Photo pixel question

Hi,
I'm trying to optimise the photo to upload in my e-commerce website. However, as a newbie I do not what is the optimal width x height pixel to be used. Currently the photo is not filling up the full thumbnail box. Any help will be appreciated. The website is www.IndianRoyalArts.com
Thanks

It looks as though the image is displayed by the following html:
<div class="mousetrap" style="background-image: url("."); z-index: 999; position: absolute; width: 364px; height: 464px; left: 0px; top: 0px; cursor: move;"></div>
So I'd try your images with either height as 464 or width as 364 and see which looks best. I don't recommend resizing them to 364x464 as, unless your photos are in the exact same ratio of 1:1.27, they will look distorted.
Cheers,
Neale

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

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.

When I click to view my photos a question mark appears and will not let me view my picture. How do I fix this?

Photo pixelating in iMovie

I extensively have tried to resolve the following issue via apple web site searches, two phone conversations with apple, and many, many varialbe of "self tests" to mini dv, idvd, quicktime, etc. Tired directly dragging photos into iMovie, different export options from iPhoto, etc.
When I refer to picture quality issues, I am referring to the final output of the project from iMovie HD 6/iDVD to a DVD and to miniDV tape as viewed on a tv screen.
iMovie project for School's sports team. Photos shot with Nikon D80 10.2 MP digital SLR at the camera's full resolution. Project's photos imported from iPhoto to iMovie. The first section of game photos and titles are sharp - other photos of team bonding, etc. are very pixelated. Also, the titles' motion is jerky. I have found that getting "info" of the game action photos states the file size as 17.6 MB. That size is consistant on all the sharp photos. The team bonding photos only state 117kb in size from the "info" select. Also, today I tried importing the same game photos into iMovie that were sharp - they now only read at 117kb in size.
I am guessing at this point, the small file size is the cause of the very pixelated final output of the photos in the project. The questions are...
Is the pixelating of some of the photos due to the now small file size?
Why are the photos only entering iMovie in a small file size of 117kb?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I am the one who took the picutres with the Nikon D80 10.2 MP Digital SLR, as mentioned in the original message and am fully aware of the photos' resolution.
I loaded the photos from the camera to two places - 1st place was a folder on the desktop - the 2nd was straight to iPhoto. I like iPhoto for its photo organization features. I shot jsut under two thousand photos for the season - narrowed that selection down to approx. 300 photos fo rthe entire project. The photos were shot at the camera's's max. resolution. The info of the images size is 3872 x 2592. As I had mentioned, I tried many options of imports / exports, etc. All the photos are from the same source. I created a new iMovie project - imported a batch of the photos that originally were sharp at the beginning of the project and were 17.6MB in file size. The result was the pixelated 117 kb "finished product" in the new iMovie project. I even "reimported" the same photos into the clip pane of the original iMovie project of sharp photos - they also only loaded as 117 kb sized files. All the photos in the project were initially import through the media window within iMovie, including the series of photos that were sharp in the project.
The photos can be opened with iPhoto, Photoshop, Preview, and others. All the images are razor sharp.
I can only deduce that there is a preference setting of some kind or other cause somewhere that at some point between importing the first series of photos to the middle set of photos has changed resulting in the small pixelated photos in the project.
I appreciate your imput thus far. I look forward to any other ideas you may have.

Photo resizing question

Hello, I'm using Lightroom 5 and have a question regarding the file size. A photo I took with a Nikon D90 was downloaded and is 5.7 mb, I processed it and some cropping and color corrections came out amazing, my question is this. The corrected size has been downloaded to a file but reduced to 622 kb, quite a bit smaller than the original. Was this done by an automatic setting? I'm asking because the corrected version is scheduled to be sent to a printer who is going to make some 8X10 color handout cards (the photo is of a race car) for the public and I was concerned that the quality might be different as the re-sizing. I've not heard back from the printer so I was trying to get some info about this issue. Thanks for any help that might be issued.

Exporting as a JPG will normally result in a decrease in FILE size, but not a reduction in IMAGE size. So, this is perfectly normal, and I don't see this as unusual or worrisome.
Furthermore, you are looking at the wrong measure. FILE size and megabytes tells you nothing, and will mislead you. Thus, I suggest to you that the comparison of going from 5.7 megabytes to 622 kilobytes is completely meaningless and useless. The IMAGE size, measured in megapixels, (or equivalently dimensions width x height) is what you need to be paying attention to. If you want to print at 8x10, and you use the "usual" level of quality of 300 pixels per inch, then you need 2400x3000 pixels (or more) in your exported photo. But you don't tell us what the IMAGE size is.

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.

Spry photo gallery question:

Hi,
thanks to mr. Booth's tutorial I was able to implement a nice Spry gallery into our website. Now I want to change one simple thing: the pictures that make up the galleries are to be moved to our ftp server (as opposed to our webserver). The logical thing to to seemed to edit the base parameter in the relevant photo.xml file to something like this: base=ftp://user:[email protected]/directory/ but no dice. So the question is: how do I point the xml file to an external ftp location for the actual photos?
Thanks in advance for any help!

you can't do cross domain requests with AJAX. going to a ftp:// would count as other domain.
So that is not possible. Unless you create a server side proxy that reads the data from your ftp server and about puts the results.

