Too big picture

When I open a file the movie is bigger than the frame, if you know what I mean. How do I change that?

What file? What frame?
At the top of the Viewer and Canvas windows there is a button which displays a percentage. Click that button and choose Fit to Window.
If that doesn't fix your problem, we'll need much more info:
What computer?
What OS? What QuickTime?
What version of FCE?
What's the media? Where did it come from? What format, frame rate, etc.?

ITV Catchup TV picture too big

We have two laptops – the first one is an HP and works OK in Firefox for all TV Channels
The second one – an Advent Verona produces the following problem
ITV and Catchup TV viewed in Firefox - the picture is about 4 times too big
BBCi, 4OD and Demand 5 all OK in Firefox with this Advent
ITV and Catchup TV - viewed in Opera - picture OK – size and speed OK
So it seems to be the result of the – Advent laptop - plus Firefox - plus ITV and Catchup TV

I will check out Photoshop Elements 6.0, but I have solved my problem. If, after Sharing a iPhoto 16:9 slideshow with iDVD, opening a new iDVD 16:9 file, creating a slide show, and under media/movies, drag the .mov file to the left, and be sure to select, "scale slide to safe TV area," the resulting disc will play on our 16:9 and show the entire contents of each image. The picture does not fill the TV screen, small black bars all around the picture, but at least all of the image shows. I can live with the black bars. One thing, maybe THE thing, I was doing wrong was I was making a movie in iDVD and not a slide show.
Do you see much difference in the output of FotoMagico2 (FM) during playback on a TV as compared to iDVD? If so, how do you create your .dv files; 16:9 Widescreen, 720p, or 1080p? At the moment, FM cannot work from .mov files, and will not captures iPhoto image captions. This means you have to create a title for each image in FM. Also, unless there is a global way of doing it, you have to zoom each image down inside the dotted line box if you want the entire image to show on your TV. The image does fill the screen, however. I am still comparing.
Thank you for all your help and support.

I am making a book in iPhoto using a double page spread and blank layout. I can't find a way to minimize the picture. it is too big in all the themes. I seems like there must be a way to shrink it not just zoom to make it fit?

Command (right) - click on the photo and select Fit to Frame in the contextual menu:
Not all frames in a theme offer that feature but most do. The spread layout doesn't.

Imported pictures are HUGE. Way too big. How do I reduce JPEG size?

JPEG size imports WAY TOO BIG. How do I reduce JPEG size? Thanks so much@!!

Set your camera to take lower quality pictures is the obvious answer here. You can reduce the size of image already in iPhoto when exporting them.

Sending iphone Pictures in texts which are too big for some Smartphones

When sending pictures in texts there used to be an option of 3 different size formats. Small/Medium/Large. There is only one available now which is too big on some smartphones.
The HTC Wildfire has a restriction of 300kb and a text with picture I tried to send, could not be sent directly to the phone, instead it went to a web address to view. I also tried to share contact details with picture and the file was also too big. I also tried the first picture to another old Nokia without problem.
Can anyone tell me if this is a problem with the latest Apple Software? Will they be fixing it so that we can select the picture size again to allow for picture size restrictions so we can send smaller photos to actually share our pictures.
Anyone know?
Has anyone had the same problem?
Any answers welcome. Many thanks in advance. I hope they sort it quickly.

Thanks again Chris,
I've just tried to see if I could get any more info from the 3gs User Guide and also found some MMS Info on page 325.
It also has some info on adding Photos on page 333
If MMS isn't supported by your carrier, camera image doesn't appear and you can't send photos or videos ... This doesn't count in my case as 02 support this.
Send a Photo or Video: Tap Camera Image. Then tap 'take Photo or Video', or tap 'Choose Existing' and then select an item from a photo album and tap choose.
The size limit of attachments is determined by your carrier. If necessary, iphone may compress the photo or video.
Well this clearly doesn't work for the HTC but I'm still more inclined to think that perhaps the Apple updates have removed the size reduction options. The carrier (02) is able to take the MMS from me but the family member with the HTC who is using the 02 network through Tesco needs investigating why there is a limit to kb's.
I shall look into this and see what I can find out. Perhaps it's a combination of the Apple Software and the Carrier people are using which is causing the Picture problems.

Pictures too big in iphoto!!! ughhh

Ok...so i am a frequent user of myspace...and i like to to put my pictures in there. but ever since i got my mac...(i am also a new user)...i can't put my pics in because they are "too big" all of a sudden. i'm still using the same camera that i used with my old computer(which always let me post pics)...and now i can't. i tried downloading a photo resizer but apparently almost everything i want to download isn't compatible with mac. i've heard so many good things about macs, but ever since i got mine i've just been frustrated. please help.

lynns456,
if you select an image in iPhoto and choose File/Export you should get a requestor that lets you scale your photo down to any size.

