Should I reduce picture size for iWeb?

The pictures from my camera typically range in size from about 2 to 5.5 MB. Is there some reason I should reduce the size of the pictures before publishing them?

Wyodor,
I assume, from your message, that you feel I'm being lazy. However, that's simply not true. I have no idea how to check these things. I have two web sites--one for my disabled grandson and one for my first grade class. I am a gramma and a first grade teacher. While I do pretty well with my mac, I often need technical help. That's why I am using this forum.
So, if you (or anyone else) is willing to spend a bit of time, here's what I need: I take pictures of the children in my class every day and post them on my classroom website. Their parents love these pictures and wish to download some of them to print. From what I can tell, all the pictures posted on my site are automatically compressed, regardless of the method I used to post them on the page? I did find an option for the pictures to be medium, large, or full size. That would allow good prints after downloading. However, I do not want to set up my web pages in a way that it takes a long time for them to load.
I spoke to someone at school today who thinks that every picture on the web page is greatly compressed, regardless of what size is selected. He is very knowledgeable. If that is the case, there would be no reason not to select the "large" or "full size" selection as it would not slow down the load time. I would appreciate it if someone can confirm this, or explain what will best meet my needs as described above.
Thanks!

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Here's two apps you can use or get Apple's iPhoto for the new iPad.

Is there any way under iOS7 to show the full home screen without the 3D band at the bottom reducing picture size?

Is there any way under iOS7 to show the full home screen without the 3D band at the bottom reducing picture size? I want to see full pictures from my camera roll, not "special effects" from Apple..

By 3D band are you referring to the Dock area where apps like Safari and Mail live? If so there is no way to remove this.

Is there a maximum website size for iWeb?

iWeb looked like the answer to my dreams. I needed to put together a website for my consulting business fast…I have another book coming out in a week or two.
I tried on of those sites where you use their development tools on-line. Big disappointment. Too restricted and wouldn't allow me to be creative. Then I looked at spending $400 (or whatever) for DreamWeaver and go through a long learning curve learning html.
Then I saw the ad for iWeb. Just what I needed. Mac software. Intuitive to use. A snap to learn. But I am now having problems publishing my iWeb created web-site to my domain. I am not using a .Mac account. The book already has my website listed as bobwallonline.com. Too late to change.
My Domain size, as measured in Application support, iWeb, is now at 8.7 MB on disk. I am exceeding iWeb's limitations or is the problem to be found with ftp software I'm using to publish my site. (I'm using Web Echo and have had nothing but trouble with it since I got started.)
So frustrating. I've got the tool that allows me to create just what I had in mind but I can't seem to publish it. Would a Macintosh support person please answer this so that I have a definitive answer as to whether or not I am exceeding iWeb's capabities? Thanks, Bob in Connecticut

Bob, I also believe that one of the main issues hindering your work is that you have an older computer with very little memory. On another note you should enter your web host via the internet. Log on to your hosting service and delete what ever files are in there. Take your iweb site and save it to a new folder on your desktop. This will put all your files neatly in one location. then use your ftp software to connect to your host and upload your site to the server. Once uploaded make sure your index page shows and your folder. It should work fine after that. If you like to download new FTP software try Interarchy 8.2 it's the one i'm using and it's pretty fast. I got it from the Apple website on their Mac OSX link. Once there go to the downloads Link and on the side bar look for the internet utilities link.
Hope that helps and good luck.

Optimum Image Sizes for iWeb 08?

I'm trying to find an optimum size for images for an online portfolio. . I have the photos in their native resolution, and I'm wondering what size should I downsize them to for the slideshow view. . . any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

It really depends on how many photos you want to load and what quality you need.
You have to trade of these against the download speed of your webpage.
The iWeb Photos or Albums pages are not the best way to present your work.
Have a look at flash.....

Reducing picture size

I wonder if someone would be kind enough to help. I wanted to put all my holiday photos on a picture-sharing site (Photobucket), but it seemed they were too big and it took forever. It was suggested that I reduce their size on Adobe Photoshop and I have downloaded it (Starter Edition 3.2). However, I can't seem to find a facility to do this. What I would really like to do is reduce all of the file sizes at once. Is this possible? Otherwise I will reduce them one by one, but don't know how to do this either.
Thank you.

This is not a Photoshop question, but rather a Photoshop Album question, Totally different product. Here's their forum:

And check this out as well:

In Photoshop it would be Image>Image Size, and I suspect it's something similar in Album, but don't know for sure. What does Help say?

How do I reduce MB size for jpg photos?

How do I reduce the MB size for a group of photos I took. I want to save these reduced photos and send them to a client.

