IWeb photo size

Hello,
I am trying to insert a photo gallery onto an "About Me" page. What I've done so far is to copy a photo album from an Album template, and paste it into the About Me page, then drag and drop the photos into it. The problem with this is A: the photo gallery becomes larger than the page, and is therefore cut off (the page won't change it's size to accommodate for the item) and B: the size of the pictures in the Gallery field are too large to fit in the space I want them to. Is there any way to change to the size of the photos/photo gallery field? and how can I make the webpage adjust it's size to fit everything in?
Your help and advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

There are a lot of applications for resizing photos. I use ImageWell....

Turn off "Optimize images on import" in iWeb preferences.
Increase the page width in the Page inspector Layout window.
A good width for general viewing on the internet is 980 px.

Export iPhoto to iWeb photo size

Hi everyone,
When I try to export from iPhoto to iWeb, the website created only includes lower resolution images. (The original is 10Mpixels, the website only goes up to 800x500.)
Is there a way to get the full resolution images in there?
Thanks!

Drag/drop the picture you want to add on the area with the other thumbs.

Why does iWeb upoad the original photo in addition to the blog photos size

Hi,
why does iWeb upoad the original photo in addition to the blog photos size?
It's a waist of webspace.

Seems a bit strange having to pre-prepare an image to be manipulated by a website program that can manipulate images.
1 example, I loaded a photobooth image into Iweb (30-40k) only to find it changed it to over 240k just so it can add rounded edges..
I would like to be able to drag over a few 1meg+ images and have Iweb just use the size it needs without keeping over 13megs of images that arent used.
but it doesnt seem to do it for all images, only the 1st one of the page (like in the blog pages) 1 image is there by default, I load in say 6 images, 5 have square borders 1 has a round one and only that one had its original big brother uploaded..
Thanks for the info, at least now i can stop looking for a menu option that isnt there

IWeb "Original Size" download option? -- Not Even Close!

Unless I'm doing something very wrong -- which I sincerely hope is the case -- then iWeb's photo prefs are guilty of seriously false advertising.
I'm trying to create a "My Albums" page, such that the photos in the various albums it indexes can be downloaded FULL SIZE (in the same way that full res images can be downloaded from a MobileMe Gallery, provided the "Allow Downloading of Actual Size Images" option was selected when the Gallery was published).
So in iWeb, I made sure to deselect the "Optimize Images on Import" General Prefs option, before dragging in Aperture Projects and Albums from the Media Browser's Photos tab to create the new iWeb albums, and then made sure to select "Original (Full Quality)" as the Photo Sharing option for each album page in the Inspector’s Photos tab.
After publishing to my MobileMe account, I then visited the new site and did some test downloading, only to find that even with the above settings, the images which downloaded to my hard drive were still a much smaller pixel size than the originals. After a couple more tests, it appears the largest size download I can get from a picture in an iWeb photo album is 1280 pixels in either direction, whereas from a MobileMe Gallery I get the same pixel dimension as the original (so long as that aforementioned "Allow Downloading of Actual Size Images" option was selected).
So what's the deal here? Does iWeb have yet another "Don't shrink-it-just-leave-it-alone" option vis-a-vis photos and their downloadability which I missed?
Or does this "Original (Full Quality)" Photo Download Size option nevertheless impose a 1280-pixel upper limit? And if so, then WHY? I'm a big boy, I can decide how much of my allotted account space I want taken up with non-Optimized photos -- at least I SHOULD be able to decide that.
Any pointers as to how to overcome this arbitrary 1280-pixel download limit would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
John Bertram

