Photoshop :: Making Low Resolution Image Look Higher Resolution For Print
Mar 17, 2013
I realize the nature of my question maybe asking the impossible, but I have a low res image I downloaded from the internet, placed in an InDesign page, blew it up and printed it out. I was going for the distressed look that it has, it looks ok when I print it out considering it's low res and I blew it up fairly large. However, it's a little too pixelated to look professional when printed. Are they any tricks or things I can do to make it look higher res for print. I've attached the image as well as a screenshot of the InDesign file so you can see it in context.

I can do it, but I was wondering if there is a better way.
Large PS file (CS6 and CC) half a dozen texture layers using low res images. Several have blend modes, transparency and even masks. I now have the same images in high res. I want to replace just the image, but not lose my blend/transparency, or masks.
Do I bring in the high res layer, copy the mask over etc? Then delete the original?

I often make HDR images by exporting a bracket from lightroom into photoshop via right click>merge to HDR in photoshop. When the dialog comes up it is always a very low resolution preview. When I go to zoom in (cmd +) the resolution remains the same and I am zooming in on a pixelated image and the zoom is very limited.
I am working from D3s files so there is plenty of resolution but it just doesn't show up in the preview. Is this simply the way it works or is there a way I can get a higher resolution preview. I'm not worried about rendering times either as I'm on a 8 core with 16gb or ram.

Im printing this on an Epson Stylus CX4600. It supports 1440DPI Printing. Ive tried setting the resolution in photoshop to 1440 on the printer section (edit/preferences/units & rulers). Ive tried printing on photopaper, glossy photopaper, matte paper, and regular paper. Ive set the printer for best quality, normal quality and everything in between. But still everytime I print, it does not look as it does on the screen. It prints out fairly blurry, you cant read any text thats on it, except the top part, and thats even blurry.

My Dad recently upgraded his monitor from an old CRT on 1024x768 resolution to a new LCD with 1920x1080 resolution, and he's found that tools that require the use of the mouse are running particularly slowly now. He's using Photoshop on a Windows Vista 64-bit machine with 4GB RAM and around 3.5TB of storage space. Do you know why the sluggishness might be occurring?

What is the best format to save high resolution black and white photographic work? Tiff? JPEG? Also, I'm confused about the Tiff save dialog.
When saving as Tiff, there is a box I can check labeled "ICC Profile: Grey Gamma 2.2". What does this do?
Also, later I'm asked if I want LZW compression. I want as high resolution as possible, file size is not an issue. So I assume I'm not interested in compression.
But is Tiff the best format for me?

I am a Photoshop newbie and I have a series of graphics (all 72dpi from a website) that I would like to print in 300dpi. Is it possible to take a 72dpi .jpeg or .gif file and easily convert it to a higher resolution printable graphic? If Photoshop can't do it, is there any type of program that can?

I am rendering projects to print them in large format pages, but the printed images the edges are not so sharp, so I tried to rise the render quality, but the final result is always in 72. How can I give a higher quality in order to print those images in large format.

I have a project in which I am designing a website in Photoshop at 72 dpi. Everytime I bring in a photo be it an AI file, or jpeg or even tif that is much, larger than the 72 dpi .psd file I am working in, the image becomes blurry as I scale it down. Why is this and what then should I be doing to get my images crisp for a final file that will be used to slice out web assets during the build.

I have a large number of landscape images (golf course holes) that are 1600x1200 pixels and I would like to be able to print them at an image size of 8.5"x11.0" with 300dpi.
Would I be better off using the resampling capabilities of CS6 or Perfect Resize 7.5 (I do not currently own this software but can afford it) to "upsample" the image or scanning the smaller prints (4.0"x5.3" at 300dpi) with a larger number of pixels and then re-printing the images at the larger size? Note; I own a Epson Perfection V750M Pro scanner that is capable of 6400x6400 scans.
I realize I can have a 30-day free trial of the Perfect Resize 7.5 but thought I would try the forums before I went to the trouble of downloading and using this new software and then comparing it to the scanned and reprinted images.

I have been asked to make a postcard, but the problem is I have only ever used Photoshop for web images, ie at 72 dpi.
I was wondering, what resolution do I have to use for print materials? 300 dpi?
Also, if I have an image taken from a website can I just put it in photoshop and change the resolution to 300 dpi, then use it in a print project? Is such a thing workable?
Or, do I have to use images with a starting resolution of 300 dpi?

