HT5595 resizing photos to fit wallpapers

Does anybody know how you can resize different photos that would fit to create wallpapers. I've tried to edit my photos by resizing them to square and smaller sizes which in turn makes them bigger and cant fit.

File - Automate - Fit Image
or
File - Scripts - Image Processor
Both these will let you do the the conditional resize.

  • How do I resize photos to fit within Source or Program?

    I was able to do so in Source or Program before but no longer able to. Using PP5.5. Just setup my editing system, using exact same equipment, after not in use for four months. I had edited other projects where I had to resize photos and was always able to resize within the Source or Program monitor.

    Right-click any clip on the timeline and choose "Scale to Fit". Or set that up in Preferences (does not affect media already imported) so it is automatic. Can still be manually over-ridden on timeline on a per-clip basis. Easier than scaling a lot of stills one by one.

  • Is There A Way To Resize Photos To Fit Desktop Display?

    Whenever I find cool pics to make into a desktop slideshow, they're either too big or too small. Centering or tile views never look right. I can crop photos in Preview, but it's both tedious and basically guesswork. Is there a standard size that fits?

    The size of the pic needed will depend on your screen size and your resolution. You can use an app such as GraphicConverter

    to resize until you get the right size.

  • 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?

  • Re:  Resizing photos to 1920 x 1920 to fit CafeAsk regulations

    How do I resize photos to a 1920 x 1920 format to fit CafeAsk requirements?  

    Once you get to PSE9  the following tips might be of some help if you plan on sticking with it:
    Using Photoshop CS3 (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto 11.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    s  I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
    Click to view full size
    This way you get the best of both worlds.
    If you're running iPhoto 09 let me know and I'll post the tips for that version.  It's nearly the same except for the last screenshot.
    Good idea using Pages.  A lot can be done with it and photos.

  • Resizing photos in Preview

    Hey...
    When I attempt to resize photos in Preview... sometimes it works, but more often it doesn't. I can try to save the image after the resize, or I've tried closing the image and forcing the Preview Save dlg box... either way... sometimes it works, i.e., actually resizes the image, but, more often, it doesn't.

    Thanks,
    Lang

    Things seem to have gone terribly wrong with the Preview features regarding size and the window, zooming, zoom to fit, and so on. Be sure to let Apple know:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    The results I'm getting are all over the map, in terms of behavior, which is not consistent, let alone on a par with the Leopard version of Preview.

  • Can't resize column to fit text

    Can't resize column to fit text in numbers.  option is "grayed-out" no matter what I do

    It is either a glitch or a rather unfun new thing. No one knows for sure. You do have a bit more control if you go into your photos app, find your photo and tap on the little box with the arrow poking out of it. That allows you to send it to be wallpaper. You can do some scaling, although not as much as you used to.
    Finding work arounds is about all you can do until it's fixed.

  • Need help resizing photos - confused as to why this isn't working

    Hi - I have a customer looking for photos to be 1024x683 and 360x240.  I sized my artboard in Illustrator to those dimensions, dropped in the photo and resized it to fit.  Saved file.  When running cursor over file name - blip comes up and says file size dimensions are 1504 x919 for example (they're all different) and these are examples on the ones that I sized for 360x240.  If anyone can respond that would be great as I'm supposed to have about 100 files out overnight tonight!  Thanks!...h

    You can use save for web, just don't forget to turn on clip to Artboard. Otherwise items off the artboard would make your document larger. An artboard not filled short of the EXACT edges, would also make your document smaller.
    If you need a different format, use export but check use arboards there and then choose screen resolution.

  • Adjusting photos to fit the themes in iDVD6

    I am new to this program but have knowledge on Macs. My issue is that all the photos I drag over to iDVD do not fit the boxes in a theme so the heads in pictures are cut off of many images. I could use some help in getting the photos ready before transfering them to iDVD. THANKS........

    blackcat9,
    Welcome to the iDVD forum!
    You can resize photos in iPhoto using the iDVD constrain tool
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61366
    There is an "iDVD" 4:3 setting for standard DVDs, and a 16:9 tool fo WS DVDs.
    However, this said, it does not mean they will still fit in "Drop Zones" - which is what I think you mean ny the "boxes in a theme". You can drag a picture inside a drop zone to recenter it, but iDVD usually only lets you drag in one direction. You can always go back to iPhoto and re-crop, but those aspect ratios are not always the same. I usually manage by just guestimating in iPhoto and then recentering in iDVD in the drop zone.

  • Resizing photos to use for wallpaper

    Just got my Droid Razr, how do I get my Gallery photos to fit on my wallpaper??  They are too big, I see the orange box that you can use to resize but the photos are still too big and out of focus when I chose them for wallpaper. ???

    Wrong, am able to use old pictures as wall paper.  Open your camera roll - photos - select the pic - hit the up arrow and then use as wall paper
    I just test this from a picture I took in 2005.

  • Looking for app to quickly with keyboard shortcut (i.e. Control   R) resize photos like I can do with Irfanview in Windows

    Hello,
    I am trying to switch from Windows to OSX but must first find Mac equivalent solutions for daily tasks performed in Windows.
    1. I am looking for an app to quickly resize photos using keyboard shortcuts, i.e. Control + R, just like I can do with Irfanview in Windows.
    2. I am looking for an app which will quickly resize multiple photos like I can do with Irfanview.
    3. I am looking for another (or the same) light weight app to quickly convert and combine one or more jpgs to PDF. The windows app I am currently using is called JPEGtoPDF from www.compulsivecode.com.
    Many thanks for helping me switch to OSX!

    Photoshop Elements has the ability to sync and save photos in Adobe Revel with the use of mobile albums. Photoshop Elements is a consumer product that is not included in creative cloud. Photoshop is the professional photo editing app that is included in Creative Cloud.

  • How do i resize photo attachment in icloud mail

    How do I resize photo attachment in icloud mail. The resize button does not appear as it did  before.

    Using iCloud mail online via a browser does not offer the option to resize the photo.  It's only available when emailing from iPhoto so iPhoto can do the resizing as it adds the image to the email.  Safari or whatever browser you're using doesn't have that capability.

  • How to save resized photo in the event

    I am having trouble saving my resized photo in my event. When I open an event, choose the photo I want to resize, and use the export feature, I am unable to choose my event as a place to save to. Any suggestions. What I end up doing is saving it somewhere else I don't want to based on my limited choices in the drop down and moving it to the event. This is a hassle.
    I also tried to resize the photo using the preview program and saving it to my event. THis way I at least got the option, but the saved file doesn't show up in the iphoto event, only in the finder when I view all of my photos.
    Any suggestions. In a perfect world I just want to upload photos from my camera, iphoto creates an event which is great. and now I just want to resize them and have the original and the resized photo in the same event visible in iphoto. Is this possible?

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    If you want to have two different resolutions of a photo in iPhoto (and I can think of no reason to have this) you have to export the photo in the second resolution and import that new photo into iPhoto
    You should never "save" anything into the iPhoto library - iPhoto is a database and you should never add or modify anything inside the iPhoto library
