Images in Tilelist not actual size
I am pulling urls from my database and having them and a
small caption populate a tilelist. The images vary in size and I am
wanting them to show up their actual size and will have 1 row in
the TileList and just scroll horizontally to view the images
inline.
However, when I use my custom itemrenderer I cannot seem to
get it to appear actual size, instead it creates scrollbars and a
fixed size as you can see in the photo below.
Example
Any help with either situation is appreciated.
Here is some relevant code
// Custom Renderer
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!-- Custom Renderer -->
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Image id="image" source="{data.source}" />
<mx:Label text="{data.name}" y="275" fontSize="16"
horizontalCenter="0"/>
</mx:Canvas>
//// Tile List
<mx:TileList
dataProvider="{photoList.lastResult.images.image}"
itemRenderer="Thumbnail" y="41" x="0" width="100%" height="90%"
variableRowHeight="true"></mx:TileList>
Thanks, but that's not it I'm afraid. Here's what I mean. The image on the right is the actual size, as opened up in a web page. The image on the left is how Preview displays it when the file is opened. And hitting ⌘-0 doesn't change the size, only zooming does.

Bug in Acrobat Reader 8 & 9? "Actual size" not actual size
When I choose to view a PDF in "actual size" using Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 or 9, it is NOT actual size. Under Acrobat Reader 7, it WAS actual size.
For example, if I go to the properties of the document and find out that it is supposed to be an 8.5 x 11 document, the document on screen is not 8.5 x 11.
This used to work under Acrobat 7, but doesn't work under Acrobat 8 or 9. It used to be that you could hold an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper up to your monitor and the size of the image on screen was exactly 8.5 x 11, but now if I do the same thing, the size on the monitor does not match the actual size of the paper.
Is this a bug or something else?The screen size is 17" and the current resolution is 1024 x 1280 (it is in "portrait" mode), but it happens at every resolution I've tested.

HT2506 Viewing images in Preview at actual size
Why does Preview open an image and display it in a size much smaller than the actual size?
The default is marked as "Actual Size" in the View menu, but it's much smaller than actual size. Nothing in Preferences changes this.
(I've never had a problem with this on my older Macs.)
Thank you!Thanks, but that's not it I'm afraid. Here's what I mean. The image on the right is the actual size, as opened up in a web page. The image on the left is how Preview displays it when the file is opened. And hitting ⌘-0 doesn't change the size, only zooming does.

For example:
If I drop a photo right on the edge of of my page in i-web, and then publish it to 'local folder' and view it, the photo appears some distance away from the edge.
How do i get a true view of my page on i-web ?

"actual size" does not display as actual size
If I open a document with "preview", and choose "dispay>actual size", the document will be displayed exactly at the actual size. For instance, an A4 document will be displayed exactly as large as an A4 size piece of paper. I checked by actually laying an A4 on the screen: they aligned perfectly. It appears that this program is aware of the pixel size or amount of Pixels Per Inch of my screen.
However, any other program I use to create documents, doesn't display "actual size" or "100%" properly.
Both iWork and Microsoft Office programs display documents way smaller than the actual size when set to 100%. Its is more like 50% to 60% of the actual size. Adobe acrobat displays at about 75% of the actual size. It seems that these programs base the display size on a preset pixel size or amount of Pixels Per Inch, that does not necessarily correspond with the pixel size of the screen. Since I have relatively small pixels, the documents are displayed very small.
*Is there any way that I can configure my OS or these programs in such a way that they will display "actual size" properly?*
I figure that if "preview" can do it, other Apple programs, like iWork, should be able to do the same.
Thanks for your help!The terms "actual size" and "100%" are misnomers. To give an example, if you open an image in Preview and choose "actual size", it will display your image at 1 pixel on the screen per 1 pixel of image. The size of the image you see on your screen will be different depending on the resolution and size of your screen. It does not vary with the resolution of your printer or the dimensions of the paper you have chosen or any other printer settings. The size you see on the screen has nothing to do with the size of your printout. "Actual size" is not really "actual size", as you have discovered.
Turn on the rulers that are built into Pages. They are not "actual size" either but they'll show what the size will be for the paper size you have chosen.

