How best to resize photos using Aperture?

Resize in what way? Length by breadth? Use cropping.
File Size? What size and format are the original shots? Export presets are the way to go here.

How to arrange photos in Aperture slide shows to the beat of the music?

Is there anyone that knows how to arrange photos to the beat of the music in Aperture slide shows? I have tried to do a search for this topic, looked at "help" and still can get things to work properly. The "beat of music" command seems to be grayed out. Is there a bug in the software? Any help would be appreciated.

I have been following this thread with great interest. I have tried to do this in Aperture as well. Jumping ahead just a bit to what might be David's next issue, once we figure out why the option is not available to him.
For me once the music has been added the " Align slide to the beat" is available. However it doesn't seem to do anything.
I have accomplished this in iMovie and Final Cut Express. In both of these programs you have to actually mark the beats for things to work. You mark the beats and the software sets the play duration to match. This is pretty easy in iMovie. I am hoping for a similar or better interface in Aperture 3. How is this accomplished in Aperture?

How to resize photos in iPhoto?

Hi
I can seem to figure out how to resize my photos so I can send them via email or just make them smaller in general. Any suggestions?

What is your email client? If you use Mail, Eudora, Entourage or AOL then just select the photo you want to email and click on the Mail button. You'll be presented with a menu to choose the size of the file to attach to the email.
If you are using a web based email you'll have to export the files to the Desktop via the File->Export->File Export menu option where you'll be able to set the file size and quality level of the files.
See TD's treatis on file access on ways to access the photos for use outside of iPhoto.
Do you Twango?

How to resize photos for web pages

Can photos be resized within iPhoto to be used on a web site? If not what is the best program to do this to keep good quality photos but have a fast reloading time.

I need to edit photos for print and then create a second version for the web.
You can resize photos as you export from iPhoto - use a custom size and set what you need and upload the exported photos
This is how you do that - you can not "resize" within iPhoto - you resize (and make another copy) when you export.
As to your saving photos form PS into the iPhoto library and wondering why it does not work - it is becaus you must NEVER make any changes of any sor tto the structure or content of the iPhoto library using any program other than iPhoto - saving a photo into the iPhoto libray is not supported and will not work - you set PS as the external editor and when you finish editing you save and iPhoto handles the new image

How do I resize photos in Aperture to a specific size (645x369)?

I belong to a social organization. The web site web master said "“Make sure the images are the same size as the sizes under general setting on the left (645,x,369)" Does anyone that steps to accomplish this? Thanks.

First of all, cropp your images to an aspect ratio of 645,x,369, if the ratio width to height is different.
Then use a custom "Export Preset".
Export the image with File > Export > Version.
In the "Export Panel" set the "Export Preset" to "Edit"
Press "+" to define a new export preset.
Name the preset and set the "Size To" option to "fit within 645,x,369 pixels"
Then set the Export preset in the Export panel to your new custom presetand export your image.

How to resize photo to fit screen without loosing proportions?

I am in the process of creating a PowerPoint presentation and it will basically consist of photos, some text and a music background. I want the photos to fill my computer screen, so when I am in Elements 5, I am going to Image menu and then to resize - Image Size, and changing the pixel dimensions here. My monitor is set at 1280 x 1024 pixels and I am trying to resize my photos to 1280 x 1024 so that they will perfectly fill the entire monitor when the PowerPoint presentation is played. The problem is that when I go to resize the photos, I have to leave the Constrain Proportions options unchecked so that I can manually and freely enter the values I want for both the Width and the Height to match my monitor dimensions. When my photo is resized using this method, the proportions get thrown off and the picture looks a little funny. But if I check mark the Constrain Proportions option, then I will only be able to enter a value for one of the dimensions since Elements will automatically figure the other dimension for me. This way the proportions look fine, but the photo may not completely fill the screen the way I would like.
Is there some kind of work-around for this seeming catch-22 type of problem??
Thanks,
Lee

That's great about being able to use px (pixels) as the unit of measurement regarding the cropping tool. I will be playing around with this. Thanks for this great bit of information.
Real quick on my question regarding the original proportion of the photo. I am sorry about the confusion here. In my initial question I had mentioned how I had tried to resize my photo(s) by using the Image - Resize - Image Size command from the main menu and was not able to check the Constrain Proportions option because I needed to enter both values for the Width and Height to match my screen size in pixels. But when I did that, I lost the original proportion of the photo and it looked funny and such. People's faces were thinner and longer than they should have been etc... So when you started talking about using the crop tool to get my photo to the same pixel dimensions as my screen, I am just asking if the photo can maintain its original proportions, or might I be running into the same problem I had before when I was using the Image - Resize command. I am not talking about loosing my original photo, I am making all these changes to a copy of the original photo so my original is protected and safe. Maybe I should be calling it the aspect ratio. I am wondering if after I make these changes with the crop tool, can I also still maintain the original aspect ratio of the photo? Because this was my original problem, I was contorting the photo due to the aspect ratio changing. I hope I am using the right terms here being more clear?

