Resizing questions

I have my own large format printer which accepts 54" wide rolls of media. I plan on printing a number of photos on canvas, and am wondering about a few things:
- If I wish to make a 40" x 30" print, what is the correct way to re-size the image in PhotoShop (CS6)? Out of my camera, the images are 4592 x 3448 px, so do I simply punch in 40" x 30" in the "Image Size" menu, and then select "Bicubic Smoother (for enlargement)"? (see attached image). Or should I just re-size the image in the RIP software?
- Some of the images were shot in Raw, but some as JPG. For the ones that were shot Raw, should I also save them as JPGs before printing, or is TIF better? My RIP will handle JPG, TIF, PDF, EPS.

regarding resizing, there are various upresizing applications out there, but none that do a great job IMO. Photoshop CC (due out 17th June) has what looks to be an excellent upsizing tool, but we need to try it for ourselves before deciding for sure how good it is. As it stands, you'd be printing at 115dpi which is not a total disaster, because no one is going to be getting up close to a 30x40 inch print. So go with what you have now; wait till the 17th and either invest in a CC subscription (or ask some one nicely to up size it for you). Of the apps currently available, On-One's Perfect Resize does an OK job. You could maybe download the trial version, but I don't know if it is fully fnctional.
Regards saving in a different format, I would gennerally tend to print the processed RAW file before I saved it, or save as a PSD. For the JPGs if you are going to do some processing and print later, then probably save as TIFF or PSD.

Resize question for gallery

I need to run a slide show in "kiosk" mode where the image
takes up as much of the screen as possible. The screen will be set
to 1024 x 768, so basically I need to make sure the images either
show at 100% because they fit, or reduced to about 85% because I
know some of them are too big for kiosk mode.
We are hoping to avoid having to create a sub-library of
images that are resized down to 85%.
Yes, I know resizing in the browser will cause degredation,
but the max size of each image was decided on before we dreamed up
the kiosk mode. So, new images going forward will be resized to the
right size, but we can't resize the existing ones.
QUESTION: Can Spry handle the task of resizing an image to a
max height? Or can it only spit out what I put in?

Hi dbonneville,
If your XML has the image widths and heights embedded in it,
you can use an onPostLoad observer on the data set to run through
each row of the data set to constrain the image width/heights to
the proper dimensions.
Something like this:
var dsPhotos = new Spry.XMLDataSet("photos.xml",
"/gallery/photos/photo");
dsPhotos.addObserver(ConstrainPhotoDimensions);
function ConstrainPhotoDimensions(notificationType, notifier,
data)
if (notificationType != "onPostLoad")
return;
var maxWidth = 200; // Change this to whatever you want.
var maxHeight = 200; // Change this to whatever you want.
var rows = dsPhotos.getData(true);
var numRows = rows.length;
for (var i = 0; i < numRows; i++)
var row = rows[ i ];
var w = parseInt(row[ "@width" ]);
var h = parseInt(row[ "@height" ]);
var ratio = (w > h) ? ((w <= maxWidth) ? 1 :
maxWidth/w) : ((h <= maxHeight) ? 1 : maxHeight/h);
row[ "@width" ] = w*ratio;
row[ "@height" ] = h*ratio;

P.S.
I just typed that in real-time, so I haven't actually tested
it in a real browser.

Jpeg resize question:

As it's been suggested, resizing photos for an SD project to 1000 X 750 pixels seems to work quite well, yielding nice videos.
However, is there a suggested size for reducing images to be used in a widescreen HD projects that some will in turn be cropped to 16 x 9 to fit the screen?
Thanks,

What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system it is running?
What are the original pixel dimensions of your photos? How many of them will be in use in the Premiere Elements project?
Is the Premiere Elements Timeline destined for DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD format on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
The classical response to photo sizing is often seen as SD not to exceed 1000 x 750 (landscape orientation) and HD not to exceed must more than 1920 x 1080. But, with versions like 10, 11, or 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, those recommendations, I believe, can be stretched somewhat depending on the level of computer resources and number of photos involved. But, remember, that however high the resolution is, the end product will have the resolution inherent in the end product specifications.
If photos are 3:2 and destination is a 16:9 one, I would go for cropping and resizing before import into Premiere Elements. If photos are 16:9 and destination is a 16:9 one, then I would go with resizing before import into Premiere Elements.
Pending further developments, I would look at photos 1920 x 1080 brought into a Premiere Elements 11 or 12 project with project preset manually set for
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p 30 @ 29.97
or
its PAL counterpart
And, then the burn to disc to DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD format on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
Please review. Any questions or need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Interlaced footage and resize question

Ok I am finishing a past project of creating DVDs from VHS.
Ok I have my clips captured they are DV-DVCPRO NTSC. I used audio filters to remove the audio hum from the VCR.
I want to remove the black border from the side and top of the video. Now my question is if i scale the video to fit wont that offset up the fields.
I am expecting to have 60i footage when I'm done.
Should I use Shake and separate the fields resize then re interlace them.

