The main difference in image quality between 72dpi and 300dpi is the level of detail and sharpness. Images at 300dpi have a higher resolution and appear clearer and more detailed compared to images at 72dpi, which may appear pixelated or blurry when viewed at a larger size.

What resolution do you use for printing in Photoshop?

72 is the is required if you have clients that like to be exact for font size, for example. If my resolution is 100 than my 72 px text will change to 100 px text. Hope this helped


What is the image resolution of screen based images?

The screen based images should have the same resolution as the screen - usually about 72dpi.


In Photoshop CS3 you have an image that is 500 x 600 pixels the image is a photo of a person you are trying to crop the face and make it 25 x 25 pixels how do you do this?

Use the crop tool. After selecting the Crop Tool, set your desired dimensions in the Width and Height boxes at the top of the screen. (Enter 25 px in each box). The Resolution also needs to be set dependent on what you intend to use the photo for after cropping. Printing or email/website usage. Printing requires a higher resolution (300dpi) while email/websites don't (72dpi).


How many pixels in 3.5 centimeter?

It depends on how many pixels the camera manufacturer cram into the sensor.


How big is a picture 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels?

It will depend on the dpi of the picture. Dpi is the amount of pixels per square inch. Lets say you have a 4x6 image with a resolution of 200dpi. To find the pixels we multiply the dpi by the inches 4" x 200dpi = 800pixels for your height 6" x 200dpi = 1200pixels for your length a 1200pixel x 1200pixel would be 6"x6" when converted. web images have a resolution of 72dpi. High res images can be 300dpi I hope you find this helpful, it made me sad to see this question unanswered :)


How do you convert 72dpi to 400dpi without losing quality of an image?

Turn off Resample Image in Image Size dialog in Photoshop. This will freeze pixels in your image so you will work with existing pixels, and will not ruine details (pixelate) but physical width and height of image will change and you will have 6 time smaller image, for example before 20 x 20 inches will change to 4 x 4 or something like that.


How can you change PDF 72 dpi to PDF 300 dpi?

I think what you mean is to change the resolution of the PDF files? 'Cause I found this : "e.g. a 300 dpi printer has "pixels" that are 1/300 inches in size, while a 72dpi monitor has 1/72 inch sized pixels. A 100x100@72dpi image on a monitor would have to be printed out at about 417x417 printer pixels to have the same apparent size (300/72 = 4.16666)" So if it does, here is the solution: In Adobe Acrobat, "Edit > Preferences > Convert to PDF", choose the file you want to change, select "Adobe PDF Settings > Editing > Standard" and then Edit again to change the resolution. May this will do some help.


What circumstance would you use a large resolution in photoshop?

Any time you want to reproduce (print) an image it would be a good idea to use a high resolution file. Have you ever tried to print out an image that is off the internet? Most of those images are only 72dpi. They look fine on your monitor where your eye fills in the bumpy parts, but just try printing them out at least 6 inches wide and... yuck!


Which measurement does Photoshop CS2 use to define the resolution of an image?

The tool is "Image Size tool". It allows you to set pixel size printed document size as well. For web images, if you're going to optimize the image for export to a different format (e.g., PSD to JPG) then the resolution option is presented as a separate window during the optimize export function. The following is for the Windows version of Photoshop. 1. Open your file into Photoshop. 2. On the menu bar, go to Image - Image Size. (or use Alt+Ctrl+I) 3. The top setting is the image size in pixels, cm, inches, etc. Preferences can be set in the Preferences function (Edit/Preferences) 4. Note the Resolution setting - this is how you change the resolution. 5. Make sure when you change size settings that Constrain Proportions is checked so that any adjustment you make in Width will automatically be adjusted proportionally to Height setting. However, you must note that any image that is of a low resolution to begin with cannot be changed to a higher resolution without some loss of quality. It is always desired to have a higher resolution (300dpi minimum) for editing, and then export/save into the desired image format at the lower resolution needed, e.g., 72dpi or 150 for the web depending on the file content.


Is there anyway you can increase the size of a photo without disturbing its quality?

Answer: In digital photography, the cameras have certain resolution sizes for the pictures you take. I always choose the largest for that very same reason. Lower sizes will be disrupted of its quality when enlarged specially if you want to put them on paper and enlarged. So the best way to enlarge a photo is to shoot the photograph in its higher resolution and size. Answer:Not really, but if you want a big print from a small photo some programs have an effect that will add extra pixels so you can print it larger, I think it was a "Gaussian Blur" or something like that. Haven't used this in a while so I'll flag my answer from improvement. Gaussian Blur is used to soften an image and remove "fuzzies" that may occur when scanning photos with varying finishes. It is used to "soften the edges" between contrasting subjects of an image, such as a blue ball on a tan blanket. It does tend to make images "look" better, but that is ruled by perspective. - LessZoaPhoto manipulation programs (such as GIMP or Photoshop) can make images larger, however you will lose quality no matter what you do. Everything depends upon the original image being enlarged. A digital camera's image is saved by using JPEG compression, already losing valuable image data. Setting your camera to the highest possible resolution does help - but photographers and image manipulators should realize the compression is already lowering quality. If feasible, saving images as RAW or LAB (some high end cameras do this) will save as much image data as possible.As the image is "blown up", the original pixels are separated, leaving gaps. The program then adds new pixels in those gaps, gradiating them between the original colors (similar to a blur). This is why when you "blow up" a picture it starts to look fuzzy, even pixelated. Image quality can be then improved by using various filters of the program such as Sharpen or Enhance and sometimes Gaussien Blur (along with adjustments to Contrast and Brightness); however, there is no fixed science to this. Some image specialists feel comfortable enlarging 10 to 15 percent, others will go as high as 25%. Then again more will flat out refuse to enlarge any image under 150dpi. Image quality always degrades upon each save. Always remember to keep your original image, and check the specifications required for your output.When enlarging an image, several factors must be thought of... * Final output resolution (dpi:100% size) * ** Internet viewing is 72dpi, some use 75dpi** Newspaper print is comfortable with 85dpi ** Magazine images should be no less than 150dpi (and even these can look bad) ** Posters (up to 36"x36") can put out decent quality at 300dpi * Try to keep your dpi to 100% of your output size * If final output is for large format (ie. billboards, outside advertising, etc.) ensure your RIP software can manipulate your image. * ** Images should be saved as EPS for large formats as RIP units are made to process these* Remember, the closer the image is being viewed (in print) the higher resolutions reproduce better. * Consider the type of printing you are outputting to: * ** Offset, 4-color printing requires better defined images ** Sheet-fed printing up to 2 colors can deal with lower-quality images ** Web printing (not internet) with 6-color presses can deal with lower-quality images as there is more "dot" that bleeds into the paper - however they tend to blur a bit more


What is Open Press Interface OPI software?

Let me start out by saying you probably don't need it, and it's really expensive--probably $5000 for the OPI server plus another few thousand for the computer that runs it. Open Prepress Interface is a system for managing enormous graphics embedded in page layouts. It is an "open" version of Scitex's proprietary Automatic Picture Replacement, or APR, package. Why it exists is that graphics in print have always been huge, and computers used to be very slow. As an example, you might be working on a clothing catalog. On a two-page spread, there might be twenty pictures--and all of them will be multiple megabytes in length. (In print we don't do 72dpi anything. I prefer a 350dpi image, and most people run 300dpi images.) When you place these massive images on a Quark page, they're hard to work with; they are slow to move, slow to draw, slow to print, and they bulk up your files dramatically. So if you could do all your designs with low-resolution pictures, but print with high-resolution ones, your life would be changed for the better. This is what APR and OPI do. When you save the high-res images, a special tag is embedded into them and a low-res preview image is generated alongside it. You can place these low-res files in your layouts. You then place the high-res images on a fileserver. When you print, you print to the fileserver. It sees the preview images' tags and swaps in the high-res files. This is a nice technology that really only makes sense to have if you own some serious graphics iron.


Scanner?

Choosing the appropriate scanner for home or office use is often a daunting task, based on the lack of consumer experience, and the absence of consistent industry standards necessary for comparing products from numerous manufacturers. However, there are several generic visual and technical categories that are useful when making a selection. Bit depth is a computer graphics term often used to describe the number of bits used to define a single color in particular pixel. A scanner that possesses a higher bit depth rating is able to generate and store a greater number of colors and distinct graduations on a per bit basis. In layman�s terms, a higher bit depth rating directly translates into a greater amount of color differentiation a particular scanner is able to identify and record about a particular image. A higher bit depth rating will allow a scanner to detect minute imperfections and defects, as well as hue and shade differences. A closely related term is the true resolution of an individual scanner. While bit depth refers to the amount of colors and color differentiation a scanner can detect, true resolution is the amount of detail a scanner is capable of capturing, usually on a per inch basis. This rating is often referred to as dots per inch, or simply dpi. Most monitors display images at a rate of 72dpi to give an accurate base line regarding average image quality. The mitigating factor regarding both bit depth and resolution often boils down to file size and intended image use. As each visual factor is increased, there is a subsequent increase in the overall size of the file as which the image is stored. High quality images require a greater amount of space to be stored, and at a specific quality, become unwieldy and logistically illogical to transfer electronically. Additionally, many consumers lack the appropriate hardware necessary to display an arbitrarily high quality image sufficiently to distinguish it from a lower quality image.
