Optimal Resizing Workflow - iPhone, iPad, AppleTV, etc...

I have an Adobe Lightroom catalog of around 60,000 hi-res TIF and RAW images, and I would like to take my favorite 5,000 or so of these images and import them into iPhoto so that I can then sync them to my iPhone, my iPad, view them on my Apple TV, upload them to Facebook, and perhaps even get some iPhoto books printed up.
I shoot with a Canon 5D MKII so the images in Lightroom are enormous. I am in search of the optimal resizing formula to use when exporting downsized JPEGs from Lightroom for subsequent import into iPhoto.
In other words I would like to figure out the perfect dimension/resolution combo to use that would ensure that my images look great on whatever device they are viewed on, and that I'll always have a large enough image to accomplish anything I might want to use iPhoto to do with them.
Specs for iDevices I would view the images on, as well as Apple's suggested minimum resolution of images for
iPhone 4 ~ 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 pixels per inch (ppi)
iPad ~ 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi)
Apple TV ~ 1280-by-720-pixel resolution at 72 pixels per inch (ppi)
iPhoto Books (for the maximum 20 x 30 inches print) ~ 1600 by 2400 pixels (pixels per inch not specified here)
Anyone care to take a stab at suggesting a single 'universal' resizing formula (height/width/resolution) for optimizing my images for the above mentioned outputs? Thanks!

iPhone 4 ~ 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 pixels per inch (ppi)
iPad ~ 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi)
That's easy: choose the longest side: Long Edge is 1024 pixels. You don't care about where is width and where is height, because both devices rotate.
Apple TV ~ 1280-by-720-pixel resolution at 72 pixels per inch (ppi)
It's easy too: Fit width 1280/height 720. You DO care for with and height, since TVs don't usually rotate.
A universal formula for above 3 devices would be to choose the largest width and height of all. That would be: fit width 1280/height 1024.
iPhoto Books (for the maximum 20 x 30 inches print) ~ 1600 by 2400 pixels (pixels per inch not specified here)
Even if they don't specify resolution, for print you need at least some 240 ppi. At 30 inch, that will be 30*240=7200 pixels. That mean you need to your images full, without any downsampling.
The final advice:
1. Use fit width 1280, height 1024.
2. Import full-size to iPhoto for books as you need them. You're not going to print all those 5000 pictures, are you?

  • ITunes Library not visible in iphone/ipad/appletv

    I have a 2013 mbp, and 2007 imac. An ipad Mini, an iphone 5 and apple tv 3. All are updated to the most recent versions.
    Both my mbp and my imac can "see" each other's itunes libraries and play them. So home sharing works.
    My iphone, and ipad can see the mbp and imac libraries in their iTunes, however they cannot see them in Music.
    The itunes remote works on both the ipad/iphone when looking at the mbp and imac.
    The apple tv can happily mirror what is on both the mbp and imac. I can play itunes music happily on the apple tv from both.
    The apple tv cannot see the itunes library of either the imac or the mbp in "Computers"
    The apple tv happily mirrors the ipad and iphone.
    I have duplicated the problem with different routers.
    So home sharing sort sort of half works. It is weird. Suggestions?

    Have you tried clicking on "Music" in iTunes?
    Yes and that is where my purchased music shows up but not my 6900 other songs.
    My Itunes library is on an external hard drive. Maybe that has something to do with it....

  • How to Sync iPhone/iPad with Time Capsule (wirelessly)

  • How to Get Rid of Update Option on an App, iPhone, iPad etc...

    Dear Apple,
    I understand this is not possible, yet!
    Please fix this one annoying oversight/bug you have had for ever. The option to "Update All" is great but it's useless if you have one or more apps that you don't want to update. Not everyone wants to update everything, agreed? Why not give us all an option to select an app that we wish not to be included in our updated list of apps to our devices such as our iPhone, iPad etc...?
    For example, I have Splash id, 4 since 2008, if I do an "Update All" which is crucial (because I have many, many apps to update at a time and I like to update them all at once on my WiFi once every month or so) I'm forced to update Splash to version 6. I don't want 6 because this version is "not compatible" with the Desktop Version! I use the desktop version everyday to sync all my new passwords etc....
    In order to make the Desktop version work I need to pay Splash yet another $10 to upgrade? I'm happy using my old version, it works fine.
    So because you don't have an option to exclude this app with the updates, I have to sit there for hours just updating my apps one by one?
    Appears to be an easy fix, how has this slipped by you for sooo long?
    There has to be many of you out there experiencing this problem. If this post goes viral maybe Apple will see it and do something about it?
    Thank You

  • Imac will only connect to my home wifi via ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). its driving me nuts!