My CS3/PS has started to change the cursor into a line of three VERY small icons when dragged over a picture or menu. Thus it is VERY difficult for instance to drag a layer in the layer list to the wastebasket - the cursor simply is too big for the waistebasket icon. Even all other exact work is impossible. Of course I have checked all the cursor presets but nothing seems to help. My OS is Windows7.

Have you tried resetting Preferences?
A logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

Apple TV Picture now too big for the 16/9 screen, wrong resolution ?

Now that I've added a new Samsung Home Theatre system to my new Samsung 46" HDTV, the Apple
TV picture is displaying way too big, cutting off about 1/2 the picture!?! The resolution seems to be set wrong ( 720 ?). The other inputs DVD and DirectTV display OK. I have the TV set for 16x9. It was working fine before I plugged the AppleTV into the new Home Theatre System. I then tried replugging the AppleTV directly into the TV's other HDMI port but the problem still remains.I can't find any way of readjusting the resolution. Any suggestions ?

Problem solved. It's a faulty HDMI port on my TV.
I have been plagued by intermittent random problems with my old Apple TV, especially where there was a blank screen but audio could be heard - solved by a restart. Then today I got the new Apple TV and it displayed as though there was overscan (actually - way more than overscan should cause now that I can see what it SHOULD look like). The final piece of the puzzle was trying to play content purchased previously on iTunes - no HDCP. Finally something pointing to the HDMI connection. I did a bit of troubleshooting - swapping cables, swapping HDMI ports and problem solved. Of the 3 HDMI ports on my TV - when the Apple TV is plugged into port 2 I get this massive overscan and HDCP doesn't work. In ports 1 and 3 it works perfectly. Thankfully the problem with the new Apple TV was consistent enough for me to easily diagnose the problem - unlikely the random nature of the issues I was having with the old Apple TV. Time for a new TV - hurrah! (it's under warranty...)

Iphone 4s update stopped, then the backup was too big!

I was installing the latest update on my fiances iphone 4s. Then it stopped and I got some text saying the update wouldn't go. The phone was then locked with and I was prompted to connect it to itunes. Also hade a message about the simcard not being correct, that disappeared though. Then I had to do a backup and reset the phone. "Ok", fine I'll use the backup I just made - but no! Now the back up was too big! Bit above 14 Gb which I after som googling understand is more than "the basic" package? Anyway, I didn't have any recent backups so now I got the evil eye from my fiance as I write… is this solveable? What happened? Did the update get mixed into the backup thus making it a bigger file? The phone was almost full when I started the update… I do have a backup from september which is abot 12 Gb. Can I use this somehow?

Well, the update was aborted. Can't remember the exact error message and I can't produce it again obviously. But what happened next was that I was prompted to connect it to itunes and restore it, there was this symbol on the screen with a wire going to itunes.
Now it's just telling me there isn't enough space to backup from the one I want. I know what folder it is in, the application, mobile sync, backup. That folder is more than 14 Gb.
I cannot be more specific I'm afraid… But I mean, the info is there, in that folder bigger than 14 Gb. I can access the pictures, look at every one of them… Frustrating…
Haha! That's a good link!
cheers!

720p display resolution is too big for tv

I recently got the kanex hdmi adapter to hook my mbp to my tv. The quality is superb and sound is good as well. However, the picture is slightly too big for my size of television. I had to select the 720p option so that my tv could recognize my computer and therefore, I cannot select any other option if I want my tv to recognize my computer via hdmi. Is there any possible way to still be able to hook my computer with my kanex adapter and still be able to fit the full picture on my tv screen?

Not sure if you fixed this problem but my Sanyo has a Pixel shape button that I accidentally pressed somehow. Somewhere in your T.V. remote or menu should have the same type of button or menu option to change the way your pixels are layed out.
This option will give you a 4x3 option, a 16:9 option and a few 16:9 zoomed variants.
It's probably not in your OS X settings. You have accidentally switched your pixel shapes.

Can a library be too big to share?

I just upgraded to Windows 7 (32 bit) and had to reinstall iTunes (don't know if that is the real issue). My home networked sharing library shows up up however when I select the library to share iTunes thinks for a bit then goes back to the apple icon (like it times out or something). I used to be able to share a library from one computer to another on my home network. I have gone to the computer that has my entire library on it and again I can see my laptop library (which is empty) and seam to be able to access it. Can a library be too big to share?

