Picture sizes in iPhoto 6
Hi,
After upgrading to iPhoto 6 I noticed that all the pictures in my 'Library' section are all now 320x240. However when I navigate to the actual folder that the picture is in I find that the picture is the actual size it should be, 1600x1200.
I navigated to my iPhoto directory and found that there are two folders: Originals and Modified.
Is anyone experiencing a similar problem? How do you fix this, I want the Library to have original size pictures.
I'm an idiot.
I recently transfered all my pictures from my old Mac to a new one manually by the use of an ethernet cable and then enabling personal file sharing on both macs. I used the iPhoto on the new mac too Import to Library the pictures in the iPhoto Library: Data folder... not the Originals or Modified folder... so now im left with small versions of all of my old photos... ohhh well.
I doubt there is anything I can do seeing as how the pictures on the old Mac have been deleted off. Tsk tsk tsk. At least the new pictures I just downloaded from my digital camera are proper size. I guess I learn from my mistakes. I need to purge some old photos anyhow. The only ones I'm most irritated over are my NYC and Cuba pictures.

When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books. I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened. Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto. Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?
Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

Why won't pictures imported from hard drive Pictures folder show full size in iPhoto?
I imported the photos from my Mac's "Pictures" folder into iPhoto. Some of the pictures I imported just appear in iPhoto as a tiny photo about an inch tall, surrounded by black. If I open them directly from the Pictures folder on my Mac, I can make them full screen. Is there a way to do that in iPhoto? I expect this is happening because of the low resolution of the photo, but I still would like to be able to see it full screen in iPhoto.
iPhoto shows you the image at full resolution. If the image is tiny then it's tiny.
You can magnify an image by 300%. In edit mode hold the option key and tap the 2 or 3 button. -
I am trying to make a Photo Book using IPhoto for my granddaughter's wedding. I am using 6 pictures per page, as I have many pictures to add to book.
The picture size is small. But when I zoom is all the way down to the end to make smaller. Doesn't go far enough. When I try to put a picture in the square spot, it cuts off part of the picture. Has anyone else had this problem, and could help me out. I really would like to put on each page even more pictures, but that is not an option with IPhoto. I have used other sites to make books. This is my first try with IPhoto. I may have to revert to the old familiar ones. Wanted to give this one a try. My granddaughter leaves for Germany on the 21st to join her marine husband. I am quickly running out of time. (The wedding was this past Saturday)Place it the book, right click on it and fit to frame

How can I reduce the size of IPhoto ?
I have tested IPhoto with a few hundred pictures.
I do not find this software very user-friendly, in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures. I kept fortunately a copy of my complete set of my photo collection.
I removed all pictures from IPhoto, but the application shows a size of 600 Mb.
How can I reduce the size of IPhoto and recover this storage space?patrick
in particular because I can no longer locate the files of these pictures.
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.

Use the Get Info window to remove unwanted language resources.

Is there a way to control the sizes of pictures displayed when one clicks on individual thumbnails in photo pages in iWeb. They display at 600 pixel size along the longer side. If one then drags and drops them onto the desktop and subsequently opens the resulting file in Photoshop the downloaded picture is a full 800 pixels along its longer side. This is more than I prefer and makes for a long upload time for websites with hundreds of pictures. A 400 - 500 pixel size would suit me better. Is anyone aware of some method to change this default picture size? Maybe some plist hack?
PowerBook 15" 1,67GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)Thanks for your reply. By dragging and dropping I was referring to the end viewers of the website being able to drag the pictures to their desktops in a fairly high resolution. Sorry for not being clear about this. The thing is I don't want the end viewers to be able to have images of more than approx. 400-500 pixels. All my images start off in Aperture and wind up in iWeb via the Aperture2iLife software from lightboxsoftware.com. To simplify the workflow I'm trying to keep other apps out of the loop, hence no iPhoto.
I think my solution may have to be to Publish to a folder from within iWeb, find the appropriate images in their folders and batch run them through an Action in Photoshop to resize them to a smaller size before uploading the website. The downside of this of course is the added step in the workflow including another application in the loop but I guess the upside is I can use the opportunity to stick a watermarking routine in the batched Action. -
Sharing a photo from Finder to Facebook reduces picture size
Yesterday I installed 10.8.2 upgrade and I tried sharing from finder to facebook. Picture size in finder is 720px × 437px and after sharing 346px × 210px in Facebook. How can I keep original size of the photo after share?
iPhoto for iOS always optimizes the shared photo for the site it's being shared to. The only way to edit a photo and export it that I know of is to share it to iTunes. Unfortunately that means to get the photo you have to sync with your computer, export it from the file sharing section of iTunes then share it to the site you want to put it on.
To get around this limitation I use an alternate app. My favorite is Photoforge2. It will work with any photo you have in the Photos app and export at the file size you want. You can leave the file at its original size or make it smaller. Your original file will remain untouched and the edited file can be shared back to the Camera Rool in the Photos app if desired. You can also share to a variety of sites like Photobucket or email the photo. -
How to save photos in original size with iPhoto?
I import my DSLM pictures (4000x3000) per camera connection kit to iPad. I would like to edit the pictures (in Photo Stream) with Photos and iPhotos, but both apps automatically reduce the picture size to my iPad resolution when saving - which is
not so brilliant. Now the manual says that this should happen in original size (!). So, please tell me how to do thsi?DPI - Dots Per Inch - is meaningless for digital photos until you print them. Then to have a 300 dpi photo you need 300 dots (pixels) per inch of printed photo - so a photo to be printed at 1" x 1" needs to be 300 pixels x 300 pixels - one to be printed at 4" x 6" needs to be 1200 pixels x 1800 pixels -- once to be printed at 20" x 30" needs to be 6000 pixels x 9000 pixels.
See The Myth of DPI for additional information.

How do I rename pictures imported into iPhoto from PC?
I have imported all my pictures from my PC hard drive to my (handed down) MAC. Then I did something wrong and had to 'rebuild' my photo library. That is fixed now and I have, folder by folder, imported the pictures from the MAC HD 'picture' folder into iphoto. In the iphoto 'library' there are duplicates, and even triplicates of files. I have gone through the iphoto library and 'moved to trash' (in iphoto, not the computer's trash) the copies I do not want. Will this mess up anything? I haven't 'emptied' the trash, just in case.
Now I want to rename the files in each folder. For ex, all the files in the folder 'budapest' I want to name 'budapest'(as opposed to DS122345 for example). Is this possible? Will it change the file name in the library also? Or only in the specific folder?Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
You can add a title to the photos in iPhoto, but there is no way to rename a file in iPhoto. What you can do is export the file - (Share -> Export) and use the Title as filename. It's an option on the Export dialogue.
Filenames mean nothing in iPhoto. They simply don't matter. The key to using the app is to remember that you do all your work in the iPhoto Window and don't access the files in the iPhoto Library Folder ever.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a 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.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
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.

I have an iMac ...I would like to delete 70,000 pictures from my iphoto 11 trash but it kept crashing ...what to do?
Thank you & ShineOn!Best guess on this point, though my suggestions may be shot down to the very last ...
If Terence Devlin says I am an idiot, then I will have learned somwthing from his counter-points.
Your HDD may be running low on free space, at least enough free space to process 70K photos in a single shot (an entire library, all associated as one).
You need to see how much free space vs total disk capacity is left.
Then check the size of the files you are trying to "empty trach". If those two numbers are too close, you may need to try some gymnastics.
If you have not used CarbonCopyClone, you may want to get an external drive that is 2x your internal drive. If you have room enough, download (for free) CarbonCopyClone or SuperDuper (your call, both equally good). Make a clone of yuor drive onto this external single-partition drive, which should have more than enough free space without shutting down. You do this by booting holding the "option key" so that all operations are now on the external disk.
Then you can clone this external clone back with an empty trash. Then be more careful about how large the "trash gets", by disassociating bulks such as iPhoto.
This may be an overly dramatic approach and there may be ther ways to bypass "empty trash" usage of system resources. But nothing is destructive on your original disk until the last step of cloning back, and you have a new way of making an "emergency crash" bootable disk if even that does not work. I DO run with a CCC external bootable, by the way, so the "if nothing else" effect has value. -
How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries?
How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries? One library is in my Macbook Harddrive, the other 2 libraries are in an external harddrive. Thank you!!
You can't, simply. An iPhoto Slideshow can only draw from a single library, so you'll need to get all the images into one.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $99
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for. -
When I take a picture with my iPhone and then forward the picture to an emaila ddress (regardless of picture size) it will not send the email with the pciture enclosed - any thoughts on how to fix ?????
Thanks -The collum to the right listed similar problems. The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional. I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working. However from my office it always allowed the relaying. The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
Thank you for your help. -
I have a macbook pro and I connected a new iphone to my computer. Somehow all my pictures in the iphoto app deleted. How can I get them back, and no I do not have my TimeMachine On. Please help!
If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

Need help with finding picture size
ok here is my problem i have this sphere and it works great except when you click the thumbnails to display the picture, depending on the size of the picture, the pictures can get pushed to far over, and i understand why. the x and y coord never change. now my idea is to get the size of picture and use that to adjust the x-coord accordingly. my question is. how do i get the picture size? if i can. do the pictures have to be in the fla?
heres code:
The radius of the sphere, 'rad'. You can change it if you wish
especially if you use thumbnails of a different size than our thumbnails.
var rad:Number=380;
The position of 'board' that will be defined later. 'board' is the main
container containing the sphere and the black background
that reponds to mouse actions.
var posX:Number=stage.stageWidth/2;
var posY:Number=stage.stageHeight/2;
The size of thumbnails. Change the values to reflect the size of your
images.
var thumbWidth:Number=70;
var thumbHeight:Number=53;
The thumbnail images have been imported to the Library and linked to AS3
under the names 'Small1', 'Small2',....,'Small46'. The corresponding
Bitmap objects will be stored in the array 'thumbsArray'.
var thumbsArray:Array=[];
The addresses of the images corresponding to the thumbnails are stored
in 'picsArray'. The images will be loaded at runtime when the user
clicks on each thumbnail.
var picsArray:Array=[];
The Bitmap object corresponding to each thumbnail will be placed
in a Sprite, holdersArray[i][j], as its child. We have to do this
to make thumbnails responsive to mouse clicks.
var holdersArray:Array=[];
In order to depth-sort images on the sphere, we will need to keep
track of their midpoints and the position of each midpoint in 3D.
The midpoints will be stored in 'midsArray'.
var midsArray:Array=[];
The only part of our spherical menu that is hard-wired (and a bit harder
to customize) is the number of thumbnails and their placement on the sphere.
We have 46 thumbnails placed along 7 horizontal 'circles' on the sphere.
The 'jLen' vector describes the number of thumbnails on each circle.
The first 'circle' is the north pole and contains 1 image; the second
is the circle corresponding to the vertical angle of 30 degrees
from the negative y axis. That circle contains 6 images. The next one,
at 60 degree of vertical displacement contains 10 images;
the one after that, at 90 degrees from the negative y axis, is the equador
of the sphere and contains 12 images. Past that, we go symmetrically:
10, 6, and 1 image at the south pole.
All our arrays are organized to reflect that placement of thumbnails.
For example, thumbsArray is an array of arrays, thumbsArray[i], where
i corresponds to the number of each circle. thumbsArray[i][j] is the
j-th image on the i-th of the seven circles.
var jLen:Vector.<Number>=new Vector.<Number>();
jLen=Vector.<Number>([1,6,10,12,10,6,1]);
We use the almost standard parametrization of a sphere:
phi is the vertical angle measured from the vertical axis
pointing upwards (in Flash's coordinate system this is the negative
y-axis), theta is the horizontal angle measured from the
horizontal axis pointing away from the screen; that is,
the negative z-axis. phi changes from 0 to 90 degrees,
theta from 0 to 360 degrees. For each circle, phi is constant:
0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180. 'thetaStep' contains the angular
distances between thumbnails on each circle. Except
for the north and the south pole, for each circle
the angular distance between thumbnails equals to 360 divided
by the number of thumbnails on the circle.
var thetaStep:Vector.<Number>=new Vector.<Number>();
thetaStep=Vector.<Number>([0,60,36,30,36,60,0]);
//The vertical angle between circles.
var phiStep:Number=30;
To make images tangent to the sphere, we need to tilt them
vertically and horizontally. Horizontal tilt is always
equal to the theta angle of the midpoint
of the image and changes along each circle;
the vertical tilt is based on the values
of phi and is constant for each circle of thumbnails.
var phiTilt:Vector.<Number>=new Vector.<Number>();
phiTilt=Vector.<Number>([-90,-60,-30,0,30,60,90]);
//The next four variables are related to auto-rotation
//and rotation by the user.
var autoOn:Boolean=true;
var manualOn:Boolean=false;
var prevX:Number;
var prevY:Number;
//The amount of perpective distortion. Higher values give more distortion.
//Values have to be between 0 and 180 as they correspond to the view angle.
this.transform.perspectiveProjection.fieldOfView=70;
//We define and position the container 'board'.
var board:Sprite=new Sprite();
this.addChild(board);
board.x=posX;
board.y=posY;
//We call the function that draws the border and the background
//of 'board'.
drawBoard();
//Settings for our dynamic text boxes present on the Stage.
infoBox.mouseEnabled=false;
infoBox.wordWrap=true;
infoBox.text="";
loadBox.mouseEnabled=false;
loadBox.wordWrap=true;
loadBox.text="";
loadBox.visible=false;
When the user double-clicks on a thumbnail, the corresponding image
will be loaded into 'loader' - an instance of the Loader class.
'loader' is a child of the Sprite, 'photoHolder', which is a child
of the MainTimeline.
var photoHolder:Sprite=new Sprite();
this.addChild(photoHolder);
photoHolder.x=200;
photoHolder.y=100;
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
photoHolder.addChild(loader);
photoHolder.visible=false;
We will literally 'build' a shere of thumbnails by positioning
them in a Sprite called 'spSphere'. The moment we assign
any of the 3D properties to 'spSphere', for example a value for the z coordinate,
spSphere becomes a 3D container. That means we can place elements in it
in 3D. We will also be able to apply 3D methods to 'spSphere', e.g. rotations.
When 'spSphere' becomes a 3D display object, it has transfrom.matrix3D property.
The latter property holds all the information about the current 3D state
of 'spSphere'.
var spSphere:Sprite=new Sprite();
board.addChild(spSphere);
spSphere.x=0;
spSphere.y=0;
//We move 'spSphere' backwards to avoid distortion of the front thumbnails.
//You can experiment with different values for the z coordinate.
spSphere.z=rad;
//We call several functions defined later in the script.
//They names tell it all.
setUpPics();
buildSphere();
spSphere.rotationY=0;
spSphere.rotationX=0;
spSphere.rotationZ=0;
spSphere.filters=[new GlowFilter(0x666666,1.0,6.0,6.0,2)];
rotateSphere(0,0,0);
setUpListeners();
//The function that draws the black rectangle behind our sphere.
//You can change the values below to change the size and the color
//of the background. Those values do not affect the sphere itself.
function drawBoard():void {
board.graphics.clear();
board.graphics.lineStyle(0,0x333333);
board.graphics.beginFill(0x000000, 0);
board.graphics.drawRect(-640,-490,1180,1080);
board.graphics.endFill();
//We add all the necassary listeners. They are self-explanatory.
//Note that holdersArray[i][j] is the Sprite that contains the
//j-th thumbnail on the i-th circle.
function setUpListeners():void {
var i:int;
var j:int;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,autoRotate);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,boardOut);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,boardMove);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,boardDown);
board.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,boardUp);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,doneLoad);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,loadingError);
photoHolder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,holderClicked);
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
for(j=0;j<jLen[i];j++){
holdersArray[i][j].doubleClickEnabled=true;
holdersArray[i][j].addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,picClicked);
The functions that are executed in response to events to which we listen.
The next one runs when a loaded picture is clicked.
function holderClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
board.visible=true;
photoHolder.visible=false;
infoBox.text="";
manualOn=false;
autoOn=true;
'picClicked' is executed when any of the thumbnails is double-clicked.
Note that in the function 'buildSphere' below, we assigned names to
all holders, holderArray[i][j]. We need those names now to know
which thumbnail was clicked and which image to load.
function picClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
var targName:String="Double Click Image To View";
var i:int;
var j:int;
targName=e.currentTarget.name;

function doneLoad(e:Event):void {
infoBox.text="Click the image to close it.";
photoHolder.visible=true;
loadBox.text="";
loadBox.visible=false;
//Listeners responsible for mouse rotations and auto-rotation.
function autoRotate(e:Event):void {
if(autoOn && !manualOn){
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.prependRotation(-0.5,Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
zSortPics();
function boardOut(e:MouseEvent):void {

rotateSphere(prevY-locY,-(prevX-locX),0);
e.updateAfterEvent();
The function setUpPics populates the arrays thumbsArray and picsArray.
Note the organization of thumbnails by circles on which they reside:
thumbsArray[0] - the north pole, thumbsArray[1] thumbnails of the first circle
down from the north pole, etc. 'picsArray' is organized similarly.
You can, of course, subsitute your own images, use thumbnails of
dimensions different from ours. Changing the number of thumbnails and their organization
would, however, require rewritting the script a bit.
function setUpPics():void {
thumbsArray[0]=[new Bitmap(new Small1(70,46))];
picsArray[0]=["pic1.jpg"];
thumbsArray[1]=[new Bitmap(new Small2(70,105)),new Bitmap(new Small3(70,105)),new Bitmap(new Small4(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small5(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small6(70,53)),new Bitmap(new Small7(70,53))];

In the next function we actually create a 3D sphere of thumbnails by positioning
them in 3D within spSphere. Note the center of the sphere is at (0,0,0) of
spSphere. It might be worth recalling that with our interpretation of
phi and theta each point P=(x,y,z) on the sphere corresponding to given values
of phi and theta is given by:
x = rad * sin(phi) * sin(theta),
y = -rad * cos(phi),
z = -rad * sin(phi) * cos(theta).
Within the function, we populate 'holdersArray' and 'midsArray'. We assign thumbnails
to holdersArray elements, position holdersArray elements, tilt them, give them names.
We literally build our sphere.
function buildSphere():void {
var i:int;
var j:int;
var tStep:Number;
var pStep:Number=phiStep*Math.PI/180;
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
holdersArray[i]=[];
midsArray[i]=[];
tStep=thetaStep[i]*Math.PI/180;
for(j=0;j<jLen[i];j++){
midsArray[i][j]=new Vector3D(rad*Math.sin(i*pStep)*Math.sin(j*tStep),-rad*Math.cos(i*pStep),-rad*Math.sin(i*p Step)*Math.cos(j*tStep));
holdersArray[i][j]=new Sprite();
holdersArray[i][j].name="pic"+String(i)+"_"+String(j);
holdersArray[i][j].addChild(thumbsArray[i][j]);
thumbsArray[i][j].x=-thumbWidth/2;
thumbsArray[i][j].y=-thumbHeight/2;
spSphere.addChild(holdersArray[i][j]);
holdersArray[i][j].x=midsArray[i][j].x;
holdersArray[i][j].y=midsArray[i][j].y;
holdersArray[i][j].z=midsArray[i][j].z;
holdersArray[i][j].rotationX=phiTilt[i];
holdersArray[i][j].rotationY=-j*thetaStep[i];
zSortPics();
'zSortPics' depth-sorts all thumbnails corresponding to each view of
the sphere. It sorts thumbnails by removing them (or more precisely
their holders, holdersArray[i][j], as children of spSphere and then reassigning
them based on the z-coordinates of their midpoints.
function zSortPics():void {
var distArray:Array=[];
var dist:Number;
var i:int;
var j:int;
var k:int;
var curMatrix:Matrix3D;
var curMid:Vector3D;
curMatrix=spSphere.transform.matrix3D.clone();
while(spSphere.numChildren>0){
spSphere.removeChildAt(0);
for(i=0;i<7;i++){
for(j=0;j<jLen[i];j++){
curMid=curMatrix.deltaTransformVector(midsArray[i][j]);
dist=curMid.z;
distArray.push([dist,i,j]);
distArray.sort(byDist);
for(k=0;k<distArray.length;k++){
spSphere.addChild(holdersArray[distArray[k][1]][distArray[k][2]]);
holdersArray[distArray[k][1]][distArray[k][2]].alpha=Math.max(k/(distArray.length-1),0.5) ;
function byDist(v:Array,w:Array):Number {
if (v[0]>w[0]){
return -1;
} else if (v[0]<w[0]){
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
The function that rotates the sphere in response to the user moving the mouse.
Note we are setting the z coordinate to 0 before rotation. Otherwise,
the non-zero translation coefficients produce undesirable effects.
Note also that we do not use this function in 'autoRotate'. That is because
when the sphere auto-rotates we want it to revolve about is pole-to-pole
axis. That means prepending rather than appending rotation.
See the function 'autoRotate' above.
function rotateSphere(rotx:Number,roty:Number,rotz:Number):void {
spSphere.z=0;
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(rotx,Vector3D.X_AXIS);
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(roty,Vector3D.Y_AXIS);
spSphere.transform.matrix3D.appendRotation(rotz,Vector3D.Z_AXIS);
spSphere.z=rad;
zSortPics();I won't be searching thru all that code to try to find something relevant to your post, but if you are using a Loader to load the images, you can get the width and height as soon as the loading is complete using the loader object (loader.width, loader.height). You just need to wait until loading is complete, so you'll need a listener for that if you don't have one already.

Why I cant view my picture on my iphoto and if I try to copy to any folder it Shows "The item on the clipboard cant be pasted to this location. (One or more of the item may have been deleted or are no longer available) "
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. Describe the problem as fully as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Maybe you are looking for
