Slideshow photo size in "My Album" slideshow

I recently created several albums in "My Albums" (love the look!), but I am puzzled at how small the photos are when I view them as a slideshow. They are approx. 1 3/4" x 1 1/2", compared to the slideshow in "My Gallery" where the photos about fill the screen. (And there those awful annoying shadows below each photo making my subjects looking like they are deformed with extra legs etc). Is there something that I am doing wrong? Did I miss something when I was setting up the pages/albums to make the slideshow photos different sizes? Right now the photos that appear in the album covers are even larger than those in the slideshow.

Hi OT,
Thank you for your input. Before I read your reply last night, I went through some of your old postings and did find a couple resolutions. You replied to a post from snipa (Norway), Aug. 22, 08, subject: "Comments on web sits (sic) photo" - then Mermaid 1632 asked a similar question - she wrote Oct 14th. You replied telling Snipa and mermaid on how to add the comment button to a website. In that reply you showed a picture of the photo/slideshow inspector options. So I went to that setting in my iWeb And there I found that the setting for large photo in slideshow was not ticked. It also gave me an option to unclick that awful shadow option. So I went to one of my pages and did the clicking and unclicking. I thought that would solve my problem. The shadow option worked fine, but the option for large photo, even though it did enlarge the photo somewhat, it still was not the full screen size that it used to be. It is now approx. 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 - whereas last night when I wrote it was only 2 1/2 x 1 3/4.
You asked about my browser - I use Safari 3.2.1, and Firefox 3.0.5. I cleared the cache in both - that did not make a difference. I have a very old version of IE - so that would not even load the Gallery pages, so no point in even considering that browser. I had a friend with a PC and IE to check and she said that the photos in slideshow (that I had not changed) were still very small.
Let's say that I settle for the 4 x 3 inch photos in slideshow it looks like that I am going to have to edit each photo page and make those changes one at a time. What do you think? Is there any way I can make the same changes on all the photo pages in one editing, rather than doing one at a time?
I appreciate your help. That old posting gave me two great suggestions!

  • Fill screen with zoom for small photo sizes (as in slideshow)?

    Front facing iPhone 4S camera sized photos are too small in iPhoto. Is it possible to set a default to fill screen with zoom for all photo sizes (as in slideshow)? Seems like the old iPhoto worked like this.

    That's what I was afraid of!  I wish it would still scale photos to fill the window also if they're smaller  than the window size (not just 100%), like it used to in older versions of iPhoto. Especially irritating, since the problem photos are from an Apple product, the front facing camera of the iPhone4s.  I already added my complaint to "feedback".
    Thanks anyway.

  • Photo size and uploading to Apple

    I'm in the process of making a quite large iPhoto book for my SIL for her b'day. The photos are a compiltion from many of mine, and others sent to me by family members. They are all different sizes, resolution, color and B/W.
    After getting them organized, doing a bit of fixing on PS, I now am ready to get them into iPhoto.
    Is it wise to take them all into Lightroom where I can do an easy batch change of the resolution? I have read where they should be around 300. It is easy to change them and the test prints I did at home looked ok, even on the small ones that aren't too big to start with. On the export menu of Lightroom, I have the option of stating whether I want them to be exported at JPG, Tiff etc., and I can change the resolution and photo size too.
    I probably would export them as JPG, 300 res. and not change their size. Is this ok for the iPhoto books?
    Also, if they are of a higher resolution, I assume it will take quite a while to upload them to Apple even with high speed fiberoptic cable internet service.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks, Allie

    Allie:
    DO NO USE Lightroom as it messes up the metadata and makes the files not useable in iPhoto. You do not have to preprocess the files to set the dpi to 300 specifically. The only important feature of the file is the pixel dimensions. If the pixel dimensions are large enough as you state you can leave them as is. iPhoto will fit them into the frame you choose and the dpi will be determined that way. No matter what size the files are the book is converted into a pdf file for uploading and printing. My last book of nearly 100 pages came in at approx. 25MB.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

  • Photos missing from new albums. We just spent days making up new albums, now albums are empty!!

    A little backround as we're new to this.
    We imported all our photos onto our new Macbook pro from our old Macbook.
    Then created smart albums for each year to sort the photos.
    Then copied photos from each year into normal albums, so we could delete and edit the photos.
    We then deleted the smart albums after we had finished copying and pasting the photos we wanted.
    Everything worked fine until we went on holiday, so I shut the computer down.
    Now I've started it back up and all the new albums are totally empty?!!
    Please help!!!!

