Store photo in original size

Everytime I sync photos from iTunes to iPhone 3Gs 32Gb, all the photos are magically "Optimized" to a lower quality.
Is there anyway to disable this optimization? I want to zoom my photos in great details, but photos become blurred after being optimized. I did try emailing the photos and saved them. It worked, but then I can't move / save them in separate folders.
One other annoying thing is after syncing, photos are not all arranged in alphabetical order nor by date. Sometimes few photos are missing / not appear in iPhone, but still appears in iPhoto. This usually happens when I have more than 500 photos in one folder. I could separate or limit number of photos in each folder, but is this the only way out? I also have already tried unchecking manually sync picture in iTunes and re checking it again, but all it does just keep rearranging photos in different order.
Please help.

I indicated this with my previous post. Having less than 500 photos in an album does not solve the problem, but if you didn't have an iPhone, would you have over 500 photos in an iPhoto album (it is a photo album afterall) or anywhere close to it?
The iPhone is not designed or intended to be a backup storage device or as an external flash drive for storing or transferring data from one computer to another. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced.
What is the iPhone designed for anyway?
I'll provide this with how the iPhone was described by Steve Jobs when first introduced. The iPhone is a phone, an iPod, and an internet device. Most iPods support disk mode. The iPhone does not. The name is i - Phone - being a phone first and foremost that also includes an iPod and internet access, not i - Portable Storage Device.

  • How to save photos in original size with iPhoto?

    I import my DSLM pictures (4000x3000) per camera connection kit to iPad. I would like to edit the pictures (in Photo Stream) with Photos and iPhotos, but both apps automatically reduce the picture size  to my iPad resolution when saving - which is
    not so brilliant. Now the manual says that this should happen in original size (!). So, please tell me how to do thsi?

    DPI - Dots Per Inch - is meaningless for digital photos until you print them. Then to have a 300 dpi photo you need 300 dots (pixels) per inch of printed photo - so a photo to be printed at 1" x 1" needs to be 300 pixels x 300 pixels - one to be printed at 4" x 6" needs to be 1200 pixels x 1800 pixels -- once to be printed at 20" x 30" needs to be 6000 pixels x 9000 pixels.
    See The Myth of DPI for additional information.

  • Exporting photos at original size

    How do I export photos and keep their original size. I do not have the Image Sizing checked but it seems to be resizing my photos anyway. It seems to have started this evening. I exported files fine at file sizes of ex: 5387 kb the original size. Not they are exporting at ex: 478 kb. Can't figure out what the problem is. I contacted Adobe and Tech Support is not in until Monday. Ugh

    There are a number of different variables for saving a JPG, or a TIFF, which alter both the file size and (in the case of JPG) the specific picture quality which will survive the save.
    Lightroom's JPG quality setting does not correspond exactly with what the JPG choices available (e.g.) inside the camera, were doing. The chances of exporting an identical filesize are remote, for JPG. And smaller is not necessarily worse in practice, since one has to consider the efficiency as well as the degree of information loss, of the differently packaged picture.
    Also, editing changes made in Lightroom can affect the saved file size that you get when you Export.
    If the image has been cropped smaller within LR - whether to a changed aspect ratio, for composition / subject reasons, as a byproduct of perspective adjustment etc, merely straighteniong a horizon, or some combination of those - then there is less picture extent being saved  - quite aside from the saving format.
    Next, the fine detail present in the image affects the efficiency of compression. A "smooth" image area compresses a lot at a given quality setting (small file), while a "busy" image area compresses less at the same quality setting (big file). So changing contrast, sharpening, blurring with negative Clarity, adding a film-grain effect, vignetting, all kinds of changes to the seen picture may make a difference, because you are in effect... saving different picture content.

