Iphoto resize images

I am new to iphoto and need to constantly resize images for internet use. How do I change the resolution or pixels??????? or what ever Mac might call it.
thank you SO much
Eleanor

Personally I have never liked iPhoto for doing anything with an image. GraphicConverter for the Mac is a VERY extensive graphics application that can do about anything you care to do to an image. It is not the same type of program as Photo Shop but you can check it out for a free trial.
Back to iPhoto, you can go to Share in the menu and email the photo to yourself at one of 3 sizes. This changes the resolution. And yes, Macintosh uses words like pixel and resolution just the same as everyone else.

IPhoto resized images automatically

We just noticed that some older folders "events" in iPhoto '11 (9.2.3) were resized to smaller versions unknowingly! I've scoured the hard drive to see if the original image exists, but cannot locate the higher resolution original. There are multiple folders within the Pictures > iPhoto library, including "Modified", "Originals", and "Masters" - but the same version of the image (low res) exists in all theree folders.
Please help! Are the original high res images lost?

Any luck in solving this. I had the same issue.

Does iPhoto alter images when importing from camera ?(+ tip for slideshow)

I came across the following article:
http://www.andrewburke.orconhosting.net.nz/mac/builtin.htm#photo
The claim here is that during import iPhoto alters images in some way. The iPhoto experts, Terence OldToad, LarryHN and others, could you please comment, what's your opinions on this ?
Resize Images for iPhoto Slideshows
If you are running a slideshow in either Preview or iPhoto, you want the image being shown to be exactly sized to your screen. Images from almost all modern cameras are much larger in pixel dimensions than your Mac's display, so they will be interpolated down to fit. When they are resized on the fly through interpolation they never look as crisp or pristine.
When I import images from my Nikon to the Mac, I keep them outside of iPhoto and at their original size, as an archive from which I might eventually produce some prints. From there I choose the best examples that I want to display onscreen and copy those out of the archive for processing. Each one of those favorites that I've chosen is then tweaked in an image editor (I use Gimp Shop) and the final step before sharpening is to resize it down to match the dimensions of my display.
My iMac is 1440 by 900, so if an image is narrower than that ratio I scale it so the height is exactly 900; if it's wider I scale it so the width is exactly 1440. After these tweaked and resized images are finished I import only those into iPhoto. Then when I run a slideshow they are displayed exactly at their original size (not stretched or shrunk to fit the screen) and the difference is stunning.

What he says is +"you want the image being shown to be exactly sized to your screen. Images from almost all modern cameras are much larger in pixel dimensions than your Mac's display, so they will be interpolated down to fit. When they are resized on the fly through interpolation they never look as crisp or pristine."+
The title of the piece is +"Resize Images for iPhoto Slideshows".+ He is talking about you resizing photos before you import so they will match the screen size during the display of a slide show on the screen - not iPhoto changing anything during the import of the photo but during the display of it - This is a bit like the cropping during printing questions - if you want to control exactly have is being shown (or printed) rather than use a generalized scheme to make photos fit a non native size then you much do the changes yourself
I'm sure that he is correct but since I use iPhoto as a photo library manager which lets me show quick and easy slideshows, I have no problem - *my original, unaltered photos are there in iPhoto* and available for use as I see fit - the degree of modification that takes place in the display of a slideshow has never even been noticeable to me - but then I do not see iPhoto as a single purpose slide show viewer - in fact that is a very minor feature for me

IPad Air not resizing images properly

Just picked up and iPad Air this morning. It's acting strangely. When I try to set a photo for wallpaper, it's not sizing it properly. I have even tried resizing images in a photo program, but that doesn't help. Anyone?

Resizing in iPhoto did not work.
See the link below for the correctly sized iPad wallpapers.
It looks like the image is cut down from the too and bottom.

