Rendering very high-resolution image sequence

I'm in the process of rendering a very high-resolution image sequence (8k, 2:1 aspect ratio). Yes, in this case it really is necessary to render such a large image.
Not entirely surprisingly, I'm getting an error during rendering. "Unable to allocate space for an 8000x4000 pixel image buffer."
I have a relatively powerful machine (Mac Pro, 8 cores, 16gb ram, plenty of hard drive space)
How should I tune the memory settings for this process? Also, are there any "under the hood" tweaks that I can make in AE to optimize it for rendering these large files.
Thanks!

We get questions like this often around here and I, too, will be interested by the destination for this rendering.
Such a mosaic cannot be displayed from a single device so it's not necessary at all to render it as a complete frame. If you are going to a digital signage system, there are workarounds for importing the source video that should be provided by the signage driver's mfr. If you're going out to several synced display systems, render them as individual movies.

Very High Resolution PDFs for iPad

Hello,
A friend gave me a few PDF files created from very high resolution pictures to view on my iPad.
I loaded the PDF files on iBooks and so far so good. The problem is that when I swipe from a PDF page to another the image doesnt appear immidietly. It takes some time and the image is blur before it appears... After is fine but I want to remove this delay.
Does anyone knows any proper method to view high resolution PDF on iPad without delay when changing pages ? Or how what method or format to follow so to make them proper ?
Thanks in Advance.

What PDF reader are you using? Perhaps there is one out there that renders files better.
However, if the images are large then there is only so much that can be done. That delay is caused by the device processing the image. If you find a more efficient reader that may help. But you may also want to consider tweaking with those images, knocking them down just a bit and find that sweet spot where they're still of a good quality but not so large that they push the boundaries of what the device can handle.

Increasing physical dimensions of high resolution image?

I have an image that I want to use in a video, though it is not physically large enough to fill the 1920 x 1080 dimensions of the video, though it has a 300ppi resolution and video only needs 72ppi. How do I take advantage of the fact that it is high resolution image, and increase the physical dimensions of the image? Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

Hi Marian.
Thanks for the excellent link. And I believe it is spot on.
***Warning: This is an off topic rant. And it's over 500 words.***
I did not get my first computer until 2001. Although I am a scientist at heart (university trained in chemistry and physics), and quite comfortable with technology, there was something deep within me that was resistant to buying a computer. Almost an inner foreboding. Even though I had already been using corporate computer nets (not the internet) since 1979, the PC seemed ominous to me.
And the internet seemed even more ominous. To the point that I didn't hook up to the web until 2006. I had a sense that the web was a double edged sword, and had the potential to diminish its users. Even though I had never been on line and had very little idea of what it was really all about. What I found was what I feared. A wasteland punctuated by oases of useful information. A wasteland in the literal sense. For every second saved on the task at hand, a minute is wasted by the distractions that bombard us on the way to saving that second.
I'm not saying that the web is bad. Just that it's fraught with danger. And the worst danger is the notion that a concrete answer to every question is just a Google away. And with that, the odieous notion that every question can be answered comprehensively in one quarter of an internet page, leaving the rest for advertising.
I do quite a bit of writing, and my first experience at writing for the internet was a disaster. Among other things, I am a fly fishing guide. A new internet fly fishing magazine had requested I submit a series of articles. Personal anecdotes about my experiences. The first article I submitted was about 2400 words. They loved it, but they said it said it was too long. So, I did a rewrite. It came in at 1800 words. And the rewrite took more time and effort than writing the original 2400 words. And the article was diminished. And still too long. They wanted it shorter.
At this point, I dug in my heels. I admitted I understood such constraints on paper publishing, but how could they insist on such constraints on web publishing? How much does is cost to add a web page to an article? It's just another page they could slather with advertising. To which they replied, no one will read an article longer than 1200 words. I was flabbergasted. I like long articles and books. I'm bummed when I come to the end. In the end, these folks had an editor hack it down to 1200 words and publish it over my signature without my knowledge or permission. When I saw the article, I was appalled. I didn't recognize it. And demanded they take it down.
Maybe the publisher was right about his readers having short attention spans. I hope not, but I'm afraid it's true. And this mindset is the 500 pound gorilla in the room that few want to address.
I'm not by any stretch suggesting we should turn back the clock of progress. Only that we need to be aware of the negative potential of any new technology. And resist that negative potential with all our hearts. Or our minds will suffer.
FWIW.
Peace,
Lee

How to make high resolution image?

