Screen size/resolution for iPad 3

Hi
I'm designing a portfolio app. At the moment I am previewing it on an iPad 2 in content viewer and all looks OK (text a but fuzzy but I hear thats normal) However I have set the articles and folio builder up in iPad 3 sizings as we will shortly be getting an Ipad 3 and will be showing off our work (we're a design agency) on the new higher res iPad 3. So, is it best practice for me to work to 2048x1536 @ 264 ppi for the iPad 3 versions, then when I've designed and built my app, downsize to 1024 x 768 at 131ppi?
Thanks in advance
Steve Chapman

Hi Bob/Anyone – I found this post whilst doing some research – what are your opinions of it guys?
If my maths are correct then, for the iPad 3, keeping the document at 1024×768 pixels but just doubling the res (72ppi to 144ppi) is exactly the same as doubling the doc size to 2048×1536 but keeping it at 72ppi!!

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the whole retina story amongst print designers.
It is actually quite simple folks.
When you design something for iPad 1 or 2 use a 1024×768 pixels document at 72 ppi.
When designing for the retina ipad make a document 2048×1536 pixels at 72 ppi.
If you don’t believe me I’ll do the math for you: 2048 pixels wide on a 7.75 inch wide display > 2048 / 7.78 = 264. And 264 just happens to be the advertised resolution of the Retina iPad.
If you want to let users zoom in on images without the images becoming pixelated, use higher resolution images.
Use Indesign to layout the documents and create the PDF not Photoshop as mentioned before. Photoshop will produce rasterized text while a PDF from Indesign will offer crisp text at any zoom level.

Available screen size/resolution

How do I determine the screen size/resolution that the user will be using order for my application to adapt its page size?

We've embedded E-commerce into the SAP portal and have changed the top header bar not to display to save some vertical screen real estate.
You got to be careful if you are integrating E-Commerce with SAP Portal, just defining an URL iView is OK but not sufficient. To fully integrate to Portal use the following
[Note 1021959 - Portal settings for ISA iViews|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1021959]
As for the frame structure of the application, you can see the details of the frame design in this document [SAP E-Commerce 5.0 - Examples and Tutorials (Dev./Ext.) |http://service.sap.com/~sapdownload/011000358700006120622006E/ISA50_DevAndExtTuts_v1_0.PDF]
Put a good resource who can understand the JSP and CSS (stylesheets) and they should be able to do a fair job. I use Firefox browser with the plug-in Firebug to quickly find the active style and the corresponding stylesheet.

5G vs iPod Classic Screen Size / Resolution

Has there been in change in the screen size, resolution or # of colors between the 5G iPod (not the 5.5G) and the iPod Classic? I think there may have been a screen size change at least from the 5G to the 5.5G, but I'm not sure.
Tony

No, the screen size did not change at all from 5th Gen to 5.5 Gen. What they changed was to go with a brighter screen that used less power.
I have not seen any indication by Apple's marketing weasels on the web pages going on about a better, bigger, brighter, more colorful, etc. screen, so I am assuming that is uses the same screen as the 5.5Gen iPods.
I figure if it had more colors or something like that, that would be one of the new and improved features they would be going on about.

What are "average" screen sizes, resolutions etc. for websites

This may be the wrong forum but -
All screen sizes vary, all browser outputs vary, and all individual preferences for browsers are subjective.
Having stated the obvious, can anyone offer guidance on the best 'common denominator' settings/set-up procedure on starting out on a web design so that the best 'average' viewing and reading is achieved? A tough one!
I now have an iMac 24" set high on 1920 x 1200 and my current website looks fine (it's non-iWeb). But now I'm told 800 x 600 is still a fairly common screen resolution 'worldwide', and viewed on this my pics and texts are elephantine, need scrolling mercilessly, and are..... just plain ugly.

These days the variety of devices which can display web pages ranges from small mobile phones to large high definition TVs. So there's no way your web pages will look good on everything - especially older 800x600 CRTs.
Although Apple's iWeb templates are narrow (700pixels?), Apple's own recently re-designed webpages at apple.com are now mostly 980 pixels wide. This is also the width that iPhone's Safari is optimized to:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/designingcontent.html
...scroll down & click on "Optimize for Page Readability"; it says: "Safari on iPhone also sets the viewport width to 980 pixels, *the width of most webpages*." And: "if your webpage is less than 980 pixels wide causing it to scale too small on iPhone..."
So clearly the iPhone's default scale is optimized for 980 wide and apple.com also. Obviously 980-wide pages won't be good on a non-scaling 800-wide display because of the need to scroll horizontally - which should be avoided where possible. But you'll never satisfy all viewers - especially those with old technology.
Since the iPhone automatically scales 980-wide web pages perfectly to its 320 x 480 screen and future display devices will scale too, perhaps you won't go far wrong if you take Apple's example and set your page width to 980.

