Placing high resolution photographs

I have edited some high resolution photographs in Photoshop, although when I place the image onto my InDesign document I lose a lot of the pictures quality, and when I print the InDesign document you can see all the pixels.
Does anyone have any advise to stop this from happening?
cheers, Natalka

Mike,
You lost me. Are you suggesting those are the total pixel dimension? That's not the case. Those are ppi -- general resolution -- numbers, and are really fairly meaningless in terms of what the quality of the underlying image might be, only an indication of the density you chose to pack the pixels when saved in the editing program. From my perspective seeing a number near 300 ppi in the effective resolution field simply says that there is sufficient image data to give a decent reproduction of the image, at the quality it is, using a halftone linescreen up to 150 lpi or maybe even 200 lpi if you aren't too fussy.
That doesn't mean a fuzzy image will be sharp, or that an upsampled screen capture will no longer look jagged, which is where I think Ken was headed earlier.
If the screen preview looks pixelated it could still be a display quality issue, even with High Quality Display selected, if preserve object level display options is enabled and the object is set to a lower level, or if someone has edited the quality settings in the preferences to render High Quality as a lower resolution preview (you can even set it to show the gray proxy in HQ, if it suits you), so there are a couple of other things to check.
Resetting Send Image Data in the print dialog from Optimized Subsampling to All should provide the best possible output, so if the prints look bad I'd go back and look at the image. Print one at the same size directly from Photoshop for comparison.
We haven't addressed yet, I think, whether there is any issue with color conversion. Perhaps that's part of what the OP is seeing when they say the image looks bad.

  • Office 7500A E910 prints high resolution document in 1/4 size

    I am trying to print a 25 Mb A4-size document full of pictures in a 300 dpi resolution from Adobe photoshop (PC-version)  to my newly aquired Officejet 7500A Wide format networked printer. The documents prints to another printer (HP 2800 laserjet) without any problems. With the 7500A, it prints successfully when I print with the below normal quality selected in the paper/quality print choice, but when I choose normal or best quality, the document is scaled down to the upper quarter corner of the A4 paper I print to.
    I have tried to print to high quality hp papers (eg. the HP premium plus paper) without any difference shown. I am using color printing. The original I am printing from is black/white-pictures, however, but I assume this is not the reason?
    If I print from Photoshop to a high quality pdf-file, then print that at 600 dpi to my officejet 7500A, the file prints ok. The resulting pdf file is 4,5 Mb, can file size be the issue? 
    Since I bought this printer to print high resolution photographs in a large format, I really hope someone can help me...

  • In placing a high resolution jpg into InDesign some whites tended to gray out. Why?

    In placing a high resolution jpg into InDesign some whites tended to gray out. Why?

    Have you checked the whites in Photoshop and made sure they are all 255|255|255? Depending on the compression used, JPEGs can have artifacts in an otherwise white field like in the edges of this low quality jpeg:

  • Sending "high resolution" image to a magazine

    Greetings,
    I have to send a "high resolution" image to a magazine, but I don't know what they mean exactly. I guess I need to send the highest quality photo possible. What export settings do I use in Aperture? I shot the image with a Nikon D40 (6mp) in RAW that was originally in iPhoto then imported to Aperture 3. What ppi, what resolution? TIFF or JPEG? Frankly, I'm lost. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hi
    Usually magazine's specify what criteria they want when taking photographs,ppi for example, it could be worth asking them.
    For example most people edit in the sRGB colour range but frequently magazine's ask for Adobe1998 colour range, you will have to check...
    you can export from Aperture in whatever format you like...
    In Aperture select (left click) the photo's you wish to export > then go to file > export > version
    Or just right click the photo > Export > Version.
    In the window that appears where it says 'Export Preset' > click the drop down arrow and select >Edit
    Here another window appears and you can choose whatever format you would like to export your photo as..... click ok when you are done. you can export to your desktop then burn to disc or email to your editor.
    Aperture exports only a full res 'version' or copy, of your picture, your original remains with you.
    Dont forget to append your personal data to the picture. ie copyright, contact details etc you can do this in the metadata tab in the library editor in Aperture (left hand side of your screen)
    Tiff is the largest file size but I would definitely give them a call and get their specification from them, that way you wont hack the editor off by supplying the wrong format and miss the deadline.... or sale of your picture.
    Hope this helps

  • Replace photos with higher resolution versions?

    A professional photographer sent me a DVD with about 1,000 photos on it from an event I hosted.  I imported them all into iPhoto and made a couple of photo books out of them (but didn't yet get them printed).  I noticed the resolution wasn't what I expected, so the photographer sent me a new DVD with higher resolution versions.  Same filenames.  Is there any way to import the new versions into iPhoto, replacing the old ones?  Ideally they would appear in the photo books, too!  I'd hate to have to spend hours recreating what I did.
    Thanks!

    I don't think so, iPhoto is designed to prevent "collisions" between similar file names, so you can't just import them. You would have to do major surgery to the iPhoto Library, which is not a good idea. And still might not work.
    I think you should just re-import and start over.

