Optimum photo size for a slideshow

what is the best size of photo (500kb, 1mb ect) for creating a slideshow that will have good resolution when put on a DVD?

Pixel dimensions of the photo are generally a more significant consideration than file size when using photo files as input to a slideshow.
If you will be using Adobe Premiere Elements with Photoshop Elements in order to create your DVD, then I definitely suggest that you read this FAQ over at the Premiere Elements forum

  • Is there and optimum photo size and resolution for use on the ipad?

    Is there an optimum photo size physical and resolution for use on the Ipad.

    It depends on whether you want to zoom in the image. If you don't, pre-converting them to the native screen resolution of your iPad 2, 1024*768 (assuming 4:3 aspect ratio, as is the case with most Point and shoot (but not DSLR, which, generally, use 3:2!)) will make sureyou use the least storage and will always have the fastest file transfer.
    If zooming is important and you have pictures over 16 Mpixels you want to fully zoom in, then, you'll need to use third-party apps like Photo Manager Pro (review: http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/all-one-photo-viewer-roundup-70-price-drop-bes t-image-viewer ), which doesn't downsize your pics and doesn't use much more storage than it should.
    Let me know if you have further questions.

  • Fill screen with zoom for small photo sizes (as in slideshow)?

    Front facing iPhone 4S camera sized photos are too small in iPhoto. Is it possible to set a default to fill screen with zoom for all photo sizes (as in slideshow)? Seems like the old iPhoto worked like this.

    That's what I was afraid of!  I wish it would still scale photos to fill the window also if they're smaller  than the window size (not just 100%), like it used to in older versions of iPhoto. Especially irritating, since the problem photos are from an Apple product, the front facing camera of the iPhone4s.  I already added my complaint to "feedback".
    Thanks anyway.

  • Optimum Image Sizes for iWeb 08?

    I'm trying to find an optimum size for images for an online portfolio. . I have the photos in their native resolution, and I'm wondering what size should I downsize them to for the slideshow view. . . any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

    It really depends on how many photos you want to load and what quality you need.
    You have to trade of these against the download speed of your webpage.
    The iWeb Photos or Albums pages are not the best way to present your work.
    Have a look at flash.....

  • Adjust Photo Size For Web Gallery

    I'm uploading a new Web Gallery as I type this....(although nothing appears to be happening at the moment...I decided against my first couple of efforts and deleted those galleries).
    I don't see a way to adjust the size of the photos uploaded to the Web Gallery. As each of the photos I'm uploading is approximately 3MB in size, I was hoping there might be an option to compress each of the photos prior to uploading. Am I missing it?
    In iPhoto Help, there's a topic for "Choosing the Appropriate Size For Your Photo". Apparently, this only refers to emailed photos, though?
    Any thoughts on this?

    Mike:
    Have you checked on the size of the files uploaded to the web gallery? They are resized to 800 x 600 pixels. If you select the option to have the full sized image downloaded then the max pixel dimension is 3054 pixels in any direction. If the are larger than than the get resized. Additionally the file is compressed. My 2.7 MB file was downsized to 750 KB.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries. 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.

  • Optimum Pixel size for Video????

    I used to make my video files 720x486 (0.9px) D1 and they would come out nice... now with iDVD 6 It seems to be scrunching my video (adding small black bars on top and bottom) and causing distortion. What is the optimum video pixel size for the standard and widescreen settings of iDVD??
    cheers@!
    c

    Quoting F Shippey:
    If you live in 'NTSC land', Apple suggests that you use 720x540 pixel images for standard video and 854x480 pixel images for widescreen.

  • Photo size for IMovie 6

    I'm still using IM6, I hope there's still folks out there who care about older apps! When importing photos, is there an optimum size for IM? Sometimes it seems like my images are too large, especially the panorama shots, and IM can't display the whole image. Thanks!

    Hi Chris,
    I'm not saying this is the "only" way but I've gotten used to batch converting folders with images I intend for iMovie slide shows so that they will "fit" the view screen.
    Many experienced users will say that it's "better" to just crop your images or at least limit any applied text to areas near the center of the image so they still appear when displayed in slide show mode.
    My solution is to use GraphicConverter, which provides two similar methods to batch convert from larger to smaller sizes. From trial and error: I've learned there's indeed a "range" of sizes which will display properly. 640 x 480 @ 72 ppi gives "okay" results in slide shows, I'd recommend 720 x 540 @ 72 ppi as a minimum.
    From the GraphicConverter user group, here's the method as given by Jeff Lomicka :
    - Drag the folder containing the images to the GC icon, it will open in
    the image browser.
    - From the "Batch:" button menu, pick "Define batch..."
    - Pick "scale" from the list on the left
    - Pick "size in pixel" and set the width field to the width of your
    screen for the slide show (1024 is typical)
    - Pick "resolution" from the list on the left
    - Set both numbers to 72
    - Click Save... and name it "resize for slide show", or whatever you
    want to call it
    - "Ok"
    - Pick this new batch from the "Batch" button menu
    - Set the format to JPEG/JFIF if it isn't already.
    - Press "Options" if you want to adjust or check the JPEG parameters
    - Do a "Edit"/"Select All" (Apple-A)
    - Press "Go"
    - A new folder will be created with all the images resized to 1024
    pixels wide at 72 DPI.
    ============
    You should definitely SAVE your original full-size images for use in iPhoto and prints, etc.
    And of course, you will probably want to delete those under-size versions from your iPhoto Library after you're finished.

