Single photo too large?

Hi
I am trying to import a very large scanned image into iPhoto 08 (it's a TIFF file and is 765mb). The image is on a CD and is readable for instance with Preview. But I keep getting a message from iPhoto saying "Unreadable files 1: the following file could not be imported (The import failed)." Can anyone help? Is the image simply too big? I also have it as a .jp2 file (a mere 240mb) but that won't import either. Any advice much appreciated.

I don't know that the size should be a problem. Open it again in Preview, this time use the Save As command to resave it as a tiff, and try import that file.

  • On apple tv why are photos too large on slideshow

    I set up album in my iphoto, 
    selected it on apple tv
    why are some photos too large and chopping off top of photos?

    When you first sync photos to your iPod, or everytime you add new photos, iTunes goes through a process of optimizing your photos for the iPod before actually sync'ing. You can see it countdown on the screen. The results are kept in the "iPod Photo Cache" folder.
    I was under the impression that this optimizing was more a process of collecting together 25 thumbnails and putting them together in a single file together so that it enabled the ipod to show 25 pictures at once with the option to select one.. Are you sure the thumbnails are actually altered in any way.

  • Photos too large on face book

    The new OS on my I pod touch current gen and current FaceBook Inc app has started making my photos on FB my Timeline too large, any ideas?. John

    I have tried everything from deleting the app, deleting the app and logging out of Facebook from the settings, to looking for updates and info on the 'net and NOTHING.  This is not happening to everyone though.  I went to an apple store to see if they had some insight and two employees I spoke to couldn't offer any real solutions except for what I had already tried.  It is only on the iPod Touc, not the other devices. 

  • IOS 4.2 issue, or App issue? Photos too large.

    I spent two weeks in Japan, taking photos on my DSLR, and uploading them via SD card into the camera connector to the iPad. All worked fine.
    I ran Photoshop Express and iOS3.2 (can't remember if it was 3.2.1 or 3.2.2), and was able to edit all the photos, and upload them to FaceBook, and all was well.
    Since I've been back, I installed the iOS4.2 update, and an update to PS Express.
    Now, all of the photos (including ones I had previously edited) cannot be edited in PS Express, it gives me a message "This photo is too large to be viewed".
    Similarly, I've tried another program called Fluid FX, which either gives a similar message, or just crashes.
    I've made sure there are no other apps running, have tried a hard reset, and nothing has helped.
    I'm wondering if anyone might have any insights before I try downgrading back to iOS3 (and get back my orientation lock button, yay!).
    (and yes, it seems another solution is just to take lower resolution images on my camera, but who wants to do that?)

    I thought I had updated PS Express for iOS4, but checking the app in iTunes says:
    # Updated: 29 September 2010
    # Current Version: 1.3.2
    # 1.3.2 (iOS 4.0 Tested)
    which is before the iOS4.2 release.
    Fluid FX has been updated for iOS4.2

  • PSE 6 slide show photos too large for TV screen

    I have been collecting, scanning and saving family photos for over a year to create a slide show for my 81 yr. old Dad. I create a slide show with PSE 6, save to a CD and play on the TV. No matter what pixel size I resize the photos to they are still too large for the TV screen - not just one TV screen but different ones I try. I loose heads at the top, feet at the bottom, people on the sides. I have been researching but have not found the answer to solve my problem. Anyone have the answer or some suggestions I would be very appreciative.  Thanks.

    Well, first of all, choose the right resolution and frame-rate...
    Are you working in NTSC (30 fps), or PAL (25 fps)...?
    Use one of the common DV formats /
    if you choose HD, 1080i, then your TV must be able to recognize that format,
    otherwise images get cut off...
    Format                                           Rectangular Size              Square Size
    DV NTSC................................................720x480.............................. ...720x540
    DV PAL...................................................720x576............................ .....768x576
    HDV 720p..................................................NA................................. ....1280x720
    HDV 1080i.................................................NA................................. ....1920x1080
    Stay with your chosen format through-out your whole project...
    (PNG, TIFF or PSD), import those files into your video editor.
    Depending on the Operational System (Mac or Windows), one has many choices...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software
    After editing, import those files into your chosen Authoring software for burning,
    they will take care of the appropriate compression.
    (I would recommend burning to DVD, not CD, one will achieve much better quality...

