LR 1.2 wont export at 300 dpi

Although I'm setting the LR 1.2 export dpi preference to 300 dpi the photos open in PS3 at 72 dpi. I'm running an intel mac os 10.5.10
thanks

This should be a FAQ. ANyway, uncheck the minimize metadata on export checkbox and the resolution flag (which is completely useless but some clients apparently have an unhealthy attachment to it) will get written.

Batch export as jpg 300 dpi

I've 2,000 fla files published as swf and jpg (72 dpi).
I now want 2,000 high quality jpg 300 dpi files. Instead of exporting each file individually, is it possible to batch export all fla files in a directory? I found an actionscript plus php file on the internet but unfortunately it generated an error message instead of jpg files.

No use Moccamaximum, that Link PUBLISHES and uses existing parameters. Publishing a jpg always uses 72dpi so if the original publish settings for a filehad jpg selected, I'd get the same file as publshed previously. I want to EXPORT th fla as a jpg at higher resolution (300dpi), I can open each fla individually and export at 300 dpi but it would be far easier if I could put the 2,000 files in a directory and export with a single click.

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s? And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s?
And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.
I have been using the standard camera on the iPhone and require 300 dpi to create photo books as the photos are resized according the layout.
Your time and assistance in appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Tonefox!
After looking at a few of the links I found a mathematical equation that assisted me.
Inches = Pixels/DPI
eg: 3 inches = 300 pixels/100 DPI
Using this equation and the fact that iPhone 4s takes photos that are 3264 x 2448 I was able to work out the largest print I could make with 300 DPI.
Width 3264 pix/ 300 DPI = 10.88 inches
Height 2448 pix/ 300 DPI = 8.16 inches
Therefore, the largest print (with 300DPI) I can make of these photos is 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches.
Which is great!
So is it critical for me to change the dpi in say photoshop or does it not matter as long as I don't go above the 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches?
From what I can gather the smaller I resize the photo the higher the DPI and the bigger I stretch the photo the lower the DPI?
Further clarification will be much appreciated. Thanks

Why jpeg file exported from Aperture with 300 dpi's it opens with 72 dpi's on PS ( image size)? I've tried several combinations and all give different results. And I am confused on what is the best workflow for me.

Ok.
My workflow is
RAW > Aperture Library > export jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > one file on PS > edit > Save us jpeg. The I realised that files from PS were being save in a smaller size from the ones exported form Aperture. That is when I went o see <image size> on PS and files were with 72.
Since ten I've trying different things
1. Aperture > export as PSD > open on PS > edit > Save us jpeg = small file (around 15 MB)
2. Aperture > export as jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > open on PS > CHANGE dpi's to 300 on <image size> edit > Save us jpeg = big file (Huge, actually)
What am I doing wrong? Would someone give me guidance and tell me what is the best workflow, considering I edit photos to deliver to my clients and I shall give them 300 dpi's.
Thank you

Export Print Press Quality at 300 dpi vs. Interactive at 150 dpi

When I export a file from InDesign using the Press Quality preset, 300 dpi, I get a smaller file size than when I export it as an Interactive PDF with the dpi set at 150. Just wondering why?

300 dpi. I'm attaching some screen shots for the two settings, interactive and print quality. When exporting, you are given some choices for "interactive", "print", "epub", etc. The two things I'm wondering about are interactive and print formats. As I understand it, the Interactive format is better for viewing on devices such as iPads, etc. I'm just puzzled as to why the file size is larger even though my DPI settings are lower.

If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it best to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter?

If exporting images for backup, to reimport into a clean aperture or other program, is it better to use 72 dpi or 300 dpi, or does it matter? I want the best quality for any future unforeseen use.

