Are thumbnails smaller than 1024px possible?

Hi all,
I'm an Aperture lover and have looked into this before but thought I'd run it by the group more succinctly than has been touched on a few times here before...
I normally use Aperture for handling big fat juicy RAWs and all is hunky dory but I've "inherited" a couple of image libraries consisting of a few tens of thousands of small filesize JPEGs, just a few hundred KB per image.
This means that due to the 1024px thumbnails that are created automatically by Aperture, 10GB of images yields a 16GB Aperture library (no previews remember, just thumbnails).
Is there anything at this stage I can do about this?
I've had a dig in Aperture's preferences file but nothing jumps out at me.
I fully understand this isn't how Aperture is meant to be used and I don't normally, it's just I'd love to use Aperture to manage these few collections of small filesize images.
This is all using referenced files by the way - would Aperture still create those 1024px thumbnails if the images were "managed" rather than "referenced"?
Many TIA for any help
Ian

Hi Ernie,
Thanks for your reply.
I found the thumbnail size in an Apple support document, that says thumbnails are always created at 1024px size. It then uses these to draw the grid, shrinking them on the fly to whatever size you set the grid to.
How did you find out yours are 360x240? All I can see in the Aperture library are AP.Minis, AP.Thumbnails and AP.Tinies but I don't know how to determine what's in these files. It's very encouraging if you've worked out how big the thumbnail images are in these files!
For one collection of 31,051 images, the referenced masters take up 10.23GB. In the Aperture library the Thumbnails folder is 15.34GB and the Previews folder is 4.5MB consisting of thumbnails for faces.
If you somehow managed to set your thumbnails at 360x240 then that would be brilliant but as far as I can see it's hardcoded internally in Aperture at 1024.
Many thanks again Ernie
Ian

I hav an 8gb iPod iPod touch 4 and according to settings I've got 2.6gb of memory left. However I've tried to download apps which are way smaller than that but it keeps popping up saying not enough memory! Plz explain wats goin on

Top download and install apps you need space available on the iPod equal to about three time the file download size. If you download more than one app at a time you need about three times the total file download size available so it is better if short on storage to purchase one at a time.

Can you explain this? Export sizes are way smaller than I want!

I shoot RAW files and I have a bunch of images from my recent vacation that are huge files like 16 - 20mp per image. I just exported a bunch of photos and now they are showing up as 64kb when I exported them to my desktop then I dragged them back into a new folder in Aperture 3 and those same files are showing up as 0.4mp! What is causing my files to get super small. I knew something was wrong when i looked at my images on my Apple TV and they looked horrible! I use my own presets I have been using since day one. Aperture is just acting real strange today. I don't know if I just need to reboot my system.
When I export my RAW files, they are being exported as JPEG files. I don't need them to be 16-20mp after the export. I always make the images smaller for social networking sites, etc. This has never been an issue. I just can't figure out if I take one of my RAW files that when double clicked, it fills up my entire computer screen pretty much then export it out of Aperture and then check the file size after export. Its really really small like 0.4 or 64kb.

What are the "Export Settings" that you are using when you export your images?
To get the best jpeg quality, set the "Export Preset" for your Versions to "Jpeg Original Size". Then set the Preset to "Edit" and check, if the options are still correct: The "Size To" selector should be set "Original Size" and the "Quality" slider at least to "10".

AdobeAcrobatPro: Downloaded pdf's are much smaller than scanned ones. How to get scanned ones to be fewer px and not lose quality?

I have several accounts which post .pdf's to be downloaded. These are good quality and are small (kb) files.
I find when I scan paper documents, they have huge pixelation... and as I make them smaller, they lose readability.
I've tried to scan at 72px-300px. I've tried to save as .jpg which was then added to a .docx. I've tried to simply save as .pdf all from photoshop.
Is there a way to get the quality of a downloaded .pdf document and it's low pixelation when starting from a paper document which must be scanned?
I have a Canon CanoScan Lide 100. and I'm using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Generally, if you want best quality you don't start with a scan. It's just a HUGE picture.
But you can try the "text recognition" feature of Acrobat ("OCR"). Be sure to experiment with the settings, they have huge effects on the result.
For OCR to work you need good quality scans of good quality originals using common fonts in an expected way (e.g. a page from a magazine).

Are graphics larger than 300x300 possible in GarageBand enhanced podcasts?

I would like to migrate away from Podcast Maker and start using GarageBand. However, as far as I can tell, GarageBand limits enhanced podcast graphics to 300x300 pixels. This is not even nice on modern iPods. Is there a hack to make larger graphics possible? I am looking for at least 640x480 which is possible with Podcast Maker. The button to not force graphics to 300x300 seems non-functional as graphics end up at this size regardless of the status of that check-box.
Thank you,
Roger

I used to have the setting on my iPod set to have the backlit display on during our graphically enhanced podcast too. The only problem, and the reason I switched it back, was that it causes the battery to go down a lot faster. So that is something to consider too. But as far as I know, the user has to change that setting themselves.

Forwarded images are much smaller than the original

Something new has happened. After 10 years of Mail I am just experiencing this phenomenon. When I forward an email with pictures or illustrations attached, the forwarded images are about 75% the size of the original. In many instances that takes the readability away. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this or what causes it? Thanks.

