Does the size of the wallpaper image affect performance?

Random question:
I have a 1 year old Macbook. I found a great image for wallpaper but it is 5mb in size. Will this have any effect on system performance?

Chris,
It shouldn't. Desktop images are cached, and if I am not mistaken, the cached image is rendered at the display's resolution. The original for my current Desktop picture clocks in at 2.7 MBs, yet my Desktop cache file is only 1.7 MBs. This is for a 1920 X 1200 display, so I would assume that almost any higher resolution image I use as a Desktop background will have close to the same size cache file.

  • What does not affect the size of the classfile

    Hi
    does inclusion of extra whitespaces affect the size of the classfile (that gets created after compiling).
    does inclusion of java comments increases the size of the classfile.
    are there any other things that when included, does not affect the size of the classfile.

    Madhu_1980Shouldn't you be worried about getting your program working by using the right constructs rather than constructs which result in a smaller .class file?
    Are you restricted on the sizes of your .class files?

  • What is happening when I change the size of the image in the program sequence window?

    I noticed that I can change the image size of my exported file. I imported a 720 x 480 DV file into CS5.5. I went to my program sequence window and changed the settings to show the smallest image in that window. I then clicked on the image and used the handles that appear to make that small image large enough to nearly fill the screen. When I exported my final file and played the resulting WMV, the image on my screen was nearly twice as large as it would have been if I had not previously altered the image size in the program sequence window. I had to do this alteration for each clip in my timeline, or the unaltered ones would stay at the smaller size. The quality did not seem to be significantly impaired. I learned about this on a youtube video. The person who did the video claimed that this was a simple and quick way to upgrade standard video to HD. Of course this is not true. He was only changing the size of the resulting video. Does anyone know what is really happing when you do this procedure and why it changes the size of the exported  video?

    The size (resolution) of the exported video is not affected by anything you do while editing.  It is dependant solely on the resolution set in the export settings.
    Ideally you want to edit in an sequence that matches your media\, which will be the same size or larger than the required export.  In other words, the same or smaller is OK.  Making things bigger in post is not the best option.  If you need things bigger, shoot them bigger.

  • I need to change the size of the view for easier reading.  Is there a way to make the page view larger without affecting the form?

    Hi Guys, good product beginning however it's not as good as many of the other Adobe product's workspaces.  I cannot change the size of the view during form design work, so it's a visual strain to work in Forms Central.  Is there a way to modify the view (not affecting the width, size or font when presented on website or on paper)?

    In Photoshop CC 2014 (Windows only) it is possible to use a setting of 200% to scale the UI. On some monitors it improves readability and on others it cuts part of the application screen. To give it a try go to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> Experimental Features
    Put a check-mark in the box and click OK
    Then close PS and re-start for the change to take effect.

    picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

    If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
    That should do what you are loking for.

  • Is there anyway to change the size of the font in images in slideshow

    You seem to be able to change the size and style of the font in embedded Image Gallery, but is there a way to change the size of the font, that is displayed in the full screen slideshow mode? Small white font over black bars are very hard to read.

    Yes. Hit the Edit button top right of the EXS24. Should be selfexplanatory after that.

  • How to reduce the size of a jpeg2000 image ?

    Hi all,
    I use Java ImageIO to :
    - create JPEG images from JPEG2000 images
    - create JPEG2000 images from JPEG images
    The transformation JPEG2000 to JPEG works fine. The transformation JPEG to JPEG2000 works too, but the JPEG2000 images that I get have a size too big.
    => For a JPEG image 640x480 with a size 43 Kb, I get a JPEG2000 image with a size 170 Kb
    => For a JPEG image 800x600 with a size 66 Kb, I get a JPEG2000 image with a size 276 Kb
    I tried to change many parameters in the J2KImageWriteParam object :
    final J2KImageWriteParam paramJ2K = new J2KImageWriteParam();
    paramJ2K.setLossless(false);
    paramJ2K.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT);
    paramJ2K.setCompressionType("JPEG2000");
    paramJ2K.setCompressionQuality(0.5F);
    paramJ2K.setEncodingRate(Double.MAX_VALUE);
    paramJ2K.setFilter(J2KImageWriteParam.FILTER_53);
    //      paramJ2K.setWriteCodeStreamOnly(true);
    //      paramJ2K.setComponentTransformation(true);
    //      paramJ2K.setProgressionType("res"); //Resolution-Layer-Component-Position
    //      paramJ2K.setProgressionType("layer"); //Layer-Resolution-Component-Position
    //      paramJ2K.setProgressionType("res-pos"); //Resolution-Position-Component-Layer
    //      paramJ2K.setProgressionType("pos-comp"); //Position-Component-Resolution-Layer
    //      paramJ2K.setProgressionType("comp-pos"); //Component-Position-Resolution-Layer But, whatever the values, I still have the same size.
    Can someone help me please ?
    Thanx

    Hi,
    I found a solution, for those interested :
    I change filter to have this :
    paramJ2K.setFilter(J2KImageWriteParam.FILTER_97);So I get a JPEG2000 with very good quality and a size ~40 Kb.
    Nevertheless, whatever the value I set for compression quality and encoding rate, it has no effect on the quality and the size of the JPEG2000 image, I don't know why...

