Image losing resolution?

I'm wondering if there is a way to set my image to not lose to much quality when it is is scaled. Let me give you an example. I have a banner that is 1000 x 400. My screen resolution is 2048 x 1152. My monitor is a 24" monitor. I singed up for a google+ account and you can add a custom background/cover image. The problem is that when I added the image it automatically scaled it to fit using my computers settings, and this 1000px x 400px was scaled to about 1800px x 600px and lost a lot of its quality. I know I can make the image bigger, but I also there is a way to modify the settings of your image so that it doesn't lose quality when scaled. (not that bad anyway). There are no settings in google+ to change it, it just scaled it to fit my computer settings.
Thanks for any help.

There no way to perfectly maintain resolution of a bitmap
while scaling, but setting the
smoothing
property to
true drastically improves the interpolation when
scaling.

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

Hi Peru Bob,
I've tried two images, the results were:
Image 1
Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
Image 2
Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

How to increase the image size without losing resolution in iPhoto?

Dear All
I have pics i took with my phone which is not an iphone, just little sony ericsson phone.
Is there a way to increase the image size without losing resolution in iPhoto please? Or cheap 3rd party software or shareware perhaps?
thank you very much.

iPhoto has no way to do that. You'll need an external editor for the job. Not all have the capability. I know Photoshop has.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

I am losing resolution when I resize or rotate a line I have drawn.

Can anyone help me? I have been using photoshop to turn my drawings into digital stamps for crafting. I always import my image, then with the pen tool I re-draw it in photoshop. Usually I can take say my eye I had drawn and resize it or rotate it and it's perfect. Lately I try any of that ant the lines will get very pixelated or lose resolution making them super fuzzy and ugly. Does anyone know why this is now happening?
I used to be able to duplicate it and flip it to have two perfect eyes, but again when I do that now same thing happens, it gets horribly pixelated.
I have attached two examples...
Any helps is very much appreciated. I am having the worst time trying to figure out why it's doing this all of the sudden. It has never done that before. I have always been able to duplicate, rotate, and resize without it losing resolution or had the lines so fuzzy or pixelated.
Thank you,
Betty

Hi again,
Did you mean screen shots of my settings? Maybe that would help?
These are all my settings, and each time I draw a line and flip it or rotate it, it starts to lose resolution. It is also now doing it when I take the finished file and place it into a "guide" file for making a watermark catalog image. Once I shrink the photo it looses resolution really badly.

Image Size/Resolution for ProShow Producer ?

Need to prepare images for a slideshow I am creating in ProShow Producer. Not understanding their suggestion to convert my images to jpeg 1.5.
The projector is 1920 X 1080 and will be shown on a 26' wide screen at a movie theater.
I correct the RAW image and then Save As tif (dimensions are 5184 X 3456 at 300 ppi).
Usually I resize the tif at this point and Save As jpg. When I resize I have always put in the dimensions 1920 width for landscape images and resolution 300 ppi.
Would you just change the pixel Dimensions and leave the Document size alone?
They want me to Save As jpeg 1.5 and I don't understand what they are asking me to do or how to do it.
Can anyone explain this to me?

try google. It appears to be a webcam format.

How can you get an image's resolution information in OS X 10.3?

In Windows Explorer you can see an image's size and resolution by right-clicking on it and looking at its properties. Is there any way you can get this image information in Finder or by running an AppleScript?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Hi, Daniel. The Finder doesn't know anything about the resolution of an image file — that's why you can't ask the Finder to display it. Resolution simply isn't a Finder-accessible attribute. You need to use an image-editing, -viewing or -browsing application to display an image's resolution on a Mac. There are dozens of such apps to choose from, ranging from freeware to Photoshop, and they all work differently and have different capabilities from each other.
Let me add that an image's dimensions (length and width, in cm or inches) are meaningful only when it is printed. They have nothing at all to do with how it is displayed on a computer screen. And similarly, the image's resolution expressed in ppi (pixels per inch) is meaningless except when you're printing it, since the size at which you print it literally determines its ppi.
What is far more meaningful to know about an image is its dimensions in pixels, e.g. 1024 x 768, 1680 x 2240, etc., since those pixel dimensions are what actually limit the image's visual quality at any given size, both on a computer display and in print. The image's file size in KB or MB can also be useful, although if the image has been compressed into a .jpg file, its file size may be misleadingly small.

How to make Image/size/resolution agree with metadata resolution?

After scanning the help file a bit and searching thru this forum a bit with `metadata resolution' as search criteria, I'm still pretty confused about how it is supposed to work.. I may have never actually found the right part of the help file.
Cutting to the chase: How can I make the resolution reported by the metadata tab for resolution agree with what is reported inside photoshop at Image/size resolution. I didn't see any way to set how res is reported in bridge.
I see many pictures reported in metadata as 72 ppi for resolution and reported in photoshop as 200 pixel/inch
They do BOTH mean pixels per inch right? If so, or really even if they don't how can I get the two reports to show the same resolution?
There are too many processes that depend on knowing res in advance of opening a file for that to be so far divergent.

