Image size shrinks

If I save an image to either my device or SD card, the image size gets reduced dramatically (for example, from 600 kb to 50kb). This happens whether I 1) save an image that was sent to me in a message or 2) save a photo that I took with the camera (for instance, if I save the image to give it a new name).
Is there a way for me to have the blackberry save the original image size?

It seems to happen when I am not using any tools. When I have a photo open for any purpose.
It occurs with no input. I fix it by zooming back to where I was.
I am not working with a tablet. I am not working with a mouse.
I will need to look up these preferences. I did not know they existed.
Thanks.

Problems in placing .jpg images - size shrinks

Hi,
I have been working with InDesign for years and this is the first time I encouterred the following problem. Currently I am creating an online document with InDesign CS5.5.
The problem is that when I place (ctrl + D) an image (.jpg), some of them seem to "shrink" from their original size and become totally pixelated.
My original image is 192 x 380 px and it was placed as 46.08 x 91.2 px
I don't understand what might be the problem. For some of my images it seems to do this and for some not. There are some images that I have previously placed succesfully and then these same images are now shrinked when I place them. Could this be a setting change? I have tried everything, but nothing seems to work.
Very puzzled.
Any suggentions?

A 192 x 380 pixel image scaled at 100% that also measures 192 x 380 pixels on the ID page has to have an actual resolution of 72ppi:
If the actual ppi is different (100 ppi below) and the scale is 100% then the ID object pixel width and height has to change:

Changing resolution and image size doesn't change result on screen?

I'm using Photoshop CS3. I am trying to change the resolution of several images that will be printed in a newspaper. So the current images are 72 ppi and really huge -- for example 36 x 27 inches (document size), and when I change them to 300 ppi, the image sizes shrink to about 8 x 6 inches, as I expect. But the image I see on the screen doesn't change. So, for example, when I open up the image originally, it's at 33% and the entire image is visible. After I change the resolution, and the image size has changed accordingly, the image still appears the same and it remains at 33%. Shouldn't the image shrink on the screen since its size has shrunk? Or if it remains the same on the screen, shouldn't the percentage shift? I mean if the document size is now 8 x 6, it should be able to be displayed at 100% and not fill my whole screen... I'm so confused. Thanks...

gradded,
The "Document Size" area of the Image Size dialog is just to indicate the size (in inches) that your document will be printed. The ppi adjustment has nothing to do with what is displayed on your monitor. Your monitor doesn't care anything about ppi. The monitor contains a certain number of pixels and after you change that ppi setting, the monitor will still have that same number of pixels.
As long as you leave the "Resample Image" box unchecked, your image size (Pixel Dimensions) will not change. You will see no change on your monitor. If you check the "Resample Image" box, then your image size (in pixels) will change.
Hope this helps.

Transparent border appears when I use Image Size to shrink an image (bug)

In CS2 (9.0.2) and CS3 (10.0.1), whenever I shrink an image using Image Size, my layers get a slightly transparent edge. As a game developer, I make tiling textures a lot, and this generally ruins their tiling-ness.
Try this:
- create a 32x32 image, make it white
- add a layer, fill it with black
- shrink it to 16x16 or 20x20, using any of the Bicubic resampling methods
- notice that the edge pixels of the black layer are slightly transparent. This is most noticeable in the corners of the image.
Is there a better place for me to report this bug? I haven't found one.

Haha, you mean it's a bug in the spec rather than a bug in the implementation? (Unless there is actually a reason someone would want it to work that way.)
Yeah Bilinear and Nearest Neighbor both avoid the problem, but of course the image doesn't look as good.
I work around it by duplicating all my layers before shrinking. The problem is obvious (in-game) with only one layer, but still subtle enough that it's usually invisible after duplicating. Annoying, but it works.

CS5 - Image set at one size shrinks when dragged into another image?

I have Photoshop CS5 for Windows (just purchased this week). I am working on a school project in which I am editing an image and then dragging it into a calendar.
While working with the original image, I size it to 4.627"w X 4"h. Then when I go to drag it into the calendar layer, which is the same size, it shrinks drastically.
Why is this and how do I stop it?
For one image I was able to move it and it did not change size. But with all the others, I am having this shrinking problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Britt

The change in size is due to different resolutions.
You can set resolution in the Image > Image size dialog.

