Original size in web-gallery

When I send my photoes to my webgallery they change in size.
Is there a way where I can keep the large files in the web-gallery? My friens want to be able to print the photoes..

It appears that if a photo's dimensions are larger than 3054 pixels in the maximum dimension it will be resized down to that size when uploaded to a web gallery. For photos with sizes smaller than that the only change is in the file size which is equivalent to Photoshop saving it at a jpg quality level of 8 or 8 out of 12. It would still print OK for all but the very large prints.
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.

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.

Optimum Size for Web Gallery

In trying to set up galleries that have quick view time, I'm trying to follow iPhoto advise and use a Medium sized photo for Web Galleries. iPhoto help sez:+When you send, print, or publish a photo from your iPhoto library, you need to choose the right size+. For me that would be Medium size.
However I can find no place to determine size. How can I choose the size I want to use?

smidi:
I believe that statement pertains to situation where you can control the size of the file to be used. However, in publishing a Web Gallery iPhoto determines the size. If you don't select the option to have viewers download the photos then the image size is 800 x 600 pixels. If you selected the download option then the full sized file is uploaded for viewer to download.
For emailing, if you use Mail, you will get a window which lets you select the size of image/file to send. For printing you want to use the largest size you can so you get the max resolution available.

Aperture to .Mac Web Gallery Help please. Urgent !!

Hi, I having been going round in circles trying to figure this out -
Q1) I cannot find a way to update to my published .Mac web gallery from Aperture(2.1)
When I select the versions that I want to add to the gallery I drag them into the Web
Gallery album in the projects inspector and synchronize the gallery to update, but
only the Master images are added to the published web gallery, not the versions !?
Q2) Also, when I originally created the Web Gallery album Aperture imported my entire
project (All masters, complete stacks, vers etc) but somehow only published the versions
I had selected for publishing to a .Mac Web Gallery. Why has aperture included the Masters,
complete stacks etc in the Web Gallery album ?
If someone could help with this, particularly Q1, it would be much appreciated as I have
a client waiting to see more versions which I cannot manage to add to the existing
published Web Gallery for that client.
Thx

Hi Ernie, thx for responding.
I have tried everything, but same result - Aperture only publishes the unedited Master, not the version with Adjustments. When I originally published images to the .Mac web gallery I disabled all downloads, as the gallery is intended for client review & selection only.
Some further questions if you don't mind.. Am I doing the right thing in dragging versions from the project to the Web Gallery album (in projects inspector)? When I do that I see that Aperture copies both the Master & version to the web gallery album (they are both visible in the web gallery album) The problem is that only the Master is published to the .Mac web gallery (which i don't want), and not the edited Version(which I do want) This worked ok the first time around when I created the web gallery album and published it to .Mac galleries, however I did notice that the web gallery album in Aperture contains the entire contents of the project (Masters, complete stacks & versions etc)
The Aperture manual is very vague on adding new images to a web gallery album and publishing them to an existing >mac Web gallery. It says that this can be done, but not how to do so. I may be missing something simple and obvious, but the Aperture user manual is really not sufficient in this area. Any further ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thx again.

Movies to Web Gallery from email

I've looked around and there are some posts on this matter but nothing that can seem to answer my particular question.
I have a G4 PowerBook so iMovie 08 won't work with me. I understand that if I enable email uploads to my Web Gallery I may be able to email a movie to it. I have a 7mb movie but it won't go. The attachment allowance is now 20mb on the email. Is there a maximum size for Web Gallery? Or is the maximum size only an issue if the move is emailed?
Alternatively, is there another way to achieve what I want to do? I have heard that it's possible to upload it straight from iPhoto, is this true? I can't try yet as I'm in work and need to wait until I get home.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

It's not really an iWeb issue.

Web gallery file size...do I have this straight?

