Photo quality problem in iWeb 08?

I'm still using iWeb '06 but thinking of upgrading. When the '08 version was new I saw some reports that photos handled by '08 were of lesser quality than that provided by iWeb '06. Is there any truth to this? If so, was it fixed?
My main use of iWeb is to post photos...

Wyodor,
Yes, I agree, and use ImageWell to reduce resolution and adjust dimensions of photos for the web.
The information I had read was that there was a noticeable decline in quality after photos were uploaded through iWeb 08. (All other factors being equal.) That had given me second thoughts about upgrading, but upon learning it was not true, I did buy iLife 08 and am very pleased with the new features in iWeb and iPhoto.

  • Photo Quality horrible in iWeb....any ideas?

    Hey everyone. I just finished making my website. Its very early, and Im just working out the kinks until worrying about making it a bit more appealing. Anyways, one of the issues Im having is photo quality. I am taking my photos on an 8mp camera. When I import them into iWeb they look compressed and horrible when viewed (once enlarged through slideshow or just clicking). If you want to check out the website to see what I mean, the adress is:
    http://web.mac.com/jon_leibowitz/iWeb/Site/Home.html
    go to gallery and click on any of them. The main aim of my website is my photography, so its crucial for the photos to look top notch. btw, Im using high resolution pictures, imported them into iPhoto, and then used the multimedia button to import them into iWeb. Thanks!

    Hello Jonathan!
    Really nice photos! You, no doubt, have a much better eye than I do for details and such and it's no wonder that various compression artifacts would be more noticeable to you! Your photos look very acceptable to me.
    The downside to the iPhoto-to-iWeb one-click automatic process is that you the photographer lose control over two things... the quality of resolution scaling and the quality of jpg (re)compression. Preprocessing of your images in something like Photoshop would definitely give you more control over these variables and would most likely allow you to see more acceptable images as posted online.
    For your information, the max resolution for the Apple enhanced slideshows is 800x600. If you import a photo at any higher resolution, iWeb will take over again and resize and recompress your photo. So my recommendation to you would be to preprocess your images to make them look good at 800x600 and prevent iWeb from doing anything else to your images.
    I hope this helps.

  • Calendar photo quality problem

    Is there anything that I can do to improve on the low quality print warning that shows up on many of my calendar photos? Is there some adjustment other than selecting fit to frame? Many of these photos were emailed to me from relatives. Most of them are from point and shoot cameras. What is RGB? The photos are in jpeg format. I'm afraid, after many hours of work, that they won't print well. Any suggestions would be appreciatd

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are some of the pixel dimensions of the photos giving the warning? Apple gives that warning when the resolution falls below 180 dpi. So for a 5x7 frame you would get a warning if you photo was smaller than 1260 x 900. Knowing what the pixel dimensions of the photos are can let you estimate how much under the 180 limit the photo is for the size of the frame in the calendar you put it in. I personally wouldn't worry at 150 dpi as I've printed at that level before and go good results. It's all depends on what your expectations are.
    As far a the color profile goes I doubt any of the jpgs would have CMYK. Digital cameras don't use that color mode.
    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.

  • Problem with photo quality when exporting interactive pdf

    Hi guys!
    I made a simple pdf with before/after retouching samples with photos overlayed, changing on mouse rollover.
    When I export it as an interactive pdf (on lossless jpeg quality), the photo quality on the final pdf looks like a jpeg on 40% quality, really bad. Rollover works.
    When I export it as a pdf for print on high quality - the photo quality in the final pdf is flawless but rollovers dont work.. (I checked "Interactive Elements: Include Appearance) but still nothing..
    Pleeease help cause I can't find a way. I just need the rollovers to work and to have the photos in the best quality possible.
    Thanks,
    Jelena

    If you haven't already you need to change the resolution as well.  Like this:
    72ppi is the default which in theory should be fine for on screen viewing, but play around and use what works for you.

  • I have more problems in iWeb than I can begin to describe.  For one, after an "unexpected shutdown" of iWeb, it just deleted 10 of my published pages.

    I published the updates to my site last night.  Today I have had to make some adjustments.  I saved iWeb before I left for lunch just in case.  After lunch, I made more changes and through an issue with a photo album, iWeb "unexpectedly quit".  When I went to Revert to Saved..., it did revert to saved, which I didn't realize until then that somehow iWeb had deleted 10 pages before I saved it.  So now I have lost 10 pages. 
    Every time I open iWeb, it tells me it no longer has the links to documents or any of the pictures.  Every time I work on iWeb, I have to reattached all the documents and re upload all the pictures all over my site.
    I could write for hours about the problems with iWeb.  Certainly I am doing something wrong ... but my IT company has no idea what is wrong or how to fix it.
    I have iWeb version 3.0.4 (601)

    First replace your domain file that's in the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder with a backup copy that was made before this happened.
    If you don't have a backup copy try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Photos of Photo-Feed created in iWeb'08 won't appear in iPhoto'08

