Preview shows incorrect DPI on JPEGs?

One of my employees is on a Mac using Snow Leopard.
I have been sending him JPG files to forwarded to some printers and when he receives the message via email and then open's it in Preview, the inspector shows the file as being 72dpi. However, the file when I look at it on my PC in Photoshop or other image editing software clearly shows it at 300dpi.
Can anyone advise what is happening here? Is Preview or Mac Mail changing the DPI setting on the files I'm sending?
Please advise.

The same here, but I am used to work with TIF/TIFF files. They also show 72 instead of the original resolution. Nightmare here.
See my post.

  • PSE 10 - Print Dialog box - Preview shows incorrect file

    PSE 10 - Print Dialog box - Preview shows incorrect file.  Preview shows an open, but minimized file, however, it does not show the active, open file that I want to print.  Rather than have to go through the organizer to choose the correct file and delete the incorrect file, how can I make sure that the targeted file I want to print appears in the Print dialog preview window and actually prints?

    Thanks, Barbara.  I've used PSE for years and never knew this.  Such an easy solution.  Thanks for quick response!

  • Previewing Pages document in Preview shows page numbers incorrectly

    Previewing Pages (5.2) document in Preview (7.0) shows page numbers incorrectly. Regardless of starting page number preview shows as Page 1.
    Suggestions appreciated...

    That appears to be YABIP5 (Yet Another Bug In Pages 5].
    Pages .09 documents are fine.
    No prizes however for finding bugs in Pages 5/5.2 it's swarming with them.

  • Preview shows some text incorrectly in pdfs

    I have recently had problems viewing pdfs in Preview. This applies to new pdfs that I have downloaded as well as old ones that were already on my computer. I am a graduate student in biology, so I download and read many scientific articles as pdfs on my 2.4 GHz MacBook.
    I think the problem may have started when I did the 10.5.6 system update.
    Here's the problem:
    Preview substitutes incorrect letters or symbols for some letter combinations. It seems to have particular trouble with the letter 'f' with other letters. For example in one pdf...
    "field" becomes "Weld"
    "difficulties" becomes "diYiculties"
    "configuration" becomes "conWguration"
    "flightless" becomes "Xightless"
    "flat" becomes "Xat"
    "effective" becomes "eVective"
    In another pdf...
    "flow" becomes "£ow"
    "floral" becomes "£oral"
    "field" becomes " ¢eld"
    These errors were also present when it printed.
    And finally in another...
    "field" becomes "Æeld"
    "influence" becomes "inØuence"
    "fig" becomes "Æg"
    This happens if I view the pdf in Safari using Preview or in Preview itself (Version 4.1 (469.4)). Suggestions?

    sounds like a font problem. open Font Book and validate all fonts and resolve duplicates. also, clear Font caches using a3rd party app like Font Finagler or Onyx.

  • In two page view preview shows the first page on its own

    In two page view preview shows the first page on its own. I have recently downloaded an ebook which has image based tutorials and the pages are in such a way that pages 3 and 4 should be seen next to each other. Preview seems to want to have pages 1 on its own therefore making this rather difficult. Any help on resolving this issue would be appreciated.

    Try selecting the first page, and then from the "Edit" menu select "insert blank page". This should put a blank page at the beginning of the document, shifting all pages down one and putting them in the order you want for your display.

  • Preview shows only one page of article

    I have a 23-page portrait-only article for which I can preview only one page.  Normally it is the first page, but if I click on any other page, the preview shows that page -- but the slider on the bottom of Content Viewer shows only the first page regardless of what page is in the preview window.  I'm a newbie at this, and this is my second article; the first one worked just fine.  Put them together in a folio, in either order, and the "normal" one shows all pages, and the other shows only page 1.  Any thoughts?

    Silly newbies... I read some of the layout options in Plain English.  Apparently, if the article isn't set to "horizontal swipe only" it's on vertical swipe only, not "optional."  The Aha! moment came from accidentally brushing the mouse so that the preview scrolled upward, revealing the pages hidden below.  Now I get it.

  • Preview shows blank pages

    I've just received a 13 page pdf file. Opening it with Preview showed me 13 blank pages. Opening it with Acrobat showed me the pages as they are supposed to look. What's going on? Why can't Preview show the contents? (The file was created on a PC, if that's relevant, by scanning in the pages, but I don't know the procedure after that.)
    I'm using 10.3.9, all updates installed, on a G4/1.25 PowerBook.

