Image resolution from 72 to 300 for print

hello photoshopers.
if i am to print a large banner or Billboard that will be 10meters by 5meters height.lets say i do my documents settings 10cm x 5cm 72dpi in order for the mac to work faster,could i later change the document settings to 300dpi or would my print come out pixelated?
is it recomended to change the resolution from 72 to 300 at the end of a project?
thank you.

You have to do the Math in your scaling ratio. What you have to do is achieve around 100ppi image resolution at 100% final size for grand format billboard output. You could get away with 72ppi image resolution, so if your scale is 400% ( or file size @ 25% ); a 300ppi image res in the file will work. Now, to answer your question...no. Final resolution should be pre-determined at file construction / origination. So, if you want 300dpi document resolution at 100%; the file resolution should be 1200dpi / 300ppi min. Try to get in the habit of preparing your files this way. You should know going in what your final resolution requirements are for each project. It is faster to work at 72dpi, however, I'm not sure it is a good idea because Raster effects usually do not regenerate well sizing up to 300dpi later on.

DL high resolution SAP-Netweaver-marketing-pictures for printing

Hi,
does someone know where I can download some SAP-"marketing"-pictures in high resolution for printing? Maybe they have a download section for press releases. I was looking for such a section but was not able to find one.
Especially I am looking for this picture:
http://www.cundus.de/img/seiten/produkte/sap/enterprise_portal_01.gif
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Thomas

The company already told me that they will refund my money so that is not the problem.
The ratio differences is what the person told me initially too, however told me that I could also change the dimensions so that the photos would not be cropped and centered automatically...but that's not what I want to do, as it would leave white space on the sides and top, and I have several that I want to frame.
So what do I do now? I have 100's of pictures and over 90% of them have this problem. I used your software to enhance the photos, crop the photos, etc... but I don't see an area that explains to me what part of the image will be cropped out once they are sent out to print. Nor to I see an area that gives me a rectangular dimension to work from. If I have to crop these pictures to get them to turn out right, I need to get started on this right away.
When I print these on my own printer they seem to print just fine. There are too many to print this way, however.

What is the image resolution in the PDF file for an "Add Image"?

I am using Acrobat Pro XI. I added a 600 dpi image to my PDF file. When I click on it and copy a chunk of it, then paste it into paint, the image resolution is 96 dpi. How can I tell the resolution is of images in my PDF file? I am trying to keep at least 300 dpi image resolution. Thank you for any help in understand this.

then paste it into paint, the image resolution is 96 dpi
That's the consequence of using the OS's clipboard.
A PDF can have image content of different resolution.
You can look in the application's Preferences - Convert to PDF - [select one of the supported image file formats] to observe settings.
Some are user configurable.
Basically if you insert "x" ppi that's the resolution of that image that is not on the PDF page.
Be well...

Can I use png format images when sending an iphoto book for printing?

Writing an iPhoto book, I want to use some photographs taken by friends, and these photos are in png format. Will they work when I upload them for printing?

Dear Larry
Thank you very much for the information. I hate pressing buttons when I am not sure of what will happen!
Many thanks

Get image from local file system for printing

If a user clicks Print, I would like to be able to print the
stationery header if the user wants to print on plain paper. Can I
pick up the image from the users local file system and add it
directly to the print send object? Prior to this the user would
simply upload the location of the image to the remote server where
the swf resides, or do I have to ask him to upload the image itself
and then download it again every time he uses the program?
Doug

Here is a snippet from the Flex 2 user guide about urlloader:
When using this method, consider the Adobe® Flash®
Player security model:
For Flash Player 8 and later:
Data loading is not allowed if the calling SWF file is in the
local-with-file-system sandbox and the target resource is from a
network sandbox.
Data loading is also not allowed if the calling SWF file is
from a network sandbox and the target resource is local.
As far as I know there is no way for a user to "trust" an swf
file. This is not like an activeX control.

Hey, I got a doubt that who will call the print method in the same program and what about the g.drawString() it is showing any output effect. Finally how the variable n will get initializing to 0 and 1 for two times respectively. Can u please elaborate on this...

Image Resolution from Photoshop to Indesign

So, I have a logo that is 300 ppi in photoshop, but when I place the image in indesign it's effective ppi is much lower. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to have the logo on a separate layer in indesign?

Doc Maik,
I Think you're totally right!

Embedding fonts and images for printing (press quality PDF)

I have a question about a document I have produced in InDesign that needs to go to the printers. They have told me to make sure it is a print ready document with all of the fonts and images embedded. When I convert an indd document for printing 'locally', I normally just use the Adobe PDF presets and select press quality. I thought ID works its magic and does everything required to make it print ready. Is there anything else I need to do regarding fonts and images to make the PDF ready for print?
Thanks
Mark

Thank you.
As to bleeds, the printers came back and said my pdf is okay but that yes, I need to set an extra bleed edge of minimum 3mm. Do I set this when converting to the print quality pdf or do I set this whilst working in the actual INDD document itself?
Is the bleed then on every page regardless of the content?
What are the steps for setting bleed and crop marks. Does that mean when I place an image for example on a page the image needs to hang slightly off the edges by 3mm or am I barking up the wrong tree?

How do I change the image resolution of a photo?

