Pixels and size???

I would like to create a iDVD movie of my wedding pictures. I am editing them on iphoto. My question involves the constrain editing tool. There is button for DVD contrain and when I click on it, it crops my picture in thirds. I thought it might shrink it to fit the size. Being new to this, I am not quite sure what to do. Does that mean the picture that was cropped to thirds will only show that cropping on the DVD even if I didn't choose that as a constraint? What should the pixel and size be for a photo I am using on a DVD to get the best quality? I read in a former discussion that I need to resize photos on export, but isn't that just tedious? Why wouldn't iphoto include a resizing tool in their edit program? Or am I missing something? Many questions, I know. Thanks for any answers.

I'm not an expert but I did create an iMovie from stills and I put it onto DVD a while back.
Does each picture need to be 4x3 (the dvd size stated).<<<</div>
Nope. Mine varied all over the map. However, when you view on a computer monitor or a conventional TV, anything other than 4X3 will have black bands to fill up the empty space. That's NOT a size - it's an "aspect ratio" - width X height ratio.
On the help page, it says standard needs to be 720 x 540.<<<</div>
That figure sounds like the pixel count for a conventional TV. If your photo has fewer pixels, the image will not fill the screen. If your photo has more pixels, the screen will show only a portion. Bottom line is that one pixel in your photo becomes one pixel on the screen. You'll have a worse situation with computer monitors because the resolution is configurable.
Also, how do I know if the resolution is good enough to print?<<<</div>
Ummm... In your first post, you said that you want to create a movie. You're not going to print from a movie.

Pixels and document size differences in Illustrator compared to Photoshop

Why is the pixel ratio of a project in illustrator different than that of the same pixel ratio of a project in Photoshop? Example: A project can in Illustrator can have an artboard of 950px X 950px and be 12in and in Photoshop that same pixel ratio will be 4 3/4in.

The rulers in Illustrator are always with fixed ratio of 1 inch = 72 pixels (72 ppi), you can check this by right clicking on the ruler and choosing inches or pixels and you will see that 950 px will be 13.9 inches and not 12 inches as you stated.
The ratio of the rulers in Photoshop depends on the ppi resolution of the image set by the user in the Image Size dialog box. If choose Image > Image size, and set the Resolution to 72 pixels/inch (ppi) then the ratio of the rulers in Photoshop will match Illustrator. If you set it to something else they will not, in your case with an image with sides of 4.75 inches in Photoshop the Resolution will be 200 ppi in order to contain 950 pixels per side.
When you save an image from Photoshop that contains metadata it has information about the size of the document in inches and pixels. Illustrator will place such images with the size of the inches not the pixels as indicated on the Illustrator rulers, internally however the image will contain all the pixels as indicated next to the PPI on the Control bar under the main menu when image is selected. These internal (actual) image pixels will be used when printing and when zooming on screen to render the image. Also if you copy from Photoshop and paste in Illustrator, it also will paste with the size of the inches and not the pixels (at least this is how it works with CS5 on Windows)
If the placed image is without metadata Illustrator will always place it assuming 72 px = 1 inch (72 ppi). You can check that if in Photoshop save an image using Save for Web and Devices and choose None for Metadata.

Maintain pixels and change size

I need help trying to make web ready images in Photoshop.I can resample and maintain the pixels, but as soon as I change the dpi from 300 to 72, the size changes. How can I maintain the pixels and change the physical size? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for responding so quickly.
The customer in question requires the images to be used for the web and that
they have to be at least 1000 pixels wide. Is this not rather large for a
web image?

Greencard application: I need to downsize a pic to 240kb, but it has to be 600 x 600 pixels, and I don't know how to get the size that small whilst retaining those pixel dimensions??? Help!

Hi! I'm trying to get the correct image size for a pic I need for a Greencard application for the US. My friend took the photo on a DLSR. I set up a Photoshop document measuring 600 x 600 pixels, the size needed by the application document, but I can't get the image smaller than around 550kb. When I "save as JPEG" in Photoshop, no matter how poor the quality slider, the image stays around 1MB. Is there another way to get the image down to 240kb @ 600 x 600 pixels??????

The file opened and cropped in photoshop was a camera raw file?

