Re size photo

How do I reduce the size of my photo files, need to use them in video and they are way too large. Older version made it easy from the edit drop down tab that is not an option to re size now.

Select the photos and export - file menu ==> export - setting the desired size parameters as part of the export - this has not changed - there never has been an option to resize photos in iPhoto, on ly as part of the export

How to print out wallet size photos on 6510 e-all-in-one series photosmart printer

want to print out wallet size photos (size 3 and a half x 2 and a half). I have windows XP and my printer is the photosmart 6510 e-all-in-one series

You will have to change the settings in the photo editing software and put 2 wallets on a 4x6 or 9 wallets on a full page. The photo tray will not take paper smaller than 4x6.

Spry Slide Show-how to use one size photo for large photo and thumbnail?

Hi all,
I'm am using Adobe's Spry Slide Show. I can only use one size photo 640x480px for both the large photo and the thumbnail.
I changed the size of the small thumnail on the html:
                 <li><a href="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="490" height="367"><img src="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="63" height="47" alt="photos-1.jpg" /></a></li>
The thumbnail looks fine until you hit Live View or Preview in Browser then photo comes in full size and you can only see the upper left hand corner.
I assume that the java is doing this. But I have no training in Java.
How can I change the Java Code so the thumbnail comes in at 63x47px?
Many thanks.

Wish I could use scaled down versions of the thumbnails-but I can't.
Why not?
    img.src = info.src;
    img.style.width = "490px";
    img.style.height = "368px";
You're shooting yourself in the foot with this. It's overriding your HTML and CSS values.
As an FYI, Adobe Abandoned the Spry framework late last year.

Printer will not make 4x6 size photos

I just bought an HP Photosmart 8250 printer and I cannot print the 4x6 size photos. The printer instead pulls paper from the letter size tray. I believe it is a problem with the computer because I was able to print a 4x6 photo with just the memory card in the printer and all hook-ups to the computer detached. As far as I know, I have selected the right size paper wherever given the choice. In Mac System Preferences however, I cannot change the "Default Paper Size in Page Setup" to a 4x6 size. Is this the root of my problem? If not, what is?

Hi,
I think I might know how to fix the probem you are having. I too, just purchased an HP 8250 printer. I found that I had to go into the Advanced menu on the Print dialog box. Pick "Paper Type/Quality" and choose the Photo tray. The default is the "Main Tray" which typically holds your 8 1/2 by 11 paper.
That should have the printer pull from the proper paper tray (4x6 photo tray).
I am using the 4x6 Borderless photo paper that has a removable tab. (didn't now that until I bought it.) However, I'm still having problems getting the printer to print a true borderless print. The only way it will without giving me a white border on the left and right "landscape" or 4" edges is if I pick "Zoom and Crop" which then will do that to the picture.
If you are having that problem or if you know how to fix it, would you let me know. the one thing I am finding with this HP printer and my Mac, is that there are way too many steps when wanting to print a photo from your computer. It's a bit frustrating. I have yet to try printing from a memory card as I have always just printed directly from iPhoto. (previously used an Epson 1280)
good luck!

Is there a way to download whole albums with full size photos from picasa to iPhoto without doing it one by one?

A number of people have sent me albums of photos in picasa. There doesn't seem to be a way to import the entire album into iphoto other than doing each photo one by one. Also, when I do each photo, it doesn't appear that I can copy it into a full size photo.
These are all albums with hundreds of photos. I think in the old iphoto you could subscribe to an RSS feed to get the whole album into iphoto but I am not sure you can do this anymore. Can you?
And if not, is there a way to copy whole albums in? It would be so time consuming to do them one by one!
I am using iphoto 9.5.1

You need to
1. Download the images to a folder on the desktop.
It may be possible to download an entire album at a time, but that's a question for a Picasa forum
2. Then import the folder to iPhoto.

We can see thumbnails of horizontal photos but can't see full size photos after data transfer to new mac

hello,
We just updated to a new mac from a 7 year old Mac because the logic board died. =The Apple reseller did a data transfer and now we cannot see full size photos on our new screen. We see the thumb nails but when we try to open a photo in the photo section of the library we get a black screen with an exclaimation mark. How do we fix this?
thanks!

When you first boot your new Mac, it will boot into Setup Assistant. It will walk you through registration and then ask you if you want to migrate. Choose the disk you want to migrate from and choose all settings. No newer apps will be overwritten with older ones. No third party software will be lost. Although you should check compatiblity of apps with ML.

In iPhoto, I can see the thumbnails but not the full-size photos

In iPhoto, I can see the thumbnails along the bottom but I can't see the full-size photos - I just see a black screen. What should I do?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

Photo Thumbs Weight More Than Full-Size Photos

I have a problem with my iPod Video 30 GB. Basically when I try to sync full-size photos that weight about 3 GB and iTunes converts them into thumbs on iPod they show as being 12 GB. How can small thumbs weight more than actual full-size photos? Please note that I didn't check the "Copy full-size photos" checkbox. I tried deleting cache folder in the photos dir root and on the iPod HD. Any suggestions or solutions would be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
-Yan

I'll try to find one--not in the Apple Discussions list.
Thanks.

How to use full size photos in iWeb?

I'm trying to create a web site with photos I've taken, and I want the *full size* photos (1024 x 768, 1280 x 960, etc.) to open when a thumbnail is clicked. The whole point is to publish desktop pictures. iWeb seems intent on downsizing my pictures no matter what I've tried, which is getting very frustrating, and makes them useless for desktop pictures. How do I get iWeb to stop messing with my photos and just do what it's told to do?

I think I understand what you are trying to do. Perhaps what you could do is to basically have a page with thumbnails of your desktop pictures. Maybe you shouldn't use the readymade photo gallery templates in iWeb...they will just have the whole downsized slideshow as you have seen already. Just choose a relatively blank template page like Movie and delete the movie placeholder. Then make your desktop picture thumbnails. And then maybe you will have several different resolutions of each picture, so you make links under each thumbnail so that when they are clicked they will download the appropriate picture file. I think you just use the "Link to file" option in the Inspector panel. Good luck!

How to get rid of thumbnails who've lost their full size photos?

How do I get rid of thumbnails who've lost their full size photos?? ... ie when I spacebar on them I get the exclamation mark ;-(
I've tried rebuilding the library with all options checked; with all except the last 2; and just the first 2 on thumbnails; and the 2nd only. All to no avail!
I expect iPhoto Library Manager would do the trick but don't want to redo my faces stuff which I believe it can't cope with yet ;-()
Long story how I got here but I've re-added recovered full size files that iPhoto '08 "lost" and now in '09 I want to get rid of the thumbnails that point to the missing files.
I now have 2 thumbnails of most pictures - one that works to the full size and the other that gets an exclamation mark! ... I want to get rid of the latter.
I can obviously just press delete on the thumbnail but I need to do it ~ 20,000 times ;-()
A thought ...can I use search somehow to only return the duds?? ... then delete all.
TIA
Barry

You may have to start over from scratch as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
This will get rid of all the orphan thumbnails and give you a clean library. Before doing that you could follow the first 8 steps of Old Toad's Tutorial #1 which will write the keywords, titles and comments to the original files so they will be there in the new library.

Exporting full size photos from library to email

I want to export my full size photos (4.8MB) as an attachment to an email. However, my IMac keeps on reducing its size to 22KB - even though I indicate it as JPEG maximum. Can any help?

Just been playing with cropping in iPhoto..
Only the top two crop options are pixel sizes the others are ratios. I don't think it will do what you want..
I usually use Graphic Converter for jobs like that but Preview will work..
Drag your photo from iPhoto to the desktop > double click it to open in Preview > Tools > retangular selection > the pixel sizes are shown as you drag the selection box around. (esc will let you start again & command z will go back.) when you have what you want > Tools > Crop.
Hope that helps..

Wallet size photo I want to make an 8x10 HP340Deskjet Printer All in 1, how do i do it.

I have a HP windows 7 computer, an HP 340 All in One Deskjet Printer and one wallet size photo, . I want to know how to put this photo on my printer and somehow make it go to my pc so I can make an 8x10 out of it. Can someone help me with this.

Hey KiarraNicole!
You should be able to scan the image with the printer software and then print it at 8 1/2 x 11" when you set the print settings. Forewarning though, blowing an image up like this will likely severely degrade your picture's quality.
Hope this helps!

How do I print more than one custom-size photo on a page in PSE 10?

I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Photoshop Elements 10. I make greeting cards, and on PSE 6 I was able to print two custom-size (6-1/2” x 5”) cards on each 8-1/2” x 11” sheet of photo paper. The option to print more than one custom-size card on a single sheet of paper is not available in PSE 10. I want to know how I can print more than one custom-size card (or photo) on a page in PSE 10?

How can I order a custom size photo from iphoto?

Hi,
I have three frames that I want to order photos for from iphoto. The custom size is 5 x 5 which is no problem selecting from within iPhoto, but when it comes time to actually place the "order", there is no option to select a 5 x 5 size. Can anyone tell me if that is possible?
Thank you!

You can't from Apple. You'll have to use a 3rd party online photofinisher that offers square photos. Or print them yourself.

Should I still down-size photos for my website?

Hi - I am making a website. I know - or at least I think I know - that you should down-size your images for fast loading times. For example, if I have a photo that's 3800x3800 and is 2 MB in size, I always down-size it to maybe 1000x1000 and about 150KB or so.
I know we like to think that "everyone" has a fast web connection but I don't think that's always the case and with mobile you have to factor that in too.
A colleague working on another website asked me what I thought of her photo gallery. She had a thumb nail and when you click on it, it opens up much like a light box effect. Her large photo is 1200 x 1200 and is 1 MB in file size. I pointed out to her that she may want to take the larger photo and if she wants to keep the 1200 x 1200 fine, but she may want to reduce file size. I got it down to about 180KB and sent them to her side by side. She said she was worried about the quality (I honestly did not notice anything but maybe her eyes are better than mine).
I know there's always a catch-22 of "quality vs. file size." So with all of this said, I'm just asking for links, opinions, and so forth about this. I also tried explaining that phones don't always have great connections so the down-sizing should be taken into consideration.
Should I continue to scale down my photos like I have been as described above? Or doesn't it matter any more - that I can take a 1 or 2 MB photo and just use that for my web image to display in a photo gallery?
Any thoughts, links to articles, etc., are appreciated. Thanks, Deaf Guy

Hi Osgood - I'm fully aware of shooting high res and down-scaling for whatever you need the image for. Some folks I've worked with over the years were totally unaware. They thought you could shoot a low-res image and then blow it up to your heart's desire.
I totally understand and respect your thoughts on your post. I basically look at as to each his own - whatever makes you and your clients happy is the key. At the same time there should be at least a minimum amount of standards and expectations, too. Taking a client photo that was given to me and it's 2500x2500 and 2.5 MB and they say, "Stick this on my web page," I think it's important that they understand that this is not smart because of the large file size, possible slow connections and so forth.
The only time I would post it as is if it was some kind of photo gallery where you would want the person to have access to the large file (similar to what iStock does).
I think educating your client is also important. When I sent the side by side photos to her, she said, "So how do you do this?" This person is also a web developer to boot. I'm not criticizing her, but I thought most web developers would at least know about scaling down photos for websites.
But anyway, thanks for your post on this.
