Quality warning when make a image bigger

Hi!
I'm making my albums with a company that has its own software. Very easy and nice to use, but I would like to try to do my albums with Indesign.
When I add the photos in my software and make the images bigger I get a warning message telling me that the file won't be printed at the best quality. And that's important. So, how could I know this in Indesign? How could I know where to stop with resizing an image in order to make look good on paper?
Thanks a lot!

You did not state the version number of InDeign you are using. ALWAYS tell us the version number. We cannot give complete answers if we don’t know what tools or commands you have available. Also state the OS, since that is often just as important to know.
For a selected image, look in the Info Panel at Effective Resolution. This is the resolution at which the image will output. You should probably avoid anything under 180 ppi. For your entire document, if you are using InDesign 6 or 7, you can configure the Links panel to show Effective Resolution for all images in the document. In the Links panel’s flyout menu, select Panel options and turn of Effective Resolution, as well as any other features you think you will find useful.

Quality issues when importing still images as frames for animation

hello,
i've imported roughly 600 hand-drawn and scanned (600 dpi) images as frames for video. the images themselves are really crisp and perfectly how i want them to appear. i've imported each to play for 2 frames then move to the next. once done, i save this video file as an .avi. i then repeat the process in order to layer the video (using Calculations filter) over and over again, to fill up the screen with overlapped, layered animations. in theory, these layers should all remain crisp, just like the scanned images. i was under the impression that the standard Export... > Movie... .avi file is essentially lossless and is best for editing, however when my process is completed, the final product is muddy, grainy, and pixelated. i'm not sure where i am going wrong, as i've actually done this process before with success.
is there a way to specific the working file as "high definition" or something similar so that the quality is just as crisp as the scanned images i am using as source
any help is appreciated - i am completely self taught in video editing and it is really bugging me that the file output is not how i envisioned.
thanks,
DB

I note you specified that the images were 600 dpi. The dot per inch are an issue only for printing a hardcopy. For video work, the issue is the pixel dimensions and the pixel aspect ratio. If your image is 600 pixels by 400 pixels with a PAR =1.0. If your sequence is 1440 x 1080 with a pixel ratio ratio of 1.33, then the images must be the same and PrPro must scale up the image. You can get good images from imported stills in PrPro. I prefer to rescale my images using Photoshop. I am told that the scaling algorithm in PrPro has been improved. But regardless, if you are scaling up, you will see degradation becauae Prpro has to interpolate between pixels to fill the video frame.

How can I make my images look good when exporting to PDF document?

Hello! I'm struggling here with a PDF Brochure that I need to create (intended for web only, not print).
There are two images that look horrible and pixelated when I create my PDF file. I have tried everything, making the images bigger and smaller, using 72 dpi images and 300 dpi ones. Everything results the same way... It looks perfect in my InDesign file, but in the PDF it looks all damaged. Here are two screen shots, one of how it looks in the PDF and one of how it looks in InDesign.
Could you please tell me what I need to do to guarantee that the image looks good quality in the PDF? (My document is 40cmx20cm, I don't not if using cm is affecting the document).
To export to PDF I'm using the option: Adobe PDF pressets --> Smallest file size.
If you can help me I would really appreciate it!
Thank you,
Nataly.

If it's for the web, why not export to JPEG? Why PDF?
Terrible idea. In a JPG the text will not be alive, you loose all interactivity.
And making JPGs with InDesign is not what the program is meant to make.

Image quality poor when using "fit in window" view

Hello,
i´m getting familiar with PS CS3 Demo and what buffles me is the poor quality of the downsized view of large images. I loaded a 8 MP JPEG image from a digital camera and it looks good in 100%, but when i choose to view the whole image to fit the window (33,33% in my case), the resulting "downsampled" image is very jaggy and pixelated. I use a freeware image viewer called Xnview that gives me a far superior view when viewing large images downsized - i can even choose to select a "HQ" mode so those images get resampled to look better. It it normal that PS does not offer such a thing (or did i not see it?) and delivers such poor visual quality or is there something wrong with my PC?
Thanks for your help.

Though 6.735, 12.5, 25 and 50% views usually are OK too. "Image quality" is great, though sometimes deceivingly so. I guess I don't understand sampling enough to tell you why 33% looks bad (rounding errors, I suppose). But 66% makes sense. You're trying to stuff 3 pixels into the space of 2.
Dave, what are the advantages to these nearest neighbor views instead of bicubic (or even bi-linear). Just speed?