How to view image at actual size?
I am confused by the Fireworks (CS3) image size settings. I set the canvas size at 3 inches by 3 inches, but when I measure the image on the screen with a ruler, it measures only about 2 inches across, even though the magnification setting is set at 100%. What does the size setting mean? Will the image be 3 inches wide when it is printed? How can I get the image to display at actual size?
As for ease of use, I really think it comes down to what you're used to and what makes you the most comfortable.
I personally find Illustrator much more intuitive when it comes to things like the pen tool and vector editing, and options such as Live Color and Live Paint are likewise extremely useful. However, each piece of software has its own strengths and weaknesses, and if you can use the right tool for the right situation, I think you're in a good place
As for the "set relationship" between print size and pixel size, like I said, the fundamental problem is that the "pixel" is a relative unit of measurement, primarily intended for screen output. We've already established that the 3" x 3" canvas displays at different dimensions on your monitor than it does on mine. This could be because of your display resolution setting, your monitor size, and even the physical size of the "pixel" itself on your monitor. So already we are facing problem number one—trying to determine the physical size of a non-tangible element on the screen—before we even hit the printer settings.
If you are only going to print on one printer at your home or office, and you are always going to be using the same monitor and screen resolution, you can probably work out some kind of mathematical relationship between what you see on screen and what you print. However, once you start working at higher canvas resolutions in Fireworks (to display photographic content more crisply, for instance), all of that will go out of the window. The question is whether you want to do math every time you create a canvas or draw an object.
The other issue with using Fireworks to created printed material is that Fireworks is an RGB-based program, whereas the print medium generally works with CMYK. The result is that you may find some discrepancies between the colors you see on screen vs. what you see coming out of the printer.
There are a lot of advantages to using dedicated vector-based programs for print, and Illustrator is a decent program that allows a lot of flexibility for creating work that can be used in print and on the web. However, if you still want to use Fireworks for print, keep in mind that there are some hurdles you may need to overcome that may give you some headaches in the long run. Then again, it depends on what kind of output you expect to see coming out of that printer, and whether you're ultimately happy with what you see.

Scale an image to actual size?
I often use the Crop Tool to get part of an image to print at actual size.
For example, Crop: Width 7cm @ Resolution 600 pixels/inch (same as my
printer), then select a known width of 7cm then crop and print.
I figure there must be a way without actually cropping the image, perhaps by selecting the known dimension.
I could do the math myself, but I figure Photoshop CS4 can do it for me.
Any suggestions?Nigel: Here is a method that may work for you.
(1) Since you have PSCS4, you are able to convert your image to a
smart object.
(2) Create a layer mask that corresponds to the physical size you
would want the known object to print at. E.g., your known object
(the coin) is 20.3mm wide, so you create a rectangular marquee
that is 20.3mm wide:
(a) Create an arbitrary sized rectangular marquee, then use
Select->Transform Selection and enter the desired height and
width into the object bar (e.g., 20.3mm <tab> 20.3mm) and
commit. It doesn't matter where in the image you make this;
all that matters is that you have a 20.3x20.3mm marquee.
(b) Turn this marquee into a mask by clicking on the masks panel
and then the icon second from the right. Unlock the mask
from the smart object by clicking on the chain icon.
(3) Use this layer mask to calibrate the image against the known
object:
(a) Click on the smart object icon in the layer, then use
Edit->Transform (with the aspect ratio locked) to move the
known object (coin) into the mask and scale it so it just
barely fits into its width.
(b) Your smart object is now scaled properly in Photoshop. You
should now delete (or disable) the layer mask, which is no
longer needed.
(4) Use the Move tool, if necessary, and the Rectangular Marquee tool
to select the area of the image to be printed.
(5) In the Print dialog, set scale to 100%. Don't use borderless
printing, which typically reduces the printing scale slightly. -

Any suggestions on problem I have. I receive images, say a file that is 3 mgs through email on Safari mail and when I try to resend it or forward it or any other larger file, when it sends the file is reduced by about 1/3. My screen does not show and drop down menu with a feature to keep actual size or reduce that is suggested when I looked up solutions to the problem. I can't find a setting anywhere in mail that I can change to make sure my files are kept at actual size. I figure a setting got changed -don't know how - but it happened about a month ago. Caused problems as I work in graphics can't send files to clients as they come out too small. Any suggestions on how to fix.
ThanksWhat email program are you using? And what do you mean by "Safari mail"?

