Pic image size & dpi with HDV/DVCPro HD editing
I'm editing HDV footage that is being converted to DVCproHD 1920 x 1080 at 60i. My concern is that I am scanning some photos to go with this project and I am used to the specifications for SD/DV editing; 720 x 480 at 72dpi. But what are the best aspect ratio settings for images when using them in 1920 x 1080? Can they be much larger in width & height and at a higher dpi? What is the max dpi I should use and what is the best format for rendering times? I normally use jpg, pict or png. Will TIFF and TARGA render faster?
See your previous post for answers regarding file dimensions. PNG usually works very smoothly in FCP, but I also like PSD (photoshop). Again make sure they are RGB, not CMYK.

Why is iphoto compressing my 300 dpi pics to 72 dpi after I have made edits?
why is iphoto compressing my 300 dpi pics to 72 dpi after I have made edits like color correction?
It is not compressing your photos other than normal JPEG cpompression
DPI is meaningless without inches (Dots per Inch) which digital photos do not have
There is a field in the EXIF data that records a DPI but it is meaningless - basically it says that this photos was displayed on a computer screen which is a 72 DPI device
The photo is exactly the same dimensions and resolution as before editing (unless you cropped it)
See The Myth of DPI for additional information.

Amusing little image size/dpi bug in CS5
Has anyone else discovered PS CS5 applying nearly random dpi settings to newly opened documents? This is not a destructive bug, as far as I can tell, but when I open "Image Size," PS will sometimes give me a whacko value for dpi (something like 1.2 or 3.4) with appropriately expanded dimensions. I then reset the dpi to something sane (72, 300, whatever it ought to be), and the image dimensions return to what they ought to be.
No biggee, but I don't like signs of random mischief in my software, and would like to find out if this is a known issue.
I did, incidentally, run "image size" and "dpi" through the PS help forum search engine to see if this has been discussed recently. Came up with a big "no" both times. Seems like that's another piece of software that is largely decorative.
Thanks for any light,
Richard Hurley
Grass Valley MultiMediaHaven't seen that, but there are bugs in, for example, the JPEG writing software in some cameraphones.
I had one phone that insisted all the photos taken with it were at zero dpi. That caused some problems.
I had a different phone which reported that all photos taken with it were at something like six-million dpi. Closer inspection of the file revealed that it was trying to write some fairly normal dpi, but was getting the byte-order wrong.
If your new images are coming from the same device or application, it might be worth checking the documents in Preview.app, and doing a "Show Inspector" (command-I) on the image and see what Preview thinks about it. -
Image size issues with processing
New to Adobe, I have had several issues with consumers images. I can not find how to save as jpeg and keep photo intergrity. Either the processer (local pharmacy, big name store.. etc) is cropping my images badly. I have been told this is my problem when I save in jpeg format. How do i protect my image? Resize with the pixels? Please help
Hi,
The most likely problem is that your camera is shooting in a different aspect ratio that you are trying to print in. This usually shows up by either cutting the tops/bottoms off or by cutting the sides off. Alternatively you may get a border top/bottom or sides.
If that is the problem, you will need to crop the photo before getting it printed.
So that we can help, can you please answer some questions.
1) What operating system are you using?
2) What version of PSE are you using?
3) What are the pixel dimensions of the photo or what camera are you using?
4) What size of photo are you trying to print (6" x 4"?) ?

Image size problem with Retina Macbook Pro
I exported raw images to Jpg and then resized as 1200 x 800 resolution images through "Easy batch Pro" app. When I uploaded them, they were extremely large. I've tried it several times and the result was always the same. Is it a problem with "Easy batch Pro" app, or something with Retina Display resolution? I also resized them as small size like 600x400, but the image was totally broke, and apparently had different look when I saw the original via aperture. What should I do?
What's the problem exactly? Call and complain. It's up to them on how they want to handle it, but if it's something normal or minor, they'll just fix the issue under warranty and send you on your way. That's how warranty works. In instances where a user has had repetative failure of the same kind or others with the same system, a complete replacement was done, but those were issues that border on the "it's a lemon" idea.

Is it possible to reset the default image size for VIEW in photoshop elements EDIT menu?
When I go into the Edit menu, I have to click on "Fit on Screen" to enlarge the view. Is there a way to change the default size of the Edit image so that the larger size I get with "Fit on Screen" is the new default?"
Not as far as I know. PSE opens a new image in the editing window according to its own internal formula for size.

