Iweb photo page resizes photos

It seems no matter what I do I cannot get an iweb photo page to NOT resize my photos. On a photo page I have gone to the inspector and selected none and original for the photo download size and iweb still resizes the photos when I publish to a folder. I am pulling the photos in from iphoto. In iphoto the photos are full size (3MB +). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

ImageWell allows you to resize photos either by dimensions or by total size in kilobytes, and then you can upload them. It has a batch option too. Seems as though iPhoto should allow this but I haven't found it.

Any way to show photo page without photo names?

You can always select each photo name and delete it, but it still loads as an (empty) item when browsing... I cant find any "show/hide photo titles" option anywhere...

please open the inspector pane.
choose the inspector pane for graphic (it is the third from right).
move the slider for "subtitle size" to the left.
subtitles of the pictures are away then.
(please excuse if the terms are not correct - I translated them on-the-fly from the german version of iWeb)

Can visitors download full-sized photos without using the iWeb photo page?

Neither the photo page nor album page suits the needs of my site, so here's what I would like to do:
Import my pictures into a blank page. Instruct visitors to right click to save.
Will they be saving a full-size version of the photo? Or will it save a thumbnail?
An alternative is to make the thumbnail itself a link to a page with a larger version of the same photo.
By not using a pre-formatted photo or album page, I do not have access to the iWeb download photo quality selector (it's grayed out in the menu).
Thanks for your help.

The quality that you upload will be the quality that viewers can download.
Here's a way to do it without using a Photo template......

How do you resize photos on a page of a book created in iPhoto '09?

How do you resize photos on a page of a book created in iPhoto '09? I can zoom in or out, but I can't figure out how to make a photo smaller. Is this just because I am working in a Contemporary book format, using a 2 photos per page layout? I'd like to work with maximum flexibility, like starting from the blank template in iWeb, where I can add any number of photos, text, and change all the sizes. Is this possible? Thanks.

You resize the photo by clicking on it and zooming
You can not resize the photo frame
Is this just because I am working in a Contemporary book format, using a 2 photos per page layout?
No they all work the same - see Liz Castro's page - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/ - for a detailed description of iPhoto '08 layouts - all of those carry forward to iPhoto '09 plus there are new ones that she has not documented yet

Not in iWeb but you can do pages in any page layout program (word, pagemaker, pages, etc) and print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option to create a totally custom page - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 - http://web.mac.com/toad.hall/OldToadsTutorials/No._19.html - for directions

Rebuilding Photo Pages from Lost iWeb Site

I mistakenly deleted my backed up iWeb domain file after doing a fresh install of OSX. I know there is no way to import the published HTML files into iWeb, so I am in the process of making a copy of my website manually. I am looking for a way to rebuild my photo pages that doesn't require me to look at the published site, identify which photo is on the site, find it in iPhoto, and drag it to my new iWeb site. Instead, what I'd like to do is grab the photo files from iDisk for each photo page, and then drop them into my new iWeb site. However, I can't seem to find on my iDisk where the actual photo files are stored. I suspect I am looking in the wrong place. The files in the iDisk/Web/Sites/Site Name/My Albums/Pages/Album Name/Media/Photo Name are too small and low quality. When I click the download link from the published site, it's the full size file. Where is this stored?

IWeb Photo Pages vs. MobileMe Gallery

I post a personal blog with quite a few pictures. Does anyone know the advantages to using an iWeb Albums/Photo pages versus using the widget to link to MobileMe galleries?

You should look at the user experience. iWeb albums are attractive and easy for the user to use. Widgets can be useful for a quick way to link to an external gallery but as a user I would find it a less attractive option than the iWeb albums. Would you, if you were a stranger visiting the site, find one or the other option more or less attractive?
The greatest advantage with any web page element is where the user finds something enticing, and therefore wanting to return to the site. You optimize with that as your first thought and then design accordingly.

Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

Hello,
I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

Posting pics on iWeb Photo pages

hi, i did some research on the issue i am having but couldn't find any resolutions. i'm hoping someone can help me with their experience / expertise. this is the weirdest thing and perhaps i'm overlooking something obvious?
i have taken digital pics in both portrait and landscape formats. eg. took pics of tall buildings using portrait versus a wide view of a scenery by using landscape.
as i dragged these portrait pics of the building onto the photo pages (specifically with the 'travel' template), it automatically converts it to landscape. so now the buildings are on its sides when it should have been upright. i made sure that the original pic is portrait and the buildings are upright under Apple Preview. i've looked and there are no options for me to modify the pics by ways of rotate.
anyone experienced this and know why it's happening? suggestions?
thank you very much for hearing me out...

kaisuke:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Cameras with the auto-rotate feature adds a tag to the file telling applications that can read the tag how to rotate and display it. iPhoto will read that tag and create a physically rotated modified version for you to use. If the a-r file goes directly into iWeb it gets displayed as landscape because iWeb can't read that tag. Some applications can read the tag and others cannot.
I've turned of auto-rotate in my camera and upload to a folder on the desktop where I use a 3rd party application to physically rotate them before importing into iPhoto. Saves space as no modified file is created and avoids the occasional file getting displayed incorrectly.

"flicker" in iweb photo page

I have just installed iLife '08 ad am curretly updating my website with photos using web gallery. The biggest problem I have found is that the photos constantly flicker on my iweb application, but they publish just fine. I also woul like to know if I can get rid of the album that comes up as a place holder on the photos page because it doesn't publish anyway.
Thanks

How to get iPhoto '08 to export comments as part of iWeb photo page?

I've got an event in iPhoto '08, and want to export it as a photo page (darkroom template). It exports all the photos and titles, but not the comments from iPhoto. I cannot figure out how to make it export the comment. Where is the setting for this?
It's very easy in iPhoto to export as a regular html with the comments, but somehow not to iWeb.

