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

  • 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.

  • I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned on. The photos from my iPhone do get uploaded to the iCloud. The photos are then downloaded to my wife's iPhone (we share the iCloud account). How do I keep the photos from downloading to my wife's iPhone

    I do not want all the photos from my iPhone downloading to my wife's iPhone from iCloud? We share an iCloud account. How can I prevent the download to my wife's iPhone from iCloud. .The "Upload to My Photo Stream" is turned off on my iPhone. . I am running 8.1.3. 
    I have a related question. In order to same space on my iPhone is there a way to upload the photos to the iCloud and then delete them from my iPhone.

    The way to keep the photos from downloading to your wife's phone would be for her to go to Settings > iCloud > Photos > and turn off iCloud Photo Library. If that isn't an option, the other option would be for her to have her own Apple ID ( and possibly explore the new family sharing options https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ )
    Regarding the "related question" see the quotes below from iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album.
    If you want to reduce the space used by photos on your phone, rather than deleting them see the following:
    How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
    You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

  • Photo Sharing in iWeb.

    Why is it that you can only lock the photo sharing for a photos page and not a welcome page or a blog page? This is stupid. You should be able to lock all photos if you want. Why has Apple disable this feature for a Welcome or a Blog page? There are photos one can use on those types of pages that can be equally pirated, and I don't like any of my photos being shared, no matter what size they are. I want the control of NOT sharing any of them.

    There is no way to prevent anyone from getting a copy of a photo that's in a web page. The photos page just prevents downloading the photo files that were used in the slideshow but not from making a screenshot of them`.
    Any screenshot of a photo will be at the pixel dimension as seen on the screen and 72 dpi resolution and can be printed as a quality photo only at a very small size.
    The best way to show ownership of a photo is to put a watermark on each photo like this example . It was done with Photoshop. There are a number of watermarking applications available. Go to VersionTracker.com and search for "watermark" to get a list of possible candidates.

  • Photo Sharing

    I installed a new software release on Apple TV AND a new software iTunes release on my Windows 7 laptop. 
    Photo sharing no longer works. 

    It doesn't have hit counts anymore (not happy with that change either) but Picasa Web Albums has proven to meet my needs WAY better than Photobucket. Better yet you can upload web sized or full file photos plus make them public or private or semi private. I think you get the first gig of storage free & it's $5.00 per year to expand that to 20 gigs, which I feel is fair & i have 2 different album sets where I pay the fee & one that I'll keep under the radar by replacing old albums with newer ones. Picasa is also a very good free editing program & VERY easy to automate for uploads. Just Google Picasa for the download site & more info. In the meantime this is the link to one of my paid for sites.
    http://picasaweb.google.com/tcprcphotos
    Which is made available to all the local clubs so they can relive each event as quickly as I can edit the photos.

    my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

    DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
    Here are the details.
    1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
    2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
    3) Start MPEG Streamclip
    4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
    5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
    6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
    7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
    8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
    9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
    9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
    clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
    (let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
    9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
    10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
    11) Open iMovie.
    12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
    13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

  • 3 questions: 1) I am unable on my Mac Book Pro to enable iCloud Photo sharing in iPhoto preferences, why not? I cannot see my iCloud drive contents.Why not?

    Having a Macbook Pro i have taken and loaded in 569 photos from my cameras and want to share using iCloud. But I simply cannot get iPhoto to enable iCloud photo sharing. What could be the cause? what should I try other than the instructions which I followed three times already as outlined in the FAQ section of the help function?

  • Is it possible to adjust the photo angle and size in Snapshots theme

    Hi
    I'm new to aperture and am having a few frustrated-hair-pulling issues with the Snapshots theme. I was using iPhoto to create a Photobook of my son's first year and found it to be too limited for what I want to create. I came across Aperture and was wow'ed by the description saying I could rotate and resize photos, add text boxes etc. This was just what I was after so I downloaded the free trial to test it. I like the snapshots theme the best for the idea of it looking more "homemade" but seem to be unable to adjust the photo angle and size from the given templates. Also I find that the border in adding new photos (which I can adjust the size and rotation of) is without the custom shadow effect that the template ones have. Duplicating the template photo only gives one with the shadow effect but also of the same size with the same rotation that I can't do anything with! Rrrrghhhh
    I thought this would be a great way to customize the album I'm making for my little boy, and that it wouldn't be too hard! My mac skills are considerable, but I'm by no means an expert! Is this program too much for a non-pro-creative-housewife with a wish that may be solveable in iPhoto afterall?
    Or am I just missing something? Is there a way to do this or shall I just give up and choose another theme?
    Any recommendations are welcome! Please!!! My scalp is now officially sore!

    Here's the solution I used to solve the same problem. If you're not comfortable editing the source files, this might be more than you want to take on--but I've done it to several files with no ill effects. You can follow the instructions on this page and the referenced original post from (he includes a link on the page). Good luck! He's got some great tips on some of his other pages.
    http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/03/15/aperture-3-book-theme-trick/
    A warning about editing the Master pages--it only edits them in that book--it doesn't update the theme. So if you go to create another book with those same layouts, you'll have to duplicate the book and replace all the images. An alternative would be to create a "clean" book with no photos in it and then just use that as a starting point each time.

  • In iOS8 not all my photos automatically downloading (Photo Streaming) to my PC

    Only some of my Photos are downloading (Photo Streaming) from my iPhone6 to my PC?

