ICloud/iPad photo resolution

My iPad / iCloud settings are to store the higher quality original photo in iCloud while the iPad automatically, in the background, makes a second smaller version for local storage optimised for the iPad. This is a setting on the iPad. Does this function still apply when I import from a computer?

I assume you mean this bit:
On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices.
Actually that was the point I was making, if you don't think your video implies that Photostream simply reduces the resolution of photos and that this is a problem for iPhoto and not just iPhoto on an iOS device, that's fine. I did, and as your video was so well done generally, I thought you'd like to know. Sorry, if you took it personally.

  • How do I move all my ipad photos to icloud? .

    How do I move all my ipad photos to icloud? Since the last software update none of my ipad pictures upload to the cloud. i just want to empty all the picture to the cloud and free up the ipad.

    You turn iCloud Photo Library on in Settings > iCloud > Photos. However it doesn't "empty" the pictures to the cloud. The most you can do to free up space using iCloud is to turn on Optimize Storage to keep a smaller device-sized version of the photos on your iPad. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
    iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
    In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
    In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
    If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

  • Photo Resolutions and Icloud

    Hi folks , writing today to make sure i am not going crazy. When reading the various links and pages everyone states that when a picture i have taken is stored in photostream it is stored in full resolution ..... so when i download that picture with my mac or pc it will be saved in the original resolution it was taken ..... a few months ago i organized my iphoto library and then started sharing various albums to photostream so they would be saved in icloud for free and i could access on any of my devices ( 2 imacs, 2 iphones and one ipad and of course an apple tv ) ....i recently got another mac wanted to have access to all of the cloud photos and redpwnload some again through photostream in iphoto .... to my suprise they would only download in 2048x1536 ..... not the original resolution.
    Here is where i am confused i thought when the pics were uploaded they would save in original res .... when downloaded on a pc or mac they would download again in full res .... when on an ios device they would be the optimized res......
    The whole reason why i picked icloud for my photo solution was the cloud storage in full res and of course the unlimited size.... what am i doing wrong ?

    This is from this Apple document: iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ

  • Pixel resolution reduction in iPad Photo

    My camera takes 10.2 megapixel HD images. I discovered that photos imported via a SD card reader into the iPad have the same picture dimensions (3648x2064) as with an iPhoto import but on the iPad there is only 44% the resolution of the same file imported into iPhoto. In iPhoto the photo is 3.6 MG and on the iPad the same photo is only 1.6 MG. A loss of 2MG of pixel! That effectively reduces the picture to 4.5 megapixel resolution.
    Guess there is a reason for it, but it does make the iPad only useful as a way to quick view photo work, but the full resolution pictures would still have to be loaded into iPhoto, NOT synced from iPad. (or have I missed something in some kind of prefs?)

    Chris CA wrote:
    Just to wrap this up, please confirm that there is no reduction in quality, resolution, etc. in the absence of editing.
    correct.
    When pix are added to the iPad using a camera connection kit, the photo is imported as it is on the camera (full resolution).
    The iPad Photo app will also create a new version, which is 2304 x 1536. This is for display on the iPad.
    When syncing the photos back to the computer, only the original, untouched photo will get copied to the computer.
    When syncing photos to the iPad thru iTunes, the photos get reduced/optimized to 2304 x 1536, if they are larger than this.
    Good. Thanks. I was concerned that I may have misled the OP.

  • What resolution are ipad photos? The ones you take with the iPad itself.

    i'm trying to find out at what resolution ipad photos taken on the iPad are stored at. When I send them to myself and choose the largest size possible on the email, they are only 72 dpi. I thought there was an option for 300 dpi?
    THanks!

    I have a fourth generation iPad...I tried both email and direct download. The photos are largish - 26 inches  in width but the dpi is 72. As far as I can tell, that' sustain how it is, I can't seem to find any solid info on it. Thanks for trying, I appreciate it

    When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, only new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream. Existing photos won't.

    Correct you cannot see the photos on iCloud. To see the photos use any Apple devices and sign it with your Apple ID and you see them in Photos App.

  • My photos from my iphone 4s are not coming across in my ipad or my computer.  I have everything with icloud and photos turned on

    My photos from my new iphone 4s are not coming across on my ipad or my computer.  I have all devises synced together, icloud on photos are turned on.  Not sure what else to do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community
        •    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        •    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        •    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.
    Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)

    Hello, subutler44.
    Thank you for the question.  Once you have installed the iCloud Control Panel for Windows, you enable Photo Stream.  This will add a folder called Photo Stream Uploads in My Pictures or Pictures.  From there, you will drag and drop photos that you would like in Photo Stream to the Uploads folder.

