When dragging photos to desktop, what settings are used?

When a photo is dragged out of iPhoto and dropped anywhere in the Finder, what settings are used for that implicit export? E.g., what JPEG quality? It seems to export the full size.
Can't seem to find this documented anywhere!

In tests Old Toad reckoned that it was equivalent to about 8 on Photoshop's scale of 12.
Typically when I export via the file menu I select the highest quality. If iPhoto uses something less than that, then I'll stop dragging and return to the file menu export.
Doesn't quite work like that.
If you have an edited photo then there is a single generation of compression applied. If you export at any setting other than Maximum the file will be smaller. At maximum the file will quite likely be larger - less compression applied to the data.
As to which is best to use? Depends on what you're using this jpeg for - but remember this, exporting via dragging gets none of the metadata you've added in iPhoto (Keywords, Location, titles, descriptions etc)

  • What PDF settings are used when creating DPS articles?

    When you create a PDF file using Acrobat Distiller or InDesign you can modify settings such as font subsets, image down-sampling and compression which will have an impact on the final file size. Does anyone know what settings are used when articles are rendered in PDF format in DPS and can the settings be modified? Specifically, what type of compression is applied to images? If I were to place two images on a page, a png and a jpg with medium quality, would they be embedded in the PDF as is or re-compressed in another format and/or level of quality?

    Thanks for your help.
    So images placed in an InDesign retain their original file format and are unzipped when the article is loaded in the app.
    I'm assuming that if compression is applied to the original image files it can have an impact on performance. If you were to use jpeg files in a document they would need to be unzipped and decompressed. I've read other forum posts that suggest the iOS jpeg decompression engine is too slow to present a fluid user experience in a DPS app. The combined processing time of unzipping and decompressing jpegs files may steer me towards the png format.

    When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

    There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
    Does it play in your Mac?
    What brand of disks are you using?

  • TS3276 I cannot send any email that has photos. and cannot drag photos to desktop

    I cannot send any email with photos attached.  Also cannot drag photos to desktop. keeps asking for password or email sent is "failed"

    Thanks Larry, I am using the default account that was used by the previous version of iPhoto, I did not change any settings when I installed 11. The program deos not seem to give me an option to use an alternate. When I try to send photos I receive a message that the program does not recognize my username/password as follow; 
    "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."

  • Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?

    Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?  Of course the GPS location feature will need to be on in order for this to work.  But the idea here would be to optimize battery life by disabling the 'call home' requests of apps.  The settings profile should also support downloads as I would like to download and allow it when I am on WiFi but not so much when I am using my cellular data.

    No, this is not possible as the sandboxed nature of iOS would not allow any app to modify another app like that. Such a feature would have to be enabled by Apple as a part of iOS itself. You can submit feedback to Apple about the idea if you wish to.

    Regards

    Hi Vinay,
    1. For DP_PROC_TY  you need to give the transaction type or R/3 document type you want to use for creating direct material POs. Could be ECDP given in the standard or copy of which you might  have created.
    2. For CT_PROC_TY it is either PCTR or GCTR depending what you want to create local contract or GOA.
    3. TEND_TYPE can have BID, RFCR etc depending on what type of bid invitaion you want to create form sourcing cockpit or as follow on bid invitaion.
    Ragards,
    RRK.

  • Why can't i drag photos from desktop to iphoto

    why can't i drag photos from desktop to iphoto all of a sudden?

    From iPhoto help:
    To import photos from a hard disk:
    Do one of the following:
    Drag one or more photos or a folder of photos from the Finder to the iPhoto main window.
    Drag one or more photos or a folder of photos from the Finder to the iPhoto icon in the dock.
    In iPhoto, choose File > “Import to Library.” Then select the photos you want to import and click Import.

  • Are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

    are there any events to script a component when dragged and dropped into the parsys area?

    The cq:listeners node of a component's cq:EditConfig has a number of events that fire with relation to the edit mode drag'n'drop stuff. You would probably want to hook one or more of the insert ones (beforeinsert, beforechildinsert, afterinsert, afterchildinsert).

  • Making the move to 16:9, but totally confused about what settings to use!

    Hi, It seems to me that since all new TV's being sold are wide-screen, it is time for me to stop making videos in 4:3. But I am completely stumped by the procedure to work in 16:9. I have shot my footage in standard definition, 16:9. The final product will be a DVD created in DVD Studio Pro. I would like the picture to fill a widescreen TV, and.... when played on a 4:3 screen, I would like it to fill the width of the screen and be letterboxed on top and bottom.
    I think that I am correct to capture this footage into Final Cut Express, using Easy Setup, and choosing 'Anamorphic'. At least that gives me a 16:9 screen in FCE.
    But can someone tell me what settings to use in DVDSP when I when I import that video? I tried to import Anamorphic video into DVDSP, and went to Preferences, and chose 16:9 Letterbox. I got a wide screen, but my footage came in as a squished 4:3 image. I'm totally at a loss, and would very much appreciate any help you can give.
    Thanks very much, Bob

    Yes, Anamorphic is the Easy Setup you'd want to use in FCE.
    When I say it's distorted, that means anamorphic is recorded to tape squished (much like how it imports into DVDSP for you) and that the format demands being unsqueezed during playback. Sorry, if I scared you.
    The encoding settings are also available in DVDSP's Preferences under the Encoding tab.
    Also - and this is the single most important element of this workflow - in addition to setting the default Display Mode to 16:9 Letterbox, be sure to confirm that this is not overridden (for whatever reason) after you've placed your clips onto a track. So check the Inspector and make sure Display mode is correct. (It's been known to happen once in a blue moon and, if not readjusted, will mean that your DVD will not display correctly on any proper setup)

  • HT4995 Internationally using Location Services without having data charges.  What settings should use on my iPhone 5?

    I'm traveling to Europe and I want to use Location Services without having data charges.  What settings should use on my iPhone 5?  I want to be able to use Trip Advisor City Guides Application to tour around cities for free.  I have a Verizon International Plan for my trip, but it is still pricey.  I would like to keep my iPhone cell services on for incoming calls, but I want to prevent international data charges.  Thanks for your help!

    You don't "choose" to use th 3g network.
    If you have paid for it in your plan and 3g coverage is available, your phone will automatically use it when necessary.
    3g provides faster internet speeds than 2g, so you can watch video or download stuff faster. Wifi is normally faster than 3g.
    Your iphone gps is "assisted", meaning it uses network data to calculate your position.
    Also, you would still need the network to download maps, directions etc as they are not on your device.

    Here are crops from the bottles and cell phones at 100% resolution:
    The Flash zoom-out and zoom-in animation is done in programming the code of the web page, as you can see by "Inspecting the Element" on the web browser page:
    I cannot give you any further information or assistance, as I don't deal with web programming.
    As far as I can tell, the "technique" used here is pretty straight forward: 
    Take a picture with a digital camera, then program the web page to repeat the image a bunch of times and display the zooming in and out in Flash animation.
