Reduce size for import

Greetings. I'm trying to make a postcard or otherwise half-page document with a photo from my library. When I attach/import the photo, it attaches very large and can't be used. I've tried cropping - but the photo imports so large that cropping is clumsy and doesn't seem to be the right tool. I'm simply trying to reduce the image size - make a thumbnail, if possible. Thank you!!

Hi EmmieLou,
You need to reduce the resolution of the image down to 72dpi. The best program for image manipulation is Adobe Photoshop, but its rather expensive. You could also try Photoshop elements which is superb value for money. The most eceonomical route is to give GraphicConverter a go. The basic version is downloadable and if you want to upgrade to the Pro version its not too much as it is Shareware. Here's a link where you can download it:

Good luck.

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,

How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
"Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
right size for a thumbnail.
If you do a search for the image name, both the
actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
the same image, e.g. abc.jpg

Reduced size when importing

Just bought Macbook Pro. I transferred my photos to the desktop on my Macbook from an external HD and then started importing them as folders in iPhoto. Works fine but I have noticed that for some of the photos, the size (mb) of the photo in iPhoto is reduced compared to the original one on my pc. Does anybody know why?

but at the same time it also creates small copies/thumbnails of all the photos as individual events (next to event “birthday”).
Just to be sure you're seeing this additional Event of small thumbnails in iPhoto's open window along with your other events, correct?
If the test with the second test library is the same try the following:
1 - create a new folder on the Desktlop.
2 - open about 5 photos in the birthday folder with Preview and do a Save As. Save them to the new folder.
3 - drag the new folder into the iPhoto window to import. See if the problem remains.
If the problem goes away with the new files created by Preview then the problem may be with how PCs manage thumbnails differently than Macs. If that's the case running this Automator Workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, to batch process all of your problem files may do the job. Try it on one file first and, if successful, run the batch. You can download the app from Toad's Cellar.

Recommended size for imported photos for New Ipad

The recimmendation for Ipad One and Two was 2048 x but with increased resolution I can't find any recommendations for increasing size to take advantage of the new resolution, Is anyone aware definitively what Apple recommends??

Thanks. The second link confirmed what I suspected. I mistyped the original size which had been recommended as 2304 x 1536 for the 1028 x resolution of Ipad One (which I had/have). We all knew that the Ipad resized on import but what I'm seeing now with my Ipad Three is if I don't resize my large files they zoom in on double tap much farther than if I actually resize to 2304 x implying that a different size is possible. Even knowing the Ipad may resize I much prefer to resize to optimum coming from Lightroom before import. When I import with CC I import a large RAW file and usually jpeg. I'm guessing the Ipad still uses the embedded jpeg in RAW unless you include the jpeg. No definitive info on this but best guesses.
Thanks. I didn't find those threads when searching--not a good search I guess LOL.

Image size for import?

Does iBook Author resize images you drag and drop? Or should I resize before?
Thanks.

Hallo,
I had the same question, so I just made some experiments.
What I found out is, if you are exporting your book as a ibook file (extension .ibooks), iBooks author will automatically compress your jpgs to a much smaller size, I suppose about 1024 x 768, even if the jpgs I included have been about 4800x3200, 9,2MB original size.
I checked this with another file where I used the same but small jpgs (1024x768). Both .ibooks file had the same size.
If you save your book with "save as" or "save" as an .iba file, the jpgs stay in their original size.
So the book using full size jpgs came out for example with 80 MB, the one with the small jpegs with 3.2 MB.
This means iBook author is resizing your images when you export to an *.ibook file, and keeps the size of the jpgs when you just save.

Reducing size for upload

I want to upload videos to youtube. They are of my husband's band, taken with a Fujifilm camera. The file sizes are around 50 to 650 mg (AVI). YouTube will only upload 100mg or less. I upgraded to QuickTime Pro just so I could do this. I have looked everywhere and cannot figure this out.

I don't understand how I would do this. Can I use QuickTime Pro?
Yes, depending on desired export format and compression components installed.
We thought we could use QuickTime Pro to resize our AVI's.
Re-compression to AVI container is limited to QT compatible compression formats and installed QT third-party components.
What is the difference between reg QT and pro?
The QT "structure" are a set of modules/software routines built into the newer Mac OS. The QT Player is a free media player that access the QT structures for playback. QT Pro is merely the "unlocking" of calls to the QT structures to convert and/or edit the already playable content. Be advised, however, that the ability to convert to QT files requires specific "encoder" codecs and the ability to export from QT to other formats requires specific "export" codecs. These codecs are either built into the QT structure or must be installed by the end user. Many such codecs are proprietary and must be purchased. (E.g., DivX and WMV.) "Standard" MPEG-1 files are playback only supported in QT and attempts to convert them in QT will lose audio. MPEG-2 is not natively supported by QT and requires the purchase of the QT MPEG-2 Playback component. This component does not allow the export of MPEG-2. If a specific codec is not supported in QT, you can always download and/or purchase converters for this purpose like Visual Hub, or components like DivX Pro or Flip4Mac Studio.

File sizes for importing CDs.

hello,
I have recently switched from PC to Mac and I have noticed that when ripping CDs into itunes it says at the bottom "songs 14 time 1 hour size 600MB"
is the size taken up on my MacBook going to be 600 MB?? it is Claptons unplugged album. When I used to import CDs on to my PC the total size would havebeen about 60MB.
My settings are AAC (I was using MP3 @ 128kb but thought I would change to see if it made a difference).
any advice would be much appreciated.

it says at the bottom "songs 14 time 1 hour size 600MB"
You're looking at the file size of the uncompressed music on the CD. If you RIP them as AIFF or WAV, yes, it will take around 600MB (44.1k/16-bit audio takes about 10MB/minute).
is the size taken up on my MacBook going to be 600 MB?? [...] My settings are AAC
Using a compressed lossy format at a low bitrate like 128K the files will take more like 1MB/minute, so no, it will not take 600MB of HD space. ~~Hang

Best photo size for import?

What is the best way to minimize the blurring that occurs when pictures are resized in FCP? (ref: this thread) Should I resize the picture to my intended export resolution using a different program before i import it in FCP? Does motion do this better than FCP? Only use 3+ megapixel photos? other ideas?
iMac Core2Duo 2.16 GHz 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB RAM RadeonX1600 PCIe 128 MB FCP 5.1.2

how are you viewing these blurry images? in the
canvas or an external monitor? the canvas is just a
preview quality version. also, depending on the
resolution of the image, there may be too much detail
which is being lost due to the alternating scanline
method by which your picture is displayed on a tv
yes, I'm just viewing the picture in the canvas. what kind of quality improvement can I expect in a final render to DVD?

How to reduce size of pics saved in iPhoto?

How do i reduce the size of a pic that is already saved in iphoto?

You can't. iPhoto is specifically designed to protect your original photo. You cannot change it in any way.
If you want a reduced size for use somewhere else - to upload to a website or similar - then you can reduce the size on Export, using the File -> Export command.

Reducing file size for export - best results???

I have put my art to eleven songs of a client. I am beginning to turn them into quicktime conversions movies and am trying Animation, Pixlet, H.264, Sorenson 3 (recommended by Apple Pro person). I cruntched all songs and looked at my folder - gulp - over 25 gigs (each song is approx. 3-4 gigs)...hum, can't get that on a DVD.
Now I am beginning to reduce quality, setitng key frames to automatic instead of all, reducing size. I am getting smaller file sizes but of course the stuff looks worse.
Any suggestions while I continue to try out everything? Any suggestions on the compression type? My art is moving stills from paintings, very ambient.
Thanks,

I take it you just want to get the songs onto DVD If you put all of them in one sequence (timeline) what is the total length?
iDVD will allow you to export up to two hours of video regardless of file size
Export as Quicktime Movie (not Quicktime Conversion) and import that into iDVD ..or DVD Studio Pro for that matter
Quicktime Movie will keep the "native" quality of your FCE project.

Reducing song file size AFTER importing

I now realize that I should have used the iTunes preferences to set the import file type and the quality setting BEFORE importing songs. However, I now have over 170 songs in my iTunes library, and I would like to be able to reduce the file sizes for those songs. I will change the iTunes settings before importing any more songs, but I would like to be able to reduce the sizes of those files that I have already imported. Some of them are as large as 6 MB, while most of them are around 3 MB. Both are too big. Is there any way to take care of this problem? I am particularly concerned about those songs that I imported from the iTunes store after paying for them. Songs that I imported from my CDs can be done over, but I don't want lose the money that I have invested on those songs that I bought from iTunes.

Your answer reverses the usual order: it starts out with the bad news but then finishes with the good news...I think. I guess you're saying that nothing can be done with the songs I have purchased from iTunes. With them, I'm stuck with 3 MB for the usual 3-minute song. Well, so much for iTunes, then. I'll certainly never buy any more songs from them. That IS bad news. On the other hand, I think you're saying that I CAN convert songs I obtain from my CDs to smaller bundles. I used to do that quite routinely when I was in OS 9, but I'm not sure of how to do it now that I'm using OS 10.3.9. I hope it's not much more difficult, but I'll just have to see. Anyway, thanks for the information. Now I have to study OS 10 and the latest version of iTunes.

There are two ways...
Either go for a device with a screen size large enough to fit entire form in the visible screen...
Or, ask the device vender to reduce the form size for u in their implementation.
Any one with a better answer ??????

Just save the document to a new jpeg file name using a lower quality setting or re-size the image down in size the save a high quality smaller new jpeg image.
