Changing file size for web use - multiple images

My most recent iPhoto event consists of 45 pictures, most of which are 1 MB or larger. I want to scale them down a bit for web use.
I do understand how the export command works. If I want to change all 45 pictures at once (select all), where should I export them to, and then what is the procedure to get them back into iPhoto? I would really like them to all show up as a new event in iPhoto (same pictures as the original event, only smaller file sizes).
Am I overlooking some easy way to do this?

No you’re not overlooking an easy way to do it.
Export them to a Folder on the desktop and then import them.
However, why are you keeping these web versions? The more efficient use of disk space would be to upload them then trash them. If you need other versions in the future you can re-do them. Not a lot to be gained by holding on to them, is there?

Reduce file size for web use

Hello,
I created a website some months ago and I realize now the images are far too large and it takes a second for them to load. So I opened them in photoshop and changed the PPI to around 50, but the file size didn't shrink. I tried 10, and still nothing. I tried Save For Web and the file size got larger. Any ideas on how to keep the image quality (for web) but reduce the file size for easy page loading? Thank you.

Don't worry over the ppi value. That's arbitrary.
You can reduce the pixel count, by resampling. That will make an image smaller in a hurry. To do this, Image - Image Size, check the [ ] Resample Image checkbox, and change the pixel counts. I always set my Photoshop prefs so that I see the Image Size in pixels by default. If yours isn't reading in pixels by default, change the units so that it is.
However, you may need to have your images be a certain size, in pixels, and so resampling isn't an option. In that case, when you do File - Save As - JPEG (or use Save for Web & Devices), adjust the Quality value to get the image to the size you need.
Hope this helps!

Reducing image file size for web use without pixelation

Can anyone help me figure out how to best reduce images for fast web loading (in slideshows in Muse). I have done the save for web in PS and they are super pixelated now. The only versions that do not lose quality are the original size and they are huge files. Any help is appreciated.
Also can anyone tell me how big each image should be, what is considered a too big size (kb) for web images? Thanks Hillary

The settings I used were in the save for web panel and I saved the image as "medium" and the quality was 30, optimized was checked and it was scaled down to 16kb instead of 700kb. Is there a guideline as to how large in kb an image should be for good loading, it seems like with faster internet speeds we can go a bit larger for asset size. Is it OK to have an image as 65 kb if it is quite large (8 inched wide)?
I think I solved the problem. I just went in and saved the images as larger quality. I hope it does not slow things down too much. Any advice would help.

Errors in Export to PDF for web use - some images are lost when PDF is enlarged & in browser

I have a multi-page PDF in InDesign CS6 that I want to export to view on the web. I need the file to stay under 2MB, and I need it to be crisp and nice enough to read the type on the page (as small as 9pt type).
The errors that are occurring are the following:
On some browsers, some images will entirely not show up. Some of the missing images have been pasted into the document, some placed. I cannot think of a correlation.
When the PDF is enlarged (Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.10) to more than ~200%, there is one placed image that will mostly disappear. What I mean by "mostly" is that little bits of it are still visible, like I masked it carelessly or something. Since this is only occurring with one image it seems that it would be a problem with the image itself, yes? I'm all ears if I'm making a mistake. It is a placed .ai file with no link errors. Should I not be placing directly from illustrator? It renders wonderfully from 100% all the way up to 188%, and then if you enlarge by margins of 1% little bits of it disappear, almost a chunk at a time.
The way I've been exporting is:
File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print)
Adobe PDF Preset: Smallest File Size
Standard: None
Compatinility: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)
Options: Optimize for Fast Web View
Export Layers: Visible & Printable Layers
Compression
I always change the downsampling from [100/150] to [150/225]. I usually leave the JPG image quality low. I leave both bottom boxes checked (compress text and line art, crop image data to frames)
Output
Color Conversion: convert to destination
Destination: sRGB 1EC61966-2.1
Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
However, after reading a few other forum questions I started trying to export as Acrobat 4 so that it would flatten. When I do that, problem #2 still persists although I didn't test problem #1. I haven't tried using Distiller, and using the "prepare for web publishing" action within Acrobat itself makes the PDF too artifacted.
At the heart of my question is this: I am a young designer at an old company that is not necessarily keeping up with the times. I REALLY want to know what the best, most efficient way to export a pdf for web viewing is. Does this exist in InDesign, outside of InDesign? Does it exist at all? Tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I can get better!
Thank you in advance.

Show Large Images is a preference inside of Acrobat which might be disabled.

