Poor screen resolution for wallpaper photos

I used a picture of my son for the wallpaper but the resolution is terrible.  Very blurry.  I tried a number of high res photos but they all were blurry as wallpaper.  How can you get the resolution improved.  My Droid X looks great.

I am experiencing the same thing. My Droid X looks 100x better for picture viewing than the Bionic. Yet, specs say the bionic has a better resolution. Are we missing something? I viewed the same picture on Facebook on both cameras, and hands down the droid X is superior...

  • 24"iMAC optimal screen resolution for photo processing

    I have a 24" iMAC (matte) and do mostly photo editing. What is the optimal screen resolution for photo processing work?
    thanks
    a/d/

    All Screens are 72 dpi (dots per inch- in reference to pixels) no matter what screen resolution you use. The only difference the screen resolution will make is the size of the photo when you are viewing. Higher resolution means the picture will take up less space in you work area, but you will most likely have to zoom in to edit finer areas. Lower resolution will cause the picture you are editing to take up more of your work space and to see multiple photos side by side you will have to zoom out of fron the photos. So, really the choice is up to you.
    When creating the original document, this is where you need to monitor the dpi. The higher the dpi, the clearer your photo will look in print. A high dpi also means more disk space is being taken up by the photo. Generally a good dpi for print is 300 dpi. Anything that is only purposed for a screen based project (i.e. internet logos) should be saved at 72 dpi. Why use disk space and cause your pages to take longer load if no one will be able to tell the difference on screen between 72 and 300 dpi?
    Hope this helps!

  • Resizing  Screen Resolution for Specific Apps?

    Hello team,
    Is it possible to resize screen resolution for specific applications? Most of my apps look fine at 1024x768, but there are a couple of older OS 9 apps that I need to run (talking school computers here) which are a bit on the small side when viewed at that resolution. Can I somehow set things so that when those applications are launched, the resolution changes to 800x600, and then reverts to 1024x768 when they're quit again? Any and all details about this will be most appreciated, and I thank you in advance for your help!

  • How we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC

    how we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC. can you give the code or how we have to set it

    Hi,
    You need to use the CTU_PARAM options with the call transaction method.This is used if you would like to do a commit work once call trnasaction is done. This has also got very important property, for example if your Screen resolution is different from others then the screen (Application) will be different that is you'll be having say 5 lines in your screen where as your friend will be having 8 or 10 so your program might fail in this case. If you set variable DEFSIZE as 'X' it will always use the default screen size and hence avoids error.
    Use CALL TRANSACTION 'XXX' OPTIONS FROM w_ctu_params.( type CTU_PARAMS)
    This structure contains the follwing.
    DISMODE : Display mode (like the MODE addition)
    UPDMODE: Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
    CATTMODE: CATT mode (controls a CATT)
    CATT mode can have the following values:
    ' ' No CATT active
    'N' CATT without single-screen control
    'A' CATT with single-screen control
    DEFSIZE : Use default window size (Here we are handling those transaction by giving default window size)
    RACOMMIT: Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
    NOBINPT : No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
    NOBIEND : No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
    The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
    'X' Yes
    This might help u in better understanding...

  • 11gr1 - Handling different screen resolutions for an enterprise app.

    Hi,
    We are developing an enterprise application that will be deployed at different clients with different hardware.
    We are confused about how to handle different screen resolutions and wonder how others are handling this.
    We have some fixed size areas in our screens and liquid areas for content that may expand. The problem is say that you have a table with 6 columns. This table will be rendered nicely at 1280X800 but not at 1650X1050 or 800X600.
    At higher resolutions we will either end up having some blank space or expand one of the columns of the table , but can't expand every column proportionally and this will look ugly.
    For lower resolutions same problem in a different way will come into picture, we will not able to resize the columns and end up with scroll bars etc ...
    What is the best practice with handling different screen resolutions for components like table,panel splitter etc ?
    Thanks

    Hi Muhammed,
    I don't think that any better solution exists, you already use liquid layouts and define widths & heights with percentages etc. In my opinion using blank column at the end of table columns makes table's looking better. Additionally creating custom skin for table and defining column heights & widths with % or em may help you to stretch columns?

