feature in FDM?

Found the solution.
The variable lngProcessLevel should be set to "12" to execute the full Import, Validate and Export.

How to convert music and export to droid phone?

I have a droid phone replacement until my iphone is repaired and i want to convert my music too the droid. My carrier said to go on the computer and do this but so far unsuccessful. Any help available?

Android phones can play both MP3 and AAC format, which is exactly what most people have in their iTunes libraries. I doubt that you will need to convert anything.
However, unlike an iPhone, you cannot use iTunes to directly sync an Andriod device. See this article.

How to automatically open and close an application at specific times?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to open and close an application at specific times.
I have set iCal up to open it no problem...however, the application needs you to click yes before entering into it upon boot.
How do I do this and close the app. I tried creating a workflow in automator, but iCal simply opens the workflow and does not play it. This also does not solve the issue of needing the 'yes' button to be clicked.
Kind regards,

Resize and crop images to a specific width and height

I want to convert images to thumbnails with a 'standard' format - I need all images to have the same width and height.
So I need to resize and then crop the images. Is this possibe with JAI? Are there other libraries which can do this better?

IPhoto questions - resizing and exporting

Hi there - I have a couple of questions surrounding iPhoto and resizing images.
1) I want to use my original file - as I first imported it. Most of my images when imported were 2-3MB files. When I export them out of iPhoto, I have a number of options in regards to quality and size. When I exported best quality and maximum size, the file became twice the size of the original (around 5MB). How do I just use the original as it was imported?
2) When I right click on an image saved onto my desktop and look at 'get info' it tells me what I believe is the actual size of my image - usually around 2.4MB. However, when I open it in Preview and go to tools/adjust size it gives me a 'resulting size' which is much less than what I see when I open the 'get info' option (around 1.5MB). Does anyone know anything about why this is?
3) I understand the 'myth' surrounding dpi but is there any reason WHY everything is opening at 72dpi when other programs have opened my images at 300dpi?
Many thanks in advance for your help
Sarah

have you tried exporting with no option? the final size depends on lot of things (and no matter how big it is it will not be better than the original

Does anyone know anything about why this is?
Actual size would be large - think TIFF size - all JPEG sized re compresses - more compression means slightly less quality and smaller size
3) I understand the 'myth' surrounding dpi but is there any reason WHY everything is opening at 72dpi when other programs have opened my images at 300 dpi?
Because DPI has not meaning until there are inches associated with the image - it is a meaningless number

How to remove banding from exported images (png, tiff) from illustrator layout with gradient

is there any way to remove or reduce banding that I am getting in a layout I've done that contains a gradient? I am exporting raster images (png or tiff) and there is a noticeable stepping of tonalities, rather than a smooth shift
thanks

In an 8bit format like PNG you only have 1024 unique levels...
1024 is 10 bits. 8 bits is 256.
But PNG is an RGB 8-bit per channel format. That yields 256^3 (i.e.; 24-bit or 16.7 million) potential "levels" (colors).
...banding that I am getting in a layout...
Banding that you are getting where?
What are the specific color values involved?
What is the final use?
What will be the distance across the gradient in its final use?
You have to consider whether the banding is actually in the raster image, or if it is merely an artifact of where/how the image is being viewed.
Banding is not a simple matter of image color depth. Banding is a device-dependent phenomena. The banding you see on your monitor is not the same banding that will be seen on your grayscale laser printer; is not the same banding that will be seen on your CMYK inkjet printer; is not the same banding that will be seen on press. Banding in print is generally more a function of levels of gray (per separation) of the imaging device, and can vary depending on the halftone ruling (assuming conventional AM screening).
Depending on the answers to the questions above, you may very well be fretting over nothing.
