Resizing image from 72 dpi from FCP

When re sizing an image which is 72 DPI in Gimp, exported from FCP, what dimensions should I enter for size of image when transposing to 300DPI? Images into Gimp from Panasonic GH2 are 4976/2800 pixels.
Catherine?

Yes, images coming out of FCP are 72dpi. I can change the dpi in gimp to the required 300dpi for the printer...the image appears very small in an email...so I beleive I should size my image accordingly when i change the dpi...SO my question is what is a standard image size. The image will go in a film festival program. Does one refer to standard photographic inches measurments, like 5 by 7.
I SORT OF GET IT FROM THIS TUTORIAL BELOW BUT NOT 100%
To summarize, the "size" of digital photos on a computer can mean one of two things. First is the amount of disk storage needed, and second is the pixel dimensions (width and height). Neither of them use inches, so DPI (dots per inch) can't describe a digital photo's size on a computer. Dots per inch only makes sense when printing, scanning, or other situations that have a physical component. As mentioned above, DPI describes the function of a device, not the size of a digital photo.
If somebody asks you to email them a 300dpi photo, ask them to show you an inch of email!

Exporting image from FCP 16.9

i am exporting still images from FCP and they are sqooshed , they look more like 4.3 aspect ratio. i know I converted them to 16.9 on the desktop with preview, but i can't reproduce that...any ideas, I don't want to get graphic converter, it's just a few shots.

Open them in QT Player 7 then select Window>Show Movie Properties>Video Track.
Change Scaled Size to the correct figures, deselect Preserve Aspect Ratio and hit return.

Problem trying to batch resize images from bridge.

I am trying to batch resize images from bridge. I am on windows 7 desktop and using CC, I select the images in bridge, tool bar>tools>photoshop>image processor. After doing this, photoshop CC opens but no images open.

open photoshop, open actions pallette, click new action (windows > actions (or Alt+f9)), click record, open your image, resize it, click stop action.
then use file> automate > batch
the action you just recorded will be ready to use, select the folder with all your photos (wise to work on a duplicated folder incase you mess up)
run the action. wait while photoshop opens and resizes the images one by one.
check in folder if the images resized how you expected.

Still images from FCP Studio 2

Ok, I have done it again. I edited a documetnary yet, forgot to have a photographer on the set.
I have captured some great images using my HVX200 but of course when exporting a still from FCP, the resolutin is only 72dpi and I need 300.
Could I import teh stills from FCP into Photoshop and just change the dpi? Would this be suitable for printing the images?
When doing that, it seems just to make them a larger photo.
THANKS!
Lawrence

Yes, you can change the DPI to 300. No, this won't make the images any sharper. They started out 1280x1080, 72dpi. Merely increasing the DPI won't make them higher resolution. It will still look like video. If you hire a photoshop pro, a graphics designer, they might have a few plugins in their toolkit that can help, like Genuine Fracals that help with upscaling smaller images, plus know-how on how to deal with this. But it won't look like it originated from a 12 MP camera.
Suitable for printing? That's up to you. How does it look to you?

External monitor resizing image from timeline

Hi Good Folks
I'm using an 800 x 600 output from FCP and trying to get my VGA external monitor to show me the canvas. I have tried all the permutations of A/V device output - here's what happens: my canvas is playing a clip which is 800 x 466 in origin. I moved to the bottom of the screen as needed and when it is not playing back, the image on my external monitor is correctly seen. When I hit playback, it shrinks vertically about 50% or so... can't figure out why! The external monitor is set to 800 x 600. This worked before with a different version of FCP.
Any advice appreciated!
John

Mr. T-Cat
Thanks for replying. I understand you read and respond to many many posts... I am doing a video art installation in a large gallery and I "map" my video parts onto walls or areas which need to be tweaked with distort parameters or other modifications while in place. I hook up a video projector via VGA to my laptop and finish the video in the gallery. My video projectors work fine at 800 x 600. For video projection 800 x 600 is a standard video resolution. This is a problem with FCS3 as I have used this technique last year w/ FCP6. Motion 4 outputs the correct image and does QT7 & 10. I must have screwed up my sequence settings somehow? I followed another's advice and made an 800 x 600 ProRes422 seq. setting. When I drag a clip into the timeline a pop up window implies that External Video is not optimized, asks Yes or No - advice was No. FCP still says clip doesn't match my sequence settings and crushes the vertical height when playing back even if I drag a full 800 x 600 ProRes clip into my sequence, or say Yes change the seq settings to match.
Thanks
btw, I will the program Isadora outputting 3 video streams (AIC @ 800x600) through a Matrox TH2Go into the three projectors each set at 800x600. The Matrox only does a 2400 x 600 output on my MBP thus the resolution.

Still Images from FCP 4

In dummies terms, how do I create still images from my FCP 4 project, save them in a file and burn them on a CD? i know I set it up in QT Conversion, take the image from VIEWER, but where does it end up once it's saved/ In the TIMELIN? Do I creat In and Out pooints? do I drag it to the TIMELINE? Looked in manual but it doesn't take me all the way. apprciate some help. thanks, Andy

Resizing Images from Web

I just purchased the iwork package (I usually get the Mac Office stuff) and am having trouble with web image files. When I attempt to drag an image from the web to my presentation and resize it it looks very pixelated and fuzzy. What am I doing wrong?

