How to Transfer Full-Resolution Images without Risk of Compression

Hello!
This is more of a general image question, but I couldn't figure out where to post such a question. I apologize if that causes any hulabaloo.
In the past (but only once), I have used an online service that allowed me to zip a large amount of high-resolution images and upload them to their website in order to transfer them to another person (the other person would download the images at their convenience, within an allotted amount of time), while maintaining their full image quality. I can't remember the name of this service, though. I recall, that, in order to use it, I had to sign up for a free 14-day trial, so it is a paid service, although at the time, I only needed it once (or so I thought).
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or can anyone recommend a service that does this?
Thanks for any help!

The original question wanted to send files "while maintaining their full image quality". Zipping and then unzipping does not change the quality of the image. Creating a JPG changes the quality of an image, although in many cases the quality loss is undetectable by human eyes.

HT201317 How do I download full resolution images from icloud

i have my devices set to Optimize iPhone/iPad Storage. I also have them set to Upload to My Photostream. I understand this to mean that my images are uploaded to the cloud full resolution but downloaded back to my devices at lower size and resolution to optimize space. If I need to download to full sized images later, how do I get to them?
thanks

Your PC will always download full resolution versions.
If you are using iCloud photos library on your mobile device and you use the optimise option, your photos may or may not be reduced in resolution (this depends on whether they needed to be optimised which is automatically determined by your free space). I'm not 100% sure but I think that if the image is optimised you may download the full resolution image simply by opening it on your mobile device. However if you are in any doubt, putting it in edit mode (temporarily) does definitely download the full resolution version (if it's not already on your device).

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

Hi Peru Bob,
I've tried two images, the results were:
Image 1
Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
Image 2
Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)

How can I attach an image without the image is in the email body? (using the new mail the Lion)
I want in attachment, not in the body mail.

I think your only solution is to zip the image files first and then attach them.
Read this from a site I found:
Sending Graphical Attachments -- When you attach a graphical image to your message, the recipient of your message sees the image inline (that is, in the body of the message) if her email client supports inline display. ("Take Control of Email with Apple Mail" contains a table listing the capabilities of popular Mac and PC email clients.) If a client does not support inline display (or the recipient has turned off the inline display option), the file appears as an attachment that must be opened in a separate program.
On the one hand, an inline image is easier for the recipient to see - all she has to do is look at it. On the other hand, inline images can be frustrating to scroll through. If you do not wish to send a graphical image inline, you must compress the file before attaching it - Mail, sadly, lacks a built-in compression option, though fortunately for Panther users, the Finder offers Zip compression without requiring a separate application.
Note that when you compose a new message, Mail always shows attachments in the body of your message. You can manually drag them somewhere else, but many email clients display all attachments in a separate list, regardless of where you place them in the message body.
If you paste an image into a message or drag & drop an image from another window (say, a Web browser), Mail converts the raw image data to an attachment in TIFF format. On the other hand, if you drag & drop the icon of an image file (or use the Attach button to locate the file using the file browser), Mail leaves the attached image in its original format. This difference is significant, because although most email clients can display JPEG images just fine, support for TIFF - especially in non-Mac email clients - is less common. If possible, I suggest attaching image files as opposed to pasting or dragging in raw image data.

HT2477 How do I select multiple images without clicking on each one? Is there a way to select duplicate photos to delete them?

How do I select multiple images without clicking on each one? Is there a way to select duplicate photos to delete them?

Consider adding the delete symbol to the Finder window tool bar. This way you can highlight all the photos you want to delete at the same time then hit the "delete" symbol.
Open a Finder window/View/Customize Toolbar - follow the directions in the customized pop down window.

Double clicking iPhoto thumbnail doesn't load full resolution image.

After mistaking the new Photo application for iPhoto, I couldn't find the original 206 G iPhoto volume of my pix. Finally found it but couldn't get the thumbnail images in the application to load the full resolution images after I double clicked them. Please help. It's got me scared. I tried to rebuild after rebooting with Command and Option held down, but no fix in sight. The thumbnails still refuse to link to the full resolution images. Help!

Can I get full resolution images on my iPhone?

I was wondering if there's a way to get full resolution images on my iPhone, because everything that I synched get's blury when you zoom in. I know that the images on my computer are big enough, because on of the smaller ones is 1024x1578.

Vids, i suppose you mean videos....anyway, there is a way to copy files (menu->applications->home media) from pc through wifi connection by sharing your media files from your computer on the network and sharing center (Win Vista). If you want to transfer files that are not media (mp3,mp4 etc.) like .sis files then you need to change the extension in a media one (xxxx.sis.mp3) and after copying it, delete that extension you placed in the end of the file.
What i would want to know is if there's a way to copy files from the phone to PC via wifi ... !? like making your phone a workgroup computer in the network.
You didn't write what phone you have but you can set up a VPN connection for Intranet on some devices. It's not a simple task though.

How can I put another image without its associated sound on an audio (without its image) ?

