Increase size of thumbnails in Import screen

Hi All,
When I import files from disk to import into iPhoto, the thumbnails are too small to distinguish what the photo is. The slider on the lower right hand side of the screen, is not part of the import window, so it does not affect the thumbnails in the import screen.
Would someone be able to tell me the magi sequence to get these larger so I can determine whether to import the picture or not?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve: I see the issue you are referring to. What type of disk are you importing from? CD? If so, this might work. With the CD in the drive, open finder, navigate to the CD in question within finder. Select Icon view, then in the Menu bar, select View > Show View Options. From within this little window, change the icon size to something larger, IE: 150.
I notice you are using Leopard 10.5, so options may look a little different than mine.
If you are using some other type of disk, post back
Hope this helps
Stedman

Help Verify: Aperture 3 does not regenerate thumbnails at Import screen

Before I consider this to be a bug, can someone else help me verify that Aperture 3 will not regenerate thumbnails at the import screen? Basically, if you have the thumbnail slider middle-ish then slide toward larger thumbnails, Aperture just expands the existing thumbnail, resulting in pixellated thumbnails.
Surprising behavior, to say the least, especially since Lightroom has had this ability since 1.0 beta.

Sorry that was not helpful. I am using the trial version only and HELP states 'Aperture provides a few methods for reconstituting your Aperture library and the file relationships within it.'
To repair or rebuild your Aperture library : - following by empty white space.
Having looked through Aperture Commands under the Aperture Menu I cannot find any likely entry other than I have already mentioned.
Good luck.

Increase size of thumbnail images in camera roll

hi, is there a app available which will increase the size of the the thumbnail images while scrolling images in the camera roll, I want to see 6 or 8 images on the screen per view. The default is approx 30 images

I'm not aware of any app that would help but you might want to make the suggestion to Apple that they add an option for larger sizes in a future release: https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How to increase size of thumbnail in open dialog?

I saw this screenshot on a forum http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/aafe217759.jpg the thumbnail is HUGE! but on my computer, when i go into open, the thumbnail size is much smaller. http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4644/picture2rt1.png can someone help me and let me know how to increase the size of the thumbnail?

I found out that this was done with the help of a wacom bamboo and a key on the pen. I am trying to find out if the pen button was mapped to a modifier key, but I am not getting a response. maybe someone else can get somewhere with this hint.

Import screen cannot enlarge preview thumbnail from Canon G15 raw CR2 file

Lightroom 4.3 import screen does not seem to be able to enlarge for better viewing the preview thumbnail from a Canon G15 raw CR2 file?

HI,
I do not know the answer, but I would expect, that Lr only displays the embeded jpeg preview of your raw files. And I think, that the previews are small. You can use exiftool , exiftoolgui to see what's the dimension of your previews.

Increasing size of stills in Imovie

I brought stills into imovie but they appear the size of thumbnails, how do I resize to fit screen?

welcome landerdm to the  boards of discussions...
a few things for your future projects:
iM is a DV-editor.. imports lossless from miniDV devices, by using the same video codec 'dv' ...
1h dv = 13GB
stills in iM get converted into 'video' (='dv') ... so, no wonder, a tiny 50kB jpg gets a few MB when in use for 30secs in a video...
last word:
a videoDVD uses a different codec (mp2), ... the encoding takes place in iDVD, automatically.. for your convenience, you simply have to stay under 120 MINUTES (length matters, not size).. even a 60gig iM project (=lots of imports...), fits onto a 4.7 GB disk..
savvy?

How to increase size of fonts in Menu bar and in Safari toolbar?

How to increase size of fonts in Menu bar and in Safari toolbar? Munu bar and Safari toolbar fonts too small on a 24" iMac screen.
Thanks in advance !

If you want to change the size of the font of a TextEdit text document, you do it in the preferences. Alternatively, if you want control over the size of the fonts, make it a Rich Text document, and then you can change the font size. You can either use the Larger or Smaller options, or Show Fonts to choose a size. You can elect to have new documents be Rich Text in the preferences as well.

Imported Screen Shots are Blurry

Hello FCP users,
I am challenged and need some guidance. The projects that I create a little mini-movies/demos made up of mostly imported screen shots and some still photos -- never any video. My challenge is that I have a very clean screen shot to work with -- if I bring them up in Preview, Photoshop, etc. they look great. The second I import them into FCP they are blurry, degraded and next to unreadable. I seems like I've tried everything, but nothing seems to make a difference.
I am not the one taking the screen shots -- they are provided from a different source each time. Each person most likely uses a different product to grab those screen shots, but my guess is that they are probably using snag-it or a similar product. I usually ask them to provide the "best" quality they can. That can mean a ton of different sized screen shots come my way. The ones I'm working with now range in size -- 1,116x760, 1,284x1000, 1,026x813, 1,023x830 to name a few.
I have been on the boards and did try one recommendation that I saw to reduce the size of the image to the same frame size that you are working with (in my case 720x480). Of course, when I do this there is degradation before I even bring it into FCP.
So, I'm wondering, should I be asking people to create their screen shots at 720x480? I've been playing around in Parallels with Snag-it to see what options are available -- I don't see that they can choose to produce the screen shots at a certain size -- they can reduce them after they take it, but there's that degradation again. Maybe there is some recommended product that I can suggest? Everyone I work with to supply the screen shots would be a pc user.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I do these often, and my screen quality always looks poor. I'd like to come up with a solution and I'm sure a big part of that is instructing those who supply the screen shots to take them a certain way...perhaps with a certain product...only I don't know what that is.
Best practices anyone?
My settings are:
Frame Size: 720x480
Aspect Ratio: NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Thanks for your insights.

