Lightroom :: How To Enlarge Image On IMac To Fill Screen
Apr 24, 2012
I use an iMac with LR3. I would like to know if it is possible to enlarge the image so as to fill the screen. I have tried Window>screen mode> full screen and pressing L to get rid of panels but there is still a large black margin around the image.
LR has just started to launch in full screen mode on my iMac without any opportunity to minimize it or move to another program. I would like it to launch like it used to where I can control the window size but can't seem to figure out how to get back to that capability. I have an iMac running Mountain Lion. LR is the only program effected as Photoshop still launches the old way.
There is a stark difference between how the images processed on my iMac look versus how they are seen on a PC. Image quality diminished significantly when viewed on PC. Is there some sort of setting that I am missing or something in how I export the images from Lightroom 4.4 as jpegs
I'm trying to use content-Aware fill to enlarge a photo into different aspect frame. The subject is in pool, surrounded by a large area of water. I've put the image in to the larger aspect ratio canvas, with a green solid background behind it, then merged those two layers together as one. I selected all the green and delted using content-aware fill. It did a pretty good job but it's also recreating some of the subject.  Is there a way that I can specify the area that it chooses from, ie the water?
When I drag a photo file to Photoshop, it opens in a size significantly smaller than the workspace. (This is especially true with vertical [portrait] photos.) Therefore, every time I open a photo (and I do this typically hundreds of times a day...), I have to drag the lower right corner way out to enlarge the frame, and then I have to scroll the mouse wheel to make the picture expand to (approximately) fill the frame. Only then can I see it well enough to make the required ajustments to the file. Isn't there a way to tell Photoshop how large I want the photos to appear in the workspace, so it opens every new photo file to the same size? I am using Photoshop CS (not CS2 or CS3).
It only happens after Photoshop CS6 (fully updated i Mac and CS6 - see below image for specs) has been running for awhile. The screen, in dark areas of the display, will have screen flicker like stars twinkling on a night sky. Then the display will completely go black and then back on about every 5 seconds. The only way I can make it stop is to power the i Mac off and then start it back up. Then it's fine until the next time I start Photoshop.
It doesn't do it immediately when Photoshop starts. It's usually about 30 - 60 minutes after I've started it. Also if I open Photoshop and use it and then shut it down I don't have any issues...only after it has been running for a while.
I have a layered vector drawing of an iMac. Sometimes I want to take a screen grab of a website I have created and place it within this vector to put on my website as part of my portfolio. Â To do this I use the Apple screen grab command, then I shrink this very large png file and place it on the appropriate layer on my iMac vector illustration. The trouble is it looks terrible once it has been shrunk down to size. You can not read the text or the url properly... Â I see websites all the time that have this type of thing and the image looks great. Any tips on how to do this? Â FYI I'm working off a 27 inch mac screen, so my captured png image is always huge. The quality is getting lost when I reduce the size of the placed image in Illustrator. Â This is what mine look like:
For the first time since I've had my iMac, the docking station (which is at the bottom of the screen) disappears out of the bottom of the screen. I can bring it back using my mouse, but when I move my mouse somewhere else on the screen, it disappears again off screen.  How do I get it to "stay on screen"
I've got a hi-res tiff image (5031x3579 px) which I need to use as a background on a very large print (2500 mm x2500 mm, 300 dpi). I placed the original image in InDesign and had to enlarge it by approx 800% to fit the canvas. Effective dpi ended up at 35dpi. This, no suprise, looks **** when viewed at 50-100%, so I thought maybe it would be better to resize the image in photoshop before placing it in InDesign. Well, I did do that and ended up with an image with a huge filesize (2,5 Gb) before saving it as a tiff again. I noticed that many of the save as options didn't come up, only tiff, Large image format and native PS. I still dont know what the final file size will be... still waiting for it to finish processing. Â The method I used for enlargement was: Image size -> resample - bicubic smoother (best for enlargement) - in three steps, 200% up - 200% up - 150% up. Â What is the best way using photoshop CS6? I know I will loose quality, but want to minimize the apparent loss the best way.
I'm wanting to put up some pictures in my "study" that are influencing, read it in a magazine, and I remember these. Looking on the web it seems everyone "wished they'd come up with this ad campaign".
I'd like to enlarge them to A4 size as well, just to put them in glass frames, I don't know how legal this is but I can't find anywhere that sells them on the web, or who actually made them ?
