Full Resolution vs Optimized - Single Photos

I understand how to change from optimized vs full resolution pictures with the new iCloud options in 8.1. Let's say I want just a few pictures to be full resolution so I can share/send them to someone? I can just select some and download in full? Looking to do this on my iPhone or iPad.
Thanks!

As far as I know, it's all or nothing; you can't choose to just keep selected photos in full resolution on your device.  You would have to download the photos you want to share from your iCloud photo library on icloud.com to your computer, then email them in order to share them in full resolution.  (Note: sharing photos using an iCloud shared photo album (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99) are not full resolution originals.  Photos added to a shared album are "optimized" rather than full resolution.)

  • There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.

    Absolutely INFURIATING.
    I have spent absolute hours building a photo album for the first year or my sons life. Sorting through quite literally thousands and thousands of images. Got a brilliant looking album using 177 of them.
    Now everytime I try to check out it won't get past page 1 of building the book.
    It says the following "There is a problem with the photo with the filename "null". The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.".
    The images all look perfect. I have even tried taking them out and re adding the first page images from the library.
    Same problem.
    This is so annoying. So far I have NOT been happy with this iphoto application having nothing but problems with missing thumbnails. Corrupted images. Things that have never happened to me using a windows machine.

    Do the filenames contain special characters, like "ä,ü,..." or white space or are the vry long? Is there anything special about the image format? Try to export the edited versions in that case and reimport it with a different, shorter filename.
    For testing, create a new book with only the images you want to check.
    If this does not fix it, try rebuilding. Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library.

  • ICloud and Photos app are not showing full resolution photos

    Since migrating my iPhoto library to Photos, it has had problems showing the full resolution of photos. I initially had "Optimize Mac Storage" selected, but even when I had space available, it would not download the full resolution version of a photo. The loading circle in the bottom right corner would spin until it would be 'fully loaded' but the photo would not become the full resolution photo. I then checked "Download Originals to This Mac", but after it said it had downloaded the full sized versions of everything, the same problem occurred. I then went to iCloud and the iCloud Photos app and saw that some of my photos were displayed at about 1/3 the size on the screen. This wasn't just zoomed out. When I zoomed in closer the image did not resolve any better.
    HOWEVER, downloading the photo from iCloud and opening it in preview gave the full resolution photo. I have attached an image showing the different levels of resolution from os x Photos app, iCloud, and the downloaded image (shown in Preview). I used the zoom slider on Photos until it reached 100%, I set the view in Preview to "Actual Size", but in iCloud to get the same dimension image, I had to zoom to 200%+.
    Another thing that I noticed was that this doesn't happen to all of my photos:
    It definitely happens to all of my photos taken with a Fujifilm X-M1, where I shoot in RAW, adjust and process in Lightroom, then export JPEGs to iPhoto. These tend to be slightly smaller (largest side 2048 pixels).
    It doesn't happen to photos taken with 645Pro app (where I still export JPEGs to iPhoto with largest side 2048 pixels).
    It happens to some, but not all, photos taken with the iPhone's native camera app
    I am very confused. Also, even after having checked "Download Originals to this Mac" and letting it download everything, the Photo Library is only 3.77 GB. In iCloud it is ~10GB and my old iPhoto library was about ~15GB.

    I now discovered that I can't edit photos in the Photos app (presumably because Photos is not communicating well with iCloud and can't download the full resolution photo to edit).

  • Pixel resolution reduction in iPad Photo

    My camera takes 10.2 megapixel HD images. I discovered that photos imported via a SD card reader into the iPad have the same picture dimensions (3648x2064) as with an iPhoto import but on the iPad there is only 44% the resolution of the same file imported into iPhoto. In iPhoto the photo is 3.6 MG and on the iPad the same photo is only 1.6 MG. A loss of 2MG of pixel! That effectively reduces the picture to 4.5 megapixel resolution.
    Guess there is a reason for it, but it does make the iPad only useful as a way to quick view photo work, but the full resolution pictures would still have to be loaded into iPhoto, NOT synced from iPad. (or have I missed something in some kind of prefs?)

    Chris CA wrote:
    Just to wrap this up, please confirm that there is no reduction in quality, resolution, etc. in the absence of editing.
    correct.
    When pix are added to the iPad using a camera connection kit, the photo is imported as it is on the camera (full resolution).
    The iPad Photo app will also create a new version, which is 2304 x 1536. This is for display on the iPad.
    When syncing the photos back to the computer, only the original, untouched photo will get copied to the computer.
    When syncing photos to the iPad thru iTunes, the photos get reduced/optimized to 2304 x 1536, if they are larger than this.
    Good. Thanks. I was concerned that I may have misled the OP.

