Res. of photos in DVDSP

I know that the photos you import to DVD SP should be
720x534 at 72dpi, but in Photoshop Elements, eveytime
I try to get them to resize, I put in the 720, and
the other demension autos to 485, it won't let me go
to 720x534? Obviously am a little new to Photoshop.
But DVD SP says that's what the photos should be.
HELP
In Photoshop, you need to un-check the "constrain proportions button", (it's below were you enter the sizes.)
There's a very good "how to" at this URL: http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/fcp_homepageindex.html
Scroll down to where is the heading says: Graphics - Photoshop
This applies to DVD SP, even though it was written for FCP.

Iphoto saves edited photos to a low res image

Whenever I edit a image and save it, Iphoto displays a low res photo. How can I have Iphoto display a high res edited photo?

What type of editing did you perform on the file? And is the file a jpg or RAW? If it's a 5 MB RAW file then iPhoto creates a jpg modified version of it for display and further editing. Maybe that's why you're seeing the lower file size.
I have a couple of 7 MB RAW files that, when imported, created a 2.5 MB jpg right off the bat. It's the nature of the beast.
I just ran some editing tests on a jpg and I'm finding that a simple exposure change to a 2.7 MB file results in a 2.5 modified version. I'm also seeing an increase in file size, from 4.0 to 4.1, when applying several edits at one time, like increase exposure, adjust highlights and shadows and tweak the histogram. This surprised me as generally there's no way you can edit a jpg file and not encounter some additional jpeg compression. However, with iPhoto's nondestructive editing you only encounter a one time compression no matter now many times you edit the photo.
Unless you're producing mural size prints it will be difficult to see any degradation in the image.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Caller ID Photo Low Res Sync with Desktop Manager for Mac 1.01

Hi,
All high res ID photo's set in a contact in Address book only sync low res to the BB. Once you then to a 2-way sync the ID photo in Address book also becomes low res.
When will this bug be fixed and anyone having same issue?
Thanks
Andre

Having problems getting Blackberry Desktop for Mac installed. Had Missing Sync, but was causing duplicates. Trying to move to BDM. Followed the directions, but MS did not uninstall completely. Ran it several times.
Found also it was running DisplayLinkDriver.kext from the trash pile (on emptying trash, it would not erase, as it was being used). Use external monitor with mac. Will try uninstalling BDM (again) emptying trash, and restarting with no external monitor. Does seem like there is a bug here.

How do I control photo streaming from my iMac to my IOS devices?

I have an iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iMac running latest versions of Lion and iPhoto. I had photo streaming in the on position for each machine, and recently I downloaded over 1500 high res Nikon photo's from a vacation into iPhoto on the Mac. I wasn't really thinking about the background activity with iCloud, but later I found that my memory was used up on the iPad. When checking further, I found that all the vacation photo's loaded to iPhoto had photo streamed to the iCloud and been copied onto my iPhone and iPad. Okay like duhh.....this is how it works, I get it now, very cool, now I have no memory left. To make matters worse, there was no easy way to delete pictures from the photo stream on the IOS devices.....you have to individually check each pic to delete. Lesson learned...I turned off the photo streaming from my iMac.
But, the way I really would like to use this is to have all photo's and/or video's taken with my iPhone or iPad to be streamed into the iCloud and copied automatically to my iMac.....but I don't want the opposite to happen....ie, when I download pics from my Nikon onto my iMac into iPhoto, I don't want those to stream to the IOS devices. Basically my iMac is the major long term storage device (with backup hard drive)...I view my IOS devices as just short term storage devices, and if something needs to be saved it should up load to my iMac.
Is it possible to set up the devices this way with iCloud, ie, one way photo streaming?
thanks ahead!

iPhoto > iPhoto Preferences > PhotoStream, turn off automatic uploads.

Can't load more than one photo to new 80 GB IPod

Hello All,
I have a new 80 GB IPod and have successfully loaded one low res jpg photo but that's all I can load. I select my named folder in the photo tab window and hit "apply" and nothing happens. I've tried dragging and dropping the photos (to the photo window and to my IPod icon in the ITunes window on the left ) and that doesn't work. All my photos are small, 72 dpi jpgs. I read the answers to another user with the same question but did not find a solution.
I appreciate your time and help, Happy New Year!

