Images for albums

Hello,
I like having a cover for each song I have into my iPod touch... I'd like to know how big the images has to be to fit correctly the size of the screen... For example, when I had the iPod nano 4gigas, it took an image 100pxls x 100pxls to fit the screen... With the iPod Touch I tried with 300px x 300px and it's good enough, but maybe it takes something moe.... Could you please help me?
Thank you in advance
LC

Hi,
As a general rule I use 600x600 pixels, this keeps the file size sensible but still looks good when doing full size "cover flow" on the PC monitor.
Obviously the Touch's screen is only 320 pixels wide so if necessary make that your maximum if you only need the art on your Touch.
Regards,
Dud.

Multipe images for album art?

So, you can add multiple images to iTunes for each track. Like, the album cover and an image of the liner notes, or the back cover, or, something like that.
I don't seem to be able to see those secondary images while using my 5G iPod that I synced after adding the images.
Is it possible to see multiple images for album art? Is my iPod even getting those secondary images?
Thanks!

Actually in a way you can do this, although you won't see the multiple images all at the same time. For an album you can actually have a different image for each track on that album. So for example you could have the cover for the first track, the back cover for the second track and so on. All you need do is browse info for each track and drop each image into each track separately.

Export Settings for uploading images for albums

I can not upload my files to an online site to design a photo album. Apparently they are too large. Can someone send a screen print of how the export should be set to produce a quality 10 x 10 album and will upload in a reasonable time frame? Thanks so much!

I would have to guess, as I don't know your upload speeds wherever you are located. You also don't say what your need for quality is, or what use these photo albums will be put to. And if you are a professional photographer, I suppose the needs for quality are higher than for me (I am not a professional photographer).
So, my starting point in the Export dialog would be to set the Quality slider to 70. If the quality isn't good enough, try higher. If the upload speeds are too long, try lower.
Sorry, I can't give you a screen capture, as I am at work at the moment.

Multiple Images for albums

Very recently, I can no longer view the other images I've added to individual albums, in the album artwork viewer. The images are in the file info but not viewable with the 'Selected Images' tab (the next image 'arrow' has diappeared)

Hi, this is bothering me a lot as well, some time ago I had a thread about it:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17555584#17555584
and this one too:

Choose key photo for album

Dear Common Wisdom:
I have created a web site of photo galleries with an index page at http://www.byzantineaegina.org
How can I choose a key photo to represent each gallery on the first page?
Thanks!
CJ

you can set key image for albums page, as long as the image is one of the first of 50 images in the album (aka photos page) and you need to know how iweb widgets work.
have a look: http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/revolving/keyImageAlbums/keyImageAlbums.html
notice the displayed image is the 4th image in the album, not the first image.

If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper; in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

How to show one album art image for a compilation album in cover flow view?

I just finished getting album art for my entire music collection. Now I go to the Cover Flow view or the Album view and individual songs in compilation albums each have their own album art instead of being grouped together under the same album art. For instance I have a "Buddha Bar" Album with various artists. Instead of having one image for the album, each artist has his or her own image (all the same Buddha Bar album art). So a compilation CD with various artists ends up having 15 images instead of one image in the Album art or Cover Flow view which makes it harder to look through my albums. Does anybody know if it is possible to change this?

iTunes doesn't have the ability to do what you want, i.e. to define multiple separated values in a field and then have the item show up when looking at a selection based on each of those values. "Bob Dylan", "The Band" and "Bob Dylan & The Band" are three distinct values that can't be linked together. Sort values can change where in a list things are displayed but shouldn't be used to attempt to merge different values as results are undefined and unpredictable.

Setting a "master" image for an album in Coverflow?

