Minimizing the Quality of Photos

Hi,
I am trying to upload pictures to a website which limits the size to 500 Kb per photo. However, all my photos are 1.5 Mb which does not allow me to upload the picture. How can decrease the size and quality of the picture to under 500 Kb. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi Fladrid,
Select the photos, go to Share>export
In the next window click the "file export" button
In the export window put in smaller dimensions.
usually 1000x750 will give you below 500k

  • Does the number of photos stored on the Ipod touch affect the quality of photos

    My IPod touch had started out taking great photos, but over time I ended up storing well over 500 photos on it. Recently I noticed that my new photos are of very poor quality (fuzzy) could this be due to the volume of photos stored. I can easily delete them, but would like advice if my photo qulity is affected by storing too many photos in the device.
    Another photo question. ONce a photo is deleted, is it truly gone, r can it be retrieved?
    Thanks!

    " Recently I noticed that my new photos are of very poor quality (fuzzy) could this be due to the volume of photos stored."
    No.
    "ONce a photo is deleted, is it truly gone, r can it be retrieved?"
    it is gone.  Unless you had syncd while the photos was on the ipod.  The you coudl restore form backup.
    Why do you keepo so many pics in the camera roll?  You should be importing these pics regulalry to your computer, as you would with any digital camera.

  • Decreasing the quality of photos - how do I do it. It used to be that I could - save as - a quality screen popped up ???? I have a Macbook Pro OSX system 10.9.2

    I want to know how to decrease the quality if a photo. i have a MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.2 system. I used to just copy as and I could change the quality. -Help!

    You would do that with Preview.
    If the photos are in iPhoto you an export them at reduced quality.
    File -> Export

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

  • How do I maintain the quality of photos exporting in Book Module ?

    I am concerned about exporting my book pages as jpg or pdf because of the compression each format applies. Any experience here? Thanks Sandy

    You should just try it with some different settings for jpeg quality and open up the jpegs or pdfs to see whether they are acceptable quality. If you cannot see problems on your screen, they are not there. Both formats use jpeg compression but the quality setting should be good enough to not give any visible issues. At least that has been my experience. You should have your quality setting for jpeg above 75 or so but higher is typically not necessary. 300ppi is usually enough for printing from the files. sRGB is usually the correct color space to use except when you know your printing service knows what it is doing with regards to color management.

  • How can i improve the quality of photos in my newsletters?

    I create my newsletters in Apple Pages and inlcude high res photos.  When I save the file as pdf to email it to printer all the photo files are reduced and printnquakity is very poor.  Do I need acrobat X and if so how would it help?

    I think Pages has this option:
    Menu > File > Export… > PDF > Export Quality > Good/Better/Best > Next… >
    See if the "Best" quality setting meets your needs first.

  • Does the ipad reduce the quality of photos that are imported using the SD to lightning connection kit?

    Hi everyone. I'm hoping you can help.
    I'm currently travelling and my intention is to take photos using my camera, import them to my iPad using the lightning to SD connector and then upload the photos to cloud storage for safe keeping.
    The problem I've found is when I import photos to my iPad the file size, and therefore quality of the photos, is reduced. I know this because I have tested uploading the same photo to Mega.co.nz cloud storage using both the iPad and a Nexus 4 phone - the iPad uploaded the photo at file size 2.9mb and the Nexus uploaded the photo at the original file size of 5.8mb.
    Can this issue be resolved?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ben

    Sorry, issue resolved.
    For those that may be having similar problems, the issue is the Mega.co.nz app that was created for apple products. It's possibly a bug that means it either compresses the file or does not accurately record the file size. I will report the fault to Mega.

  • How do I improve the quality of photos on the web?

    I have noticed that a lot of websites I visit the image quality is shocking, its driving me mad and cant figure out how to improve it for good instead of pressing SHIFT + A or whatever it is... please help   

    Your web browser doesn't control image quality on web sites. It's controlled by how those images were optimized.
    The sites that look really good were probably put together by people who understand how to balance contrast processing, sharpening, and data compression settings to produce an image highly optimized for web display. Also, if you have a Retina screen, some websites are Retina-optimized and many are not.
    When images look bad on a web site, it's because the production people don't understand how to sharpen for the web, or maybe the site imposes mandatory over-compression to save space but that destroys image quality (e.g. Facebook).