It's like a public access studio where they videotape live talk shows and that kind of thing. Below is a photo of it. Analog basically means they're shooting and recording the footage in the studio in NTSC analog where the pictures are interlaced one line at a time. They're also recording the output onto some kind of capture box (I have no idea what kind). Afterward, they're exporting the footage to whatever file you need. The exports they gave me were MOV but I noticed that my Premiere kept crashing every time I tried to edit and then export a finished edit. So I took the MOV files and converted them to MP4, which now works fine in my copy of Premiere. Below (the second to last link) is the converted MOV to MP4 file that dropped into Premiere for editying.
Download the BENS and SIMON exports below:

Below is the converted MOV to MP4 footage I mentioned above:

Noob resize question

My apologies in advance if this an "easy one" that I missed, but I'm trying to resize a video clip (ideally I'd like to simply "crop" the video, but at this point I'll take resizing the height and width - BEFORE I get to the Encoder). I've done it in After Effects, but how does one do this in Premiere Pro? I'm on CS4.
Thanks again,
Rich

Very simple Java AWT Frame resize question

In the following code, I create an awt Frame. Unfortunately, when I run the resulting Java application (on Windows) and use the mouse to resize the window, none of the Frame's resize/setSize methods get called. Can anyone explain why this is?
Thanks
Greg
import java.awt.* ;
public class Junk extends Frame {
public static void main (String args[])
Junk j = new Junk ();
j.show ();
public void resize(Dimension arg0)
super.resize(arg0);
public void resize(int arg0, int arg1)
super.resize(arg0, arg1);
public void setSize(Dimension arg0)
super.setSize(arg0);
public void setSize(int arg0, int arg1)
super.setSize(arg0, arg1);
}

When the user resizes the frame with the mouse, the resizing action probably happens entirely on the Frame's peer, without the java.awt.Frame getting involved at all. setSize() and [deprecated] resize() allow an application to programmatically change the size of a Frame, but the Frame just passes the new size to its peer.
If you want to detect when your Frame has been resized, use addComponentListener to register a component listener on the Frame, and then put your code in the componentResized method of the listener.

Photo resizing question

Hello, I'm using Lightroom 5 and have a question regarding the file size. A photo I took with a Nikon D90 was downloaded and is 5.7 mb, I processed it and some cropping and color corrections came out amazing, my question is this. The corrected size has been downloaded to a file but reduced to 622 kb, quite a bit smaller than the original. Was this done by an automatic setting? I'm asking because the corrected version is scheduled to be sent to a printer who is going to make some 8X10 color handout cards (the photo is of a race car) for the public and I was concerned that the quality might be different as the re-sizing. I've not heard back from the printer so I was trying to get some info about this issue. Thanks for any help that might be issued.

Exporting as a JPG will normally result in a decrease in FILE size, but not a reduction in IMAGE size. So, this is perfectly normal, and I don't see this as unusual or worrisome.
Furthermore, you are looking at the wrong measure. FILE size and megabytes tells you nothing, and will mislead you. Thus, I suggest to you that the comparison of going from 5.7 megabytes to 622 kilobytes is completely meaningless and useless. The IMAGE size, measured in megapixels, (or equivalently dimensions width x height) is what you need to be paying attention to. If you want to print at 8x10, and you use the "usual" level of quality of 300 pixels per inch, then you need 2400x3000 pixels (or more) in your exported photo. But you don't tell us what the IMAGE size is.

JFrame resizing question

When i resize a JFrame the components it hold remain unchanged until I stop resizing the frame. Then the components conform to the frame size. Is there a way to have the components resize dynamically?

Thank for the answer, that's exactly what I nedded!

Resizing question for importing photos to ipod

hi
i was wondering if the ipod resizes images when i import them.
i used to resize them manually (in photoshop) for 720x480 before i imported onto the ipod through itunes.
now i have several hundred i want to load and they are 2272 x 1704 pixels and several megs apiece. so instead of batch resizing them in photoshop, i was wondering if itunes/ipod will resize and optimize the file size or does itunes/ipod resize the image for "display only" and keep the original file size the same. i would like to have the images optimized for disk space so i can put more photos and music on it
thanks

iTunes does optimise photos before they are transferred to the iPod (you can see a message in the window at the top of iTunes as it does it). It does not change the dimensions of the photos to fit the iPod screen, but it does reduce the resolution and file size. It also creates a very small version that you can see when there are multiple images on the iPod screen
If you select the option to include the originals in iTunes it will then store the original file, a version optimised for the iPod screen and the tiny little thumbnails as well.

Document Resizing question - InDesign CC

In previous versions of InDesign that I've used, if I had something centered on a 12" x 18" page (so centered at 6" x 9"), I could decide to change the document setup size to a different sized paper, for example 13" x 19". When I would do that, it would basically add 1/2" to all 4 sides evenly and my art would remain centered with a new point of 6.5" x 9.5". When I do this in InDesign CC, my artwork stays at the 6" x 9" and is no longer centered. Is there a preference setting or something I can do to fix this and make it add or subtract my new page size evenly to keep my art centerd??
I'm using a Mac, OS X 10.6.8.
Thanks in advance!

