Windows 10 HIGH DEF PHOTOS

[NettleWarbler]

Hello , can somebody please give me some help or advice on how to make High Definaion photo's . A website i use for movie covers , usually has movie fronts in JPG fomat 4.61 MB one 5.41 MB and i think one cover was over 6 MB . Mine ( i take a photo using the snipping tool ) are usually about 102 kb sometimes 63.6 kb or 70.9 kb . Which isn't too good when the image is printed . So any help on making better quality photos and pictures would be very much appreciated . Thank you .

Save the photo and use paint to reduce the size by pixel.
Right click on the photo / then save as

lordnikoncanon , don't I want to increase the pixel size ? .

 

[Neemobeer]

Yes you would want to increase the pixel count or if the option is available increase the DPI of the picture.

Neemobeer , I have used paint to reduce the size of an image before , that's paint located in windows accessories . I noticed paint 3D half way down my programmes ( I was looking for paint to see if I could open it that way ), until now I had never seen or used paint 3D before . I managed to find resize and loaded an image . What was a 102kb image is now 11.1MB I increased the size the pixels by 6000 square so it can be done . I was trying to upload the file but it says The uploaded file is too large for the server to process.

You'll just need to make sure it's under the upload limit on the site. I would also determine which image format it's being saved in. Different formats will vary considerably in size.

Neemobeer , The original format was JPG its now PNG . I will have a bit more time later , to try and sort something out .

Hi

Don't use the snipping tool to capture the image, no matter what you do the image will only be at your screen resolution, i.e. 72, or 96 pixels per inch or worse. If you are only capturing part of the screen it will look even worse when blown up.

Find the photo by searching for it online and then save the image as a file, (right click on it and select Save As) and look for an image that is at a high resolution.

For example 2000 by 2000 pixel size or larger for a record album size. Avoid images that are small like 500 by 800 pixels there's no way to increase the quality. It should show the size of the image under the picture on the screen.

Do your Search and then click on Images at the top of the browser screen to see only images of you search.

If you want to increase the size of an image without getting the pixelation that makes it look all blocky, use Photoshop and using Image Size you can enlarge the image selecting Resample Image Bicubic.

The image will get larger without the pixels getting bigger, this won't make the image look sharper but you won't see the pixels.

If you want an image smaller without losing the detail you can do the reverse.

Reduce the size of the image and increase the resolution so that the image stays sharp, it will appear on screen the same either way at the same size you are always going to see it onscreen at the native resolution.

But if you zoom in on the high resolution image it will look much sharper.

I was able to find a high quality image of a Morgan Plus Four in just a few seconds.

MikeHawthorne , I manged to get a cover to 5.80MB it did print . The cover was done using RonyaSoft CD DVD Label Maker , and Paint . ( if saved in PNG format it was a lot higher ) the image size is 10209x5575 . Its normally 3240x2175 I tried saving my image to that size using Paint and it ended up as 1.25MB . But using UnderCover10 it does print , it ain't the best Blu-ray cover ever but it's better than nowt . On the cover site they (super-impose I think it's called where they have people standing side by side and merging together that's what i'd like to be able to do .)

 

[MikeHawthorne]

A 10209 by 5575 image should be 162.8 Megabytes, (I just checked the one you posted and that's how big it is).
The size shows as 34" by 18" at 300 ppi.

I would make it 12 by 22 at 300 ppi which would make it 68 Megabytes and save it in .tiff format using Zip compression which would make it 18.5 Megabytes final size.

Or: this image is saved at that size but as a .jpg file and is 6.92 Megabytes, which is fine for online.
I extended the right hand image so that it reaches the bottom of the cover, it was slightly short.

Stick with either .tiff (no image quality loss) this used to be the universal format for commercial printers.
or .jpg (some image quality loss every time it's resized and saved) file format pretty much standard for online.

MikeHawthorne ,
I was able to find a high quality image of a Morgan Plus Four in just a few seconds. But I couldn't find a High Def image of
House 2 The Second Story the best I got was
The untitled.png one is what meant about super-imposing ( if that's what its called ).

 

[ussnorway]

one option is to take the same image 3 times at normal exposer, under exposed and over exposed... you then blend these together for a HDR (High-dynamic-range) image which looks 'real' to the human eye

its used in landscapes a lot but any image you want to make some part POP will work and you can make them in many different softwares... I use | show people how to make them in Adobe Bridge because that has the raw converter and a web sidesshow maker built in + Bridge is free

p.s, a highdef jpeg is an oxymoron

 

[NettleWarbler]

That's done using paint , I used it to increase the size of my KES Blu-ray cover and with UnderCover10 it printed ok on my printer .

I prefer to work with the sites because there is no need to install any programs on my computer. I do know some resources which are specialised in it. One of them is called Icons8. It's a very easy to use. I use it when I want to fix blurry images. And recently, I wanted to find a site which is good at increasing image resolution. This function is also available at Icons, but I decided to find something new. And my friend suggested me AI Image Enlarger | Enlarge Image Without Losing Quality! to use this resource. Have you ever heard about it? I think I am going to test in a few minutes...

HD is any 1280x720 or larger image. Photos taken with a hi-res camera will look better and make larger files because they have more pixels.

A 1280x720 image is 0.9 megapixels, 1920x1080 is 2 megapixels. My phone's camera is 5312x2988, that's 16 megapixels and roughly 5 megabytes.

The snipping tool is only capturing a fraction of your desktop resolution, usually 1920x1080 on modern displays. Artificially increasing the resolution of any image will degrade the quality, but some programs are better than others at scaling, like Paint.net and GIMP, which are free, btw. If you just want to save images from the web, you can usually right-click an image and click "Save [Image] As..." to save an exact copy of the source image. TIFF is the best common format for quality, but files are very large. PNG is a common web format usually used for very small graphics in web pages and Android UI graphics, but still great for high quality photos and smaller file size than TIFF. JPG was made to use as little bandwidth as possible over any network, so it has the smallest file size but the lowest quality, too. Also note that saving from low quality to high quality formats has no benefit; only downgrade image formats, e.g. TIFF > PNG > JPG.
