Editing photo size

I am trying to import photos into Adobe Premiere Pro and need to resize the photos. How do I resize and save the revised photo in I-photo?

How to edit photo size in Iphoto

Hi Guys,
Im trying to find a way to reduce the size of a photo so I can post it on a message board. I cant find where to do this! I tried "cropping" the photo but I dont want to cut the photo I just want to reduce the size from 2048 x 1536 to 800 x 600 (pixels). Is there a way to reduce by percentages like in Windows??? Thanks for the help Im still new to my Imac...Im going to assume there is a way to do this!!!

You'll have to export the photo out of iPhoto using the File->Export->File Export menu option which will let you select the pixel dimension and the quality/compression level of the new file.
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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Some of my photos in iphoto turn blank (white) when I tried to edit the size like zoon in and out.Can someone help me on this?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?

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.

When I edit photo's in Iphoto on my ipad2, it decreases the resolution. Why does this happen and does this also happen on a macbook air?

I have made pictures on high resolution with a Canon 100D camera, which means the pictures are 5-6 MB.
But when I edit them on my Ipad2 in Iphoto it decreases the size and resolution of the pictures to about 0.5MB
Does anyone know why Iphoto decreases the resolution of my pictures when I edit them?
And does this also happen with Iphoto on a macbook air?
Thank you.
Onno

I have made pictures on high resolution with a Canon 100D camera, which means the pictures are 5-6 MB.
Are the photos raw photos or jpeg? When you edit raw photos in iPhoto on your iPad, the raw image will not be processed, only the embedded jpeg. That will reduce the resolution of the image considerably.
But when I edit them on my Ipad2 in Iphoto it decreases the size and resolution of the pictures to about 0.5MB
How do you save he edited version after editing? That will determine, if the image will be scaled down,
For a full-resolution edit you need to share the edited photo to the Camera Roll,
see this help page: Edit a photo
If you edit a photo in the iPhoto Camera Roll album, the edited photo automatically appears in the Camera Roll on your iOS device, at the resolution of your device. If you want a full-resolution version of the edited photo sent to the Camera Roll, tap and tap Camera Roll. The full-resolution photo appears in the Camera Roll, and is transferred to your computer when you sync the Camera Roll with your computer.
And does this also happen with Iphoto on a macbook air?
iPhoto on a Mac has a lossless workflow. iPhoto will always store the original image file that you imported and compute an edited version from this stored original. The quality of the photo you will see outside iPhoto will depend on the methode you use for sharing. You can export at the original size or scaled down, depending on the purpose you want teh photo for, small for email and web presentation, full versions for printing, for example.

Lines printing in edited photos on 3 HP printers

We have three HP printers - one F4280 all-in-one and one 990cse connected to the same Vista computer and one 990cse connected to an XP. They are all printing horizontal lines in portrait view edited photos and vertical lines in landscape view. The lines are distinct about 1/16th of an inch wide and spaced about 1/16th of an inch apart and down the entire photo. This happens whether I have scanned the photo or gotten it from some other source. It is happening no matter what editing program I use - even if I only crop it using Windows Photo Gallery.
I recently purchased a new photo editing program in hopes of correcting the problem, but I still have the same problem. I start with a fresh photo (one that I have never edited) and, after I edit it, there are never any lines visible on the screen but the printed page has the lines on it - like dark burgandy across a black dress - and light rose across lighter areas, but always distinct even lines. I like to edit photos and have been editing photos for years. I quit for a while and came back to it recently and have been having this problem. I would so much appreciate help.
   Addendum: One thing that worked for me just yesterday - I printed two 5x7 .tif photos on one page from the Windows Photo Gallery, and they didn't have the lines. I used HP premium plus photo paper glossy and set the printout for regular premium paper. When I had set it for premium photo paper, the lines printed. I tried this because when I printed that one on regular premium paper, I didn't get the lines. So, this morning I tried printing the same photo with premium plus photo paper and set for regular premium paper and that printed without lines also !! The picture is better on the photo paper even though the print setting was not for the photo paper. (I had scanned the photo from a full page 8.5x11 copy of the photo.) I am hopeful, but a little skeptical as to whether this will always work. Has another solution been found? Thank you.

This only works for me with Windows Photo Gallery. When I try to print a Word Perfect document with an inserted picture or an Adobe Acrobat document that has a picture, the lines are there. I can create the WP document and save it, then save it as a .pdf document, then save the .pdf document as a .tif photo, then print the .tif photo from the Windows Photo Gallery. These are the step that I used to print:
right click on the photo,
select Preview (and it should open in the Windows Photo Gallery) or select "Open With" and select Windows Photo Gallery,
select Print (and a print menu will show across the top),
from the menu:
select your printer,
select Paper size (I have only tried Letter size for this),
select Quality (mine is working at 300x300 dots per inch),
select Paper type as hp premium paper (not photo paper),
(I deselect the "Fit picture to frame," a personal preference)
insert photo paper in printer and print.
   I had received a copy of my grandmother's picture (only one in existence as far as I know) and I so wanted to get a good printout after editing out some tears and I was able to get a good full page photo print by using this method. Maybe this will help someone else.
   I hope that someone can come up with a solution where pictures can be printed from any program. I would like to know if there is a solution. With three HP printers on hand, I don't want to start replacing printers.