Hi
Not really understanding - but anyway
.swf - have no idea what that is
.mov - Is NO Video-Codec - but a Container (sort of folder) and can hold Video-Codecs that iMovie can use or not.
Open the .mov - with QuickTime-player (as it can open so many more)
open Inspector [cmd+I] and read
Video Format (Codec) : nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Frames per second : YY.yy
WHAT does they read ?
iMovie has one very bad thing going - It tries to open Video-Codecs that it really can not use - so all kind of strange behaviors can occur. No Sound / Only Sound no picture etc.
So knowing the true Video-Codec IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Too big panel on a scrollpane

hello!
i create a panel with several small panels on it, so it is too big to display in my window. therefore i want to have it a scrollpane. this way:
JPanel jp = new JPanel();
        jp.setLayout(new BoxLayout(jp,BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
        for(int p=1;p<12;p++){
         posten rlist1 = new posten(p); // "posten" is a small panel
         jp.add(rlist1);
        JScrollPane sp =new JScrollPane();
        sp.setViewportView(jp);
        jPanel10.add(sp);jpanel10 has the scrolls on it, to scroll jp.. but the panel jp which is too big, laps over at top and bottom.
hard to explain perhaps, here is a picture:
http://www.cds-server.de/pub/jpanel.jpg
what can i do to make it hide the too big parts?

ok, it took me the hole day to find out that to reproduce this behavior it is necessary
to have the underlaying panel with "free design",
the next panel is with boxlayout . and there is the mess.
therefore the code is not very short, more long, sorry for that,

Scanned doc now too big for print

Hi,
I have scanned this sheet and modified it, now i need to print it back but photoshop says its too big for print.
Indeed it just printed a portion of it.
Can someone with experience of this kind of issue explain me the technicalities and what should i do?
I know photoshop only when it comes to chop pictures, put loads of filters and make them jolly, i am not into stuffs like scan/sizing/printing, etc., so please don't explain to go down to the basic basics in your explanation.
Thanks

Well, when you say "Manufacturer's software" I assume you mean the scanner's software and NOT Photoshop. It is best to scan directly into Photoshop by using the menu File>Acquire Image>[select your scanner source--either the scanner name or TWAIN driver]. When this is chosen your scanner's driver will launch a "plug-in" software interface that will allow you to scan the document and set a marquee around what you want to scan and also choose the resolution. After that you will be able to save the document -- give it a unique name like "file.psd" -- and then make changes -- again give it a unique name like "file_edited.psd". The document measurements you gave us seem to fit within the bounds of a United States (US) Letter size document which is 8.5 inches x 11 inches. If your printer has the ability to print borderless documents you should be able to print this document without a problem with a resolution of 300dpi. It is possible that it would not be able to if there is not enough memory on your printer and that is why you get the error message. (But as a JPG image the file size will be compressed, so I'm not really sure why your document would be too large.)

Photos too big for desktop

I could always just choose a photo to use as a desktop and it would work fine. Now they all seem to display at full resolution meaning that I only get a small segment of the picture. I have tried cropping to the display dimensions but it is still too big. What can I do? This is on my Macbook 2.16.
Andy

Hi,
I think what you need to do is bring your image into Photoshop. Select > Image Size > Choose 72 PPI which is a good size for the internet. Now go to File> Save For Web. In there it will give you options on how to optimize your image for the web. Just save it as a Jpeg if you want and then import into Flash library.
Hope this helps!

Scaled a movie, after pics are too big.

I've created a Slideshow and resized my pictures to suit the width of the timeline (1080W x 720H). Was hoping just to drag them onto new item and automatically scale the pics but this resulted in a black line along the widths; which displeased me.
So my pics are fantastic and the Slideshow is to the beat of the music. I then added a video to the timeline, and I had to scale accordingly.
So I managed to get the video fixed and everything's running great up until the video ends. I then import my new pics and they are far too big.
I have a keyframe right at the end of the movie, but the pics are then far too big.
I'm missing something really small. I am of course able to scale the remaining images down, but I have quite a few more to bring in and would rather learn what's causing this beast?
I finished my previous video, incase you guys have any comments or suggestions to improve

It's kind of a tedious workaround, especially if I have to go through that for 8 tracks x 30 songs.
while i agree it would be a nice feature, you have to remember, you're re-purposing GB, your use is not the one for which it was designed; one song per project.
you can always send Apple a feature request with the Feedback menuItem (under the GaageBand menu) to let them know
