While importing a .png file in Flash CS3, i noticed that it automatically gets resized. It gets imported smaller than its original size. Im importing it to the stage and not inside any symbol. Can anyone explain why this happens? Do i have to change any settings to get the original size as it is?
this is happening because the resolution of your png is greater than 72.
you can verify the resolution of your image in photoshop by going to the menu bar and image-->image size-->resolution.
change the resolution to 72, and make sure 'resample image' is unchecked. That is, you want to maintain the pixel dimensions of your image while downsizing the resolution.
Flash is thinking you've brought in something at 72 (as that's all it understands) and thus is rescaling it on the fly.
You mean just file-> import in Flash? Or programmatically importing it?
The first question doesn't belong on SO. For the second question we need more information to be able to help you.

I have created a Netlogo program in which I imported cars using following code:
import-drawing "F:\\BMW.png"
It imports the image as background and stretches the image in whole screen. I want to resize it, but cannot do it using set size 2 as its used for resizing of built in shapes (as far as I know). Can someone please guide me how can I resize my PNG image and also set it to a specific coordinates (say 0,14).
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
It won't change anything for how your model works, so you can just use:
set-patch-size XXX
If you dont want to guess at what patch size you want, you can just drag the size smaller until it's about the size you want, then click on info for GUI and it will have a patch size there.
I'm not sure what you mean by resize your png however.
I've got a crystal report built from v. 14.0.
Inside the report I've got a picture object that I've set the scaling properties to 33%.
The graphic location is set to pull from our DB.
I have two different images that I need displayed there depending on parameters passed into the report.
They are both 300 DPI, 1950 x 319.
Of both images, one pulls in wrong. It seems like it's scaling to 33% OF whatever 33% of the original image size is. Basically looks like 1/3 of what it should look like.
The other image pulls in exactly how it should look # 33% scaled.
The scaling doesn't change in the picture object properties when each image is loaded, it stays # 33%. If I change the one that comes in wrong to 100% scaled, then it looks correct which is weird, because # 100% it should be way bigger.
I've tried copying the bad image into the good image and resaving but the same thing happens, the scaling gets set wrong.
I can't figure out what's different about the images that's causing this weird behavior.
I've tried saving the images to bmp format but the same thing continues to happen. I've saved the images with multiple versions of photoshop and still nothing changes.
Is anyone able to point me in the right direction here? Thank you.
After much research we've identified something in the exif info that is causing this issue.
There's a block in the image that doesn't work called app0 that contains the jpg file interchange format information. I don't know a whole lot about it other than we used an app called photostudio.exe to look at the exif info.
We then used a tool called exiftool to remove that block from the exif info.
After doing so, the image scaled perfectly to 33%.
It's almost as if Crystal is scaling, then looking at that first app0 exif block and failing, then scaling again (effectively just retrying their method), and looking at the next blocks without failing any further.
Basically, I'd like to resize or resample a .png image (in order to reduce its file size) and yet retain it's transparency.
Anybody got an idea how best to go about this?
Thanks.
You can use paint.net, it is a free tool. Although it is pretty basic, it does the job.
Go to Image > Resize
Stumbled upon this thread and found the following site that does exactly what is requested: https://onlinepngtools.com/resize-png
What graphics program are you using?
Photoshop does this by simply going thru IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE and resizing. Transparency is not affected.
I'm sure Paint Shop Pro does the same
I know this is an old question, but the answer that worked for me was to use Inkscape.
Start Inkscape (free on Inkscape.org).
File -> Import... (Ctrl+I) the PNG file you want to resize (defaults on import dialog are ok).
With the image you just imported selected, select File -> Export PNG image... (Shift+Ctrl+E)
In the Export PNG Image tool pane, click the Export As... button to set the output filename and location.
In this same tool pane, set the image size using width/height or pixels.
In this same tool pane, click the Export button to create the output file.
This worked for me, hope it helps someone else.
Providing the image you have created / have been working on is transparent in the first place, using the "Resize" or "Resample" tools in any major image editing package (e.g. PhotoShop, PaintShop Pro and so on) should not affect (or lose) the transparency at all.
I use PaintShop Pro (X6, 64 Bit) myself and typically find that the "PNG Optimizer" option offers more options along these lines (than the default "Save As > .png" route).
Hope that this helps (specific to PaintShop Pro Users) in relation to the source question.
While I was waiting for the downloads of other image editing softwares, I tried Microsoft Power Point and succeeded in preserving the transparency.
Drag the image inside any slide, crop or resize, then save as a new picture as .png.
You can drag the image back in ppt to confirm the transparency is maintained
The complete Autodesk Sketchbook is now out for free including all the previous premium features such as resizing an image.
You do it as you would in paint by clicking on Image > Image Size... and then you can save as a .png without losing transparency.
Image size can be reduced by reducing number of colors and there are online tools to do this .
Try these..Hope they solve your problem

I'm running out of hair to pull. I created two icons:
icon#2x.png (114x114)
icon.png (57x57)
For some reason they appear half sized, however. See this screenshot:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxSFZAq0OUFGbXFWbWNTVlo3RHc
I'm 100% confident my icon sizes are as described. Any ideas why this might happen?
Some side notes that may or may not be relevant:
- I'm using PhoneGap + JQueryMobile, not that that should mapper
- I dragged a reference to the two icons into the Resources/icons folder, replacing the original icon.png and icon#2x.png files.
I had this problem as well. I experimented and discovered that it is related to the pixels/inch resolution. icon#2x seems to want 150 pixels/inch for full size, 300 pixels/inch gives half size, and 600 pixels/inch (which is what I was using) gives quarter size. As near as I can tell, image resolution didn't really have that much of an impact on the quality of the image when placed on an iPhone. My icon is very sensitive to rendering, so any degradation of image quality would have been readily noticeable.
Changing all the icons to 72dpi from 300dpi solved my problem.
Check the icon, as this is png image there was transparent background so crop the png file that starts with postion where blue color starts in the image. This solves your problem
I just had the same issue. My solution was to just open them in Xee (probably lots of other programs will do the trick) and resave them as png. My icons were originally created in gimp and this may something to do with they way that gimp saved them.
Exactly same thing happened to my defaults files - the same solution fixed it.
I had this issue when creating assets with Gimp. To solve it I unchecked "Save resolution" in the export dialog.
Windows phone asks for specific image sizes when submitting an application. When I take the image I wanna use and resize it to the dimensiond they want it distorts the image. If I keep it proportional Ill never get the exact sizes they need. What do you guys do to resolve this?
I used Photoshop. Open the image, choose "Image" > "Canvas Size". That will adjust the size of the image without distorting it. I am sure you can also use any of the free image applications like gimp http://www.gimp.org/