IF you want to reduce just the file size and not necessarily the dimensional size...
Create an action to "Save for Web", and run a batch using that action.
I'll show it on a Mac but it's the same for Windows.
1. Open one photo.
2. In the Actions panel click the menu selector and choose "New Action.
3. Name the action and click "Record".
4. Press Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S to Save for Web (Alt+Cmd+Shift+S on Mac).
5. Select a save destination and then close the file, selecting "Do Not Save" when you do so.
6. Press the Stop button.
7. Click File>Automate>Batch.
8. Choose the parameters for the batch and click "OK"
It'll reduce the file size of the photos you chose.

Reduce pdf size for Livescribe files

Does anyone have Livescribe for Mac? I am trying to reduce the pdf size of these files once I convert, and having no luck with ColorSync filters.
Any help would be appreciated!

When you have those scanned documents in the computer, and choose
Print> Save as PDF> what size file(s) are generated at the page level?
This may reduce files size from that of the original scan, since it would be
using a print alternative to 'save as pdf' instead of printing the file. Since
the system's Preview application as well as Adobe Reader can open the
print> save as pdf> files; you can check to see if this makes smaller pdf.
You could also set the defaults so screen-shot captures are .jpg and then
check their per-page file size to compare the difference. Perhaps one of
these methods could result in a way to send a smaller file of the content.
The .jpegs could be combined in a folder to be sent as a .zip attachment.
I've used OnyX to change the default screen capture to jpg from png; so
all screen shots (command shift 4, or 3) will make jpegs automatically.
There used to be some good freeware tools to change .PDFs, but the
ones I'd tried some years ago are either extinct or cost real money...
Good luck & happy computing!

Most efficient photo size for iWeb 08

I am building my photography web site in iWeb 08. I have many photos that were previously edited in Photoshop. Some are jpeg and others are psd files. I plan to resize and save all as a jpeg. Then I will import all photo files into iPhoto and use iPhoto as my source location for iWeb.
Question: What size and resolution would be best for iWeb? I realize that iWeb will automatically resize the photos so I want my photos to be a little larger than that. I am trying to avoid importing huge photo files in to iPhoto when I smaller photo file is sufficient.

First of all go to iWeb preferences and uncheck "Optimize images on import".
To get a reasonably fast download time, its not a question of the size of the individual images but the sum total of all the images on a page. Some people put an incredible number of photos on a page and then wonder why it hangs in the browser.
To quickly change file format, decrease file size and get a visual indication of download speed for an image you could try the freeware ImageWell.
http://xtralean.com/IWOverview.html
This application will also watermark your photos and will work in batch mode if you buy the shareware version.
If you want to optimize your JPEGs, as well as all your website files, you can use HTML Optimizer to noticeably increase your website download speed.

Publishing your site to a server, rather than .Mac, will also give you faster download and more storage space for your money.

Sharing a photo from Finder to Facebook reduces picture size

Yesterday I installed 10.8.2 upgrade and I tried sharing from finder to facebook. Picture size in finder is 720px × 437px and after sharing 346px × 210px in Facebook. How can I keep original size of the photo after share?

iPhoto for iOS always optimizes the shared photo for the site it's being shared to. The only way to edit a photo and export it that I know of is to share it to iTunes. Unfortunately that means to get the photo you have to sync with your computer, export it from the file sharing section of iTunes then share it to the site you want to put it on.
To get around this limitation I use an alternate app. My favorite is Photoforge2. It will work with any photo you have in the Photos app and export at the file size you want. You can leave the file at its original size or make it smaller. Your original file will remain untouched and the edited file can be shared back to the Camera Rool in the Photos app if desired. You can also share to a variety of sites like Photobucket or email the photo.

Reducing photo size for email

I'm stumped ... how do I reduce the size of photos for e-mail?

If you are using a client supported by iPhoto you simply select the photo(s) and click email - one of the options is JPEG compression and another is photo size
If you are using Apple Mail then you have a second selection available in the lower right hand corner of the mail create window
If you are using a non supported client including a web browser then you must export the photos first reducing them as part of the export process

Reduce file size for web use

Hello,
I created a website some months ago and I realize now the images are far too large and it takes a second for them to load. So I opened them in photoshop and changed the PPI to around 50, but the file size didn't shrink. I tried 10, and still nothing. I tried Save For Web and the file size got larger. Any ideas on how to keep the image quality (for web) but reduce the file size for easy page loading? Thank you.

Don't worry over the ppi value. That's arbitrary.
You can reduce the pixel count, by resampling. That will make an image smaller in a hurry. To do this, Image - Image Size, check the [ ] Resample Image checkbox, and change the pixel counts. I always set my Photoshop prefs so that I see the Image Size in pixels by default. If yours isn't reading in pixels by default, change the units so that it is.
However, you may need to have your images be a certain size, in pixels, and so resampling isn't an option. In that case, when you do File - Save As - JPEG (or use Save for Web & Devices), adjust the Quality value to get the image to the size you need.
Hope this helps!

Or, ask the device vender to reduce the form size for u in their implementation.
Any one with a better answer ??????