  • Reducing photo size for email

    I'm stumped ... how do I reduce the size of photos for e-mail?

    If you are using a client supported by iPhoto you simply select the photo(s) and click email - one of the options is JPEG compression and another is photo size
    If you are using Apple Mail then you have a second selection available in the lower right hand corner of the mail create window
    If you are using a non supported client including a web browser then you must export the photos first reducing them as part of the export process

  • Optimal photos size for Ipad when exporting from lightroom.

    anyone using lightroom. what are you setting your photos at for the ipad. what is the optimal photo resolution for the ipad?

    Looks like Lightroom doesn't like your display profile.
    Try removing the profile (don't know how to do it on a Mac) to leave your display uncalibrated. Are the colors still different in Lightroom and Photoshop?

  • 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
    Ian
    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?

  • Most efficient photo size for iWeb 08

    I am building my photography web site in iWeb 08. I have many photos that were previously edited in Photoshop. Some are jpeg and others are psd files. I plan to resize and save all as a jpeg. Then I will import all photo files into iPhoto and use iPhoto as my source location for iWeb.
    Question: What size and resolution would be best for iWeb? I realize that iWeb will automatically resize the photos so I want my photos to be a little larger than that. I am trying to avoid importing huge photo files in to iPhoto when I smaller photo file is sufficient.

    First of all go to iWeb preferences and uncheck "Optimize images on import".
    To get a reasonably fast download time, its not a question of the size of the individual images but the sum total of all the images on a page. Some people put an incredible number of photos on a page and then wonder why it hangs in the browser.
    To quickly change file format, decrease file size and get a visual indication of download speed for an image you could try the freeware ImageWell.
    http://xtralean.com/IWOverview.html
    This application will also watermark your photos and will work in batch mode if you buy the shareware version.
    If you want to optimize your JPEGs, as well as all your website files, you can use HTML Optimizer to noticeably increase your website download speed.

    Publishing your site to a server, rather than .Mac, will also give you faster download and more storage space for your money.

  • Photo size for webpage

    What file settings and image sizing (eg- quality, resolution, colour space, pixels etc) should I use to upload photos to my webpage? I dont want to use the web galleries tool.
    Thanks

    I use resolution 72 which is really ugly if printed... I think watermark is distracting to the viewer
    Also, the Kodak "golden standard" 778x517 is often used for this purpose. While it's pretty close to 800x600, supposedly it displays a bit faster, especially true for slower systems
    As Rikk previously mentioned, the file export specification of "resolution" whatever the number (even 72) has no bearing on someone's ability to make a print from the file at whatever resolution they choose (within the limits of the pixel dimensions you make available); it's the pixel dimensions that will limit printed size/quality. Perhaps you meant that you use a jpeg "quality" setting of 72, which is indeed fairly low. That might even be set even lower to enable reasonably good web display yet discourage printing.
    As to use of watermarks, yes, I agree they can be distracting, but not necessarily. A watermark can be chosen that is a compromise--minimally distracting yet prominent enough to discourage some (maybe not many?) from making a print.
    As to the supposed (Kodak) "golden standard 778x517" : I wonder if you are thinking of 768 x 512? In any case, it's certainly not in any way a unique dimension that offers a special advantage in display speed. Sure it should load "a bit" faster than 800x600 since it contains a smaller number of pixels.

  • Photo Sizes for Video

    I am fairly new to Mac and to iLife so I apologize if this question is very basic. What is the best size of photo (in pixels) with which to make videos? I don't do live video tracks so the few movies I have made have been with photos that I put in iPhoto.
    I am using iPhoto and iMovie 09 (although version number says 8 and the product choices below say 8 as well).

    For a high definition movie, you need 1920x1080 or higher. For a standard definition movie or DVD, you need 720x480.
    As a practical matter, you don't have to worry about this if you are using iPhoto and a modern digital camera. When you drag your photo in from the photo browser, it will do these conversions for you automatically.
    However, if you are scanning old paper photos or slides, make sure you get enough resolution. In general, if you scann at a resolution that will look good on a printer, it will be more than enough for iMovie.
    I movie can handle photos at lower resolutions than this, for example, from older cell phone cameras. Just don't expect them to look great.

  • Photo sizes for upload

    Stupid question of the day:
    If I just drag and drop photos from either iPhoto or a camera memory card directly to a page in iWeb, does iWeb 'downsize' the photo so I'm not really posting a photo a few meg. in size? Or do I have to rescale/resize to reduce the photo prior to dragging it to an iWeb page to improve page loading times?
    Thanks for explaining how this works...