I've always worked with Photoshop (CS3). However, I just upgarded to CS Cloud and want to learn how to work with SVG images. Â Apparently, I can't open SVG images with Photoshop, so I open them in Illustrator and then export them in a format I can use on the web (usually .png or .jpg). I guess I should be able to publish images in the .svg format to the web, but I don't understand how to work with them yet. Â Anyway, many of the SVG images I open in Illustrator are the size of the white rectangular area in the center of the workspace. If I save them as a .png, they're often 200-300 pixels wide, when I want them to be 500-600 pixels wide. So how do I enlarge them? I've typed "enlarge" and "resize" into search but haven't found anything useful. Â Of course, I can enlarge the .png's, but they often become distorted. As I understand it, SVG files don't get distorted when they're enlarged, right? Â Also, what's the best way to select a certain portion of an image and enlarge it? Â On a sidenote, I tried exporting one SVG image as a TIFF, and it took forever to process, eventually crashing my computer.
I was sent an image from an i pad. It is only 320x240, 40kb and 72ppi. I tried in CS6 to enlarge it but anything over the initial image size is deeply blurred using Image or canvas in Image dropdown. Â Can this be resolved to enlarge to 4x6, 5x7,8x10 with in CS6?
I go-image-resize-resample-unncheck resize all layers-set new value via % (tried 400%)-lock aspect ratio in a jpeg image.but not much happens, I want to try and double the size, where am I going wrong?
I'm Trying to make a Headshot. Using my (Epson Perfection 1260)Scanner, I scanned a Back and White(4"x6") Sharp Image Photo at (1200 dpi) and enlarged it to(7"x 9").
Using PhotoShop I Sharpend the Image. I printed at (1440 dpi) using Glossy Photo Paper with my "Epson Stylus Photo 750" Printer. The Image has turned out Grainy and not very clear as the original although it did manage to pickup up detail like lint on the photograph LOL.
I tried enlarging the image in PS and increased the amount of Pixels, instead of during the scanning process but that resulted in poorer quality image.
The Photos that remain the same size as the original turn out excellent photo quality images.
How do I enlarge a photo from a smaller image and maintain almost the same quality as the original? It seems I am losing resolution somewhere along the way.
You know when in a newspaper you get a star with a suspicious white ring round there nose, or a ingagment ring missing they have the image then a section coming off of it and enlarged.
Why does an imported photo on my computer screen in Library and Develop modes in LightRoom 3 appear to be less sharp than the original photo? What to do? When I export the same photo, without making any adjustments to the photo in LightRoom, it appears to be sharp again.
I just got CS6 and went to use the lens flare. The window is so small, I can't see where the flare is being placed. Is there any way to enlarge the image in the tiny window?
i just want to select an image so that i can rotate it and enlarge it. however when i selected it using the marquee tool, and clicked image>rotate 90 cw, it rotated the entire canvas and its contents. all i wanted to do was to rotate just this image that i thought i had selected. am i doing something wrong? is the marquee tool the wrong tool to use to select an image ?
I am a new user of GIMP on a late 2008 MacBook Pro with Leopard (10.5.. I am trying to work with an image by applying filters however the image in the filters dialogue box is so small, it's almost unusable. How I can enlarge a portion of my pic in this box to more accurately alter it?
When I zoom to 1:1 with LR5 in the Develop module, I get a sharp image almost instantly, but when I then go to full screen (or go to full screen first and then zoom to 1:1), the image is blurry and stays that way, and the only way I can fix that, strangely, is to use the left or right arrow key to go to a neighboring image, and then return, at which point the blurry image comes into sharp focus in a second or so. My system seems to handle everything else in 64-bit LR5 with ease. Any thoughts re what's happening and how to fix it. A great product overall, and I love the full screen feature in other respects.
I'm a huge fan of Full screen mode (pressing F) to review my image large without UI clutter.However often the image in Fullscreen looks quite different from what I see in normal mode within Develop. The full screen image is brighter (by about 0.5EV) and lacks contrast. Exporting the image and reviewing externally shows that it is faithful to the version in normal Develop mode. Â Originally I thought this was due to visual perception where the dark border made the full screen version appear brighter, but this isn't the case. Using Lights out mode with all tabs collapsed and then switching to Fullscreen also exhibits the difference. Further I've taken screenshots of both modes, put them in layers in Photoshop and the difference is very noticeable switching between them. Â I'm not sure if nobody is noticing or using Fullscreen or if it's somehow unique to me? As it stands, without being able to trust Fullscreen mode showing a faithful image it's rather useless as a review tool.
The problem is, whenever I insert e.g. a picture or want to create a font, this is as small as a point and each time when opening Photoshop CS6. Is there a way to solve the problem so that's the image a lot more bigger directly?
