Placing Images and PPI issues

Hello, I am new to InDesign.. I am a digital artist who has only used PS in the past, so I'm used to manipulating images however I like concerning PPI, DPI, and pixels. I am now creating an app for ipad use and created the background images for the pages in PS. Now, I'm placing them into ID. When I do that, no matter what I have the file saved as, it converts the image to a different ppi.
When I created the images in PS, I used the standard ipad resolution (262px) and dimensions. When I created the ID file, I used the standard ipad dimensions and the ppi is obviously much lower, at 72?
Is there a way to set the ID resolution, or do I need to create my documents with only 72ppi? This doesn't seem like it would give the best image viewing available on the ipad.
Thank you!

InDesign respects the original size and resolution of images, as long as you keep them at 100% of the original size. When they are at 100%, the "Actual ppi" and "Effective ppi" fields of the Info panel display the same value. In your specific case, the Info panel needs to show "262" in both fields. If not, it means that the respective image is scaled. To verify its scale, click the image using the Direct Selection Tool (the "white arrow" one) and look at the percentage fields in the Control Panel. (By the way, the resolution of the retina iPads is 264 ppi, not 262.)
When importing an image, the easiest way to assure that it will be placed at 100% is simply clicking the loaded cursor instead of dragging it. Give it a try.
But bear in mind that this "ppi" issue only matters for print publications. For tablet apps, what is important is the number of pixels; the resolution is irrelevant. For retina iPads, you need to use twice the size you use in a standard screen iPad. So, if you want a full-page image in an old iPad, the image dimensions must be 1024 by 768 pixels. If you want the same image in full screen on a retina iPad, create it with 2048 by 1536 pixels. You'll get a better explanation here: http://www.planetquark.com/2012/03/14/132-ppi-72-dpi-264-ppi-what-image-resolution-should- you-use-the-for-new-ipad/#.UhdbsLwWFL8

  • Placing images and ignore tiff orientation 1

    Is there a way to ignore tiff orientation in an images exif data when placing an image?
    I'm noticing that certain images when placed are automatically rotated.  When I view their thumbnails they are the correct orientation, but when they are placed in my ID document they are rotated 90deg.  The only exif data that looks like it could be affecting this is <tiff:Orientation>1</tiff:Orientation>.

    Thanks for the reply Bob.
    The solutions posted on the supplied link are the same as I have used to correct the issue on a case-by-case scenario.  Perhaps I should have stated all reasoning for disabling the camera's original orientation.  I have a plug-in that auto generates final pdfs based on an indesign document.  The plugin populates image fields with images specified by a csv files.  We have 50,000+ images and growing, and I have no knowledge of which images are going to be used for the final pdf, others are selecting the images.  In the image preview there is no indication of camera orientation that would alter the rotation once placed in the indesign document.
    My original question was if there was a way to ignore the orientation specified by an image, thus not needing to manually scan each pdf then fix the orientation issue and recreate the pdf.
    Any idea if there is a way to disable indesigns automatic camera orientation detection?
    Thanks again,

  • Saving images and catalogue issues.

    Hi,
    I have been using LR for a few months now and have watched countless tutorials (a lot of Adobe.tv) I am having major issues with staying on top of my numbering and filing system and really need some tips. I try and explain.
    When I first open the import box I have a look through and uncheck all the photos I have decided are no good and import the rest, I use the convert to DNG route. I also shoot in both JPEG and RAW, but I don't import the JPEGs, I use them for reference, I add generic keywords and rename with the date (I've still not decided on a naming convention yet)
    I then use the compare function and delete some photos that were otherwise identical, then I work through the photos and edit them. The trouble I have generally begins here. I am happy with the export box and choose my settings, but if I decide to edit any in photoshop I do it through LR and save it as a PSD. So now I have both the PSD and the DNG. If I try and rename them the numbering systemn goes to pot because there's a PSD in there. I also find occasionally that it renames each JPEG and associated DNG file seperately so 40 photos becomes 80
    Then I export my images only to discover the colour is over saturated so I need to re-edit/ import and then this adds to the confusion as I can't replace the current image as I need to figure out what the hell I need to correct!
    In short, I seem to be getting in quite a pickle! I'm not sure I've explained it very well. All I want to do is rename, edit,  export to show off to family and friends, without taking four hours to do eight photos
    Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

    Sorry you've been overlooked.
    Yes you are making things difficult for yourself.
    I recommend you watch some videos on AdobeTV to find out how to get the most from Lightroom with the smallest effort!!

