Optimal contacts image size

Hello there!
I simple question: What is the optimal size of images to be used as a contact´s image (in pixels).
Thanks!

Oh, ok, I see...graphic designers don´t want a phone just to resize their work...
The thing is that not all Nokia phones have the same sizes for contact images.
Are you doing this for any phone in particular?
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

X6-00 contact image size

Hello,
does anyone know the image size to use as contact image ?
Thanks

It used to be (several iPhone releases ago) that photos that were added directly on the iPhone appeared large, and photos that were synced to the iPhone appeared smaller.
I have not seen any update in the past couple of years to know whether this is still true. But I suggest trying that approach. Make sure the photos added on your iPhone directly are the most recent updates for those contacts you want to see a large photo for when they call.

Nokia 6303 contacts image size

Hi,
Just bought a new Nokia 6303 and there's a detail when calling that I dislike and I'm sure it's fixable but i just don't know how. I set a picture for a contact but when calling the picture size is very small and show in the bottom side of the screen near the name of the one I'm calling. I need to make the image bigger so I can see it on the whole screen.
Please help!
Thanks in advance and regards,
Dani

There is no setting to change this as far as I know and you can't even install an application to change this because you have a s40 phone
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

Contact image size

So the iPhone contacts that appear when I get a call are pretty big, bigger than i can view them in Address Book. Does anyone know if theres a way to view a higher res profile photo in address book, or is this something that's gonna be added in Leopard?
Thx in advance.

Recommended Image Size for Contact Pictures?

Hi All,
I want to edit up some family members to attach thier images to my iPhone contacts... Does anyone know what the preferred resolution size is for the iPhone for optimal appearance?
I've tried to do this with outlook before, and I hate the way it dithers the images to a low quality.... I'm hoping that the iPhone doesn't do this and so I wanted to experiment with how they would appear...
But instead of making the images just any random size, I wanted to crop them to the preferred image/pixel size so that my photoshopped images look like what I expect them to show up like...
If you could advise with the documented or known pixel resolution size used by the iPhone it would be appreciated!

Thanks, but I don't believe that the contacts come up full screen do they?
Usually there is a optimal image size for certain things like contact photos and I am just trying to help ensure that all my photos are the same size and don't vary...
I might be a little carried away with how I am formatting them, but just hoping someone already knows this answer!

Creating specific image sizes on contact sheets

I need to be able to create specific images size on contact sheets 1.75"x 2.25" on 24"w x ??"L paper. Anyone know how to do this?

A script like my Paste Image roll. Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support
http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx
From my Photo Collage Toolkit
Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this A video showing a 5 image collage PSD template being populates with images:
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.

Problems with image sizes

There seems to be lots of confusion about image sizes and Apple iBookstore Support et al simply state that images should not be greater than 2 megapixels.
IBook Author Help > Photos and other images, states:-
Important: When you export your book for distribution outside the iBookstore, images are automatically scaled to a width of 2048 pixels, which is optimized for iPad with Retina display. Readers can view these images on other iPad models, but the viewing experience might be slower. You can improve the viewing experience on iPad models without Retina display by using images no wider than 1024 pixels.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5117 states:-
Publishing to the iBookstore:
If most of your readers will be using the original iPad, scale down images in Interactive Image widgets to a width of 2048 pixels and all other images to a width of 1024 pixels.
Previewing on iPad, or exporting for distribution outside the iBookstore:
You can improve the viewing experience on iPad models without Retina display by scaling down images in Interactive Image widgets to a width of 2048 pixels and all other images to a width of 1024 pixels.iBA help deals with exporting books OUTSIDE the store and simply advises that you can help none Retina viewers by having a smaller image. No help at all really - but suggests that the use of images 2048 is OK. that would indicate 2048 x 1536 or 1496. No mention of what resolution should be used.
iBookstore support basically reapeat this.
So to ease life in getting books accepted, should we all use 1024 x 768 @72ppi for iPad & iPad 2 and now iPad mini. ????
and use 2048 x 1536 @ ?? for The New iPad Retina display!
Both fail to mention HOW the books author would know which iPad a buyer/viewer will be using. Also if "we" only use 1024 x 768, those with Retina do not get an "enhanced viewing experience".
For a company that deals entirely with devices that use logical programming - there seems very little logic applied when it comes to dealing with a section of their business which by issueing iBA Free and wacking 30% of the top, must be adding to the $billions already stacked away in a corner somewhere.
iBA makes eBooks for use/display on iPads only. For months now since iBA became available, one of the most common requests on this forum is help with....image sizes.
It seems reasonable now when Retina is in use and eventually the iPad and iPad 2 will fade away - ditto the new none retina mini and ALL Apple devices and computers will be retina. So why not plan now! Surely images in shoudl be geared to deal with Retina displays. IF Apple would take that line maybe "Support" would have less work dealing with requests for help about images IF Apple accept that the next Stephen King may not have a clue how to deal with adjusting images sizes and simply state the required dimentions.
I make photo books and use 2048 x 1496 @150ppi - so far ten free books have gone into the store.
The suggestion about images for retina display as "standard" as been sent as feedback.

