Optimum File Size/Resoluton for Projection Slideshow

Although I've looked through some of the threads here I'm still a little confused and wondered if anybody could just simply guide me through this process:
1. I'm having an exhibition where my photographs are being projected, apparently, "using a screen resolution of 1024x768". The projected image size seems to be around 4-5ft across. I've been asked to supply my file of photographs but as there are a lot of them I would like them to be the optimum size for best quality, and not larger than necessary (for portability reasons). The gallery owner, using a Mac, says he will then create a slideshow.
2. I'm starting from my portfolio of "master" psd images of around 35MB which, in other words, would give a print size of roughly 14" x 9" @ 300 dpi. Obviously this is way too high and I need to downsize them (while converting to jpeg presumably). But to what? 150ppi? 100?
3. For my own peace of mind (and as a back-up) I might create the slideshow myself in iPhoto. I don't use iPhoto much but from reading the threads here apparently it's not difficult to do. I think I have to export it at the end to a Quicktime movie. Are there any resolution-type pitfalls that I should be aware of while either creating the Slideshow or exporting it?
Any replies very much appreciated.

Doesn't matter. Ppi or dpi only have relevance when you are printing. Have a read of [this|http://www.rideau-info.com/photos/mythdpi.html]
Just make sure the images are 1024 x 768.

No, as resolution is meaningless in this context.
Create an Album of the Images. Arrange them in the Order you prefer.
Click on the + lower left and select 'Slideshow'
Make your choices of theme, transitions etc.
Click on Export lower right. I would suggest using the Display setting, but there are custom export options too.
This really is more simple than you think.

File size in .cp project files

Hi,
I noticed that the file size of my .cp project does not
decrease even after the removal of slides. When I cut a 29 slide
project to ony 4 slides, the file size of the project remained the
same (identical).
How can I reduce the size of my .cp project files?
Could using a .cptl template that was created in a prior
version of Captivate cause problems with the project file size?
Thanks,
Luke

Hi Luke
I've seen reports here in these forums where some claim
clicking File > Save As... once or twice will result in a file
size reduction. Personally, I've never had it work for me. But it
may be worth trying to see.
The only sure fire way I'm aware of to clear elements and
reduce the size is to open a second instance of Captivate. Create a
fresh blank project using the same dimensions as the larger one.
Then copy slides from the existing project to the new. But this
probably breaks any branching you may have.
Cheers... Rick

HT4863 How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big. Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

File size limit for webdav upload

Dear Experts,
we set up what we thought to be a restriction of the file size allowed for upload. We did this in the portal via
System administration --> system configuration --> Knowledge Management --> Protocols --> WebDav --> Max WebDAV request size: 15728640 bytes.
We would have expected that to not allow us uploading any files larger than 15 MB. Turns out we were wrong and it does not work. Here is a http-trace of an upload of a 21 MB file.

Would anyone know any other way of preventing the upload of large files via a webDAV client?
Thank you very much.

Hi Michael,
This cannot be possible in portal but you can upload the max size file through portal drive or webdev . Through portal drive you can upload 50mb or any format file size you can upload through portal but portal you cannot upload you can get the message of file uploading failure or connectivity issues like these messgae appears at every interval so go through the portal drive or webdev.
But best option for uploading huge file size is Portal drive. This will helpful for you.

Files size limit for vimeo upload

Hi,
There is a warning sign that says ''publishing movies bigger than 5 GB may fail''. Why is that ? I have a vimeo pro account (I can dowload up to 20 GB per week. Does vimeo have file size limits for uploads ?

hello, I did some research on this question and found this:
"Vimeo does not have a maximum file size for uploads, however, there is a maximum of 500MB of uploading per week, making the maximum file size effectively 500MB. That's with a free account; if you pay to join Vimeo Plus the maximum weekly upload limit raises to 5GB"
So, maybe you can try to convert your video to another format in small file size? Or maybe you can trim video to make it smaller. If you want to try these suggested methods, this software can help you out: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-mate/id592736614?ls=1&mt=12

And what thing might that be?

Is there a file size limit for images in keynote on a mac?

Is there a file size limit for images in keynote on a mac?

If you right click on the file (navigate to it using finder, or if it is in iCloud you should open keynote, File -> Open and you should see a list of your iCloud keynotes) then press command+i, you'll pull up the info tag which will tell you the file size.
Keynote also has an option to Reduce File Size (File -> Reduce Files Size) but I do not recommend it at all because it will severely degrade the quality of your pictures.
It's also possible to reduce an individual image's memory size in your keynote by right clicking it and selecting Reduce Image File Size). This is more time-consuming but allows you to see if the degraded photo quality is still good enough, and you can always undo it.

HT1338 Why isn't the file size displayed for software updates in the App Store?

Why isn't the file size displayed for software updates in the App Store?
My only internet connection is a tether to my iPhone.
My limited bandwidth forces me to manage my data consumption - I am forced to "google" the file size of the software update so I can decide if I have the headroom in my data plan to take advantage of the update.

If you click on the name of the Application in your Updates Available list,
it will take you to the update Imformation for that App.

Photos: optimum file size for storage

I have a few questions about what is the best way to manage my photos.
Do I need to put my photos into my iTunes library before I can get them onto my ipod? There is no category called photos, so I'm not quite sure where they will go.
Will the file size be compressed before synching it to the ipod so that only the pixels required for the small screen resolution will be kept, or will photos remain in their full original size, limiting how many I can store?
If it goes on as the full original file,
a) will I be able to connect my ipod to photo kiosks to get prints?
b) what are the minimum dimensions and dpi that will show nicely on the screen so I can manually convert them myself before adding to my library?
I also have a question about album art. I've been able to set my own personal art (eg. family photos) to albums, but I'm not sure if it works for individual songs. As I understand it, these images are compressed and made part of the ID3 tags. Does this take up a significant portion of available memory?