Location and size of hotspot in a packaged file

Hi all,
I'm working on a authorware program in which I want to use the location ans size of a clicked hotspot to draw a rectangle. Ultimately, I would like to be able to change the size/position of a hotspot, and when packaged, the rectangle should be drawn at the new position of the hotspot, with the new size. So far, I've been succesful in an unpackaged file with:
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awSizeX))
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awSizeY))
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awLocationX)
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awLocationY)
where Title is the title of the clicked hotspot. So far so good... BUT I learned the hard way that GetIconProperty() does not work in a packaged authorware file (next time I'll first read the help section better!). My question: how can I obtain the same information in a packaged authorware file?
I have been looking at the GetSpriteProperty() function, which should work in a packaged file. However, the hotspots are not sprites, and I don't know what spriteproperties I should use for the location and size of the hotspot (#awSizeX, #awSizeY, #awLocationY, & #awLocationX don't work). Furthermore, GetPostPoint does provide the position of the top left pixel position of the hotspot, but I need separate X and Y values for the position of the hotpot to be able to use the Box() function to draw the rectangle. And I need the of the hotspot as well. Lastly, PositionY@Title and PositionX@Title don't work for my hotspots (the value is always 0 and does not change when clicking the hotspots).
I could solve the problem by making variables of all the position values and size values of all the hotspots, but then I would not be able to change the position and size of the hotspot by dragging, and changing the rectangle accordingly.
I would be more than happy to hear if anyone has a solution for me.
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your suggestions! Regarding your first thought: I don't know what you mean by making my clickable area a hit *object. I've tried the help pages of authorware, but it drew a blank. Could you explain how I can make my clickable area a hit *object?
Regarding clickX/Y: the values depend on the exact location where the user clicks, therefore drawing a rectangle over a picture (which is not moving) is difficult using clickX/Y. I would like the rectangle to appear on a certain spot (namely on the position of the hotspot, with the same width & height), regardless where in the hotspot the user clicks.

My refurbished rMBP 15" has a stuck (white) pixel and is still under the 1 year limited warranty, can/will Apple repair it if I go to an Apple Store?

Hi, my refurbished rMBP 15" has a stuck (white) pixel and is still under the 1 year limited warranty, can/will Apple repair it if I go to an Apple Store?
I just discovered today that my MacBook has a "stuck" pixel. I read that the display has to have at least 5 dead/stuck pixels else Apple is not going to repair it, is it true? My warranty expires in 1 month so I can't really wait for 4 more pixels to die or get stuck.
Temporary fix:
I know that this is something I can't really repair myself, but I tried some things such as changing the display resolution to it's "Full" 2880x1800 resolution and It actually reduced the size of the stuck pixel.
Thank You,
Etienne

Previews in Bridge get pixelated and discolored after adjustments?

Hello, I'm using Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64 via Photoshop CS6. I'm processing some low-light nighttime photos that require me to boost the "shadows" slider most of the way to the right to get the look I need. After doing this, I've noticed that the previews in Bridge look pixelated and purple in all of the shadow areas.
Is there a way to solve this?
Screen shot attached. It makes the previews nearly worthless.

I don't see that option. Here's what the "Thumbnail" tab of my options looks like:
The thumbnails do show the same weird color effects, but I'm far more concerned with the previews than the thumbnails.
Other settings that seem like they might be relevant:
"Keep 100% Previews In Cache" is checked (under Cache tab)
"Generate Monitor-Size Previews" is checked (under Advanced)
"Preserve Embedded Color Profile" is checked (under Output)
Thanks for troubleshooting with me . . .

How do I set up pixels and resolution to print out my illustration?

I want to print my illustration which I'm going to paint on Photoshop 5 to the size of 8x10(inch) at Walgreens.com. How do I set up the pixels and resolutions in Photoshop to start with?
There was a guideline at Walgreens Photo site, and it says "Minimum Recommended Image Resolution for 8x10 (inch) is 900x720 pixels." But when I set up the width and height of pixels to 900x720 and resolution at 360 and then painted there, the print outcome was chopped off at top and bottom (I selected 8x10 print size.)
How can I set up the right way so I can print right?
Thank you!

OK, it says minimum requirements. Which makes sense, the quality would be horrible below 112 ppi.
8" x 200ppi = 1600px
10" x 200ppi = 2000px
900px / 8" = 112.5ppi
720px / 10" = 72ppi
Can you see in the above math why part of the picture would be chopped off.
Lets do it this way:
900px / 72ppi = 12.5"
720px / 72ppi = 10"
900px / 360ppi = 2.5"
720px / 360pp = 2"
10" X 360ppi = 3600px
8" X 360ppi = 2880px
If you specify ppi you must specify the physical dimensions (inches) Especially when the printed paper is a known variable. The pixel dimensions they mentioned was a guideline not a requirement. They only wanted to make sure the quality did not fall below that value.

Simulations, pixels and repainting

Currently im trying to simulate a model of a few thousand objects (existing as species) and moving hunting etc as defined by code that i've already tested to work fine. My problem however comes to the GUI side of things, how for instance do you draw just 1 pixel? Does this become a Rectangle I need to fill which is 1*1 pixel in size? Or is there some kind of functionality to paint just one single pixel.
Following from this is my use of the repaint method. How can I go about 'repainting' a window without having to make it invisible and just draw a whole new one? I read the API referring to how JLabel's inherit repaint from about 30 different locations and decided to test out the simplest one where I pass the label.repaint(label), after having change the foreground, background, etc but it doesn't actually repaint it.
If someone could literally give me the code to draw a dot and then show me how they would move the dot to the right for instance (covering up the dot's tracks with the background colour) it would be massively appreciated.

