Screen Dumps - Reducing the size

Hi. I am doing up a User Guide and need to use a load of
screen dumps of the software. I do 'Print Screen" Command and the
paste into Fireworks. I then reduce the image down. However, all
the pixels start to look very bad and i cannot get a nice picture
to post into Framemaker. I can actually past the screen dump into
Word, reduce it, and it seems to maintain the pixel qulity.
Any assistance would be appreciated. NOTE: Framemaker or
Photshop forum was not up and running, hence i come here.

First thing you forgot to mention is: what is the supposed
output? Is your
Guide supposed to be printed, or viewed on screen? This is
something of
major importance.

How do I reduce the size of a graphic in Preview and maintain resolution?

Preview 6.0.1
Hi,
I have a graphic in Preview. The largest file is a .jpg at 77 KB. Information about the graphic is in the attached "Adjust Size ScreenPreview Galleon 77.
I find that when I reduce the size of the file using Previews menu bar functions that I usually use — Screenshot>Zoom reduce>Select the smaller picture>Screenshot — that the result is an image that has lost the focus, the resolution of the original graphic.
How do I reduce the size of a graphic and maintain resolution? I've never used the Adjust Size Screen functions.
I'm not stuck on having to use Preview to accomplish this, but I do use Preview a lot.
Thanks,
Rafael

Choose a smaller width, the height will adjust appropriately, and the resolution will stay the same.

How can i reduce the size of Images in MIDlet

Better you can use Canvas class and using drawImage() function you can show the image. Before that you have to Get the maximum size of your phone screen using the following:
x = (width/2) - (image.getWidth()/2);
y = (height/2) - (image.getHeight()/2);

Set location of components and reduce the size

I want to resize JavaFX component and shrink the components which are next to it. Here is the result which I get:
When I click on the angle of this component I can resize it down and right.

The components which are next to it are pushed down and right. Part of them are behind the visible part of the screen.
http://i.stack.imgur.com/rsi0L.png
All components are placed in BorderPane,VBox,HBoxand againBorderPane. I don't want to allow components to move. I want to shrink them and use Scrollpane` when their size is reduced. Can you give me some hits how to solve these two problems?

I did something similar the other day. Based on the resizing of the scene I adjusted the position.
widthProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
    @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> observableValue, Number oldSceneWidth, Number newSceneWidth) {
        widthChange((Double)oldSceneWidth, (Double)newSceneWidth);
heightProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
    @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> observableValue, Number oldSceneHeight, Number newSceneHeight) {
        heightChange((Double)oldSceneHeight, (Double)newSceneHeight);
You should be able to do something similar, when you add a change listener to your component and handle the resizing of the other components.
What I don't understand is why you would need a scrollbar, when the components shrink down. I would think it would be the other way round.

I have tried to use File - Export to reduce the size of my pics to send via email and all I get is a blank pic. How do I reduce the size of the photo and still have the photo?

I have tried to use File > Export to a folder on my Desk top to reduce the size of my photos and all I get is a blank, grey screen. How do I reduce the size of my pics so I can email them?

Where are you getting this screen? In iPhoto after selecting the File ➙ Export menu option? If that's the case try this:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/() Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..
You can resize photos outside of iPhoto with 3rd party applications like Resize!.
Click to view full size
With it you can change both the pixel size and file size of the photo to the size that suits your needs. For other such apps go to MacUpDate.com and search for "image resize" to get a list of potential candidates.

How to reduce the size of PlayList display slightly?

I just want to see the selections at the very bottom which are cut off.

Nope. I want to reduce the SIZE of the screen, because the very bottom is off the big screen and I can't scroll down to it! I want to get the curser under the right lower corner to raise it, but I can't.

You have two options:http://www.screencast.com/t/p3srGDGP
In this screen shot I have two method chosen.
the one highlighted in yellow is more effective, except in the case where the pdf was from a Scan which is graphics only.
select the one in yellow first and click on Fonts. Remove all duplicates. for some reason, I don't know if its defect in Acrobat, but usually multiple copies of the exact Font will show up and some cases there will font families not even used in your document. remove all duplicates.
Note: Duplicates do not mean for example: Helvetica, Helevetica Bold, Helvetica Bold Italic (these are three different fonts).
You can reduce the quality of the graphics used and so on while in menu.
The feature highlighted in green more or less just reduce the general qaulity of the PDF. and may work for some PDF's

How do I reduce the size of all elements in a Motion project proportionately and simultaneously?

