GIMP :: Designing Calendar - Changing Resolution Of Pictures
Nov 6, 2011
I'm trying to use some pictures to design a calendar online and the pictures have to be high resolution to look right. I had no problem changing the resolution on paint shop pro until it decided it crash and never reopen. Now I'm trying to figure out how on earth to do that with gimp. On PSP I just went to image/resize and all I had to do was change the 72 to 300. I'm at loss on how to do it with any other paint or photo program.
I've just started playing around with GIMP. I've made two images containing a text to start with. For DPL2.tiff, the resolution (both X and Y) is 72 pixels/in, for DPL4.tiff it is 1 pixel/in.
My question is, shouldn't there be a noticeable difference in quality of the images?
I'm trying to create a high resolution version of a low resolution texture used in a game. I've found a pattern that I think is acceptable, from a real image.Now the question is this: how can I colorize the large image to that it is as resemblant as possible to the original one? I've tryed a simple colorize, but the result is not so good...
Just finished up a little slide show type project for the mother-in-law's 75th birthday. When I rendered the project to an AVCHD or MPEG-4 HD file, playback quality is excellent. So I needed to make a DVD version of the project as the old girl doesn't do 'puters. But when I burned the project to DVD the resolution of the pictures/titles was reduced substantially.
I used the following settings for the project and burning:
Project Props:
NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps) MPEG files 24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps Upper Field First (DVD-NTSC), 16:9 Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps) LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo
DVD Props:
DVD Video 16:9
MPEG files 24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps Upper Field First (DVD-NTSC), 16:9 Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps) LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo
The resulting burn would only load on one of three (different brand) DVD players. Picture quality poor. Visible jags on edges of titles. Flicker on background Lens Flare effect.
Then I tried changing the DVD settings to:
*DVD Slideshow 16:9
MPEG files 24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps *Frame-based (DVD-NTSC), 16:9 Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps) LPCM Audio, 48000 Hz, Stereo
This resulted in a quick load and play on all three DVD players. Flicker on Lens Flare effect gone. Picture quality still poor. Jags still visible on titles.
This is my first crack at burning to DVD and I'm just wondering what I'm missing here. I would assume that the DVD quality should be equal to AVCHD or MPEG-4.
I have started offering the option to buy high resolution pictures to cd. File Settings, Image Size, Output Sharpening - so many boxes and not sure which to check or leave unchecked A couple of the pictures I cropped to 4x6 but the others are all the original as I shot them.
As mentioned above I am facing problems with the resolution of a picture. The quality of the original picture is very good, but when I insert it in InDesign it appears distorted. The ppi is still 360 and the picture is also linked.
This problem only occurs on 3 pages of a document with 74 pages in total
Does changing the dpi of an image change the resolution of the image without changing the size?I have an image that is 300 dpi that I need to enlarge 400% changing the dpi to 75.I don't think manually changing the dpi to 600 will actually change the clarity of the image when enlarged 400%.
What am I doing wrong? Whenever I try to crop my image (72 ppi), the resolution changes to something much higher and then I end up with a very tiny picture. I've tried cropping the image as a .psd and as a .jpg and it doesn't seem to matter.
This question revolves around the pattern stamp tool and masking out trees/shrubs. I use the patterns often because I am making 3d models of buildings from photographs. Often times there are many obstructions in the images that need to be edited out. So I usually create a texture pattern and then fill it where it needs to cover up these obstructions.
The problem I see is that there is no scaling on the pattern stamp tool. Each photo that I am editing will have a different resolution and so the original pattern stamp I created will only work on the original sampled image. There are several tricks I've come up with, such as creating a vector mask out of the selection and paint bucket filling the space with the pattern, then reducing the scale of the fill, but this method doesn't work all that well..
if there is a hidden trick to scaling the pattern stamp tool to work with?
I want to take my out of camera image, which is at 314ppi at about 9x12 and crop it to 8x10 at 300ppi. But, when I go to the crop tool, and click 8x10 preset, the resolution is set at 72ppi, and i can't see how to change that. So, the preset crop tool gives an outline of the crop area that is very small. The picture itself when it comes up is something like 33 " x 38" at 72ppi. If I go into resize image, it gets time consuming; you'd think I could just select the 8x10 preset at 300ppi and get a file that is about 2400 x 3000 ppi....8x10, 300ppi.
I have just started producing photo books, and I am very pleased with the results. But then I realised that I should have changed the resolution of the images I sent to the printing company from 72 dpi to 300 dpi. I have just sent another book with all the images changed to 300dpi which should be good. But ..... I didn't do anything with the "resampling" tick box - I just left it ticked (mainly cos I didn't understand it). Should I have unchecked the "resampling" tick box?
I am creating a 5-page instruction sheet in Pagemaker 6.5 and have been given 26 digital camera photos to illustrate it. They are 72 ppi RGB jpegs, size is 31.5 x 23.6 inches (2272 x 1704). I'm using PS 6 to color-correct, crop and resize them.
The end product will be a pdf which will be made available on a website for students to download and print on their own inkjet printers, so I want them to be higher-res than 72.