  • Optimum Screen Resolution for Slides

    I need to create a few slides which will be displayed full-screen. Since
    there's no way to know the resolution of the monitors of the many
    participants, how do I choose the resolution of my slides? Are they
    downsampled in any way by the Adobe server when I upload them? My screen
    resolution is 1920 x 1200 but I suspect a slide built to that resolution
    would create problems for viewers on smaller monitors. Am I right? Is
    there an optimum screen resolution for slides viewed during a Connect Pro
    session?

    Natively you'll get a resolution of 1440 x 900 or you can pay for an upgrade  to 1680 x 1050(current models).

  • Set desktop wallpaper based on screen resolution for both WinXP and Win7

    I'm hoping someone can answer this for me. I would like to be able to set the desktop wallpaper based on the current screen resolution when a user logs in. I've made several .BMP files for varying resolutions with our corporation logo. But, say
    if a wallpaper for a resolution of 1024x768 on a 4:3 monitor is set, then that monitor is replaced with a 16:10 monitor with a resolution of 1280x800 or 1600x900, the wallpaper looks stretched out and ugly. The only way to change it is manually on
    each computer, but most end users (students) would not have permissions to do so.
    I thought this question would have been asked before, but after many, many searches, I've only come across one reference that copies the background from a network share to a location on the local computer, which I found
    here. In my case, the file will already be on the local computer, but I am not sure how to force the system to change the wallpaper based on the current screen resolution. I'm sure it is possible and maybe I am overlooking something very simple. I
    was also thinking that this would either happen only once on first login or maybe based on user authentication (which group the user belongs to) so that teachers are still able to change their wallpaper, but students would not be able to.
    If it helps, I will be deploying the image using MDT 2010 Update 1. The same base image will be used on multiple machine types (HP desktop sand laptops and Lenovo desktops) which could have one of 6-7 different monitor types connected. I'd also like
    this to happen on the local machine instead of GPO or logon script as there is already a lot happening there.
    I would need to be able to do this for both Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Ent x64. The XP machines will mostly have 4:3 monitors, but there are exceptions.
    Maybe what I am asking isn't entirely possible or possible at all. I, unfortunately, am in the extremely early stages of learning Microsoft Scripting (VBScript and PowerShell) to use with MDT 2010, so I know next to nothing when it comes to these scripting
    processes, but am willing to try and learn.
    Any help anyone can suggest, I would be extremely grateful.

    I almost abandoned this because I thought it was going to interfere with using BGInfo. But, as it turns out, I was able to incorporate the running of BGInfo into a script that I
    created. And, once I saw what 16:10 Aspect Ratio background looked like on a 16:9 Aspect Ratio screen, I was not satisfied.
    I happened to use the first script that MkShffr posted from geekshangout.com, but then I added more items to it. I also created three high-res wallpaper backgrounds as suggested
    by pagerwho.
    My script is based on the Aspect Ratio of the current resolution. Since most, if not all, systems will get the resolution set during deployment, this was easy to calculate.
    And by forcing the output of the Aspect Ratio to two decimal places, I just used a Case statement to select which aspect ratio to choose from and apply the wallpaper assigned to it. I thought about using If Then statements, but I think the Case statement
    is much cleaner.
    And, because BGInfo wants to change the Picture Position to "Tile" instead of "Fit" that I manually set it to in my image, I added two reg key change lines per Case. BGInfo still
    changes the Picture Position to "Tile", but for whatever reason, this works. I tested this by using a laptop with a 16:9 Aspect Ratio screen. In my image, I manually set a 16:10 wallpaper because that will be the primary Aspect Ratio used in our corporation,
    however we are getting more 16:9 Aspect Ratio laptops and from what HP is saying, everything will be standardizing on this Aspect Ratio.
    I made sure the Screen profile that I saved in my image was loaded which includes the 16:10 wallpaper. I then placed this script in the “C:\ProgramData\Wallpaper_Change”
    directory that I created in the image. I then added a registry value in HKLM\System\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and created a String Value. I did this so that it would run at log in, but I didn't want it to show in the Startup Folder in the All Programs
    Menu. It takes less than a second to run, but it seems to work well. I tested it several time to see if there were any anomalies, but it seemed to work great each time. I have yet to test it with a computer that is on the domain with a regular user account,
    which I will be doing in the next day or two.
    In the mean time, if someone want to try it out and see if it works from thier use, here is the code. I did comment out the wscript.echos, but left them in to use for troubleshooting
    in the future.

