Unmasking photos in iWeb

When posting pictures into my iWeb blog, I have never had problems inserting photos from iPhoto. However, when I tried to insert a PDF of a Quark file (composite pictures) into my blog it was a little more difficult. I would play around trying to grab the right handles before I was successful. Then I discovered the menu command for unmasking a picture and it was quite simple. Now that I've upgraded to iLife '08, I'm having problems again. Using straight iPhoto pictures still works fine. However, I can no longer unmask PDF photos. I am left with the top and bottom of my picture cut off and I can't even move the picture by hand anymore. It's frozen. I no longer see an unmask command, just several masking commands that are grayed out. Any ideas on how I can manipulate my picture?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you only want to display square photos you'll have to crop them square before adding to the photo page. The default size for the slideshow and gallery images is 800 pixels x 600 pixels. We can't change that.
You can publish the site to the Desktop and open it locally with your browser to preview. Just click on the site's icon in the left hand pane in iWeb and change Publish to from MobileMe to Folder.

How can you Copyright your photos in iWeb

Does anyone know how to copyright your photos in iWeb so that others can download your images and claim them as their own?? thanks

Press: Option+"G" and you will have this "©" after it put your name as:
©Fito Pardo 2007
In photoshop or a program like this put your copyright notice on top of your photos like I did it:
http://www.cinematograf.com/Links/Clientes/Pages/Belinda.html
If you like no one to download your pictures I recomend to you to put your images like here:
http://www.cinematograf.com/Media/StillPortfolio/StillPortfolio.html
So is more dificult for others to use them as their own as this pictures are in way less resolution than prints and is very difficult to use video images on a catalog, it look like crap.
And there is another way
Put your images like I did in video, then place a box layer on top of the video and make that box transparent:
Under the "Inspector" window, go to "Graphic", then go to "Opacity" and make the square "0%", make shure is on top of your whole video so no one can download your video.
This is actually the best way, but then again if you don't put a copyright notice like the "Belinda" pictures I did (she is a Latin Pop Star, That is why I put that copyright notice on top of every shot, there is a lot of fans who like to have some of those pictures) you will still have to worry about:
"Shift" + "Command" (Or Apple) + "4"
That one is the command to copy what ever you want on the screen
I hope this works for you

How do I Add Music to the Slideshow in photos in Iweb

How do I add a song from my itunes library to play while viewing the slideshow portion of my photos in Iweb'09? I have tried this numerous times throughout the day today but am getting nowhere.
Also, can I add a video portion of the Letterman Top Ten list to a page in my Iweb?
Thanks

That's not an option with iWeb. You can add a song to the photos page that will play automatically (and loop if desired) that would continue to play when the viewer clicks on the slideshow button. This demo page has such a setup.
I don't remember if Cyclosaurus (our resident javascript expert) had posted a solution via javascript and an HTML snippet. You might search the entire iWeb forums for posts by Cyclosaurus with a topic of slideshow music or something similar.

Publication of photos from iweb to mobile me produce an error

I am no longer able to publish photos from iweb to my mobile me site
The process starts well; but some minutes after, it stops at a file (not always the same) as if the time was up or the size too large (I have plenty of room in Mobile me).
It has worked some months ago for the first set of photos ...
thanks for you help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password. This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if you can publish.
If that doesn't help:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

Photos on iWeb (closer looks)

Hello!
How do you set up photos on iWeb so that when they are published, you can click on them and they open a separate window and show you a close up?
Thanks!
bg

bg:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. They do that already. Publish them to a photos page and when published and clicked on they will open in a larger window with a tray of thumbnails across the top. The slideshow also opens up to a larger size that can be paused to view more at leisure. Here's an example.
To get larger images that what's there you would have to upload a larger version, pixel wise, and then do a text link to each. That's not a good alternative. There may be other 3rd party slidehshow java file add on packages for the slideshow that might produce a larger size.
NOTE: Didn't notice you were using iWeb 1 so the example I gave is from iWeb 2.

How do I control the size of my photos in iWeb?

