Increase resolution in iphoto

How do I increase the resoluition of an image in Iphoto tp 300dpi?  or How do I see what size the image currently is?

your image has no DPI until you display it or print it - DPI is Dots Per Inch - digital images have only dots - inches come for printing or displaying
See <a href="http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html"> The Myth of DPI for additional information.</a>
As to increasing resolution - you can not make a photo better than it is when you take it - you can reduce relsoution but not increase it
as to seeing the size select the photo in iPhoto and click on the info button to open the info window - it shows the size

  • How to increase the image size without losing resolution in iPhoto?

    Dear All
    I have pics i took with my phone which is not an iphone, just little sony ericsson phone.
    Is there a way to increase the image size without losing resolution in iPhoto please? Or cheap 3rd party software or shareware perhaps?
    thank you very much.

    iPhoto has no way to do that. You'll need an external editor for the job. Not all have the capability. I know Photoshop has.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • On 11in Macbook Air (10.10), how do I increase resolution of built-in display to 2560 by 1600 pixels?

    On 11in Macbook Air (10.10), how do I increase resolution of built-in display to 2560 by 1600 pixels?
    It can be accomplished when an external display is connected, so I expect it can be done without an external display.

    You're getting full native resolution 1366 x 768 on your internal display, nothing more.

  • How can I increase resolution when saving file as PDF?

    I am sending some illustrated files to a professional printing press that only accepts PDFs, however they say the resolution is too low and should be 300dpi. How can I increase resolution? Only option I could find was to try to create a new filter in Color Sync by duplicating PDFX3 filter and editing it to the desired resolution, however I couldn't get new filter to save my resolution inputs. Any help is appreciated!

    You really need something like Acrobat which will install a "Save as Adobe PDF" under the PDF menu. You can select press quaility," "high quality print," etc., and get a true high res PDF.
    If you'd like to just give it a shot, try downloading one of the OS X CS6 suites that include Adobe Acrobat Pro for a free 30-day trial. I've never used SketchBook Pro, but Acrobat may help you out.

  • I am using windows vista on a pc.  how do i use photoshop elements to increase resolution to 1920 on longest side without getting distortion

    using windows vista how to use photoshop elements to increase resolution to 1920 on the longest side without distortion?

    When I have the photo onscreen, the only options presented to me under File are Delete, Rename, Make copy, Copy and Properties.  It does not give Save as an option.  Not sure how to save for web.  When I go to Properties, it will not let me change the values at all.  I have tried free downloads for image resizing, but so far I have only found where they would allow me to enter lower pixel values, but not increase them.  For example, one image is now 960 pi/in X 640 pi/in.  I need to double the 960 to be 1920, and so I assume I need to also double the 640 to 1280.  But I have not found how to do that.  I am very inexperienced in any type of photoshopping, so I'm not terribly surprised to be running into problems, or even understanding what the problems are that I'm having.  Any other advice?

  • Change the image resolution through iPhoto

    Does anyone know how to change the image resolution through iPhoto? I know it can be done in other image editing software, but I have yet to find it as an option in iPhoto.

    Hi Rachel,
    There is no option within iPhoto.

  • How can I increase resolution when burning a dvd with elements 11 premiere

    How can I increase resolution when burning a dvd with elements 11 premiere
    I am trying to generate a slide show DVD....the pictures on the TV are poor quality

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve points out, a DVD-Video is set in resolution, to 720 x 480 (for NTSC), in either Standard 4:3, or Widescreen 16:9. That is as good as it can get, and is not a limitation of PrE, but of the DVD-Video specs, which were written a long time ago.
    The best that one can get is to play that DVD-Video on an up-rezzing DVD player, or most BD players, that also have up-rezzing, to an HD TV monitor. Those players have dedicated chips, JUST for up-rezzing.
    Then, and per Peru Bob's questions, I attain the ultimate Still Images to DVD-Video, by doing my Scaling in Photoshop, and using either the Bicubic Sharper, or Bicubic Smoother Scaling algorithms. I Scale my Camera RAW Images to match my Project's Frame Size, and Crop, where necessary to match the Aspect Ratio of my Images, to the Aspect Ratio of the Project, i.e. if going to a 16:9 Widescreen, I will lose some pixels top and bottom, but I account for that, per my asesthetic.
    Note: some PrE users insist that the Scaling in PrE is as good as Photoshop's, but my critical eyes point to using PS. Also, I do NOT use JPEG, which is a lossy, compressed format, and will Save_As PSD from Photoshop, for ultimate quality.
    Good luck, and please let us know the pixel x pixel dimensions of your Images.

  • Default VGA driver can let me increase resolution between '800x600' to '1024X 768'?

