Resizing an image in Aperture

I guess there is no way to do this. In PS you can specifiy a very specific image size and resolution. Is there any way to do this in Aperture?
When you export a version you get a couple of choices for image size but I cannot find anywhere that you can change pixel dimensions of the entire image.

You can specify the size (in pixels) that you want to constrain it within, by creating a new export 'profile' within the Export dialog. I think it always attempts to maintain the aspect ratio, though.
You can also select the dpi that the file should be tagged with, though other forum posters have indicated that there appears to be a bug if you change it from the default 72.

Resizing images in aperture

Hi
I have a question, do you know if you can resize/interpolate images within Aperture for the purpose of stock submission. I usually carry this out in CS3 however I am trying to stream line work flow and wondered if this can be achieved in Aperture 2.
I only converted to Mac before christmas so I am still in the learning stages.
Many thanks
NW

Many thanks for the answer I will have a go at that later.
What is the image quality like, normally I do the upscaling in CS3 is the conversion in Aperture as good, or is there degradation of image quality. Just thought I would tad this question on the end as I will be submitting to the same location as you are.
What are the files you are uploading NEF or CR2,

Resizing an image for a Wordpress Theme

I am creating a website/blog on Pro PhotoBlog and the Masthead of the theme I am using requires my image to be 990 pixels wide. I have entered the dimensions of what I wanted (990x600 pixels) on the Aperture export screen. When I import the image into Pro Photoblog, its saying its 826x600 which is an incorrect size! What's causing my export to change dimensions? The original size of my images are way big so resizing them down to 990x600 should not be an issue unless I am missing something.
The instructions Pro Photo gives is to use Photoshop to resize the images before uploading them but why do that when I can do it in Aperture.

Expanding a little on Munas' spot-on answers. Note that the wording of the control in the Image Export Preset dialog is "Size to➞Fit within (pixels)". This means that Aperture will not change the aspect ratio of your Image, it will shrink it so that it _fits within_ the dimensions you specify. When you specify 990 x 600, you are telling Aperture to shrink the Image _proportionately_ (that is, with the same aspect ratio) until it fits within a rectangle that size. Your Image is, apparently, not rectangular enough to _exactly_ be 990 x 600 when the width is 990 _or less_ AND the height is 600 _or less_.
As Munas says, you must _start with_ an Image that has an aspect ratio equal to 990/600 in order to end up with an Image that is 990 x 600 when it is resized to fit within 990 x 600. To get an image that has that aspect ratio, you need to crop an area with that aspect ratio. I suggest creating a new Version from an Image you want to use, and then cropping with the crop tool set to "Aspect Ratio➞Custom" and "Width➞990" and "Height➞600".

Can not view images in Aperture

Mavens!
I was editing images in Aperture 3.5.1 ( latest Mavericks / iMAC) and went to add sharpening using CTRL + S when all the images dissappeared in the viewer.
I can still see the thumbnails - I can export original images etc - I just can't see anything in the viewer - it's grey and blank.
There are NO filters / searches in place (the usual gotcha for hiding images).
Initially I had the feeling I must have mis-queued the keystroke for sharpening and somehow hidden the images in the library. But now I find that all of my libraries have this problem. Aperture will only display thumbnails and nothing in the viewer.
Coudl this be a "delete plist" scenario? Any clues for further invesigation greatly appreacited as I'm stumped.

Hello Kirby
Thank you for yur reply and sorry I have taken so oong to get back to you. We just had a catergory 2 tropical cyclone cross the coast a few km away - been a little pre-occupied.
That said - the problem has gone away.
During the session where it arose I restarted the system twice and the systems persisted - so I am a little mystified.
And again thank you for reminding of the "try new user account" wrinkle - obviously the first step for serious troubleshooting.
Kind regards
Russell

