Transferring print media cmyk - 300 dpi to rgb - 72 dpi for email

I have created a newsletter on 11 x 17 paper using cmyk - 300 dpi, which was printed. I now want to be able to separate this into 4 - 8.5 x 11 pages and put in rgb - 72 dpi to be sent out in emails. Can this be done? Is there documenation I can follow to accomplish this?
Thanks for your help.
Sandy

yes, that´s true, you need acrobat, professional or standard...
You will find pages panel from left side of acrobat window or from menu (View > Navigation Panels > Pages).
Crop tool is one of Advanced Editing tools, you will find it from Tools-menu...
Image softening is common problem in case of downscaling more than 20-30%... more you downscale, more your images get soft... There´s not much you can do about it in ID>PDF process... if you want your images to be perfect, I´m afraid you have to downscale and sharpen them before you export...

How to increase UIImage DPI taken from iPad Mini from 72 DPI to 300 DPI for OCR Scanning?

We are trying to get an accurate ocr scanning for MRZ using tesseract libraries. However we are getting incorrect results specially with character M (which usually comes out as H).
As going thru numerous blogs, the suggestion is to have a higher DPI image (300 dpi), but the image captured by IPAD Mini is only 72dpi. Can increasing the resolution provide better result. In which case, help in conversion to 300dpi will be greatly appreciated.
Is there an alternate solution for this issue that we are facing.

You are in the Using iPhone forum. I will ask the hosts to move this to the iPad forum. However, I'm not aware of any setting change you can make to the cameras in the iPad or iPhone.

Help! My 300 dpi images are printing low quality!

I've purchased print-ready images (300 dpi) from an extremely well-known stockphoto website to use in a brochure I'm creating. On the brochure cover (which is 8.5" x 5.5"), I have placed 14 of these print-ready images. (FYI-all of these print-ready images are pictures of people smiling while doing various activities.)
As you can imagine, I have had to reduce the scale of each of these print-ready images to approximately 1" x 0.7" to fit on the page. The layout itself looks really nice, but when I attempt to create a .pdf using the "Print Booklet" option, all of my images look horrible! I've also attempted to create a .pdf using the "Export" function and selecting "Press Quality" and my images are slightly better, but still look horrible!
I have also re-scaled the images in Photoshop (leaving them at 300 dpi) and created a .tiff file, but no matter what I do (and I've been wrestling with this single problem for DAYS), I can't get these images to actually appear clearly on a printed page. When I forwarded my brochure (in .indd, .pdf, and .eps formats) to a professional printing company, they came back to me telling me to use print-ready images.
I've been working with print-ready images for well over a year and have sent multiple jobs to professional printers and this is the first time I've ever had a problem with images looking like they aren't print-ready. Could it be that you can only reduce the size of an image so much? Has anybody had this problem before???
Thanks in advance for your input!

Thanks for the comments thus far! I forgot to mention that all of my images are .jpegs (300dpi).
I've reviewed my "Print Booklet" settings and under my "Images- Send Data," I have "All" selected as opposed to "Optimized Subsampling." My Effective Resolution is also set at 300 dpi.
I'm still working, and am open to more suggestions.
Thanks!

Why am I getting an error when trying to export a jpeg at 300 dpi?

I am trying to export a 18" x 24" illustrator file to a jpg at RGB 72dpi and CMYK 300 dpi. 72, no problem but when I try to export at 300 I get an error message. Any ideas why this is happening?

Not so much a RAM problem as it may be a scratch disk problem. Illustrator may be looking for 1.) a place to put the file, and 2.) enough scratch space to accomplish the op. Try opening the .ai file using Photoshop using the size 18 x 24 @ 300 ppi in the Open dialog. That will rasterize the file ( not sure why you'd want to ).

How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?

How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?
I have been trying to convert images created in webex and transferred to illustrator into 300 dpi tifs. They download as ucf's when generated on white board. Or I have to upload files from other webex participants coming in at 72 dpi, converting them to something bigger in photoshop to paint in before taking them back into the webex session as a doc that then gets worked on further during the session. Later they go into illustrator for some more work with vectors. That's fine for the web but now a publisher wants them as 300 dpi tifs and I can only get things back & forth as 72 dpi pdf's. If I try to bump them up with a resample, they come out teensy weensy. What am I missing and is there any way to make them look good?