Hi..,
     I am the beginner in Photoshop.
     I want to change one image resolution from 72 dpi to 300 dpi.
     So, I search and got one pdf for change the resolution of the image. In that they mention, take the "Printscreen" of the image and paste in the photoshop and change the mode(Index - flatten) and change resolution via the "Image -> image size -> Resolution".
     Like that i did, it changed correctly.
     After that I Open one already saved image file in Photoshop and do that same steps but the resolution was not changed.
So, now how to change that saved image resolution to 300 dpi...??
Regards.,
VISWA

Viswa,
To find the current resolution of your image, follow these steps:
With your image open in Photoshop, Image > Image Size (Like you've already done earlier).
Check the resolution as shown above. If it doesn't show 300, enter 300, hit OK and 'Save' your image.
Open the file and check again. If it still shows 72, post back with more details of the type of file you're trying to open in Photoshop and if possible, a screenshot so we can help.

Exporting and color conversion for print

I have artwork created in Flash MX 2004 that I need to print.
I have never done this and am concerned about color matching.
I realize that Flash works in RGB; my printers need the file
in CMYK and as Photoshop or Illustrator files. Should I export the
image from Flash and place it in Photoshop? I seem to remember that
Flash can convert to CMYK, but can't find validation. Should I copy
and paste from the Flash file into PS? My primary concern is to do
this as simply as possible as I'm dealing with a lot of art and
don't want to spend the time recoloring if I can avoid it.
Thanks.

Has anyone found a good solution for this? I need to export character art from Flash to use for print and consumer product items. Qualtity vectors are required.
The "best" solution I've found so far is to "Print" as either a .PDF or .PS file, then open that file in Illustrator. It expands all the gradients, and creates very complex vectors, but it's better than the standard export to .AI function, which gives offending operator "bg" errors. Still, it is a sub-par result, and I end up having to recreate art anyway.
(I'm using Flash CS4.)
Dear Adobe, this should be a no-brainer ... Please introduce a true vector export feature from Flash to Illustrator that generates art we can actually use.

Image resolution in Camera Raw

Hello.
How can I permanentely change the default image resolution from 240 ppi to 300 ppi in the Camera Raw 6.0 window (in CS5)? Every time I open a new raw it switches back to 240.
Thank you.

In my experience that setting should stick.
Have you repaired permissions and performed other system maintenance recently?

Calibrating image resolution in CS5-CS6

I am teaching a class to create a courtroom display. I have a ppt from the FBI Lab that told me to take two fingerprints, calibrate the image resolution and find a common denominator before i can proceed. I am new to Photoshop and am not sure where i calibrate image resolution or how.

Thank you for responding. Someone from Foray contacted me and explained what to do. They want the image size of two photographs to be as close as possible to the same. If there is disparity, I am to find a number in pixels that is somewhere between the high and low of the two photos…a common denominator. When the photos are resized to that resolution they should fit on top of each other almost identically.

Scanning Slides for Printing by 3rd Party: Maximum Print Size Wanted

I am wanting to license a series of vintage slides via my Zazzle.com store. The images scanned from the slides would be printed on the various products that they sell. Ideally I am looking to obtain the maximum resulting image size in the hopes of offering some of the designs on smaller sized posters. Some of the images were taken with everyday cameras while others were taken with expensive cameras such as a Zeiss Contarex so am guessing the film grain quality is going to vary although all are mounted in standard slide frames.
I wanting to scan slides, or have slides scanned, into a lossless format such as tiff for archiving purposes, which would then be copied and opened inside photoshop and illustrator. I also have negatives from box cameras and similar older materials, but want to tackle the slides first.
From reading the posts here the two main strategies appear to be:
1. Do it yourself:
I've read various posts that say this may take a specialized scanner costing $2,000, while others claim a Epson V500 does just as good of job - of course I wondering if the person using the Epson is wanting to print commercial products from the designs.
What machines are recommended for use with Lion?
Also there appears to be a debate about the best software, such as Digital Ice or VueScan? Any suggestions?
2. Hire a 3rd party service:
One main concern here is the items could get lost.
The other major concern is how good are the resulting slides going to be. I've looked at various 3rd party sites that offer scanning and each appears to offer a differing opinion as to what dpi should be used. I understand that at a certain point a higher dpi setting is not going to obtain any further helpful information from the slide, but what exactly is the maximum setting that I should be shooting for? I see services offering 4,000 dpi, yet some of the dedicated slide scanners can go much higher so I am wondering if these services are just wanting to use the lower dpi to save on the resulting image size as opposed to obtaining the maximum print size?

Kappy, How do you do it with iPhoto?
CMCSK, For some reason, against my expectations, iWorks or Pages was nowhere to be found. I "spotlighted" them after failing to find them in the applications folder. I did not think to look for Microsoft Word Trial Version on the Mac. I doubted it would be there because Apple has Pages and Numbers. I'll check later, but I guess I also want to know how to do it without trial software.
Kenichi Watanabe, Scaling only allows me to change the size, but not the position of the image. Halfway there!
RothRock, After clicking the arrow, I get many options, including scaling, but I can't find any positioning option (other than just the Centre option).
Does anybody know how to scale and position? I'm going to try iPhoto some more. Something as simple as positioning for printing shouldn't be this hard to find.

</html>
I only get the first frame picture for ever by my html.But the jpg file is dynamic.
Why?
Can you help me?
Thanks.

Hi,
Add this line inside your run() method, right before your call to repaint():
if (image != null) {image.flush();}Hope this helps,
Kurt.
