Resizing image without cropping

I am trying to add a value to the width in InDesign in order to resize an image. What's happening is that it is resizing the image by cropping it. I don't want the image cropped; I just want it reduced proportionately. What should I do?

Resizing images without export

Hi all,
I would like to create a folder that contains re-sized versions of my master images. The folder will be photos that I am posting to my web site and I want to be able to control their size and keep this resized image in my aperture library. I am uploading them through the site host's uploader (squarespace) using finder, not exporting through aperture. Is there a way to create duplicate,resized versions of the images without exporting and re-importing the photos?
I know that aperture isn't photo editing software, but i expected that it would be able to do basic things (mirror, resize, etc) and am constantly disappointed. I could round-trip to photoshop, but I hope there's an easier solution.
Thanks,
John

First question - why do you need the JPEGs? If it's to upload them to a site via FTP there are export plug-ins to do this directly from within Aperture.
Using the media browser isn't going to help you at all because that will be accessing Previews in Adobe98 profile - not something you should be putting up on a website.
I also came across this problem when I wanted to convert a large number of raw files to jpegs and keep the new jpegs in my library. At the time I was running low on disk space and didn't need the raws anymore, but had to go through the process of exporting and re-importing for a bunch of projects.
Sorry, but that's a bit too alien an idea for me - I never threw away negatives back when I was using film, why would you throw away RAW files now?
Another pet peeve I have is that there is no status indicator when exporting (2 minutes left, 25% done, etc....anything besides a beachball), so I don't know how long the export will take, and on my 2006 macbook it sometimes takes a while.
At the bottom of the Browser pane on the left you will see a progress 'swirl' when exporting, importing or generating Previews. Click on it to bring up the activity window with progress bars for all current actions. You can also access it through Window>Show Activity.

Help - Resizing images WITHOUT awt or graphics2D

Hi all.
I have a JSP application running on a shared Tomcat hosting.
My users can send images to the site.
I cannot find a way to resize an image without using AWT or graphics.
(I also cannot switch to headless mode, the JVM is not mine to control)
I tried using ImageIO but crashed because there is no X11 graphics on the server.
I tried using the PJA toolkit, but I could not find a way to RESIZE an image using PJA.
Help ! This is driving me mad.
Thanks !
Shachar Weis.

Jeff,
The printing service should only need to know the size at which you want it printed. At that point they can adjust the PPI to a number that will shrink the print size, but not destroy any pixels.
You can adjust the DPI as you Export if you wish, but that should not be necessary. To change the DPI, choose JPEG Original, say, and click on Edit and you can change the DPI to a higher number, and export.
If you export any photo, open it in Preview, click on Tools and choose Adjust size then you can see the impact of changing the Resolution on inches/or metric measure, which is what the printer can do. In Adjust Size be sure to Deselect the option to Resample -- the latter would otherwise remove pixels and result in a lower resolution.

How to straighten multiple images without cropping?

Hi, I have several archived documents that I would like to straighten, about 1000. I have photoshop elements 8 at home, and photoshop cs5 at work.
When I use the straighten and crop feature in photoshop cs5, it crops it far too short and I lose text. I can't find just a plain automatically straighten feature in cs5. I don't have time to use the ruler tool on each one. Is there a way to change the settings on the straighten and crop function so that it just straightens? Or at least leaves a border of pixels?
Elements has an automatically straighten tool, and it works great, but I can't figure out how to set an action to apply it to all of the items, or even just to use a keyboard shortcut to save time.
Any help would be great, I don't want to have to do each one individually, and each one is crooked by a different margin

What you describe is precisely how Epson default expansion to create bleed works, down the 1/8 inch amount. What printer are you using?
On my Aritsan 50, the dialogue to prevent this looks like the following image:
On my other Epson -- R1900, the dialogue is reached by selecting Page Layout Settings.

Resizing images without pixelation

Hi everyone
This is a topic that everyone seems to be wondering about but
nobody has the answer. If you look at a site like
www.manipulator.com , the screen can be resized and the images will
increase along with it (until a certain point of course) but at no
point do the images pixelate? Where as my images do not matter how
good the quality or picture format.
If anybody has any ideas how this is done I would be
greatful!
Thanks

Mail is resizing images without my permission!!!