A discussion like this had been posted before, and as I do research, I also found out that some Adobe InDesign users is already aware of this. A related topic for this one is here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5445588#5445588
And other website:
http://idsecrets.wpengine.com/resize-page-from-upper-left-corner.php
So, lets just hope that adobe include a fix for this since adobe is already working out an enhancement since InDesign CC is also sluggish compare to adobe InDesign CS6.

JButton wont resize - Question not Problem

Hi,
I'm wondering if you can give me the reason behind this behaviour.
If you add a button to a panel, then call setSize(), the button doesn't resize itself on the panel. I've tried setting the setPreferredSize method as well, but the button always stays as the size it was created.
I know there are work arounds, but how come you cant just set the size of a button on an empty panel?
Cheers
Dave

setSize(...) won't work, because the LayoutManager will override whatever you set. (Although setSize(...) is require when using a null LayoutManager).
setPreferredSize(...) should work. If it doesn't then you have something wrong with your program.

CS 5.5 3D resize question

I am using CS5.5 with Windows 7.
I just got it, loaded it this morning and went to play with 3D. It's fairly intuitive and I'll study more but I created some 3D images\objects and was placing them in a new psd each on their own layer.
I tried to resize the 3D objects within my new file and couldn't do it. I searched the forum for something on this and couldn't find anything definitive. All seem to point to the fact I have to determine my "final" size within the 3D creation. I want to place several 3D images into one psd.
Is there a way to resize outside of the 3D tool?
Thanks in advance for any help.

You could use the 3d Object Scale Tool.

Resize question...

Ok... I have been using java for a few months self taught... I have a Swing project that I have done that works completely. What I want to implement now is a resize code for it that basicly reads the screensize resizes the frame to it then resizes all the components on the frame...
Yes i have tried all the diffrent layout managers but they never work correctly once the form resizes... here is my basic starting code (taking out alot of it as there are hundreds of lines of code here because of all the swing components)
public class FrameMain extends javax.swing.JFrame {
    //development width and height
    private static double DEVX = 800;
    private static double DEVY = 600;
    //getting current screen width and height
    private double CurX = (int)java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().getWidth();
    private double CurY = (int)java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().getHeight();
    //The change of development size to current size
    private double DeltaX = CurX/DEVX;
    private double DeltaY = CurY/DEVY;
    public FrameMain() {
        //Resize the frame works correctly
        this.setBounds(0, 0, (int)this.CurX, (int)(this.CurY - (20 * DeltaY)));
        jpanelMain.setLayout(null);
        jpanelMainTop.setLayout(null);
        jlabelZoneNumberLabel.setText("Zone Number:");
        //resize the font
        jlabelZoneNumberLabel.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Comic Sans MS", 0, (int)(14 * DeltaY)));
        jpanelMainTop.add(jlabelZoneNumberLabel);
        jlabelZoneNumberLabel.setBounds((int)(5*DeltaX), (int)(5*DeltaY), (int)(101*DeltaX), (int)(20*DeltaY));
    //all the rest of the components here
}Initial tests on it work fine, but before I get too deep into doing all of the components like that does anyone have a better way or can point me to a class that will do this for me... Or point out why it cant possibly work correctly...
Thanks,
Alynn

Sscotties, are you saying that setLayout(null) really doesn't work at all, or that it won't work for his application?
In reality, it does work, you use absolute positioning (component.setBounds(int x, int y, int width, int height)) to place the component where you want it to go. This does work, but you have to do it for every component in the container, or nothing will show up...
As for his application, that may be a different story, as you will not automatically be updating the size and placement of the components. You would have to make a call to a method that sets out all the components whenever a resizing event occurs (such as a resetLayout(int deltaX, int deltaY) or somesuch...
Some Layout Managers do a good job of re-sizing components and such, like GridLayout and I like BoxLayout. But they will hold to the components PreferredSize, which the null layout won't, unless you force it to. So if you resize things too small to fit in the container, with a Layout Manager they can overlap, in absolute positioning, you may make them too small to read... So it is up to you in the end which you prefer...

Cfx_image resizing question

<cfx_image action="RESIZE" y="150" x="150" etc etc...>
Trying to get the max x or y dimension to be 150px. It only
seems to rezize
the x to 150 if x>150px and the y can still remain >
150.
I'de like it to act more like the thumbnail option and resize
to within 150
x 150 (the default thumbnail is 100 x 100).
Do I have to run the tag twice (changing the input files of
the second to
match the output files of the first, say:
<cfx_image action="RESIZE" x="150" etc etc...>
<cfx_image action="RESIZE" y="150" etc etc...>
hopefully there is a better way?
TIA.

Probably simple batch resize question :_

Hi, I am trying to create an action to batch resize a folder of images, and when I hit Run, I am asked for the jpeg quality for every file, which defeats the purpose of creating an action.
I am using File>Automate>Fit Image Inputting dimensions, hitting OK, and stop recording.
What am I doing wrong please?

Is the Destination > Save and Close?
Have you tried using File > Scripts > Image Processor without any Action?
