Problems resizing photos?

In my search to resize photos without exporting the I discovered that clicking on the little arrow on the bottom right corner of a photo gave a menu that allowed an edit in an external editor  (photo shop). That accomplished, 'save as' replaces the photo in iphoto library with the smaller photo. Iphoto, however, still displays the original size in the 'info' tab.  When the photo is edited an option to 'make a copy' appears.  Make the duplicate and delete the version edited in photoshop. Bob's yer Uncle!  I've been fighting with this over the years as my photos got bigger and bigger.

Yes - iPhoto uses a SLQite database and does non destructive editing - the contents of that database must never be changed by any program other than the database manager (iPhoto)  because when the database manager accesses the photo it will not be what is expected
So when you edit a photo no changes are made - an edit list is created and when you display or export that photo those changes are applied to the original - if it is different than it was when the edits were made then the results will be wrong
in any case you must NEVER make any changes in the structure or content of the iphoto library - doing so corrupts it. if you want to destructively edit photos or manage their location or in any other way corrupt the library you should not use iPhoto - you should use a program that does what you want

    Hello

    Steve,
    I did say, and mean,
    I rustier in German than Steve may be ~ I may be rustier in German than Steve.
    inspired by the German word order, or the little green guy with the long ears, or something.
    French is quite a bit further down my language list (limited to small bits), the main source of understanding/recognizing being the corresponding loan words in English.
    At least some years ago I could read and understand all the half/full page German sentences effortlessly, but even then I was banned from helping our kids with any German homework.

  • Problems exporting photos in iPhoto 6

    When I try to export photos from iPhoto to my hard drive, I get an error message that says:
    "Directory Exists: exists as a directory at this destination. Aborting export."
    This directory doesn't exist - I've tried creating several different folders, but to no avail. If I drag the photos directly to my desktop from iPhoto they work fine, but I can't export resized photos this way.
    Has anyone else seen this problem, and if so, is there a fix for it? Thanks in advance!

    LH ,  i quote you, "
    As I said previously if you want a BIG image export as a TIFF and it will be very big - but not any better quality than the 1.2 mb JPEG
    and something is wrong with your observations - if you have a 9 mb JPEG (which is not really likely)" 
    first let me say, i am not blind and i am looking at the info on the image in iPhoto.  second, i know how to read the info.  i have been doing this for a long time.  i have some images that have loaded higher than that from the camera.  i have a full frame camera with 25mb and it takes higher mb images. 
    keith, yes alitle is understandable but that much is not.  i am not changing the size when exporting.  also,  the only problem with exporting original, i might have tweaked or cropped in iPhoto. 

  • Resize photos option in Preview not working

    I use Preview to resize my photos depending on where I'm posting or sending to. Since I've downloaded Yosemite I will resize photo  and it's not working. I have my photos in iCloud drive & am working between an iMac and a iMac Pro. I'm trying to resize to send out to  have printed vs. at home printing. This problem has only happened since upgrading to Yosemite. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Resizing works fine here.
    Best practice is:
    Open image in Preview
    Tools > Adjust size;    enter the new values and click OK
    Press the option button then     File Save As give it a new name and save to desktop

  • Resize photo and insert cutline

    Using ID2 on on Mac G3.
    Back when using Pgm I could resize photo proportionately by holding the shift key (restraint key) down and resize .. no problem.
    Can't seem to do this in ID2. Have to go in and actually specify percents to resize.
    Also having problem insert text cutline-caption under photo that have with text wrap. Trying to make separate text frame for cutline. Would increasing the distance for the wrap under my photo help. Would that allow me to insert a new cutline text frame there??
    Silly questions I know, but I have never quite learned ID since I was Pgm user for many, many years and old habits are hard to break.

    It is not at all clear what the photo shop is asking for - digital photos simply do not have CM - they are just bits - when printed (what the Photos Shop is doing) you set a size (just as you did when you printed to PDF) - no photo on a CD has any dimensions associated with it
    As to sending PDF's - that is for the Photo Shop to tell you - typically I would expect them to want a JPEG or TIFF - not a PDF - but that would be specific to each shop
    Is short if they have a specific preproduction work flow they need you to follow they will have to give it to you - no one but your Photo Shop knows what their requirements and capabilities are

  • Resize photos for online use

    I have been trying all afternoon to resize photos for online use and can not follow directions given.  I know it must be simple but I am stumped.  I would like to speak to a real person and I'm sure my problem will be solved in less than five minutes.  PLEASE do not tell me to follow guidelines; I have tried that.
    Kay Wilhelm

