Export small size images (for may web galleries thumbnails)

Hi,
when I export versions whith the preset I create (jpg 100 pixels) the lower size file created is 50KB!!!??? also with "0" JPG quality (max compression) and a very small quality (not usefull for me). If I try whith the same images version exported to "Aperture web gallery", the thumbnails are exported in 4-8 Kb size for 100x62 pixels and a good quality!!!
But I have my ASP pages and DB on the web and every week I have to publish 3-4 new galleries and 2-3 slide show. All is presetted, and I only have to export thumbnails and large images and upload them via FTP on my web server.
I bought Aperture in order to be able at the end of my workflow, to export in a folder and directly upload my images and thumbnails without using another application like now! Any experience?
(Master files are Canon .CR2 and export is setted at 72 DPI, 100 x 100 pixel, without adjustement, only file are renamed vith a 3 digit counter.)
I also whould like to know what is the requested knowledge to realize a plug-in with Aperture SDK?
Many thanks.(sorry for my english language)

Hi,
after posted my first question, I have noticed that a very strange things occurs to the aperture exported jpg files. I'm veryy new with MAC and i'm working on both MAC and WIN systems; when I copy from Mac to Win the folder where file were exported from Aperture, I see a double serie of file: the first one is the regular namefile.jpg and a second kind of file named "._namefile" (012.jpg and ._012).
The first can be used and distribute also in win systems, and is very smaller in size than the orginal created by Aperture; the second is always around a size of 50-60 Kb and is not know by win systems. The sum of the two files seem to be the size of the original MAC/Aperture created file!?
So, in win sys, a 150x100 pixel file is about 6-8 Kb (exactly what I'm expecting from it), and on Mac the same file is 60 Kb!!?? A MAC file of 480 x 320 pix at medium quality is about 140 Kb, but it is 80-90 Kb when copied on a win system (the correspondant ._nomefile is always around 50-60 >Kb size.
You know why and how can I obtain optimized files for web from Aperture?
Many thanks.

  • How do I get a close up of an image for my web site

    How do I get a close up of an image for my web site

    You need to resize the image. Note that as you increase its size, it may become pixellated.
    The zoom feature just increase magnification for viewing on the monitor.
    If you are so inclined, post your picture for additional suggestions.

  • I cant up load the correct size image for my cover

    I cant up load the correct size image for my cover...please help

    Hello tiffgill,
    I recommend reviewing the following guidelines for page images for iTunes U:
    When creating your provider art for your iTunes 11 and iOS 6 or later provider page, keep the following in mind:
    Only submit artwork you can legally share.
    Provider art must be JPEG or PNG with appropriate file extensions (.jpg, .png).
    iTunes U Public Site Manager only supports RGB color profiles.
    Artwork must be at least 3200 pixels in width and 600 pixels in height with a minimum resolution of 72 dpi, with a maximum file size of 5MB.
    You can upload a single piece of art that iTunes U Public Site Manager can use across all platforms and devices (see sample below). If you upload a single piece of art you must also:
    Make sure that any text or logo is in the center of the artwork, in the Text/Logo Safe Area.
    The Minimum View is 994 x 600 pixels. Texts or logos should not exceed the Minimum View of 994 pixels and should not exceed 400 pixels in height.
    Ensure that you do not include any text or logos in the Tag Area, as this area is needed for iTunes-related tags. The Tag Area is part of the Minimum View and 200 pixels in height from bottom of the artwork.
    For more information and the iTunes Design Specifications, see https://itunesconnect.apple.com/itc/docs/itunes-design-specs.html.

  • Exporting Clipped images for the Web... CONFUSED! ? Help ..? AI CS3

    Hi folks,
    I don't use Illustrator as much as I'd like, since my workflow is mostly on
    the web, but I'm finding it nearly impossible to export images I receive
    from print designers for web use. Many of these images are EPS or AI.
    They are clipped images, which is great, BUT when I try to Save for the Web,
    the error comes back that they are too large for the web and may crash AI.
    OR if I export to PNG or PSD, the files lose their transparency and I have
    to extract them manually from the white backgrounds, which defeats the whole
    purpose. I have tried opening in Fireworks and Photoshop with the same
    result. I've changed the originals from CMYK to RGB, but it doesn't help.
    Plus the images export with a huge crop area instead of just the image
    itself.
    I'd really like to be able to use AI, but I'm finding this situation
    unworkable. I am sure I'm missing something simple , but I'd appreciate any
    help greatly!
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help Jean et al.
    I only use Illustrator occasionally and when I have to. Not because I don't
    like the idea, but I'm almost completely web oriented and I find its layout
    is not as instinctive and smooth as Fireworks, and I use Photoshop for
    original layered images. The problem comes when I get a file from a printer
    who uses Quark and knows nothing about web prep and exporting for other
    uses. He couldn't export a layered file for some reason even though he had
    the backgrounds layered for print work.
    You are right, I've opened the tiff and eps docs from the printer before and
    played with them in AI, and saved them to ai native formats. I *thought* the
    eps files were created in ai by the printer, because they had the clipping
    paths and artboards. Obviously they were not. They had just opened with the
    default 14400 artboard which is why I thought they had been "set." So when I
    set the new 30x30 custom, I started seeing these files with a new
    artboard...
    So, in sum, I first tried to use these files in Photoshop, but they open
    as flat files and the clipping paths are lost. Only by experimenting with
    ai, did I find the files had clipping paths. I guess what threw me was that
    ai could extract clipping paths from eps that Photoshop could not.

