I photo "zoom" and "crop" function

Maybe I'm missing something but I'm unable (when in edit photo) to zoom in on a photo and then try to crop to that particular area. Every time I hit crop the picture reverts back to the original size. I was always able to this with ease in prior versions. Help please! Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Start with this basic fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Automatically zoom and crop an image to fit in a square

I've got an mx:Image which is loading an image from the web. I don't know how big the image will be in advance. I'd like the loaded image to fit within the mx:Image's square frame by zooming and cropping off the sides or top/bottom as needed. In other words, if the image frame is 64x64 and the loaded image is 70x64, it will be centered and lose a few pixels on the right and left sides. Is it possible to do automatically? I've played with maintainAspectRatio and scaleContent but I haven't been able to get what I want.

In an ideal world we would use a high resolution version with a 100% width set for every device (and screen size). Because of bandwidth reasons, the page should load only a version of the image intended for a specific width range.
Sometime in the future we will (probably) be able to use this:
<picture width="500" height="500">
 <source media="(min-width: 45em)" src="large.jpg">
 <source media="(min-width: 18em)" src="med.jpg">
 <source src="small.jpg">
 <img src="small.jpg" alt="">
 Accessible text
</picture>
However, this will not yet work. Therefore, ideally, a polyfill picturefill method that works quite well can alternatively be used:
https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill
Solution:
Call the picturefill.js (see above url for more information and sample code)
body:

 
 
 
 
 
 <noscript>
 <img src="external/imgs/small.jpg" alt="A giant stone face at The Bayon temple in Angkor Thom, Cambodia">
 </noscript>
 
This works in all browsers and devices. On a mobile platform only the lower resolution image will be loaded up.

Iphoto - Zoom and crop question.

I have seem this question asked but I am still unable to execute this process.
I zoomed on a photo on iphoto to send via email and when I went to crop it (as in save the zoom for that photo), it always reverted back to the original size.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Alan.

Sorry I don't think I explained properly.
I just want to zoom into a picture of two faces in the photo, close up and then send it.
I have tried numerous times with no success.
Thanks
Alan.

Are you serious that photoshop does not support touch zoom and rotate??!!

I just spent thousands of dollars on a new cintiq 22hd touch and now people are telling me that touch zoom and rotate are not supported in photoshop when running it with a windows platform (only works with MACS)???!!! are you serious???!!! I just tested this out and its TRUE!!! You can pan with touch but not zoom or rotate. The zoom and rotate functions work in all my other programs BUT NOT PHOTOSHOP. I even have the latest version of photoshop (CC), latest patch and all and nope! no multitouch support!
I dont know who im more pissed with WACOM or ADOBE. Wacom's touch advertising was supposed to be their selling point! if you cant even use it with the most popular graphics program...err what's the point??? And Adobe should have provided support like what...AGES AGO...the touch tablets and cintiqs have been out for almost a year now!
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE LIVE IN 2013 and the best graphic hardware IS NOT COMPATIBLE with THE BEST GRAPHIC SOFTWARE on an OS (windows) that like over 50% of the population use??!!
UNBELIEVABLE!

I do not have a cintiq however I down loaded the user manuals for the DTH-2242 and DTK-2241 and the Cintiq 22HD> the first two Interactive pen displays seem to support multi Touch where the Cintiq 22HD only seem to support touch strips.
The ones with multitouch support show this in the user manuals. On windows standard gestures are always on and there is no TAB. I would not like that.

Premier Elements 12 zoom vs crop

On some clips the default pan and zoom tool does a pan and zoom, but on other clips it does a crop and pan (without me changing anything). I don't want the crop... I want it tpo zoom and pan all the time for this project. I've right clicked everywhere I can think of and don't come up with a settings menu. Is there a settings menu other than via the Applied Effect toggle (which doesn't have a setting I can see for this cropping issue).
Also, when I've created a sequence of focus frames, I can access the marker in the in the timeline to move the focus frame. When I click on a marker it jumps the CTI to that spot, but doesn't allow me to grab the marker. Is there a setting I'm missing, or is there another way to move the marker.