I've read through the posts so far. I'm new to LR (waiting for my package to arrive, so still using the trial).
I set up a collection of 57 photos. Most were raw, the largest being 167,866 KB. (kinda large) I tried to upload from LR (thinking maybe it doesn't work in the trial version as I kept getting errors of one kind or another?) and found the total of the files was over 176,000,000 KB. Hmmm. So, I went back into PhotoShop CS3 (after another program that usually will batch convert files didn't work) and saved each with 800 ppi maximum on a side, and saved them all for the web. (That took a little time, but not too bad.) Then I had to import the new .jpg folder, and re-edit each photo to maximize their exposure and such.
Must I do that every time I want to post a web gallery? In other words, I'll have to keep the original (larger) files, and make a smaller set for web plublishing, and convert everything to a .jpg file as well? (I suppose there's no sense in filling my server with photos that are much larger than necessary, but it seems like a lot of extra work.)
Also notice, if I have to start again (it is taking a long time, but then it's my first attempt), the collection I've saved has all the Identity plates and information I've typed in going back to Lightroom defaults, and the order of the photos goes back to random (after I've meticulously tried to put them in order). Hoping this is just because I'm using the trial again, but no way to know until the box comes in a few days (I hope).
The feature that caused me to make this purchase is the ability to do these galleries. I've been looking at templates, modifying them, and working on doing this, for quite some time now. When I saw it's just part of LR...WOW! I did get excited! What a useful and wanted feature!!!
It's more than one question, I know, but I've so many more! Will the learning every become adequate to do what I dream? (This last question is rhetorical, by the way.)
OMGoodness! I thought I saved the gallery in the Collections...clicked on it, and no pics, nothing I did (for the second time) seems to be anywhere. I have a LONG way to go in learning to use this tool correctly! Arghhhh! ... Last revision...went back into the folder, and everything is there. Wow! Guess I don't need it in a Collection. Awesome!

These files were scanned. I'm sorry, I forgot that. They're old pics. Some were in .jpg format, but most were in .psd format. I converted them to smaller files in the Save for Web Device in Photoshop. My next gallery will be shots from my Nikon D200, and I checked...the files are about the same size as yours. These scanned files were considerably bigger as the film was pretty old. Did quite a few of them previously to last night, and used a dpi (or is it ppi) of higher than 300 I did the last ones in. File size varied from 1,201 KB to 16.765 KB. (That bigger one was a 5X8 school shot.)
Will it normally send the files to the web full size and then just use the dimensions specified in the program? I have to check how much space I have on the server, but I do have another gallery I want to make, and I found a great plugin (here on the forum) to add mp3 music to the gallery. (I know, more space, but love it!) I figured 800 pixels on the longest side would be plenty adequate for viewing, and the gallery parameters are smaller, so that's fine.
One thing I don't understand, it asked me to place the files in "photos," but I don't think it uploaded a folder of "photos" to the web. However, it's obvious the files went. I was afraid if I used the export, I was going to have to upload the folder with my photo files to the server, but I think it handled that. I hope I get a user manual with my boxed product. It can't come soon enough! LOL
By the way, I successfully posted the gallery tonight. It's really great, and my son loved it. I am SO thrilled with this program!!!

Web Gallery - image file size

When I upload my images to the Web Gallery the file size of the image is greatly reduced. From 1.8MB file to about 450K - for the download or subscribe options. The image size is not changed, but the file appears to be more heavily compressed. Has anybody else seen this? If so, have you found a way to upload the original file size so subscribers will get your original file?

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you got an answer to this question. I am desperately trying to figure out how to post my pictures in their ORIGINAL SIZE to my web gallery.
Thanks!

Web gallery picture sizes

How can I customize the size of the pictures that I upload to the web gallery?

When iPhoto published a web gallery the file is resized to 800 x 600 pixels for the slideshow and individual display. If you select the option to allow visitors to download the photos the full sized, pixel dimension, image is uploaded as well as the 800 x 600 display version. The full version will, however, be reduced in file size which is equivalent to a Photoshop jpeg quality level of around 9 of of 12. The pixel dimensions are the same as the original file.
Is there some other size you want to have uploaded?
Do you Twango?

How do I get my web pages back to original size? My fonts are all too large and keep reverting after I change them back!

That has not worked. I do it and still it reverts. Isn't there a way to tell Firefox to just go back to default settings?

Size and resolution of web gallery

Hello,
I have inserted a web gallery via a web widget and would like to adjust the size of the slideshow thumbnail and resolution of the images within the slideshow, is this possible?
The slideshow thumbnail is quite small and I understand that you can open the thumbnails for the enlarged images; however, I would like to enlarge the thumbnails by 1.5 times if possible.
Regarding the resolution, it seems like the images within the web gallery are pixelated, is there a way to fix this?
Thank you for your help,
grodr

grodr:
Another solution would be to add one of the photos in the web gallery to your page, size it to your specifications and then link it to the web gallery's URL in the Inspector/Link pane.

