Image size requirements

There are certain size requirements that I have for submitting an image for a juried show. The image must be at least 1400 pixels on the longest side, at least 72 dpi and no more than 2mb. Every time I try to change the image size to 1400 the mb is way too large. Therefore, I try to change the document size and it lowers the amount of pixels. How do I fix this?

Hi,
What version of photoshop are you using?
What are the original pixel dimensions and resolution of the image?
What file format is the requirement for submission of your image?

PAL background image size requirement

I'm trying to help Shingy who asked a question about a background image problem (see the message thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=475370&tstart=0).
Background images for NTSC projects (for at least the themes I've checked) seem to workout at the 'standard' image sizes: 720x540 pixel for standard and 854x480 pixels for widescreen.
With PAL, using the PAL 'standard' image sizes: 768x576 pixel for standard and 1024x576 pixels for widescreen - results in images far larger than the background.
Any suggestions to help Shingy?

Fred,
I don't know much about pic sizes, but maybe Karl's tables can help:

Problems with image sizes

There seems to be lots of confusion about image sizes and Apple iBookstore Support et al simply state that images should not be greater than 2 megapixels.
IBook Author Help > Photos and other images, states:-
Important: When you export your book for distribution outside the iBookstore, images are automatically scaled to a width of 2048 pixels, which is optimized for iPad with Retina display. Readers can view these images on other iPad models, but the viewing experience might be slower. You can improve the viewing experience on iPad models without Retina display by using images no wider than 1024 pixels.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5117 states:-
Publishing to the iBookstore:
If most of your readers will be using the original iPad, scale down images in Interactive Image widgets to a width of 2048 pixels and all other images to a width of 1024 pixels.
Previewing on iPad, or exporting for distribution outside the iBookstore:
You can improve the viewing experience on iPad models without Retina display by scaling down images in Interactive Image widgets to a width of 2048 pixels and all other images to a width of 1024 pixels.iBA help deals with exporting books OUTSIDE the store and simply advises that you can help none Retina viewers by having a smaller image. No help at all really - but suggests that the use of images 2048 is OK. that would indicate 2048 x 1536 or 1496. No mention of what resolution should be used.
iBookstore support basically reapeat this.
So to ease life in getting books accepted, should we all use 1024 x 768 @72ppi for iPad & iPad 2 and now iPad mini. ????
and use 2048 x 1536 @ ?? for The New iPad Retina display!
Both fail to mention HOW the books author would know which iPad a buyer/viewer will be using. Also if "we" only use 1024 x 768, those with Retina do not get an "enhanced viewing experience".
For a company that deals entirely with devices that use logical programming - there seems very little logic applied when it comes to dealing with a section of their business which by issueing iBA Free and wacking 30% of the top, must be adding to the $billions already stacked away in a corner somewhere.
iBA makes eBooks for use/display on iPads only. For months now since iBA became available, one of the most common requests on this forum is help with....image sizes.
It seems reasonable now when Retina is in use and eventually the iPad and iPad 2 will fade away - ditto the new none retina mini and ALL Apple devices and computers will be retina. So why not plan now! Surely images in shoudl be geared to deal with Retina displays. IF Apple would take that line maybe "Support" would have less work dealing with requests for help about images IF Apple accept that the next Stephen King may not have a clue how to deal with adjusting images sizes and simply state the required dimentions.
I make photo books and use 2048 x 1496 @150ppi - so far ten free books have gone into the store.
The suggestion about images for retina display as "standard" as been sent as feedback.

For all those who are still confused by Apples image restrictions / requirements...
In the new Template chooser after the recent updates is "Antique". This template has a Chapter background image ( the olde world print of sailing ships in blue litho print style ). This print when opened in PS is 2771 x 1506 @72ppi. 2771x1506=4,173,126 pixels.This implies Apple supply a book which does not comply with its own requirements!
Higher image resolution applied to printed photo inmages, make the image sharper. If for example you wanted to print a wall poster 45inches wide, the image needs needs a higher resolution to cater for the size, BUT the same image used for a 45" poster will print 4.5" wide print on your own printer!
iBA full page is deemed to be 1024 x 748. resolution from Apple is 72ppi. An image with those specifications will be OK in iPad & iPad 2 - but not so sharp on a Retina display especially if zoomed larger on screen
Now it seems 2048 x 1496 - double the original image size is suggested for Retina.
You can change an image in PS i.e. 1024 x 748 and change resolution to 144. PS will double the pixel size as you change the resolution. OK, just change pixel sizes back to 1024 x 748 and reolution is now 144.
That indicates a sharper image which will be suitable for retina display and in fact all current iPad models.
Today my 11th photo book was notified as available in the iBook Store, all my images were pre-formatted at 2048 x 1496 @ 150ppi. ( 2048 x 1496 = 3.063,808 pixels!)
During delivery there were no issues flagged and after delivery no tickets.
So I suggest all those folk pondering images sizes follow my example, which is now proved to be accepatble!
One thing puzzles me though, I dont use all images as full page and they can be masked down to - say - 250 x 200. Should just make an image to fit the size I want to display ??