    We imported all our photos onto our new Macbook pro from our old Macbook
    Did you import the library from the old MB into a library on the new MB?  If so that was the wrong way to move your library from the old MB to the new MB.
    Then created smart albums for each year to sort the photos.
    Then copied photos from each year into normal albums, so we could delete and edit the photos.
    The correct way to move photos from a smart album into a regular album is to select the photos in the SA and use the File ➙ New Album menu option.  That immediately create a new album with the contents of the SA.  No need to copy or paste (if that's that you did as that would duplicate photos rather than point to the orignals. Remember albums are like playlists in iTune.  Just pointers to the tracks and not actual files.
    We then deleted the smart albums after we had finished copying and pasting the photos we wanted.
    How did you go about this?  Did you delete just the smart album or the phtoos in the SA?  If it were the latter then you deleted the photos from the library entirely including from all other albums, slideshows, books or whatever they might have been in. That's because what's in albums are pointers to the original photos in their Events.

  • Maintaining Photo Sequence from An Album To A Memory Stick (Flash Drive)

    In iPhoto '11, Mac OS x 10.6.7, I want to copy the precise photo sequence I have in an album to a memory stick, for input into a photo frame (so the photos will play in proper sequence in the photo frame slideshow mode). Problem is the photos exported from the album to the stick lose the sequence I arranged in the album. Within the album I did a batch change and separated the photos by 1 minute, which I thought would "cement" the sequence of the photos from the album to the stick.  Wrong.  The photos exported to the stick kept their original date / time imported (also called modified) and thus did not keep the sequence I established in the album.  FYI, all these photos were originally hard photos and were scanned into iPhoto library and later put into an album - thus the sequence within the album was manually arranged because the original input scanning was random.  So, now that I have nicely sequenced photos within an album, how do I export and maintain the sequence from an album onto a stick?
    Thanks,
    H

    The photos exported to the stick kept their original date / time imported (also called modified) and thus did not keep the sequence I established in the album. 
    When you modify the date of the Photos in iPhoto you change the Exif metadata of the shot. This is standard photo metadata and how every photo app tracks the date and time of the photograph.
    When you export to the Finder (as you do when you send them to the memory stick) it uses File metatada to sort. This is not the same as Exif and the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So this trick won't work for you. You need to use something that the Finder understands and will sort on
    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Set your photos in the order you want
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • Is there anyway to stop iPhoto 9.6 creating a new unnamed album within a named album when I drag a new photo into the named album.  for example:  There is a album called Fred.  I have a new photo of Fred imported into the Last import Folder.  I wante

    is there anyway to stop iPhoto 9.6 creating a new unnamed album within a named album when I drag a new photo into the named album.  for example:  There is a album called Fred.  I have a new photo of Fred imported into the Last import Folder.  I wanted to drag it into the album called Fred but iPhoto creates a new unnamed album within Fred.
    Any ideas please.  I am using Yosemite 10.1.1
    Many thanks Jaz Eilles

    Sounds like you have a folder with an album named fred inside of it.  Folders can only hold other folders, albums, slideshows, etc. but not just photos.  So you must be sure to drop the photo directly onto the album titled fred that resides inside that folder otherwise it will create a new album.
    So expand the folder so the fred album is visible and drop the new photo onto the album.

  • How to find original iPhoto Album photos in Library (by Album content)

    I have run out of Macbook space (OSX 10.7.5) and want to put all my photos on an external hard drive and share them between MacBook and iMac (no cloud please).  I want to do this by "Album" name because that's how they are organized.  I don't get the "events" thing in iPhoto, nor am I interested in the "Faces" stuff.  Just simple file access is all I want. 
    QUESTION 1:  How can I find the original photos after exporting by album?  I want to delete these permanently from the Library -- from my MAC.
    QUESTION 2:  Is there a smarter way to get these photos onto my external drive than using "export?"  And, is there a way to re-size a batch of files as opposed to one by one?  I made all my camera photos the largest size possible, one reason I've run out of disk space.  But to individually re-size would be impossible.
    Note:  I'm in a mess with photos.  Have 20K on MacBook and about 25K on my iMac.  There are 8 different iPhoto Libraries on my iMac, created by me in an effort to organize but I didn't know what I was doing and they are a total mess.  My goal is to get them all into this hard drive from both computers then start all over again.  But they need to be by album.  I'm not an "Event" person -- doesn't make sense to me, so I've put all my photos in albums.  When I start over I may not use iPhoto.  Thinking of going back to Windows actually.