You don't add your photos to iTunes at all, it does not actually show them in iTunes like it does music.
You can't prepare for the photos transfer before you get the iPod as you will only see the photo setting once the iPod is connected.
Once the iPod is connected there is a new tab in iTunes that lets you select the photos you wan to put on the iPod, basically it lets you select a folder.
I suggest you read the manual here, it explains it all :-
http://manuals.apple.com/manualsList?config=W4N&model=iPodtouchManuals

Thanks. I didn't realize there was no way to prepare the photos, because it's certainly taken me a long time to prepare the music.
I've been reading the manual, and it does not explain those questions I asked.
+If you’ve set up photo syncing, iTunes automatically copies or updates your photo library (or selected albums) from your computer to iPod touch whenever you connect iPod touch to your computer. iTunes can sync your photos from the following applications:+
+Â On a PC: Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0+
+or later+
+For information about syncing iPod touch with photos and other information on your computer, see “Getting Music, Videos, and Other Content onto iPod touch” on page 5.+
+(Page 7)+
+You can sync photos from Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync photos from any folder on your computer that contains images.+
It doesn't explain how it's done. How will I tell it which file to grab the photos from? There are four different locations where I am storing photos, and I only want to use one. It also does not mention whether the photos will remain in original format and whether they'll be readable at photo kiosks.
I hope that when I get the ipod it will be more clear.
Thanks for you help.
Any other advice?

Add a file size option for TIF export

I would like to have an option to set (uncompressed) file size (or alternatively size in MPix) for a TIF file and have lightroom set the pixel dimensions accordingly. The reason is that many libraries specify a file size requirement. If all your images are cropped the same then working out the dimensions is simple, but if they are all different shapes then it becomes a real pain as you have to work out the dimensions for each one.
Something somewhat similar has been mentioned for jpeg output, to allow you to specify file size and have lightroom adjust quality to achieve the filesize you want (leaving pixel dimensions fixed).
...rob

If by filesize you mean dimensions (e.g. cropped), then that is built into Lr5 - via smart collection, not library filter.
If you mean actual source file size (e.g. in bytes), that requires either:
* John Ellis' AnyFilter, or
* Jeffrey Friedl's Data Explorer.
(if there are others, I don't know about them)
I have plugins for lotsa things, but not everything .
Cheers,
Rob

External HD file size limits for movies

I recently bought (but have not yet connected) a Western Digital My Book Pro ext.HD for storage and started a thread - 'Best external hard drive...?' in the iMac forum to discuss this.
Though the responses were useful I would be pleased to have views from folks who specifically make and store their own movies.
As yet I am only using iMovie to edit DV footage (not HDV) but find, though saving frequently, that even short movies end up as much as 5 - 7GB. Converting them to Quicktime 'full quality' (ie .dv - hopefully with no loss) can sometimes reduce them, but other times very little at all.
My question is, being a little disappointed with the apparent limits in this new purchase:
If I want to keep the WD external in dual format FAT32 enabling me to take files to a PC how can I store files in it over 4GB?
If, as I suspect, this is out of the question and I am forced to reformat to Mac only is there a file size limit here?
Intel iMac 24" 2.16Ghz 2GB Mac OS X (10.4.10) G4 OS9

Using a Mac and video, hard drives would be normally formatted to Mac OS Extended (no limit).
Even though I personally don't do it you could have a partition using FAT32 for Windows.
Having the wrong format will restrict sizes even on Mac if Mac Standard is used. Windows needs to be NTFS for long video files.
Video files are large eg. DV files are 13.5 gig per hour. Compressing them reduces quality more or less depending type.

Preview file size explodes for JSTOR PDFs

I've discovered that when I use PREVIEW to open and then save PDFs downloaded from JSTOR (www.jstor.org), the file size explodes: from 500K to 8 MEGs, for example. This happens only with PREVIEW (though also with PDFPEN), but not with AdobeReader, and it only seems to happen with JSTOR PDFs. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?

I think I may have figured it out. There is a preference option for "PDF" called "Respect Screen DPI for Scale". If I turn that off, the file size doesn't explode. That may be a new option, or just an option that got switched on in my transition to Leopard.
However... now that it's stopped happening, I can't make it start by switching that preference back on, so that makes me doubt whether it really is the culprit. So long as my file sizes aren't exploding I'm happy, but I would like to understand why it happens.

Is there a file size limit for App Store downloads over wifi?

I just gifted my friend a navigation app that is 1.4 Gb in size. Unbeknown to me, her iPhone is not tethered to a computer and therefore she only downloads apps directly to the phone via wifi. Is it possible to download a file of this size directly to the phone? So far the app has said "Loading..." for 3 hrs with no movement in the status bar. If there is a limit I would have expected the phone to disallow the process from even beginning.
Any thoughts on how to get this app downloaded would be greatly appreciated.

File size limitation for folios?

Hi, is there a known limitation of file size for a folio. I try to distribute a folio with 1,7 GB via acrobat.com / folio producer.
Direct testing an a Android device (Samsung Galaxy) works (local folio), but downloading from acrobat.com fails.

I see. That’s still absolutely huge.
You might consider breaking it into more manageable parts.