    Hi Kay,
    As an example, let's say we're trying to prepare this 1000x664 pixel, 1MB image for online posting. 
    If the website you're posting to is giving you a maximum dimension, for example that the image has to be 600 pixels across or less, then follow these 4 steps:
    1. Go to File -> Save for Web
    2. In the Save for Web panel, look for the Image Size boxes. 
    3. Enter the desired dimension.  For example, if the website you're trying to upload to requires that images be 600 pixels across, enter 600 in the Width box.  The height should recalculate automatically. 
    4. Hit the Save button.  You will now have an image saved to the required pixel dimensions!
    If the requirement is for a maximum file size, rather than specific file dimensions, you would follow a different procedure.  If we were trying to resize the same 1000x664 pixel, 1MB image to a size of 100KB or less, we would follow these steps:
    1. Go to File -> Save for Web
    2. In the upper right hand corner of the Save for Web panel, make sure the format is set to JPEG.  Our original image was a PNG, which tends to have a larger file size.  JPEG images tend to have a smaller file size.
    3. In the Save for Web panel, look for the projected size of the file as saved with the current settings.  This is below the lower left hand corner of the image.  In this case, it is 170KB, which is higher than our desired maximum size of 100KB.  
    3.  The easiest way to control the file size at a given pixel dimension is by reducing the image quality.  The controls for image quality are in the upper right hand corner of the Save for Web panel.  The default setting for JPEG exports is 60%. 
    4.  You will need to determine how far you want to reduce the image quality in your particular case.  In this example, we can reduce the quality from 60% to 40% without affecting the visible image quality too much.  Setting the quality to 40% reduces the image size to 99KB, which is below our maximum of 100KB.
    5. When you are satisfied with the quality settings, press Save to save your image. 
    Hope this helps!

  • I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  Pics and videos have been deleted too.

    I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted.  I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either.  Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again?  Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost?  I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be.  Please help if you can.

    I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
    Need help too!!

  • Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

    Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
    Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

    Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

  • Looking for app to quickly with keyboard shortcut (i.e. Control   R) resize photos like I can do with Irfanview in Windows

    Hello,
    I am trying to switch from Windows to OSX but must first find Mac equivalent solutions for daily tasks performed in Windows.
    1. I am looking for an app to quickly resize photos using keyboard shortcuts, i.e. Control + R, just like I can do with Irfanview in Windows.
    2. I am looking for an app which will quickly resize multiple photos like I can do with Irfanview.
    3. I am looking for another (or the same) light weight app to quickly convert and combine one or more jpgs to PDF. The windows app I am currently using is called JPEGtoPDF from www.compulsivecode.com.
    Many thanks for helping me switch to OSX!

  • Problems downloading Photos from 8900 smartphone

    Hi
    Im having problems downloading photos stored on an SD card from my BB to PC.
    Ive looked at the other posts and turned on mass storage accordingly.
    When I connect my BB to the PC using the USB link, the BB informs me the mass storage mode is being activated and requests a password, which I enter.
    However, the BB does not appear in the Devices list in the My Computer screen on the PC.
    Does anyone have ideas as to the problem??
    I have lots of photos on there, so want to avoid sending dozens of mails to get the photos off the BB.
    Thank you

    Hi stuart_fraser,
    Have you checked the Windows Device Manager to see if the BlackBerry and/or Mass storage device shows up?  Also, the BlackBerry may show up in "My Computer" as a removable storage device.
    Thanks

    Self explanatory.
    You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
    Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

  • Problems with Photos and Fonts and Explorer

    I am having problems with photos and fonts when my site is viewed on Explorer. The site is Ostyn-Newman.com The problems can both be seen on the start page -though they happen throughout the site. The photo is supposed to be only 30% opaque and it shows fine on Firefox or Safari, but Explorer viewers get the photo being used as wallpaper at 100% and this steps all over the text. Should I give up a using a photo as wallapaper?
    Also the font I am using for "Ostyn-Newman Objects for Fine Homes" shows well in Firefox and Safari, but looks really bad on Explorer products. Should I just change the font? I am currently using Snell Roundhand.

  • Problem sending photos via email since I recently updated to iLife 11.

    Having problem sending photos by Email since I upgraded to iLife11.
    I followed the instructions.   I used to just select my photos and then a screen would come up to compose an email.
    Now it comes up with templates and I had to set up what account to send them from.  No matter what I do, it just
    never goes thru.  
    What's the solution?  

    Set Mail as your preferred email client in the iPhoto Preferences -> General

  • I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error, "iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found". Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).
