(CS5.5 ePub) images size query

Hi all
I had some CS5 documents that I converted to ePub and all the images seems to end up as expected in the ePub when I ticked on "Formatted" in the export options. This meant any sizing/cropping on the page was applied to the images upon export. I'm using CS5.5 now and now when I view my ePubs in iBooks images are different sizes. An example is attached - the three images all looked the same size in CS5's ePub. This problem is only visible in iBooks (see screenshot below) - in ADE they all look as expected.
Looking at the ePub the middle (smaller) image is actually smaller in the OEBPS\Images folder, so Indesign is clearly doing that. The code for the three images is
<div class="Basic-Text-Frame">
  <p class="authors-pic"><img alt="CL-433686-Bradshaw%20et%20al-SimonBradshaw.jpg" class="image" height="72" src="../Images/CL-433686-Bradshaw%20et%20_fmt.jpeg" width="72" /></p>
  <p class="authors-pic"><img alt="CJMcolourheadshotFeb2011.jpg" class="image" height="71" src="../Images/CJMcolourheadshotFeb20_fmt.jpeg" width="71" /></p>
  <p class="authors-pic"><img alt="CL-433686-Bradshaw%20et%20al-IanWalden.JPG" class="image" height="72" src="../Images/CL-433686-Bradshaw%20et_fmt1.jpeg" width="72" /></p>
</div>
I noticed that the middle one is marked to be 71px rather than 72px - I changed that in the code but it didn't help. CS5 didn't add these sizes to the code. If I take them out altogether it doesn't help since the images themselves are different sizes. iBooks doesn't seem to be honouring them.
The images in ID are different sizes and resolutions. I suppose what I need is a way to simulate CS5's "Formatted" setting. I've played around with the settings (Fixed/Relative to Page Size) but to no avail. I've read Cari Jansens's post on "EPUB Export and Relative to Page Size". Anyone suggest the best way forward?
thanks,
Iain

Cari Jensen did some experimenting with the new image export features of EPUB in InDesign CS5.5. Maybe you'll find it helpful:

  • InDesign CS5 ePUBS Image Consistency across platforms

    Hello!
    I have a question I've been asking myself for months, and finally made an account here for the Adobe Forums, which seems to be pretty much the only place with useful information about ePubs.
    I work in a company that's planning on transferring over 70 print modules (between 80-150 pages each) to be available on iPad and Android tablets / phones.
    InDesign CS5 helps a lot, especially with being able to choose Header 1s as Page Breaks.
    But, I seem to be having some issues with a couple of things that's preventing us from publishing these documents to the Apple Store and Androind Market.
    1) Superscript / Subscript not appearing correctly on final product (Though this has been achieved by using Sigil to hack the CSS)
    2) Bullet alignment (The bullets are all aligned perfectly, just not along with the first line, creating a secondary weird indent bug that looks terrible)
    The main issue is pictures. I am using PNG images.   A few months ago, the problem was solved - If I chose NOT to automatically format my images, they appeared perfect on the iPad/iPhone/Galaxy Phone and Galaxy Tab.
    However, we took some time off this project, and now that I'm back on it, Aldiko has a new version, and it seems to break the images.  Now my images in Aldiko are displaying huge, and previously, you'd be able to hold a finger on an image and it would open up full screen to get a closer look, but all of that seems gone now, and I'll only get half of my image at best.
    Checking off to automatically format the images results in terrible low quality images that are so small you can barely see them.
    I've done some research and apparently Aldiko is one of the most used free e-readers for android, so I'd definitely like for our products to display fine on it.
    Any suggestions? Anyone else that experiences similar problems?

    Your question is rather an advanced one. I've observed that most of us who reply to ePUB questions here are still learning to make ePUBs.
    I've been told by someone more knowledgeable about it than I that the link below to the MobileRead Forums would lead you to more experienced ePUB creators who may be more helpful:

  • CS5 ePub images

    In CS3 and apparently CS4 there was an option when exporting out an epub to not optimize/do-anything to the image files. In CS5 it insists on not only resaving them, but also inexplicably re-naming the files.
    So my perfectly taylored and optimized images are now destroyed, and to add insult to injury I have make a copy of my original images, do a batch-rename, and then replace them in the epub file.
    Is there a hidden option anywhere to force it to leave my images alone like it used to do?