Each photo needs to be cropped and reduced to around 2 x 1.5 inches. I thought I could use the crop tool to determine my target dimensions and resolution (200 PPI). I think that resamples them though, and the result has been rather fuzzy, printing the pdf on both a Docucolor and a cheapo inkjet. (My problem may also be in the Acrobat Distiller job options.)
When I change the resolution in the image size box (no resampling) and then crop it, it turns into something like an 1100 ppi image. Is that right?.
I be saving them as TIFFs or JPGs? When I tried saving as TIFFS, they looked ghastly on my monitor (in the Pagemaker file, that is).
I've just gotten an ASUS Zenbook ultrabook, and I have to say that it runs PS (CS5) beautifully. Just one problem: with the 1920x1080 resolution, the menus, tools, etc. are tiny. Is there any way to change the size of the font in PS itself without changing the resolution on the whole computer?
can anybody help with a suggestion for making a picture taken with a digital camera at 72dpi and changing it to 200 or 300dpi? I am trying to incorporate this photo in a logo that will be used for print.
I am using Photoshop CS3 Extended I am familiar with batch jobs in Photoshop. I have images that vary in pixel size and resolution.
This project is for an online gift registry. First, we are hosting the images, but they have restraints due their web/system programming. So what I was told by the company was they need the images to be 300 x 300 pixel images at 72dpi. They said they would settle for 300 width only and let me scale the proportions and not worry about the height as I want to batch the process. But they stressed 300 width and 72dpi.
What I have tried is batch resizing all of them to 300 pixel width, worked fine. Then I batched changing the resolution to 72. But it changed all the pixel dimensions to various sizes. So then I tried to batch 300 pixel width and 72 resolution at one time at it ends up the same way. So what do I need to do to get 300 x 300 pixel and 72dpi?
1)I have read plenty of PPI vs DPI. Is "resolution" in Photoshop, PPI? 2)Was what they probably meant by 72dpi actually 72ppi? 3)How do I accomplish this?
I placed a .psd image in Illustrator CS5 at 100% at 600ppi. My link information is telling me that it is at 600ppi. But when I do a 90degree rotation, my link information is now telling me that I have a picture resolution of 859ppi x 420ppi. Why is that? From what I know and learned, a resolution doesn't change except when we change the scaling of an image but not rotating it.
This made me wonder because when we receive files from customer with embed images, how can I know that this image wasn't rotated and that the link informations panel is giving me the right numbers?
I used the magic extrator to isolate my subject in a high resolution picture (3000x4000 pixels). Then I put it on a background that I got off the Internet. It looked great on the screen, but when I went to print it at a photo store, the resolution was so low that I couldn't use the picture. I also don't know how to add a background any other way. Have others had the resolution of the picture degenerate to this point when it was put on a background?
Been a CorelDraw user for a long time. Just installed x6 (previous X4), and tried to export an image to jpg. X6 seems to have this dialog box with all these presets. How do I manually set my resolution, pixels, etc. as in the previous versions?
I have some really large blueprints (black and white). Some of them exceed 30000 x 8000 in size. I want to reduce the overall size of these but when I try this my image gets really fuzzy. Is there a way to make these images smaller without messing up the clarity?
I want to change the size of the image in Gimp to 3957x4429 px (67x75 cm) at a 150dpi (the image we have has a 300 dpi.) When i do this in image - print size it keeps changing the width.
The system is not allowing me to get the picture a few cm larger. Is there any way I can overwrite this?
I recently had to reload Photoshop Elements version 9. I logged in but it stated error 400. Therefore, I purchased the new Photoshop Elements version 12. All of my pictures from version 9 are not being displayed. How do I see them?
I finish editing my pictures, save as PSD and a 2nd as jpeg. i view the picture in windows live gallery (windows 7 64bit) and it has changed to a dark deep contrast.
I open the jpeg or the PSD file and they both appear as i originally saved them until I select/ click on it. and i get the darker deep contrasted image.
I have tried to have Photoshop elements 9, in preferences set to windows color and I tried it at Adobe no difference.
Jpegs are saved as sRGB but it is affecting all images, fine while editing but when saved and reviewed it changes and when opened i get to different contrasting views of the same image when selected. This is really anoying me as you think your done and it looks completely different when you review it.
I have a problem with importing pictures from my Leica to LR3.
If the pic's are shot in black and white with the Leica preset, LR3 is changing them into colour images immediately after the import.The pic's are shot in RAW
I have taken some pictures with my camera, I cannot adjust the white balance of the camera, so the pictures come out with a slight grey background. I want to change that to a white background.
If I open a jpg with a 72.000 dpi image in Gimp, remove background and save as a transparent png, the next time I open the transparent png in Gimp the dpi is 72.009! and if the jpg has a dpi of 150 it becomes 150.012 dpi in the png when I next open in in Gimp!
why is Gimp slightly changing the dpi resolution in my png files?
Can you make a calendar in Photoshop? Be able to print it off and have everything look like a calendar? My teacher wishes to know if it would be cheaper to just do it ourselves and I believe it would be. I'm just wondering if I could make the calendar pages in Photoshop easily.