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem, to which I did not find any post yet.
    I have created a personal home page with iWeb including foto albums One of these is updated from time to time, so I thought of using the new photo feed option in iWeb.
    The feed works in Safari, one can subscribe to it and the photos are linked from the RSS page.
    I can also subscribe from within iPhoto using the subscribe button on the home page or copying the link from the RSS page within Safari.
    At first, it seems regularly working: the feed name is displayed, the buttom on the right turns and network activity is seen (activity monitor). However, only the dotted blank frames for the fotos (exact number!) is displayed, no foto is downloaded. This is the same behaviour on my Intel MacMini and PowerBook.
    With flickr foto feeds, this works as it should.
    With iPhoto'06, the subscription works as well!
    I am using the latest update iPhoto 7.1.2 (today's version, but was the same with the oder versions).
    Any ideas?

    *Subject: problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file, i can't see my blog, nor my photos, but before that all was working fine.*
    After the publication in the local file, I see all my pages, but there is a mistake on the page "Blog" where I just can see the top of my page, it's cut and I can't see it entirely, so I can't see the inputs while I should see 3 news or 3 inputs. And it's the same for the "Photos" page where the page is cut, I can't see the photos, and it's just written : "Put the slide show and subscribe".To finish, when I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
    Please help me.

    I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
    The comments feature is only available when you publish to the MobileMe server, so I don't think you can use it when you publish to a local file.

  • Photo Quality in iDVD

    I work with still photos only. Want a slideshow that maintains photo image quality. iMovie coverts to video file & degrades the quality. Changed to FotoMagico. Maintains photo quality in slideshow & offers transitions, KB effect & title slides. It exports to iDVD or Roxio Toast to burn DVD. After the burn in iDVD, the images are distorted and the transition movements are very choppy. Is iDVD coverting this to video images, thereby degrading the photo quality? Is there a way to use iDVD and maintain quality? Would Toast be better? My goal is to produce a photographic quality "still photo" slideshow using transitions, KB, etc. I am selecting NTSC 4:3, best quality in both programs. Getting very frustrated trying to output the quality I can see on my display in a DVD...any suggestion?

    Hi,
    I feel like I am back at school...
    1. I have the BETA version because when I tried to export or burn a DVD neither worked. They knew that was a problem & sent me the BETA fix. Now I can burn or export.
    2. My problem is whatever I do with the burn results in loss of image quality. I have been corresponding with Werner at FotoMagico who has been very helpful. He says image quality from still photos which have been authored & burned can not maintain image quality the technology just doesn't exist unless I go to a pro DVD lab and have them work with compressions per frame. He specifically said it is due to limitations with the MPEG-2 stream, which is standard in DVD playback. The little I have read on this is over my head.
    3. Right now I will forgo the idea of playback on a TV. Let's just deal with computer. When I burn to DVD as my option and it opens in iDVD it results in degraded images. I don't know what to select in iDVD and or FotoMagico to change this result or if it is even possible. I run a G5 with a 23" monitor, most current software on ALL prgrams. Picture files are digital froma Nikon D200 and a mix of negative and slides scanned in with a Nikon CoolScan 5000 and moved into iPhoto via the scanner or a transfer from Adobe. I am having the problem with all these types. What do you mean by resolution in iPhoto?
    4. I transfer from FotoMagico to iDVD by selecting 'Burn DVD' and it opens to 'iDVD'. I have left all settings on FotoMagico and iDVD at default settings and Werner said that should be okay. FYI - I have tried changing slideshow setting from display reolution to 23" monitor to NTSC. Nothing seems to change image quality.
    5. I would like at this point to be able to maintain image quality for transer in Quick time, upload to .MAC web account, etc. Help me there I am lost.
    6. Someone on this discussion also suggested burning to iDVD using the data portion only of the DVD using disk utility. I need help there. Also will that reproduce sound or only the photos. I understand that TV's and DVD players will not accept this mode and that is okay until someone figures out a way to maintain image quality for TV w/o an expensive lab.
    7. Werner said this is possible but they suggest copying the entire package (document as well as images and audio) and move it to iDVD or Toast. On the target devise install a FOtoMagico demo version & run it there. or if the target machine is not a Mac & FotoMagico can 't be nstalled there, you can export manually to a QuickTime movie by selecting 'export' frpm the File menu. Use 'HD preset or 'QuicltTime' & burn the resulting file to a DVD. My husband & I will work on this (with a tech if nec) and maybe you have some thoughts as well.
    At the end of this I think I will know more about video and FPS and MPEg's than I ever intended. Oh well, a little knowledge never hurt anyone!
    One last thing, what is a BETA for NTSC. I hate to bug Werner again without knowing what this is!

