Changing size of pictures (in bulk) to be uploaded to Mobile.Me Gallery

OK, I feel like I'm missing something obvious but I don't want to upload full size JPEGs to Mobile.Me - just 800x600 or so. The only thing I see in the preferences is for email.
Am I really missing something obvious or am I just out of luck?
I'm using Aperture 3, BTW

Yep, same applies for facebook.
You may find it's easier to export the images to a finder folder at 800x600, watermark or whatever as you go and then upload manually.
If you do find a fix please let me know too!

  • Cannot change size of picture (in Ko) when saving with Preview

    Hello all,
    I need your help please.
    When I modify a picture with Preview, like resize it for example, then I want to save the picture, I cannot change the size in Ko like I used to be able to with Snow Leopard.
    Before, in the "Save as" menu, there was an arrow to decrease or increase the "weight" in Ko of the picture. This arrow is still there, but it does not show the number of the actual weight of the picture anymore (is it 400 ko, or 500 ko, or 600 ko, etc...).
    Anyone has the same problem ?

    I tried the steps you mentioned and found that this issue is also present in Previous versions as in PSE 10 also.
    I will suggest you to check "Convert Files to" check box and then select "JPEG Max Quality" from corresponding drop down in order to maintain the quality of your JPEG image.
    You can do it specially in case you are processing JPEG files and your image quality will remain same.
    Hope this will help you.

  • How do you change the size of pictures?

    Hello,
    I'm a new Mac user. How do you change the size of pictures in iPhoto? Sometimes when sending e-mails, the picture files are extremely large and take a long time to load... Is there any way you can make the picture or file smaller? Like on a PC, you can open the photo in the Paint program and just reduce the size... Is there anything like this for the Mac?
    Thanks!

    Assuming that you're accessing your email package from INSIDE iPhoto, you're given a choice of picture sizes. Personally, I've found "medium" to be a good compromise but you might prefer "small" (iPhoto will tell you the file size).
    If you don't know what I'm talking about, first go iPhoto Preferences > General and select your email client. Then, go to the View menu and select Show in Toolbar > Email.

  • Can't change size of a picture after trying to create an action, help!!!

    Just tried to automate a batch and resize, and then save for web all of the pictures - it didn't work the way I wanted (probably recorded something wrong). But When I tried to rerecord the action - it became impossible to change size of the pictures. What's wrong? I already restarted my computer, but the function of size changing still isn't working.

    If all you want to do is to resize your images for the web you do not have to record an action you can do that with the Image Processor script that ships with Photoshop. Menu File>Scripts>Image Processor.  You can also have it include one of your actions when its processing your images.  You can also select image in the bridge then use menu Tools>Photoshop>Image processor

  • Photos and layouts change size when adding photos in book layout

    I am using the Classic layout to create books.
    Sometimes, when I move a photo down into the layout, unpredictable things happen. For example, when I drag a photo down onto the page layout, sometimes the photo will change sizes, and sometimes the layout will move around (esp. with 3 or 4 images on a page). On a page with a single image, sometimes the photo comes in large, and sometimes it shrinks. On a 3 photo per page layout, sometimes the layout starts with 3 photo boxes in a row. I can add one or two, and then I add another (could be the 1st, 2nd or 3rd - it's the image file that I think triggers the change) and all the boxes scramble and instead of a row of 3 equal-sized boxes, now I have a page with 1 big and 2 small boxes. Totally unpredictable!
    Is there any way to control this?
    All the photo files I'm starting with are high resolution tiffs, around 8 inches square (most are squares, not 4x6 snapshots) at 300 dpi.
    I have had this issue on 3 computers (and probably 2 different versions of iPhoto): a 2-year-old G5, and two brand new iMacs.
    Any help or advice is welcome. Thanks.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If you Control-click on the square photo in a book frame you can select the "Fit photo to frame size" option and the entire image will be contained in the frame. there will be some white space on the short side.
    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.

  • Question about image size, canvas size and Picture frame

    Hi,
    This has always been a little confusing so let me describe what my question is:
    Assume I have a created a new PSD that is 8 1/2 x 11.
    The canvas size is the same 8 1/2 x 11.
    I want to put a border around the picture (say 1/2 of an inch all around), and put the finished picture in a Picture frame.  After it is in the frame, you would be able to see the entire picture plus the border.
    Q.  Should I change (reduce image size) of the PSD to (for this example), 8 x 10 1/2.      Then increase the canvas size to 8 1/2 x 11.  After I increased the canvas size, do a  Paint Bucket fill with white (to create the White border)?  then print the changed size PSD on 8 1/2 x 11 paper so that it will fit into a 8 1/2 x 11 picture frame
    I realize I could have just created the new PSD to be 8 x 10 1/2 in the first place.
    Hope I made this somewhat clear.
    Bob

    1: Decrease the size as you describe.
    2. Go to File>New or Ctrl N
    3. Make the box 8.5x11. Make sure the other data conforms to your image.
    4. Now,holding down Ctrl-Shift, Drag the image to the new box and release the mouse. Your image will be centered in the box.
    Note: there may be a method to do this including any adjustment layers, but I usually only do this as a last step, flattening a copy of the working file.

  • Aperture changes resolution of pictures

    I'm probably missing something really easy, but I don't use Aperture regularly, so....
    I take pics with 180x180 ppi, 1920 x 1080. I import one into Aperture to do some "enhancing" and export the enhanced version. The picture now is 72 x 72 ppi. If I export the original, it is still 180x180; but that isn't the enhanced version. I cannot find a setting/option to tell Aperture to leave that alone - I don't appreciate having a picture resolution changed without my doing it.
    Is there a way to leave the resolution untouched even if I make changes to a picture and where can I set it?

    Hi babowa,
    how are you exporting the enhanced version? Using the command "File > Export > Version" with the "Export Preset" set to "Jpeg - Original Size"?
    Then check the "DPI" settings for this preset. That is by default set to 72 dpi, and change it 180.
    You can do that by selecting this preset on export, then changing the preset to "Edit". In the "Image Export - Edit" panel you can duplicate this preset and modify the copy. Simply set the dpi to 180 DPI. Then use your own preset.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • I click on a link or start typing text in a box on a webpage, any page, and the browser window either randomly changes size, reduces & goes to the toolbar, or some other strange random thing occurs. Why is this?

    Whenever I am using Firefox, when I am on a webpage (any webpage) & I either click on a link in that page, start typing in a box, click on a button, or click on a tab, the browser window either reduces to the toolbar, or just changes size, usually from full-screen to 2/3 of its size. I reinstalled Firefox (downloaded from the web) after wiping my hard drive because I was having so many problems from my browser constantly crashing, to the computer itself crashing often, to the computer running exceptionally slow. At first everything seemed fine. But then after having opened my computer a few times, a few different windows began to freeze, then that stopped, then this thing with the browser started a few times later after opening it. Now it does it every time I open it. Also, whenever I try to click on a button on other windows on my computer, I get the 'warning' sound, nothing happens, then after a couple more tries, the button works. All of this is just weird. I had antivirus protection on my computer, but it apparently did not catch whatever virus infected my computer, or the damage was already done when it did get it. I thought once the hard drive was wiped, that everything would be ok, but then these weird things began to start up, and now I am wondering.... Of course, it could also be something wrong with the browser, too. I've also had some trouble getting my printer to working again, but I've managed to solve that problem.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself

    If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered:  Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
    This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.  Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
    Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    NOTE:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

  • How do I change my Desktop Picture to a solid color?

    Hello folks, I'm trying to change my desktop picture to a solid black color in Leopard. How do I do that? I went into the desktop preferences under System Preferences but under solid colors, they do not have black. And I have no idea how to add more colors to the few selections there. Can someone help me out please? Thank you.

    That's one idea, they have a solid black .png file on there, and you can either set it as your desktop and tile it, or follow their instructions.

  • How do I change the background picture that is shown when i start my Mac?

    On the iMacs in my school they have a different name for everyone of the after for example the band Queen and then there is a picture on the inlogg screen with queen on it. So then you log in and there is another background picture after that. I Have a macbook pro and I would like to change that "start-picture".
    Right now it´s kind of boring and grey. Can you change it somehow?

    It sounds like you're using Adobe Send for Outlook.  Correct?
    Unfortunately, there is no way to change the default text that is inserted into your message. You'll have to change it each time.
    I will pass along your request to the Adobe Send team.

  • When I change size of icons or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer?

    When I change size of icons, or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer? In some folders I want to see a list and others I want to see an icon and I don't need a large icon in all folders. I used to be able to set each folder separately in the old OS. How do I fix this?

    I can hilight an item, go to the finder/file/getinfo but there is no box next to icon view.
    I can go to view/options and adjust the icon size etc, but this applies to every folder in the whole computer. I need varied options in different folders, i.e., I want to view images as icons and text as text. I have to change it every time I open a folder. I used to be able to set it per folder in the old OS.

  • Apple Mail 7.3 - How to change my profile picture?

    Hi!
    I checked the old available posts, but none of them really solved my question, so here I go again with my question regarding the small picture shown on outgoing mails in Apple's Mail 7.3.
    Currently it shows a default 'green lightning' picture on my outgoing mails in the upper right corner.
    I did: System Preferences > Users & Groups, and selected Current User (Admin/myself), and dragged and dropped a new personal picture into the picture box showing the old 'green lightning' default picture which was then substituted by the new pic of my choice. All done.
    However, Mail 7.3 after numerous restarts and 48 h later now, STILL shows on outgoing mails the old 'green lightning' pic which I had substituted before via Sytem Preferences > Users & Groups.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks!!

    Hey MN072012,
    Thanks for the question. The picture is actually pulled from your card in Contacts. If you open up Contacts and find the card that is associated with your email address, I suspect you will see that the “lightning” picture is still linked to that card. Try changing it there and sending a test email to yourself.

  • JButton changes size

    My button changes size when it has label START and STOP. How can i do, it not changes (sorry for my english)
      import javax.swing.*;

            ramka.show();
    }

    Add this as the last line of the constructor of Ramka:
    b2.setPreferredSize(b2.getPreferredSize());
