Pixelated Images on Web Gallery - Help!

We have been receiving complaints from our clients that our web gallery images are pixelated - and indeed they are to the point that you cannot recognize the person in the image! I have tried to upload different resolutions - high (3000 pixels or more) and low (900 x 1000 or so) and nothing seems to change the way the images look. We use bridge we gallery for clients to order from, so this is obviously effecting what they want to order. Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this? Please help!

I am not sure how to determine that. The only options available there are for Small - Extra Large images, nothing about the size in K. When it is in Bridge it looks the way all photos look in Bridge, but when I actually upload it to the web that is when things get ugly.

CS4 Bridge - Black stroke around image in Web Gallery

More specifically, I'm using the LightRoom Flash Gallery selection as that provides just the structure that I want/need. To match my website (still in construction) I've altered the colors in Bridge's controls. Separately, I've added a frame around each image in Photoshop with a dropshadow that bleeds into the background color (again, to match the website).
The problem is that there is a 2 pixel stroke around the image.
Unfortunately since the image has a frame of its own with a drop shadow bleeding to the page color as part of the image, and that there's a 2 pixel stroke around the image, I've got a dropshadow contained within a stroke frame around the image that already has a frame. To my eyes it looks rather silly.
Is there anything I can do to get rid of this stroke? You can see two images with the problem here:
http://thecoynes.com/hdr/hdr_photographs/
By the way, before you suggest it, in the color palette options for this Web Export, there is an option for "Border." Unfortunately that is for the 1 pixel round-corner-rectangle border around the thumbnails and image. It doesn't do anything to *this* border. In addition, the structure of this web gallery is EXACTLY like the one in LightRoom and has the exact same results and problems.
Thanks for any help,
Gary

Tomrock,
Please read the last paragraph where I start "By the way, before you suggest it..."
In other words, yup, I've tried that and it refers to the 1 pixel border around the thumbs and the overall image.
Thanks for suggesting anyway, I've spent way too much time on this already.

Missing images in web gallery- strange lines??

When I make a web gallery and publish to .mac a couple of images appear to be missing or are cropped.. its really odd.. everything looks fine in the preview. Also I sometimes get these really strange thin lines through my images.. I usually dont notice them until I get my prints done.. Has either of these happened to anyone? Thanks.

nikinoo --
In the past I've experienced the same problem with some web galleries. The problem went away after I quit Aperture & then opened it up again. I then went and republished the problem gallery without a hitch.
I too have experienced lines running through my images, but it's been quite some time -- The upgrades that Apple has released appear to have corrected the problems. It might be helpful for you to list what printing settings you are using, there are tons of people here who should be able to help.

Low quality images in web gallery from Output Module

So when I create a web gallery slideshow using the output module I get SUPER-low quality images, like big jagged, pixellated lines in place of any diagonal line in the pictures. However, only photos in the portrait orientation are affected by this problem. Landscape-oriented photos look perfectly normal, just smaller.
My first thought was that maybe the images were low quality in the web gallery preview but wouldn't be in the actual saved file, but alas I saved the index.html file and when I preview it in my web browser I get the same result with the portrait-oriented photos.
Any idea how to fix this? Other than only using landscape photos in my gallery of course!
Thanks!

The same problem here. I've noticed it just yesterday, but my Safari rendering is affected the same way.
I don't think it has anything to do with the recent updates. I reinstalled my MacOS X Leopard day ago and all the images (jpg, gif) have been somehow in lower quality ever since that moment. Even before I installed all new updates today.
The strangest think is, that it wasn't like this before the reinstallation. I used the same media, and I have, indeed, the same machine.
I'm hopeless. Have you already found some solution? Or anybody? Would be great...

Flash Web Gallery HELP

I decided to create a website to showcase some of my graphic
design work and I have been stumped for over three weeks of how to
insert a flash web gallery. I bought this gallery from Entheosweb
awhile ago and have been trying to correspond with their customer
service but to no avail. I created a basic layout in photoshop with
a simple header and footer and a body thats at least 840 x 490
(dimensions of the gallery). I've been using dreamweaver to upload
the files to my web host and when I exhange the code of the gallery
for the image (body) code it is uploaded but cannot be seen on
http://www.al-burke.com. You
can actually right click the gallery and press play and it will
appear. Will this happen for all visitors to the site? Also, I am
not sure where to put the images and the important files of the
gallery in my root folder. Thanks for your help.