  • Exporting photos from iPhoto to iWeb

    When I'm in iPhoto and I send pictures to iWeb, it creates a page for my new pics. Problem is, I don't want it to show the file name of all the pictures. I could change the options of the page to show 0 lines underneath it, and problem solved, BUT I want to type comments under some of the pics, so I have to have it show at least 1 line under them. So what I am doing now is deleting every file name from every picture that comes in one by one. Just by clicking on the file name and hitting delete. It's kind of a pain to do for 100+ pics, so I'm wondering if there is something I am missing to make this process easier. Can I specify somehow to not show the file names?

    Before sending the photos to iWeb select them and use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to Empty menu option. This will remove the title and the photos can go to iWeb without them. After the transfer to iWeb you can restore the titles to the file name with the same menu.

  • Crunmmy photo quality in Safari

    I get poor quality photos quality using Safari in any site.No problem with Firefox.My daughter running e-Mac with same Mac system no problem with Safari. New to Mac and a bit disappointed,I thought Mac were the tops for graphics & photos.Any ideas please. Many thanks

    Hi Tools,
    Try turning off the accelerator, I'll bet that is the culprit.
    The accelerators usually downsample the picture quality to reduce the filesize of the images at the expense of quality, but improving speed.
    I think they usually work by directing requests to a proxy server - in firefox you normally have to set this manually which may be why it appears to work fine, but Safari doesn't.
    Enjoy your sleep and catch you tomorrow...

  • Photo quality follow-up questions

    I read OT's response to a photo quality question and had some follow-ups I'd like to ask. Aside from cropping photos to 4:3 format does increasing the dpi of the photos have any effect in improving the quality of the final image in iDVD?
    I'm making a dvd of family photos for my wife. Some were taken with a digital camera, some are photos scanned by myself and some are photos given to us by relatives that they scanned. I'm putting them together in iMovie, leaving them static - no pans or zooms, keeping the image size at a value of "1", setting the duration at 5 seconds and grouping them by subject using chapter markers so I can get around the 99 photos limitation. (I have over 1500 photos.)
    I've already burned on dvd and was disappointed by the "jaggies" on most of the photos when viewed on my cinema display. Haven't looked at the dvd on a regular tv (CRT, not flat screen/digital). The images looked great in iMovie. It occurred to me that increasing the dpi - most were at 72 dpi - to 300 might improve this issue all other things remaining the same. I can do that easily in Photoshop, but was wondering if that would be a waster of time - especially if no improvement would be realized.
    Thanks for any thoughts/help that anyone can offer.

    iMovie HD 6.0.3 and iDVD 6.0.4
    As far as I know - this will give max quality possibly when making a Video-DVD
    resolution: 72dpi or 300dpi
    depends on size
    A small picture 200 x 300 pixels - will be worse than a 1200 x 1600 picture.
    Resolution doesn't matter as I see it.
    iMovie and/or iDVD will try to scale it to fit - and up or down-scaling
    will not be done kindly.
    Still using my 2016 × 1512 - usually give good result in iMovie
    but if I Share to iDVD (iMovie HD6 6.0.3 or 4) - BAD RESULT
    I just close the iMovie project
    Drop the iMovie project icon (With a black star on it) into the iDVD application (menu window).
    Result best possibly for a Video-DVD - DVD standard is the limit.
    Else that determine the final quality on the DVD
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    to get this to work I
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
    • Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
    • Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
    • No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
    • and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
    • and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start  a brand new iDVD project
    • Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
    • Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
    Try to break the process up into two stages
    • Save as a DiskImage (calculating part)
    • Burn from this .img file (burning stage)
    To isolate where the problem starts.
    Another thing is - Playing it onto a Blu-Ray Player. My PlayStation3 can play BD-disks but not all of my home made DVDs so to get this to work I

    • No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
    • No File Vault on - Important
    • NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
    • Lot's of icons on DeskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
    • Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
    • And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

  • Can visitors download full-sized photos without using the iWeb photo page?

    Neither the photo page nor album page suits the needs of my site, so here's what I would like to do:
    Import my pictures into a blank page. Instruct visitors to right click to save.
    Will they be saving a full-size version of the photo? Or will it save a thumbnail?
    An alternative is to make the thumbnail itself a link to a page with a larger version of the same photo.
    By not using a pre-formatted photo or album page, I do not have access to the iWeb download photo quality selector (it's grayed out in the menu).
    Thanks for your help.

    The quality that you upload will be the quality that viewers can download.
    Here's a way to do it without using a Photo template......

    The application ImageWell is useful for resizing images for the web and creating thumbnails....

  • Poor CD photo quality

    After creating a slideshow, adding audio, then burning slideshow to CD or DVD, the CD or DVD photo quality is terribly  out of focus. Pictures are blurry, or generally distorted. The photoshop images are clean and focused. What is the problem here, and how might I fix it
    Thanks

    If you only have PSE and are making a VCD, you bet it's lousy. That's just the limitation of the format. Better to output your slideshow as a wmv file and then use whatever burning software you have (if you have a DVD burner, you have the software) to make it into a video dvd.