    My imac (2 yrs old) will not connect to my home wifi with the exception of my ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). I have changed my ISP recently and this issue has never happened before. I am with my current ISP for about 7 weeks and this was not an issue for the first 2/3 weeks. Went through the usual set up procedures but alas...nothing. Message states unable to join network! Don't think it is an ISP issue as all other devices work perfect...or is it? As I said It did work at the start, but no longer. I recently moved to NJ from Ireland, so my imac is a European model (don't think that makes a difference?) I can only presume it is the settings on the imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx

    Hi - out of action for a few days. To answer your questions:
    - and click on Advanced and make sure everything is correct - all in order
    - Also check on your router's website to make sure the iMac is recognized there - it IS NOT recognized here as other devices are
    - do you by chance have your router set up to do Mac filtering? - i don't know..how do I check?
    Thx

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • FLV file don't show on iPhones, iPads, etc.

    I'm on a iMac with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 processor running 10.6.8. I build websites using Dreamweaver CS4 and all my media files are FLV files. I've noticed that none of the media shows on a iPhone, iPad, etc. Is there a media file format that I can use that works for browsers and will show on iPhones, iPod, etc.? I also noticed that SWF file don't show either. Any direction would be helpful.

    Those are Flash content types. Flash doesn't exist on iOS, and won't exist on any future mobile platforms, according to Adobe.

  • Malfunction of my website on Iphone, ipad, etc. ..

    Hello,
    I developed a few years ago a website http://www.amio.fr that works on all browsers except on iphones, ipads, etc ...
    My site appears well on my recent menus "spry" is not working properly
    Could you tell me what I need to set up or changed so that it works
    I'm working on Dreamweaver CS6
    Thank you for your cooperation
    Bruno

    Unfortunately the Spry menu on that page will never work correctly on mobile devices because it uses the ancient and outdated Spry 1.4. The latest release was 1.6.1.
    The dropdowns rely on the hover event to trigger the dropdowns but the hover event does not exist on mobile devices so the dropdowns will never be seen with a touch screen.
    Spry 1.x menus were never designed for mobiles. Spry 2.0 was Adobe's next attempt but that too has been abandoned.
    Adobe announced last year that Spry has been discontinued altogether (no further development) in favour of other frameworks such as jQuery.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l
    You're better off replacing that menu system with a mobile friendly jQuery one or, even better, a commercial product such as http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/index.htm

  • If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my phone to iOS 7.0, does that have an effect on my calendar, etc.  It doesn't seem to be showing the same data it was before the update.  Lost lot of info from calendar.

    If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products.  It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.

    If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there. 
    searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
    The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
    As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
    Regards.

  • Can't sync my iCal with my MM account, iPhone, iPad, etc- Can you help?

    For some reason a few weeks ago, my iCal just stopped communicating with my iPhone, iPad, and my MobileMe account. Anything that I do in iCal only lives in iCal. On the left side of iCal, it lists the MM account, but there is a little triangle with a Caution Exclamation point inside. When I click on it it says...
    The server responded with an error
    The connection to account “[email protected]” failed because the network is unreachable.
    I tired to reset the sync and when I did- all events in iCal are now gone. How do I get iCal back up and running and to sync with my MobileMe?
    Help! Thanks,

    Why would you make a new account?  This will likely cause many problems.  Just get you old account enabled.
    Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
    Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account.  You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

  • IPhone & iPad text entry as universal app (need text to resize?)

    Hi.
    I'm building a universal app for the iPhone and iPad that has a login screen that needs to obviously use text input..
    This all works fine, I'm developing at the iPad size and letting it auto-scale to the iPhone size (I have made allowences for the extra screen size).. only downside is, on my iPad text is the correct size during entry, but when trying to type on my iPhone it remains at the iPads text setting - which is 40 when it needs to be about 14 to fit in the text box when on the iPhone screen.
    anyone tried to deal with this problem?

    Could you please, write here you application.xml file for the iPad (or universal iPhone/iPad ) application? I can't compile my application for wide iPad screen - it works as iPhone app (320x480).
    Thanks.

  • IPhone / iPad universal publish stage size

    I've tried the iPhone & iPad publish setting to publish for both devices. My code is designed to detect the stage size and layout the content differently according to the dimensions. Whenever I use this publish setting though the app on both devices only acts as if the stage size is the one set in authoring. If I set it to 1024x768, that's how big it shows up on the iPod. If I set it to 480x320, that's how big it shows up on the iPad.
    Am I missing something in my code? Even if I'm not changing the orientation, do I still need to listen to a resize event and THEN do my basic setup?

    Hi, I think the stage size is a different property from the screen size?  The stage size stays the same no matter how it is scaled within the screen, so Stage.stageWidth etc will always give the same value.
    Have a look at System.Capabilities.screenResolutionX / screenResolutionY instead.
    Hope it helps,
    Peter