Syncing Photos and My New iPad3 (A Horror Story)

I really don't know where to begin. Bought a new ipad3 and since all my tunes are on my iPhone, let full the iPad up with photos. What should have been a simple process, as my title suggests has turned into a 5 day ordeal. My issue revolves around two things that make it very hard for me to believe that this product marketed as the new magical must have device, could be beset with such fundamental problems. True it can do a thousand other things flawlessly however like many of my peers here in this forum, I purchased mine specifically for photo storage and viewing and of course this is exactly where the iPad breaks down.
What's even more frustrating is how ignorant Apple Staff (Who ever is answering the phone at their customer support number: 800-275-2273) is to these issues and that the customer has to hunt and search the Internet for solutions that make sense! It's just a shame! Trouble shooting with their experts was nothing more than a waste of time. As I have spent days researching these forums and discovering how many people have major issues with this product, I was simply blown away! The only thing I blame myself for is not reading these forums first. I doubt very seriously, let me stop playing, **** no, there is no way I would have ever brought this new iPad if I know of all these issues. . After paying almost $1,000.00 dollars for one (well iPad plus accessories) for it to have these substantial flaws is unacceptable.
Ok here's Number One. Syncing photos is simply hit or miss. There is no rhyme or reason for why some sync are successful and why others crash. It seems that the best why to make each sync successful is to limit the number of pictures and folders to as few as your patience lets you. If a sync failed if I reduced the number of pictures and folders it would complete successfully.
What's the big deal you might say, when you have over 100K images that you want to sync to your iPad, its a problem a big one, a major one, so frustrating that you want to take a golf club to it just like Daniel Tosh did on his show TOSH.0. When I spoke with tech support all they seemed to focus on was the amount of photos and adjusting dimensions and resolutions, etc. I will not share here what a said on the phone, but I think most of you know. I am suppose to readjust the size, resolution, and dimensions of 100K plus images to get them on. Absolutely not! I found that answer unacceptable! I have noticed in my reading that some members of this forum have chosen to do that, God bless them.
Some of the syncs fail right away others will only fail after waiting forever with you finger crossed, hoping to move a few more images to the iPad. Sometimes I have to power down/reboot the IPad, iTunes, etc for the next sync to be successful. How much time wasted trying to move my collection to this iPad. I am in the middle of a reboot now. So far after 5 days I have move 18,064 photos to the IPad. Wow you might say but let me tell you at great cost! During this process I completely rest.restored my IPad numerous times, not to mention how many times I rebooted my windows PC. Note worthy, one member of this forum actually wipe his PC's hard drive reinstalled his operating system and iTunes! I don't even want to consider what he might have done next!
Again this is unacceptable that Apple would have a product with these issues and basically leave their customers at their mercy! Hoping that the next release of iTunes may/may not fix the problem. I waiting a while before I wrote this just to make sure that I am not speaking out of anger, merely stating the facts.
Ok here's Number Two, Storage! The iTunes creates a folder called iPod photo cache that just get huge as you increase the number of photo's synced to the iPad. As of right now I have 17,815 photos on the iPad. ( It was suppose to be 18,064 but since the reboot all the numbers have changed. Ridiculous. Any way iTunes has put a monster folder of over 14GB on my ext drive where I store my pics. I personally feel that there should be some other way to sync them to the iPad without creating such a monster cache. The only solution I got from tech support was to reduce the size of each image in my collection. Again I will not share with you what I said on the phone, I will simply say that as a solution was again unacceptable! I personally would not even have the balls to say that to a customer.
If that was the only storage issue I could live with. Drives always seem to get cheaper and bigger. That I do love. The real storage problem is this, syncing a large amount of photos creates other files along with the syncing images that take up huge amounts of space on the iPad as other files! This makes me just want to scream and cut off my finger tips, something. To me this is unbelievable. So let me sum this up like this. In addition to the . 13.7GB my pics take up on my IPad "other" now takes up a whopping 7.7GB. All I have on the IPad is Pics and a few applications. The 7.7GB of other is a result of the synced images and no one seems to be able to tell me want the ____ is up with this.
That's 7.7GB of space that I need for may collection locked up as other files. Does the image need to be stored twice on the iPad? I have now idea. If anyone has an answer Please Help Me! No one at Apple seems to be able. I am open to anything that makes sense. I even place to crashed HD in te freezer over night, and yes it came back online recognized in windows once again.
A third problem that I did even mention is speed! Ipad why you so slow! Why you take so long to sync photos!
I just wanted to share my nightmare with all of you in hope of help. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have a solution or just want to share please email me at: [email protected]

