IWeb Image Size

Hello Apple Friends,
What's the easiest way to get iWeb images down to a reasonable size? The PNGs are just too big as they're created automatically. Is there a setting I can adjust somewhere? I hope I don't have to go in and manually shrink each image file with Photoshop of something.
Thanks for your help,
Steve

Well for your already published images, you might want to take a look at PNG Crusher: http://www.amake.us/software/pngcrusher/
You are supposed to use this directly on your published files, so just be aware of that.
Going forward with your new pages and what not, the best thing to do would be to minimize the opportunities for iWeb to convert your jpg images to png. You do this by avoiding resizing the image inside iWeb (either smaller or bigger) and avoiding the special effects like drop shadows, rotation, reflections, frames, etc. At the very least, use iPhoto to size your photos down from their original full resolution size. Know that standard iWeb pages are only 700px wide, so that is as big as you need. For slideshows, iWeb would size everything to 800x600, so keep that in mind.

  • Trying to upload from iPhoto to iWeb maintaining original image size

    I've used Ofoto (now Kodak Gallery) for years and the images I upload are the image size and quality that appears. (Even though it's in thumbnail view.)
    Now when I upload iWeb seems to reduce that size of my image dramatically.
    I did load one photo at original size, but it was huge. When I used Ofoto the thumbnails were all small, but you could get a poster size print because the ultimate quality was there.
    I'm wanting to do this so friends who wish to make enlargements after downloading images have a good quality and size to begin with.
    Thank you for any insights...
    Regards,
    Tim B.

    Make sure that "Optimize Images on Import" is unchecked in iWeb preferences.

  • IE incompatible ? Image size.

    Hi,
    I know very little about HTML, CSS and the like but as a photographer I upload gallery webs all the time for clients etc. I generate these in PS CS2 or iView MediaPro and then upload to my server (shared web hosting).
    With a current project requiring a 'site' type environment I decided to try iWeb. Before visiting this site please note that due to image sizes with iWeb it's a bit on the heavy side and if you're using IE on a PC BEWARE of crashes! Safari may even crash as has done with me.

    Remarks and problems :
    1. As you can see my site does not resemble any iWeb template - using the 'modern' template I basically threw everything away and designed from scratch. It's a great WYSIWYG appli in that sense - no code - just drag and drop, resize, add some effects etc. I published regulary to a folder as a way of double checking but was impressed with the 100% WYSIWYG capability of iWeb
    2. Image size is a MAJOR problem. My concerns are specifically with the gallery pages generated from the photo page temps. Thumbnails at 16ko is too big and the motor that generates the large image files uses a single parameter (800pixels largest dimension) that cannot be changed in any pref settings etc. It also uses a compression factor which is a tad too high. Using Image Ready or the PS gallery web function (driven by Image Ready) I can get as good visual quality for my web-optimised JPEGS for 65% of the file size.
    Note : I tried this file swap as a test
    I changed one image in the folder for the "activités" page (activities_008) - I made a smaller thumbnail in ImageReady and created a 600pixel version of the large file; I replaced the images in the folder with these and checked the site. The thumb appears no problem in a smaller size (btw 6ko vs 16ko - that's a big diff when you apply it to 250 images !). SlideshowJS however has instructions to open the image at main size as determined by the slideshow index file creation generated by iWeb. And that's written as 800pixels. So on opening the 600 pixel image I'd replaced, slideshowJS opened it to 800pixels (not pretty). The only way to rectify that was to go into the source code in the relevant 'activités' js file, find the codeline for the image 008 and change the values manually. And I'd have to do that with 250 line of code ! That rather defeats the prupose of having a nice easy application to produce your galleries.
    3. Upload to my server via Transmit was trouble-free. No problems publishing to a non .mac server.
    4. Problem with the page titles. The names you give to pages determines the URL. Any spaces means you get the %20 thing and if, like me, you're writing in French the accents mean that iWeb has to get around the problem in a different, and not very practical, way. iWeb creates a random character line as a name, and uses that as the URL for pages where accents appear in the title. When the assets and index page are published those long character names appear on the index file and folder.
    I also think that may lead to compatability issues with certain servers.
    5. But here's the BIG PROBLEM !
    I had 4 people with PC's and IE (God bless 'em) check out the site. 2 reported repeated crashes of IE (unexpectedly quit exe. error). No problems with the homepage - just when clicking on some of the photo pages. What is really strange is that neither had problems when accessing the 'La Soirée' page, but both had problems with all the others. Apparently the crash came after IE tried to load the page, succeeded in loading a few thumbnails and then stopped and crashed 5-10secs later.
    6. EVEN WORSE !
    I have gone back to my site several times, emptying Safari cache each time, and have succeded in stalling definitively Safari's attempts to load certain pages. Just stops with partial page upload. I then have to quit Safari and re-open to be able to access any web page (even other sites). Sometimes it's OK, sometimes not.
    This site goes officially live on wednesday morning but for now it's a no-goer. Just too erratic and not IE compatible.
    PLEASE, any suggestions ?
    Many thanks in advance

    Yes, it is best to avoid spaces and accents and special characters if you can. If you must have them in your navigation links, then don't use the iWeb nav bar. Instead give your pages very short simple names with the Inspector, uncheck the box for "include in nav bar," and just create ordinary hyperlinks for page navigation. I don't know if this will help with IE compatibility, but it can't hurt.