What size is set in the New Message widow in Mail?

Printed page smaller than page settings

Hi. Not sure if anyone's got experience with this, but for some reason in Office 2008, Word seems to have reduced the size of the page layout settings by about 30%. In other words, with page layout set to A4 sized paper, the print preview and actual printed page both act as if the print area is smaller than the actual page. The font is reduced, the space between lines, everything. So, although the font is set to 12 point, it comes out much smaller. I've checked page settings on both the printer and Word preferences (both are set to A4), updated the printer driver, and everything else I can think of. When I go back to my previous version of Word, no problem. Can anyone comment? Thanks.

Have you checked the default setup in like TextEdit under Page Setup, or made a new Default Page Size?

I have CS5 and when I opened up a particular folder in Bridge, I see only a few thumbnails of my images. The rest are this small blue icon. How do I get my thumbnails back?

In bridge on CS5 there is one folder I opened up today and in that folder I can only see a small percentage of thumbnail previews of the images. The rest are this small blue icon. How do I get my thumbnail previews back? If I click on this icon it will open the image up okay in photoshop but I would like to see my thumbnail image to see what picture I am opening up. Can anyone help?

Well ... i purged my cache and the previews came back. Thank you for looking.

Hi talero,
Contact AppleCare or bring it into an Apple Store or AASP.

Using LR 5 to make slideshow and images in the preview are correct but when I play the actual slideshow the pictures are a lot smaller than what they should be. Help!

I'm making a slideshow with Lightroom 5. I'm using a 2014 Macbook Pro. Everything works except when I play the actual slideshow the pictures are smaller than what they should be. But the preview is showing the correct photo size. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? Thanks!

Hey ronfya
Did you ever get any feedback on this? I haven't read the Technicolor link yet. I was just trying to figure out why my stuff comes out darker on Vimeo. Could this be because FCPX is displaying it to brightly?

Filters are not working on resulting image smaller than 8191x2048

I have created AIR application using SDK 3.5 over the Flash Builder 4, and I am targeting AIR player 1.5.3. I have large text where user can apply outline. And to apply outline I am using Glow Filter, but somehow it is not working for texts which are too large but smaller than required size which is 8191x2048.
I am wondering why it is not working even if it is mentioned in Adobe Official site.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filters/GlowFilte r.html
"A filter is not applied if the resulting image exceeds the maximum dimensions. In AIR 1.5 and Flash Player 10, the maximum is 8,191 pixels in width or height, and the total number of pixels cannot exceed 16,777,215 pixels. (So, if an image is 8,191 pixels wide, it can only be 2,048 pixels high.) In Flash Player 9 and earlier and AIR 1.1 and earlier, the limitation is 2,880 pixels in height and 2,880 pixels in width. For example, if you zoom in on a large movie clip with a filter applied, the filter is turned off if the resulting image exceeds the maximum dimensions."
If I remove the glow filter then it works.
Can any one suggest/advice, how the filter limit is not extended even if I am using proper SDK and AIR player.
Any help will be highly appriciated.
Thanks,

I have set -target-player=10.0.0 in the command line argument in the Flex compiler setting but still we are facing same issue for the not generating full text more than 4000px if we have applied Glow filters on the Text but if we removed the Glow filters from the text. Full text is displayed.
Our text dimention is : 1850x7200(with glow filters), This is below the 16,777,215 limits of Bitmap text. But still we can't generate the Full text.

Photoshop brush strokes are smaller than the cursor, need to make them the same.

My photoshop brush, pencil and Clone strokes are smaller than the cursor, which makes it very difficult for accuracy. Don't know what made them change, but want the cursor and stroke to be the same.
I've tried different settings in the brush dialog box, with differenc tip settings, etc, with no results. Also, tried different settings in Preferences/Cursor setting. No luck.
Help!

<<<<
Under Preferences (cmd k) > Cursors > Painting Cursors, the setting should be Normal.
Usually "Reset Tools" as described in post 1 helps. Have you tried it yet?

Gene,
Yes, I've tried that, and all the variations on that page, without success.

All my brushes are about 20% smaller than the diameter of the circle. What's happened?

All my brushes are about 20% smaller than the diameter of the circle. What's happened?

Visited Genius Bar. Solution was System Preferences/Accessibility/Display and move cursor size to Normal. A couple months back I evidently saw the option of making the arrow larger and did so and did not discover the problem in Elements until later. Before I visited Genius Bar I discovered same problem with Photoshop CS6 and Pixelmator. I had also uninstalled then reinstalled Elements and knew it wasn't a bug in the software.

Adobe PDF files are printing out smaller than 8 1/2 by 11; only happens on Firefox not IE.

I downloaded the latest free version of Adobe Reader.
Now on Firefox, the page view is surrounded by a black screen. I can increase the view size, and have the document fill the whole page. However, when I go to print, the document prints smaller than an 8 1/2 x 11 page with black space (almost as if I scanned something without a cover) all around it.
Not only is it difficult to read some files, I'm wasting black ink.
I happened to be on another site using Internet Explorer and when I downloaded a file using that browser, everything was normal. No unusual size dimensions, no problems printing.
Seems to be a Firefox issue.
Any suggestions?

You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or to Always Ask.
*Tools > Options > Applications
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.
