Slideshow best photo size?

I know there has been much discussion about resolution for photos into slide shows. But has there been a final word. I am wondering about best resolution and best size to use for the slide show that will be built in iPhoto and moved into iDVD for burning.
I am running iPhoto 7.1.3 and iDVD 7.0.2
Thanks,
Ron

Ron:
Just make sure the size ratio of the photos is 4:3. Most digital cameras take photos in that ratio so you probably won't have to do any cropping.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Best photo size for import?

What is the best way to minimize the blurring that occurs when pictures are resized in FCP? (ref: this thread) Should I resize the picture to my intended export resolution using a different program before i import it in FCP? Does motion do this better than FCP? Only use 3+ megapixel photos? other ideas?
iMac Core2Duo 2.16 GHz 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB RAM RadeonX1600 PCIe 128 MB FCP 5.1.2

how are you viewing these blurry images? in the
canvas or an external monitor? the canvas is just a
preview quality version. also, depending on the
resolution of the image, there may be too much detail
which is being lost due to the alternating scanline
method by which your picture is displayed on a tv
yes, I'm just viewing the picture in the canvas. what kind of quality improvement can I expect in a final render to DVD?

Best Block Size in Raid for Photo files

I am setting up my two drive striped RAID 0 and came to a screeching halt at the raid block size.
This RASID is strictly for photo scans and PS CS2 photo files, mostly high res, some medium JPEGs.
Adobe says PS CS2's default block size in 64K, if I can believe the technical support guy, who said it off the top of his head, after not understanding what I was talking about.
Apple Tech support first knew nothing about it. Then, after checking all over for quite some time, said 32K is adequate for what I am doing but 64K is alright. In other words, he said nothing.
What would be the best block size for my purpose and why.
One scan file size that I just checked is 135.2MB, another 134.6 MB and that is typical. JPEGs are, of course, smaller, ca 284 KB. Photos with the Canon EOS-1Ds Mk II run 9mb up to 200mb after processing. No other tyhpes of files will be on this drive.
What would be the ideal block size and why?
Thanks much,
Mark

The default 32K is for small random I/O pattern of a server. Use 128/256K for audio and video files. And 64K for workstation use.
the larger block size gives the best performance for sequential I/O. Someone mentioned an AMUG review of CS2 tests that showed that 64K.
Because this is probably a scratch volume, you could always test for yourself, and rebuild the RAID later and try a different scheme. Sometimes that is the best way to match your drives, your workflow, and system. There are a couple CS2 scripts and benchmark utilities to help get an idea of how long each step or operation takes.

What is the best actual size and resolution to save photos to put on your iPhone?

What is the best actual size and resolution to save photos to be easily viewed on IPhone?

Sorry, this is my first use of this support site. I didn't realize that it was only for technical questions. I am not the one who loses his iPhone, but I just wanted to provide some help to our family member who does. He is usually a very responsible person, but he has lost his phone more than once.

Fill screen with zoom for small photo sizes (as in slideshow)?

Front facing iPhone 4S camera sized photos are too small in iPhoto. Is it possible to set a default to fill screen with zoom for all photo sizes (as in slideshow)? Seems like the old iPhoto worked like this.

That's what I was afraid of! I wish it would still scale photos to fill the window also if they're smaller than the window size (not just 100%), like it used to in older versions of iPhoto. Especially irritating, since the problem photos are from an Apple product, the front facing camera of the iPhone4s. I already added my complaint to "feedback".
Thanks anyway.

Photo size and uploading to Apple

I'm in the process of making a quite large iPhoto book for my SIL for her b'day. The photos are a compiltion from many of mine, and others sent to me by family members. They are all different sizes, resolution, color and B/W.
After getting them organized, doing a bit of fixing on PS, I now am ready to get them into iPhoto.
Is it wise to take them all into Lightroom where I can do an easy batch change of the resolution? I have read where they should be around 300. It is easy to change them and the test prints I did at home looked ok, even on the small ones that aren't too big to start with. On the export menu of Lightroom, I have the option of stating whether I want them to be exported at JPG, Tiff etc., and I can change the resolution and photo size too.
I probably would export them as JPG, 300 res. and not change their size. Is this ok for the iPhoto books?
Also, if they are of a higher resolution, I assume it will take quite a while to upload them to Apple even with high speed fiberoptic cable internet service.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks, Allie

Allie:
DO NO USE Lightroom as it messes up the metadata and makes the files not useable in iPhoto. You do not have to preprocess the files to set the dpi to 300 specifically. The only important feature of the file is the pixel dimensions. If the pixel dimensions are large enough as you state you can leave them as is. iPhoto will fit them into the frame you choose and the dpi will be determined that way. No matter what size the files are the book is converted into a pdf file for uploading and printing. My last book of nearly 100 pages came in at approx. 25MB.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back.

It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it.

Change Slideshow Thumbnail Photo States Via Crop Tool?

In a slideshow widget, I've noticed the only way I can change one of the thumbnail image's "states" to a different image (like a sepia version of the same image) is to double click on the thumbnail "image frame" and then slide the current image out of frame (using the crop tool also allows the same thing) and then I am left with a blank "image frame." Into that blank image frame, I can then FILL it with another image (the sepia version) and apply all different "states" (rollover, etc) to that image frame WHILE maintaining the original full size image that the thumbnail (target) is originally linked too.
So basically I then have a hidden cropped thumbnail image frame and my true (sepia version) image frame. Everything seems to preview properly, but what if any effect does all this "hidden" code info have? Anything. If I have 200 or so thumbnail images attached to a slideshow and each would have one of these "hidden" cropped boxes.
Thoughts anyone?