MIssing image quality warning!? (yellow triangle !)

so in photo 10, when adding low quality / low resolution images to my books or calendars, i used to get a yellow triangle warning me that the quality is not good enough. i also got the warning when enlarging a photo beyond a certain point.
since upgrading to iphoto 11, i can NEVER get this warning to show up?
even when i place obviously low quality / low resolution images, and i enlarge them, I don't see that icon?! no matter what i do, the icon doesn't come up!
has Apple removed this warning? does everyone have it except me? is it an option to turn on and off? this is driving me crazy!

I just spent a week creating my annual family calendar in iPhoto '11, didn't see the yellow low-quality image warning triangles from past iPhoto versions and assumed all the photos were decent enough to publish. Boy was I wrong. When I went to order the calendars, during the assembly process I kept getting low-quality image messages, but it only gave the name of the photo file and stopped processing at that page. It didn't show me what photo it was, so I had to figure out which image it was by using "spotlight" and entering the file name. What a pain in the ***.
Once I fixed the offending image, I had to start the entire order process over again, reconfirm payment and shipment information, only to keep getting a low-quality image error message again, and again, and again. It couldn't have saved all the poor-quality images messages for 1 message, so I could fix all the problematic images at once and only have to resubmit the order once. No, it only told me image by image, page by page, if there was a problem, causing me to have to resubmit my order 7 times. It took me 45 minutes to finally order my calendar. I am not happy. I've been ordering my calendars through iPhoto since 2008 and have never had this much difficulty with image-quality messages and order processing.
The photos that caused the error messages were those that other people had sent me that weren't very good quality, and that I had edited once placed in the calendar. Once I deleted the edited version and replaced with the original version, I didn't get an error message. If the image was just too poor quality to begin with and I couldn't use the edited version, then I replaced it altogether.
I just don't know if anyone else has had this much trouble with uploading and ordering their calendars. I hope Apple reinstates the low-quality image warning system that tells us BEFORE we try to place an order which images may have problems. Or at least just give us ONE error message after assembling the calendar that includes ALL the offending images (including the thumbnails, not just the file names), so we don't have to go back over and over and over again and have the ordering process be so incredibly frustrating.

Quality concerns when creating a book in iPhoto from images in Aperture

I use Aperture but I still like the ides of creating books in iPhoto as their styles are more suitable to, such things as, holiday photo albums than the styles offered in Aperture. The approach I use is to open iPhoto, use the 'Show Aperture Library' facility, drag and drop the images into iPhoto, and then create a book in the normal way in iPhoto.
The concern is that the imported images into iPhoto are just small jpegs. The original in Aperture may be a 8MB RAW image whereas the imported image into iPhoto, for the purpose of book creation, may just be a 500KB jpeg. This surely must have an effect on the quality of the printed images in the book. Any views, please.

John,
Unless you get the little yellow exclamation mark triangle warning when you put the photo in the book. you should be ok. If not, you may have to recreate the preview for those images back in Aperture. I believe the previews are all that are used in the book. I just had a book printed through Aperture and had no problems with the default half size previews.

How do I make iPad images high quality in Photoshop?

I'm a graphic designer and I tried setting the resolution higher with my 1024 x 768 image but it still looks crappy when viewd on my iPad 2. How do I make the image higher quality when I save it? I use Adobe Photoshop cs4.
Thanks

Photos that are synced via iTunes get 'optimised' during the transfer, though I don't know what the optimisation actually does (and it's not possible, as far as I know, to bypass the optimisation when syncing photos). If you want your versions of the photos on the iPad then you could try the camera connection kit, emailing them to yourself (and then saving to Photos), or one of the wifi photos transfer apps - though the photos will only go into the camera roll/saved photos album (at least until iOS 5 which should allow us to move photos between albums)

I would like to be able to size images by kilobytes instead of pixels--is this possible? I use I-Contact which requires a maximum of 70kb per image. For best quality I want to make the images as close to 70 as possible. Currently I choose a size of 300

I would like to be able to size images by kilobytes instead of pixels--is this possible? I use I-Contact which requires a maximum of 70kb per image. For best quality I want to make the images as close to 70 as possible. Currently I choose a size of 300 pixels on the shortest side but sometimes this gives me an image of slightly greater than 70kb and sometimes the image is just 30-40kb. Is there a way to be more precise in reaching but not exceeding 70 kb?

