Tiff Scan Resolution?

How can I change the resolution of a tiff file scan in elements 7? It seem the resolution defaults to 200 dpi and I can't find a way to change it?

What size scans are produced e.g. 3000 x 2000 or 6000 x 4000
What size prints are you hoping to make?
If within that range, I should think that would produce an acceptable size print. You can check by opening one of the scanned images in the editor. From the top menu click:
Image >> Resize >> Image Size
Make sure you have the boxes checked for constrain proportions and resample.
In the dialog box for resolution change the setting to 300 and you should see the maximum dimensions for a print.
Change to 240 if you need it a bit bigger or experiment with the resolution setting.

Scan resolution of PDF file from HP Officejet 4630

Hi, I'm running Mac OS9.1 and a HP Officejet 4630, and the HP Scan App. Appears to scan correctly, image in the App is good but when I save from the Scan app the PDF image is approx 4 times the size of the A4 page, ie when I open the PDF file only the top left quarter of the scanned page is visible and the text is enlarged and stretched slightly horizontally. I have tried a number of different scan resolutions and color depth options without any success

Robintonqld welcome to the forums!
I saw your post about the scanning issue you are having with your Officejet 4630 on Mavericks. I have some ideas that might help!

Change scan resolution from HP Scan App iMac

I use the HP SCAN app to scan from my Photosmart. I like it because it lets me crop to constrained size. However, it seems to scan only at 200 DPI. I want a higher scan resolution. I know how to change it through System Preferences, but HP SCAN does not use those settings. How to I adjust the scan resolution from WITHIN HP SCAN application?

OK, from the HP Scan software click the Scan button.From there click the Down arrow () or the Show Details button to view and change any scan settings, including the scan resolution.

Image Capture Default Scan Resolution

I have researched how to change the default scan resolution in Image Capture. Everything I have found thus far either doesn't work or references a preference file that does not seem to exist on my machine. Current OS is 10.5.8. I had the plist file (com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist) open in BBEdit and noticed that when I Quit the application "Image Capture" the setting for ICScannerPresScanResulation switched from 300 to 150 immediately.

OK, look for some of these files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Image_Capture.XXXXXXXXX X.plist
Also, it seems that some Scanners store the Default Rez in them, might see if setting that is an option for yours.

Best scan resolution to start with?

What is the recommended resolution of a scanned photo, to get the optimum results from Photoshop's editing (using PSE 3.0 on a Mac)?
My scanner software seems to default to 150 for photos, although I can adjust it higher (when I remember to do that).
Should I be starting at 300 dpi? That is usually the recommended resolution for getting the best prints out of iPhoto.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I just sent in a 5" x 7" portrait to a developer after having scanned it and worked it up a bit in PSE 3. THEN I remembered (too late) that it was scanned at 150. Both the original and the new request are 5x7, so I will be interested in those results. Between your advice and the results of my lame test I'll likely be bumping the scan resolution next time.

Scan Resolution with HP 4630?

I have several photos that I want to scan. The HP Printer Assistant seems to limit the scan resolution to 600 dpi. I'd like to get the maximum optical resolution of the scanner (1200 dpi). Is that possible?

Greetings, @MRHJ
Welcome to the forums!
I have a screenshot from my software, could you check your software to see if you have the same option to change the resolution? Let me know if this helps you and if not, please include a screen shot of what you are seeing in your software.

HP Officejet 8600 Pro - how to change scan resolution presets at the printer

I have an HP Officejet 8600 Pro and wish to scan to email from the printer and wish to change the default resolution setting. I would like to change the default scan resolution so I dont have to remember to change it every time I scan.
If I change it with the HP Windows Printer Assistant software it only seems to change the resolution for this time and only from the computer not at the printer.
Is it possible to change the scan resolution settings at the printer? I cant find detail in the manual or on the printer console.

bvlusa,
Open the Icon labeled Officjet Pro 8600 on your desktop, and then click on Scan a Document or Photo. When the Scan application window opens you can change the Resolution from the drop down menu.
I hope this helps.

How to increase scan resolution above 300 dpi on Officejet Pro 8620 e-AIO?

Hi everyone, I wonder if anybody can help me with this, as I haven't found any info in the product support options ...
I've just checked the technical specs for my relatively new printer (bought about 3 weeks ago), and on HP's product page, it says that the scan resolution of said model should be up to a max. of 1200x1200 dpi.
However, in the scan window, there's no selection above 300 dpi possible anywhere. I've tried all kinds of different scenarios, eg. scan colour photo to jpeg/pdf, colour doc to jpeg/pdf, but in any of the selected options, the highest I can go is 300 dpi. File size is not an issue, this is about quality of the scanned document, and at the moment, I'm not happy with the results I'm getting at 300 dpi. I've played with additional options, such as Brightness/Contrast, but that's not giving me the desired results either. And besides, it's about prinicple - if it states a higher resolution, where is it?
I'm attaching a screenshot, if that's of any help. Shouldn't I see more dpi options in the drop-down menu, ie. 600 dpi, 1200 dpi?
I'll be really grateful for any insight you might have on this issue! Many thanks in advance.
Connie

Export large TIFF scans to JPEG results in distorted "banding" effect

built-in JPEG converter, when used to send TIFF files to a .Mac screensaver or when used to export TIFF files to JPEG, results in distorted images on certain kinds of TIFF files, resulting in portions of the image displayed in vertical stripes across the screen... this seems to happen mostly to landscape-oriented photos which were scannned from 8x10 at 48-bit 600dpi (5960x4699) with a file size around 100MB... but does not occur on similar scans in portrait mode (4699x5899)... indicating a possible horizontal resolution limit around 5000?
tested same files in GraphicConverter, resulting in output without this problem

I Additionally, when I convert the file using the save as command in Preview, I can convert it into a jpeg or jpeg2000 and it is much smaller (71GB for example), but the same anomalous behavior occurs when I finish editing the file and quit iPhoto- - when I double click the thumbnail, the full sized image appears briefly and then disappears. leaving in its place a completely black window. I would be most appreciative of any insights.
Thanks.