  • Is there a possibility print settings ( scaling) to affect the size of the document?

    Dear Friends
    my question is this
    is there a possibility the print settings (scaling in the print window) of a document in AI CS4 to affect the size of the document when is saved as PDF file ?
    the reason i am asking is that we have a dispute with a printer
    the project was designed in Illustrator CS4 and it was saved as PDF
    he claims the pdf document we gave him was scaled down ( due to the scaling we used in the print window when we were printing the document for proof reading )
    he says the document when it was saved as pdf it kept those print settings and it scaled down the document size
    i asked around various people and all of them said thats not possible
    i just want an answer from an adobe expert...
    thank you in advance

    aspyro,
    the printing house that produced our leaflet claims that the artwork we gave them was at a wrong size ( slightly smaller than the intented document size) we carefully examined both illustartor files ( where the project was originally designed ) and pdf ( as it was saved as after completion ) and both of them were correct when it comes to document sizethe printing house claims that the settings we had at the print window ( lets say 50% scaling) affected the output size of the document when it was saved as pdf ( and the document size was reduced at the half)
    is this possible?
    In the PDF Print dialog, there is an option, Expand small pages to paper size; it is necessary to tick that if the PDF is A5 and you wish to print as A4 or similar (you can see by switching it on and off), but it is only relevant if there is a page.
    The opposite option, Shrink oversized pages to paper size, may yield a slight reduction, maybe to 99% or so, even if you seem to have the correct page size.
    Did you Save As PDF or Print to PDF?

  • When does a JTabbedPane set the size of the component inside a tab?

    I would like to know how big a component inside a tab is directly after I've added it to a tab in a JTabbedPane.
    I thought once I've "added" a component via the JTabbedPane.add(String, Component) method, the Component would be realized with correct sizes.
    Where or when should I request the information about how big a component has become inside a tab??
    Example:
    1. "Add" a tab via the menu.
    2. Notice that the size of the panel has not changed even though we see it on the screen.

  • File size of corrected jpegs expands to half the size of the original

    Using a Canon 1Dx, I have an option of utilizing both slots and assigning different file types to each.  In one slot I shoot RAW, and on the 2nd slot I shoot a JPG backup.  Typically though I'll do all my work on the RAW file in Lightroom 5.  The unimported JPG shot on the second slot expands to approx. 51MB.  But the CR2 file, imported to Lightroom 5 and then exported as a corrected JPG, only expands to 28MB.  Am I missing something on import/export that would reduce the filesize of the corrected JPG?  I cannot find a setting that is toggled that augments import/export size.  Is this a bits per channel issue?   Similarly, I have the same issue with Bridge.  When converting a CR2 file to JPG it expands to the same 28MB filesize.  My client wants his JPG to expand closer to that 50MB number.

    dean5432 wrote:
    When the JPG file is opened, it shows as 51MB.  When the CR2 file is opened it's 28MB.  I was under the mistaken impression that the files would produce equally sized JPGs, and that somehow in the output from Lightroom it was constraining the size of the finished image.
    When you say "opened" what  'MB' reading are you reffering to? Lightroom can show the image file's Resolution (5184 x 3456), File Size (MB), and Megapixels. What does LR show for these three reading, in particular you should be interested in the image 'Resolution' value.
    When viewed in PS your Canon 1Dx raw image files should show a 'Document Size' of:
    5184 x 3456 x 3 (RGB) x 2 (16 bit data) = 107,495,424 Bytes ÷ 1,048,576 (# of Bytes in MB) = 102,515,625 Bytes = 102.5 MB
    Your full-size Camera JPEG images should be exactly 1/2 since they are 8bit images = 51.3 MB
    I can confirm these numbers with my Canon 600D, which also uses a 5184 x 3456 resolution sensor.
    You may have your camera set to shoot M-Raw (3888 x 2592) or S-Raw (2592 x 1728) with full-size JPEG (5184 x 3456).

