Photo resolution in iBooks

I've ordered a few of the iBooks before -- the early versions were gorgeously printed, but recent ones have been sort of substandard print jobs - as I'm just about to order another one, I decided to do a PDF version first to see how things look, and I noticed that the resolution is only 180dpi, when all of my photos were 300 dpi when I dropped them into the album layout.
Is 180dpi the default, and is it possible to "upgrade" that default somewhere, to 300dpi?

Pref Setter is a separate program. Download it here:

  • Photo resolution on new computer

    I have noticed that the photo resolution on my new system is much smaller than on my old G4 iBook. The original size of the photos was in 1-2 meg size with great resolution. Now they are 40-50K. When I export them to a digital photo frame they are really poor. What have I done wrong?

    Yes
    Quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the desktop (after completing everything successfully you will delete this library) and connect the two computers (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library form the pictures folder form the old machine to the same place in the new machine (a single drag - do not move pieces of the library) and launch iPhoto on the new machine - you should be fine - and once you are trash the bad iPhoto library from the desktop

  • Photo resolution on iweb

    Does anyone know how to improve the photo resolution on iweb? Can i upload pics from iphoto to iweb with original file size?

    Does anyone know how to improve the photo resolution
    on iweb? Can i upload pics from iphoto to iweb with
    original file size?
    Yes, you can. Not sure why you would want to do this. Web images tend to have to balance image quality with download speed. But sure, you can have your original photo used in iWeb. Just drag it from iPhoto directly into iWeb. Then open up the Inspector and click on the Rulers tab. The click "Use original size". That will be your original photo.
    If you make any other changes to your photo like shrinking it down to a little square or rotating it or putting a frame around it, then iWeb will convert your photo to a PNG file and subsequently recompress the image for the PNG file. That will again lower your resolution.

  • Lumia 820 Photo Resolution Problem

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me solve why i cannot change the photo resolution on my Lumia 820?
    When i check them on a PC they always come out at either 800x600 on 4:3 ratio or 800x450 on 16:9 ratio.
    It's driving me mad there is no option in the photo settings or anywhere else in the phone to change this.
    I read on another post that it can be related to skydrive uploading, although I have skydrive disabled and this problem still persists.
    Please Help
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    How did you download the photos to your pc? Photos uploaded to Skydrive are reduced in resolution by default unless you change the setting to Best Quality which requires wifi. To change this, goto Settings>Applications>photos+camera>Skydrive>Photo​s> Best quality
    Other option to download high res is to connect phone to pc using USB. 

  • Nokia Lumia 820 change photo resolution

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me why can't I change the resolution in the photo camera? If I choose video I can select resolution, but on photo I cannot, there is no option. This is not ok, my phone took the last photos both in landscape and portrait at 1280x720 / 720x1280 resolution. If it has 8mpx why can't I benefit from this res?? who from Nokia had this brilliant idea of taking out the option to select the photo resolution???

    I presume you are uploading your photos to Skydrive. The phone automatically reduces the resolution before photos are uploaded. To dwnload your photos at full resolution you need to either connect to pc via usb or change the auto upload settings as follows. Goto settings>backup>photos>best quality (needs wifi)

  • Photos on an iBook

    Is there a way to view photos on an iBook?  Perhaps with a slide show, full screen?

    Yes, you can do this with iPhoto, a part of iLife.
    Go to the Applications folder and see if iPhoto is there. If it is, double-click on it to open it and import the photos that are on the iBook. Within iPhoto, you can create slideshows and view them fullscreen.

  • Photo resolution & movies?!

    So, I'm confused. I can create a very nice page, but there are a couple things that I can't figure out:
    1. Photo resolution. My photos seem to automatically downsample (the large version) to 800x600. That's great if I want them to, but what if I don't?!
    -related: is it possible to link a file? ie "add link to download"?
    2. Movies cannot be put on a photo grid. That *****. I take pictures and movies with my digital camera, and I want to show both in a gallery.
    3. It's unclear to me how updating works. That is, if I publish to a folder, and I update a page or add a new one, do I have to do everything again? ie publish to folder and upload the entire thing? That seems like quite a waste of bandwidth!

  • IDVD slideshow photo resolution

    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  
    From previous posts, it seems that iDVD photo resolution is always less than viewing a iPhoto slideshow while in that application.
    So here is my question:
    When I use the option of sharing the photos, iDVD creates a "slideshow" folder with the photos in .JPG,on the DVD. If I copy the folder to my desktop, open, then the resolution is great when viewing on my G5. So if the iDVD app and my verbatim media can create/support these images, why is the iDVD slideshow resolution so poopy?

    OK, but why so lousy even when viewing the DVD using
    my G5?
    An NTSC TV set has less than 640x480 pixel
    resolution
    - you computer monitor has more than 4 times this
    resolution.
    You are looking at an image with less than 640x480 pixel quality displayed on a much larger pixel count monitor.
    Sorry, but what you see is what you get.
    DVDs produced by iDVD are best viewed on a TV set. If you are viewing them on a computer - DO NOT set the playback display to 'Full Screen' - use 'Normal' size (which will display the video in a 640x480 window).

  • Bonjour Sharing & Photo Resolution

    I am trying to share my iPhoto library with other accounts on my home computer (and other users on the home network).
    Other users can access my library with no problems, but the photos' resolution is very low. Am I doing something wrong?

    Yes
    Quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the desktop (after completing everything successfully you will delete this library) and connect the two computers (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library form the pictures folder form the old machine to the same place in the new machine (a single drag - do not move pieces of the library) and launch iPhoto on the new machine - you should be fine - and once you are trash the bad iPhoto library from the desktop

  • Acceptable and Quality Still Photo Resolution for HDV Documentary

    I've scanned through several pages of posts on photo resolution here, but I haven't actually found a simple answer to a beginner's question. Two, actually:
    1. If someone is supplying you with still photo prints for scanning and use in a documentary (shot in HDV, edited on FCP5), is there a particular size print that you should ask for? Does the broadcast venue (theatrical, TV, etc.) have any relevance?
    2. If someone is scanning photos and sending you a CD with them, what are the specs (size, resolution, etc.) you should ask for? And are there "minimum acceptable" specs and "preferred, high quality" specs?
    Thanks.

    Having worked on several long-form historical docos with hundreds of source photo scans, I'd highly recommend getting the originals in as high a resolution as you can (at least 300 DPI), and getting the entire photo scanned. You just never know when you need to apply pans or zooms or crop into a particular area to improve the edit, and there are many simple ways to prep the selected photos for import.
    The simplest is just to do the scaling & cropping in FCP. It will do a fine job of this, but if it turns out most of the photos will be static, you can waste computer resources by importing unnecessarily-large images. As mooblie pointed out, you strictly only need enough resolution to prevent scaling up past 100%, as this will create pixelated lower quality output.
    The most common way to prep scans is in Photoshop, where you can scale the image to a desired pixel size very easily. I'd still leave the image at its natural frame size (as scanned), so you have the most creative choice when you are framing it in the timeline using FCPs cropping & motion tabs tools.
    If you've got lots of photos and lots of pans & zooms, consider using one of the third-party tools that will help with this, such as Photo to Movie from LQ Graphics, Moving Picture from StageTools, or even the plugin for FCP I wrote to help with the docos I mentioned above. It's called Pan Zoom Pro and you can see about it and download a demo here: http://www.lyric.com/fcp-plugins/index.htm#pzp .

  • Photo resolution question

    I have importing a movie made up of high resolution photos (slide show?) created in iMovie HD (5.0.2) onto iDVD (5.0.1). The end product photos on the iDVD look to be of poor resolution. They started as good size files. Could they be to large to start with? If so, what is a good size?
    Thanks, as always.

    You have to view the slideshow on a TV to see how it is really going to look. The iBook is only showing you a close approximation to how it will look on the TV and so often it looks better on the TV.
    Unfortunately the other poster was only partially correct. A standard TV shows the equivalent to 640x480 (on a computer screen) on TV. So the other poster is correct that the DVD version is a much lower resolution (which is why we have HD TV these days, for a better picture with higher resolution).
    The "72dpi" thing is an old hold over from LONG LONG ago (like the 1970s) with early computer equipment and it has no bearing on TV screens or modern computer screens although for some reason the old "your TV/Computer only can show 72dpi" is still commonly thrown around.

  • Photo Resolution in iWeb

    Hello all, completely new to this and have only been using my Mac for about a month, but thought I'd give it a try. My question relates to when you are building your website in iweb and bringing in pics from Aperture. What I am wondering is this, when you drag your pics from the Aperture tab in the media column in iweb, does it place the photos on your page at full resolution or is it reducing it for you? I know the ideal resolution for web photos is 72 dpi (prevents copying at full res. for printing) but the photos I have stored in Aperture are usually full resolution unless I export them with an export preset where I have chosen the resolution. I hope that makes sense, thank you to anyone that may be able to help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Actually iWeb does a pretty good job of optimizing photos when added to a web page if its preferences are set to optimize upon import.
    Click to view full size
    I added a 3.3 MB, 3264 x 2448 pixel JPEG photo to a page, resized it to 300 x 225 pixels and published. The resulting jpg file was reduced to 41KB.
    I ran some other tests on this demo page: Photo Import and Download File Size Test.
    For photos added to photo pages or album pages it's a different story and depends on what size you select for downloading.

  • Photo resolution in iDVD

    I am trying to create a DVD using a mixture of video clips and photos in slideshows and when I preview the completed DVD, the video resolution is fine but the slideshow photos are blurred and low resolution. When I view the same photos in iPhoto, they are brilliantly crisp. Any ideas?

    It has to do with mpeg2 compression which is about a third of a megapixel. However, both these apps tend to help:
