Cropping from 16:9

I am using iDVD 6.0.3. I have albums in iPhoto that were cropped 1280 X1024(display) for iWeb. Now I want to make a DVD of those albums in 16:9 format. Is opening iDVD in 16:9 format enough, or do I have to go back and re-crop all of my files in the iPhoto albums to 16:9? Will the files automatically be cropped to 16:9 when I import them into iDVD?
Thank you.

I found that I do have to re-crop my images.

  • Undesired cropping from FCP to DVD Studio Pro?

    I start with a QT file exported from FCP 6. The settings are 16:9. The problem is the resulting DVD program I create in DVD Studio Pro plays in regular DVD players with the program-image cropped about 5% at the bottom and 5% at the top. I've tried other settings in DVD Studio Pro, such as using 4:3 or 4:3 pan-and-scan but, obviously, I get warped images (smushed horizontally) or cropped images.
    Any ideas where things are going wrong?

    Are you aware of safe area? If not it sounds like you're seeing the effects of overscan. If you watch the dvd on your computer monitor does it still crop the image? If so at what point are you seeing the cropping? ie does the frame look right in the simulator in dvdsp, how about if you look at the file you've exported from fcp?
    You need to post the fcp capture (clip) settings, sequence settings and the method you're using to export from fcp (ie compressor, qt movie, qt conversion) as well as the encoding settings in dvd sp if you're just doing a qt export from fcp.

  • How do I remove a crop from a clip?

    Hi,
    I have been putting together a selection of clips for a project. I applied a crop to one of the clips... but for some reason other clips have ended up cropped as well. How this happened I do not know. Best I can figure is that the clips I selected after I applied the first crop were also cropped as well.
    I can see the small crop icon in the upper-left corner of the clips but How do I remove the crop... or do I have to remove the clip from the project and start over again???

    CROP will cut off the top and bottom. FIT will letterbox to make it fit.
    You might also check to see if you have turned on Image Stabilization. This works by zooming in, which looks like a crop. You can turn off Image Stabilization in the Inspector under the CLIP tab.

    I am not sure I understand completely. I selected a clip and opened the Inspector, chose "CROP" and then adjusted the crop for that clip.... but exactly how do I turn that off IE reverse the process so that no adjustment is applyed?

  • IPhoto keeps reducing photo size when I crop (from 3MB to 500KB).  I want to keep the edited versions at the higher MB size!  Any help with this?

    I've been using iPhoto for years with good success.  Recently, when I edit and crop artwork photos, it's been saving the cropped photo as a much smaller version, going from around 3MB to only 500KB or smaller.  I need the cropped version to be as big as the original.  Not sure why this is happening but could use some help in making it stop.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    I know that I'm cropping the physical file but in the past this wasn't an issue for the size of the cropped piece.   Even if I take just a little bit away, the file size is somehow getting deeply reduced.  Resolution is still fine on the screen or for a quick email,  but for when I need to make a high quality giclee print for a client, the 500Kb size just won't do.  I need to retain the 2Mb original quality.  I'm attaching the examples here.  And thanks so much for helping !

  • A simple way to apply crop from photo book frame to image version?

    Hi
    Running MacOS X 10.8.5, Aperture 3.4.4
    I have the following workflow for photobooks creation (a custom photobook):
    0) Prepare an album with photos I'd like to create my book from.
    For 99% of my photos I have TIFF files as masters. Not RAW files.
    I use managed library.
    1) Create a book layout (place images, select different crop factors for frames, etc)
    2) Looking at specific page adjust photos using Aperture adjustments (exposure, color balance) to make images to looks similar on the page
    3) A the final step, apply some adjustments from external plugins.
    Here I have the question from subject:
    * The Aperture  sends the whole file to plugin (i.e. some of Nik collection plugins, but it might be a different plugin)
    * But on my photo book page I have a different crop factor (i.e. TIFF master is 2:3, on photo book page I frame it to 1:2)
    * As the result some of the adjustments I did in external plugin are not visible on the photobook page, which produces a different visual effect, which I don't want.
    Currently, to workaround this, I have to manually apply the same crop factor to image version, then make a version copy, open the plugin. Only after these steps Aperture will send the desired crop factor to external plugin.
    This is some sort of technical work which I need to do manually, no brain is involved here - I'm looking to some ways how to automate this.
    As the result, I'd like the crop factor from photo frame from Aperture custom book to be applied to image version.
    Any ideas on scripts/external programs are welcome.
    Thank you!

