Optimum size of photos either RAW or JPEG for book?

What is the smallest RAW size or JPEG size photo recommended when creating an extra large Aperture hardcover book?

You can even print from iPhoto 8.1.2, see:  Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars
The age you are linking to describes what iPhoto 9.5.1 can do, but that does not mean, that you cannot order books from older versions.versions cannot print

    What problem?
    You will have to be _a lot_ more specific if you'd like responsible feedback.
    I export thousands of TIFF and JPG files a week with no obvious faults.

  • Best practice for photo format: RAW+PSD+JPEG?

    What is the best practice in maintaining format of files while editing?
    I shoot in RAW and import into PS CS5. After editing, it allows me to save as various formats, including PSD and JPEG. PS says that if you want to re-edit the file, you should save as PSD as all the layers are maintained as-is. Hence I'd prefer to save as .PSD. However, in most cases, the end objective is to share the image with others and JPEG is the most suitable format. Does this mean, that for each image, its important to save it in 3 formats viz RAW, PSD and JPEG? Wont this increase the total space occupied tremendously? Is this how most professionals do it? Pls advice.

    Thanks everyone for this continued discussion in my absence over two weeks. Going through it i realize its helpful stuff. During this period, i downloaded Aperture trial and have learnt it (there's actually not much learning, its so incredibly intuitive and simple, but incredibly powerful. Since I used iphoto in the past, it just makes it easier.
    I have also started editing my pics to put them up on my photo site. And over past 10 days, here is the workflow I have developed.
    -Download RAW files onto my laptop using Canon s/w into a folder where i categorize and maintain all my images
    -Import them into Aperture, but letting the photos reside in the folder structure i defined (rather than have Aperture use its own structure)
    -Complete editing of all required images in Aperture (and this takes care of 80-90% of my pics)
         -From within Aperture open in PS CS5 those images that require editing that cannot be done in Aperture
         -Edit in CS5 and do 'Save', this brings them back to Aperture
         -Now I have two versions of these images in Aperture - the original RAW and the new .PSD
    -Select the images that I need to put up on my site and export them to a new folder from where i upload them
    I would be keen to know if someone else follows a more efficient or robust workflow than this, would be happy to incorporate it.
    There are still a couple questions I have:
    1 - Related to PS CS5: Why do files opened in CS5 jump up in terms of their file size. Any RAW  or JPEG file originally btn 2-10 MB shows up as minimum 27 MB in CS. The moment you do some edits and/or add layers, it reaches 50-150MB. This is ridiculous. I am sure I am doing something wrong.  Or is this how CS5 works with everyone.
    2 - After editing a file in CS by launching it from Aperture, I now end up with two versions in Aperture, the original file and the new .PSD file (which is usually 100MB+). I tried exporting the .PSD file to a folder to upload it on my site, and wasnt sure what format and size it would end up with. I got it as a JPEG file within reasonable filesize limits. Is this how Aperture works? Does Aperture allow you options of which format you want to save the file in?

  • I cannot download photos in raw and jpeg into aperture from canon 5d mark111

  • New photo not being showing up for book selection

    I wanted to add a photo to my book. I put it in my iPhoto file with all the photos I am putting into my book. When I go to the book, the new photo is not showing up with the other photos for me to select it. Anybody know why?
    Thanks!
    PM

    I put it in my iPhoto file
    How exactly are you doing that? If you are doing it in Finder, don't.
    Import the photo into iPhoto as you would normally import your photos. Then, just drag it into the ''Book" folder that is listed in the source pane on the left. You will then see it in the row of photos when you open that book file.

  • ITunes syncs duplicate photos (Identical RAW and JPEG)

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2398472
    I just don't want iTunes to sync photo duplicates. I had brought this up before and this is still an issue for me. I'd love to know if there is an advanced Mac user that can help solve this issue. By preference, I have my camera save JPEG and RAW simultaneously, which means each photo gets placed on my iPods twice. Photos take up 21.6 GB, could be almost half (some videos in the photo folders). I've submitted a feature request / suggestion, but I would like to resolve this sooner than later.
    I searched around, hoping to find some method on OS X of denying an application access to certain file types; haven't seen anything yet. Why is this not an issue for others? Am I really that much of an oddball for wanting both JPEG and RAW?

    Thanks--the stacking approach seems to mostly work OK; not sure why I didn't think of it. IA problem though is that setting the slider for the time between shots to zero doesn't actually group shots having the same capture time--it seems to group nothing! Kind of pointless. You thus have to set the minimum time to 1s, which can put too many photos in a stack if you've been blazing away. I think I'd consider this a bug.

  • Organizing raw and jpeg of same pic

    i shoot my photos in raw and jpeg formats with my canon camera.  when i tried to organize them in elements organizer i see the same picture twice.  how do i make my organizer cleaner by only showing the picture only once?  i think i had done it before when i had pse on trial period, but since i have just reformatted my computer and installed my pse and pre full version i don't remember how i did it before.  thank you very much for your help.

    thanks for your answer.  ever since i switched my point and shoot camera to my new canon camera i have been shooting in raw and jpeg mode so i have a ton of folders with pictures in both formats.  i will try your suggestion to see if that will help.  thanks again.

    Yes.
    I have clicked on it, selected “Stack” and all is now fine, with both versions of the photo readable by “unstacking”, using the side arrows !!

  • I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good.  Originals are excellent.  My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD.  I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

    I burned my first iDVD andpicture quality is not good.  Originals are excellent.  My photos are shot in raw or jpeg, both are not sharp when I view my DVD.  I viewed it on my 1080 dpi tv and my new apple computer.

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico:  http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie  as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast,  for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files.

    I'm using Panasonic LX3 with its RAW format (a supported RAW format since sometimes with iPhoto '09 already)
    When I choose to Photo Stream my images after import with iPhoto '11, it says "Photo Stream only supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF and RAW files."
    My files are RAW formats so why can't I photo stream it?!
    Is there something I can get around or need to wait for Apple to support this?!

    You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
    What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
    As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
    This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
    Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary  if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

  • Optimum size of Contacts photos?

    Anyone know what the default / optimum size would be for the photo on a contact to be sync'ed onto an iPhone? As in: 150x150 pixels or something? Address Book help doesn't mention it.

    If you set the contact using Entourage, Outlook, or even MobileMe it'll be a tiny little image...
    Here's what you need to do instead!
    In iPhoto set up a new album. I named mine "Contacts". In this album put all the photos you'd like to use for your contacts. I suggest 1200x1600 sized photos because that's what the iPhone photos are (so you'll get a consistent experience).
    In iTunes, sync this album to your iPhone.
    On the iPhone, go to Photos, and select a photo and push the button on the bottom left of the screen. Select "Assign to Contact".
    Once you've found the appropriate contact it will now appear full screen when you receive a call.
    Hope that helps!

  • Help with managing RAW and jpeg images and installing iphoto 9

    Greetings: Fist, let me make the neophyte apology and plea - I'm sorry, I should have come here first; I didn't and now I need your help.
    I have just purchased a macbook pro (still in its box) with updated software for my older imac os x. I have a number of Canon related photo editing programs (that came with my 40D digital SLR) and Adobe photo elements 6 for mac on the imac. Following some erroneous advice I have made a complete mess of the pictures folder's content by trying to delete images directly from that folder (there are now 6000+ images in the folder, many of which are duplicates(?). Most of the images are not tagged or labeled and some have been organized in/by iphoto (I corrupted the iphoto's library structure very early on by disrupting and editing its images - which might explain why iphoto had a difficult time 'finding' and displaying some of my photos). The picture folder now holds jpegs, smallRAW images (a Canon 40D photo format) and various duplicates of the orignal images - (some of the duplicates don't display as images, but as jpeg logos, which, when opened contain duplicate image or are completely black) The first time I downloaded RAW images into iphoto 6 the RAW data displayed as a black image. When shooting in smallRAW on the Canon 40D, the camera produces a jpeg image for 'easy viewing and editing in the camera' but it looks as though iphoto 6 made duplicates of the jpeg and the RAW data and stored them in different locals in the picture file. In an attempt to get the number of images down, I have been trying to delete them from the picture folder. (My daughters both download images rather indiscriminately in hopes of 'editing them on the computer' which inevitably does not happen) and there is a lot of experimental bracketing of images - shooting raw and different Camera formats etc., all of which need to be cleaned up before I proceed.
    Sometime in the not-too-distant future I would like to have iphoto 9 running on my imac with a clean library of images and a seamless way of downloading, editing and storing images (including the RAW data).
    The macbook pro is for my highschool-aged daughter, who will run iphoto 9 but not have any RAW image data on her system. She would like to copy some of the old iMac's images to put into her own iPhoto 9 library (probably using a disk, email or on-line photo service - ideally, I would like to be able to copy and remove a number of those images from my HD and give them to her for the macbook)
    A few questions and queries: Can I 'dis-able' iphoto 6, while I delete images (RAW and jpeg) from the picture file? (and is this even a good idea).
    Once I have edited the # of images down to a reasonable size, should I re-launch iphoto 6, rebuild the iphoto library and then update to iphoto 9 or skip v6 and rebuild with v9?
    And now for the 'how stupid is this guy question' - I really had planned to purchase an external backup; but between new the macbook, car repairs and braces it has never come to fruition. So, I have never properly backed up my images. What is the bare-bones, least expensive method for me to do this? I'd even consider burning everything to disks if that works. I can't afford the $ to purchase a new external hard drive right now (really). Budget is set aside mid-November for one though.
    I've been looking through some other discussion boards and it looks like I'm not the only one having RAW image issues. I know that shooting smallRAW with the companion jpeg is probably not helping things but I take my camera equipment on extended canoe trips - and we like the ease of on-the-spot editing with this format.
    Thanks in advance for your help - Mark