A website is for viewing stuff online.
If you want people to be able to download them full size, put them in a folder, ZIP it and create a download link.
You would be best to create a download page(s) for this as, if you put the download files on the photo page it would take forever to download in the browser.
Thanks for the note -- though I'm going to respectfully disagree on the basic premise it presents: that a photo viewing site, and a photo sharing/downloading site, cannot co-exist.
It's a topic I've gone into at length in a new Aperture thread, posted at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1996786&tstart=0
In the meantime, having discovered the cause of this mysterious 1280-pixel limitation (see next post, below), I was pleased to see that including "unoptimized" images in my iWeb Photo Pages, and allowing them to be downloaded at their full pixel size, did NOT in fact slow down the actual loading or displaying of those same pages -- at least not to any appreciable degree. Which makes sense, since what iWeb is presenting to the end user are its own thumbs and individual previews -- regardless of what size downloads I've enabled in my photo sharing settings for that page. So the individual images display just as quickly.
The only thing that does take a little longer of course is when I initially publish or update my iWeb pages, and the larger, unoptimized images are uploaded to my MobileMe account. Likewise the individual downloading (not the online displaying, just the actual downloading if the user chooses to do so) of selected images -- since a 4MB jpg obviously takes a bit more time to copy to your hard drive than a smaller, 1MB version of the same image.
But the difference is negligible, and like I say, it doesn't seem to affect the preview-size displaying of the images at all, only the full-size downloading. And since my particular "audience" (the people for whom I'm creating these pages) are typically each only downloading a small handful of individual pics selected from each group of images, that's not a problem.
So the answer to my question:
...can iWeb photo pages be configured to allow downloading of images
at their full, original pixel size?
Is in fact: Yes, absolutely -- and with no apparent detriment to how well the images display online.

IWeb Photo Sharing problems

We have a iWeb photo page where visitors were able to click on a picture and save it on their own computer with it being a normal file size. Now, it seems when you try to save a picture it is shows up as "transparent" and only allows you to choose .gif or .bmp as the file extension.
I am not sure what changed....any thoughts??!!

...same question here: some of the photos on my site (www.christelvanmeeuwen.eu - still under the old iWeb for now) are from families, and, though they've let me use them for my site, should not simply be available for download, unless with explicit permission. On the other hand, I want to make some other photos available for free download, e.g. is someone wants to use them on his site or so (the Creative Commons philosophy).
So it would be quite convenient to be able to switch the download possibility on or off.
(I know that its virtually always possible to download an image on a site, one could always use a image grabber or so - but having the download button always there of course doesn't help...)
Any hint would be helpful,
Kind regards,
Christel

Web gallery use vs iWeb photo page

I really like the quick layout of the gallery. Would I be saving more iDisk space by using the Aperture Web gallery vs iWeb photo pages?? My guess is yes because I can control the size in page/detail and more when I save to my .mac. The only feature I would lose is the flow of navigation with the other iWeb pages.
My thought was to create a main photo page with iWeb and have a small snapshot to hyperlink to the homepage.mac gallery created with Aperture. This allows flexibility in adding/removing the galleries if space becomes an issue. I dont have much in iWeb so far and it takes a really long time to load as it is. I'd hate to bog down more with photo galleries.

hello, me100finn

You can always manually make a link to the other web pages which is what I do.
Just a few more added features to Aperture Web Gallery and Web Journal like an advance option feature to view & change the CSS or source code (without going to GoLive or Dreamweaver) or something along the lines of "would you like to add a link to another url?" would be tasty.

Yup, my thoughts too. Maybe version 2 (i hope). I'm making the site first in Aperture (the heavy lifting) and then making minor additions and tweaks in GoLive.
To do this add the image, select it after the export in a wysiwyg html editor and point it to the proper linked url.

Iweb photo page resizes photos

It seems no matter what I do I cannot get an iweb photo page to NOT resize my photos. On a photo page I have gone to the inspector and selected none and original for the photo download size and iweb still resizes the photos when I publish to a folder. I am pulling the photos in from iphoto. In iphoto the photos are full size (3MB +). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

ImageWell allows you to resize photos either by dimensions or by total size in kilobytes, and then you can upload them. It has a batch option too. Seems as though iPhoto should allow this but I haven't found it.

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.

Send to iWeb - Photo Resolution

When I send photos to iWeb to make a Web Album, I've found that the software lower the photo's resolution to 800*600.
What can I do to increase the resolution to something like 1600*1200 (at least it's bigger).
Thanks alot!

