Double size of photo when rotating

I have noticed that when I rotate a photo it doubles in size. I understand this is to keep the original file but it causes me big problems when I try to upload photos to the Internet because it takes twice as long. Is there a way I can get iPhoto to automatically delete the original for me when I rotate or does anyone know if there is some other way around this?

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
I have noticed that when I rotate a photo it doubles in size.
rotating does not increase the size of a photo - check in the information window before you rotate the photo and after you rotate it- the rotated version will be pretty much the same as it was before rotation
Is there a way I can get iPhoto to automatically delete the original for me when I rotate
No - one basic design feature of iPhoto is always retaining the original and always giving you the ability to revert to it
The correct way to have smaller photos for uploading is to export the photos to a desktop folder and set the size of the exported JPEGs during the export process. This also is very important to protect your iPhoto library from damage - you should never be doing things inside your iPhoto library from the finder or with programs other than iPhoto (and iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto library manager)

My iPad2 does not reduce the size of photos when I email them

My iPad2 does not reduce the size of photos when I email them - however my iPhone does, can I make my iPad reduce the size as well?

Hi Frank: After you have selected the photo for the email and started to compose the email, check on the right side of the window. There it will show the image file size, tap there and it will give you options for the photo size. Hope this helps.

Selecting size of photo when printing on HP Office Jet 6500A from an Ipad

Hi, I have just setup my Printer and tried to print a photo from an Ipad, the prints are only coming out in A4 full page size. I have searched the User Guide and cannot find any reference as to how I can print them out in any sizes, I would like to print in Postcard size. Can someone assist please. Many thanks.

Hello KenA! Here's a link to an HP printing article on printing from an Apple iPAD:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02784317&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang...
Take note:
With AirPrint, you do not have the option to select different paper sizes. Paper and media sizes are automatically selected depending on the application you are using on your Apple device, your HP ePrint product, and the region in which you are using AirPrint.
For example, from Apple’s Photo application, if the HP ePrint product has a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint will use 4x6 inch photo media as the default paper size. If the product does not have a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint will use letter-size paper. If you are printing from Apple’s Safari browser, letter-size paper will be the default paper size in the US region, and A4 will be the default paper size in Europe.
If you are using the HP Eprint center:
All photos e-mailed with HP ePrint will print at a default size of 4 x 6 inches (101.6 x 152.4 mm).
If your HP ePrint-enabled printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, just make sure that photo paper is the only paper loaded in the tray when printing photos.

Photo appears "squished" when rotated in Organizer

I have an Olympus Styles camera, and am using the Macro mode in this camera. The original picture is landscape. When I open it in the Photoshop Elements 3.0 Organizer and rotate the photo so that it is portrait, the photo appears to be "squished" -- that is, it was a wide rectangle before rotating; after rotating it is a symetrical square and the photo is squished and distorted to fit into the square.
Viewing the squished photo on the monitor is disconcerting -- does anyone know how to fix this?
It only affects viewing on the monitor because the photo prints correctly and in the Image Size dialog box, the size and proportions are correct. I have a Toshiba Satelite computer; surprisingly, it didn't squish or distort when rotated on an HP computer that I tried it on.

It rather sounds like the display resolution on the monitor is wrong for the monitor's actual aspect ratio. Check out the real aspect ratio of the display ( e.g. 4:3 for a standard CRT ) , and make sure the display resolution matches that ( e.g. 1024x768 , 1280x1024, etc ) .
Most video drivers can be set for resolutions that are inappropriate for the actual geometry of your screen, and this sounds like the case.

HT201401 how do i set my phone to auto rotate my photos when i turn my phone around?

how do i set my phone to auto rotate my photos when i turn my phone around?

Try unlocking the auto-rotation. Go to your multitasking bar (double tap Home button), then swipe from left to right. There should be a symbol there that looks like a circular arrow with a lock in there. See if it's 'locked'.

Can I edit the size of my photo when setting up an email signature?

Not sure what you mean by "photo screen?" Do you mean your Photo Stream?
In the Photos app there are several ways to view the photos. Tap on Albums. Your Photo Stream is one Album but there may be others including the Camera Roll, albums made on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll, and albums of photos copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer.
To remove albums from the Camera Roll, tap on the Camera Roll album to see the small thumbnails of the photos there. Tap on Select, tap on the photos to delete, then tap on the trashcan. The photos will then be moved to another album called Recently Deleted. They remain there for 30 days to allow you time to reconsider whether you really want to delete them or not. After 30 days they will automatically be deleted from your iPhone. But if you are sure you want the photos deleted from your iPhone delete them again from the Recently Deleted album.
Albums created on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll can be deleted in the same way.
To delete albums copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer running iTunes are deleted by doing another sync. But before you click on Sync deselect the albums in iTunes. Then when you click on Apply or Sync the albums will be removed from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer.

Hello. How do I keep the actual size of a photo when adding to a Keepsake? Used to do this but have forgotten how!

Here is my suggestion:
Open a blank, new file (File>new>blank file) size 8.5x11"
Open the collage
Go to Select>all
Go to Edit>copy
Go back to the blank file created in step #1
Go to Edit>paste. The collage will be on its own layer
Access the move tool, and with the corner handles resize the collage. Using the corner handles should preserve the aspect ratio. If you open the rulers, you will have a point of reference as you go along.
Print a draft copy to see if it will be suitable in the frame..
Please report back with your progress.

