Confusion of DPI

I'm a little confused about the DPI.

Having created a PDF to iWorks/Pages using export (Image quality: best), I would like to know the PDF DPI, resulting.

With the help of Acrobat (Mac 11.0.02) I tried to go to the properties, but it shows only the size of the file:

After reading the warnings on other forums about how Pages export DPI has low resolution, I wanted to check out what I had generated. I had hoped that acrobat Pro could do that.

Then, having filed my PDF to CreateSpace, the Soft inner critic announced problems with some images in the PDF:

Back to Acrobat, I tried to get info on the specific image but offers simply right click a 'editing in another application' option, which is me to PhotoShop Elements, which tells me that the image in 2.70M/2.70M, and I still don't unless you know/understand its DPI resolution!

I explored before the flight, but it is quite disconcerting at this stage.

In the Pro. version of Acrobat XI, you will find a tool called overview of output to the printing Panel. Open and select Object Inspector drop down menu overview. Then move the cursor to crosshairs anywhere that you want to taste in the document and the results will appear in the window below.

  • How to determine or change the DPI setting on a photo?

    Our son was killed while serving in Iraq.  A group of history approached us, as well as other families, for pictures of our son to use in a documentary of the battle.  They asked for the photos in "600 dpi.  I have not tried something like that for several years has so much changed and I'm lost.  I'm 10.11.2 on an iMac OS, and as far as I know, all software is aware of upgrades.  All my photos are saved on an external hard drive, but I want to be sure to preserve the originals without any damage.  Online research just confused issues.  I used Apple/Mac since the Apple IIe, so I know that it shouldn't be hard to do.

    Condolences for the loss of your son. Another vet but in Vietnam. We appreciate all of its services.

    Probably the best application for this would be Graphic Converter.

  • How to convert from the ppi to dpi in Photoshop CC?

    Hello

    I work with a printer who just told me all my files to be submitted to 150dpi, my work is currently a 5 x 5 recorded at 300 ppi that it needs.  I see that I can change it to 300 DPI in many different document sizes, but will reduce the resolution to 150 in this dialog box to change the dpi to 150? I'm confused, but I'm not confused dpi and ppi, I don't know how to convert what I want my printer. Please help me! Thank you.

    It is not a problem at all.   If you have 5 x 7 @ 300, just check resample and change it for a 150.

    In the drop-down menu, save and give it a '5 x 7 @ 150 dpi' name will then appear in the menu presets and you can choose that the drop-down list files to print to this specification store desires.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • 300 dpi or more pixels and 72 dpi?

    Hi guys,.

    This is perhaps a silly question...

    When printing in quality is the same for a full-size image, let's say to the A4 at 300 dpi (21x30cm) or an image to the A2 (42 x 60 cm) format, which means more than an A4 four times but at 72 dpi?

    My question if I have enough pixels but the images is set to 72 dpi, if I can still get a good print quality. I read somewhere that it's better to put the image in the exact size, you will print the poster. Sometimes, I forget, but the original image has quality but is set to 72 dpi. I don't know if this is causing problems.

    Too confusing? haha

    Thank you

    The resolution for printing must be between 250 and 300 PPI (pixel per inch).

    An image that you want to print to say 5 x 7 inches would need about 1500 x 2100 pixels image size. If she needed to say 10 x 14 inches, should be about 3000 x 4200 pixels.

    If your original image is less than the example above and you want to zoom, you can do it in Photoshop, but it will soften the image. Using a bit of sharpening after interpolation will help a bit.

  • iPhone 6 DPI issue?

    All,

    I'm running Flash Builder 4.7 with Apache Flex 4.13 with AIR 15 build 328. I've added images of screen necessary launch iPhone 5, 6 and 6 +. After you have added the images of launch, Apple status bar appears correctly on the scale and is now white (it was black with the 15 elders of AIR SDK) but I am confused, why my application seems to evolve irregularly on the iPhone 6 but seems correct on my 5. I've included screenshots of the images launch that I use and what looks like my app on my iPhone 6. Any help/suggestions would be great!

    Thanks in advance,

    Jonathan

    (I've included a screenshot of what the current application looks like in the app store to show the question put on the current scale, that I have)

  • Confused about resolutions... again!

    I always thought that resolution in terms of pixels was / were absolute...

    That means, a 1600 x 1200 screen resolution was just that... 1600 x 1200 pixels.