2. Create photo page in iWeb and just drag and drop converted photos from the desktop into the page.
When you drag a full sized image file into an iWeb photo page it automatically gets resized down to an 800 pixel x 600 pixel x 72 dpi resolution that is a very good quality level and small file size. Unless you want a different pixel dimension, it's extra work to convert prior to using in an iWeb photo page.
Do you Twango?
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 cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. I was given the choice of small, medium or large the first time I took a picture. Now I have no idea how to change it to medium. Can anyone help?

I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. The first time I took a pic it asked if I wanted smalll, medium or large and listed the pixels. I chose small but am now finding that is too small. Can anyone help me set it to medium now? I can't find any setting for that. I'm a newby to iPhones and have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks for any help you can offer.

By "sending" do you mean sending email?
If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
To my knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

Want to show image description in an iweb photo gallery

Is there a way to get the description data field to display for each photo when you make a gallery (or album page)? We took hours to add nice desctiptions for each photo and can't get them to show in the iweb/iphoto gallery.
I'm using 'publish to folder' so that I can host the gallery on my own website.
Also, each photo has the 'title' field showing, not even the file name I've given each photo. So the file name doesn't show either. Is there a way to show the file name?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

bjenrol:
Where are these descriptions entered? If you used the Description field in iPhoto you can use this Applescript to move the descriptions to the title field which will display in the iWeb photo page. Be sure to remove the Å from the script before saving. It's an error. When you're done importing to iWeb you can use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name to get the original file names back in that field.

IWeb photo gallery does not work in IE

Does anyone know why iWeb photo gallery does not work in Internet Explorer but does work in Safari, Chrome & Firefox?

What kind of a response are you looking for with a post like that, seriously? Change this or that in your unprovided code? Use this or that gallery, which may be the gallery you're already using. We don't know because you haven't mention specifics, provided any code, or any other relevant information to produce a helpful response. All you've said is you click a link and it's white. Kudos.
We're not mind readers and no one is looking over your shoulder watching what you're doing. Get it together... and when you do, post a link so we can see what you're talking about. jeez.

IWeb photo gallery comparison with PicasaWeb

How iWeb Photo Galleries are compared to say, PicasaWeb Albums ? or even PBase or Shutterfly ?
In terms of attractive visual presentation?
Worth investing $100?
Thanks!

You are missing a number of files from your website. You can see which are missing by bringing up the Activity window (Command+Option+A) while viewing the Places page in Safari and looking at the list of files in the window.
How are you publishing the site? With iWeb? If so then try using the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option to see if that will force those missing files to be uploaded.
If that doesn't work you can publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client, like the free Cyberduck, to upload the site files. If you have to continue to use Cyberduck this tutorial may help: #2 - Uploading Only Those Newly Published or Edited Files When Using a 3rd Party FTP Client.

Iweb photo gallery question

I have created an Iweb photo gallery on my website, and I wish to add links to each individual photo so that when a person clicks for the full view of the photo a link will appear somewhere on the page. I want each link to be specific to each photo. I have tried adding captions and making them links, but they don't work, they're un-clickable. Is there any possible way to do this in Iweb?

There are a number of ways you could add ecommerce to your site. I'm not familiar with the option but if you do a search for ecommerce in this forum you'll get several topics on the subject. Roddy has some very good information at this http://www.musicformusicians.com site.

Iweb Photo Album vs MobileMe Gallery or...

... should I look for flickr or something?
Hi guys new mac user in every sense...the wife got her Macbook on December and I couldn't resist and got my mine three days ago.
Guys...I'm creating a website with iweb and although right now does not have a lot of pics, I know it will...so please guys:
1. If I want the visitors to have a fast access (loading) to the albums...which is the best option? iweb Photo Album or the MobileMe Gallery widget?
I know that at the end all the pics will be loaded on/from the MobileMe server, but just wanted to check if one have proved being faster than the other.
2. The other thing I was concern about was of course space..that's why I though about putting all the pics on flickr, photobucket...and then embed an album on iWeb...can I do that?
thanks guys and please if this has already been discussed please post a link...I did the search and nothing came up.

hey guys...I found this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10742043&#10742043 Aztian said that his photos load faster using iWeb Photo Albums...it would be nice to have more info...thanks!