IE incompatible ? Image size.

Hi,
I know very little about HTML, CSS and the like but as a photographer I upload gallery webs all the time for clients etc. I generate these in PS CS2 or iView MediaPro and then upload to my server (shared web hosting).
With a current project requiring a 'site' type environment I decided to try iWeb. Before visiting this site please note that due to image sizes with iWeb it's a bit on the heavy side and if you're using IE on a PC BEWARE of crashes! Safari may even crash as has done with me.
http://www.kura-images.com/camping
Remarks and problems :
1. As you can see my site does not resemble any iWeb template - using the 'modern' template I basically threw everything away and designed from scratch. It's a great WYSIWYG appli in that sense - no code - just drag and drop, resize, add some effects etc. I published regulary to a folder as a way of double checking but was impressed with the 100% WYSIWYG capability of iWeb
2. Image size is a MAJOR problem. My concerns are specifically with the gallery pages generated from the photo page temps. Thumbnails at 16ko is too big and the motor that generates the large image files uses a single parameter (800pixels largest dimension) that cannot be changed in any pref settings etc. It also uses a compression factor which is a tad too high. Using Image Ready or the PS gallery web function (driven by Image Ready) I can get as good visual quality for my web-optimised JPEGS for 65% of the file size.
Note : I tried this file swap as a test
I changed one image in the folder for the "activités" page (activities_008) - I made a smaller thumbnail in ImageReady and created a 600pixel version of the large file; I replaced the images in the folder with these and checked the site. The thumb appears no problem in a smaller size (btw 6ko vs 16ko - that's a big diff when you apply it to 250 images !). SlideshowJS however has instructions to open the image at main size as determined by the slideshow index file creation generated by iWeb. And that's written as 800pixels. So on opening the 600 pixel image I'd replaced, slideshowJS opened it to 800pixels (not pretty). The only way to rectify that was to go into the source code in the relevant 'activités' js file, find the codeline for the image 008 and change the values manually. And I'd have to do that with 250 line of code ! That rather defeats the prupose of having a nice easy application to produce your galleries.
3. Upload to my server via Transmit was trouble-free. No problems publishing to a non .mac server.
4. Problem with the page titles. The names you give to pages determines the URL. Any spaces means you get the %20 thing and if, like me, you're writing in French the accents mean that iWeb has to get around the problem in a different, and not very practical, way. iWeb creates a random character line as a name, and uses that as the URL for pages where accents appear in the title. When the assets and index page are published those long character names appear on the index file and folder.
I also think that may lead to compatability issues with certain servers.
5. But here's the BIG PROBLEM !
I had 4 people with PC's and IE (God bless 'em) check out the site. 2 reported repeated crashes of IE (unexpectedly quit exe. error). No problems with the homepage - just when clicking on some of the photo pages. What is really strange is that neither had problems when accessing the 'La Soirée' page, but both had problems with all the others. Apparently the crash came after IE tried to load the page, succeeded in loading a few thumbnails and then stopped and crashed 5-10secs later.
6. EVEN WORSE !
I have gone back to my site several times, emptying Safari cache each time, and have succeded in stalling definitively Safari's attempts to load certain pages. Just stops with partial page upload. I then have to quit Safari and re-open to be able to access any web page (even other sites). Sometimes it's OK, sometimes not.
This site goes officially live on wednesday morning but for now it's a no-goer. Just too erratic and not IE compatible.
PLEASE, any suggestions ?
Many thanks in advance

Yes, it is best to avoid spaces and accents and special characters if you can. If you must have them in your navigation links, then don't use the iWeb nav bar. Instead give your pages very short simple names with the Inspector, uncheck the box for "include in nav bar," and just create ordinary hyperlinks for page navigation. I don't know if this will help with IE compatibility, but it can't hurt.

IPhone app image size and resolution?

The icon and image creation guidelines specify all of the custom icons and images that I need to create for my app in two sizes: one for the iPhone 3 screen (and earlier) at 163 pixels per inch; and one for the iPhone 4 screen at 326 pixels per inch. While this guideline specifies the image sizes in pixels, I am unable to find any reference to the required resolution in pixels per inch. Should I save the images at 163 and 326 pixels per inch respectively?