I tried access the URL provide, however, it appears you've
emptied your root directory.

ONLY 10 IMAGES IN WEB GALLERY!

I am just starting to use this wonderfull tool (bridge) I love it so far. I have ran into the problem where i can only put 10 images into a web gallery even though i have 50 selected.
First is there a limit to the number of pictures you have in the web gallery?
Secondly can anyone help me out there?
-Thanks Alot
Mark

Hi Mark,
If you are talking about what you see in the Preview, then yes, that is restricted to the first ten images in your selection.
If you go ahead and create the web Gallery and then view it, you will see all of your selected images.

Pixelated images in safari, please help.

Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help me with a issue i have with my new macbook pro.
When browsing the net, safari and firefox show really pixelated images. I thought it might be my internet connection compressing data or something, but i have tried other computers on the same internet connection and the images show perfect...
So this makes me think its the macbook. I have upgraded snow leopard from 10.6 to 10.6.2 and updated safari, but unfortunately this didnt help my problem. So now i have ended up here, asking you people, coz im out of ideas.
I will include some screen shots so you can see exactly what i mean.
Notice the bad quality images and even on google's banner it is pixelated heaps...
Please help if you can. Its very annoying. Cheers.

Yes, I see the big ugly squares. They are what appears whenever extremely heavy JPEG compression is applied to a low-resolution image tht has relatively large areas of similar colors. Something somewhere is applying such compression to the pages, or portions of them, that you are viewing in your browser(s). Your MBP is not doing that: it can't. Either the page images (or parts of them) are being compressed by the website owners or, if every web page is affected, they are being compressed by your ISP in the process of being transmitted to you, as Gordito suggests. That would greatly increase the speed of page loading, but at the expense of image quality. You wouldn't see the image degradation on an iPhone or cell phone — the screen is too small — but on the MBP's high-resolution display it would be much more apparent, IF the MBP were receiving the signal in the same highly compressed form as the phone. If the MBP receives the same web pages through an ISP that doesn't over-compress them, they'll look the way they ought to look. So if you are receiving these web pages through a cellular ISP rather than through a broadband connection, take the MBP to a wifi hotspot and connect through wifi instead. I bet things will look different then.
Compressing images is something a web browser can't do: a browser just displays the signal that comes to it.

Aperture to .Mac Web Gallery Help please. Urgent !!

Hi, I having been going round in circles trying to figure this out -
Q1) I cannot find a way to update to my published .Mac web gallery from Aperture(2.1)
When I select the versions that I want to add to the gallery I drag them into the Web
Gallery album in the projects inspector and synchronize the gallery to update, but
only the Master images are added to the published web gallery, not the versions !?
Q2) Also, when I originally created the Web Gallery album Aperture imported my entire
project (All masters, complete stacks, vers etc) but somehow only published the versions
I had selected for publishing to a .Mac Web Gallery. Why has aperture included the Masters,
complete stacks etc in the Web Gallery album ?
If someone could help with this, particularly Q1, it would be much appreciated as I have
a client waiting to see more versions which I cannot manage to add to the existing
published Web Gallery for that client.
Thx

Hi Ernie, thx for responding.
I have tried everything, but same result - Aperture only publishes the unedited Master, not the version with Adjustments. When I originally published images to the .Mac web gallery I disabled all downloads, as the gallery is intended for client review & selection only.
Some further questions if you don't mind.. Am I doing the right thing in dragging versions from the project to the Web Gallery album (in projects inspector)? When I do that I see that Aperture copies both the Master & version to the web gallery album (they are both visible in the web gallery album) The problem is that only the Master is published to the .Mac web gallery (which i don't want), and not the edited Version(which I do want) This worked ok the first time around when I created the web gallery album and published it to .Mac galleries, however I did notice that the web gallery album in Aperture contains the entire contents of the project (Masters, complete stacks & versions etc)
The Aperture manual is very vague on adding new images to a web gallery album and publishing them to an existing >mac Web gallery. It says that this can be done, but not how to do so. I may be missing something simple and obvious, but the Aperture user manual is really not sufficient in this area. Any further ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thx again.

