Image resoltion question

I have a basic question about image resolution. I have taken
some pics for a brochure with a digital camera. The pictures are
2800 x 2100 pix. (6.1 MP), 72 DPI.
My printer recommends sending TIFF format at 300 DPI. I can
create a postcard at 300 DPI and add the image, without resampling
the image.
Will that print ok, or do I need to find a digital camera
that will shoot at 300 DPI. I am obviously a novice and I could not
find an answer to my question in the archives.
Thanks.

As a small addition to what Richard said, I think I'll
explain in more
detail while camera ppi (or dpi) is a fake.
From practical point of view, neither camera nor your eye
have resolution
in "inches". Both your eye and your camera have *angular*
resolution, not
*linear*. It may be recalculated to linear only when you are
referring to
particular viewing distance - that is, from a long distance
you only
recongize objects of meter size, and from a hand distance -
of millimeter
size; and they may take the same amount of pixels in your
camera photos.
As a result, there is no such a thing like "best resolution
for print" -
you may print large billboard at much smaller resolution than
fine art
catalog, and both will look the same under appropriate
circumstances - one
from several meters distance, the other being viewed through
a looking
glass. Also, there is no such a thing as "camera resolution"
(unless we
put the real ruler in the scene <g>). There may be
*formal* resolution
setting the camera puts in the image file, or even more
likely some formal
resolution assumption your software makes when it reads the
file without
any resolution setting in it (you know, software don't like
"divide by
zero" things, so it often makes some non-zero assumptions
when it can't
get real figures).
So forget about resolution of camera files. All you need is
enough pixels
to cover the number of inches that you wish, under the print
resolution
you want. As Joe said, you are likely to have more than you
need.

  • Image Printing Question

    Hello,
    Bottom line summary: How do I use the Media and Quality setting to get a good image?
    I have an image printing question for an HP 8600 Office. I am trying to get a decent quality image to print
    on regular paper. I gather that I will not get the quality of a photo printer. I gather I'm supposed to use
    HP glossy paper. Please read on ...
    Images come out grainy (rastery) when embedded from an MSPaint project, and if I use Word. However when I printed just an image from image viewer it came like a photo ... but I can't remember what I did. It definitely is capable of printing better. My cartridges all check out, etc. I did the Print Quality Report ... I sure wish I could get that quality when I print other things.
    I tried messing with different settings from the Print - Preference. The Quality (Best, Normal, Draft) doesn't effect the outcome. I tried going into Print - Preference - Media and it makes a difference. I can't figure out which is the best setting for plain paper ... but it's not plain paper. The image rendering algorithm appears to be different for different Media settings. I also tried setting the Advanced Resolution to Maximum DPI. I haven't been totally methodical about this as I was in a rush.
    I see that the printer is being "smart", perhaps a little too smart. 
    So my question is multipart:
    - Is there documenation on the what the Print - Preference - Media settings do?
    - How do I get it to not use grainy/rastery image method, but use the nicer photo method?
    - Should I print Maximum DPI?
    Thanks,
    - Dave -

    Hi @DaveGold , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I hope you had a great holiday!
    I see you're looking into photo setup options. I'd like to help!
    First I'd recommend this document on Changing Print Settings in Windows 7.  This document should show all the settings you're looking into.
    Also, another thing to keep in mind, when you select 'best print quality' and 'photo paper'. It will only be as good as the source image.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Safari broken image link question mark in a blue box icon

    The url I get the safari broken image link question mark in a blue box icon most often is "apple.com/startpage/". There may be 10 or 12 of them. However, most apple.com pages have at least 1. In fact I am looking at 1 right now. I have emptied the cache. I do not wish to reset Safari because I do not want to reenter all of the passwords to various sites. Is there a simple answer?

    Hi Rex,
    Who is your ISP and what addresses do you have set in the DNS section of your System Preferences -> Network preferences?
    Have you tried logging into a different user account on your machine to see if that has the same problem? This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed)
    Also, do you use any third party internet software (Norton, Intego, etc.)?