Marguerite:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's an Applescript that will take your comments and put them in the title field in iPhoto. Then when you create the photo page in iWeb the comments will be in the title field and will be displayed. Once the iWeb page is created you can go back in iWeb and use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name menu option and get the old title back.
Here's where you get the Applescript. Be sure to read the comments to see where the one error, regarding the Å character that is in the script: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070822121100394&query=applescript %2Btitle
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IWeb 08 and photo pages!!!!?

when updating my old domain file to the new format, i seemed to have lost all the photos on my old photo pages and the formatting is not correct. I thought what the ****, need to refresh the site so decided to create new photo pages etc, using the new index page as well.
So completed the new pages, saved the domain, published to .mac. site look fine!!!!! Closed iWeb, then opened it again and low and behold, lost the photos and the formating gone.
Anyone know of a fix?
Regards
Mark

I had a problem with photos missing from Photo pages. I just talked to Apple support and we were able to fix the problem for my domain!
The Apple support person said that some domain files are not being properly updated to 2.0. In those cases, peoples are experiencing missing pictures and text as navigation on photo pages.
One indicator if your domain was properly updated to 2.0 is to look at the filename in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/. In my case the file was Domain.sites and not Domain.sites2 so the initial conversion did not complete properly.
The solution was to replace incorrectly updated Domain.sites file above with the original backup that I made before installing iWeb 2.0. (NOTE - The readme clearly states to backup this file before installing and luckily I did.)
After copying the file to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb, make sure that iWeb is closed (not running). I then double clicked the Domain.sites folder and patiently wait for the Progress bar to complete. (Thank you to another poster on another thread for this suggestion.) You will not receive any success message other than the file will be renamed Domain.Sites2.
After multiple saves and publishes, it appears that everyone now works correctly. The Apple support person was very interested in user feedback and wants more people to report issues via phone. He took my original domain file (via his iDisc account) so he could submit it to engineering for them to study. It sounds like they could still use a few more examples of Domains that fail the initial upgrade to 2.0.
Hope this helps.

Trying to manipute the photo page in iweb for a single slide show

I want to add a slide show to my website that I am creating but I do not want all the photos shown individually the way they do on the photo page for all the iweb templates.
Can I import a slideshow from iphoto or do I need to create one somewhere else and then import it?

Iweb 08 removing photos from photo page upon save

I am running into a peculiar bug in iweb. I have a working iweb site with mostly photo or movie pages. Was in updating the iweb site on my new MBP late 2008 adding in a new photo page.
1) added new photo page and renamed
2) dragged ~8 photos from iphoto to populate the page
3) dragged additional groups of photos (~10 at a time)
4) edited some text at the top of the page
5) clicked save
All but the first set of photos dragged onto the page from iphoto were deleted from the page.
Thought this to be very strange as something like this happened two weeks ago and I thought it was an errant mouse click or something I did.
But again - why? I went back and added more photos to the page to fix. Moved over 3 groups and then clicked save. Again the photos disappeared. Getting frustrated at this time.
Again added photos to the page in groups and saved the file after each addition. Page eventually was created with all photos saving after each group was added.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thank you,
Keith

After you ran the updates to iWeb on your new Mac, did you do a restart? Although you are not instructed to do this, do it anyway!
Most problems in iWeb can be fixed by deleting the preferences file - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist, restarting your Mac and running Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Don't forget to reset your preferences after deleting the .plist.

Web gallery use vs iWeb photo page

I really like the quick layout of the gallery. Would I be saving more iDisk space by using the Aperture Web gallery vs iWeb photo pages?? My guess is yes because I can control the size in page/detail and more when I save to my .mac. The only feature I would lose is the flow of navigation with the other iWeb pages.
My thought was to create a main photo page with iWeb and have a small snapshot to hyperlink to the homepage.mac gallery created with Aperture. This allows flexibility in adding/removing the galleries if space becomes an issue. I dont have much in iWeb so far and it takes a really long time to load as it is. I'd hate to bog down more with photo galleries.

hello, me100finn
quote: "The only feature I would lose is the flow of navigation with the other iWeb pages."
You can always manually make a link to the other web pages which is what I do.
Just a few more added features to Aperture Web Gallery and Web Journal like an advance option feature to view & change the CSS or source code (without going to GoLive or Dreamweaver) or something along the lines of "would you like to add a link to another url?" would be tasty.
quote: "My thought was to create a main photo page with iWeb and have a small snapshot to hyperlink to the homepage.mac gallery created with Aperture."
Yup, my thoughts too. Maybe version 2 (i hope). I'm making the site first in Aperture (the heavy lifting) and then making minor additions and tweaks in GoLive.
To do this add the image, select it after the export in a wysiwyg html editor and point it to the proper linked url.

Photo pages don't show photos after iWeb upgrade

I loaded the upgrad yesterday for my 08 iWeb and now the photos that I published prior to upgrade don't show up on my site. Strangely, the Album page shows the photos in each album, but when I click into the photo page itself, no photos are visible and also the "index, play slideshow, subscribe" don't work either. Any new photo page I created after the upgrade looks fine. Everything looks clean in iWeb software itself. Photos don't show up on the site. What's up with this? Thanks for the answers.

Mine is doing the exact same thing - thought the update would solve the issue. The drop down menu says there are missing fonts, then it tells me to put the photos on the page again, which is ridiculous. iWeb '06 to '08 is the problem as anything added to it since upgrading to the latter works fine. Apple won't seem to acknowledge that they've introduced incompatible software, which is more like the doings of Microsoft.