    Hi,
    I was told that the initial VGA is an standard,
    800x600 or similar, only gives me the option to show image but not some other possibilities like external display, clone display and those stuffs.
    The specific VGA (FX 5200) driver, give to your rig the "possibility" to address all the image process to an specific device, in this case, the FX 5200 and add some extra functions like external display (at different resolutions),
    clone display, extend display...and those stuffs.
    However, I noticed that while using the default VGA driver, then I could increase 'resolution from '800X600' to 1024x768 Pixels. Also, the 'colour quality' to 32Bit or 16Bit, although it is intial, standard
    VGA, I could change the resolution.
    Thus, my questions are:
    First:  what benefit is there from instlling the driver of the default VGA as long as I can change the screen resolution into '1024X 768' while using default VGA driver, which means that icons, and display would be OK??
    Second:  With using a default VGA driver on
    any Computer, there are only  '800x600' to '1024X 768'? (I.e. The resolution of all default monitor can be only between   800x600 and '1024X 768'?
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

    For best performance and appearance, it's prudent to install the latest video adapter driver available from the
    support web site of the manufacturer of the video chip.

  • Increasing image resolution in iphoto

    How do I increase the resolution of my images in iphoto? I want them to be at 300 dpi instead of 72 dpi. I shoot in jpeg. I don't have a "tools" icon at the top of my screen.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. 300 dpi only comes into play when you want to print the photo. What are the pixel dimensions of your image? Divide them by 300 and you'll get the print size you can achieve at 300 dpi. iPhoto just reports the display resolution which is 72 ppi, pixels per inch.
    If you print the same picture at 8 x 10 and 3x5 you'll get two widely different resolutions.
    You can find out more about that in The Myth of DPI.

  • TS1135 i upload iPhone pics to Shutterfly, which gives me a "low resolution" warning and the prints come out blurry. does anyone know how to increase resolution of iPhone pics?

    i upload iPhone pics to Shutterfly, which gives me a "low resolution" warning and blurry prints. Does anyone know how to enhance resolution/printing quality of iPhone pictures?

    How does iPhoto play a part in this?  You're in the iPhoto forum.  Shouldn't you be asking your question in the iPhone forum?  I'll ask the powers to be to move you question to the iPhone forum.

  • Display Resolution and iPhoto (MBA, Mavericks, iPhoto 9.5.1, etc.)

    I get an error message saying the resolution is not optimal for iPhoto when I select the bottom option (1024 x 640), but the other two options are so small as to be a strain on the eyes.  The bottom control bar is not accessible at that resolution, unless I hit the full screen arrows at the top right.
    The "Best for Display" resolution setting is even worse than scaling.  Fairly puzzled what to do.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Thanks for the response, but it seems unlikely, since my last computer, a 2006 Powerbook G4, had great iPhoto resolution when the display was set at 1024 x 768.
    Any other ideas?

  • I Want to Increase Resolution to Make a Picture Perfect

    Hello, and thank you.
    I am trying to increase the resolution of a picture I found on the internet.  I want to know how to increase the resolution so that the Photoshopped version looks like gold compared to the original.  Can you help me get a high resolution of a picture?  Thank you. 
    So far I've tried "Image," then "Resize," then "Image Size," and changed the Resolution to 300, but nothing in the picture changed.  Of "Scale Styles," "Constrain Proportions," and "Resample Image," the only one I have checked is "Constrain Proportions."  So I don't know what I am missing or overlooking or doing wrong.  But my changes have not produced any changes to the image.  Your help is appreciated.  Thank you.
    Mike

    You wrote: So far I've tried "Image," then "Resize," then "Image Size.
    It sounds like you are using Photoshop ELEMENTS not the full version of Photoshop.
    The Photoshop Elements forum is at: Photoshop Elements
    But the answer will be the same. Photos from the internet simply don't have enough pixel detail.
    Photoshop (any version) can't create more detail out of thin air. It can resample and create more pixels exactly like the original pixels, but it can't magically create new unique pixels that will provide additional detail.
    There is an expression:  GIGO - Garbage In, Garbage Out
    You will never get something that "looks like gold compared to the original".

  • Changing resolution with iPhoto

    I work for a small church and we are running into the issue of our photos not being a high enough resolution for printed materials. Is there a way to check and to change the resolution to at least 300dpi? Many thanks in advance!

    How do you burn the photos to the CD? You should first crop to the size you want printed and then export to a folder on the desktop using the File->Export->File Export with the following settings:
    Type=JPEG
    JPEG Quailty=Maximum
    Size=Full Size
    as seen here. Then burn the folder of files to the CD.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