    I will also note that in the process of CS5 renaming the files, it seems that file names over a certain length just get truncated, and in my case files that were in a numbered order actually got renamed to a different order! Unbelievable.
    For example, my original files:
    Special-Preview-Comic-01.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-02.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-03.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-04.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-05.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-06.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-07.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-08.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-09.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-10.gif
    What I'm forced to use from CS5:
    Special-Preview-Comic-_opt1.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-_opt2.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-_opt3.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-_opt4.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-_opt5.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-_opt6.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-_opt7.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-_opt8.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-0_opt.gif
    Special-Preview-Comic-1_opt.gif
    The second to last file (Special-Preview-Comic-0_opt.gif) is actually the first numbered image, then the second is beneath that, then it starts over with _opt1 (which is really the third image).

  • Help with image size query

    Hi all,
    Been using Photoshop for ages, and I'm somewhat embarrassed to ask this question...but here goes: I have 4 images that I want to arrange in a tetraptych. There's more than one way to do this, but here's my problem: Each photo is 2400 wide x 2400 pixels high. I want to have a 10 pixel white border around the 4 images, and 10 pixels in between each image. I then create a new document 9650 pixels wide by 2450 pixels high and move each photo into the new document so that they align with each other. I then use the arrow keys to nudge the photos 10 pixels (assuming each arrow tap is 1 pixel). For some reason there is still not enough space to have the images align with the correct border. I hope this makes sense, but I'm obviously missing something?
    Cheers,
    Paul

    Many thanks for the quick reply...much appreciated. I've managed to get what I want via a quick tutorial I found online. Just increased the canvas size on one of the images and pasted the others in. Yes, I made an error with the height (2420 is correct), Cheers!

  • Amusing little image size/dpi bug in CS5

    Has anyone else discovered PS CS5 applying nearly random dpi settings to newly opened documents?  This is not a destructive bug, as far as I can tell, but when I open "Image Size," PS will sometimes give me a whacko value for dpi (something like 1.2 or 3.4) with appropriately expanded dimensions.  I then reset the dpi to something sane (72, 300, whatever it ought to be), and the image dimensions return to what they ought to be.
    No biggee, but I don't like signs of random mischief in my software, and would like to find out if this is a known issue.
    I did, incidentally, run "image size" and "dpi" through the PS help forum search engine to see if this has been discussed recently.  Came up with a big "no" both times.  Seems like that's another piece of software that is largely decorative.
    Thanks for any light,
    Richard Hurley

    Haven't seen that, but there are bugs in, for example, the JPEG writing software in some cameraphones.
    I had one phone that insisted all the photos taken with it were at zero dpi. That caused some problems.
    I had a different phone which reported that all photos taken with it were at something like six-million dpi. Closer inspection of the file revealed that it was trying to write some fairly normal dpi, but was getting the byte-order wrong.
    If your new images are coming from the same device or application, it might be worth checking the documents in Preview.app, and doing a "Show Inspector" (command-I) on the image and see what Preview thinks about it.

  • CS5 Image Processor - One script, different image sizes and save locations

    Hello guys!
    is it possible to make one script to convert several images to different image sizes which should be saved in different locations?
    The xml structure is clear, but photoshop accepts only the second "script" if i load a test xml file with two scripts in it.
    Thanks a lot !!!
    Best Regards,

    Hey!
    i solved the problem with an action in which i changed the picture size 4 times (4 times saving for web included)
    its perfect for my needs!
    thanks anyway

  • Photoshop CC not displaying correct image sizes, among other issues.

