Image Size View

Hi. I am new to CS6 and am still migrating everything over from CS4.
My images do not appear to be 100%. For example, If I create a new document for a custom web banner at
960px/350px The canvas just sems so small. Yes, I am using a macbook pro retina display but if I upload the image to my browser,
it looks like 960x350! The rulers display the correct size but it's just not.
And it doesn't matter what my resolution is set at. It looks almost @ correct if being viewed at 200% but this is driving me crazy as I have
to endure a pixalated view of the image to edit it which seems crazy. I can't see any help answers or forums on this and need help.
Below are the same file @ 100% in PS and then imported @ 100% into fireworks. THANKS!

I am as concerned about this issue and have spent countless hours now, trying to find a way around this since upgrading via Creative Cloud to 13.1.2 x64 yesterday!
It is absolutely frustrating having to zoom to 200% so you are able to view your design work in actual size. I'm so used to Command + 1 as default for 100% Actual Size, but everything appears 50% smaller. We all understand the explanation given about Retina, etc., but now having to change the way you work in PhotoShop?!!
Is there no way things can be altered so default settings compensate?
Please advise urgently.

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

Why can't I view an image in CS6 in the Image Size Box?

Does anyone know what I can do to view an image in the Image Size dialog box in CS6? Tutorials show how it's an improved feature but, I can't view any images in it. My version looks exactly like the old CS5 version with no window to view a photo. Have I changed a setting to disallow this? Any help would be great.

It's Photoshop CC (CS7) that has that feature, not CS6.

Every time I right-click an image in Firefox 3.6.12 to view image size info it says "Unknown (not cached)". Any ideas on why this could be happening and how I can stop it? My OS is Ubuntu 10.10. If you need any more info let me know.

Image size makes for slow viewing

Does iweb reduce the photos inserted from iphoto? Even though I have a broadband connection, when visiting my own site, the page with the thumbnails loads very slowly.
Do I need to resize them first in a separate album in iphoto?
I wish there was an option to set the image size, like you do when exporting from iphoto to email, or web, etc.
thanks.

This issue has been widely discussed in this forum. iWeb uses the PNG format for all but a few images. PNG is an uncompressed format, so that an image that would be, say, 30 KB as a JPEG can be 150 KB or more as a PNG. This is a huge problem and has caused my wife and I to totally drop iWeb because most people viewing our family web site have only dialup connections (rural area). I've read that 60% of the US are still on dialup, though others on this forum have disputed that figure, saying it is more like 40%. Even so, do you REALLY want 40% of your site visitors hitting the back button because it takes too long for your page to load. A simple home page that we created took 5 - 8 minutes to load on dialup.
Please, please leave Feedback here. Apple promises to read all user feedback and take it into consideration for future updates to the program.

When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

You want to view the image at the Print Size, which represents the size that shows in the Image>Resize Dialog.
View>Print Size
Since screen resolution is almost always lower that the print resolution (somewhere between 72 and 96 usually), images will always look bigger on the screen, unless you view them at print size.
(apple Retina displays have a much higher resolution than normal screens, closer to the average print size resolution)

Is there any options/addons for selecting/changing image size when viewing images?

When clicking to open images when on web pages there is no option to select size.
I'm looking at some pages that have images (mostly jpg) I like to compare and that is very hard when all images open in a size that normally fill most of the browser window.
So I wonder if there is some hidden options or addons for selecting image size when opening images for viewing?
I have tried Image resizer/scaler, image zoom and show picture with mix results. Image resizer/scaler and image zoom allow resizing of images, but when opening images on same tab as web page the white image "frame" that is visible when reducing image size is left in original size. This make viewing and opening other pages a hazard.
I'm grateful for any help...cheers :-)

hehe no offense, but I'm not following the version rushing from Mozilla. I'm using many customizations and addons and it is a nightmare to change to a new version and practically impossible to use last version. Also the FIrefox history have shown that earlier versions have both been more stable and had better implementation of features.
Spending hours customizing and finding out that addons dont work with new version every time Firefox come with a new version , no thanks. For that to happen Firefox have to be more compatible across versions and more friendly toward customization in updates and new versions. I have used Firefox for at least 8-9 years with practically no security problems and one thing I have learned is: dont update or install next version if the version I have is working well.
Maybe I should have mentioned this in this question, that Im using v26 and that my FIrefox is heavily modified with addons and customizations.
'''Back to the subject'''
Anyway I dont think any of my customizations or addons should create a white frame behind images, but I'm asking to find out if you guys also get this white frame when resizing pictures to a smaller size after clicking images for viewing.

