How do i reduce the size of my Giant library file?

My laptop is running out of room. I have only 80gigs left (11% of the HD) and it is causing issues with the system. I am assuming the virtual memory is unable to run properly as there isn't enough HD space for it. So i have been trying to clean out my large number of video files (I make a lot of movies in iMovie). I have deleted a lot of files so far, but so far that has only freed up 12gigs.
Inoticed the "Library.imovielibrary" file is 322 gigs. I tried deleting some of the projects in there, but the file has not changed size. How do i reduce its size?

Have you as well deleted them in the basket in iMovie and then as well on the basket in the dock ??

How do I reduce the size of an AI CS6 file when saving as a pdf?

I'm trying to save an ai file to a PDF to send to the printer but the file is huge. How can I reduce the size without losing quality? I have already rasterized my images and flattened the artwork. Thanks!

How huge is huge? Are all of the images Placed at 100% or have they been scaled? What are the printer's requirements? What are the physical dimensions of the file? And, how are you creating the PDF? There are a few ways to minimize size, starting with the file itself and the printer's requirements. I find, sometimes, Exporting > TIFF > Open in Ps > Save As Photoshop PDF is helpful. I also use Distiller which trims files nicely and is customizable.

How do I reduce the size of a scanned PDF file?

I scanned a document from my HP Printer to a thumb drive. The document is too large to email. I need to reduce the size to make it possible to email it. I can't find anything in the Tutorials or Manual on how to do that. Does anyone know?

Save As Other>Reduce PDF File or Optimize PDF. The latter gives more control. The basic process for a scanned PDF is to reduce the pixel resolution that both of these process try to do. Sometimes the file actually gets bigger because of the processing (can't explain that). Also, when you save use Save As, not Save. Save retains any changes that are made.
You might also consider doing OCR with the ClearScan option (the searchable formats will not reduce size), but then have to deal with potential error corrections in the OCR.
Hopefully I have not confused the issue with the side comments.

How do I reduce the size of photos to use on website?

Thanks to the helpful person who recommended I use Rapidweaver to build a website, I am slowly getting somewhere. It is so simple and just like Apple applications that I think I can do this.
My problem now is that when I tried to transfer a photo from iPhoto to the draft website page it comes across so large it fills the page.
How do I reduce the size of photos so that I can bring them across? I need to show about 20 photos on the web pages. Do they need to be in a different format and if so how do I change it to the appropriate one?
Many thanks.

Hi Casuarina,
Go to this site and click on the Desktop Version Quicktime movie for a small tutorial. It will explain everything to you and you can see how you resize right within Rapid Weaver. It's really quite nifty.

How do I reduce the size of a graphic in Preview and maintain resolution?

Preview 6.0.1
Hi,
I have a graphic in Preview. The largest file is a .jpg at 77 KB. Information about the graphic is in the attached "Adjust Size ScreenPreview Galleon 77.
I find that when I reduce the size of the file using Previews menu bar functions that I usually use — Screenshot>Zoom reduce>Select the smaller picture>Screenshot — that the result is an image that has lost the focus, the resolution of the original graphic.
How do I reduce the size of a graphic and maintain resolution? I've never used the Adjust Size Screen functions.
I'm not stuck on having to use Preview to accomplish this, but I do use Preview a lot.
Thanks,
Rafael

Choose a smaller width, the height will adjust appropriately, and the resolution will stay the same.

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto.

What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto? The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB. Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.

Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.

How can I reduce the size of a pdf file for emailing?

I want to send a pdf file which is 8 mb, it has bounced in an email because it is too big, how can I reduce the size of the pdf file for emailing?

Sometimes a simple "Save As" will reduce the file size slightly, but probably not enough to pass the <8 mb threshold of your recipient, as you need.
You've probably seen it, try the next option in the Save As menu, "Reduced Size PDF," and make it compatible with the latest version possible, again considering the recipient. This suggestion assumes Acrobat X. You don't say which version you're using, but this tool was available at least going back to Version 8, but in a different place, you'll have to hunt.
If all that doesn't work, you could remove some images from the source document, which also will reduce the overall size.
Best luck.

I have the latest iPad update on my Ipad 3 as of September 23, 2012.
I havejust taken a series of photographs with my iPad that I would like to share with family and specific friends ONLY. I have set up the photos I want to share in Photo Stream. I have synced them to my PC via iCloud. Everything is fine except, the pictures are far too large to share ... and I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do in order to give my family access to these Photo Stream pictures.

How can I reduce the size of these files?
Can i not use this files and see the tabscripts or others object htmlb?
thanks

Hi Benito,
these files contain all "stuff" that the BSP Extensions need to work. If you decide to code your own HTML content you don't need them.
The other thing to consider is that these files should really be cached b your browser so this overhead only happens once.
Cheers

How can i reduce the size of Images in MIDlet

How can i reduce the size of Images in Form,bcoz they are covering lots of spaces in form due to that other items are not displaying in specific order.

Better you can use Canvas class and using drawImage() function you can show the image. Before that you have to Get the maximum size of your phone screen using the following:
x = (width/2) - (image.getWidth()/2);
y = (height/2) - (image.getHeight()/2);

How can I reduce the size of IPhoto ?

I have tested IPhoto with a few hundred pictures.
I do not find this software very user-friendly, in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures. I kept fortunately a copy of my complete set of my photo collection.
I removed all pictures from IPhoto, but the application shows a size of 600 Mb.
How can I reduce the size of IPhoto and recover this storage space?

patrick
in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures.
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
You might also like to explore the iPhoto tutorials at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/index.html
Use the Get Info window to remove unwanted language resources.