IMovie 11 : how can I put one image without its associated sound on an audio (without its image) ? thanks

Hi
As iMovie doesn't orient after Time - but only after Video/Photo clips is this not so easy to do.
I use black photos as Dummy clips - and put them into a new project first
then I add the Music I want
Then I drop the Video-clip (that I realy want) ontop of the black dummy photo - Where it's supposed to be - THEN IF advanced tools are selected (in iMovie preferences) there will be a Drop-Down menu and here I can select to do a Cutaway - and select not to add the audio from it (or in wave-form just silence it out)

Full resolution images possible?

I am uploading some of my files from photoshop, and PNG files are rather crappy. Is there a way to pevent iWeb from converting them to PNG files and leave them as psd or jpg files? Also, I want to keep full resolution, I thought that was the point of iWeb when they first released it.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hello, pcConvert. There are a couple of things you maybe need to understand about how any web program (not just iweb) works. This is very different from working towards printing an image, so it confuses a lot of people.
1. No web browser understands psd files. JPEG, GIF, PNG are the best graphics formats for web display, because most browsers understand them (although older versions of IE are notorious for PNG-illiteracy).
2. The kind of resolution you seem to be talking about (higher ppi= better print) doesn't exist on the internet. Computer monitors only understand pixel dimensions. A photo that is 900 pixels wide will display exactly the same whether it's saved at 300 ppi, 1000 ppi, or 2 ppi. That setting just doesn't apply for onscreen display.
iWeb resizes your photos to 800 pixels (or less) on the long dimension, because that's about as large as you can go and expect the entire image to fit on most monitors without a lot of scrolling. As JIm McCormaic said, you can include a full sized version for downloading, if you want. A regular graphics program like Photoshop can resize for more viewing options than a web browser can give you.
Current versions of iweb don't normally convert JPGs to PNG files, unless the image uses transparency, which the JPEG format can't use (in any program, not just iweb).

Full resolution image editing? Also sharpness issue + Camera Crashes

Is there any way I can use the built in image editor to edit my images at full resolution, or even a selected resolution?
I quickly edited something I want printed to see what I could do with it, and I really like the 'Latte' filter, but I can't print the image it creates because it's a low resolution.
Alternatively does anyone know how to recreate this filter in photoshop?
Also I noticed that when I tried to add sharpness to an image it warped the image? Will this be fixed?
Additionally the camera app frequentley hangs after taking a picture, especially through being accessed by whatsapp etc, and other times it says 'Camera not available', this is really frustrating and also happens to my other Z1, will there be a fix for this?
Thanks!

How to see full size images when selecting multiple photos

In the Photos app, I click to view a photo and it shows up full screen like it used to. But now when I try to select multiple photos to upload to an email by hitting the send-to button at the lower left, suddenly all the photos are thumbnails at the top and a host of options fill the screen where the full-sized image used to be. Without full size previews I can't tell what photos in a series are really the better ones. Is there a way in iOS 8.1.1 to flip through your photos full screen and only select a few? It seems like this worked before but now this function has been removed? Thanks

Thanks for your answer. I think you are correct.
I did discover that when entering the first letter of a keyword in the box, a list comes up with suggestions. Frequently that list is only of the keywords that begin with the letter I entered. Once in a while I can get the entire list but I don't know how I do it. It seems intermittent but I suspect it is not. Any idea how that happens? Thanks again.

Save Full Resolution Image iPhoto

I was editting a photo on my iPad3 in iPhoto, and when I save it to the camera roll, it is significantly compressed and the textures in the graphic I'm using get lost and blurry. is there a way to save a photo without it being compressed?
What I did was bring in a graphic I made, and editted it in iPhoto, saved it to the camera roll and when I compare the two images in iPhoto, the original is crisp and sharp but the other one that I saved has bad aliasing and has blurred out most of the texture in the graphic.
What is going on here. The help area says that saving a photo to the camera roll saves it in full resolution. But why is it compressing it still?
Any help appreciated.

I have the same problem with you, iPhoto didnt have us to choose the resolution, it auto resize and compressed the file.
I think you can make a feedback

How to get full resolution on Samsung E2420L monitor?

I bought a Samsung E2420L external monitor for my MacBook Pro. The box says 1920 x 1080, however I can't seem to get the Mac to push more than 1600 x 900. Samsung doesn't list any Mac drivers, how can I get the full resolution?
Thanks!

Use extended mode rather than mirrored mode in your display settings on your computer. Uncheck mirrored". Mirrored mode mirrors your computer display, including the resolution, to the external monitor. Extended mode lets you use the external monitor's native resolution.

How to make high resolution image?

Hi All, I am in an urgent requirement where I have few .tif images. There size is very high. When I am uploading, there resolution is not good and they are automatically converted to jpg.
Can some one tell me "How to make this image high resolution image" Is there any setting or tips and tricks?
Reply immidiatly,

The original image is in MDM. I think what you may be getting confused by is the thumbnail view. The thumbnail view is automatically generated to give you just a low res view of the original from within MDM, likely for the sake of performance.
If you go to the Images table and right click on the image and select "view original" you will see that the high res original that was loaded is still there. You can also create image variants through the Console to generate other versions of the original to use for web or print. I don't think you can change the defaults used for the thumbnail.