Image size for 4:3 format appears somewhat zoomed in when viewed on my TV

I am using Final Cut Express HD to create movies and have just started using iDVD '08 to create dvds, and have run across something bothersome in iDVD:
When I view the iDVD movies on my TV that were created in a 4:3 format (640x480 resolution) in Final Cut, the image appears somewhat zoomed in versus what I see on my computer. This is causing problems with the composition of the image as it appears on the TV screen that do not appear when viewing the movie on my computer. Here's how:
When viewd on the TV:
1) the TV image's edge is zoomed in about 5-10% on all four sides relative the image edge as viewed on the computer screen
2) when the scale of an image is reduced over time from 100% to something less (e.g. 50%) based on motion/scale keypoints in the clip's motion tab), the image detail starts zooming out but with the image size still filling the TV screen, then somewhat afterwards, the image size on the TV grows smaller as zooming out progresses.
Overall this disparity between computer screen image size and TV screen image size is causing two miscues with how the movie shows:
a) the composition of the picture is altered because it defaults to being somewhat zoomed in relative to the image I see when creating the movie on my computer, with whatever image I have on the true edge (per the computer screen composition) not appearing on the TV screen and
b) the timing of changes in image SIZE relative to audio or other video cues is thrown off in a way that seems difficult to predict when designing the motion effects in Final Cut.
Any advice on how to fix this?

Hello phdtobe,
what you're experiencing is overscan - a normal phenomenon with CRT monitors - and has nothing to do with neither FCE nor iDVD.
Try using the "Action Safe" setting in FCE's Viewer to see the "crop area".
hope this helps

How to view image size compared to Page size

In previous versions if you clicked the bottom left onthe frame of an image where the document size is you would get a small popup of an outline of the image size compared to the current page size. I cannot figure out how to see this in the new CS4 version. I've tried everything, help!

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.

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 ??

Spry Photo Gallery Image Size via CSS

Hello!
I´ve been customizing the spry photo gallery for a couple of time, but got my little problem when viewing it on a mobile phone. When you load up the pictures with a size of 450 x 300 px for example, put up the right xml file with it´s width and height, so the gallery shows the pictures in that size. So what I want to do is that you can specify the image size with css depending on the device you´re watching the site with. There is div in the css called "mainImage" where the size is in %. When you change it to 75% for example. The pictures are correctly shown with 75% of it´s original size, but the outline (grey background) is still in 100%. When you make this grey background transparent it´s still there and moves the caption down. I guess there have to be done some changes within the SpryImageViewer.js, but I just know very little things about JavaScript. Do you have any clues how to change this to specify the image size via CSS?
Thank you for your help!!!
Kind regards,
Joerg

I see you are still using Spry 1.5. Have you considered upgrading to
Spry 1.6.1?
Also your XML is broken, if you open up your xml in a normal standards
complaint browser such as firefox, you will see that it doesn't render
a normal tree view as it would do with other xml files. So i suggest
checking those errors out.
Its mainly because you forgot to close your starting tag of the
gallerys node. (<gallery
base = ""
background = "#FFFFFF"
banner = "#F0F0F0"
text = "#000000"
link = "#0000FF"
alink = "#FF0000"
vlink = "#800080"
before your xml starts.

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

Image size and dimensions in Safari

Is there a fast method of viewing image size and dimentions in Safari? I can open image in new tab and see its width and height in tab/window name. I can save image to the Desktop and see file size but it's not convenient. Is there some another way without opening an saving image somewhere like Control+click -> Properties?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Pat,
You don't need to set the image size as such. The image prints on the page according to two sets of criteria:
1. Whether you set dpi to custom or a specific value, and
2. The page margins you set either as a printing once-off, or as a new printing pre-set.
For example, I print "arty" photos in a portrait format on A4 matte paper. Left and right margins are around 3cm, top margin is around 3cm, bottom margin is around 5 cm (all numbers are from memory...). I have a title just below the image.
I created this particular page setup for a certain photo and liked it so much I saved it as another print preset. Any photo I print using that preset fits within the margins defined. The very next print might be the same photo, but this time printing A3+ on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl. Choose the photo, select the relevant print pre-set, print. Re-sizing is irrelevant - the print in both cases is coming from the processed raw at maximum resolution.

Calx

How do you change the image size and resolution in photoshop everytime I change the width the height changes my measurements will not stay

Can someone assist me with changing image size and resolution. each time I change the width the height changes and vice/versa?

There's a chain link between width and height. The point is to keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise your picture would get stretched.
You click on the chain-link to shut that off and you can adjust width and height separately.
Also could you give us your version of Photoshop, what OS you are running it on (Windows 7 for example) and what exactly you want to do with your document?
Resolution is the print term for how many pixels will be printed on an inch of paper. It doesn't apply if your image is intended for screen viewing.

Reduce image size and print it out?

I scanned an image (coloring on a postcard). This size is too big to fit into a 'album' picture in MS Picture It! All I want to do is REDUCE the image and save it so that it will fit into the computer photo album I'm creating.
I've tried Image/Resize/Image Size and changed the sizing, but it still comes out the exact same size as the original. What am I doing wrong?

> I want to REDUCE the image, not enlarge it.
I understood that - what makes you think I didn't?
> It's 948x645 pixels. I just want the image about an inch (respectively) smaller
You can't think in terms of inches for screen images. You have to work in pixels and the actual size will depend upon the screen resolution on the machine being used to view the image.
I'd reduce the pixel size by about 80 to get the effect that you want. Use Image/Resize/Image Size and make sure that you have "Resample" checked.
