Photo resolution/size for Calendar images?

I have a small photo (4" x 3.293" @ 150 ppi) that I'd like to use in my calendar. When I drag it onto the calendar page, it seems that it's being enlarged and then I get the dreaded yellow exclamation point thingy telling me it may not print out well. I do not have the "Fit Photo to Frame Size" checked. I guess I'd like to know 2 things.
1. Can't I use a small photo like this without it being enlarged?
2. Is there a particular resolution/ppi that's recommended for my photos to print out well?
Thank you!

Not that I have found - photos are fit to the frame - and frame sizes are not adjustable - so unless you can find a layout with a smaller frame you have what you have
2. Is there a particular resolution/ppi that's recommended for my photos to print out well?
The warning comes on below 180 dpi (ppi) - but people have printed photos with warnings and been ok with them - it would be better to have a higher resolution photo but for me anyway the subject is what is important and if the technical quality is not perfect, the subject is still there - last year I included a couple of small 72 ppi photos I downloaded from the web of our son in a 4.5 x 5 frame and while you certainly can see that the resolution of the two photos is not great - the calendar page is great
Preview your calendar before sending it - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and set your expectations reasonably and you should be ok if the photos are not really big in the calendar - up to 4 x 3 I doubt that you will see any difference

  • Photo file sizes for emailing

    Greetings
    I normally take photos at the highest resolution, making for some large file sizes.
    I was wondering how or if its possible to email pictures taken from the camera as a smaller file size, without having to convert/crop/manipulate the picture so that we don't fill up anyone's inbox with 50megs of photos. Especially since we have some friends still on dial up.
    This is basically for the wife, who just wants to take pics off the camera and send them to friends as easily as possible without sending huge emails to people.
    Hope I explained that properly.
    Thanks for any input.

    Hi new2mac222: It is quite easy to do actually from within iPhoto. Select the photo(s), then select the eMail Icon. The first dialog box that pops up will allow you to select the size of the files to be sent. There is also a selection box in the bottom right corner of the new eMail dialog box.
    Note: These instructions based on iPhoto '08, so yours may be slightly different.
    Hope this helps

  • Most Practical Size For Multiple Images on Slideshows

    Dear All,
    I'm creating a DVD that contains thousands of images on as slideshows. I've imported only a few hundred images and already Encore seems to be struggling with the file size of these pictures. I have lots of memory on my computer so I'm guessing I need to batch re-size all of my photos before importing them into the programme.
    Can anyone tell me a typical file size for images if I were to be using alot of them. A file size so that I don't loose any of the quality and that won't slow down the project too much?
    Kind Regards,
    Jonny

    Your images need to be 720x480 for NTSC or 720x576 for PAL, but that is with non-square pixels. They will be encoded to MPEG I-frames (similar to JPEG compression) by Encore.
    Since most images are created with square pixels, you should resize to 720x534 for NTSC or 768x576 for PAL. The dpi is insignificant as it is the pixel dimensions that are important. Set it to 72 dpi for ease of viewing on the computer. If you save in an uncompressed image format such as bitmap, each image will be a little bit over 1 MB. If you save as JPEGs, they will be significantly smaller. If you do choose JPEG, make sure to set the quality high enough so that your images don't look degraded.
    Edit: This is of course assuming that your images are in the 4:3 aspect ratio. If they are not, just use the dimensions I gave as an upper limit and Encore will frame the picture in black.

  • Optimum Photo/Slide Size for Podcast

    Hello,
    Would anyone know the optimum size for a slide from Keynote, to be exported to iPhoto, so it will fit in the pre-determined size for a podcast in GarageBand? My photos from Keynote slides are large, so I have to adjust their size in GarageBand. This leaves a black top and bottom to each photo in the finished podcast, kind of like watching a cinema film. Would it be 300x300?
    Thanks,
    Angelo

    Hi Angelo-
    Would't it be nice to use all the real estate of an iPod screen and have images 400x300, the dimensions of a Keynote slide? Garageband doesn't allow that currently, but if we let Apple know we would like it a software engineer should be able to easily add it. To submit such a request, launch Garageband and then under the Garageband menu at the top pull down and select "Garageband feedback". That's how you let them know to add this aspect ratio feature. THanks!