  • Proper screen resolution for optimum work with SD

    A couple of questions.
    I've just set up a 27" IMAC with FC. What's surprised me is the poor quality of the SD image I'm getting in the Viewer and Canvas. Two years ago I edited another SD project on a system using two 24" Apple monitors, and at that time we were all amazed by the quality of the image. Hardly looked like SD at all. We were even impressed when we looked at the work on the full screen. Yet that's not what I'm getting now.
    I'm just wondering if there as been a change in the most recent version of FC. (Mine is FCP 7;I don't know what version I was using two years ago on that other project.) I looked in the manual and under "Viewer/Pop-Up Menu" I read: "+If the Viewer is scaled to anything other than 100 percent and you're displaying a DV clip, only one field is shown during playback or while scrubbing through the clip+." Has this always been the case with DV, which my SD footage is? Could my problem only be a problem with this latest version of FC?
    As it is, set optimally on the 27" with a second monitor for the Browser, my Viewer and Canvas are producing a 199% size image. So given that, plus the fact that I'm only seeing one field, maybe I shouldn't be surprised at the weak image I'm getting.
    Second question.
    After reading about this loss of one field when the DV image is other than 100% I thought I'd set the Viewer pop-up menu to 100% rather than "Fit Window". Problem here, of course is that my image is now very small - a diagonal of only 7 inches. To try and deal with this I've played around with the IMAC screen resolution and when I change it from 2560x1440 to 1920X1080 I can get a 100% two field image with a 9 1/2 inch diagonal. Not great but better.
    Does anyone think this is a recommended way to go? I'm always confused about how a monitor is reproducing a format that is 525 TV lines so the issue of the optimal resolution on my screen is confusing me. (I tried setting the screen to 1600X900. Now my 100% image is 11 1/2 inches but there is a very noticeable drop in image quality.)
    Thanks for any help or advice I can receive.
    John

    Has this always been the case with DV, which my SD footage is?
    Yes. Perhaps you old system had the Viewer and Canvas windows set to 100% and your new one doesn't.
    Could my problem only be a problem with this latest version of FC?
    Not likely.
    As it is, set optimally on the 27" with a second monitor for the Browser, my Viewer and Canvas are producing a 199% size image. So given that, plus the fact that I'm only seeing one field, maybe I shouldn't be surprised at the weak image I'm getting.
    BINGO!
    For best results, always use a properly calibrated, external TV monitor for critical viewing when editing.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3.4 causes poor screen resolution and unreadable pdf documents. Why?

    When I open Reader (9.3.4) the screen resolution becomes very poor - like a color monitor from the early 80's - and text in pdf documents is highlighted black or some other random color, making it unreadable.  This has been the case since I upgraded from Reader 8 recently. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    To those that tried to assist me with trying to get Reader to display
    correctly.  Thanks for your assistance.
    I resolved the problem  by doing a backup of all my files, then formatting the hard drive and reinstalling all programs, from XP to Trend Micro, to Office 2003 and finally Reader 9.
    The problem has gone and the speed and stability of my PC has been greatly improved.

    EndSection
    when i log into the newly created account and use nvidia-settings
    the resolution can be changed successfully
    but upon restarting
    it reverts back to 1024X768
    i'd like to know how i could set up different resolutions for both of us