What I need is to be able to transfer the images between formats without degradation of the resolution and find ways to sharpen what I have even if I can't increase pixels. If the original I'm delivered is a 96 dpi power point slide, for example, that's what I have to work with, I'm using Illustrator to compensate with vectors. But then I still need to get it back to a 300 dpi tiff to meet the specs.

How do I know if I am at 300 dpi in iPhoto?

I have to send jpegs of my artwork for a bid. They want the jpegs to be a maximem size per image 300 dpi. How do I know if I am at 300 dpi in iPhoto?

DPI has no meaning unless you know how big a print they want to use. Check the pixel dimension of the photos you have and divide them by 300. That's the size of the print you can print at that dimension. This explains it in more detail: The Myth of DPI. Send them the largest verson of the photos as that's the best you can do.
We get this question a lot. Can you ask them what print size at 300 dpi they want? Then you can resize the files to those exact pixel dimensions, i.e for an 8 x 10 give them 2400 pixels x 3000 pixels.

I need to capture a 300 dpi still image from my film to send to a magazine, how can I do that? Thank you.

I am trying to capture the still image and it comes as 72 dpi. I need the 300 dpi for a magazine.
Some places suggests that I transfer it to 300 dpi using photoshop. But the best is to go from the original.
Can someone help me with this?
I have shoot my video using a canon 5d
Thank you,

Video does not have dpi. Pixel size is fixed. dpi is a print function. The only way to create 300dpi is to use scaling in Photosop or to use a dedicated application like PhotoZoom Pro, which is what I have always used for my books to create high resolution print images of screen shots.

72 dpi and 300 dpi

Is it the same image quality if I were to design an image in photoshop CS3 at 72 dpi and then change the size to 300 dpi for printing, as designing the image at 300 dpi right away?
If not, does anyone know the percentage I can set my workspace so that it would represent the original size?
I am designing a postcard at 6x4 and when its 300 dpi it is obviously huge on my screen and I would like to see it as the original size so that I can have an idea of how it looks.

First of all on the screen it is pixels (ppi) not dpi.
Having got this out of the way, a quick way to see print size it to select the Zoom tool and pick the appropriate button in the Options bar at the top.
For some basic information on resolution and printing go to www.scantips.com and browse through the articles. (It's not all bout scanning!)
..and of course there is the excellent article at http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1332854

Printers require 300 dpi - A different question/issue about 72 dpi

Hello,
I've read through many of the threads on 300 ppi/dpi. I understand the solutions offered such as batch processing and how the printer will print the image size that equals the 300 dpi. However, I have a different issue. I purchased just this week a Rebel T5 with the assumption that I would be able to take 300 dpi images not 72. I create books for print and my printers require 300 dpi. They will not do the conversion. My options in the past have been film camera to CD (old, I know) or the iPhone. I was spending a lot of time in Photoshop getting the images to printer requirements. So imagine my dismay uploading the first batch of photos into Photoshop and seeing 72 dpi. Yes I was able to change them 300 - but this is exactly the production work I had hoped to not have by purchasing the new Rebel.
There has got to be a better way?
Or is it a different digital camera I need to purchase?
Thank you for your help.

It's that you (abetted by Photoshop) are reading too much into the term "dpi". The size of a digital photograph is measured in pixels, not inches. For a given pixel count, the picture will print smaller at 300 dpi than at 72 dpi, but will have, by definition, a correspondingly higher resolution. You start with a RAW image and crop it to the desired aspect ratio. Then you compute how many pixels you need in, say, the longer dimension, given the native resolution (e.g., 300 dpi) of the printer and the desired picture size (e.g., a length of 10 inches). Finally, you convert the image to JPEG, setting the number of pixels in the long dimension of the converted image to that computed number (e.g., 3000). Then when you print the image, things will come out right. What you describe above is Photoshop trying to do the calculation for you. But IMO, that usually just adds confusion. Work in pixels and you won't go wrong.
The calculation is different, though just as straightforward, if the printer differentiates "dots" from pixels. But I think most modern printers either don't make that distinction or do it behind the scenes, so that you can specify everything in pixels.

