Iphoto converting edited photos from 300 dpi to 72 dpi

I edit RAW photos and save as Jpeg The dpi reduces from 300 dpi to 72. I have seen an archived discussion saying basically this does not matter. The size of my photo is 3872x2592 for 2.4mb when edited. Unfortunately a newspaper has refused to print a photo as they will only print at 300 dpi.  I have converted this photo back to 300 dpi using preview but apparently 'blowing up the pixels blurs them?  Is there any way I can edit and still maintain 300 dpi?

Yes you can do tat but it akes NO DIFFERENCE - the newspapr has no idea how digital photography works
see http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html for more details
Simply put no digital file has any DPI (yes there is a DPI field in the EXIF data but it is simply a number and any competent printer simply ignores is since it is meaningless
DPI is dots per inch and therefore can not exist until you have "Inches" - until you print - then DPI is a simple mathmatical calbulation - the dots (pixels) divided by inches (Dots Per Inch)
If you give the newspaper a 3872x2592 file then they can print it up to 12.9066667 Inches x 8.64 inches at 300 DPI (3872/300 x 2592/300)  --  if the print is suppose to be larger than that then you need a higher resolution camera
And although it makes no difference newspapers do not need more than about 120 DPI because of the overall quality of their printing

  • I can't get elements 10 to edit photos from Iphoto?

    I have not been able to edit photos from iphoto in elements 10. When I press the edit key in iphoto the edit program opens in elements10 but no photo to edit appears.
    The Preference selection to Advanced for Editing has elements 10 editor selected. Why is it not accepting the image to edit?

    Are you sure? You are using the PSE file inside the support folder and not the file at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in applications as your external editor? I've never known of any other reason for your photo not to appear in the PSE editor. Does the editor open?
    Usually this happens when you've set the welcome screen to automatically open the editor so that you don't see the welcome screen anymore. Did you ever change that setting in the PSE welcome screen?

  • Transfer edited photos from iPhoto app on my iPad back to the iMac

    Dear all,
    I've edited some photos on my ipad using the iPhoto app and I would like to have them transferred back to my iMac.  Can anyone please show me the required steps?  Thanks.
    Note: I've tried plugging in my ipad to my iMac and opened iPhoto on my iMac but it seemd like I could only transfer non-edited photos from the iPad.
    Million Thanks,
    TMK

    Turn on PhotoStream on your iPad and in iPhoto on your Mac. They will sync to your Mac.
    iPad - Settings > iCloud > photoStream = on.
    Mac > iPhoto > preferences > PhotoStream > enable

  • Editing Photos of 300 Year Old Historical Docs

    I'm trying to edit photos of 300 Year Old Documents using Photoshop Elements 10 and would like guidance on where I may find hints and/or supporting ideas on best ways to accomplish without reinventing the wheel spending hours of trial and error if it exists (and I'm sure it does, I just don't know where to look).  Any thoughts from the experts?

    The goal at this point is only to take the photo made by the archivist and improve the image to allow transcription of the text (which is in French)  so that it can be further transcribed into English.  The documents were in remarkably good condition despite poor storage prior to their photographing.  I basically need only to crop, remove the yellowing and improve the contrasting to allow for transcription.  There will be no artistic transformation for publication/presentation... unless the documents tell a good story.   I can do the basics in PS but was hoping that someone could offer some hints to improve my process.  I'm attaching a few pages in my gallery as an example...  The unedited versions are all similar so hopefully I can set up a standard to edit all as a starting point.  I know an additional question for later.   http://ladnercl/photoshop.com

  • When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder, what happens if I delete the photo in Iphoto ? Will the original file in the folder be deleted too?

    When using Iphoto to import photo from existing folder to iphoto, what happens if:
    1. I delete that photo in iphoto? will the original file in the folder be deleted too ?
    2.  when importing, does the hard disk store 2 versions of the photo, hence occupying additional space in the harddisk?

    1 - no  --  iPhoto only manages fiel within the iPhoto library - it does not ever do anything with files outside the library
    2 - No idea what you are asking - by default (and strongly recommended) iPhoto copies the original to the iPhoto library and you delete the source file outside the iPhoto library - iPhoto alwasy has at least two versions of every photo and some times three - it always have the original, a thumbnail and once a photo is modified a preview - this is not optional - if it is not what you want then iPhoto is not the correct progrtam to be using for phopto management

    I am having a problem when I try to select a photo or itunes song in Imovie or other programs. I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list.  I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

    After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • How do I take an edited photo from lightroom 5 to elements 12?

    How do I take an edited photo from lightroom 5 to elements 12?

      Marsha, you seem to be a bit confused or perhaps uninformed about how Lightroom works. Lightroom should be at the beginning of your workflow. Whether you are working on raw images or JPEG, or whatever, Lightroom is where you should begin. None of the adjustments that you make using Lightroom are applied to the image. They are saved in the catalog progressively as you work on the image. Photoshop Elements sits in a secondary position in the typical workflow. In Lightroom, there is an option to "Edit in", and Photoshop Elements or Photoshop or whatever editor you have chosen will be one of the choices. You go to Elements to do things that cannot be done or can be done more efficiently in the other program. When you have finished making the adjustments in Elements a new copy of the image containing both the Lightroom adjustments and the Elements adjustments will be created, and will be added to the Lightroom catalog.
    If you want an edited copy of your image in Elements than you would want to use the export function in Lightroom to export a copy that would include all adjustments that have been made. A typical workflow would be to maintain your master set of images, including copies created by Elements because of additional editing in that program, and then export JPEG copies suitable for posting on the web, for e-mail, or for sending to a lab to be printed. After those copies that were exported have been used for their intended purpose, they can be deleted, and you only have your master images to maintain in case there are other adjustments or new approaches in the future.

  • Tell iphoto to view photos from a predefined folder and not copy them

    Hi!
    I am using iphoto 09 and was wondering if we can tell iphoto to take photos from a particular folder and not copy the photos in its own set of folders. I don't want to have duplicates.
    I already had structured my folders in a certain way and I don't want Iphoto copying them again.
    tanks!

    Best way of working: Recreate your folders in the iPhoto Window and forget about your own.
    Here's a fuller description of a Referenced Library and the perils thereof:

  • Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

    Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