Using Javascript & Actions to resize an image and add the filename as text

Hello,
I am currently working on a way to take an image, resize it and add exactly what is in it's file name (before extension) as a text layer. I have succeded in this BUT am having issues with file names that require more than one line of text.
I need the text to align to the bottom of the image & the script or action must then resize the image so that the text does not overlap.
Any ideas on how this can be done?
At the moment I am using:
-"Fit Image.jsx" to resize my image to a specific size (This was included in the Photoshop CS5 scripts)
- A script to add the file name without extension and place the file name at a specific position.
AdFileName.jsx
if ( documents.length > 0 )
var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
try
var docRef = activeDocument;
// Now create a text layer at the front
var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
// strip the extension off
var fileNameNoExtension = docRef.name;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "." );
if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
   fileNameNoExtension.length--;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join(".");
myTextRef.contents = fileNameNoExtension;
// off set the text to be in the middle
myTextRef.position = new Array( docRef.width / 2, docRef.height / 2 );
myTextRef.size = 12;
        myTextRef.font="Arial-BoldMT"
        //set position of text
        myTextRef.justification = Justification.CENTER;
        myTextRef.kind = TextType.PARAGRAPHTEXT;
        myTextRef.width= docRef.width;
        myTextRef.height= docRef.height/ 2;
        myTextRef.position= [0, docRef.height * 0.88];
catch( e )
// An error occurred. Restore ruler units, then propagate the error back
// to the user
preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
throw e;
// Everything went Ok. Restore ruler units
preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;
else
alert( "You must have a document open to add the filename!" );
Can the position be changed to allow more rows of text but keep it aligned with the bottom of the layer?
How can I script in a way to make the image resize based on the amount of text lines?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can add a text layer any where the only thing you need to worry about is the size of the font you use. You can normally calculate a font size by saving the images resoltuion and then setting its resolution to 72 DPI calculate a font size basied of the images pixel width and the number of characters you want in a line. After adding the text layer you can restore the image to its original resolution and align the text layer by making a selection and alignint the text layer to the selection. There are nine posibilites like the positions in the selection you can align to like a tick tack toe board. You need to use a script to add the text layer because your retrieving the filename. The positioning of the text layer could be done easily in an action the would use the scriot to add a text layer the do a select all the align the added text layer to the selection.
About your script don't make text paragraph just add new line characters to make a multi line text layer So it can be positioned easily
I do just that with my stampexif action. The action uses my stampexif Photoshop java script to add a multi line text layer containing some formatted EXIF data then the action centers the text layer and add a layer style to it. Link http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/StampExif.jsx Example

Photoshop CC: Have a template that I moved image into. Image is too small. How do I resize the image while in the template? Or must I go to original image file and resize there again and again until I get the right fit?

I have a template that I am able to plug different pictures into at different times. The problem is that when I plug an image into that template, I find that the image is either too big or too small. Is there a way to plug the image into the template and resize the image (and not the template itself) OR will I have to go to the file with the original image and resize it there and then try to plug it in to the template to see if it fits------and if it does not fit, go back to the original file with the image and resize it again and see if that fits---and so on and so on...........? I have tried the" image size" option but it's hit or miss------mostly miss!
Thanks!

Read up on Smart Objects. It looks like you have no idea as to how to create and use them.
Jut create a Smart Object from the layer containing whatever it image it is that you are "plugging into your template". But you do need to learn the application at its most basic levels.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. You cannot learn Photoshop in a forum, one question at a time.
Or is it possible that you don't even have Photoshop proper but the stripped-down Photoshop Elements?"
If the latter is the case, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you would want if you're working in Elements.:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
If you do have Photoshop proper, please provide the exact version number of that application and of your OS.

How do I set the desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3?

Sorry for the silly question, but I can't find how to set my desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3. It was simple when using Iphoto, but I can't find the method in aperture.
Thanks,
Dale.

Command(⌘)-9 is no longer listed in the list of default keyword shortcuts, and it has no effect.
I wrote a little Automator service to bring the Command(⌘)-9 back.
A copy of this service is here for download:
http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/SetDesktopPicture.workflow.zip
This service uses three actions:
Aperture: Get selected images
Export Masters
Finder: Set the Desktop Picture
To install it, open the workflow in Automator and save it as service.
To use it, select any image in Aperture, then activate the service from the Aperture menu -> Services, and it will set the master of the selected image as Desktop picture.
If you like, you can assign the Command(⌘)-9 key to the service (in the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts Panel) and then turn any image you selected into Desktop wallpaper by simply pressing (⌘)-9.
@Frank Caggiano, if you are still following this thread: for some reason this workflow succeeds with exporting the master, but I could not get it to work with the versions instead. Any ideas?
Caution: this service will clutter the Desktop with the exported images. If you want to avoid that, change the export action to export the image to a different folder.

I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
thanks!

I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down?

Is it possible to add a text box to an image in Aperture?

is it possible to add a text box/caption to an image in Aperture? (I do NOT have photoshop)

Do you want to write it directly onto the image? Then install and use the free BorderFX plug-in for Aperture. It will let you write text annotations directly onto the image or onto a border.