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
You can opnly resize using the available options and file size is not one of them

How can I make invoice when down payment is bigger than item value ?

Dear all,
please, I need make invoice with bigger down payment than the item value.
How can I make invoice when down payment clearing value is bigger than the item value ?
When I do Release To Accounting, I have got a massage:
"Total of down payment to be billed too high. See billing document item XXXXX"
Please, how can I solve this problem?
Thank you
Peter

Hello,
I would like to underline that this is not a problem, but a standard, and in my opinion rightful behaviour of SAP: in a dowpayment process, when you create the invoice document, you should deduct only an amount less or equal to the invoice amount. And in the following invoices you will deduct the remaining downpayment amounts still open.
Also under al legal and fiscal point of view, I guess how would you print the invoice? With a minus value?
Best regards,
Andrea

Any ideas on keeping images on master pages consistently high quality display when exporting to pdf?

Any ideas on keeping images on master pages consistently high quality display when exporting to pdf?

Set up the Preflight panel so it checks image resolution. Ask your printer what the appropriate resolution is for your printing process, and set that in Preflight.

Pages Image Quality Degrades When Dropped from Desktop or Inserted

I'm having a problem with image degradation when dropping an image from my desktop into Pages. Even though it's a large file, the quality and resolution is obviously reduced when it's dropped into Pages. I can view the file on Preview and in Pages side-by-side and see a dramatic difference.
I'm trying to keep the total file size of a Pages document smaller and more manageable. I'm a photographer too, so I'm familiar with the file size needed for proper resolution, but I'm just not seeing it come through in Pages.
Anyone else having a similar experience? Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks!
-Dan

Hello
Not really surprising.
Pages works using a given resolution (I don't know which one).
When you display a picture from an other app, the res is not the same.
As Pages goal is to print documents, I may easily assume that to spare time, the algorhytm used to display on screen is not a high quality, keeping the high quality one to build the map to print.

How would I make it so that when "deleting" an image I can make it so that the delete key does it or a button I put on the application?

How would I make it so that when "deleting" an image I can make it so that the delete key does it or a button I put on the application?
I want it so that I can use either a button on the designer window or the delete key. I know how to do the or part but the trouble I'm having is coding the button in.
if (LastImageClicked != null && (e.Key == Key.Delete || Button))
This is the code that I have in the format I'm looking for I just don't know how to do it. Thanks for your help!

There are a number of things which are unclear about your question.
I'll tell you one way to approach this though.
Handle Window.PreviewKeyDown.
<Window
Window.PreviewKeyDown="Mainwindow_PreviewKeyDown"
Code behind
private void Mainwindow_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
if (e.Key == Key.Delete)
File.Delete("p001.jpg");
I don't know enough about what you mean by LastImageClicked but you need some way of knowing which path you are going to delete.
Then you might well have a problem if it's showing in an image control.
You will need to copy the picture off disk into a new bitmapimage object.
If you just do
<Image Source="p001.jpg"
Then that image will grab the file and you won't be able to delete it - you'll get an error.
In my experimental code p001.jpg is set as content copy always so it ends up next to the exe in the bin when the solution compiles.
You would probably want a full path to a file there.
Hope that helps.

Does HD Image Quality Decline When Printing Back to Tape?

HD Final Cut Express
Does HD footage quality decline when sent back to tape, i.e. does it get compressed?
Currently, it appears that HD footage burned using iDVD does deminish the image quality.

Hi(Bonjour)!
There is a difference between HDV footage and HDV footage converted to standard definition (SD) for burning a DVD (not an HD nor blue-ray DVD).
When you print to tape a HDV content from FCE HD to your HD camcorder, there isn't degradation (altough your media was converted to Apple Intermediate Codec for wotking in FCE HD and re-encoding to be printed on tape. Re-encoding always means degradation, but you cannot see it with naked eyes.)
When you burn a DVD in iDVD (version 6, current), all your footage is converted to MPEG material in Standard definition (720X480 pixels). since iDVD doesn't support high definition DVD.
In a near future, iDVD (iLife 7 or 8 or...?)(or another application like Roxio TOAST) could support HI-DEF DVD (if you own a HI-DEF DVD burner, to play in a HI-DEF DVD player hooked to a HDTV...).
At this time, your superb HDV content will be monitored in HI-DEF.
Now you can print to tape and monitor on HDTV from your camcorder to see it in full resolution (HD).
