Export Photo Size Problems

Hi,
I am having aproblem when I export images. I have changed Aperture> Presets> Image Exports to Jpeg, Image Quality=12, size= original size and DPI=72.  When I export version, which in Aperture shows as image size 1936 x 1288 (2.5mp), it works correctly but if I drag the image from Aperture to my desktop it comes out 968 x 644. Is it possible to change this?
Thank you for any help.

but if I drag the image from Aperture to my desktop it comes out 968 x 644. Is it possible to change this?
When you drag from the Aperture window, you only export your standard previews of your versions - the "Export" presets will not take. To export using your presets, use the command "File > Export > Version" and do not drag from the window. Or change the size of your  previews in the Aperture Preferences panel. Then you can export by dragging with a better quality, Also the screensaver and sharing to the Media Browser will give a better quality.

  • Photo size problem in book

    I am scanning some documents for a scrapbook project in iPhoto. When I try to put that jpg into my book, the photo is way too big. I can only see about 1/3 of the picture in the space provided by the book. I have tried to change the resolution of the scan, but after I crop out all the white space, the photo is giant. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The photo frames in the book are designed for a image that's in the 4:3 size ratio. If you photos are not in that ratio, crop them in iPhoto and they should fill the frame completely. If you don't want to crop you can Control-click on the image in the book and select Fit Photo to Frame Size in the contextual menu. There will be some white space in the frame with that method.
    If you crop, only crop the minimum amount to get the 4:3 ratio.
    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.
    I've written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Export file size problem

    I have a .png image which is currently, and needs to remain on a transparent background.
    The canvas size is 1947 x 926 pixels and its resolution is 300 pixels/inch.
    The math will tell you that the physical size of this image is roughly 6.5 inches x 3.1 inches (which is the final size I need the image to be once it gets inserted into a Microsoft Word document).
    The file size is 1.80 MB.
    Is there a way to reduce the file size, without sacrificing image quality once the final Word document gets printed? 
    What format should I export the image as, keeping in mind that the background must remain transparent?
    The .png image currently has around 50 layers.  Do I gain anything by flattening the layers or something similar?
    Thank you for any advice you can offer.
    Brian

    Go to File > Image Preview, and choose the PNG32 format. This is a good all-around format that supports transparency and non-lossy compression. In the upper-left corner of the preview window, you'll see the output size; it should be a lot less than your current file size. From here, you can click "OK" to save the settings or you can Export.
    For an even smaller file size, you could try PNG8 with Alpha Transparency, but this format allows only 256 colors (like the GIF format), which makes it a good choice only for flat graphics (i.e., text and vector-based artwork), not for bitmaps or gradients.
    As far your original Fireworks PNG file, you could likely reduce its size by flattening layers—particularly bitmaps. But then you'll sacrifice editability. And it won't impact the output size when exporting the file. So I'd probably leave it as is.

  • Problems exporting photos in iPhoto 6

    When I try to export photos from iPhoto to my hard drive, I get an error message that says:
    "Directory Exists: exists as a directory at this destination. Aborting export."
    This directory doesn't exist - I've tried creating several different folders, but to no avail. If I drag the photos directly to my desktop from iPhoto they work fine, but I can't export resized photos this way.
    Has anyone else seen this problem, and if so, is there a fix for it? Thanks in advance!

    LH ,  i quote you, "
    As I said previously if you want a BIG image export as a TIFF and it will be very big - but not any better quality than the 1.2 mb JPEG
    and something is wrong with your observations - if you have a 9 mb JPEG (which is not really likely)" 
    first let me say, i am not blind and i am looking at the info on the image in iPhoto.  second, i know how to read the info.  i have been doing this for a long time.  i have some images that have loaded higher than that from the camera.  i have a full frame camera with 25mb and it takes higher mb images. 
    keith, yes alitle is understandable but that much is not.  i am not changing the size when exporting.  also,  the only problem with exporting original, i might have tweaked or cropped in iPhoto. 

  • Exporting photos at original size

    How do I export photos and keep their original size. I do not have the Image Sizing checked but it seems to be resizing my photos anyway. It seems to have started this evening. I exported files fine at file sizes of ex: 5387 kb the original size. Not they are exporting at ex: 478 kb. Can't figure out what the problem is. I contacted Adobe and Tech Support is not in until Monday. Ugh

    There are a number of different variables for saving a JPG, or a TIFF, which alter both the file size and (in the case of JPG) the specific picture quality which will survive the save.
    Lightroom's JPG quality setting does not correspond exactly with what the JPG choices available (e.g.) inside the camera, were doing. The chances of exporting an identical filesize are remote, for JPG. And smaller is not necessarily worse in practice, since one has to consider the efficiency as well as the degree of information loss, of the differently packaged picture.
    Also, editing changes made in Lightroom can affect the saved file size that you get when you Export.
    If the image has been cropped smaller within LR - whether to a changed aspect ratio, for composition / subject reasons, as a byproduct of perspective adjustment etc, merely straighteniong a horizon, or some combination of those - then there is less picture extent being saved  - quite aside from the saving format.
    Next, the fine detail present in the image affects the efficiency of compression. A "smooth" image area compresses a lot at a given quality setting (small file), while a "busy" image area compresses less at the same quality setting (big file). So changing contrast, sharpening, blurring with negative Clarity, adding a film-grain effect, vignetting, all kinds of changes to the seen picture may make a difference, because you are in effect... saving different picture content.