I am somewhat reluctant to answer your questions after Frank Caggiano's excellent advice, but I really do not like to leave the question open, for there will be many occasions when you will need to export images and to understand how it works.
But please, follow Frank's advice, right now you do not need to worry about pixels and dpi. That is exactly what I meant, when I suggested to you to make sure you keep a copy of your Aperture Library and to back it up with all your other data, before you erase your disk for a clean reinstall.
DPI revisited:
So, is the dpi setting only for exporting to print?
The dpi settings are necessary to define the size of a digital image, since pixels don't have any dimensions. And since you cannot print or display an image without knowing its width and height, you will need to specify dpi when you are printing or scanning.
If I leave it at the default 72dpi will there be any problems getting quality prints in the future from jpeg versions exported with that setting?
Not if you export with the original size - the maximum number of pixels available. That will ensure the maximum print quality.
The dpi settings are required to export versions; versions are derived from the masters and new image files are computed. When you export masters you get a copy of the original file that already may have a dpi setting.
If I choose "export masters", will aperture will export my masters just as they are?
yes, and you may add IPICT data if you choose
Pardon my thick skull--I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks in this digital world!
No apologies necessary, we were all beginners once
Here is another example, maybe that helps a little:
I exported an image (jpeg) with three different setting: export masters, a version with 72dpi, a version with 300dpi and inspected the files in Graphic Converter:
The master was exported like this:
Notice, the master had already dpi settings, although I did not specify any on export.
The size is 51,48 cm x 38,61 cm.
The 72 dpi Version has larger dimensions, but also 10 Megapixels.
and here the 300 dpi version: smaller dimensions, same amount of pixels.

Why am I getting an error when trying to export a jpeg at 300 dpi?

I am trying to export a 18" x 24" illustrator file to a jpg at RGB 72dpi and CMYK 300 dpi. 72, no problem but when I try to export at 300 I get an error message. Any ideas why this is happening?

Not so much a RAM problem as it may be a scratch disk problem. Illustrator may be looking for 1.) a place to put the file, and 2.) enough scratch space to accomplish the op. Try opening the .ai file using Photoshop using the size 18 x 24 @ 300 ppi in the Open dialog. That will rasterize the file ( not sure why you'd want to ).

How do I set to 300 DPI when exporting?

I have a real problem here. I use an Apple iMac with the base software, iPhoto.
When I export and burn to a CD, the photos are evidently being exported at a very low (72) DPI. I've had complaints from publishers and a stock agency that my images are not at 300 DPI. Yet I cannot figure out how to set DPI when exporting.
One stock agency owner told me to click on "preferences" and look there for where to set DPI. I did so, and found nothing whatsoever about DPI settings. He (the stock agency owner) doesn't use an Apple, so he was probably basing his "preferences" suggestion on where one would go if they were using a Windows-based program, or if one were using Photoshop.
If anyone can tell me how to set the DPI using the software I have I would appreciate it. I don't need to know how to do this in Photoshop or Aperture, as I don't have these programs, and I do not intend to get another editing program. How do you do it using only iPhoto - that's my dilemma.
Thanks!

Tom:
DPI only comes into play when you set a size to be printed. Say you have an image that is 1600 x 1200 pixels in size. iPhoto when exported would report it at 72 dpi and a print size of 22.22 inches x 16.66 inches. If you you wanted a 300 dpi print from that photo you would have to print it at 5.33 inches x 4 inches.
It doesn't make any difference what the dpi is reported as long as the pixel dimensions are large. What size prints are offered by the stock agency? Take the largest that you photos would be offered at and multiple each dimension by 300 to get the number of pixels you would need to provide in the file. For example an 8 x 10 would require a minimum of 2400 x 3000 pixels. An 11 x 14 - 3300 x 4200 pixels.
To get a photo to report a specific dpi it must be set to be printed at a particular size. Photoshop can do that. The print size is included with the other info embedded in the file that would let other image applications see the dpi and the print size. For more info on this read The Myth of DPI. Watch this video screenshot of changing the dpi of a photo in Photoshop. Watch as the print size changes with dpi changing but the pixel dimensions remain the same.
iPhoto cannot set the print size for exporting.
Bottom line: if you were to provide an image at 3300 x 4200 pixels (an 11x14) it should be sufficient for any size up to that size. Photoshop Elements for Mac, at $79 (Amazon.com) has about 75% of Photoshop's capabilities at 1/7 the cost. It's really a very powerful, consumer oriented image editor. Ask them what the minimum pixel dimensions are for the photos.

