IPhone photo resolution . . .

When I take a photo with my iPhone 4S, which has an 8mp camera, and open it in Photoshop, the resolution is set a 72ppi. How do I get the photo into Photoshop at a resolution which will allow me to print it?
I hope this is the proper way to ask this question.

Photoshop is assigning a default resolution of 72 because the iPhone (and any other camera) does not define resolution as PPI.
If you are printing to an ink jet printer, set the PPI to ~150 to ~200 with no resampling to see how large you might print.
If you are printing to a laser printer or offset press, set the PPI to ~300 with no resampling to see how large you might print.

What is the iphone photo resolution

When my friend loads pictures from his iPhone to his PC the resolution is poor. How does he insure that he get the maximum resolution on his PC?
Thanks,
Rookie

That depends on what model iPhone he has. The iPhone 4 is 5 megapixels. If you use zoom, you necessarily reduce the resolution as it's strictly digital zoom.

After changing contact photo on iPhone, photo no longer shows up in outlook

I had my contact photos all setup on my iphone, and syncing correctly with iTunes and showing up correctly in Outlook 2007. The photos are stored on the iPhone, and set either by selecting the photo and doing "Assign to Contact", or in Contacts, Edit, Edit (the picture) and "Choose Photo". They would show up as a thumbnail in the Outlook 2007 Business Card view, and also in the detail when you double-click a contact. This part of the process hasn't changed.
What has changed is iOS4. Now, when I go in and change a contact's photo on the iPhone, it no longer shows up correctly in Outlook 2007. It shows a blank space when showing the Business card view, but shows the photo correctly in the detail if I double-click a contact. Even if I change it back to the photo that it was, it still won't show correctly in Outlook 2007 Business Card view.
Contacts whose photos I haven't changed since iOS4 show correctly in both places in Outlook 2007.
Anyone else seeing this or have a fix?

Hi!
I'm having the same troubles and after searching for a while i found
the following solution:
In short (from http://gyoo.com/blog/?p=48)
First, some figures:
iPhone camera resolution: 1600×1200 (72dpi)
iPhone screen resolution: 320×480 (160dpi)
iPhone contact picture display size: 64×64 (160dpi)
iPhone contact picture display size on call: 320×270 (160dpi)
Outlook import resolution: 72×96 (72dpi)
- On your PC, resize the image contact to 320×320 (160dpi),
knowing that 25 pixels on the top and bottom will be semi-transparent when on call.
- On your PC, create a folder iPhone Photos\Contacts and move your contact photos inside Sync the photos into your iPhone with iTunes through the Photos tab.
- Select the iPhone Photos folder as source.
- Manually associated the photo to your contact on the iPhone
(Edit ->Add Photo->Choose Existing Photo)
- Sync back the iPhone with iTunes.
The photos will be associated automatically into Outlook with the good resolution this time.
Regards

Why are some of my iphone photos resizing when i import them to iphoto?

although most of the photos from my iphone import to iphoto at 2592 x 1936 for a regular iphone photo and 1936 x 1936 for an instagram photo, for some unbeknowst reason, some of the pictures come out as 640 x 480 / 480 x 480... i have no idea why, i haven't done anything different as far as i know?
anyone have any idea what causes it and how i can stop it? also is there any way to get them back to the proper size because i usually delete the pictures straight off my phone once i've imported them.
thanks x

Not positive what is causing this but I'm pretty sure it is not caused by the iPhoto import process. The import process from a digital camera, camera storage card, or from an iPhone or iOS device does not change the size/dimension/resolution of photos being imported.

Iphone photo library to macbook.

i cant seem to get photos off my iphone, to my macbook. i can get the camera roll ones off, theres like 14 of them, but my photo library, theres like 315, from a france trip, and theyre not on my macbook, and id like to have them there as well. any help is appreciated!

The only pics that you can take off of the iphone are the ones taken with the iphone.
Since the iphone is not designed as storage for photos ( just a mirror of the selected albums on your computer), you cannot take other pictures off of the iphone.
There may be 3rd party software that may allow this. However, since the iphone optimizes resolution/file size for iphone viewing, the pictures would be in lower resolution than the original.

IPhone photo sharing invitation cannot be made

iPhone photo sharing invitation cannot be made
with iPhone 6, latest iOS

Hey Vivian Su,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues sending iCloud Photo Sharing invitations. The following resource may provide some insight into your issue, along with a potential resolution:
Get help using iCloud Photo Sharing and shared albums - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201077
I sent email invitations to my shared album, but not everyone received one.
Try these steps:
Ask the invitees to check their junk or spam email folders for the invitation.
Send the invitation again. An invitee might not get the message if their mailbox is full, or if there's a filter that prevented the invite from being delivered.
If they didn't get the invitation, ask the invitee for another email address that you can send the invitation to. If you're using iOS 7 or later, you can also send the invitation to the phone number that they use for iMessages.
Ask the invitee if they've ever received an invitation, and if they might have unsubscribed from iCloud Photo Sharing emails. They can use the steps below to get email invitations again.
If they still don't get the invite, contact Apple Support for help.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPhone photos slideshow transition setting..

iPhone photos slideshow transition setting has 5 options (e.g. cube, dissolve, etc.).
I hooked up iPhone to my TV to watch the photos and the setting doesn't seem to do
anything. Am I missing something?

