Reduce image size and print it out?

I scanned an image (coloring on a postcard). This size is too big to fit into a 'album' picture in MS Picture It! All I want to do is REDUCE the image and save it so that it will fit into the computer photo album I'm creating.
I've tried Image/Resize/Image Size and changed the sizing, but it still comes out the exact same size as the original. What am I doing wrong?

> I want to REDUCE the image, not enlarge it.
I understood that - what makes you think I didn't?
> It's 948x645 pixels. I just want the image about an inch (respectively) smaller
You can't think in terms of inches for screen images. You have to work in pixels and the actual size will depend upon the screen resolution on the machine being used to view the image.
I'd reduce the pixel size by about 80 to get the effect that you want. Use Image/Resize/Image Size and make sure that you have "Resample" checked.

How to Reduce Image Size and show upload Progress Bar

i need to capture an image from the camera and send it to the server. however to reduce the amount of data transmitted i want to shrink the image and lower its resolution.
I have code that currently does the following :
UIImage *testImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image1.png"]; // this would come from image picker
NSData * imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(testImage);
// skipped code that showed URL string setup
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [imageData length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPBody:imageData];
NSURLConnection *conn=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
1. need some way to shrink the image size to reduce data traffic
2. need some way to indicate a progress bar as data is being transfered to the server

1. The size is visible in the metadata panel, set the dropdown to EXIF. In addition, in the Grid, with Ctrl-J, you can set the options so that you will see the cropped size in the rectangle surrounding the photo.
2. You cannot, in one action, upload to multiple galleries. Each upload is its own action. I don't know if there is a plug-in to let you upload from LR to 500px in one action; clearly there are plug-ins for Flickr and Smugmug and several others. There should be no need to re-import. Normally, the plug-ins I mentioned will take a TIFF, resize it according to your directions, convert to JPG and upload.

Iphoto image sizes and printing

I am new to digital photography and printing using iPhoto. The default size I am getting upon importing from my DSLR is 3888 x 2592 (original). What is this scale? What print size will this equate to? I understand the 4x6 and 8x10 size options, but not the 3888 x 2592.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This measurement is in pixels, which is what your screen is made up of, so your photo is 3888 pixels by 2592.
Inches mean nothing on a computer screen, they only come into play when you move into the real world by printing.
As to what size this will print at... Well that depends on what dpi you choose. Dpi means “dots per inch” but Pixels Per Inch is a better description. It refers to the density of pixels on an inch of paper. So, if you choose 1 pixel per inch your print will be 3,888 inches by 2,592 inches. (and look awful). Most folks reckon that 180 dpi is a minimum and even more reckon on 300 dpi for acceptable prints.
So if you divide those pixels by 300 to get a 300dpi print, then you can see that you will get a good quality 12 x 8 inch print. If you're happy to work at 180 dpi then you can achieve a 21 x 14 inch print.

I scanned an old image using my Epson NX515 printer, used GIMP to make some minor repairs on the image and printed it out. I noticed there were a number of evenly spaced thin blue lines across the image, approximately six of them.

I scanned an old image using my Epson NX515 printer, used GIMP to make some minor repairs on the image and printed it out. I noticed there were a number of evenly spaced thin blue lines across the image, approximately six of them. I opened & printed the image on my PC using PAINT.NET. No lines appeared. I sent the image to my daughter. She printed it and found no lines. I printed the image using Seahorse on my Mac and the lines still appeared. I used basically the same print settings on Mac and PC.

did so now, only now I'm getting a slightly different error: could not find udevd no such file or directory. I checked both grub.cfg's and my mkinitcpio.conf and there's no listing for udevd ....which I've never heard of, so I assumed it was a typo?
For clarification: udev is in the mkinitcpio.
I'm not sure whether I yet have a good intuition for how you have your machine set up, but I suspect you need to include a cryptdevice flag to the kernel in your grub config. The file isn't found because the kernel doesn't know your root directory needs decrypting first.
My setup is an LVM over LUKS over LVM sandwich. To boot into my system, the grub.cfg contains the line:
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/cryptvg-root cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/vg-crypt:root rootfstype=ext4 pcie_aspm=force acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 ro
Now, most of those flags don't have anything to do with your problem, but note the cryptdevice. It tells the kernel it's dealing with an encrypted filesystem sitting in a logical volume called crypt on a volume group called vg. The bit after the colon tells the kernel to associate this encrypted filesystem with /dev/mapper/root.
As for how to fix your system, I'm afraid I still feel a bit fuzzy about how your LVM and encrypted layers relate to each other, whether you have LVM over LUKS, or LUKS over LVM, or something else. Was there a particular how-to that you followed?