  • Exporting exact size image file

    CS3/4
    Can anyone tell me now to go about setting things up so that if I export my work to an image format like *.psd... I can predetermine the exact size the image will be?
    I've groped around in the help file but this kind of thing is hard to nail down the search strings that will unearth something.  So far I haven't.
    That goes ditto for google too.  Seems like there are too many things matching the needed key words.
    I see 2 things in the export dialog itself which probably has bearing on final size.  Those are the check box of whether to include artboard or not and more important the resolution to save at.
    But still seems no way to know in advance what it will be.
    I have found that if I stay with screen resolution (72) then the final output will be very close to the same size as the artwork itself.  Just with in
    rounding of decimals in fact.
    So is there some nifty formula to get the exact size a 150 or 300 Resloution image will be?

    it sounds like youre perhaps misunderstanding the relationship of size and resolution.  72 is screen or web resolution which is why it "looks" the same.
    if exporting from AI to psd, use the Image>Image Size option in photoshop.
    •  if you are using for web then use the "Save For Web & Devices" feature under "File". You get a lot of options on file type and size.
         Uncheck "Clip to Artboard" if you only want to export the visible images.
         If you are using masks, you may want to use the crop tool to select exactly what you want to export, and then you can set exact sizes in the "Image Size" tab. Dont forget to constrain proportions.
    •  if you want to print a file then the size is "set" at the size you dictate in the "image size" and the resolution affects how good it looks when it prints out.

  • Exporting smaller size JPEGs

    In managing a library of thousands of scans of LP record covers I typically save one very large .psd file. I save a 2nd cropped reduced .jpg for use in FileMaker and iTunes and possible web use.
    Now with Aperture I don't need to save an additional copy of the smaller file. But a resaved JPEG from GraphicConverter at 300x300 is approx. 45k. The same cropped version exported from Aperture is about 245k. I'm wondering if this is because GConverter allows me to save without a resource fork. Or is it all because of the quality of the preview chosen in Preferences?
    Does exporting for email reduce a file size more than a version export?

    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?

  • Optmizing big image for the web

    Dear Friends,
    In the 1st place I apologise if this is not the most apropriate forum to post my question but its web / image related, hence my doubt.
    I have this big image file that I need to publish on the web but even before optimizing the picture I should scale it down by over 60%. Right now 'save for the web' won't even take it...If I use the 'image size' menu to simply resize it (to 900 x 300px) the quality of the image becomes very poor so I wonder, is it better to scale it down first using the 'edit/transform/scale' option?
    Also, if you will be so patient: on a webpage with no other images what would be the approx.maximum size acceptable for it to still load quickly?
    I'm sorry if it sounds like I haven't done my homework - and honestly I've tried - but I can't find conclusive answers and the perfect pictures on the web (like I see often) remain an undisclosed mistery for me.
    Thanks a lot

    Like Zeno said use Bicubic Sharper.
    Also keep in mind that when you make an image smaller you are throwing away data so of coarse it not going to be as detailed as the original. actually I would bet you can open your image in SFW. You are just getting a warning that its a big image. Just open it anyway then you can adjust the size and quality of the image to your liking.

  • Exporting widescreen anamorphic video for the web

    I have a project in fce which is filmed in widescreen anamorphic at 720, 576 the setup in fce is dv-pal anamorphic and anamorphic is checked in item properties. When I export using quicktime using h.264 encoder it shows at as widescreen in the preview but when I open it after export it is squashed. I know that is because it is anamorphic but how can i export for the web and get the correct image? If I was doing full scale I could just change the resolution from 720 to 1024 but what if I want to do lower resoultion is there a better way? Thanks.

