Controlling level of JPEG compression when exporting from iPhoto 6?

Hi all,
I'm wondering whether one can adjust the level of JPEG compression when exporting images?
I'm still on iPhoto 4 that unfortunately doesn't offer this option and by default produces fairly large images that aren't well suited for web presentations.
I'd be happy to upgrade to iPhoto 6 for that feature alone.
Cheers Martin

HI Martin,
There is no compression option in the File>export window. You can however input size dimensions so a 2592x1944 can be exported to any 4x3 value such as 800x600

  • Inaccurate GPS data when exporting from iPhoto

    I'm trying to export geotagged photos from iPhoto, and I'm experience some odd behavior.
    1) When I tag the photos outside of iPhoto, the photos' geo information comes up correctly in Places, but when I try to export the photo (either drag to desktop or File > Export > File Export and set +Kind: Current+ ) I get the correct latitude but the longitude is on the other side of the world according to Preview. (My best guess, I'd say about 180° off.) If I export the same photo but set +Kind: JPEG+ the location info in Preview looks fine.
    2) I see similar behavior when I try to export a photo I geotag within iPhoto. If I drag-export or File > Export with +Kind: Current+ (as above), the exported file has no geo info, but if I export with +Kind: JPEG+ it's fine.
    I'm trying to geotag photos for a friend and then send the pics back to him, but I don't want to re-compress them. Has anyone else encountered this and come up with a workaround?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Seems like iPhoto may not be well suited for working on other people's photos since it requires an import/add followed by an export. iPhoto isn't really build for this sort of thing.
    Instead you might try something like Graphic Converter. You can browse your folders (no importing necessary) and Geocode photos by using Google Earth to locate the positions. GC will then apply that current Earth location to any selected photos with a menu item. This writes the data directly to the photos so no need to export either and it doesn't effect the photos in any way by re-compressing or otherwise processing the photos themselves.
    Best of luck,
    Patrick

  • Data lost when exporting from iPhoto?

    When exporting photos from iPhoto, the descriptions of the photos (here bird and animal names) get lost.  Is this true, or are we doing it incorrectly?
    Thanks!
    Ed

    It depends on how you exported.  To get the ITPC fileds written to the file it must be exported via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = JPEG and the two checkboxes checked:
    That will embed the metadata into the exported file.

  • How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

    Hi,
    I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
    When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
    I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
    Thanks,

    Kyzelios,
    How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
    "Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

  • Audio Levels are completely different when exported from Premiere to Audition?

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've adjusted the audio gain and volume levels on an interview I'm editing and it sounds pretty darn good in Premiere Pro. I exported the sequence to Audacity to do some hiss removal but quickly realized everything is different. The volume levels are way to high on lots of my clips? Why is this? I cannot really work with it in this current state because it would mean re-doing lots of work I've already done in Premiere. Any one got any ideas?
    All the best
    Kevin 

    Also, in the sequence the Edit in Audition option is greyed out? I can't round trip and work through the clips individually? Is there something I need to switch on or something?

  • Video but no audio when exporting from iPhoto

    I have very small (30 sec) clips of video from a digital camera downloaded into iPhoto. When I export or share a clip to QuickTimePro 7, iMovie, my desktop, or e-mail the video goes, but no audio. I have tried so many different ways, I can't even remember what I've done. Can anyone help? I'm at my wits end, and it's a video of my baby laughing for the first time and I want to send it to everyone!!!

    With the video open in the QuickTime Player, choose Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, click on the Resources tab, control-click on the entry which contains the file's location on your computer, and choose Show in Finder from the menu which appears. Once the file has been located, download MPEG Streamclip and use it to convert the file; save the converted file on the desktop.