Ah, it is interesting that this post turned up in my searching to discover how much memory the "New iPad" would require. I can sympathize with the original poster on how photos are (or not) transferred. I learned this lesson from my original purchase of an iPhone 4 upgrade from an iPhone 3. As you may know, the iPhone 4 has a much higher resolution than the iPhone 3. Not thinking, but not being forwarned, I anticipated a growing photo library. I don't recall the exact sizes involved nor am I going to go back and recalculate the sizes, but the result was something like this. I had about 11,000 photos on my iPhone and this required xxGB of storage. The library was mainly photos synced from my iPhoto library on my iMac. When I upgraded, the resolution of the photos was rescaled to the higher resolution. This meant the new library would require about 2.5 times xxGB. End result, return new iPhone and upgrade to one with more memory.
Okay, so if you are paying attention, the photos on my iPhone are reduced resolution images of those on my main computer. I hope you can see that if I were to purchase a New iPad, I need to know how much storage a photo takes on the New iPad. The poster has given some indication with 14GB for 17,000 photos. Because I have used an iPhone for a while, I was aware that iTunes/iPhoto doesn't directly scale and sync the photos directly to the iPhone. I don't know whether that is a good idea or not as the poster is disputing. I could understand there may be an efficiency in having your host computer controlling the scaling of the photos separately from the transfer operation. It would also have been interesting to discover the size of the poster's original photo library that is becoming down ressed to the iPad and the amount of storage of the New iPad.
Certainly the errors sound similar to when I was attempting to sync my new iPhone 4 with my iPhone 3. The problem was basically that I was trying to put more data into the iPhone than it had memory. Because I was doing this as a sync using my old iPhone 3 settings, iTunes failed to know how much storage the new photo library would take (as it does not up res the photos to the new iPhone photo cache first). In that respect, Apple and its support staff could have been more knowledgeable and helpful.
I cannot speak to the original poster's problem specifically, but the originals in my iPhoto library contain 26,000 photos in 229GB of storage, the modified photos contain ?? photos in 59GB of storage. It should not be surprising that I could not place the entire library into any iPad without some down resolution or compression. Yes, I prefer to let iTunes/iPhoto take care of the scaling for me. I do think it would be useful if Apple were to place some kind of guidelines as to the amount of storage one would need for photo libraries. Specifically, that is what led me to this post.

How can I get iWeb gallery to display high-res images from iPhoto?

Hi,
I'm trying to add high-res images to an iWeb gallery from iPhoto and cannot get the gallery images to display in high-res (downloaded photos are fine). iWeb settings for importing unchecked for optimisation. Page in question: http://www.samuelboden.com/Samuel_Boden/Gallery.html
Any ideas?

Since iWeb has been discontinued by Apple I'm skeptical if you'll get any help on how to hack the application in order to have larger images in the slideshow. Since MobileMe will be discontinued this June 30 and with it the galleries you might stat looking for an alternative.
One alternative that gives the user considerable latitude in image size and quality is Jalbum. It offers nearly 100 themes or skins. This demo page has one theme that lets you change skins on the fly: Jalbum Examples plus a couple of others.

Why does iPhoto convert my pics to low res?

