Fullscreen image as background: What image size should be the original file?

Hello adobe users,
I'm creating for my first time a website which uses a photograph as the main background. This will be fullscreen. Her eyou have some examples:
http://www.flemingsteele.com/
http://www.benthomsonphoto.com/
Always better one image than 1000 of words.
My question is quite basic: What is the perfect image size the photograph should be for a fullscreen-image-background?
Is there any tips the photographer should take in place?
Any special mode?
Which format should it be? Panoramic? Rectangular?
What quality and weight should it have?
I'm very concerned that the raw material (the original pictures) compromise the final product. I want to create the website so it can adapt any screen resolutions. Can anybody help around?!

Hello,
Why the files are not allowed to grow beyond the 8GBThe MAXSIZE of the Datafile can be set to the value you want up to UNLIMITED ( which is limited physically according to the OS Platform, the db_block_size and the type of Tablespace - smallfile or bigfile ).
If you have a SMALLFILE TABLESPACE then the Datafile can have up to *4MBlocks*, so if the db_block_size is *2KB* you are limited to *8GB* even if you set MAXSIZE to UNLIMITED.
A SMALLFILE TABLESPACE can have up to 1022 Datafiles. So with a db_block_size of *2KB* the Tablespace can reach about *8TB* (with 1022 Datafiles of 8GB).
If you have a BIGSIZE TABLESPACE the Datafile can have up to *4GBlocks*, so if the db_block_size is *2KB* you are limited to *8TB*. But the Tablespace could have in this case only one Datafile and, you have to be sure that the OS Plateform can support such a large file.
Of course, if the db_block_size is larger, for instance *8KB* (which is an usual value), the limit for a Datafile belonging to a SMALLFILE TABLESPACE becomes *32GB*... And so on.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Why is Keynote storing images 20x larger than the original file size upon import?

In Keynote, I'll add a 150KB PNG image to a slide and the 500KB presentation goes to 3.7MB... a more than 3MB increase. I'm trying to troubleshoot large file sizes as a simple deck takes up 50-100MB on disk. Anyone know what is going on to make the file 20x larger once added to Keynote? And how I can keep the file size down? The 'Reduce File Size' option is worthless in this case... offering a less than 10% reduction on the earlier 20x amplification. Thanks

Yes converting an existing version 5 file in to Keynote 6 does many strange things. Any existing version 5 files I have, I continue to edit in 5. When starting a new presentation, I can use 6 without many problems at all.
I provided the files to replicate the issue to Apple support and never heard back.
Apple do not provide feedback to users on issues, they only request information from users.

Why is my "Combined PDF" file size smaller than the original files?

Hello!
I am trying to combine two individual PDF files into a single PDF. Each file is 32mb, however when I use acrobat to combine them, the newly created "combined" file is only 19mb. I believe I've taken the necessary steps to ensure no degradation is happening (i.e. selecting Large File Size in the options panel), but I am still puzzled as to how two files can be put together as one and be smaller than the two separate files with out any compression. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

When you combine a file it does a "Save As" operation. This re-writes all of the PDF object in the single file and is supposed to clean up the file, whereas the single files may have had multiple saves which when you look at the internals of the PDF file simply add on to the end of the file. In other words you get a more cleanly written and optimized file that is also saved for Fast Web View.

Diappearing photos replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle. Prior to loading Lion I could put the image number in finder and locate the original file for that photo. How do I restore photos now?

I had problems with photos disappearing and being replaced by an exclamation point within a triangle. I can see the photo in the thumbnail summary but when you click on it, the screen goes black and the exclamation point within a triangle appears along with the info on the original image number (i.e., img_1120.jpg). Prior to loading Lion, I could go to Finder, enter the image number and locate the original file for that photo. I could then restore it for editing, copying into Print Shop directly, etc. That no longer works after installing Lion. How do I restore photos now? I have 100s of photos that I have been going back to the original files and restoring and I am frantic that I will no longer be able to get to the original files. Please help! Thanks

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 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 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 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. .

Guys, any idea what is the exact thing to put to resize or enlarge the image size to make the phot

Guys, any idea what is the exact thing to put to resize or enlarge the image size to make the photo larger or bigger when uploading in Facebook?? thanks

You could check "Resize to Fit" and specify the exact dimensions you want in the Lightroom Export dialog box.
But a word to the wise ... don't bother ... there is a maximum size that Facebook allows for photos, and you'd be wasting your time specifying anything reasonably large in Lightroom's Export dialog box.

