Images pasted are really small

Hello,
I'm a newbie in Photoshop, can anybody explain why I open a letter sized file in Photoshop and everything I paste is really (really) small? I paste the same image in a letter sized word document and it occupies almost the entire page.... if I zoom Photoshop to 100% it will display the image "the same size" as in my word document but obviously when I print it I can see the difference in size.... how can I paste in Photoshop an image (it could be from the internet) so when it prints it displays the same size as if I paste it and print it in a word doc? what am I missing? please help this newbie in distress.......

It sounds like you are working with low resolution files and pasting them into print resolution templates.
For example the images you have grabbed online will most likely be 72dpi, and Photoshops letter template will be 300dpi.
A little background reading on image resolution and dpi/ppi via Wikipedia will help you here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch#DPI_or_PPI_in_digital_image_files
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_resolution
If you would like to stretch the image to fit the photoshop template there are a number of ways to do this, the easiest way would be to paste your image, then hit CTRL+T on your keyboard and then while holding the SHIFT key simply grab one of the control points that has appeared on the corner of your image and then drag it.
I think Microsoft Word is simply stretching the image to fit automatically
Hope this helps

Icons/ Buttons and words are really small in Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Hey guys, i just downloaded adobe Premiere Pro CC and ive noticed that all of the words, icons and buttons are really small. After a while of editing my eyes will start to get really tired from straining to see the words. Is there any way i can make the butons/icons/words bigger? Thanks

Same here.
Looks fine for me.
I dont know any way to change it for you sorry... unless a setting in Personalise works.

When using facebook my words are really small so i need to know how i can make them back larger

Somehow I changed the size of my characters only when using facebook, so I would like to know how to change them back to regular size because they are really small. It's only like this when using facebook on firefox because I tried on internet explorer and it's fine.

ctrl-+ is the easiest way (as in, hold down ctrl and press the + key, multiple times if needed). It might be [mac button]-+ on macs, I'm not sure.

Still images importanted are much smaller Why?

Because of the snow storms that have hit the Mid-Atlantic region, I wanted to save some photo images off the Internet and made a 'movie' of them. I saved a couple dozen to a folder on my hard drive, then imported them into Premiere CS3 just as I do with video clips. However, after dragging and dropping them into the Video One track, when I played them I discovered that many of the clips were not full screen in the monitor... they were much smaller with black areas surrounding them. Is this an image size issue and if so, how can I make adjustments? I've attached an example of what I see in my monitor... I appreciate the help.

Yeah, I'd probably have black surround the actual image with a 2" image in a 12" frame. I checked the file size (in KB, using Properties) and found that the images which were too small (and surrounded by a black box) were in the area of less than 60 KB while the ones which were above, say, 120KB seemed too big... Cuz they appeared to be zoomed in on. One image which seemed just right had a size of 90.6KB.
I'll need to go back in to each file and see in the properties report will state the pixel size... Then I'll get back to you.

Some of my photos are really small in iPhoto.

I have several photos all taken by the same camera, on the same settings. But some of the pictures (even from the same day and import) are small and hard to see (and iPhoto says the resolution is 360x270) , while others are ten times that size. It's really annoying because I can't zoom in far enough on the smaller pictures to even see them. They were both imported from the same camera, with the same settings, at the same time. It seems to be random as far as which are big and which are small.

Not unless you still have the library from before you imported a different library into it - do you have that?
Other than that you probably have multiple versions of each photo - you can delete the two smaller ones leaving only the largest one - this must be done using iPhoto

Bridge CS4 image Previews are too small

In Bridge CS4 I cannot get the preview images to display anything larger than a large thumbnail view, see image below. I have tried all of the Preferences in Edit menu (e.g. Thumbnail: do not process files larger than set to 10,000 MB, cache options are keep 100% previews in cache checked/automatically export cache to folders when possible checked/cache size slider is set to 50%, software render has been checked/unchecked/generate monitor size previews checked). None of these options change anything for the size of the image preview. I have a DX10.1 ATI Radeon HD4890 XOC 1GB, so my video card is not the issue. I am running Windows 7 Ult x64 on ASUS P8P67 Deluxe with 16GB RAM and over 2 TB of HDD space. So my system should not be an issue either. These are Sample artwork images that were installed with Illustrator cs4. How do i increase the size of these images?
Also, these images are showing everything in the ai image, not the individual images in each ai file. How do i get it to show the individual images in each AI file like they were separate images, like Illustrator?

Actually, you just solved both of my problems with your question. I never thought about how the images were created/saved.
It turns out that for some reason when i re-save the images as version CS4 of course and all options selected in dialog box now the images act correctly and resize accordingly when the separator is moved and will get quite large as they should.
I also had to use my mouse and select each artboard/image inside the file then re-saved with same settings as above to get multiple images to show up with the buttons at bottom of image in preview mode. Now all is good.
These are the default installed sample artwork images. Not sure why they were like this, may have been some kind of format/process error. Thanks a lot Curt Y.