Resizing Images for Websites

I am creating a website for a Family Farm. I was wondering if there is any good way to resize images using iPhoto for quicker loading times in websites. Most of the images I want to use are from a digital camera and are huge files.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As Dalya mentioned using the File->Export->File Export menu option will let you set the pixel dimension and quality level (amount of jpeg compression) to achieve small files for web use.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Which approach to use for resizing image

There are two ways of resizing images as I know:
1. image.getScaledInstance(width,height,hint);
Using hint like Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING gives somehwat satisfactory resizing.
2. static BufferedImage resize(GraphicsConfiguration gc, BufferedImage source, int w, int h, Object hintValue) {
BufferedImage result = gc.createCompatibleImage(w, h, source.getTransparency());
Graphics2D g2 = result.createGraphics();
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, hintValue);
double sx = (double) w / source.getWidth(), sy = (double) h / source.getHeight();
g2.drawRenderedImage(source, AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(sx, sy));
g2.dispose();
return result;
where the hint passed is RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR ;
Now which of the two method method should I use-using image.getScaledInstance() or using AffineTranform ? opr is there any other way which is faster but provides good result?
i am creating an image editor, so the GUI dialog will have oprtion to choose the algorithm. I want the method which provides better result yet faster.

Can anyone help me figure why there is a popping sound when I move from an iphoto still image to a new video clip? The sound has been removed from the video clips and there is another soundtrack underneath it all. Help?

My current project is like many I have created in the past. I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project. Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound. I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one. Any way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks so much for your help.

What audio output are you using? What mac and version iMovie

My iphone no longer shows up as a device in itunes, iphoto or image capature

My iphone 5 no longer shows up as a device in itunes, iphoto or image capture when I plug it into the USB port. The ports are working with other devices and the phone charges when it is plugged into the charger. All software is up to date on computer and phone.

Hi Why do you need to use a PC since iOS 7 you can download updates Apps everything Over wifi I have iPhone 5 s & 2 ipads in over a year I have never connected them to My Apple pc Try a wifi update If you have problems Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both Down until You see Apple Logo you will not last any data. Cheers Brian

My iMac will no longer import .jpg files. With either iPhoto or image capture

Can someone tell me why iPhoto and Image Capture say that .jpg is no longer a supported format. I've imported hundreds of photos from my camera before and now I can't. I noticed this after I had placed the SD card in my Panasonic Viera TV to view the photos. Is it possible that the TV screwed up the formating on the SD card? I'm still able to view them on the camera, but unable to import them.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem does not repeat itself in the test library then your current library is the culprit.
If that's the case try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Need help on quality of resized image!!

I am required to resize images to max 1240pixel (longest dimension) as a submission of work, though when work is viewed it will be at 30"x40". Can not figure out a way to do this where images don't become quite pixelated when viewed at larger size. Appreciate any suggestions.

Is there some software to verify if my graphics card is shotty?
Techtool Pro has some testing, the AHT tests VRAM, but game benchmarks and stressing will tell you the most.
Is re-seating the graphics card or memory worth trying?
Absolutely. Just don't reinstall the graphics card until you clean it thoroughly.
Cleaning the dust out of my machine?
YES. A dust filled graphics card heatsink will cause the GPU to cook, and cause problems thet you describe.
If I need a new graphics card, what are my options? Do I have to purchase it via Apple store? I would like to stick with an Nvidia card so am I stuck buying the same card I currently have or can I upgrade?
You don't have to buy from Apple, but using with OS X limits your choices to Mac compatible or flashable PC versions.
There is an awful lot of user input into this topic here:

I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated.

I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
thanks!

I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down?