I've been trying to send a TIFF file to a printer for a business card. They said my image was all fuzzy, so I checked my Sent folder, and sure enough, it was fuzzy. I assumed it happened again. So I created a new TIFF for them, attached it to an email, then opened the attachment - looked great full screen, very sharp. The printer made a proof for me - fuzzy proof, crap image. So I checked my Sent mail, and sure enough what was sent was not what I attached and viewed before Sending.
Mail is dumbing down my attachments. How do I stop this?

At the bottom of the new message window is the Image Size set to Original?
If all else fails, you could put the tiff into a .zip and send it that way.

How to create photo book from Album without cropping

I just came from vocation and try to make a cool photo book out of my "best pictures" selection. Most images are "as is" from camera, so have "standard" aspect ratio: H/W.
I also happy about composition and would like to keep all or most of it.
I tried several "cool" templates, but can not get results I want: iPhoto randomly place my images on random template, but the painful issue is that it is also randomly crops my images to fit these random layout. It probably try to make it look "cool", but it does not make any sense and does not look cool.
I can do it all manually and select template for every page, also, changing mask for every image (for some minimum of mask still crops more then half of image, so page layout have to be changed). I have about 200 pictures I picked for album and I am not happy about doing it 200 times.
It may work for me if iPhoto just flow images without cropping for fit? Extra bonus would be if I can select images I want "big", "medium" or "small"
Can iPhoto automatically create a simple PhotoBook for printing without killing most images with random and some times more than 50% cropping?

Canon S90 - it is Advanced P&S. When I say crop I does not mean a little bit on sides I mean iPhoto 11 some times crop 50% of image, some times try to zoom on faces. At any rate, most images just rendered useless. Say you have normal landscape picture of person holding some thing in his hands. iPhoto made super wide strip out of it to fit in 1+2 kind of layout, so what you see is upper half with face, object in hands completely out and you can not change mask as at minimal settings it is still cuts more than half of image out.
I tried many Themes, but I can not find one that would not destroy my images, that are very typical, hobbits images, with margin usually big enough for small fit crop, but as it is my trip record I would like to keep (naturally, no?) all details in.
Zoom of face may be cool, but when the rest of image lost, what the point?
I can go one by one, but this is time consuming for 200 images. It just make sense to have "preserve image" settings or "simple" photo book template some where... but I can no find it: all settings in iPhoto are kept to minimum , Apple style

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

Hi Peru Bob,
I've tried two images, the results were:
Image 1
Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
Image 2
Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

Can you automatically downsample images in Keynote without cropping?

Hello All,
I am trying to get Keynote to perform what I think is a pretty basic task, but can't figure out how to make it happen. I am an art teacher and frequently show my students slide shows made from a large database of .jpgs I have amassed. Most of the .jpgs were scanned at high resolutions - roughly 2500px on the long edge. They are made at this size to anticipate improvements in projector resolution in the future. The slideshows I make are at XGA (1024x768) because this is the native resolution of the school's projectors.
I want to be able to drop large numbers of slides into a slideshow and have Keynote to automatically downsample them to fit on an XGA slide without cropping the image. I currently have "Reduce placed images to fit on slides" checked in the General Preferences. This does downsample the images, but does so in a way that fills the slide with the image and crops on one dimension depending on the aspect ratio of the image. So for example, with the two Kertesz images below, the top and bottom is cropped off the first one and the sides off of the second one. Keynote scales it down so that the image fills the entire slide rather than scaling down so the entire image can fit on the slide.
FIG 1a
FIG 2a
I can then go in and resize the image manually in the metrics tab of the inspector so that the full image is represented in each slide (Fig 1b and 2b below). I have to type in the dimension that is being cropped (768 in Fig 1, 1024 in Fig 2). This further downsamples the image fitting the entire image on the slide which is desired. Doing this for each slide can be burdensome though if I am showing slideshows of 100 or so images. My question is if there is a way to get the results below automatically. I would like to drop multiple images into my slideshow and have it be downsampled so that the entire image fits on the slide. Does anyone know how to make Keynote do this? Thanks.

In the layer of interest make sure the vector mask is selected. Then in the Masks panel adjust the feather slider to an amount that looks right.