  • PhongMaterial Image and 3D issue

    I've been working with Box and trying to get an image set up.
    According to the API http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/image/Image.html there are a few ways to do it.
    I tried to set it as a file, in the source, or another project, and no luck. Then I tried using the direct link to the JavaFX icon found in the tutorial; however that was for basic images, not for Phong Materials.
    Now there is setDiffuseMap, setSpecularMap, and setBumpMap. When doing each individually it yields a gray box, but when doing all 3 I get a crappy gray version of the JavaFX Logo.
    Now looking up the definitions of each I got that Diffuse is the main color, specular is for shiny objects, and bumps are for bumps :P. The thing is are they supposed to be 3 different images layered together to form 1 image, or what's the deal? Why am I having issues with crappy color, and is there an easier way to do this? What if I want to set each side's image? It seem slike it knew the FX Logo was 2D, so it just mapped it to all 6 sides.
    I should also mention I am using NEtbeansLambda8, with JDK/JRE 8 build 78.

    Okay so I got it to work only when the link was correct THE FIRST TIME. For some reason it was f-xdocuments instead of fx-documents, so when I changed it back, it worked; however only the first time. If I ran the code again it would turn into a normal non-image box. If I switch the image path to and from fx- to f-x and back to fx- it would work again, only once...

  • PPI of image and PPI of hardware device

    I may be getting closer to understanding PPI and
    the comment that some of you state that it does
    not matter.
    When I think of a pixel, I have been thinking or
    referring to the actual pixel of a hardware device
    that gets struck by an electron beam (for CRT's)
    On the other hand, I believe non-hardware types,
    are referring to image pixels (which is probably
    the correct way to think)
    Thus one image pixel could be displayed using
    four device pixels.
    It seems to me that you would want to match up
    the number image pixels with the number of device
    pixels in order to prevent flickering while
    Panning and Zooming.
    The above is not statements of knowledge but
    was meant in the form of a question for
    input thought.

    Hi Gary,
    > When I think of a pixel, I have been thinking or
    > referring to the actual pixel of a hardware device
    > that gets struck by an electron beam (for CRT's)
    A look at http://www.howstuffworks.com/ might help explain the
    differences between display pixels & image PPI & how a CD/DVD player works.
    > Thus one image pixel could be displayed using
    > four device pixels.
    One image pixel = one device pixel. A higher bit per pixel image just
    gives the display device the ability to fine tune each display pixel.
    IOW you can display a 16 bit image in a larger size than a 4 bit image
    before you loose details. A 320 x 200 image even at 32 bits will still
    be pixelated when displayed at 1280 x 1024.
    > It seems to me that you would want to match up
    > the number image pixels with the number of device
    > pixels in order to prevent flickering while
    > Panning and Zooming.
    Think about what you are asking the display software & hardware to do
    while Panning and Zooming. If you are using a smooth pan/zoom you are
    asking the software to interpolate an almost infinite number of images &
    feed those images to the display at the devices refresh rate or faster.
    The flicker is probably caused by the software feeding data faster than
    the device refresh rate & you are getting blank pixels on the display.
    This usually isn't a problem of the display device (TV, monitor) but is
    usually caused by not enough memory or memory that is to slow in the
    device creating the image (CD/DVD player). This happened often on the
    older Dos computers with 8 bit video cards. :-)
    You can get around the flicker problem by using PSE to create closeup
    images of the people you want to zoom in on. Just fade from the group
    image to each of the closeup images. That way you can enhance the close
    up images by smoothing pixelation & even painting in missing or lost
    parts of the person.
    HTH,
    Alex,

  • Image and Wireframe issue?

