Do I need to resize pics?

I'm about to upload a ton of pics to my website. I'm simply going to drag them from iPhoto to iWeb.
I got a new Cannon xti and took almost 1,000 pics on vacation. I'm probably going to put about 300 of those on the website eventually.
Each pic is about 2-4 megs in size each. I used the process multiple files in Elements 4.0 to cut them by approx 1/2 size to about 1-2 megs each.
Do I need to make a separate folder and then further resize and use more jpeg compression to make them reasonable for a website experience,
-or-
does iWeb automatically compress/resize them so that they are optimized for the web?
Tips on managing photos would be appreciated.

Kraftsims:
When adding photos to an iWeb photo page, they are resized to 800 x 600 pixels for the slideshow. You don't have to do any pre-resizing, iWeb does it all automatically.
If you add a photo to a non-photo page in iWeb, it's best to resize it to the exact size you want it to be displayed before hand. You can use Resize! to do that for you. Just select the pixel dimensions and 72 dpi for the resolution. When you add the photo to a page it might get resized by iWeb and have a border around it. If you want to keep the image as a jpg and not have it converted to a png file, go to the Inspector/Graphics pane and under the Stroke menu select none and turn off the shadow. Then in the Metrics pane of the Inspector click on the Original Size button.
If you add a border and shadow or resize the photo in iWeb it will be converted to a png file for uploading and display. Some PCs with older broswers may have trouble with that type of file. To check out how PCs might see the site go to http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ and past your site's url into the space provided. It will then show you how it may be seen by the PC with different browsers.

  • Possible to resize pic according to own width and height ratio?

    Hi there
    Usually when resizing (or exporting) a picture, iPhoto automatically chooses an appropriate combination of width and height for us. For example, if I wanted to reduce the width to 320 pixels, iPhoto automatically updates the height to 240, making the resized pic to be 320x240.
    However, I need to resize a picture to become 300x300. How can I do that? When I type in 300 for width, iPhoto keeps automatically putting the height as 225, making the picture 300x225, but I need 300x300. Is there a way to manually choose how I want to resize the pic?
    Thanks in advance.

    teriyip:
    What you need to do before exporting is to crop to the size ratio, in this case square. Then you can put in 300 in one dimension field and the other will come in at 300 also. There's a square option in the Constrain menu.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

  • Do I need to resize the sparsebundle file after migrating to new larger AirPort Time Capsule?

    Just upgraded my Airport Time Capsule from an old 1TB to a new 2TB version.
    I have migrated the sparse.bundle file by using the ethernet method but now I want to know if I need to resize the file using Disk Utility or does it happen automatically? If it doesn't resize automatically then Apple should at least have some option to automate this process as it seems a natural request.
    Over time people would want to continue using their same old back up and just allow the file to get bigger as it is moved onto a newer larger device and still have access to all the previous old backups all on one device/system.

    It should continue to resize automatically or would if Yosemite worked properly.. since TM in Yosemite is lousy it might well need you to fix it.. It isn't hard.

  • Can i resize pic in iphoto

    Hi, is it possible to resize pics in iphoto? At the moment I use the email facility to do it.

    What do you want to resize?
    File -> Export:
    The Jpg Quality setting will impact the file size - expressed on kb or MB
    The Size setting allows you to specify a target size in pixels for the Photo.

  • Do I need to resize images for Keynote?

    Do I need to resize images for Keynote? I have images in a variety of sizes and wonder if there is a minumum or maximum size recommended.
    Thank you!
    B

    All depends on what the end product is; a slide show on a laptop or projected  20 feet wide in a theatre. For best performance, images should be created to match the document size in;  Inspector > Document > Slide size.
    The slide size should as a minimum match the screen resolution of the  Mac in;
    system preferences > displays. The higher the number of  pixels the better the quality.
    However, many images are supplied that are much smaller than are required, resulting in them being enlaged beyond there best.

  • PSE7 ~ I'm inserting a .jpg image into a project, need to resize smaller and it ends up blurry!

    Please help!
    I am creating a birthday invitation for my daughter using PSE7.  I found a few .jpeg images on the web that I want to use.  The images should be okay size-wise (a 66kb image) when I try to insert this image onto the invitation (size of the invite is 5x7) - image takes up maybe 1/6th of overall invitation.  When I insert this image into the project, it is HUGE.  I need to resize it to reduce, but when I do for some reason it becomes very blurry.  I can't figure this out!  At the very least a 66kb image should be able to be inserted onto this 5x7 invitation as a 1" square and be crisp at that size??  Ugghh!
    I hope I am being clear in my request...the image in question is pictured below.  When this image is inserted into my PSE project, it would be about 2" high on a 5"x7" invitation...
    Also, when I save the whole invitation as a jpg for printing, it's only 120kb file size...shouldn't it be much larger?  Am I missing a global setting somewhere that's messing everything up??  Many thanks in advance to anybody offering suggestions...