I have not a link yet, i'm preparing the graphic layout at the time. I bypassed the problem importing in muse the right photos size without use crop. Maybe i should see better edit photo functions tutorials. I'm new with Muse.

Adobe Tools - Best Photo Format for Web Content

Hi,
We have recently redesigned our website at http://www.aljoufilaw.com/ar/ and inserted photos in the homepage and its sub-pages.
Our concern is that we want to have the photos in the best quality and with high resolution. What is the best photo format to achieve this? We had converted our photos in Photoshop to JPEG and PNG.
Does increasing the resolution in Photoshop by going to image>image size>resolution, helps the quality of the photo in the website?
We appreciate your expert advice and opinion on this.

No. Resolution is a print concept which has no real meaning on the web. What matters on the web is height & width in pixels (500 x 325).
Even if you save images at 300 dpi for print, they will be displayed in web browsers at 72 ppi (or slightly higher in HiDef displays).
Higher bandwidth (file size) just makes your images load very slowly with no significant gain in quality.
In Photoshop, use File | Save for Web & use the 4-up tab to compare file size with image quality. Rule of thumb on the web is to use optimized JPGs for photos and select the smallest file size you can get away with, then back off a tad.
See screenshot from Photoshop.

Slideshow crop photos problem when i close the thumbnail botton

In the slideshow i use thumbnail photo "turned on" to change the pictures (is it the only way to do it?) and manage them with crop function but when i later close thumbnail (i don't want visible) photos resize. Any suggestion ?

Slideshow resize photos problem

Hi there,
Yesterday I did a wonderful slideshow ( basic) in Muse with 3 variants of each of the used motives.
Today, I worked on the slideshow, and now - the pics appear in different sizes although they have the same pix-size.
What is a stake here - anybody know?
Michael

Please tell me you can use pan/zoom tool for photo slideshow with photos not cropped to screen?

I'm new to Mac and Premiere Elements (former PC/Sony Vegas Movie user), and am trying to do a Ken Burns type photo slideshow wherein my photos are left in their normal cropped state. Right now it seems all photos get cropped to fill the screen size (i.e. 16:9). I saw where you could uncheck the scale photo size to media (or something to that effect) under the general setting in preferences, but using the pan/zool tool still shows photos cropped to fill screen. I realize conflicting aspect ratio will result in black bars top/bottom or left/right of frame, and that's ok/what I want. I'm hoping this is doable? Thanks, Jim

jimdrought
The primary question that I have is what is the end product...DVD-VIDEO Standard on DVD disc, DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc or other?
Let us assume for now DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on DVD disc. The next question that falls into line is the one relating to what you describe as an assortment of photos going into this project...what are the pixel dimensions (what range of...) and aspect ratio. For aspect ratio, are we talking 4:3 or 16:9. How many of these photos are landscape oriented or how many portrait oriented.
In generalities at this point, I would ask you to look at:
a. bringing your photos appropriately sized into a Premiere Elements project with an appropriate project preset.
b. leaving Edit Menu/Preferences/General with its Default Scale to Frame Size with a check mark.
c. in the workspace, scaling the photos to just fill the space in the Edit Mode Monitor
d. then one by one pan and zoom a photo with the Pan and Zoom Tool.
If you use this Tool, you should get good results. One consideration is that the process results in the Timeline photo having a much larger duration AFTER than BEFORE. If you see any pros in using this tool for your purposes, then you might want to explore the technique that I described for applying a pan and zoom effect from this Tool to more than one photo at a time.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-pan-zoom-tool-more-than-one-photo.html
You also might want to explore fxEffects/Presets for horizontal and vertical pans or zoom. The catch in the presets is that you can apply a pan OR zoom, not a pan AND zoom to each photo.
Keyframing of Scale (for Zoom) and Position (for Pan) should be explored under Applied Effects/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded/Scale and Position properties.
With more details from you, we could go step by step in any of the above.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. I was given the choice of small, medium or large the first time I took a picture. Now I have no idea how to change it to medium. Can anyone help?

I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. The first time I took a pic it asked if I wanted smalll, medium or large and listed the pixels. I chose small but am now finding that is too small. Can anyone help me set it to medium now? I can't find any setting for that. I'm a newby to iPhones and have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks for any help you can offer.

By "sending" do you mean sending email?
If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
To my knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

I have a problem with iPhoto on my iMac. Under the view site, I am unable to get to the photo size function. It is grayed out

Under the view designation in iPhoto, the photo pane and photo size options are grayed out. How can I get them turned back on so I can modify the size of small old photo I have scanned in.

There is no way to increase the size of a photo image once it's been scanned/taken. If you want larger images from a scanned image scan it at a higher resolution, dpi.
Additionally, with the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by "view designation"?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

I currently have iPhoto on my new 27" 17, iMac. What is the best photo editing software. I have photo shop elements on my previous mac which I liked many features.

I currently have an imac 27", i7. I have iphoto on this computer. What is the best photo editing software to purchase or download?
On my previouw mac I had Photo Shop Elenemts and Photoshop CS3. Both of the later had features that I liked.
I am an amatuer family photographer; What is the best photo editing software. I do not think I need the power and confusion of full version photoshop.

I take it you are looking for replacements for the apps you used on a previous Mac?
I do not have Photoshop Elements, so I do not know about compatibility. But this site will tell you:
http://roaringapps.com
Photoshop CS3 does run in OS 10.9.1. (I use it just about everyday.) You do not have to give it up.
And there is Gimp, which is free and powerful.
