Resolution varies
I just noticed that when I checked the image sizes, some of the photos that I imported into my PC (some very recent and some ten years ago), the resolutions vary from 72 to 300. I really want the higher resolution but do not understand why some are only 72 which is okay for web/viewing on monitor but not for printing which is what I want. Can anyone guide me or offer me advice?
I am using Windows 7 and PSE 11.

The resolution is initially set by the imaging device (camera or scanner) not by PSE. You can use Image> Resize to scale the picture and set the resolution. Doing this without checking the 'resample' box will have the effect of reducing the image dimensions if increasing resolution.
If you want to retain the image dimensions then you must select the 'resample' check box. How good a result you get doing this though is a bit hit-or-miss depending on the original resolution and the sharpness of that image. Try the different algorithms to see which gives you the best results.

Change resolution based on dpi in flex
Hi All ,
In my Flex Application , i am getting image for chart / process from java. Its working fine.
Now my new requirement is :
1) For the first time when getting image the default dpi should be : 72dpi
2) And i should have 2 more options to select 90dpi and 150dpi in flex
and when selecting these dpis , my chart/process resolution should change based on selected dpi in Flex.
Please helpp.....SkR Pasha,
If I understand what you mean, there are two approaches you can take:
1) The easiest way is to just define 3 paths to images, each one being a different resolution:
var img1:String = lowResImage.gif;
var img2:String = medResImage.gif;
var img3:String = highResImage.gif;
Then load the one that is appropriate when the DPI changes.
2) Flex 4.5 includes support for multiple DPIs. First you get the current DPI:
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.applicationDP
Then you use the MultiDPIBitmapSource class to specify which image to use based on the DPI.
Here's an example that you can apply to a standard application (you don't need to write a mobile app to do it):

How to control resolution of exported jpeg
I know I can control the resolution of an exported jpeg through the UI with the Export JPEG dialog box. I'm wondering how to access that setting with the object model. When I export to a jpeg with my script, it seems to use whatever resolution setting was last selected through the UI. I would like my script to explicitly say what resolution to use.
Thanks!Hi Mathew,
Please check the below JS code. I am not use the UI just Prompt to get the input value of resolution.
var myPrompt = prompt ("Enter the Value Resolution Value", '300')
var myFold = Folder("~/Desktop");
var myFile = new File(myFold +"/"+"csmphil.jpg");
SaveAsJPEG(myFile);
function SaveAsJPEG(myFile){
try{
app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = parseInt(myPrompt);
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MAXIMUM;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegRenderingStyle = JPEGOptionsFormat.BASELINE_ENCODING;
app.selection[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, myFile);
}catch(e){};
thx,

How to check the resolution of the image through scripting
How to check the raster image resolution in illustrator through script?
Thanks for your reply.
I have found another script which returns the dpi of linked images.
I am not so good in scripting could you have a look in this and convert to RasterItem.resolution.
var docRef = activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
// We are expecting 1 placed item (image) here!!!
var placedWidth = placedItems[0].width;
var placedHeight = placedItems[0].height;
var placedPath = placedItems[0].file;
// The 2 variables below are global
XpixelDimension = 0;
YpixelDimension = 0;
// Call the function
exifDimensions(placedPath);
// Calculate the Height & Width DPI's
var widthDPI = Math.floor(XpixelDimension / (placedWidth / 72));
var heightDPI = Math.floor(YpixelDimension / (placedHeight / 72));
alert('Width DPI is ' + widthDPI + ' Height DPI is ' + heightDPI);
function exifDimensions(imageFilePath) {
imageFilePath.open('r');
try {
while (imageFilePath.tell() < imageFilePath.length) {
var line = imageFilePath.readln();
var idxOf = (line.indexOf('<exif:PixelXDimension>') > -1) ? line.indexOf('<exif:PixelXDimension>') : line.indexOf('<exif:PixelYDimension>');
if(idxOf > -1) {
if(line.indexOf('<exif:PixelXDimension>') > -1) XpixelDimension = parseInt(line.substring(line.indexOf(">")+1, line.lastIndexOf("<")));
else YpixelDimension = parseInt(line.substring(line.indexOf(">")+1, line.lastIndexOf("<")));
catch (ex) { alert('Fluff');}
finally { imageFilePath.close(); return [XpixelDimension, YpixelDimension]; }
Thanks in advance

DVI to S-Video adapter worth it?
Just bought a MBP and will be connecting to an LCD projector for presentations. Traditionally I have connected via S-video and I've appreciated the ease of set-up.
Is the DVI to VGA connection that much sharper on the screen through a projector?VGA resolution: varies, read wikipedia for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vga
S-Video resolution: 480i or 576i
Component video resolution: 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
If you can use the standard DVI to VGA that came with your MBP, you are better off. S-Video is primarily for TV-Out. -
Can anyone help me out w/ a simple question?
I need a little help getting this to work. This is my first script so go easy on me! 8)
I looked at the forums but being that this is my first script it's still too difficult to decipher everything. In my document that's already open I want the script to make a text box of 50 pixels (for example) and insert my text inside it. Here's what I have...
// Create new text layer
var artLayerRef = activeDocument.artLayers.add()
artLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT
// Make text BOX on text layer
TextType.PARAGRAPHTEXT.width = 50
// Add text to text layer
var textItemRef = artLayerRef.textItem
textItemRef.contents = "My Text Here. My Text Here. My Text Here"
// End
artLayerRef = null
textItemRef = null
It places the text but doesn't put it in a text box. It's just a line of text that extends off of the page. Anybody know what I can do?
Thanks you!Hi Mike, even setting unit values don't seem to work so have to resort back to the 72ppi
var res=activeDocument.resolution;
var artLayerRef = activeDocument.artLayers.add()
artLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT
var textItemRef = artLayerRef.textItem
// Make text BOX on text layer
textItemRef.kind = TextType.PARAGRAPHTEXT;
textItemRef.width = 50/(res/72); //width in pixels
textItemRef.height = 100/(res/72);//height in pixels
// Add text to text layer
textItemRef.contents = "My Text Here. My Text Here. My Text Here." -
I am trying to piece together a maro that will initially resize an image and save it with a different suffix at different size increments. I found within the cs5 scripts folder the macro 'Fit Image.jsx' that would allow me to resize correctly but am lost on how to add in the subsequent save steps and additional resize and saves. I would like to have it save the image with 5 different file sizes and suffixes (400x400 '-2' suffix, 250x250 '-2T', 150x150 '-1', 100x100 '-0', and 50x50 '-2S'). I found some information on the saveas http://forums.adobe.com/message/2652204 but have no experience with javascript. I have some understanding of VBA and believe a loop could be used but haven't the slightest idea how to set this up. Is there anyone out there that could help walk me through this and lend me a hand?

Query on report display in table format on 7970G
Hi,
I know how to use the xml objects to display data on Cisco IP Phone using Ip Phone services. Now I want to generate report in table format on the phone.But in the xml objects available there is no option display data in table format .
Should I have to use BTXML for that ?
or do I have to diaplay it as an image ?
I want to keep the first row as heading and the rest of rows I should scroll and view.
Please let me know how to do that .Please also provide any sample documents or links.
Thanks,
PeterI've never really seen btxml in the wild.. it may be used in environments where people use Cisco phones but connected to SIP proxies, and not callmanagers. I don't think this is the place to discuss btxml.. I've never seen a single mention.. you might find people in Asterisk or similar forums though.
Now, your screenshot shows a CiscoIPPhoneImage.. behind it is a simple PNG image, at a resolution of 298x168 and at 24bits (the shot looks like from an IP Communicator). Depending on the phone type, the resolution varies (IP Communicator and 797x phones have the same resolution but different bit depths, the 7965/54 have a lower res and 16bit, the 7921 supports a resolution of 176x140 at 16 bit).
It's probably easier for you if you stick to the CiscoIPPhoneImageFile instead of the CiscoIPPhoneImage because PNG is a standard, whereas with CIP you either write your own library, or you create a GIF in your code then use Cisco's code to convert that to a CIP file.
For your reference, here's the latest IP Phone services developer guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/all_models/xsi/6_0/english/programming/guide/XSIbook.html. It contains detailed information about every CiscoIPPhone element, including samples.
Creating a PNG file pro grammatically is a bit out of scope of this forum.. you need to figure that one out on your own but there are tons of other boards on the web that deal with that kind stuff. Once you have the PNG, creating the appropriate CiscoIPPhoneImageFile object will be a piece of cake. Once you have your PNG generation in order and still have trouble getting the object to the phone, it would be appropriate to continue here. -
Is it possible to convert inDesign files to jpeg (for web) without fonts breaking up?
We want to include some of our layouts as case studies on our website. The idea is that a preview image will, on rollover, produce a larger version of the image/layout as part of a case study - full size image dimensions from, say, 400px x 300px. However, using the export command (CS3) produces poor quality text even at 'Maximum' at 300ppi - to say nothing of the unacceptable file size! Site to be constructed in Flash. Any ideas?? Thanks. Alex
My apologies if I sounded harsh. I didn't mean to be.
I just wish the world would recognize that there is no such thing as "screen resolution" or "web resolution" in the sense that 72 ppi is an "appropriate" number. When you "save for the web" in Photoshop you are doing any number of things, including downsampling to reduce the number of pixels in the image, and adding compression to make the files smaller still so they will load faster, both of which can make your image useless for print purposes.
That the default might be to save at 72 ppi is irrelevant -- it's just a convenient number. If you open your freshly saved image in Photoshop and go to the Image Size dialog, uncheck "resample image" and change the resolution, you'll see that the file size and pixel counts remain unchanged (along with the screen dispaly in Photoshop), because the image data is unchanged. All you have done is say "If you choose to print this image at 100% size, it should be x units wide and y units tall, and should have (whatever the the value you used) pixels per unit." You can freely scale this, if you wish, knowing the "effective" resolution varies in reverse proportion to the scaling factor.
If you put this image on the web, it will have whatever pixels were saved, regardless of how large or small (in print) those pixels would be rendered.