Premier Elements 12 zoom vs crop
created by A.T. Romano in Premiere Elements - View the full discussionastrofun I have not finished by testing on the issue that you present. I created an 4K video so that I would work through the details that you are presenting. In spite of these zoom and crop that you feel are occurring randomly and for which you seek an explanation, are you getting the wanted pan and zoom effects when the video returns to the Expert workspace Timeline from the Pan and Zoom workspace. I am suspecting that this zoom and crop that you are seeing is solely in the Pan and Zoom workspace and are reflecting the mechanics of your establishment of the focus frames as you move the Timeline Indicator from the first focus frame (first frame of the video) from left to right. Not exactly sure what you mean!
 - I highlight my clip, then open Pan and Zoom tool
 - When opened, the tool has 2 focus frames marked... one at each end of the clip. I am not able to grab the marker and move either of these on the timeline (or any subsequent time frames). Once I create a frame its there... I can't mover it by the marker (as soon as I click on the marker the CTI comes to that spot, and I can't get to a menu or screen change when I click on the pan duration
 - What I have been doing is deleting the default focus frame #2, moving my CTI to the place where I want a pan to stop, and inserting a new focus frame, then size and locate it on my image.
 - Follow this exact procerdiure and on some clips I get a zoom with the whole frame filling the screen, and on some clips I get a crop with only part of the screen being filled.
I will try to post some screenshots in the morning to show you were my thinking went on that.

Canon Power Shot A1100 IS - how do I zoom in an already taken photo, and crop it to desired image.

I would like to zoom in an already taken picture and crop to desired magnification. Can anyone tell me how to do this on the Canon Power Shot A1100 IS.
Kind Regards
Catherine

Catherine,
You can crop the image in the included Image Browser or Zoom Browser software. There isn't a method to be able to crop in camera. We regret any inconvenience that this may cause you at this time.

I use the SCC mediaserver in my work, and the crop function has stopped working on Firefox, although it works on Internet Explorer, and I'm wondering if a recent upgrade caused that problem.

I am a newspaper copy editor and use Firefox to work from home. I use the SCC mediaserver to crop photos and place them in the JazBox system, which includes Adobe InCopy and InDesign. For some reason, the crop function is not working on the SCC when I go on it in Firefox, although it's working in Internet Explorer, which is much slower. I didn't have this problem until I installed a Firefox update today. What can I do?

Try to update to Firefox 8.0.1
You can find the latest Firefox release here:

Calendar Photos - The Yellow Alert Icon and Cropping

This also happens in iPhoto 5/6 when creating a book.
When placing the photo in the calendar many times I get a Yellow "Alert" icon that shows that the photo does not fit into the window/box I placed it into!!!
1. How do I get rid of the Yellow Alert Icon, or how do I make the photo place properly.
2. Why is there NOTHING in Help about the Yellow Alert Icon and how to get rid of it???
Thx Much to anyone who can help.
jack

I found this by entering "yellow" in the "Help" screen search box. The topic includes samples that illustrate the yellow icon (which, unfortuately, did not reproduce in the post):
What to do about a low-resolution warning
A digital photo is made up of millions of individual dots of color, called pixels. A photo's "resolution" is the number of dots per inch (dpi) that it contains. The higher the resolution, the more dots per inch. Some photos may look jagged or blurry when printed if their resolution is too low.
When you design a book, calendar, or card, or order prints, a warning symbol indicates any low-resolution photos:
To improve a photo's print quality:
Choose a smaller print size. In a book or calendar layout, you can do this by increasing the number of photos per page.
If you previously cropped the photo, revert to its original version and crop off a smaller portion, or leave it uncropped.
If you positioned a photo within its frame by zooming in on it, zoom out of the photo.
If you get a low-resolution warning after trying these methods, you can still order prints of the image or include it in your book, calendar, or card, but it may not print as clearly as your other photos.

How do i turn off new zoom in and out function on IOS 7?

