Resize Photo Box

Someone please... try resizing a photo box, Aperture 2, trial, when laying out a book. I can not get the buggers to resize. Can set aspect ration via popup menus, but can not grab the little handles and resize the entire box. Tried Aperture 1.5 and it works as it should. Is it me?

It works fine with most of the themes.
But I want to adjust the theme Medium Formal. It is great looking but I can not cheange the master pages. Even when I create a custom the I can not get the 3D drop down effect used in Thjeme Formal. I need it in A5-format and I want to change sizes of the frames in Formal.
The other Themes I can handle and change.
I love the book-thing in Aperture 2 but I have not yet receieved my printed books I ordered 2 weeks ago:(
...so the result has not been seen...some people at this forum complain about print quality!
Pls HELP!

  • Resizing photo box in Aperture 3 - not working!

    I recently purchased Aperture 3 from the App Store.  I'm working on a book.  While in the Edit Layout mode, I can see the handles on photo boxes but I can NOT resize the photo box.  The manual and the Aperture video say this should work.  What gives?

    See the post at http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/03/15/aperture-3-book-theme-trick/ for tantalizing hint on how to make this work -- which I'm attempting right now.  (If the link gets removed, do an internet search for "aperture 3 book theme trick" (without the quotes) and you'll get it.  The "original article" referenced is essential reading -- at least the part on how to make a copy of a theme so one can play with it.  Note that Aperture has to be restarted if you create the theme copy while Aperture is running.  I've made the suggested change, but it's not taking effect. I'll experiment more and report back, but I thought others might like to know there is a possible solution.

  • Can't change/resize any boxes in Pages '09

    I am a new user to Pages and I used a template with about 8 pages. I've modified that template quite a bit, but suddenly when I try to change any text or image box size, it won't allow me to do so. I can change text, insert new photos, etc, but I can't resize any boxes. I was dragging the arrows previously to resize the boxes. Now the arrows show up but when I drag them the box doesn't respond at all. It seems like I've locked down the document somehow but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

    Hi ENoel
    Welcome to the forum.
    If they are locked they have little grey crosses on the corner.
    +Menu > Arrange > Unlock+
    If you have moved them to Master/Background Objects they have blue boxes on the corners.
    +Menu > Arrange > Make Master/Background Objects Selectable+
    If you have grouped them
    +Menu > Arrange > Ungroup+
    You may have done a combination of the above.
    Also you may have covered them with another object.

    btw A better description helps, such as which template etc.

  • Resizing photos in Preview

    Hey...
    When I attempt to resize photos in Preview... sometimes it works, but more often it doesn't. I can try to save the image after the resize, or I've tried closing the image and forcing the Preview Save dlg box... either way... sometimes it works, i.e., actually resizes the image, but, more often, it doesn't.
    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
    Thanks,
    Lang

    Things seem to have gone terribly wrong with the Preview features regarding size and the window, zooming, zoom to fit, and so on. Be sure to let Apple know:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    The results I'm getting are all over the map, in terms of behavior, which is not consistent, let alone on a par with the Leopard version of Preview.

  • Photo boxes and guides

    I am creating my own layouts. (I'm inserting all the photo and text boxes.) I know how to set the photo box aspect and ratio as well as alignment. I know how to use the shift key to resize and maintain the ratios. I also have been using the guides to align photo and text boxes to each other and to the edges of the page. The guides are extremely helpful.
    What I don't know how to do is resize a photo box and use the guides at the same time. I can move a photo box and it'll "click" to guides, but when I am resizing the box I can easily go beyond where the guides would be. In other words, I can align two sides of the photo box, but then not the third. I hope this makes sense.

    I just created background images in photoshop to use as my grid/guide. A lot easier of a reference tool, just don't forget to delete them before sending it to print!

  • 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.

    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'm having problems (1)selecting onscreen text, (2) having problems resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

    I'm having problems (1) selecting onscreen text, (2) resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • 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!