    Sorry I'm terrible at explaining and even using my macbook haha. Let me try again. I imported some photos that I wanted to group together into an album. I forgot to create the album before importing a new set of photos which then took the place of the previous ones in the "last import" album. Is there anywhere or any way I can easily find the selection of photos I forgot to put into an album together without having to select them one by one from the "all photos" section? These would be the only pictures in my Photos application that haven't been organized into an album yet if that helps; however, these photos were not taken on the same date.

  • Can I reduce the size of the album icons in my library?

    I have a large iTunes library, and it helped tremendously in older versions to be able to adjust the size of the album icons in my library view so that I would not have to scroll for hours to find something. Is there a feature for this in version 11? I have looked but cannot find it.

    You'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of these:
    Some Image Editors That Support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Imagerie - $38
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60 
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    Xee 2.1 - free
    My personal preference would be for Photoshop Elements for Mac. Most of these will let you select and copy a head from one photo, paste it into another photo, resize and place where you need it.
    PSE has a specific feature just for that function.  I belive the Adobe site for PSE has a demo video of that feature.

  • How do I create a digital frame w/o decreasing the photo size?

    I want to frame my photos & upload them to my website. When I use the frame tool, it decreases the photo size & has a large background, which I don't want.

    Perhaps the better title for this would've been "How do I create a digital frame w/o INCREASING CANVAS SIZE?"
    I have this same problem on Elements 10 and I can't find an answer. It's not because hawaiiski is using Themes. When you apply a frame to the photo through Content > Frames, it decreases the image size on screen and increases canvas size around the framed photo. It's the checkered transparent canvas. But I just want the photo and the frame as a flattened rectangular image, as a jpg, to post in an online album. Just a simple 10 point black frame. I've searched a lot but can't find an easy and/or accurate way to do this. Is there a way to auto-crop the canvas size to the edges of the framed photo? I do the Marquee > Image > Crop that snaps to the edges, but it always leaves a little canvas on one or more sides and I have to crop again. Some people say to apply frames by increasing canvas size, but the design options are limited to solid colors, and it takes longer to do.
    Why does Elements have to add the canvas around a framed photo and why isn't there an easier way to crop to the edges? I do dozens of photos at a time and can't be cropping every photos twice just for frames.

  • Artwork & Photo sizes?

    Hi Kurt
    This puzzles me too.
    How do you know you are saving a photo at 600dpi with 7x5 dimensions? Where is the 7x5 part stored - meta data in a particular application?
    I've experimented with a variety of images in my iPhoto library which only contains files in .jpg format. It doesn't make any sense to me but what seems to be happening is that if the longest side of the image is >= 600 pixels then Pages scales the image to be 300pt on that side.
    Pages appears to use 1 point as it's smallest internal measurement.
    If the image is < 600 pixels on the longest side then it scales the image to be one pixel per point.
    Why 300pt? I've no idea and it might be entirely random. I note however that the number is exactly half the 600dpi resolution of my printer.
    I'm not sure that 600 pixels is the precise threshold where it scales to 300pt but it is my guess with the images that I had to play with.
    I don't know if that is of any help.

  • Hi, I am having trouble getting an album to download. I have tried it on both my iPhone and laptop through iTunes but neither works. I am wondering if it could be the size of the album stopping it downloading (212 Tracks) Any Ideas?

    Hi, I am having trouble getting an album to download. I have tried it on both my iPhone and laptop through iTunes but neither works. I am wondering if it could be the size of the album stopping it downloading (212 Tracks) Any Ideas?

    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~)  refers to your Home directory.
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.

  • I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s.  I was given the choice of small, medium or large the first time I took a picture.  Now I have no idea how to change it to medium.  Can anyone help?

    I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s.  The first time I took a pic it asked if I wanted smalll,  medium or large and listed the pixels.  I chose small but am now finding that is too small.  Can anyone help me set it to medium now?  I can't find any setting for that.  I'm a newby to iPhones and have no idea what I'm doing.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    By "sending" do you mean sending email?
    If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
    My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
    I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
    To my  knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

  • How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as on my Mac? And, not just Collections/Events/Year?

    How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as they are on my Mac in iphoto? I want to see more than just a sort by Collection/Event/year.

    You'll need to wait for all these things to come out to beta testing for that kind if detailed help. But at the moment it seems that you make the Albums in your  Photos.app on the Mac or iOS device and these then turn up on the Library in the Cloud. I can see no way to create albums in a web browser, and iPhoto doesn't communicate with the Library.