    This is why was a bit confused when you run a tutorial on sensitive sites (adaptation of websites for mobile devices), brought the x linear measure resolution in the image... Meaning that he talked about iPhone being xxx pixels wide to xxx dpi... and in order to have a higher resolution.

    That makes no sense to me...

    I think that you would design for devices to:

    1 xxx pixels wide

    2 yyy pixels wide

    3 zzz pixels wide

    End of story... what difference does it make if a display devices are, say, 300 DPI from 72 dpi. As long as one takes care of pixels, it should make no difference. Or am I missing something?

    TIA

    S

    DPI (pixels per inch) and DPI (dots per inch) refers to the size (or density) of pixels or points, not the total number of dimensions of the screen. A 1440 X 900 screen is always 1440 pixels wide and 900 pixels high no matter if it's 96ppi or 300PPI. The difference is that at 300 PPI, 1440 pixels is just shy of 5 inches in diameter, while 96, it's a little more than 15 inches across.

    The retina display is 'high density' or the high rate of pixel in ppi. The advantage of this is that, when an iPhone user zooms in on a page or an image, it's much clearer. As far as goes design so that as phones advanced technologically, they will get all best graphics, and eventually it won't matter whether or not the sites are designed for them. iPhone and most of the Droid phones already resize web pages to fit. The difference is clear.

  • Can someone explain why a 72 dpi, which went to print looked great?

    Not sure if I should post this in Photoshop or InDesign forum.

    I'm working on bringing a book in InDesign that will be printed at one of these free publishing houses. I did a lot in the past. Then my friend I do a lot of work with a book on his own that has a photo to grayscale to a bomber B-24 on the lid. The image was of 72 dpi and the dimensions of the image were 52,389 "X 35,722". In InDesign, the image has been resized to about 7 inches wide. The book is back and the cover photo was beautiful. What is confusing to me, this is why the cover photo looked not all pixelated because he was of 72 dpi. Is it something about the picture that he was so great that it is a dimension, and then it has been scaled down? Can someone explain this somehow?

    Just a note: auto publication companies I beleave not print their books on an offset press. I think they use high range laser printers. But I could be wrong.

    Thank you

    How the effective resolution has become something of the order of 538.56 ppi (52.389/7 x 72). What the actual resolution of the image scale changes in proportion reverses with the scale factor. It's exactly the same thing as changing the width of the 7-inch image in Photoshop without resampling. No pixels change, you change just the size you choose to print.

  • (New slope on) Print at 1200 dpi inDesign CS5 for a Xerox color laser.

    I have print magazines to calendars and other things like that.

    If I use Photoshop CS3 ~ CS5 I can print a laser 600 dpi photo for my Xerox 1200 dpi Postscript 3 active and get very good aspect of the picture. Even better if I use an image of 1200 dpi in the first place, but when I use inDesign CS4 ~ CS5 I can't print to the Xerox what anyone more than 600 dpi. Sure I can place a picture of 1200 dpi in the document, but it still prints at a resolution that looks suspiciously at 300 dpi and 1200 dpi printing option is not available for me. I have filled the xerox to the capacity of RAM and a hard drive in there to store popular on documents.

    I explored several ways some Associates and posters on these forums have suggested, but I still can't the inDesign print quality I get from Photoshop (or also a program of popular layout of the Canada).

    The disturbing thing, that I have yet found the answer is:

    Printing presses commercial print at 2400 dpi. (let's not confuse the issue here, with lpi screens) inDesign is supposed to be a professional level program, you would think would be able to issue exit 2400dpi if commercial presses use this resolution. If this is the case... Can someone tell me please how inDesign output 2400 or even 1200 dpi?

    I tried the document as PDF distillation and utilization of pure postscript without result. If the printer did not accept images of 1200 dpi from Photoshop, I might be tempted to believe that it was a printer problem, but I am convinced, is not. I could say that I also have an old color laser Minolta (Postscript 3) too. The outcomes are of better quality than the Xerox, but at a huge cost of consumables. I also recognize that the Xerox is a laser LED and not choice ideal for image reproduction but still quite good enough (from Photoshop) for the work it does.

    Thanks in advance

    I'll save you some time here. The OS is Windows7 and XP Professional.

    A hint at the answer I needed was provided in the forum ID. I now know that default ID will be resample images at 300 or 600 dpi unless you specify to send all the data of the image. Then it will be indeed print at a resolution of 1200 dpi printer and produce photographic quality images that look like photographs.

