Placed Image Size and Quality Difference

Hi Everyone,
I'm running Adobe Indesign cs6 Version 8.01
I have a document that is 2048px x 1536px (for iPad Retina display Resolution).
I reszied all my images to be roughly 1140px x 760px at 300PPI
When I place the images in Indesign it Resizes the image to 272px x 180px
The effective pixels are and actual pixels are 300PPI at the resolution I resized them in photoshop according to the links section
The quality of preview is set to High Quality
In the preferences under File Handling Preserve Image Dimensions when Relinking is on
I tried saving the image in Jpeg, Tiff, and PNG formats to solve the problem
I set my default object style to Place Gun Frame and make sure Auto-fit is checked and Content Fitting is set to None.
What can be done to rememdy this problem?
I just want the images I resized in Photoshop CS6 to be placed in the exact dimensions as I resized them to make placing files simple and easy.
If you can please help with this problem as soon as possible I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your quick Reply.
I saved it at 72ppi and the appearance changed to the actual PX dimensions specifed.
Hope Adobe can fix this glitch to adapt display the image using the Pixel dimensions and not the image dimensions (size in inches or points).
Thank you so much.

  • Report on placed image size and resolution?

    I was asked by a client today "does CS4 allow you to create a report of the filenames and the sizes they're  used at?"
    They're getting slides scanned at a higher resolution and the higher the resolution the greater the cost.
    I guess I need: what shows up in the link info panel (actual and effective ppi), the dimension in inches or centimetres, and (ideally) the width and height of the object boxes they're placed in (to make sure the cropping isn't too drastic).
    Anyone know of any scripts or some secret panel that I can't seem to find?

    See this post.
    Might be just what you need, or could be with a bit of tweaking.

  • Understanding Image Sizes and Quality

    I'm new to the printing and dimension specifications in Lightroom.  If I use 250ppi and 2000x2500 but then change that to be able to print a larger image (300ppi  3000x4200 - 10x14x print, for example), what exactly happens to the image when I increases pixels and ppi?  Does it improve/degrade the quality?

    Great advice from dj, a few further points from my own experience:
    In the Print module, changing the Print Resolution setting simply informs LR to resample the image before it is sent to the printer driver (if the default is different to the current configuration). This has no effect whatsoever on your image.
    In the Library module, Exporting the image is per advice from dj
    In the Develop module, cropping the image results in less pixels (when exported)
    Elsewhere in LR, I am not aware of any method of resampling an image to increase pixels (interpolation). I have seen this in Photoshop (Image > Resize) but not LR.
    I think the confusion comes from pixels and ppi. Pixels represents the actual ‘stuff’ in the image, this is not normally modified in LR per advice above. Ppi simply refers to how these pixels are distributed when viewed/printed. If you make the assumption that 72ppi is good enough for screen viewing then a 3000x3000 pixel image would be good for 3000/72 = 41 inches on screen. Assuming 240ppi is good for printing then the same image would be good for 3000/240 = 12.5 inches.
    So ppi ends up being an indicator of view/print quality and nothing whatsoever to do with image quality.
    To answer your questions specifically:
    What exactly happens to the image when I increases pixels and ppi?
    Increasing pixels resamples the image by interpolating adjacent pixels. Not something LR can do as far as I am aware. No additional ‘stuff’ is introduced, therefore no additional image quality.
    Increasing ppi would distribute more ‘stuff’ in a viewed/printed image, thereby increasing the perception of quality.
    Does it improve/degrade the quality?
    Neither increasing pixels (in, say, Photoshop) nor PPI will increase the image quality. PPI would effect the perception of view/print quality per above.
    NB I should also point out that your monitor resolution would also impact the screen view perception of quality.

  • SWF Size and Quality

    Do these settings actually work?
    I have published the same file (consisting of 2 screens) to the three different quality settings: high, medium and low.
    High output - 711kb
    Medium - 352kb
    Low - 352kb.
    So what's the difference between medium and low?

    I am using Captivate 5.
    I am talking about the publish settings - Preferences > Project > SWF size and quality.
    I'm just using the presets that are in Captivate 5 and these are the only settings I am playing with.
    Here's a screenshot:

  • Movie export size not available/balance between size and quality

    Hi,
    I imported some film into iMovie 08 from my Canon HD camcorder, at full 1920 x 1080 size. After I finished editing it, I wanted to export the final movie at 960 x 540. This size is not available under the "standard" share options ("large" is 1280 x 720 and "medium" is I can't remember what exact size but smaller than 960 x 540). Similarly, when I go into "Export using QuickTime" and try to create an H.264 movie there, the 960 x 540 option simply isn't available. What gives?
    The reason I wanted to use this size was to try to cut down on file size. I exported the movie at 1280 x 720 and got a 380Mb file. So I wanted to try it at 960 x 540 and see what difference that made to the file size and quality. Since I couldn't seem to do it using iMovie, I ended up taking the 1280 x 720 video and using ffmpegx to convert it to 960 x 540. The problem is that I ended up with a file that was, bizarrely, even bigger (384Mb), and that had a thin green line across the bottom of the video.
    So, in summary, my three questions are:
    1. Why can't I export from iMovie in 960 x 540?
    2. Why does my ffmpegx conversion result in an even bigger file?
    3. What's the best way for me to get the optimum balance between file size and quality? (For viewing on Apple TV/HD television).
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Another very good 3rd party slideshow application is PhotoPresenter. It has some of the nicest themes I've seen in any slideshow application (including the Apple TV introduction theme) and will export to a variety of sizes up to 720 x 480 which is DV-DVDCPRO - NTSC.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Image size and dimensions in Safari

    Is there a fast method of viewing image size and dimentions in Safari? I can open image in new tab and see its width and height in tab/window name. I can save image to the Desktop and see file size but it's not convenient. Is there some another way without opening an saving image somewhere like Control+click -> Properties?

    Pat,
    You don't need to set the image size as such. The image prints on the page according to two sets of criteria:
    1. Whether you set dpi to custom or a specific value, and
    2. The page margins you set either as a printing once-off, or as a new printing pre-set.
    For example, I print "arty" photos in a portrait format on A4 matte paper. Left and right margins are around 3cm, top margin is around 3cm, bottom margin is around 5 cm (all numbers are from memory...). I have a title just below the image.
    I created this particular page setup for a certain photo and liked it so much I saved it as another print preset. Any photo I print using that preset fits within the margins defined. The very next print might be the same photo, but this time printing A3+ on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl. Choose the photo, select the relevant print pre-set, print. Re-sizing is irrelevant - the print in both cases is coming from the processed raw at maximum resolution.

  • How do you change the image size and resolution in photoshop everytime I change the width the height changes my measurements will not stay

    Can someone assist me with changing image size and resolution.  each time I change the width the height changes and vice/versa?

    There's a chain link between width and height. The point is to keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise your picture would get stretched.
    You click on the chain-link to shut that off and you can adjust width and height separately.
    Also could you give us your version of Photoshop, what OS you are running it on (Windows 7 for example) and what exactly you want to do with your document?
    Resolution is the print term for how many pixels will be printed on an inch of paper. It doesn't apply if your image is intended for screen viewing.

  • Reduce image size and print it out?

    I scanned an image (coloring on a postcard). This size is too big to fit into a 'album' picture in MS Picture It! All I want to do is REDUCE the image and save it so that it will fit into the computer photo album I'm creating.
    I've tried Image/Resize/Image Size and changed the sizing, but it still comes out the exact same size as the original. What am I doing wrong?

    > I want to REDUCE the image, not enlarge it.
    I understood that - what makes you think I didn't?
    > It's 948x645 pixels. I just want the image about an inch (respectively) smaller
    You can't think in terms of inches for screen images. You have to work in pixels and the actual size will depend upon the screen resolution on the machine being used to view the image.
    I'd reduce the pixel size by about 80 to get the effect that you want. Use Image/Resize/Image Size and make sure that you have "Resample" checked.

  • Access image size and color profile

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to access image size and color profile ? If not, will it be possible in CS6 ?
    Thanks.

    Load the external XMP library and get it from that?

  • Image size and type

    what Icon / Image size and type we should use of our own menu ?
    Giuseppe

    Hi Giuseppe,
    I'm not sure what restrictions there are on image type but I always use a 24bit Bitmap image with width 18px and height 14px. For transparency, set the background colour to RGB 192-220-192 and SBO will automatically make this area transparent, regardless of the colour scheme the user has on the client.

  • Taking photos to disk without losing photo size and quality

    I have tried everything I can think of to create photo cd's and dvd's with my photos downloaded to aperture, but every time I try to burn the photos are decreased dramatically in size and quality. I cannot give the cd's to clients, because the photos are no longer enlargeable. Any ideas please help.

  • Checking Image Size and Dimensions

    How do I check the size of an image like a Signature or another image without having to save it and then checking it? Is there a way to check it in Safari?

    What? I don't see "Inspect Element" anywhere.
    Are there any plugins (perhaps at pimpmysafari.com) where we can add functions such as "Properties" for viewing image size and dimensions, as well as "View Image" to view the image by itself? I'm trying to convert from Firefox, but these are a couple of the things getting in the way.

  • Image Sizes and Resolution standards?

    are there any standards for image sizes and resolution for mobile games specifically: backgrounds and backdrops?
    i will be porting my game for various cell phones and i'd like to resize images to fit perfect on all cell phone screens, so what would be the best way to do this and what should my image attributes (height, width) be?
    i've tried researching on google to see if there were any standards and couldn't seem to find any. if these standards are non-existent what image sizes have you used that you found worked best on various mobile phones?
    thanks
    Edited by: sassy on Jun 2, 2008 1:49 PM

    Google's right, there are no real standards for screen sizes. Some are more common than others, but there are dozens of common screen sizes.
    The most common are...
    176x208 (same as 176x220, but with no status bar)
    240x320
    176x220
    [Getjar resolution stats|http://www.mobref.com/statistics/world/gDispResolution]
    Unfortunately, many phones are slightly more or slightly less than those. If you cover those, you're fairly well off though. If you can make your game resolution independent, that's your best option, though with intricate overlays it may be nearly impossible to do.
