Red Cine-X Tiff Still Exports -- 300 DPI or Higher?

[Joe Taylor]

I've not found any way of exporting Tiff Stills from Red Cine X with anything higher than 72 DPI. Is there a way of setting DPI resolution? It seems the settings for extracting stills are simple and straightforward and that 72 DPI is the limit.

There is no way, but you can change it on photoshop
image/image size (uncheck resample image and change the resolution)

72 dpi, 120 dpi, 360 dpi, it doesn´t matter at all (as you may know) as long as Redcine X allows you to export FULL resolution stills from the RED RAW files, and as Jean Pierre points out, set dpi to your liking in photoshop later - no worries.

 

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

Joe you already have the purest image possible, as long as you set preferences for SNAPSHOT in REdcine X to "full res" and a format like TIFF.

Export from REDCINE X, Full res, TIFF

Open in photoshop, go to IMAGE SIZE, uncheck "RESAMPLE IMAGE" and simply enter whatever DPI you want, Photshops resets the properties of your image.
The original PIXEL size is retained at FULL RESOLUTION.

Save
Finished!

RED @ 16:9 4K is 4096 x 2560 pixels, if set at 360 dpi this is an image the size of 6,4 by 11,378 inches....

At it´s "native" 72 Dpi the same image is stretched out to 56,889 by 32 inches - but it´s still 4096x2560 pixels.

Dpi on it´s own is not a measure of resolution, Dpi=Dots per inch - only tells a printer or whatever how large you want your image printed.

does anyone ever have a issue when exporting a TIFF this way- it not showing the same color/quality that it did in cineX?

 

[Josh K]

The DPI setting is just metadata that tells the printer what size to print the image at, it has no effect on quantity or quality of image data.

I've noticed recently that Resolve, RCX and VLC ignore my monitor calibration but many other programs do not (quicktime, OSX's image preview, etc) so I've often taken an image out of one of my editing applications and been frustrated that it looked different, or watched something I just exported and found the colors all a little off. But transfering them to another computer, or bringing the export back into Resolve, they looked fine. Check your images that way first.
