Background image size smaller but same quality?

Hi guys,
I just released www.cloudformz.com, It's an advanced formbuilder (Dutch) and the whole theme is that it's a cloud service.
So,how surprising, I use a cloud background (1920 x 1080). My question is, how can I get the filesize smaller, but the same quality.
I am aware of the quality slider when exporting for web, but that decreases the quality sow much that you see artifacts.
Thanks in advance.

Internet users expecting to use "cloud" services would normally be fairly well connected to the Internet, no?
Your background image, http://www.cloudformz.com/img/bg.jpg, is only 64 kbytes. That's already almost inconsequentially small for an image that size... It's a fairly highly compressed JPEG with no color profile info or metadata in it. I don't think you're going to get it much smaller than that without seeing quality loss.
However, one thing to try, with a large graphic containing open spaces and pure, solid colors, would be to save as a PNG, which can be very efficient for such files. However, any noise or gradients in the image at all will cause a big increase in size.

Reducing background image size

Hi all,
I'm working with Captivate 4 and have made a screencast of a particular process for training purposes.
The project has 80 slides - but each background image is 1800+kb. Overall the project comes out at 3 MB even with the highest possible compression in the publishing settings.
The project is to be hosted on the Web so I really don't need this kind of detail in the background images and I can't find anyway to reduce the image size apart from exporting each of the 80 backgrounds into Photoshop, reducing them in size and importing them back into Catptivate. For 80 slides this would take too long.
So, two questions:
How can the background image size be reduced within Captivate?
How can I change the settings so when capturing screenshots the image sizes are smaller in the first place?
Thanks in advance for any tips,
Neil
Is there anyway the

Thanks Lilybiri
I've bene recording at full screen (1024x768 or close enough) in order to get the largest recording space possible - and then resizing the project to 800x600 for the web production. The problem is that there is no optimise for web setting (or none that I can see). I just did another test and each background image is 3000kb - way over the top for something that will be viewed on the web.
Does this help you get a fuller picture? Any advice?
Thanks for sparing your time to answer here btw - much appreciated

Photoshop crashes when I try and save for web and devices. Making the image size smaller does not help.

I'm trying to make a lopping .gif from an animation that I made. It's 147 total frames. It's crashed about 6 times now every time I either try and Save for Web or even just save the document on my desktop so in case it crashes I can reopen PS and recover it. Making the image size smaller (original size is 1920 x 1080 with resolution 72) does not help, it still makes the *ding* error when I attempt to save. I made the image more than half of the original size and the Save for Web box actually came up that time, but when I tried clicking save it said there was an error and PS crashed without warning.

Look at the crash report for your Photoshop crashes see what they show

8851 Background Image size

I'm having problems with the thumbnail images on a 8551 phone.
According to the docs at www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/8811_8841_8851_8861/10_5/english/adminguide/P881_BK_A92A3B94_00_adminguide-8811_41_51_61-10_5/P881_BK_A92A3B94_00_adminguide-8811_41_51_61-10_5_chapter_01010.html the thumbnail image sizes for the 8851 are 25% of the main image size (which is 800x480 at 24 bit colour depth so the thumbnail would be 200x120) But a few lines further down, the docs say the image size should be 159x109 (which is NOT 25% of the background image size and is a different aspect ratio.)
I tried to open a couple of the existing thumbnails from Desktops/800x480x24 on my TFTP server, but they don't appear to be regonised as image files by my computer.
I've tried images of 159x109x24 bit colour and 200x120x24 bit colour, all PNG, but none of them work as thumbnails.
What are the specs of the thumbnail files for the 8851 phones?

Fitting background image size according to link text

I am using a list for my navigation. I have a background
image which is shown on the LI. If the text in the link is longer

How can I stretch the width of the image?
Does it look like I am putting the background image in the
right place? Am I doing this right? Thanks a lot

You cannot. But you can prevent it from tiling with CSS.