Hi All, I am in an urgent requirement where I have few .tif images. There size is very high. When I am uploading, there resolution is not good and they are automatically converted to jpg.
Can some one tell me "How to make this image high resolution image" Is there any setting or tips and tricks?
Reply immidiatly,

The original image is in MDM. I think what you may be getting confused by is the thumbnail view. The thumbnail view is automatically generated to give you just a low res view of the original from within MDM, likely for the sake of performance.
If you go to the Images table and right click on the image and select "view original" you will see that the high res original that was loaded is still there. You can also create image variants through the Console to generate other versions of the original to use for web or print. I don't think you can change the defaults used for the thumbnail.

Is there a way to take a high resolution image, and trace it in a lower resolution?

Layers appear to need to be all in the same resolution, so I'm thinking layers are out. Is there any other ways to do this?

Hi Trevor, thanks for responding!
Basically, my goal is to use a higher resolution image as the basis for pixel art, but underlaying the higher resolution source picture under a much lower resolution layer, and "trace" out the basis for the pixel art on top of it. I suppose it would be a bit like onion skinning, but I'd need the two (layers? canvasses?) to be of radically different resolutions to accomplish what I'm trying to achieve. It's not a "size" issue, as I'd want the top to be the same physical size as the bottom, just have the top be, let's say 64 pixels by 64 pixels, and the bottom image to be 800 pixels by 800 pixels.
If that doesn't make sense, let me know, and I'll have another go at it!
Thanks very much!

Very high resolution after update

I just finished update after 2-weeks holiday, and... X start it very high resolution: 2048x1536. I have 1024x768 in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, log shows that this file is used. How it is possible that higher mode is initialized? I use Linux for about 10 years but it's first time I see something like this.
PS. this is probably related to xf86-video-ati update, I use Radeon 9800 Pro.

does it happen in the login page? cuz i have the same problem (my monitor doesnt even show image because of the ress being so high)
but i have a x1650pro so shouldnt be a card problem..

Want a higher resolution image of an email Collage (Created in iPhoto)

Situation:
I created the image below using a iPhoto template (Cork Board) in the (Share -> mail) option. Unfortunately the resolution of the final image is pretty low. (Final image is just 434 kb)
Problem:
I want to take canvas print of a size of at least 12 X 16. My local photo shop tells me that I need a higher resolution image for a clear print.
Can somebody help me figure a way to increase the resolution of this image??

That template is designed just for emailing and not for printing at the recipients end as the actual image files are added to the email as attachments.
If you want to create a stylish 12 x16 or larger poster use an application designed for that. You could use Pages (part of iWork) to create a poster with fancy frames, background etc. For posters with just many photos OmniGraffle is a very good application (but maybe a bit pricey). I created this 20 x 30 poster with it:
Click to view full size
But Pages would give you the most possibilities for design.

High ram usage when loading high resolution images

Hello,
I'm wondering why Firefox almost hangs my system while opening high-resolution images like this one (save your data, you have been warned):
http://minecraft.1favre.de/output.png
While opening, it involves X process to use CPU and a lot of memory (it's freed shortly after loading the image). Other browsers don't do that. Moreover, other browsers don't do any problems with such images, they load it fast and efortless. I Have 2GB of RAM.

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto.

What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

Is it possible to convert a PDF to a high resolution image with ColdFusion?