I think it really depends on your audience. If your audience is ALL, then you'd probably better stick to 640x480 I'm sure there's a few still out there!
If your audience is "recent/new computer users, you could be safe designing for 1024x768. If you just want a good sized swath of users with computers of a decent capability, then some of iWeb's pages (several of the default themes fit well within 800x600) are good for this, leaving plenty of room for dragging items to the desktop and accounting for scroll bars

Photo resolutions for iPad with and without Retina displays

Hello,
I would like to publish an App magazine on the iPad with Adobe DPS Single Edition. When creating the file in Indesign, I wondered about resolutions. The iPads 1 and 2 have a screen resolution of 1024x768 px and that is 72 dpi. The new iPad with Retina display comes with 2048x1536 px I reckon and a 200 dpi resolution. When creating the Indesign document for the folio, do I create the Indesign files with 1024x768 pixels? How does it work with resolution for pictures? I've heard you should have a picture folder with all 72 dpi pics and in that folder is another folder called "HD" that contains all pics in 200 dpi and double the size. When I place the 72 dpi photos into Indesign, how does it work for Retina displays then? Or does Indesign automatically search for my HD folder and pick the HD pics with 200 dpi for the Retina display iPads?
I'm a bit confused with that Retina thingy ...
Thank you in advance for your kind help!

Use the PDF format for your folio. Set the document and folio to 1024x768 and make sure your graphics have an effective resolution of 108ppi or greater.
The HD folder is only for overlays and quite frankly, it’s overkill for all but the most critical images.

Please help! Screen Capture resolution for Flash

Hi,
When I screen capture [using RoBo ScreenCapture] either web
pages off the Net, or dialog boxes of programs [I'm using Flash for
a presentation instead of PP] the images are pixelated or fuzzy or
well, not good enough.
Let me explain In using RoBo, I make the capture at the
highest Jpeg resolution possible. When I bring the jpeg into Flash
[import directly into Library] and bring on the stage, I have to
resize the image because it is too big for the stage [being
800X600]. The projector I will be using for the presentation is
800X600.so I set the stage for that.
When I publish the file and review it [setting my monitor to
800X600] the images look terrible.
Maybe I should explain that when I do the screen captures at
first, my monitor is set at 1600X1200.
Should I set it at 800X600 when doing the captures first? I
mean, does this affect the final output of the resolution of the
jpg's when they are placed in Flash after the capture and import
into the Library?
I have had to make captures of web pages, so I have my
monitor set at 1600X1200 normally so I can get the most real estate
on the screen as possible. I make the screen captures using that
monitor setting. But I have my Flash movie stage set at 800X600.
My questions are:
1. Should I do the captures with the monitor set at 800X600
if the Flash stage is 800X600? If so, why?
2. If the projector resolution is 800X600, can I set my Flash
stage at a higher size [resolution], say 1024X768? Will that
actually affect the resolution when the Flash movie is projected on
a projector with an 800X600 resolution if the Flash movie stage is
larger?
3. What affects the final resolution output of the BMP images
[jpeg's] in Flash for a presentation like I am doing?
4. What size should I capture the images at so I don't have
to resize them in Flash?
WHAH! I just want this presentation to be successful. It's a
training session on educating folks on computer virus
prevention/protection from and ID theft, something this world is in
dire need of!
Thanks in advance form anyone who can help me,
Ellen

A screen capture captures whatever number of pixels you are
grabbing. If
your monitor is 1600x1200 and you capture the entire screen,
then the
resolution you have captures is 1600x1200.
Then two things are happening:
1) you are making it a JPG, which is lossy compresion
2) you are shrinking it to 800 x 600.
To shrink it, Flash has to 'throw away' 75% of the pixels of
the original.
So, no matter what, you are ending up with a lower resolution
image than
what you started with.
> 1. Should I do the captures with the monitor set at
800X600 if the Flash

> is 800X600? If so, why?
That would make sense. Why? You can only show 800x600 pixels
in your final
presentation. What's the point of capturing more than that?
> 2. If the projector resolution is 800X600, can I set my
Flash stage at a

If the images are that resolution, then yes, if you increase
the size of the
flash file, you should be able to see all of the pixels at
that particular
resolution.
> 3. What affects the final resolution output of the BMP
images [jpeg's] in
> Flash for a presentation like I am doing?
As long as you bring the images in at 100%, the available
resolution of the
images shouldn't change at all.

'Actual' size.