It's not necessary to have it on both the <a> and the
<li> tags.

Ipad background image size

I would like to use a background image that I have in my Photos File on my iPad. I selected it and can not resize it to fit the screen. It is currently 216 x 540 @ 72 dpi; 61kb. Does it need to be smaller? I have the same image on my iPhone 5 and it fits the screen perfectly.

Apparently you need to turn off reduce motion. I cant look at where that is exactly because I'm on my old iPad right now, but that will put back the move and scale

Problems with the background image size in a photobook

Hi there, I really need help here. When I make a photobook I want to display my images large, taking the whole page. To do that I put the image as a background and it's OK. My problem is that when I do this, iPhoto always crops it. I have to use the move tool to move the image up and down, left or right to chose a best position. I don't want to do this, I want my image to be shown perfectly from end to end. I have to resize the image in many ways, even used the book's native resolution but it still doesn't work. If I choose "fit photo to frame size" I end up with two stripes at the top and the bottom of the page.
Please help me, what size should I resize my image to, so that iPhoto displays it as it is?
Thank you

Hi
The fact you are using a Mac is why both myself and JCellini assumed you where using a pre IE7 version.
But the code you are using to test in IE will cause a problem with any 'virtual machine' such as crossover, because it cannot reference anything outside its own assigned section of the drive, and referencing the png in the way you are would be for it an invalid reference, it also would not work in any browser when you uploaded the site.
Change - background-image:url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/myname/Documents/websites/test/Test/images/test_back.png);
To - background-image:url(images/test_back.png);
But if the region is not editable I would suggest you temporarily make it so, externalize your css to a css file, insert a link to the external css file in your head content, then lock the region once again. This way you will always be able to edit your css without worrying about 'locked regions'.

Resizing browser to background image size

I am trying to redo my website and I want to have a large landscape image on the opening page and for the browser to automatically resize to the proportions of the images and for the image to change in size when the browser window is changed in size.
To make it easier to understand I want it to work like this:-

I don't want a 'border' to appear at any point. Does anyone know a small HTML snippet that will make this work???

Background Image Size

Hello! First time poster :)
Is there any way to compress background images in Captivate
3? I'm creating a tutorial on how to use the admin side of a
website that will be uploaded for people to log in and view. When
all is said and done, there will be about 300 slides and 45 minutes
of audio broken up over those slides. I'm editing MP3s outside of
the program to keep their size low, but the background screen shots
are killing me. In order to fit the entire browser into the shot,
the slides had to be 920 x 695 pixels and each shot is about 2.5MB,
making my .cp file size a cumbersome 800+MB. I'm worried that the
size of the published file is going to be too large for most people
to view easily.
I feel pretty comfortable with this program, but as a first
time user, I'm worried that there are things I should be doing
differently to avoid such large file sizes. Any suggestions on ways
to decrease my file size?
Thanks so much!

Thanks for your quick reply! Having only used Captivate in
tutorials, I wasn't sure what its capabilities were as far as how
much you should put in one file. I have the slides divided into
sections that I could easily save out as separate projects, but
here is my concern. I need the tutorial to work as one cohesive
piece. Ideally, the user needs to be able to watch it once all the
way through, but have the option of skipping to various sections
they'd like to view again. I was planning on doing this via a
button appearing on each slide that would take them to a single
slide that would navigate them to whatever section they needed. Is
there any way to split up the files, yet still make a singular
published file (or at least something functioning as like a
singular published file)? What are your recommended limits for
Captivate projects?
Any suggestions are welcome as I'm running into a time
crunch. Let me know if my explanation is at all unclear.
THANKS!!