Pdf's converted to epub in image mode are too small to read on ipad2

I have tried all of the free to sample converters out there. Many allow you to convert a pdf which has multiple columns, pictures, tables, etc. in image (or picture) mode in order to preserve the original formatting. Unfortunately, when viewed in iBooks, each page has a (minimum) 1 inch white margin around it, rendering the page illegible. Is there a way around this or am I stuck with importing the documents as pdf's? I would certainly like to use ePub, especially for the cover art, if at all possible. Thanks.
Ron

Yes I am finding that out. The original format is MS Publisher 2007... which doesn't convert to much of anything (except pdf). When I say (in my original post) that the ePub file is illegible, it is formatted correctly but much too small to read (occupies less than 50% of iPad2 screen) even when double tapped. And of course page turning is not available in this mode. At this point I am not sure if this is a conversion issue or an iBooks issue, but I'm starting to lean toward the latter. Thanks for the reply.

Apps are really small on my ipad

I just got an iPad and sync'd all my iTunes content from my computer, which was used on my iTouch. When I open the apps on my iPad, they don't open to full screen. I tried deleting and redownloading some more "popular" apps like Facebook, but I still have the same problem. How do I correct this, and how can I prevent this from occurring when I download more items in the future??

The apps you have are designed for the iPhone or iPod Touch screen. By touching this 2X on the screen you can enlarge the App but it will appear somewhat pixelated. To avoid this only download Apps which say they are made for the iPad. Sometimes these Apps are the HD versions. Facebook is not an iPad App.

I have CS5 and when I opened up a particular folder in Bridge, I see only a few thumbnails of my images. The rest are this small blue icon. How do I get my thumbnails back?

In bridge on CS5 there is one folder I opened up today and in that folder I can only see a small percentage of thumbnail previews of the images. The rest are this small blue icon. How do I get my thumbnail previews back? If I click on this icon it will open the image up okay in photoshop but I would like to see my thumbnail image to see what picture I am opening up. Can anyone help?

Well ... i purged my cache and the previews came back. Thank you for looking.

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

I've just bought a Macbook Pro 15" and I'm trying to use Photoshop, but the resolution its displaying the images at for 100% are too small. I have to design for the web, so need to be intricate with detail, but I'm finding it adjusts the resolution of the image right down. (I mean you can see the image clearly, but it's too small to edit). When I look at Safari and see a web page at 100% it's clear, but the same page displayed in Photoshop CC appears 50% of the size (even though it says it's 100%) If I move the application window to another screen it adjusts it correctly – leaving all the pallettes, menus and tools correctly sized as they are on the retina display Is there some way to adjust the way Photoshop CC displays images so it is more consistent with what you actually see? There doesn't seem to be any answer on the Adobe forum, so hopefully someone here can shed some light. MacBook Pro with Retina display, 15", OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Photoshop CC 2014

I tested both ways. With "open in low resolution" ckecked the size of the images is cool, but it is low-resolution including Photoshop appearance.
If "open in low resolution" is unckecked the appearance is good but the very small size.
See the image below. It has 650 x 732 px, 72 dpi. The font of the text "Neste aniversário ..." is with 18pt.

Upoading files file images are too small to see on file upload screen

Upon wanting to send photos or files via email when i come to the file upload screen the images are very small and almost impossible to see.this is affecting both safari and firefox.how can i make the images larger so i can see what files i am actually uploading?

Hi,
I am not sure I was clear enough. (EDIT Some testing before finally posting this does show some strangeness)
I was suggesting that in the View Options bit you set the Size to what you want (Before using the Upload site) so that when (and If) you change the View in the Pop Up screen to Icon View the icons are big enough. (See note below though)
List and Column views do show very small Icons that cannot be changed in size, hence the need to use the Icon view and possibly a Naming convention that helps if the pics are very similar like the pic I posted (a whole series of iChat Preferences pics) or possibly deciding before Uploading and creating a sub folder of just the ones to be uploaded.
NOTE:- However I also checked if I set the Icon View in the Finder first to 128 X 128 and then used Google Mail to Add an Attachment the Pop up, view as it were, keeps to the size in the pic I posted.
I will also try Quitting Firefox just in case it is holding some old info.
I will also try Safari
EDIT 2
Tried Safari and the Icons are a default size it seems.
Zoom Only makes the selection (of Pics) window bigger/full screen, hiding the Browser (Alt Key and Zoom reduces it again).
Also tried setting the View Options at the Desktop Level (Have yet to use it as the Default)

Plug it back in and restore it from the backup that is made everytime you sync your phone. iPhone forums are here:

My games on facebook are opening really small...this only happens on firefox

my games on facebook are opening really small.facebok home page is fine,its only when i open farmville etc that it opens very small ..this only started recently
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 2 weeks ago

My screen for the games on Facebook is super small also. This just started for me yesterday. The screen is so small that I am unable to see all of the aspects of each game and can't play them correctly. It's about half the size it should be. I'm not very happy with it either, because it just means that I will have to use chrome instead of firefox, which I prefer, to use Facebook now. If there isn't going to be a quick fix for this, I will just have to delete firefox and go back to using chrome.