Cropping/resizing image by pixel dimensions

I am trying to crop or resize an image that is originally 2,122 x 1,415 px | 7.1 x 4.7 in | 300 dpi. I am to crop/resize image to fit 756 x 275 px. However, I don't want to lose the whole image. I would like to use the whole image just adjust it to the dimensions.
How can I accomplish this without creating any distortion or by removing elements by cropping the image?

Hello Slange,
may I propose a solution based on a more mathematical derivation, where I assume the height of 275 px is decisive. The way is the same, if the 765 px width is important.
The reduced copy of 2122 x 1415 provides 412 x 275. To the wished 756 you need: 756 - 412 = 344. Splitting it into two parts I'll get 344 : 2 = 172. These I mount now (The black borders are only for better overview.) to an image with the wished measures 756 x 275:
The white area you can fill it with any suitable color.

How can I resize a photo in iPhoto without cropping it?

I am taking pictures on my iphone 4s and using iphoto to edit them on macbook pro. I need to upload these photos at a size much smaller than what i am able to take with my phone. The only way I see to adjust the size of a photo in iphoto is to crop it. How can I resize without cropping?
Thank you

It's an option in the Export menu.
File -> Export and under the Size option you can choose the maximum you prefer. Export that and upload from the desktop.

What is the BUG FIX for automatic image crop done to all imported Raw files on the 5DIII? I need to be able to get back to the original size image without doing it manually thousands of times using the plug in, that's a huge waste of time.

all you can recommend is an unsupported plug in that forces me to reset each image manually? Can't images be altered in a batched way, or all at once, back to original without having to do them manually one at a time?!!! Time to change software? What is the official line on this problem please?

Images unexpectedly cropped
Yes, this is the official line and it is old news. It is either that or BREAK everyone else's images who shot a Canon 5D-MKIII and didn't crop in-camera.

How to proper resize images and videos at runtime without losing quality?

Hi guys. I need a bit of help here.
I've built a flash site in which i want to resize a movie to the stage. I do it by keeping the proportion, thus i only resize the width and then i resize the height acordingly to the new width but keeping the proportion.
The problem is that my film still looks "pixeled".
I found a website on which the stage resizes dinamically with the movie and the background images without either of them losing quality. Till now i knew that resizing images or videos in flash at authoring or runtime produces pixeled results.
This is the website: http://kampanjeweb.apt.no/jotun/romforrom/. Can someone tell me how do they do it without losing quality? just make the browser windowed and resize the margins to see the effect.
Thanks.

Hello, Venian.
About the video, you could try setting the flash.media.Video's smoothing property to TRUE. This should keep a quality, but you can do nothing if the video has a poor quality. You need a great video.
About the images, you you need to redraw the image each time you resize it. To achieve it, use a combination of Bitmap, BitmapData and Matrix classes. Any doubt, just call again. Here is a simple example:
var scale:Number = .5;
var highQualitySourceImage:Bitmap = ...your image...;
var scaleMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
scaleMatrix.scale(scale, scale);
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData( scale*highQualitySourceImage.width, scale*highQualitySourceImage.height);
bitmapData.draw(highQualitySourceImage, scaleMatrix);
var finalBitmap:Bitmap = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
addChild( finalBitmap );
Cheers,
CaioToOn!

Placing images without resize?

When I put some images into a psd via placement instead of copy/paste, the images are resized, often by a lot. It appears that different resolutions is the reason.
Image sizes are retained in copy/paste, but placement is faster, so I'm wondering if it's possible to retain image sizes via placement without tweaking the resolutions.
Disabling "Resize Image During Place" doesn't help. Neither does changing the W and H values to 100% during placement, as it appears that the images were already resized so that 100% of the placed images are still way off of the original image sizes.
Thanks!

As Wade said, I don't think this is any bug. sounds mor like you are using some sort of hyper-sensitive input device (or misconfigured one) that causes accidental selection and move of existing work.

RESIZING GIF IMAGES WITHOUT LOSING ANIMATION

Is it possible to resize a Gif image without losing animation? I tried but unfortunately lost the animation. I use CS3 Extended. Thanks

No, I don't think so. for that, you'd probably have to import your animation using the Video to Layers option, resize, then rebuild the animation and export it.