Export 300 dpi file from multiple apps, but it is received at 72 dpi

Hi,
I need HELP please.
I am creating a print job that needs to be output at 300 dpi. I have created the file in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Each time I set the file up as a 300 dpi file. I create the art, then I output. I have output both as an app original file (.psd, .ai, etc.) and as a .jpg and as a High Quality (Print) .pdf. But, when each of them is opened by another computer, the dpi is identified as 72 dpi. When they send the file back to me and I open it on my computer, it is identified as a 300 dpi.
Initially I had this problem with PS and I thought it was a PS problem. I worked with the folks at Adobe and they can't find a solution. Then, in desparation I had to get the file done, so I re-created everything in AI and had the same problem. Then in ID and had the same problem. (BTW - I'm using CS5.5). So, now I think that it's a Mac problem, not an Adobe problem.
Any ideas?
anita
PS - I use a 17" Mac Book Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7; OS X 10.6.8 with an Apple Cinema Display 30" set to display at 1600 X 1200 (so I can read it as I'm not 19 any more)
Thanks for any help anyone can provide. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out!!!

Let me see if I am understanding this correctly, you create a PSD file at 300dpi, then you save this and reopen on your computer and it is still 300dpi, then you send this file as a psd to your client, and they open it and tell you that it is only 72dpi, then they send the same file back to you and it is at 300dpi on your computer again.
Are you sending the file via email, cd or flash drive?
Is the file sent in its raw psd state or is it being compressed with .zip, or .sit or anything like that?
Could you send me the file so I can confirm if the file is indeed 72dpi.
Otherwise this sounds like almost impossible behaviour to me.

Save PDF to Folder as Jpeg/300 dpi

Question about exporting custom book design into Jpegs/300 dpi. I do it, it seems to be working and then once it stops I can't find the file with the jpegs of the book design. Not sure if it's saving and if it is where it's saving to? I went into automator (which I know nothing about) and when I run the 'save PDF to folder as jpeg" action, I get an error message. Help! Thanks in advance!

Installing Aperture again will not affect your library, so there is no risk doing that.

PNG export with 72 dpi

I want to export an image (bitmap PNG or PSD) as a PNG with transparency in 72 dpi.
InDesign CC 2014 makes the PNG very pixelated. InDesign CC looks fine.
Is this a bug or a feature?

I meant the PDF export is no option for me. The 300 dpi PNG export is better for my workflow but not the best.
But if you can export a PNG, open it into PS, resample, resave, you could also export the page as PDF/X-4 and open it as 72ppi and save as png.
If you are using OSX this AppleScript will do that:

There have always been problems with ID's png export

Exporting Images: What DPI to set or does it matter?

Dear Forum:
I'm using Aperture 2.1.4. To export JPEGs in "Original Size", to retain the highest image quality should hit the "edit" button to make modifications on parameters such as DPI or image quality?
The default setting is 72 DPI. If I change this to 300 DPI, will this improve the retention of detail? As an experiment I exported the same image at 72 DPI (default) and one at 300 DPI. The 300 DPI file was 11mb while the 72 DPI file was only 4 mb. But when I zoomed in on the picture on both I could not notice any difference at all. So therefore, is 72 DPI the most that a JPEG is capable of for a 10.1 MP picture? Are there any other factors on why I should take it up to 300 DPI, perhaps it's easier to post process?
Thanks,
Steve

It really doesn't matter - the number of pixels is the number of pixels the only time it really matters is if the software on the other end uses it to display the image on a device of different DPI and figures out how many "inches" it should be.
This setting can be used in other ways but I am answering the question for your specific question.

Sending hi res (300 dpi) jpegs from Lightroom 4

I am taking a course on making Christmas decorations. Have been asked to send my images @ 3" x 3", 300 dpi, medium jpeg. We have spent 2 days back and forth with this and I have not been able to complete the Export panel correctly. Can anyone help. Thanks.

