Photo orientation question

I have shown photo slide shows on my television with success -- with one exception. My portrait (vertical) photos are all in landscape (horizontal) mode on my Ipod and television. I loaded photos onto Ipod from Photoshop Elements 3. They are correct orientation in Photoshop. How to make this work on my Ipod? Thanks so much!

Resizing is a different issue altogether from format.
It's safe to scale the image in ID regardless of the format. If you look in the info panel with the image selected you'll see two resolution numbers listed, actual and effective. Actual is just the resolution at the dimensions the image was saved and is essentially irrelevant. Effective resolution is what you have at the dimensions you are currently using, and that's the number that counts. If that number is in the range that is acceptable for the type of output you are using, there is no need to resize the image in Photoshop at all.
If you MUST resize the image, then yes, convert to something besides jpeg if that's what it is to start. And keep in mind that up-sampling won't improve image quality in general, and downsampling more than 20% or so can cause you to lose fine details (but so will scaling down).

  • Photo Orientation on Windows platforms

    I am so sick of flipping and turning my pictures every time I transfer them to my pc. Is Apple going to address this issues anytime soon?

    As I said, the orientation of photos is set in the EXIF data of the photo itself. Whatever you use to view the photo, whether it be Windows Explorer or some other program, should obey the orientation data and display the photo whichever way up it was taken.
    Picasa for Windows is written correctly and shows photos correctly. It is Windows that ignores the EXIF data, and as Microsoft make Windows, who else's problem could it be?

  • Photo Storage Question

    Hi:  When I take a photo with my C3 and designate it be stored on the microSD Disk is the photo also stored temporarily on the phone's internal memory?
    Thanks, Chato
    Solved!

    Hi Farby:
    Thanks for you input. The photos in question were taken 4 months ago but the phone has only been used for a couple of hours since then. What I'm looking for is secure eraesure of photos before upgrading phone!

  • Photo stream questions, sharing, etc.

    Shared photo stream questions
    Camera Roll (CR), Photo Stream (PS)
    If I create a shared PS and share it with a friend, is this temporary like the main PS (most recent 1000 images)?
    For example, if I put one photo in a shared PS and then take 1000 new photos (but I don't add it to the shared PS), presumably it will disappear from my main PS, but will the original photo disappear from the shared PS, too?
    I noticed that each month I have a new monthly event titled, for example, "August photo stream", etc. Are these temporary, too? If I take 1000 photos in September, will the August PS event start to lose images, or will this only occur in the main PS section?
    Apple's web site says "iCloud stores new photos for 30 days, so you have plenty of time to connect your iOS device to Wi-Fi and make sure you always have your most recent shots handy." What does this mean? If I take a photo on iPhone it's permanently in CR (until I sync with iTunes on OS X and then iPhoto offers to remove them from CR), but they're also in PS, which is temporary, right? If so, as long as CR is permanent, how big an issue is the 30 day rule?
    Here's where I'm (further) confused...
    On iPad, my PS section (the tab on bottom) only has 30, relatively recent photos. Each photo was taken with iPhone.
    However, on iPhone, my PS section has 547 images. Some of these were taken as screen shots from iPad (even though they're not on iPad's PS??) Some of the images were "Save As... "  image files from OS X, some were photos imported to desktop iPhoto from a camera. Many of the images were taken years ago. On desktop iPhoto, I have over 3000 images, but the images on iPhone's PS do not appear to be the most recent 1000 images imported to iPhoto.
    So why did iPad's screen shots disappear from iPads PS yet appear on iPhone's PS?
    Why aren't the two iOS device's PS sections the same?
    Is this confusing to everyone, or am I just dense?
    Thanks!

