I know the output image size requirement is 1440 pixels by 810 pixels #72 dpi.
Problem incurred lots of software and services lock the 16x9 ratio but do not output a standard size.
I want to beable to have the cutting box to zoom in and the cropped image to always be 1440x810#72dpi.
And a feature to move coping box around in the original image would be a nice feature. I just need a working solution that is free temporarily.
Script requires upload of a high quality image and 16x9 cropping box appears over image to crop features out of image and hitting crop would set the box default to 1440x810 so definite cropping box restriction to stop when maximum threshold of conversion is met to not pixelate the output produced image.
Appreciate all the help I can get. Have a wonderful day.
I am in the process of using my android phone and a public computer hence free online service. Normally I would use my photos hope cs6 version but that is not currently available.
I will continue searching but it's like finding a needle in the haystack.
I am hoping another expert has already knows a solution.

How do I convert Adobe Photoshop points to pixels in CSS?
My font size is 48pt, how does that convert to pixels?
Also, are there tools that help convert photoshop psds into CSS/Html?
You can use points to declare the size of your text in css if you like, there's no need to convert. That way if your photoshop file is set up for 72ppi, you see the same size of font in both photoshop and web.
If you building mobile thou, sizes work differently. Than the best thing is to look for a guide, depending on which devices you're building for.
I believe there isn't a tool to convert photoshop pds into css/html. Although, Zeplin may helps. Zeplin is a tool to easily export assets and make guidelines for projects, but it also helps you create a css file from your screen. https://zeplin.io/ It's really nice!
If your Photoshop document is 72pixels per inch (the standard of the web). 1px = pt.
OSX renders 72 ppi (dpi), windows renders bitmaps at 96 ppi (dpi). Knowing the 72ppi or 96ppi numbers can help you work out what's going on.
Photoshop will alter the Text Point size depending on what the image ppi is set to.
However, with today's high pixel density displays the whole dpi to ppi is something of a fudge. Wikipedia has a good, but dated, article on pixels (screens) vs dots (print)

I am looking for a way to measure the coordinates of different rectangles on a PDF file?
Mainly I do have to perform some overprinting on an existing PDF and I need to know the x,y,w,h on where I am supposed to write the texts.
It seems that Preview.app on Mac has this ability but so far I wasn't able to find anything on Windows that does the same.
Please do not confuse this feature with the Measuring Tools from Adobe Reader which are used to measure distance in printed construction stuff, not the PDF page itself.
It seems that the default using of measure is point, so I need something that would allow to select a rectangle and that will tell me the coordinates.
Please do not suggest on exporting as a imagine and using something else to measure the pixels on the image.
Update: http://legacy.activepdf.com/support/knowledgebase/view.cfm?tk=rl&kb=11866 -- PDF Units, that's what I am looking for, something to measure the PDF coordinates in PDF units.
Disclaimer: I work for Atalasoft.
I know you said not to suggest this, but honestly, it's the easiest approach:
If you mean "sweep out a rectangle in the UI and report the coordinates", that's pretty straight forward, but it's going to be a build-your-own type of thing. What you will need are:
A PDF rasterizer (GhostScript, Acrobat, FoxIt, Atalasoft) to get you an image at a specific resolution.
A tool to display that image in a window and let you sweep out a rectangle (this is straight forward winforms type code for .NET, but we have a control that does this out of the box - combining 1 & 2 into one step).
A tool that can look at the structure of a PDF page and report back the crop box (if any) and the media box for each page (iText, DotPdf).
A tool/understanding of matrix transformations to build the matrix that goes from display space into PDF space (and/or vice versa, probably in iText, definitely in DotPdf)
The code flow becomes something like:
For each page:
Open document, pull out crop and media box, rasterize page, build transformation matrix.
Display image, build/hook into event for selection changing.
Push the image viewer rectangle coordinates through the transformation matrix.
Profit.
From a coding point of view (assuming 0 prior knowledge of this, but a decent understanding of linear algebra), from 3 days to a 2 weeks. If I were to write it, it would probably take on the order of a few hours, but I wrote most of our PDF tools and this is pretty easy.
If your goal is to intuit where rectangles are on the page and report back those coordinates, that's also doable, but it decidedly non-trivial in comparison. You need to write code that can rip through a PDF display list and interpret the contents correctly. That means being able to handle all the cumulative matrix transformations, the graphics state changes, the gstate object use, Form XObject placement, and so on. You need to answer the question "what is a rectangle?" because in PDF placement, it could be an re operator, a set of degenerate beziers, a set of lines, an image of a rectangle or (surprise!) a combination of all of the above. Honestly, intuiting anything about the content on a PDF page is a Herculean task.
On the following picture I am trying to reduce too brightness and lighting effect on the girl's face in Adobe Photoshop. I tried almost all options in Photoshop from top navigation > Image > Adjustment > but not able to reduced the highlights/lighting effect. Please guide or give me any tutorial that help me to do so.
Your image does not consist information in highlight zone. Very poor dinamic range of your camera(is this phone?). If you want edit photo for future, you will get shots in raw and looking for override higlight zone before shooting.
Taking the step to reduce over exposure before editing is an option, however what you can do is go to the filters tab. Next, you are going to want to select liquefy. This tool can detect facial features and help you make specific changes to the face. Good luck! I actually went in and fixed it using the curves tool which is also an adjustment. Lastly I made her face matte to hide the shine.

I used Word 2007 to create a PDF file with an 1526px * 900px image filling a whole page. This is not the first time it's happened, but Google Docs PDF viewer absolutely mangles the colour rendering making it unusable.
I've taken screenshots at the same zoom level in Google Docs viewer and Foxit Reader.
Here's an image for comparison:
It's awful! I've tried messing about with some things, but can't find anything that can correct this issue.
In Chrome you can select "Print" and then "Save as PDF". The image quality in the saved PDF file will go up significantly, compared to the one from "Download as PDF". Google seems to be optimizing images to preserve bandwidth.
Let it be recorded here, 16 months after the present original posting by Turkeyphant and a similar posting [1] on the Docs+Drive product forum, that the problem appears to have been fixed within about the past week. Since that time, when a pdf (or Word) file is opened that resides on the Docs+Drive cloud, the file is rendered with what appears to be proper 24-bit color. The treatment whereby the color was reduced to 5 bits, which could encode 32 colors or 32 shades of gray or 16 of each, depending on the image, has been abandoned.
To the best of my knowledge the Docs+Drive staff have not announced this change, either on their Blog or on their product forum. I noticed the change a few days ago and noted it on the conversation [1].
[1] (2013-05-21) Problem in pdf-viewer with color images
https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/docs/_bdfiYgjF2s/5PDMdp9MhFQJ
It might have something to do with compression of the image in the PDF.
I mean, PDF supports JPEG2000-encoded images (JPXDecode Filter) and PDF Reference states that:
From a single JPEG2000 data stream, multiple versions of an image may
be decoded. These different versions form progressions along four
degrees of freedom: sampling resolution, color depth, band, and
location. For example, with a resolution progression, a thumbnail
version of the image may be decoded from the data, followed by a
sequence of other versions of the image, each with approximately four
times as many samples (twice the width times twice the height) as the
previous one. The last version is the full-resolution image.
Google Docs viewer might be displaying only first version of the image (with lower resolution or lower color depth) thus producing "awful" output.
Perhaps the attached pair of images will help towards clarifying what is happening with color in images that are rendered through the Google Docs pdf viewer. I inserted the Wikipedia image RGB_Color_Solid_Cube (1024*1024 pixels) into an otherwise empty Google Docs text document, converted it to pdf, and viewed the resulting pdf files two ways: once through the Google Docs+Drive pdf viewer and once through the regular pdf viewer of the Chrome or Firefox browser. Then I made screenshots. Here is the RGB Color Cube via the Docs PDF Viewer and here is the RGB Color Cube via a regular browser PDF Viewer.
The color resolution in the Docs PDF Viewer version is really awful; it looks like 64 colors at most. Maybe someone else is able to recognize this kind of rendering and identify the problem better.
This is related to compression and it's something that you can't change in the default view of Google Docs Viewer. The simple solution is to upload the PDF and just serve it from the site in an iFrame. Here is an example:

Does anyone know if we can resize a QR-Code easily by using a proper vector program OR, is the size information contained on that code, hence, we will not be able to resize without changing the code ?
Thanks in advance.
You can resize as much as you want. The information is encoded in the pattern of the data, not in the size of the dots themselves. As long as a scanner can resolve properly between light/dark, the QR code should be readable at any size.
Update 2016: If someone happens to need to upscale a QR code image in some sort of browser/webview - you might get away with a simple CSS property:
img {
image-rendering: pixelated;
}
This way the upscaled image stays sharp.
See a comparison here: http://codepen.io/erkkit/pen/GodxGX
For high resolution (vector image) QR code for printing/publishing:
Get your free QR code
Right-click-and-save OR PrintScreen the QR code
Open/insert it in Photoshop, crop the QR code, and save as *.psd file (default Photoshop format)
Open that *.psd file with Adobe Illustrator – and you get the vector QR code. DONE! :)
Don't just re-size it that will make the edges blurry. You want it to have hard edges like MS-paint or the pencil brush in Photoshop. Open the file in Photoshop and go to IMAGE - RE-SIZE IMAGE and make sure Nearest Neighbor is selecting from the bottom drop down menu before you click OK
You CAN'T, not with the free QR generators. Unless you do some Adobe Illustrator tweaks with Live Trace/Paint afterwards. The abundant free QR generators are a joke when it comes to publishing the QR code you need. Resizing an originally low resolution image (the previous comment) for publishing/printing purposes is the most rediculous statement I've seen in a while. The guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
