Best Picture Sizes For 8.5 by 11 Book
i need to resize all my photos from around 1500 x 1500 px to ????? on another computer that has photoshop on it (i cant belive iPhoto wont let you resize a jpeg). All the pictures are to large for the book i am making
whats a good size for the jpeg's to be for a 8.5 x 11 book???
thanks
brad
ps is there any basic free photo editing software out there that will let me just resize a jpeg?
Brad:
For a book use the largest pixel dimensions available. Do not resize down. If you need to downsize a photo for use outside of iPhoto use the File->Export->File Export menu option and you'll be able to set the pixel dimension and the amount of jpg compression (quality) for the exported file.
For batch resizing outside of iPhoto Resize! is a very good app and it's free.
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 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.

I am preparing a slide show to be presented on a large screen television set. A 50 incher.
What would be the ideal size for my slides to be sized before I add them to the iDVD slide show board? Better to save them as pdf files or simple jpeg images?
I tried to look this information up on the iDVD help menu on my computer but the help function does not work. Thanks.Here are some links to info that may help you:

I know YouTube says to post videos at 320x240 but they upscale the image so the videos do not play at 320x240. I have a question into YouTube but they may take days to respond. I've searched through many YouTube questions here and found different information.
My question is what is the playback size for the videos on YouTube? I want to make my videos the same size so they won't be upscaled, thus quality lost.
I've read here that YouTube plays back at 425x350 while another says 450x357. Anyone know?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)Wow, thanks for that in-depth reading!
Two things: first, I am going to post the direct link to your download here:
http://www.kenstone3.net/fcphomepage/images_youtube_compressor_gary/Youtube_comppresets.zip
(it is kind of hidden in the middle of the text)
Secondly, in playing with these presets, I disagree about the de-interlacing not taking any extra time. In my tests, your SD preset said it was going to take four hours to finish a five minute clip of mine.... disabling the de-interlacing, it jumps to four minutes to complete. I will do both and see how much visual difference there is, but that is substantial for me! (sixty times as long)
Any who, I am running some different tests... will let you know once I have some results of my own.

Should I reduce picture size for iWeb?
The pictures from my camera typically range in size from about 2 to 5.5 MB. Is there some reason I should reduce the size of the pictures before publishing them?
Wyodor,
I assume, from your message, that you feel I'm being lazy. However, that's simply not true. I have no idea how to check these things. I have two web sites--one for my disabled grandson and one for my first grade class. I am a gramma and a first grade teacher. While I do pretty well with my mac, I often need technical help. That's why I am using this forum.
So, if you (or anyone else) is willing to spend a bit of time, here's what I need: I take pictures of the children in my class every day and post them on my classroom website. Their parents love these pictures and wish to download some of them to print. From what I can tell, all the pictures posted on my site are automatically compressed, regardless of the method I used to post them on the page? I did find an option for the pictures to be medium, large, or full size. That would allow good prints after downloading. However, I do not want to set up my web pages in a way that it takes a long time for them to load.
I spoke to someone at school today who thinks that every picture on the web page is greatly compressed, regardless of what size is selected. He is very knowledgeable. If that is the case, there would be no reason not to select the "large" or "full size" selection as it would not slow down the load time. I would appreciate it if someone can confirm this, or explain what will best meet my needs as described above.
Thanks! -
Contact Picture Size for iPhone Calls (4S, iOS 6.1.1)
I recently updated to iOS 6.1, and even more recently to 6.1.1. My problem is when I receive a phone call, the contact's picture is now full screen. Previously, it was a thumbnail size picture in the top right area of the screen. I much rather prefer the thumbnail size picture. I've searched throughout the forum and the only answers I've found were to edit my contacts on the computer instead of my iPhone, but I've never had to do that before. Is there a way to change it back? If not, I guess I'll adjust but any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Best slide size for displaying on ipad?
What size of slide should I be creating on my MacBook for displaying on the iPad?
From the Apple website, the iPad screen is 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi), so I would guess the default size of 1024 x 768 would be the best. However I don't have an iPad and have never used one, so you may want to ask in the community dedicated to iWork for iOS.

[Blackberry 8100] What are the best pic sizes for the blackberry?
Hi, I am the proud owner of a new blackberry 8100 and I have a few questions.
When I upload an image of 600x450 pixels to the media card, They display well, but when using the Zoom feature, the image starts to get blurry. Now with a 600x450pixel image, I think the size would be large enough to get a closer zoom without the blurriness effect, but i'm a new user so I'm not really sure if I need a larger pixel image, or if I'm over-estimating the blackberry's Zoom feature and thinking it's a Zoom feature like Adobe's Photoshop. So what's the best recommendation for image sizes to be uploaded to the blackberry?
Also one more question regarding the desktop Manager. I have Version 4.6.0.12 and when trying to access the Media Manger, the "Start" button is faded out, so I cannot access it. Why is this option not available when the blackberry is plugged in as a Mass Storage device?The 8100 screen is 240x260 pixels. Zooming in on the pic doesn't ever do the pic justice.
Are you sure that Media Manager is installed? Some installs of Desktop Manager don't include Media Manager. If it's indeed installed, does it work if you turn off mass storage mode?

Hi all,
When I get my replacement SATA HDD back I will be creating another RAID 0 array. My Windows XP cluster size is 4K, but I have a choice when I am creating my RAID array. All hardware in Sig.
The system is being used mainly as a gaming machine, but I will be doing other things to with it also. Looking for the best balance (slightly in favour of the gaming, ).
I heard that the cluster size if the drive should match the cluster size of the RAID array. So if my drive cluster is 4K then i should set my RAID cluster size to 4K or should I set them higher.
any information is more than welcome,
Andrew
P.S. I did do a search through the forums, but could not find much recent information.The "EASIEST" way to change your cluster size is to have a 3rd drive with Win XP on it....here is what you need to do.
1. Have 3rd drive with Win XP
2. Go to bios and change boot order to 3rd drive b4 Raid
3. Once in wondows goto "Disk Management" (as soon as you click on it you will have a window pop up and ask you to select drive and it will also want to know if you want to convert drive to a dynamic disk...I always choose no)
4. You will see your raid drives as 1 BIG drive..now all you do is right click on the drive and click partion...primary partition...set size...now is where you can choose cluster size...you will have 3 boxes to check off...
5. NTFS or FAT32...Volume Label....Cluster Size......
6. After you check all of that off then you click off quick format and Voila...you have done it now do same on rest of drives....
7. once you have setup all your partitons and selected cluster sizes...shutdown PC unplug 3rd drive...change boot order so CD rom will be a bootable device b4 raid device and you are good to go on a clean install....remember once you get into the window when setting up XP you have choices to format drives again and choose where XP get sinstalled ...choose to leave as is...no need to format again cuz it will default to 4k cluster again.....
let me know how this goes for ....I have been doing this trick now for a LONG time and I know for a fact that this is a fast and easy way...without using any 3rd party software.....
my advice to you is try 16/16 then 32/32 -
Best screen size for exporting slideshow as pdf
Help please,I create slide shows for clients and export them in pdf format that are shown to numerours people but who are viewing the slide shows on different size displays ,what are the best settings both in silde show mode and creating and exporting as a PDF( height and width) so the images in the slide show will best and be maximized on all screens ?,size of the exported PDF is not a issue.
Any help is welcomed,Thanks
PS will there be any viewing difference ,if a slideshow created on a pc in Lightroom and shown on a Mac?Having just tried to do the same thing, IMHO the Adobe PDF engine does not do the best job of resizing images. I exported at 1200x1600 and on my 1280x1024 screen there were noticeable jaggies on the text. The image itself was less noticeably degraded, but it was. For slide shows I use another product that does a much better job here, but you may not want to add another learning curve to your life. I think you should go to the PDF forum and ask around for a solution.
I can't speak to Mac/Pc issues. -
What is the best import size for slide show images?
I have imported images sized 720 pix on the long end, and I'm not happy with the iDVD 08 quality - the images are soft. It's only a 50 image slide show. Can I use full resolution images and if so does iDVD size them down ? I am exporting Jpegs out of LightRoom so I can make any size/quality required.
Or, is there another app I should try that would give more professional results. I do like the themes in iDVD and the general interface. Is there an app that would perhaps take slide show produced elsewhere (like ProShowGold, SWF n Slide) and produce a theme/menu list/background etc., Soundslides Plus)
I am burning at 1X speed, and Pro encoding.
ThanksI have imported images sized 720 pix on the long end, and I'm not happy with the iDVD 08 quality - the images are soft.
I'm not sure if you are in NTSC land or PAL land and the recommended sizes are slightly different. See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html
Can I use full resolution images and if so does iDVD size them down ?
My experience has been the trying to use large, hi-res images actually produces slightly lower image quality than images I have resized and sharpened in Photoshop to the recommended sizes.
Or, is there another app I should try that would give more professional results. I do like the themes in iDVD and the general interface.
I just did some recent test and iDVD '08 gave as high a quality images as any of the others (and was better than iPhoto or iMovie created slideshow movies). It's important to remember that the images on the DVDs we create are low res (640x480 square pixels for NTSC) which is only about 0.3 megapixels. They were designed to be viewed on 'old-fashioned' CRT TV sets which have that same resolution. Viewing such a slideshow full screen on a computer monitor with 4 to 8 times more pixels is less than optimum.
I am burning at 1X speed, and Pro encoding.
Under 4 x is good. Pro encoding is a waste of time for such slideshows- you would get the best quality using 'Best Performance'.
If you ONLY want to view your slideshow on your computer - and NOT on a TV set - there are better, more high-resolution approaches you can take than using iDVD.

Best File size for widescreen TV output
Im having a brain freeze here!
I have to make an animation (including video) which will be
displayed in 1/4 of a widescreen TV (1280 x 768) and are not sure
if it is best to make the size 1280 x768 or smaller at the same
aspect ratio - because of distortion on 42-50inch TV ?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

What distortion?
How are they going to display it on only 1/4 of the screen?

What is the best way to minimize the blurring that occurs when pictures are resized in FCP? (ref: this thread) Should I resize the picture to my intended export resolution using a different program before i import it in FCP? Does motion do this better than FCP? Only use 3+ megapixel photos? other ideas?

preview quality version. also, depending on the
resolution of the image, there may be too much detail
which is being lost due to the alternating scanline