  • Exporting from iPhoto 09 to Windows 7

    I wish to transfer some photos from my MacBook Pro to my daughter. She uses a Windows 7 PC and she shares our network at home.
    I have exported a few photos which have captions and Keywords.
    When she views the photos using Windows Live Photo Gallery she can see the photos and the captions but not the keywords.
    When exporting from iPhoto I have used File>Export, have chosen JPEG, Maximum Size and have ticked the box to include Title and Keywords.
    My questionsa are:
    1) Why are the Keywords not showing in Windows Live Gallery? They are not shown in 'People Tag' or Descriptive Tag' (I have exported them to a folder on my Mac and can see the Keywords when I check Properties.) And is there anything I can do to make them viewable in Windows Live Gallery?
    2) When I view Properties on my daughter's PC it shows under 'Origin' Quick Time 7.7.1 along with the date and time the photos were taken. Why would it show 'Quick Time'?
    Many thanks,
    Peter

    The reason is that whatever software your daughter is using is not supporting Exif and IPTC standards. Get your daughter to use an app that does.
    The QuickTime part is a never-no-mind. It just means that there were exported on a Mac. QuickTime is multi-media substructure on the Mac.

  • Export from iPhoto with limited ppi.

    I need to submit a photo that is 1000 ppi in its longest dimension. When exporting from iPhoto, you can select small, medium, large and original. Or go the custom route, in which case the dimension is listed as "px." How do I convert to ppi? Thank  you.

    you can not - PPI is Pixels per inch - digital photos have no inches so you can not have PPI
    in the export dialogue you can select the number of pixels for the largest dimension - see the user tip on exporting for export options

  • Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

    Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
    Hi,
    I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
    When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
    Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

    To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
    Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
    Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

  • Jpeg quality when exporting

    Is there a way to adjust the jpeg quality when exporting or editing? I can change the image size, which is helpful, but it would be nice if I could change the jpeg compression in order to reduce the file size. Thanks!

    Hi Stanleydad,
    i noticed from you other post that you are using AOL.
    In iPhoto Preferences, have you chosen AOL as your email client.
    Once you do this, when you choose an images within iPhoto and click the email icon, iPhoto will open your AOL mail client and attach the photos with the size you chose in the export dialog.
    You might even want to make a new post that is all yours so it is easier for us to address all your needs.
    Give us the version of iPhoto you are using, the Mail client (AOL) and any other information on what you want to do and we will tell you how to accomplish it.

  • Large PDF file sizes when exporting from InDesign

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knew why some PDF file sizes are so large when exporting from ID.
    I create black and white user manuals with ID CS3. We post these online, so I try to get the file size down as much as possible.
    There is only one .psd image in each manual. The content does not have any photographs, just Illustrator .eps diagrams and line drawings. I am trying to figure out why some PDF file sizes are so large.
    Also, why the file sizes are so different.
    For example, I have one ID document that is 3MB.
    Exporting it at the smallest file size, the PDF file comes out at 2MB.
    Then I have another ID document that is 10MB.
    Exporting to PDF is 2MB (the same size as the smaller ID document)... this one has many more .eps's in it and a lot more pages.
    Then I have another one that the ID size is 8MB and the PDF is 6MBwhy is this one so much larger than the 10MB ID document?
    Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how I can reduce the file size.
    I've tried adjusting the export compression and other settings but that didn't work.
    I also tried to reduce them after the fact in Acrobat to see what would happen, but it doesn't reduce it all that much.
    Thanks for any help,
    Cathy

    > Though, the sizes of the .eps's are only about 100K to 200K in size and they are linked, not embedded.
    But they're embedded in the PDF.
    > It's just strange though because our marketing department as an 80 page full color catalog that, when exported it is only 5MB. Their ID document uses many very large .tif files. So, I am leaning toward it being an .eps/.ai issue??
    Issue implies there's something wrong, but I think this is just the way
    it's supposed to work.
    Line drawings, while usually fairly compact, cannot be lossy compressed.
    The marketing department, though, may compress their very large TIFF
    files as much as they like (with a corresponding loss of quality). It's
    entirely possible to compress bitmaps to a smaller size than the
    drawings those bitmaps were made from. You could test this yourself.
    Just open a few of your EPS drawings in Photoshop, save as TIFF, place
    in ID, and try various downsampling schemes. If you downsample enough,
    you'll get the size of the PDF below a PDF that uses the same graphics
    as line drawing EPS files. But you may have to downsample them beyond
    recognition...

  • What is the best settings to use in the export manager when exporting from Aperture 3.5 to Photoshop cc.  tiff? psd? 16bit? dpi?