  • Can I slim down the size of the Aperture Library by moving the Preview files elsewhere?

    Hi all,
    I have an Aperture library of almost 20,000 photos, dating back to around 2007. Almost all the master images are stored on an external drive (backed up of course), with only my recent and 'in progress' masters being stored in the library itself. Previously I have had my library split up into one library for each year, with the older years libraries being stored on the external drive where the masters are, in order to keep the size of my 'current' library down. So my current library, stored on my internal SSD, contained only photos from this year and last year, and only a few of the masters for these images. Confusing? Sorry!
    Now, I recently decided to consolidate the libraries into one huge library, because it was annoying to have to switch between libraries to find older photos when I wanted them. I did this, leaving all but the recent masters on the external drives (referenced). I thought that the size of the main library would remain reasonably sized, since there were no extra masters being moved into it. However, the library has grown massively - up to over 70GB, which is huge when you consider it's on a 128GB SSD which is also my startup drive.
    I'm pretty certain the reason for the huge size increase is that the Previews for all the older images are stored in the Library file, rather than anywhere else. This makes sense - they are previews, they're supposed to be able to be viewed with the external drives disconnected. So my question is this. Am I able to change the location of the preview files to be on my OTHER internal hard drive (non-SSD, much larger), so that they're still available without the external drives, but are not cluttering up my startup drive. And, if not, what should I do!?
    Thanks a lot

    Glad it worked, but permit, if you will, some observations:
    -- Bloated Previews are a known Aperture bug, which came and went  within a few updates in Aperture 3. Getting them back to the proper size is simply a elegant step to take.
    -- A Preview set to your largest screen size and a quality of 6-8 should be all but indistinguishable from the Master at 72-100 dpi screen image. (Not print resolution.) I REALLY doubt you are going to loose any quality.
    -- While using a symlink to stick the Previews on a HD is clever, it may also defeat the whole purpose of using your SSD. Previews are read a lot and are, I suspect, used for all adjustments at less than full resolution. (N.B. I could be VERY wrong on this.) Thus, depending on the amount of RAM on your Mac, you could end up reading and rereading your Previews over a slower link and doing this a lot. You own use will quickly determine if this is an issue or not.
    I have blathered on, at length, about what I think matters for size and speed here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17959625#17959625. Some of this may be of use.
    I went through a lot of these issues when I tried to fit everything on a 128 GB SSD, so I know some of the issues you are facing. As I noted before, you really only need a Library (minus most Masters) of about 30 GB and that is with large, high quality Previews.
    I actually took the SSD out and stuck it in an ancient MacBookPro (in preparation for a trip to Blighty this summer) and have not noticed a huge drop in Aperture speed. (I do miss the speed of applications launch, restart, however.) One thing that I did find that made a small, but nice difference, was keeping all of the Masters on a separate, dedicated drive. Once defragged, etc. that was very fast. Don't know if you could achieve the same results by partitioning a larger drive, but it might well be fun to find out.

  • HT2523 how can i change the size of the picture i have copied and paste

    how can i change the size of the picture i have copied and paste

    If this question is about TextEdit, I don't think you can do it in TextEdit, after pasting the image.  TextEdit is meant to be a basic text editing program.
    You will have to open the image file in an image editing application.  You can use Preview for doing this, or something more fancy.  If it's Preview, just open the image file.  From the menu bar, under Tools, select Adjust Size.  Make the image the desired size.  Then, select (outline) the portion of the image you want in the Preview document window.  Copy it, and paste it into the TextEdit document window.

  • How Can I Determine the Size of the 'My Documents' Folder for every user on a local machine using VBScript?

    Hello,
    I am at my wits end into this. Either I am doing it the wrong way or it is not possible.
    Let me explain. I need a vb script for the following scenario:
    1. The script is to run on multiple Windows 7 machines (32-Bit & 64-Bit alike).
    2. These are shared workstation i.e. different users login to these machines from time to time.
    3. The objective of this script is to traverse through each User Profile folder and get the size of the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder. This information is to be written to a
    .CSV file located at C:\Temp directory on the machine.
    4. This script would be pushed to all workstations from SCCM. It would be configured to execute with
    System Rights
    I tried the script detailed at:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/03/31/how-can-i-determine-the-size-of-the-my-documents-folder.aspx 
    Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS)
    Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
    strPath = objFolderItem.Path
    Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
    Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size
    The Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size command in the script at the above mentioned link returned the value as
    '0' (zero) for the current logged on user. Although the actual size was like 30 MB or so.
    I then tried the script at:
    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_27869829.html
    This script returns the correct value but only for the current logged-on user.