    You are most likely using the same apple id under settings>iCloud. If you just want to stop the photo sharing you can open settings>iCloud and turn off photostream. If you want to keep using photostream and still not share you need to set up an alternate apple id to use under settings>icloud

  • Photo Orientation Incorrect When Viewing MobileMe

    I've tried to find a solution to this by searching other posts. What I've found is this is not a new problem. I have two AppleTVs and I have the same problem on both units.
    But this is the real oddity. The photos not only display correctly orientated when viewed through a browser on both a Mac and iPhone (as well as the MyGallary app), but they also display correctly on AppleTV when previewing (as they carousel) while in the applicable onscreen navigation menus, and when they are displayed as a screen saver set to "Floating". However, if directly viewing in slideshow or when the screen saver is set to "Slideshow" the orientation is all messed up. And the current photos I'm view where also all taken with an iPhone and uploaded directly to the users MobileMe account.
    And on top of all that, when I viewed the first 4-5 photos on AppleTV (now up to 15 photos) they displayed in the correct orientation. Now some of those that did display correctly are messed up.
    How can the preview and floating screensaver correctly display the photos, they have a wrong orientation when in slide show. Again, this is on two aTVs. Seriously, there have only been Apple devices and Apple services used - this is should not be happening.
    I've have this problem in the past on both aTVs, but the pictures where taken with a Canon and uploaded to mobileme from an iMac. I figured it was a minor inconvenience and that Apple would resolve this in subsequent updates - this was over a year ago.
    The only thing I've tried to do so far is to delete the user's MobileMe account and then re-added - nothing corrected.
    Oh, and the software is up to date on both units.

    Updating the information regarding photo orientation with AppleTV screen saver.
    Clear instructions: Click on photo in iPhoto, then go to File, choose 'Reveal in Finder', select 'Original File'. A window opens up where the original photo file is held. Open the photo in Preview. Rotate photo as needed. Close and save. You are done. Restart your AppleTV and turn your photos on and off to share in iTunes. Ta Da, it all works and it's very easy.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Photo orientation with AppleTV

    Hello all
    I have been having some problems with photo orientation in AppleTV screen saver and in viewing the iPhoto library on AppleTV. I did all the usual things, restarted the Apple TV, restarted computer, etc. What was really strange was the photos I had changed rotation in iPhoto were all good. It was AppleTV which wasn't seeing them as 'corrected' images. What AppleTV was doing, was seeing the original photos, rather than the edited versions (the correctly oriented photos).
    What I had to do was go to the original source of the photo. So I had to click on the photo, then go to File, see original file. The original file was still in the incorrect position. Once I opened this in preview and corrected it, it seemed to work. Will keep you posted. What is also interesting to note is that AppleTV was having problems with the original picture files of photos taken with a camera, rather than with the iPhone. There seems to be a bug here about how the AppleTV sees original and corrected files when the photos are taken with a digital camera.
    Keen to know what others have found.
    Happy AppleTV travels everyone.

  • Photo orientation in Ipad

    Hi I'm having problems with the photo orientation in Ipad. In my pictures, I have photos both in portraint and landscape mode. When I sync in Ipad, they are all landscape, the ones in portrait are orientated in landscape. How do I fix this. In my pc picture folder they are at the right orientation, but not in the ipad. Has anyone have this problem? and how do I fix it?

    Which OS are you using?
    I believe that old versions of Windows (XP and earlier) did not understand the orientation flag that is stored in the EXIF data. Most modern cameras have orientation sensors, and the save the orientation when the photo was taken in the EXIF data for the photo (the EXIF data is metadata that is stored along with the photo data in a jpg file).
    Any decent photo browser will understand the EXIF data and will display the photo properly without having to manually rotate the photo. However, if you manually rotate the photo in Windows, the photo data will be rotated, but the orientation flag will not be changed. When the photo is loaded into the iPad, it interprets the marker in the EXIF metadata and rotates the photo a second time.
    I'm not sure that this is your problem, but if it is your problem, then the photo is being displayed incorrectly on the PC, and the iPad is displaying it "correctly".
    If you think this might be the problem, try installing a program called irfanview on your PC. You can download it at: http://www.irfanview.com
    It is a great public domain image viewer program. If you install it, try looking at your photos in irfanview and see if it also rotates your photos like the iPad does.
    Ron
    p.s. I can understand how what is happening must be annoying. The photo will be displayed incorrectly, and as you instinctively rotate the iPad to fix it, it auto-rotates again leaving the photo always in the wrong orientation.
    My OS is windows 7. So to fix it, I should rotate my pictures in my pc folder in landscape mode so that in the ipad it will be in portrait? As of right now in my pc folder my landscape pictures is in landscape in ipad but my portrait pictures is also in landscape in ipad. And no matter what I do, the portrait ones are always landscape. I've deleted the ipod photo cache and resynced. And no changed.

