Resize photo for facebook cover page

Hi - I've followed step-by-step instructions in Lightroom to resize a photo for a facebook cover page. It's not working.  In simple terms, I want to shrink the photo so that it fits the facebook cover page size.  Can anyone help?  Thanks

Select your image thumbnail in the library and from the top menu choose:
Photo >> Create Virtual Copy
With the virtual copy selected (highlighted) click Develop
Click on the crop overlay or press R on the keyboard
Click on the dropdown menu to the left of the padlock and choose Enter Custom
In the dialog box enter 8.51 x 3.15 for the aspect ratio and click OK
Drag with the hand tool in the center of your image and move it into the best position for your Facbook Cover; then click Done
Go back to the Library and click the export button, bottom left.
Click the choose button to select a folder on your hard drive where you want the jpeg saved
Scroll down to File settings and choose:
JPEG
sRGB
Quality Slider 49 (this will keep compression  low for fast loading on your facebook page)
Scroll down to  Image Sizing and check Resize to Fit
Choose: Width & Height and enter
W 851 H 315 and choose pixels from the dropdown menu
Enter 72 for resolution and choose pixels per inch from the dropdown
Scroll down to Output Sharpening and check the box Sharpen For
Chose Screen from the dropdown and Standard
Scroll down to Post Processing and choose Do nothing – next to After Export
Click the Export Button
When the export has finished (see progress bar top left) go to your folder to find your cover pic.

  • Need to size up several photos for Facebook cover photo space

    I need to add an image(s) to my Facebook business page cover photo. The Facebook business page cover photo space is 850 pixels wide x 315 pixels high. I have 3 images/photos I want to put in this space.
    Do I use Resize for each photo to be 1/3 of the cover photo space?

    I suggest the following:
    Work on duplicate copies of the photos
    Using the crop tool, crop each photo to w=283px, h=315px, resolution=72px/in (enter these values in the tool's option bar)
    Open a new file (File>new>blank file), w=850px, h=315px, resolution=72px/in
    Drag each photo from the project bin to the work area. Each photo will be on its own layer.
    Use the move tool to position each photo as you go along
    If my calculation is correct, you should have sufficient "real estate" to cover the space.

  • Trying to upload photo to Facebook cover.  Message says I need premier.  I have Premier Elements 13.

    Trying to upload photo to Facebook cover.  Gets message saying I need Premier Elements.  I HAVE Adobe Photoshop Premier Elements 13.  What is the problem?

    hobbierforme
    I do not remember seeing a designation format such as Adobe PEPE13 on any installation discs that I have ever purchased.
    On the Premiere Elements 12 Windows label, it read
    adobe photoshop elements 12
    & adobe premiere elements 12
    WINDOWS
    Let us try this...
    a. On the computer desktop, how many Elements 13 icons do you have, one or two? And what are they?
    b. If you go to Control Panel/Installed Programs, do you see a listing for Adobe Premiere Elements 13 and Adobe Premiere Elements 13?
    Based on your prior replies, it appears that you have only Adobe Premiere Elements 13 installed. The installation disc that you used to install Adobe Premiere Elements 13 should also contain the installation files for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13. But, you do not see that opportunity when you insert the disc in the burn. Is that correct statement of the situation at this point?
    Is there any chance that you could scan the label surface of that disc and post the scan as a jpg in your thread. Be sure that there is no serial number or other information like that included.
    Thanks.

  • Toolbar button/hotkey for "show cover page in two page view" in Acrobat X?

    In Acrobat X, how about make a toolbar button/hotkey for "show cover page in two page view"?  I find toggling this option to be useful for changing up the order of adjacent pages in magazines/books in which a two page spread has to match for a full large picture.  Due to frequent toggling, I would like a button/hotkey for this for easier access.

    Hotkeys for existing menu items are not modifiable, but you can add a scripted button which toggles it with the following code:
    if (layout.substr(-5)=="Right") layout = layout.replace("Right","Left");
    else layout = layout.replace("Left","Right");
    For info on how to add a button with a folder-level script, see the Acrobat SDK documentation. Scripted buttons will appear in a new panel on the tools pane in Acrobat X, not on the tool bar.

  • 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!

  • How to resize photos for web pages

    Can photos be resized within iPhoto to be used on a web site?  If not what is the best program to do this to keep good quality photos but have a fast reloading time.

    I need to edit photos for print and then create a second version for the web.
    You can resize photos as you export from iPhoto - use a custom size and set what you need and upload the exported photos
    This is how you do that - you can not "resize" within iPhoto - you resize (and make another copy) when you export.
    As to your saving photos form PS into the iPhoto library and wondering why it does not work - it is becaus you must NEVER make any changes of any sor tto the structure or content of the iPhoto library using any program other than iPhoto - saving a photo into the iPhoto libray is not supported and will not work - you set PS as the external editor and when you finish editing you save and iPhoto handles the new image

    iOS 7: How to reduce screen motion
    You can reduce screen motion in iOS 7. iOS 7 uses a parallax effect to create the perception of depth on your Home screen and elsewhere.
    To reduce the effect, you can turn on Reduce Motion in Settings > General > Accessibility. When you turn on Reduce Motion, Home screen transitions will fade instead of zoom.
    When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:
    Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
    When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.
    If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.
    To learn more about iOS 7, refer to the user manual.

