Sorting photos by dimensions or image size?

Has anyone heard of or found a way to do this? I have upward of 10000 images and I need to sort out the ones that meet a certain minimum pixel dimension. A smart folder would be sweet.
Any help is appreciated.

I created some custom Keywords in Preferences>Keywords for specific image sizes, then went through my library and assigned the Keywords to the corresponding images using Photos>Get Info (or Cmd-I). It's time consuming, but you can select multiple images and assign a Keyword to all of them at the same time to speed things up. Once you're done you can create Smart Albums and use the Keywords as criteria. Hope that helps!

LR 5 - Image Sizing Dimensions - wrong image size

Hi,
Image Sizing Dimensions produces wrong image sizes upon export for certain images.
Example, I have export set up for iPad resolution, 2048x1536px at 264ppi. If I now export an 3264x4928px image it should be resized to 1356x2048px. What I get is 1356x2047 instead, one pixel too short on the long side. This doesn't happen for all images source resolutions and ratios though. I haven't figured out the pattern yet.
Here a link to an image which exports at wrong size (export dimension set to 2048x1536px).
http://www.bobtronic.com/files/IMG_0289.JPG
I would appreciate a speedy fix for this problem. Thanks
cheers,
Matthias

The image has a resolution of 3264x4928. Exporting using Dimension resizing of 2048x1536 results in an 2047x1536 image.
The scaling factor 4928 down to 2048, is 0.4155844155844156...
Assuming that LR is working to only 3 decimal places here, which indications discussed in another thread would suggest, then there are several ways to achieve that:
truncate down to 0.415 by discarding the subsequent digits
"quick-rounding" of the third digit by inspecting the fourth-place digit only, and incrementing the third-place digit when the fourth-place digit is larger than 5, which it is not in this case, resulting in 0.415
"math-rounding" by inspecting all of the following digit pairs in turn, until you reach a pair that is lower than 50, and then working back again to simplify. This procedure rounds 0.41558 up to 0.4156, then after doing that, rounds 0,4156 up to 0.416
Speculation: the difference between 0.415 and 0.416, is the difference between a result with 2047, and one with 2048, when executed.
Most of the time the "quick-round" procedure will work out fine, also truncating will usually be good enough, assuming the above has anything to do with the reality (which it may not). Just occasionally, though, there'll be an error in the final digit, compared with what the theoretically accurate procedure would have given. So if I am right this is not strictly speaking a bug (something failing to execute as it has been designed to do), but the result of a software design choice. "Works as designed", iow .
It seems that LR, perhaps differently between versions, is working this through by simple calculation (from the front-end), without comparing the back-end outcome against what you have requested. How much this (intermittent) issue actually matters, is a question of judgement, and of particular requirement.
[ alternative method: I find the Print module, outputting to JPG, is completely reliable when it comes to making a standardised JPG as to the dimensions, as well as offering some different technical and design options, than what you get with Export. For one thing, you get the option of on-the-fly cropping to shape, which you can then adjust interactively where (as here) the image is a different aspect than the Retina display. So if you want it, you can fill the screen instead of getting letterbox, all without having altered your main (Develop) crop for that image. Alternatively, if you don't want the Zoom to Fill option (e.g. with landscape images to be shown in portrait orientation as part of a sequence) you can still make all your images to the same dimension, but controlling the appearance of the borders that are left (which become part of the image) ]
RP
ps: AFAICT one would expect simple truncation to produce the appropriate answer half of the time; one would expect simple rounding to just one further digit, to be wrong half of the times when the following digit happened to be 5 - or to put in another way, to be right in 95% of cases; and proper rounding, examinng as many places as it takes, to be right 100% (within precision limits).

Photo image size after file transfer much smaller

I am transfering photos over to my wife's Macbook and after the transfer, the photos are of a much smaller file size. Is there a way to transfer the photos at their full image size?

Dragging and dropping to a web-based email (gmail) makes the photo appear inside the message itself, and not as an attachment, which is what I wanted.

Advanced Sort, Filter (color, image size), DUPLICATES, face recognition, GUI customizeability

Hi,
here are some of my Lightroom Feature Requests (maybe later more):
- Filter based on image size. Example: show me all photos with a resolution of 1600x1200 or less.
- More complex filtering. Example: show me all photos from the Collection A that are tagged with keyword 'k1' and 'k2' but not with keyword 'k3' and that are in the date range d1-d2 and were made with camera model X.
- Automatic portrait/human face recognition
- Sort and filter by color! Example: show me all photos that are mostly green (blue, yellow, red, ...)
- Intelligent recognition and optional deletion of duplicates. Calculate some kind of fingerprint for each photo (file size won't do I guess) so that it will be possible to recognize duplicates EVEN if they are of different image resolution or orientation (landscape, portrait), i.e. really based on CONTENT of the image!
- Make the components in the side panels movable so that the user can arrange his/her own panel with the components he uses most and on that side of the screen where he wants it.
Besides that: I LOVE Lightroom. A GREAT product!! Use it A LOT!
Nice greetings from Germany,
Stefan.