Marquee tool - size converted to text layer?
Firstly forgive me if this has been covered, the forum search just didn't work, even when searching for a something I could see!
I'm wondering if there is a script that would do the following.
With a rectangular marquee selection
create a new layer
stroke the marquee (1 pixel width)
(then add text, positioned outside the marquee at the top right hand side - in a small font size - to list the width and height)
w: <x>
h: <x>
The purpose is to create a visual reference image for various 2D layout tasks.
Cheers,

Create images with dynamic width from 3 images each (left/center/right-part)
Hello,
i want to employ a script to create images of dynamic width for me. The whole process shall base on different sized sets of images, which contain a left-image, a right-image and a center-image. The desired width for the different cases shall be reached by duplicating the center-image between the two outer images and placing those images next to each other until the image extends to desired width.
The layers importet into Photoshop shall be importet as smart-layers (which i already solved).
Has anyone done something similar already and could give me some useful hints on that issue ?

Exporting from iPhoto - 8 x 10 prints - image inconsistencies
My other half and I are relatively new to digital photography - but we're in something of a bind.
We looking for several dozen 8 x 10 prints (for an exhibition) from images stored in our iPhoto library. We'll be supplying them on disc to a photography bureau for printing. We did some sample 8 x 10s on our own printer, and were dismayed by how the image resolution varies from image to image; some look more pixellated than others. I'm wondering whether this is because of something we've done in iPhoto, since (as I understand it) JPEG resolution diminishes if photos are edited in any way. To my knowledge, we haven't edited the images; they've just sat in the library - although we've copied and exported many of them.
It's making me wonder whether iPhoto is the most suitable application for this kind of work, since it holds everything in the space-friendly JPEG format rather than their original chunky size.
I'd be really grateful for answers to any or all of the following:
1. What activities in iPhoto might have caused the quality of our original JPEGs to have deteriorated, and is there any way of checking this? And can the photos in question be "retouched" in any way? I have access to Photoshop 7, if that's of any help.
2. What format would be the best for exporting the images for the photography bureau (TIFF, presumably?) and are there any tricks or traps to be aware of? I've exported from iPhoto dozens of times, but never in such quantity.
3. In the future, if we want to make larger prints from our digital images, should we be looking to download in RAW format rather than JPEG (the only two formats our camera, a Canon EOS10D, seems to support) - and use an application other than iPhoto? Or would upgrading to iPhoto 6 help us in any way.
Many thanks.Hi, David.
1. What activities in iPhoto might have caused the quality of our original JPEGs to have deteriorated, and is there any way of checking this? And can the photos in question be "retouched" in any way? I have access to Photoshop 7, if that's of any help.
Cropping, perhaps more than anything else, because it reduces the actual number of pixels in the image. Any sort of editing or manipulation followed by saving, when the file is in JPEG format. Every time you save any new change to a JPEG image, the image is re-compressed and further degraded.
If you have your camera save your images as JPEGs, re-save them as uncompressed TIFFS or PSDs as soon as you get them onto your Mac. Do all your editing and manipulating in TIFF, PSD, or some other uncompressed format. You will still have the original JPEG compression artifacts in them, but at least you won't be adding a new layer of artifacts and blurring with every change you save. For best results, shoot all your important images in RAW format instead of JPEG, so they are never compressed at all.
2. What format would be the best for exporting the images for the photography bureau...?
Ask the bureau what format they recommend or prefer. If they can handle .psd files, that format would maximize your own control.
If you have Photoshop 7, there may be no good reason for you to use iPhoto at all. -