Scanning actual size hi res images
I am cross-posting this message since I'm not really sure where I should post it.
I recently switched from a PC to the macbook pro and am using an HP photosmart C7100 series scanner. I cannot figure out how to scan images at actual size using this scanner and the macbook. (I had no problem doing it on the PC with the same scanner.) I have it set to scan to iPhoto.
What I actually need to do is insert scanned images at actual size into word docs. When I try inserting these scans from iPhoto into Word-- they are much larger than the original. I have tried changing scale and resolution settings and at one point was able to get the image the right size-- but the resolution was terrible. I really need a hi resolution but actual size. (Just for a little more info, I know it is possible to size the image down in Word- but for what I am doing, I absolutely need the image to be the exact size it really is- and these are not standard size images, so resizing in Word has not been an easy task.)
I have tried everything I can think of with the scanner and iPhoto. I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any tips?
Thanks so much.
lanalana:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. What resolution are you scanning at and what do you mean by actual size? Actual size is relative. A 4x6 photo scanned at 300 dpi will display much bigger on screen than a 4x7 photo scanned at 72 dpi. Both are 4x6 if you print them at their scanned resolution. If I were to scan a 4x6 photo at 72 dpi it will show "actual size" on the monitor since most monitors are at 72 - 90 dpi in resolution. However it will not print very well at 4x6 since there are only 72 pixels per inch in the photo. The more pixels in a photo the better it will print. I scan all of my prints at 300 dpi.
In Word you can resize the photo exactly by double clicking on the photo and entering the dimensions in the Size section of the Format Picture box that comes up. Otherwise you'll be sacrificing print quality.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
Scanning actual size, hi resolution images

Thanks so much.
lanaWelcome to the Forums!
One tip might be to try Applications > Image Capture instead of iPhoto. IC allows full control over resolution, etc. I've never scanned to iPhoto, so if that allows full control as well then this tip won't helps.
However, I think this is an issue with how MS Office on the Mac handles images.
On my MBP, when I take a pic from a 4 megapixel digital camera (2288x1712 pixels) and insert that into a Word document (Insert menu > Picture > From File), then copy it, switch to Photoshop and create a new document based on the clipboard size, what I get is not the original pixel dimensions, and the size changes depending on how I scale the pic in Word. On the other hand, when I move the same image to my PC laptop and do the exact same thing, in Photoshop I get a 2288x1712 blank file in Photoshop no matter what I do to the image in Word.
So, unfortunately you may be stuck, unless someone else can offer a better suggestion. Word is really not the app of choice for desktop publishing, image manipulation, etc., but it's unfortunate that the switch impacted you in this way.
One possibility, assuming you still have your licenses for Windows and MS Office - use BootCamp to run them on your MBP. Clearly not an elegant solution.
If you can stand something of a learning curve, you might consider Mac desktop publishing software, something like the free, open source scribus, or Adobe InDesign.
Hope this helps... -
Specify image size on images that have not been uploaded to APEX
Hello,
I’m an APEX newbie and have written an Employee Directory application in Apex 4.0.2 which allows the user to click an icon on an interactive report to see a photo of the employee on a new screen. The images have not been uploaded to APEX. Picture sizes range from 250x375, 275x275, 455x455, with several other variations of width and height. Clicking the icon does work, in that the photo is displayed. The problem is that the photos are displayed in APEX based on their size, so that the employee whose picture is 455x455 takes up 25% of the screen, whereas the 275x275 picture takes up far less space on the screen. How can I specify that these images should all display as a specific size?
The URL specified in the Column Link section is https://prod.edu:8099/wtlgifs/ocp/#EMPDIR_ID#.jpg, where #EMPDIR_ID# contains the 9-digit ID number associated with a given employee. For example, https://prod.edu:8099/wtlgifs/ocp/123456789.jpg is the URL for the picture of employee 123456789.

"click an icon"—What kind of icon? A thumbnail of the photo? The default IR detail view icon?
The URL specified in the Column Link section is https://prod.edu:8099/wtlgifs/ocp/#EMPDIR_ID#.jpg, where #EMPDIR_ID# contains the 9-digit ID number associated with a given employee. For example, https://prod.edu:8099/wtlgifs/ocp/123456789.jpg is the URL for the picture of employee 123456789.
So does this link just switch the browser location to that of the photo (i.e. after clicking the link the address bar contains <tt>https://prod.edu:8099/wtlgifs/ocp/123456789.jpg</tt>)? If so the photo is not "displayed in APEX based on their size": the browser is simply displaying the photo natively at its actual size. There's nothing you can do to modify this.
To get any control over the photo size you need a different approach, using the IR column link to show either the interactive report or another APEX page.
If I'm misinterpreting this then you're advised to recreate this aspect of the app on apex.oracle.com to give a clearer picture of what's involved. -
Preview not showing in actual size
When you open a group of images, select them all and make Preview open them in Actual size (Why oh why is there not a setting for this - to open all images in actual size!?), why is it that when scrolling between them using gestures just makes Preview show the image resized yet again?