Some JPG or Tiff with Camera raw settings will be opened in ACR firstly when you double click them. In ACR workflow option (the bottom in the ACR dialog) the resolution value isn’t same with that in Bridge (metadata panel). If you go ahead to open the image in PS by clicking ‘Open Image’ button in ACR dialog and then check the image size from Image -> Image Size in PS, the resolution will be same with ACR (actually it is changed by ACR).
If disable ACR support for JPG and Tiff in Bridge (Open Camera Raw Preferences in Bridge and choose ‘Disable JPEG support’ or ‘Disable TIFF support’ for ‘JPEG and TIFF Handling’), JPG or TIFF files will be opened by PS directly and the resolution matches between Bridge and PS. I believe this is an ACR bug.
So what file types are you using and if they’re opened by ACR firstly in your workflow?
The files are *.jpg. But I don't see where camera raw comes in. These are common jpg files. I'm opening them by double click in bridge.
Any way I did disable jpg and tiff in the Camera Raw preferences as you suggested. At Jpeg and tiff handling, both disabled. and restared bridge.
However, I see no improvment.
For example, a file reporting 72 ppi in bridge when opened in photoshop ... Images/size resolution reports 480 pixels/inch.
There is obviously some kind of miss handling that has been done to these files for them to have such a high resolution. I suspect they may have been handled at Walgreens or Walmart... or similar since I had something very similar happen to me once when I had a bunch of pictures developed at Walgreens and they cam back with resolutions like that, when I know the camera would have given them something way less.
But I don't see how any of that should be effecting Bridges inability to get the resolution right.
Here is another example: some.jpg
It appears that bridge is showing an unusually huge file size in inches, to account for the reported 72 ppi.
Bridge:
Size: ...............1.14mb
Dimensions:.....1496x1064
Dimensions in
inches ............20.8x26.7
Resolution: .....72 ppi
===========================
Photoshop:
pixels
Width 1496
height 2064
Document size
inches
width 4.987
height 6.88
Resolution 300
Do you have further suggestions?

Photoshop CC crop image size & resolution dialog box

In previous versions of Photoshop the "R" button displays the Crop Image Size & Resolution dialog box. Is this feature completely gone is CC? I can't find anything the even references this dialog box. Anyone out there have this issue?

In photoshop cc 2014, the size and resolution boxes will actually show on the tool options bar instead of a separate dialog window, by choosing W x H x Resolution from the drop-down menu.

Is there any way that I can sort images by resolution?

Hello
Have you guys found out any way or apps can sort images by resolution?
I've tried Path Finder and Forklift, neither of them can do it .
For now, I'm doing this with winxp on a PD5...

You can do this in Finder. If you cntrl+click on the saved search query folder for images you can add resolution (width and/or height). All Images> Show Search Criteria>click on the "+" sign click on the drop down list on the far left select other if you check the box to the right (In Menu) that criteria will show up in the list. I use 4 resolution criteria to eliminate small files when do a "random" search (greater than but less than). You can also save a new "smart folder" with the criteria.

Enlarge image maintain resolution

Photoshop Elements 10. I want to enlarge an image and maintain 300 dpi resolution. If I enlarge the image the resolution automatically lowers. I need to keep the res at 300. How do I accomplish this?

Check Resample Image in the Image Size dialog.

I need to submit 2 photos Image and resolution

I need to submit 2 photos
Image and resolution & size : 4" x 6" @ 300 dpi ( how do I do this from iphoto)
Is there a way to upload these so you both can see them and then we can pick out 2 from 354 pictures
I have to complete by May 4th

300 dpi is 300 Dots Per Inch
So by simple math 4x6" at 300 dpi is 1200 pixels by 1800 pixels
To do this in iPhoto your photo must be that size or larger. Crop to 4x6 and export with a custom size with the maximum dimension being 1800 pixels.

Relpicating without losing resolution

I've got a layer that I am replicating, and I need to zoom in to one element.
I am losing resolution when it's replicated and I'm not sure if there's a way around it.
It's better to take the source cell at 100%, and replicate, then scale down the relpicator cell RATHER than scaling the source cell, replicating.
However, rather than pixelating it just gets blurry.
I've tested the original cell element by itself and before replicating I can zoom into the layer and it stays perfectly clear, no pixellation/no blur.
Anyone know a way around this, or does the replicator need to downsample the source no matter what.

Hope I can help you on this one Adam. - If you replicate a JPEG or a Quicktime movie, the resolution of the Replicator Cell is fixed by the source and it shouldn't be any better or worse than looking at the source layer before replicating it. Text, vector graphics, PDF sources is a different story. Even though they are resolution independent, they still get the resolution fixed in the replicator. But there is a way to solve this. If your source is the Text tool or Motion Shapes etc. *go to the Inspector, Replicator tab and check the 3D button*. If you are replicating a PDF or illustrator file: *In the project pane, Media tab and highlight your source. Now go to Inspector, Media tab and either uncheck fixed resolution or make the resolution higher until you'r satisfied*, but not higher than your graphics card can manage. That should sove it. And it also makes a difference if you change the RENDER QUALITY.

There may be a few links in Apple Support, regarding articles about how to use iBooks Author
and iBooks Store, etc; these would be separated into two general categories by device used.
Since there is an iOS and an OS X version of each, you may have to look to see what Apple
Support says about the one you are interested in; and how far their database goes toward an
answer to your question. Otherwise, a general search engine approach may be necessary.
Not sure if anything along the lines of what you seek would be available in an App.
References to iBooks Author and iBooks Store, etc appear within these two categories in Support:
For Mac OS X:

For iOS:

Appears a community host moved your earlier post into one of the iBooks Author or Store sections
after I'd replied to what otherwise may be a similar post. Not sure if the links to the Discussions area
of iBooks you are interested in, have similar questions or answers by others who'd visited previously.

Sorry to not be of much help in this matter.
Good luck & happy computing!