    Hey, so I'd like a bit of help here!
    I got my new laptop from the school a couple of weeks ago and photoshop’s been funky ever since I got it. It’s a brand new Macbook, and it's running Photoshop CC.
    First things first, it won’t recognize some of the brushstrokes I make. It will show that I've made them, but they won’t show up in the history panel. I'll have to make another stroke for it to register both of them. (Making undoing things a real pain.) Also, some of the keyboard shortcuts I use won't work in a really similar way. If I go to switch to my brush by pressing b, it occasionally won't register it unless I make an additional brush stroke. This works with all of the other shortcuts I use.
    In addition, file sizes are all kinds of messed up. Here’s the most recent example. The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
    Here’s another example. This one is 1254 x 1201, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB, shown at 100% zoom. The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M. I don’t feel like that’s right? I don't remember any other versions of Photoshop having images be that large.
    Maybe it’s my computer settings? Right now I have the resolution set on "best for display," but even if i use the "scaled" option and change sizes, the images are still too small.
    I don't know if I would be able to uninstall and then re-install Photoshop because the school has control over those sorts of things and there are certain programs that you cannot remove. I've tried restarting the program as well as the laptop, but neither of those helped.
    if anyone can help me, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!

    For generic performance and trouble-shooting advice I’d like to recommend reading these:

    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html
    As for the specifics:
    The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M.
    If you double the dimensions of an image the area is increased fourfold – so what is the problem there?
    The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
    The introduction or Retina (and other high resolution) displays and browsers actually up-scaling images to accommodate those screen resolutions seems to have confused some users about the concept of pixels.
    Could you please post a full size screenshot on this Forum of the image at View > 100% in Photoshop and on tumblr?

  • Aperture/Photoshop plug in and image size

    I'm having a problem I don't really understand.  I have Aperture 3 and I have CS5 that I'm trying to use as a plug-in for Aperture.  This is half an Aperture question and half a Photoshop one so I hope someone can answer it for me.
    In Photoshop I made an "action" that is a sort of raised beveled watermark for my photos. 
    I open one of my images in Aperture and "fix" it - soften the skin, blur the background (whatever...) then I go to the top menu item "Photos" and go down and pick "edit with Adobe CS5."  And my image opens in Photoshop.  I go to the menu and pick the watermark action but when it works my watermark can't really be "read" because it's not fitting on the photo, it's too big and falls off the edges.  The photo is 1241x1280 px.
    But here is the odd thing.  If I take that same photo, the very same size 1241x1280 and open it directly in photoshop, completely bypass Aperture, and run the watermark action, it's actually a bit small (but usable) it fits fine in the very same photo!  When I check the image size in Photoshop it is the same size (regardless of if I open in photoshop directly or go there from Aperture).
    So this problem only seems to happen when I edit the photo from Aperture.  I'm new to both Aperture and Photoshop (crazy to try and learn 2 programs at once) and I don't know if I can make just the watermark layer in photoshop smaller.  But again it fits fine if I apply it directly from Photoshop bypassing Aperture.
    Does anyone know why this happens and how I can make the watermark work?  Or can I make a watermark in Aperture?
    Thanks for any help,
    Susan

    Like I said when I rescale it they way you said to do in photoshop it changes the size and distorts it a bit.
    If you hold down the 'Shift + Option' keys while scaling, the text, shape or raster object will not distort and will resize from the center (AKA - maintain aspect ratio).
    I run the full version of PS, so am not sure if the commands are exactly the same if you are running PS Elements, but there is a command at 'Layer menu > Layer Style > Scale Effects..' which can be used for scaling the bevel settings to match the scaling of the watermark item.
    One exact way to do this in PS full version is to choose the Edit > Transform > Scale command and then use the option bar fields under the main menu bar to change the 'H' (Height) and 'W' (Width) percentages equally (to say 70% in each) and then use the aforementioned 'Layer........Scale Effects' command and enter 70% in that dialog. This should reduce the watermark and effects appropriately without distortion.
    Note - indeed both programs are very deep (especially PS), but that just gives you more fun to learn as you go. Don't worry about mastering either, just work within a structured workflow so you can take the steps at your own pace.
    Again, I am not sure what version of PS you are running, but the one book I suggest looking into more than any other is at the link below. It is somewhat dated, but the information is completely relevant and covers the general usage of Photoshop to make anyone comfortable with the tool set.
    http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Unmasked-Science-Selections/dp/0321441206/ ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1307824869&sr=8-1
    The companion website is still up and you can download all the images used in the book if you want to practice on the same images he outlines. Well worth a look if you want to learn Photoshop.

  • Why can't I view an image in CS6 in the Image Size Box?

