Viewing Photo as "Picture Size"

Does anyone know what happened to the option "Picture Size" under the "View" menu in Photoshop CS6? It was great for viewing as picture size before sharpenning. I know the option 100% is there, but it is often larger than the actual photo size.
Also, How did I get in this section called Photoshop for Beginners. I've been using photoshop for 10 years?

Thank you for your reply. Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about. I found out yesterday that the latest update to CS6 took out "Print Size". It's unfortunate.

Photo Page picture sizes

Is there a way to control the sizes of pictures displayed when one clicks on individual thumbnails in photo pages in iWeb. They display at 600 pixel size along the longer side. If one then drags and drops them onto the desktop and subsequently opens the resulting file in Photoshop the downloaded picture is a full 800 pixels along its longer side. This is more than I prefer and makes for a long upload time for websites with hundreds of pictures. A 400 - 500 pixel size would suit me better. Is anyone aware of some method to change this default picture size? Maybe some plist hack?
PowerBook 15" 1,67GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks for your reply. By dragging and dropping I was referring to the end viewers of the website being able to drag the pictures to their desktops in a fairly high resolution. Sorry for not being clear about this. The thing is I don't want the end viewers to be able to have images of more than approx. 400-500 pixels. All my images start off in Aperture and wind up in iWeb via the Aperture2iLife software from lightboxsoftware.com. To simplify the workflow I'm trying to keep other apps out of the loop, hence no iPhoto.
I think my solution may have to be to Publish to a folder from within iWeb, find the appropriate images in their folders and batch run them through an Action in Photoshop to resize them to a smaller size before uploading the website. The downside of this of course is the added step in the workflow including another application in the loop but I guess the upside is I can use the opportunity to stick a watermarking routine in the batched Action.

Can't view Photos in large size, Export as Jpeg or to iWeb

Hello,
This has been frustrating me for months and I don't know what to do to resolve this.
I have an iPhoto library with about 6,000 images in it. Here are some of the sympyoms I am experiencing:
If I double click on an image all I get is a lo res black background with a dark gray exclamation mark on it.
If I select several images and create a gallery to sync to my iPod Touch, none of those images appear and will not sync.
If I create another gallery to export to iWeb, same thing. I am unable to create a new iWeb page.
I also cannot export to any file format if I do multiple selections. I can only do one at a time.
I can edit most images I just cannot preview them at a larger scale.
I can view the original CR2 files in the finder and they open in Preview and PhotoShop no problem.
This is all after rebuilding my iPhoto Library multiple times, deleting and reimporting every image from a backup, running BatChmod with the settings that were recommended...
I am at a loss. I don't know what I did. Everything was fine until a few months ago. I'm not sure if it was an OS update that did this or what.
Any help would be most appreciated.

The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails then it's likely that you have a damaged database:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Photo stream picture size

I am sure this must have been covered before, but I am obviously not using the correct search terms to locate the answer.
I have photo stream active for Aperture and not iPhoto. If I want to just use the photo stream in Aperture am I correct that on a Mac my photos will be automatically downloaded in full resolution? While if I am on my iPhone or iPad my photo stream photos will only be in a resolution that minimize storage space.
Hence, if I have both my Mac and iPhone / iPad in front of me I should use Aperture rather than the mobile device for editing and uploading? That is, if I want a better edit, keeping in mind it is only my iPhone, I should edit on the Mac?
Am I understanding photo stream and Aperture correctly?

Where do the photos originate?
Do you take (some of) them with your iPhone?
Do you take (some of) them with your iPad?
Do you take (some of) them with a camera and upload them to your iPhone, your iPad, and/or your Mac?
The path makes a difference.
Here's my understanding of the matter:
Pictures that come to an iPhone or iPad via Photo Stream come in at "a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space," but pictures taken on an iPhone or iPad will be stored at the full resolution of that device's camera and uploaded to Photo Stream at the same resolution.
Pictures that are uploaded from a standalone camera or memory card to your Mac should come in at whatever resolution the interface supports (usually full carema resolution) and be uploaded to Photo Stream at the same resolution. Pictures downloaded from Photo Stream to your Mac should come in at full resolution as stored on Photo Stream.
I am unable to make a blanket statement about the resolution of uploads from a standalone camera or memory card to an iPhone or iPad. It may depend on the connection method.
If somebody else here has insight into that last point or sees a mistake in the previous two points, please jump in.

How can I view photo stream pictures on my pc?

My photo stream folder on my pc isn't syncing with my iphone. I took it to the Apple store and they told me I had logged into icloud incorrectly and they fixed the issue for me and my photo stream worked well for one day and now I can't sync photos with my pc again. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

TouchCopy is frequently recommended for archiving SMSs. Much easier to view them through software like that than by messing around in the backup files (not for the faint of heart).

How can I make a picture fit entirely in the photo box in a book. The picture size is small, but the it only shows part of the picture, and the zoom is all the way down.

I am trying to make a Photo Book using IPhoto for my granddaughter's wedding. I am using 6 pictures per page, as I have many pictures to add to book.
The picture size is small. But when I zoom is all the way down to the end to make smaller. Doesn't go far enough. When I try to put a picture in the square spot, it cuts off part of the picture. Has anyone else had this problem, and could help me out. I really would like to put on each page even more pictures, but that is not an option with IPhoto. I have used other sites to make books. This is my first try with IPhoto. I may have to revert to the old familiar ones. Wanted to give this one a try. My granddaughter leaves for Germany on the 21st to join her marine husband. I am quickly running out of time. (The wedding was this past Saturday)

Place it the book, right click on it and fit to frame

I am using CS6 InDesign on a PC using a Windows 7 operating system.
Due to eyesight issues, I need to have the menu bars of programs in easy-to-read font and picture size. Specifically, the menu bar across the top (File, Edit, View, etc.), and the menu bar on the left side with the graphic depiction of options.
In earlier versions of Windows (e.g. XP), whenever I changed the screen resolution on my computer to a lesser resolution in order to show the link icons on my desktop in a larger, more readable size, all the software programs, including yours, appeared on my screen with the menu bars in the larger font size that I needed.
However, in Windows 7, this is not the case. Even though I have selected the lowest resolution, making the icons on my desktop extremely large, I cannot read the options across the top menu bar of your program, nor the pull-down menu items that they contain. I cannot see the graphic depictions of options on the left side of the screen. They are all too small. How can I make your program increase the size?

