Photo size reduction in iWeb

When I transfer photos into iWeb from iphoto how much reduction in size does it automatically make, I only have a website with 100Mb capacity

What type of page are you adding the photos to? If you're dragging a photo onto a regular page and resizing then the resulting photo will be rather small, particularly if you have iWeb's preferences set to optimize photos:
Click to view full size
If you're adding photos to a slideshow or a My Albums page the size will depend on if you allow downloading of the photos and what size to download as determined in the Inspector/Photos/Slideshow pane:
Click to view full size
If you don't allow downloading by setting the size to none then each photo in the slideshow will occupy approx. 70 KB of disc space. This photo page with 50 photos is 21.5 MB in size.
If you use a site optimizing application like Web Site Maestro you can reduce the site's size by up to 50%. My Demo 3 site went from 55 MB to 32 MB in size. My Old Toad's Tutorials site went from 10.7 MB to 7.2 MB.
The reduction in size depends on the type of pages you have. If you have lots of image files, jpeg, or movie files, they can't be reduced further so you won't see a big difference. However, png and html files can be reduced further.
I don't know how much you're paying for the service, if at all, but there are other 3rd party hosting services that you can get for about $3.95/mo that have unlimited capacity, one free domain name, etc. Just something to consider.

Does photo size reduction for e-mailing degrade photos?

In using iPhoto to send photos by e-mail one has the option of reducing the size of these photos from actual size to small, medium, or large size in order to transmit them more quickly, but what effect does this size reduction have on the quality of the photos?
I suspect that the size reduction degrades the images, but I have not been able to obtain any sort of definitive information on this subject, even when I contacted Apple tech help. Is there some knowledgeable person on board who can give us the story on this issue?
I like the idea of transmitting photos as fast as possible, but not if it means degrading the images by reducing their size to speed up the e-mail process.

Smtr,
Thanks for your helpful reply. I wasn’t concerned about the original photo retained in my library, but only about the reduced-size copy transmitted by e-mail.
I’m amazed at how much one can reduce the photo size for transmitting by e-mail. I just randomly selected a 3.3 MB JPEG image which can be squeezed down to only 63 KB by selecting the Small size in the Mail Photo window. I calculate that the reduced size photo would be only 1/52 the size of the original. I assume that the 63 KB image would be a very poor candidate for producing a print! I also assume that the 63 KB image, when viewed by the recipient on his monitor, would be a lot smaller than it would be if I sent him a copy at Actual Size.
Suppose the the recipient’s e-mail system could not handle the Actual Size 3.3 MB photo, so I send him a Large copy (414 KB) or a Medium copy (122 KB). Would either of those reduced-size photos produce a decent print as small as 4 X 6? I am trying to get a feel for how far I could squeeze down the size of one of my photos for e-mail transmittal before it becomes unsuitable for producing even a small print.
Comments?

Photo size reduction

When I e-mail a photo, my iPhone asks me if I want to reduce the size before sending. I assumed that IOS would be sensible, like Windows, and send a reduced copy.
No! It reduces the size of the photo on the iPhone and the original hi-res picture is lost. Thank you, Apple, for ruining irreplaceable images of my holiday.

OK, so why are the Photo Album pictures that I e-mailed back to base reduced to 640 x 400, and *only* those pictures?
What does this mean? And how does this prove the resolution of the original photos were changed in any way?
Have you imported the photos from the Camera Roll with your computer?
I must admit I was expecting and Apple product to be a bit special - actually, there's very little to recommend either system above the other.
I've used both platforms extensively, which is the reason why my personal money has never been spent on that upside down and backwards ****-poor copy of Apple's GUI, and swiss cheese for security OS. I'd go without a computer before I'd spend any money on that mediocre designed for the lowest common denominator OS.

Why does iWeb upoad the original photo in addition to the blog photos size

Hi,
why does iWeb upoad the original photo in addition to the blog photos size?
It's a waist of webspace.
JO

Seems a bit strange having to pre-prepare an image to be manipulated by a website program that can manipulate images.
1 example, I loaded a photobooth image into Iweb (30-40k) only to find it changed it to over 240k just so it can add rounded edges..
I would like to be able to drag over a few 1meg+ images and have Iweb just use the size it needs without keeping over 13megs of images that arent used.
but it doesnt seem to do it for all images, only the 1st one of the page (like in the blog pages) 1 image is there by default, I load in say 6 images, 5 have square borders 1 has a round one and only that one had its original big brother uploaded..
Thanks for the info, at least now i can stop looking for a menu option that isnt there

Photo sizes to big?

I just created my own web-site with .mac and iweb. The picture I inserted in my welcome page, however, seems to be quite large because when I go to the web-site it takes a few seconds to load. Not much but enough to be annoying even though I have a fairly fast internet connection. When you drag and drop a photo from iphoto to iweb, does iweb automatically make it smaller in size for the web or do I have to do this manually.