    Does anyone know what I can do to view an image in the Image Size dialog box in CS6?  Tutorials show how it's an improved feature but, I can't view any images in it.  My version looks exactly like the old CS5 version with no window to view a photo.  Have I changed a setting to disallow this?  Any help would be great.

    It's Photoshop CC (CS7) that has that feature, not CS6.

    As I mentioned, there are MANY different measurements.
    Focus on the pixel count.  That hasn't changed.
    Photoshop's little status window, for example, shows you the MB size that's often used to describe images in pro photographic circles (as in "our service accepts only 20 MB images and larger").
    Additionally, if you're comparing raw file size on the disk, keep in mind most raw files are compressed.
    Just keep working as you have been, and like I said, keep an eye on the pixel counts (H x V).

  • Images sizes are incorrect in CS6

    I was working on some images I had previously worked on in LR2. Cropped them to 11 x 14. Exported as DNG and resized to 11 x 14. Opened PS6 Beta and It showed them as approxiamtely 8 x 10???  Went back into LR2 and reset crop to origianl size (shot ona DNikon D300). Exported as original size and opened PS6. Now the size is approximately 9 x 14????
    I wnat 11 x 14.
    What is going on?
    Thanks
    Lee

    Ok, let me go over step by step what happens.
    1) Open file in LR2. Image shot on D300. Size is orignial size.
    2) Crop image to 11 x 14
    3) Export to folder Export actions set to resize to 11 x 14, DNG format. Should make no change but just in case. at 300 dpi the file size it 10.2 MB now.
    4) Open DNG image in PS6.0 on my iMac. Data below image is Adobe RGB, (1998) 16 bit, 2338 by 2975 (7.0MPP) 300DPI
    5) Click on Open image with no editing done.
    6) Select Iamge Size from toolbar at top. Image size is 2338 pixels by 2975 pixels. Document size is Width =  7.793 inches  Height = 9.917 inches Resolution = 300 Pixels/inch. Canvas size is the same. What happened to 11 x 14?
    7) Now go to the iMac desktop and copy DNG image to flash drive and move to Windows machine with CS5.0 open in PS 5.0.
    8) Now click on Open image with no editing as in PS 6
    9)  Same results.
    When I set crop to 11 x 14 it shows I do a full frame crop, nothing left out.
    So PS shows the iamge size (and canvas) size as 7.793 x 9.917 inches (my close to 8 x 10).
    Why does it not show 11 x 14? Aslo, if the image size is 7.793 by 9.917, why does a crop set to 11x14 outline the image precisely with nothing cropped out?

  • PS CC image size conundrum

    I went straight from PS CS5 to CC and i need help with the new image resize paradigm...
    So let's say I have a 5000x3000 pixel image at 300 ppi and i want to simply change the resolution to 72 ppi and reduce image size proportionaly.  The pixel size should in this case be automaticaly reduced to 1200x720 as in PS CS5
    But that's not what happens in the CC resize dialog.  I change the resolution in the dialog to 72 dpi and the pixel size stays exactly the same (5000x3000).  Why doesn't it automaticaly reduce the dimensions anymore when i change the resolution? Is there something i'm missing? Any help and guidance would be most appreciated.

    You need to change the size from pixels to a linear dimension like inches or centimetres.  Then change from 300 to 72 PPI and it will resize

  • Can't find button to update image size

    I'm looking for the equivalent button in Dreamweaver CC. in CS5 when you clicked on an image, in the property pane you would see the image dimensions and next to it was a curved arrow.  This arrow would update the image size to the real size.  This was very convenient because if I made an image a different size in Photoshop it would not automatically update unless I clicked that curved button. I used that all the time.  I can't find it in Dreamweaver CC.   Is it gone?

    I don't think that's the issue. The button described is gone from CC.
    There are two others that replaced it though. A circle with line through it (we'll call the no smoking sign) and a checkmark.
    If you hit the checkmark, it updates the actual file to whatever dimensions are used in the html. If you hit the no smoking sign, it goes to actual size, unless you hit the checkmark at any point prior to hitting the no smoking sign.
    EDIT: I do find it odd that the checkmark will bring up a dialogue warning you that the original file will be updated, but only gives you the option of "OK". Seems like there should be a "Cancel" in there too, but it's not, just a note to use Undo if you don't want the original resized.

Maybe you are looking for