    You're thinking in the wrong terms. You need to be focusing more on ppi (pixels per inch) rather than the file size in KB. Start by  making sure your main image is at 300 ppi (you may have to start over from scratch). If the graphics are now way too small when you bring them in, remove them and try a lower resolution, but you don't want to go below about 220 usually (it depends on your printer how low you can go and get away with it).
    Go to Image>Resize>Image size to check your invite's ppi, but my guess is that you started at something like 72 ppi. If you did, I'd start over, unless you have enough pixels that when you change the ppi to 300 (with Resample Image turned OFF) it's still large enough.

  • Need to resize images for a website, how do I do this????

    I am running Aperture 2, and I am getting my photo's ready to be posted on my website. Problem is I can't seem to figure out how to resize the image and create thumbnails. I have gone through everything and I am running out of time. Is there anyone who can help?
    Thank you.

    You don't need to resize any images. What you need to do is export them. I don't know what site you're using, or how you're going to get them up there, but define an export preset that bounds the images to the size you want.

    You would resize the image when you export it. The settings would be under File->Export Version.

  • How can i resize pics for wallpaper?

    can i resize pics to fit as wallpaper without it stretching?

    Maybe there is a better way, but I can offer you my
    Screen resolution for iPhone 4 is 640×960 and for the iPhone 5 is 640×1136
    You should make a picture 640 pixels wide and of reasonable height, minding the lowest row of icons. Very high picture will be distorted.
    The wallpaper can be prepared using any picture (camera, Google, etc) by resizing in your computer or with the help of special app (I use the free "SimpleResize").
    If you use the computer, then send the ready picture to yourself by email, then save it to the Camera Roll.
    Use Settings>Wallpaper & Brightness>Choose Wallpaper>Photos>Camera Roll
    Good Luck

  • WinXP: Resize pic for digital photo frame with PS Elements

    PS Elements 5
    Preloading a small memory card for a photo frame to be given for holiday gift. Not familiar with these frames.
    This Digital Photo Frame is a 16x9 aspect, 800x480 pixels.
    In PS Elements, I crop each pic to 16" x 9"
    Then resize photo to 800 pixel width, constraining proportions it sets the height at 450 pixels, resolution 72 pixels/in. Seems I am wasting the frame real estate.
    Change the crop tool for 15" x 9"
    Then resize photo to 800 pixel width, constraining proportions it sets the height at 480 pixels, resolution 72 pixels/in.
    Each photo comes to ~ 400k.
    Questions:
    Which above crop/resize/resolution is best? or alternate?
    Will the frame make use of the 400k pics, or should I reduce quality to something less?

    <[email protected]> wrote in message <br />news:[email protected]..<br />>I would enter 800 px by 480 px in the crop tool, lets you crop and resize <br />>in one step.

  • Need to delete pics/be sure the copies are ok.  what am i doing wrong pls..

    ok
    my pc is filled with pics now.. i need to delete them off the computer..
    i have transfered the whole Picture directory to Verbatim external hard drive..
    i used an 8 megapixel camera.. most pics in the Verbatim are about 40kb
    before deleting the pics off the main comp i wanted to be sure the quality is the same on the transferred files to the ones i have on the main comp.
    I brought back one file from verbatim into iphoto.. and it was showing in there as a small photo... any zooming at all causing pixelation... ie nothing like the high quality original i already have on the iphoto..
    can anyone tell me whats going on pls? i really must delete the photos but want to be sure i have made good copies first..
    please feel free to expose how thick i am!
    thx
    mark

    Why don't you just run iPhoto with the library on the external drive - quit iPhoto, drag the iPhoto library as a single entity to the external drive and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key - use the select library command to direct iPhoto to use the external drive
    After you have done this and checked your library you can trash the one on yoru internal drive (I suggest testing iPhoto one more time before emptying the trash just to be sure)

  • Need help - my pics in photo stream on iphone do not all dowload to photo stream folder on my pc

    have photo stream pics on my iphone, when my iphone is connect to my PC, some of the photos do not download onto my photo stream folder on my PC - need help with this

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        •    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
        •    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
        •    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.