For all those who are still confused by Apples image restrictions / requirements...
In the new Template chooser after the recent updates is "Antique". This template has a Chapter background image ( the olde world print of sailing ships in blue litho print style ). This print when opened in PS is 2771 x 1506 @72ppi. 2771x1506=4,173,126 pixels.This implies Apple supply a book which does not comply with its own requirements!
Higher image resolution applied to printed photo inmages, make the image sharper. If for example you wanted to print a wall poster 45inches wide, the image needs needs a higher resolution to cater for the size, BUT the same image used for a 45" poster will print 4.5" wide print on your own printer!
iBA full page is deemed to be 1024 x 748. resolution from Apple is 72ppi. An image with those specifications will be OK in iPad & iPad 2 - but not so sharp on a Retina display especially if zoomed larger on screen
Now it seems 2048 x 1496 - double the original image size is suggested for Retina.
You can change an image in PS i.e. 1024 x 748 and change resolution to 144. PS will double the pixel size as you change the resolution. OK, just change pixel sizes back to 1024 x 748 and reolution is now 144.
That indicates a sharper image which will be suitable for retina display and in fact all current iPad models.
Today my 11th photo book was notified as available in the iBook Store, all my images were pre-formatted at 2048 x 1496 @ 150ppi. ( 2048 x 1496 = 3.063,808 pixels!)
During delivery there were no issues flagged and after delivery no tickets.
So I suggest all those folk pondering images sizes follow my example, which is now proved to be accepatble!
One thing puzzles me though, I dont use all images as full page and they can be masked down to - say - 250 x 200. Should just make an image to fit the size I want to display ??

In A2500, how to change the Image Size?

I have an A2500 camera. The images are great, but they're huge (1.5mb each) and fill up my memory card way too quickly. How can I use the camera's menu settings so images are stored in a smaller size?

Hi TravelMark!
Thanks for posting!
To change the image size, please press the <FUNC/SET> button. select the [L], then change that to [M1] or [M2].

Photo Stream Image Size to iPad

Is there a way to set the image size dementions that are uploaded via Photo Stream to iPad?

The image size is determined automatic. See iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 50 pixels wide.

Image size difference making PDF's in Bridge

Making PDF's in Bridge on a Mac. The image size I am using is 199 x 300 pixels (5.3 x 8 cm) and when I add a horizontal image to the output preview box, the images retain that size, however, when I add the vertical images to the preview box, although they still show as the same pixels, they display and print at 3.5 x 5.3 cm, much smaller. Need help, please.

however, all the prints need to be the same orientation. Both vertical and horizontal prints appear on the same page.
CS6 has also brought back the old Contact sheet script but I don't think this will do it either. Both PDF output and Contact sheet script are meant mainly for contact sheet use. And both have the boundary box rules as it seems, maybe you should play more with dimensions and rows/columns but I doubt this will give you the result. In older versions there was picture package which maybe was more what you needed?
Don't know why you need them to be the same size exactly? However as said, mainly for contact sheet use and not a sophisticated print module (a wish from many users)

Enhanced Podcast Image Size?

Hi - I'm wondering if anyone knows what the minimum, maximum, recommended, or optimal image size and resolution are for building enhanced podcasts in Garageband. I have looked through a variety of support options at Apple and I can't find any guidelines about what file types and sizes can be used when adding images to an enhanced podcast, just which sound and video files are supported. The podcasts may be viewed via iTunes or on an iPod, so the viewing size may vary drastically. Any tips would be helpful! Thank you!

Hi
Optimal size/resolution for an extended podcast image is 300x300 at 72 dpi. Use .jpg

Very confused about ppi, resolution, and image size...