  • Any chance that we can select full resolution for photostream on ipad?

    i would really like to use the New iPad as a primary photo editing solution. i have Snapseed and various other editing apps on the iPad but i just discovered that the Photo Stream copies of the photos on the iPad are down-sampled (which seems odd given the new retina display, etc.. of the new iPad). i'm sure this is done for space/connectivity reasons but it sure would be nice to have a full resolution option in the Photo Stream setup options. any chance that Apple is considering changing this? are others seeing the same issue?

  • Bug with MP3 tags & full-resolution photo storage...

    My birthday was last week and I got a new iPod classic 120 gb......
    I am a music (67 gb) and photo buff (22 gb)......and I am having trouble with each. I am using the XP box to do the syncing, since my wife's iBook doesn't have enough storage space to hold all of our photos and MP3s.
    1) Music...... for xmas and my birthday I got 7 new CDs.... I ripped all 7 into iTunes prior to syncing my iPod for the first time and all 7 work perfectly on my family's 3 computers (laptop running OS X 10.4.11, laptop running Ubuntu, and an old Windows XP box that I use as a file server). Yet they all don't show up correctly on the iPod.....
    a) +Slumdog Millionaire+ soundtrack shows up in iTunes with each artist for each track listed correctly....yet on the iPod all songs are under "Various Artists"
    b) +The Best of Clifford Brown+ & +The Juno sountrack+ don't show up at all on the iPod even though they register correctly in iTunes
    c) Charles Mingus' +Mingus Ah Um+ & The Soundtrack for the movie Once.......shows up under album view on the iPod with "Charles Mingus" listed as the artist, but does not show up under Artist view.
    d) The other two CDs work normally.
    I ripped all of these CDs at the same time. They all work perfectly in iTunes and in Amarok on my laptop running linux. Why won't they show up correctly on my iPod? It is only these new CDs, the rest of of my giant library synced perfectly. I deleted the files and restored the iPod and the MP3s on the desktop from my back-up but that did nothing.
    What is causing this? Should I re-rip the original CDs?
    2) Photos.....I think this is just an Apple thing....but I thought I'd ask....I take LOTS of pics.....my pictures all synced up perfectly with my iPod. I selected the option to upload the full resolution photos as an added redundant back-up since i have the extra space on the iPod......but iTunes didn't take my existing file structure (each folder is an album)...it dumped my 20,000 plus photos into a single folder for March 15th (The day of the original sync) in the iPhoto style file system. The tags are all intact with the correct date, but iTunes didn't read them.
    I know this is a personal preference thing.....but I stopped using iPhoto exclusively because it made backing up my photos too cumbersome between different operating systems. I've always found it ironic that it is easier to illegally share copyrighted MP3s out of iTunes then to share non-copyrighted family pics out of iPhoto. It seems my iPod is forcing me back into the iPhoto file system. Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to just copy my existing file structure so that I can navigate through album folders rather then the giant mass of photos.

    Shawn, the issue with the music is likely due to the fact that the CDs in question are compilations (or at least marked as compilations in iTunes).
    When an album is labeled as a compilation, the iPod will not list its contents under the artist, instead, you need to enable compilations on the iPod and look there. It will also place the album art for these tracks at the end of Coverflow.
    You can undesignate tracks as compilations by right clicking the tracks, choosing "Get Info" and go to:
    Options tab (if you are highlighting multiple tracks)
    Info tab (if you are highlighting single tracks)
    I can't help with your photo issue (I only have music on my iPod), though you are probably correct that this is just the way Apple has chosen to file the photos.

  • Is there a way to have full resolution photos available from a website

    Upload speeds are a major issue as they are generally much
    much slower
    than download speeds.
    I don't know of any other way to do it faster to be honest.
    Jpg, as already mentioned, is the most time effective
    solutuion when
    transfering huge image files via the net. If you know the
    final output
    size the image is going to be used at you can cut down on
    excess
    megabytes by making it that size before upload BUT you don't
    always know
    at what output size its going to be used.

  • HT204570 I have a ~22k pic iCloud photo library. I want to have a folder of ~1.2k pics available on my iPad in full resolution while offline, all the time. Can this be done?

    Hi - I have had iCloud photos turned on for about 2 weeks.  My old iPhoto library of around 22k pics uploaded no problem.  My issues are with now viewing them on my iPhone and iPad, which are set to optimise storage.
    On the iPad I used to have a folder of about 1200 pics which I'd use as a photo frame by chucking on as a slideshow on my desk at work. I don't connect to the wifi there.  Since iCloud photo I can't do this, as the pics are mostly low res, if there at all (two weeks after upload the vast majority of my library appears as just a sea of grey squares on both i-devices - thumbnails have not appeared for huge swathes of the library at all.  Is this going to right itself?).   I read about using Favourites to ensure local full res copies are kept, so I've gone through and favourited each pic (no option to do this in bulk on the iPad?) and this has ensured at least that each pic of those selected have thumbnails now, but no guarantee that the full image will display.  Even when I run the slideshow connected to wifi the low-res pixelated placeholder is what's displayed for most of the time the image is on the screen.  And if Favourites is the way to force local hi-res copies I still have no need for these to be also stored in full resolution on my iPhone.
    Basically, I want a way to force folders to be available in full, offline, and specific to the device.  Is this possible?  Big step back for what I use this thing for if not.