I had cropped my image to 3 x 3 first.
Unless you want square pictures, crop to whatever dimensions are most pleasing, e.g. 4000x3000 (i.e. as big as possible preserving the portion of image you want), cropped dimension bears no relationship to print resolution (which is what the dpi value is referring to, or should be).
If you truly want square pictures, then crop to 4000x4000 or 3000x3000 or 2000x2000 etc. in other words: crop determines aspect ratio (overall retangular shape: square, wide, tall, ...).
Now that you've got them cropped correctly (or maybe they didn't need to be cropped at all - do you really want exactly square pictures?), you need to export them how she wants them, which, assuming she's using the correct terminology (or should I say terminology consistent with Lightroom's export dialog box), then export them at 900 pixels per side, max, and set (print) resolution to 300 pixels per inch.
That should do it.
If that doesn't do it, then you need to get more specific instructions from her.
Example settings:
Note: (print) Resolution merely sets a metadata item in the file, it (otherwise) has no effect whatsoever on exported image.
WallStShari wrote:
She said it only came to her at 240 pixels square.
An image exported with the above settings will come to her at 900 pixels on a side (square if cropped square, or rectangular with 900 pixels on long edge, if not cropped square). Just make sure you've not cropped it down to fewer pixels than 900 on a side, or you'll be losing quality, since it'll have to be enlarged to meet requirements. Greater than 900 pixels per side is OK, since Lr can shrink files without such quality loss.
Regarding Jpeg quality: 90 is very high, 80 is high, 60-70 is medium, 50 or below is (relatively) "low" - roughly and subject to opinion.

How to default 300 dpi in ACR?

Hi all,
if I convert a photograph from ACR (Version 5.5...) in PSE 8 I get the image in 240 dpi (before it has 300 dpi, Nikon settings).
Of course I'm able to do this setting again in PSE (it's an export value for printing) but in ACR/CS4 (for example) you can set the dpi.
The presettings in ACR/PSE8 are very "poor" (7 presettings, 5 checkboxes but no dpi or something). I can't find more possibilities.
Best,
Onno

Indeed, it's an export value but I want to change this export value from 240 to 300 dpi. Please explain me where I find the settings for that.
Please understand: Many cameras write the photographs with 300 dpi (my Nikon too) even this value is the most used for printing. And my wish is to keep this for the whole workflow. But ACR works with 240 dpi.
It's a matter of comfort; no more, no less! But I want to get this comfort (this words are for the Adobe-Sect).
Thanks,
Onno

Aperture 3.6 Uploads to Flickr only at 72 dpi, not 300 dpi. Why?

Yesterday I upgraded to the new retina iMac (Yosemite 10.10) and updated Aperture to 3.6. (Previous iMac had not been updated with Yosemite.)
With previous setup, I was uploading to Flickr albums at 300 dpi.
With new setup, photos upload at 72 dpi, including files that previously uploaded at 300 dpi.
I've tried Preferences > Export > External Editor File Format > 300 dpi.
I've also done Presets > Image Exports > changed all formats/sizes to 300 dpi.
FWIW, I can export from Aperture into Lightroom and upload to Flickr from there at 240 dpi.
My question:
What setting am I missing in Aperture 3.6 so that photos upload to Flickr albums at 300 dpi again?

You should look at this thread Problem with Aperture 3.6 preset exports.
Seems Aperture has changed something since 3.6 that might be causing what you are seeing. The way Aperture is setting the JFIF x and y density settings has changed and they do not reflect the true DPI set on the file.
Don;t know if Flickr looks at those, something to keep in mind.
regards
<edit>
FWIW, I can export from Aperture into Lightroom and upload to Flickr from there at 240 dpi.
did you change the dpi setting in Lightroom? You should look the the image in Preview BEFORE you import into Lightroom. Look at the JFIF settings. Then look again AFTER you export from Lightroom. Did the JFIF settings change?