  • Making a photo box

    I see where I can make a text box in keynote, but how can I make my own photo box to my own dimensions, placing it where I want it instead of using one of the preset photo boxes?
    Thanks!

    Right - you can not add text to photos with iPhoto - you must use an external editor

  • How do i resize photo attachment in icloud mail

    How do I resize photo attachment in icloud mail. The resize button does not appear as it did  before.

    Using iCloud mail online via a browser does not offer the option to resize the photo.  It's only available when emailing from iPhoto so iPhoto can do the resizing as it adds the image to the email.  Safari or whatever browser you're using doesn't have that capability.

  • Changing the size of the bevel photo box in Aperture 3

    Does anyone know how I can change the size of the bevel photo box that comes with the Formal-Soft cover-medium theme. Aperture 3 is not allowing me to change the size. I would like to make it larger. I can not add a bevel bevel photo box. I have done the change with Aperture 1 before.
    Thanks

  • Dynamic Text Boxes / Resizing text boxes

    I have a site with a dynamic text box that I have initialized
    (I'm not sure that that is the correct term) at the beginning with:
    myText = new LoadVars();
    myText.onLoad = function()
    { textBox_txt.htmlText = this.content;
    myText.load("text/bio.txt");
    stop();
    Then I have just used a text box throughout with the same
    instance name, although sometimes I have it on a new keyframe. I
    assumed I could just keep loading text into it on different frames
    with:
    stop();
    myText.load("text/performances.txt");
    This appears to be working, except that sometimes it seems to
    be confused and the text box on a certain frame has the wrong text
    in it. Do I have to initialize one for each frame in order for them
    to display the right code? What could be causing it to load another
    text file if it's frame action is telling it to load something
    else? It seems unnecessary to have to re-initialize it for a new
    text box instance in every new frame, but is that the way it has to
    be done?
    Also, I'm not clear on resizing text boxes. It seems like if
    I use the width and height numbers to resize this text box on
    different pages then it changes the size of the text inside, and
    the scroll bar (the UIScrollbar) is a little squishy looking
    sometimes. How does this work?
    Thanks for any help.

    You will find it much better to create a new LoadVars object
    for each of the frames, just call them myText1 myText2 etc.
    The name of the text box instance in this case is irrelevant
    but best practice would be to give them individual names.
    As for the stretching effect use setSize() for UI
    components.

  • How to save resized photo in the event

    I am having trouble saving my resized photo in my event. When I open an event, choose the photo I want to resize, and use the export feature, I am unable to choose my event as a place to save to. Any suggestions. What I end up doing is saving it somewhere else I don't want to based on my limited choices in the drop down and moving it to the event. This is a hassle.
    I also tried to resize the photo using the preview program and saving it to my event. THis way I at least got the option, but the saved file doesn't show up in the iphoto event, only in the finder when I view all of my photos.
    Any suggestions. In a perfect world I just want to upload photos from my camera, iphoto creates an event which is great. and now I just want to resize them and have the original and the resized photo in the same event visible in iphoto. Is this possible?

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    If you want to have two different resolutions of a photo in iPhoto (and I can think of no reason to have this) you have to export the photo in the second resolution and import that new photo into iPhoto
    You should never "save" anything into the iPhoto library - iPhoto is a database and you should never add or modify anything inside the iPhoto library

  • Who creates the Photo Box album in iPhoto iOS 7.1?

    I just noticed an album in iPhoto iOS 7.1 that is titled "Photo Box."  How is it created?

    It is one of the automatically created albums, see this help page: 
    What are albums? http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkb9b1e2a
    Photo Box: If a photo appears in an album (Edited, Favorites, Journals, or custom) and you delete the photo from your device, the photo remains in the album. If you remove the photo’s edits and tags, or delete the photo from the journal, iPhoto moves the photo to the Photo Box album (and removes it from the album it was in). If you edit or tag a photo in the Photo Box album, or add it to a journal, the photo is removed from the Photo Box album (and added to the appropriate album).
    Basically, iPhoto keeps photos in this album, if they are needed for products.
