Change resolution of photo

Im makeing a photobook and the photos Im importing need a higher resolution, Can I do that in Iphoto?

No - it is impossible to "improve" quality once you have a photo - you can change teh numbers but anything you do will at beat leave the quality unchanged and generally will reduce it

How do I resize/change resolution of photos from iPhoto when used in iWeb

I am shooting with a 7.1 Mega Pixel Canon to get enough quality to crop and print high quality pictures of my baby daughter and her adventures in the world.
I have a website up made with iWeb, but when I select the photos in iPhoto and go Share / Sent to iWeb / photo page - I get a nice layout of the photos but at full resolution when the thumbnails are selected or the slide show is run. Although nice and sharp, this is a pain for anyone looking at the site even with high speed access.
There must be some way to resize photos, but I have yet to figure that out with iPhoto, let alone iWeb. And as one photo at a time is a pain, there must also be a way to rescale a whole selection of photos that I want to use for a page - say her Disneyworld trip. I can't be the first person to run into this, but I have not found anything out there to point me in the right direction.
Ideally I wold like to create a resized set from the originals - so I can still print and crop in high qulity. I also am not really sure what resolution would be best or easy viewing and download - that's probably subjective. 1200x800 comes to mind but I am open to suggestions.
Perhaps resize is not the right term - changing resolution is probably more accurate, but there too I have not found an answer.
Appreciate the help and suggestions.

dan28088,
Tried your site on two different browsers, using highspeed broadband; the site is, indeed, extaordinarily slow. We can dissect the thing down to the last file, but it won't change anything, as far as I can see. If it were me, I would host the site on another server. The .Mac servers are just plain slow, period. I think that is the primary problem here. Just my opinion, others may disagree.
I created a new site this past weekend for a new project, and published it to .Mac. It contains a lot of jpeg files in slideshows (along with the usual png suspects!) . After reviewing it a few times, and not being satisfied with page-load speeds, I published to a folder and uploaded the site to space on 1&1 WebHosting.
The page-load speeds TRIPLED. That's right...3X as fast page-load speeds. Even large, linked to files, 3MB+, load within a reasonable amount of time. (seconds)
I still will keep a .Mac subscription, as I like and use all of the other features of the iDisk. But for serious website hosting, I think you will be better 'served' with a remote host. Your money with .Mac is certainly not wasted; the syncing services and other features of iDisk space that integrate with your local files are well worth the yearly fee. Again, only one user's opinion, based on experience.

Changing resolution of photos

Hi I am a new user and hope someone can help with some information
I would like to change the resolution of some digital photos to (640x480) by "downsampling" in IPhoto before importing to I Movie.
Does anyone know how to do this and will this reduce the file size?
Thanks in advance!

GRF1,
There is some great information in this page by Matti Haveri, one of the iMovie gurus: http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/SVCDon_aMacintosh.html#slideshow
In this section about slideshows he discusses the math involved in figuring the pixel dimensions of still images to be used in your movie. Notice he says that if you downsize to 640 X 480 that your images may appear somewhat fuzzy, and that there is really no room to zoom in with the Ken Burns effect. If you do plan on zooming in, then you need to calculate for the zoom. For example, if you zoom in at 2X the picture size, then you need double the pixels in order for the image to look good during the close-up.
Also notice his recommendation of a 3rd party application PhotoToMovie. He says it reduces flicker by slightly blurring the images. Many iMovie gurus have compared its slideshow capabilities to that of iMovie and iDVD, and have reluctantly come to the conclusion that it is better. Since your slideshow has so much architecture, it might be worth looking into. You can create the slideshow in PhotoToMovie and then place in into iMovie so that you can burn in iDVD.
Another great source of info is Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ. He quotes another guru, Fred Shippey, who gives the pixel math involved in stills which will be zoomed. You can follow his link to Fred's quality test. Notice again the recommendation for PhotoToMovie, which Dan and Fred agree does a better job of rendering the slideshow.
For more information about flicker and jaggies, read Karl Petersen's test here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2909799&#2909799 and here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2105598.
Lots of homework, but I hope it helps.

oldhoss:
You mean you've not found out how to resize images with Photoshop? It's all in the Image->Image Size menu. Enter the pixel dimensions in the boxes and go from there. Also PS has the capability of saving for web. I can reduce a 1600 x 1200 jpg file from 1.7MB to 212 KB by selecting the Medium quality level (5) in the Save As window. However, using PS's "Save for Web and Devices" menu option, medium jpg option, it is only 112 KB and the image quality is outstanding.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to change a 4x6 photo to a 8x10 photo in elements 11

how do you change a 4x6 photo to a 5x10 photo in elements 11

You can't without severe distortion, since the aspect ratios of these dimensions (4x6 & 8x10) are at variance.
Depending on the picture, you may be able to crop the 4x6 to 4x5 without losing important information, utilizing the crop tool.
If this works for you, then go to Image>Resize>Image size, and enter w=10, h=8, check constrain proportions and resample image.
Depending on the resolution of the image, you may see pixellation with this degree of magnification. For printing, it is desirable to have the resolution in the 240-300px/in range; for web work 72px/in is ok.
An alternative is to open a new, blank file with dimensions 8x10 and with the same resolution value as that of the 4x6 picture file, then copy/paste the 4x6 on the blank file. It will not be a symmetrical fit, but you can position it with the move tool off center and perhaps add something else (?text) to minimize the distraction.