  • N86 photo storage question.

    Is it possible to set up a separate folder in which to store photos, so they don't appear in the albums? For example, if I am using the phone like a flash drive, just as a means of transferring files from one location to another.

  • Slideshow with origami transitions - photo orientation changed

    I started playing around with the slideshow, and was happy with the origami transitions until I realized that for a few of my photos, it had rotated the images 90 degrees. They consistently showed up in the wrong orientation as the slideshow cycled through all my images.
    Is there a way to specify which is the desired orientation for display in the slideshow for a photo?
    And I wasn't messing with the angle of the iPad at all, so it wasn't changing the screen display orientation...
    Thanks!

  • Changing photo orientation

    The photo orientation on the CHAPTERS THEME main page is vertical. How do I change it to horizontal?
    thank you

    Unlike the books, calendars do not change the orientation of a frame depending on the orientation of the photo dropped into it.
    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 and Leopard. 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.

  • Filter by photo orientation

    How can I filter by photo orientation (i.e. portrait versus landscape) within the currently shown collection or folder?

    Okay, sort by aspect ratio, then select all the images of the group you're interested in (click and shift-click) and then make them fiterable. Either add a flag or a color, or make a keyword (portrait or landscape, perhaps), or just add them to a quick collection.

  • Photos orientation not ok after syncing my ipad mini with my pc?

    When i sync my ipad mini with my pc to add photos, the photos dont keep the orientation?
    And when i modify and save them on my ipad, i have the same picture twice but with 2 orientation?
    Exemple: Photo 1 is in my PC and photo 2 is in my ipad mini after the syncing.
    What can i do to have only one photo off each and in the right orientation?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the information as this helped immensely. I was having the same problem having recently purchased the iPad and using Windows Vista. Made a series of edits in "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" to correct the view on my PC by rotating and then loaded into the iPad and they were showing incorrectly. Found a quick solution was to do all the rotations whilst in file manager (i.e. viewing the icons) and not picture editor. Seems this enables them to display correctly on the PC and also go into the iPad correctly. If you actually rotate the pictures whilst editing it doesn't work.

    Suggests a permissions issue in the Library.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to check and repair Library permissions

  • Video Orientation Question

    I recorded a video using my iphone in one orientation (portrait style) but when I play it on my computer it plays sideways. Peoples heads point west and their feet point east. How can i get it to play normally on my computer? I now know that in the future I must always record lanscape style but I really want to use one of the videos I've already recorded. Is there any way to salvage it?

    I venture to say your computer is a Windoze PC.
    If so, which video viewing app are you using?
    The video orientation is included with the video's EXIF data, which the Windows video viewer ignores - at least with photos so I assume the same with video.