Hi Apple support people
How do i turn off the IOS 7 new zoom in and out function when opening and closing applications. The movement makes me sick and gives me a head ack when i use it.

Exclamation mark appears instead of photo. Recently upgraded from i mac to Macbook air and all was transferred over. I have run all the repair and rebuild functions in iphoto. Any other solution?

Since iPLM failed to help try the following:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Problem uploading enhanced and crop photos

When I upload enhanced and crop photos from my iPad2 to Dropbox the original photo gets uploaded.
I am using the native iPad photo app on my iPad2 to enhance and crop I see that there are others with similar problems but no real solution. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is Apple issue. Seems I have wasted a lot of time enhancing photo but can't share them. Very annoying!!!
Any ideas? Need Help ASAP.
Thanks

Disregard lasts - I see the issue now having played around a little. Do your crop, email it to yourself, click on the checkout arrow at top of email screen and hit save image. Image is saved back to photoroll in cropped state. The original cropped image appears in photoroll. Click it, select image and then edit and revert. It will go back back - but the saved photo from email stays as it is..
You can now upload the saved image to dropbox. Hope this resolves your issue, Regards, Ct

Photos Forgot Their Crop and Edits in iOS 8

I have an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.1 with iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled and "Download and Keep Originals" selected. And as expected, I have all my photos from my previous iPhone on the new phone.
But I noticed that all my old photos "forgot" the crops and other edits that I did. I have hundreds of photos that I carefully cropped and edited over the years and this is very annoying. The interesting thing is that when I look at the thumbnail of the photo, it still shows my old crops and edits, but when I tap it to open it, it shows the entire uncropped, unedited photo. It seems that my crop and editing info is still there somewhere, but it doesn't show when I open the photo.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? Am I missing something?

Hi sueb21,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta there are some differences from what you may be use to. Please read over the attached article for information on how your pictures are now organized and for how you can turn it off if you choose to do so.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
What happened to the My Photo Stream and Camera Roll albums?
The Camera Roll and My Photo Stream album are replaced with an All Photos album, which gives you the same compact scroll view, now with all your photos and videos organized by the date they were added. Learn more about finding photos in iOS 8.
After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals. See how to upload originals below.
Have a great day,
Joe

Photos get auto-cropped and ken burns. stop it.

Trying to do a stop motion. don't need the photos to movie. Cant get imovie to stop auto cropping and ken burns-ing the photos on import from iphoto. Would be fine, but i can't bulk adjust them either, tired of going through frame by frame and putting it back to fit. help.

When you start a new project, or to change a project you are currently working on, go to FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES, and you can change the default behaviour for initial photo placement from Ken Burns to either FIT or CROP. Crop will make the photo fit the frame exactly by cropping off the top abd bottom. FIT will make the entire photo fit by letterboxing.
If you make your photos have the same aspect ratio as your project (either 16:9 or 4:3), then FIT and CROP produce the same result, and nothing is lost from the photo.
The FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES will only change photos that you add going forward.
To change a bunch of photos that are already there, change one photo using the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. Then, with the photo still selected, EDIT/COPY.
Now, select all the photos you want to change by holding down the Command Key as you click, so you can select multiple photos.
Now, click EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS.../CROP ADJUSTMENTS.

Updated to mavericks and old photobooth photos were resized/cropped? how do i recover the original photo?

i launched photobooth for the first time after upgrading from snow leopard to mavericks (ugh, hate mavericks) and noticed it "updated" all my photobooth files by resizing them. now they're all funky looking and cropped. does anyone else have this problem? how do i recover the original uncropped photos?

Select the photo in iPhoto and use the command "File > Export" and set the "Kind" in the Export panel to "Original". That will write a copy of the original to a folder you can access in the Finder.
The command "File > Reveal in Finder" will show you the original inside the iPhoto Library, but you must not access the files this way. If you access them from other apps using the Finder, you will corrupt your library.
See Terence Devlin's user Tips:
iPhoto and File Management
How to Access Files in iPhoto
To what purpose do you need to find the files? Is there a problem and iPhoto giving an error message about missing originals?
