Photoshop cropping to correct image size for SP

Ok, this is my first attempt for support here. I've looked quite a bit at other questions that might be similar but can't seem to find my answer.
I'm trying to prepare about 150 pictures in photoshop for a gift DVD presentation. Unfortunately most of the shots are portrait and of course the screens are landscape. I'm wondering if there's a way I can crop these pictures before bringing them over to SP? In the photoshop cropping option I don't get pixels but rather inches. I've learned on the forums that I should try and have my pictures set at 720 X 534 at 72. However in the "image size" option of photoshop when I change the height pixels it automatically changes my previously set width pixels which I has set at 720. AND, what it an even greater concern is that the image size option just makes my pictures smaller but does no cropping. I'd sure like to decide where all these portrait pictures get cropped myself rather than having SP I guess automatically cut them to size to fit the screen.
Appreciate any assistance. I'm using CS3 and SP4

You will need to scale them and then drop them into a proper template (there should be DV menu templates with CS3, have not got my copy yet, but CS2 had them - should be there when you select File->New)
Take a look at the action and title safe lines also in the template, you are going to want all the photos to be inside the small area.
In order to see what you want to see from the pictures you will need to adjust each one.

  • 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!

  • Photo image size for letterpress card

    I'm trying to create a simple card in iPhoto 11 and am having some difficulties.
    The various card themes have several layout options. Each option requires a certain size image (or sizes - some layouts are for more than one image).
    How am I supposed to know what size of image will fit in each "layout box"?
    Am I supposed to just play with the size of the image by resizing a JPG until it fits? Too time consuming - I've tried and I just can't get it to fit. Obviously I missing something simple if this is to be an "easy way to quickly make a card". I cannot find the required image size for the various layouts anywhere, so I'm clearly missing something.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1035 tells me recommended resolutions, but they are too big to fit into a card.
    NOTE: I'm not talking about cropping an image or resizing it, which I can do. 
    I just need to know the size these card layouts require! Where is this information located, or what am I doing wrong?
    Am I confusing DPI and pixels and resolution and ....?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Best,
    Kurt

    I'm not clear on whatyou are not clear on
    You simply drag photos to the enpty photo frames in the template - there are move and pan controls if you want to change the position of the photo - you can reight click on a photo and select "fit to frame" in most themse if the photo ratios do not match teh frame ratios and yo are losing parts of the photo
    the only "resolution" concern you have is that the photos are at least 180 DPI and if they are not you will get a warning
    "Note: A yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point in the center may appear if the resolution is too low (below 180 DPI)."
    The article you referenced gives Minimum pixel sizes for various uses - if your photo are that size or larger you are fine
    The pixel size is shown in teh info window for a photo

  • 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.

    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.

  • Calculating image sizes for ibookstore submission

    I have the new ipad...so all my graphics look great, but I am having a hard time finding the exact method for determining image size for a book I am submitting to ibookstore. Can anyone point me to a way to calculate the best and largest images for ibooks

    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 ??

  • Photoshop CC not displaying correct image sizes, among other issues.

    Hey, so I'd like a bit of help here!
    I got my new laptop from the school a couple of weeks ago and photoshop’s been funky ever since I got it. It’s a brand new Macbook, and it's running Photoshop CC.
    First things first, it won’t recognize some of the brushstrokes I make. It will show that I've made them, but they won’t show up in the history panel. I'll have to make another stroke for it to register both of them. (Making undoing things a real pain.) Also, some of the keyboard shortcuts I use won't work in a really similar way. If I go to switch to my brush by pressing b, it occasionally won't register it unless I make an additional brush stroke. This works with all of the other shortcuts I use.
    In addition, file sizes are all kinds of messed up. Here’s the most recent example. The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
    Here’s another example. This one is 1254 x 1201, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB, shown at 100% zoom. The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M. I don’t feel like that’s right? I don't remember any other versions of Photoshop having images be that large.
    Maybe it’s my computer settings? Right now I have the resolution set on "best for display," but even if i use the "scaled" option and change sizes, the images are still too small.
    I don't know if I would be able to uninstall and then re-install Photoshop because the school has control over those sorts of things and there are certain programs that you cannot remove. I've tried restarting the program as well as the laptop, but neither of those helped.
    if anyone can help me, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!

    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html
    As for the specifics:
    The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M.
    If you double the dimensions of an image the area is increased fourfold – so what is the problem there?
    The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
    The introduction or Retina (and other high resolution) displays and browsers actually up-scaling images to accommodate those screen resolutions seems to have confused some users about the concept of pixels.

  • Photoshop elements not printing correct image size

    My photoshop elements 12 prints images larger than called for by the settings. A 3" square image, for example, printed at "actual size" comes out at about 3.5 inches. This is a new problem, as I've use PSE for years without it happening. I figure I must have unknowingly changed a setting somewhere, but can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

    I did that, and also reinstalled PSE, both to no avail. Here's a shot of the print dialog. I don't know where the numbers shown by my arrow came from, or how to change them, but when I print the page, and the photo I am printing, are scaled up to 11x8.5, thereby expanding the image proportionately. This particular image is 3x2 inches actual, but comes out 3.75x2.5 inches. There seems to be a built-in border of some sort that I've never had to deal with before.

  • Photoshop image size for Premiere Pro CS4 project.

    Bless me folks, for I have sinned, it has been a few years since my last video project and it was done using Premiere 6.  I now have CS4 Production Premium.  In Premiere 6, when I wanted to bring images into the timeline i would create them in photoshop and save them as 720 x 540 bmp files.
    My question is, in Premiere CS4, what size should I make my photoshop files?  I want the final movie to take up most of a wide screen hdtv with a minimal amount of bars at the top and bottom.  I want my images to appear clearly and the text on the images to appear clearly on screen.  I will be creating a dvd and or blu ray, whichever works, and I may eventually want to output the movie for the web as well.
    So ... what new width and height and file type should I use for my photoshop files?  They all need to be the same size because sometimes I use several consecutive photoshop files to show movement on screen because I have not learned how to use after effects yet.
    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks for the info Dennis.  The reason that the size matters to me is that I want a clear quality picture on the hdtv screen.  And with my primitive jibjab-like moving picture technology, I need each image to be the same size so that things move around the screen exactly where I want.  I know that if I start off with a small image size it will look terrible onscreen, so your 1920 x 1080 suggestion is probably what I am looking for.
    I think i used the bmp format in Premiere 6 for performance reasons, but it sounds like maybe performance using psd files has improved with cs4.
    I appreciate the jump-start.

  • What are correct Image sizes?

    I've created a slideshow using Ken Burns effect, but some of the images don't seem to fit edge to edge left to right. The problem is that I have images where the subjects are on the left and right, but when viewed in the slideshow all I can see is the middle of the image and the subject is cut off. I can manually slide the image left or right, but I need the whole image to be displayed. I have moved the size slider all the way to the left, but it still doesn't show the whole image left to right.
    Is there a rule of thumb for image dimensions for slideshows so that the WHOLE image gets displayed - there doesn't seem to be any way to resize images in iPhoto apart from cropping which isn't the same thing?
    I'm trying to make a looping slideshow to burn to DVD that will be viewed on a standard HDTV ie. the DVD will autorun when inserted into a DVD player and will then keep looping until manually stopped.
    Any help much appreciated!
    Thx

    Thx Terence.. I've tried this and while it does help the left to right edge issue somewhat, the top and bottom of the images are now being cut off - lot's of disappearing heads and legs etc. with just the middle of the body showing - and no way of resizing the image so that the whole image is shown!
    What I need is the WHOLE image to display as it should - given that there is a trade off of black or white background where the image doesn't cover. Eg. in a portrait image where there is blank space to left and right or landscape with blank space top and bottom. It seems to be that the image is expanded to fit in some way by checking the 'scale photos to fit screen' box - not ideal really. Which brings me back to my original question of what are the correct image dimensions, so that the whole image gets displayed for viewing on a HDTV (16:9)?
    Thx again for your time..

  • Aperture/Photoshop plug in and image size

    I'm having a problem I don't really understand.  I have Aperture 3 and I have CS5 that I'm trying to use as a plug-in for Aperture.  This is half an Aperture question and half a Photoshop one so I hope someone can answer it for me.
    In Photoshop I made an "action" that is a sort of raised beveled watermark for my photos. 
    I open one of my images in Aperture and "fix" it - soften the skin, blur the background (whatever...) then I go to the top menu item "Photos" and go down and pick "edit with Adobe CS5."  And my image opens in Photoshop.  I go to the menu and pick the watermark action but when it works my watermark can't really be "read" because it's not fitting on the photo, it's too big and falls off the edges.  The photo is 1241x1280 px.
    But here is the odd thing.  If I take that same photo, the very same size 1241x1280 and open it directly in photoshop, completely bypass Aperture, and run the watermark action, it's actually a bit small (but usable) it fits fine in the very same photo!  When I check the image size in Photoshop it is the same size (regardless of if I open in photoshop directly or go there from Aperture).
    So this problem only seems to happen when I edit the photo from Aperture.  I'm new to both Aperture and Photoshop (crazy to try and learn 2 programs at once) and I don't know if I can make just the watermark layer in photoshop smaller.  But again it fits fine if I apply it directly from Photoshop bypassing Aperture.
    Does anyone know why this happens and how I can make the watermark work?  Or can I make a watermark in Aperture?
    Thanks for any help,
    Susan

    Like I said when I rescale it they way you said to do in photoshop it changes the size and distorts it a bit.
    If you hold down the 'Shift + Option' keys while scaling, the text, shape or raster object will not distort and will resize from the center (AKA - maintain aspect ratio).
    I run the full version of PS, so am not sure if the commands are exactly the same if you are running PS Elements, but there is a command at 'Layer menu > Layer Style > Scale Effects..' which can be used for scaling the bevel settings to match the scaling of the watermark item.
    One exact way to do this in PS full version is to choose the Edit > Transform > Scale command and then use the option bar fields under the main menu bar to change the 'H' (Height) and 'W' (Width) percentages equally (to say 70% in each) and then use the aforementioned 'Layer........Scale Effects' command and enter 70% in that dialog. This should reduce the watermark and effects appropriately without distortion.
    Note - indeed both programs are very deep (especially PS), but that just gives you more fun to learn as you go. Don't worry about mastering either, just work within a structured workflow so you can take the steps at your own pace.
    Again, I am not sure what version of PS you are running, but the one book I suggest looking into more than any other is at the link below. It is somewhat dated, but the information is completely relevant and covers the general usage of Photoshop to make anyone comfortable with the tool set.

    The companion website is still up and you can download all the images used in the book if you want to practice on the same images he outlines. Well worth a look if you want to learn Photoshop.

  • Image size for ibooks author

    Hi
    I am making a book using iBooks author. It will be image heavy. (40-50 images)
    I have a few question on images.
    1. I do not want the file to be huge or take an age to download so an Apple rep informed me that the images should ideally be no more than 500-600kb per image saved at 72dpi
    Forgve my ignorance but can someone eplain to me what this means in terms of pixels?  What size (height and width) and resolution (pixels per inch) should I save images so that they can be seen at their best but not be overly large?
    The finder window when I try to resize images gives me some standard options. Should I take these?  Also if I click on 1024 x 768 pixels as a standard size, the width and height boxes do not change.
    I'm a little confused.
    Many thanks

    This thread is over 12 months old now...perhaps you posted here by mistake. Your problems have slready had rep,ies in another thread, however to answer your question..
    No, iBA does not seem to change image  size....which is why you see posts about tickets for images size  in books held back by the review team.
    Consider that Apple gave you free use of iBA. Pages, inDesign and others come at a cost.
    If you intend to create other books with a high photo image content, you really need to consider investing in suitable software.
    I suggest you search the net for "photo image  editors"  or similar, dont wait for iBA updates..I doubt Apple will address image sizing and "cropping" can effectively be done using the image mask.
    As in all projects be it eBooks, making kitchen tables or building  a tree house...its sensible to gather all your assets and ensure they are suitable for the planned use....before starting the construction process.

  • Image size for playbook wallpaper

    What is the image size supposed to be for the wallpapers on the playbook?
    I have been tinkering with wallpapers, and read where the image needs to be 1024x600.  I have tried files of this size and the playbook cuts off the edges.
    I have ended up creating images that are originally 1024x600 and then just expanding the canvas to 1300x1300 to get the image to look correctly.  And these only work in landscape.  It is a whole different ball game in portrait,
    I was able to get 1 image to work both landscape and potrait, but that was a simple circular logo originally scaled to 1024x600, then the canvas opened to 1250x1250.  That one worked descently.
    Also, an idea for RIM, allow different wallpapers in landscape and potrait.  This way we can have an image that sits like we want it so we can see what we want.  Just an idea.  Thank you.

  • Calculating max image size for PNG inside an app?

    This should be simple, considering that Apple has published a formula for the max image size that an iPad will display. Here are the details ...
    I'm creating a "zoomable" image for use in an app. The PNG is fed into the app via an iframe. It's zoomable because the dimensions stated in the HTML are smaller than the real image dimensions. The person looking at the app uses the "finger spread" method to make the image expand. Sounds odd, but it works. Base image resolution is 264px for retina displays.
    Yesterday I tried an image that was 2768 x 4221 pixels and the app simply refused to display it. When I changed it to 1000 x 1525 it displayed fine. Problem is, that should not have worked. Apple says the max pixels for an image on iPad cannot be more than "width x height = 3 x 1024 x 1024"  That base formula works out to 3,145,728 pixels. Using Apple's math, my image that displays fine has a total size of 4,575,000.
    So I'm confused about how to calculate the correct max image size. Apple's formula looks pretty simple but I apparently broke their rule and got away with it. Help?

    Arggg.-
    The multiplier "3" is only applied on the "1024 x 1024" side, not also on the side where the developer's image width and height are multiplied.

  • What image size for full page photo?

    What image size is required to be able to create a single full page photo in an iPhoto book?
    I shoot in RAW and use Lightroom for most of my photography. However, for family pictures, I'd like to create an iPhoto book. I exported from Lightroom as 100% quality jPEGs / at 320 dpi / small side 2000 pixels -- but I still get a triangle warning that this is not big enough for a single photo page. What dimensions/resolution is required to put one photo on a page?
    By the way, would you recommend jPEG? I tried TIFF and while those file sizes much larger, I still get warning triangle?
    Finally, when I re-import to the new size that someone hopefully will recommend, how do I delete my old (too small) images in iPhoto?

    AEPC
    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    In iPhoto '08 & '09 the warning comes on if a photo is below 180 dpi - so for 8.5 x 11 you need a minimum photo size of 1530 x 1980 pixels - and remember is you zoom or crop the photo in the book the area you actually printing must be that - not the original sized photo
    The format of the photo (TIFF or JPEG) makes no difference in the warning symbol only the pixel size