  • Photo too large for drop zone

    Often when I drag a photo into the drop zone of a main menu, the photo goes in but is displayed so large that much of the subject is cropped out. Anyone have a way of shrinking the photo down so that the entire photo can be seen in the menu?

    I have found that size of the photo is rarely a problem. The problem is simply getting that portion of the photo you are interested in to show. The drop zone photo areas are small, therefore, you generally are placing photos of people that were taken from distances of 5 to 10 feet. The faces are the key to being satisfied with the photo in the drop zone ( or the car, or the motorcylcle, etc.) FORTUNATELY, you can drop the photo in the zone, and then place your cursor on the photo and move it around so that exactly the area of the photo you are concerned with will show! By moving my photos ( in effect a cropping occurs without the loss of any part of the photo. It would be like looking at a 4X6" photo and placing a 1X3" frame on it. Move the frame around to get what you want and VOILA! Hope this enables you to accomplish your drop zone objective.

  • Error Message "Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.

    I get the below error when I try to download a response as a .pdf:
    Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.
    Please go to the "Design Tab" and adjust the contents, the font-size, or divide the flagged items into multiple elements.
    Any ideas?

    Go to the Design Tab and make sure you switch to the Page View (look the bottom right corner of the screen)
    Once you see the Page View (used to see what the PDF will look like for your response) scroll down and you might see which object is being trucated (it will be covered by a red rectangle). This often happen if you have a element that is too big to fit on one page (like a single or multi choice field).
    You will need to adjust your element so that nothing is trucated.

  • Very large file 1.6 GB..sports program for school. lots of photos, template where media spots saved and dropped photos in..trying to get it to printer swho says its too large but when reduces size loses all quality...HELP??

    Please help...large file my sons Athletic program. Had noto problem with Quality last year..this new printer said file is too large..too many layers, can I FLATTEN..He reduced size and photos look awful. It is 81 pages. Have to have complete before next friday!! Help anyone??

    At that size it sounds like you have inserted lots of photos at too large a size and resolution.
    Especially for a year book style project, first determine your image sizes and crop and fix the resolution to 300 dpi, then drag them into the publication. Pages does not use external references to files and rapidly grows to quite large size unless you trim and size your images before placement.

  • HT201077 The photos I have transferred to my PC via Photo Stream are too large for me to share with friends.  How do I reduce the size and how do I share them with friends and family only?

    I have the latest iPad update on my Ipad 3 as of September 23, 2012. 
    I havejust  taken a series of photographs with my iPad that I would like to share with family and specific friends ONLY.  I have set up the photos I want to share in Photo Stream.  I have synced them to my PC via iCloud.  Everything is fine except, the pictures are far too large to share ... and I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do in order to give my family access to these Photo Stream pictures.
    How do I reduce the size of photo stream pictures once they are on my PC via iCloud?
    What exactly do I do to give access to the photos on Photo Stream to specific people?
    How can I share the videos I have taken with my iPad?
    Many thanks for your attention.  I look forward to your reply.

    Select your photo/s.
    File menu > Export..
    Kind: JPEG
    JPEG Quality: Maximum
    Include: [√] Title and keywords
                [√] Location information
    Size: Full Size
    File Name: Use filename
    Select one of the photos and open in with Preview.
    Tools menu > Show Inspector
    Under the second button choose IPTC and it is all there.
    Sorry for all the confusion.

  • Cant view photos. Says they are corupt or too large

    HI.
    I only recently purchased this laptop 1 year ago and I recently got married and have been given a USB with all of my phots on it. I cannot view them on my laptop. it comes up with photos are corrupt or damaged or too large. I can view them on my other computer I have at home with no problems and I can have the photos running in my background on my laptop but cant view them seperatly.
    Why????
    Thanks

    It depends on the OS installed and the little extra programs needed for photo viewing.  What version Windows or other OS?

  • Photos library too large

    Photos is telling me I cannot import anything as my library is too large.  I want to split the library up, but I cannot add a second library to the new Photos for OS X app.  Nothing happens when opening the app while holding down "option".
    Thanks

    Photos can handle up to 1 million image files.  How much free space do you have on the drive where your Photos Library is located?

  • HT4927 Why can't we restore a single photo in iPhoto anymore?