    WMA is Windows Media Audio. I think what you meant is WMV (Windows Media Video). To export to that format on a Mac you'll need Flip4ac, available from www.flip4mac.com Once you've installed it, it adds the WMV and WMA export option to QT and other apps such as Sorenson Squeeze.

  • Exporting a masked object for the web

    Hi everyone,
    I've created a pattern tile in Illustrator and need to export it for the web. The problem is that when I do this, the area that is masked out is showing up in the the save for web dialogue box as a blank transparent area.
    Anyone know how to avoid this so that only the pattern tile itself is saved for web?
    Appreciate any help.

    Hi,
    I tried filling a square with a pattern fill then expanding it but this doesn't work because the pattern definition is no longer accurate, ie. I need to use the original pattern object in order for it to tile correctly.
    I also tried the two previous suggestions, ie. defining an artboard the size of the pattern and then exporting and also tried defining a slice. Both of these methods failed because it seems illustrator is adding an extra 2 pixels to the overall pattern which destroys the tiling effect.
    The only way I could get it to work was to copy the pattern tile, paste it into Photoshop and then trim off 2 pixels from all four sides. This seems like an awful lot of work though. I wish there was an easier way.
    By the way I'm using CS4.

  • How do I slice an image for a web banner and upload it to my website?

    Hi there! I am trying to slice an image into a web banner to upload it as the headed to my website layout. I have previously done this before, but a few months ago my computer crashed and I lost everything. I have a new computer now (Macbook Pro running 10.9.3) and downloaded a free trial of CS6. I vaguely remember what I am doing but am apparently way out of practice.
    I have tried at least a dozen different times to slice the banner and add the links, but for one, it keeps showing up with gaps in the image when I try and preview it on my computer. I cannot figure out why. Secondly, when I try to save it for the web as HTML and images, it is not working. It keeps saying something about needing to replace targets, etc. I am honestly lost and when I had originally made my website two years ago I don't remember it being nearly this difficult. I have some moderate HTML/CSS web design skills but I'm not sure if I am having a brainfart or what.
    Secondly, I cannot get the files to upload properly to my web server. I use FatCow as my host if this makes any difference. I've been watching tutorials on Youtube and trying to refresh my memory but I am so lost.
    Thanks!

    Can you save images via Tools > Page Info > Media ?
    The usual way to save an image is via the right-click context menu > Save Image as.<br />

  • Background image for BPF web page

    Hi all,
    I'm building a web page that shows a BPF. I would like to set an image as backgroung for this web page.
    In the BPC help I have read that the image should be located in /webfolders/<appset>AppSetPublications\BPFBackground folder on the server.
    Does anyone know how to upload there the image? The only way I see is using BPC for excel, but it only allows to upload excel files, no images.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ana

    Hi Ana,
    You will have to add a new webpage in BPC Web content library.
    Using the BPF object in the webpage, you can select your BPF and can also add the respective background image to it.
    Hope this helps you.
    Regards,

  • Web link for id plate for flash web galleries

    I've created a number of html galleries, where you have the ability to make your id plate a link- very useful as this can link back to a main page with links to other galleries. This is pretty straightforward for HTML:
    My problem, however, is that the flash galleries do not have this option for some reason! I don't see a way to make the id plate into a link for flash galleries under the web export...
    I don't even mind going back after exporting to my local computer and adding in a link... but I am not proficent with flash, and don't know where to add it.... the index.html that is created as the home page of the web gallery didn't include anything I could edit... I guess flash buries things a bit and its harder to edit it manually....
    Any help in allowing a link to be made from the id plate for flash galleries would be greatly appreciated...
    thanks,
    Erik

    Erik,
    I have the same question/problem. I do need the second link or ability to enlarge one of the posed image. Have you found the answer?

  • Can I make a *smaller* base image for a mobileme gallery?

    So as near as I can tell, I cannot set the maximum size for an image in a mobileme gallery...is there a preset for that? I realize that I can disable downloading, but if I want a base image that is more "facebooky" in resolution, can I specify that?
    I'm looking for something smaller than the default "1024x680" that I seem to be getting. I'm seeing any effect with the image export presets.

    OK, thanks for the copy/paste info, TD. However, when I go
    File>Import to Library>documents>
    The picture/document I want is grayed out, and can't be lifted.
    I also Print>Saved as PDF, but that document is also grayed out. None of the other options after File>Import shows anything that looks like what I want.
    I also highlighted the map on Pages, then "right clicked" (Cont+Click), and then Capture Selection from screen", but I don't know what I have after highlighting. It sounds like I took a picture, and there is a highlighted image of what I "captured" but when I tried to drag to iPhoto, it disappeared.
