Image size for import?

Does iBook Author resize images you drag and drop? Or should I resize before?
Thanks.

Hallo,
I had the same question, so I just made some experiments.
What I found out is, if you are exporting your book as a ibook file (extension .ibooks), iBooks author will automatically compress your jpgs to a much smaller size, I suppose about 1024 x 768, even if the jpgs I included have been about 4800x3200, 9,2MB original size.
I checked this with another file where I used the same but small jpgs (1024x768). Both .ibooks file had the same size.
If you save your book with "save as" or "save" as an .iba file, the jpgs stay in their original size.
So the book using full size jpgs came out for example with 80 MB, the one with the small jpegs with 3.2 MB.
This means iBook author is resizing your images when you export to an *.ibook file, and keeps the size of the jpgs when you just save.

How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
"Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
right size for a thumbnail.
If you do a search for the image name, both the
actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
the same image, e.g. abc.jpg

Recommended Image Size for Contact Pictures?

Hi All,
I want to edit up some family members to attach thier images to my iPhone contacts... Does anyone know what the preferred resolution size is for the iPhone for optimal appearance?
I've tried to do this with outlook before, and I hate the way it dithers the images to a low quality.... I'm hoping that the iPhone doesn't do this and so I wanted to experiment with how they would appear...
But instead of making the images just any random size, I wanted to crop them to the preferred image/pixel size so that my photoshopped images look like what I expect them to show up like...
If you could advise with the documented or known pixel resolution size used by the iPhone it would be appreciated!

Thanks, but I don't believe that the contacts come up full screen do they?
Usually there is a optimal image size for certain things like contact photos and I am just trying to help ensure that all my photos are the same size and don't vary...
I might be a little carried away with how I am formatting them, but just hoping someone already knows this answer!

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,

Photo image size for letterpress card

I'm trying to create a simple card in iPhoto 11 and am having some difficulties.
The various card themes have several layout options. Each option requires a certain size image (or sizes - some layouts are for more than one image).
How am I supposed to know what size of image will fit in each "layout box"?
Am I supposed to just play with the size of the image by resizing a JPG until it fits? Too time consuming - I've tried and I just can't get it to fit. Obviously I missing something simple if this is to be an "easy way to quickly make a card". I cannot find the required image size for the various layouts anywhere, so I'm clearly missing something.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1035 tells me recommended resolutions, but they are too big to fit into a card.
NOTE: I'm not talking about cropping an image or resizing it, which I can do.
I just need to know the size these card layouts require! Where is this information located, or what am I doing wrong?
Am I confusing DPI and pixels and resolution and ....?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Kurt

I'm not clear on whatyou are not clear on
You simply drag photos to the enpty photo frames in the template - there are move and pan controls if you want to change the position of the photo - you can reight click on a photo and select "fit to frame" in most themse if the photo ratios do not match teh frame ratios and yo are losing parts of the photo
the only "resolution" concern you have is that the photos are at least 180 DPI and if they are not you will get a warning
"Note: A yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point in the center may appear if the resolution is too low (below 180 DPI)."
The article you referenced gives Minimum pixel sizes for various uses - if your photo are that size or larger you are fine
The pixel size is shown in teh info window for a photo

Calculating image sizes for ibookstore submission

I have the new ipad...so all my graphics look great, but I am having a hard time finding the exact method for determining image size for a book I am submitting to ibookstore. Can anyone point me to a way to calculate the best and largest images for ibooks

For all those who are still confused by Apples image restrictions / requirements...
In the new Template chooser after the recent updates is "Antique". This template has a Chapter background image ( the olde world print of sailing ships in blue litho print style ). This print when opened in PS is 2771 x 1506 @72ppi. 2771x1506=4,173,126 pixels.This implies Apple supply a book which does not comply with its own requirements!
Higher image resolution applied to printed photo inmages, make the image sharper. If for example you wanted to print a wall poster 45inches wide, the image needs needs a higher resolution to cater for the size, BUT the same image used for a 45" poster will print 4.5" wide print on your own printer!
iBA full page is deemed to be 1024 x 748. resolution from Apple is 72ppi. An image with those specifications will be OK in iPad & iPad 2 - but not so sharp on a Retina display especially if zoomed larger on screen
Now it seems 2048 x 1496 - double the original image size is suggested for Retina.
You can change an image in PS i.e. 1024 x 748 and change resolution to 144. PS will double the pixel size as you change the resolution. OK, just change pixel sizes back to 1024 x 748 and reolution is now 144.
That indicates a sharper image which will be suitable for retina display and in fact all current iPad models.
Today my 11th photo book was notified as available in the iBook Store, all my images were pre-formatted at 2048 x 1496 @ 150ppi. ( 2048 x 1496 = 3.063,808 pixels!)
During delivery there were no issues flagged and after delivery no tickets.
So I suggest all those folk pondering images sizes follow my example, which is now proved to be accepatble!
One thing puzzles me though, I dont use all images as full page and they can be masked down to - say - 250 x 200. Should just make an image to fit the size I want to display ??

What image size for full page photo?

What image size is required to be able to create a single full page photo in an iPhoto book?
I shoot in RAW and use Lightroom for most of my photography. However, for family pictures, I'd like to create an iPhoto book. I exported from Lightroom as 100% quality jPEGs / at 320 dpi / small side 2000 pixels -- but I still get a triangle warning that this is not big enough for a single photo page. What dimensions/resolution is required to put one photo on a page?
By the way, would you recommend jPEG? I tried TIFF and while those file sizes much larger, I still get warning triangle?
Finally, when I re-import to the new size that someone hopefully will recommend, how do I delete my old (too small) images in iPhoto?

