Size of site and images

I have just made my first website in iWeb v2.04 on a Mac Book Pro 17" OSX 10.6.4.
The total size of the published site looks rather small on my screen. I have a 17 inch screen and I understand that the site needs to be set to dimensions that can be seen on most screens...but is there any way to increase the size?
Also the photos on my gallery pages do not end up very big after clicking to enlarge. I have gone into the inspector (?) and increased the pixel width for each photo to what seems to be the max - 700 px. But they still look pretty small.
Can I make them bigger?
thanks
Pete

just realised this should be in iWeb 08 section

Understanding the size of screen and images on it.

First, a quick thanks to you Todd and others who are providing excellent help. Even deciding what a given thing is can be problematic, let alone knowing where to look for an answer.
I created a credit sequence with 20 pt font. It seemed appropriate in the basic frame, which is perhaps a third or bit less than the screen width. I have the magnification ratio set at 100%, with view set at 1 at the bottom right of the screen.
However, when I previewed the credits at full screen using the check box in the preview pane, the font stayed the same size, rather than appearing much bigger as expected, and almost all of the text was visible on the screen, instead of most of it being concealed below the screen line. My first question is, which image is the correctly proportioned one? Or rather, how can I view the credits in the exact proportion as they would appear on another device, like a television or movie screen? And can I preview the credits on my full computer screen, to better simulate how the image would appear on a bigger screen?

I have to admit that I cannot comprehend that answer on any level. My first (perhaps naive) question is, what happens if people try to share a video or file of a video encoded say at 1280 by 720, and their player's are not compatible with the codec? Will the video appear as jibberish? Will it be compressed in the horizontal or vertical orientation? Will it play too fast or slow?
Resolution and codecs do not directly effect each other. If a device or application does not have access to the codec a given media item uses, it will be unable to play the file, simple as that. Natively, there are many files formats that a Mac or Windows PC are unable to play, but most are usually playable with simple software installations. An iPhone or iPad, as another example, cannot play Flash video files.
I just cannot believe that in this day and age when it appears to an external observer -who is not tech savvy- that everything is interconnected, and people will watch the very same video content on everything from a computer (with all kinds of playback options, Windows media player, Real Player, and many others) to a TV, blackberry, iPad, DVD player, or even a fridge(!), that there is no conformity of standards, or that video cannot be played on multiple media sources. It just makes makes no sense. How do you explain the apparent ease with which video content is exchanged between persons, programs, or devices?
Unfortunately, the variables within the digital video world are greater and more confusing than ever before. Long gone are the days when video was just PAL or NTSC. There are thousands of permutations of video codecs, resolutions and playback devices to consider. Even YouTube provides multiple playback resolutions to suit different viewers, different platforms and different bandwidth issues. There are, of course, more common file formats and resolutions that are often preferable if the end user is unknown.
In general, design for the highest common denominator. You can easily make a big video smaller, but doing the opposite is very hard if you want top quality. So if your audience ranges from HD blu-ray watchers to low-end Youtube, design in HD (1080p) and then create multiple output resolutions as required.
Remember, AE is a design and compositing tool, not a compression tool. For the best results, render lossless files from After Effects, then use a dedicated compression tool like Adobe Media Encoder to create your final delivery files.

Safari 6.0.4 is compressing all web sites and images from both sides

My MBP 13: (mid 09, 8 gb ram, OS X Mtn Lion v OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
I much prefer Safari but about a month ago Safari started showing compressed screens of website or other info.
(I tried to post a screenshot here but couldn't figure out how to do it, sorry)
I've tried a few searches on this Board w/o help; and can't figure it out myself. MacBook Pro has OSX Mtn Lion; Boot Camp/Win 7 using VM Ware Fusion (current version).
Safari worked fine for years, across all the OSX versions I've had till now.
Other browsers do not have this display problem (Firefox, Chrome).
I tried to post a screen shot of the garbled/messed up page, but couldn't figure out how to attach the shot of the screen in this condition.
TIA,
Howard/Penacious H

Open the screen shot in Preview.
Then from the Preview menu bar top of your screen click File > Open and navigate to the image then select it then click Open.
Back to the menu bar, click File > Export
Click the pop up menu where you see: Format and select JPEG then click Save.
Click the camera icon in the reply here.
Select From Your Computer > Choose file > Insert image
If you still can't insert an image, try troubleshooting Safari plugins and extensions.

How To Turn Off Top Sites And Image Caches Permanently.