IWeb Google Maps and Photo Gallery Question

I have a Website I started to create a while back. Is there a way to insert a google map and some type of photo gallery
into my site, now that MobileMe is gone??? I really liked the simplicity of iWeb. Is there anything else out there?
Thanks, Eric U

You can still insert Google maps into your site - you just need to do it as you did before the Google maps widget arrived.
Go to Google maps and create the map you want and then copy and paste the code and place it in an ordinary html snippet and then click on Apply and the map will appear.
Also, another tip - you could have found all the answers that you were looking for before even posting your question by searching this forum and there have been literally hundreds of posts on the same topics of Google maps and slide shows.
Suggest you search the forum and look for posts by Old Toad and Roddy, who have found alternatives.
You don't need to stop using iWeb - if you have it use it, but just upload to another host/server.
There are plenty of alternative out there - again a forum search would have given you answers.
Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express and Flux 4. You can download free trials of all of these and most are available for purcahse from the Mac App Store.

Flash Photo Gallery Question

Hello,
I am a photographer interested in designing a photo gallery
website.My question is how are the special effects created in Flash
for when a thumbnail is clicked and the photo downloads into the
picture viewer? (such as the photo fading in , the photo is
assembled from small blocks, the photo downloads from left to
right, the photo downloads after a flash of light) Is there a name
for these effects? Thank you so much, Wendy

These are some complex components/files you can get free off
the net:

This particular sample is the closets to what you are looking
for. It is XML
driven so all the files information can be edited w/o
changing the Flash movie.
You can define 9 transitions along the image name and the
rest happens automatically.
There are many more samples online, search for stuff like
"flash photo gallery"
or "flash gallery", some free some shareware but definitely
plenty.

Photo Frame Question

I know that this is not an Apple Question but I haven't found a forum for this and I was curios if anyone else had run into this issue:
I have a Sylvania 10" Digital photo frame (I do not recommend this frame to anyone. Support on it is lousy to non-existant and I am still waiting for a replacement remote control for it which I ordered in March. I am using my harmony remote to control it right now.) which displays photos pretty well. It's resolution is 1024 x 600. The issue that I am seeing that I wonder if anyone else has seen on their digital photo frame, is that when I transfer photos from the mac to the photo frame and then view them with the quick view progam, the images are corrupted. Even Disk Verify shows that the jpg images are corrupted yet the photo frame has no problem displaying them. They look normal with no corruption at all. The files on my hard drive are fine with no corruption at all. Since I won't be using the frame as a backup for my photos anyway, its not an end of the world issue but I am curious if this happens with other digital photo frames. Interestingly enough, the disk utility sees the frame as having an unknown or unspecified partition with an MS-DOS Fat 32 format on it.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hello tweetybird53,
Thanks very much for purchasing the HP Digital Photo Frame. I regret that you are having some product and support challenges. Please email me with your HP case number or your product number, serial number and contact information so that we can get your issue resolved quickly.
The answer to the question, "Is there an HP service depot near where you live that you can take it there?" is no. Currently, customers can not drop off products at an HP service center. There is a process to follow that entails mailing in the product if it is coded for repair. In some cases, the defective product is simply replaced.
I look forward to assisting tweetybird53.
Regards,

Photo streaming question

I'm not sure where this question ought to be posted, so I apologize if its the wrong section.
In anycase, I wish to know how to erase a photo on photo streaming.
Thanks!

To get the photos on another devices you either have to share them or both have to be using the same iCloud account.
What do you think share means?

Photo Template Question

Hi! I used the photo template to create my iweb web site. In doing so, I placed my own pictures on top of the template photos in some cases. Then I hyperlinked my pictures to files. Click the picture and a file downloads. This is good, but when I access my web site and while my pictures are downloading, the template photos are displayed until my pictures cover them when downloads are done. Question - How can I remove the template photos? Please advise, and thanks.
gingermae

Is downloading a file hyperlinked to a photo your intended purpose? If so, then you might be better off not using the photo template. But I understand if you like the look of the photo template. If you want to continue using the template, then instead of using your photo to "cover" the template photo, go ahead and drag your photo over the template photo and hover until you see your cursor turn to a "+" sign. Then let go and your photo will replace the template photo. Since you cannot apply a hyperlink to a file download to the template, you will then need to insert a rectangle shape...make it the same size as the photo...and then lay it on top of the photo. Open up the Inspector and use the Hyperlink tab to attach the hyperlink to file to this shape. Then click over to the graphics tab and adjust the opacity of the rectangle shape to 1% to let your template photo show through. This should replicate the function that you currently have but replace the template photos with your own.

Photo/print question

Another likely "dumb question" from a rookie ID user:
I've imported a photo and the color looks off (on my screen) -- should I be concerned about photo print quality?
The photo seems to look OK when printed off my printer, but it will eventually be printed via some type of offset printing (as I understand it)
P.S. I haven’t researched this much, so if there are answers out there and you can point me in the right direction, I’d appreciate it.
ID-CS4 6.0.3
Mac OS X 10.5.7

The only way you can come close to knowing what the color will look like is to calibrate and profile the monitor (use a colorimeter), and preview using the appropriate output space as the proof setup.
You absolutely should ask to see a printed contract proof of the job from the printer -- not a PDF or JPEG proof, because they will look different on your monitor unless the calibration is done -- that they guarantee to match in the actual print run.