I have read so much on these things and even posted along these lines here and there, but remain totally confused.
Say the size of my pictures is around 2000 x 3000. Once I download them to PSE, the resolution is 72ppi. Is this default and could I/should I change this?
I generally do four things with my pictures.
First I edit them.
Next I email to family members.
Then I order prints (99% are 5x7 or smaller)
Finally I store them (on computer with CD backup).
Now, space is a bigger concern than quality since I print small prints generally. So what would be my best options for saving my files, but getting very nice prints?
Right now, once I edit, I save my files in .jpg, baseline "optimized" at 72ppi. Only following the computer defaults though, not because I think this is best. Would I be better off saving in TIFF or is this not necessary?
Any links with further info would be appreciated also.
Thank you,
Amy

Amy,
1. I just took a picture today, and when I look in Image>resize>image size the dimensions are as follows:
W=2288px H=1712px W=31.778" H=23.778" @72px/in. resolution
When I change resolution to 325 px/in., W=7.04" H=5.268"
As the resolution is increased, the dimensions decrease. This is what is called an inverse relation.
Why did I change to 325px/in? Because for printing it is desirable to have a resolution of 240-300 px/in, or so. Also, note that this resolution gives me almost a perfect 5x7 size format, and one can crop off the excess readily. If one desires 4x6 size, one can crop to that dimension.
2. I enhance the pictures next, leaving sharpening for the last step
3. I save primarily in PSD and/or JPEG. Both PSD and TIFF allow one to retain layers, are lossless, and thus one avoids degradation with sequential editing. JPEG is is a compression format which conserves disk space (in comparison to PSD and TIFF), and is most likely required for your e-mail and your photo finisher. I save some of the JPEG files. I usually elect baseline optimized, and the JPEG allows me to elect quality 8, which is good for my purpose and results in a manageable file size.
4. Right after I download my picture files from the camera, I burn them to a CD (i.e. before I do anything else), and right after I finish the final edits I burn them to CD as well. This is my "film", if you will. If the computer fails or if I should accidentally delete a file from disk, I still have it available.
I am sure that others will post, but that is my current work flow.

After installing 3.6, Firefox's screen image is drasticallay rreduced, how do I get bact the screen image size that I had with previous Firefox?

I installed Firefox 3.6 and when I restarted the program the display image size was approximately 2/3 the size of the image provided by the previous version of Firefox.I had to zoom-in 5 times before I could read the text. How can I recover the screen settings that I had with the previous version of Firefox or how can I set new defults for screen image size under Firefox 3.6?

Hello Michael.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
Also, if you want to use an older version of Firefox, please use Firefox 3.5.11. Only versions 3.5.11 and 3.6.8 are supported, and both contain all the latest security fixes. Using any other version is unsafe and not recommended.

Cover resolution-image size

I have no access to the iTunes Store because I'm not in the US and don't have a US credit card.
Now that iTunes comes with Cover Flow I would like album artwork to look gorgeous on my 17" Flat CRT Dell. I'm trying to find an optimal resolution (dpi) and image size for cover art.
I've made some tests with jpeg 500x500 pixels at 105 dpi and with png and psd. Also with 600x600 at 127 dpi. When in the viewer they looks OK but it seems Cover Flow blurs a bit the image when in Full Screen. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

"You don't have to live in the US to view the US iTunes Store. You can't buy anything from it, but you can still browse it."
What I meant was I don't have access to the ITunes artwork.
But back to my question, don't you feel that when in Full screen mode the image is blured a little?

ColorSync profiles and image size

For some reasons, why I apply a colorsync profile to an image and save the image, the file size goes down by about 50%. Does anyone know why this happens or how this can be avoided?
Could it have something to do with the fact that when you save an image in Preview is it's pre-set to save JPG images at 'almost best' quality, but not 'best' quality?
Does this 50% decrease in file size mean the image has been compressed and lost information?
Also, while I'm on the topic, which is the best coloursync profile to apply to my images if I may use them for creating iPhoto books? The sRGB profile makes the images look a bit dark on my screen, as does Camera RGB. However, the sRGB IEC1996-2.1 looks about the right one, but I don't really know much about color management.

Hi Tom,
Everytime you save an image as a jpg it does become more compressed and is usually a smaller file size. That does not necessarily mean that you are losing image quality.
When you save images, you are most of the time optimizing the image. Which means, trying to make the file size as small as possible without any loss in image quality. Optimization is the result of the images you see on the internet, they need to be of high quality but a reasonable file size.
For printing purposes you probably would want to save the file as 'highest' possible quality. I have printed 5mb jpg files to as large as 20 x 30 with no loss of quality. Preview allows you to save at the highest quality by using the 'Save As' option...
Color Profile - As far as what others may see compared to what you see on your screen. I would probably bet almost everyone will see a slightly different image depending on computer type, screen, monitor brightness etc.
