Screen Grab image resolution

Hey folks...
When I do a screen grab, the dimesnions of the image are 1366 x 768. When I stick such an image in the time line, it looks blurry. Any insight?

Gary
I am just getting back to your thread. Thanks for the follow up. If the only reason that you went to Fireworks was to resize your photo, then let me ask for a recap.
a. Given that you have a photo (screen grab) that you wanted to take into Premiere Elements 11 (please confirm since I see Hunt referring to Premiere).
What format was the screen grab before you decided to take it into Fireworks? Was it jpg or bmp or other?
b. After you get this screen grab into Premiere Elements 11 what do you want to do with it...include it in a movie or export it as a file or image sized for 1366 x 768 which I believe is 16:9?
Are you aware of the scaling that you can do in Premiere Elements via Applied Effects/Motion Panel Expanded/Scale Propertiy
and
Publish+Share/Computer/Image where you can export your 1366 x 768, using setting under the Advanced Button of the presets there.
Depending on how close or far away from what you are doing and your intent...you might consider
Importing this screen grab direct (no detours into Fireworks) into Premiere Elements 11 with the project preset that you set yourself to NTSC HDV HDV 720p30. (See File Menu/New/Project and a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on this project".)
Depending on after Timeline rendering look, Field Options/Always Deinterlace.
follow that up to an export for one of the 16:9 export...Image or a video file.
Please let me know if any of the above helps.
Thanks.

Does anybody know the terminal instruction to remove the shadow from screen grab images

Does anybody know the terminal instruction to remove the shadow from screen grab images?
I saw it somewhere on some site ages ago
(I like to align images together and take another screen grab without the darn shadow and without opening another app)

I found this:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true && killall SystemUIServer
but this soesn't seem to work
and this
To get rid of the shadow and only capture the window, enter this line of code in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
Then to implement the change, enter:
killall SystemUIServer
To revert the modification and restore shadows, enter:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool false
doesn't work either in Mountain Lion

Screen grab resolution

I've been trying to make a poster for a short i did and i was just wondering if I I were to take a screen grab from my short and make it the picture for the poster would there be any way to up the resolution so its really clear...the movie was shot on a DVX100 and I have CS2 ...im new so gimme a break if this is a crazy easy question lol...anyhelp is always greatly appreciated, thanks !

Your still image from FCP, regardless of any setting or format you select, will never be any better than what your video camera produced. Your video is probably only about 500 x 800 pixels, more or less, depending on format, maybe as large as 1080 horizontal pixels if HD.
Still cameras create 3000 pixel images which are huge by comparison to video.
Without using an up-rez filter for a photo editing app like Photoshop or a specific applicaiton, as Scotland suggests, you can only get pigger, blockier pixels. You cannot create any more of them.

Problem with image resolution with larger screen size

I was working on Basic Lens Sample (Basic
Lens Sample) for windows phone 8 App. In this the camera by default sets to default highest resolution.
Just had couple of questions on this:
1.) How to change basic settings like resolution,ISO etc.,in this app, because during initial settings
it only takes default value and when I try to change that it throws an error. Also a code comment is written during initialization of camera to take only these default values. So when to change these settings and how?.
2.) How to adjust resolution for phablets having 6" screen. Like when I run the code in Lumia 1320,
the image resolution is not that good and it breaks. So how to adjust screen resolutions for catering different smartphones with different resolutions and screen sizes.
Any solution or suggestions or snippets is very much appreciated.
Thanks In Advance.

Hello,
For you first question, we can use
GetAvailableCaptureResolutions method of PhotoCaptureDevice to get the available resolutions in device. That code sample returns the largest resolution by default, you just need to choose an appropriate one. You can find it in CameraController class in
Models folder in the project.
For you second question, I tested the sample in lumia 1320, I didn’t see the image broken.
>> So how to adjust screen resolutions for catering different smartphones with different resolutions and screen sizes.
You can get an appropriate resolution image and let the OS downscale it for you. You can find the support resolution in the following link. Go to Supported resolutions section.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj206974(v=vs.105).aspx.
If you want to display the whole large resolution image in lower resolution device, I think you can use
ScrollViewer control. Use Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth and ActualHeight properties to get the device resolutions, and then you can know if your app is running on a lower resolution device.

