Changing photo size without maintaining aspect ration

I need to take a square photo and turn it into a 7x5 without cropping any part of the image, in other words, I need to squish the photo. Can this be done in Aperture and how?

Hi there, unfortunately any image files printed via the ePrint service are automatically printed in 4 x 6" size. Using the smaller paper size you have will only result in sections of your images being cropped and lost from the printed output.
Sorry about that.

Is there a way to change clip size without losing image quality? Specifically from 568 x 320 to 1920 x 1080?

No, especially not video files. That's way too much scaling.

CS6 not changing photo size?

I have watched a few videos, on changing image size, in cs6, since when I tried it, the photo didn't change size at all. I could change it to 1 million inches tall, and it will stay the same size. I don't really know what to do. I've tried unlocking the default layer, and changing the canvas size and nothing seems to make this image change size. I want the image in the picture bigger, am I even doing it right by going under image, and changing the image size, and hitting ok? That is all the tutorials say to do, yet nothing happens for my image.

An image file just stores the image as arrays of pixels -- 1000 x 2000, 3000 x 4000, 5723 x 8557 or whatever. Those pixel maps don't have any inherent "size". The image file can also contain metadata that tells software how to interpret the pixels. For example, the metadata could say 72 pixels per inch (ppi), 100 ppi, 360 ppi, 1000 ppi, or whatever.
In Photoshop (and in most other pixel image editing programs), you can change the metadata to give the image a different "size" without changing the pixels at all. For example, an image that's 1000 x 2000 pixels, at 100 ppi, will be 10" x 20". If the ppi is changed to 1000 ppi, the same image will be 1" x 2". And at 10 ppi, the image will be 100" x 200". But the image pixels will be unchanged; they will just be bigger or smaller pixels. Each one of these files will be 2 megapixels and will occupy exactly the same amount of file space (before compression, assuming 8-bit RGB, 6 MB).
All of the foregoing is with "resample image" unchecked, which ensures no change to the pixel array data. Now, if you want to grow (or shrink) the size of the image pixel array, you can do that in photoshop by changing the size with "resample image" checked. This will add or subtract pixels, changing the image data. So if you change a 1000 x 2000 image that's 100 ppi and thus 10" x 20", by changing the image size to 1" x 2", with resampling checked, the data will be shrunk to give you a 100 x 200 image. 90% of the data will disappear. Your image will be 1/10 the size in terms of data and pre-compression file size. If you were to resize the image back to 10" x 20" with resampling unchecked, you would still have a 100 x 200 image, which would have 10 ppi resolution -- a much crappier image. If you were to resize the image back to 10" x 20" with resampling checked, you would get a 1000 x 2000 image with 100 ppi resolution, but it would still be a crappy image because 90% of the pixels would be newly created through interpolation, not the pixels in the original image.

Changing photo size

I have some pictures on my ipod but when I look at them some are really blurry and have other weird stuff(they look fine on the computer). The others look fine, it seems only the big pictures are blurry, the small or meadium sized ones are fine. So my question is how do I change the size of my pictures to make them smaller? By the way, I have tried right-clicking then pressing edit then I change the size and click save, but it doesn't work! Please help.

txrangerman:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try R-Name. With it you can determine the pixel dimension you want and also the quality/compression level to use. I am able to reduce a 1.6 MB 2272 x 1704 jpg down to 640 x 480 at 40 KB (used a quality level or 60%). It's free and can batch change folders of photos. You will have to use it outside of iPhoto, 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 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.

Looking to change book size but maintain my page layouts

Is there a smart way of changing the book size in aperture but be able to maintain the page layouts. I dont want to redo the entire book. Any tricks or suggestions would be of immense help. I have custom layouts for images.

I don't know of any way to do this, that is supported by Apple. If you change the theme or the book size, you will get the warning, that custom items and texts might change.
Have you tried to duplicate your book and to change the size of the copy of the book? What are the custom items that are changing in your particular custom theme?

Change slide size without resizing objects?

Is it possible to change the slide size without causing Keynote '09 to resize all the objects on each slide?