Can anyone help me fix the resolution on photos?

I need help with picture resolution immediately. I work the school yearbook and photo resolution is the only thing setting me back fron publishing pages. Photos saved in my computer don't have 300 resolution and i need them to be. When I changed a photo to 300 resolution the photo still shows up as unacceptable resolution and then I am unable to publish my yearbook pages. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.

You would have to specify the final print size as it would appear in the yearbook. For example, if the print were to appear in print @ 3 X 2 inches, even at normal printing resolution of 300 DPI, this would be a smal file in overall pixel dimensions. 900 by 600 pixels to be precise. This would have to be down sampled heavily from a normal camera file of perhaps 2500 X 3800 pixels, (or thereabouts). A photo uploaded to the web is normally only at a resolution of 72 DPI ...!
Basically you would take the size of the image, in inches, as it will appear in print, then multiply those numbers by 300 (the DPI or PPI for print). A 5 X 7 inch print would of necessity be, a 1500 x 2100 pixel file.
You should probably copy a couple of photos and practice with the "image" > "resize" dialog box. A hint is when you have to resample down, set the method at "bicubic sharper".

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2

I keep receiving this message "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto" You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."

I keep getting this message. What do I do? You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.

External Monitor changing resolutions on Macbook

I have seen several people ask this question, but I haven't found a suitable answer. I have a MacBook running 10.6.8 at school. I teach and move from room to room hooking up to different projectors and monitors. The set up is just very unstable. Despite its supposed ability to remember settings, it rarely does and the resolutions are messed up as well as the display callibrations. I have an external monitor on my desk. Yesterday, I set the resolution to the native 1280x1024, when I plugged back in, it was back to 1024x768. For some reason, the higher resolution wasn't even appearing on the list until I fiddled with it.
Why is this so buggy on this MacBook running this OS? Is there a way to force it to remember display settings better? Any tips?
I know that other teachers have more problems than I do because they don't even know how to change resolutions or anything like that.
Thanks for any tips, tricks or helpful comments.

Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

How do I change the cover photo of an album in the Photos App?

Hi,
in iPhoto you can change the cover art of an album or journal (but apparently not of a shared photo stream?!).
But how do I change the cover photo of a shared photo stream I created in the iOS 6 Photos app? It seems to be the first photo in that stream but I want to use another photo as the cover / key photo of that shared stream. Is it possible at all?
Thanks,
Stefan.

Which iPhoto are you referring to? iPhoto on your mobile device or iPhoto on your Mac? If on your Mac you'll need to change the date of the photos in the Event via the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option:
This will change the date of all selected photos in the Event and thus change the date range of the Event.
Or you can use the Photos ➙ Adjust Date & Time menu option and change just one or two photos which can also change the date range of the Event.

Can I change resolution and embed font in cloud acrobat?

I need to be able to change resolution on one manuscript pdf, so I purchased the monthly cloud acrobat, but now I'm not seeing the capability to change resolution on the document.
I don't have an ongoing need for high resolution pdfs, so my normal MS Word to pdf is usually fine.

Nothing in the world can increase resolution if that's what you want. Reducing resolution is done via Save as > Optimized PDF.

Changing resolution in Solaris 10 sparc system

How do change resolution in solaris 10 on sparc system?
During install display was fine. Once boot to OS, display is bad. Need to know how I can change resolution to get a decent display on screen.

I'm not too sure about sparc hardware, as I don't know which graphic server it uses, but on my system(x86) the same thing happened. What I had to do was make an xorg.conf as the install doesn't create one.
On the CLI execute '/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig' and this should step you through creating an xorg.conf file- as long as you are using the Xorg server of course.
or
execute '/usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure' this should create a basic xorg.conf and you just edit it yourself where appropriate.
Personally, if you know your graphic board,monitor, keybrd and mouse along with refresh rates the first method is probably best.

When opening the version of Iphoto i have an error message appears that says; You can't open your current iphoto library using this version of Iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto. What? If I can't open the current library using the latest version of iphoto, and I am asked to make changes the the newest version!!! I'm asked to run in circles chasing my tail...I had a new hard drive installed about 6 weeks ago. I am running MAC OS 10.5.8

What version of iPhoto do you have? If you're on 10.5 then you're not running the latest iPhoto
Any chance that the library was opened with another version?
Simplest solution will be to just restore from your back up.