How to resize photos for email

I have a MacBookAir 10.9 OS 0 in IPhoto...how can I resize any photo to send by email?
Thanks

With a web site, do not post high resolution images as the primary view of your products, that makes your site slower to load on lesser broadband connections, and more expensive to view on wireless connections.
For a web site, use lower-resolution and smaller images for the primary view, and use a web content management system that allows for (for instance) clicking on a photo to view a higher-resolution image, and/or a content management system that allows the user to access a higher-resolution gallery of images.
Default display of and mailing of larger and higher-resolution images chews up potentially very expensive data for folks on wireless connections, and usually won't be popular with mass-mailings. Lower-resolution and smaller and even thumbnails with web links to higher-resolution images — which can incidentally also include tracker URLs, even in HTML-based mail — will consume less of the mobile recipient's cash, and will load and view much faster, or will load. (On iOS, large messages will give the user the option to download the rest of a larger message, which means that most of your mail often won't even get viewed.)
Slow loads and large images can result in web connections get abandoned and mailing list clients drop off lists, too. Thumbnails and text and simple HTML are better.
As for "a good size", run some of your own tests on lower-performing network links, and see how well your content management system and your mail works in these situations — you're probably not aiming for customers on dial-up though I still deal with folks that only have that available — but you're definitely not going to want to assume ginormous network bandwidth with your marketing. One megabit per second (1 Mbps) "broadband" links — and slower — are still very common, after all. Also test your HTML with a few different clients, as there are various differences in how (or how well) HTML is rendered in various mail programs — some HTML mail looks like junk in some common clients.
All of this stuff is fairly typical fodder for web and email marketing discussions, and not at all specific to OS X.

How to resize photo upload icons in Safari?

When I go online to upload a photo from Safari, or any other browser for that matter, the preview icons in the grid view of the file upload pane are tiny. For example, I see the photo icons just fine in the finder window but, regardless of how big or small I scale the photos to be in the finder or on the desktop, the photo icons remain tiny in Safari. The icons were a fine size in Lion since I upgraded to Mountian Lion the icons have been really small and I haven't figured out how to change the size.
Any help to this conundrum would be much appreciated
^this is basically how tiny the icons are, when I'd really like maybe 3 or 4 photos per row

How to resize photos for retina display to avoid pixelation?

My original image file looks fine but after scaling down, it looks pixelated. However, it looks fine on non-retina display. Why is this so and how do I solve it?
Would appreciate your help!

Can you give us more details about the size/resolution of the photo before and after scaling it down?

How you organize photos without Aperture ?

Once again, which scheme do you use for organizing photos apart from Aperture built in engine ?
Do you name folders like
2006-08 New York
or
06-08 New York ?

I am mainly an animator, so while most of my photos are simply personal, I still have some professional photo work as well.
for my personal photos, I simply organize them by events, people, places, and things. and break it down further from there. I tend to find it easier for my uses to use all referenced files for my aperture library, so I have quick an easy access to the original files outside of aperture as well.
all my personal photos are stored simply in the pictures folder, as I described above.
for my professional work. I always keep a folder called Projects in the root of my user folder. In this folder I have all the types of Projects I may work on, Film/Animation, Illustration/Design, Photo, Sound, and Web Design, etc.
within the Photo projects folder, I organize it usually by client, and if you have a lot of clients, it may be benificial to organize it by year as well, but I believe in just keeping a project folder with folders for individual projects for that client works well.
it becomes an art at some point, haha

Can't figure out how to resize photos

Trying to get photos into Craig's List.
Apparently photo size is too big. Quits uploading.
Trying to get photos smaller, in proportion, in iPhoto. Went to 'crop" and then to the different sizes. Top two are in pixels, I think, one display (1920x1080) and one actual (3264x2448).
Then, down past the 2x3, 3x5, etc. options to customize. Typed in 500x350. But, in the information sidebar at lower left, shows now difference in size.
How in the heck can I decrease the size of a photo to get it onto Craig's List. Or anywhere else for that matter.

Problem solved ... although in somewhat of an unsusual way.
Simply couldn't upload photos to Craig's List.
When trying to upload photos, took forever and then quit. Site suggested I decrease the size of the photos. Never did figure out how to do that in iPhoto.
Went to "Help" menu, called friends, posted in Apple Discussions.
About to quit, when decided to switch browsers. Why not? Was using FireFox. Went to Safari and what do you know? Worked instantly.
Any ideas on what that was all about? Anyway, it's done. Feel like I've designed a Web Page.

How to, resize photo to 80kb's

can this be done on iphoto? how?

you can not resize to a specific KB size - when you export (file menu ==> export) you can resize in several ways - setting a maximum pixel dimension, changing image quality, etc - to hit a specific KB size you will have to experiment

How to resize photos added to Keynote, without doing it proportionally?

I want to scale a picture I add to Keynote for iPad, but it always does it proportionally. I can't skew it at all. If an object is added it can be skewed and scaled however, but this cannot be done with pictures added?
Am I missing a setting, or a technic?
Thanks

I was referring to resizing a jpeg file.
There is no technological way to resize a jpeg without either:
1 recompressing it.
2 using non-standard jpeg extensions.
The problem with #1 we are mostly familiar: re-jpeg'ing a jpeg causes degradation.
The problem with #2 is that other software won't be able to read them afterward.
I experimented with lossless resizing using a couple different programs (e.g. a libjpeg-based utility), and it worked perfectly, but Lr can't read the resized files (it does not support the requisite jpeg extensions), nor could ACDSee...
So, unless a specification for the jpeg extensions gets approved (and becomes a standard), I doubt we'll see lossless jpeg resizers in wide use.
I have written a lossless crop script, which may be the next best thing, it's free, and available here:
robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
Script name: 'Jpeg perma-crop lossless'.
Comes complete for Windows users, some assembly required on Mac.
It will overwrite original source files, so not recommended unless:
* it's really what you want to do, and/or
* you have backups of original source files, in case you cropped it wrong, or change your mind afterward..
(if possible, originals will be in trash/recycle-bin, so..).
To be clear, in this context, "lossless" means "maintaining jpeg format without recompression" - jpeg is a lossy format to begin with..