Data and Images in Aperture are a mess

I just bought and started using Aperture, as I was hoping to get a better way to organize my images vs. iPhoto. However, I'm not sure what is happening in Aperture, but everything is out of whack. For example:
1) Aperture is not sorting the images correctly by date (see iPhoto vs. Aperture) (not sure what its doing actually)
Order in iPhoto (correct): https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/8c59344a-ad63-46f5-8a88-010016374bfa/75c42 3a7f3ee54dfec6e89f7c72c0f23
Order in Aperture (not correct): https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/81c58b92-1307-4932-b224-b652966ea60a/74d37 ba969f0897719c48a7826f0e30a
2) Aperture is showing the wrong images for various photos. Note: Clearly these photos are broken, stretched, just plain wrong
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/81c58b92-1307-4932-b224-b652966ea60a/74d37 ba969f0897719c48a7826f0e30a
3) Aperture is showing a different photo when the thumbnail is clicked
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/8205f754-1c20-48b7-a2ac-e1967563b0d3/374e4 0a22028e21b78adae7f9e794d68
Note: This is the first photo shown in iPhoto, and is the correct photo in iPhoto, but its not in Aperture per the Thumbnail.
4) Aperture is showing the wrong date information
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s15/sh/c1ca65a4-7276-4734-b3a2-51fd803df86b/a2bd7 61f93844b38fcae0a4243eb4e39
Basically, nothing in Aperture is showing correctly. How can that be possible? Any suggestions?

What is your Aperture version? If you just bought it, it will probably be Aperture 3.5.1, but then your profile signature " Mac OS X (10.5.6)" could not be right?
Looking at the examples you posted, it looks to me, like Aperture's sorting by date is correct - at least the images are ordered by the numbers in the file names, and that strongly suggests, that the capture time in the exif tags is in that order. I don't know any camera that would name the image files with sequence numbers other than ordered by capture time. Then iPhotos order would be out of sequence with respect to the capture time. Or have you adjusted the "Dare & Time" in iphoto to deviate from the capture times? How did you transfer the photos from iPhoto to Aperture?
Regards
Léonie
If the thumbnails do not correspond to the actual image files, then rebuild the thumbnails of your photos in that project. Select all images in Aperture in the Browser, go to the "Photos" menu in the main menu bar, and use the command "generate Thumbnails".
After that, you should be better able to judge the ordering of the photos from the thumbnails in the browser.
If receating the thumbnails does not suffice, repair your Aperture libry, and if necessary, rebuild it.
Hold down the ⌥⌘-keys while launching Aperture, and keep holding them firmly, until you see the Aperture Library First Aid panel. Select "repair database"

How do I resize an image in Photoshop CS2?

Hi! I'm trying to resize an image in Photoshop Cs2 with OUT making it grainy or blurred. Please help!? I know there's some key you can hold down while dragging with the mouse but eh I forgot it! o_0 please help!

Jody...
If you have a vector version of the logo, the smartest thing is to resize it as vectors to the size you want, and
then
rasterize it.
Case in point:
I was trying to make a 16px × 16px favicon for my blogspot site, and the only way I could get the details to appear nice and clean was to create the entire thing from shape layers, transform them all in one go to fit inside a 16px × 16px box I defined using guidelines, and THEN rasterize it using the Save For Web dialogue.

How do I resize an image in Lightroom?

Hi everyone, was wondering if someone can help me as am trying to resize and image in lightroom and cannot find where to do it.. please help. thanks alexandra

The Alamy upsizing is nonsense but you can actually use Lightroom export. You only have to use differnet numbers (presets) for different aspect ratios. These are the rough numbers for the aspect ratios I use:
Assuming they want 16x2^20 (16.777.216) pixels rather than 16x10^6 (16.000.000) pixels, the image dimension to upsize with LR are the following:
Aspect ratio 2:3 (portrait or landscape)
~ 5017 x 5017 pixels
Aspect ratio 1:1 (square)
~ 4096 x 4096 pixels
Aspect ratio 16:9 (portrait or landscape)
~ 5462 x 5462 pixels
Aspect ratio 4:3 (portrait or landscape)
~ 4730 x 4730 pixels
You can store those in presets, use sort to sort the images by aspect ratio and export one set after the other with different presets.

Automated Resizing of Images in Photoshop Elements 9

I recently upgraded my wife's Photoshop Elements from version 6 to version 9. However, there is one feature from version 6 that seems to not work in version 9. When she drags an image into a blank template (of any size), the image drags in to the template in the full size. So if the images are three times larger than the template, she has to resize every image after she drags them in which is a pain for her. Previously in PSE6, when she dragged the image into the blank template, the program would automatically resize the image to fit within the window. Then she could resize the iamge if she needed to. It seems that there should be a setting for this, but I am coming up with nothing. Anybody know of a solution to this?

You didn't say if your on mac or windows, so you may not be familar
with the elements organizer. The following workaround works on windows pse9,
if your on a mac it may also.
1. In the elements organizer, select (highlight) the photos you want to use.
    (don't open the photos into the elements editor, just select them)
2. Back in the elements editor, with the project bin open, choose
   Show Files Selected in the Organizer.
3. When you drag the photos from the project bin into your document, they should resize
   similar to pse6.
   If they are still to big, step back one step in the undo history panel from Transform the Frame to Place.
