Still Image Scanning...Help Please!

Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could help me out.  I am posting this thread in this area of the discussion, as it seems to be a little more of a technical photo question.  I am making a slideshow for a wedding coming up via iMovie 2011.  I will be scanning still pictures onto my macbook pro.  I will NOT be printing off these photos.  My concern is what "dpi" do I set my scanner to as I will be projecting this slideshow via mini display port via HDMI to the projector.  The projector has a Native Resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080).  I was told by someone that as far as projectors are concerned, scanning an image at 72 dpi is adequate enough, as this is all projectors are capable of.  The specs on this projector are not given in terms of dpi and I am not too familiar with dpi terminology.  However, with a dpi scanned image of 72 dpi, will this make the image look "bad" and pixelate it, or do I need to scan my images at 300 dpi?  Could someone please assist me with my question?  I would appreciate it very much!
Thank you,

Well DPI and picture size arent all that linked. DPI is a print system, not really a screen or projector measurement. Indeed its almost worthless to emasure projectors, as most allow you to use different screen sizes, but with a set reolution, so the DPI will vary on how big the projected image is.
Do you have photoshop?
Best results is likely to scan at the highest resolution (in this case DPI) then use photoshop or similar to scale the picture so it fits in a 1920 by 1080 frame.
Depending on the size of the photos in question, 300 DPI may be overkill, but it can't hurt unless your short on space. Avoid scanning as a jpeg to, something with less compression like a tiff if possible.

    How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
    Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
    The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

    Signing into the iTunes account has never made content magically appear... it still amazes me that people think this will actually work.
    Type "move itunes library" into the search bar or your favorite search engine.  You'll find multiple results for how to move the iTunes library.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • No Chrome still having issues, help please.

    Hey guys,
    I am trying to learn how to do NO CHROME windows. I have a
    small AIR Application which would like to make it without chrome
    and have tried the online tutorials but not having much. I am able
    to get the window to appear without chrome but with my original
    window, i have another window with systems setting pops in as well.
    Can anyone help me, please.
    Here is my code:

    To make an AIR app without chrome, you don't have to create a
    child window. The app itself can have no chrome. Here are the
    requirements for a no-chrome app:
    FIRST, in <mx:WindowedApplication> set the attribute
    showFlexChrome="false".
    SECOND, create an Application Descriptor XML File in the src
    folder named with your app's name, and with "-app" appended, as
    follows:
    my app startup file is src/nochrome.mxml
    my descriptor file is src/nochrome-app.xml
    (Note that this is an XML file, not an MXML file.)
    This Application Descriptor File "ADF" is normally created
    for you automatically when you use the Flex Builder wizard to
    create your AIR app. If it's not already there, then you'll need to
    get the contents just right. For now, I'll assume you have that
    file already but haven't used it; if you're not using Flex Builder,
    then let me know and I can post the contents of a default
    Application Descriptor File. But I highly recommend using the Flex
    Builder new file wizard to create your app.
    In the ADF, there are two settings to change; here are the
    values they should be set to:
    <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>
    <transparent>true</transparent> (this is
    OPTIONAL)
    If you're editing the automatic ADF created by Flex Builder,
    be sure to remove the comment prefixes and suffixes, or your edited
    settings will remain comments and therefore be ignored.
    Now your app will have no chrome and (if you set the
    transparent property) will also be transparent. So you'll want to
    drop at least an EXIT button on the Design page, so there will be
    some way to close it! You can use Debug Mode in Flex Builder to
    stop the app if there's no visible way to end it.
    If you are using transparency too, then the app itself (the
    WindowedApplication object) is transparent, so you would typically
    add a canvas component to the app's window, and use that for the
    app background. For irregular shaped apps, you might use an image
    component with a PNG image containing transparency. Or, you could
    use code to draw directly on the invisible window. Whatever other
    components are dropped on the invisible app window will be visible,
    and will appear to float over the desktop.
    If you don't set transparent to True, then the app will be
    visible, but will still have no chrome. But I suspect that if
    you're experimenting with no chrome, you'll very soon be
    experimenting with irregular shapes or other forms of transparency.
    hope this helps,
    Allen

