I am still having problems understanding changes in image size

Howdy
I hope someone can help me. I have an old record album (one that has never come out on CD). I recently recorded the album over to a CD recorder. Okay great, I now have the CD. Years ago I gave a copy of the LP to my brother. I want to give him a copy of the CD with the album cover as artwork. Okay I have a commercial scanner at my place of work so I can scan the album cover which is roughly 12 inches by 12 inches. I scanned it at 200 dpi. So I end up with this large image. CD covers are around 4 3/4 inches. I played around with the image using another program and thought I'd changed it to this size but it never worked out right. Now I have been trying to play around with the image in Adobe and just can't quite understand this. To try to understand this better I actually scanned a cd cover at 200 dpi and then opened this image in adobe. The size of the image says its 4 3/4 by 4 3/4 but it doesn't look like it would printout that way. It looks like it would print out much larger. I saw somewhere in this forum that adobe is set to something like 72 ppi and I think I sort of understand that but I guess what I need help with is the process by which I convert an image of the album cover which is roughly 12x12 to be 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 without losing too much resolution quality. Can someone walk me through this? I guess I don't understand how to resize the larger image to 4 3/4 by 4 3/4 inches so that it actually prints out at that size. This is driving me crazy!! Thanks.

Joe,
Try not to get too bogged down different resolutions - not least because monitors display images at a different resolution to printers.
The good news is that you have a scanned image that is larger than you require which means downsizing it is doing to be easier.
Go to the 'Image' menu, select the 'Resize' option, select 'Image Size' from the sub-menu.
A dialogue box should appear on screen. At the top is a section entitled 'Pixel Dimensions'. No need to worry about these, but for a 12" x 12" image at 200ppi, the measurments on my screen show an overall file size of 16.5 MB with the width and height each showing 2400 pixels.
Focus on the section below it entitled 'Document Size'. Hopefully it displays the sizes you have mentioned: 12" wide, 12" high, 200 PPI resolution.
Firstly, click in the box where the units of measurement are given and change them to 'cm' (CDs are 12 centimetres square unlike their predecessor LPs that were 12 inches square). The corresponding values in the sizes will change automatically to reflect your new choice of measurement. On my screen, where it did show 12 inches, it now shows 30.48 cm. Click on the figure alongside width and change this to 12. If the 'Constrain Proportions' option is ticked, the height will change automatically too. You'll notice that the resolution increases automatically from 200 to 508. Just click OK and your image size has been changed.
Best Wishes

  • Problems saving changes in image size

    I have some digital files that I need to resize for printing. Most need to be sized to print full-frame on 8.5 by 11 inch sheets of paper, while the others need to be full-frame on 5 by 7 paper.
    I'm using a trial version of PS Elements. I call up the image in Elements, then click on "Image," select "Resize" and then "Image Size."
    Then under "Document Size" I put in the width and height I want in inches, make sure the Resolution's at least 300 and click "OK." Then I click on "File," then "Save As," and click "Save." When the "JPEG Options" box comes up, I click on "OK." But later, when I call the file up again, the changes I thought I'd made aren't saved. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Did you check "Constrain proportions" and "Resample Image"?
    Since you want to arrive at 8.5x11" and 5x7" you will need to crop to these dimensions, since the aspect ratios are not the same.
    Try the crop tool. Enter height, width, and resolution on the tool's option bar.

  • Still having problems with images

    I am still having problems putting images into an Oracle 9i database and fetching them back out.
    I think I have finally managed to force a blob image into the database, but can't seem to get it back out into a byte array.
    After many iterations, I have come up with something that might be getting close.
    The code is listed below.
    Everything has been simplified as much as I can.
    The function get_user_picture_func1 returns a single blob for a specified index.
    In this case, I have hardcoded the index = 3 and I think there is an image in the database for that index. (it says there are bytes there anyway).
    The byte array to store the image is defined outside the method fetchImage().
    byte[] imageData;
    When I call fetchImage() I get the following exception:
    Invalid argument(s) in call: getBytes().
    at the line
    imageData = picture.getBytes(zro, k);
    It looks like getBytes has two parameters, Long offset, int length.
    I had diagnostic statements and I confirmed that the statement:
    int k = (int)picture.length(); returned k=4198 (the same size as the image).
    I am at a loss to understand what the exception is trying to tell me.
    I'be been trying to get this to work for a week now and am really getting burned out trying to find anything that works.
    void fetchImage()
    Blob picture;
    String query = "{ ? = call get_user_picture_func1( ? ) }";
    try
    CallableStatement cs = con.prepareCall( query );
    cs.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.BLOB);
    cs.setInt(2,3);
    cs.execute();
    picture = cs.getBlob(1);
    if( picture != null)
    InputStream in = picture.getBinaryStream();
    int k = (int)picture.length();
    imageData = new byte[k];
    long zro = 0;
    imageData = picture.getBytes(zro, k);
    catch( Exception e)
    }

    I have been using my iPad mini with keynote to make slide presentations in  my classes.There has been no problem until I upgraded to Keynote 5.3. Now the refresh rate on the iPad mini is so slow and out of sync with the projected image that I was forced to not use keynote! I have 2 years of work invested that I will have to toss unless this gets fxed. I have not had this problem with this equipment/files before. Only change was upgrade to keynote 5.3. ( Some details: I connect to the projector with a  VGA cable and Apple lightining adaptor to the iPad Mini. All updates current on theiPad Mini.)  Yes I did turn on and off all equipment. And I did check all cable connections. Thanks for any help you may give!

  • I am still having problems accessing java script sites.  Anyone else having this problem?

    I am still having problems accessing java script sites.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Javascript can be left on, but Java (which is something very different) should generally be turned off.
    Apple barred Java from running on Macs, leaving companies that rely on Java plug-ins out in the cold.
    Apple blocked Java 7 Update 11 by adding it to the banned list in XProtect.
    This was the second time in two weeks that Apple has blocked Oracle's code from running on Macs. This time Java is blocked through Apple's XProtect anti-malware feature.
    Java has come under fire as the means by which hackers have been able to gain control of computers. In April 2012 more than 600,000 Macs were reported to have been infected with a Flashback Trojan horse that was being installed on people's computers with the help of Java exploits. Then in August Macs were again at risk due to a flaw in Java, this time around, there was good news for Mac users: Thanks to changes Apple has made, most of us were safe from the threat.
    Unwilling to leave its customers open to potential threats Apple decided it's safer to block Java entirely.
    Macs running OS X Snow Leopard and beyond are affected.
    UPDATE for those running Lion or Mountain Lion:
    Oracle on Friday February 1 released a new version reportedly addressing vulnerabilities seen with the last build.
    Apple disabled Java 7 through the OS X XProtect anti-malware system, requiring users to have at least version "1.7.0_10-b19" installed on their Macs. The release dated February 1 carries the designation "1.7.0_13-b20," meeting Apple's requirements.
    Oracle "strongly recommends" applying the CPU fixes as soon as possible, saying that the latest Critical Patch Update contains 50 new security fixes across all Jave SE products.
    Update foror Snow Leopard users:
    Apple have issued update 12 for Java for OS 10.6:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
    Note:  On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.

  • HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did the "see Advanced - General - Accessiblity. and still having problems

    HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
    This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
    but got a 404 error...
    I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
    REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....
    JM

    You should still disable this setting:
    *Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
    What is the value of the <b>accessibility.blockautorefresh</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
    If you have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S.

    I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.  

    Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller?  Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones.  The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
    Try these steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
    4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
    5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

    What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
    After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Take Care,

  • Having problem with change of name in the datagrid Coding

    I am having problem with changing the name of the datagrid header text name for one of the data either in the flash file or the php file.
    The thing is i want to change the Course_Name to Course Name that has no underscore so that it will look nicer in the datagrid but if I change it in the php file like SELECT Course_Name as 'Course Name' ....., it will not turn out in the datagrid when I CTRL ENTER the flash file but the others like Price,description and display is shown.
    There is no problem with my php code but I do not know how to change the Course_Name into Course Name so please help me resolve this error that I am having.
    This is my flash code
      function goCourse(e : MouseEvent):void
      gotoAndStop(5);
      refreshResponder = new Responder (refreshSuccess, onFault);
      connection = new NetConnection ();
      connection.connect (gateway);
      dataDG.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, gridItemSelected);
      refreshData (true);
      function gridItemSelected (e: Event): void {
      ID = e.target.selectedItem.ID;
      courseTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Course_Name;
      priceTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Price;
      descTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Description;
      private function getParams () {
      var param: Object = new Object ();
      param.ID = ID;
      param.Course_Name = courseTxt.text;
      param.Price = priceTxt.text;
      param.Description = descTxt.text;
      return param;
      private function refreshData (refresh: Boolean): void {
      if (refresh)
      connection.call ("Course.viewCourse", refreshResponder);
      private function refreshSuccess (result: Object): void {
      dataDG.dataProvider = RecordSetDP.toDataProvider (result);
         dataDG.columns = ["Course_Name","Price","Description","Display"];
      private function onFault (fault: Object): void {
      trace (String (fault.description));
    This is my php file code.
      function viewCourse()
      $this->connect();
      $sql = "SELECT Course_Name,Price,Description,Display
      FROM coursetb";
      return mysql_query($sql,$this->_connection);

    i don't see where you're calling your php file in your code, but change 'Course Name' to 'Course_Name' (or vice-versa) there.

  • I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update.  Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before.  Help!  Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

    I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update.  The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing.  Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating!  I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help.   I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

    I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
    This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
    As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
    Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
    Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

  • HT4906 Both my iPhoto, Aperture and OX is update still having problem asking me to update my iPhoto.

    Both my iPhoto, Aperture and OX is update still having problem asking me to update my iPhoto.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) if you don't already have a currnet backup of the library and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HT6058 I have updated my I pad dut I'm still having problems my iPad seems to freeze and when I go to put in my pin it take a few seconds before the numbers go in and my games stop and start and stop and start for a bit before they run properly

    I have updated my I pad dut I'm still having problems my iPad seems to freeze and when I go to put in my pin it take a few seconds before the numbers go in and my games stop and start and stop and start for a bit before they run properly

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    why am i having problems since changing from snow leopard downloading maverick

    Yes you solved your own question, use printer handles color, whcih shodul have been the default. If you do want to experiment with Photohsop manages color, try the CMYK profiles, and send a cmyk file. Only exception is if you print to one of the few RGB printers like a lambda.
