Resizing Images for Web

Is there a way to specify the image size when publishing to mobileme gallery or when creating webpage in aperture?

I don't have aperture in front of me right at the moment to look at all the choices, but I always use the "constrain to be no larger than X by Y pixels" option when creating web pages. This makes sure all your photos fit within those constraints (as opposed to making them a specific size, which would distort them if they weren't all in that aspect ratio to begin with.)

What software do you reccomend for resizing images for web ?

I am looking for some software to help resize images on my mac to post online eg 470x 707 at 72 dpi (something similar to Faststone for PC would be good ) >Any recomendations?

72 dpi doesn't mean anything in terms of video and 470 x 707 is a rather peculiar size, what is the source of the video and what exactly are you trying to achieve.

Hi there,
I have made script (with your help ) to export images for web with dimensions 300x300 px. Now I want that my script do one more resize of that files so that i get two files one 300x300 and another 66x66 px. I will post my script and ask you to hel me find the bug

Do I need to resize images for Keynote?

Do I need to resize images for Keynote? I have images in a variety of sizes and wonder if there is a minumum or maximum size recommended.
Thank you!
B

All depends on what the end product is; a slide show on a laptop or projected 20 feet wide in a theatre. For best performance, images should be created to match the document size in; Inspector > Document > Slide size.
The slide size should as a minimum match the screen resolution of the Mac in;
system preferences > displays. The higher the number of pixels the better the quality.
However, many images are supplied that are much smaller than are required, resulting in them being enlaged beyond there best.

I am using CS6 and when I go to save an image for Web the image does not retain its quality

I am using CS6 and when I go to save an image for Web the image does not retain its quality. The first week I did this it worked just fine and now the images save very pixely.
Here is a screenshot of my image on the artboard as I am editing it
Here is a screenshot of the image as I'm trying to save it for Web
As you can see, the image becomes pixely. I have tried to save it as every type of png and jpeg but nothing seems to work. I have no idea why it has started to do this. Please help!

Change None to Art optimized then click apply(alteast in CS5 there was an apply, believe they removed that in CS6 as so many people missed that part).

My iPad will not resize images for the wallpaper

My iPad will not resize images for the wallpaper

if you go in through the photos app and send your image to be wallpaper you'll have a bit more luck.
Also, go into the settings, accessibility and try turning off parallax motion.

Save image for web/devices - random streaks

I have no idea why, but sometimes when i save images for web It leaves random streaks across certain areas. It has nothing to do with transparency/gradients because i've used normal fills and it still does it. It's probably something stupid but i can't seem to figure it out.

Document DPI vs. Save for web vs. preview. Make sure to always work in 72 DPI and you'll have a lot less problems to get predictable results. Also use the align to pixel grid options to avoid semi-transparent gaps and edges, where applicable...

Saving Images for Web

Hi,
Whenever I save images for the web they seem to loose the richness of their color. I've not noticed this until working on a particular project that involves resizing and preparing images of artwork for a website.
The images are in sRGB color profile and I am "saving for web and devices" with ICC checked and optimization at 70. Still, the images look a bit faded overall. Is there anything else that I can do to retain the color?
Thanks!

I am wondering why my advice was any worse than yours. I admit I mistakenly suggested Monitor RGB instead of Windows RGB but as far as I know sRGB is the default for most monitors. This would put them all pretty close. Am I missing something?
I would think that having someone set the images with icc profiles and then adjusting their own browser to correctly display such images would cause the exact same problem you say my solution does. It would give the image editor an impression of the image that nobody else is going to see. I don't know anyone that uses icc profiles for web work. In general I don't think you will find many people who have set their browsers to correctly view images that have these profiles. So it seems like someone that has will be thinking the images look great on their system but not on someone else's.
If someone may eventually repurpose these for print then worry about icc profiles for the printer. It seems like a huge waste of time for anything that is purely on screen.
I am not trying to battle with you over who is correct I just want to understand what your saying.

Resizing Images for Websites

I am creating a website for a Family Farm. I was wondering if there is any good way to resize images using iPhoto for quicker loading times in websites. Most of the images I want to use are from a digital camera and are huge files.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As Dalya mentioned using the File->Export->File Export menu option will let you set the pixel dimension and quality level (amount of jpeg compression) to achieve small files for web use.
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.

Resizing pixs for web page use

I have resized the photos to use on MS Frontpage but when the thumbnails are clicked on to be enlarged in the web page they are still too large. How do I make photos usable for web page use?

What version of Elements are you using? How are you now going about creating the thumbnails and larger images? What size are you making the large ones? I suspect all you need to do is change the width and height parameters to something smaller.