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have had the 7d for 4 years or more.
    The images downloaded before from the 7d, we're ok and still look ok, it is only in the past month this has happened and it is not with every image it is intermittent. Some are clear then others on the same shoot have the problem. It is even more exaggerated when printed.
    I have tried Zoom browser and it is less evident on there but still shows.
    I am shooting both with Raw & Jpeg and I think it shows in both.
    Being a mean Scotsman I grudge having paid for Photoshop Elements and not getting the good of it.
    I have tried Adobe on line but no luck and they ask me to pay for an annual contract before they will give me technical support, which is about £100.
    I appreciate your assistance and any further help.
    Best wishes,
    Mike

  • Interactive Image Panning Help Please!!!!!

    Hey guys,
    I'm trying to achieve an effect similar to this one:
    http://www.prada.com/pradabook/
    When you click on a thumbnail and the larger image opens, when you move the mouse all the way to the right or left, the image just moves a fraction of the distance...
    I simply can't figure this out...I only manage to have the image follow the mouse til the absolute edges....
    I am playing arround with 2 scrolling codes:
    // Create a point when the image is first clicked
    var mouseLocFirstTime:Point = new Point(mc2._xmouse, mc2._ymouse);
    mc2.onEnterFrame = function()
    mc2.onMouseMove = function()
    // Keep creating points according the mouse position on the image
    var destination:Point = new Point(mc2._xmouse, mc2._ymouse);
    // Find the difference between the two points
    finalDX = destination.x - mouseLocFirstTime.x;
    finalDY = destination.y - mouseLocFirstTime.y;
    // Tween to the difference and add the mc2 x and y since the image inside mc2 is aligned top left
    TweenMax.to(mc2,2,{_x:finalDX + mc2._x, _y:finalDY + mc2._y});
    By the way, mc2 is the large zoomed image, which is much much larger than the stage...its about 8000 px!!!
    The above code works fine, but i'm trying to reverse the direction, which is proving to be a pain!!! Can you guys please help?!?!?
    The other code I'm trying to implement is this one:
    var xRatioS = 0;
    var yRatioS = 0;
    var xTweenAmountS = 0;
    var yTweenAmountS = 0;
    mc2.onEnterFrame = function()
    xRatioS = ((Stage.width - mc2._width) / Stage.width);
    xTweenAmountS = _xmouse * xRatioS;
    yRatioS = ((Stage.height - mc2._height) / Stage.height);
    yTweenAmountS = _ymouse * yRatioS;
    TweenLite.to(mc2,2,{_x:xTweenAmountS, _y:yTweenAmountS});
    Now this one goes in the right direction as I need, but it goes all the way to the edges of my image...and I can't seem to figure out how to reduce the distance to about half or a quarter?!?!?!?
    Thank you guys...I know this a long post....but i'm hoping that someone out there can help me out with any one of the above!!!
    CHEERS

    depending on the way you lay it out you could have it become part of the rollover on each button. But you'd have to have enough space on screen to accommodate the text you want displayed. Note that the video playing as part of menu background can only be so long and adds to the media on the disk.

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite.  Now in my Pages documents I cannot select/edit any objects or images.  Help Please!

    I just recently updated my MacBook Pro to Yosemite 10.10.2
    I also updated my "Pages" when asked to.
    Now when a open any of my Pages documents, I cannot select/edit any of the objects/images in those documents.
    I have gone through the "Pages" help but still cannot solve the problem.

    Any suggestions

    Hello Kappy,
    I checked out your link and I remember the import box popping up when I upgraded from iWork to Pages a few years ago.  My problem is with all files (even documents created with "pages" last week.  The documents open fine, I just cannot select/edit the objects/images in the background of my documents.  Yes, I have tried going through all of the tab menus and layout options and tried "pages" help.
    So my problem is that I cannot open documents and adapt them to my next lesson, etc.
    Anyone else have any suggestions?
