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).

  • Photo sizes too big to send

    You will know from this question that I am totally new to this.
    I just started working with my brand new Mac, and I'm used to PC's. In the photo program I'm used to, I can double click on a photo and that brings be to a place where I can resize the photo so I can easily e-mail it. I can't find a way to do the same thing in iPhoto.
    Help?

    If you're using Apple's Mail program, you can just go ahead and select the photos and click on Mail.
    The photos will appear gigantic, and on the bottom of the message you'll see the estimated message size. Next to that is a popup that says "Actual size". You can change that to small, medium or large, and Mail will automatically resize the photos for emailing, and you will see that in the message size estimate.
    It's the coolest feature I've used in Mail, I don't have to bother with scaling, exporting, or dialog boxes at all.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Photos Are Too Big

    Good morning.
    I've just started exploring the possibility of making a photo album in iPhoto. When I place a photo on a full page, the photos are too big for the 'frame'- that is, the frame crops part of my photos off. I have tried using the resizing tool but find that the photos are already resized to their smallest.
    Is there another way to deal with this problem?
    Thanks,
    BurntMonkey

    John:
    iPhoto puts up that warning when the resolution of the image falls below 180 dpi. A lot would depend on how far it falls below. They will not appear as good as they do on screen but that goes for all of the photos. The monitor display usually has more contrast and snap than the printed version. But that's not to mean the printed version doesn't or won't look good.
    You can approximate the dpi of the photo for the frame that's giving the warning. The pages are 8.5 x 11. Estimate the size of the frame and divide the frame's dimension into the pictures corresponding pixel dimension.
    What are the pixel dimensions of a typical photo that's giving you the warning sign and what page layout/frame are the in?
    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 versions) database file and keep it current.

  • 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

  • Reduce photo size

    I have tried following all the possibilities for reducing a photo size for email.
    I do not get any options for reducing the photo size when I attach a photo in an email, I get no pop up boxes or choice to reduce the picture size.
    Any clues please

    if i get the question right - you have phtos on your pad, and want to up[load them to somewhere, but they are too big.  if that is the case, here is a workaround - until somebody smarter comes through with the right solution.
    Mail the photo to yourself.  I just mailed a photo that was in i photo at 4.1 meg to myself.  When it arrived, it was 104 k.
    If you mail it from the camera roll it will also reduce size.  you can then save that new image, and upload it.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • Photo Sizes in iPhoto

    When I import directly from my digital camera, the photos are "manageable" in size - about 1.0MB. However, I just imported photos from a professional photographer for an event and each photo is 4.0MB or larger. I want to upload some of these to a website, but they need to be under 0.8MB.....Can I set iPhoto a size dimension to import at a max size?  Also, how can I reduce the photo size of the ones I just imported to a manageable size?

    Select the photo(s) and export (file menu ==> Export) using the custom size option to set the maximum pixel dimension you want

  • Photo Size

    Is there anyway you can change the size of iphoto's photo's.
    When i upload them from my camera no matter what size i have the photo size on my camera it always makes them the same size, and they are kinda small and was wondering if anyone knew a way to change the import or export size of a photo once being in iphoto ?

    Tyler
    When you import a pic into iPhoto it does two things:
    1. It copies the file into the iPhoto Library Folder - and stores it in the ORIGINALS folder.
    2. Then it makes a thumbnail and stores that in the DATA folder.
    You keep looking in the Data folder, so you keep seeing the thumbnails.
    However, you should not be looking in the iPhoto Library Folder at all. *It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss*
    Do your work in the iPhoto Window. Everything you need to do can be done via the iPhoto Window. 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.
    Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
    So. Forget about the Data folder.

  • Photo size/manually pushing photos

    Is there a way to up the allowed photo size on the server without putting the photos in AD? Like a cmdlet? OR even a way to set the user photo via cmdlet which would ignore the current max size limitations?
    Thanks,
        Brandon

    If you deploy Exchange Server 2013 and Lync Server 2013, the photos can be stored in a user’s Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 mailbox. That allows for photo sizes up to 648 pixels by 648 pixels.