Interesting...I don't recall seeing that pref in the past. I'm using v8.1.6 and it is there. "System setting" is 99 px/inch. And here all these years I thought my Macs were 72 px/inch but Acrobat believes it to be 99. Which also explains why at 75% they looked closer to actual size.
I changed that setting to 72 and it display perfectly. But, as you said, that setting on someone else's system is beyond my control.
Seems pretty screwy that Acrobat itself drives how a user sees a document rather then the document delivering it's actual dims/resolution. I'm simply surprised that I've not known this all this time.
It depends upon the resolution of the monitor used and the Graphics Card used in your system.
Usually it would be 72. but for example above in the Screen shot I showed my PowerBook 17" does infact use 98DPI.
I don't know whether you noticed the drop down box for Zoom level All I have shown is fit to Page but there is also fit to width along with percentages going all the way up to 200%.
If you want you can set back to 99 and change the zoom level you normally see when openning a file. -
Hello,
I am brand new to any Photoshop program, and am trying to design in Elements 10, that came with a printer I recently purchased.
I created a new file and set it with a white background, 300 pixel/inch (default?), and at 10.625 inches wide and 7.375 inches in height.
When working, I enable the rulers, and can see that indeed, the file is at the above dimensions. However, when I go to print and select to print at the actual size, it always comes out of the printer at 10.25 inches wide. The height is always fine, exactly as I have specified. But the width is always too short by the same amount. I have attempted to print at a custom size instead of actual size, and then set the custom dimensions to my desired W and H. Same result. The height is fine, the width is 10.25 inches.
As I noted, I am new to all of this! I am sure there must be any easy fix . . . something I just don't understand. Please help!
As a few extra details, just in case it matters, I am using a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.8 and the printer is an Epson 1430 Artisan. The printer drivers should be completely updated, as I just went through all that on the phone with them last weekend when the Epson had trouble communicating with the MacBook Pro.
Thank you in advance for any help!

EDIT: I even increased the size of the project under image > resize to a full 11 inches. It still will only print to 10.25 inches.Thank you, hatstead.
Indeed it was a printer issue, not an Elements 10 issue. The printer will print borderless at 8.5x11, but I was unfamiliar with the settings. Thanks! -
Can't choose what part of image to print when printing actual size.
I have a pdf file that needs to be printed out to actual size, since the image is a temlate for a part that I need to cut out. Since the actual size is bigger than the paper size, it shows a purple box in the preview box, indicating what part of the document it's going to print. The first time I printed the image, it let me slide the box or the slider below, left to right to select what part of the document on wanted on the paper. But, now it's just locked in place. I'm not sure what changed. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Adobe Reader XI. Printer is a Canon MP495.Francine, thank you so much for the tips. It took me over two months but I finally got around to trying to take care of this.
I tried your suggestions in order. Steps 1-3 did not fix the problem, but reinstalling from Pacifist did (thank goodness!). Wish I had tried that from the get-go.
Thanks again to everyone for all the suggestions.
There are a couple of things to try:
1. If you haven't done so lately, try Disk Utility
and Repair Permissions. Won't hurt, it's quick and
easy, and there is a remote possibility that it will
help. It actually does occasionally fix something
strange like this.
2. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and
download the COMBO 10.4.8 updater (it is huge, like
148MBs) and run it, then Repair Permissions again.
3. Restart and hold down the Shift key when you hear
the startup chime. This will force the computer to do
a Safe boot. When you see the splash screen saying
"Safe Mode" release the Shift key. The boot will take
longer than normal as the system repairs the disk,
empties font caches, and disables startup items. Not
sure if Image Capture will run correctly with some
Apple startup items disabled, but you can try it.
Restart normally afterwards.
4. You can download Pacifist here:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
It will extract things from your Install disk so you
can install only what you need, in your case Image
Capture.
My Image Capture has never had a problem, so I'm
afraid all I can recommend is these general
approaches. Hope one of them helps.
