Photo Download Size

All photos were brought into the web page by using the iWeb "Media" button and navigating to the iPhoto library.
Then, in iWeb, I go to *Inspector > Photos*
Under "Photo Sharing," I set the Photo Download Size to "Original (Full Quality)."
Then, I test my web page. The downloads are roughly 400K. As a sanity check, I go to iPhoto and export. As expected, the sizes are roughly 4 Meg.
What am I doing wrong? What is it that I don't understand?

Actually, the issue is even worse. As I indicated in the first post, I'm unable to allow full-sized downloads. Further, for those photo pages where I do not wish to allow any downloads at all, I'm unable to turn off the downloading capability! I discussed these issues with an Apple tech and he duplicated my results. He's now investigating to determine if there is any workaround.

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.

Avoid photo download option

I am facing this problem:
When publishing a photo website with iWeb there seems to way to avoid the 'download' (phot) option!
What I want is to show pictures but not to offer a download. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thorge

If you're putting the photos in a Photo page or Album page layout go to the Inpsector/Photos/Photos pane and set the Photo Download Size to "None":
However, that won't stop someone from taking a screenshot of the photos. There's no way to stop that but it will only give them a small version of the photo that won't be much good for printing. If that's a concern you can add a watermark to the photos. Go to MacUpdate.com and search for "watermark" to get a list of potential application candidates.

Photo Sharing - Download Size?

May I first say what a great upgrade this has been... I know from reading other comments that it hasn't been the same for everyone but it was very simple to get my site updated and be working apart from one thing... here is my problem.
I've made a load of photo pages by dragging photos out of the media inspector panel within iWeb 08 from images that are hi-res (2272 × 1704 pixels) within iPhoto 08. When I select the photos to be shared in the inspector panel (second button from left) I select "Photo Sharing - Download Size? - Original (Full Quality)... all good up to yet... I publish my site and when I go to the images online and download them they have been resized to 1920 x 1440 pixels.
Why?

'Optimize photos' is enabled by default. I think is a good thing since my domain file was reduced in size after upgrade from 3.5GB to 1.6GB. But if you really want original images to publish then you need to turn off 'Optimize photos' in prefs and then add photos.
Best,
Scott

When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
1360 x 1360 = 1.0
790 x 640 = 1.23
2048 x 1366 = 1.5
An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing. The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.

Bridge CS6 photo downloader freezes and will not allow import.

Hello,
I'm running Windows 8 and CS6. Whenever I try and import images from an photo card, Photo Downloader freezes. Only way to get out of dialogue box is to X out. I cannot import or set up default folders, file names, etc.. This never happened to me on earlier versions of Bridge. Any ideas? Happy to provide more specifics if helpful or relevant.

Do you have another reader? USB dedicated to specific size is most reliable.
If not you can try from camera, although this is the most error prone.
Also, it is recommended by many that you do not delete and format card in computer, but this should be done in camera each time.

No Advanced Dialogue Option in Stnadard Photo Downloader

In my old Photoshop Elements 6, I could go to File --- Get Photos----Camera Card Reader and it would access my card reader and show me all the files on it so I could choose which ones I wished to download. This was done by clicking on an Advanced Dialogue link. Now I have PSE 8. The Help Section tells me to go to the standard photo downloader dialogue box and click on the advanced dialogue option to be able to do this. However, my standard dialogue box doesn't have anyplace to click for "advanced dialogue" Help! I want to be able to view which pictures to download like I did in Elements 6. Any thoughts?

Remove the photo download option - Can it be this easy?

So I've been using the html snippet to disable the download button. While I was fixing some stuff tonight. I stumbled upon this.
Go into you photo and click the inspector - blue "i" at the bottom tool bar. A little window will open up. Click on the third icon, a little picture. Click Photos. Select "None" in the photosharing download size drop down menu. The Download option disappears in the album. I just tried it and it works! The download option in the published site is gone.
Check it out:

I still have some text saying that the download option is disabled. I'll leave that there for a bit.

Photo Downloader advanced dialog not displayed completely

Hello,
I use PSE10 and would use this application during traveling on a laptop (Compaq Presario C700). The Adobe website shows as a requirement
Color monitor with 16-bit color video card
1024x576 display resolution
The laptop I'm using fullfills these requirements, the maximal display resolution is 1280 x 800 pixel
When I start the photo downloader to import images from my digital cameras memory card, the Elements Organizer Photo Downloader dialog appears as expected. Then I switch to Advanced Dialog to select only the required image files. But I can't download the images, as the buttons are not visilble, they are below the visible area of my display. The dialog has a size of 976 x 830 pixel (checked on a differenc computer) and can not be resized to a smaller hight. So the button "get media" can not be pressed to start the download.
I checked for updates to see if I miss some bugfixes, but I'm told that no updates are available
How can I use the Advanced Dialog of Photo Downloader from Photoshop Elements 10 to select the images I want to transfer to my computer?
Wolfgang
PS: OS is Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, all available updates installed

Quality of photos downloaded from web gallery

If someone downloads a photo from my web gallery, what quality is the photo? When you share a photo through email it asks you if you want to send it "Actual Size", "Large (higher quality), Medium, etc. Also, is the quality of a photo downloaded in a web gallery the same as a photo downloaded from my iWeb website?

If you select the option to let others download photos from the web gallery they will be downloading the full sized, pixel-wise, image. However, there will have been some jpg compression on the file. iPhoto does that so as to speed up uploading time and not fill up the iDisk as fast. The amount of compression is 9 on a scale of 1 to 12 where 12 is the highest quality. This was determined by saving the same file with Photoshop to different quality levels and comparing.
I was hardpressed to see any degradation in image until I compared them side by side at about 200% magnification. Exposure histograms for each image were the same.