Hello all,
Here's one I've been struggling with for some time.
I tend to master all the tracks and images that go into my iTunes myself, and whenever possible I'll try to have as many images from the album art as I can - at least one for each track from the album. The rub is that iTunes seems to randomly select one of these as the "master" image for Coverflow, and I can't tell it to do otherwise. Just now I was working with an album that's 8 tracks long, and I pasted the first image (which is the actual cover) in the box for the first track. The image dutifully appeared in Coverflow. Then, I pasted the second image in the box for track 2, and the Coverflow image was replaced. Pasted the image for track 3, and the Coverflow image stayed on track 2. It stayed on track 2 all the way to the 8th track. I then went back and re-pasted them in different orders, trying different iterations, and it always stubbornly stayed on the image for track2.
As I said, it does this randomly, and sometimes it defaults back to the first image after a while. Often it doesn't, and so I'm stuck with a random image from inside the CD booklet as the "cover" in iTunes.
So the question is simple: is there any way to set a "master" image for an album in iTunes, so that it will appear whenever the album is displayed rather than the image from a particular track?
Also, out of context, is there any way to export just a playlist and its associated information and artwork? Say I've copied a specific playlist's audio from one computer to another and I don't want to go through the tedium of re-entering all the album details and cover art. There seems to be no way to export all that so it can be re-associated with audio files on another system. Am I mistaken? How would I go about doing that?
Thanks much in advance.

If by "default value" you mean you want to automatically infer the value of an attribute (which appear to be what the custom function is doing) then you can just write a rule to do that.
e.g. to infer the value "0" for the attribute "the minimum tax rate", you use the rule:
the minimum tax rate = 0

Setting multiple album images for a group.

I want to put multiple images for CDs that I have (Front, back, inside of booklet, etc). Can I do this for an entire CD or do I need to do each song separately?

You can add multiple album artwork images to multiple tracks at the same time, but not through the Multiple Song Get Info pane. Each time you drag an image onto the Artwork box in this pane, the previous image is erased.
To add multiple images, select your tracks in the main iTunes Window, and make sure that Artwork box under the Source Menu is visible. Then just drag the image you want to add to the tracks onto this pane, but make sure you FIRST add the image you want to appear FIRST. There isn't any way to reorder the images in a group of tracks - that has to be done in the individual track's artwork pane (Get Info>>Artwork tab).

How do I get my iPhoto 4 images and albums into iPhoto5?

Thought for sure I would find a FAQ listing for this but can't find it anywhere. I copied all my albums and images from CD back up into iPhoto5. But when I log out and log in and open iPhoto5 none of my old images and albums are there. I do see imported libraries for 2002, 2003, 2004 but they are empty. Sorry if this question is redundant (which I'm sure it is) but since I can't find a FAQ file anywhere…
Also, I have a G5 iMac at home and a dual G5 at work. Any way to specify which is which in profile

Richard:
So you only have jpg files on those CDs, right? There are no other data files, album folder, etc. in there.
I copied all my albums and images from CD back up into iPhoto5.
By that do you mean you dragged them from the CDs into the open iPhoto window? If you dragged them into the iPhoto Library folder then that's the wrong way to do it. You must import the image files into iPhoto from outside the iPhoto Library folder. Along those lines here are two Apple KB documents that you should be aware of, particularly the second one:
iPhoto Library Description
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder
What happened to your original iPhoto 4 library folder? Do you still have it intact? If you do then you can place it in your Pictures folder, launch iPhoto 5 and it will find it and tell you it needs to convert the library to version 5. Once done you should have your library converted you'll have everything back up and running, including the albums, rolls, keywords, etc.

How to get larger images in albums?

I just realized that when you click on a thumbnail in one of my albums, the larger image is actually smaller than the original photo! All the photos I've put into my web albums have been shrunk to fit into the album display area. For instance, a photo that normally displays about 7 inches high when I view in Preview, comes out about 4.5 inches tall when displayed in my web album.
How can I get it to display photos at actual size?

I tried turning off "optimize images", but they still were showing up at the reduced size.
providing a url to your site so people could have a look at what's going on may help...
What I'd really like is a way to designated specific images to display at a larger size -- most don't need to be very large, but some do.
I think that's not possible in iWeb PhotoPages... As you choose one format for all. However to get larger images in albums click on a photo and a window will popup called "Photo grid". You can increase the size of the images displaying by reducing the spacing and/or decreasing the number of columns.

Albumart for albums with less than 5 songs?

So i REALLY would like to see the albumart on albums (for instance EP's, singles) with less than 5 songs. Is there any Terminal line to do this?

When iTunes does not pick up artwork or the wromg artwork I usually just google image the albume and copy artwork, 500 x 550 is perferred if you want to use jukebox or large image, don't bother with anything under 300 x 300 as it will be blury. Go back into iTunes highlite all the songs on the album, right click and paste into the album art square.