TS3195 I can upload photos and smaller size videos but when a video is 24 minutes long for instance, it doesn't upload at all from my iPhone to the PC. How do I upload these videos that are longer in length?

Are you using any software to import videos? Did you tried Picasa or you just open your iPhone from My Computer?

IPhoto duplicates (doubles) all photos when importing

Hi
iMac 27 2009/10
OSX 10.8.5
iPhoto 11 9.4.3
When importing from an iPhone (and i think a digital camera) iPhoto imports say 10 photos but it puts 20 into iPhoto - i.e. it duplicates every photo it imports
It never used to do this and i can't see anywhere in preferences where there is a setting to import photos and double them up ?
When we import some 100 photos and we get 200 into iPhoto its a real pain to have to go through them and delete the duplicates

If you're shooting HDR photos with your iPhone and don't want double imports turn off the Keep Normal Photo under Settings ➙ Photos & Camera on your iPhone:
Frankly, I'd keep the normal photo. It might be far better than the HDR version, if the camera was not perfectly stabilised or the target moved. Usually it requires the large screen on the Mac to be able to compare the normal photo to the HDR version, to be able to see, if the HDR version is passable.

Iphoto is quitting unexpectedly when I double click a photo

iphoto is quitting unexpectedly when I double click a photo within iPhoto to enlarge it or scroll all the way to the top to the most recent pictures. Any ideas? I have the most recent version and all updates are done. HELP!

Now we try repair the original Library. Switch back to it:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Then assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When i double click a photo in iphoto to edit, the screen goes black

when i double click a photo in iphoto to edit, the screen goes black. I'm using 10.7.5 with iPhoto 9.4.2. Can anyone help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Photos auto rotate?

I've noticed that large photos (k-size wise) seem to rotate to their original ratio when I click to enlarge. Here is what happens;
-the photos natural position is sideways (because that's the way the camera was when the photo was taken)
-I rotate the view from in the library view, and it looks good
-I double click on that same photo to enlarge and it returns to the sideways view (and stays there when I return to the library view).
It's worth noting that this only happens on the photos my father-in-law took with his super-nice camera. Is it the size of the photos that make them return to their original view ratio?
Thanks!

Here's the rebuild info incase you want to try it...
Try this:
Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

Photos copies photos when importing even when told not to copy photos when importing?

The new Photos app is pretty cool.
The one thing I didn't like about iPhotos is still present here: Rather than handling my photos in the Finder it creates a weird database full of all the photos -- and the only way to get to them is via this one app. I guess maybe we'll have a solution for that in the future.
But I have stumbled across something that may be a deal breaker for me: Even when set to not COPY imported photos, it turns out the Photos copies imported photos.
In preferences: GENERAL -> IMPORTING you can choose whether to Copy Items To The Photo Library.
Well, I don't want to do that. I have 8G of photos on my drive, and relatively little space, and the last thing I need to do is use double the space! So I chose not to copy items when importing.
I come back a couple hours later. And guess what? My Photos app/library is 8G in size! Photos has copied all my photos when importing. So now I have two copies of all my photos on my hard drive, and I am running out of space.
Is there a way to make that setting, to not copy photos when importing, work?

Hi,
Thanks for the idea. Here is what I found:
The "Masters" folder is very small. 300MB.
The "Previews" folder is a similar size.
"Thumbnails" are under 1G.
It's the "Resources" folder that is many gigs in size.
Very interesting. So in a sense, it could be even worse!
That is, apparently the setting prevented the "Masters" folder from getting 8 gig of photos copied into it.
But even so, "Resources" ended up with 6.5G in it -- even though no files were copied!
Wild.
Other photo management apps (e.g., Lightroom) have sort of a 10% overhead, not a 90% overhead -- i.e., close to the same size as the actual photos themselves.
I should probably start a fresh question, now that you have solved half the mystery: Yes, the actual photos were not imported into Masters, but Resources gets really big!

Double-Click on photo = Black Screen

I have some high quality (for me) photos that came from a professional wedding photographer. They are about 4mb a piece. In iPhoto 08 I had no problem with them. I could move them around, print, do whatever I needed.
With iPhoto 09... when I double-click on them to bring them up to the larger size so that I can see greater detail and edit them... the picture goes to black.
Any clue as to what is going on?? My wife is going to kill me if she can't get to her wedding pictures easily!

Hi Guys,
I have read with interest all your posts on this issue but unfortunately, for all your suggestions my problem is not resolved. I have done the following:
1. Rebuilt the iPhoto Library (both the small thumbnails, all thumbnails and file permissions)
2. Examined the version of 'AppleAppSupport.framework' which is at 1.5 in my machine
3. Downloaded and reinstalled 'Mac OS X 10.5.6 Combo Update'
4. Examined the Console log to determine if any error messages appear when I double-click a photo (there are none)
5. Examined the color-profile and other properties of some photos which exhibit the problem (they are the same as the other photos in the event taken with the same camera)
6. I even tried editing the photo (which is the only time I can see it) and saving it but with no change
I hope that someone here can shed some light on this most strange issue which only started after upgrade to iLife '09.
Regards,
Michael