ICloud photo library size

Hi all,
I just have a quick question regarding iCloud photo library size.
What happens when the iCloud photo library is larger than the space on my iPhone?
My iCloud photo library size is 4gb (I am still within the free 5gb) however, the space on my phone is under 4gb.
All of my photos have been uploaded on the iCloud photo library beta for Mac/ Yosemite.
I'm aware that there are 2 options within the iCloud - Photos menu which are "Optimise iPhone Storage" or "Download and Keep originals"
Now I thought that regardless of which option you selected they would still store a local copy on your iPhone, but what happens when even the optimised versions take up more space than your phone can handle?
Sorry if I'm being a bit slow here, I'm just slightly puzzled by this one.
Thanks

#macrumors
One lesser-known feature of iCloud documents (I can't speak for Photos quite yet) is that storage on your iOS devices is dynamically managed - if a document hasn't been accessed from the iOS device in a long time, it will automatically be removed if space is needed (the way RAM is managed on a Mac) - all you have on the iOS device at that point is document metadata (title, etc.). If/when you need to access it again, it'll be re-downloaded. Note that it's different on a Mac - every iCloud document is cached on your Mac - I guess the assumption is that you have the space, and that accessing documents while working offline/off the grid is more important to someone who's using a laptop.
I expect iCloud Photo Library will work similarly, if not identically: On iOS a thumbnail of everything, larger images of items that are actually opened and viewed. If available storage starts to dwindle, the higher-res versions of the least-frequently viewed items will be removed until they're called for again. On Mac, a complete cache of everything, at full resolution.

How good is the Photo Downloader at detecting duplicates?

I have only tested the Photo Downloader (with version 1.2) once, and I got a couple of hundred duplicates on my disc. I had images on the card that I had downloaded before using other software, but images that was already in the LR library.
So, I'm not sure that I dare to use the Downloader again as long as my card has still old photos on it.
What are other users experience with this program?
Other programs I have used for downloading from the card uses the Archive-attribute so it can know for sure if a picture has been downloaded or not, so why does not LR do that? I'm not sure if Mac has the same file attribute, or if all camera manufactures uses it, but if they do, then it could be a good idea for LR to do the same.

I suspect no better than it is at detecting duplicates by regular import. Here is a quote from an earlier post of mine on the subject of LR's inconsistency in detecting duplicates. That was with 1.2. I have not fron a formal test on 1.3 yet, but informally it seems to catch more than 1.2--but that is just an impression. For sure, it is not getting them all by any means. That I know from importing in 1.3 and seeing identical files in the import. By identical I mean everything, name, ext, size, dates, crc,everthing--abjectly identical. I will run some tests when I get an hour or two. By the way does anyone know for sure just what attribues of an image LR uses to determine identicality. Given the use of the word 'suspected' duplicates, I suspect that it isn't a very rigorous test. Something is either a duplicate or not!
Here is what I posted earlier based on testing:
"I have recently undertaken to run a serious test of LR 1.2--as I did with previous versions-- to see if it was at the stage of development where it would improve my workflow over my present applications. Most everything is much better than before, but I have discovered a killer bug.
I work in a group of four other photographers. We are constantly mixing and matching images from our various DBs/shots for client presentations, frequently mixing shots already in a DB with some that are recent and not yet DBed In the end, of course, we want one DB that incorporates all our collective images. This arrangement lends itself to imports that often will contain duplicates of given, uniquely identified, images.
I discovered that even with the box checked to not import duplicates, that LR is hopelessly inconsistent in stopping the import of absolutely identical files with absolutely identical names, extensions, metadata, etc.
As a test, I imported a set of 50 images--various formats, etc--all of which were in LR already. I ran the test three times. The first test resulted in LR identifying 3 dups, the second test 17 dups, and the third 13 dups. I also tried this test using images that were in two separate LR catalogues--identical in every respect. LR did not identify even one duplicate image of the fifty in this case.
Is this a known bug? Anyone have any suggestions? TIA "

Why is my photo downloader dialogue box pixelated?

I have noticed recently that when I take images off a CF or SD card and use Bridge. The photo downloader dialogue box is not very high quality. The text is pixelated and the over all graphic isn't very high quality. I seem to only notice in this section of Bridge. I am working on a retina display mac book pro so it just seems weird when I open that dialogue box it is not very high quality. Is there something wrong or is this normal and the way it is supposed to be?

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

No advanced option in photo downloader

? Why does my Photo Downloader not have an advanced option as in the training videos?

Hi Tom,
After doing a little more hunting around, I have found that the advanced dialog has grown a little and is now 854 pixels deep.
That is quite close to your screen depth of 900. As a test, is it possible to change to a high resolution?
I'm not sure whether it will make any difference but do you have the taskbar set to autohide?
The DPI setting I referred to in my last post can be found in the Personalization option as Adjust font size (DPI). See if setting that to 96DPI helps.

First, try building pyexiv2 with makepkg.
EDIT: and do you have base-devel installed? If makepkg fails, and you have base-devel installed, you may want to change your title to indicate a scons error with pyexiv2. I'm not familiar with scons, but such a title would attract those who are - meanwhile the fact that you want to build this as a dependency to rapid-photo-downloader is tangential to the actual point of this thread so it's not as title-worthy.
Hmm should have thought of that. Oddly it went fine. I'm not clear regarding what would be different about doing it via yaourt - nothing I thought.
Yes base-devel is installed except a few that have been replaced with their -multilib variant....
I just used makepkg and pacman to get pyexiv2 installed, then went ahead with yaourt for rapid photo downloader....
Thanks for the poke in the right direction!
Marking as solved despite the bit of remaining mystery....