6500a E1710n-z Printer (unable to alter print quality setting off of 300 dpi)

How can I change the print quality setting up or down. The preferences are locked on 300 dpi no matter what I change. Sometimes if I delete all drivers and reload the setting will come back at 600 dpi but again the settings are un-changable. I have tried for 2 weeks to get an answer and no one seems to know. Please help!

Hi bnachsin,
hmmmm...can you describe the software application you are using when printing, and attempting to change the print settings? Also, can you note which OS (Win7, etc) you are using?
Lastly, can you describe if this only happen with certain print jobs (text, etc) or all print jobs, and describe what you are printing?
bhachsin,
it occured to me that this device may be relying on a media sensor to perform paper type/width detection.
Question: are you using specific/special paper (colored, pre-printed paper, or cheques) for your print job?
Quick test: If you are using special paper, try using a white, plain sheet of paper instead of the paper you using and let me know the results.

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s? And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.

How do I take 300 dpi photos with my iPhone 4s?
And how do I export them to my MacBook Pro at 300 dpi to use as I want to print photos.
I have been using the standard camera on the iPhone and require 300 dpi to create photo books as the photos are resized according the layout.
Your time and assistance in appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks Tonefox!
After looking at a few of the links I found a mathematical equation that assisted me.
Inches = Pixels/DPI
eg: 3 inches = 300 pixels/100 DPI
Using this equation and the fact that iPhone 4s takes photos that are 3264 x 2448 I was able to work out the largest print I could make with 300 DPI.
Width 3264 pix/ 300 DPI = 10.88 inches
Height 2448 pix/ 300 DPI = 8.16 inches
Therefore, the largest print (with 300DPI) I can make of these photos is 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches.
Which is great!
So is it critical for me to change the dpi in say photoshop or does it not matter as long as I don't go above the 10.88 inches x 8.16 inches?
From what I can gather the smaller I resize the photo the higher the DPI and the bigger I stretch the photo the lower the DPI?
Further clarification will be much appreciated. Thanks

Export Print Press Quality at 300 dpi vs. Interactive at 150 dpi

When I export a file from InDesign using the Press Quality preset, 300 dpi, I get a smaller file size than when I export it as an Interactive PDF with the dpi set at 150. Just wondering why?

300 dpi. I'm attaching some screen shots for the two settings, interactive and print quality. When exporting, you are given some choices for "interactive", "print", "epub", etc. The two things I'm wondering about are interactive and print formats. As I understand it, the Interactive format is better for viewing on devices such as iPads, etc. I'm just puzzled as to why the file size is larger even though my DPI settings are lower.

Emailing photos for newspaper print - Need 300 dpi

I have read so many different articles on this and am still confused.
I have pictures in iPhoto '09 that, whatever way I export or email them, the Image dpi ends up at 72.
The paper is insisting on 300 dpi. Is it 72 because of how the camera was set and I'm out of luck, or
is there some way of exporting them that I can effect that change to 300?
Thank you!

DPI is Dots Per Inch. Therefore you need inches to knoe DPI
If the photo is to be printed as a 4x6 print then you need a 1200 (4*300) x 1800 (6*300) pixel image
DPI has no meaning within iPhoto. It is a mathematical calculation dividing dots (pixels) by inches

Image 292 dpi, will print at 300 dpi

Hello, I'm working on a magazine and we would really like to have a certain photo, but unfortunately it's a bit too small. When placed and resized correctly InDesign tells me that the image is at 292 dpi, it will be printed at 300 dpi. I understand that this could be printer specific, but how do you think the result will be? Will 8 dpi off be noticeable? Of course if possible I will print that specific image. But if not, would you take the risk of having an image at 292 dpi hoping it will be alright?
EDIT: Oh, some info: it's going to be printed on A4, the photo in question will be 213 mm x 88.25 mm at the top of the page.

All image resolution requirements that you may here are generally really guidelines. Assuming you are printing via either a PDF or PostScript workflow, all the images are resampled during the RIP's separation and halftoning process anyway. Don't sweat over the difference between 292dpi and 300dpi (although some under-educated prepress people may claim that the 292dpi is not good enough and refuse to print it.