I just compared my iPod classic to the iPhone and just now realized how limited the transition selection is! And, it's not the same for the classic and the iPhone (no ripple or cube on the classic).
Anyway, I see the same thing here with the ADDED issue that some of the images don't display at a high resolution while playing, but if I go back and display one by one, they do. The classic DOES display the same as what would display on the screen, but it's transitions are simple by comparison.
Wonder when we'll see these again.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

Add To iPhoto in Mail fails for iPhone photos sent in multiple emails

Someone takes six photos with an iPhone and emails them to you.
You get 6 emails. Each one has a photo.jpg image attached.
You click the SAVE pop-down menu in the Mail message and choose Save To iPhoto. The photo is imported into iPhoto. You delete that email and do the same thing with the second email with the second photo...
BUT, somewhere the Mail-iPhoto smartness turns dumb, as the rest of the photos will not show up in iPhoto. (This may have something to do with the fact that the iPhone sends each photo with the attachment name of photo.jpg and somehow Mail or iPhoto think that photo has already been added to iPhoto).
I was having this problem with photos emailed to me by iPhone users and tested it myself.
Sure enough, after the first photo.jpg attachment is imported all subsequent Add To iPhoto operations of iPhone sent images fail... even if the photos have been sent from separate iPhones from separate email addresses.
All the attachments are kept by Mail in uniquely numbered folders in the attachments folder of my receiving email account in Library/Mail but since each attachments is named photo.jpg that seems to throw off iPhoto OR Mail (because even the quick progress update of "Adding photo to iPhoto" does not show up on these attempts).
I checked if quitting and restarting Mail fixed allowed the second photo to be added to iPhoto but it did not. Quitting iPhoto after EACH import/Add To iPhoto operation allowed each photo to be added into iPhoto.
This may have to do with the iPhoto bugs handling large libraries (I have 19000 images in it) like the spinning wheel of Names window after imports, etc.
Just sharing if others have the same experience sending 3 iPhone photos by email to themselves and seeing if all can be added to iPhoto from Mail. Thanks.
Imran

Yes it is a bug
Report to apple. iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
You can work around BR saving to the desktop and importing or opening in quick view, expanding to full screen and saving to iPhoto

Universal Dock's remote doesn't work with iPhone Photos

Has anyone tried Universal Dock's remote with iPhone Photos? I can't get it to work.
The remote does work with iPhone music and video though.

i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

How can I get the 928 photos in my IPhone Photo Library onto my Powerbook?

I'm new to IPhone but I've had a powerbook for forever. I just went to my niece's wedding in France and dropped and copied 928 photos onto my IPhone from her IMac. In Itunes, the horizontal bar at the bottom shows that that 598 MB are taken up with 928 photos and I would like to move these photos onto the external harddrive hooked up to my powerbook. The 928 photos do not show up in Itunes in the photos folder. The IPhone does not show up in IPhoto unless I take a photo with the IPhone camera. Is there no way I can move these files from the phone to my Mac? I have read in the discussion group that the IPhone is not a storage device but I didn't know that when I moved the photos onto it. I had just bought it.
Can you help me? Is there an app for that?
merci buckets,
Wendy

I did see that I can email the photos but I couldn't figure out how to select more than a couple at a time and there are 928 photos @ nearly 600 MB. So this isn't a workable solution though I have already usedit to email 1 or 2 from the bunch.
If I could figure out how to select like 100 at a time I could upload them to MobileMe and sync from there but I can't figure out how to select many at once from the IPhone photo app. Is there a way to do this?

PNG files sent to iphone Photo App do not appear on 'date taken' (manually added in windows explorer)

I have over 1000 PNG files that do not have exif 'date taken'. They only have exif 'date created or modified'
The 'date created/modified' is not the actual date that I took the screen shots.
I added the 'date taken' manually in windows explorer. However, it seems that this does not write this data into the exif 'date taken' which remains blank.
When I transfer the PNG file from the PC to IPhone Photo App, it does not appear on the 'date taken' (that I added manually) but appears on the exif 'date created or modified'.
Interestingly, when I do same as above but with JPG file, it does show up correctly based on the 'date taken' (that I added manually in windows explorer).
So I converted the PNG file to JPG using one of the online tools. However, when I do this, the converted file does not retain the 'date taken'.
I can fix the above by:
1. Use Paint to save the PNG file as JPG; this retains the 'date taken' but this is not the solution I am looking for as I would need to do this for each file (there is no bulk 'save as' in Paint)
2. Use a file conversion tool to bulk convert from PNG to JPG; but again this is not solution, as I would have to manually add the 'date taken' in windows explorer to each JPG file
Alternatively, I tried to rename the file name to include the 'date taken' and then use an exif date changer app to set the xhif dates based on file name.
However, I was not able to find any software that would allow me to do this. The software that I have seen only picks up the 'date taken' from file EXIF data. But in my case there is no such data in the file - only the 'date taken' that I manually added in Windows Explorer.
Any advice is appreciated. All I want to do is transfer PNG files from PC to Iphone Photo app and have these files appear in Photo app based on the 'date taken' (the one I manually added in windows - not the date taken in exif data).

Have you touched the "More" button (on the iPhone).
then gone to Audio Books.
Are they there?
I had an audio book still on my iphone, it survivedf the iOS5 update.
To get rid of it, I plugged iPhone into Mac,
Go to itunes.
Click on Iphone in iTunes.
Go to Books tab,
Scroll down, there is audio books.
Choose sync selected audio books,
And untick the ones I don;t want.
Dows this work for you?