  • Multiple Image Uploading Question

    Please forgive my ignorance here but I saw the question on multiple image uploading and this is something i have been trying to do for a few days now without any success.
    I am using CS3 with ADDT and PHP
    I want to allow my users to be able to upload say 5 pictures at a time, each user has multiple photo albums the names of which are stored in mysql table, the image name is stored in a different table with a reference to the album id.
    So, I assume that i put an insert record on the page, I followed the usual process used to have a single image upload and thought it would give me or add the extra file field options on the form when telling the multi upload to allow 5 images to be uploaded, not the case. Do i have to create a form on the page first with 5 file fields or am i just missing the plot here.
    Sorry if this is just something that seems simple but i just don't seem to be able to get it to work at all. I have no working example to look over and have serach google to see if there are any tutorials for doing this but can't find any at all.
    Thank you in advance of any help and guidance given
    Regards
    Ray

    Hi Günter
    Thank you for your reply and also for the great tutorial site you run which has helped me quite a lot with several things.
    ok, so i am maybe a little confused here, so what is the multiple image uploader for if not for uploading multiple images, and how does it give you the option to select more than one file or is it that you can't use it when inserting the image file into a database?
    Please forgive my ignornace again, i can see when i have tried using the multiple image upload thatit puts a text link called upload, what is that for because it doesn't seem to do anything on the page i have tried it on?
    Kind Regards
    Ray

  • Yoga 2 13 system image backup question

    Hello:
    I just bought a Yoga 2 13" ultrabook with 128Gb solid state drive. I tried to make an initial system image backup according to the steps in the manual, but could not do it. The manual instructs me to use the Novo button to invoke a menu with "System Backup" as an option. There is no such option on the menu. I found a post on this forum that directed another person to use the Windows 8.1 control panel system backup option.
    I did make a Windows 8.1 system image backup, but now I have no idea of what I should do to perform a restore, should I need one.
    Is there a conventional process by which I create a USB bootable disk that can then be used to restore the Windows 8.1 image? Or does the OneKey restore have that as an option?
    Bottom line problem is:
    I need to make a system image backup that I can use to restore all of my partitions, should I need to do so. And I need the procedure for doing the restore.
    Thanks!

    Hi Rudy1212,

  • Safari not showing images as Question Marks

    Hello Forum,
    we have a strange behaviour from a shop website in Safari for Mac and Windows Platform.
    It is a site with frames. When i click on the Categorie Nagivation it comes to situations when one of the frames reloads.
    After this frame reload the pictures only show as question marks. When i click one of the images it will reload the pressed picture and shows it. The other ones remain as question marks.
    The System Layout goes like this: Apache Server takes requests and redirects it to an application shop Server.
    Most of the Images are on Apache, the top navigation with the problem comes from the application server.
    Does anyone has a clue where to search for this problem?
    Firefoy and IE don't have this problem.
    Regards
    Jannis
    P.S. its the newest Version of Safari installed on Mac or on Windows.

    Hi Carolyn,
    thanks for your answer.
    The setting is still checked in Apperances.
    I tried to unckeck and check it again, but it woh't solve the problem.
    What i think is, that Safari has a problem with our system design or with http headers he interprets in another way than other browsers.
    What i found out too is, that there is Java Script. Are there differents how Safari interprets them?
    Regards
    Jannis

  • Image Gallery question

    I have been asked to help re-create a web site. The existing site is 100% flash. The site owner wants to redo the appearance and navigation and get away from flash.
    They want to have the various project galleries re-created without flash but want the behaviors to be the same as they are in the existing flash setup. check the link below.
    http://www.ecummingsarchitect.com/FLASH/main.html
    Specifically they want the thumbnails to auto scroll when the cursor rolls over the scroll arrow.  Also  want the roll over effect where -  roll over the thumbnail changes it to color and also changes the larger/primary image above.
    I have a couple of slideshow generators from Project 7 but they will not quite achieve these effects.
    Is this possible with html/css and/or can anyone recomend a third party product or tool I might use to create this sort of gallery?
    Additionally they want to re-create the opening animation on the home page of the site. They have made a little 1.7 meg movie in imovie or something that plays a series of stills but with an animated camera move acroos each still like a Ken Burns film. Slow zoom in or  zoom out or pan. Also has sound track.
    My question, is it "bad" practice to have a .mov or .wmv or some such movie auto play on the home page?
    Again, is this possible with html/css and/or can anyone recomend a third party product or tool I might use to create this sort of slideshow with zoom/pan effects and soundtrack?
    Thanks in advance for any advice or help with this.