As I said it makes no difference to viewing, all things being equal, only to downloading the resultant image if needed for printing.
If you were concerned with print quality you would probably save on maximum image quality -12 in resizing - but up to 90% - save for web - would make hardly a noticeable difference, except for file size.
You can reduce image quality to optimize file size using the slider in save for web and by looking at the before and after preview.
If using jpeg, it’s also possible to select progressive, which loads from top to bottom, without the user waiting for the full image to load.
There really is no point in using 1000 dpi which only blows the pixel dimensions way beyond even the best HD monitor, capable of displaying 1920 x 1080p

Why am I getting messages such as "The command "Image Size" is not currently available" when trying to run an Action that has always worked in the past and when the particular Commands do work if used by themselves?

Why am I getting messages such as "The command Image Size is not currently available whenever I try to run an Action that uses the particular command (and which has always worked fine previously) and when the particular command works fine when used on its own?

I would think that image size would always be available when there is an active document in Photoshop. The only time I remember seeing messages like that where they should work was during the five month period when Adobe released CS6 with so many bugs which took Adobe five months to fix. During those five month messages like that that should not have happen were common when action switch between documents. Adobe would start processing the next Action step before the document switch completed, Any step that required an active document could fail with a mess stating the command is not available.
Are you by some chance using CS6 version 13.0 CS6 without any updates. Use Photoshop menu Help>About Photoshop. If it shows CS6 version 13.0 you need to update CS6. .

PS 6 locks up when I try to use the image size tool

My system is Windows 8.1 64 bit
All the other tools seem to be working OK.
When I try to use the image size tool PS just locks up and the only way to exit the program is using Task Manager??

Photo image size for letterpress card

I'm trying to create a simple card in iPhoto 11 and am having some difficulties.
The various card themes have several layout options. Each option requires a certain size image (or sizes - some layouts are for more than one image).
How am I supposed to know what size of image will fit in each "layout box"?
Am I supposed to just play with the size of the image by resizing a JPG until it fits? Too time consuming - I've tried and I just can't get it to fit. Obviously I missing something simple if this is to be an "easy way to quickly make a card". I cannot find the required image size for the various layouts anywhere, so I'm clearly missing something.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1035 tells me recommended resolutions, but they are too big to fit into a card.
NOTE: I'm not talking about cropping an image or resizing it, which I can do.
I just need to know the size these card layouts require! Where is this information located, or what am I doing wrong?
Am I confusing DPI and pixels and resolution and ....?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Kurt

I'm not clear on whatyou are not clear on
You simply drag photos to the enpty photo frames in the template - there are move and pan controls if you want to change the position of the photo - you can reight click on a photo and select "fit to frame" in most themse if the photo ratios do not match teh frame ratios and yo are losing parts of the photo
the only "resolution" concern you have is that the photos are at least 180 DPI and if they are not you will get a warning
"Note: A yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point in the center may appear if the resolution is too low (below 180 DPI)."
The article you referenced gives Minimum pixel sizes for various uses - if your photo are that size or larger you are fine
The pixel size is shown in teh info window for a photo

Image size vs zip for reducing

I am not looking forward to open up files/mouse up to image size/type up the required 800x600 a million times, and I just discovered control/compress . My camera has, in the 2 sizes of the smallest set of JPEG, the larger @ 2784x1856 is a 728 KB which gets zipped to 712 KB. Being mathematically challenged, I can only tell that a little size is lost with respect to the 800x600 that I am allowed to by the recipient, from the fact that I can manually compress to 800x600 and get a better 1.2 MB.
In the next larger JPEG, the same 2784 X 1856 is a 2.6 MB which is zipped to 2.5, and I need to check the image size in pixel, VERY IMPORTANT for the recipient. It probably will be about double than the smaller, but would the pixels exceed too much the 800 x 600, should I give up compress altogether, and do it manually? And by the way, how do I open a zip file? And above all, can it be used for pict?

Thank you PZ.
I particularly liked the part of your answer where you said viable wait time will "depend on your target audience and their connection speed."
I have a custom cabinet shop.
A big part of my customer base finds me from a google search and fortunately for me, when they are about to embark on a kitchen remodel they are very motivated to learn everything they can.
I understand now that all referenced images are downloaded,
What about linked pages?
If I parse the images out to several pages would this enhance overall download speed?
That last question is probably premature.
I should first research the link you provided.
Thanks again.

