Image size isn't maintained after saving

I'm having some real issues here, I'm trying to send some photography work to print. I'm making the image size for the full print size, put my photograph in there and resize it to printer specifications. Crop the remainder of the image. After I save it as a new jpg and I open that jpg, it's right back to the original image size... it's not maintaing the measurements I specified. I've never had this issue until I got CS5, is there some new feature I'm totally missing here or what?

Well, that's your downfall.

If the pixel dimensions before and after saving don't change, you're looking at perfectly normal, expected behavior.
You were told that in post #1:
Is the number of pixels changing, or just the resolution?
If the latter, the print resolution is not saved in JPEG files.
I repeat: the print resolution is NOT saved in JPEG files.
It does not behoove me to inquire into why someone who "thinks in print terms" is dealing with JPEGs in the first place.

How do I keep original image size in InDesign CS after changing image in Photoshop?

Here is an example of what I am talking about:
If I have an image in Indesign that is scaled to 50%. I want to go to Photoshop and reduce the image size by 50% so when I go back to InDesign and update the image the image will stay the same size in the box, but now show that the image is at 100%.
How do I get the image to remain the same size in the image box after altering the size in Photoshop?

> How do I get the image to remain the same size in the image box after altering the size in Photoshop?
You do so by upgrading to CS3.

2 questions - change image size within print cell, and saving print template w/ specific images

Hi,
Searched the forums for the answer to these but couldn't find much.
1. Is there a way to change the image size within a cell (under print module). For example, zoom in 140% on a a specific image but still have it within the original cell size?
2. Say I create and fill in an elaborate print template with my images - is there a way to save the FILLED IN version of the template to edit at a later time? For example if I wanted to load it back up w/ all the original images layed out in the print template, but maybe change a few and resave as jpeg?
Thank you!

Hi
I'm not sure but maybe you can use a rectangle to hold the .ai image, resize the rectangle and fit proportionally the image inside it
hope this help

Size of PDF grows after saving in Preview

Greetings,
At my work we have a photocopier that also has a scanning feature that emails the scanned document to me as a PDF.
I frequently have to make minor edits to the PDFs in Preview--like flip them 180 degrees, delete blank pages, etc.
I've noticed that most of these documents are 2.2 to 2.3MB in size when I first receive them. After I edit and save them in Preview, they jump up to 3.6 to 3.8MB. Why are they growing when, if anything, they should stay the same or decrease in size???
TIA.

I'm not sure what exactly is going on, but many apps avoid re-writing the whole file by appending your changes and leaving it at that, if the file format supports it. So instead of saving a new PDF with pages removed, for instance, it is possible (again I'm not sure) that what Preview is doing is marking the pages deleted but not actually deleting them. So instead of "document - pages = smaller file" you may be getting "document + instructions to ignore pages that are not really deleted = larger file."
Are you simply doing a Save after your edits? If so, try doing a Save As to a new name. In many apps, this will write out a whole new file that's smaller because all unneeded data is finally thrown out.
Another example of this is Microsoft Word's "Allow Fast Saves" feature; if it is on, changes (even deletions) are appended as additional instructions that only make the file grow. To set everything straight you would have to Save As a new name.
It is also possible that Preview is using different, less compact PDF compression than the app that saved it before.
If your office has a Mac copy of Acrobat Pro, it might be worth seeing if it saves smaller PDF files since it does not handle files exactly the same way Preview does.

Why are my RAW images grainy on some devices after saving as JPG files?

I am new to the world of photography, so forgive me if my question is silly.
I just recently started shooting in RAW format. After editing my photos and saving them as JPG files, I am running into a problem. When I view the image files on my computer, my iPad, or my iPhone, they look great. I can even zoom in super close, and the images still retain amazing quality. However, when I set them as a desktop background, they are SUPER grainy. Here is an example. I just took a screen grab of each one on my computer. Here is the first one, which is the file itself when opened in Microsoft Office 2010.
Here is the screen grab of the same exact same file when I set it as a background on my computer:
Is this an issue with processing/editing/whatever the technical term may be? Or, is this a computer display issue? I could almost understand if the images were different files, but they are the same file. Can anyone help me out? I have a friend who wants me to take some photos for her this weekend, and I'm scared to shoot in RAW format for this reason, although I do enjoy the control I have over my images in that format. I'm also scared to see what my photos look like when printed.
Thanks in advance!

It’s really impossible to make a judgment from screen grabs. But how are you making the desktop background; ideally you should be using the original to make a re-sized image at the native resolution of your monitor.

Image disappears in the RH after saving and reopening the report

Hi,
I am using CR2008.
I have created several reports with images but didn't get this type of problem.
I inserted image in the Report header and everything is fine, after save and exit if I reopen the report there is no image. It disappeared. I tried all possible ways with bmp, jpg formats of image and re-size the image. Still same problem. There is a blank OLE Object in the Report header when I reopen it. Is there any solution for this issue?
Thanks!

Hi
Thanks for the reply. My problem is solved. The image file is too big in size and I resized it in crystal, that's why it behaved wiered. I reduced the size of the image outdide the crystal report in mspaint and then copied to crystal. It worked.

Image size is too big after "Smart Build Grid"

The Smart Build Grid feature is awesome. Unfortunately, I have one issue with it- it sometimes zooms the images too much when using the grid feature.
Specifically, I have a 4 x 3 matrix of rectangular images. With each Zoom from the grid, Keynote zooms too much, so that the center of the image is nicely displayed, but cuz it zooms too much, important info on the sides of the image is cropped out in the magnified image.
How can I set Keynote to zoom so that the zoomed image is only as big as the longest axis relative to the slide (thereby displaying all information)?
Keynote 4.01, OS 10.4.11, PPC G4 867 MHz.
Thank you very much!

But the image is in
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Input Status" ...
How can it be fixed? Please provide your advise. Thanks.

Image size change when save as jpeg

Hi
I have recently encountered an issue when I save file as jpeg in CS6. I prepared my image for printing and my image is a bit smaller than the print size (20" x 40") so I created a new file (8 bit) with new exact print size. Then I placed my image into this newly created layer and adjust my image size to fit. After this, I flatterned the image and went to file>save as and picked JPG extension. Dialogue box appeared and I selected 10 for quality (scale 1-12) then I hit ok to save. After that I went to open the newly saved JPG file and check the file size and for somereasons, It has been halved to around 10"x20". However, pixle dimension of the image remained unchange because I have unticked resample option. Does anyone have any ideas of why this is the case as It's doing my head in.
Thanks
Dean

This has been discussed ad nauseam here. Please do a forum search. < sigh >
Bottom line: If the pixel count remains the same, your image has not been "reduced or halved" at all. Just change the ppi resolution accordingly without resampling.
Save for Web defaults to 72 ppi regardless of what you had specified earlier,´.

Save Image size setting in Save for Web

I'm using Save for Web (CS3) and scaling the file to different sizes with "scale image". I'm wanting to use the same scale settings for many images but when I save the pre-set the image size settings don't get saved. I'm wanting to use it as part of an action but the setting wont stick. Any suggestions? Alternative work flows?

That's never been saved as part of the S4W presets. Bloody annoying.

Image size/image quality issue

I am creating images in Illustrator at certain pixel sizes (as determined by the person I am creating the graphics for), saving them, and then exporting them as .png files. When the person I am sending them to tries to open the .png files they are actually opening much larger (for example, I created one at 72x72 pixels and it opened as 238x238. When I open the file in Illustrator, everything shows the file at 72x72. Is there a way to make sure the image size does not change when saving/exporting it or am I doing something wrong??
Also, the person using these files is opening them in another program to add things to them/scale them down, and somewhere along the way, they are losing a lot of quality and becoming quite blurry. Is this due to the fact that they are opening them up in a different program and resaving them? The original files on my computer come up crystal clear in Illustrator. Anything that has been sent back to me from this person opens blurry in Illustrator.
Any help/advice on either of these issues would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!

Output your final PNG using the “Save for web and devices” option under the file menu. It will save as 72 dpi…..however the total pixel size of the art will be determined by your art board size.
A screen optimized graphic can be made blurry if it is rescaled.
Viewing your PNG in your web browser at 100% should give you an accurate visual.

Image size changes after saving and then reopening

I'm using CS6. For example I change the image size to a 4X6 and then save it. Then when I open the file it will be 7.5X5. What's the fix? Thanks for your time.

I'm using Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 7 - 64 bit system. I'm using the Image Size dialog box and saving the file as a 4X6 at 300 dpi from a psd file to a jpeg file. When I open the file it is 5X7.5 inches at 240 dpi. I've been playing with it and have just figured out that when I save the file as a psd file it stays the size I've created and it changes when I save as a jpeg file. This is change is recent. It's worked properly in the past. Thanks for your help.

Animation size larger than actual image size after saving as gif?

Hi,
I just created an animation (600x600 pixel) and saved it as gif. Everything seems fine except the grainy quality and the fact that it is nearly twice as large as my actual image size (100%) shown on photoshop. I don't mind the grainy quality but the large size is disturbing... Anyone know why or how to fix this problem?
Any help will be appreciated as it's an anniversary gift and I'm stuck on the last step running out of time . Thanks in advance!
Angela.

The 300GB partition is the partition I am booting off of, and the one I was writing about. Disk0s1 is the EFI partition, 210MB. The other Internal hard drive is the core storage physical volume, already mounted, mounted in the image. Recovery HD is the 650MB system recovery partition.
I rebooted to the recovery partition and used Disk Utility to verify the volume, it said everything checked out alright.
In disk utility, the top entry has this data
     Name :     Internal Hard Drive     Capacity :     319.21 GB (319,213,174,784 Bytes)
     Type :     Logical Volume Group     Available :     16.8 MB (16,777,216 Bytes)
     Disk Status :     Online     Used :     319.2 GB (319,196,397,568 Bytes)
However the other entry, right below it has this
     Mount Point :     /     Capacity :     318.88 GB (318,877,626,368 Bytes)
     Format :     Encrypted Logical Partition     Available :     202.18 GB (202,175,160,320 Bytes)
     Owners Enabled :     Yes     Used :     116.7 GB (116,702,466,048 Bytes)
     Number of Folders :     241,519     Number of Files :     1,246,454
So I guess the reboot fixed my problem, df -h now shows 37% used, but the logical vomume group still shows only 16MB free. Anyways, things seem to be working now.

Images Change in Document after Saving

Help! This problem has plagued me in both Pages and Keynote. I have designed a brochure in Pages and used "copy & paste" to place multiple pieces of clipart from another document into the brochure. Once I have everything laid out just as I'd like it, I save the document. I also export it as a PDF or WORD format so that it will be compatible for others to use. After saving and exporting, I close the program. Later when I reopen the document in order to make changes, my graphics have all been replaced by a single random image that has been used somewhere in the document. There isn't a rhyme or reason regarding which image is duplicated, but in every place in the document that had artwork, it is repeated.
As I mentioned this happened in Keynote as well as Pages. In this instance, I was using many photos which I inserted using the media selector (rather than "copy & paste"). When I came back into my project, all the photographs had changed to a single picture. AGGHH.
Am I just not doing something right? Or is this a flaw in the programs?

I never got this odd behaviour.
Most of the time, I don't use copy-paste but dag & drop which stores the picture file in the document in the original format.
When I uses copy - paste, I always get a tiff file in the document's package.

Why is same file different sizes after saving for web?

I have files that I save in PSCS3, under, "Save for Web & Devices" and I indicate under "optimize to file size" that they should be no larger than 60K. After item is saved and I go to "Get info", it says the file is 60K. Yet when I open the file in PS and go to Image Size, it says 467K. Why the discrepancy? Thanks for your feedback!

One is the compressed file size on disk (60K). The other is the uncompressed image size (369 pixels x 432 pixels x 8 bits per channel x 3 channels / 8 bits per byte / 1024, since K really is 1024, not 1000).

JPG images smaller after saving out of Safari

Maybe I am missing some totally basic knowledge about how Mac OS X handles images or Safari on Mac OS X is very different in this regard as compared to other browsers/systems:
I open a picture in Safari and it says in the title that this image has a size of 1271x1526 pixels. Now I want to save that picture by right-clicking into it and then left-clicking on the option "save image to desktop". That it does, all is well so far, but when I later open that image with preview it's much smaller than it was before. So I used a third-party image browser (CocoViewX) and there I get the full details, the image in the jpg file now has a size of only 153x184 pixels.
If, instead, I click copy in the context menu in Safari and then paste in CocoViewX and export from there in the same format (jpg), the image is full-size, 1271x1526 pixels, again.
What is this? Am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting I have to change so I can save the picture in full size right out of Safari without having to copy and paste via another program?
Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
MacMini and also a PC and an iBook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Dear scapesuiter,
thank you for your input, I wish it were that simple, but this problem occurs after I click the thumbnail and have the complete image in a new browser window. I see the whole image (even have to scroll because it's bigger than my screen) and right in that large image I right-click ...
It almost seems as if Mac OS X (or Safari) is automatically reducing the image size whilst saving it. But in Mac OS X this also doesn't seem to be a kind of thumbnail or so, I double-click the image in the Finder and then I see it in preview and when I click "original size" it's much smaller than my screen as opposed to before saving it from Safari (see above).
Again, thanks anyway, can you think of another reason why "it" might do this?