Lightroom Flash Web Gallery Size limitations

I just created a flash web gallery with about 250 images and I can view it fine when open the webpage locally from my computer. But when I upload the folders to my server, the images are taking forever to load, if they even finish loading.
Is this expected? I'm using "large" thumbnail and preview sizes with Quality set to 70.

Html web Gallery: Cell Number Size

I need to determine how to alter the size of the Cell Numbers in the :standard" Lightroom Web Gallery layout.
The numbering is too large to be clearly seen in the upper left hand corner of the cell i;e the thumbnails cover a portion of the numerals.
I'm fairly certain that my client is not going to appreciate this "feature".
How does one change the font size...either in the Lightroom Web Gallery Mode or using HTML...in Dreamweaver or otherwise?
I' will appreciate any help on this.
Thank you

I don't know of a way to influence the size of the cell numbers from within LR.
From outside LR, you have two options:
1) If you want to change the number for a specific web gallery you exported:
Open file [your_webgallery]\resources\css\master.css with a text editor
Find the section ".itemNumber" and change the value of "font-size:" from 40px to something smaller
2) If you want to make the change valid for new HTML web galleries you create:
Open file "\Shared\webengines\default_html.lrwebengine\resources\css\master.css" under your LR installation directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.2 for WinXP)
Do the same edit as above
Note that option 2 has to be repeated after every installation of (new versions) of LR.

Ability to download full size originals from web gallery.

Unlike the pros that sell their stuff online and are concerned about people downloading usable photos, I shoot a lot of community and family events and would like a way to allow folks to download full size printable photos from the web gallery. This would keep me from getting hammered for printable files, which of course are larger than the email attachment limits for most people and thus require a sneaker-net or snail-mail delivery.
Specifically, I'd like to see a gallery similar to what we have today, with thumbnails zoomable to larger pics that are still web quality. These larger pics would have a link on them to allow downloading of a full size printable image. All of this would preferably be generated and uploaded automatically using the gallery generation interface we have today.

Dave,
I imagine that one issue that would have to be dealt with would be some kind of protection scheme. I post galleries on PBase, but not my higher-resolution "originals". PBase does, however, have a two-tiered protection scheme, password-protection, and non-public protection, so that if you post high-resolution files you can do so without the fear of people downloading them without some kind of permission. A lot of copyright marks can easily be cropped and, with a high enough resolution file, can be used without the info for print or whatever.
Anyway, you might want to include some kind of protection with the ability to download high-res files.

Pictures that are edited are not updated to iweb/web gallery..uses original

Need some help...when i edit a picture and save it to iphoto, the new picture will not upload to iweb or web gallery.. it uses the original picture. Any ideas how to solve this issue?!
thanks

Try delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder.
Also, Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library using the settings found here:

Web Gallery Maximum Photo Size

After evaluating the .mac service, I came to learn that the photos I import into iPhoto08 and subsequently upload to a .mac web gallery are modified (downsized/compressed). See the following link for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1071. I would imagine that for most people, limiting the picture size to 6 megapixels probably isn't a big deal. However, in my case I have a Canon 5D camera, use Photoshop CS3 to edit my photos, and use an Epson 3800 Pro to print my photos. I take great care to ensure that my photos are of the highest quality. When I share them with family/friends, I want them to have these very same high quality photos that I worked on. Given the fact that you are paying for space with a .mac account (10 GB), I'm having a hard time understanding why Apple forces this picture size limitation. Why does Apple care how big my photos are? Does anybody else feel the same way?
As a point of comparison, I've been happily using Smugmug for the past couple years to share photos with family/friends. I pay $40/year, have unlimited storage/downloads, Smugmug renders 7 different viewing resolutions (generated on their server, not on my harddrive), does not alter my photos in any way, and enables my family/friends to order prints.
Regards,
Greg

Why does Apple care how big my photos are? Does anybody else feel the same way?
This is a user forum - it is not a place to post questions for Apple. It is NOT a place for RANTS - if you want answers from Apple you must ask Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback. If you just want to RANT there are lots of places on the internet to do that
Do you have a question that any of the users here can assist you with?
Basically at this time I'd say that the answer for you is not to use iPhoto galleries - they are a very nice consumer tool - if they are not up to your quality standard then you are free to use any solution you wish
No One here can CHANGE anything - they may be able to assist you with using iPhoto is you have quesitions
