Image resolution for converted documents and images

We are converting documents from several different formats to PDF. We have a requirement that the images must be 300 dpi when converted. I turned off the down sampling option in PDF settings. However, the images are all coming out at 72 dpi. So I have some questions.
Is there a way to control the dpi of a converted image?
How about an image embedded in a document?
Is there any easy way to check the dpi of an image in a PDF? The only way I've found to check the image dpi is use preflight in Acrobat.

No good.
I've followed the instructions 3 times to the letter and it still opens without any mention of a password request. In fairness, its exactly the same process I followed with the Google instructions so I am at a complete loss with this one.
Maybe my Macbook is configured wrong somewhere. I'll have to take it in to the Apple Store when I can get up there and see if they can work it out.
Thanks for the assist anyway Allan, I'm sure I'll get it working one way or another

When I change the time zone of the clock, the "Date created" time information for my documents and image files in the Finder window (and in Get Info) is changed. Can I make the time info in "Date created" remain fixed regardless of the clock's timezone?

Is there any solution for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

Hi there!
Is there any solutions for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

Hi,
As far as I know, there is no build-in feature that convert Office file to image format in Office web app yet.
I'll collect the information, and submit it with internal ways. Then, we could also submit the feedback here:

Wrong image resolution for TIF file

Under OSX 10.6.2, the image resolution using Preview application is wrong for FAX MultiPages TIFF files.
If I open up a file with this resolution:
Image size: 1728 x 1081 pixels
Image DPI: 204 x 98 pixels/inch
Color Model: Gray.
The image always show up all squeezed vertically which tells me the Preview application is not processing the DPI properly. When using the size menu from tools, it assumes the resolution is the same for vertical and horizontal which is wrong.
I'm unable to use the Preview application to read FAX TIFF files with the standard FAX resolution.
How do I open up a trouble ticket with Apple developers to fix this issue? I believe it's a software design issue assuming that all TIFF files use the same resolution for both horizontal and vertical DPI. The Preview application should be able to handle different DPI for horizontal and vertical resolution.
We're a small business and we are running the whole office with Mac Minis and iMac with a Mac Mini Server of course. We love it, but we have this annoying bug which I don't have any way to fix it.
Thank you,

Here's a sample of the tif file from our fax machine you can download:
http://www.hmnet.net/warp2/fax-standard.tif
Download the file on your desktop and try opening it. You will see the square at the bottom will look like a rectangle. With the right resolution, it should look like a square, not a rectangle.
If I open the file with Windows picture and fax viewer, the resolution is fine and the square looks like a square. But the same file on Windows with Quicktime fails to open and it complains about a corrupted file.
On my MAC, the file opens with Preview, but the resolution is wrong.
Maybe the FAX server is not formatting the TIFF file properly, but we can't fix that since there's no more support for it. But the Windows app is able to open it up with the right resolution. So maybe it's just some code change to do in the Preview app.

Formatting size and resolution for PDF documents

How do I format size and resolution for PDF documents with Adobe ReaderX

No way that I know of with just the free Reader.

How to Restrict printing the document using IRM for a Single Document?Allow printing for some documents and restrict the printing for particular documents in same document library?

Can we able to Configure the IRM in Document Level in SharePoint Document libraries?
The document library contains multiple document sets , Can we restrict the printing according to document sets? Allow printing for some documents and restrict the printing for particular documents in same document library
Is this possible?Please suggest.

Yes, that can be done. But note that all administrators will have the same right to print, so you need to make sure the users are not administrators. You can include a macro to disable printing, but if the users disable macro, they can print the documents.
Hence, there is no foolproof way to prevent printing documents. If you still need a foolproof security, PDF format provides password based security (viewing doesn't require a password) that can be implemented to prevent the document from printing,
which doesn't require any special scripts and is tough.

Different image resolution on computer screen and on phone (saturation)

I am using Photoshop on Windows 8. Whenever I transfer an edited image to my phone, the resolution is different i.e. the colours appear more saturated on my phone than on my computer screen (much more than intended).
May I know how to solve this problem?

