Pictures ridiculous small...

Hello,
I am new in the mac world and this is my first post. Sorry about all questions and details that might appear "stupid".
I am using iPhoto 6. Pictures size: 1600x1200
I downloaded pictures of my holiday in Mexico from my digital camera directly to iPhoto (import).
To be safe I used the Finder to do a copy of my Mexican pictures from the digital camera to a separate folder called "ALL" (outside the iPhoto Library).
The pictures were all fine (1600x1200). I watched them. Everything was ok.
Later, I wanted to import all my pictures that were still in my separate folder "ALL" (the new ones from Mexico and the old ones).
Prior to this, I deleted my iPhoto Library. I did not do any backup of the iPhoto Library as I felt safe since my pictures were all in my separate folder "ALL" (including the Mexican pictures).
Unfortunately, when I re-imported all my pictures from "ALL" to the iPhoto Library, the new Mexican pictures were all small (360x270)!!!
I double-checked my "ALL" folder and I realized that they were small there as well (360x270).
Are the original pictures (1600x1200) definitely lost or do I have chance not too have lost the beautiful holiday souvenir?
Thanks for your precious help.

I'm guessing that when you did this: To be safe I used the Finder to do a copy of my Mexican pictures from the digital camera to a separate folder called "ALL" (outside the iPhoto Library). you copied the pictures from the Folder called 'Data'.
This is the folder where iPhoto stores the thumbnails it uses to display in the iPhoto Window. What you should have copied were the photos in the Originals folder. Or you could simply have selected them all and gone File -> Export and exported full size copies of the pics to a Folder on the desktop or whereever.
Yes, if you deleted the iPhoto Library Folder then your photos are gone, unless you can recover them with a file recovery tool like File Salvage

  • Ridiculously small 27'' iMac fonts

    hi guys
    i have a late 2009 , 27'' iMac i7 , gorgeous machine, gorgeous screen, fast & everything BUT & i have this ''beef'' with it ever since i bought it :
      in some instances the fonts are RIDICULOUSLY SMALL & worse, one can't even change them, at least not satisfactoruly !? want to laugh a little ? just check this screen shot of a full-screen Safari window of Apple's own feedback page -
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/ekzrrd
      i mean, i measured them with a caliper ruler & they are EXACTLY 2mm tall - on a screen standing roughly 50cm away from me !? couldn't they AT LEAST be the same size as my name & the rest of the fonts on that screen-shot, is it RREALLY THAT difficult to implement ? or was this decided for fear 27'' screen owners might run out of space .........
      before Lion came out it was widespread on the web that this ''issue'' would be addressed but i already installed Lion &.....NOTHING !?
      this gets even more ridiculous under the recently introduced Lion possibility of running apps in full screen - i mean what's the point ?
      & PLEASE, without wanting to be insulting to no one,  spare me the ''change the resolution'' or the ''zoom in'' half-a***d solutions i already read about elsewhere & tried - that IS NOT the reason why i paid nearly 2000€ for this machine, specially since according to what i read this font size change is EASILY doable on your run of the mill 500€ PC running clunky old Windows, apparently in any of it's incarnations...........
      granted my eyesight is past it's prime but i do wear the correct prescription glasses & at the end of the day should a 2000€ computer put further strain on it ? or actually work with the user ( give him the necessary options.. ) to make his computing experience as pleasant as it's possible ? or is this because ALL 27'' iMac users have 20/20 eyesight ? i wonder....
      any suggestions would be VERY welcome since this REALLY detracts from the pleasure that using this computer IS & i strongly suggest everyone having this issue with their high res 27'' iMacs or high-res displays to write to Apple about it, asking for a solution to this very real problem :
      http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    meanwhile if anyone has a REAL solution to this i will be eternally grateful, many thanks

    That's why I prefer the earlier 24" model, nearly the same resolution as the new 21.5" but on a larger screen.
    There's always tension between two camps, those that want bigger screens to get more on and appear sharper by having higher native resolutions, and those that want bigger screens with a lower native resolution so things appear bigger.
    Traditionally the former have won.

  • Incoming emails don't display any pictures only small blue boxes with question marks

    As my question explains I am unable to view any pictures, photos, etc, all in coming mail displays writing only and small blue boxes with ? In their place.
    This problem began occasionally at first and has got increasingly worse, please help

    Try this. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Mail>Load Remote Images>On.
    If they are still not visible, quit the mail app and restart the iPad, and then look again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Sending Picture Too Small

    Sometimes when I send a picture with my LG EnV Touch it is sent as really tiny, even though I don't have it set that way. Most of the time the pictures are normal sizes but every once and a while they are sent really small. Any idea why it does this and how I can fix it? I've tried sending it to various locations to see if it would make a difference but it doesn't.

    If the picture exceeds the allowed text message size, (around 500 kb, including your text and recipient info), the photo will be auto-resized before sending. If most of your pictures do go through full size, but a few don't, your pictures may normally be very close to the allowed size, so it seems "random".
    I use the next to the highest resolution setting and that seems to work for all pictures. My phone's highest setting is 1600x1200 (2 MP camera) and those get resized more often than not. The 1280x960 sends full size every time.
    There also may be a setting for "fine" resolution or "normal" - try the normal rather than the fine.

  • IPhoto imports pictures in small resolution!

    This issue wasn't happening until a couple of weeks. When connecting my iPhone 4 to the computer and starting iPhone to import my photos, the result files are smaller than the original files. The information consigned in the iPhoto panel is that my pictures are 2592 x 1936 px. The final output is 360 x 269 px.
    Any ideas of what's happening? What can I do to solve it?

    Try importing photos from Applications --> Image Capture. Does it occur if you email the photos using the 'Actual Size option?'...is it new photos or old photos too?

  • 9360 BBM Pictures Appear Small In Size

    Hi, when I purchased my BlackBerry Curve 9360; 2 months ago, I updated my outdated apps including my BlackBerry Messenger(BBM) that had been version 6 at the time to the latest it was which was version 7. After adding all contacts needed, whenever one changed their Display Picture I'd have to zoom in on it because they were appearing to be small.
    But, when I checked a contact with the same picture on my cousin's phone, BlackBerry Curve 9320, they'd appear much larger likely to be fullscreen. I've deleted my BBM and re-downloaded it and no luck, as well as security wiped the entire smartphone as well, even adjust my camera image size settings thinking that had affected my BBM contact's Display Pictures, but no luck. I'm really struggling with this, because whenever I save one of my contact's Display Picture it would still remain the same small size as it showed on BBM in the picture folder.
    Please help with this issue, I'm looked every where, Google, BlackBerry Forums, etc. This is my last hope, and it does not appear that anyone else is experiencing this problem.

    That didn't work. And when I tested one of the photos and then reverted it back to the original, there was a black square where the picture used to be. I actually had to sync it a few times and then turn the phone off and on to have the photo back where it was. I'm assuming this is a problem that Apple is working on since the update. What a pain. But thanks anyway for trying to help.

  • Adressbook pictures sometimes small or big

    Hi!
    When I creat a contact on my iPhone and add a picture direct on my iPhone to it I can see a big user picture over the full screen when making phone calls. When I create a contact on my Mac and add a picture to them on my Mac and sync it with my iPhone I can see a small picture in the top right corner when doing phone calls.
    This is very inconsistence and I would like to have the same picture width, height, position whatever I create the contact on my Mac or on my iPhone.
    It should be the same to create a contact on a Mac or on an iPhone.
    Thanks
    Jak

    That can't be right.
    They are thumbnails in my contact application on my iPhone too. Anyway I see a thumbnail when I open my adressbook.
    When I sync my iPhone with iTunes all contacts (the one created on my iPhone and the one created on my Mac) are stored in the Mac OSX adressbook. No I can delete all contacts on my iPhone or simply use the function "replace all contacts on my iPhone with the one from my Mac". With your description the contacts from my Mac, where I have thumbnails only, are copyed to my iPhone. No I should have small pictures for every contact (The way you describe the function). But I have full size pictures for the contacts which are originally created on my iPhone. So there must be differents stored in the appropriate files.
    Or can you explain it to me in other ways?
    Thanks!

  • Replace pictures with small number of pixels

    I imported pictures, edited all of them, then noticed that they are small, eg. size 190 KB.  Trouble!!!  Is there any way to link the edited images with the full size images that are of several MB's??  Hate to lose all the work that was done in editing. 

    Responses to dj_paige questions
       1. Yes, see image size in Lightroom
       2. There are over 2000 pics in this catalog.  Some are cropped, others not.  All are KB's.
       3. "Show in Finder" shows 141 KB
    I am on a Mac.  Below is sad saga of what happened!
    1. Downloaded trip photos from Canon SX50 in early 2012, stored in file
    2. Inserted Powerpoint slides that show country, city, with history, etc to create travelogue.  These slides are in MB (eg. 3.5 MB, 1.4MB, etc.)
    3. Learned about Lightroom 5 from friend a month ago, wanted to edit photos in Lightroom 5, so saved photos and powerpoint slides on computer A to an external drive. Imported photos from external drive to computer B that has Lightroom 5 software
    4. Edited all photos
    5. Exported edited photos to hard drive, into file of LR edited pictures
    6. Dumped original files (bad move!)
    7. Noticed that exported photos are all in KB's.  Checked in LIghtroom.  Lightroom shows small image sizes.
    8. Reloaded original files with photos from external drive as before.  Tried to relink with photos in Lightroom.  Did not work.

  • Pictures too small

    When I send pictures the recipients say the pictures are very small, but when I send something from my gallery it says the picture is too big and must be resized down.  How can I send them larger?

    There is a file size limit in attachments. depending your device and their device will depends on how large it can be. But the max file size is 1.2 MB.

  • Linked picture gets smaller than its original size when it's copy-pasted.

    This confuses me because some does and some doesn't. A picture always gets smaller when I copy-paste from Mspaint. And some pictures does this too when I just copy-paste itself. So, I need to adjust size manually and it really bothers me, is there any solution for this?

    Some application disply images pixel by pixel, that is: one pixel in the image is one pixel on the monitor. Illustrator uses the image's resolution to display it.

  • After cropping picture is smaller

    Now since updated iphoto, when I crop picture it is smaller and not bigger. I use this feature and now it just makes my pictures smaller after cropping.

    It's all about the pixel aspect ratio.

  • Typewriter Tool font is ridiculously small

    I edit docs a lot with the typewriter tool. Never had a problem. Now  I dont know but all of a sudden why but the font size is like a 1 even if I set it to the max size. It's almost imperceptable the stuff I type cause its so small. How can I fix this?

    Not possible. You'll need to go to your operating system and choose a screen resolution that displays the screen with larger pixels.
    Or get a new prescription for your glasses (seriously!)