  • UIImageJPEGRepresentation increases image size

    HI , Am picking images from device photolibrary , and compress them using UIImageJpegCompression , but some images are doubled in size then the original image , say the original image is 5mb , then the compressed image size increases to 15mb , why so??
    NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imgFromPhotoLibOrCamera, .95);
    increases image size?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Yes. I don't optimize before importing and have iWeb's option turned off. I have a tutorial on using Web Site Maestro: Old Toad's Tutorial #12 - Using Web Site Maestro to Publish to MobileMe.. It's a little dated but can help you a little. The WSM help file is very good.
    You need to create a folder on your HD to publish to, I have one called WSM Input. In that folder put another folder for your site but don't have it the same name. Call it "Folder for Site_Name". Publish to that and never delete any of the files that get created in the "Folder for Site_Name". If you do than all edits and publish site changes will result in all pages getting published and WSM will not be able to optimize and upload just the changed pages. It will have to upload the entire site and you definitely want to avoid that.
    WSM does a very good job, IMO, of uploading to the server. I use MobileMe and it uploads much faster than I could upload using the Finder but that shouldn't be any surprise. The Finder is the best uploading client for an iDisk.

  • Image size makes for slow viewing

    Does iweb reduce the photos inserted from iphoto? Even though I have a broadband connection, when visiting my own site, the page with the thumbnails loads very slowly.
    Do I need to resize them first in a separate album in iphoto?
    I wish there was an option to set the image size, like you do when exporting from iphoto to email, or web, etc.
    thanks.

    This issue has been widely discussed in this forum. iWeb uses the PNG format for all but a few images. PNG is an uncompressed format, so that an image that would be, say, 30 KB as a JPEG can be 150 KB or more as a PNG. This is a huge problem and has caused my wife and I to totally drop iWeb because most people viewing our family web site have only dialup connections (rural area). I've read that 60% of the US are still on dialup, though others on this forum have disputed that figure, saying it is more like 40%. Even so, do you REALLY want 40% of your site visitors hitting the back button because it takes too long for your page to load. A simple home page that we created took 5 - 8 minutes to load on dialup.

  • Image size and placement problems

    I recently posted my website with iWeb. It shows up well on some computers, but on some computers the image is too large to fit on the screen and (bizarrely) the image sometimes starts halfway down the screen. This seems to happen without regard to browswers -- I have had problems on Firefox, Safari, and Explorer, but have also had it show up fine on all three of those browsers (on different computers).
    I checked that the padding around the image is zero. What else could I change? I understand that the image could appear as a different size on different computers, but I don't understand why the image should show up halfway down the screen on some and on the top (as it should be) on other computers. Thanks!

    The image apparently was added it to the page since it can be clicked on and dragged to the desktop. The image size is 1200 pixels wide by 600 high. You can trim off either side of that image to make is narrower so it will not force the page so wide. If you set the browser's background to the color of the the photo's background, the page background to none and make that photo narrower that will make it fit better.
    Since Apple suggests that a page be 980 for iPhone compatibility trim 110 pixels off the left and right edges of the photo and make sure the photo is placed at the top of the page (remove the navbar and set the header to zero in the Inspector/Page/Layout jpane).

  • New Image Size and Resolution in CC

    Hi there.
    Ok, maybe i'm missing something, but how do i reduce the ppi's of a given image in the Photoshop CC? Changing it in the image size, in the Resolution field, it acomplish nothing. It logs an entry in the History panel, but nothing changes in the picture. Did Adobe changed how this works, or it's just a bug?
    Thank you.

    Try setting to real-world measurement, like inches or cm.
    Hi Charles, i think that change in cm/mm/in it's the only way to change the image ppi (in my case save/resample it to 108ppi). Can you confirm that this is correct?
    Anyway when i go to image size (new panel of CC) the w/h are:
    1) grey and always set in pixel with resample flagged.
    2) always set in inches with resample NON-flagged (also if my ruler unit is in Pixel).
    (and actually that is not new behavior. CS6 behaved same way when width and height were set to percent)
    In CS6 and CC i never seen w/h in percent  - where is my error?
    Many thanks!