I'm not sure what RoBo is, but have you considered using a
product like
RoboDemo for this type of thing? That should handle
everything for you.

Screen size problem for schedule line bdc

Hi All,
I created a bdc for schedule line item maintainance of sales order thro' VA02,I did all coding on 20 inch color monitor in which the schedule line screen shows 18 lines using that i did recording for bdc.But when keyuser executes BDC on laptop it is not procceding.
Please help me out with solution which is applicable on all kind of screens
Regards
Gaurav

When you use BDC, you may have issues with screen size because number of lines displayed in table controls (and step loops) may vary according to the user screen, when the BDC is recorded (depending on recorder screen size), and then executed in A or E mode depending on user's screen size. When it's N mode, a default screen size is used by SAP.
The only solution is then to both record and execute the BDC by activating the default/standard size checkbox (if you use CALL TRANSACTION: it's DEFSIZE field in CTU_PARAMS structure of the OPTIONS FROM keyword).
For more information, refer to the documentation and the [BDC wiki|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/BatchInput-+BDC] + separate FAQ

Screen Size Issue for Syclo Smart Service Manager

Hi,
I am working on Syclo Smart Service Manager and have made some screens in android platform.
The issue is earlier I was using a Panasonic tablet which was auto fitting the screens according to the screen size of the device.
But now we have ported the application to a new Motorola tablet.
If we keep the screen height same then the lower fields are getting cropped .
If we increase the screen height then then a vertical scroll bar appears in the screen and we have to perform scrolling on the screeen to view all fields.
Is there any way that this issue can be fixed and screen adjusts itself on the device as a best fit view.
Thanks
Star Grover

Hi Bill,
Yes we tried to run the motorola device in android large platform first but it was not able to detect it.
Then we changed the platfom to android normal for motorola device and we got the screens.
The screen size difference between the two devices is not much so it is ambiguous why they are working for two different platforms.
They should both ideally work on same platform as they have almost the same dimensions.
But still is there any way that we dont have to readjust the fields and they fit automatically in the new devie.
It will be too much time consuming and hazardous task to readjust each and every screen.
Kindly let me know.
Thanks,
Star

Protective Screen/Microfiber cloths for iPad Air 2?...

So what cloth is best to use on my nekkid iPad Air 2?
This is iPad related... I am not super fond of the Zagg type microfiber cloths to clean my new iPad so I went to Office Depot to buy some more soft ones with thicker fibers and when I went home to rinse them with soap and water and found they leaked a bunch of Red dye. Do all microfiber cloths like this blead dye? http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/328506/Ativa-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloths-Re d-Pack/
Or are there some white ones or something that would be better?
And if i put a small amount of water on the cloth will it dye my iPad's white bezel or screen? What is the best cloth to use for iPad Air 2?
Side Note: I chose not to get a protective glass or plastic cover as it hinders the screen and I have dealt with too many issues installing them in the past and having "professionals" intall them did not help. Several Apple store employees even recommended against them. And they were cool about how they told me they werent necessarry unless i'm a person always travelling or using my iPad roughly. It was 2 different dudes that suggested it too.
sorry this is a random and odd post with different questions,
But main questions are:,
1: Protive screen:..... Do I NEED one if I don't take my iPad anywhere but my room?
2: Screen Cloth:..... What kind of or where can I get a good thick microfiber cleaning cloth that won't bleed and will not scratch my iPad Air? (like will a White one work?)
Thanks so so much for any help.
K.

Microfiber cloths will vary widely depending on where you get them & the brand. I haven't really come across any color bleeding issues with the cloths I've used when they've been washed as they have all been light in color (3M white, 3M blue, various other brands green/yellow/orange).
One thing that is a big concern to me personally is the shedding of the microfiber fibers and/or dust from the cloth itself. One test I now use is to hold the cloth and hit the iPad/iDevice screen with a loose , heavy section of it repeatedly about 10 times (kind of like beating the dust out of a regular dust cloth against a hard surface). Some cloths will shed ALOT of fibres onto the screen and can be see after only one or two hits. These are the cloths I avoid since simply wiping the screen with it leaves tons of fibers & dust behind. And they will also tend to exhibit that same behavior even after being washed multiple times.
The best ones I've found are those made by 3M and some that are sold in AutoZone (yes, AutoZone).

Image Size/Resolution for ProShow Producer ?

Need to prepare images for a slideshow I am creating in ProShow Producer. Not understanding their suggestion to convert my images to jpeg 1.5.
The projector is 1920 X 1080 and will be shown on a 26' wide screen at a movie theater.
I correct the RAW image and then Save As tif (dimensions are 5184 X 3456 at 300 ppi).
Usually I resize the tif at this point and Save As jpg. When I resize I have always put in the dimensions 1920 width for landscape images and resolution 300 ppi.
Would you just change the pixel Dimensions and leave the Document size alone?
They want me to Save As jpeg 1.5 and I don't understand what they are asking me to do or how to do it.
Can anyone explain this to me?

try google. It appears to be a webcam format.

Selecting display screen and resolution for L540 and other thinkpads ?

What is the difference between different types of displays : 15.6 " TFT HD (1366 X 768), 15.6 " FHD (1920 X 1080), 15.6 " HDD (1366 X 768) ? I am planning to purchase a 15.6 " Thinkpad but I am not able to decide which type of display to get. FHD display costs $170 extra, and how much the pixel density will affect the screen resolution in 15.6" ? I know in 15.6" screen, 1366X768 will have a PPI of around 101, around how much PPI we need generally ? I am going to use laptop for work purpose, coding, deveopment etc. I am not a gamer and will play and watch movie ocassionaly. So, what type of display will suit me ? Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

If you are doing desktop publishing, and use a clear plastic ruler to take measurements off the screen, a 19" (18" viewable) ideal resolution at 72 dots/inch and 4:3 aspect ratio yields 1036 by 784 pixels, which is never supported. The closest one down from that is 1024 by 768, adjusted to a picture width of 14.2 inches by height of 10.6 inches. this will give you a really good "what you see is what you get" display, and can save you time and trouble.
That said, it seems nowadays that folks Not doing desktop publishing set them to the highest resolution possible, and then increase the default browser text size until they can read it. If you choose not to maintain a 4:3 aspect ratio (4x number of pixels horizontal to 3x number of pixels vertical) you will have to live with whatever distortion is introduced into your work, including movies and pictures of real-world objects from the Web.
Tests show that refresh rates above 75 Hz reduce flickering for almost everyone, but that there is wide person-to-person variability below that rate. So set it to 75 Hz or higher, if your display supports it.
In any case, the highest refresh rate that works with your display without making high-pitched whining noises or getting really hot will reduce eyestrain. The reduction in system performance from higher refresh rates is truly negligible, as long as your display hardware has VRAM (and the Blue & White has 16 MB on the default display card).

Best screen capture resolution for FCP

I'm making some tutorials of various computer software.
I'm going to edit them with FCP.
I'm using the MAC built in SHIFT-COMMAND - 3 or 4
in order to snap stills off my screen, and then
import into Final Cut Pro to edit the tutorials with.
The stills, once in the timeline, look pretty fuzzy and
unuseable.
What have others used in terms of resolution, format and such in order to end up with captures off your screen that you'll bring into FCP that end up looking good if you're
going to end up going to video or DVD?
I also have SNAP PRO X to work with, but I still haven't
found the right format or resolution to get around this problem.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Without going into DPI (which is really meaningless in FCP land...as has been argued again and again and again...although if you MUST apply a value just stick in 72, but really it has no effect) the pixel dimensions of stills to import for FCP FULL FRAME are 720x534. Because stills have square pixels and FCP uses rectangular ones. If you want to do any movement on the stills, just increase the dimensions PROPORTIONALLY. 2x would be 1440 x 1064.

DV footage requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

Project with an unusual screen size/resolution, can anyone help?

Hi there,
I have been asked to produce a short video that will be played on a screen mounted in portrait.
The resolution is 768 x 1366
What is the best way of going about this? (I'm in Premiere Elements 9 if that helps)
Sorry to ask a question but I can't find any answers in my google searches and it's been a few months since I've used AP
Thanks for the help folks!

You cannot do that exactly as the largest height dimension is 1,080.
You also need to consider if you want the portrait to stand against a black or other coloured background. Bill Hunt has a tutorial he posted at http://muvipix.com for dealing with portrait images. I don't have the link immediately available but I'm sure he'll be along soon and post details.

Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children

I am new to Mac. I am thinking of getting a MacBook Air. My most pressing need is to work with photography programs so screen size, resolution, software capability are important to me. Is a 15 inch screen coming out this spring?

I am new to Mac. I am considering getting and airbook. My most pressing need is to use for photography, so software program capability, display, resolution, are all important. Is an Airbook the best choice and is there a 15 inch screen coming out in the spring as I had heard rumor of?

You might enjoy this review, which specifically compares it to the MacBook Pro:
http://www.macstories.net/reviews/13-inch-macbook-air-review/
Since you will be working with photography, performance and display resolution will be equally important.
As for future models, no one knows. We find out the moment they become available for purchase, and not one moment before. That is also the same moment speculation on the next model begins. In any event we can't engage in that here; it's contrary to the terms of use.
