Problems in placing .jpg images - size shrinks

Hi,
I have been working with InDesign for years and this is the first time I encouterred the following problem. Currently I am creating an online document with InDesign CS5.5.
The problem is that when I place (ctrl + D) an image (.jpg), some of them seem to "shrink" from their original size and become totally pixelated.
My original image is 192 x 380 px and it was placed as 46.08 x 91.2 px
I don't understand what might be the problem. For some of my images it seems to do this and for some not. There are some images that I have previously placed succesfully and then these same images are now shrinked when I place them. Could this be a setting change? I have tried everything, but nothing seems to work.
Very puzzled.
Any suggentions?

A 192 x 380 pixel image scaled at 100% that also measures 192 x 380 pixels on the ID page has to have an actual resolution of 72ppi:
If the actual ppi is different (100 ppi below) and the scale is 100% then the ID object pixel width and height has to change:

Problem with placing dynamic images.

I have a 800x600 file. It is being used for a PhotoSlide
show.
The images are displayed dynamically, as external files.
Some of the photos will be taken 1 hour before the
presentation, so I have
it set up to display img001.jpg, img002.jpg, img003.jpg as
external files.
Once the photos are taken, they'll be renamed, and placed in
the appropriate
folder, so that they'll appear in the presentation, without
having to
republish the authorware file.
I have the display icons for the images set to display the
image at 400,300,
which will center the image on-screen.
The problem is that when i change the images out, from a
verticle to a
horizontal picture, then run the piece, but image's placement
on screen
changes.
So how can I set the linked external file to ALWAYS display
centered on
screen, no matter the orientation, or size of the picture.

That doesn't change anything from when I had X = 400 and
Y=300.
The images are linked externally.
This is going to be a photo slideshow to be shown after a
wedding, during
the reception. I will NOT be there to administer this, or to
republish the
authorware files. So at the final segment of the slideshow,
we'll be showing
several photos taken earlier, at the wedding.
I have it set up to display 5 photos from the wedding. They
are grabbed
externally, but Authorware looking for img01.jpg - img05.jpg.
The problem is that the image's placement on-screen changes
when a different
size image is put in place.
For example, if i publish the authorware file, and i was
using a 720 x 480
image, everything works fine. But if i replace the external
image with a 480
x 720 image, the placement on screen is no longer set for the
center of the
image to appear at the dead center of the screen (400,300). I
need it to
work like this, since I don't know if the wedding photos
being added will be
set to portrait or landscape.

Problem When Take Dump - Image Size Increase

Dear developers
I Am Developing An E-Archive Program Using Oracle Developer 6i Based On Oracle 9i (Intermedia - Ordimage Column To Save Document Image ) .
And I Have A Problem With The Size Of The Dump File Whenever I Try To Take A Backup For The Database The File Size Is Very Huge.
The Origin Of That Is The Increase Of The Images Size After Have Been Saved On The Table ( If The Image Is About 12 kb On Hard Disk , Its Size Become 100 kb At The Database - I Used Database Studio To Know The Increase At The Table space - The Table Which Have the Images Have Its Owen Table space ).
Did Any One Know Why That Happen ? And How To Mange That Increase Of Size? How To Make The Dump File With The Minimum Size ?
Thanks
Bassem Halawa

Have you followed the performace suggestions in the interMedia documentation? I don't see how you could have obtained the increase you claim, but perhaps a database that is very poorly tuned for images? Or, more likely, the file size does not indicate actual disk space used, and instead indicates a extent. I will ask the performance folks if this increase is even possible.

Optimize JPG image size reduction by reduced compression quality vs. reduced pixels?

I have many images of slides scanned at high res (4800 DPI, maximum pixels 5214x3592). Although I will be saving these as lossless TIFs, I also wish to make JPGs from them that I wish to be just less than 5 MB in file size. Aside from cropping, I know I can achieve such a reduction of JPG file size by a combination of saving to lower quality JPG compression or reducing image size. My question is, what is theoretically or practically better, achieving this mostly by reducing image total pixels or by reducing JPG compression quality. Thank you

Thank you Doug. The comments on extensive uniform blue sky vs. marked variation in color seem well taken, I'll keep this method of choosing in mind. My goal is to create a JPG family photo archive of the highest quality images that I can make for future use by non-technical descendants (thus it will supplement the TIF archive that holds the best quality versions of the same images but that may not be usable to novices). As I cannot anticipate exactly how the JPGs will be used, I just want them to be the best possible, while still being of a size that can be uploaded to, say, Costco (5 MB size limit) for making enlargements.
In general, I am often left curious as to how exactly Photoshop carries out its algorithms and how different factors influence the outcome. So often, one read "just try different techniques and see what looks the best". But I am always left wondering, what is the theory behind this and has it been systematically studied and worked out and published. In so many disciplines, such as medicine, the methods of optimization has been evaluated, systematized, and fully described. I have not yet explored what may be found in technical journals, but I'm sure much of this good stuff must be available somewhere. It would be nice to have a "How Things Work" that actually explains what Photoshop is doing under the hood.
Thanks again.

Problems with placing Tiff images in CS2

When placing a Tiff image in CS2 the file crashes or a memory warning appears. I am able to place much larger EPS images, so image size is not necessarily a factor Saving the file as an EPS in PhotoShop is not a solution as I am placing GeoTiffs which must retain their geographic reference file. The OS is Windows XP 32 - a quad core proc. - Radeon HD 6350 graphics controller with 512mb (dedicated)

No - it is possible to place a geotiff in illustrator - I have been able to do it. However, now I have a new PC and am unable to place the same types of tiff images I previously was able to in an older PC.

Color problem on some jpg images

Suddenly it happens that some jpg images look almost black (very high level of contrast). I use a Samsung SyncMaster 245B monitor and I had never this effect before. I uninstalled Photoshop Elements and reinstalled, but the problem remains.
Other jpg pictures look normal, but I am unable to understand any difference in the original files.
The same bad pictures look fine if I open them with PaintShop Pro, this could bring me to consider a bad setup of Photoshop Elements ... but which one ?
Can you help me in finding a solution ?
Thanks

I agree with your comment. But what I don't understand is:
1) The monitor was calibrated and no changes done. The problem don't was present days ago.
2) Why only some jpg show this problem, while others generally are shown OK. I may add only that the bad ones are larger in pixels.
Thanks for your answer.

Problems saving changes in image size

I have some digital files that I need to resize for printing. Most need to be sized to print full-frame on 8.5 by 11 inch sheets of paper, while the others need to be full-frame on 5 by 7 paper.
I'm using a trial version of PS Elements. I call up the image in Elements, then click on "Image," select "Resize" and then "Image Size."
Then under "Document Size" I put in the width and height I want in inches, make sure the Resolution's at least 300 and click "OK." Then I click on "File," then "Save As," and click "Save." When the "JPEG Options" box comes up, I click on "OK." But later, when I call the file up again, the changes I thought I'd made aren't saved. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Did you check "Constrain proportions" and "Resample Image"?
Since you want to arrive at 8.5x11" and 5x7" you will need to crop to these dimensions, since the aspect ratios are not the same.
Try the crop tool. Enter height, width, and resolution on the tool's option bar.

Add stroke to placed jpg image

CS3 - have a placed JPG in my illustr document. Can I stroke this box? I don't want to add the stroke to my orig JPG file, I want to stroke to box in illustr. I add the stroke and it doesn't apply, appears to be there in all the boxes, black stroke, can make it 100pt stroke, and nothing happens to my placed jpg container....

Here's an article that also offers a solution:

Image size shrinks

If I save an image to either my device or SD card, the image size gets reduced dramatically (for example, from 600 kb to 50kb). This happens whether I 1) save an image that was sent to me in a message or 2) save a photo that I took with the camera (for instance, if I save the image to give it a new name).
Is there a way for me to have the blackberry save the original image size?

It seems to happen when I am not using any tools. When I have a photo open for any purpose.
It occurs with no input. I fix it by zooming back to where I was.
I am not working with a tablet. I am not working with a mouse.
I will need to look up these preferences. I did not know they existed.
Thanks.
Duane

I am still having problems understanding changes in image size

Howdy
I hope someone can help me. I have an old record album (one that has never come out on CD). I recently recorded the album over to a CD recorder. Okay great, I now have the CD. Years ago I gave a copy of the LP to my brother. I want to give him a copy of the CD with the album cover as artwork. Okay I have a commercial scanner at my place of work so I can scan the album cover which is roughly 12 inches by 12 inches. I scanned it at 200 dpi. So I end up with this large image. CD covers are around 4 3/4 inches. I played around with the image using another program and thought I'd changed it to this size but it never worked out right. Now I have been trying to play around with the image in Adobe and just can't quite understand this. To try to understand this better I actually scanned a cd cover at 200 dpi and then opened this image in adobe. The size of the image says its 4 3/4 by 4 3/4 but it doesn't look like it would printout that way. It looks like it would print out much larger. I saw somewhere in this forum that adobe is set to something like 72 ppi and I think I sort of understand that but I guess what I need help with is the process by which I convert an image of the album cover which is roughly 12x12 to be 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 without losing too much resolution quality. Can someone walk me through this? I guess I don't understand how to resize the larger image to 4 3/4 by 4 3/4 inches so that it actually prints out at that size. This is driving me crazy!! Thanks.
Joe

Joe,
Try not to get too bogged down different resolutions - not least because monitors display images at a different resolution to printers.
The good news is that you have a scanned image that is larger than you require which means downsizing it is doing to be easier.
Go to the 'Image' menu, select the 'Resize' option, select 'Image Size' from the sub-menu.
A dialogue box should appear on screen. At the top is a section entitled 'Pixel Dimensions'. No need to worry about these, but for a 12" x 12" image at 200ppi, the measurments on my screen show an overall file size of 16.5 MB with the width and height each showing 2400 pixels.
Focus on the section below it entitled 'Document Size'. Hopefully it displays the sizes you have mentioned: 12" wide, 12" high, 200 PPI resolution.
Firstly, click in the box where the units of measurement are given and change them to 'cm' (CDs are 12 centimetres square unlike their predecessor LPs that were 12 inches square). The corresponding values in the sizes will change automatically to reflect your new choice of measurement. On my screen, where it did show 12 inches, it now shows 30.48 cm. Click on the figure alongside width and change this to 12. If the 'Constrain Proportions' option is ticked, the height will change automatically too. You'll notice that the resolution increases automatically from 200 to 508. Just click OK and your image size has been changed.
Best Wishes