Using save for web will convert the profile to srgb for you. I believe there is an option in the save for web diaog box that needs to be enabled for that conversion to take place.
Not all devices or programs honor the color profile or read the profile. It would be those devices and programs that can be different in color shift. In those cases, there is very little you can do.
Most programs that don't read the profile assume srgb, but there is no guarantee.
As for resolution, each device is its own. You can find the specs for most devices on Wikipedia. When designing you are better off working with the highest resolution then using save for web or the new asset generator save out lower resolutions for each device you want to aim for.
If you have Illustrator or flash you could export out an svg file of the vector data created in those programs which are scalable and are becoming a standard at least for web browsers, but I am seeing Microsoft and Apple promoting scalable user interfaces for coding. Which leads me to believe that phone and tablet UI's will be seeing this soon as well if they aren't already.

Image resolution for Photoshop EPS bitmaps

Greeting all,
I've posted about getting image resolution before and have a script we've been using with great success but I just learned from my operator that the script never returns the resolution for Photoshop EPS bitmap files.
I'm using .Graphics(1)..ActualPpi(0) and most times works just fine except for the Photoshop EPS bitmap files. Photoship color EPS, gray EPS and a bitmap TIF saved from Photoshop works just fine. Everything except Photoshop EPS bitmap.
I've tried using .EPSs(1).ActualPpi but that yields the same result.
Is there somethnig I'm missing (again)?
Many thanks,
Ken

Hi guys,
I offer the following approach to solve the problem:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myAllGraphics = myDoc.allGraphics;
var myGraphic = myAllGraphics[0];
var myLink = myGraphic.itemLink;
var myLinkXmp = myLink.linkXmp;
var myCreator = myLink.linkXmp.creator;
if (myCreator.indexOf("Adobe Illustrator") != -1) {
    alert("The first link was created in Illustrator");
else if (myCreator.indexOf("Adobe Photoshop") != -1) {
    try {
        var myXres = myGraphic.actualPpi[0];
        var myYres = myGraphic.actualPpi[1];
    catch(err) {
        if (err == "Error: A value is not available for this type of image.") {
            var myXres = myLinkXmp.getProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/", "tiff:XResolution");
            var myYres = myLinkXmp.getProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/", "tiff:YResolution");
    alert("Resolution of the first link:\nX: " + eval(myXres) + " ppi\nY: " + eval(myYres) + " ppi");

Is there a way to adapt image sizes for telephone, tablet and PC versions?

I know Muse is not a CMS. Doing repetative actions all time, is timeconsuming and boaring.
The ideal situation would be:
Dump all pictures in a folder. Muse adapts the resolution of the pictures to match the requierements of the site for telephone, tablet and PC. Muse presents the pictures in a resolution apropriate to the device.
Thank you for your time.

1. Image placed in desktop version
2. Same image (copy/paste) placed in phne version

Automatically generate thumbnail image icons for all pix and vids...

hello,
i've searched around on the forums a bit about making the icons of my pics and vids actual thumbnail images made from the picture or the first frame of the video.
a lot of responses are mistaking this question for "how do i put the window into icon view?" this infact is not the answer that i suspect a lot of windows converts are looking for.
windows automatically makes such icons for all pix and vids if you put the window into icon view.
i notice in at cmd-j or in the window preferences there is a checkbox for "show image preview" or something like that, but despite this being checked, my pix and vids do not show an image preview. i'm gathering that this information does not exist in the resource fork which mac uses to organize photos.
is there any script or addition i can make to my system to automatically generate icons for pics and vids of all types? how to i suggest to mac that they add this functionality into the next release?
thanks for your time,
max

The Finder will create icons "on the fly" for nearly all graphic type files (jpegs, tiff, psd, and so on) and display them in both icon view and column view, provided the appropriate view preference has been set. Movies will just have the generic movie icon in icon view, and have a "live" preview in column view, ie you can play them in preview mode. If you want to add a permanent thumbnail which will display in all views, and whether or not the preference has been set for a particular folder in Finder, you'll need to add a thumbnail to the file. There are lots of ways to do this for static pictures, even rather clumsy ways to do it for movies, but the easiest thing is to get CocoThumbX:
http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/
Drag and drop both static pictures and movie files onto the application and a permanent thumbnail is created. Indeed, it will create cool thumbs even for things like PDF and HTML files (code or rendered display). For movies to get a thumb, they must be in a format that QuickTime can read. It has a set of preferences for just how you want the thumb determined (eg random or at a certain time), and you can drop batches of movies or even folders to have it assign thumbs to multiple movies at the same time. It is a way cool piece of shareware.

