Imported images appear too small in iphoto

Posted first in Leopard System forum. Assumed, can have something to do with import. (that's how I posted it there):
First wanted to post this in the iPhoto thread. But it has to have to do something with the import or permissions. Images of 164 KB are opening in my son's iPhoto (G4 iBook) big, filling the whole page. Same images put into the drop box and imported by direct connection to it to my G4 double processor 1.25 are opening in iPhoto just as small images, filling approx. half of the page. Tried to change personal permissions in the host and in the guest computer - nothing.
I was helped by advice to remove the user/Library/iPhoto preferences file. Removed, restarted, same problem. Was told to put the thread on iPhoto forum.
Thanks for your input

hi Bafomet
i'm not sure i have enough knowledge to help you but i do know that when you import images into iphoto it creates a thumbnail (incase you don't know), a thumbnail is a smaller lower quality image that is used for previewing the image i belive. Is the images you mentioned low quality? if so maybe these images are thumbnails
Not sure if i'm right but i hope it helps
Good luck

Why are my imported images appearing as mirror images

Why are my camera imported images appearing as mirror images in IPHOTO?

I guess you have things figured out but you do seem a bit confused - iPhoto and PhotoBooth are two totally different applications and iPhoto can not possibly import a mirrow image of a photo and PhotoBooth can not edit iPhoto photos

Viewable area appearing too small in Portal

Hi Experts,
We are facing a very strange problem. We are using EP 7.0 . The viewable area is appearing too small when we click on refresh. On repeated press of F5,it is showing very erratic behaviour .The area is expanding or shortening every time we press F5.
Any inputs on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

Iphoto Library confusion- removing duplicates - photo appears too small now

I have a massive mess in my Iphoto library so please excuse the confusion of this question but I can't simplify it any more
1) I had many duplicate photos so I recently started deleting duplicates manually through the Iphoto window.
2) I also have two photo libraries. I made a new library awhile back on the advice of this forum as I had Question Marks instead of pictures. I never removed the old library and now not sure what to do with it. Should I trash it?
3) After deleting duplicates and rebuilding thumbnail cache as it prompted me, now when I look at some of the photos they appear very small in the Iphoto viewer window and others appear fully. When I try to make them bigger in the Iphoto window they become fuzzy..
4) However, when I look at the actual files in the library in the Finder, I see I still have these photos in quadruplicate plus I have backups on other drives..
5)When I look at each copy of the same exact photo all of them appear in Preview as the same size as they do in the Iphoto library window. All except one - this one appears full screen...and very clear. The one that appears clear is actually visible in the finder menu where as the others all just have the jpeg icon...
6) How do I get my photos to appear as there full size in the iphoto library...Thank you....

Trouble importing images from Canon EOS to iPhoto

When I returned from my daughter's wedding with about 400 irreplacable photos I discovered that I could not import photos from my Canon EOS to iPhoto on my iMac. When I initially connect my camera to the computer the images display perfectly. However, when I click "import all" the downloaded images all appear completely blank (gray). I don't have any difficulty importing images from my iPhone.

I have had a similar experience with a few greyed out images I did not bother too much because it was not important at the time. I was wondering if you could save them into another format or file and then try importing them from there.

Photoshop CC: Have a template that I moved image into. Image is too small. How do I resize the image while in the template? Or must I go to original image file and resize there again and again until I get the right fit?

I have a template that I am able to plug different pictures into at different times. The problem is that when I plug an image into that template, I find that the image is either too big or too small. Is there a way to plug the image into the template and resize the image (and not the template itself) OR will I have to go to the file with the original image and resize it there and then try to plug it in to the template to see if it fits------and if it does not fit, go back to the original file with the image and resize it again and see if that fits---and so on and so on...........? I have tried the" image size" option but it's hit or miss------mostly miss!
Thanks!

Read up on Smart Objects. It looks like you have no idea as to how to create and use them.
Jut create a Smart Object from the layer containing whatever it image it is that you are "plugging into your template". But you do need to learn the application at its most basic levels.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. You cannot learn Photoshop in a forum, one question at a time.
Or is it possible that you don't even have Photoshop proper but the stripped-down Photoshop Elements?"
If the latter is the case, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you would want if you're working in Elements.:

If you do have Photoshop proper, please provide the exact version number of that application and of your OS.

Images printing too small using Lightroom

I have an image that is 316x x 2317 pixels that I am printing using Lightroom 2.3 on Windows XP SP2. I use the Picture Package and add one 4x6 image to the sheet. I am using the Maximize template from the browser. The photo borders are minimum. The image nearly fills the page in the Lightroom viewer just as I expect. The image appears the same in Print Preview. However on my Epson 3800 the image prints about 30% smaller and offset to one corner of the 4x6 sheet.
The problem also occurs when printing from Photoshop CS4.
I am not scaling or resizing in the print driver. I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer using the latest driver.
Please help!!
Michael

Oh my...
It seems that, embarrasingly I was tripple checking everything for 4x6 prints but actually had 5x7 loaded in the printer!
Thanks for helping the hopeless.

