Changing the dimensions on a photo that overlaps a video clip in imovie 08

I am using iMovie 08. When I overlap a photo over a video clip the photo doesn't display fully. It gets cropped and I can't get a full version of the photo when it's in the video clip. How do I change the settings for photos that are on top of video clips? PLEASE HELP! I am getting sooo frustrated!

Select the photo you want to change and go to the Photos->Batch Change menu option and select Date in the next windows menu.

How can I improve the quality of a photo that appears blurry when used in iMovie but not in iPhoto?

A 320 x 240, 35 KB Jpeg file looks crisp and in focus in iPhoto. But as soon as I put it into iMovie and hit full screen, it's blurry and looks terrible. A photo taken with my Nikon D7100, a 3872 x 2582, 2.5 MB Jpeg photo translates to the big screen just fine, with perfect clarity. How can I use this former picture but increase its clarity when it's magnified in iMovie?

Apologies for opening this up again:
I rasterised and embedded the photos, liked what I saw and marked the question as answered, then I zoomed out and lo! The white jaggedy edges are back! This is despite the fact I rotated them to vertical before rasterising them.
It appears that the pixels in the rasterised image are relative to the screen, not relative to the object... so when I rotate the photo it goes back to the original hi-res photo and re-rasterises it to fit the new orientation.
Also doing this has not lowered the filesize at all... It does appear that when you rasterise an image in Illustrator, the new raster is only a veneer, the original (hi-res photo) is still lurking in the background.

What program do I need to change the resolution of a photo?

What program do I need to change the resolution of a photo that is currently a low-res .jpg? I previously had photoshop, but it did not transfer to my new Mac Lion - and it is too expensive to repurchase. Curious if there is there an alternative option? I cannot open hi-res files anymore, and would love a solution. Thanks!

Take a look at Pixlemator in the App Store

Recently I noticed that when I change the name of a photo (correcting a mistake) it always goes back to the previous name, keeping the mistake I'm trying to correct. A spelling mistake, for example. As I keep my photos organized by name and not by date, this is very annoying.
And today it won't even read my camera's sd card, and I try with 2 different ones. If I restart the computer, leaving the memory card in, then it reads it; but if I pull it out and push it back in it doesn't see it. Whath am I doing wrong, if anything?

Where/how are you trying to change the name? If it is in Finder (after you've downloaded the pics to your desktop), highlight the pic icon and press Return. the name field will change and you can type in your new name. Hit Return again. That should make it "stick". If you're trying to do it elsewhere, please post the steps that you've tried.
As for your card: do you eject it properly? Either drag icon to trash or hit the eject symbol in the sidebar?

I can't change the date on my photos. i click on adjust change and date and it does not give me the earliest date to change

I can't change the date on my photos in events. I click on adjust date and time of selected photos and the date that I can edit is the oldest photo date and not the earliest. Help?

iPhoto should be showing you the date of the first photo you selected.
What do you want to achieve? It should not matter, which photo you select to adjust the time, because all photos will be corrected by the same fixed increment, if you use "Adjust Date and Time".
If you want to set all photos to the same time, use "Photos > Batch Change > Set Date to" instead.

How can I change the colors of a photo?

How can I change the colors in a photo?

No. You'd need an external editor for that kind of stuff:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Of course, you may not want to change the shape of a photo which would distort it. You may want to print it in an oval shape but undistorted. I'd use a page layout app like Pages for that,

Re: iPhoto '11 referenced library problems

YES!!!
I finally managed to recover my iPhoto library!
But it was not easy. I had to hack into the database file to put up things right.
After a significant amount of trial-and-error, here is the procedure I came to, which finally worked for me (use at your own risk):
0. Make sure you make enough backups so as to revert to the previous state if something goes wrong!
1. Make a copy of your iPhoto Library [Show Package Contents]/Database/apdb/Library.apdb to your desktop.
This file contains most of the data involved for managing your iPhoto data.
2. Open this file using a SQLite database manager.
I used Navicat 9.1, which has nice import-export features. For direct editing, Base 2.0 is may be easier.
3. Open the table RKMaster.
This table contains all records for the individual pics of your library.
4. Correct the path of each of your pic files in the imagePath column to their current filepath.
This contains the path of your pic files at the time they were imported, and is not updated by iPhoto even though you have moved your pic files somewhere else.
If you have several thousands of paths to correct, a good idea is to export this column to a text file (also including the modelId column for referencing), and to correct paths using the substring Search&Replace function of your favorite text editor. Be sure to re-import the corrected data properly using the modelId column as references.
5. If needed, correct in the same manner the content of the fileVolumeUuid column to the value of the drive currently containing your picfiles.
If needed, obtain this value considering a pic which was recently imported from that drive.
6. If your drive name was modified, also correct its name in the name column of the RKVolume table.
Identify the proper record by considering its uuid previously obtained.
7. If you're happy with your work, quit the database managing program and put Library.apdb back in its original location inside your iPhoto Library.
Keep the older somewhere in case something goes wrong.
8. Run iPhoto to see if your work is successful!
At this point, you might consider rebuilding the Photo Library (hold alt-cmd while launching iPhoto) and choose Repair the iPhoto Library Database (Be sure to leave the Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup unchecked!). This might correct some possible unconsistencies resulting from your edits. Also, a good thing might be to rebuild all thumbnails. If iPhoto does not bug you for locating files during that process, you have possibly done your work right! If not, back to step 1.
As said, this worked for me, with no visible inconsistencies or side effects to be noticed in the behavior of iPhoto (at least for now). But possibly some knowledgable people might comment and improve that process, and some database script guru might also help automating this. Please comment.
Lessons learned (How I understand the things as far as I know):
A. Library.apdb stores the initial drive and path of the pic files at the time they were imported. This is not modified as the files are moved around.
B. Some other data (BLOBs?) is used to track the files at their actual location. Therefore, it seems OK to move the pic files after they were imported.
C. Unfortunately, this other data is broken if the file is recreated (even with same content and location), for example with a file-based backup and restore (Time Machine).
D. In that case, iPhoto is unable to recover the file if its current drive and path does not match the one when the file was imported, stored in the database. Also there is no mechanism in iPhoto to correct this data.
E. Therefore, it is very important to import pic files in iPhoto only when these are already in their final location! If not, your iPhoto Library won't survive a TimeMachine backup and restore! (Possibly, a block-based drive backup could work... I don't know).
F. ...And Apple should really, really fix this issue! (By correcting the stored filepath and drive to the current file location at least when the database is repaired, and by offering at least some basic file reconnection options).