    You have a couple of options to get them in your photo stream:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)
    Or, you can add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  The shared stream will appear on your iPad and you can either leave things this way, or save them to the camera roll on your iPad and delete the shared stream.  They won't be in your photo stream but they will at least be on your iPad.

  • Photo Stream Image Size to iPad

    Is there a way to set the image size dementions that are uploaded via Photo Stream to iPad?

    The image size is determined automatic. See iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
    On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 50 pixels wide.

  • I am unable to upload any photos to photo sharing sites?

    For the last two days I have been unable to upload any photos regardless of size to a professional photo sharing website. I have tried everything possible such as disabling my Norton services, emptying the DNS cache, clearing all browers histories and all cookies. I've tried creating new accounts on the website and nothing has worked. I then tried to upload photos to another site and when the photo started to load it said that I lost internet connection yet I didn't. I am able to use my daughter's dell and can upload photos just fine on any site with her computer. I did a live chat with Norton and they ran me through a series of things as well and said it is something with my mac.  Does anyone have any suggestions???? I'm at a complete loss and beyond frustrated with this entire experience.

    Hi, Thank you so much for the info.... I really do appreciate it. We had the laptop updated by way of a system upgrade with RAM and an additional SSD drive. Once reconfigured all programs were reinstalled but Iphoto is not among them. Iphoto was on the laptop when purchased so we have no additional discs. Before the laptop was updated we backed the photos up to an extrenal hard drive so we have them, but cant access them. Could I purchase Iphoto 8 stll? Would this work? We would also require an external CD drive as we no longer have the disc drive in the laptop (I think the extra new bits took over). You may have noticed I have very limited knowledge on computers so any help dispite how simple it may sound to some would help me greatly. I just want all my photos back .... Thanks inadvance... Hope to hear soon x

  • Cant get to photos so nothing but .MAc any good for photo sharing anymore !

    It seems that as we cannot access the photos (easily) in iphoto 08 as it is in package that any photo sharing except .Mac is pretty well useless.. Is this correct ???
    I have Flicr, Photobucket Picasa and Koffeephoto online photo sharing accounts and now I cannot upload to these because Apple seems to want hide our photos in a package . Funny that it works with .MAC but I am not paying for this service when alls I need has been available free for quite a while and my friends go there to see my photos. It almost feelings like I am being forced towards .Mac because of this.
    Are other people having the same upload hassles to these other accounts because of this or is there an easy way to get this to work. I really hope I am not going to be forced to open the package and copy photos out of it and then go through the services upload programs. Have I missed something ?
    Thanks

    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    There are plug-ins for exporting directly to Flickr, perhaps there are for the other sites too. Search on MacUpdate
    The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

  • Photo/Art Download

    I'm old, but new to all of this so I need some help. I'm about to sign up for MobileMe and publish a website designed in iWeb "09 (exciting, but terrifying...). I used the blank page template for all of the pages and have photos, artwork, and text boxes. I would like to make it impossible for viewers to copy/paste/download the photos and artwork, but the Photo Download Size option in the Inspector is gray, so "none" is not available. Is what I want to do possible? If so, please explain using directions a senior citizen who's doing this for the first time can understand!
    <Post Relocated by Host>

    Ms.K:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The photo size download feature applies to Photo pages where there are multi photos and a slideshow available. In a page like you're using (or any page for that matter) you can't prevent a viewer from copying a photo in the size that it's presented on the page. If you have a 3" x 2" photo on a page any viewer can get a copy of it at 216 pixels x 144 pixels. That's not useable for any decent print, just too few pixels. No matter what you do a viewer can take a screenshot of the photo and that will be at the same size, 216 x 144.
    What you can do is put a watermark on each photo like this. Actually you can put a small copyright symbol in one corner with your name rather that a transparent one like my example. Go to VersonTracker.com and search for "watermark" to get numerous watermarking applications. I used Photoshop to do my example.
    FWIW A good tutorial on resolution (dpi) can by found here: The Myth of DPI.

  • HT201077 Can only some subscribers to an iCloud Photo Sharing album post?

    Seems like iCloud Photo Sharing is missing some key features. Or clarity.
    I've created an iCloud Photo Sharing album, to share baby photos with family and friends.
    I want to my wife to also be able to upload photos to this album, but not everyone else.
    Can an iCloud Photo Sharing Album have 2 administrators?Or can we have individual subscriber settings to specify who gets to upload and who doesn't?
    Do all subscribers see who the other subscribers are? Family dynamics dictate that some members should NOT see each other (or their comments), but I don't want to have to create an album for each of those people).
    Do email (non-iOS) folks get an email notifications of newly uploaded photos? (families = many generations, some of which aren't iOS compatible) What's the fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi there Anthony Sbarro,
    You may find the information in the article below helpful. If you delete the photos, they will only delete from the photostream. 
    iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
    How do I delete photos from a shared stream?
    If you are the owner of a shared stream, you can delete photos from the stream in the same way you delete any other photos from your iOS device, Mac, or Windows PC.  The photos will be automatically deleted from the stream on all your devices and the devices of anyone subscribed to the stream. Any photos that were previously saved or downloaded from the shared stream to another location, such as the Camera Roll, will not be deleted from that location. Learn more about deleting shared photos.
