Secondary pixel dimensions in project window...

Hey, what do the second set of numbers mean in parenthesis? I don't recall seeing them before.

You have the resolution of that composition set to Half. Those are the numbers of vertical and horizontal pixels being rendered for that composition.

Specify pixel dimensions of project?

I'm very inexperienced with video editing. I'm trying to make a simple video for the web in Premiere which syncs images and an audio track. I've used AfterEffects and I'm experienced in Flash and Photoshop. I'm pretty lost in Premiere, though. How do I specify the pixel dimensions of my sequence? I want 800x450. Since I intend deployment to be the web, what other options should I specify? I assume I need to specify square pixels and a web/screen color space somewhere?
Thanks.

Pixel Dimension Unavailable in PS Elements 10 on Windows 8.1

I'm running Photoshop Elements 10 on a windows 8.1 computer. Pixel dimension is grayed out and unavailable to me. I cannot uncheck "Constrain proportions," and have no way to change the size of photos. If I change the dimensions, the resolution changes in proportion. I am perplexed and at a standstill since this is a critical function. Solutions?

Duh... don't know where my brain went to. Thank you!

Where is it possible to batch process the size of images?--I am able to change pixel dimensions in image processor but not image size in inches.

Hi- I need to batch process images for video project. I am able to change the pixel dimensions in the image processor but don't seem to have the option to change image size in inches. Please advise! Thanks

You don't need inches for video (or screen viewing in general). It all goes by pixel count. Inches is for print, nothing else.
But to answer the question, you can run actions in the Image Processor, and this is where you set size in inches. Just bring up Image Size, uncheck "resample image", and specify size. You'll notice resolution changes to reflect the fact that the existing image pixels are now redistributed over the new print size.
But again, screen doesn't care about size or resolution. It only counts pixels.

Would a photo with 70MB in pixel dimensions but low resolution print clearly?

Hi there,
Here is a snapshot of the image size window:
Is it true that if pixel dimension is very large in size than the resolution number under document size doesn't matter ?
I really woudl appreciate your help in telling me if my photo will print clearely choosing the belwo document size.
Many thanks!

This is the easiest way for you to get an acurate idea of what your image will look like printed...
1) Create a new document the size it will be printed and set the resolution to 300dpi (pixels/inch). (Due to the size you are going for I suggest using RGB instead of CMYK)
2) Open the file you created and (using the 'Move' tool) drag it onto the newly created document.
3) Zoom in to 100% and what you see is what you get when printed.
The distance the print will be viewed from is important however, for example, if it's a billboard the viewer is pretty far so the quality is pretty forgiving and a resolution of 200dpi should work.
Feel free to hit me up and send me one of the pictures and I will give you an acurate judgement on how they will look printed at that size.

Image files with large pixel dimensions display out of focus in a Bridge viewer?

I Create image files with pixel dimensions 2048x1365. When I display these files from Bridge on my Mac, either by pressing the space bar or in a slideshow, the images are out of focus. If I left click or click/hold and move the images slightly on screen they display in sharp focus. Unfortunately, although landscape-orientation images display correctly with no change in position or size, portrait-orientation files are enlarged and display with top and bottom off the screen. The pixel dimensions of my monitor are 2450x1600 so, yes, if portrait images are displayed at 100% they should display off screen, but this does not excuse the out of focus display of landscape files on this large screen. Nor does this explain why the portrait files are out of focus when they fit on screen. When the same files open in a Camera Raw window they are in focus. When they open in Photoshop at 100% the files are in focus.