Create an mp4 from mov without changing the dimensions

I am working on a project in InDesign that needs to output to DPS.
I take screen capture movies which are saved in the default mov format. These movies are 700 px x 400 px. That can't change.
I need to convert the mov to an mp4 to add to ID for DPS.
I open Adobe Media Encoder but I am confused as to how to set the output controls.
I don't want to change the dimensions.
What setting will convert the mov to mp4 without changing the dimensions?

Does this help?

How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

Hey,
The best way to do this is to select all the clips by holding down the shift key or command key if the clips you want to change are not all right next to each other and then selecting each clip that you want to change. Then double-click on the clips which will open up the inspector tab and then you can change the duration. If you want to just change all clips to the same duration just double-click on one of the photos and in the inspector tab next to the durationt tab you will see a box that says "add duration to all clips". If you click that, when you change the duration all the photos will change to that duration. That will then change the duration of all the clips at the same time.

Ibooks changes the dimensions of cover image

I have been working on an epub using Calibre as the converter platform. I have used the program in the past and it always works until now. I am working on a new book and the cover image dimensions are changed in iBooks. The image looks correct when I view it in an image viewer.
I have revised the cover image several times to change the dimensions, change the file size, modify the pixel count. The current dimensions are 1500 by 2400 pixels which is a size I have used before. The file size is 226kB. Any suggestions on how to get the cover image to show up correctly?

You don't think it would be that hard to get ACR to better match the in-camera engine...
I understand if its not able to read the "special" in camera user settings, such as increase saturation, etc as that may be proprietary...
But it (ACR) already knows what type of camera you are using... It would be nice if Adobe would make it at least set to better match the out-of-box camera settings per camera... it would be a much better starting point than the flat, discolored images I see, IMHO.
Example... the reds in my Rebel XT RAW's always come up orange, both in LR and ACR.

Using Aobe Photoshop Elements 6: 1. How to download photos in the same order as on the smart card from which I downloaded them? 2. Changing the date on each photo

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6:
1. How can I get the 2000 photos I downloaded in the same order as on the smart card from which I downloaded them? (This will help me label them correctly)
2. How can I change the date on each photo? (I want to sort by date the picture was taken, not the date it was downloaded.
Thank you!

You indicated that the images "seemed" to be in the right order. It might be a good idea to rename the images on export using a custom name/sequence. If you have done that and the images are still not in order, it's possible that your operating system browsing window is using a different sort order. I sometimes change windows explorer to sort by file type, and then files are sometimes in what seems be a strange order.

Why has adobe acrobat changed the dimensions of my original jpeg file?

Why has adobe acrobat changed the dimensions of my original jpeg file? I uploaded an A3 jpeg file and adobe converted it to pdf but the scale is all wrong. Why is this? What can I do about it?

Normally if you open a graphic in Acrobat, it automatically adjusts the PDF to the size of the graphic. It sounds as though you are doing something else to create a PDF. It would help to know how you created the PDF, you seem to be suggesting you did it with an online tool and not Acrobat. In that case you should go to the appropriate product forum.

Change the dimensions of a text block

ok, so all I want to do is.. change the dimensions of a text
block. In the manual all it says is "use the resize handles". While
this is ok it is painfull to make an exact size. Say I want to make
a text block 300px wide.. all I can seem to do is make a text box
and adjust the width manually untill I'm close. If I set a width in
the properties panel the text gets streached. If I then look at the
transform panel the width might be 120%?? is there a way to easily
set the size without actionscript?
Thanks,
Marc

Hello,
You can create your own Text Captions, but will have to create both a FCM and BMP-file. Have a look in the Gallery\Captions to see what I mean.
Another option, if you do not need the small triangles that you can have in default Text Captions (callouts?), is to create a rectangle (or oval or polygon) and by double-clicking on this drawing object you can insert Text as well. It is easy to change the fill color of those drawing objects.