NO way.

In putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I wnt to red

I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
That should do what you are loking for.

When you email from iPhoto, you have a choice as to the size of the picture - choose medium and your friends will be able to see them. By the way, do your friends click on the photo attachment in the mail to open it?

Viewing photo folder as a picture.

When I bought my mac last week in the shop the genius had all his phptps on one folder. In that one folder he has, say 30 different folders all with photos in them. Now instead of viewing the folder as a folder, he was viewing the folder as a pic, one of the pics in that particular folder. How is this done.
I have over 50 folders of pics, holiday, car, kids, wedding and wanted to view them as pictures instead of the boring folder view
I hope you understand?
Thanks

TO be honest I dont think it was coverflow. I could see on the screen 20 or so different folders, thumbnails, and they were all different photos instead of folders. EG. Instead of 1 lot being a boring folder view the pic was of a photo in the folder itself. So for eg when looking at the screen I click on a wedding pic and it opens the wedding folder. etc
It is as if the folder (boring blue folder) has been changed to one of the pics inside that particular folder. So instread of looking at a page full of boring blue folders you are looking at different photos and behind all those photos is the folder they represent

Sharing a photo from Finder to Facebook reduces picture size

Yesterday I installed 10.8.2 upgrade and I tried sharing from finder to facebook. Picture size in finder is 720px × 437px and after sharing 346px × 210px in Facebook. How can I keep original size of the photo after share?

iPhoto for iOS always optimizes the shared photo for the site it's being shared to. The only way to edit a photo and export it that I know of is to share it to iTunes. Unfortunately that means to get the photo you have to sync with your computer, export it from the file sharing section of iTunes then share it to the site you want to put it on.
To get around this limitation I use an alternate app. My favorite is Photoforge2. It will work with any photo you have in the Photos app and export at the file size you want. You can leave the file at its original size or make it smaller. Your original file will remain untouched and the edited file can be shared back to the Camera Rool in the Photos app if desired. You can also share to a variety of sites like Photobucket or email the photo.

"Some photos need to be prepared to view them at full size" message when starting slideshow

I'm pretty new to iPhoto so I'm sorry if these questions are obvious to you, but they're not to me!
From the "Photos" section on iPhoto, with no photos selected, I accidentally started a slideshow with all my photos by pressing the play button on the keyboard and got this message:
"Some photos need to be prepared to view them at full size. Do you want to continue using the current size or prepare the photos so that only full size images are used? This may take some time." With these options: Cancel / Prepare Photos / Continue Playback.
I pressed "Esc" on the keyboard and it clicked "Prepare Photos" instead of "Cancel" as I expected, it started the process and I clicked "Cancel" to stop it, and the slideshow started. When the slideshow was playing, everything froze, I pressed cmd-alt-esc, no window appeared and iPhoto quit immediately. Could it have caused damages to the library? Could it be a reason to restore the iPhoto Library from Time Machine? I didn't get any error message when I reopened iPhoto.
Not to leave the process incomplete later I decided to start another slideshow and this time I clicked "Prepare Photos" and let it complete the process. Now when I start another slideshow I don't get that message anymore.
I have no idea what this process did to my photos and couldn't find an answer anywhere. This library is very important to me, so I'm wondering if I should restore the iPhoto Library from a Time Machine backup.
Could canceling the process the first time have caused any damage to my photos?
What is this preparation? What did it do to my photos? Have my photos been resized, or somehow modified?
Thanks

Ok, thank you very much. I still don't know exactly what the "preparation" did to my photos but now I guess that nothing bad happened. Thanks

How to view photos on SD card without importing them?

I have a 16 gb iPad, with not much available space left. I have an Apple photo kit already.
Is there a way to view the photos at large size _without_ importing them?
Can anyone recommend an app that does this?
Thanks for any help.

Install Dropbox on your computer and put all your pictures in the Dropbox.
Once you install Dropbox on your iPad, you,ll be able to see all those pictures on your computer's Dropbox.

Viewing Photos on a Nano

I need some guidance as to where I am going wrong..
I have set iTunes to sync the photos from a folder I have set up for my Nano, it tells me it is syncing the pics etc..
But how do I view them on my Nano?? Under "Photos" I only have "Slideshow Settings". I cant seem to find any option for viewing photos or for starting a slideshow.
Like I said, transferring the photos to the Nano isnt a problem, its viewing them thats the issue.
I have read throught the first 40 pages on here and watched the video tutorial etc, but none of them show how to view!!
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mark

Sorted it out!!!!!
It would appear that iTunes doesnt bother looking at the memory used up by photos when it shows the available space on the Nano. It performs the syncing of the photos with iTunes, but until there is more space available than the initial folder size you are trying to sync it wont complete the syncing by transferring them to the Nano.
I have just deleted some songs off and for some reason it then completed the sycning and transferred the pics to the Nano.
Now I have more menu options under "Photos" and I can view the pictures!!
Thanks