    As Martin said, you can do some amazing things with jQuery transitions, animations and fadeIn effects.  And jQuery is  supported by nearly all web devices.
    http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/ 
    You can also use Adobe Edge Preview to create animations in HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript.   NOTE:  Edge animations are not supported by older browsers (pre-IE9).  Before you start, decide who your target audience is.

    Finally, for video & audio playback, have a look at Pickle player.

  • Aperture 3 image import question

    I'm trying out a trial version of Aperture 3, and have a (hopefully) quick question about importing images.
    I keep my images on a network storage drive.  When I imported them into Aperture, the program seemed to copy the files from the NAS to the Aperture library on the Mac's HD.  I don't want it to do that.  Lightroom, on my Windows box, has the option to just reference the file's location when importing.  It leaves the images where they are, and references the location in its database.  Is there a way to get Aperture to do the same thing?  I want my raw files to be accessible to any machine on the network, not stored locally.
    Thanks.

    No reason to guess .
    Most of the default Metadata Overlays show Badges.  Aperture uses different badges to indicate whether an image's Master is Managed or Referenced, and if Referenced, what the status of the Master is.  What badges are you shown?
    Also, right-click an image.  If "Show in Finder" is in the pop-up menu, the image's Master is Referenced.  If it is, select "Show in Finder" and see what happens.  You'll either get a message containing the Master's path, or you'll get a Finder window showing the Finder folder containing the Master.

  • Safari not showing secure site images (blue question marks)

    I have Safari 4 installed on my Windows laptop. I am having a problem viewing secure sites. All that appears is the text and then blue question marks where the images/tables should be. This is not a problem when using Firefox, Chrome, or IE.
    This is also not a problem on my other windows computers nor on my Mac.
    I've tried resetting Safari, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safari, nothing is working.
    Any idea how to fix this?

    I too am having this problem. I cannot access my gmail, ebay, facebook, or other login sites. If I attempt to access any site that requests user and password information, a safari dialogue stating "safari can't verify the identity of the website "...."". So far I've assumed that all of my certificates are comprimised. I don't know how to delete my certificates to get new ones as this information is not posted anywhere.

  • PDF Image Extractor questions

    I have 2 questions:
    1) I mentioned in a previous post that I'm working on a PDF image extractor, mine is a commercial solution so I would like it to be as competitive as possible.  I've researched many pdf image extractor tools and I've seen lots of tools that aren't that good (e.g. they extract corrupted images, distorted images, inverted images, not all images are extracted, etc).  I'd like to know from the community which image extractor tool(s) they consider the best?  Then I can compare my tool's results against them to see how I'm really doing.
    2) I have thousands of PDF's to test with for my image extractor tool I'm working on and so far I've encountered images that use DeviceRGB, DeviceCMYK, DeviceGray, CalRGB, Lab, Indexed, and ICCBased....I've been able to handle all of those correctly so far.  I've yet to find however ones that use CalGray, Pattern, DeviceN, or Separation.  Does anyone have examples of PDFs with images that uses these colorspaces?

    I would recommend that you look at some of the standard industry test suites such as the Altona Suite or the Ghent Workgroup Output Suite.

  • Swapping images/text question?

    Hi, I am moving this question to this forum from general as I got a response suggesting that dynamic html could be the solution to my problem. Any guidance on how to set up the behaviour would be much appreciated.
    The problem I have is that I have created a navigation menu using plain text that changes colour on hover and two images in different divs swap images. It all works fine using a standard behaviour but now the client has asked if I can also make the opposite work ie. when the user rolls over the image, then the text changes colour. Is this possible without creating the text elements as images and swapping them using a standard behaviour?
    I am not very familiar with the capabilities of javascript so some guidance would be great.
    The present draft site is here, so you can see the problem.
    Many thanks
    Richard

    Hi Richard,
    I suggest you to use javascript. I will try to give you a basic examle for this problem with a short explanation. Let's say you have the following html code
    Here comes the default text of the elementThe image has the id of firstimage and the div#first will be the object where the text will swapped at onmouseover event.
    The code above will catch the rollower event of the #firstimaged object and will make the ChangeTextofDivIdfirst javascript function run. With the used innerHTML property you may specify any html code instead of the 'the swapping text' .
    Regards
    Zoli