    I just received a call from a friend that is having an odd problem n FCP 5.1. For some reason, he iis unable to toggle from image+wirframe to image. When he sets the canvas to window, the wireframe is still visible.
    I had him trash the prefs, but it still has this issue.
    Also, he is having an issue with creating a bin inside a bin. when he right-clicks on the bin and selects new bin, the bin does not show up inside the other bin. This is by no means a crucial problem, but I didn't have an answer, so I fiigured I'd through it out there.
    g5 Dual 2Ghz   Mac OS X (10.3.7)  

    Has to set the canvas to 'image" not "window" or "fit to window" which is a sizing command.
    If he right clicks on a bin, then selects create new bin, that bin will be inside the selected bin.

  • Dreamweaver Relative Image and Link Issue

    Hi there
    I have just created a website in Dreamweaver. It previews
    fine in Firefox but when previewing it in IE neither the images are
    loading or the internal links working.
    I think it has something to do with roots or relative linking
    as links are all coming up with
    http://home.html in front of them and
    images
    http://home.html/Assets (assets
    being where images are stored). I hope this isnt too difficult to

  • Image and Jquery issues - help needed

    Let me begin by saying that I have used both of these successfully with pages on my test server and in production.  That said, for whatever reason Dreamweaver is not displaying images called-out in my CSS in either Live View or in browser preview even though they are visible in Design View.  I also can't get jquery slide shows to function in browser preview either - and again the images show up in Design View.  Does this have to do with the fact that I am building this site on my hard-drive and not on a test server?  Has anyone experienced this and then moved their root to a test or production server and had them magically work?

    localhost...
    Image links are (example):
    CSS:
    a.classname {
            width: 60px;
            height: 60px;
            background: transparent url(/images/YouTube_pop.png) no-repeat 0 0;
            float: right;
    HTML:
    <p><a href="http://www.webaddress.com/user/blahblahblah" target="_blank" class="classname"></a></p>
    or
    HTML:
    <img src="images/sld_g04.gif" /> - which shows the images fine in both Live View and browser preview.

  • Is it possible to add keywords, title tags, and alt tags to lightbox images and/or triggers?

    I am building a mobile site that is pretty heavily dependant on lighbox displays for the scroll capability. The issue I have run into is that I need to be able to add alt and title tags to the images in the lightbox (slideshow) to maintain the seo of my site. I have only designed a few of the pages thus far, and the issue I am running across is that once an image is considered a "trigger" by muse I can no longer add the seo elements in the same way I can when it's an image.
    A few ways around this I found are:
    1) export the site to Dreamweaver and then I can go in to the code and add the seo for the images in the lighbox on the backend.
    2) I can build the site image by image and then over lay each trigger for the lighbox slideshow.
    The issue with #1 is that once I export my site to dreamweaver it is then no longer editable in muse. I see this presenting a huge problem as I move forward with new iterations of my website. Any changes made in dreamweaver are not transferable to muse and thus creating two seperate sites. That means I would need to recreate any and all seo built in every time I update the site. This is not really an option and is not efficien at all. Is there a way to jump back and forth between these two products that I am unaware of? That would be most helpful.
    The issue with #2: I have built each project page on the site as mostly large background images with triggers over laid. I did this to try and lower the overall gerth of the site, but it is seeming I am not going to be able to get around this and maintain the seo i am looking for.
    Has any one run into this problem and solved it?
    Here is the site thus far:
    ghatest.businesscatalyst.com
    Thank you for your feedback!

    Placed images and slideshow images support tooltips (the "title" attribute) and alt text via the "Edit Image Properties..." content menu.
    Strictly speaking, background images (fill images) in HTML do not support these tags. That said, in some contexts it may make sense for Muse to enable setting these attributes on an arbitrary object (which may, or may not, have a fill image).

