Where can you see the size of your image?

Hi all,
For contests and such, I need to know the size of my images. I don't know where the size--in inches--displays in LR, so I always have to export to Photoshop to see what the size of the image is at different resolutions (240ppi, 300ppi, 600ppi). There must be a way, can anyone fill me in?
Thanks!
Alec

"images are by and large worthless in the real world unless they are printed in some fashion which requires inches"
Yes, but that does not mean that images on your computer (your hard drive) have a dimension in inches. The size in inches is determined on output for printing and varies according to the resolution that you choose for the print. For instance if you have an image with a pixel size of 2000 x 3000 pixels - if you print it at a resolution of 300 ppi / dpi the image size in inches will be 6.66" x 10". If you print it with a resolutin of 200 ppi / dpi the size in inches will be 10" x 15"; and if you print it with a resolution of 100 ppi / dpi the size will be 20" x 30". Of course, a print resolution of 100 ppi / dpi is only theoretical, because the quality of the print will be awful, and if you want to print an image of 2000 x 3000 ppi in a size of 20' x 30' you have to upsample (enlarge) it first.
So size of an image in inches is detyermind by the formula: pixel amount / resolution in ppi/dpi.
ppi = pixels per inch - ppi is used when we talk about an image on screen
dpi = dots per inch - dpi is used when we talk about print output.

"LR printing is fine for snapshots but insufficient for printing from large format printers for fine art."
Why, do you say that? Printing from LR is not substantially different than printing from Photoshop. LR gives you the same printing options as does Photoshop.
I suggest you have a second look at the Print Module in LR.

  • How do you see the size of your library now in iTunes 11?

    On iTunes 10 when you were looking at your song list, at the bottom everyone has seen the small informative text that tells you how many days it would take to listen to the songs that you currently have on the screen. Where is that information now??
    How do you see the size of your library, or is there an option in iTunes 11 that will allow you to enable a way to see that text again at the bottom of your screen?

    In the menu bar, open "view", and click "show status bar"
    (Or the shortcut to toggle it is CTRL + / )

  • Can you increase the size of your contact photos on the BB Style?

    When a call comes in, is there a way to increase the size of the photo to actually be able see who it is whose calling?  I mean when they say "thumbnail" photo, they aren't kidding!

    From within the phone, no you can't increase the size of the display photo.
    There are apps available in AppWorld which may be able to accomplish this but that's the only way you'll be able to adjust the size.
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

  • When you open a mac pdf file in Acrobat 9.5 and add pages where can you see the new file size?

     

    This isn't known until you actually save the file. The size will also depend on how you save.
    File > Save - always bigger, nothing ever deleted
    File > Save as - dead stuff removed
    File > Save as with Fast Web View (may be default) - duplicate backgrouds combined, but extra information added for web view
    So, save it, then use command+D to get info.

  • Where can you see the time of the movie

    Hello to you all, i have a question about Imovie 11. A friend send me 3 small video's from his phone, with a description wich fragments to use.
    Example: Movie 1: from 00.00.35 - 00:01:27 and from 00:02.40 - 00:002.49, etc.
    But I don't see a timeline? I can't see where I am in the movie.
    I need to select fragments based on time, it would seem to me that this is really basic functionality?
    Thanks in advance,
    Simon

    Hmm, it works for the project, but not in the library, then you just get the title of the date and time the video has been imported. (And that is the place where I would like to see the original time changing)
    If I use the information in the project, I can't cut several pieces of time, because than the time of the second fragment wouldn't be right anymore..
    Thanks for you reply!

  • HT5766 Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?

    Hello,
    Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion (Mac OSX 10.8.3) this information is no longer available in software updates listing you get if you click on the Software Update menu item from the Apple menu.
    I found the download size (often hundreds of megabytes for an individual update and sometimes a set of updates might amount to a few gigabytes) to be very helpful, and now that it seems no longer available (I can't even see it on the web page I came to for more information, thinking the download size would surely be specified there), it is frustrating. My current example is iTunes 11.0.3
    I would greatly appreicate having this information back in the software updates listing, but since it is no longer available there, and I don't know where else to find it, if anybody can enlighten me to its whereabouts, I'd be grateful.
    Thanks and cheers!

  • How can I see the size and colour of text in DW Cs5?

    Hi forum, how do you see the size and colour of a piece of text in Dreamweaver Cs5, I have some text in a dreamweaver file which is a size I like and a colour I like and I want to make a CSS rule with these characteristics. How can you see what size and colour a piece of text is?
    Many thanks for any help
    Gareth

    <td height="89" colspan="5" valign="top"><p><font color="#FF0066" size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">what is the text size, colour and boldness of this piece of text.</font></p></td>
    Above code is deprecated.  CS5 will not pick up these styles in the CSS styles panel.  Legacy sites are not simple to work with.  They need to be converted to  modern standards.  You do this by stripping the HTML styles from markup  and re-writing styles to CSS.
    <p>This is a normal paragraph</p>
    Put your CSS styles between your document's <head> and </head> tags:
    <style type="text/css">
    p {
    color: #FF0066;
    font-size: small;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    </style>
    Or, create an external stylesheet to which your HTML documents are linked like this:

  • I send mi link for podcast and i dont have answer, please where can i see the satus for aprobal

    where can i see the status for mi podcast?
    i got the mail that is in process but never the answer that was aproved or not!
    that was 5 days ago
    Thanks

    It can take at least two weeks for a podcast to be approved - sometimes more - as it required human intervention and there may be a large backlog. It's just a question of waiting. As you've received the acknowledgement email things are plainly underway, and all being well you should get an acceptance email eventually, giving you the URL of your Store page.

  • How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it??? At the moment, if I view them on my laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part.

    How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture.  Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!

    Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there. 
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • BDC question - Where can I see the results of a SUCCESSFUL BDC?

    Hello friend,
    Where can I see the results of a SUCCESSFUL BDC?
    I've tried SM35 but I beleive it'll show results if and when there are errors. otherwise, if the batch input is successful nothing is kept. So where do I see the results of a error free batch job please?
    Many thanks.

    hi,,,,,
    Logically Logs are maintained for those details which are not processed Succesfully,
    But still if you want to see the succesfull logs then you have to do coding in your BDC report, there is a function module that stores the sttus message for each record you pass in the BDC,
    CALL FUNCTION 'FORMAT_MESSAGE'
            EXPORTING
              id   = it_messtab-msgid
              lang = 'EN'
              no   = it_messtab-msgnr
            IMPORTING
              msg  = vl_mstring.
          it_ini_con-status = 'S'.
          it_ini_con-mssg = vl_mstring.                 "'valid Employee Number'.
    Thanks