Here's a short sample app that will show you the basics of one way to do this.
package com.sun.java.forums;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.Timer;
public class LifePanel extends JPanel
     List<Point> pointsToPaint;
     public LifePanel()
          super();
          pointsToPaint = new Vector<Point>();
     public void setPoints(List<Point> points)
          this.pointsToPaint = points;
     @Override
     protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
          Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
          // fill in the background
          g2d.setColor(getBackground());
          g2d.fill(g2d.getClip());
          // fill in the pixels
          g2d.setColor(getForeground());
          for (Point p: pointsToPaint)
               g2d.fillRect(p.x, p.y, 1, 1);
     public static void main(String args[])
          JFrame f = new JFrame();
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          f.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          final LifePanel lp = new LifePanel();
          lp.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
          lp.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
          final Point singlePoint = new Point(0,0);
          List<Point> points = new Vector<Point>();
          points.add(singlePoint);
          lp.setPoints(points);
          f.add(lp,BorderLayout.CENTER);
          f.setSize(400,400);
          f.setVisible(true);
          // move the point every second
          Timer timer = new Timer(250,new ActionListener()
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
                    // move the point 1 to the right and 1 down
                    singlePoint.translate(1, 1);
                    lp.repaint();
          timer.setRepeats(true);
          timer.start();
}This will create a 400 by 400 white area with a little black pixel on it. 4 times per second, the pixel will move to the southeast.
Your app will have much more interesting motion of points, I hope.

Non linearity between pixels and widht for linescan

Hi
I'm developing a width gauge based on a linescan camera.
The gauge is measuring the surface of a steel strip moving at 200m/sec.
I found a non linearity between the relation of pixels and real widht:
1904mm X 6635,6pixels
1308mm X 4616,7pixels
814mm X 2880,6pixels
I've tried the working distances between 2600 to 2800mm.
The field of view is 2200mm.
The focal lengh is 35mm.
The size of CCD is 28.67mm (3.5um X 8192pixels - Basler raL8192-12gm).
Somebody already faced this problem?
Thanks,
Alexandre.

Hi Greg
Thanks for your idea. I implemented a polynomial from Excel according the attached. It's running well until now.
Another problem that I'm facing is the oscilation on the image (https://www.dropbox.com/s/cboyglx74g8sd93/width%20gauge.mp4?dl=0) when the grid and filter are applied. I would like get stable the filtered image and grid from edge detector.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks for the moment.

I have lost the ability to change fonts,use color and size and when I try to write anyone,I cannot see my mailing list and there is no send button.

A few months ago my ability to use different fonts, colors and sizes suddenly disappeared. These choices were always available when looking at my email and I used them regularly . No one I asked ever heard of such a thing happening. I left it alone until I found someone to help. Then, a few days ago, when I clicked "write" , two things happened. First, I could not forward, reply or even see my collected email addresses. Second, there was no longer a place that said "send". My email page filled the entire screen and when I scaled it down, there was still no way to see my list or to send. I am a novice when it comes to fixes and terms but, I have asked people who have some experience with PC's they were stumped. I contacted Fairpoint and they said it must be a Thunderbird problem. Most of the people I asked said they didn't know Thunderbird. One suggested that I reinstall T.bird but, said I also might lose everything on my PC. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks, Jim

When you click Write and open the new message editor, press Alt to show the Menu Bar, then enable all the toolbars under View/Toolbars. Plus, press F9 to show the Contacts sidebar.

I've been using Aperture now for the past 7 months and really happy with it, however in the past two days any photos I download are heavily pixelated and blurry. When I download the same shots to any other program they are fine.

Hi,
I've been using Aperture now for several months without any issues except for the last couple of days...when I now download my shots from the memory card the photos are heavily pixelated and blurry but when loaded to iPhoto they are fine.
Can someone tell me what the problem could be and how to fix it.

Is Aperture doing any processing? ("Window→Show Activity" -- anything there?)
Are the Images pixilated/degraded when shown in the Viewer as well as in the Browser? (Double-click an Image to open it in the Viewer.)
How 'bout at 100%? (In the Viewer, press "z" to zoom to 100%. The "z" key toggles the zoom.)
Does generating a new Preview remove the pixilation? (Select an Image in the Browser, hold down "{Option}" and click "Photos→Generate Preview".)

I need recommendations in purchasing an external hard drive, to back up everything in my computer. What brand and Size?

I have a mid 2010 iMac, version 10.8.2, memory 4GB, 1TB sata disk.
Apple sent me an e-mail last year stating that my imac maybe affected to a recall. They said I have to back up my computer before sending it in to them. So its a great excuse to purchase an external hard drive.
But I am clueless. I would like to know what brand and size of memory is recommened for my imac and my needs. I will be mostly be backing up homevideos and alot of pictures, music, and some documents.
If someone could also explain about time machine? I guess its a whole separte thing from your media. I also would like to keep it affordable. I just purchased an external hard drive from www.macmall.com Seagate Backup Plus 1TB USB 3.0 Portable Drive - Black (STBU1000100).
But I don't know if that was a really great choice because for it to work with time machine I have to reformat certain things, and Im not sure if I would like to have that hassle.
I also wanted to know whats the difference between usb 3.0 and firewire. I read some forums saying that if you are to transfer videos you need to use firewire, and some agreed disagreed. Is that true?
Please help!?
I definitely would like to know what brands of external hard drives are highly recommended and good at price. The one I purchased is it any good?
Thank you!