Here's what I've done:
1. Quit Safari 4.0 and right-click on it's icon in the Finder. Select "Show Package Contents".
2. Look inside the Contents folder and right-click on +Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher+ and select *Compress "Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher"*.
3. Put the original Safari Webpage Preview Fetcher in the trash and empty it.
4. Navigate to +~Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews+ and highlight it. Get Info on it.
5. At the bottom click on the padlock, type in your password and then change the Privilege column for your login name to "*Read only*". Close the Get Info window.
6. Launch Safari.
I'll see how long this works before causing any issues. For right now it seems to be working and eliminates needlessly wasted CPU cycles (which matter when I'm using pro-apps and looking up things online) and stops the madness of the Webpage Previews folder from being constantly bombarded with screenshots (oddly, in both .png and .jpeg) which can eat up a LOT of space on the boot hard drive.

~Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews
Should be
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews
Personally I've tried creating a soft link to /dev/null for the Webpage Previews folder and going to see how that goes
cd /Users/honem/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
ln -s /dev/null "Webpage Previews"
ls -l
The last ls should output with Webpage Previews -> /dev/null in it somewhere indicating the Webpage Previews folder is linked to /dev/null

Text and images not displaying, but some are

I've uploaded my site, and images and text are missing. 4 pages are great, but the individual property pages are half empty (missing images, icons and text) Its a school project, so, yikes! www.icm-mp3.net/group17/
thank you in advance

I should clarify, it all worked fine on my own server. Now, on the schools site, its missing photos going across horizontally, the lightbox that goes with, a text box, an image embedded with links. The remaining elements are in their places. Could this be a server issue?
And, clever me, it is due tomorrow.

Drag and Drop and Image Size

I need to be able to drag and drop images but I need them to be a certain size when I drag them out of an Aperture project. For various reasons, I don't want to use the export function. Only drag and drop will be efficient for the workflow that I"m planning. Problem is, the pixel dimension is not wide enough when I test it by pulling an image on to the desktop.
My ultimate goal is drag them, sized and ready to go, and drop them onto a web browser upload page. I don't want to fumble with the extra steps of exporting them to another folder on the desktop and then upload the images from that folder to the browser.
So does anybody know how or if it's possible to control the drag and drop SIZE /DIMENSION of an image?

The drag and drop size is determined by your preview settings. What actually gets "dragged & dropped" is the preview, not the master file. You can control the quality and size of the preview in the Aperture preferences.

Changing resolution and image size doesn't change result on screen?

I'm using Photoshop CS3. I am trying to change the resolution of several images that will be printed in a newspaper. So the current images are 72 ppi and really huge -- for example 36 x 27 inches (document size), and when I change them to 300 ppi, the image sizes shrink to about 8 x 6 inches, as I expect. But the image I see on the screen doesn't change. So, for example, when I open up the image originally, it's at 33% and the entire image is visible. After I change the resolution, and the image size has changed accordingly, the image still appears the same and it remains at 33%. Shouldn't the image shrink on the screen since its size has shrunk? Or if it remains the same on the screen, shouldn't the percentage shift? I mean if the document size is now 8 x 6, it should be able to be displayed at 100% and not fill my whole screen... I'm so confused. Thanks...

gradded,
The "Document Size" area of the Image Size dialog is just to indicate the size (in inches) that your document will be printed. The ppi adjustment has nothing to do with what is displayed on your monitor. Your monitor doesn't care anything about ppi. The monitor contains a certain number of pixels and after you change that ppi setting, the monitor will still have that same number of pixels.
As long as you leave the "Resample Image" box unchecked, your image size (Pixel Dimensions) will not change. You will see no change on your monitor. If you check the "Resample Image" box, then your image size (in pixels) will change.
Hope this helps.

Sharepoint Site and Database Size Conflict

Hello,
We are at the initial face of migration from Sharepoint 2010 to Sharepoint online. We have gather all the reports but for some reason, Report for Site show more data size than Content database.
eg. I have content Database size of 5 GB.

I'm using FF for Mac 3.6.13 and everytime I open a new window or tab the image of what I see is tiny which requires me to click Command + to enlarge it. The actual page is normal size, but its the image of the page that opens tiny.

I'm using FF for Mac 3.6.13 and every time I open a new window or tab the image of what I see is tiny which then requires me to click Command + to enlarge it about 4 or 5 times. The actual page is normal size, but its the image (what I see) of the page that is tiny.

Thanks but Command 0 on a Mac only makes a temporary change to that one page. The link you provided doesn't show how to make a permanent change. Do you know how to permanently change this so I don't have to do it to every new page?
Thank you.

Aperture is exporting large file size e.g. original image is 18.2MB and the exported version (TFF 16 Bit) is 47.9MB, any ideas please

Aperture is exporting large file size e.g. original image is 18.2MB and the exported version (TFF 16 Bit) is 47.9MB, any ideas please

Raws, even if not compressed, Sould be smaller than a 24-bit Tiff, since they have only one bitplane. My T3i shoots 14 bit 18MP raws and has a raw file size of 24.5 MB*. An uncompressed Tiff should have a size of 18 MP x 3 bytes per pixel or 54 MB.
*There must be some lossless compression going on since 18 MP times 1.75 bytes per pixel is 31.5MB for uncompressed raw.

Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size

Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size to 7 inches on the long edge. My exported result is 457 dpi and sized at 3200x2134 pixels.. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?

The DPI setting in a digital image has no meaning at all. You need to learn how to calculate what you need in your exported image. The only measurement in a digital image that has any meaning is the number of pixels in each direction. It doesn't matter what you set that DPI to (actually it's PPI or pixels per inch). The image will have the same number of pixels regardless of the setting. If you need an image that is 5 x 7" (for example) at 200 PPI then you would want an image that measured:
5 x 200 = 1000 pixels
7 x 200 = 1400 pixels
So you would need an image that is 1000 x 1400 pixels to have a 5 x 7" image at 200 PPI. The reason your exported image had such a high PPI setting is because you specified the number of inches you wanted the image to be. And there were enough pixels in the image that it calculated out to be that high PPI setting.
I apologize, I don't explain this very well. But you need to learn to do the math to determine how large you really want your exported images to be.

JPEG size and image losses in Flash CS3

I am creating a website for a wedding and using the photos of the couple on the website. I created designs in Photoshop CS3 with the following settings:
Document Size: 6.25" x 8.25" or 1875p x 2475p @ 300pixels/inch
To use the image in flash, I used "Save As" in photoshop to convert image into JPEG with "Quality 10 Maximum" setting.
I created a Flash CS3 document with the following settings:
Document Size: 6.25" x 8.25" or 494 x 550 pixels
I imported the JPEG image from photoshop into flash and came in an image much larger than 6.25"x8.25". I resized the image in flash with constrained dimensions to 494x550 pixels and it the text shadows and glow lost its clarity.
TRIAL 1
Obviously something was wrong. So, I went back to Photoshop and used the save for web/devices option and saved it as a high quality JPEG. Same result.
TRIAL 2
This time, I tried a different trick in Photoshop. I went to Image->Image Size and changed the image resolution to 150pixels/inch and used "Save As" again. I imported it again to Flash and now the image was too small.
How do I match the image "save as" from photoshop to the flash document size so that I dont lose resolution? I used Zoomify in photoshop successfully without losses. Why is it not possible to just import an image to look the same way a JPEG file appears?

Hi,
screen resolution is 72. So if you save your jpg at 72 with the desired size in pixels, the image will appear just fine inside flash, but, two things to keep in mind:
-What counts is size in pixels. Resolution only matters when you go printing (where the rate between inches and pixels is needed). For web you have to watch the size in pixels only. Even if resolution is different from 72, if you scale the image to the original size in pixels it will be displayed well in the flash movie (if the movie itself isn't scaled neither)
And, it isn't the exactly same to import to scenary that to import to library. When you import to scenary (ctrl+r) sometimes flash resize the object, so maybe you get some distorsion in jpg files. Going to transform panel or in property inspector panel you can set the image size to 100 percent again. When you import to library you have to drag the image into the stage, and then the image will appear at 100%.
i hope this helps,
Jorge

Keep actual image size when rotating and exporting to PDF

When one rotates an image in a non-right angle in InDesign, the resulting image in the PDF, even if looks the same size of the original image when compared save for being rotated, actually shrink in size. That's noticieable when one saves the image from the PDF as the rotated image appears rotated inside the same size of the original, rather than being larger. I fear it may cause some quality loss at print. Is there any workaround around it?
Or it is just a previsualization glitch and the file prints normal? (as while importing the PDF in Illustrator seems to keep the original resolution of the image)

I can't see a difference in size between two copies of the same image when one is rotated in a non-right angle and the other is at zero rotation.
From the way your question is worded, I'm not sure what you are doing.

If it looks the same size, what makes you think it is not?

Colors and images on itunes U site not displaying correctly.

After the issues of not being able to login this weekend our site has dropped much of it's theming, including colors and images. The page/course thumbnails still show as well as the background image, but all the other areas look like they are missing the background images. Is anyone else having the same issues with their site. This is the original "private" site, not the new PSM version.
Thanks,
Kyle

Dreamweaver CS3 - Cannot create root and image folder in Site Management. (Create New Site)

Good day everyone,
I am not able to create folders for a new site in Dreamweaver CS3.
This is the problem:
I open Dreamweaver
I go to site and click on create new site
In the new site panel I name the site eg: Test Site
Then I click on the browse folder to attached a root folder and image folder for the site
This is where the problem starts, when I browse to the folders, Dreamweaver does not keep the location/path.
Like this: My folder is created in the following directory.
C:\xampp\htdocs\my_site_folder
So when I browse to this folder and click save
the path does not stay in Dreamweaver, all the stays is this.
C:\xampp\htdocs\
The site name does not remain.
I cannot get Dreamweaver to hold the path.
Same for the image folder.
I noticed this started to happened after I updated Vista to Service pack 2.
I have never seen this happen before.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Patrick
