"Optimising Photos for iPod" Does this affect photos in iPhoto Library?

Hi,
I have a question regarding syncing pictures which are stored in my iPhoto library with my iPod touch.
I notice when I sync photos I get a message that iTunes is "optimising photos for iPod"
1) Does this mean that 'quality' of the photos is reduced/compressed?
If so, does this mean that any picture downloaded onto my iPod, it's quality is reduced within iPhoto app.
or
2) The original quality of the photo is unchanged within iPhoto and it's only the synced photo which is 'optimised' for the sync process?
I hope this makes sense!
Thanks...........

Hi Dave,
Don't worry, iTunes only mangles, er I mean "optimises" the photos on your Touch.
The originals will stay intact on your computer, if you look in the photo file you sync with there should be another file called "iPod Photo Cache" where the marmalised ones are stored.
Dud.
ps. any photo, regardless of size gets butchered to a max of 640x480 and file size approx 650kb.

  • How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!

    How do I delete photos from iPod Touch?  Some photos do not have the trash basket option!
    When I first synced my iPod Touch with my laptop, it uploaded a lot of photos onto the iPod.  I now wish to delete those but it does not seem as a straight forward option!

    For photos synced to the iPod you have to unsync them:
    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • My clips have a yellow line on the timeline sequence. Does this affect my video quality output if I don't render?

    I use Adobe CS 6 to edit and I use Sony NX 3 to record. Every time I import my clips. It has a yellow line on the timeline sequence, even when I make new clip from the sequence.. My question is, does this affect my video quality output if i did not render the yellow line out? Please someone help me

    Please see this link for more info about red and yellow bars - http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.html
    If you shoot 1080p, you will likely have better results going to DVD than if you start with 1080i. It's hard enough downscaling with decent quality, then if you add in interlacing issues...
    When exporting from Premiere to create a DVD, choose "MPEG-2 DVD" as the format, and then choose a preset such as "NTSC Widescreen Progressive".
    There is a checkbox at bottom of export window for "Max Render Quality"  - use that for best downscaling results.
    Use 2-Pass VBR encoding. Use a bitrate calculator to determine best bitrate for length of movie, or quick option is 560/minutes = bitrate. But don't exceed 8.0 on shorter movies. I typically round down a little for safety margin, such as 560/120 = 4.6, encode at 4.5 and no worries.
    The export will result in TWO files, .m2v video and .wav audio, import both into Encore for authoring. Encore will convert the .wav to Dolby AC3, reducing file size. Video should NOT get transcoded. And as others said, don't expect HD quality when viewing a DVD...definitely not HD video any longer. But do be sure to use an upscaling player, this makes all the difference. If you run a yellow composite cable from DVD to TV, it will look horrible. Use HDMI with upscaling DVD/Blu-ray player for improved result.
    Good luck

  • Is Apple working on a fix for editing photos for wallpaper, call contacts with photo, etc? The iPhone used to be so intuitive for everything but that tanked with the ios7 upgrade

    iPhone 5 was so intuitive before the update. Editing photos has changed for the worst-any word of a fix for editing photos for wallpaper? Not a work around, a fix. If I wanted this kind of photo editing I'd still be using my droid x.
    Anyway to go back to ios6?

  • TS1538 I am going to have to upgrade to Windpws 8.1 because of the XP problem.  How does this affect my iPad

    I have to upgrade to Wiindows 8.1 because of the XP problem.  Does this affect my iPad?

    What xp problem?
    Xp works. Just because Microsoft will not be providing updates, this will not change. If you use common sense, which is required for any OS, you are perfectly safe.
    If you "upgrade" to windows 8, it is possible iTunes will see the computer as new and require you to resync your devices.
    Make sure you backup your iTunes library to an external drive.

    Apple would have to strip so many features out of iOS 7 to make it work on your iPod that about all you'd have would be iOS 6 with different icons. So as the others have said, this is not going to happen. If you want iOS 7, you'll need a newer iPod.

  • HT4236 I cannot see the photos from my last iphon sync in my iPhoto library on my mac. Help?

    After my last sync with itunes on my computer, iPhoto is not showing the last couple months worth of photos from my iPhone camera role in my iPhoto Library. I tried closing iPhoto and restarting the computer and they are still not showing up. Any help?

    Photos taken with the iphone are not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
    Open iphoto, connect iphone, import photo

  • Does Photos for OS X allow duplicate photo uploads to Flickr?  It used to check in iPhoto.

    Does Photos for OS X allow for duplicate uploads to Flickr?  I liked the way iPhoto handled this better.
    In iPhoto, if I uploaded a photo to Flickr, it wouldn't upload duplicates.
    When I upload with Photos it will allow duplicate uploads.  Is this a bug?
    Thanks!

    To date I have not found a solution.  If I do I will update.  Folks are trying to help though.  I am trying these items from another thread this weekend.  The first one seems to  have helped a bit.  I will update if I find something that works.
    Here are the  items I am trying (from Old Toad on this post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7001536)
    I you have iPhoto 9.6.1 or can download it from then App Store I suggest you do the following before converting the library to Photos.
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Option+Command keys held down and run the following First Aid routines:
         a. Option #1, Repair Library Permissions
         b. Option #2, Rebuild Thumbnails
         c. Option #4, Rebuild Database
    This will "clean" up the library to help insure a good conversion.  It might take a while to do those three routines but a clean conversion will make things go much better later on.

  • Why is the item count in Photos for Mac significantly higher after upgrading from iPhoto?

    Since upgrading to Photos for Mac from iPhoto, I've noticed the number of photos and videos in my library is higher than what I had before. Granted I imported some photos into the new app since then but taking that into account there's still a big discrepancy.
    In iPhoto 9.6.1, the item count is 13,394 and I have since imported 95 new items into Photos for Mac. The total then should be 13,489 but Photos for Mac lists the item count at 13,626. That's a difference of 137 items.
    Even taking into consideration that Photos for Mac might be including the 32 photos and videos that were in iPhoto's Trash (now Recently Deleted) folder, it still wouldn't account for 105 mystery items.
    Does anyone have any insight into this difference in the number of items?

  • GB 08-Importing mp3 file from media browser---does this affect source file?

    Hello again,
    Another question...
    I imported an mp3 from my iTunes folder into GB (to jam over). I did this via the media browser, and it came in fine. I next wanted to create a looped rhythm segment from that file to jam over. I know how to do this, and then add it as a loop to the library. However, does this alter the source file at all (in the iTunes folder)? Do I need to make a copy of this in the GB folder first before I start splicing? I think I read that GB will not alter files, just "regions" but I wanted to make sure.
    On a related note, does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)? So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
    Thanks!

    However, does this alter the source file at all
    no
    does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)?
    yes, and no. originally, yes, but once saved as a loop, that little clip is saved as it's own file to your lib
    So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
    same as above. it will in the first case, won't in the second