I am done editing in Develop; how do I save edited images for web?

I get the import and development options in Lightroom but I was told by a LR representative when I called for assistance that LR does not retain any data. So, if I import photos from my camera (NEF files) and edit in Develop; where do I save the edited photos and how can I adjust them for optimum quality on the web? It seems that there are instructions on how to import and save photos from your camera, etc. but once you modify the photo using Develop, is the original then modified as well?
Sorry for the question, but I have modified several photos using the Develop Option and hate to lose all my work. I am lost as what to do now in order to save my edits. Ugh!
Thank you to anyone who can help! I am a MC Windows user if that helps.

Editing in develop is totally non-destructive. All your develop settings are saved automatically in the LR database (catalog)
For web usage select thumbnail(s) of your images in the Library and click Export. Choose jpeg, size, quality and resolution of 72 and set color space to sRGB. Add sharpening if desired. Choose a folder, sub-folder or desktop and export. Your jpeg copies will be ready to upload from your chosen folder when the export completes.

Saving images for web - is there an aperture equivalent to adobe sfw?

I'm the web designer for a small school. Aperture has been a godsend for keeping track of my work, but I want to learn more about how to use it. I want to pick the brains of you web designers out there...
When I export an image to save to our webpage, I usually use Photoshop CS2's "Save for Web" dialogue. This works, but means I have to export out of aperture, open in photoshop, then save for web. I'm trying to streamline the process and was hoping there's a way to do this in aperture. Let me give you a scenario...
If I export an image in ps that is 400x400 at jpeg quality 7, it is ~30KB in size. If I use aperture's "Export Version" and check 400x400, no metadata, jpeg 7, I get a 100KB file. This is no good for my web pages. So... is there something in there that will get me the same small files, or am I stuck with adobe???

Interesting, yes - Aperture's export appears to create resource forks for the files. I'm guessing this is to hold the preview image.
I've just exported some images, and in the Terminal, with 'ls -l', they show up as 17k. In the Finder, they're 76k.
I created copies using 'ditto --norsrc', and the copies are now the smaller size in the Finder too.

Save images for Web?

hi
i would like to ask you,why when i save images for Internet
(for my web portfolio) from Photoshop thought Save for Web and
import them in Flash they appear with rough ends ,not straight and
clear as in the original version ,please? I m saving them in couple
of versions some with Hight quality or medium but its all the
same....
please help me
what could I do that it doest occur that thing,please
Thank you

Are you rotating them once you import them into flash? They
will render with jagged edges. If you need images at an angle, I
would rotate them first in Photoshop then import them into flash,
also make sure under publish settings, you set you image quality to
high, of course this will increase the overall file size of your
swfs but give you better image quality. Hope this helps...

Saving Illustrator Image for Web

I have a simple logo that I'm trying to save for use on the web. The original has a transparent background but the edges are white so I have included an image with a dark background for reference. The challenge here is that the lines don't look smooth. I have tried setting AA to none as well as Art and Type Optimized. I've also tried blowing the image way up in Illustrator and scaling it down in the "Save for Web" Dialog box to match the size I need for the web.
In Illustrator the white lines are smooth and clean. When I save for web (or export at 300DPI) they are either blurry or blocky depending on the AA settings and never smooth. I've seen other vector art done in Illustrator that is smooth and clean, I just can't obtain the same results.
Thanks in advance for any help.

a screen-capture will only save your image to the monitor's resolution which is typically between 72dpi and 96dpi depending on if you're using Mac or Windows. I have found my Macbook Pro display resolution to be sharper than my HP tablet resolution though the pixels per inch are the same. I have found that to be true for the Macbook Pro vs my 30-inch display as well when viewing webpages. For some reason Apple has a sharper display. If you export your Illustrator document to a bitmap image with a high resolution such as 300dpi you will have a sharper result, though it won't be as sharp as a vector format file, such as PDF (Not Photoshop PDF, though--Illustrator PDF). Vector formats redraw the information based on mathematical equations which represent your drawing each time you upscale or downscale the drawing by zooming in on it. You will find this to be true with "Scalable Vector Graphics" which is the .SVG file format . It is not very popular currently because not every browser supports displaying SVG, though I have heard that this will change in the future with Internet Explorer 9 and other browsers. I think Apple Safari currently supports SVG. If you export your file to SVG it will export the file and an html file which is used to render the SVG xml data. In short it is similar to publishing a webpage of your drawing or publishing a SWF file into an HTML document from Adobe Flash Pro.