I have created a complex Motion project with many elements. Does anyone know how to reduce the size of all elements proportionately and simultaneously in order to shrink this down to a corner logo? Thanks

Sure.
In the Layers pane, IF all of your layers are already in a single Group (if you're really a beginner, then you probably just have the one group), all you need to do is select the Group "layer" containing your design elements and clone it (type - k) -- you'll get a new layer in a new group if it's a top level group of the project called Clone Layer. (If you have more than one group, select all of them --- however, if there is an FCPX Placeholder-drop-zone-looking-layer with a label like Effect Source or Title Background, don't select that -- you'll need to command-click select just the layers that make up your logo design). [You can alternately select *everything* and command click the layers you do not want to include in the Clone.]
Creating a clone of anything in no way changes that object or objects. A clone is like a composite viewer for objects/layers -- like a tv screen is to broadcast signals...
Uncheck the Cloned Group (or selected objects - if still selected, unchecking one will uncheck all of the selected layers) to inactivate it (this will not affect the clone visibility.)
Select the Clone Layer.
Use the Properties > Transform tools to scale and position the clone layer (changing the blend mode to something like hard light, overlay or similar, and adjusting the opacity makes for a nice "watermark" [corner logo]).

How do l preserve image quality when reducing the size of my brochure for use as a pdf?

l've designed a brochure full of my work, and reduced the size so l can email the final pdf...but my test recipients are saying the images are not sharp...they are too soft.
Can anyone help me preserve image sharpness?

Don't use the resize feature as the images will be changed to 72 dpi. Resize the images BEFORE adding them to Pages. Make them about 200 dpi if they are to be printed. You can have less resolution if the pdf is only for the screen.

How do I reduce the size of photos to use on website?

Thanks to the helpful person who recommended I use Rapidweaver to build a website, I am slowly getting somewhere. It is so simple and just like Apple applications that I think I can do this.
My problem now is that when I tried to transfer a photo from iPhoto to the draft website page it comes across so large it fills the page.
How do I reduce the size of photos so that I can bring them across? I need to show about 20 photos on the web pages. Do they need to be in a different format and if so how do I change it to the appropriate one?
Many thanks.

Hi Casuarina,
Go to this site and click on the Desktop Version Quicktime movie for a small tutorial. It will explain everything to you and you can see how you resize right within Rapid Weaver. It's really quite nifty.

How can I print a pdf doc of size A3 (one page only) on A4 (on one page) front and back (actual size duplex printing) without reducing the size?

The printing should come of actual size half on front and half on back of A4 paper.

I am shooting with a Nikon D60 on Fine Format and unable to print larger than 11x14. I have been able to print larger pictures. I am told iPhoto reduces the size of the file when uploaded. Is this true? If so how can I change this? I need 16x20's

How do I reduce the size of an AI CS6 file when saving as a pdf?

I'm trying to save an ai file to a PDF to send to the printer but the file is huge. How can I reduce the size without losing quality? I have already rasterized my images and flattened the artwork. Thanks!

How huge is huge? Are all of the images Placed at 100% or have they been scaled? What are the printer's requirements? What are the physical dimensions of the file? And, how are you creating the PDF? There are a few ways to minimize size, starting with the file itself and the printer's requirements. I find, sometimes, Exporting > TIFF > Open in Ps > Save As Photoshop PDF is helpful. I also use Distiller which trims files nicely and is customizable.

I am trying to send a photo in an email and the file is huge. I remember something about sending the file with less detail and therefore reducing the size. How?

I am trying to send a photo in an email and the file is huge. I remember something about reducing the size of the file but of course can't remember how.

Use a utility such as Graphic Converter to change the image to a jpeg using options to reduce the size of the converted image.