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.

Change image from 300 to 72 dpi with Photoshop elements 13?
Want to buy an image for a Kindle cover which is only available in the size required by Kindle as a 300 dpi image.Can I change It to 72 dpi with my Photoshop elements 13?
So, on a copy I made of the image I want,I did go to "file", Then "save for Web", and made the long size 800 pixels, and saved that as JPEG..
But in that particular window, I didn't see "Constrain proportions" anywhere.
Yesterday,with that image, I did go "image" and then "resize", and did have checked "constrain proportions". That is, I'm presently working with a resized image, that includes a few text inserts and one simple custom shape..
But do I have to start with a fresh, Unedited image?
You continue to be marvelous help. I'm so grateful. -
Dear All
I am big Aperture user, but a bit of a technical novice I'm afraid - at least when it comes to DPI....
I take RAWs on my 5d Mk 2. Image files are procesed in Aperture / Photoshop. I then export JPEGS for distribution (Apple TV, prints for friends and family, burning to DVD etc)
I export full size JPEGS (image sizes can be about 25meg).
My question is....what DPI should I have Aperture set on to ensure top quality prints? I normally print 9 x 6, but would want the ability to increase sizes as required.
Is there a relationship / optimum setting between DPI and image size? Should I alter this if the JPEG is for different uses (priniting, burning to DVD etc).
Many thanks for any help
PaulPaul,
Photos from your camera and in Aperture have a dimension in pixels -- your camera can produce image files of 5,616 x 3,744 pixels. It is only when setting a resolution that ppi (pixels per inch) comes into play -- the total number of pixels is independent of that resolution. Printers reference quality as dpi, and this does not directly reference any ppi, but of course the ppi may limit what dpi the printer can actually apply. When printing from Aperture the pixels (if cropped, those remaining) will all be used and the ppi will automatically be adjusted to fit the paper size you are intending to use. If you are printing from Aperture, there is no reason to convert to a JPEG to use for that purpose.
If you do convert and export a JPEG, then if at original size, the full pixel dimension of the image will be maintained, and if later printing in Photoshop, say, then it will adjust to fit the paper. A JPEG to use with a DVD slideshow will have to be changed to use the pixel dimension that fits the media, but some software will do that behind the scenes, if exporting from Aperture solely for that purpose you might want to customize that to fit within something like 720 x 720, 1024 x 1024, 640 x 640, etc. When this takes place the total pixels are resampled, and the image is rescaled to be represented by fewer pixels. Aperture does seem to use PPI and DPI interchangeably, btw, but see:

and

Hello everyone, I'm having some trouble with image sizes.
I created a 977x5000 px image at 72 PX/inch resolution with text for use on a weebly website.
When created the image looks like a small vertical bar(maybe around 50x500px) with a massive left and right photoshop background(not the image background). so if I drag the bottom slider to the left or right the image will completely disappear. I can CTR and + to get it to the correct size so I can actually read the text. I can still go very far left and right with bottom slider. The problem comes in when I save it to a PNG or other file it still shows up as a bar.
Is there any way to fix this so it saves it as the correct viewing size? that way when I open the image it's an actual 977x5000 instead of looking like a 50x500
I'm on Windows 7, my display settings are at 100% and I'm using Photoshop CC 2014You do not understand what is going on at all. First an image file's PX/inch resolution setting is meaningless when it come to the Web and displays all that is meaningful is pixels. For displays are run at one resolution usually their native manufactured Pixel resolution so your image will be displayed at 96DPI on Desktop Displays and a 300+DPI on Phones and around 250DPI on tablets. Your image height is also to large to fit on any display. The Display I think that displays the most pixels is the IBM T221 22.2" LCD 16:10 aspect ratio 3840px by 2400px. at 204DPI. Rotating that display to portrait it can display an image with a height of 3840px your image height is larger 5000. Your image has an aspect ratio in the neighborhood of 1:5 an image 50x500 has an aspect ratio of 1:10 a far cry from 1:5 your image is much wider then 1:10.

as increase DPI, image size is also increase in photoshop scripting can please tell me what will the reason for that?
Hi JJMACK,
I am using adobe Flex with Photoshop scripting . I am sending Flex file with parameter to generate .psd.Right now i am able to generate 72 DPI with proper image size while I am generating .psd with 250 DPI with Improper Size.
E.g
This is my flex parameters

With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?
A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
1
check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
2
in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet. -
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 ?? -