    Is there anything ornate in the frame images. Or are they more or less just made with strips of standard framing molding. If nothing fancy just molding  then an action that uses patterns and a little bit of scripting can frame your images orientation does not matter a little scripting handles that.  To scale you images to the proper size will take some scripting and the spread sheet exported to a CSV file containing filename width and height.
    My crafting action package contains 12 scripts to be used in actions.  Two of which would be very useful for your project. If you create you script to size the images so they have the correct print size.  The framing of these would be easy.  The action would first run two of my run twice scripts for action.  The first scripts saves the documents current resolution so the action can change it to what it need the document to have for its framing patterns.  The second script will rotate portrait images to landscape orientation.  The action can the add the 1" frame. once the frame is in place the action the runs the two scripts again. The second time these action run they will restore thing. One will rotate the documents it rotated to landscape back to portraits and the other will restore the documents resolution.  My image visualization package has framing actions and a script to make a 1" mitered selection to be filled with the framing pattern.

  • How do i sync full resolution photos from computer to phone?

    anyone know how to sync full resolution photos from computer to phone using itunes?  itunes does not show the option to "include full resolution photos."  photos i'd like to sync include both photos taken with iphone and photos i've taken with another camera.  i also don't have to use itunes, whichever program gets the photos in their separate folders back onto my iphone in full resolution is fine.  using itunes 10 / iphone 4S / ios 5.0.1
    thanks!

    As far as I know that's not possible when using iTunes. See this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15172235#15172235 and this one https://discussions.apple.com/message/15254581#15254581

  • Is there a big differnce when you check "include full-resolution photos"

    I was wondering the major difference, becuase if I wanted to transfer the images from the ipod to another device, would that be the right way, and will the full res pics take up to much space on the ipod hard drive.
    also how much compression is used when you don't use full res images?

    if you're looking at tranferring photos from the ipod to something else, it's important to include the full resolution photos. if you have that box unchecked, the only images you get on the ipod are the little "thumbs" that display on the ipod itself.
    the full res photos take up some room. i've got a test folder of 4 photos on attractive beast. "Photos" shows as 10.8 MB if i'm including the full res ... but only as 3.1 MB i'm not including the full res.

  • Full resolution iPod photo option not available??

    I want to transfer my photos to my iMac using the Full-resolution photo option so I can then transfer them back to other computers. The problem is the full resolution option in the iPod options is greyed out. I have enabled disk access as per the iPod tutorial. What else do I need to do?

    Unless I misunderstand your question....
    The two places (ipod and mac) where you could view your library images are displayng two different sets of data.
    The iPhoto library was in one format and the iPod has only (ipod formated) thumbnails on it.
    The iPod thumbnails are kept seperate from your iPhoto Library. On my machine they are in my PICTURES folder in iPod Photo cache.
    Since this is not the same set of files you could not restore it.
    NOW IF YOU REALLY HAVE YOUR iPHOTO LIBRARY on your iPod you could move it back to your hard drive while in disk mode to the expected location but DO YOU REALLY HAVE THAT FOLDER or do you have the thumbnails of that folder?

  • Full-resolution photos.

  • Does importing my photos using the connection kit import in full resolution.

    I have been using the connection kit to import my photos. I was wondering if it imports them thin full resolution?

    Yes. You can reconfirm it with apps like Exif Wizard-Pro

  • Photos cannot find my the full resolution of my images.

    I create a book in Photos.
    I save, close, power off.
    Next day, the full resolution version of lots of images are apparently missing from the book.
    If I locate the missing image in Photos, export the original, reimport it and place the reimported image on the page, it works.
    How can this be avoided?

    With the volume mounted you can use the demo version of iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library and it will make the rebuild library an "managed" library.  However, you must have iPhoto 9.6.1 in order to do so.  If you don't have it you can get it from the App Store by following the instructions in this post:

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Does the ipad preserve full resolution and exif data on imported photos?

    If I import photos to my IPad2 using the 'camera connection kit',
    a) How do I transfer those photos to my windows computer ?
    b) Does the IPad2 preserve the full resolution and EXIF data etc of the photo ?
    Thanks in advance for your answers !

    There is help in this article (but basically your computer should see the iPad as a camera and should appear in windows explorer if there are non-synced photos i.e. taken with the iPad, transferred via CCK, or saved from emails/websites etc) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    And, yes, the full photo and it's info is stored/copied i.e. they are the same as on the memory card.