  • Resize photos for slideshow

    Hi All,
    I use PSE3 for Mac and have been putting together a lot of slide shows and then burning them to DVD in iDVD. My problem is that all the portrait photos leave a black margin on either side of the photo when viewing the DVD on the television. I read that to eliminate that you are to use an imaging software and resize to 640 x 480. However, that isn't possible--when I do that the picture is all squished. Is there any way to work around getting that black margin on portrait photos for slide shows? The problem is eliminated when using landscape photos. That also brings up the problem with wide-screen viewing now that it looks like the industry is leading us by the nose into that format whether we like it or not! Does anyone have a solution or a way to work around this?
    Thanks!
    Debbie

    You could try making a blank canvas of the correct dimensions, then copy your photo onto it. Now you can crop, resize, reposition, add text, graphics, or color blocks to fill the blank space etc.
    This method would give you more control over what is seen in the final slide show.

  • PSE 8 on MAC 10.6.2 Resizing photos for web use

    Please can anyone assist me. I cannot alter the sampling options when resizing my photos to create smaller files for uploading to web pages.
    so at present Constrain proportions is ticked and I am unable to change it.
    W,H and R are locked
    Am unable to choose from list  beginning:
    Bicubic (best for smooth gradients)   How do I unlock all these to enable me to change specific items.
    thanks for any advice.

    That is very strange as I had tried turning that on before and nothing had happened.
    Now it has. Maybe when I closed my machine down it somehow triggered it back if there was a glitch.
    thank you Barbara, you have made me happy again.
    I am not sure I need to strip the exif if I am putting them up in my Picasa album but I will try one to see what , if any effect it has on the picture in the gallery.
    You have helped me in the past under a different name BUt I couldn't seem to find my login details so I started again. :-)

  • Resizing photos for a website?

    I a building a website and when I resize -- even to make a photo or logo smaller -- everything gets wavy and low-quality.  Help!

    I like to keep the footprint of my web images as small as possible.  Especially for mobile users who must pay for bandwidth.  Nothing chops a mobile data plan to hell faster than a web site that uses excessively large images.  I only use 100% quality for printed output.  On the web I compromise at 20-50% quality to keep the file size down & improve page load speed.
    Go to File > Save for web.  Use the 4-up panel and compare image quality with file size.  See screenshot.
    For Photos, use JPEG.
    For Gradients or graphics requiring alpha-transparency, use PNG-24.
    I rarely use GIFs anymore.

  • Help in resizing photo for masthead

    I am trying to resize a photo from 3264 x 2448 to 600 x 149 and I just can't seem to do it.
    I'd appreciate a how to...need it for masthead.
    Thanks,
    Toni

    You can do it with the crop tool which is more visual.
    After choosing the crop tool, select unrestricted or custom and type your  dimensions 600 x 149 into the width and height boxes. Type 72 into the resolution box.
    Drag your crop tool over the entire image then click in the middle to reposition it to get the best composition bearing in mind the original aspect ratio will be different.
    Click the green checkmark when you are happy and re-save.

  • How to resize photos for email

    I have a MacBookAir 10.9 OS 0 in IPhoto...how can I resize any photo to send by email?
    Thanks
    dognose2

    With a web site, do not post high resolution images as the primary view of your products, that makes your site slower to load on lesser broadband connections, and more expensive to view on wireless connections.
    For a web site, use lower-resolution and smaller images for the primary view, and use a web content management system that allows for (for instance) clicking on a photo to view a higher-resolution image, and/or a content management system that allows the user to access a higher-resolution gallery of images.
    Default display of and mailing of larger and higher-resolution images chews up potentially very expensive data for folks on wireless connections, and usually won't be popular with mass-mailings.   Lower-resolution and smaller and even thumbnails with web links to higher-resolution images — which can incidentally also include tracker URLs, even in HTML-based mail — will consume less of the mobile recipient's cash, and will load and view much faster, or will load.  (On iOS, large messages will give the user the option to download the rest of a larger message, which means that most of your mail often won't even get viewed.) 
    Slow loads and large images can result in web connections get abandoned and mailing list clients drop off lists, too.  Thumbnails and text and simple HTML are better.
    As for "a good size", run some of your own tests on lower-performing network links, and see how well your content management system and your mail works in these situations — you're probably not aiming for customers on dial-up though I still deal with folks that only have that available — but you're definitely not going to want to assume ginormous network bandwidth with your marketing.  One megabit per second (1 Mbps) "broadband" links — and slower — are still very common, after all.  Also test your HTML with a few different clients, as there are various differences in how (or how well) HTML is rendered in various mail programs — some HTML mail looks like junk in some common clients.
    All of this stuff is fairly typical fodder for web and email marketing discussions, and not at all specific to OS X.

  • How do I submit my photo for my podcast page?

    I already submitted my podcast and it was accepted by iTunes.
    At the time, I didn't have a photo to put up so I skipped that part (thinking I could do it later). Now I can't figure out how to get an image up, and it's all ready (600x600 px).
    I also didn't know about the RSS tags, and we're working on that today (summary, etc). I'd like to get it all done asap.
    Can someone please help? Thanks!!

    Firstly you need to upload the photo to your server. Then you need to add this tag in the top section of the feed, between the 'channel' tag and the first 'item' tag:
    <itunes:image href="URL OF AN IMAGE FOR THE PODCAST" />
    The URL must be a full one, including the http:// and the server name.
    Upload the feed and wait patiently - it will take some days to appear in the Store page.
    This image will not appear when people subscribe - that's a different matter and is explained here:
