Click to enlarge photos?

I am new to iWeb and would like the readers of my site to enlarge any photo by simply clicking on it. However, this does not seem possible with the template I am working on. I have dragged my photos from the Media Browser and I have also tried copying directly as on each occasion, i Web automatically reduced the file size - most of my photos are 3-4 MB.
Can someone please help?

I think you have to use a "Photos" page template for this to work automatically.
Or I suppose you could select your smaller image on whatever regular page it is on, and in inspector create a hyperlink and select "Link to File" and select the larger photo as the file you want to link to and this would cause clicking on the small image to open (or download, depending on the visitor's browser settings) the larger image.

  • What's the best way to do a simple click-to-enlarge photo?

    The slideshow and presentation widgets seem a bit elaborate for the purpose.

  • How can I click on a photo to enlarge it in a separate box?

    How can I click on a photo on my webpage and show an enlarged photo of it?  Everything I read points to "thumbnails" under "slideshows".  I do not need a slideshow, just an enlargement with a text box.  Help.

    If Thumbnails or Lightbox slideshow widgets do not fit your purpose and if its just a placed image on a page that you'd like to show an enlarged version of when clicked, you can simply use the Hyperlinks -> Link to File option to link it with a larger version and select the option to Open the link in a new window or tab from the Hyperlinks tab in the Control bar.
    Following the above method would not allow you to place a text box as its just a static asset that you are linking to, however, you can choose to add the text in an Image editor program (or even Muse for that matter), save and link it. Or you could place the enlarged image on a separate page with text and everything and link the image to the page.
    Thanks,

  • I cannot enlarge photos on Facebook, I only get a BLACK, BLANK screen when I click on them-someone suggested it might be "Screen Resolution Setting"? I've already uploaded new firefox version. Please help!

    I am not able to ENLARGE photos on Facebook, this means photos that friends post on News Feed & photos that I post in my FB photo albums. I only get a BLANK, BLACK screen when I click on individual photos. A friend suggested that I upload the New Firefox, and I did this today, but it did not resolve problem. Friend also suggested that it could be "Screen Resolution Setting"?? OR "Data Rate" too slow?? I do not know how to check these features? Please help! If it could be something else, please let me know. Thank you for your time & help!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

    I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
    Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

  • Can't enlarge photos on web page by double-clicking

    Pleaase go to the following page on my web site:
    http://web.mac.com/htopoff/iWeb/Site/SpecialEvents.html
    Double-Click on the photo of Pluto to enlarge it, and you will see instead, a photo of a baby. That baby photo was the default photo inside the frame when I first created the page. When I dragged my Pluto photo (from iPhoto) onto the frame, it replaced the baby picture. But when I publish the page and someone double-clicks to enlarge the photo, the default baby photo reappears.The same thing happens with my other photo of a nebula. This is not a problem if I insert photos into pages that do not have default photo frames. Does any one know why this happens?

    It might have something to do with the fact that there is so much other stuff on this photo template page. I'm wondering if some of the content impinges somehow on the functionality of the template. I guess your pluto and nebula images didn't get uploaded for some reason. The slideshow is missing the thumbnail photos as well.

  • I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI.  I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.  When I double click on the photo to enlarge it the screen fills with an exclamation mark.  I need to email these photos out.  HELP!

    I have downloaded pictures to iphoto from my Canon Rebel XTI.  I can not email or move any pictures that are vertical.  Also, if I double click on the photo to enlarge it, the screen flills with a big exclamation mark.  I need to email these photos out.  HELP!  Also if I do a slide show with the album, those pictures do not show up.

    This:

    is why you can't do this:

    It means that iPhoto can't find the photos.
    What version of iPhoto?

  • I'm now using iPhoto '11 (9.3.2), and none of the photos in my library will enlarge.  I can view them all as thumbprints, but when I click to enlarge just a black, blank space shows up.  Occasionally, one will enlarge for a second, then disappear.  Help!

    Just to clarify, I am not getting an "!" mark in a triangle, as I read others have experienced.  The screen is just blank except the grey flag in lefthand corner to flag the photo.

  • In iPhoto the double click to enlarge a photo is now a ! in a triangle and I am Unable to print from iPhoto. This has just happened out of the blue.

    Hi All.
    In iPhoto I have lost the double click that opensup photos, the double click now appears as a ! in a triangle. At the same time I have lost the print facility in iPhoto. This happened out of the blue and I have been unable to reconcile either problem. Can anyone help please.
    Bill

    The ! means that iPhoto has lost connection to the origianl file.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • When on a website and i click on a photo to enlarge, or open , it opens the box, but nothing is there.

    when I am at a website, and there is a picture that says click to enlarge, I will click on it, a window opens, but nothing is there. this works when just trying to open anything that should open in its own window. I have uninstalled firefox, reinstalled it, upgraded flash player, and java, still no change. At one time facebook and firefox were not working together either, but the upgrades fixed all that.

  • Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

    Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • IWeb site loses functionality (Slide Show and Click to Enlarge)

    I have three iWeb sites, to which I have added Slide Show and Click to Enlarge features on Photo pages. They are all published via web.mac.com.
    Two of them lost these abilities after about a week, although the cursor still changes from an arrow to a hand when passing over Start Slideshow and the various pictures. The other site still functions normally.
    Recommendations?

    This first site works fine; Emma's Web Site and Ellen's Web Site do not. (Please see the links.)

  • When i double click to enlarge i get a gray "!" symbol

    When i double click to enlarge a thumbnail i get a gray "!" symbol, this only seems to happen with certain photos, particularly the ones that are film scanned to a digital format. Why does this happen and how can i view them?

    andrew
    welcome to the apple discussions.
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    Regards

  • I have thumbnails in my library but no enlarged photo

    I have yhumbnails in my library but no enlarged photo.....just an exlamation mark!  Have the photos been lost?  Is there someway to restore the image?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • On eBay when I click on "enlarge image" nothing happens, why???

    eBay pages contain small photos and a button that allows you to open a larger version of the photo in another window. When I click to enlarge nothing happens. This usually occurs following an update to Java or FF and can last up to several months, drives me crazy. Surely there's a quick fix out there. Cheers.