File sizes for web ads

Hi guys
I'm trying to figure out how large the final file size of my ad is so I can ensure it's under 40k. I'm sure there's an easy way to find out I just dont know it yet. Anyone able to help?
Thanks!

Hi Rossco,
If you are publishing an oam, on Mac you can select the oam, then use "option+click", then select "get info" for total file size.
If you're doing a normal web publish (File/Publish Settings/Web/Publish), when you actually publish the project, Edge will create a "publish" directory with all your files in it. Select that "publish" directory, and use "option+click", then select "get info". By the way- to save physical file size on disc, make sure the "Frameworks via CDN" tab is checked. This will load the various js libraries from the CDN, rather than storing them locally with your project.

Optimum QT file size for web

I'm new to iMovie 08 and iWeb, publishing to a folder not my iDisk. Is it better to use the Share feature in iMovie, or to export my video files to QT for upload to my site ? If to QT, what's the optimum size for loading and viewing?
Thanks,
Bob

Is it better to use the Share feature in iMovie, or to export my video files to QT for upload to my site ?
This normally depends on your target file/workflow needs. The "Medium" share option s a good, general purpose setting. It is compatible with QT Pro, iTunes, Front Row, iPhone, iPod, TV, gallery, and iWeb use via high-speed connection. If you want lower data rates, use a phone modem, mono audio, need CD/DVD ROM playback compatibility, or have other special issues, then other "share" pre-sets or export options with user selectable options would be better a better choice.
If to QT, what's the optimum size for loading and viewing?
Once again, the is usually a compromise between use requirements, work flow, and the contents itself. As indicated above, a 640 width with appropriate height aspect display is quite common for most uses. I tend to use this for most content that combines action and drama. On the other hand, for things like video tutorials, I would be more likely to use something on the order of a 960x540 at 60-70% of the data rate used for "movie" files. Frankly, ther is an entire range of settings and compromises that can be made between display size, data rates, and content quality which the user normally has to evaluate in order to judge what best for him or her in any particular situation.

Process multiple files prompts for "save" at every image

Hi, I am trying to use Elements 10 to convert Panasonic RAW files to JPEGs for web use. The batch runs, but prompts for a "save" location at every file. I have reinstalled Elements, reinstalled the Camera RAW update, and have ensured I have ownership of source and destination folders (in Windows 7).
I have tried several folders, set up test folders etc. and nothing seems to work. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Its been ayear or so since I did this, but it used to work. TIA.

Try selecting all thumbnails in camera raw (left hand thumbnail strip) then click the open image button (bottom right) to open them in PSE Editor. When the images appear in the project bin use:
File >> Process Multiple Files
Use the source dropdown for Opened files
Choose a separate folder for destination
Then set your jpeg quality/size.

What steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

What Steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

When you open a raw file it will open in Adobe camera raw. That is where you can do most of the editing. Then it will be placed inside Photoshop where you can do more if needed.
Now you can use the save for web dialog to export your image as a png or jpg to use on those sites.

InDesgin CS6: What is best practice for creating a jpg for web use?

My graphic design experience is heavy toward print, but I’ve been charged to solve this web-graphics problem for my team. I’ve done searches online and can’t find resources specific to this issue. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Here’s the issue:
My team uses both InDesign and Photoshop CS6, to make landing pages and other stuff for our website. After saving to jpg files, the InDesign files always have jaggy text compared to Photoshop’s jpg. What are we doing wrong? Can’t InDesign be used for web? I’ve also tried saving it out as PNG with no better results.
Note: The background in the InDesign files are created in Photoshop (these look fine in both programs)—but the text created in InDesign looks jaggy while Photoshop’s text looks clean.
Here’s how we save it in Photoshop
File > Save for Web with these settings: JPG, High, Optimized, Quality 70, Blur 0, Matte None, Quality Bicubic.
Here’s how I solved the problem (which seems too labor intensive to actually be correct) Is there a better way?
I convert text to outlines.
I change the “intent” to web intent
Manually reset the page size. Whenever I change the intent in anyway, InDesign automatically changes the page size to 8.5”x11” or 800x600 pix regardless of the original page-size. I expect it to change proportionately from inches to pixels, or vise-versa, but it just won’t do it. Is there a preference for this somewhere?
Export as JPG with these setting: Quality Maximum, Format method progressive, Resolution 72 ppi, Color Space RGB, Options: Embed Color Profile: sRGB IEC6196-2.1, anti-alias.
Our web people tell us that if we use a higher resolution the image comes in proportionately too large, and they can’t use it at that size.
This seems like a lot of work. There must be a better way?