When you drag and
drop a photo from iphoto to iweb, does iweb
automatically make it smaller in size for the web or
do I have to do this manually.
Yes, iWeb does downscale the photo for you, but maybe not as much as you would like it. You can do a "Publish to Folder" and then go in there to see just what iWeb is doing to your images. I always recommend that people take the extra time to downscale their photos first before dropping them into iWeb. If you use an application like "Downsize" or even iPhoto, you can usually get your photos down to a smaller size than iWeb will on its own.
You might also want to consider NEVER dragging in your original 5 megapixel photos to iWeb, too, because iWeb also has a nasty habit of keeping a copy of your 5 megapixel image (1-3mb!) AND uploading it to your iDisk along with the rest of your site files! This won't cause your websites to load slowly, but it will take longer to upload to begin with and the huge file just takes up space...not to mention it's there for the taking if someone knows where to look (say, if you are a professional photographer).

I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. I was given the choice of small, medium or large the first time I took a picture. Now I have no idea how to change it to medium. Can anyone help?

I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. The first time I took a pic it asked if I wanted smalll, medium or large and listed the pixels. I chose small but am now finding that is too small. Can anyone help me set it to medium now? I can't find any setting for that. I'm a newby to iPhones and have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks for any help you can offer.

By "sending" do you mean sending email?
If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
To my knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

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?
Markus

You could copy the images link from the pages code and link it to your html email:

I would just upload the images to YOUR server in a folder and link the images in the html email to those.

I have a problem with iPhoto on my iMac. Under the view site, I am unable to get to the photo size function. It is grayed out

Under the view designation in iPhoto, the photo pane and photo size options are grayed out. How can I get them turned back on so I can modify the size of small old photo I have scanned in.

There is no way to increase the size of a photo image once it's been scanned/taken. If you want larger images from a scanned image scan it at a higher resolution, dpi.
Additionally, with the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by "view designation"?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

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.

Photo size is not displayed accurately

After cropping a photo to 4x6 it displays as 3.5 x 7 This makes the photo distorted. How do I fix the display to be accurate? People look shorter and fatter? Help!

Photo comes from Nikon SLR camera disk and I was cropping photos size to 4x6. (Photoshop Elements 10) I had been using Photoshop Elements 7 prior to this and never had this problem. I pulled up some photos that I cropped in Photoshop Elements 7 last year and the measurement are correct when I pulled them up in Photoshop 10. I just can not figure out why the photos using the 4x6 mode in Elements 10 are coming out as 3.5 x7 Any ideas? Merribeth

Photo size and uploading to Apple

I'm in the process of making a quite large iPhoto book for my SIL for her b'day. The photos are a compiltion from many of mine, and others sent to me by family members. They are all different sizes, resolution, color and B/W.
After getting them organized, doing a bit of fixing on PS, I now am ready to get them into iPhoto.
Is it wise to take them all into Lightroom where I can do an easy batch change of the resolution? I have read where they should be around 300. It is easy to change them and the test prints I did at home looked ok, even on the small ones that aren't too big to start with. On the export menu of Lightroom, I have the option of stating whether I want them to be exported at JPG, Tiff etc., and I can change the resolution and photo size too.
I probably would export them as JPG, 300 res. and not change their size. Is this ok for the iPhoto books?
Also, if they are of a higher resolution, I assume it will take quite a while to upload them to Apple even with high speed fiberoptic cable internet service.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks, Allie

Allie:
DO NO USE Lightroom as it messes up the metadata and makes the files not useable in iPhoto. You do not have to preprocess the files to set the dpi to 300 specifically. The only important feature of the file is the pixel dimensions. If the pixel dimensions are large enough as you state you can leave them as is. iPhoto will fit them into the frame you choose and the dpi will be determined that way. No matter what size the files are the book is converted into a pdf file for uploading and printing. My last book of nearly 100 pages came in at approx. 25MB.
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.

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.

Ideal photo size (pixels) for viewing in iPod Touch?

I would like to move some of my photos from iPhoto to my new iPod Touch, but the photos are very large. What would be the ideal high resolution photo size for viewing in the iPod?
Thanks.

I'm guessing that you are looking for the actual screen size in pixels .. maybe someone will know that but I do know that on the apple site they mention the video being 640x480 pixels, so that might be a size to try.
http://www.apple.com/ipod/compare-ipod-models/#moreinfo
Though so long as you have it in the same proportions .. when the image should transfer even at higher resolution to the size of the screen and avoid the black bars that I guess is the reason for taking the trouble with this

What kind of processing does "export" do? (i.e., why the huge size reduction of the .mov?)

I have a .mov video I imported into imovie 11. All I did was add a title bar at the beginning. The original video size was 2.35GB. The exported .mov is 985MB. Why the size reduction? What processing happens on export? Does it affect quality. It was originally 1080p, 24 fps, .mov file from my video camera.

iMovie converted your file to a "more compressed" codec on export. Most likely when iMovie imported your video file, it converted your video file to AIC, a native codec that iMovie works with comfortably on high definition video (before importing into iMovie, your video file could be also quite small). AIC file takes a lot of space. Exported video files are for viewing, not for editing, so by default iMovie compresses the file to reduce the size. In fact you can change the default settings on export in iMovie (in menu "Share", "Export using Quicktime...").
Yes it affects quality, but usually you won't notice the difference. It depends on your viewing facility. Unless you have a high-end projector with 150' high-end screen, or a great video card with Eizo monitor, don't bother. In any case, you can always adjust the iMovie export settings to satisfy your eyes.

How do I get photos to slideshow in iweb?

I see where there is an option to slideshow photos but it is all greyed out and I cannot check the box.

you can use iweb photos page for slideshow, iweb has its own slideshows.