  • Save Image size setting in Save for Web

    I'm using Save for Web (CS3) and scaling the file to different sizes with "scale image". I'm wanting to use the same scale settings for many images but when I save the pre-set the image size settings don't get saved. I'm wanting to use it as part of an action but the setting wont stick. Any suggestions? Alternative work flows?

    That's never been saved as part of the S4W presets. Bloody annoying.

  • How do I set the image size in PS touch to print to my Epson printer w ithout losing any of the picture. PS Touch appears to be showing pixels and not inches, how can I covert it toshow inches?

    I am using PS Touch from my tablet . I am importinga photo from an SD card . When all editing is completed I then send it wireless from the tablet  via Epson I print to the printer. It all works great except that part of the photo at each end is cut off and does not print. I am printing on 8.5 x11 paper.
    How do I convert the image size in PSTouch frm pixels to inches?

    Epson's iPrint has always been an oddball. It will always "zoom in" on an image to print even if you have the proper dimensions and resolution set for actual print size. I think other users have reported this, at least on Android.
    You can't have PS Touch show inches instead of pixels at this time but you can use an online website to find out what you need to fit within a particular resolution. (Google "pixels to inches calculator".)

  • Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page   lines?

    With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

    A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
    1
    check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
    2 
    in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
    then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

  • How can you find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas

    This is probably a really really simple question but I can't for the life of me find how I can find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas. eg I have 3 photos i want to arrange 1 large and the other two next to it half the size. How can I edit individual image size on the canvas as when I select the image on a sperate layer I want to resize it just resizes the entire canvas and not the individual image
    Thanks

    I want to know they exact dimensions though. You can get them by dragging to the 0,0 corner and then reading off of the ruler scale on the sides but its fiddily as you have to zoom right in and work it out. I know in photoshop there is a ruler but is there any other way in Elements?

  • How to set image size in a table view

    Hi,
    I've just built a small VC application showing some process chain logs in a table view. For the different status types Error, Warning and Success I show the well-known traffic light icons. But up to now I haven't found out how to set the image size in a table view (height & width field is greyed out for the table). Any ideas? Or is it just not possible?
    Thanks for your help,
    Heiko

    Hello Heiko,
    I don't know, if it is possible, but I would say,
    it's not implemented yet. Maybe you can change the picture size and use then the pictures, that might be a workaround, if you can't change the height and width in VC.
    Best Regards,
    Marcel

  • I'm trying to get the image to print correct size.  i've tried center image, fit to media image,  and they all come out the same size...smaller than the size in "image size".  is this an Epson problem or Photoshop problem.  Thanks!

    I just got a new printer...Epson R3000...but have had this problem before.  It's probably a simple fix, but I can't figure it out.  I'm asking for printing on 8.5 x 11 and the image comes out 6.5 x 9.5 every time.  Help please!  And thanks!

    The Epson site stated that the R3000 printer can print borderless however the quality will suffer in the expanded print area. Borderless is not supported on some heavy paper.  To me the means your better off limiting you images size to the standard print area. There will be magins about 1/8" on the four  sides so the print area on 8.5"x11" paper is 8.26" x 10.76"....
    Take note of the print size set by the epson driver it may change depending on the paper type set. Note my first epson 4800 setup where I set 8.5" x 11" sheet paper from tray into the printer setting the driver set a smaller size for the paper which was reflected into the Photoshop Print preview. It shows paper is 8.499" x 10.999 with a small unprintable area across the top....
    Paper
    Use paper under normal conditions:
    Temperature: 59 to 77 °F (15 to 25 °C)
    Humidity: 40 to 60% RH
    Note:
    Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot guarantee the quality of any non-Epson brand or type of paper. Always test a sample of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.

  • Why jpeg file exported from Aperture with 300 dpi's it opens with 72 dpi's on PS ( image size)? I've tried several combinations and all give different results. And I am confused on what is the best workflow for me.

    Ok.
    My workflow is
    RAW > Aperture Library > export jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > one file on PS > edit > Save us jpeg. The I realised that files from PS were being save in a smaller size from the ones exported form Aperture. That is when I went o see <image size> on PS and files were with 72.
    Since ten I've trying different things
    1. Aperture > export as PSD > open on PS > edit > Save us jpeg = small file (around 15 MB)
    2. Aperture > export as jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > open on PS > CHANGE dpi's to 300 on <image size> edit > Save us jpeg = big file (Huge, actually)
    What am I doing wrong? Would someone give me guidance and tell me what is the best workflow, considering I edit photos to deliver to my clients and I shall give them 300 dpi's.
    Thank you