How do I change the scan resolution on my HP Officejet 4620?

My printer scans images at 200 dpi but I want to change it to scan at 300 dpi to get a better quality image, but I can't figure out how to change the settings for the resolution. I have a Mac OS X 10.8.5 Help!

Welcome to the HP Forums Roberta831,
I read your post, which indicates that you are unable to change the dpi for scanning.
I can help you with this.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Did you download and install the Full Feature Software for 10.9?
HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Maverick...
What scanning software are you using?
Try scanning with the Apple Software to see if you have the same results.

Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a wonderful day!

Merge TIFF file Resolution and page size differs. Clue ?!

Hi All,
I'm able to merge multiple TIFF files into one. But the resultant multi page TIFF file has different resolution and page size than from the source files. The width and height will get exchanged, also those texts are appear stretched.
Noteably, it happens particularly with FAX pages of TIFF files, not with any others (like printed page TIFF files).
can you help me ? Please write here your points.
Thanks a lot,
Vasu

I see I attached the link to the wrong discussion. It should have been this one. Scroll down to the workaround posted by Tomas, from August 26th.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1078666&start=0&tstart=0
Anyway, yes, that's sort of what I mean. On my iWeb 06 website, I've scaled all my pictures down to 800px x 600px with a resolution of 72dpi for online viewing. The original photos, say 3000px x 2000px at 300dpi, are simply saved on my harddrive and not used in iWeb. The thought behind that was for faster loading times for people visiting my website. I'm pretty sure when I saved these reduced copies in Photoshop, the default color profile was sRGB. However, when I look at my site on my office (Windows) PC, the pictures appear dark, especially Black & White ones. But the color profile is a separate issue covered in Tomas' workaround.
Now, maybe I'm operating on a false assumption, but I thought with this new download feature in iWeb and .Mac Web Gallery you would want to use your photos in full resolution so that when a visitor sees a picture they like, they can download the picture from your site AND could even print it if they so chose. Again, I'm assuming you would use your full resolution photos when you build your site and iWeb would do its own scaling for viewing on the web, but the full resolution photos would be somehow held in reserve for the moment when someone selects 'download'. I'm just concerned that using an unscaled, full resolution photos, would slow down the page building speed so much, that visitors would be too border to bother waiting for the pages to load. Thanks.

How do I adjust Tiff. dpi resolution?

Hi, does anyone know how I can set a specific dpi resolution of my tiff file. I have opened it as a pdf in preview and can convert it to a tiff, but I don't know what resolution it is. I have to send someone a 300 dpi tiff file and don't even know how many dpi the application "preview" converts it to.
Also, is there a way to save a multiple page tiff? Thanks so much -Lee

Use any image editing tool such as Photoshop Elements or Graphic Converter.

How do I change the resolution of a scanned document/photo on CC568A?

Its a Photosmart 7520 Series printer.
The scanned documents are way too large to email, and I can't find anywhere on the printer or online on how to change the resolution to shrink the file size.
Thank you!

Hi @JeffJohnson,
I see that you are having issues emailing the scans. I can help you.
How are you scanning the emails? (from the computer or the printer)
If you are scanning from the computer to email, you can reduce your file size by:
1. Reducing the scan resolution. Change the dpi.
2. Scan your document in black/white or grayscale.
Be aware, that this will change the quality of the scan.
Here is a document for scanning to email from the printer. I don't believe there are any settings to change the size.
How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a USB Drive, and to a Memory Card).
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Have a nice weekend!
Thank You.

Scanning a 35mm slide film and trying to get it a certain image size and resolution

Hi All,
I am using the Nikon Super CoolScan8000 and Vuescan program to scan a slide film. I am scanning at this setting: scan resolution 4000 dpi. I have to make it a certain dimension that someone has been asking me for. They want the image at Width = 60cm (approx. 23 inches) and 300 dpi.
When I scan at 4000 dpi, I'm not sure what size to make the printed width. I have experimented numerous times and I've had no luck with getting exactly what I want. It seems that when I make the width 60 cm (the height adjusts proportionately) and the dpi at 300, the quality is not that great, which it definitely needs to be because it will be printed at a large size.
Someone please help ASAP!
Thank you!
PS I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and I also have Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

You can only get 228 ppi out of the end product. That should be good enough.

Mail scanned attachments loose resolution.

I recently sent a couple of scanned documents via apple mail. These were jepgs and tiffs scanned at 300 dpi and 600 dpi. When these scans are viewed from my desktop before being mailed or viewed from the body of a "New Message" before it has been sent, they are sharp and clear--I can even see the grain in the paper. But, when viewed from a "sent" message or from a copy of the message I sent to myself, they are really pixilated and impossible to read. The mail help suggests that the size of a picture (my documents are jpegs and tiffs) can be adjusted from a popup menu in the lower right of the frame, but I can't find it. Any help.

Welcome to the Discussions.
This is a more complex question than it may first appear. For IMAP accounts at the basic level, in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced deselect to keep copies of messages and their attachments for Offline viewing, or at least select to only keep copies of the messages, but without the attachments. In this mode nothing is downloaded to local storage until you elect to read the message. Mail search nor spotlight will find the attachments in either case, but if you keep the messages w/o attachments, the message body can be searched.
I need to perform some tests for a more complete answer as to how long attachments from messages you recently read will be in local storage.