  • I have a problem with iPhoto on my iMac.  Under the view site, I am unable to get to the photo size function.  It is grayed out

    Under the view designation in iPhoto, the photo pane and photo size options are grayed out.  How can I get them turned back on so I can modify the size of small old photo I have scanned in.

    There is no way to increase the size of a photo image once it's been scanned/taken.  If you want larger images from a scanned image scan it at a higher resolution, dpi.
    Additionally, with the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you mean by "view designation"?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Aperture to export photos either TIFF or JPEG files, highlight and shadow transition has obvious faults, this problem solved!?

    Aperture to export photos either TIFF or JPEG files, highlight and shadow transition has obvious faults, this problem solved!?

    What problem?
    You will have to be _a lot_ more specific if you'd like responsible feedback.
    I export thousands of TIFF and JPG files a week with no obvious faults.

  • How do I export photos in the act size desired?

    I'm just starting to use iPhoto 08. I tried to export a photo and instead of being able to make the photo the exact size that I want ( a feature that the previous version of iPhoto had), I was given only the following choices: Low, Medium, High, Maximum. Being limited to those four choices is not an improvement! Am I missing something? Is it still possible to make an exported photo the exact size desired by using a different command??
    Please advise, and thank you.

    Diana
    In the File -> Export dilogue:
    Kind: Jpeg (or anything except Original or Current)
    Then the Size drop down becomes available. Choose between Small, Medium, Large, Full Size or CUSTOM allows you most control.
    The Low -> High parameter refers to the level of compression on the file.

  • Problems with exporting photos.

    Im unable to export pictures from iPhoto to external disc I have been using before with normal pc. The info says that my macbook is unable to create volumes when exporting from Iphoto.

    If the external drive is formatted NTFS (the current standard for Windows PC discs), the Mac can't write to it unless you install a third-party driver (NTFS-3G or Tuxera NTFS) to enable that. If the external drive were in FAT32 format, both computers would be able to write to it with no additional software needed.
    If you are able to export photos to your Mac's desktop or other locations on your internal drive but not to the external drive, I strongly suspect the drive's format is the problem.

  • When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data.  I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail.  This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

    When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels.  The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size.  Anyone know why or how to correct this?

    Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview.  Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
    Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
    Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.

  • HT1152 When exporting photos to file they are being downsized even though i export as origonal jpeg size

    When exporting photo files to new folder my computer downsizes them even though I export as origonal jpeg size

    Could you please give an example with specifics.
    Right click the original and select Get Info. Size is the second line under General.
    Do the same for the file after it is moved to the folder.

  • 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.

  • Exporting photo slideshow in mp4 hd format.

    hi,
    I want to export photo slideshow in hd. I had exported into quicktime h.264 hd but it doesnt support to my Samsung Led tv.
    When i exported to mp4 h.264 photo quality gets ruined, everthing looks pixel.
    I am using following setting:
    h.264
    full hd screen size 1920x1080 16:9
    bitrate: 256kb/s
    frame rate auto
    i think problem is with bitrate....please tell me which bitrate to use for smooth video.

    iPhoto 11 consists of several versions.  What exact version do you have.  Use the iPhoto ➙ About iPhoto menu option to get the exact version.
    With iPhoto 9.5.1 the size ratio of the slideshow should be set to what you want in the slideshow Settings pane:
    Then click on the Export button at the bottom and select the HD size you want to have:
    With iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier the following options are available:
    The bit rate is at 7 Mbps.
    iPhot0 9.5.1 doesn't specify the bit rate.  However, I exoprted one to the desktop, opened the slideshow with Quicktime Player and checked the Info window for the bit rate and got this:

  • Exporting full size Jpegs from DNG converted files

    Hi there
    I imported some RAW files into Lightroom 4, which I then copied/converted to DNG, then edited them. I now want to export them as full size, high-quality jpegs but I only seem to be able to export them at a maximum of about 800kb, which is far lower than full-size. Is this to do with first the conversion to DNG from RAW on the import? Am I best copying them from raw and not converting them to DNG at all? Next question is, will I have to import the original RAWs again and re-edit them to be able to export as full-size high quality jpegs or is there some way to not have to do them again? Many thanks, Sophie

    The curious thing is that when I try to export full size jpegs through the email function,
    Do you mean exporting through the e-mail the EXACT SAME photos that you were discussing above?
    Have you done any cropping of the photos? What is the size, in pixels, of one of these photos according to Lightroom? What is the size, in pixels, of the corresponding exported photo, according to your operating system?
    Can you show us screen captures of the export dialog box?
    At this time, I am not going to deal with the print at A4 size being pixelated, as printing introduces a lot of other places where something can go wrong. To see if the problem is in the export, I want to know if you look at the exported photo outside of Lightroom, does it appear pixelated or not?
