Resizing digital photos to use in videos

I have a g4 power Mac OSX 10.4.11 and use final cut pro 3 with an epson printer and 2 gb ddr sd ram. I have adobe photoshop elements 6. My problem is that I have never used photoshop and need to change over 200 digital photos to 720 X 480 pixels for use in a video show I am editing. If they aren't resized they look awful in the final product. I just need to know how to resize them as I have found no information on this subject. Hopefully someone can help me,
Thanks

Is there a way to make digital photos look less like video in FCP?

I know this is probably a question better suited to the Adobe Photoshop forums, but does anyone know a way to make digital photos look more like film than video in FCP? I know about watching for hotspots and such, but is there anything else I can do?
Thanks in advance,
Lloyd Lathrop

All links in the chain peddle the bicycle: in this case, I would guess your photography may suffer a bit if your colors are blown out. In assuming you have a chance to rephotograph, establish in your menu that your color temperature matches your lighting. Try K6300 for strobe, K6100 for strobe umbrella, K3100 up or down a few for tungsten: make sure your lights are at 45 degree from your photos, reflection of the camera. Your best bet is to WBalance them, and at all the same exposure, as Automatic tends to give you the neutral color and neutral value. Don't trust automatic unless you're in a pinch. You can also set in your menu a "less vivid" level, but I wouldn't trust this either.
Good luck.

Resizing multiple photos in Photoshop

I am trying to resize multiple photos by using the batch option. I have created an action and then go into batch and select that action. It's not working. Anybody have any ideas on how I can resize my photos all at once??

It sounds as if the Action is not correctly recorded. Have you tested it on a single image?
Is there a Stop" in it?
You can always use the one-step convenience of the Image Processor!

WinXP: Resize pic for digital photo frame with PS Elements

PS Elements 5
Preloading a small memory card for a photo frame to be given for holiday gift. Not familiar with these frames.
This Digital Photo Frame is a 16x9 aspect, 800x480 pixels.
In PS Elements, I crop each pic to 16" x 9"
Then resize photo to 800 pixel width, constraining proportions it sets the height at 450 pixels, resolution 72 pixels/in. Seems I am wasting the frame real estate.
Change the crop tool for 15" x 9"
Then resize photo to 800 pixel width, constraining proportions it sets the height at 480 pixels, resolution 72 pixels/in.
Each photo comes to ~ 400k.
Questions:
Which above crop/resize/resolution is best? or alternate?
Will the frame make use of the 400k pics, or should I reduce quality to something less?

When accessing Sams Club web site using Firefox and go to Photos, then Pricing, it brings up Digital Photo Center, but when I click items nothing comes up. I turned on my IE and the information was there. What's wrong with Firefox.

When you go to the link above go to Pricing Under Information - last item). That takes you to Sam's Digital Photo Center page. On the left side click on any of the items listed and I get nothing. This information shows on IE

How can I mkae a simple photo edit on premiere elements 12 without using the video feature?

I was told when I spent $1000+ on my HP and all the software that I would have what I needed to edit photos and/or edit videos. I am a yoga teacher so I am posting my classes online as videos, as podcasts, and I also need to edit some of my personal photos to use for marketing material. I can see where I edit photos for a video and incorporate them in that said video but Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.

yogawithlexi,
Welcome to the forum.
Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.
For editing photos, to be output to the printed page (whether by a commercial printing service, or a desktop printer), I strongly recommend Photoshop Elements (PsE).
If you need to output to a video file, then Premiere Elements (PrE) can possibly do what you want, but not for the printed page - at least not easily, and with the ultimate results. First, Video is not dependent on DPI/LPI (Dots Per Inch, or Lines Per Inch), where printed material will be. Also, while PrE can output a Still Image, the quality, when printed, will be far less, than what one can obtain with PsE.
Do you currently have Photoshop Elements on your computer, or only Premiere Elements?
Good luck,
Hunt

No. Tracks you purchase from the iTunes Store are for your personal use only and cannot be posted, either separately or as part of a video or slide show, on any public web site or otherwise distributed to others in any way. You can't even legally give that video to your brother.

Do I need to convert RAW fles using Canon's Digital Photo Professional?

I want to create a "fake" HDR photo from a single RAW file using Photomatix Pro, which can open RAW files from my Canon S95 directly. But the finished HDR is almost unusable because of too much noise. So the only way out seems to first convert RAW images into Tiff format. Unfortunately, Canon's Digital Photo Professional for Mac produced errors whenever I want to batch process raw images.
Actually the Aperture 3 can read Canon's RAW images (.cr2) directly, and I can export 3 TIFF versions of different EVs to "cheat" the Photomatix into creating an HDR image. But I have doubts about how capable Aperture 3 is in converting Canon's proprietary RAW files as compare to Canon's own Digital Photo Professional. Could I simply use Aperture 3 exclusively for RAW conversion and forget about Digital Photo Professional?