I use an elderly MacBook (November 2007 model) with the edition of iPhoto that came with the computer. When I take photos with my digital camera and import them into iPhoto for editing, it always lowers the resolution. My original files are 300 dpi when I view them in Preview, and when I save the changes in iPhoto and export them as JPGs, even at maximum quality, the JPG files are always at 72 dpi.
Since my editors require hi-res, cropped photos, this is getting incredibly frustrating! Is there a way to make iPhoto stop doing this? Or do I just need a new computer

iPhoto doesn't change the images. The dpi means nothing at all unless you're printing. Maximum quality in the export settings refer to jpeg compression and have nothing to so with dpi.
Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

High Resolution Photos Don't Display

Hello,
We have a fully patched Lync 2013 installation with a fully patched Exchange 2013 installation. We've moved all users to the Unified Contact Store, and have had all users upload high-res photos. I can test this via the URL like this:
https://server/ews/Exchange.asmx/s/GetUserPhoto?email=[email protected]&size=HR648x648
I can definitely see high-res photos. Unfortunately, Lync doesn't display them! We get the old, low res AD photos that are horrible. I have read through everything I can find to ensure high-res photos are enabled in Lync, but they just don't display.
Any ideas on how to fix / troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
Nolan

Hi, depends what constitutes everything you could find =)
Can you confirm that the 'DisplayPhoto' attribute of your associated client policy is set to allow ALL photo's, and not just those from AD.
Use the below from Lync Management shell to query the attribute status against your client policies.
Get-CsClientPolicy | Select Identity, DisplayPhoto
Kind regards

How to get in IPhoto chosen top photo of album presented in iOS

On Mac a photo can be chosen as top photo.
In Photos on iOS a random? photo is presented.

In fact, I find the following instructions easier to teach someone how to do it (because copying a link is not easy for everybody, many people will end up clicking on the link and then not know what to do):
1- Locate the Picasa Web Album you want to import
2- Click on the link "RSS" (in blue on the right side). This opens the album in RSS mode
3- Copy the url of the page (it doesn't matter that it now start with "feed://")
4- In iPhoto, open the File menu and select "Subscribe to Photo Feed"
5- Do a "Paste" and add (by typing): &imgdl=1
Then hit Enter
6- Wait for the album to display all images.
7- Select all and copy them to the iPhoto Library with Drag & Drop
8- Delete the Feed
(wow, I am stunned it makes 8 steps when spelling things out!)
It is interesting to note that, after step 2, if you add &imgdl=1 in the url and go there, you get what seems like the same page (the album in RSS), but the links to each photo are now hi-res (the photo name under each pic). Clicking one downloads the hi-res picture via the browser.
This is not satisfactory by itself as it would need to be done for each picture, and it doesn't put the picture directly into iPhoto, but I just find it worth noting.

Fitting or resizing a photo in a drop zone

Is there a way to resize a photo in DVDSP. I have a logo that I want on my menu. It was given to me as both a jpg and psd. I tried putting either in the drop zone. Only part of the image appears in the drop zone. When I enlarge the drop zone I can get the entire image to appear, but then it's as wide as the menu screen (I just want it in a corner). I tried importing a smaller version, but that does the same, but pixilated. Is there a way to get the image to fit the size of the drop zone, not the other way around.

select then click & drag corner handle to size picture
select then click & drag in picture to move
shift alt then click & drag in picture to move picture within the drop zone frame

Ambitious project with 3D Photo Montage, Questions..

Hey guys, I've been using Final Cut for a while, I finally started putting my foot down on Motion 3 (it's been an afterthought, but when I purchased FCS 2, I knew I'd have to learn it sooner or later), and became interested in doing a 3d photo montage, cutting out my subjects from their backgrounds and breathing life into them. I'll be breaking my question down into a lame outline haha just so my question doesn't sound too broad or boring.
The Plan-
I'll be putting together a 5-10 minute photo montage for my sister when she gets married, and I've got plenty of time alloted to do this project.
The Vision-Create a 3d world of photographs of my sister and her soon-to-be-husband, photographs may range up to 80 photographs. Basically animate a single photo that is cut into different layers, then fly/dolly onto the next photograph.
The Question-Can Motion handle such a workload? (I assume yes) Or better yet, is there a workflow I should use? I hear that a Motion Project can get bogged down easily if there's too much stuff.
Other info, these photos are coming from scans, point and shoot cameras, and my nikon d90, all mixed into an Aperture Library, rated, color corrected, etc. Then I send them to Photoshop to break down the photograph into layers.
If you guys have ANY advice, this would be great, I want to put something wonderful together for my sis, this would be my most ambitious project yet.
And one last thing, i did get a tutorial video from Ripple Training, the "Motion 3 Fast Forward" from Mark Spencer (awesome job man), and I did learn how to do it, my question is how far can I take it with Motion?