Lightroom 2.5 Image Size When Printing

I have searched and tried several approaches, but cannot get LR to adjust an image size correctly when printing.
For example, I have a Lab Test Page tif image that has a document size of 23" W x 29" H and a resolution of 180 ppi.
I can use CSR 4 Image/Image Size to change this to 8" W x 10.5" H and a resolution of 320 ppi using resampling. The reduced image prints correctly in CSR 4 on 8.5" x 11" paper and results in .25" margins top and bottom. The same thing happens in LR 2.5 with the size reduced image.
However, if I try to print the original image using LR 2.5 to automatically resize the image it does not work correctly. I have tried all sorts of combinations of settings to get it to reduce the image (as is done in CSR 4) and print with .25" top/bottom margins without success. The image fails to resize correctly.
Is this a bug, a feature??, or operator error? Can anyone tell how to make LR 2.5 automatically resize so it prints correctly? I have tested this on other computers with the same results.
Thanks

Go to print module.
Select Print to jpg.
Set the resolution at 180 ppi.
Other output settings, sharpening, paper profile as required.
Set the margin sizes as required.
Set the cell size to the size of the image
Set the Custom File Dimensions to the size of the paper...29" x 23" in this case.
You can drag the Cell size and the various borders around until you get exactly the lay out on paper you require. Then when finished hit print to file, name the file and the job is done.
If you want to print a a different size, with a different resolution, on different sized paper, with different borders all this can be done in the print module and it is WYSIWYG so no guess work (or calculations) involved. Using LR rather than PS for this also has the advantage of using much better algorithms for upsizing images than PS and applying output sharpening for the specific media type you intend to print to, all using the RAW data

Lightroom 1.4.1: Reducing File/Image Size for Web/E-Mail

This should be a simple thing.
I need to reduce my file size to upload it into various things on the web and e-mail and what not. Sometimes it asks for a specific size.
Right now, I'm using the Export function to do this, which means I have to reset the Image Settings each time in order to get to the size required.
Isn't there and easier way to do this, like just type in the image size you want and have the program reset the image proportionately?
Is there a ratio chart for this, like 1000 x 1400 = # of bytes?
This is a function used all the time--I can't believe it's this cumbersome.

(a) How do I know I am selecting the correct pixel size for e-mail? Just keep hunting and pecking until I find the right mix or is there a number combination that works consistently? And if the latter is correct, what is that number combination.
I just can't believe that reducing the MP size to get it in shape for an e-mail "thumbprint" photo is this tough. Even with the 'preset', I'd have to set up a preset for every picture because they vary by MP and the scaling seems to change.
There is no "standard" size for sending images via email. Just make it small. There is a save for email preset in recent releases of Lr. You can download the demo and see what that entails.
You don't have to create a preset for each picture. I don't know what you would say that. Yes, the amount it compress varies with the information in the image, but this has always been the case with JPEGs. You don't have to make an image that is exactly some size. You just have to make it small enough for most MTAs and MUAs to handle. Since there is no real standard for this, just make it small enough for you.
Something like 800px on the longest side, 70-80% quality should do it to find the JPEG compression sweet-spot.

Can you lock aspect ratio, define border and image size with automated BatchCropStraighten?

Hello everybody,
I need to crop and straighten a load of scanned rectangular stamps that will start as a single scanned image, and I want to lock the aspect ratio to 1:1, define the top border size (such that the the borders on the sides will be bigger than those top and bottom) and specify the output image size.
Does anybody know if this is possible using the automates BatchCropStraighten function?
Thanks,
Paul

I know of no BatchCropStraighten feature in Photoshop. Photoshop has a Plugin CropPhotosAuto that you access through menu File>Automate>Crop and Straighten Photos.
On my windows system its "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Required\Plug-Ins\Automate\CropPhotosAuto.8li". This plug-in is designed to help you scan several image with a single scan. All the plug-in does is to look at the current active document looking for what appears to be a scanned image and to create an additional document that contain a straighten version of the image the size of the image. No files are created nothing is saved only one document is processed even if you had several scans open in Photoshop. When the Plug-in ends the current active document is the last document the plugin created.
You may be able to program a Photoshop script that would fit the create documents to some size then add canvas that would make all the documents have the same Aspect ratio and size. The borders added would be equally sizes on opposite sides top and bottom the same left and right the same. However the image aspect ration inside the borders may vary.
I created a fake scan with five simulated images. Not straight and not all rectangles and duped the document so two would be open the used File>Automate>Crop and Straighten Photos when the process finished I spread out the document so you could see all that are open in this screen capture.

I don't want a pre-defined image size?