  • Any Help Available for Minimizing the Shimmer on Photos?

    I've just finished a movie that's made up of photos imported from iphoto. I've burned a DVD and the still images look fantastic... but most of the photos with a Ken Burns move (even a short, gentle move)shimmer like crazy. It's especially bad if there's any kind of line pattern in the image (on buildings, etc). When there's water in the shot, I don't mind the shimmer. But, otherwise, it's very distracting, especially if the shimmer causes people's faces to distort.
    What's behind the problem and what can I do to fix it? I suppose I could remove the movement from all shots but I'd REALLY like not to have to do that. There's not enough time in the world for that... Please advise.
    Diana

    While it is a little hard to tell from your description, what you are probably seeing is caused by the interlaced nature of a television. There are a variety of artifacts caused by the scanning and display processes in television, and even more introduced by the compressed nature of the broadcast signal when you are watching a broadcast. Further, many cheap televisions actually discard about 1/3 of the color signal they receive.
    My guess is that you are seeing flicker introduced by the interlacing. This is a well known problem, and why made for television productions do not use any strongly patterned clothing (watch your evening news, and look how they are dressed - the choices are affected by the technology). Another possiblity is dot crawl, but I am not sure how you would be seeing that.
    This is not something Apple can fix. You can fix it by using images that do not contain sharp transitions between light and dark. That is, soften, not sharpen the images.

  • Why do the quality of photos suffer when produced as a slideshow?

    the borders tremble and the resolution is terrible.  Any suggestions?

    I don't see the desaturation you describe on my own 15" retina but what you describe is definitely not strange and out of character for the Slideshow module. The slideshow module is quite bad to start with and has been such since the start of Lightroom. Pity as the rest of Lightroom is quite good.  It might work in a pinch but even the free iPhoto that is already on your Mac does a better job. It's not a bad idea to simply export some jpegs and show them in iPhoto. You get many more transitions and you can do the zooming and panning. I use Keynote myself for complete control and text overlays/effects. This now is also a free download from the app store with any recent Mac. Just avoid saving your files on the silly Apple cloud.

  • Photo Quality - Shared Photo Streams

    Is there any method of changing the quality of photos within shared Photo Streams?
    For example, there's a massive drop from 8MP to 3.1MP for photos taken with an iPhone 4S then added to a shared Photo Stream. This makes it pretty much useless if I want to easily share original quality photos with other family members.

    Photos stored in 'Photo Stream' are uploaded to the server with the original photo quality (Apple: "On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space.")
    When you access the photo stream with a Mac/PC, the photos will be at the same original quality, but on a device like the iPhone 3GS, however, the photos will be at a 'device optimized' resolution. So if you access the photo stream with an iPhone 3GS the photos will be a lower quality, but the photos on the server will still be at the original quality, which means you can retrieve the full quality photos if you have a Mac/PC.
    With shared photo streams, however, the situation is a bit different. Apple states that "Shared Photo Streams deliver photos in a device-optimized resolution that speeds upload and downloads and saves storage space", and therefore the photos are not uploaded to the server in the original resolution.

  • Quality of photos BAD in iDvd5- is iDvd 6 any better? Jaggies, blurring...

    I've found that the quality of photos is BAD in iDvd5- and I want to know is iDvd 6 any better? Jaggies, blurring, pixelation... nothing NEAR the quality of the original photos. I've read a bunch of old posts on this topic, and I know I can't expect pristine quality from my 10 megapixel camera files, but I CAN expect something better than the crap I'm getting out of iDVD. The slideshows I'm getting in iMovie are great, I just can't burn to DVD for clients. I've tried making them in iMovie but I have the same problem- plus I'd like to bypass iMovie altogether as all my images are stills, no video (for this project anyway).
    I've tried everything other people have recommended- saving to quicktime and then importing or dragging into iDvd, applying ken burns first so it won't render, changing the quality settings... anything that anyone has said might help. Still getting crappy DVDs. I think I've wasted about 20 DVDs by now.
    I'll buy the new iLife pack if iDvd 6 is any better (currently running iDvd5). I'm hearing that this is apple's problem, not ours, and none of the fixes I've been trying are working. If I can't find a solution soon I'm going to have to buy some non-apple software.