  • Can't delete SOME photos from my iPad Photo Album

    Hello there,
    I need a bit of help.  I'm using an iPad 2 OS 6.0.1.
    There's a few photos that I'm not able to delete from my Photos folder.
    I click on the Photos App
    Then click on Edit
    I then get the option to put check marks on the photos.  At that point I can click on the Delete button and delete SOME of them, but not all.
    It's strage because some of the ones I can't delete, just seem to be duplicates of some of the ones I CAN delete.
    In the past, I was syncing my iPad to my computer.  Since moving to the iCloud, I've stopped plugging my iPad into any computer.  I've read some message boards that say that this is because those photos were added by syncing to the laptop and that in order to remove them, you have to re-sync to the laptop. 
    One BIG issue is, that laptop is now not functioning.  Assuming these photos were added through that laptop, is there a way to remove them without syncing to that laptop?  Also, why would there be some duplicates.  Would it have been an error in the sync process that created the dups?
    I'm thinking MAYBE the answer is going to be to sync the iPad to my NEW laptop.  If that's the answer, is that safe to do without risk of losing stuff?  (music, movies, apps, app data, settings)
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • Icloud and photos - I am confused

    I am unsure about what is happening with my photos.  I ran out of my free 5GB space  in iCloud-  most of the space was taken up with photos. I hooked up my iphone to the Mac and saved all the photos to my photo library and did a back  up of everything. I clicked the option to 'remove all synced photos from iphone' once they were all synced but they were all still there.  I thought that that would release the space taken up.  I don't get it.  So then I turned off iCloud - and now the space is restored.  There is a message saying Your icloud library has been disabled, you have 27 days remaining to make sure you have a complete copy of your photos and videos.  I think I have done that - or is there something else it means? 
    I like having iCloud, I like being able to see my photos on all my devices, so how can I do that and just use the 5GB allocated?

    Hello The Countess,
    Based on your post it seems you would like more information about iCloud and photo management. Syncing photos your computer and removing them from your iPhone is great way to free up storage space. Photos are still kept in your Photo Stream for some time, which do take up your iCloud storage. I have linked to an article which provides more information:
    iCloud: My Photo Stream overview
    With My Photo Stream, the photos you take with your iOS devices or import to your computers appear automatically on all of your devices. It’s a great way to get all your latest shots on all your personal devices.
    How it works
    You can take a photo with your iOS device, or import photos from your digital camera to your iPad or your Mac or Windows computer. iCloud automatically pushes copies of the photos over any available Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection to your other devices.
    The photos appear in My Photo Stream on these devices:
    On your Mac, in iPhoto or Aperture
    On your iOS 7 device, in the Photos app
    On your iOS 8 device, in the Photos app (when iCloud Photo Library beta is not turned on)
    On your Apple TV, under iCloud Photos
    On your Windows computer, in the Pictures Library
    On your iOS 8.1 device (when iCloud Photo Library beta is turned on), your most recent photos are uploaded to iCloud and appear in All Photos in the Photos app.
    Note: When iCloud Photo Library beta and My Photo Stream are enabled on your iOS 8.1 device, your recent photos will upload to My Photo Stream but new photos from devices without iCloud Photo Library beta will not be imported.
    To conserve storage space, My Photo Stream keeps only your latest 1000 photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. On your Mac and Windows computers, every picture from your photo stream can be automatically downloaded and kept permanently.
    You can also set up your Mac and Windows computers so your new photos appear in a My Photo Stream album. Your computer has more storage than your iOS device and can automatically import all photos from My Photo Stream to your photo library.
    If you take photos with burst mode or image stabilization, only the photos you select as favorites when using burst mode, and the final composite image shot with image stabilization, are added to My Photo Stream. If you want all burst-mode photos uploaded to My Photo Stream and your iPhone has iOS 7.1 or later, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Settings > Photos & Camera), then turn on Upload Burst Photos.
    Note: To prevent unintended or excessive use, My Photo Stream limits the number of photos and videos that can be uploaded within a given hour, day, or month. For more information, see the Apple Support article My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing Limits.

  • IPad photo issues with third party apps

    Up until recently I've had no problem with the issue I'm about to describe.
    When I download my raw format photos from my camera using the SD card reader I cannot view full photos in any third party apps such as the Photoshop app or any other I've tried. I just get a small thumbnail version, very low res. I can view them fine in the iPad photos app. If I sync my iPad with my computer and put the photos back into the iPad with iTunes they work fine with all my third party photo apps. Any suggestions?

    This appears to be a problem that cropped up with iOS 4. Prior to iOS 4, when a third party app would allow a user to browse to a RAW photo, the app would get a jpeg representation that was generally of high resolution.
    As of iOS 4, when third party apps get an image from these RAW images through the Photo Library the image that is retuned is of a very low (thumbnail) resolution. In our testing this appears to be limited to RAW images from Nikon cameras. When you sync your iPad the RAW photos are processed and then resync'd as jpegs on your iPad. You'll find these photos will now show up at the expected resolution once they go through the syncing process.
    We reported the bug to Apple and have not had any luck in getting any assistance for a work around through Developer Technical Support. They have explained that the iOS always grabs the jpeg preview from a RAW photo's data. Presumably if the particular RAW format does not include a jpeg preview you'd get nothing, but we do not have the data to indicate if there are any formats out there that don't store a jpeg preview as well as the RAW data.
    You will find that a couple of third party apps have found some work-around to the issue. To date our only idea has been to access the RAW image directly and parse it for the jpeg preview ourselves. We are hoping the issue is resolved in the next version of the iOS, but don't have any information yet to indicate that it will or will not be.
    Good Luck!