    The loss of this functionality has been anoying and I sincerely hope that Apple brings it back someday. It makes Time Machine a lot less useful for customers and also potentially leads to the loss of more data. It used to be that you could restore a single image, say that was acidentally deleted. Now if you were to restore the entire iPhoto Library with Time Machine, you'd get the one image back but lose every other image you added since then. That make no sense. Of course Time Machine will ask if you want to overwrite thr iPhoto Library or duplicate and keep the original, but how many people are going to know they should keep the original? And if you have a large library you may not have the space. Even if you did dupe the Library you would then need to Open the restored Library (hold option while opening iPhoto and select the Library), find the image you want back, copy it out of the old Library, quit iPhoto, re-open iPhoto with the existing Library, re-add the photo you want to restore. Way too many steps.
    There is another workaround that I will share here, but it too is too complex for many people. Bottom line Apple needs to bring back the old method for restoring iPhotos using Time Machine.
    Here's how I would restore a single image in iPhoto with Time Machine. I personally also make an extra backup of the iPhoto Library before using this method, just in case.
    Go to ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library
    Right+Click the iPhoto Library and choose 'Show Package Contents'
    Click the 'Originals' alias
    Now you should see a bunch of folders organized by year
    Activate Time Machine
    Browse back to find the image you want to restore. The folders go by year > month > day. After that the folder and image names are cryptic, but you can use the previews to find the image you want to restore.
    Select it and restore it with Time Machine.
    I would then move the image out of the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library package folder and re-add it manually to iPhoto.

    There is a way if you know the photo's file name but not fast.
    1 - download and launch Find Any File
    2 - select the Time Machine drive and search for the file name.
    3 - you'll get several hits in each library backup, i.e. the original, thumbnail, preview and editied version.
    4 - make sure you choose the file in the Originals or Masters folder and drag from the search results window to the Desktop.
    Due to the nature of the backup structure the search can take a while.
    Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to bring back the single photo restore.

  • Library too large

    I use photos professionally but my Aperture Library is now becoming too large for my Hard-drive on my Macbook Air.  I need to be able to take my Macbook with me at times to work on these photos.  What's the best way for me to do this?  I also have this library backed up to a vault on the same hard drive which seems silly.  What's the best way for me to manage things without losing the functionality to work on the photos within a single library?  I thought about splitting things into multiple libraries but then if I have a recent photo that belongs with an old photo and should reside within the same project.

    Get a large, fast external drive and put your library there, and bring it with you. Also have an up-to-date backup that you leave back at your home or office.

  • FCE export too large

    A 23:19;05 video results in a 15 Gb Quicktime movie. This file size is too large for the scope of the project, which is to produce DVD videos from weekly messages approximately 15-30 minutes in length. Details of the process I am following are below. I am using:
    iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3, 8 GB RAM
    OX 10.6.7
    FCE 4.0.1
    iDVD 7.1.1 (1150)
    I use the log and transfer option to import video from a Panasonic HDC-TM60 camera (set to HX-1920 record mode), set in and out markers on the clip and then "add clip to queue." When the clip is finished transferring I save the project then export to Quicktime Movie. The result for the above mentioned 23:19;05 video was a 15 GB .mov file. This is problematic and time consuming when using iDVD to burn to disk.  I have read the help file in FCE trying to figure out compression but did not find anything I understood in the "Sequence | Settings" menu it pointed me to. The end use of the video is personal TV widescreen format. What am I missing that is resulting in such large files?
    What settings in this process from the recording to the burning would be better to reduce file size and also cut down on the elapsed time it takes to complete making a single video into a DVD.
    Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

    Hi My two thoughts (may be irrilevant)
    A. iDVD doesn't care about Gbs at all - got movies of 500Mb that are to large and 50Gbs that fit nicely.
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (vers 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
       iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    B. FCE/P to iDVD
    Several things
    • How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Free space on Start-up hard disk
    • Encoding
    • Brand and type of DVDs used
    • Burn speed set
    • iDVD BUG
    • Chapters
    How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
    • Disable Screen and Energy saver
    • IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mixdown
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
    • Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
    This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
    Free space on Start-up hard disk
    I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
    Encoding
    • I use Pro Quality encoding
    Brand and type of DVDs used
    • I use Verbatim
    • I use DVD-R
    Burn speed set
    • I set down this to x4 (or x1)
    iDVD BUG
    • One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
    the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
    of them will work.
    Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
    Use of Chapters
    • I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
    • NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it stlf
    • No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
    (Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
    Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
    them except at very beginning - still)
    Material used to build movie
    • video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this eg .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
    • audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
    • photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
    Trash iDVD pref file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
    from post ??
    May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screensaving
