Making photos 72 dpi

I need to send some photos, and they have asked for them to be 72 dpi. How do I find out if the photos I have taken and stored in iPhoto are 72 dpi. And if they are not, how do I adjust them.
Thanks for your help..... Dot

When I export it gives me a choice of small, medium, large, and full size. Is "small" the choice I need to send them 72 dpi?
Answer is as before
DPI (dot per inch) is meaningless in a digital file which has only dots - no inches - inches come into play when you print or display a photo - read The Myth of DPI for a complete discussion
Basically if you have a 100 x 100 pixel photo and print (or display) it as a one inch square it will be 100 dpi, same photo displayed ten inches square will be 10 dpi - if you do not have inches you can not have dots per inch
You can make your photos and pixel (dot) size as a part of the export process
I am trying to comply with their instructions.
It is impossible to comply with that instruction (you can use photoshop or photoshop express to set a value of 72 dpi in a photo but it is meaningless as the referenced article explains - did you read it?
You need to know the pixel dimensions needed - or the print size so you can calculate the pixel size - dpi simply does not exist without "inches" - hence dots PER INCH

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

Making Photo Montage for Desktop

Hi Guys,
I have a ton of really small photographs in a folder on my desktop that I would like to have in one large picture. I am looking to create something that has all the photos (or at least most) on a grid in one large picture and then set that as a background. I have iPhoto 6, but not Aperture. I think about sixteen or so of these photos would fit on my screen as a background.
Thanks a lot.

The demo version of OmniGraffle will let you work with up to 10 images per document. I use it to create this 96 image collage 20 x 30" poster.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Making Photo Slideshows along with movies

Does FCE HD or FCP HD make good quality slideshows. iMovie seems to lose a lot of quality wihen making slideshows with photos. I am looking to make a DVD with movies as well as photos, and I am wondering what would app would give me the best quality.
Macbook Pro

I use Photo-to-Movie under http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
It makes better DV quality slideshows than iPhoto or iDVD (less shimmer and pixelation) and allows for very precise motion control of the "Ken Burns" effect. Then I import the finished "movie" to FCE and then export the movie to Livetype or Soundtrack to add titles or my own music.

App for changing photo dpi

Does anyone know of a simple iPad App that will allow me to change the dpi of photographs?

mmm... well i went through changing all the dates on my photos using the date change feature in the new 'photos' app. It did seem to work - at least with the batches I was dealing with. Eveything seems correct when views within photos on my mac. however.... none of the date changes are syncing across my devices Ive put a thread here - if anybody has any ideas as to why they've be very much appreciated - thanks - Re: date stamps appearing incorrectly on ios

Need help making photo page look clean,Time to show up on Google? Photoshop

Just bought this Mac 2 days ago and am trying to make the switch. I was computer illeterate on my Dell as well but so far this program is pretty neat. I am trying to get my photo page cleaned up. I would like all the photos in a single row across the page with only one photo displayed underneath. I have seen a few demos with that done but I cannot figure it out. Ideally a slideshow would start automatically but I really just want a cleaned up page vs. a blob of photos.
My site is http://www.greasysideup.com
The picture demo is here http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#album - the scuba picture on the far right of the iweb showcase is the look I am going for.
Additionally how long does it take to show up on a google search? I am following one of the listings on here on how to do that. On the google search pages there is a brief description of the page as well, I believe it is the title page. How do I make Google say how cool my site is? if it ever shows up on google?
Last question - is there a program on my Mac similar to photoshop? I want to do some simple 3-d looking text angled slightly as if it is coming out of the screen with my name and the name of my business.
The other thing I want to do is take this picture, make the background black and make the planes orange or red then put those in the background on one of the pages.
/Users/joshwilson/Downloads/Yak50_profile.jpg
(I need to learn to post a jpg in the forums as well I guess!!) The photo is the last one on my website photo page labeled Yak 50_profile. I want to make the background black and the outline orange.
Thanks for all the help. This site is great! I think I'll be glad I made the Mac Switch.

Making photo galleries fit screen sizes in fluid grid layout

Making photos full screen on an IDVD compilation??

Can I make the photos play full screen on the TV after creating an IDVD video compilation of photos? I have already adjusted the setting to "safe TV screen size". Thanks

Just something to add to JK's post:
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Making photo folders on the desk top- issue?

Currently all my photos are organized in iPhoto by date/roll#. Each picture is given the automatic titles like Pict0008.jpg by iPhoto. Occasionally i want to select certain photos and organize them on the desk top into folders I create. When I drag a photo I took in december titled Pict0001.jpg into the folder on the desktop and then try to drag a photo I took in Feb (which also happens to be called Pict0001.jpg) I get a dialog boxs asking me if I want to replace the older version with the newer one. I understand why it is doing this but I can't seem to by pass the dialog box by retitling the newer photo. Even if I retitle both photos iPhoto still continues to read the original # name it gave the photo when it was imported into iphoto. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance

melanie,
When you rename a photo in iPhoto you are giving it a title which is only reflected within iPhoto. the image name stays the same in the Finder. That is why if you just drag the images from the iPhoto window to the desktop they still have the original file name. In order to change the file name you have to export the image and use either the title or album name as the naming scheme. This does change the image name to the title/album in the Finder for the exported image.

Making photos fit to screen, how do I do this?

When I set int the preferences the photos to be scaled to fit the display, the photos I import seem to get scaled down to half screen size.
What i'd like is to ask the software to fit all photos to the screen so the longest dimension fits.
Can I do this... At the moment I'm scaling by had and there are 200 slide to do and more to come!
Thank you in advance for what I hope is a simple answer...
Hugh

Create an image in keynote just like you want it and note it's size or dimensions after you have it sized. Make a separate copy of the images you want to size so you don't re-size the originals. Then use Preview to size all of those images to the size needed. You can do this all at once by selecting all the images and bulk size them in Preview. Then as you create your presentation just drop them in as needed and they will already be sized properly.

Issues making photo albums on Iphone4

I am trying to make photo albums on my iphone4, and in Itunes it used to let me select sync photos from selected folder, and then I could select that folder and it would sync great and make an album. Now it wont let me choose selected folder, and will only let me choose all folders, or include videos. Does anyone know how to fix that?
Thanks!

Hello,
Make sure you have the correct folder selected. Check the box "Sync photos from" and from the drop-down menu select "choose folder...".
If the folder you chose contains sub-folders, you will be given an option to sync "Selected folders" otherwise the option is disabled.
Hope this helps.

Making photo books

Since Lightroom lacks a book-making feature like iPhoto and Aperture, I wonder what others have used to make books and what you recommend. I'm aware of several online book-making services, like blurb.com.

Ross,
I use Yophoto in the UK. You download their small application, drag and drop your chosen images into the pages and that's it. There are many type of book option, page layout options available and even some editing options in the application and for the price the end results are really quite good. I chose the leather backed landscape book because most of my images are of landscapes and the page size of the book is better geared to maintaining the original format of my images. I found a lot of the competition had strange page size options - ok for snap shots etc but would have meant a lot of cropping and resizing had I taken this route. Delivery to Germany was also very quick.