I second that.
"More complex filtering. Example: show me all photos from the Collection A that are tagged with keyword 'k1' and 'k2' but not with keyword 'k3' and that are in the date range d1-d2 and were made with camera model X."
This should be relatively easy to do. Most other DAMs in the market, e.g. ACDSee, do have this feature. It doesn't really becomes a real database until you have this feature.
"Intelligent recognition and optional deletion of duplicates."
Another great feature in ACDSee. Somehow it finds duplicates, even if filenames and dates are different, shows the different photos and gives you an option on what to do.

Photo Stream Image Size to iPad

Is there a way to set the image size dementions that are uploaded via Photo Stream to iPad?

The image size is determined automatic. See iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 50 pixels wide.

Image size versus dimension

I am just trying to get my head around image size versus dimension and an answer to my following question may solve it once and for all! I save a jpg say at 1000 pixels wide and at 100 ppi at file quality 10. But if I save the same file at 1000 pixels wide and again at 100 ppi but this time at quality 5 - what is happening to the file? I have the same number of pixels in the photo but what is the quality slider actually doing?
Many thanks
Sue

21st century or not, if you are talking about file integrity, nothing beats an EPS. Although as stated previously, EPS has definitely fallen out of popularity, partly I think due to cross-platform issues -- i.e., PC's inability to deal with them (talk about archaic) and partly due to hosting applications current ability to accept native files. EPSs are totally encapsulated, totally lossless, and totally impervious to hosting software interference -- which TIFFs, JPEGs, nor PSDs can boast. Basically, WYSIWYG.
And yes, there actually are instances where you DO just re-save files -- usually in an attempt to clean up corrupt or problematic files -- but not just for the sake of re-saving. I agree, nobody does that. I was just making a point.
I'm not advocating JPEGs and by no means do I advocate the constant re-saving of them. But I will not discount them as fodder or relegate them strictly to the internet! They are simply another tool in the toolbox. I do agree with you that saving as JPEG should be the last step in the production process. In addition, a full-bodied backup should be kept in reserve (be it TIFF, PSD, or heaven forbid, EPS).
My original point was to address Sue's question of "Image versus Dimension" in JPEG format. My point with you is that JPEGs definitely have a place and some advantages when a balance of quality versus file size/storage space is an issue. It is ridiculous to simply discount JPEG to the web. Although I would not use it for a high-end brochure or an annual report, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use JPEG for newsprint, high-end copying and some direct imaging. It is a sound format if applied properly based on the end usage. But by no means is it an end-all format. And, I think I work in the same world as you.

What image size for full page photo?

What image size is required to be able to create a single full page photo in an iPhoto book?
I shoot in RAW and use Lightroom for most of my photography. However, for family pictures, I'd like to create an iPhoto book. I exported from Lightroom as 100% quality jPEGs / at 320 dpi / small side 2000 pixels -- but I still get a triangle warning that this is not big enough for a single photo page. What dimensions/resolution is required to put one photo on a page?
By the way, would you recommend jPEG? I tried TIFF and while those file sizes much larger, I still get warning triangle?
Finally, when I re-import to the new size that someone hopefully will recommend, how do I delete my old (too small) images in iPhoto?

AEPC
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
In iPhoto '08 & '09 the warning comes on if a photo is below 180 dpi - so for 8.5 x 11 you need a minimum photo size of 1530 x 1980 pixels - and remember is you zoom or crop the photo in the book the area you actually printing must be that - not the original sized photo
The format of the photo (TIFF or JPEG) makes no difference in the warning symbol only the pixel size

E-mailing photos without reducing image size

I have tried using the image size box in the message window (set at actual size) but still a 4MB photo in my aperture library is reduced to 400kB when I attach it to an e-mail. I'v spent far too long on this. Would appreciate help. Cheers.

How are you getting from Aperture to Mail?
Using File>Email from Within Aperture? This will reduce the pixel dimensions of the image according to the export preset chosen in Aperture's preferences.
Dragging an image from the Aperture window into an email, or using the media browser? This will use the Preview file, and the pixel dimensions will be constrained by your Preview settings in Aperture, and will cause problems for people who aren't using Apple Mail because the image will be in Adobe98 not sRGB.
Another question - what is the original file format? Even if the pixel dimensions are the same, 4MB to 0.4MB difference could be due to going from a TIFF or PSD to a JPEG.

Photo gallery image size

Hi. Is it possible to adjust the photo gallery module's code in a way that makes the image that gets displayed on selecting the thumbnail image display no larger than the browser? I have a client that's uploaded image that are pretty large and would prefer not to have to save them as smaller images if possible.
Thanks
Grant

Are you by any chance saving as a JPEG or TIFF file?
The image size that Photoshop displays is the uncompressed file size - if you save in a format such as JPEG the image is compressed, which will result in a smaller file size.
Below is a comparison of the same image in Photoshop versus the compressed file saved to my computer:
Here's a more technical explanation of what's going on: http://photo.stackexchange.com/questions/15184/why-does-photoshop-show-my-jpeg-files-unusu ally-large
EDIT: If you want more accurate control over the image file size when saving, try going to File > Save for Web... You'll be able to choose your file format, and then see the resulting file size in the bottom left-hand corner of the window:
I hope this helps!

Spry Photo Gallery Image Size via CSS

Hello!
I´ve been customizing the spry photo gallery for a couple of time, but got my little problem when viewing it on a mobile phone. When you load up the pictures with a size of 450 x 300 px for example, put up the right xml file with it´s width and height, so the gallery shows the pictures in that size. So what I want to do is that you can specify the image size with css depending on the device you´re watching the site with. There is div in the css called "mainImage" where the size is in %. When you change it to 75% for example. The pictures are correctly shown with 75% of it´s original size, but the outline (grey background) is still in 100%. When you make this grey background transparent it´s still there and moves the caption down. I guess there have to be done some changes within the SpryImageViewer.js, but I just know very little things about JavaScript. Do you have any clues how to change this to specify the image size via CSS?
Thank you for your help!!!
Kind regards,
Joerg

I see you are still using Spry 1.5. Have you considered upgrading to
Spry 1.6.1?
Also your XML is broken, if you open up your xml in a normal standards
complaint browser such as firefox, you will see that it doesn't render
a normal tree view as it would do with other xml files. So i suggest
checking those errors out.
Its mainly because you forgot to close your starting tag of the
gallerys node. (<gallery
base = ""
background = "#FFFFFF"
banner = "#F0F0F0"
text = "#000000"
link = "#0000FF"
alink = "#FF0000"
vlink = "#800080"
before your xml starts.

Image size and dimensions in Safari

Is there a fast method of viewing image size and dimentions in Safari? I can open image in new tab and see its width and height in tab/window name. I can save image to the Desktop and see file size but it's not convenient. Is there some another way without opening an saving image somewhere like Control+click -> Properties?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Pat,
You don't need to set the image size as such. The image prints on the page according to two sets of criteria:
1. Whether you set dpi to custom or a specific value, and
2. The page margins you set either as a printing once-off, or as a new printing pre-set.
For example, I print "arty" photos in a portrait format on A4 matte paper. Left and right margins are around 3cm, top margin is around 3cm, bottom margin is around 5 cm (all numbers are from memory...). I have a title just below the image.
I created this particular page setup for a certain photo and liked it so much I saved it as another print preset. Any photo I print using that preset fits within the margins defined. The very next print might be the same photo, but this time printing A3+ on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl. Choose the photo, select the relevant print pre-set, print. Re-sizing is irrelevant - the print in both cases is coming from the processed raw at maximum resolution.

Calx

Recommended image size and dimensions for images displayed on iPad retina?

What are the recommended dpi image size and dimensions for images designed in DPS app as displayed on an iPad retina?

Take a look at the following link:

Where is it possible to batch process the size of images?--I am able to change pixel dimensions in image processor but not image size in inches.

Hi- I need to batch process images for video project. I am able to change the pixel dimensions in the image processor but don't seem to have the option to change image size in inches. Please advise! Thanks

You don't need inches for video (or screen viewing in general). It all goes by pixel count. Inches is for print, nothing else.
But to answer the question, you can run actions in the Image Processor, and this is where you set size in inches. Just bring up Image Size, uncheck "resample image", and specify size. You'll notice resolution changes to reflect the fact that the existing image pixels are now redistributed over the new print size.
But again, screen doesn't care about size or resolution. It only counts pixels.

How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change it

How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change dimensions. I am taking an online class and the Image Size dialog box looks different than the one I am seeing in Photoshop CC. It has the option to change the dimensions.

When you say chage the dimentions, do you mean crop the image and adjust the size of the image at the same time, or do you mean you want to just resize the image? Can you post a screen shot of what you're trying to do?

Photo image size for letterpress card

I'm trying to create a simple card in iPhoto 11 and am having some difficulties.
The various card themes have several layout options. Each option requires a certain size image (or sizes - some layouts are for more than one image).
How am I supposed to know what size of image will fit in each "layout box"?
Am I supposed to just play with the size of the image by resizing a JPG until it fits? Too time consuming - I've tried and I just can't get it to fit. Obviously I missing something simple if this is to be an "easy way to quickly make a card". I cannot find the required image size for the various layouts anywhere, so I'm clearly missing something.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1035 tells me recommended resolutions, but they are too big to fit into a card.
NOTE: I'm not talking about cropping an image or resizing it, which I can do.
I just need to know the size these card layouts require! Where is this information located, or what am I doing wrong?
Am I confusing DPI and pixels and resolution and ....?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Kurt

I'm not clear on whatyou are not clear on
You simply drag photos to the enpty photo frames in the template - there are move and pan controls if you want to change the position of the photo - you can reight click on a photo and select "fit to frame" in most themse if the photo ratios do not match teh frame ratios and yo are losing parts of the photo
the only "resolution" concern you have is that the photos are at least 180 DPI and if they are not you will get a warning
"Note: A yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point in the center may appear if the resolution is too low (below 180 DPI)."
The article you referenced gives Minimum pixel sizes for various uses - if your photo are that size or larger you are fine
The pixel size is shown in teh info window for a photo
