Resizing photos for web

I had some professional photos taken recently, each of which is approx 3.5MB. Is there a way to decrease the size so that a website will be able to accept them?

If the photos are in iPhoto, select them, go to the menu and choose export. Set the size in the export window. Export to a new folder on your desktop. Use the folder for uploading to the web.
You can also open them in preview and export them in the size you want.

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

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.

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. :-)

Resize photo for web

My photo in iPhoto are more than 2000x2000 pixels, 8-10 MB each. Whehter iPhoto Gallary or iWeb auto resize them? No point for me to have large files on web. And I need thousands online.

If you don't check the option to allow users to download files, then only 800x600 sized photos are uploaded to .Mac. If you are allowing downloads, the photos are limited to roughly 6MP (I can't narrow down the exact size) when uploaded. If neither option works for you, you might have to export them. I don't know what size iWeb uses.
If your photos are 8-10MB each I'm assuming they're RAW format. RAW always gets converted to JPG so even before being shrunk to within 6MP, they'll be 1-3MB JPG's. Hope this helps.

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!

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.

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.

Adobe photoshop elements 13 to resize photos for email

Can I use elements 13 to resize email photos so they are not to large to send

Yes.
Editor>Expert tab>File menu>Save for web.
In the dialog that comes up, make the long side about 800 px. The short side will fill in automatically
Check "Constrain Proportions"
Select JPEG for file format.
Make the destination folder different from the source folder so as not to overwrite the originals.
Apply.

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.

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 Save for Web & Devices?

My post isn't showing in my history so, I assume it didn't take. My post was this....I just upgraded from PS CS3 to CS5 Extended. Since upgrading, the "Save for Web & Devices" window is too large for my screen. It cuts off the bottom row of options (preview, save, done, etc.) in CS5. I have to drag the window up every time I need to preview/save something. Is there a setting that I am missing somewhere? Can it be resized? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Actually, I don't have them in AI format. First, they are all in JPG format, then I do Live Trace to make it vector, save as PDF. Reopen the PDF, then want to save as SWF.
Doing that, how would I resize? Should I resize when it's a JPG?

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.

Adding captions to photos for web gallery

I'm creating a web gallery for my web page and I'd like to add a caption to each photo and not show the file name. I've got Bridge CS4 3.0.0.464 and would like to use either the 'Filmstrip' template.
Can't figure out how to add captions.

The only way I found to do it was to apply the Caption Maker script from Russell Brown before creating the gallery.
This puts a caption on each picture.

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.
