Contact photos too small

Okay I don't know how else to word this without sounding silly so I'll just bite the bullet.
Back in the day and even when you see people using iPhones on television or in movies; the photos that come up for your contacts are big, recognizable from a distance.
This seems to have never been the case since I joined the iPhone family during the release of iOS4.  Is there something I can do to create/restore that functionality or are we stuck with tiny pictures in the corner?

Hi !
Tried taking pics from the camera IN contact but same problem. In fact, when i try to edit the pic again and choose Edit Photo , the pic looks very smudged ! Odd ! Besides, some pics work ok too even if they are transferred from my Gmail account via Exchange !

  • Aperture web site photos: too small

    The photos on web sites created in Aperture are too small for me. Is there any way to upsize them?
    (And besides, can I eliminate the technical details?)
    Thank you very much!

    Yes, you can customize the layout.
    To change the size of the photo on the detail page, select the "Detail" view and change the layout parameters "Fit images within" .
    To change the "details" edit the metadata preset used for the page:
    Select a Metadata preset, that has only the tags that you want to display or set it to "None".

  • AirPrint works but it prints photos too small

    AirPrint can find my Epson Artisan 810 and it prints photos but somehow it prints them very small. 4 x 6 photo is printed in 1.5 x 2.5 dimensions. I do not know how I can fix this.

    That's not an AirPrint capable printer so you'll want to check with the maker of your printer sharing software. If you enabled AirPrint printer sharing using one of the clever, backdoor methods floating around then you might want to check with Epson.
    I have an HP C310 and the photos print at the proper size.
    Probably the first thing to do is to make sure you have the latest Epson driver installed. Are you sharing your printer through a Mac or a Windows machine?

  • Animated photos too small

    I want to put looping photos on my biz web site. I exported those photos from iPhoto to quicktime then inserted the QT movie into my webpage - and it plays but the photos are way too itty bitty to see. I've tried changing the dimensions of them when I export from iphoto but it doesn't make any difference - they're the same tiny size. How to adjust them????

    Select the movie.
    Open the Inspector.
    Click the yellow ruler.
    Click *Use Original size*
    Otherwise: [Create a Banner movie|http://www.wyodor.net/iWebBlogTest/Wyodor_1/Artikel.html]

  • How can I sort my photos by size?  I need to get rid of those which are too small to print.

    Is there a way to sort individual photos in iphoto by size.  (I know you can sort photos in finder- picture by size, but mine are in iphoto). I am organizing my thousands of photos into files within iphoto in order to print hundreds.  I am finding that many are too small to ever print (20-30kb) , and would like to delete those en masse rather than waste time sorting them, but cannot find a way to do that.  Does anyone know if there is a way?  It would be a terribly useful function.  Also, sorting by size would enable you to resize photos that take massage amounts of room unneccesarily.  Thanks for any info.

    No there is no way to do this.
    Also, sorting by size would enable you to resize photos that take massage amounts of room unneccesarily.
    No it wouldn't. There's no way to change the filesize in iPhoto, it always preserves the original file.

  • "Large" email photo attachments too small

    For no apparent reason my email photo attachments are now too small. "Actual size" will render a 4Mb jpeg true to size. However, Large, Medium and Small give a 10 Kb image. This was never the case until just recently. I've just realized that the screen grab below is also very small.  Cheers, jp

    My apologies - I have discovered that the issue is not apple related but caused by a new RAW converter I am using. Cheers, jp

  • How to get a contact photo appears like in iphone ad (small on top right corner) when dialing or receive a call?

    Hello everybody, I just want to make any contact photo appears in right top corner as appears on iPhone Ads (small - Top right corner), I mean not Full screen.  when I make or receive a call??

    Hi,
    It comes up with a Small Contact image as it is Linked to the Facebook or Twitter Account.
    But if you edit the Contact and Upload the Image its not possible to get the Small Contact Image.
    A Contact needs to be linked to an Account.
    You can signin to Facebook and Update the Facebook Contact through:
    SETTINGS > FACEBOOK > Turn ON Contacts > UPDATE CONTACTS.
    Then,
    Go To CONTACTS > GROUPS > Select FACEBOOK.
    You Phone Contact will get Linked to the Phone Contacts with Small Contact Images.
    Check It....
    HOPE THIS RESOLVES YOUR ISSUE.

  • Contact photo's show us too large?

    Not a big deal but just wondering if anyone else is experiencing or have even noticed when some of your contacts call you their contact photo is too big for the screen? Like it was resized or something? I upgraded from 3G to IP4 so I'm sure that's the problem but is it a photo compatibility issue or something else?

    Hello. I'm having the *exact same issue* since restoring up my iPhone 4 as a new phone.
    When a call comes in or when calling someone on my contact list, the photo associated with the contact person is *skewed larger*. Too big for the screen.
    Other than resizing every photo in your contact list, have you found a fix for this issue yet?
    Thanks.

  • The photos are far too small on Ipad ?

    I need to find out why the photos are way too small on the Ipad.  I used a filter on a photo then sent it to a friend .  Way to small to use for any purpose.
    any way to make larger? 