Pixel dimensions for still images

Hello all,
I have just ran into a problem that seems to be a sizing problem with Final Cut Express HD. I used to crop my still pics to 1366 px - 768 px (for landscape) and then import them to FCE and export as a quicktime movie. When I brought the quicktime movie into iDVD and created the DVD it seemed to play great on my 46" Samsung tv -- full screen.
I just recently bought a Samsung 60" and when I create the same type of movies, I am getting a huge black border around the whole image (not just top and bottom but sides too). I tried creating a new movie and made all my still images 1920px x 1080 px, and it still comes out the same way.
I can stretch my tv so that they go full screen, but I think there should be a way to create the movie without having to stretch it....just have the tv set for 16:9, and I feel that it should work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks.
Norm

When you create a DVD, no matter what the pixel dimensions of your original material, it become 720x480 Standard Definition. This is what a DVD is. If you are creating a DVD that has material that is 16x9, then it creates a DVD that is 720x480 but plays back anamorphic, stretching to create the 16x9 screen.
If you play one of your older DVDs that played correctly on your previous TV, does it play correctly or does it also exhibit the black bars?
If it plays correctly then something has changed in the way you are creating your project in FCE.and encoding and burning the DVD.
If the older DVDs also exhibit the same playback problem, then I believe there is a menu setting on your new TV that will tell it how to display Standard Definition material from your DVD player, and you need to adjust that. (There are also settings in the set-top DVD player that tells it what kind of signal to send based on the what kind of display it is hooked up to.)

Pixel Dimensions in MB

The pixel dimension field in the Image Size window, seems to use a generic number of MB which has no connection to the size of the image when I save it as a full resolution Photoshop document.
Where does that number come from?
I am developing a tutorial to help students understand the information in this window. Everything makes good sense except this pixel dimension number which is supposed to indicate the file size.
Thanks for your help.
Mary Lou

The confusion comes from two causes:
1,000 "computer things" is equal to 1,024 "normal things".
Each pixel has 3 chunks of data -- one chunk for each colour channel (Red, Green, and Blue).
So, the formula to get the "Pixel Dimensions" number is this (Only using the top section. Ignore the "Document Size" area.) :
(Width/1024) x (Height/1024) x 3
For your example:
(1000/1024) x (1000/1024) x 3 =
0.9765625 x 0.9765625 x 3 =
0.95367431641 x 3 =
2.86102294922
Added:
The obvious question is "What if there are more colour channels?" You guessed it: multiply by the number of channels. Here's the same image opened in PSCS2, first as an RGB image, then after switching the Mode to CMYK;

Mp4 imports but looks different in project window

Zooming on Stills: does dpi matter, or just pixel dimensions?

Hi, I am going to be zooming in on Stills, and, as I understand it, before importing into FCE, I want to change my pixel dimensions in Photoshop to be at least doubel the usual size.I assume that is to avoid getting a fuzzy pixelated look when zoomed in. Would it also be important at the very beginning to scan the photos into Photoshop at 600 dpi vs 300 dpi, or is dpi simply unrelated to pixel dimensions?
Thanks, Bob01742

Thanks for writing back. On page 198 in your book (which I love) you say 'scan at high resolution, likie 300 or 600 dpi." Does more dpi relate to how high the pixel resolution can be? I'm just not sure of the correlation. You reccommend a PICT file which is 1,494X1,098. Can this be created just as well from a 300 dpi scan as a 600 dpi scan?
A second question? Have you ever worked with the program called Photo to Movie? Can work done int that program be easily imported into a FCE project?
Thanks so much, Bob

Pixel Dimensions of Cropped Photo

I cropped a photo and placed it into a Photoshop elements file, along with other shapes and text. I would now like to swap out that photo with a different one of exactly the same size and proportion. Where can I see the exact pixel dimensions of that cropped photo?

In Editor, go to Edit>preferences>units and rulers. Next to rulers in the dropdown, select pixels
On the program's top tool bar, go to Window and check info in order to access the info palette
Next, access the rectangular marquee tool, and in the tool's option bar select mode:normal
Trace the picture inside the frame with the rectangular marquee and read the pixel dimensions.

Pixel dimensions for stills in FPCX?

For use in a FCPX HD project, at what ppi do you recommend scanning? Then do you recommend taking it into photoshop? At what pixel dimensions do you recommend saving it -- and in what format -- jpeg or tiff? Thank you!

Andy, I'm not disagreeing with you at all and I fully understand how it works. I'm just not articulating myself properly. I'm only talking about setting the scanner software for best results. When you scan, you set the dpi and the size of the scanned document being scanned. The size of the scanned document on the scanner is a physical size (inches). The combination of the scanned size (inches), the dpi setting and the scale factor controls the resulting pixel dimensions. The scale factor should always be 100% for best quality.
When you scan a document you can't control the physical size of the document. It is what it is. So you need to select the physical size of the document on the scanner bed (in inches). Then to get the correct pixel dimensions, you need to select the correct dpi for the scanner to use. See my example in Epson Scan software.
If you choose a different dpi in the scanner SW, then the resulting image will need to be scaled after the scan is complete to get the correct "target" pixel dimensions. If you scale after scanning, you are either creating or destroying pixels. Better to set the correct dpi before scanning.
Note that the scale factor in my example below is 100%. That means the correct pixel dimensions will be captured natively from the scan and not modified after the fact.
I agree once you have the image scanned, the dpi becomes irrelevent. But it does matter to the scanner software.

Missing Pixel Dimensions?

I just upgraded to Lion (I'm a bit slow).
In the Finder window Column View, I no longer get (pixel) Dimension info for image files - how can I get this back?
This was a very useful feature in previous OS.
Thanks

I cannot reporduce the problem in 10.7. Perhaps it is the format of the images?
This is the far right column that I just looked at:

Cannot crop to an exact pixel dimensions

I am having a hard time cropping to an exact pixel dimensions upon export. For my work, I need to crop to exactly 2166X1600, with a tolerance of no more than one pixel off of those dimensions, i.e. 2166X1599.
I set crop tool to 2166X1600 and crop all of my images. On the export I constrain to largest dimension of 2166 in both horizontal and vertical directions. Results vary widely from right on 2166X1600 to several pixels off on the short side. Sometimes more than 1600, and sometimes less. Any thoughts as to why these constraints do not work exactly? Some sets of images I have to redo as many as 25% of a gallery of 200-300 images. Any thoughts? Thanks!

See, I don't need to crop the original image to 2166X1600. I need a finished image at 2166X1600. Meaning, in theory I should be able to crop an image to 1:1.35375 ratio, which is 2166X1600, and export to constrain to 2166 on the longest side. When it's constrained to 2166, the short side should always be 1600.
Here's where the problem is... When you set the crop window to 2166X1600, you expect that when you size your crop on your image that the only options for the boundary are multiples of 2166X1600. In reality, the crop visual boundaries are approximate. Here's an example...
I have an image that I have cropped to a finished size of 3185X2350. Which is based upon a 2166X1600 crop. When I export it, I need the 3185 to become 2166. So the long side is constrained to 2166, and it is reduced by a factor of 1.47. 3185/2166=1.47 If I reduce the short side, 2350, by that same factor of 1.47 you end up with a short side of 1598. Which is why I have a problem.
My invalid assumption was that when you set specific pixel dimensions in the crop tool, that only those values would be shown in the crop tool's bounding box. Photoshop can do it...

Pixel dimensions of screen?

Im making a slideshow of photos and want to use iMovie. Anyone know the exact pixel dimensions of the screen so i can make the images fit?
Thanks in advance.

It all depends on what you mean by "make the images fit".
iMovie 4 accepts any photo with a 4:3 aspect ratio, e.g. 1600 x 1200, and resizes it to fill the iMovie frame.
But that's not true with iMovie HD. iMovie HD pillarboxes a 4:3 image imported to a DV-type project -- adds black bars to the right and left sides. If you are okay with that, then virtually any photo with a 4:3 ratio will be fine.
If you don't want pillarboxing, however, you have to 1) crop the image to some other aspect ratio before importing to iMovie HD; or 2) increase the Ken Burns zoom so Ken Burns crops the image.
(Pillarboxing may not be a problem if you plan to view the slideshow on a 4:3 TV. The black bars may be hidden by the TV Safe Area. But if you plan to view it in QuickTime or on a widescreen TV, you may want to avoid the black bars.)
Lots more here:
