Why are my smaller placed images that I expect?

I am designing a game of cards bridge-size for printerstudio.com in InDesign, and will be given merge in images of a worksheet.  I have 128 photos in photoshop for the Basemaps which are defined in pixels exactly 1122 x 747, the metadata says 300 DPI.

I create a new document in InDesign and have set the size of the document to 1050 x 675 pixels with a 36 pixel bleed and margin 36 pixel, which puts the total size more bleed to 1122 x 747, which is what I want.  I also tried the same values, except as points.

When the image of places, it is much smaller than I expect, and well as info link, the properties of the image are 1122 x 747, real and effective 300 PPI, when I measure on the page that it is said that it is 269.28 x 179,28 pt or px, according to what I have to change the preference.  However, if I measure in inches, this is the correct 3.75 by 2.5 nominal without bleeding.

So obviously the document assumes a 72 dots per inch of resolution and 1 pixel = 1 point, instead of the 300 pixels per inch, I want to be, and it changes the size of image pixel to match the correct size of real thumb.

I found that I can work this around by setting my document to 3.75 x 2.5 inches, which makes some sense, but I cannot wrap the head around why it behave the way which it doesn't.

So, why is a document of 1122 pixels x 747 pixels size actually a document of 269,28 pixels 179,28 pixels?  I want just a canvas 1122 x 747 pixels which is completely filled by a picture of pixel 1122 x 747 placed.  Why is it so difficult?

When you select pixels of your unit, ID maps to a rule unit equal to 1 pt, so your leaders are 72 dpi.

When you pass, if you save the image at 300 dpi, it also includes a physical dimension which is the number of pixels divided by the resolution. ID reads this physical dimension and use it as a scale of 100%, so your image seems to have been scaled down, but it's the same pixels, crammed into a small space. Scaling upwards or downwards in ID has no effect Watt on information in pixels in the image.

Pixels have no physical size. If you print your picture on a balloon, you can jump to the top very great, and the number of pixels of the image does not change. Similarly, resolution has no meaning until you put an image in physical form. As jump you the ball the pixels of the image even change resolution in inverse ratio to the amount of expansion. ID works in the physical world. Your pages have 'real' dimensions and you you size content to fit these dimensions as you want.

  • Why are Photos filled with images when I use it?

    I went looking for why my MacBook Pro SSD that was is so full and discovered a "photo library" which was 20 GB!  I use LR off external storage and do not use Photos, so why now has 20 GB of my iPhone in pictures?

    I do not have "iCloud library" for one of my Apple devices.  I only use 'My Photo Stream' and sometimes 'iCloud Photo Sharing' (less than 300 shared images here.)

    When you select 'My Photo Stream' in the Photos, it shows that 414 images even if my iPhone and iPad have both show the limit of 1000.  When you select all THE pictures, there are almost 8 000 images and videos here that I have never imported.

    WHY?

    How can I STOP doing this?

    Thank you

    Photo stream and iCloud photo sharing do not use your iCloud space.

    Where are told that you have used the 20 GB.

    What do you see to iCloud.com > Photos. in your browser.

  • With the new updates my links are not working and images that extends

    You can see the looks of fine design window and the preview has problems, it replaces the file with the other images.  More links have stopped working in some cases, I try and connect to them but it still does not work. When I have that I re-related and re updated the images but the random problem continues to be. Very relative and become costly problems, please help with suggestions.  I already had the stretched images came from time to time but now it's a huge problem.  I can't update my content and my users are getting bored.  Please help or let me know how I can change back to the previous version.   Thank you.

    I met the problem with stretched images.

    I solved it by ensuring that the images that I am importing have the value 'Size' original in the fitting.

    (I had to check my "Scale to fit" images in the box, I had images larger then the size of the final box)

    Just go back and do your images are sized to the width of the boxes horizontlly.

    Stats from the image below:

    Box size = 125 X 185 h l

    Image size = 125 X 125 w w

    Mounting = original size

  • Why are my content > load images-> Exceptions unsaved settings?

    I called some sites as exceptions under content > load images automatically. The next time I open Firefox, these exceptions are not there.
    This also happens in privacy > cookies. The exceptions that I put to disappear the next time I open Firefox.
    How can I make these permanent exceptions?

    In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

    • do not delete Site preferences

    Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

    You can control and manage permissions for all areas on the Subject: authorizations page or for the current domain via the "Site identity button" (globe/lock) on the address bar and click on "More information" to open "Page Info" and go to the permissions tab.

    You can delete the permissions.sqlite to reset all the permissions.

  • Why are all my background images move?

    I don't know how to explain it, but if you look at my site http://www.tlmgoldman.com/index.html and you press a link in the menu spry you see something moving. Ive checked the images are the same size. Can you help me to explain what I can do to stop this?

    Kind regards Brian

    Zodiac,

    As noted already, the background is not mobile.  It's just that you have a vertical scroll bar appearing on the pages of some but not all.  To resolve this problem, add the following to your stylesheet CSS code:

    / * Add the vertical scroll bar to all pages * /.

    HTML, body {height: 100.2%; margin-bottom: 1px}

  • On facebookk in FF, why are there so many buttons that simply will not do anything?

    No error message is displayed. And there are no problems when you use IE.

    This seems odd. Facebook is the only site that I'm having a problem when using Firefox. Here is an example of what does not work.

    I click on the facebook button '+ 1 Add a friend' and nothing happens

    But if I do the same when in Internet Explorer, the box turns into a box that says: 'friend a request sent' (or something close to that.)

    Another example is cat-clicking will bring up a list of people online in Internet Explorer, and I can start a conversation.

    In FF, nothing happens at all. I don't not even a glow of my screen.

  • WMP has a VERY small video image that will NOT grow everything.

    A few months ago my WMP was not and is still not functioning. I deleted all versions of WMP, until I had the original that came with my computer (WMP5 or 6, not sure). I reloaded my operating system twice. I deleted, reinstalled, downloaded the latest and best several times. I still can't WMP to play a video properly. Even when I set the video size to "Fit screen" or "200%" video is still about 1/10 the size of the screen. To 100% normal size is about 1/20 the size of the screen. The video image WILL NOT grow anything.
    What should I do to get this corrected?

    Hi shanevj,

    You can try to download the file and save it to a location, and then try to play the video.

    Step 1:

    You can try to play the video in full screen and check.

    a. open Windows media player, and then click view

    b. Select full screen and check.

    Also read the following article:

    Windows Media Player10 refuses to enter full screen mode

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555475/en-us

    Step 2:

    You can also download the latest codecs for the media player in Windows XP

    You can use your favorite search engine to download and install the third-party codecs for windows media player.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Why Acer does not sell things that they expect to be the bricks in less than 2 years?

    Didn't know where to post this, because it effects all buyers, but I chose because the 3 laptops I bought here are all v series

    I like to keep good records and I have a file with all my info purchase inside but I can't include a link to one of my products because Acer keep active links for a long time. There is no reason why they can't keep a static page where the URL is a model number... This isn't as they need this URL to another model.

    Works great:

    http://www.Acer.com/AC/en/CA/content/model/NX.MUUAA.001

    Acer assumes that your laptop is more questions:

    http://www.Acer.com/AC/en/us/content/model/NX.M7QAA.004

    Given the lack of documentation they provide on the modernization of their systems to the SSD, etc... maybe I should go with another company anyway.

    It was not hard to find.  NX. M7QAA.004 = V3 - 771 G-53238G75Makk

    http://www.PCWorld.com/product/1274653/Acer-Aspire-v3-771g-53238g75makk-notebook.html

    The page you referred to is a sales page. The first link is a model still available for sale. The second link is a laptop is no longer available.

    It's like saying, why no Chevy retain sales literature on 57 Chevys.

    Is upgrading to SSD and max memory what you want to do? Give me a model number.

  • Bridge CS4 image previews are too small

    In Bridge CS4, can't do the preview images to show something larger than a large thumbnail view, see the image below.  I tried all the preferences in the Edit menu (miniatures for example: do not treat more game to 10 000 MB files, cache options are keep 100% previews in cache export checked/automatically cache files when the size slider possible checked / cache is set to 50%, rendering software saw size of monitor checked/unchecked/generate checked).  None of these options change anything for the size of the preview image.  I have a XOC DX10.1 ATI Radeon HD4890 1 GB, so my video card is not the issue.  I am running Windows 7 Ult x 64 on ASUS P8P67 Deluxe with 16 GB of RAM and over 2 TB of HARD drive space. So my system should not be a problem either.  Here are examples of work images that have been installed with Illustrator cs4.  How can I increase the size of these images?

    Also, these images are showing everything in the image of the AI, not individual images in each file.  How to show individual images in each file HAVE as if they were separate pictures, like Illustrator?

    bridge.jpg

    I don't know anything about the .ai or Illustrator files.  But I think would be it has something to do with how IIlustarator saves the file.  Look to see if there are other options.  As can a test you convert the .ai to another form and see the evolution of the size of the thumbnails?

    You might ask this question in the Illustrator forum too.

    Why, when I send an email using windows mail (RoadRunner ISP) sometimes it does not transmit the image that are in the original.

    Some messages are not complying with the standards of the Internet and the images do not show before their delivery.  You can overcome this by transmitting the message as an attachment instead, and then the images will be intact.

  • Advantage of ink HP deskjet 1515: why does my printer print fonts that are so small even read?

    So I bought this printer about 3 months ago and everything went smoothly... But last night when I tried to print a slide power point, it prints all of a sudden the texts which are so small... In fact I put it for 4 days by sheet until I print it, but then when I print, everything was compressed into 1 A4 paper... As I can't do anything... I tried to print other documents from ms word, but also have the same problem.

    @Adeanna

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    If I understand the question, then the problem MIGHT be that "Scale to fit" may be active and should be DISABLED on preview before printing.

    The back button often responds with a drop down menu of the story rather than simply go back to the previous page. There used to be a small arrow for that, why did you do that?

    When I left click on the back instead of the browser navigation back button, I go almost every time to get the list of previous browsing history or it will just doing nothing until I click on the new button. The history of combination of button "return" rather than a separate between the historical click of the buttons box is the problem. Combined with my arthritic fingers of aging that is. If I was as fast as I used to be I guess it wouldn't be a problem. I liked the separate history area. This action combination navigation / buttons story scenario is problematic. I'm fairly certain that if I find it quite disturbing to bring to your attention that there are others (old beards) in the same boat I am.
