Best Image File Type & Size for Photo Books?

When you select your photos to be included in a Photo Book submission, is there a required file type and maximum size. Most of my images are presently Photoshop .psd files and TIFF files of substantial size -- around 2 to 4MB, that I will have to import into iPhoto '09. Thanks.

Interesting. Presently, all my image files are at 300 dpi.
Remember that DPI has no meaning for a digital file - digital files have only dots - the per inch part comes form the print size so until you select a print size you had only "d" - not "dpi" - that is a totally meaningless number
See +The Myth of DPI+ for more information
How exactly is print size determined in the photo books -- from your selection
Obviously from your selection - you place a photo into a frame and the frame size is the size
You may want to take the tutorial for more information - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#books
or, whatever size results from the image resolution.
remember that images have no inherent size - they are just dots (pixels)
Is the ideal resolution 300 dpi? Thanks.
any image that will print at 180dpi or above will give good results (and will not get a resolution warning)

  • Image file type and settings

    hi i have a hard time determining which image file type works best in capt 3.
    jpg's for example get really bad,
    Which photoshop export settings (png 8/ 24 , dither no dither etc etc) work best and have a nice file size / image quality balance?
    Can anyone help me out, much obliged and loads of karma points to you!

    Hi there
    I too use PNG images. Note that you have control over the quality settings for images.

  • Is there a maximum size for photos used in a slideshow? I cannot anymore put my slideshow into a wmv

    Is there a maximum size for photos imported in a slideshow ? I cannot anymore put my slide show into a wmv file.

    About CLOB size, it's 4Go not 4000 characters - VARCHAR2 supports up to 4000 bytes. Pay attention also to unicode encoding!
    Are you using CFQUERYPARAM to insert into the CLOB fields ?
         <CFQUERYPARAM CFSQLTYPE="CF_SQL_CLOB" VALUE="    ">
    use the Firebug extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843) in Firefox3 and do some network monitoring: let me know what you're seeing there.
    Hope it will help...

  • Show file type icons for MS Word, Adobe Flash etc

    Hi,
    I'd like to know if anyone has found a way to display custom icons for assets such as MS Word documents, Adobe Flash documents etc. Currently if a user uploads one of these types of asset a generic blank document icon is presented. It would be very nice if instead a recognizable icon would be presented instead.
    I have dug into the filetypes.plist found in /Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/conf and have had some success getting an Adobe InDesign document display a non-blank icon when viewing it's asset, but there's no documentation out there so I'm kind of working in the dark.
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

  • Ideal file size for photos

    If I am making photo albums in iWeb, what is the ideal file size for the photo file?
    My camera now is 7 megapixel, so the original file sizes are about 3 MB, obviously that'll be very slow to load.
    To what file size should I save it to make it load at a reasonable speed and still have a reasonable quality? 500 KB? 200 KB?
    In case this is a factor, the typical album I make would have about 40 - 50 photos.
    Also, what are the best ways to batch converts -- making a group of photos 500 KB instead of 3 MB? I know a few time-consuming ways (ie. individually resaving the files) or using a thumbnail-making program (have used a program called Thumbs Up).
    Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    If you are importing your photos directly from iPhoto to iWeb, they will be scaled down to a max dimension of 800x600. If you are using a photo template page or making a gallery page using the following method...
    http://www.mac.com/web/en/Blog/013C4180-4787-4847-BAAB-319222AFC652.html
    ...iWeb will also make your thumbnails for you automatically.
    For all your other freeform pages that you might make, it is always a good idea to size your photos down to their usage size. A good rule of thumb is to consider the width of your page, which by default is 700px. Then divide it out by how many photos across you expect to have roughly. So 3 photos across 700 pixels means that the photos should be scaled to roughly 233 pixels wide maximum. Just a rough approximation is fine.
    The reason I recommend doing this is that if you drop in a 2500 pixel wide image into iWeb directly, and you only plan on using it as a 233 pixel wide image on the page... iWeb will do a fine job of scaling the photo down to size BUT it will also save the full resolution photo as part of your web page....not to use, but just for safe keeping. And if you ever discover the RSS feed on your website, you will see that iWeb makes all of these high resolution photos available for download, too! So beware if you value your original work! Don't feed them directly to iWeb.

  • Best Video File Type For iTunes and Xbox360

    I have an extensive digital library and I am trying to have one file for all devices.
    What I am looking to do is to have one file that can be managed by iTunes, play on my iPhone and stream to my xbox360 via Connect360 and look good. File size is not a concern. I dont want to do multiple encodes.
    The important features are one file playable by iPhone and Xbox360 via Connect360 that can be managed by iTunes. I would like the video to be of very high visual / audio quality.
    I use handbrake to convert video files.
    My question is, what is the best file type for this scenario? I have used mv4 but more recently I am using MP4 with 264...
    Again, one file to rule them all....
    Thank you in advance!

    Old thread for others, but,,... It isnt necessary to convert a bunch of files, if you have Plex on your pc, and on your iphone/ipad.
    I would have spent a month converting the terra bytes of all the video files that I had but i just airplay and my Plex app to send nearly any type of file on my Imac directly to my Apple tv.
    It converts on the fly any file that isnt supported.