AEPC
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
In iPhoto '08 & '09 the warning comes on if a photo is below 180 dpi - so for 8.5 x 11 you need a minimum photo size of 1530 x 1980 pixels - and remember is you zoom or crop the photo in the book the area you actually printing must be that - not the original sized photo
The format of the photo (TIFF or JPEG) makes no difference in the warning symbol only the pixel size

Reduce size for import

Greetings. I'm trying to make a postcard or otherwise half-page document with a photo from my library. When I attach/import the photo, it attaches very large and can't be used. I've tried cropping - but the photo imports so large that cropping is clumsy and doesn't seem to be the right tool. I'm simply trying to reduce the image size - make a thumbnail, if possible. Thank you!!

Hi EmmieLou,
You need to reduce the resolution of the image down to 72dpi. The best program for image manipulation is Adobe Photoshop, but its rather expensive. You could also try Photoshop elements which is superb value for money. The most eceonomical route is to give GraphicConverter a go. The basic version is downloadable and if you want to upgrade to the Pro version its not too much as it is Shareware. Here's a link where you can download it:

Good luck.

Image size for ibooks author

Hi
I am making a book using iBooks author. It will be image heavy. (40-50 images)
I have a few question on images.
1. I do not want the file to be huge or take an age to download so an Apple rep informed me that the images should ideally be no more than 500-600kb per image saved at 72dpi
Forgve my ignorance but can someone eplain to me what this means in terms of pixels? What size (height and width) and resolution (pixels per inch) should I save images so that they can be seen at their best but not be overly large?
The finder window when I try to resize images gives me some standard options. Should I take these? Also if I click on 1024 x 768 pixels as a standard size, the width and height boxes do not change.
I'm a little confused.
Many thanks

This thread is over 12 months old now...perhaps you posted here by mistake. Your problems have slready had rep,ies in another thread, however to answer your question..
No, iBA does not seem to change image size....which is why you see posts about tickets for images size in books held back by the review team.
Consider that Apple gave you free use of iBA. Pages, inDesign and others come at a cost.
If you intend to create other books with a high photo image content, you really need to consider investing in suitable software.
I suggest you search the net for "photo image editors" or similar, dont wait for iBA updates..I doubt Apple will address image sizing and "cropping" can effectively be done using the image mask.
As in all projects be it eBooks, making kitchen tables or building a tree house...its sensible to gather all your assets and ensure they are suitable for the planned use....before starting the construction process.

Image size for playbook wallpaper

What is the image size supposed to be for the wallpapers on the playbook?
I have been tinkering with wallpapers, and read where the image needs to be 1024x600. I have tried files of this size and the playbook cuts off the edges.
I have ended up creating images that are originally 1024x600 and then just expanding the canvas to 1300x1300 to get the image to look correctly. And these only work in landscape. It is a whole different ball game in portrait,
I was able to get 1 image to work both landscape and potrait, but that was a simple circular logo originally scaled to 1024x600, then the canvas opened to 1250x1250. That one worked descently.
Also, an idea for RIM, allow different wallpapers in landscape and potrait. This way we can have an image that sits like we want it so we can see what we want. Just an idea. Thank you.

Lightroom 1.4.1: Reducing File/Image Size for Web/E-Mail

This should be a simple thing.
I need to reduce my file size to upload it into various things on the web and e-mail and what not. Sometimes it asks for a specific size.
Right now, I'm using the Export function to do this, which means I have to reset the Image Settings each time in order to get to the size required.
Isn't there and easier way to do this, like just type in the image size you want and have the program reset the image proportionately?
Is there a ratio chart for this, like 1000 x 1400 = # of bytes?
This is a function used all the time--I can't believe it's this cumbersome.

I just can't believe that reducing the MP size to get it in shape for an e-mail "thumbprint" photo is this tough. Even with the 'preset', I'd have to set up a preset for every picture because they vary by MP and the scaling seems to change.
There is no "standard" size for sending images via email. Just make it small. There is a save for email preset in recent releases of Lr. You can download the demo and see what that entails.
You don't have to create a preset for each picture. I don't know what you would say that. Yes, the amount it compress varies with the information in the image, but this has always been the case with JPEGs. You don't have to make an image that is exactly some size. You just have to make it small enough for most MTAs and MUAs to handle. Since there is no real standard for this, just make it small enough for you.
Something like 800px on the longest side, 70-80% quality should do it to find the JPEG compression sweet-spot.

Optimum Image Sizes for iWeb 08?

I'm trying to find an optimum size for images for an online portfolio. . I have the photos in their native resolution, and I'm wondering what size should I downsize them to for the slideshow view. . . any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

It really depends on how many photos you want to load and what quality you need.
You have to trade of these against the download speed of your webpage.
The iWeb Photos or Albums pages are not the best way to present your work.

Still image size when importing to Premiere Pro CS3

I was wondering if someone could help me. I do a lot of Still Image Slide shows with music and all that jazz and I used to use Premiere 6.5. When I would import the still images I could just lock the aspect ratio and it would automatically size the picture to fit the screen. I recently upgraded to CS3 and when I try to import a photo it imports it at actual image size so if the pic to too big it just looks zoomed in. I'm wonder if there is a setting in I can adjust so it autosizes the pic like it did in version 6.5? It may sound lazy but I do these with a lot of picture and I don't have time to adjust the size of each photo in Photoshop prior to import.
I have figured out a temporary workaround where I import the files into 6.5 and then open the existing project in CS3 but my new computer runs Vista and it's not allowing me to install 6.5 on it. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I copied this from the help.
