Animation size larger than actual image size after saving as gif?

Hi,
I just created an animation (600x600 pixel) and saved it as gif. Everything seems fine except the grainy quality and the fact that it is nearly twice as large as my actual image size (100%) shown on photoshop. I don't mind the grainy quality but the large size is disturbing... Anyone know why or how to fix this problem?
Any help will be appreciated as it's an anniversary gift and I'm stuck on the last step running out of time . Thanks in advance!
Angela.

The 300GB partition is the partition I am booting off of, and the one I was writing about. Disk0s1 is the EFI partition, 210MB. The other Internal hard drive is the core storage physical volume, already mounted, mounted in the image. Recovery HD is the 650MB system recovery partition.
I rebooted to the recovery partition and used Disk Utility to verify the volume, it said everything checked out alright.
In disk utility, the top entry has this data
     Name :     Internal Hard Drive     Capacity :     319.21 GB (319,213,174,784 Bytes)
     Type :     Logical Volume Group     Available :     16.8 MB (16,777,216 Bytes)
     Disk Status :     Online     Used :     319.2 GB (319,196,397,568 Bytes)
However the other entry, right below it has this
     Mount Point :     /     Capacity :     318.88 GB (318,877,626,368 Bytes)
     Format :     Encrypted Logical Partition     Available :     202.18 GB (202,175,160,320 Bytes)
     Owners Enabled :     Yes     Used :     116.7 GB (116,702,466,048 Bytes)
     Number of Folders :     241,519     Number of Files :     1,246,454
So I guess the reboot fixed my problem, df -h now shows 37% used, but the logical vomume group still shows only 16MB free. Anyways, things seem to be working now.

  • Jpeg looks different than actual Image in Photoshop (saving Issues)

    My image in photoshop has thin lines, but when I save it, the jpeg shows the image with very thick dark lines, looking not like the image in photoshop. Why does it do this? How can I stop PS from doing this to my image? I want the image to look as it does in Photoshop when I save it as a Jpeg.
    This is in Photoshop CS4
    As it should be (using the snipping tool (I can't use the snipping tool as my only option, because it will only capture the size as it is on the screen, not the actual dimensions in Photoshop)
    Saved as a Jpeg; the lines are thicker, and now there is little variation in line weight
    Does anyone have a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Just one comment...  Your lines in your screen grab are NOT thinner, they are simply a good bit lighter.
    You should try to use the proper terminology, because you will end up realizing, when C.Pfaffenbichler helps you get to the bottom of your problem, that you likely are experiencing a gamma/color-management issue causing your pixels to be displayed far more lightly in one case than another.
    Besides your color settings in Photoshop, it will also be helpful to know what color profile is associated with your monitor at the operating system level.
    -Noel
    P.S., I don't know what result you're going for, but the JPEG with the darker lines looks a lot better on a calibrated display.  The screen grab seems too light.

  • How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

    How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?  I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems.  They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos"  in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music.  They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size

    I'm trying to make "Stop motion videos"  in Final Cut EXPRESS by using 100's of still photos and setting them to music.  They are coming out blurry if viewed larger than 4x6 in size.
    I don't understand why this is happening. 

    Quick follow up, since I was on my phone earlier and am back to a real keyboard.
    To access Easy Setup, hit Control Q.
    If you click on the blue discosure triangles, a dropdown menu with about a dozen different presets will be displayed. Select the one you want, (Here, I've selected 720P.)
    Whatever you select for a preset will not be applied until you make a new sequence. (I don't like to have sequences with different properties in the same project so I prefer to make a new project if I change the Easy Setup.)
    Because photo aspect ratios are different than video, I typically put a solid generator of some compatible color on the first track (v1) and put my photos on the track above (v2). Looks better, IMO, than black bars. There are other creative ways to display them. And of course, you could scale them up to fill the frame…but then you probably would have to re-position them.
    Good luck.

  • Signature Scribble field not retaining image file after saving

    I have 2 issues with my PDF dynamic file I sent out

    Thanks Pat.  Tried each, restarted computer each time; tried the "Accept" routine several days ago - it worked briefly and then stopped.  Uninstalled Reader and Flash as well.  Strange thing with Flash, one of my online broker programs provides streaming of CNBC.  When I clicked on the CNBC option to initiate CNBC, I got a message saying that I needed to load Flash.  I did, and it loaded again with no mention of Flash having already been installed.
    Using Internet Explorer works, as well as, clicking on the .pdf file within Windows Explorer (WE).  Expanding the window in WE makes it large enough to read.  I would still like to find a way to open the files as they are designed to open.
    I have done all of the Adobe updates as they have been presented.  Microsoft updates load automatically, and restart my computer in the process.  I do not look to see what the updates have been.  I figure if there was not a need, Microsoft would not make the updates.