AppleScript Bug: Duplicating stacked images to albums

for anyone else using AppleScript, I encountered this bug a couple of nights ago. I've reported it to Apple.
14-Feb-2009 02:14 AM Gregory Charles Rivers:
Summary:
The Aperture/AppleScript "Duplicate" command when used to add stacked images to albums does not work as expected.
(1) when stacked images are successfully added to the target album, they are added as masters rather than simple album items.
(2) if the source project is not selected in the Inspector, stacked images will not be added to the target album.
(3) "Duplicate" is not a suitable command for adding objects to albums and confuses scriptors. an additional "Add" or "Assign" command should be created expressly for this purpose.
Steps to Reproduce:
* begin of steps to reproduce *
PROBLEM #1
1. [APERTURE] import 3 masters into a new project called "Gregory"
2. [SCRIPT] in a script editor, get the new project's ID:
id of every project whose name is "Gregory"
-> "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
3. [SCRIPT] get a list of the images in the new project:
every image version of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
-> a list of 3 objects
4. [APERTURE] create two albums within the project:
-> "Album 1" and "Album 2"
5. [APERTURE] stack the first two images.
6. [SCRIPT] add only the first image to "Album 1"
copy every image version of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA" to theImages
duplicate theImages's first item to album "Album 1" of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
-> the stack that image 1 is a member of, is added to the album, but it's not a normal 'linked' album item.
7. [APERTURE] delete the image from "Album 1" by selecting the image and pressing "Delete" on the keyboard.
-> a warning is sounded but nothing happens. with normal album images, they're simply removed from the album.
-> "Remove from album" is greyed out in the Images menu.
8. [APERTURE] select the first image of the stack within the album and press Command-Delete.
-> a dialog is presented confirming that the images inside the album are masters.
confirm.
-> the image is removed from the album, and from the project!
9. [APERTURE] select the remaining image and press Delete.
-> the image is removed from the album without affecting the master as would normally be expected.
(the work-around for removing 'masters' from the album is to unstack them after which they become 'normal' album items again.)
PROBLEM #2
10. [APERTURE] import the first master again, back into the same "Gregory" project.
-> we now have 3 masters in the project.
11. [APERTURE] stack the first two images.
12. [APERTURE] within project "Gregory", select "Album 2".
13. [SCRIPT] add all 3 images to "Album 1" (while "Album 2" is still selected within Aperture).
copy every image version of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA" to theImages
repeat with i in theImages
duplicate i to album "Album 1" of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
end repeat
-> only the unstacked image is added to the album.
14. [APERTURE] select the project "Gregory".
15. [SCRIPT] run the script again.
copy every image version of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA" to theImages
repeat with i in theImages
duplicate i to album "Album 1" of subfolder "nested" of project id "UkRHKvb/RfmZ8H+Jn/pxRA"
end repeat
-> all of the images are added to the album.
-> the stacked images are still 'masters' rather than simply album items.
PROBLEM #3
the "Duplicate" command should be used for adding images as links to objects such as albums. the use of the "Duplicate" term for this action leads to confusion. an additional "Add" or "Assign" command should be created for this specific purpose.
* end of steps to reproduce *
Expected Results:
whether stacked or not, images added to albums should be simple linked items, not masters, and which when deleted by pressing Delete simply disappear from the album without affecting the true masters.
Actual Results:
(1) stacked images added to albums are added as masters instead of linked items.
(2) stacked images cannot be added to albums if their containing projects are not selected in the Projects inspector.
(3) the use of the term "Duplicate" when applied to adding items to albums is confusing because the images aren't actually duplicated.
Regression:
Unstack all images before running any script that adds stacked images to albums.

I have noticed behavior with drag-and-drop working anomalously different for me than as reported by others. It has not yet been problematic, but definitely anomalous.
It sounds like the Aperture team should forget features improvements for a while and focus on stability.

Can I copy images from Album to Album

Can I "copy" images from Album to Album and then expect to be able to export that data into Keynote?
I put copy in quotes because I am such a new user I am not even sure at this point when I am copying or moving images as opposed to pointers.
But the bottom line is that I need to know if I can use the data in Albums that I see images in for a presentation.
Thanks.

Aperture 3 does have a few things that work in different ways than Ap2, but dragging images to albums is the same. Cut/copy has never been a feature. It works in a different way. Allan
