Resizing portrait photos for Premiere

I am placing resized (1000x750) photos into Premiere 13 for a video/slide show. I understand resizing for landscape photos, but how do I resize portrait photos to import into Premiere?

It's not an issue as I can export to a new size correctly with iPhoto 9.4.3.
Tried export size Large, as well as Custom with a Maximum Dimension of 1280. Same problem.
That does not affect pixel dimensions. It only changes the amount of jpeg compression that is applied to the file which affects file size, not image size.
I suggest you update your system to 10.8.3 with the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo) updater and update your iPhoto to the latest, 9.4.3. Then give it a try again.
Also you can give this a try first: Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Resizing a photo for printing

I am trying to resize a photo for printing to a 8x10 as it still crops off the top and bottom when printing. I took this with my D3100. How can I do this? I have tried printing several times.

Your image does not fit the 8x10 format - so it will always crop - probably not what you wanted to hear. But a couple of solutions for you:
Print the image on a larger paper so that it will fit, you will end up with a border - but will fit or
Resize the image in Photoshop - Image/Size to something like 9" high, that will automatically reduce the width of your image, but you will still end up with a border, but the whole image wil be there
Hope this helps, and maybe next time you can frame the image in camera to ensure your subject fits in a 4x5 ratio (leave a bunch of headroom at top and bottom)

How do I design a Process for resizing multiple files for Premiere Elements

Hi
I am trying to understand how best to resize my slide shows of still photos to export to Premiere Elements, to reduce errors in rendering, as advised on a separate discussion.
I understand I should reduce the resolution to something like the PE Frame Size, 720 by 576 for UK PAL.
I cannot do this on Files with pan and zoom
So I think this is what I do
Export a Collection to a file.
Resize all files in the folder to a new folder using the Process Multiple files command
On trying that I have the following questions
If I do it this way, the files in portrait orientation don't correctly resize to the size I want, so what do I do with a folder of mixed orientations? Do I do two passes, or rotate the Photos, or something else?
Now do I now have to reimport all these photos (the resized collection) into the Catalogue, create a new Collection, and then apply zooms in my Slide Show creation of this Collection. I really want to retain the original photos for printing quality so don't really want to take the originals out of the Catalogue. I will end up doubling the size of my catalogue?
Will the pan/zoom ones cause a problem to render in PE?
Thanks
Chris

I have PEv.8 on my machine now, but it is probably the same in v.5
In Editor, go to File>Process multiple files. In the dialog, on the right under "Labels" you should find "Watermark".
An alternative is to make a brush containing the information which you wish to impart. With a brush you can place it precisely in a locus that you desire, but this would be labor intensive for 400 photos. The brush would be retained among the other brushes, and it could be used at any time.

Autosize photo for Premiere Elements 12

I want to drag photos and videos into my Premiere Elements 12 movie timeline and then be able to autosize them so they fit properly in the movie. I've been using IMovies prior to Elements 12 and was able to do it there. Any thing like hat in Elements 12? Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
As I have said before, for automatic sizing of the import to the frame size/pixel aspect ratio of the project preset, you have a check mark next to Default Scale to Frame Size in Edit Menu/Preferences/General. With that preference in effect, the program will try to make the fit as best it can. If you are importing a 3:2 or 4:3 image into a 16:9 project, the best that the program can do is make the fit with black borders.
But....
In the Edit area monitor, you could then zoom into the image until the black borders are gone.
In the Edit area monitor, you could work with Default Scale to Frame Size disabled before import and then import the file and scale it to fit the Edit area monitor space which is defined by the project preset. The bottom line is that the program allows for one project preset, and, when you have content with different properties, then you set priorities and fit everything else into it.
It is often preferable to crop the image before import into a Premiere Elements project. The Photoshop Elements Editor crop tool is convenient for this, for example, crop to 1920 x 1080 16:9. But, this is a one by one operation. There are batch cropping/resizing programs, but often one crop setting for one photo is not always suitable for the view for each of the rest.
What are the pixels dimensions of your photos?
The easiest and quickest way might be to import as is (assuming your project project preset is appropriate for the prime source media) and then scale the photo in the Edit area monitor. Computer resources may or may not factor into the considerations on this...depends on how many photos, pixel dimensions of each, and the level of the computer resources. On a positive note, Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on Windows 8.1 64 bit is a 64 bit application which translates into better computer resources than otherwise.
Please let us know the details of these photos and then we will make additional comments if necessary.
Thank you.

Resizing a photo for email attachment

Hi
Need some help as according to the help section on my Passport, I can reduce the size of the message by reducing the size of pitcure attachments by "on the image size screen, tap a size". When adding some photos as attachments, im not presented with any options for reducing the image sizes as in previous versions and therefore may be forced to send 3 images at a time which would be very basic. Have i inadvertently switched this function off somewhere and if so how do i address this issue.
Many thanks as always in advance

How do I resize vertical photos for iMovie?

The online support says "constrain to HD" but when I do that, it just cuts off the top and bottom of photo - how do I resize it to keep the whole photo, just "shrink" it?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Double-click on the photo in the iMovie project to open its settings, and check if Ken Burns is selected. Turn it off and make sure the size slider is set all the way to the left. iMovie should display the entire photo with black bars at the sides.
Regards.

Lightroom Resizing of Photos for PrE Pan and Zoom

Not knowing better, I tried my first PrE slide show project with huge RAW stills. It worked without crashing or stalling.
For a year I've been learning and practiceing with Lightroom and like it a lot. It has a very convient risizing tool.
I'm confused on a setting. Bill Hunt used Photoshop in the article linked by John Smith. It does not mention "pixels per inch". Also, I'm setting the "long edge" at 1.5 x the original's 1920 to make room for Pan and Zoom.
I don't know what to do with "pixel per inch" to match or optimize for a AVCHD 1080p project. I'm guessing at 140.
Screen shot of Lightroom export page:
Do these setting look like they make sense? Should the pixels per inch be different?
Thanks.
Bill

I posted the same question in the Lightroom forum and got the answer that "ppi" settings are meaningless here.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5811248#5811248
While I was at it I tried several things. One was to use dimensions greater than 1920x1080 to improve Pan&Zoom. I could see no difference other than the files were bigger.

I need to resize some photos for specific size ppi, dimensions and can't find how to do this.

I don't think you can change DPI in iPhoto. You can do it in Preview or an App like Graphic Converter. Here is a screenshot from Preview. Preview is located in your Application Folder

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.

I am using elements & premiere 12 on my PC using windows 7. My problem is that photos in portrait view in slideshow are OK but when I move the slideshow to premiere to edit included video the portrait photos turn side-on and stretch when still in portrait view. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Any comments would be appreciated.

What is the Output option that you are selecting for the transfer of the Elements Organizer 12/12.1 slideshow to Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Editor?
If you are using Edit with Premiere Elements output option, are you using the Premiere Elements command to break apart the Elements Organizer slideshow and then applying rotation to the portrait files? Or, it is this more than just a photo rotation matter?
More on this in the morning.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. Iphoto only crops it landscape and therefore cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this?

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. I am using Iphoto on a Macbook Pro. Everytime I try and crop the photo, it crops in Landscape which cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this? I am new to Macs as I am currently switching from MS. It is very easy to do this in MS photo editor so I can't believe it can't be easily done in Iphoto!

These are the two steps that Larry describes:

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

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.
