FYI- IBA 1.1 image resampling to account for retina display

To make the ibooks ipad 3 ready IBA 1.1 now down samples images to 264 ppi(instead of 132ppi)


Because the display in IBA is based on 132ppi the measurements you see in the inspector are half what the resampled image will be.


IBA will down sample to double what the measurement is in the inspector

and anything larger then 1024pt in the inspector (2048 actual size)will be down sampled to 2048


example: if you place an image that is 3000pix square on a page and use at original size

IBA will re-sample to 2048px x 2048px


if you scale that image so it says 1500pt x 1500pt in the inspector

IBA wil resample to 2048px x 2048px


Anything scaled to less the 1024pt in the inspector will be resampled by IBA at twice that.


So if you scale that image to 900pt x 900pt in the inspector

IBA will resample it to 1800px x 1800px


if your original image is less then twice the inspector measurements IBA does not resample.


ie original image is 600pix x 600pix and you scale it to 400pt x 400pt in the inspector, it will not be resampled.


also note IBA 1.1 now converts non transparent PGNs to JPGs

OK

if an image is set to go full screen


it saves both twice up.


one that is twice up what is on the page (this is the thumbnail used for on the page)


and one that is 2048 px wide (used for full screen)



test:


placed image that was 3700 pix wide


Set it to go full screen (added caption etc)


scaled to 397 pt wide on the page.


on export IBA creates a full screen 2048 pix wide image

and a 794 px wide thumbnail


(plus a few other smaller images)

Right. What I have been investigating is making the photograph the maximum size to begin with so iBA does less work and I (the photographer) has more control of the image. - Fabe


P.S. I am enjoying the work we are doing. I hope you and others are too.

tested a Gallery widget,

it makes the full screen 2048 px w image

and the 100 px square thumbnail that goes under the gallery

But it does not make a version that is twice up what is on the page. it must make this on the fly from the full screen verision.



any thing above 2048 either w or h, IBA will resample


if you want to keep control over the downsampling but still have hi res photo for retina ipad.

down sample your images to exactly twice up or lower. if it is one pix over IBA will down sample it.


IBA will always recompress the jpg (sometimes at a higher file size)


my original file was 20k 500px wide


IBA export was 33k 500px wide


so image was not down sampled but was recompressed

(and image appeared slighlty lighter)