  • Aperture Photo JPEG Export Size

    I have a question regarding the file sizes of photos exported from Aperture. When exported the photos seem to be almost double the file size of the original photo imported to aperture and the size shown in Aperture. For example, I have a photo that is 2736x3648 sized at 3.51MB in Aperture. I export with JPEG set to original size, JPEG quality is set to 12. The resulting file size exported is 7.1MB. The resolution of the exported photo is also 2736x3648 so I don't think it's a DPI issue. I've done some experimentation with the JPEG quality and the results are still strange. 10 gives me a 2.2MB file, 11 gives me a 2.6MB file and 12 as mentioned previously is 7.1MB. Seems like a huge jump so I suspect I'm missing something. The other sizes being smaller than the original also seems strange.
    I've looked at the exported photos at 10,11&12 and can clearly see the detail lost. The darker parts get darker and drop the detail in the photo. I'm very reluctant to lose quality so ideally would go with 12.
    I know there are a few questions like this on here already but none of them seem to have a good answer. Just wondering if anyone has figured it out?
    Thanks in advance.

    Terence, you've helped me on a lot of things, so I guess I am going to further ask for clarification....
    I have recently been trying to use Aperture solely (and pretty much abandon iPhoto.).  But, when I say export a file to jpeg (whether it is currently a RAW or JPEG file, I am concerned about my settings--  by default, the setting "export jpeg in original size" has settings as 72 dpi.  I have changed that to 300dpi.  Is this why I have 15-20MB files?  Is this the correct setting?  I don't want any printer to have a false representation of how much data is there.  Nor do I want to lose any data either.
    I could theoretically take any photo and probably even say 4500dpi, and the file would be exaggerated that much more.  I go to print, and the print center sees there is plenty of resolution there, but in reality, there is no more data there than the extent to which the file provided.  You can't create resolution that is going to improve on what your camera or the minor adjustments you do to it to improve it.  I say export it at whatever maximum dpi it has or multiply that dpi by 100, and no matter what, the image is going to print the same no matter how much data (or how large the box is).
    Also, if I open my library in iPhoto and tell it to export the photo at original size, the file is smaller than the file exported via Aperture (thus my concern I am providing more detail than what is really there) and providing an exagerrated resolution.  Your help is greatly appreciated.  I am providing a disk to someone, and this is affecting whether I give them one or two disks due to the file sizes.  (And, of course, as is, the file sizes are harder to work with if you want to email.  So, if they don't have an email program that auto-condenses, they may be frustrated not having smaller files if they choose to email any.)
    Thanks in advance!

  • The reason photos need to be able to go back to the iPhone in original size

    I have been looking around to try and find a way to get photos that have been pulled from the iPhone then resynced up to the iPhone to retain their original size, but it appears that there's no workaround for this. That is a very big problem for me. I'm an iPhone photographer and I've taken nearly 4000 photos on my phone. Every week or two I'll resync up my phone to the PC, dump the images to the PC then re-sync them up to the phone organized into folders by date. So far so good.
    The problem comes when I need to go back and re-edit some of those photographs. I no longer have access to the original sized images on my phone, and my photography work requires that all editing is done exclusively on the iPhone, but I need to maintain the maximum possible resolution on those images. Unfortunately once I sync the photos, I can no longer go back and re-edit them in their full resolution. I'm forced to deal with small images now that do not meet my resolution requirements.
    I can understand resizing the images to a size that's more practical for display on the iPhone since under normal circumstances there's no reason to have a 1600x1200 image on a phone that can only display 480x320. But this is really a serious issue for me as I don't have them on there simply for viewing, but I have them there for editing and manipulating. With the advent of the App Store, and all the Photography apps that are on the market, the iPhone is actually a very powerful tool for artistic expression and to have it forceably limited to a low-resolution import really is absurd.
    This may not be an issue for the majority of iPhone users, but for me it is critical. The resizing of photographs needs to be an OPTION, not a REQUIREMENT so that people like me can utilize the iPhone to its maximum potential. This limitation takes it, in my view, from being a serious tool, to a casual toy.
    My only other option is to not sync the photos up to the PC (aside from simply copying them over as a backup and leaving them on the phone) and have an un-organized camera roll of 3-4000 photos. This simply isn't very practical.
    Thank you, and I'd like to hear your comments on this. (Actually, I'd like to see Apple fix this in their next update...)