  • Best video file type to convert for Apple TV???

    I just got the Apple TV and love it, but I have a ton of AVI's and whatnot that obviously won't play.  What would you all recommend is the best thing to do with them?  I have converting software, but want to choose the right file type that will not make it 2-3X the size.  Appreciate tips!!!!

  • What's the best size for photos?

    What's the optimum image size for the iPod Nano? I'd like to transfer images as small as possible.

    I believe if you are only transferring the images and not the full-resolution photos, iTunes does the optimization for viewing so the pics will be small. You have a choice within the iTunes preferences.

  • Templates for photo books?

    Hi,
    we want to do a photo book without using iphoto.
    - can we export hires pdf's from pages 08?
    - are there any templates available to do books for pages08?
    Thanks for your help
    R

    Yes you can export hires pdfs from Pages 08. Select:
    +Menu > File > Export > PDF > Best+
    Make sure you have enough resolution (300dpi) in the original image, at the size you are printing.
    For templates look on the following sites:
    http://www.iworkcommunity.com/
    http://www.jumsoft.com/pages/
    http://www.stocklayouts.com/Products/Apple/Apple-iWork-Pages-Template-Design.asp x
    http://www.keynotepro.com/index.html
    http://oegf.co.uk/
    http://www.digmo.co.uk/software/apple-pages-templates/
    There are others search for them.
    A suggestion would be, if you like Apple's iPhoto photobooks, to print out one of these to a .pdf file and use this to layout a similar template in Pages. Or any other layout you fancy.

  • Newbie stuck - how do I change the file type of a photo I am formatting from a TIFF to a JPG?

    I am new to Aperture and struggling to figure out some of the basics, even with the tutorials.  I need to submit a photo for an art competition - the master is a TIFF and I need a JPG under 1.8 MB - how do I change the new version's file type and keep it with the master?
    Thank you in advance.

    I can't recommend the method proposed by Carolyn Samit; in fact, I recommend ignoring it.
    Aperture is large, complex, and can take some time to learn to use.  It is also quite powerful, and can handle nearly all -- or all -- common tasks you throw at it.
    I have written a very short guide to Aperture which was intended to provide some firm footing for those getting started.  I humbly suggest that you start with a quick review.
    One of the things that presents a bit of disorientation for new users is that, in practice, Aperture keeps your pictures in a kind of limbo.  There are good reasons for this -- suffice it for now to accept that you import image-format digital files into Aperture, you use Aperture to organize and optimize these as Images, and then when need a file to use outside of Aperture, you export you Image.  It is at export that you format your Image: you select the file type, the compression amount, the file name, the file size, and more.
    In your case, then, you will export your Version, and set the file type to TIFF (recommended above JGP whenever quality is paramount). There is no way to know the file size in bytes prior to creating it.  Start with a full-size TIFF and, if necessary, knock it down by percentage until the exported file is less than 1.8 MB.
    There is no reason to attempt to keep this file with the Image in Aperture.  Send it on its way.  Any time you need another file from your Image, you can create it fresh via "File→Export→Version".
    HTH.  If it doesn't, ask more.

  • Jpeg size for iphoto books?

    Hi, have found that some of my jpegs are to small in size to print properly for books. Does anyone know what size is best for making books?

    The best size is as large as you can get. iPhoto will
    Default DPI Settings in iPhoto 7's Preference File
    BookTargetDPI - 300
    BookTargetMediumDPI-300
    BookTargetSmallDPI - 300
    BookWarningImageDPI - 180
    PrintImageDPI - 720
    PrintWarningImageDPI - 140
    So if the photo you put in a frame will be printer at less than 180 dpi you'll get the warning label. A photo might give you that warning at a full page frame but will be OK in a 2 photo/page frame. I've have photos print with that warning and they looked OK. What are the pixel dimensions of your smallest photo. The smallest I've used is 1600 x 1200 and created a whole book with that size. I did not have any full page photos however.
    Do you Twango?
    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. 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.

  • Can I exclude certain file types in the Photo Downloader?

    Hi there!
    I am very new here, so please do correct me on etiquette and if I'm doing something wrong. I've been searching the web for quite a while now but couldn't find an answer or even questions concerning this problem...
    I like using Bridge's Photo Downloader, for the nice renaming and other options it gives me. Usually I want to download all images from a card and then delete them on the card. The problem I am having is that Photo Downloader will not only see images (like .JPG, .CR2 or .ARW) but camera database files and settings (.INT, .BDM, .BIN, ...). This is annoying, since I neither want them stored on my hard drive nor deleted on my card. I also would like to import movies in a different way. The way I can work around this now is that I manually deselect all non-images in the Advanced Dialog and then only download these. But I was hoping that there is a more elegant and automatic way to just exclude certain file types from automatic selection. Or even just a way to mark or unmark the images by file type. This should be very easy to implement and I am really curious if I am missing something obvious here or if this is just not possible yet.
    Has anyone else thought this before? Or are you all using different methods to import images from your card reader?
    Any help or comment is appreciated.

    Sorry, download history is either on or off. There is no preference setting to exclude specific file types.