    I have the same problem and cannot tackle it down yet. Using handbrake and itunes to sync movies and the subtitles are very small.
    Hope someone could help.

  • I updated my iphone to ios 7.1.1 and after that my contact photo when i call or call others to me is a small cycle of that picture i choose ... How can i make a big picture when i call my contant and when others call me ?

    I updated my iphone to ios 7.1.1 and after that my contact photo when i call or call others to me is a small cycle of that picture i choose ... How can i make a big picture when i call my contant and when others call me ?

    It's not clear why Apple made this change; speculation (which is not really allowed in these forums) is that it was done to protect the privacy of the caller.

  • Photos upload too small on the internet!!!!!

    when i upload photos from iphoto onto myspace/facebook the photos upload smaller then they are in iphoto, is there a way i can fix this??

    I think iPhoto is storing or making a 360*240 Thumnail or iPod pic to go with the original & that's what is getting uploaded.
    I don't know how it works, but if you could get the big pic say in another APP & save it, send that, I think it would work, like say GraphicConverter...

  • Slideshow Photos Displaying Too Small?

    I have just created my third site in iWeb and did it identically to my first two. They are very basic and each has a photo page where you can see photos, enlarge them and view a slideshow. Problem is that this third site is bringing up the enlarged photos and slideshow photos much smaller than the other two sites. As stated I did everything the exact same. Any ideas on why my third site is not behaving correctly.
    Here are the three sites. #3 is the issue. Thanks for any help!

  • Contact photo not updating widget

    Hello...heres the short version:
    I have a widget of a contact...and my contacts are sync'ing with Facebook...When my contact updates their photo on Facebook; my Contact App updates; but my widget does not.
    Heres the longer version:
    Okay I know there are two ways to create a widget/contact.  For instance....lets say you have a Contact named John Smith...lets say you talk to him more than anyone so you want a Fast Shortcut....and John Smith has a full fledged Facebook Profile.  John Smith has his name, phone numbers, address, and more.  So you want a quick and easy way to get access to John Smith; right?
    Theres two ways to create this shortcut on one of your homescreens....The first option I'm sure everyone will do is to hold down on part of your screen and choose 'add widget'...as you scroll thru you will come across a 'Contact' widget...its a 1x1 size...which is the size of any app on your homescreen...so you click it and drag it to a space on your homescreen.  Next it will bring up your full conact list...here you will scroll down and select John Smith.  John Smith now appears on your homescreen pages.  Click the "icon" and you have quick access to Name/Phone Numbers/Address/Facebook/and Maybe More
    Now lets say John Smith updates his photo on Facebook, you know this cause you just launched Facebook an hour ago....so you go into your Contact List...and you're like "hmmm no updated photo"...so you go into your Settings>Accounts>Facebook>And you see the last time it sync'd with your phone...which was 1 day ago...you're thinking "okay no biggie theres a 'sync now' option"  Voila.....Your Contact App now reflects his updated photo....so you back out of your Contacts or you Click your Home Button and you see that..........yep....his photo didnt update.  So you remove the battery...you reboot device....,and no go.
    Now you could just remove this shortcut and re add it but what if you were accustomed to previous cell phones that automatically updated the photo?  This is where I am landing...I'm here asking if the Galaxy S4 has this feature?
    Ahhh dont forget theres another option to go by......
    So remember I said the common way of adding the shortcut was going thru Widgets?  Well theres 1 more way of adding a contact to your home screen....and that is...going into your contacts...find the one you want...John Smith...Hold down on the screen til a menu appears and if you scroll to bottom (Galaxy S4) theres an option that says "Add shortcut to Home Screen".  And voila...theres John Smith on your homescreen...His photo is the Icon/App that again you have easy/quick access to all the numbers he published...his Map (Address) and a quick link to Facebook + others if he has it....
    But again when John Smith updates his Facebook Profile pic....and you know cause you just exited it...You re sync' under Settings and again while it reflected on your Contact App...it still didnt affect your Shortcut!
    So my previous Cell phone was a Motorola Droid Razr (1st Edition)....my droid razr did have that feature...when someone changed their profile pic it would reflect the widget too.
    The Galaxy S4 (for me) doesnt do that....my Contact Photo still changes when I manually perform a Sync and it shows up in the Contact App, but it doenst reflect the Widget....is this natural for Samsung?  Or is my Device not working correctly?
    Thanks

    Heres an update:
    Okay whether you use the Widget to add a contact to your homescreen
    Or you go into contacts; find your contact and hold down to select menu that says "add shortcut"
    Either way....if they have a photo it will product a photo icon on your homescreen.
    Everyone knows this....however what I did find out is that when a person has a Facebook linked with that contact and they update a photo; when you click that Shortcut their updated photo will appear in that small window of theirs...however it wont update your shortcut you created....does that make sense?
    As to why? I dont know

  • How do you make a contact photo bigger?

    When I select a person in my contact list, it shows a little picture, name, phone number, etc. The pictures are too small for me to see. How do I make the pictures bigger? I tried tapping on the picture, doing the two-finger motion to zoom in, etc.

    There is no way to change the size of the contact photo. If the person calls you will see a full screen image of them.