Down-res your photos as much as you possibly can and you should be ok.
Here's a 2-part tutorial on doing a 3D photo fly-through:

Photos from Win XP will not Sync with 3G iphone what am I doing wrong

Need some help, just got the iphone and the only thing I can't understand is how to transfer my photos from my PC to the phone. I understand I use Itunes and point it to the folder/photo I want to sync. Itunes goes through it optimizing 1 of 29 photos (only doing 29 photos to start) but then when I go to the phone I have the normal Camera Roll Album and one folder listed. In the folder listed is only one photo which is all messed up.
I understand the phone takes photos and displays photos at one res, and I thought Itunes doesn't care what res the photo from the PC is cause it optimizes it to be viewed on the phone.
What am I missing ? and what is this folder that keeps being built ipod photo cache. Any help would be wonderful and yes I did read the "Iphone User Guide" that came with the phone.

Not sure what the issue is that you are having. Sounds like you are doing the right thing.
You point iTunes to a folder that contains pictures (or more subfolders that contain pictues...1 subfolder deep). Then tell it to sync. iTunes does its "optimize" thing. Then they sync over. Each subfolder in that folder you pointed to becomes a library.
eg:
C:\PHOTOS you point it to.
C:\PHOTOS\FAMILY
C:\PHOTOS\WORK
C:\PHOTOS\FRIENDS
C:\PHOTOS\WALLPAPER
C:\PHOTOS\MISC
are all under it.
Each of those becomes a library on the iPHone (Family, Work, friends, etc)
Photos from those folders go to phone (and photos from the root you pointed it to).
The extra folder it makes (think it tries to mark it hidden unless you have it set to show hidden files) is just stuff for iTunes to keep track (like HASH data and other stuff) to know what it has synced so it can tell what is new and what is old if you add more photos or folders later.
I have some huge images on my PC that I sync over without issue. iTunes scales them down when syncing to the phone (the whole optimize stuff).

Photos in ID question.

I am a photographer and have never used ID.
A client of mine uses my photos in ID and we have the workflow listed below...
1. I shoot for my clients client.
2. I send low res proofs to both.
3. They arrange page layout.
4. They send list of photos they chose back to me.
5. I retouch/edit chosen photos in PS.
6. I send edited hi res photos back to client with the same file name as the low res proofs.
7. Job done.
I would have thought that once the original low res proof photos were replaced with the high res finished photos (in whatever directory the low res were originally in) ID might have applied the same resizing/cropping/stretching adjustments that were applied to the original low res photo to the hi res photo that replaced it. Is there a way to make this happen?
I am told that each photo has to be resized to the exact dimensions of its window and obviously that is a huge job and means this workflow is really crappy.
Sorry if parts of this are had to understand... can anyone help?
Thanks.

Thank-you both for the response.
I have checked and for some reason the PS (CS5) proof sizing automation I was using was changing the print dimensions too... this must have been the problem.
I have now re-created the PS proof sizing automation so it just changes res from 300 to 72dpi and save as jpeg quality 8 and for some reason the print dimensions are slightly different.
Original= 24.11cm x 36.31cm
Proof= 24.09cm x 36.03cm (after only changing res from 300 to 72dpi and jpeg qual to 8.)
I know why it does this is probably a PS question but given the above answers do you think this small difference will lead to the original problem in ID (CS4)?
Also, (asking a lot I know) any comments of the workflow from a ID perspective?