    I thought that originally too, but that's all changed with the pool of apps that are out there now. So now what I'm trying to do is to prove that technology is progressing to the point where a tiny, handheld phone can produce images that are nearly as good as photos taken with much more expensive and bulky equipment. I've got my share of expensive bulky camera equipment, but I'm finding that I'm having much more enjoyment out of using my iPhone from initial capture, to editing, to publishing, and achieving results that are nearly as good.
    I do think you're working under a bit of a handicap. For example, lens quality. Here's an iPhone photo example of some wild turkeys in the neighborhood masked by flare that would be much better controlled on an SLR lens (click to enlarge - the flare is obvious, the turkeys are not):
    At the same time, working under a handicap can definitely spur creativity, similar to the oft-cited example of swapping out your zoom lens for a prime to force yourself to pay attention to composition.
    It's an interesting concept - I wish you luck!

  • Emailing Photos not at Full and Original Size? Why...

    Am trying to send photos to friends and family but the photo quality and size gets reduced by soooo much.
    An iphone gives an option if I want to send the photo at compressed size or original size.
    Why does the Windows 8 Nokia 920 compress photos and how can you turn it off?
    Uploading pictures on usb to computer and then emailing photos from computer to someone is a bit of hassle considering Phones can skip and send photos themselves.

    I believe that the natural limit for the MMS standard (1.2 or 1.3) that most phones have in use these days is 600KB, so if you are sending it directly then it will downscale the image to the smaller size in order to comply with the data size limit. If you are using SkyDrive app on your 920, there are Settings for photo upload and photo download sizes.
    For now, there is not much that can be done except upload it to SkyDrive and send people a link to that file...which can be cumbersome I know. Reasons for compressing it may be to lessen the load on data plans that users have.
    Anyways, as this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services, and what you are asking about refers to core WP8 behaviour, you are always welcome to leave suggestions for them at: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com

  • When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data.  I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail.  This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

    When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels.  The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size.  Anyone know why or how to correct this?

    Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview.  Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
    Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
    Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.

  • Selected photos come forward but do not always enlarge.  In fact, sometimes they get smaller like thumbnails.  Original size of scanned photos does not seem to matter.

    when I select photos, they always come forward but they do not always enlarge.  In fact, sometimes they get much smaller.   The original size of the scanned photos does not seem make a difference.  Why is this now happening?

    to check the pixel size of the photo you select the photo in iPhoto and click on teh info button
    as to scanning directly into iPhoto - that is not possible - iPhoto does not support scanning - you can only scan and then imported the scanned photos into iPhoto - what parameters are you scanning with?
    You might try scanning to disk adn then importing into iPhoto from disk so you can see the steps more clearly

  • Can I use iCloud to store photos I want to delete from my iPhone 5s?

    Good day.
    I want to free up space on my 16G iPhone 5s.  All of my photos are stored on iCloud, however, when I delete a photo from my iPhone 5s, it also deletes in iCloud.  Is there a way to use iCloud as a way to store photos that I don't want on my iPhone any longer, but I want to save?
    Note:  The photos on my iPhone 5s are all on iPhoto on my iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.  I have not opened the "photos" app which appeared on the doc when the system upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 as I'm not sure how this will affect the whole "delete from my iPhone, but keep in iCloud" dilemma. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    C. Gray

    iCloud isn't designed as a cloud-only storage method. The closest you can get is to change a setting to optimize storage on your iPhone so that a smaller "device-size version" is kept on your phone. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
    iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
    In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
    In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
    If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

  • Photos: optimum file size for storage

    I have a few questions about what is the best way to manage my photos.
    Do I need to put my photos into my iTunes library before I can get them onto my ipod? There is no category called photos, so I'm not quite sure where they will go.
    Will the file size be compressed before synching it to the ipod so that only the pixels required for the small screen resolution will be kept, or will photos remain in their full original size, limiting how many I can store?
    If it goes on as the full original file,
    a) will I be able to connect my ipod to photo kiosks to get prints?
    b) what are the minimum dimensions and dpi that will show nicely on the screen so I can manually convert them myself before adding to my library?
    I also have a question about album art. I've been able to set my own personal art (eg. family photos) to albums, but I'm not sure if it works for individual songs. As I understand it, these images are compressed and made part of the ID3 tags. Does this take up a significant portion of available memory?