Pan & Scan: in this context, I was referring to the idea of panning across a screen shot instead of reducing it to the size of the video frame. In other words, the original is (e.g.) 2x the width or height and then, as you explain / narrate, it moves across the screen. This preserves the "local" resolution of the original, but doesn't give the viewer a single view of the whole screen. It can be used in conjunction with the "whole view" as a kind of CU shot.

Safari always loads small window size have to always increase size pressAA several times. How can I have it bigger by default ?

Safari always loads small window size It leaves a wide margin on both side of the window. I have to always increase size press AA several times. How can I have it bigger by default ?
Changing the font size does not work. Many Thanks

Hi Bee
This is not what I mean. I'm not a new user of computers. Even when the window fills the screen. There are wide boarders either side, have to press the AA serveral times to increase web page (in the tool bar top left) so that the web page fits the window.

Saving images with quality 12 increases size. Why?

A minutely modifyed image saved with quality of 10 maintained its original size (more or less), but saving with a quality of 12 increases size.
I would like to know why?
I'd appreciate your comments.

Because that's how .jpg works. Sizes of less than 10 usually compress your files somewhat, lower numbers resulting in smaller file sizes and more compression, with a corresponding loss of quality. Sizes greater than 10 also use the .jpg compression algorithm, but they choose less compression, and so two pixels that may have been compressed together at compression 10 may now be separated at compression 11 or 12, resulting in a larger file. (But that doesn't imply an increase in the quality, even at 12 there is still a slight decrease in quality in that the .jpg saved version still doesn't exactly represent what you saw on the screen)
The amount of modification to the photo doesn't really matter in how much the space the .jpg compression takes up.

Mini bridge in ID CS 6 - control for size of thumbnail, bottom of pane, missing

Mini bridge in ID CS 6 is of course essential.
Suddenly, the little control at the bottom of the Mini bridge pane, for control of thumbnail size, is missing. See screen shot of the control here, when we can get it by (laboriously) re-starting.
As soon as we do anything with the Mini bridge pane, the control disappears. Then we only see large-size thumbnails. (We are forced to go through a restart to get again, then it disappears again, then …) Which makes it more than difficult to find what we need, among the many.
We hope someone has previously solved this problem. Or that Adobe support knows the problem, and resolution.
Thanks in advance, David Allen

It is indeed possible. From the Layer Flyout Menu:
But thank you anyway...

No previews in import screen

Hi all,
I used other camera's than my trusty old Canon 30D for a while and I've upgraded to LR 2.6 in the meantime. Now, when I import RAW files from the 30D with the 'Import' button in the Library module, it only shows empty 'tiles' in the preview screen. With the correct files names but no thumbnails. When I actually import the files in the catalog, everything works OK.
This does not happen with RAW files from my Panny LX3. These files are shown as thumbnails in the Import screen.
Any ideas what's wrong? (or what I'm doing wrong). Very annoying!...
Cheers, Richard.

Hi Seán,
Tnx for your response. No it's a 30D from 2006. I have also changed the colorspace in the camera from Adobe RGB to sRGB to see if the '_MG' filenaming from the 30D with Adobe RGB had anything to do with it but it doesn't.
When I shoot JPG it works fine but somehow LR doesn't read previews from RAW (...CR2) files. Below a screenshot from the import screen. Two RAW files, one JPG. I have LR 2.6 (632038) CR 5.6.
OS is Win XP SP2 on a Thinkpad T61 laptop. Nothing exotic here imo...
Weird huh?...
Richard.

List View/Thumbnail View, Capture Screen?

The two buttons at the bottom of the import screen, list view/thumbnail view. I don't see them, I'm fully up to date with FCPX.
Anyone have this issue and maybe a fix?

Thanks again Russ, by the way, Go Sox! I was raised in Manchester NH.
Yes. So far so good.
I have to assume by Toms Posting that by camera he means connecting to a camera, and SD cards being read from a card reader don't count.
Hmm. Yes on the camera part, but don't think he was excluding card readers.
Selections should work with card readers, or camera archives, and – in some cases – a copy of the card.
Take care.