Upload and Resize Image not inserting filename in database

I have a form that I created using the insert record form wizard. One of the fields is a file field and my form enctype is set to multipart/form-data. I then used the upload and resize image behavior and set the parameters. When testing the form the file uploads to the correct directory but no entry is made into the database for that particular field. The other fields are entered into the database just fine. If it helps, here is the code generated before the tag:
 
 <?php require_once('../../Connections/test.php'); ?>
 <?php // Load the common classes require_once('../../includes/common/KT_common.php'); // Load the tNG classes require_once('../../includes/tng/tNG.inc.php'); // Make a transaction dispatcher instance $tNGs = new tNG_dispatcher("../../"); // Make unified connection variable $conn_test = new KT_connection($test, $database_test); // Start trigger $formValidation = new tNG_FormValidation(); $tNGs->prepareValidation($formValidation); // End trigger //start Trigger_ImageUpload trigger //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand function Trigger_ImageUpload(&$tNG) { $uploadObj = new tNG_ImageUpload($tNG); $uploadObj->setFormFieldName("picture"); $uploadObj->setDbFieldName("picture"); $uploadObj->setFolder("../images/"); $uploadObj->setResize("true", 120, 0); $uploadObj->setMaxSize(1500); $uploadObj->setAllowedExtensions("gif, jpg, jpe, jpeg, png, bmp"); $uploadObj->setRename("auto"); return $uploadObj->Execute(); } //end Trigger_ImageUpload trigger // Make an insert transaction instance $ins_team = new tNG_insert($conn_test); $tNGs->addTransaction($ins_team); // Register triggers $ins_team->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Insert1"); $ins_team->registerTrigger("BEFORE", "Trigger_Default_FormValidation", 10, $formValidation); $ins_team->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "../team.php"); $ins_team->registerTrigger("AFTER", "Trigger_ImageUpload", 97); // Add columns $ins_team->setTable("team"); $ins_team->addColumn("id", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "POST", "id"); $ins_team->addColumn("sort", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "POST", "sort"); $ins_team->addColumn("name", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "name"); $ins_team->addColumn("title", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "title"); $ins_team->addColumn("description", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "description"); $ins_team->addColumn("picture", "FILE_TYPE", "FILES", "picture"); $ins_team->setPrimaryKey("id", "NUMERIC_TYPE"); // Execute all the registered transactions $tNGs->executeTransactions(); // Get the transaction recordset $rsteam = $tNGs->getRecordset("team"); $row_rsteam = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsteam); $totalRows_rsteam = mysql_num_rows($rsteam); ?>

If the reason is about memory, warning message should be happened when upload the image, because "show thumbnail" means resize at second time, how come you failed to resize the picture that system let it upload succeed at the first time by the same resize process?
upload procedure
a.jpg: 2722x1814, 1.2mb
upload condition: fixed width 330px, 1.5mb
"upload and resize" a.jpg -> file upload -> "resize engine" -> passed (but not work and no warning message)
"show thumbnail" a.jpg -> "resize engine" -> failed (not enough memory)
it doesn't make sense.
and you miss an important key point, I upload the same picture myself, and resize work, so I said it happened at random, and that's why I am so worried.

When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg.

HI,
When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. I seem to have tried and read so much but just can't figure it out. How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. Or do a have to use a different system? I have Adobe Bridge. Or can I upload directly into photoshop?
Also how do you install dmg's properly I am having problems installing them?
I have a Mac OS X 13 inch Version 10.6.7
Advice desperately needed
Thanks
Nlouis

Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
According to this excerpt:
To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
which is at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?

Resizing images published through flickr, but I don't want it to.

I set up a flickr connection with LR3, very cool. However it resized the image to 1024x768, though I have nothing set under 'resize'. Why is it doing that? Do I have to set it to resize everything to 9000 pix and not enlarge for it to keep the original size?

Setting the resolution to 9000 x 9000 wont make any difference. Or at least it did not for me.
It could be a limitation of Flickr (no Pro account). Perhaps it is different with a Pro account.size file is being uploaded if you dont resize on output but you wont see it if you dont have a Pro account.
In fact, from the Flickr site: Only smaller (resized) images accessible (though the originals are saved in case you upgrade later)
This would suggest that your original size file is being uploaded if you dont resize on output but you wont see it if you dont have a Pro account.