  • How do I place an image and insert a different photo for the "mouse down" state?

    I have placed an image within an accordian widget and when I select the "mouse down" area in the states dialog box, i click "fill" in the toolbar and insert the photo i want to display when the image is clicked but this image is "covered up" by the originally placed image and is not seen in my states dialog box.
    I have done this before when i made rectangles and placed images in rectangles. But i soon realized that you cannot add alternative text to images in rectangles for some frustrating reason.
    How do I place and image and have a different image for the mouse down state?

    Hello,
    This effect can only be achieved when you use the images as a Rectangle Fill. And as you mentioned it above, you cannot add alternative text to images because it is added as a fill and not as a image.
    I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

  • Brush on placed image

    Is it possible to apply a pattern brush to a placed image in Illustrator?

    Illustrator cannot directly edit the pixels in a placed image. You can draw anything possible above a placed image and adjust its transparency and opacity settings, so perhaps that is all you are after.
    If you want Photoshop-like editing of the raster date in a placed image, you will need a raster image editor like… Photoshop. You could draw out your desired artwork in Illustrator, then hide or delete the placed image and place that .ai file into Photoshop on its own layer, rasterize it, and edit it as pixels.

  • Placing OS image and Data image on right partition

    Hi ,
    We are facing issue in placing right image at the right partition. 
    We have OS image and data image. We are formatting and partitioning HDD as 40% (OSDisk) and remaining 100% as (Data). Both paritioons are active and selected as primary. 
    Then in installing operating system step, i have selected place image based on variable 'OSDisk'
    and Data image is also slected to be placed based on variable 'Data'.
    TS finishes without any issues but when i login to the machine i can see that OSDisk has become 'D' Drive and Data Drive has become 'C' so it shows C drive with label as 'Data' and D drive is label as 'OSDisk'
    I want to place OS on C drive and Data drive should always be as 'D' drive.
    I have tried another method and this time i tried to install OS as 'place based on stored variable i.e. OSDisk but install data image as next available partition but with this placement OS never boot after restart and TS eventually fails. 
    My aim is to make 'C' drive contain OS image and 'D' Drive to containg  data image content and not the otherway around as it is happening with current test. 
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks. 
    Regards,

    Hi ,
    Yes it is Config manager 2012 R2 but image is actually not source media install.wim. It a custom captured image through MDT2013. Image has 1 partition only.
    However I tried the above solution but drive letters are still not coming correct for OSDisk and Data Drive. Data is coming on 'C' drive and OSDisk is coming at 'D' drive.

  • Placed Image Clarity Issues

    I am using ID CS5 on Windows 7 pro.  My question is why do some of my placed images come in sharp and clear and others are fuzzy and only come in sharp when I change my display performance to 'high quality'.  The images were created using PS CS5 albeit a few years apart.  I normally have the view set to 'typical display' so I do not get lag from graphic intensive publications I am working on.  It is more a nuisance than a hinderance.  I would still like to know why so I can give people who proof my projects on screen a reasonable explanation.   As always, your help is always appreciated.

    Peter,  I save/create all my images at 300ppi.  I did notice looking at the link info I see that actual ppi is 300 and the effectiv ppi changes as I scale the image.  I did find something in the Preferences/Dispaly Performance that I can set raster images and vector graphcis to high resolution and seems to have solved the problem but still does not answer the question.  I will try to let it go and get this project knocked out.  Thanks for your help.

  • JPEG/PSD issue--I open a jpeg and edit it (levels, crop) and then "save as" and the save as option shows there are now levels in the image and it wants to save it as a .psd file or a copy with layers.  What am I doing that has these settings appear?

    16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off).  Have you previously been saving PSD files?
    IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on.  The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list.  So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
    [EDIT]  Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line.  Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked?

Maybe you are looking for