    Hi Susan,
    I can't explain the anomaly, but I experience similar problems with Preview when I attempt to view PDF docs that are created by my company, and also by a friend who is a missionary in Cameroon Africa (who I presume is using a PC to create the PDF docs...). I'm guessing that the program that creates their PDFs is causing the 'headache' for our version of Preview...
    The PDFs created by my company will not be 'searchable', and most of the text of PDFs created by my friend will be unreadable by Preview.
    Of note, an associate who uses Tiger, does not seem to have the same problems with his version of Preview...

  • How do I make preview show only one page at a time in full screen

    When I show a document using full screen (or slideshow) in Preview, it shows two pages at a time.  I just want to show one at a time, but can't find anything that lets me specify this.  There is no relevant Preference that I can see, and if I check single page in view and then choose full screen or slideshow in view, the first page is displayed fine, but then subsequent pages are displayed two up.

    Hi, Eric,
    Thanks.  It looks like I didn't quite make my question clear enough, though.
    I want to show a multi-page document one page at a time.  If I open it and choose "full screen" in view, I get the first page showing just fine.  But if I then use the arrow to go to the second page, Preview shows two pages (#2 and 3), and then continues to show the rest of the document two pages at a time when I advance using the arrow. 
    I want to show one page at a time, and be able to advance to the next page using the arrow.
    Can I do this in Preview?
    Thanks,
    Russ

  • Creative Zen (16GB Model) showing incorrect song information

    <Creative Zen (6GB Model) showing incorrect song information I was given a Creative Zen for christmas, and I'm very happy with it.
    The only thing is, I've noticed that it seems to occasionally display the wrong title for the song it's playing. I have a playlist called RandomAll which I created using the Media Explorer software. Sometimes, when I look down at the player, I'll notice the wrong song information on screen. Not just the title or anything, but completely wrong information. For example, right now, my player is telling my that a Rihanna song is playing, and gives me all the details for that song (including the extended details if I go into the menu). But the song that's actually playing is a cover of Fraggle Rock by Me First & The Gimme Gimmes. It doesn't seem to be the same songs every time or anything like that, so I don't think it's a problem with the files.
    Is this an issue that has been noticed by anyone else? Is there anything I can do to fix it's And if not, is it the kind of thing I need to send my player back for?

    @ It could be incorrect ID3 tags on your .mp3s, if the source for your music had the wrong ID3 information, your Zen won't show the correct information unless you use an? ID3 Tag Editor to correct the source.

  • When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I select the photo, click print and the preview shows there is a lot of the photo cut off.  It also prints this way.  How can I print the whole picture?

    When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I click print and the preview shows a lot of the photo cut off.  It also prints this way.  How can I print the whole photo?

    After selecting File > Print, a pop-up window should appear. Select "Customize" and this should take you back into a panel within iPhoto. Towards the bottom, you should see an option for "Layout". Select this option and choose the correct photo orientation.
    Hope this helps!

  • Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

    Here's what I've found on the issue:
    Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
    Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
    In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

  • Signature image not displaying in actual signature.  Preview shows it though???

    Hi, I am brand new to using Adobe and want to use for electronic signatures to decrease paper
    and increase effeciency.  I was able to use help to get it to work with displaying my name.  I have tried to edit the signature to display an object , a file that displays my handwritten signature.  The preview shows that I have attached it appropriately, but when I try to sign a document it continues to display my name instead.  I have tried several times, starting over.  Attaching .jpg then attaching it as a .pdf.  The preview continues to show what it will look like, but the signature continues to default to my printed name for some reason.
    HELP the Newbie Please.

    You are best off creating a digital signature and if you want using the signed signature to display with your digital signature you can. When you just have an image that is pasted on top of the pdf, it is really mostly an annotation, not nearly as useful as a true digital signature. You can create a self-signed digital signature or you can purchase a digital signature that can be attested to by an outside authority. It is your choice.
    This may be a good place to start reading about digital signatures: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/digital-signatures-pdf-acrobat

  • From line on emails shows incorrectly

    i belong to a group where i must send an email to the entire group at once, because it is a group mail it will also come to my inbox. the problem is the "from" line shows someone else's email, when i send the same email from my other email client the "from" line shows my email as it should... i have screenshots of both clients... the thunderbird one shows incorrectly. i have contacted the group owner and my emails are not moderated and my email shows as sender on her end.
    why is my thunderbird showing the incorrect email in the "from" line... it is a valid email but it is not mine
    is there a way for me to post screenshots to explain better?

    lets test that shall we.
    Tools menu > options > Advanced > Reading and display and uncheck the "Show only display name for people in my address book" restart Thunderbird
    Does that fix the display issue?

    I am using a macbook pro. The storage information is shown wrongly. Control I shows the correct information but finder and space bar on the hard disk show incorrect storage information. Used space is actually 122 GB which is shown as 140 GB. Even omnidiskkeeper shows the breakup of 122 GB but the storage information summary shows 140GB.