As far as I can tell it's not possible. You have to make a new presentation with the size you want and copy paste everything from the previous presentation into it.

Changing partition size without reformatting drive?

I heard a rumor that in Leopard you can change the size, name, or other details of a partitioned HDD without having to erase and reformat it.
Is this correct? If so, that would be a huge advantage for me, as I often don't predict how much drive space I'll need to use.

Tell me if I'm wrong, though, but it seems that DU can only shrink. So, if you have 2 partitions, after you shrink one, you can't increase the size of the other. I hope I am wrong here. Please let me know if your experience is different. I think we'd all like to know how it goes, regardless.
That said, VolumeWorks can do as you require. DO NOT do this without a backup of everything.

Exporting from IPhoto 6 to folders on External HD changes photo size WHY?

I have read your replies to other questions about having photos reside on an external hard drive and understand what is said. However I have a problem with the size of the photos changing once I have exported them to a new folder on the external HD. Please read my issue and help me if possible.
I have IPhoto 6.0.5, I recently purchased the upgrade and installed ILife 06 without problem.
Because I have been running out of HD space on my Powerbook G4 I decided that I wanted to put all of my photos that are in the IPhoto library onto my external drive. What I did not want to do was just copy my whole library all at once.
Instead in IPhoto I went to File and Export, chose my external HD and then created a new folder with the same name as the folder I wanted to export. Then I exported and waited for it to complete.
I had no problems doing this and successfully copied all my folders from IPhoto, some 7,000 photos.
Now that I have all the new folders on the external HD my goal was to be able to open and edit/adjust any photo using Photoshop and Bridge. I have recently learned that Bridge gives me a lot more options than IPhoto.
I really want to get away from using IPhoto for anything except for creating cards, calendars and books with the new ILife 06 program.
I have not deleted any of my photos from IPhoto just yet, to be on the safe side.
I have been shooting with a Nikon D70 camera and I normaly shoot with the camera set to take both a "Fine" jpg and a NEF photo at the same time. When I downloaded these photos to IPhoto the result was that I have two photos of the same image with the photos labeled automaticaly in numerical order. Here is an example: DSC_0001.JPG and DSC_0001.NEF
When I go into IPhoto and click on DSC_0001.JPG and look at the size information of the image it tells me:
Format JPEG Image
Size: 2000 x 3008 and 658KB.
When I click on DSC_0001.NEF and look at the size information of the image it tells me:
Format TIFF Image
Size: 120 x 160 and 5.4MB.
Now when I go to my External HD and check the same information for the same photos this is what it tells me:
DSC_0001.JPG:
Kind: JPEG,
Size 1.2MB on disk
DSC_0001.TIF:
Kind: TIFF Document,
Size 148KB on disk
As you can see several things have changed during the exporting to the new folder on the external HD.
First the photo that is supposed to be the JPEG is now 1.2MB
Second the photo that is supposed to be the TIFF is now 148KB
Also notice that the largest file is no longer 4.5MB but 1.2MB and it says it is a JPEG.
Do you know why this would be happening?
Do you know how I can export a folder of photos from IPhoto to a new folder on my external HD and not loose or have change any of the size and kind of photo??
I am hoping that you can shed some light on the situation.
Thanks for your response,

What settings did you use in the Export Dialogue?
When you go File -> Export you get a tabbed box with various options. In the File Export tab you can choose to scale the pics, or keep them the same size, change or retain the format.

How to change photo size settings on cell phones and tablets

I've worked in graphic design for many years, but I just encountered a new situation for me.
In the past, whenever I got photos from a digital camera or even a cell phone, the default pixel settings were more than sufficient to work with. For example, the default pixel settings on my digital camera are 4608x3456.
But in this situation, I'm getting photos from technicians who know nothing of computer graphics. I need to crop their photos to 640x480. But some of them are coming in smaller than that (one is 234x420).
I believe they are taking these photos with their cell phones or their tablets (but they could be using different brands).
So I've been asked to instruct them in how to take their photos so they come out big enough for us to crop to the appropriate size.
But I always thought that the defaults for all devices that take photos are pretty huge, like my own digital camera. I don't understand why any would come in so small, unless the techs tried to edit the photo themselves before sending it to us.
So is there a way to change the photo settings on smart phones and tablets? If so, is it pretty similar for different brands, or will I have to research and give instructions for every brand they have?
Or, do you agree that they might be trying to edit their photos themselves before sending them?