Problems with the background image size in a photobook

Hi there, I really need help here. When I make a photobook I want to display my images large, taking the whole page. To do that I put the image as a background and it's OK. My problem is that when I do this, iPhoto always crops it. I have to use the move tool to move the image up and down, left or right to chose a best position. I don't want to do this, I want my image to be shown perfectly from end to end. I have to resize the image in many ways, even used the book's native resolution but it still doesn't work. If I choose "fit photo to frame size" I end up with two stripes at the top and the bottom of the page.
Please help me, what size should I resize my image to, so that iPhoto displays it as it is?
Thank you

Hi
The fact you are using a Mac is why both myself and JCellini assumed you where using a pre IE7 version.
But the code you are using to test in IE will cause a problem with any 'virtual machine' such as crossover, because it cannot reference anything outside its own assigned section of the drive, and referencing the png in the way you are would be for it an invalid reference, it also would not work in any browser when you uploaded the site.
Change - background-image:url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/myname/Documents/websites/test/Test/images/test_back.png);
To - background-image:url(images/test_back.png);
But if the region is not editable I would suggest you temporarily make it so, externalize your css to a css file, insert a link to the external css file in your head content, then lock the region once again. This way you will always be able to edit your css without worrying about 'locked regions'.

Problem resizing imported jpg images in flash cs4

when i import a jpg file in flash and then resize this with the transform tool to for example 50% of the original size
then im not getting the same result as resizing it in photoshop.
if i first resize it in photoshop and import the image is smooth and looks the way i want
but if i resize in flash the image gets edgy and not so good.
so is there a way in flash cs 4 to resize the image with the same result as resizing it in photoshop or
similar?

thanks for advice =)
but the size of the jpeg will maintain the same?
seems like that, otherwise i think photoshop is the only option..

Problems attaching scanned jpg images to mail messages

We are having issues attaching scanned images from a Epson SX600FW all in one printer/scanner/fax machine into mail on my dad's MacBook.
Basically if I attach a jpeg from any other source (internet or digital camera) to a message, they attach ok but if I attach a file from this printer Mail stops responding and the rotating ball comes up.
The odd thing is if I attach a file from another source first and then an image from the printer it attaches fine but if I only attach a file from the printer Mail hangs.
Any ideas anyone ?

Many times you need Photo Software. This allows your Photo's to be .jpg Format then you can copy and paste, or Drag and Drop. The Key is the Format of your photos. Many Cameras and other periphials make there scans and photo's .jpg format by default. If you do not have the software here is a Free on that is comparible too Adobe's Photoshop.

Changing resolution and image size doesn't change result on screen?

I'm using Photoshop CS3. I am trying to change the resolution of several images that will be printed in a newspaper. So the current images are 72 ppi and really huge -- for example 36 x 27 inches (document size), and when I change them to 300 ppi, the image sizes shrink to about 8 x 6 inches, as I expect. But the image I see on the screen doesn't change. So, for example, when I open up the image originally, it's at 33% and the entire image is visible. After I change the resolution, and the image size has changed accordingly, the image still appears the same and it remains at 33%. Shouldn't the image shrink on the screen since its size has shrunk? Or if it remains the same on the screen, shouldn't the percentage shift? I mean if the document size is now 8 x 6, it should be able to be displayed at 100% and not fill my whole screen... I'm so confused. Thanks...

gradded,
The "Document Size" area of the Image Size dialog is just to indicate the size (in inches) that your document will be printed. The ppi adjustment has nothing to do with what is displayed on your monitor. Your monitor doesn't care anything about ppi. The monitor contains a certain number of pixels and after you change that ppi setting, the monitor will still have that same number of pixels.
As long as you leave the "Resample Image" box unchecked, your image size (Pixel Dimensions) will not change. You will see no change on your monitor. If you check the "Resample Image" box, then your image size (in pixels) will change.
Hope this helps.

SOLVED!!!!!!!!!Placing an Image in original login.jsp

Hi all,
I solved the problem of placing an image in original login.jsp
Hope this will be usefull for all who will be trying to edit the original longi.jsp:
====>Place your image in the following folder:
C:\installations\Oracle_Infra(Your oracle_home)\portal\images
you place your image some-where else it will not be displayed .....
Hope this will be usefull!!!!
Thanks & Regards,
Mallikarjun

Well, you are quite right to put images in this place.
However, two points can be noted here:
1. This works with the assumption that your portal repository is in the infra-database. in cases of customer databases, you may have other folders which would be able to run the images from a similar folder in their respective homes.
2. Additionally, you can place your images anywhere on your servers and still have them working if you use an alias for the image folder location!
hope that helps.