  • How to remove a crop from selected images

    I need to create different crops on same image from one project, from project, to album, and smart folder i have one lot of crops and now i want to make other crops but the images in the project and blue folders have all the new crops too, how do i get back to a folder with no crops, I'd like to keep the retouches to these images though, i think i should have started differenttl?
    Help appreciated
    Thanks

    Not clear on what you have, but to remove the crop on any given image; you can either clear the check mark in the crop brick or remove the crop adjustment altogether. The crop brick shows in the Adjustment Inspector when you crop an image:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=17%26section=10
    For more info on the crop tool:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=18%26section=6%26 hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292MAD-1013949
    Note - typically, you would create a new version for additional cropped versions of the image. You can use the 'New Version from Master' command (control-click or right-click on image for the menu). This will create a new version to work on that is un-cropped whether the current version is cropped or not, but will not include any other adjustments either.

  • Cropping from Landscape to Portrait

    I have some fun new photos I just took and have been editing in iPhoto '08, but I'm having trouble using the "constrained crop" feature. In the landscape aspect, I want to constrain it to portrait proportions equivalent to the landscape, but its just not letting me. Any help?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First select all of the photos and use the Photos->Revert to Originals menu option. Then try again. If that doesn't help rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • RAW image is being opened in all Adobe programs cropped from left and right!

    I'm already asking this in After Effects community, but this problem is happening in Lightroom as well, and Photoshop.
    My 5Dm3 RAW images are being opened cropped. But Windows Photo Preview opens them completely.
    Please help if you can.

    Geoff the 5D MKIII was introduced about the time of the bug report now marked as "Implemented." I just found this post by Eric Chan on the Photoshop Family site from six months ago and it appears it isn't "implemented" for older camera models, including the Canon 5D MKIII.
    Eric Chan (Camera Raw Engineer) 6 months ago  
    Unfortunately, we can't change the existing 5D3 support (even though technically we know how to do it) because that would post a backward compatibility issue for the images that folks have already shot.  In particular, many 5D3 images that have already been cropped by the user in ACR/Lr would suddenly appear to have a different crop, and that would be far worse.  My suggestion:  If you have a 5D3, don't set the in-camera crop (always leave it to full 3:2 aspect ratio).
    Victoria Brampton suggests (15 days ago) using the DNG Recover Edges plugin-in, and stop using in-camera crop settings.

  • Cropping from 16x9 to 4x3, possible in FCE4?

    I look and look but can't seem to find the place in the manual that talks about this.. can I crop an HD wide video to 4 by 3 dimensions, taking the middle of the image like they do when they bring movies down to TV size?
    I have some productions under way that will be viewed on a regular TV and I'd like my existing HD shots to fill the screen, so I want to crop to the center and change aspect ratio... can I do this?

    Put the edited HD material into a DV sequence. It will automatically scale down so it's letterboxed. If you want it center cut, scale the nested sequence back up so it's cut off left and right, put fills the screen top to bottom.

  • 10x8 image is cropping from left/righ side...can it not crop top/bottom

    i have a family portrain shot and some members are being cropped out...i want it for a frame 8x10
    is there a way i can have all family members in the picture without them bring cropped...it doing my head in...
    what's the best way...

    Hello, short of stretching them, like DFosse half-jokingly suggested, I would suggest to add content on top or below.
    The content aware scale might be able to generate a good sky or ground on top or below the subjects of the photo:

  • I want to take an image that's from my files, no cropped and be able to set up action(s) where I can drop that image behind an 8x10 frame overlay, then the same with a 5x7 frame overlay, then the same image behind a memory mate overlay that's an 8x10 size

    So is there a way to do this using the images right from the camera, where I don't have to crop three different sized images and drag them into the overlays?  I can set up an action for each, but cropping the same image 3x is a pain in the ***..!