    You don't add your photos to iTunes at all, it does not actually show them in iTunes like it does music.
    You can't prepare for the photos transfer before you get the iPod as you will only see the photo setting once the iPod is connected.
    Once the iPod is connected there is a new tab in iTunes that lets you select the photos you wan to put on the iPod, basically it lets you select a folder.
    I suggest you read the manual here, it explains it all :-

    Ian
    Thanks. I didn't realize there was no way to prepare the photos, because it's certainly taken me a long time to prepare the music.
    I've been reading the manual, and it does not explain those questions I asked.
    +If you’ve set up photo syncing, iTunes automatically copies or updates your photo library (or selected albums) from your computer to iPod touch whenever you connect iPod touch to your computer. iTunes can sync your photos from the following applications:+
    +Â On a PC: Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0+
    +or later+
    +For information about syncing iPod touch with photos and other information on your computer, see “Getting Music, Videos, and Other Content onto iPod touch” on page 5.+
    +(Page 7)+
    +You can sync photos from Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync photos from any folder on your computer that contains images.+
    It doesn't explain how it's done. How will I tell it which file to grab the photos from? There are four different locations where I am storing photos, and I only want to use one. It also does not mention whether the photos will remain in original format and whether they'll be readable at photo kiosks.
    I hope that when I get the ipod it will be more clear.
    Thanks for you help.
    Any other advice?

  • Store photos

    what is the best way to store photos with my mac and the iphoto program. I find it very difficult to acess my photos on the storage device where I backed them up.  I have a MacBook Pro and a WD 1TB storage.
    ThThanks,
    Helene

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • 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.

    The same question was posted with a solution to send the photo to your e-mail account. The does not resolve my problem. I should be able to access the original size and resolution here, online, in my account.

    You should be able to sign in to your account with Adobe to retrieve the serial number.  Then download version 7 from here:

    Worst case option:
    Download the trial version of Photoshop Elements 13:

  • Is it possible to adjust the photo angle and size in Snapshots theme

    Hi
    I'm new to aperture and am having a few frustrated-hair-pulling issues with the Snapshots theme. I was using iPhoto to create a Photobook of my son's first year and found it to be too limited for what I want to create. I came across Aperture and was wow'ed by the description saying I could rotate and resize photos, add text boxes etc. This was just what I was after so I downloaded the free trial to test it. I like the snapshots theme the best for the idea of it looking more "homemade" but seem to be unable to adjust the photo angle and size from the given templates. Also I find that the border in adding new photos (which I can adjust the size and rotation of) is without the custom shadow effect that the template ones have. Duplicating the template photo only gives one with the shadow effect but also of the same size with the same rotation that I can't do anything with! Rrrrghhhh
    I thought this would be a great way to customize the album I'm making for my little boy, and that it wouldn't be too hard! My mac skills are considerable, but I'm by no means an expert! Is this program too much for a non-pro-creative-housewife with a wish that may be solveable in iPhoto afterall?
    Or am I just missing something? Is there a way to do this or shall I just give up and choose another theme?
    Any recommendations are welcome! Please!!! My scalp is now officially sore!

    Here's the solution I used to solve the same problem. If you're not comfortable editing the source files, this might be more than you want to take on--but I've done it to several files with no ill effects. You can follow the instructions on this page and the referenced original post from (he includes a link on the page). Good luck! He's got some great tips on some of his other pages.
    http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/03/15/aperture-3-book-theme-trick/
    A warning about editing the Master pages--it only edits them in that book--it doesn't update the theme. So if you go to create another book with those same layouts, you'll have to duplicate the book and replace all the images. An alternative would be to create a "clean" book with no photos in it and then just use that as a starting point each time.