    LED printers (as opposed to Laser printers) use the same technology as photo printers. I also have a LED head for my photo Durst enlarger. It prints at a resolution higher than the Xerox but even when I expand past that is the optimal size, (not true 1200 dpi) quality was better that I had since indesign and everything I got from 1200 ppp out of Photoshop.

    I knew that because I had read somewhere about the ID to send images of size that it could be done. I didn't realize that the statement would be so cryptic as an option of three letters 'all' in the print dialog. Maybe Adobe should participate in this in the next version update?

    Thanks anyway,

  • Save for web 72 dpi

    CS5 running on a 64-bit win 7 PC...

    When I use the option 'save for web' and select the 'include all the metadata information '.

    the recorded image (jpeg) isn't to 72 dpi, which is much better for the web, this is apparently the idea for our screens resolution.

    Instead it saves it at 300ppi

    (no please no debate on 72 dpi v's XXX ppi, there are enough posts on it).

    But if you disable metadata option 'include' then the image save as a jpg 72 dpi that I need.

    Someone has an answer to that.

    There is no reason why an image can be saved at 72 dpi and have metadata.

    Assumed that the entire function "save for web" is on the optimization of the image for this reason.

    This looks like a bug to me?

    so we're back to integrate adobe original, this feature for some reason, we all can edit, size of the image in PS, easy goto

    But adobe added this feature where you can choose "bi-cubique sharpness, etc etc...

    and that's why I want my metadata maintained in place and 72 DPI or 96 as stated above. That's why I always think it's a bug.

    I'm afraid you are confusing yourself and mixture of unrelated facts.

    PPI is unrelated to the web images. It is to be printed.

    A x 100px 100px image will appear on screen as 100 pixels of the image pixel x 100 image regardless of the screen resolution or image.

    Save for Web removes or retains metadata such as the copyright info, contact and camera to reduce the size of the file. That's all.

  • Confused about the new iPhone to load

    It seems that online, there are many variations on how to charge an iPhone the first times, we don't know what to believe.

    Historically, I charge my iPhone for a day the first time that I get it or after I got a refurb from Apple. My battery life has always been fantastic, representatives of engineering apply even told to say.

    This time, I couldn't wait to load the device as I normally would. I connected my iPhone to my PC, did a restore of backup and wait for the iPhone to be able to load completely (about 30 minutes).

    Given that I had a lot of things happens, I didn't have the opportunity to "condition" of the battery, charge of the day to the next, or as some reports say that I have to load it only via the provided OEM charger (not PC). Some say that your battery die completely and then get away after the phone two hours before recharging.

    All these 'new' information is downright confusing. And yet, I see Apple suggesting as a result a large part of these 'tips '.

    Any thoughts on pricing?

    There is no requirement to 'manage' load.

    Charge at any time, for any period of time.

    You can use the phone while charging.

    Don't deplete the battery at a low level.

    Another that these steps, no more measures need to be taken.

  • Why my photos are taken with the iPad Pro only 72 dpi?

    So I publish my own books in which I print A3 color photos... I want to use some of the pictures I took with my iPad 9.7 Pro. For all that it is supposed to be a good camera I do not see why my photos show that only 72 dpi...?  I need at least 300 dpi at print, could get away with 250 + and climb later in Photoshop, but 72 is horrible. What can I do?

    View the dimensions in pixels of your image, not the CIO.

    DPI is just a mathematical way to express the resolution. When you say "I need 300 dpi" is only half of the formula.

    300 dpi at what number of inches?

    An image that is 3000 pixels on the long side (wide) could be expressed as being...

    10 "wide @300 dpi (= 3000 pixels)

    5 "wide @ 600 dpi (= 3000 pixels)

    41.67 "wide @72 dpi. (= 3000 pixels)

    Actual size of the image remain the same. By default, Photoshop to express everything at 72 dpi.

  • export of raw to jpg in 300 dpi

    Salve,

    Di default 72 dpi my devo stampare e export file in a large formato da a provider.

    Grazie

    1. you cannot export a RAW JPEG - you export the original unmodified as a RAW or you export the current version to JPEG

    2. digital photos have a DPI field but it is meaningless - DPI is the result of a problem of Mathematics (points divided by inches) not a framework and anything that the calculation is always determined the DPI