Need conversion mechanism for converting 24 bit image to 16 bit

In my java project I need to convert 24 bit image to 16 bit image. I don't have any clue. Please provide me the option to implement it.
Thanks,
jai

That doesn't tell me much, and I know what you're talking about. I doubt that it tells the OP anything useful whatsoever.Sorry EJP, it was a mouthful I know. Maybe this will help instead, a ColorConversionOps class to work on *32 bit > 16 bit > 32 bit colors*. To help clarify where the 16 bit color input and output goes, some of the methods return or require parameters of type short. Also take notice the bitmask for variables of type short vs the bitmasks for int. AND pay particular attention to the unsigned right bit-shifting of the most-significant-digit.
public class ColorConversionOps
public static short convert32_16(int rgb) {
    int a = ((rgb & 0xF0000000) >>> 16);
    int r = ((rgb & 0x00F00000) >> 12);
    int g = ((rgb & 0x0000F000) >>   8);
    int b = ((rgb & 0x000000F0) >>   4);
    return (short)( a | r | g | b);
public static int convert16_32(short rgb) {
    int a = ((rgb & 0xF000) << 16);
    int r = ((rgb & 0x0F00) << 12);
    int g = ((rgb & 0x00F0) << 8);
    int b = ((rgb & 0x000F) << 4);
    return (a | r | g | b);
public static void printRGB_32(int rgb) {
    System.out.println("a="+((rgb & 0xFF000000) >>> 24));
    System.out.println("r="+((rgb & 0x00FF0000) >> 16));
    System.out.println("g="+((rgb & 0x0000FF00) >> 8));
    System.out.println("b="+ (rgb & 0x000000FF));
    System.out.println();
public static void printRGB_16(short rgb) {
    System.out.println("a="+((rgb & 0xF000) >>> 12));
    System.out.println("r="+((rgb & 0x0F00) >> 8));
    System.out.println("g="+((rgb & 0x00F0) >> 4));
    System.out.println("b="+ (rgb & 0x000F));
    System.out.println();
}Now to make the conversion from 32 bit color to 16 bit color and back. NOTICE there willl be a loss of precision -- just like someone else has already said.
public class Test
public static void main(String[] args)
    int rgb = 0xFFFFFFFF;
    ColorConversionOps.printRGB_32(rgb);
    //a=255
    //r=255
    //g=255
    //b=255
    rgb = ColorConversionOps.convert32_16(rgb);
    ColorConversionOps.printRGB_16((short)rgb);
    //a=15
    //r=15
    //g=15
    //b=15
    rgb = ColorConversionOps.convert16_32((short)rgb);
    ColorConversionOps.printRGB_32(rgb);
    //a=240
    //r=240
    //g=240
    //b=240
}And now we see, the reason 16bit color is so unpopular to the rest of the world, but not for us here!

Support for RAW Video and Image Sequences

Being a stills photographer who moved into video some years back, I'm very interested in the direction Lightroom is going with regards to video support. I haven't tried it yet but I wondered if LR4 supports Red R3D files? And would it perhaps support other future RAW video formats from the likes of Canon and Sony? It would seem like the perfect application, perhaps intergrating with Premiere in a similar way to RedCine with FCP. Be great to be able to log footage, orginize it into bins and do basic colour correction in LR, edit the project in Premiere and re-touch in After Effects.
Another task LR would seem ideally suited to is combining image sequences into timelapse video. Shooting timelapse as an image sequence on a DSLR is pretty much standard practice these days; and I've used LR to colour correct, crop and scale my sequences (before fitting them together in Quicktime) for years now. It would be fantastic to be able to preview the clip and export the video (as DPX, ProRes or DNxHD) from within Lightroom.
These are obviously fairly long term wishes. In the short term though, the video features are pretty much useless to me without support for exporting ProRes and DNxHD files. With this LR becomes a powerful asset manager that could be used to collect together footage from multiple sources/codecs and transcode it all for editing. As mentioned in a previous thred, XML support would make it even more useful in this context. There is definitly a gap in the market for an application than can handle this kind of task well.
With other manufactures floundering or neglecting their professional user base, Adobe would seem poised to take the video post crown. I wonder if Lightroom could be part of the takeover?

As I understand it Andy, its intention is to remain a photographers program, not a videographers program. The basic video features are available for lightweight management of videos coming from digital cameras, but it's not going too much further than that at this point in time. Of course that may change in the future, but we'll all have to wait and see on that one.