While Wikipedia is a valuable resource, remember that it is not peer reviewed so the level of accuracy isn't always that dependable.
One of the reasons why Apple, Adobe, and others are always behind by several weeks to a few months when a new RAW profile comes out is that they are decoding it. Thousands upon thousands of people use Canon & Nikon RAW files every day and the large majority never use DPP or Nikon's equivalent.
I used to use DPP before Aperture came out and even with Aperture's initial problems, it blew the doors off DPP in workflow speed and consistency.
In my opinion, DPP only has relevance under two circumstances: 1. If you use customized Picture Styles and want to make your RAW file equivalent [somewhat irrelevant as you can create custom profiles for a camera in both Aperture & Lightroom which solve this problem - you do have to create them though by trial and error]; 2. If a new camera comes out and you must get it before it is supported by Aperture or Lightroom [Though, Adobe's DNG converter often allows you to skip over using DPP by converting your RAW files to DNG for use in Aperture or Lightroom]
Finally, the community support as well as tech support for DPP is dreadful - pretty much doesn't exist compared to that of Aperture & Lightroom.
Hope this helps!
Best,
CD

Using "Preview" for digital photos

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, but here goes: When I use Preview for viewing digital photos, it works fine for images taken with my Sony Cyber-Shot point-and-shoot, but on photos from my son's Olympus DSLR, I get this Error message: "Preview is unable to properly display this image. The file may be corrupt. Reason: Can't cache image". When I click on OK, the photo does load just fine. The Olympus is setup to take "Fine JPEG" images, not RAW. The photos load fine when using Photoshop Elements, and if I open and save the images in Elements and override the original image, then Preview does not have any problems opening the same JPEG. Is this just the way Preview works, or is there something I can do to prevent the error messages. Are the images from my son's camera too large for Preview to open? For simple viewing of digital photos, I like Preview because it creates a preview mode with thumbnails along the side, much like it does for PDF files. By the way, I'm using Preview on both my iMac and my wife's iBook, both running OSX 10.3.9. Both have 1gig RAM. I get the error message in Preview on both computers. Thank you for any input.

Hey Dan,
You might try going to preferences and in Images
Default image scale
Pick: Scale large images to fit display and nothing else
Then in PDF set to scale: 50%
After you do this QUIT Preview so the changes will take effect.
I use Preview a lot, but there are times when another image viewer is needed
and I suggest you take a look at ACDsee. This is Ver. 1.6 which is the one I use with my Panther and it works great.

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto.

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie 11 version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto. I'm very familiar with how to do this in the pervious version, but it's no so intuitive in the new version.

Has anyone tried this one.. I am not sure if I am allowed to post information about other products... so if I am not please delete this part of my message.
New Trent Arcadia Pack IMP70D 7000mAh?

After using Canon Digital Photo Professional Adobe Camera Raw cannot identify my Monitor again.

Wenn eine RAW Bildbearbeitung mit Canon Digital Photo Professional stattgefunden hat, erkennt Camera Raw die Auflösung meines Bildschirms nicht mehr und produziert die Fehlermeldung, das die Auflösung des Bildschirmes zu niedrig wäre. Diese Fehlermeldung kommt dann auch bei bisher nicht aufgerufene und somit nicht bearbeitete .raw. Die gleichen Bilder als .jpeg werden in der richtigen Bildschirmauflösung angezeigt.
Installiere ich Photoshop Elements 13 neu ist alles OK, bis zu dem Zeitpunkt wo ich Canon Digital Photo Professional das erste Mal wieder benutze. Nach der 1. Nutzung erkennt Camera Raw die Auflösung nicht mehr.
Der Fehler ist seit dem letzten Update von Ramera Raw vorhanden und auch mit dem letzten Bugfix von Camera Raw nicht verschwunden.
Hat jemand eine Lösung?

Is there a work-around to enable Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro ????

Is there a way to use Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro?
As I understand the problem DPP is unable detect the screen resolution of the tablet ( the defauilt res of the tablet
is 1920 x1080) with a minimum of 1024 x768.
It would be usful if one could type in your working screen res into at startup if that's the only problem
___I've looked at other screen drivers from Intell but I realize if I could install thrm I'de lose the touch functionallity
Are there any other ideas out there???
Thanks artB

Canon DPP is Canon provided application for desktop/laptop computers and they don't have a version for any tablets as far as I'm aware (not even iOS or Android versions).
But there are other photo editing programs that would work. I have an iPad. While Apple has their own photo software (which isn't going to work on a Windows tablet) Adobe has an app called PS Touch.
PS Touch isn't nearly as full featured as Photoshop. It limits the image resolution (it resizes any images that you import to it so they don't exceed the max resolution) but it does have most of the commonly used adjustments. So if a person were just trying to get something out, it works in a pinch.
One other catch is that PS Touch can't deal with RAW images... so it's JPEG only. But I can import JPEGs off the card into the iPad and then edit them -- not as well as I can if they're on a regular computer, but this is what I'ved when I'm away for a weekend with my camera.

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Ai

Is there a phone number to call Adobe. I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs? Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air. It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low. I stopped and tried to delete LR files. I couldn't do it. I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR. I contacted Apple. They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them. I have several back-ups. Thanks - Arthur

This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.