    There are.  I did not write you need to learn scripting and write your own scripts.  As I wrote most Photoshop will never write a script.  However I would write every Photoshop user will at times use a Photoshop script to do some automated process for them. 
    I wrote the it would be very hard to do what you want to do would a straight Photoshop action.  Actions on their own can not use logic.  An action would need to to it by brute force.
    However in Photoshop CC Adobe added conditional action support.  With this support it is now possible to create a group of actions to process some conditions.  Like you can separate Landscape from portraits have an Action for processing  landscape images and an other for processing portrait images.
    Size is still hard to deal with for you can have landscape's the are extremely wide to landscapes that are square and portraits the are extremely narrow to those that are almost square.
    Image the extreme aspect ratio will not fill a 8:10 or 5:7  area it resized to 10 and 7 and creating crops the have 8"10 and 5:7 will have images compositions where most of your image content has been discarded.
    Camera images do not have extreme aspect ratio the usually have  3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratios there are exceptions.  When you have print made the are 5x7 and 8x10 by printers  the prints you receive from the printers are center crops from your image files.
    It is very easy to make center crops if aree images have the same aspect ratio and orientation to begin with.  Now with CC you can have seperate actions to the two orientations.
    A general solution would need handle arbitrary aspect ratios the resulting center crop may well not have a satisfactory image composition for source image with extreme aspect ratios.
    Photoshop ship with several scripts users use all the time to process their image.  You may have used some yourself. Do any of these sound familiar to you. Conditional Mode Change, ContactSheetII, Delete All Empty Layers, Export Layers To Files, ExportColorLookupTables,  Fit Image, Flatten All Layer Effects, Flatten All Masks, generate, Image Processor, Layer Comps To Files, Layer Comps To PDF, Lens Correct, Load DICOM, Load Files into Stack, Merge To HDR, Photomerge, Script Events Manager and Statistics.
    My action package as I wrote contains more the a dozen script I wrote to be used in actions to add logic into the actions.
    It would also be extremely easy to create a Photo Collage Template PSD that contains a background layer that has your two frames the 8x10 and 5x7 and also have two alpha channels to map the locations of the images.  That can be batch populated with my script  BatchPicturePackage.
    Photo Collage Toolkit
    Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this A video showing a 5 image collage PSD template  being populates with images:
    The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
    Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
    Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
    Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
    There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
    PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.

  • How to crop 204 x 360 from 1280 x 1080?

    I am using Compressor to set up to crop the video. The crop not show the size I want. Crop custom  left  and right and top and bottom. I want to get specific size to 204 x 360.  How?

    Load your clip into the Browser in Compressor.
    Make copy of a standard preset that has the format you wish (or start from scratch)
    Go to Inspector > Geometry pane > Custom
    Put in the number of pixels you wish to crop from each side/ top and bottom to get the 204x360 image from the original.
    Go to Dimensions (next box down) and change the frame size to 204x360 custom / square
    Save the preset
    apply it to the clip and take a look in the Preview window to see if it does what you want.
    If it needs tweeking, open up the preset in Inspector and make changes,
    Once it is cropping correctly, run compressor.

  • Camera Raw crops my image from left and right

    As you can see in the screen cap, camera raw inside AE opens my timelapse images cropped from left and right. I had this problem before in photoshop too, but never tried to fix it. I'm now in serious trouble and need to find a solution ASAP.

    I'm guessing that you cropped in camera and when you shoot RAW the crop is honored but can be removed. I would use Lightroom. Set up a preset that resets the crop and process all of the frames and then export a png or if you want to do some advanced color correcting in AE, select any of the 32 bit image formats and render your resized images to a specific folder. Then import the images as an image sequence in Premiere Pro or AE and do the rest of the work. Importing an image at a time into AE and sequencing the layers in nuts...IMHO
    One other thing, before you shoot any more images with this camera go through the menu and reset it to not crop your images.

  • How can I save multiple separate edited images from one original file?

    I shoot NEF raw images and am getting used to the way LR5 editing works without altering the file in any way. Now I wonder how I can create multiple edited images this way.

    Thank you, that was spot on. It will help a great deal right now as I am taking multiple crops from shots of the ocean looking for something striking.
    I doesn't seem to matter if I take a copy while editing or before I start editing, I can always reset the original and start again.
    Is it possible to rename the copy? I had a look around here and in LR Help but rename doesn't come together with virtual copy.

  • Flip the crop ratio in camera/photos app?

    In the new photos app, does anyone know how to flip the crop ratio, change it from say 2:3 to 3:2? This used to be simple in iOS 7 and earlier, and it's a common feature of photo apps (iPhoto, Aperture, Pixelmator, etc.), but it seems to be missing from iOS 8.
    Let's say you want to do a portrait crop from a landscape photo using a set ratio like 5 x 7. In iOS 8 there appears to be no way to do this easily. You can flip the photo, edit it while on its side (not a natural view which makes doing a nice crop more difficult), then flip the photo back to its proper orientation, but that's a lot of unnecessary steps.
    Am I missing an easy way to do this?

    Good day!
    I notice no difference to prior to 8.4.
    But maybe the ACR Forum may be a better place for questions realted to ACR.