    Your expectations are probably too high for what can be achieved usinmg today's DVD technology. Read Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html for information about image size requirements for iDVD. 'Throwing' to large a file at iDVD can actually make the final image quality poorer that using a smaller image size as recommended in the article because of QuickTime resizing issues.
    Today's NTSC DVDs are less than 640x480 pixels. That's all you get. Period.
    Roxio's Toast Titanium 8 offers a photo disc option that produces an auto running slideshow in XP machine and only requires a double-click to run under Mac OS 10.4. This approach puts your full res images on the disc which are then available to anyone who has the disc. Since this approach is COMPUTER based and NOT DVD based, image quality on a computer screen is very good.
    I have recently put together several large slideshows with FotoMagico. The default setting was less than optimum, put with a little playing around I was able to produce DV movies with excellent image quality. After iDVD compression, the image quality was better than I could get with a slideshow created in iDVD directly. Image sharpness was good. However, it is still only 640x480 resolution and thus hardly high resolution.
    It would be possible to put the DV movies I created in FotoMagico on a DVD data disc. I suspect users would have to then copy the DV movie to their hard drive in order to get a high enough data rate for good playback.
    Bottom line: for maximum image quality on playback stay away from creating a video DVD and use Toast 8 to create a photo disc that is played back on a computer.
    If you need a video DVD, FotoMagico (or Photo to Movie) will probably give you better slideshow image quality than iDVD. But 640x480 is still only 640x480!

  • Quality of photo

    Is there a way to adjust the quality of Photos on a IPhone 4? The pictures I take are sharp but their size is less then 2.5 Mb's

    The size of the image file is irrelevant. It is a JPEG, which is compressed. You should be able to enlarge to 8x10" and still have sharp photos.

  • Hello,  I am have problems with coruption of the photos in a slide show after burning the DVD in iDVD.  This coruption does not always appear when you preview the project.  I have slowed down the burn rate to 1X and kept the quality to professional.

    I am having a great deal of problems with Data coruption in slide shows after I have burned a DVD in iDVD.  I have changed burn rate from best to 1X with no difference in the coruption.  I have the quality set to professional with no improvement.  The size of the project is near 3.95, so it should fit on a single layer burn.  Should I use either iMovie to create the slide show or "Photo to Movie"?  Also, can anyone comment on how I preserve the highest quality picture resolution with a slide show?  If I do use iMovie or Photo to Movie,  the file size should exceed the 4.2 size so, will I have to buy new DVD's which are capable to handle the double layer burn and upto 8 GB?  What DVD's are recommended?  Any preferred brand?  Are there problems with burning with double layer?  I read on this blog of numerous problems.

    DVDs are LOW resolution by today's standards - only about 0.3 megapixels - so there is no way they your images on a TV set will look "High Definition".  See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html for recommendations on image sizes to use.  Using larger images won't give you better  quality, andf in some cases, will lower you image quality because  the Quicktime resizing that occurs isn't the best.

  • After creating a new slideshow I export it with the  setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not  as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

    DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good.  You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

  • In PE11 the quality of the photos in the slide show are inferior to those in the catalogue.  Why?

    I have been on the phone for a few hours to Adobe but they are stil investigating.  When I produce a slide show using Elements 11 the pictures are no way near as clear as they appear in the folders.  I just want to show my pictures without them looking like crap.  They were taken using the highest quality photo on the camera, which is a new Nikon and look great when viewing through Elements Organiser.  They also look amazing in the original source, eg My Pictures files.  When making slide show it asks the quality and I select high.
    Does anyone else have a problem Or better still a solution????
    Driving me nuts so any help appreciated.

    DVD Standards are 720 x 480 NTSC, 720 x 576 PAL. So it doesn't matter how good the resolution is in your original images when you burn to DVD those resolutions will be reduced to one of the above.
    So I suggest you follow the instructions earlier for File> Process Multiple Files and reduce the size in PSE to 720 x 576 (as you wanted a PAL DVD) and then create your slide show for further editing in PRE.
    The reason for this suggestion is that it is generally considered in the PRE Community forum that PRE has a cruder image resizing algorithm than PSE.
    If you think you may want to do Pan & Zoom on some of your images resize them to say 1000 pixels wide (with constrain proportions set).

    Why isn't my DVD as clear and detailed as my original footage?