Is there a program for pictures that doesn't require me to pre-define the image size? I want a program that doesn't make me choose the size of the image before I start. I might want to make it longer or taller, or shorter. I've been looking for a drawing type of program that will let me drag-drop smaller or bigger. Sorry to make the comparison, but something like MS Paint from '95, but without the crashy-ness of windows.

Have a look here...

How to increase image size by file size?A

I'm submitting photos to a stock site that requires a file size of 50 MB per image.
Is there a way to increase file size to match exactly 50 MB? What I've been doing is trying to guess the size of the image in pixels until it reaches 50 MB but that's not as intuitive.
Also, what's the best way to increase the image size without too much degradation?
Thanks!

Thanks for the answer.. what's the best way to increase the file size while preserving image quality? Should I just do it in one go or increase it multiple times until I reach 50 MB?
I also noticed that although it said 50 MB in the image size window, once the file was saved and I looked up its info. it was slightly larger.. ?

Gallery without XML definition of image size

Hello,
In my application, the images are actually created on the
fly. So knowing the exact dimensions at the time the XML is created
was a bit troublesome, since some images can be landscape, some can
be portrait, and they all can have different aspect ratios. So, in
it's original form, the gallery script didn't work very well for
me. Last night, I sought out a solution that would not require the
sizes to be in the XML file. Below is my refactored SetMainImage
function. Where the original version of this function downloads the
image after the opacity is reduced, this one starts by loading the
new image, then uses the Size effect to resize the frame to the new
image's size.
Hope this helps somebody else! Spry certainly has helped
me!!!!!! Thank you Adobe!
Peace,
Matt
function SetMainImage(imgPath, tnID)
var img = document.getElementById("mainImage");
if (!img) {
return;
CancelBehavior("mainImage");
Spry.Utils.SelectionManager.clearSelection("thumbnailSelection");
if (tnID) {
Spry.Utils.SelectionManager.select("thumbnailSelection",
document.getElementById(tnID), "selectedThumbnail");
if (gImageLoader)
gImageLoader.onload = function() {};
gImageLoader = null;
// Use an image loader to make sure we only fade in the new
image after
// it is completely loaded.
gImageLoader = new Image();
gImageLoader.onload = function()
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"] = new Spry.Effect.Opacity(img,
GetOpacity(img), 0, { duration: 400,
finish: function()
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"] = new
Spry.Effect.Size(img.parentNode, GetDimensions(img.parentNode), {
width: gImageLoader.width, height: gImageLoader.height}, {duration:
400, steps: 10,
finish: function()
img.src = gImageLoader.src;
gImageLoader = null;
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"] = new Spry.Effect.Opacity(img,
0, 1, { duration: 400, steps: 10, finish: function() {
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"] = null; }});
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"].start();
} // End finish function for Size call.
}); // End params for size call
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"].start();
} // End finish function for first Opacity call.
}); // end parameters for first opacity call
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"].start();
}; // End gImageLoader function
gImageLoader.src = imgPath;
}

Howdy,
I decided to strip the effects from the thumbnails, so they
all do show in their original full size. As a portrait
photographer, my goal with using technology is to help me sell
prints. Shrinking a portrait orientation photo down to fit in a
square makes people look short and fat, and even if the large image
is correct, people don't buy photos that make them look short and
fat. Plus, it was also important to me to include the filename as a
caption for the thumbnail. So that is a rather long explanation of
how I got out of defining the sizes of the thumbnails.
As for the large images, the code above is a replacement for
the SetMainImage function in gallery.js. You'll also need to change
the call to the function in ShowCurrentImage() from:
SetMainImage("galleries/" +
dsGalleries.getCurrentRow()["@base"] + "images/" + curRow["@path"],
curRow["@width"], curRow["@height"], "tn" + curRow["ds_RowID"]);
to:
SetMainImage("galleries/" +
dsGalleries.getCurrentRow()["@base"] + "images/" + curRow["@path"],
"tn" + curRow["ds_RowID"]);
Kin--You bring up some really good points. In my case, it
would be too server intensive to calculate all the image sizes on
the first load, as my server does not actually create the web
images until they are requested--then they are stored in a cache on
the server for future requests. So, I needed to do something that
would not depend on knowing the size before loading the image.
I totally understand why you did things the way you did. I
think I might have to figure out a pre-loading strategy as you
mention. Or, I may try some of the new spry effects to do something
a bit different so the user sees some action immediately on click.
That is probably pretty important, and I have not addressed it yet.
Anyways, here is the link for my development site. I'll post
here when it is done, because i'm not close to being done yet. The
password for now is 'blue'