  • Image button imports much larger than actual size

    I have a lot of custom image buttons in my Captivate project. I am now trying to scale them down in size, to reduce overall file size of my project. Some of my custom png images show up as 100 px in Photoshop, then when I import them into Captivate, they stay the same. However others, that show as 100px in photoshop, are importing in at 400px! Any ideas why this would happen. The original set was 400px. But I have overwritten the files with smaller ones in the gallery and re-inserted them - but still no luck.  Thanks.

  • Why does my artwork print slightly larger than actual size? - MacOS 10.9.2

    I have an issue which I have no answer.  Every time I print an artwork for product mockup, say a 3x5 card, it prints slightly larger than a 3x5 card.  I have to manually scale my artwork down to 98.5 in the print dialog to get as close as possible to the actual size.  Its not related to a specific printer.  I have an HP printer and a Canon printer and the issue exists exactly the same between the two.  I'm running Illustrator 17.1 on an iMac running MacOS 10.9.2.  Can you please help make this easier for me?

    Are you using PostScript printer drivers (or at least PostScript emulation)? Non PostScript drivers may behave a bit like gremlins.

  • Keep actual image size when rotating and exporting to PDF

    When one rotates an image in a non-right angle in InDesign, the resulting image in the PDF, even if looks the same size of the original image when compared save for being rotated, actually shrink in size. That's noticieable when one saves the image from the PDF as the rotated image appears rotated inside the same size of the original, rather than being larger. I fear it may cause some quality loss at print. Is there any workaround around it?
    Or it is just a previsualization glitch and the file prints normal? (as while importing the PDF in Illustrator seems to keep the original resolution of the image)

    Peroyomas wrote:

    I can't see a difference in size between two copies of the same image when one is rotated in a non-right angle and the other is at zero rotation.
    From the way your question is worded, I'm not sure what you are doing.

    If it looks the same size, what makes you think it is not?

  • Batch Resize photos Larger than a certain size.

    Is there a way to have a script that searches a directory and any image files that are larger than 1000 x 1000 pixels are resized to 500 x 500 pixels and then saved over righting the sources file?
    I am asking because our server has over 40,000 photos all over the place and I would like to reduce the space they take on the server.

    I don't think that getting the file's length is the best way to determine if the file needs resizing. Especially if the file is in a format that supports compression. I think you would end up either setting the test value too low and open a lot of files that don't need resizing or set too high and miss files that do.
    Also using getFiles() without a file mask will get all files and folders in the source folder. You will need to make sure it is an image file before trying to open in Photoshop to resize.
    I think the function below would be a better way to determine if the file needs resizing. It tries to get the XMPMetadata to determine width and height. If that fails because the file does not have metadata it gets the size from Bridge.
    var file = new File('~/desktop/_SLP7637.jpg');
    var resize = needsResizing( file );
    var resizeStr = ''
    resize? resizeStr = 'needs resizing': resizeStr = 'does not need resizing';
    alert(file.fsName+" "+resizeStr);

  • Printing a component that is larger than the paper size

    Hi,
    I am trying to print a component that may be larger than the size of the paper being used. Is there some way to get it to split between pages - ie, if it's larger than the page, it is printed over two or more pages?
    The component in question is a JTextArea. Would it be better to get the text from it and use the graphics drawString rather than the component's paint method?
    The relevant part of the code is below.
    Thanks,

  • Xp_smtp_sendmail file size is larger than allowed max sizer of 65536 bytes

    Hi,
    We have a daily routine which generates a text file and runs xp_smtp_sendmail with the @messagefile argument to use the text file in the body of the email.
    It has always worked fine but recently we have been receiving the following error when trying to run it:
      Error: @messagefile "Drive\Filename.txt" file size is larger then allowed max size of 65536 byte
    Funnily enough the file in question is 66,220 bytes so only just big enough to exceed this limit. The file in question is created from scratch on a daily basis so maybe this limit has always been in place
    and we are now exceeding it. My question is can we increase this limit somewhere and if so where? The SQL Statement I'm running is:
    EXEC master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
    @To = '[email protected]',
    @From =  '[email protected]',
    @messagefile = 'Filepath\Filename.txt',
    @subject='Test please ignore',
    @server='smtp.servername.domain'
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has!

  • Initial time machine backup larger than actual computer harddrive

    I've got an iMac with a 1TB harddrive and am trying to use a time machine set up to back up my harddrive. The external harddrive I'm using for my back up is also 1TB. I currently have about 135GB of free space on my iMac's harddrive and my external drive is completely empty. When I try to back up using time machine it tells me that the back up is 1.2TB and cannot fit on my 1TB external harddrive. What would cause the initial back up to be larger than the actual computers harddrive? Is there anything I can do to rectify this issue without me needing to purchase a larger external harddrive for back up?

    That means you're trying to back up about 865 GB to a 1 TB drive; and that's not large enough for Time Machine.
    Time Machine not only keeps copies of everything currently on your Mac, but also previous copies of things you've changed or deleted, so it needs a lot more space than the data it's backing-up. 
    What's causing your immediate problem is, TM adds about 20% to the estimated size of the backup, for workspace on the TM drive and in case the estimate is too small.  So 865 GB + 173 GB = over 1 TB.
    Long-term, you need a much larger drive for Time Machine, at least 1.5 TB, probably 2 TB.
    Short-term, you can squeeze your backups onto the 1 TB drive by excluding some big stuff per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #10 and running a backup.
    Then remove the exclusion, and run another backup.  Since the second backup will be much smaller, the additional 20% won't be so large as to exceed the size of the TM drive.
    But TM won't be able to keep backups very long, and if it needs to do a large backup, there may not be room.

  • JPG images smaller after saving out of Safari

    Maybe I am missing some totally basic knowledge about how Mac OS X handles images or Safari on Mac OS X is very different in this regard as compared to other browsers/systems:
    I open a picture in Safari and it says in the title that this image has a size of 1271x1526 pixels. Now I want to save that picture by right-clicking into it and then left-clicking on the option "save image to desktop". That it does, all is well so far, but when I later open that image with preview it's much smaller than it was before. So I used a third-party image browser (CocoViewX) and there I get the full details, the image in the jpg file now has a size of only 153x184 pixels.
    If, instead, I click copy in the context menu in Safari and then paste in CocoViewX and export from there in the same format (jpg), the image is full-size, 1271x1526 pixels, again.
    What is this? Am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting I have to change so I can save the picture in full size right out of Safari without having to copy and paste via another program?
    Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
    MacMini and also a PC and an iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Dear scapesuiter,
    thank you for your input, I wish it were that simple, but this problem occurs after I click the thumbnail and have the complete image in a new browser window. I see the whole image (even have to scroll because it's bigger than my screen) and right in that large image I right-click ...
    It almost seems as if Mac OS X (or Safari) is automatically reducing the image size whilst saving it. But in Mac OS X this also doesn't seem to be a kind of thumbnail or so, I double-click the image in the Finder and then I see it in preview and when I click "original size" it's much smaller than my screen as opposed to before saving it from Safari (see above).
    Again, thanks anyway, can you think of another reason why "it" might do this?

  • Why is audio file size larger than in Flash?

    I use both Flash and Captivate. Final file size is a big consideration. I wondered why the file size of the audio in Captivate is almost twice as large as the same audio if it's used in Flash. I'm using the same audio settings for both. Does anyone know what causes the audio compression to be different in Captivate than in Flash?

    OK, sounds like memory will be fine, so let's look at some other stuff...
    Is it only one particularly keynote presentation that slows up for you, or does keynote behave in the same way even if you start from scratch and create a new presentation?
    If it's just the one presentation then there's probably some content (possibly video) within it that KN takes exception to. Sometimes a single problematic slide or piece of content can slow down the whole app.
    Is the problematic presentation one that was imported from Powerpoint? If so, import it again and look carefully at the import error/warning logs.
    Before you start keynote, start up activity monitor - which will give you an indication of what programs are using all the CPU/memory/disk bandwidth etc. You'll then have an idea of whether it is KN maxing out on CPU or whether anything else is dragging the system down.
    Another thing you could try would be to log in to a different user account on your machine (create one if necessary) and then try opening the presentation from within this different account. If this works for you then it suggests a problem with the keynote plist file in your original user account.
    I don't know if it'd be acceptable to you, but if you could post a link to your problematic presentation then I could download it and try it out on my normally reliable Keynote on one of my computers. (Make sure that you've ticked the box to embed all media in the presentation)
    Hope some of this is helpful,
    Mike.
