Batch change photos in album to lower resolution

I want to burn about 500 photos in an iPhoto album to a CD with Toast. At full res, they would take four disks. I want to lower the resolution so they'll all fit on one disk. Can I batch change the album in iPhoto?

You can only reduce the quality of a file on export. So select the Album and go File -> Export and examine the options in the resulting dialogue.

  • Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

    Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

    Thanks again.
    Unfortunately I don't have iPhoto (running Windows).
    I did, however, figure out a work-around.
    I created an empty directory on my computer, and told iTunes to "Sync Photos from..." that empty directory. This deleted all the photos from the iPod (go figure).
    I then set the "Sync Photos from..." dropdown back to directory that actually contained all my photos, and sync'd again.
    And, yes, they all loaded onto the iPod at their better, higher resolution.
    Thanks for all your help. Photos (and wallpaper) are perfect, again

  • Batch change photo dates in Photos for 10.10.3?

    If anyone has access to the 10.10.3 beta or has managed to use Photos at all, does it still allow you to batch change photo dates like iPhoto used to? Thanks!

    Interesting. I would have thought that the moratorium lifted on press releases and reviews of Photos by a number of tech websites would have applied here as well. I had a little look at the Terms of Use on this website and didn't see any prohibitions on speaking about upcoming products, but perhaps I've missed something. Are those participating in the Developer Preview disallowed from speaking about Photos if major press outlets are not?
    Apple does not and cannot control major press outlets.
    However, they do control their own products and beta releases are subject to an NDA.

  • Batch Change Photos' Date - Not Time

    Is there a way to change a bunch of photos' date, but not the time?

    Neil:
    Not in iPhoto. Unfortunately you've go to change the time as well. If there are not too many of them you can do it this way.
    1 - move all that you want to redate to the same date to a new roll.
    2 - in the Finder copy the folder in the Original folder that represents the roll with the files to be redated to the desktop.
    3 - using an application like PhotoInfo batch change the date to whatever you need. It can just add or subtract a specific number of days, months or years to the date as you see fit.
    4 - change the name of the folder and import back into iPhoto.
    5 - delete the original roll of photos with the incorrect date.
    That's about it. It's not too convoluted and can be done. This way the new date will be embedded in the file and stay with it if needed in a new library or other application.

  • Is is possible to batch change photos to original date?

    I'm amazed at how mixed up my photo lib is (I'd really like it to be chronological) due to edits and other mysteries. Is there a way to batch change a bunch of photos (I have 11,000 - how many should be in a "batch"?) to revert back to original date taken??? Thanks for any help! Donna

    Do Not use Shootshifter on photos already in the iPhoto Library. This will rename the files and that will damage your Library. Every file renamed will be lost to iPhoto.
    Instead, try an experiment:
    Export a few of the files from iPhoto and use Graphic Coverter (you can download a Free Trial) to examine them. See what it tells you is the date of the photo. This will tell us if the problem is with the pic or iPhoto.

  • Batch Changing Photo Names and E-mailing them

    Hi
    I batch change my photos names in Iphoto to text (I think it is.) So I can date or name events. However when I e-mail the photos to a friend, he receives them with the original numbers that my digital camera had assigned to them.
    When I look back to my sent mail folder, the photos are how I had re-named them with the batch change.
    I don't get it, can I get some help here as to how I can e-mail photos and have them arrive with their modified names.
    Thanks

    T. Rod:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will have to export those photos to a folder on the Desktop with the option to use the Title as the new file name. Then add them to the email. That's the only way to get files with the title as the file name.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Batch Change Photo's

    Hi,
    I am looking to make a number of changes to photo's that I receive to make them web friendly.
    I would like to be able to select a bunch of photo's (say around 70), reduce the size on disk, reduce the width to around 500px and also change the photo to black and white.
    I know I can do all of it in iPhoto but it requires a number of steps of importing, exporting and re-importing, I wondered if anyone knew of a programme that would do everything I wanted in one go.
    Thanks
    Gavin

    Hi,
    Thanks fro responding so quickly.
    I have tried your suggestion but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I selected the file that has all the photo's and Automator copies those pics to the folder I specified but the resizing and colour doesnt work.
    I have reduced the automator to just get the photo's and change the colour but that doesnt work for me either.
    Regards

  • Low Resolution when uploading to online printing service

    When I upload photos from iPhoto to an online printing service (Walmart, Costco, Shutterfly) photos show up as low resolution. When I take the picture I use the higest resolution. Are there any suggestions on how to rectify this situation? I have uploaded and printed before with no problem. Do I have to use the memory stick directly to the site or change settings?
    My camera is a Sony DSC-W55.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    How are you going about uploading?
    Are you digging the files out of the DATA folder in the iPhoto Library Folder? If so, you're using the thumbnails that iPhoto uses for display purposes.
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    I suggest you use the File -> Export option and export the pics to the desktop. There iPhoto will make a copy. Upload that, and when the upload is finished you can trash the copy on the desktop - your original is safe in iPhoto.
    Regards