How to Reduce Image Size and show upload Progress Bar

i need to capture an image from the camera and send it to the server. however to reduce the amount of data transmitted i want to shrink the image and lower its resolution.
I have code that currently does the following :
UIImage *testImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.png"]; // this would come from image picker
NSData * imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(testImage);
// skipped code that showed URL string setup
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [imageData length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPBody:imageData];
NSURLConnection *conn=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
1. need some way to shrink the image size to reduce data traffic
2. need some way to indicate a progress bar as data is being transfered to the server

1. The size is visible in the metadata panel, set the dropdown to EXIF. In addition, in the Grid, with Ctrl-J, you can set the options so that you will see the cropped size in the rectangle surrounding the photo.
2. You cannot, in one action, upload to multiple galleries. Each upload is its own action. I don't know if there is a plug-in to let you upload from LR to 500px in one action; clearly there are plug-ins for Flickr and Smugmug and several others. There should be no need to re-import. Normally, the plug-ins I mentioned will take a TIFF, resize it according to your directions, convert to JPG and upload.

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'

Question on Blu ray image size output and reducing the size

Hi
I have been using encore for blu ray projects which is been proving very helpful. However recently i have had a issue with output size on files. Normally Encore gives me it's estimate that it will fill the disc nicely and provides a image/folder which is about 17-20GB (using 25GB disc) but now out of the blue it's files sizes it outputs has been 24.8GB which technically is less than 25GB but as anyone knows who burns to media, the disc doesn't actually have 25GB of space (something like 23,8 or something, i can't remember without checking). Anyway of course this is a issue because my output size is contantly now coming up to be about 600MB - 1GB over the disc actual size, i figured Encore normally compresses files to fit considering i have burned similar amounts/size media before and never had a issue.
Anyway my issue is the slightly larger file size, i figured the easiest way to reduce the blu ray output size was to of course play with the transcode settings, which usually are set to the default settings for Blu ray (the quality preset is called something like "1280x720p 50 High Quality MPEG-2") so of course i thought to lower the bitrate a little just for a test, so i did just that and cut the default bit rate from 25[Mbs] to 20, i didn't want to lower it too much as it was a test to see what i could save for file size. Anyway so i re-transcoded the file and built another image, sadly the image size oddly enough came out as 26.something GB... so it actually grew in size by reducing the file bitrate which put me at a loss. I was wondering what common ways i could use to lower this file size just by a few hundred MB or up to 1GB in this case without having to remove content from the disc (it would be a waste to not only seperate the content but to use a whole disc for a leftover 600mb-1gb project). I of course want to keep quality as high as possible but i understand when trying to reduce size quality has to normally be hit in these situations so i can deal with a slight loss of quality. I have been browsing the forums here and though some topics seem similar they have the issue of file sizes coming out as 40GB+.
Now im no genius with Encore, normally as said the file size is always between 17-20GB as i figure encore was using a "fit to disc" type feature but because the output size is technically below 25gb but not actually below enough to burn i was wondering 2 things:
1) is it possible to make encore it's self shrink these files a little more, lowering the target size down by 1GB would do wonders but only option i have seen is to have a 25GB disc or DL disc with no option to customize the output size (forcefully lowering it by 1GB).
2) because i imagine the above can't be done i was wondering how to go about reducing the size by around 1GB or so, i don't need like 10GB freeing up so it's only a small amount, as said this is a issue i have had with the last few projects i made and the size varies from needing 600MB - 1GB (it doesn't usually exceed needing 1GB free space... besides when i lowered the bit rate which increased size a lot). In the past i always just cut the bitrate of files down a little (never by lots but enough to free space up) but clearly that failed my test so im at a loss of how to reduce file size without a huge loss in quality.
For the record i have already produced the file as both a image file and a folder and both have the same issue.
Extra info on the project:
It contains 4 Menu's, 13 video files which vary in lengh from short ones at about 5mintues to longer ones which the largest is about 20minutes. I commonly burn this number of video files/space with fine quality and no issue so i would rather not take files from the project.
quality preset details are defaultly as said above set to "1280x720p 50 High quality MPEG-2" settings, i am not on my computer with encore at the moment so i can't post full specifics right now but if you have encore handy you should be able to check.
Tried reducing bit rate but that increased overall size, the actual plan was to hopefully lower the bit rate to around 21 [mbs] (from 25) and then do that for multiple (or all) files until it fitted but after it increased the size i lost hope there, it said the estimated file size (on the individual video) would drop by around 300-400mb but that didn't work.
I have tried both folder and iso which always come out the same size.
Basically my main question/problem is any suggestion to drop the file size by up to 1GB without taking items out the project or a real high loss in quality (i don't mind small loss though as i can apply whatever solution to all files which should help).
Any suggestions what i can try? as you probably gather im not a genius when it comes to this stuff but i tried including what i thought is relevent.

Hi and thank you for the reply;
one problem i seem to be having when reducing the bitrate is the file size is oddly increasing from 24.8GB to 26.4GB, i can't really figure this one out as well it's having the oppisite effect. I checked the "streams" folder on output and decided to compare automatic transcoding to manual lowered bitrate and im not too sure where the increased file size is going, i found which video file it was causing the issue, all videos files range or average around 1.6GB each but one file was taking 4.5GB, after lowering that files bitrate it cut it down to 2GB which was of course saving me 2GB from the old file but the overall size had increased which was odd. Seems the other files are all the same so it hasn't tried improving them (so it seems) so i can't make ends of why the size is increasing.
I will try playing with the source file to see if i can do anything that way, if not i will try transcoding in premiere (i have had troubles with this before so i try to avoid it).
Oh and yes i was using Automatic.
Anyway i will see if editing the file outside might help first and see how that works. Thanks again for the reply.

Help with displaying image using OpenGL ES sample code - image size prb

I am using some sample code that currently displays an image 256x256 pixels. The code states the image size must be a power of 2. I have tried an image 289x289 (17^2) and it displays a square the same size as the 256x256 with a white background. I want an image 320x320 displayed. Should be obvious for people familiar with OpenGL. Here is the code which displays the image and rotates:
- (void)setupView
// Sets up an array of values to use as the sprite vertices.
const GLfloat spriteVertices[] = {
-0.5f, -0.5f,
0.5f, -0.5f,
-0.5f, 0.5f,
0.5f, 0.5f,
// Sets up an array of values for the texture coordinates.
const GLshort spriteTexcoords[] = {
0, 0,
1, 0,
0, 1,
1, 1,
CGImageRef spriteImage;
CGContextRef spriteContext;
GLubyte *spriteData;
size_t width, height;
// Sets up matrices and transforms for OpenGL ES
glViewport(0, 0, backingWidth, backingHeight);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
glOrthof(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.5f, 1.5f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
// Clears the view with black
//glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glClearColor(255, 255, 255, 1.0f);
// Sets up pointers and enables states needed for using vertex arrays and textures
glVertexPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, spriteVertices);
glEnableClientState(GLVERTEXARRAY);
glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_SHORT, 0, spriteTexcoords);
glEnableClientState(GLTEXTURE_COORDARRAY);
// Creates a Core Graphics image from an image file
spriteImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bottle.png"].CGImage;
// Get the width and height of the image
width = CGImageGetWidth(spriteImage);
height = CGImageGetHeight(spriteImage);
// Texture dimensions must be a power of 2. If you write an application that allows users to supply an image,
// you'll want to add code that checks the dimensions and takes appropriate action if they are not a power of 2.
if(spriteImage) {
// Allocated memory needed for the bitmap context
spriteData = (GLubyte *) malloc(width * height * 4);
// Uses the bitmatp creation function provided by the Core Graphics framework.
spriteContext = CGBitmapContextCreate(spriteData, width, height, 8, width * 4, CGImageGetColorSpace(spriteImage), kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast);
// After you create the context, you can draw the sprite image to the context.
CGContextDrawImage(spriteContext, CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, (CGFloat)width, (CGFloat)height), spriteImage);
// You don't need the context at this point, so you need to release it to avoid memory leaks.
CGContextRelease(spriteContext);
// Use OpenGL ES to generate a name for the texture.
glGenTextures(1, &spriteTexture);
// Bind the texture name.
glBindTexture(GLTEXTURE2D, spriteTexture);
// Speidfy a 2D texture image, provideing the a pointer to the image data in memory
glTexImage2D(GLTEXTURE2D, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GLUNSIGNEDBYTE, spriteData);
// Release the image data
free(spriteData);
// Set the texture parameters to use a minifying filter and a linear filer (weighted average)
glTexParameteri(GLTEXTURE2D, GLTEXTURE_MINFILTER, GL_LINEAR);
// Enable use of the texture
glEnable(GLTEXTURE2D);
// Set a blending function to use
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GLONE_MINUS_SRCALPHA);
// Enable blending
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
// Updates the OpenGL view when the timer fires
- (void)drawView
// Make sure that you are drawing to the current context
[EAGLContext setCurrentContext:context];
glBindFramebufferOES(GLFRAMEBUFFEROES, viewFramebuffer);
glRotatef(direction * 3.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glClear(GLCOLOR_BUFFERBIT);
glDrawArrays(GLTRIANGLESTRIP, 0, 4);
glBindRenderbufferOES(GLRENDERBUFFEROES, viewRenderbuffer);
[context presentRenderbuffer:GLRENDERBUFFEROES];
}

+I am using some sample code that currently displays an image 256x256 pixels. The code states the image size must be a power of 2. I have tried an image 289x289 (17^2)+
The phrase "a power of 2" refers to 2^x so your choices above 256 are 512, 1024 etc.
The texture size has nothing to do with the displayed size - OGL will stretch or shrink your texture to fit the size of the polygon you're displaying it on. I recommend you scale your image to 256x256 and work on make the polygon the size you want and work on your image quality from there.
You can work on the size or orientation of the poly surface to make it larger but OGL doesn't support setting a model to a screen image size or anything like that. That sounds more like a Quartz or CoreGraphics kind of thing if you want to set an exact screen size to the pixel.
HTH,

PS You can display your code correctly by using { code } (without the spaces) on either side of your code block.

New Image Size and Resolution in CC

Hi there.
Ok, maybe i'm missing something, but how do i reduce the ppi's of a given image in the Photoshop CC? Changing it in the image size, in the Resolution field, it acomplish nothing. It logs an entry in the History panel, but nothing changes in the picture. Did Adobe changed how this works, or it's just a bug?
Thank you.

Try setting to real-world measurement, like inches or cm.
Hi Charles, i think that change in cm/mm/in it's the only way to change the image ppi (in my case save/resample it to 108ppi). Can you confirm that this is correct?
Anyway when i go to image size (new panel of CC) the w/h are:
1) grey and always set in pixel with resample flagged.
2) always set in inches with resample NON-flagged (also if my ruler unit is in Pixel).
(and actually that is not new behavior. CS6 behaved same way when width and height were set to percent)
In CS6 and CC i never seen w/h in percent - where is my error?
Many thanks!

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.

How do I set the image size in PS touch to print to my Epson printer w ithout losing any of the picture. PS Touch appears to be showing pixels and not inches, how can I covert it toshow inches?

I am using PS Touch from my tablet . I am importinga photo from an SD card . When all editing is completed I then send it wireless from the tablet via Epson I print to the printer. It all works great except that part of the photo at each end is cut off and does not print. I am printing on 8.5 x11 paper.
How do I convert the image size in PSTouch frm pixels to inches?

Epson's iPrint has always been an oddball. It will always "zoom in" on an image to print even if you have the proper dimensions and resolution set for actual print size. I think other users have reported this, at least on Android.
You can't have PS Touch show inches instead of pixels at this time but you can use an online website to find out what you need to fit within a particular resolution. (Google "pixels to inches calculator".)

Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page lines?

With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
1
check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
2
in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

How can you find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas

This is probably a really really simple question but I can't for the life of me find how I can find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas. eg I have 3 photos i want to arrange 1 large and the other two next to it half the size. How can I edit individual image size on the canvas as when I select the image on a sperate layer I want to resize it just resizes the entire canvas and not the individual image
Thanks

I want to know they exact dimensions though. You can get them by dragging to the 0,0 corner and then reading off of the ruler scale on the sides but its fiddily as you have to zoom right in and work it out. I know in photoshop there is a ruler but is there any other way in Elements?

How to set image size in a table view

Hi,
I've just built a small VC application showing some process chain logs in a table view. For the different status types Error, Warning and Success I show the well-known traffic light icons. But up to now I haven't found out how to set the image size in a table view (height & width field is greyed out for the table). Any ideas? Or is it just not possible?
Thanks for your help,
Heiko

Hello Heiko,
I don't know, if it is possible, but I would say,
it's not implemented yet. Maybe you can change the picture size and use then the pictures, that might be a workaround, if you can't change the height and width in VC.
Best Regards,
Marcel