I would like to determine how to convert PDFs to high resolution images using ColdFusion.
I'm running ColdFusion 9,0,0,251028 on CentOS 5.5 with Apache 2.2.3.
The <cfpdf action = "thumbnail" ...> is all well and good for creating 72 dpi images of a PDF, but I need to be able to create 300 dpi images of a PDF.
The PDFs in question have a much higher level of detail available than 72 dpi.
The related scale attribute for the action="thumbnail" functionality has an accepted range of 1 to 100, but an example of what I need is something more like a value of 415.
I should mention that I did try to use the jpgdpi attribute, and set it to 300 dpi . . . which produced a JPG that was indeed set to 300 dpi, but still had the same pixel dimensions as the 72 dpi image, so this did not affect the pdf to jpg conversion process in any way to make the image higher resolution.
Alternatively, would another possibility be to use ColdFusion to alter the dimensions of the pdf to be 415% of its original dimensions in memory, and then output a 100% thumbnail of that altered PDF? Is this possible? I can not for the life of me work out how to alter the set dimensions of a PDF via ColdFusion, in order to determine if this would have an affect on the size of the thumbnail produced.
Or more broadly, how would you use ColdFusion to convert a PDF to a (or a series of) high resolution images?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Another idea:
Use a third party tool with CFEXECUTE if there's no other way. As you're on Linux you could easily run ghostscript on the command line to do it. gs lets you specify filetype as the device and also has options for resolution. For Windows there's gs as well (not sure though what it's command line capabilities are there) or tools like this: http://www.softinterface.com/Convert-PDF-To-Image/Convert-PDF-To-Tiff.htm

Zoom into high resolution image

Hi,
Before starting to learn Muse, I've one big need: zooming into high-resolution images.
I want to show how high the resolution is by letting the viewer zoom in with a loupe (or just scrolling with mouse wheel). I'm not talking about of a slideshow through some crops of the main image, but of an shrink- or grow effect of the image.
Is this possible to achieve?
Thanks for your insight,
Dominique

Could this be the solution, you are looking for?

Sending "high resolution" image to a magazine

Greetings,
I have to send a "high resolution" image to a magazine, but I don't know what they mean exactly. I guess I need to send the highest quality photo possible. What export settings do I use in Aperture? I shot the image with a Nikon D40 (6mp) in RAW that was originally in iPhoto then imported to Aperture 3. What ppi, what resolution? TIFF or JPEG? Frankly, I'm lost. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
Usually magazine's specify what criteria they want when taking photographs,ppi for example, it could be worth asking them.
For example most people edit in the sRGB colour range but frequently magazine's ask for Adobe1998 colour range, you will have to check...
you can export from Aperture in whatever format you like...
In Aperture select (left click) the photo's you wish to export > then go to file > export > version
Or just right click the photo > Export > Version.
In the window that appears where it says 'Export Preset' > click the drop down arrow and select >Edit
Here another window appears and you can choose whatever format you would like to export your photo as..... click ok when you are done. you can export to your desktop then burn to disc or email to your editor.
Aperture exports only a full res 'version' or copy, of your picture, your original remains with you.
Dont forget to append your personal data to the picture. ie copyright, contact details etc you can do this in the metadata tab in the library editor in Aperture (left hand side of your screen)
Tiff is the largest file size but I would definitely give them a call and get their specification from them, that way you wont hack the editor off by supplying the wrong format and miss the deadline.... or sale of your picture.
Hope this helps
Regards...... Gerry......

Burning a disk of high resolution images

I am new to Lightroom, so am asking what is likely a really basic question.
Up to now, once I finish processing images, I simply post them online. Now, I would like to burn a disk of several high resolution images (by this I mean 300 dpi J-Pegs, unless someone thinks otherwise)
How do I do this?
Thanks!
SF Ellen

You'll be wanting to use the Export window (File menu or Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+E). When it opens you will need to configure it for burning to DVD/CD as shown in Step 1 of screen shot (Burn Full-Sized JPEGs). Ignore the file-out menu. I've shown a quality value of 90%,but anything from about 60% up is OK (below 60% is best avoided).
In Step 2 I changed the resolution from the default 240ppi to 300ppi.
