Printer finds 'image to complex to print' - can I reduce the resolution?

This may be a printer issue, heaven knows this HP 2840 has given me enough of those, but I'm trying to print out an image that my printer thinks is too complex to print. Is there a way for me to drop the print resolution down a bit to see if I can print? I've reduced the resolution of the image in 'Image size' to 72 dpi and unchecked 'resample' but it's still telling me it is printing a 600 dpi image. What do I do?
I'm using PSE 9.0. Thanks!

Image>resize>image size brings up a dialog in which you specify pixels/per inch. For a good print, it is desirable to have the resolution = 240-300px/in. Printing at 72 px/in usually results in pixellation
DPI to which you refer is a printer setting for the print quality.
Open a picture file in Editor, go to File>print, and in the dialog that comes up, #2 is for Printer settings, and here you may be able to change the settings from default. I don't have an HP printer.
"but I'm trying to print out an image that my printer thinks is too complex to print". This is anthropomorphism at its finest. Do you get a warning message when you go to print? What does it say?

I have created a report which requires graphics. It prints out a header and a JTable below it. Each report is sent to printer as seperate job, and I profiled it as 1 MB each! How to reduce this please?

You can't reduce the size that I know of but you can reduce the number by grouping them. Moving one icon on top of the other will create a folder. Also notice the horizontal scroll dots or swipe feature.

Better you can use Canvas class and using drawImage() function you can show the image. Before that you have to Get the maximum size of your phone screen using the following:
x = (width/2) - (image.getWidth()/2);
y = (height/2) - (image.getHeight()/2);

How can i reduce the saturation of a image to make it almost transparent ?

how can i reduce the saturation of a image to make it almost transparent ?

You're talking about two different things:
"Saturation" means the amount of colour, so you would use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to lower the saturation to make the image (or layer) appear more "black and white".
"Transparency" is set by reducing the value of the "Opacity" in the Layers panel. If that Opacity adjustment isn't available for the layer you want to make more transparent, first double-click on the layer to change it from a "Background" layer to a regular layer.

How can I reduce the size of a photo proportionally. With my old Mac mini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner hold the shift key until I achieved the desires size.

How can I reduce the size of a photo PROPORTIONALLY? With my old Macmini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner of the picture, hold down the shift key and move the pointer to achieve the desired size.

You'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of these:
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Xee 2.1 - free
My personal preference would be for Photoshop Elements for Mac. Most of these will let you select and copy a head from one photo, paste it into another photo, resize and place where you need it.
PSE has a specific feature just for that function. I belive the Adobe site for PSE has a demo video of that feature.

Scanning: The image size is too big. Please reduce the image height, width, resolution, scaling or output type.

Good Day.
I have recently discovered an issue with scanning. I have tried scanning straight from the printer, through image capture, and through preview. All yeilding the same results since they are essentailly kicking off the same scanning applet. I can scan a jpeg formatted file as long as I applet is in the "Hide Details" mode. If I click on the "Show Details" button, which I need to do to scan to PDF, I immediately receive an error stating: The image size is too big. Please reduce the image height, width, resolution, scaling or output type.
I'm currently using an HP C5180 printer.   The most recently installed software was Adobe Digital Editions (I installed this to read an on-line e-book). Not sure if there is any correlation.    Thanks for any help.

Hello Sig
The scanner works with a Windows computer, which proves the device is functional at a cursory level. The drivers are now distributed by Apple and this is an Apple computer. There is no scanning software provided by HP. HP's answer is that Mountain Lion takes care of all of this. I anticipate that some setting or driver was somehow tweaked since the scanner had been working with Mountain Lion until a few days ago. The device in question is an Apple product. So, I'm pretty confident that I'm in the right place.

Reducing the Resolution of a Referenced Original Image

I made the mistake of taking photos in very high resolution, and then importing the originals into my Aperture Library as referenced images. Now my hard drive is completely full (and I've already disabled and deleted Previews), so I'm trying to reduce the resolution of the original images using Aperture. After much reading, it seems that I'll need to Export Versions at a reduced size, Import the new versions into Aperture, and Delete the old originals. Seriously?!? Before I venture down this horrific path, please let me know if there is an easier solution. Thanks!

As Terence said -- the easy thing is built-in and recommended: select the Images whose Originals you want to relocate, and relocate them to external drives. External drives are _bargains_ right now. I recommend -- seriously -- buying them in triplicate: one as your "working data" store, and two to use as back-ups (never have all three in the same physical location).
Storage is so cheap, on fact, that even though for this one set of pictures you recorded a higher resolution than you need, I still wouldn't bother "down-sizing" those Originals -- particularly if you have made _any_ changes via adjustments or metadata. Change your camera settings, and just live with a little extra data spinning around.
Here is the page in the User Manual on relocating your Originals (click from the contents listed at the top).
Note, too, the following, from the page Basic Components of Aperture:
Using referenced images in your Aperture system provides a number of substantial benefits to your photography workflow. For example, you can incorporate your existing portfolio of images into Aperture without changing the current location of the files. Importing images by reference does not result in a duplication of your image files in the Aperture library, thus saving hard disk space. You can also connect and disconnect hard disks holding your referenced images’ masters as you need them. This allows you to keep masters for less-used images offline or to make specific types of images available for editing or adjustments as needed. Using referenced images in your Aperture system lets you build a flexible image management system customized to your work style. (Emphasis mine.)
For my personal Libary, I keep 4★, 5★, Portfolio Images, and anything recorded in the last 45 days on my laptop's system drive. Every other Original is relocated to a 2 TB external drive.
I find Previews _very_ useful (both in and out of Aperture), and even rely on them as a sort of emergency back-up of last resort. I recommend you rebuild yours.

Can I increase the resolution in a jpg created from an imovie clip?

Can I increase the resolution in a jpg created from an imovie clip? I've done the steps to create/extract a "still" from an iMovie clip (which started as a small clip in iphoto). I did the steps of creating the freeze frame, and then doing a "screen shot", but the resolution is only 97 kb, so it won't be good to print. Help!

How can I reduce the bit rate of songs in my Music Library to enable me to

At the moment i can only fit about 1300 songs on my iphone and also have used up half the space on my 120gb Classic with 7000 songs which is a lot less than what i was told would fit on. so............
How can I reduce the bit rate of songs in my Music Library to enable me to fit more songs onto my iPhone or iPod Classic.. and what is the minimum rate that i should stick to in order to retain good sound quality.

For existing tracks, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
For CDs you import in the future, change the Import settings in the iTunes -> General preferences.
As to what will be a good bit rate, that's going to be up to you and what quality you find acceptable, but many people find that 128 kbps AAC is the optimum balance between small file size and quality.

How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
Best luck.

How can I reduce the size of IPhoto ?

I have tested IPhoto with a few hundred pictures.
I do not find this software very user-friendly, in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures. I kept fortunately a copy of my complete set of my photo collection.
I removed all pictures from IPhoto, but the application shows a size of 600 Mb.
How can I reduce the size of IPhoto and recover this storage space?

patrick
in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.

Use the Get Info window to remove unwanted language resources.