  • Change dimensions of 'high resolution photos' for digital printing

    Hi,
    We recently placed a huge order, received our photos, and all of them had been blown up larger than what appeared in the album, heads were cut off, arms cut off, pictures were not centered. This was a problem for 4"by6" size, 5"by7", and 8"by10". When we inquired as to why and we were told that because we used 'high resolution' that the photos would come out larger no matter what company we used to process the digital prints. We were told that we could change the dimensions of each photo (squashing the photo to fit) but we don't know how to do that. Also, is there a way to do this to all of the photos at the same time?
    Please explain, we don't know what to do at this point.
    We're very sad right now.

    The company already told me that they will refund my money so that is not the problem.
    The ratio differences is what the person told me initially too, however told me that I could also change the dimensions so that the photos would not be cropped and centered automatically...but that's not what I want to do, as it would leave white space on the sides and top, and I have several that I want to frame.
    So what do I do now? I have 100's of pictures and over 90% of them have this problem. I used your software to enhance the photos, crop the photos, etc... but I don't see an area that explains to me what part of the image will be cropped out once they are sent out to print. Nor to I see an area that gives me a rectangular dimension to work from. If I have to crop these pictures to get them to turn out right, I need to get started on this right away.
    When I print these on my own printer they seem to print just fine. There are too many to print this way, however.

  • AIR for iOS: Severe performance drop using "high resolution" published app on retina iPhone

    I have created a very simple test app the simply draws a line from the previous to the current mouse/touch position after MOUSE_MOVE is detected. I published the app, stage size 320x480, in both "standard" and "high" resolution using AIR for iOS and added each to two different iPhones, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S. I published again, stage size 640x960 in standard and high resolution and placed on both phones.
    320x640 Flash stage size
    - standard resolution on iPhone 3GS: works as expected, no hitches.
    - high resolution on iPhone 3GS: works as expected
    - standard resolution on iPhone 4S: works as expected
    - high resolution on iPhone 4S: hangs occasionally and predictably for a half second or so once 20-30 points have been added to the drawing. Of the 4 tests at 320x640 this is the only one that displays at high res.
    640x960 Flash stage size
    Everything was the same as above. The only test here that diplayed at high res was the high res publish on the iphone 4s as expected. Which showed the same poor performace as above.
    Perhaps this has something to do with the upscaled application trying to keep track of mouse position but I'm stumped. Any ideas?

    I create an app for kids that draws using MOUSE_MOVE, KidFunKit. It's a retina display high-res app, using AIR 2.6 I got performing issues, after I couple of lines were drawn. Using AIR 3.0, it works nice. Obviously if your frame rate is 60 ... you'll expect lack of performance. You may try Starling Framework based on STAGE3D if you want the most of AS3.

  • How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display?

    How can I open Adobe Bridge CS6 in high resolution on my MacBook Pro Retina display? When I click Get Info, the "Open in Low Resolution" box is marked and locked. How can I unmark this box? I currently run 10.9.1. I can open Adobe Photoshop CS6 in high resolution without any problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no such thing. In CS6 only PS itself is Retina compatible. You would have to use CC for full Retina support.

  • What is the best way to save and copy high resolution slide show?

    Creating and saving/burning slide shows in iMovie or iDVD does not appear to give the same high resolution as playing slide shows directly from iPhoto.  Resolution is also lost when exporting the slide show to iTunes.  Is there a recommended technique to preserve resolution when saving a slide show?

    Click the "Export" icon on the bottom of the application window.
    Click the "Custom Export..." button on the bottom left hand side of the new menu that appears at the top of the application window.
    At the bottom of the next window click the "Options..." button.
    Under the "Video" setting, click the "Size..." button.
    Next to "Dimensions:" click the "Compressor native" drop down menu.
    In there you have "1920 x 1080 HD".
    There are a bunch of other options, so explore and find what works best for you.

  • High ram usage when loading high resolution images

    Hello,
    I'm wondering why Firefox almost hangs my system while opening high-resolution images like this one (save your data, you have been warned):

  • Low resolution Illustrator file needs to be changed to high resolution?

    I created a logo for a client in Illustrator that they were going to use on large format banners.  The file contained one Photoshop image that I  imported into my Illustrator file and changed into a vector object.  I also outlined all type.  The only other items on the logo were colors done in CMYK.  The client now says the overall image was done in 'low resolution' and needs to be in 'high resolution' but I'm confused about what part of the design she would be referring to (as, as far as I know) there are no pixels that would pertain to resolution - (unless the CMYK color builds translate into a problem?).
    As she is a new designer for a client (my friend) I'd like to get some feedback before I just ask her what she's talking about and embarrasing her (or me).
    Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    I'll note... after reviewing my file, the only other thing I noticed was under Document Setup, the Transparency preset was at 'Medium' instead of 'High' resolution, but here again, I thought this was a non-factor because as far as I know there is no 'transparency' (no jpegs, effects, etc.)... just the vector items that I noted.