Exported images are too small

I shoot in raw and when I export images to photo labs the size is too small. Instead of mb, the size is reduces to kb. I have export set for tiff 16 bit. What am I doing wrong?

Can't say without more information.
What command are you using to export?
What Export Preset are you selecting?
What are the settings in your selected Export Preset?
Presets and settings are listed at "Aperture→Presets→Image Export ...".

Fireworks CS-4 Slideshow images are too small. How can I fix this?

I've used the Fireworks CS-4 slideshow, for the Portfolio page of my website, for awhile now. However, more recently, after I've added new images to my slideshow, and previewed the slideshow in my browser, all the images are showing up way too small in the viewing area (slightly larger than thumbnail size). This was not happening before. I am running Windows 7 Pro on a 64 bit machine. Originally, I was running Vista Home Premium. Have not "put" the updated slideshow until issue is resolved. What may be causing the smaller images? What can I do to fix the problem? I'm a wysiwyg designer; not a techy. Thanks.

Here is a screenshot of what is loading....
I can't even get add-ons or extensions.

Video Imports and Exports Too Small

I'm sure this is basic, but it only just started happening and I can't figure out the solution.
When I capture any video (HD or DV) it appears much smaller in the player window than it should. When I export, same thing.
The weird thing is, it worked fine for a long time, but then I started capturing video from my Flip Mino HD. Now, I'm back to capturing video off of my Canon XL2 (DV) and the video window is too small.
I cannot find any capture settings that set the dimmensions of the video. Can someone help?

I was looking at the capture settings and the export settings.
The shooting specs. will determine your Project/Sequence Preset. It might match one of the existing Presets, or need to be setup as Desktop (Custom), and all attributes need to match. Then, you will be Capturing the exact matched footage into a matched Sequence.
If you need to alter things on the output end, you can do that with your Export settings in AME, but to start, everything should match perfectly.
Good luck,
Hunt

Upoading files file images are too small to see on file upload screen

Upon wanting to send photos or files via email when i come to the file upload screen the images are very small and almost impossible to see.this is affecting both safari and firefox.how can i make the images larger so i can see what files i am actually uploading?

Hi,
I am not sure I was clear enough. (EDIT Some testing before finally posting this does show some strangeness)
I was suggesting that in the View Options bit you set the Size to what you want (Before using the Upload site) so that when (and If) you change the View in the Pop Up screen to Icon View the icons are big enough. (See note below though)
List and Column views do show very small Icons that cannot be changed in size, hence the need to use the Icon view and possibly a Naming convention that helps if the pics are very similar like the pic I posted (a whole series of iChat Preferences pics) or possibly deciding before Uploading and creating a sub folder of just the ones to be uploaded.
NOTE:- However I also checked if I set the Icon View in the Finder first to 128 X 128 and then used Google Mail to Add an Attachment the Pop up, view as it were, keeps to the size in the pic I posted.
I will also try Quitting Firefox just in case it is holding some old info.
I will also try Safari
EDIT 2
Tried Safari and the Icons are a default size it seems.
Zoom Only makes the selection (of Pics) window bigger/full screen, hiding the Browser (Alt Key and Zoom reduces it again).
Also tried setting the View Options at the Desktop Level (Have yet to use it as the Default)

Importing images edited in Photoshop into Iphoto

Hi,
I tend to use Photoshop elements and bridge as my initial repository for RAW format photos. I use Bridge and Elements to select photos for editing, and storing the edited .psd file.
I also create a jpeg copy of the finished file, which I import into iPhoto. However when I do that, iPhoto uses the date that the jpeg was created, rather than the original photo date to organise into events. Any ideas how to get it to use the original photo date, which must be in the EXIF data...
Thanks

Try importing the psd file into iPhoto and see if it will retain the EXIF date. That way you can use PSE from within iPHoto to make additional edits as follows:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
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 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 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS 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 main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
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 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..

Importing Images on Floppy Drive to iPhoto

I am new to this G4 and have alot of old images on floppy disks that I want to import into iPhoto. I have the floppy drive pluged into a hup that is plugged into the G4
How do I proceed with importing into iphoto and putting these images into folders?????

Bic Ford:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I suggest you copy each floppy disk of files to a folder on the desktop and then import that folder into iPhoto. If each floppy of photos can be identified for future identification change the name of the folder to a brief description of the contents. When you import that folder it will create a roll with the same title as the folder. Then delete the folder when the import is completed.
Do the same for each floppy you have.
Do you Twango?

Preview images are too small - can't be changed.

When I open some jpegs, I only see very tiny versions of the images in Preview. It's really disconcerting. I know that they are larger - I've downloaded them from the web, saved them on the desktop or in a folder, and then when I double click and open them, they view at far, far smaller than the pixel width and height.
Even when I select "Actual Size" in View, they remain just as small. And then when I click the + button to enlarge the image, it simply blows it up, pixellated.
It seems really crazy and buggy to me. I've never had this problem before, and I've been using mac for years. Any clues / fixes?

Look in you LabVIEW.ini for any font related lines.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .
