Original (Full Quality) Bug - Lores Images Being Offered For Download

I just discovered today that iWeb uses 800x600 images for download even though Original (Full Quality) is selected for the album and a 1200x1600 version of the file is available.
I got around this by selecting Large (Higher Quality). This actually offers the 1200x1600 images I had intended.
I wonder what will happen, however, if I start offering even larger images. What is the highest res that the Large setting allows? And has anyone figured out a different way around this Original bug? Obviously, iWeb doesn't think Original (Full Quality) means what I think it means... :/

If you want to offer the very large images for downloading you can do it this way:
1 - put zipped copies of the photos on the server.
2 - add a small thumbnail sized version on the page and add a text base hyperlink, i.e. "Click to download", below it and set it to point to an external page.
3 - for the external page URL use the URL to the zipped file. If you're using MobileMe you can put the zipped file into the Pictures folder and the URL to use would be:
http://homepage.mac.com/yourMMe_Account_name/.Pictures/filename.zip"
When the visitor clicks on the download hyperlink it will automatically download. No loading into the browser window necessary.
The page would load quickly and if you made any changes to the page the large image files would not have to be republished along with the page.
Of course this will not work with a photo page. You'd have to add the thumbnails to a blank or other type of page.

  • IWeb 08 and Photo Download Size not sticking to Original (Full Quality)

    I am using iWeb 08 to post personal webpages and photo galleries but even when I select *"Original (Full Quality)"* under Photo Download Size in the inspector it slips off full size and make smaller pictures. I almost always want to offer full resolution image to my friends and family. Is there a way to make this work more reliably? Is it being fixed?

    I found in this iWeb test pertained more to the image pixel dimensions than the jpg compression level of the downloadable file as you found out.
    Happy New Year
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Is the preview seen when capturing the original full quality

    This is a very basic question I know - but ...
    when you are capturing footage, is the preview shown in the Log and Capture window using the original full quality or is it applying some compression by the preferrences selected?
    I am capturing from a BetacamSP tape and the quality looks crap - so wondering if it is from my capturing or the original tape.

    Hi Sara, I do a LOT of video for the web and computer display. I guess the first thing I would say is don't panic. And don't pay any attention to the capture window-- it IS only a reference.
    To make yourself feel better, immediately export one of your captures to either 640 x 480 or 320x240 QT in the codec desired and take a look at it. In QT Pro, there's a setting somewhere to play at best quality or somesuch. Be sure to turn that on.
    You'll see that your clip looks just fine. It might even surprise you how good it does look...

  • Why am I being charged for downloads that didnt download???

    Three different movies were charged to my account.....but not one of them finished downloading and I couldnt watch them in full....I would just start getting into the movie (which all three were documentaries about the government and their lies) and then boom!!!! Movie stops downloading and disappears!!!??? But the, one movie did work, it was the Extremely close blah blah blah movie but , funny thing is I NEVER CLICK IT TO BEGIN WITH!!!????

    You've wandered into a forum which has nothing to do with your problem, and in any case these forums are user-to-user - you're not talking to Apple, and no-one on here can help you.
    You should contact iTunes Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column and then 'iTunes Store' in the second column. In the third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.

  • Ilife disc not being recognised for download any ideas?

    I bought a Mac box set to bring my laptop up to date, so it now runs on mac os x 10.6.
    Everything was going fine until i got to the Ilife 9.0.3 disc, its not recognising.
    I hear my hard drive churning at it a little then it just spits it out. I had no problems downloading the Iwork upgrade and the operating system upgrade, so i dont think its the hard drive.
    Any ideas folks?

    Must be defective. Contact the seller or Apple and request a replacement disc.

  • I don't see CC (2014) as being available for download.

    The CC icon on my mac desktop says everything is up to date and I know that the newest version is now available. Is Adobe rolling out the release in some manner? Whenever I try to force an update, it shoots me to the CC window on my desktop and nothing happens.

    OK. I figured out how to upgrade. 1st I quit the CC app on my Mac and when I restarted it, all the available updates were there ready for downloading.

  • Please HELP! images being resized

    Hi, Ive produced a small website using iWeb.
    The website is NOT intended for the web but to go on disk to post to clients.
    The main point of the disc is they choose images from the browser then click 'download' to get at the hires version.
    In iWeb I have chosen that the download version is in it's 'Original (full quality)' state which is 7"x7" @300dpi (around 1mb file) - which was originally imported from an album in Apertuure.
    The problem is it's nowhere near that size! iWeb is making up a different size and screwing up the compression as well!!
    What am I missing? I just want the client to have access to the hires version I originally gave it.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    iWeb is doing what it is supposed to do.
    The images on a webpage are not for downloading but for illustrating the page.
    Here's the solution:
    Zip each large image and make a note of the file size.
    Then store these zipped images in a folder on your server.
    The URL to a file is like:
    http://web.me.com/UserID/folder/image_01.zip
    Then in iWeb type some text indicating the zip file (with the file size), select the text and make a link to an EXTERNAL PAGE, being your zipped file.
    When you visitor clicks the link, the zip file will download. Your visitor has to open it and preceed as intended.
    Other solution:
    Instead of putting the files on the server yourself, select the text as before and make a LINK TO FILE on your computer.
    iWeb will upload the zipped files on your behalf.

  • 720 p50 MXF doesn't playback on full quality

    I had troubles with log&transfer so I bought Raylight for mac and it worked just fine until...
    I have (shot with panasonic hpx555) DVCPRO HDi50 clips, so I adjusted the sequence setting based on these clips and some slow mo clips 720p50 that I'm using on the same sequence. When on pause the quality of the 720p50 clips is perfect but on playback the video looks like its pixelated.
    I tried these slow mo clips on a new sequence and adjusted the settings thinking it will solve the problem but it didn't. I tried different settings on raylight but stil getting the same pixellated playback.
    Do You have any information why wouldn't these clips (DVCPRO HD 720 p50) playback on full quality.
    P.S. I apologize for threadjack, not on purpose!

    Where is this footage stored? Faster drives take care of this. But regardless,
    #2 Blurry Playback
    Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
    ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL BROADCAST MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
    The Canvas shows you what happens after the codec you are working with has been applied. The Viewer shows you the material in its native format. Once you drop the footage from the Viewer into the timeline, it inherits the attributes of the sequence. If it is a DV sequence, the footage will render out as DV.
    1. Disable overlays on the Canvas.
    2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline).
    Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or broadcast monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

  • Converting to Quicktime Full Quality DV ...Why so long?

    In an effort to avoid the Audio Encoding problem, I've been trying to take everyone's advice by converting the iMovie to a full quality DV but on my G4, for a 90 minute project it was compressing for about 5 hours and even then it was still displaying that there was 742 minutes to go and still that figure was rising. If anyone out there has got a minute to explain why this is so I'd be very appreciative.
    Just don't get it? I highlighted 17 minutes of the project out of curiousity and shared that to Full Quality and that just took about 34 minutes!
    Borrowed the work G5 DP 2GHZ and that seems faster at doing the task ( doing it now actually and it's up to 220 minutes and rising and less than a quarter of the way there) but this is still longer than exporting the project to the camera and then re-importing it to a new project. That's a guaranteed 3 hours and then it's less than 7 hours from encoding to burnt disc....no audio encoding problems. iDVD breezes through that task. (By the way, about 2 and a half hours on the G5 (wish I owned one)

    Thanks so much for responding guys....
    Len, yep camera is definitely recording in 16-bit.
    John.... nothing HD here, all DV files. Yes plenty of free space on the HFS+ formatted drive.
    Yes, there is lots to render in this project but when I singled out say 10 minutes of a segment that's full on slow-motion and sepia (with an mp3 under it too) and then sent that for sharing to full quality DV, it did it in 20 minutes or less.
    So in my head I'm thinkin... 20 minutes to do 10 minutes of footage, 180 minutes to do the full 90 minute project.
    Actually tried it with the identical project on work's G5 (same machine you have), and it still took about 7 hours overnight. And plenty of free space on its hard drive too.
    I've done so many experiments over the last week with different discs, methods of exporting and importing, what gets the stalled Audio Encoding treatment and what doesn't and results on two different computers. I think I should make a separate post and report on my findings ( for what its worth) before I forget it all. Might help someone.
    One of my best results was just opening the show package contents of the project, clicking on Shared Movies/iDVD/ and then just dragging the .Mov into a new iMovie project . Once again takes some time on the G4 and less on the G5 but for some reason the quality was slightly better than the results I got from the sharing to Full Quality DV. Noticed it at the beginning with the titles. There was bleeding in the letters on the Full Quality DV but it was nice and tight on the dragging the .Mov method. This is even before it was burnt to DVD.
    John I can't believe how fast that G5 DP 2GHZ goes through the video encoding process. It's like almost real time. Do you think that even on the Mac Pro 2GHZ it would be as fast or nearly as? I should think about updating soon.
    Thanks again

  • Actual Size (Full Quality) photos being e-mailed at reduced sizes! Why?

    Yesterday I e-mailed six photos to a party in Nova Scotia. Because of the large file size of the photos--ranging from 6.7 MB to 9.2 MB--I opted to e-mail each photo individually. In iPhoto I chose the Actual Size (Full Quality) size setting for each photo.
    Imagine my surprise when I discovered that every photo was e-mailed at a reduced size. For example, the indicated attachment size for the 6.7 MB photo was only 4.6 MB, and for the 9.2 MB photo only 6.1 MB. This is the first time I have noticed photos being e-mailed at reduced sizes even when the Actual Size (Full Quality) size setting has been chosen.
    I would appreciate knowing what is going on here and what I need to do to remedy this situation.
    Bob

    Terence,
    The problem remains unresolved. I followed your recommended procedure and got the same bizarre result!
    I selected in iPhoto the same 9.2 MB photo I e-mailed to Nova Scotia yesterday, clicked on the Email icon, and selected Actual Size (Full Quality). The Mail 1 Photo window correctly showed the estimated size as 9.2 MB. I clicked on the Compose Message button which took me to the E-mail message window. I verified that the Image Size indicated at the lower right hand corner of the window was Actual Size. Interestingly enough, the Message Size indicated in the lower left hand corner of the window was 8.2 MB. Somehow my photo size was reduced 1 MB in the process of it being prepared for E-mail delivery! I then e-mailed the photo to myself. When I opened it up it showed 1 Attachment, 6.1 MB. This is the exact same result I got when I originally e-mailed this photo to Nova Scotia.
    My primary concern here is that the quality of these photos is likely being compromised by this size reduction phenomenon which I have not previously noticed. I'm wondering whether this is a problem with iPhoto '09, Version 8.1 (415) to which I just recently upgraded from iPhoto '06. For your information I have also long employed iPhoto Library Manager (Currently version 3.5.5).
    Perhaps you can try this same procedure and see if you get the same goofy result. I'll be eagerly awaiting your reply and advice on how to resolve this issue.

  • Aspect ratio when exporting full quality -- is this a bug?

    Hi,
    I'm new to iMovie. I'm really enjoying playing around with it and think it's a really nice tool and very intuitive. But there's one thing that is bothering me. I'm working with 16:9 aspect ratio (Widescreeen) as the project type which corresponds to how the movies were recorded (a Canon MVX4i or Optura 600 in the USA I think). Everything works fine until I try to export in full quality format (using Export). The .dv file only plays back in 4:3 aspect ratio. I tried using the Expert settings, with 16:9 set and both PAL and NTSC but QuickTime and Preview still only see the movie in 4:3 aspect. If I understand correctly, the aspect ratio is just a flag that is set somewhere.
    Is this a bug or am I missing something? I don't have QT Pro by the way?
    One more question: in expert settings for DV Export settings, does anyone have a recommendation for what I shold pick for DV Format, and Scan mode?
    Thanks very much in advance,
    David
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hi David,
    This isn't entirely unique to DV. But in simplistic terms what happens is that the widescreen footage that you capture with your camera is the same resolution as square screen. The number of pixels (the dots that make up the picture) for PAL, which is the format used in Portugal I believe, is 720 x 576.
    The pixels are squashed into a kind of oblong shape but then when played on widescreen kit the pixels become square causing the picture to stretch sideways. When you view the footage in QT it simply shows the picture as is - meaning that it outputs the picture as 720x576 with the oblong display.
    However, when you view the footage in iMovie there's a flag in the file that tells iMovie that the footage is wide and therefore to stretch it accordingly.
    There's a differing opinion of whether this display difference in QT is a bug or a feature. As Dan says, if you want to display widescreen footage in QT you're better off exporting a widescreen QT movie using the expert settings:
    From within iMovie...
    - Select File --> Export from the menu
    - In the Quicktime section choose Compress Movie For "Expert Settings"
    - Click the Share button
    - In the save dialog box that pops up Select "Movie to QuickTime Movie" in the Export section
    - Click Option...
    - In the Movie Settings dialog box click on settings
    - Select DV - PAL from the compression type
    - Keep the Frame Rate at Current
    - In the Compressor settings choose your Quality
    - Set the scan mode to Interlaced
    - Set the Aspect Ratio to 16:9 ( this is the bit that tells QT to play in widescreen)
    - Click OK
    - In the sound section click the Setting button
    - In the sounds settings dialog box set the Format to Linear PCM
    - Set the channels to Stereo (L R)
    - Set the Rate to 48.000kHz
    - Set the Sample Rate Converter settings to Quality Normal and the Linear PCM Settings to a sample size of 16 bits.
    - Uncheck all the other options (Little Endian, Floating Point and Unsigned)
    - Click OK
    - Uncheck the Prepare for Internet Streaming box
    - Click OK and set a destination for your file.
    - Click save to compress the file.
    The resulting file that is created above should now show in QT as widescreen. However you should bear in mind that you should work off the raw DV file rather than this new created one in iMovie. As a rule of thumb you should be thinking a little bit about the output media of the file. So for example if your final output medium is DVD then you can continue to work in iMovie and iDVD without problem. If you want to create a QT file for viewing on your computer then it's advisable to create a seperate QT file for this pupose.
    If you'd like to know a little more about the way aspect ratios works here's some links for you:

    World easiest explanation of anamorphic 16:9
    Hope this makes a little more sense now and sorry if I've covered stuff you already know. Hopefully this information will be of use to you but post back if you need more help.
    Cheers.

  • BUG: Last Image of Large Number Being Moved fails

    This has happened several times in organizing some folders.  Moving over 100 images at a time, it seems that one image near the end fails - I get the screen that Lightroom can't move the image right now.  It's always just one image.  I can move it on it's own just a second later and it works just fine.
    While the Move operation is being fixed, consider that it could go way faster than it does now if the screen didn't have to be refreshed after each file has been moved.  I can see the value of the refresh if it's just a few images being moved, but for a large number, the refresh isn't helpful anyhow.