  • How to fix lost connections to original high-resolution pictures in iPhoto and how to import an iPhoto Book from one iPhoto library to another

    Hi there,
    I am using a MBP Pro with 8 GB cache and 1 TB HDD from beginning of 2011 with OS X Yosemite and iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29).
    I created an iPhoto Book to print which contains my best pictures of 2013 and 2014. Then I got an error message when I wanted to print the book, saying (translated from German):
    Book could not be created.
    With photo p233432343.jpg there was an error. The original version of that photo with full resolution could not be found or is damaged. Please replace the photo or delete it from your book.
    When I enquired further, I found out, that many, many pictures in my iPhoto library have that problem - only the thumbnail picture is found by iPhoto, but not the one with the high resolution. When looking at the photos in detail one sees that they are not sharp because obviously the photo book only refers to the thumbnail. When I went into the iPhoto Library using Finder, I saw that the original high res photos are still there. As there are an estimated 3000 photos with a lost connection (some still have, it but about 1/2 of my photos don´t), it does not make sense to import those photos manually. This photo book is just the tip of the iceberg, so to say.
    Then I looked for solutions in some forums. I had two lPhoto libraries, one on my HDD (120GB) and one on an external HDD (175GB). Assuming there might be problems, I have deleted (moved) the one on my HDD, because the "right one" is the one on my external HDD and started iPHoto again using the alt key. But that did not work either.
    I then tried to repair my iPhoto library using iPhoto Library Manager, and merged and rebuilt libraries. The library that came out was crap - all folders that had lost connections to the high resolution pictures now have zero photos in it. Also it is lacking the projects, including the photo book I created.
    Then I went to find out if there is a way to import the iphoto book project from the old, corrupt library into the new, repaired library but could not find anything. It can only be exported as a file structure or website. As the file structure is missing the high res pictures, that does not even solve the "little" problem of the photobook.
    I would REALLY appreciate your help on the two questions:
    1- Can you advise what I need to to do to to get the connection to the high resolution photos established again  ? As it is more than 3000 photos, I use an automated way of reestablishing that connection. Probably an answer to this question would make question 2 irrelevant.
    2- Do you know if there is a way to export and import a book project created in iPhoto from one library to another ?

    1 - Select  the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder. 
    You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also.  Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located.  Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
    If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like   SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered.   If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files.  However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
    2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library. 

  • Forum oddity, w.r.t high resolution screen.

    I started a thread on Windows/ Photoshop entitled "CS4 with a high resolution screen". People have replied to this, according to e-mail direct response. However, it is not on the list of forums, and neither does it appear on 'search'.
    To repeat: we have a high resolution HP LP 3065 screen, which supports up to 2560 x 1600 pixels. At this resolution, images are still less than print size, but CS4 is essentially unusable because the menu text and other icons do not scale. Does anyone know if it is possible to manage this silly interface to allow the user to see what they are doing? Is there even a visual disability option? Even MS Office 2000 - ten years old - allows "large icons".
    If not, I think this is another way in which CS4 is in fact worse than CS3, which (mostly) used the Windows UI and which was therefore considerably more flexible. The screen in question is supported by dual DVI connections to an Nvidia FX3700 card - a CUDA multiprocessor device optimised for 2D images and CAD - and an eight processor, 3 GHz machine. With all of this processor power, CS4 is still much slower than CS3 on a single processor laptop. The paint follows the pen by several centimetres, like early Photoshop on a pre-Pentium processor.

    I started this by saying that through an oddity of this forum software, my original thread had vanished from the list. Exactly the same thing happened to this one, which i had to find through searching the forum list. The previous one vanished completely. One appears to get a different list if one comes in via a direct URL or via support > Forums > windows: an .asp error, presumably, but Adobe please note.
    Someone asked why use a high res screen. If you work on a large image, you either operate at the pixel level - a plate on a table top if you are at 1020 x 768 and working with a 20 megapixel image - or you shrink the thing down to fit. In the latter case, each pixel that you see is, depending on the native image size, an average of a large number of adjacent pixels. In the case of a 24Meg image and the above screen size, each visible pixel is an average (or however Adobe calculate it) of a bit over 20 pixels from the native image. If you look at 2560 x 1600 you are still seeing a composite, but of a quarter fewer source pixels per point. If you look at the natve image as 'actual pixels', the 'dinner plate' is four time bigger in proportion to that of the SVGA image.
    That said, imagine the layers pallet in which one layer has, let's say, a football set against an group of players , P/shop users will expect to see a black blob representing its position in the layer. At high resolution, however, the blob is represented on the screen by a patch that is smaller than a full stop on a page of type, and essentially invisible from 150 cm from the screen. Thus: squint, lean forward, mutter angrily.
    Why can one not set the icons and the ephemeral facilities such as the layers pallet to be any size you want? It is really very silly.

  • Is there a way to set my camera on my iPhone 5 to take a higher resolution picture

    How can I take a higher resolution pic on my iPhone 5? Please help and it seems like when I upload my pic to the computer or share via email or other media, the resolution is really low. Please help.

    The iPhone always takes photos at its highest resolution. If you share by anything other than copying to your computer via USB or sending via email the resolution will be reduced by the transfer medium. Email gives you a choice of resolutions, however, many email providers will not accept photos at the camera's highest resolution.
    It's also possible that you don't understand how resolution is measured. Image file size has very little to do with image resolution.

Maybe you are looking for