  • Image size for LOCAL images

    Is there still a size limit for the ZMG file for local images (not network
    installations)? I have a ZMG that is 2.17g that works fine using the
    network but I get the error message "end of archive" when using a dvd with
    that same image. I found several messages from last year that indicate
    that the zmg can not be greater than 2 gig for local installations. Is
    that still true? I am going to have to span my media?
    TIA,
    Sandy

  • Script to "Reset size" for all images in a RoboHelp project

    New UI. Quick fix to pull new screenshots is hampered by the size constraints of graphics.
    Is there a (third party or built in) script that will reset size for all the images in a RoboHelp HTML project?
    RH8, RoboHelpHTML bulished as WebHelp.
    PS the filter in Adobe Forums doesn't allow me to limit the search to RoboHelp HTML and WebHelp; I don't have any other Adobe products, so all the hits don't apply.

    Thanks for this script!
    What needs to be done to convert a .jsx into an .exe executable that I can add to the RH Toolbox (pod) and run it in a project on my terms, rather than import into the project so it runs (whenever I compile?)
    What is the ReSize tool for that already exists in the toolbox?

  • What is the suggested pixel sizes for audiobook images?

    I know album art is 600 x 600 for music. Does the audiobook format use these same dimensions? Or more of a rectangle size instead of perfect square?
    Thanks!

    Are you creating the artwork or getting it from the Internet? If you're downloading it, there's not much consistency in format. Some publishers size the art as if it came from a paperback book cover, others size for CD jewel cases. The more recent stuff is 600x600.

  • Premier Elements. Rcommendation for still photo resolution/size

    I have a Panasonic composite camera.  It shoots HVCHD lite.  It also takes 16:9 (3968*2232 9Meg) still photos.  I wish to produce a composite DVD in Pal format suitable for a wide screen TV.  What resolution and size is recommended for the still shots?  I am using Windows XP with Powertoy image resizer.  Or is it more convenient to use the Oraganizer in Elements to resize the photos?  Tony

    For my thoughts on still images, you might want to see this THREAD. In your case, you'd substitute my 720x480 PAR 0.9 for your HD Project's framesize. If you need to do any panning on images that will be fully zoomed out, I'd not go any larger than you will need to accomplish this. Some Projects require that I use several different Actions in Photoshop, if I will do much panning on the zoomed out images. Since I do not do any automatic pan/zoom Effects, but create each by hand, as each image is unique, I can tailor the resizing to exactly what I will need. If you let your program do these Effects automatically, then just give a bit more wiggle room and your good to go. Having overly large stills in your Project costs you, both in processing power and also quality - PS's resizing algorithms are better than Premiere's and doing this outside of the NLE is much more efficient.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Image size for still images

    I've got a bunch of 300DPI 8x10 inch images I want to put into iMovie.
    Do I need to reduce file size or will iMovie reduce the size automaticlly?
    What is the smallest DPI I can use and still have a good image on a 9foot by 12 foot screen.
    Thanks.

  • Custom Sizes for processing images

    I am used to using Dr.Brown's Image Processor,
    You simply request a size of image you want
    from your RAW files and voila there it is. It seems
    there are only canned sizes that I can process an
    image to from my RAW files. Is this true or am I
    missing the obvious (like usual)?
    Peter

    That's really a bummer, Imagine a 20000 images per year you want processed from
    RAW directly to a 1280x1280 jpeg (because your editor insists) for preview,
    Has anyone tried using Dr. Brown's Image processor for CS2,
    Chris Cox, will Dr. Brown have java script for this purpose soon?

  • How can I make Preview open to actual size for all images?

    In Snow Leopard, Preview open all images actual size. In Mountain Lion, vertical images (and all images larger than the screen) fit to the screen and I have to use the keyboard command to see actual size. What happened, and is there any way to fix this?

    Open a PDF in Preview. Now, right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar ...
    Drag the circled items from the customize panel to your toolbar and release there.
    Click the middle button in the Zoom panel. The Scale will report 100%.
    Your future Preview documents will open at 100% now.

  • Set exported resolution for each image within InDesign

    I'm generating a document in InDesign destined only for the screen (as a PDF) and I'm wondering whether in CS6 the user can set the exported resolution separately for each image. i.e click on a image and set the resolution for that image. Reason: to allow end-viewers to zoom in on certain images and retain quality.
    And while I'm on the subject of changing resolution, a few years ago someone wrote a script for me (in response to a post), that when you clicked on an image within InDesign, resampled the original to 300 dpi, saved it, and made the necessary adjustments in InDesign so the image stayed the same size.
    Can CS6 do that? Or do I need to dig up the old script?

    > ... destined only for the screen (as a PDF) ...
    The developers of PDF will thank you for that statement!

  • Lightroom 1.4.1:  Reducing File/Image Size for Web/E-Mail

    This should be a simple thing.
    I need to reduce my file size to upload it into various things on the web and e-mail and what not.  Sometimes it asks for a specific size.
    Right now, I'm using the Export function to do this, which means I have to reset the Image Settings each time in order to get to the size required.
    Isn't there and easier way to do this, like just type in the image size you want and have the program reset the image proportionately?
    Is there a ratio chart for this, like 1000 x 1400 = # of bytes?
    This is a function used all the time--I can't believe it's this cumbersome.

    (a)     How do I know I am selecting the correct pixel size for e-mail?  Just keep hunting and pecking until I find the right mix or is there a number combination that works consistently?  And if the latter is correct, what is that number combination.
    I just can't believe that reducing the MP size to get it in shape for an e-mail "thumbprint" photo is this tough.  Even with the 'preset', I'd have to set up a preset for every picture because they vary by MP and the scaling seems to change.
    There is no "standard" size for sending images via email. Just make it small. There is a save for email preset in recent releases of Lr. You can download the demo and see what that entails.
    You don't have to create a preset for each picture. I don't know what you would say that. Yes, the amount it compress varies with the information in the image, but this has always been the case with JPEGs. You don't have to make an image that is exactly some size. You just have to make it small enough for most MTAs and MUAs to handle. Since there is no real standard for this, just make it small enough for you.
    Something like 800px on the longest side, 70-80% quality should do it to find the JPEG compression sweet-spot.

  • Size/Resolution of Backgrounds and Images

    Hello,
    I have seen tons of questions and answers about adjusting the resolution for images and I have seen many answers. But in my case I am designing my entire app in photoshop (buttons, backgrounds, images) and then I wanted to take those assets and put them
    in my app. 
    But my question is what the appropriate resolution for my background images for one so they show up just as crisp and bright as the do in Photoshop? I know windows devices can support multiple resolutions but you shouldn't have images that are too large
    to avoid slow loading, so with that being said what is the ideal size for background images to keep the crisp resolution?
    And with images, I know I have to create multiple sizes to be able to quickly adjust to multiple resolution, can someone provide detailed guidance on how to go about that. The more specific with these 2 the better.
    Thanks!

  • What size must an image be for iMovie?

    Hi Apple Community
    Am wanting to add some stills to an iMovie production.
    What is the ideal size for these images in pixels?
    Kind Regards
    Chris

    video nowadays comes in two resolutions:
    1280x720
    1920x1080
    If you plan to do excessive Ken Burns, for sure more (then you can pan along a whole coastline, for example)
    and before anybody asks: NO, for video, the dpi is of no use! a 1920x1080 in 72dpi has the same quality than a 1000dpi or a 5dpi pic.
    Much more important is the grade-of-compression ... a 20MioPixel pic,, squeezed into a 12.3kB jpg looks after done into 'video' terrible... (key word banding) ....