How to get rid of the large slideshow images in Web gallery (CS4)

Here is the deal.
I've created a flash web gallery/ But the new CS4 has the option for slideshow with this flash stuff. CS3 use to create thumbnail and large images folders. The new one creates 3 folders: 1. thumbnails, 2, medium images, 3 large images (for the slideshow). That's great, until I go to upload process. I have pretty limited space. So I'm ready to get rid of the slideshow option, but there's no such option in gallery creating process. The only solution I have in mind is to redirect slideshow images to the medium size folder. But thats pretty annoying process during the creation of each gallery.
So does anyone has an idea how to skip the slideshow creation or another method to skip creating 3 folders, all with the same images?

Extend DefaultListCellRenderer, not BasicComboboxRenderer. Here's an example that wraps the original renderer and uses it where possible (i.e. instanceof JLabel). No 'white square'.import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import javax.swing.*;
public class ComboRendererTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

      public void run() {
        new ComboRendererTest().makeUI();
public void makeUI() {
    JComboBox comboBox = new JComboBox();
    comboBox.addItem(new Double(1));
    comboBox.addItem(new Double(2.25));
    comboBox.addItem(new Double(3.5));
    comboBox.setRenderer(new TwoDecimalRenderer(comboBox.getRenderer()));
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.add(comboBox, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(200, 200);
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setVisible(true);

public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
          int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {

Link to high resolution image in web gallery

Hello.
Is there any way to include a link to a high or full resolution image using the web gallery creation tool? (similar to the option available in various jAlbum galleries)
So sorry if this is a repeat question...
Lightroom 1.3.1
OSx 10.4.11
Thanks!

Check out the galleries at The Turning Gate http://www.theturninggate.net/. Matthew has at least one Gallery, AFAIK that does what you want.

Web Gallery help separating photos into 2 collections

Help creating web gallery please. I would like to separate photos in the gallery into 2 different collections or categories. When I set up my web gallery in LR 2.0 and choose the first set of photos, I can name this collection title on the right panel. How can I then set up a second collection with different photos so they both show up in the gallery on the web and a viewer can choose either topic and then view the photos within it? Thanks.
Matthew Kraus

You need to create a master gallery page and link to the pages within. There is no automatic way to do this.
There are 3rd party options: LRB Portfolio (disclaimer: mine), Auto Index from The Turning Gate will do this with Galleries from the Turning Gate.

Web Gallery HELP! Change background?

need to figure this out asap!
can i change the background in web gallery from a color to an image? in LR?
or Dreamweaver?
How?
This might be simple web authoring, but I cant figure it out.
thanks.

Do do about info you fill in the text box 'Collection Description' under 'Site Info'. You will notice the text in the template matches what is in that text box by default. That can be your visual cue for other edit places, too.

Adding Images to Web Gallery

After my Web Gallery is uploaded and I get additional images from subsequent shoots, I'd like to import and add them to the slideshow, then to the Web Gallery without having to re-type the Web Gallery info into the boxes again. Any way to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Only if you use a separate FTP Client and just overwrite the originals with the Sharpened ones. Make sure you are replacing the correct ones or doing them all. Most Galleries from LR generate two or three Sizes.

Bridge CS4 Output Only 10 Images to Web Gallery

Hello all,
I have, in Bridge, output workspace, selected 14 imges to be output to the web gallery and only the first 10 images are processed. Any idea as to why? Maybe it is as simple as a setting in the preferences? Thank you so much in advance.

If you are referring to what happens when you click "Preview in Browser", then yes, the output does only include the first ten images.
To preview the full Web Gallery before uploading it, you must generate the Web Gallery and then preview it by double-clicking on the "index.html" file which will cause it to open in your default browser.

Aperture Web Gallery Help

Now I know I just got the program, and feel I am fairly savvy when it comes to figuring out programs and such. But IS THE ANYWAY TO PUBLISH A WEB GALLERY TO ANYWHERE BESIDES .MAC IN APERTURE2?
I just can't seem to find the right answers anywhere else online... So forgive my ignorance but please help...

This topic has been discussed quite a bit here already.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6779280&#6779280
The short answer is no.
Much of the functionality is server side.
You can put web pages and web journals on your own server though.