    I am new to apple software having worked with microsoft all these years. The switch was mainly for my photographs. Iphotos seemed to have changed all digital albums from jpeg to tiff format hence the very small resolution. Can anyone out there please help me recover these photos to origianal format???
    Thanks

    Gosh I am already tired of trying to retrieve this photo album and it seems like a waste of time and money spent on an apple IMac.
    No disrespect intended but until you learn how iPhoto and Macs work you will continue to be confused and frustrated. 
    You say you want to create a book in iPhoto and have it printed by Apple, right.  Have you finished creating  the book in iPhoto? If so the Control (right) - click in the View all pages window background and select Save Book as  PDF in the contextual menu?
    Open the the PDF file with Preview and check for any errors or problems.  If there are none you can order the book by clicking oin the Buy Book button at the bottom. Save the pdf file to compare with the printed book when it arrives in you feel there's a problem with it.  That's all you need to do.  There's no use of the Finder required.

  • If I share an album does the recipient receive lower resolution photos?

    Someone shared an album with me.  The photos I see on my computer are all very low resolution (39KB).  The photos on her phone are higher resolution (1MB).  Is there a way for her to share the full resolution photos with me?
    Thanks

    Sure - email the full resolution photo to you
    and possibly other ways but since you tell us nothing about what she has or is doing we can only guess - emailing is the most general way

  • Is there anyway to do a batch change on all of the photos in my photobook?

    I know how to select photos in other albums, and do a batch change on them, but I can't seem to select all the photos in my photo book. Can you tell me how to do it or suggest a work around?
    Thanks!

    Ultimately I want to create a new smart album with the pictures I used in my photo book so I can reduce the resolution and export them to my desktop.
    (My Publisher's photo book printing is much more affordable for me. Iphoto and MP prices start out as the same, but MP offers a 40% discount. However, I need to lower the resolution on our professional wedding pictures before sending them over.)
    So, I was thinking I would, do a batch change to rename them, create a smart album, and then export the pictures in a lower resolution. I'm open to your suggestions too. Thanks for your help!

  • Scary problem! Old photos suddenly dark, low resolution.

    Going through some old pictures I've just noticed that 3-4 sets from 4 years ago have become very dark and lower resolution.
    The weirdest part is that they are not complete "sets" -- that is, the darkness seems to in random groups of certain sets (i.e., the first 3-4 are okay, followed by 20 dark/low rez images, followed by 2-3 'normal' images).
    I tried zapping the PRAM, as I read that resolved a similar issue. And I repaired permissions.
    No dice.
    Any thoughts? What I'm afraid of is this happening to all my photos.
    Note that I upgraded from a 12" G4 to an iMac two years ago, and imported all those photos. I also upgraded to 10.6 about 8 months ago.
    But I just noticed this now -- not sure when it happened.
    HELP!

    Thanks much for the tips. I calibrated per your suggestion and killed the pref file -- still have several batches of very dark, low resolution photos that weren't that way before.
    Weird.

  • I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they come up in camera roll as low resolution.  How do I fix this?

    I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they have very low resolution.  First I sent them from iPhoto with highest resolution, then I transferred them to my desktop in highest resolution and added them to an email, opened the email and saved to my Camera roll.  They all look like low resolution photos.This is the exact method I have used to transfer photos in the past with my 4S and never had a problem.  What am I doing wrong?  Is this a bad camera?  HELP please!  Thank you!

    My husband has the same phone, we purchased them at the same time.  I sent him the same photos in the same email that I downloaded them from and on his phone they show up with the normal higher resolution.  Is it possible that there is something wrong with my iPhone or is there a setting that can be changed?  I'm still learning to use it.  All my other photos are of normal resolution.  Does this make any sense to anyone?
    Please help!

  • Photoshop Album 2.0 - Can I change Photo shooting dates

    My friend gave me Photoshop Album 2.0 to help her keep track of her pictures.  Problem is, she didnt set her camera to the right date, so some of the pictures have a "shoot" date that is not correct.  For example, the camera may have imprinted June 1, but we know because of the content of the picture that it actually was August 21.  So, can I manually correct these dates for her?
    Thanks for any help you can give me?
    I know that I can get the new trial version, but she uses the calendar version that is on the old 2.0 and wants to stick with it.

    You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
    What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.

  • Preview - low resolution on photos

    If I create a pdf document containing photos and open the same document in both Preview and Adobe Acrobat, the Acrobat always has sharper images. It seems like Preview works at a lower resolution. I have spent much time testing all different types of pdf files, saved at different resolutions. No matter what I do, the photos when viewed in Preview are less sharp than Acrobat.
    Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to change Preview?

    Hi,
    Is there a fix for this?
    The UI is tiny on my Dell XPS 15 (retina display).
    Is there no option such as in photoshop for 'experimental features' to enlarge the UI by 200%?
    Currently it's unusable on a retina display.
    Thanks.