Some one please help me,when i try to resize psd file its showing this message ...whats the issue ???
"Could not complete the image size command because the file name was not valid"
Thanks !

Can you change other images via Image > Image Size?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

[Gnome-shell] make the notification image size depends of the sender

Hi,
I just set up my Arch and decided to make it beautiful.
And one of the things upset me was the size of the profil picture in Gwibber notification.
So I decided to look a bit into the Gnome-Shell code to change that.
Now, Gwibber notification will be displayed with 48px images, while Rhythmbox will still display 125px images.
Here is the code :
In /usr/share/themes/<your-theme>/gnome-shell/
gnome-shell.css
/* We use row-span = 2 for the image cell, which prevents its height preferences to be
taken into account during allocation, so its height ends up being limited by the height
of the content in the other rows. To avoid showing a stretched image, we set the minimum
height of the table to be ICON_SIZE + IMAGE_SIZE + spacing-rows = 24 + 125 + 10 = 159*/
.notification-with-image {
min-height: 159px;
/*=== ADD THIS === */
/* Same for twitter notification :
24 + 48 + 10 = 82*/*/
.notification-with-twitter-image {
min-height: 82px;
/*=== END ADD ====*/
Add the .notification-with-twitter-image section.
The idea is to differentiate the two type of notification to apply different height on it.
In /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui
messageTray.js
setImage: function(image) {
if (this._imageBin)
this.unsetImage();
this._imageBin = new St.Bin();
this._imageBin.child = image;
this._imageBin.opacity = 230;
this._table.add_style_class_name('multi-line-notification');
/*this._table.add_style_class_name('notification-with-image');*/
/*=== ADD THIS === */
if (this.IMAGE_SIZE === 48) {
this._table.add_style_class_name('notification-with-twitter-image');
} else { // IMAGE_SIZE === 125
this._table.add_style_class_name('notification-with-image');
/*=== END ADD ==== */
this._addBannerBody();
this._updateLastColumnSettings();
this._table.add(this._imageBin, { row: 1,
col: 1,
row_span: 2,
x_expand: false,
y_expand: false,
x_fill: false,
y_fill: false });
unsetImage: function() {
if (this._imageBin) {
this._table.remove_style_class_name('notification-with-image');
/*=== ADD THIS === */
this._table.remove_style_class_name('notification-with-twitter-image');
/*=== END ADD ==== */
this._table.remove_actor(this._imageBin);
this._imageBin = null;
this._updateLastColumnSettings();
if (!this._scrollArea && !this._actionArea)
this._table.remove_style_class_name('multi-line-notification');
Here we add everything related to notification-with-twitter-image in both functions.
Adding the class, and removing the class.
notificationDaemon.js
// We only display a large image if an icon is also specified.
if (icon && (hints['image-data'] || hints['image-path'])) {
let image = null;
/*=== ADD THIS === */
if (ndata.appName === 'Gwibber') {
notification.IMAGE_SIZE = 48;
/*=== END ADD ==== */
if (hints['image-data']) {
let [width, height, rowStride, hasAlpha,
bitsPerSample, nChannels, data] = hints['image-data'];
image = St.TextureCache.get_default().load_from_raw(data, hasAlpha,
width, height, rowStride, notification.IMAGE_SIZE);
} else if (hints['image-path']) {
image = St.TextureCache.get_default().load_uri_async(GLib.filename_to_uri(hints['image-path'], null),
notification.IMAGE_SIZE,
notification.IMAGE_SIZE);
notification.setImage(image);
} else {
notification.unsetImage();
Here, we modify the IMAGE_SIZE depending if it's a Gwibber notification.
That's all.
Edit: Does someone know how to submit this patch to Gnome-Shell developers ?

Hi,
I wasn't exactly clear, but yes there is a specific place to add the code.
My patches only add code to the existing one.
You should search in original file for code I didn't add (outside the "===== ADD THIS =====" blocks), and then add my code were I added it.

What pixel size should film clips be?

I'm requesting to have some film clips sent to me, that I will be importing to a film of mine. The person I'm requesting the clips from is asking what pixel size should he send the clip to me in?
He is converting the clips from PAL into NTSC and is asking any format information he need to know before doing so.
Should I just tell him:
Frame rate:24
Dimensions:640x480
Encoding mode: Multi-pass.
These are the setting I took from quick time movies.
Does anyone know?

You probably meant to say video not film.
If the material is DV PAL and he is converting it to DV NTSC, he should give you 720x480 29.97fps 48khz/16 bit clips.

Email-to facilitate emailing a photo by gmail or AOL, I reduce the file size. Is it better to reduce the image size or increase the jpg compression?

To facilitate emailing a photo by gmail or AOL and avoid overwhelming the recipient's screen, I reduce the file size. Is it better to reduce the image size or increase the jpg compression? I have been making a duplicate image of 35 MB and reducing the image size to 8"x12" at 72 resolution giving a file size of 1.4 MB. Then I SAVE AS a jpg of medium compression giving a file size of about 111 KB. Overkill?

Go to File>save for web.
I usually make the long side 800 px
At the bottom of the dialog, check "constrain proportions."
At the top, select JPEG in the dropdown for the file format.
All the work is done for you! 72px/in is ok for web work. 240-300px/in is the recommended range for printing.

Nothing much. Different formats.

Try editing the original file. Resample pics to a lower resolution, check out other graphics, check table borders (eliminate any dotted lines or borders), check font usage. When generating PDF, try Save As (instead of Print > Save As), although I don't expect that'll make much difference.
Next, open the PDF in Preview, choose File > Save As, choose Format: PDF, Quartz Filterz: Reduce File Size. If that isn't enough, you can use ColorSync Utility to duplicate the Reduce File Size filter, and then edit it for a more aggressive size reduction. But keep in mind that size reduction means lower quality.

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

Hi Glenyse,
Here are my steps.
1. I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
2. I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
3. I enter the recipient's email address.
4. The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
5. The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
6. The image opens up to its own screen.
7. The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
Here is the part I do not understand. For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name. So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

Why Don't Contact Images Come Along In The VCard File? :-O

Why Don't Contact Images Come Along In The VCard File? :-O

Thanks for the replies and help. Since I was taking pictures of the same image in both color and B&W, I didn't know that the B&Ws were being imported in color and didn't catch it. If they were of a different scene, I would have caught it. So, I just learned something about RAW files! Thanks again! Gotta walk before you can run.

HT1399 My songs can't be played because the original files can't be found. What can I do?

I can't play my songs on my computer because the original files can't be found. I can, however, play them on my ipod. I tried to re-download my purchases but itunes won't allow me to do so. What can I do to retrieve my music files on my computer?

If you still have the 'pointers' to the tracks on your computer's iTunes (even if the files themselves aren't on there) then it won't let you re-download them as it assumes that they are still there - if you delete the 'pointers' then you should be able to copy your Apple purchases back from the iPod via File > Transfer Purchases, and depending on which country that you are in you might also be able to re-download them for free. For music bought from other sources or copied from CDs you will either need to copy them back onto your computer from a backup, or you need to get a third-party program that can copy them off the iPod

When I try to listen to a song I purchased last week, I get the message, "could not be used because the original file could not be found. would you like to locate it?" What do I do to find it?

When I try to listen to the songs I purchased from iTunes last week, I get the error message, "could not be used because the original file could not be found. would you like to locate it?" What do I do to fix this problem or locate the song?
Thanks!

I am getting this same message. I recently bought a new Macbook Pro and the geeks transferred my files from my mini-mac. Perhaps they did not transfer something critical? I follow the "locate" option when it asks to find my files and I get a file folder that has a red circle with a white bar in the middle.
I have the same issues with my downloaded movies but my apps all seem to be fine.
Even more confusing - it seems to allow random songs to play and download on my Macbook and other devices. But most of my music - whether downloaded from iTunes or my CD collection comes up with that message about the original file.
Should I get new geeks to locate these files on my old mini-mac?

Hi I bought 2TB WD my passport for mac but I do not know what I can delete from the original macbook air. Thank you.

Hi I bought 2TB WD my passport for mac but I do not know what I can delete from the original macbook air. Thank you.

That depends on what you have on the MBA...if you have videos, move the videos to the external drive. If you have a lot of music, create a folder/library for the music and point iTunes there for the music. If you have a lot of photos for iPhoto, make a new library on the external drive and move our photos over there and then select that library as the default library for iPhoto to use.
Those are the big files and should take a lot of the load off the internal storage.