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...

I am making christmas photocards. I used photoshop 4.0. I started with a blank file 4x6 inches. I saved with a quality of 10. I ordered the prints online and they came back with the worst resolution.

I'm designing a real-estate flier for a friend and am trying to add some text to a white background. There is going to be plenty of text and photos on the sheet so I'm trying to use a font size of 8. When I printed this out the text was extremely blurry. I tried several different fonts with the same result.
What would be the best setttings to do something like this? I think I'm supposed to use CMYK Mode but am not sure about the resolution or the pixel dimensions.

i print to a number of networked printers. All print fine apart from one, an HP Lazer Jet 9050. All files sent to print from photoshop result in very low resolution, as if a mesh is places over the screen.
A range of PC print photoshop to the HP 9050 with not problem. I can open a jpeg in a number of other spftware packages such as microsoft picture manager or InDesign and send to the HP 9050 and these also come out fine. The low resolution issue is specifically photoshop on my pc to the HP 9050 and no other.

I'm trying to print the presidential medal of freedom in high-res but all the samples I found on Google image search and on wiki are low-res. Since I need it for print, I increased it to 300dpi and it looks really jagged and blurred. I tried to search for a vector version, but couldn't find it. This is how it looks:
I tried all the filters as well, but couldn't find one that suits me (cutout is the closest, but it still looks horrible). I'm using Photoshop CS5.
Except finding an original high-res (which is impossible right now), in which other creative way can I fix it?

Just recently moved to Gimp. I like it but I am struggling. Millions of questions, but to start: How can I alter the resolution of and image without changing its physical size. I am trying to keep to a print size of 7x5", and reduce the resolution to 300pixel/inch. When I go to: 'set image print resolution' and change the X and Y resolution, the 'Print Size' changes with it. I have tried everything I can think of. I have make a new file at the correct resolution and pasted the image in, but the colors in the photos changed, so I dumped that idea.

I'm building graphics for a large display wall, too large for Illustrator to handle in actual size.
So, I'm working at half the actual dimensions and at 150 ppi. I want the final file for print to be actual size (obviously) plus be 300 ppi.
A company will be doing this, and because I'm not sure what they do to double my file for print, I'm not sure what the effect will be.
QUESTIONS:
1) If I build vector graphics at half size, 150 ppi, when they double, will it actually be at 300 ppi?
2) If I add photos (raster) at 300 ppi to the 150 ppi artboard, will they retain 300 ppi when the final file is doubled on their end, or will it be bumped up to 600 ppi?

The print resolution is no longer displayed making it difficult to decide if I need to modify the resolution prior to printing. Second, Lightroom 5 no longer generates a print preview. I select this option in my printer interface but sends the image directly to the printer without generating the preview. I did not have these issues with Lightroom 4 or earlier versions.

In Lightroom 4, I need to figure out how large a photo can print and still keep good resolution. I .e., I want to print a photo at 20x30" and I need to know ahead of time that it will look good printed at that size.

Recently, Photoshop CS3 (installed on PC with Windows XP) has been changing the resolution of my images. I'll create an image and save it (as anything... jpg or png). When I close and reopen the image, its values have changes. For example: a 10 x 5" images at a resoltion of 300 will somehow change to 100 x 50 at a low resolution of something like 6. I'd like to know what causes this.

I have recently started stock photography websites as I am interested in pursuing selling my photography as such. A few of the sites I was looking at had requirements of 300 dpi. I assumed my photos were okay because I have a Canon Digital Rebel, but when I looked at the resolution in Photoshop, it was only 180 dpi.
Well - so here I go and do batch processing to 300 dpi, and yes - I did this to all of my photos. Thousands. It took me a week during my spare time.
Now I'm reading online that one should never actually enlarge their images - or "rezz them up" to larger sizes by selecting the "resample" box. Well - I did select the resample box. I didn't know!
My question is this: Have I ruined my photos? Can I go backward? Can I repeat the process by selecting 180 dpi (which is what they were to begin with) instead of the 300 dpi that I changed them to? Well, I guess I know that I "can" do that, but is it unrealistic to presume that the images will be back to normal?

In the Print Module, with the Print Resolution box left unchecked, how does LR choose the ppi that will be sent to the printer? I realize that it is using an algorithm to choose a ppi.