Changing Partition Size without Deleting (bootcamp)/ Vista Question

Hi, I'm currently running windows xp and OSX together with bootcamp on my black macbook (2 gigs of ram).
I want to install Vista but I don't have anymore space on the Windows XP partition (just 4.42 gigs left). Can I partition my drives again where I get more room for my XP drive without deleting or messing up any of the information?
Also , can I even use vista ultimate upgrade on my macbook?

Hi,
I believe boot camp is not supporting upgrade version of windows OS.
Run you boot camp assistant to changed the partition size, but I think it will delete all of the XP that already installed there, but you don't need that again if you want to install Vista in that partition right?
do visit boot camp forum for more answer from their experienced user.
Good Luck

Changing Photo Size Dimensions

Hi,
I put a few photo's on CD and attempted to put a couple of photo's on the internet using a PC as I'm not currently online at home. The website I tried to post these on allows space for 2KB for each image, each image I used is less than this. However when I try to post the images/message it says:
Your uploaded image exceeded the maximum dimensions of 650 x 650. Please shrink your image to be smaller than these dimensions.
What does this mean and am I able to do this using the CD the images are on or do I have to do this using iPhoto? If so how?
Thanks.

Hi Fancy,
You can shrink the photos in iPhoto. Open iPhoto and select your image > Share > Export... choose the 'Scale Images No Larger Than:', from here you can scale down to 650 X ?. Unless the orginal is square you will get a 'non square' sized image... when finished export to your CD.
To make you images sqaure, you must first crop your image to 'square constrain', save, Share > Export... again go through the steps above, your finished image will be close to 650 x 650...
See if this work and post back... you may or may not encounter problems with the file size as well..

Original photo size without using full screen mode...

Like in Preview. Is there a way?

You could use the Edit in Separate Window mode and enlarge the window as big as you'd like. The toolbar would still be there but you can cover up the rest of the iPhoto window if you'd like. The arrow keys will then let you scroll thru your photos.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Change printer settings without printing?

To create a new template one has to go through the "Printer..." dialog to change the paper size. Unfortunately, the only way to actually SAVE the new settings is to click OK, which causes Lightroom to print the current image. In all other programs, the "Printer..." dialog is used only to adjust settings. In Lightroom it seems to serve as a "Print" dialog as well. On Windows this violates long-standing UI function guidelines embodied by pretty much all other software.
A concrete example:
I needed to create a new template to print on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. To do so, I created a new template while in an existing template for 8x10. This copies the settings to the new template, but one cannot adjust the cell size to anything larger than 8x10. So I went to the "Printer...:" dialog to change the paper size. However, when clicking OK on the "Printer..." dialog, to save the new paper size, Lightroom starts printing the current image.
What should happen is that the settings are saved and no printing starts. Printing should occur only when I click on "Print".
Unless I've missed something and there's a way to change paper size, color profile, paper type, etc. (all the things you can change on the printer driver's dialog) from within Lightroom without invoking "Printer..."?

Jim, you have provided no detail at all.
I can change paper size without printing on my Mac with epson printers. I can even change paper size with o printer attached.
Let us know what your are doing with what set up....

I to want photo sizes given in inches in iPhoto on my new iMac. How is that done?

How can I change photo sizes in iPhoto on my new iMac to inches, not cm? Also is it possible to print 2 "4x6" photos on 1 11x8 photo paper? Thanks in advance.

You don't need to get to preview to take a screenshot. Here are the key combinations for screenshots:
Command-Shift-3
Capture the screen to a file
Command-Shift-Control-3
Capture the screen to the Clipboard
Command-Shift-4
Capture a selection to a file
Command-Shift-Control-4
Capture a selection to the Clipboard
Use Command-Shift-4 to capture just the part you want to save.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.