Photo size and uploading to Apple

I'm in the process of making a quite large iPhoto book for my SIL for her b'day. The photos are a compiltion from many of mine, and others sent to me by family members. They are all different sizes, resolution, color and B/W.
After getting them organized, doing a bit of fixing on PS, I now am ready to get them into iPhoto.
Is it wise to take them all into Lightroom where I can do an easy batch change of the resolution? I have read where they should be around 300. It is easy to change them and the test prints I did at home looked ok, even on the small ones that aren't too big to start with. On the export menu of Lightroom, I have the option of stating whether I want them to be exported at JPG, Tiff etc., and I can change the resolution and photo size too.
I probably would export them as JPG, 300 res. and not change their size. Is this ok for the iPhoto books?
Also, if they are of a higher resolution, I assume it will take quite a while to upload them to Apple even with high speed fiberoptic cable internet service.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks, Allie

Allie:
DO NO USE Lightroom as it messes up the metadata and makes the files not useable in iPhoto. You do not have to preprocess the files to set the dpi to 300 specifically. The only important feature of the file is the pixel dimensions. If the pixel dimensions are large enough as you state you can leave them as is. iPhoto will fit them into the frame you choose and the dpi will be determined that way. No matter what size the files are the book is converted into a pdf file for uploading and printing. My last book of nearly 100 pages came in at approx. 25MB.

Problem saving edited photos in iPhoto

HI
When editing in iphoto the changes I have done are not saved correctly. If I select a photo then choose 'edit -> enhance -> done' everything is saved as expected even when losing edit-view BUT if I try to edit in another way for example 'edit-> adjust' and then changes the 'shadows' settings manually and press 'done' the changes are not saved. When selecting the edited photo to to watch it in full-size or even as the icon size (i.e. how every photo appears in each Event before being clicked on) the photo shows up unedited. I have to chose the edit-view to see the changes I have done.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the contents of the User/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder, launch iPhoto and try again. If still no go create a new test library, import a couple of photos and try your editing there.
If the new library works as it should then the problem lies in your original library. If it doesn't work then more tests are indicated.
Log into another user account on your Mac and try the editing there. If it doesn't work there then a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
It the editing works in the other account then the problem lies in your user account. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard/Snow Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
4 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.

5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

My "edited" photos on my iPhone are not edited at all when I copy them to my computer.

I spent hours cropping pictures on my iPhone using it's built in editing feature and I "saved" every single one. Plugged in my iPhone to my Ultrabook to copy them and NONE of them have retained any of the edits I made. ALL the pictures I cropped are back to their original picture size. Why aren't the edits I made on the photos applied to them when I import them to my computer? And why does my iPhone ask me to "save" after I make changes if it doesn't really save them?

The following has an explanation: iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

Quality of edited photos

Hello, I recently edited a lot of photos imported from my DSLR, and notice that the size of the edited photo is smaller and when compared side by side the image quality is lower. As an example, a photo original of 2.5 MB was edited using the auto optimise feature (ie no cropping) and reduced to 877 K. Is there a way to avoid the drop in image quality? Thanks

Interesting point. My situation is where I change the default quality then carry on using the new quality without closing down the program. What you are suggesting is that changing the default quality, closing down the program, then restarting it might get the quality change to stick. I'll give it a whirl and see what happens.

Editing photo results in error

Hi,
I'm using iPhoto 8.1.2 (424) on a Macbook Aluminum first gen.
The last few days I've had trouble editing photos in iPhoto which I cannot fix with a restart or even a reboot.
The problem is every time I edit a photo and click done the photo size goes to 0 kb and I can no longer load the photo. All I see is an exclamation mark ! that basically says there's an error.
I can still see a thumbnail of the photo, but I can no longer view it in full nor edit.
I have tried to revert photos to original and it works on some photos, not on others.
I've not dared open iPhoto the whole of today as I'm afraid of messing up the whole library.
Please help!!

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.

Photo Size

Is there anyway you can change the size of iphoto's photo's.
When i upload them from my camera no matter what size i have the photo size on my camera it always makes them the same size, and they are kinda small and was wondering if anyone knew a way to change the import or export size of a photo once being in iphoto ?

Tyler
When you import a pic into iPhoto it does two things:
1. It copies the file into the iPhoto Library Folder - and stores it in the ORIGINALS folder.
2. Then it makes a thumbnail and stores that in the DATA folder.
You keep looking in the Data folder, so you keep seeing the thumbnails.
However, you should not be looking in the iPhoto Library Folder at all. *It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss*
Do your work in the iPhoto Window. Everything you need to do can be done via the iPhoto Window. There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
So. Forget about the Data folder.

How can i edit photo page?

I´ve tried to figure out a good way to display my photography portfolio using iweb, but I haven´t found a good way to do it.
What I want to try is using the photopage, but with modifications. I would like to remove the numbers indicating how many images there are, and place a selfmade button for next and previous. Is this possible?
Can I edit the text, font and color?
Can I edit the size of the photo?
Thanks!

Yes. You set the photo size in the FAE export, upload the folder that's produced to the server and then use iFrame code in an HTML snippet to add to any page you'd like. I suggest you create a test site that you can use to experiment with, publishing to a folder on your Desktop to see how it works before adding to your site. Once you get it like you want just copy the snippet form the test site to the page in your regular site.
What should I add to what codeplate to get the autoviewer and not the postcardviewer?
You select the theme when you go to export the photos from iPhoto via the File->Export->Flash Album Exporter menu path.

Saving Elements 9 Edited photos to IPhoto 11

I am fairly new to using IPhoto. Elements is old hat to me. When I edit a photo in Elements and save it to IPhoto it seems to get lost. I shoot in RAW, cntrl click and say open in external editor (Elements 9) and do my editing. Then I do a "save as" and change the extension to jpg or psd and save it with the same name or give the file a new name with a jpg extension and save it to the same place indicated in the "save as" dialog box. I cannot locate the saved files in IPhoto in the same album as it came from. Color me frustrated as ****!!

This may be of some help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.