Problems with Window Screen Grabs?

Hey,
Any idea what the problem could be? When I screen grab a fullscreen window by typing "Command > Shift > 4 > Space" the resulting screenshot has the right hand edge cut off. Seems to happen in all apps. It only happens when an app window is full screen or maximized (or a little smaller - about 20px on each edge). Using Grab or Preview to capture works but those apps don't capture the alpha-blended window shadow.

http://www.imgftw.net/img/428201741.png
http://www.imgftw.net/img/199621762.png

I'm able to reproduce the issue as well with images at full, or near full, screen.
My guess is that OS X will only take screenshots as large as the screen resolution, and when capturing the window shadow it is adding ~30 px to the outside of the image, thus pushing it off the edge.

Is there a way to make high res screen grabs

i often use the shift apple 4 key board shortcut to make selected screen grabs, although I was wondering is there a way to make screen grabs a higher resolution than the standard 72dpi?

You can't increase the resolution of an image except in printing. If you print at a smaller size the you'll be squeezing more pixels in a smaller area thus increasing the dpi resolution of the print. But you can increase the resolution of the image file generated by the screenshot. Well, you can with Photoshop by resampling but it's never as good as the original. Screenshots are 72 dpi (or whatever the screen is - some at 92 or so) with the pixel dimensions as displayed on the screen.

IMac going slow & screen grabs

Hi All
I was just wondering if anyone can help me here. My iMac has suddenly decided to run slowly when I'm using certain applications. It's as though it's stopping to think about the command I use and when I quit the Application it takes about 30 secs to do so - any ideas? I thought I had a virus but I believe they're rare, but a few weeks ago I ran Apple's own disk doctor and it said it couldn't run it as something else was using the disk.
Applications used are Quark 5, Adobe Photoshop 7 and Image Ready. The internet seems unaffected, besides freezing quite often. I'm wondering if running Norton on it a few months back has thrown everything out of whack!
I think that's it... thanks in advance.
One other thing - does anyone know how to make good resolution screen grabs? I tried DVD Capture in OSX but they're blurry and on OS 9 I use DVD Extractor and get them from there.

You might have more luck in the OS9 Forum.
Cheers!

Distorted image, resolution - settings? Definitely Illustrator problem.

I wish I could attach an image - this is hard to describe. For the past two days my illustrator documents look really jagged and pixelly on screen. Tech person from my company tried a new monitor and it still looked that way. I restarted computer and it's still doing it - I opened same file on a coworkers computer and it looks fine so it's not the file. Coworker did screen grab of file open on her screen and emailed it to me and her version looks great - so I don't think it's video card.
The only thing I did was the other day I was experimenting with the setting under View for color blindness and that can affect our work, and I had not previously known about it. I changed settings back and the problem is still there. It doesn't look too bad when I zoom in close but at around 66% or 100% on screen all black lines are very jagged and look larger than they actually are. It prints okay so it's just a screen thing.
Does anyone know what is going on and how I can fix it? Thanks -
Leslie

Okay - here is the illustration - on the left how it is currently appearing on my screen, on the right how it should appear (this was from my coworkers's screen).

How to highlight text in a screen grab?

I did a screen grab from imdb (Internet Movie DataBase) off the Internet. It's currently in .png format.
I want to highlight part of the text in the text in this picture as if I were using a yellow highlighter marker. I've tried everything I can think of but so far no dice.
It seems that the thing to do is to choose Tools > Mark Up, but Mark Up is grayed out.
I know this is possible because a guy I work with does it all the time. But it's too late to call him, and he's fairly irrascible anyway. And I know I did it once a while ago.
Can someone help? Thanks.

I'd never used Grab before, so just did so. It's an awfully simple app, it seems - offers some capture controls the keyboard commands don't (such as timed and full window), but doesn't seem to be able to do anything other than capture an image. Its Preferences are bare-bones.
I had to open my test image in Preview to make any annotations. That was easy - save the image in Grab to the desktop and name it, then a double-click of the file opened it in Preview.
So, we're back to Preview.
Don't understand why the annotation tools aren't available to you in Preview.
Edit - -
Just rebooted into Snow Leopard to do some testing. No matter what I tried, new screenshot using keyboard or Grab, fiddling with settings, I could not get Preview to not allow selecting the Rectangle tool.
Only other thing I can think of - do a Get Info on the screenshot file, check the permsissions at the bottom of the Get Info window.

Problems with screen saver image quality

Just got a MPB 15 inch. Very happy with it but have a small problem with the screen saver. I use my i Photo folders as the source for screen saver images. Some photos are shown in very good quality but others are very poor - as if low res. The original images are all of the same high quality. Seems to occur whichever video setting is used under power saving. A minor issue I now but any ideas?

Hi, Mark. Apparently some of the photos being used are low-resolution thumbnails, not full-resolution images.
What version of iPhoto do you have, and which OS version are you running? On my MBP running 10.5.6 and iPhoto 7.1.5, "All folders" is not an option in the Screensaver pane of System Prefs, so I don't know what you're actually choosing. But if I select "Pictures" (which refers to the Pictures folder in my Home folder), then the screensaver uses every .jpg file that it finds in any of the several iPhoto Libraries inside my Pictures folder. The thumbnails created by iPhoto are .jpgs, so they get used by the screensaver along with full-size high-resolution images.
The solution is not to select a folder that contains any thumbnails.

Website with Full Screen Background Images

I'm trying to create a website with full screen background images (or possibly, a video) that will crop to the browser window. It's also important that the image be center-justified. The Die Antwoord site does pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish. I'd also like to know how they can use such high resolution images. If I try to use a high res image, the file size is enormous. Another site that uses similar technology only with a video is the TV on the Radio site.
I am fairly new to Flash so please forgive me if this is a rudimentary question. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply.
What I'm concerned about is the crispness of my full-page images. Am I right in assuming with a PDF folio, static images won't be as crisp? Is there a way to maintain its sharpness?

Using avi files with DVpal. Working with screen grab footage.

Hi.
I am currently editing some short little promo's that mix DVpal footage with .avi footage. The .avi footage are screen grabs of someone navigating a website, and are designed as cutaways to illustrate a ptc.
However when they are rendered out on the timeline, the text from the website that is in the screen grab video becomes too distorted/(rasterized i think), essentially unreadable. I was planning on some degradation, but didn't realize it would destroy the image so much.
I have tried exporting/converting the .avi files to certain .mov formats but all with essentially the same problem.
Does anybody know a work around solution to help solve this problem. Or is the best way to redo the screen grabs as .movs with the relevant settings, and can anyone recommend some software for this job.

I think the problem is more based in the fact that you're working in DV. Can you work in a higher quality format?

Possible to do a screen grab without "waking up" the CPU?

Electric Sheep creates the coolest images ever...but it's like grabbing a soap bubble...touching any key wipes it out. Is there a way to do a screen grab without waking up the CPU?

Embedding screen grab into this forum

Hi,
I need to get a couple of screen grabs into a forum message... how do I that as I thought a simple copy and paste would work... but of course it didn't?
Thank you.

There are instructions for inserting images in [this user tip|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121950].
Your post should properly be in the [Feedback About Discussions|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1076] forum, where it has been asked and answered many times. This forum is for questions about file sharing using Mac OS X 10.6 Server Snow Leopard.
Best of luck.

Image resolution after cropping

When I zoom in on a 4 megapixel image the screen shows an image with acceptable resolution. If I crop to an image the size of the one showing in the unconstrained mode the image resolution drops dramatically. How can I crop and not loose so much resolution? I've been able to do much better with editing in Elements and then importing the image back into iphoto.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.3)

ih2006:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Even though the dpi has changed from what it came out of the camera to 72, the resolution has not changed. It's just a different way of expressing the total number of pixels and the size to be printed. It's just math.
A 1600 x 1200 image at 300 dpi will print a 1600/300" x 1200/300" print (you do the math). That same image at 72 dpi will produce a print that is 300/72 times larger. The number of pixels, 1600 x 1200 hasn't changed, just the size to be printed. iPhoto changes it to 72. I've checked files with Photoshop, imported to iPhoto, exported and rechecked and the dpi has dropped whereas the print size has increased.