Ok. Thank you. Hmm....I don't have PDF/X-4. I have Adobe Preset PDF/X1a and PDF/X3.
I assume PDF/X-4 is a from a newer version of InDesign. Will PDF/X-3 work as well?
So there is not a way to achieve a crisp jpg or png directly from InDesign without all the steps I'm using now?
BTW, do you happen know why changing the "intent" changes the page size? or where I can change a preference on this. unless I've overlooked it, I don't see anything relating to this under edit > preferences.
Thanks again for your reply, I value your input!

Is it possible to have same file size for different dpi?

I changed one.TIFF file (300dpi, 1024X1332) to .jpg files of four different dpi. But when I checked the four result jpg files, I found out that they are all in same file size and quality.( I also have checked the property of the files in the Windows.)
I think more DPI means more data and more file size. Am I wrong?
I use Photoshop CS 5.1(64bit, WINDOWS) - which is part of my Adobe Master Collection CS5.5.
TIFF(300dpi, 1024X1332) ->
1. JPG(72dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
2. JPG(108dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
3. JPG(144dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
4. JPG(600dpi, 1024X1332) : 306KB
I tested a few times more with different files. and same result comes out.(same file size for different dpi)
Thanks in advance.

Yes absolutely. Great observation. PPI does not control the number of pixels, just how big they are.
Now, if you change the PPI in the Image Size dialog with Resample checked.. then, that is a different story. In that case you will be changing the pixel dimension of an image (i.e.,changing the total number of pixels making up the image) while keeping its print size.
In your test files, you will notice all the print sizes are different, because all you were telling Photoshop to do was change the size of the pixels (if or when the image is ever printed), which is really just a bit of metadata of the file.

Ideal file size for photos

If I am making photo albums in iWeb, what is the ideal file size for the photo file?
My camera now is 7 megapixel, so the original file sizes are about 3 MB, obviously that'll be very slow to load.
To what file size should I save it to make it load at a reasonable speed and still have a reasonable quality? 500 KB? 200 KB?
In case this is a factor, the typical album I make would have about 40 - 50 photos.
Also, what are the best ways to batch converts -- making a group of photos 500 KB instead of 3 MB? I know a few time-consuming ways (ie. individually resaving the files) or using a thumbnail-making program (have used a program called Thumbs Up).
Any other suggestions? Thanks.

If you are importing your photos directly from iPhoto to iWeb, they will be scaled down to a max dimension of 800x600. If you are using a photo template page or making a gallery page using the following method...
http://www.mac.com/web/en/Blog/013C4180-4787-4847-BAAB-319222AFC652.html
...iWeb will also make your thumbnails for you automatically.
For all your other freeform pages that you might make, it is always a good idea to size your photos down to their usage size. A good rule of thumb is to consider the width of your page, which by default is 700px. Then divide it out by how many photos across you expect to have roughly. So 3 photos across 700 pixels means that the photos should be scaled to roughly 233 pixels wide maximum. Just a rough approximation is fine.
The reason I recommend doing this is that if you drop in a 2500 pixel wide image into iWeb directly, and you only plan on using it as a 233 pixel wide image on the page... iWeb will do a fine job of scaling the photo down to size BUT it will also save the full resolution photo as part of your web page....not to use, but just for safe keeping. And if you ever discover the RSS feed on your website, you will see that iWeb makes all of these high resolution photos available for download, too! So beware if you value your original work! Don't feed them directly to iWeb.

What should I work with for an initial file size for final print pieces that range from 18"x12" to 40' x 20'.

I am shooting in Canon RAW and using background plates with green screen images. I am not certain whether I need to create the initial file in multiple sizes for the various final print pieces, or if a single file size should be used and then down-rezzed or uprezzed based on what needs to be printed.
File sizes are:
18" x 12" (inches)
40" x 27" (inches)
30" x 60" (inches)
60" x 120" (inches)/5' x 10' (feet)
20' x 40' (feet)
The largest size format we are doing as 1/10 scale at 720 dpi to go down to 72 dpi for print.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Much thanks.

Is it ok to delete the stuff from the Final Cut Express Documents since I don't need it anymore?
No problem.
Regards the external drive. Check that it is formatted to Mac OS Extended or you will strike trouble and connect it with a firewire cable, not USB.