    What are the best settings to use in the export manager when exporting from Aperture 3.5 to Photoshop cc for editing? 
    Should I use tiff or psd?
    8bit or 16bit?
    How many dpi?

    That will depend on the photometric resolution of your originals. For jpegs it would be a waste of space to convert them to a higher resolution than 8bit, but if your images actually have already more than 8bit, you will want to preserve this quality. Then he 16bit format will help to prevent color clipping.
    Both tiff and psd will preserve the lossless workflow. With Photoshop as external editor I would use he psd format for better support of layers and transparency, e.g., when you want to create watermark files.
    The dpi will only matter, when you export the file for printing.

  • Saturation Loss When Exporting from Lightroom.

    This happens to me when exporting from Lightroom 2 or 3. It happens regardless of the color profile, file format, bit depth, image size, compression, or the method of export. I regularly profile my one-year-old iMac monitor with an Eye One Display 2. My working color space for Photoshop CS4 is ProPhoto. After exporting, I am viewing the images in Photoshop, Safari, Firefox and Apple Preview, with the same result. I have used pretty much all the available export methods in Lightroom, including exporting with Lighroom ad-ons such as SlideshowPro. And, conversely, if I edit an image to my liking ourside of Lightroom, there is a saturation increase when I import it into Lightroom.  The effect tends to be most obvious and bothersome with shots taken outside on sunny days, with lots of blues and greens.  I am shooting raw files with a Canon 5d II and I use the Adobe Standard profile in Lightroom.
    There is a section at the back of Martin Evening's Lightroom book where he talks about the Lightroom color space and Lightroom versus Photoshop curves, which seems to relate to what I am seeing, but I have the feeling that what I seeing is more pronounced than what he is talking about there.  It is a real dullng of the look, not merely a slight difference in how the colors are rendered.

    Looks like Lightroom doesn't like your display profile.
    Try removing the profile (don't know how to do it on a Mac) to leave your display uncalibrated. Are the colors still different in Lightroom and Photoshop?

  • IDVD Stops Responding when Exporting from iMovie

    I'm using iDVD and iMovie (from iLife 06 and fully up to date) on a MacPro (also up to date on all software, MacOSX, Quicktime etc).
    This proceedure has worked before several times but now results in a non-responding iDVD every time I try it, including an archive and re-install and a complete new install of OSX and all software on a new partition.
    What I'm doing.....
    [1] Recording a TV programme on EyeTV (410) and exporting it to iMovie - sucessful every time
    [2] Edit the iMove project and add chapter markers and save project - no problem.
    [3] Export to iDVD - iDVD shows exporting in progress and whilst this is still showing iDVD launches
    [4] iDVD starts playing the music from a std theme for a few seconds and then stops. Then resumes the music after resizing the window and then after a couple of more seconds freezes. From the Dock I can see that iMove and iDVD are "not responding"
    [5] Eventually iMovie completes it's "export" and then starts responding normally. iDVD continues to show as non responding although I can move the window around the screen. I have to force quit iDVD to get it to close down.
    I have tried:
    Re-exporting the project from EyeTV
    Deleting the preferences files for iMove and iDVD
    Deleting the iLife suite and re-installing
    Doing an OSX archive and re-install
    Installing a fresh OSX (10.4.8) on a different drive and installing fresh software
    Running Disk Utility - clean bill of health on both drives
    Repaired permissions
    The Console reports the following errors when exporting from iMove to iDVD:

    Result - problem persists. I'm at a loss as what to do next. Any suggestions greatfully received.

    Yes, tried that when I deleted the preferences. Disk Utility did not report any permissions needed repairing.
    What really mystifies me is that this export to iDVD did work once and I expected it to resume once I'd created a fresh OSX install along with all the iLife apps on a new partition, but it remained the same!
    Perhaps there is some sort of other software conflict going on? I have Adobe CS2, MS Office, Toast and FMP installed all are latest editions. On the utilities front I have installed Stuffit Deluxe, Internet Cleanup, Contour USB controller for video editing and a LogicTech wireless trackball. Again all the drivers are the latest releases.
    Does anyone know if there are any preferences associated with the other not responding applications listed in my other post that I could try the delete-reboot trick on?

  • Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

    Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
    Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

    Try turning off GPU acceleration.