    Terence, Is the picture folder the primary source for the images or does that data reside somewhere else?
    If you gathered them there, then yes.
    I really don't want to have to go through 14,000 images looking for the pictures that I want to keep (or is that my only option?).
    Only you can decide what you want to keep.
    Why does the computer keep making copies of the images and filing them under date and events?
    That's how iPhoto works. It's not a problem usually, only you did go in there and make a problem, and now we are trying to fix it.
    You advise not to muck around in the picture file via preview,
    No I don't. I advise not to much around in the iPhoto Library Folder.
    but if I download images through a program other than iPhotos - image capture or adobe aren't I doing that anyway?
    Adobe what? Adobe is a software manufacturer who make many excellent applications, you need to be more precise. And no, if you import photos with Image Capture or “adobe” no you are not interfering with the iPhoto Library Folder.
    Can you edit a base image file somewhere and remove it from the HD without iphoto making a copy of it and storing it somewhere else?
    This is stunningly easy. Don't use iPhoto. Use an image editor.
    I want to look the negatives, decide which ones I want and throw the rest away. Can that be done or am I way off course?
    Yes, and iPhoto (or similar apps) make this really easy.
    Hook up your camera. Import the pics to iPhoto. Go through the imported pics. Trash the ones you don't want. Then process the ones you do. But you must learn how to use iPhoto to do this successfully
    To trash: put the pic in the iPhoto trash and empty it. This removes the file from iPhoto and the Hard Disk.
    Process it: If you want to use another editor: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Workflow with raw for editing (offline) and JPEG for viewing

    Hello,
    Up to this point I have been using both Lightroom and Aperture. I do my editing in Lightroom, my raw files are in indexed in Lightroom's catalog. I then export to JPEGs and store them in Aperture for viewing, (internet) export, archiving etc.
    I want to switch to a Lightroom-only workflow, so I have both my raw files and the JPEGs in one application, to minimize maintenance (keywords, collections, etc).
    The only issue I cannot seem to work around (and also exists in the current workflow) is that if at some point after the initial JPEG export I reedit a photo, I have to reexport, reimport, add to my stack (different versions of the image), update keywords etc etc.
    One obvious solution is not to export to JPEGs and keep the raws always available. But this is not local-space efficient.
    Any ideas how to handle this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi ahalatsis,
    I understand the desire for having copies readily viewable outside Lightroom without having to export every time you wanna look at something. I recommend using a publishing service for accomplishing this goal, if not Lr's native hard drive publishing, then my (Rob Cole) TreeSyncPublisher or Jeffrey Friedl's Collection Publisher.
    Note: you can take raws offline after publishing, but they must remain in the catalog for editing...
    Whether to re-import jpegs upon publishing is an interesting question - I don't do it, in order to keep Lightroom "originals only", so if I see a photo in Lightroom, I can edit it and publish it without thinking. The downside: I have to use other programs for dealing with those exported jpegs (I use ACDSee for that, among others). So, some people like to re-import exported jpegs, and just be careful not to edit the jpegs - personal preference.
    There are some (relatively few) souls who prefer to edit raws, export jpegs back to catalog, then remove raws from catalog and archive them "just in case" (editing jpegs from there on out, if need be). While it's doable, and there are some plusses (e.g. making minor tweaks to such jpegs is very fast compared to raws), I can't recommend it, since it's too limiting, and most people shoot raw to be less limited (for example, re-editing 2003 raws using current (2012) process version).
    To be clear: photos do not have to be online for viewing (or editing of metadata) in Lightroom - that's what the "lib" previews are for. And you can even create "smart" previews and then photos don't even have to be online for editing in develop module (or exporting/printing at reduced quality) either. They do have to remain in the catalog though, even if offline.
    And to be doubly clear: if you don't have enough space on internal drive(s) for photo files, you can just put them on a big external drive in the first place, and never move them.
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • RAW to JPEG export in Aperture 3

    I've imported RAW + JPEG image pairs from my camera, and selected the RAW image as the master. I understand that Aperture uses the JPEG for display purposes. My question is this: when I export (it would be the version rather than the master), as, for example, when I want to send the file to a photo lab for print processing, is Aperture working from the JPEG file it imported, or from the master (RAW)? I've made some adjustments to the white balance and lighting. I noticed that when I export the image after the adjustment, that the JPEG file is the same size as the original JPEG file that was imported as part of the pair (in this case, about 2.5 mb). I bumped up the image quality for the export, which results in a larger JPEG file that is exported (9.3 mb). What I really want to know is, is Aperture just expanding my 2.5 mb JPEG (making a larger file, but still from a lossy format), or is it creating a new JPEG file of larger size from the RAW master (and therefore, less loss)? I hope my question makes sense. I can't find any information on this in the program documentation.

    Meaning I dont know the utility to import 2 files at the begining, except using more space.
    If somebody can explain the advantage, it will be nice BR Richard
    The main advantage to shoot and import RAW + JPEG is for the processed JPEG from your camera.
    If your camera has the ability to capture say Black & White and you grab some images that look good in camera, then when you import both into Aperture, you will have that B & W JPEG as well as the full color information RAW. If you like the JPEG enough, then the work is done. If not, you can use the full color data in the RAW and create your own B & W image using Aperture's tools.
    The same applies if you like the camera's processing for color, filters, etc. It is a matter of convenience really, not born of necessity.
    Hope that helps.