  • Photo album questions

    Hi, I have put several hours into trying to solve these
    problems myself, but I am stuck. The page in question is:
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/newyorkmaps/hydeli/hydeliinv.html
    1. Detailregion area does not display when page opens. It's
    just a skinny gray box on the right. Once you click a thumbnail,
    however, it displays fine, and will display all the images as you
    click on them. Thinking maybe the non-working slide show buttons
    were the problem, I tried replacing the <div id="controls">
    area with the identical one from another page I have that works
    just fine:
    Why does THIS work:
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/aanda/fashion/kuhninv/kuhninv.html
    BUT NOT THIS:
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/newyorkmaps/hydeli/hydeliinvquicktest.html
    I've made several pages like hydeliinvquicktest.html that all
    function properly, so I'm baffled.
    2. How do I get a simple slide show going?
    The Spry Photo Album Demo shows how powerful Spry can be, but
    I don't need all that complexity, and I'm having trouble narrowing
    it down to what I need -- no multiple databases, no growing and
    shrinking thumbnails. All I want is to be able to put a bunch of
    images and one XML dataset in a folder and have the ability to have
    people click on "Previous," "Next," or "Play/Pause" in addition to
    being able to click on a specific image.
    One of the problems with the demo for me is the dataset names
    used in the demo get confusing -- I'm having trouble following the
    distinction between and relationship between when you use
    dsGallery, dsGalleries, dsPhotos, and photo, not to mention, why it
    is ultimately unnecessary to make any reference to "china" and and
    the other folder names. And since I know next to nothing about
    Javascript, I can't figure out what substitutions to make to the
    gallery.js code, which is designed to work with these multiple
    databases, and also can't figure out which pieces I need and
    whether the pieces I don't need would get in the way if I left them
    in the js doc or if everything extraneous has to be eliminated.
    3. One of the problems with implementing more Spry pages is
    the tedious work involved to make a little thumbnail for every
    single image in a set, and then make sure they're all exactly the
    same size, which is what I've done so far. I have figured out what
    to do when the main image size varies, and Spry handles that well.
    But here are my problems:
    a. What if the thumbnails vary in size? For instance, this
    hydeliinv.html page has four maps that are part of a set, but are
    all different proportions, and four details I'd like to show that
    represent what they look like close up, all of which are in
    different proportions as well.
    b. And can I have Spry call on the same image file and
    display that full size for the main image, and reduced for the
    thumbnail?
    You'll see right now in
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/newyorkmaps/hydeli/hydeliinv.html
    I've set the height and width in the spry: repeat tag for the
    thumbnails to 100px. I tried just setting the height to that, and
    width to auto; I tried just setting the height to that, and
    omitting the width. In both cases, no thumbnails display at all. I
    see in the Spry Photo Album Demo the use of "path" designations in
    photos.xml. Could I do something with an XML doc that looks like
    this to address both (a) and (b)?:
    <hydeli>
    <inv_item id="1">
    <title>First Map</title>
    <dimensions1>36.5 x 34 inches</dimensions1>
    <dimensions2>37.5 x 36.25 inches</dimensions2>
    <photo
    path="hydeli1.jpg" width="390" height="400"
    thumbpath="hydeli1.jpg" thumbwidth="98"
    thumbheight="100">
    </photo>
    </inv_item>
    <inv_item id="2">
    <title>Second Map</title>
    <dimensions1>36.5 x 34 inches</dimensions1>
    <dimensions2>37.5 x 36.25 inches</dimensions2>
    <photo
    path="hydeli2.jpg" width="379" height="400"
    thumbpath="hydeli2.jpg" thumbwidth="95"
    thumbheight="100">
    </photo>
    </inv_item>
    </hydeli>
    I tried to figure this out, too, but to no avail.
    Thanks for any help you can give me!

    I understand the challenge and worked out some answers that
    support our photo gallery for the ski club. I wanted something
    simple that would support a gallery of up to 100 pictures reliably.
    Also, I wanted it to extract information from the image metadata
    such as names or descriptions.
    The image processing is done using photoshop macros which
    create the appropriate sized image and thumbnail.
    After trial and error I realized current CSS technology is
    NOT capable of vast quantities of demands from more than 20
    thumbnails. That's when I settled on hard formatting the thumbnails
    png files with a nice black border. The thumbnails load up quite
    nicely with NO style formatting. I used PNG files for the
    transparency support.
    The XML data is created using a program I wrote to parse the
    metadata from the image files. Now that all the photoshop macros
    and the XML parser is written, I can load up a large gallery in
    less than thirty minutes. (Not including photo editing.)
    Hope this helps.
