Image resolution

A_Flower — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 12:21:25 GMT

Good morning,

My images are showing up in IM with 118x118 dpi file resolution description when they are 300x300 dpi.

The File Resolution Description box is greyed out, unlike the other attributes.

This is for item 00030800300086.

I've attached a screen shot of the properties for this specific item in question.

There are several items being flagged with this same issue, and all of our items are 300x300dpi.

Can you please help me get this resolved so these can flow through correctly to Kroger?

Thanks in advance!

Hello. Thanks for reaching out to us in regards to the images DPI. This field is locked from when the image is loaded into Item Management. When I exported the images and reloaded them into Item Management they did come through as 300 DPI. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

So this field doesn't automatically update when we add new images?

Are you telling me i'm going to have to reload every one of my images for Kroger?

When I add new images, I usually just click and drag from my file.

When you say export, does that mean the same as upload?

I just uploaded images for the Bunny Pops, and they are still showing 119x119dpi.

I uploaded some images today to a brand new entry and those are also showing up as 118 x 118 dpi when they are definitely 300 x 300 dpi. Can I please get help with this?

Yes, I will take a look at this for you as well. Taking a look at the example GTIN you mentioned before, 00030800300086

Thank you so much. I have reached out to tech support also and they are escalating the ticket.

Hello. I have an update for you and admit I learned on this one too. So, a good question from you. DAM extracts data very similar to the link below and we do not really recommend using software like Paint. If you use the link below and then drag your image in question and execute it for download, you will see the X and Y resolution show exactly what DAM is showing in IM. My recommendation would be to correct the image and upload it again. Once you do so, the metadata will update as well and if it meets requirements, you will not have a need to change the metadata in question any further.

A similar way to how the following apps extract metadata: https://www.metadata2go.com/

Please let me know how this goes for you.

Thank you for your help, however, this isn't working.

I have our photographer in here and she noticed when we use the link you provided above the resolution unit iis in cm and we do inches.

Could this be the issue?

We did load one of our images into the link and it came up 118 for both x & y.

See the attachment where it shows cm in metadata. Is there a way to switch from cm to dpi?

I'm really confused because some of our images are passing through even though they have the exact same numbers.

Is this something I should talk to Kroger about?

These are good questions I am looking into for you.

Hello, yes, I believe the issue could be in the conversion for the units of measure.

Thank you!

What can we do to resolve this?

The link I shared last week is a good example of how DAM will also see and access your image. Since what it (and Dam) are reading is different than what you see, can you try converting on your end and send again?

Re: Image resolution

A_Flower — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:08:14 GMT

What confuses me so much is why are some of our image right, and some are wrong when they are all the exact same when they're uploaded?

Why or how does it pick select images out of a group?

Re: Image resolution

A_Flower — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:34:16 GMT

Also, Kroger is asking us to remove all images that are NOT 300 x 300 dpi.

Re: Image resolution

CommunityJedi22 — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 16:18:50 GMT

What I am wondering is, when you correct one of the ones we have been discussing, whether it is actually at the resolution needed. We will see when we are talking apples to apples. Please let us know