Menu background image size

Hi...if I follow this link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html and the instructions for preparing menu background images. My images still get cropped. Does anyone know the real sizes that will fit perfectly?
From the Apple link:
"If you want your images to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to crop and resize the images to the following dimensions:
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format
1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format"
Many thanks in advance

Shingy,
Today there is an update to iDVD (as well as other iApps) that you should make.
After doing the update this is what I found:
I'm not sure if the things I'm seeing are a result of the update, but after updating I have further defined the problem.
The problem now seems to be in figuring out the proper background size when using a widescreen theme converted to 4:3
Widescreen as widescreen and 4:3 as 4:3 work as expected in PAL.
So, if you stick with the originally discussed image sizes for PAL you will be OK AS LONG AS you don't try to use a widescreen theme as a 4:3 theme. (I didn't try using a 4:3 theme as widescreen.)

PAL background image size requirement

I'm trying to help Shingy who asked a question about a background image problem (see the message thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=475370&tstart=0).
Background images for NTSC projects (for at least the themes I've checked) seem to workout at the 'standard' image sizes: 720x540 pixel for standard and 854x480 pixels for widescreen.
With PAL, using the PAL 'standard' image sizes: 768x576 pixel for standard and 1024x576 pixels for widescreen - results in images far larger than the background.
Any suggestions to help Shingy?

Background image in tray but does not appear

I am trying add background images to some submenus in a DVD project with picture slideshows. When I drag in the image, it appears in the customize tray, but does actually appear as a background image in the preview of the DVD project menus. Any idea why? Will they only show up in the final burned DVD? thanks

Hi t
Don't think so. You know that You can test the DVD by the rond button with
a triangle in it ?
You can also from file menu - make a disk image and try to run this with
Apple DVD-player.
I think I would convert the pictures to jpg, pict or tiff to see if any of them
will work as asumed.

Promoted Links Tile Background Image Size Issue

I am brand new to using sharepoint and I am having an issue with the images attached to the promoted link tiles. No matter what size I change the file too, I can not get the tile to show the whole pictures.
I have tried changing the image size for multiple different pictures in both photoshop and illustrator to 128px and 150px, with no luck!
Does anyone have any advice on how to make the pictures fit in the tiles or how to start with an illustrator or indesign image and format it correctly to display in the tile view?
As many details as possible will help since I just started using this program!
Thank you!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is the promoted link tile can’t show the whole image.
By default, When image with a blank space around, it would be transformed properly in promote link tile, I suggest you modify the image to make it with blank space around.
For about modifying image, I suggest you post a question to the corresponding forum such as Photoshop forum:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
Feel free to reply if there are still any questions.

Makking image size smaller

Hi I got a new camera and ive noticed that each photo is 20.3 MB and thats pretty big so i was wondering if there was a way collectively making images smaller. ( i know how to do that with photo shop but its annoying to do one pic at the time )
thanks

absolutmarti
In iPhoto? No. If you make a change in iPhoto, the change is applied to a new file, so reducing the file size actually ends up taking more space not less.
Some thoughts: With a file size of 20MB I'm guessing that you're shooting in RAW. IF you don't wan that amount of info, then don't shoot RAW. Or shoot at a lower quality setting.
After that, you can resize the pics before importing them to iPhoto. I think Graphic Coverter has the ability to do this in Batches.

Compressing photo size in iphoto - want file size small but pic big? how?

Hello
I hope this is the right section for this post.
I am building a website and I want photos on it, I am building it in iWeb.
in iPhoto is there any way of making my photos a smaller file size?
I have cropped them a bit, but some are still about 400kb.
I want my site to load quickly.
I want a gallery page with thumbnails to click on to enlarge them, but on my home page I want 1 big picture. What is compression and can i do it in iPhoto? Can I still have a picture the same size (to look at) but the file size is smaller. I have heard photos should be about 30-70kb and mine are 400kb jpegs!?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8) using iphoto and iweb, not hosting on .mac

Betsy
I believe that iWeb optimises the pics when you publish the site, but you could confirm that on the iWeb forum.
If you want to reduce the size of pics using iPhoto, you do that on export: Select the pics you want and go File -> Export. Use the dialogue to specify the size of the pics you require and export them to a folder on the desktop.