It sounds like you are dragging a thumbnail from the web and when it is enlarged in keynote it is pixelated. Try to find images with a higher resolution. For my classroom presentation I use a lot of photos that I will use only once, and I usually trash them right away, I use flcker frequently for a source of images and I have had no problems, for clip art I use clipart.com but you must pay a membership fee to download the larger sizes.
Hope this help

Resize image from local drive and upload to server

Hi there
I want to allow the user to chose an image from his local
hard drive.
The image should then be loaded into the Flex 2 application.
There I wanna show him infos about the image e.g. height and
width.
He should then be able to scale/resize the image and upload
it to the server.
I have no idea how to do that :-)
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks in advance
Bernd

Well in short, you need a second language to support that,
e.g. PHP/ASP/CF.
First you'll have to build a GUi in which you can upload the
jpg, putting it to the server using php/asp/cf, then you'll need to
make a call to that image, (importing it into your flex), then
you'll have to set the parameters for the resizing, then you'll
have to call a php/asp/cf script which does te resizing

Resize images from table

Hello!
I had following problem.
There is a code, which receives images from one table in RDBMS (images are stored in LONG RAW fields),
reduces them and writes in other table. Here the code:
OracleStatement stmt = (OracleStatement)con.createStatement();
OracleResultSet rs = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery("SELECT image FROM bigimages WHERE IMGID=1");
if (rs.next()) {
InputStream in=rs.getBinaryStream(1);
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("C:\\TMP.JPG");
JPEGImageDecoder decoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(in);
JPEGImageEncoder encoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);
BufferedImage sourceImg=decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
BufferedImage img=scaleToSize(nWidth, nHeight, sourceImg);
encoder.encode(img);
InputStream fStream = new FileInputStream("C:\\TMP.JPG");
try {
OraclePreparedStatement pstmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO smallimages VALUES (?,1)");
pstmt.setBinaryStream(1,fStream,fStream.available());
boolean result = pstmt.execute();
pstmt.close();
} catch (SQLException ex) {}
in.close();
out.close();
backimageresize = true;
rs.close();
stmt.close();
But for some reasons it is necessary to do without the temporary file.
How it to make?

You mean you want to do that without using a temporary file? If so, then use these two modified lines of code instead:
OutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
InputStream fStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray());

How to resize image from 40k to 200k?

I am trying to upload images around 40k to a website but it tells me images must not be less than 200k and to upload higher quality images instead. I have tried everything including save as and save for web, etc., to no avail.
Your help will be much appreciated.

It looks like some of the original images are doing ok in that I am able to adjust their quality by using the Save As slider if the images are big enough to begin with. However if they are already under 200k, I am out of luck. These images were sent to me by a friend to upload for her at the Zillow website. I am afraid she is out of luck as she did not save the originals that were bigger.
I just tried the Save for Web feature and much to my surprise I was able to increase the size from 40 to 208 by increasing the width from 500 to 800, contraining the proportions. It looked too big at that screen, so I thought I lost some of the image. I went ahead and saved it with a different name. Then I closed it and reopend it. Much to my surprise I had not lost any of the picture, and it is at 208k.

WD ABAP - Resizing image from ECC Repository

Hi All,
Our ABAP guys told us that on WD ABAP isn´t possibile to resize a picture that was taken from the ECC Repository.
Our situation is the following: We have develop a new WD ABAP application to run on the Employee Self-Service and our problem is that the customer don´t have any default pictures size, I mean, some employees photos has 800x600 and others 50x50 for example. Is there a way to default/resize a photo on the WD ABAP?
We don´t want to resize all pictures on the original file because we are talking about a lot of photos.
Thanks!
Daniel Kiel

Hi ,
Yes the same application is working fine if checked directly from ABAP WAS.

How to send Images from FCP to Color

Hey guys, so I've pulled some images off the web and slapped them into my timeline. Trouble is when I send them to Color, they don't work. Why is this, is there a work around

How do I resize image?

How do I resize image from 720 to 1080 in after effects?

Have you tried using the Scale property? Click the arrow to the left of a layer's name to expand its properties. Alternatively you can click on the layer in the timeline and press the "s" key to expand the Scale property for that layer. By default, scaling retains the original proportions; if you wish to disable this and scale something out or proportion then uncheck the little "constrain proportions" icon in the Scale property.
An even easier way is to simply click on a layer in the composition view and drag the small boxes at the edges of the layer.

Dragging a large still image from the browser into the viewer crashes FCP

Okay, I've not seen this problem until just a couple days ago but was wondering if it was just me or if everyone has this problem? I've found a work-around, but let me explain the problem first.
I'm creating a growing up photo montage. I scanned all of the pictures myself at 300 dpi (as I've always done in the past) and saved them as TIF files. Some pictures as relatively small, i.e. 3.5 mb is size and do just fine, but it appears anytime I drop a picture into the viewer in preparation for the the timeline, it will crash FCP if the image file is any larger than about 5 or 5.5 MB. Now I know there is a limit on the resolution of a still and it shouldn't be any larger than 4000 pixels in either direction, but that is not my problem, the problem appears to occur with large files. I've used large still files before in past projects without any problem, so this is why I'm stumped. I've went as far as trashing my preferences, but that didn't change anything. I've even tested a still image from a past project that was something around 9 MB (or was it 19 mb?) in any case, it also crashed FCP but... I've used that picture before in past projects without any problem. I even created a new test project just in case my project file itself had a problem.
My work-around is to simply drop the still image from the browser directly into the timeline, thus bypassing the viewer. This works every time without a hitch. I can even double-click on the still now setting in the timeline to load it into the viewer so I can add effects or keyframes or whatever without any problems (thank goodness). So, has anyone else experienced this problem or is it just me?

Is this image saved in a colorspace mode that is anything other than RGB?
CMYK & Grayscale images will cause problems.
Some light reading regarding your choice of 300 dpi: http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html
Unless you plan on panning and zooming your images, the best procedure is to use one of the video preset templates in Photoshop and paste your content into it. Scale and position using the Transform controls. For best results save as a TIFF without compression. Don't forget, always in RGB colorspace.