I customize my paper size and print size and am then viewing a photo on my screen. I print it out and it chops off about 5% of all edges of my original photo on the screen. Why does it do that? It is driving me crazy. I use an Epson Photo 2200 printer.

What print and paper sizes are you using? Are you trying to print a borderless print? Does your printer support borderless for that particular size? Are you printing to the custom stock size or to a larger stock size?

Reduce image size ( un-enlarge )

I have a digital image of a house. I want to make a Christmas tree ornament that will have a picture of just the front door. The door in a 4x6 print is about 3x4. I want to reduce that to about 2x3. I am only able to print on 4x6 paper, so I want to reduce the image size then print a 4x6 which would orobably have a large white border.
How can I do this?

Cliff
1. Open picture file
2. Access rectangular marquee tool. In the options bar, select mode:fixed size, enter w=2", h=3". Position the box with the "marching ants" to include the door.
3. Go to Image>crop
4. Go to Edit>copy. This puts the door on the clipboard.
5. Open a new blank file, background white, 4X6", the size of your paper stock, and set resolution the same as that of the picture. Note that for printing it is desirable to have a resolution of 240-300px/in
6. Go to Edit>paste
The parameters in step #2 can be refined to reflect the actual door size.
If you want to have a background other than white, you certainly can to this. In step #5, you can select the foreground color of your choice. Just set the foreground color chip (lower left) to the desired color.
It is also possible to paste the selection on to a texture background, etc.
HTH. Let us know how you make out.

Reducing Image Size Problem

I am trying to reduce the size of an image for a friend, however when she prints the image out is is coming out as an 8x10. In Elements 6 I have the rulers up, and I have done "Image->Resize->Image Size" and have adjusted the width to be 2.5 inches and the height automatically adjusts to 1.8 inches, which is perfect for the frame my friend has, and then I click ok. I have the "rulers" on in the editor, and I can see on the screen that the image is now in fact 2.5 x 1.8 inches.
Does anyone have any suggestion as to what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!

You need to set the resolution field to 300, and then make sure
"resample" is checked at the bottom of the screen. Then, Save As a new
file - maybe FileName-2x1.jpg, and see if that doesn't do it. If you
don't resample, it is just changing the display of the pixels, not
really removing them.

Image size and dimensions in Safari

Is there a fast method of viewing image size and dimentions in Safari? I can open image in new tab and see its width and height in tab/window name. I can save image to the Desktop and see file size but it's not convenient. Is there some another way without opening an saving image somewhere like Control+click -> Properties?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Pat,
You don't need to set the image size as such. The image prints on the page according to two sets of criteria:
1. Whether you set dpi to custom or a specific value, and
2. The page margins you set either as a printing once-off, or as a new printing pre-set.
For example, I print "arty" photos in a portrait format on A4 matte paper. Left and right margins are around 3cm, top margin is around 3cm, bottom margin is around 5 cm (all numbers are from memory...). I have a title just below the image.
I created this particular page setup for a certain photo and liked it so much I saved it as another print preset. Any photo I print using that preset fits within the margins defined. The very next print might be the same photo, but this time printing A3+ on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl. Choose the photo, select the relevant print pre-set, print. Re-sizing is irrelevant - the print in both cases is coming from the processed raw at maximum resolution.

Calx

How do you change the image size and resolution in photoshop everytime I change the width the height changes my measurements will not stay

Can someone assist me with changing image size and resolution. each time I change the width the height changes and vice/versa?

There's a chain link between width and height. The point is to keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise your picture would get stretched.
You click on the chain-link to shut that off and you can adjust width and height separately.
Also could you give us your version of Photoshop, what OS you are running it on (Windows 7 for example) and what exactly you want to do with your document?
Resolution is the print term for how many pixels will be printed on an inch of paper. It doesn't apply if your image is intended for screen viewing.

Reducing app size and using memory

Building with release preference Blank App template will give you a ~200kb .exe, which in running state use ~7mb of memory.
It has a huge list of external dependencies.
So, is it possible to reduce app size and using memory?
Or, how safely unlink from app headers that really didnt used?

generally speaking premature optimization is not a good idea.
Normally those tricks we learned from stone age are picked by tools already.
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6215782/do-unused-functions-get-optimized-out)
So if you experice performance/optimization issue
optimization ususally goes with repeated measure -> optimize -> verify

Image size and type

what Icon / Image size and type we should use of our own menu ?
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,
I'm not sure what restrictions there are on image type but I always use a 24bit Bitmap image with width 18px and height 14px. For transparency, set the background colour to RGB 192-220-192 and SBO will automatically make this area transparent, regardless of the colour scheme the user has on the client.
Kind Regards,
Owen