Hello
I wish to ask if it is possible to control the size of a photo in iWeb when publishing photos.
What I want is that people can press on any photo in my collection and see it in high resolution. But at the moment it is messing with my photos. Some come up tiny regardless of them being a 4MB Pixel shot, and most of them if not all of them are restricted to one size...
Thank you...

iWeb resizes photos in the following cases -
When using the of the photograph templates where you drag and drop your pictures:
1) Size is capped at 800px x 800px for the slide
2) Files are compressed, usually ~120KB\
3) New thumbs are created (the small image you click on); those tend to be 35-45KB.
If you add a shadow, reflect or graphic option - odds are iWeb will convert your JPEG into a PNG and file size mushrooms. I've been created very compact banners, but due to PNG coversion the size has gone up by 6-8x...
I have NOT looked into just adding a photo to page and seeing what happens to the file size. Most of my tug of war has been with slide show and trying to understand why the 300-500KB files I was using were looking so bad. Now that I know iWeb is doing, I can sort of work around it.
It doesn't mean I'm happy. I'm going to add a gallery page with my favorites, format for roughly 1000x800 and keep the file size around 400 KB. I do all the file resizing in Photoshop CS2.
To put all this in perspective, i have around 325 picture uploaded - most were resized to 450 KB for the web. That 146 MB just for pictures. Add another 10 MB for web content, etc. I thought ~160MB should be used up on the iDisk. Due to iWeb's compression, usage is only 70 MB for this site.

Cannot see Aperture 3 photos in iWeb

I have a huge problem... I am a photographer and am constantly updating my website, however, I cannot see my Aperture 3 photos in iWeb (the folders that I have created over the past few months don't show up at all). I have had to transfer photos from Aperture 3 to my iPhoto library in order to use them in iWeb, which is such a waste of time (and space). Can someone please assist???

If you have not found any problems using DiskUtility, I would suggest that you might try deleting your Aperture preferences file (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945) then re-open Aperture and set your preferences up again. That may resolve the iWeb issue as well as your Export difficulties.
Let us know what happens.
Cheers!

White specs on photos in iWeb

Upload and posted photos to iWeb and everything looks fine when viewing my site using Firefox, IE and Safari.
The problem is that other people are seeing WHITE SPECS all over the images. Does anyone know what I can to do fix this?
Internet Explorer to view the photos. Don't know what version they are running or if it matters.
Thank you!

I've seen this and it's really strange. It's some funky way that some versions of IE displays some .jpg's. I didn't see a resolution to the problem, though.

Downsize photos in iWeb?

I'm a newbie to iPhoto and iWeb. I've been importing my photos into iPhoto and then those that I want on my website I export to iWeb, or sometimes drag/drop. I've never downsized anything. Recently I read a post that this is a MUST because iWeb uploads full resolution. Now I'm worried. I checked one of my photos... Original resolution according to the info in iPhoto is 2048 x 1536 at 870 KB. The files exported from iWeb for that photo are 256 x 192 at 24 KB and 800 x 600 at 120 KB. It seems to me that iWeb is downsizing them.
I have photoshop but was really trying improve my workflow and was hoping to eliminate this step. Before I got iPhoto and iWeb I manually resized every photo for each thumbnail and each slide image. TEDIOUS.
Do I need to downsize my images or is iWeb doing it?

dzinemkr,
It's true that iWeb will upload the original file that you drag and drop into iWeb as well as the resized images. If you want to see what images are getting uploaded by iWeb, you can do a "Publish to Folder" on your local desktop. Then open up the site folder and peek inside a folder called "Images". It is possible that you will find high resolution originals of your photos here. If they are here in this folder, then you can be sure then are being uploaded when you use "Publish to .mac" as well.
What you should do is decide (approximately if not exactly) what maximum resolution you will want your photos to be used in your iWeb pages. If you are using the Apple slideshow, then that resolution is 800x600. Then export from iPhoto using this maximum resolution and drag the resulting downscaled photos into iWeb. This ensures that the largest image iWeb will ever upload will be the 800x600 image....and the original 2048x1536 image never passes through iWeb's fingers to be uploaded as the original image.
iWeb will do some element of downscaling for things like thumbnails and such. But just limit the maximum usable resolution of your files....if you are just posting photos on a page where none of the photos will be more than 300x400....then scale all your photos in iPhoto to 300x400 and use these instead of dropping the original 2048x1536 image for iWeb to downscale for you. Does this make sense? Not only will this protect your high resolution photos from becoming available for the taking (check out your RSS feed), but it will also decrease your overall site size, site uploading times, and page downloading speeds.
If you have found any of this information to be useful to you, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!

Photos for iWeb: do they need to be sized, or does the program do that?

I have a number of fairly large files that i want to use in a little website I'm making in iWeb.Do I need to rez down, sharpen, etc? Or can I just import?

It can help to resize/optimize before adding to iWeb. It all depends on how many and how big the overall site is. For my photo pages with around 60 photos I just let iWeb do it's thing.
If you have a lot of photos you can batch resize/optimize them with an application like Resize!. With it you can set the pixel dimensions you want and the amount of jpeg compression (Quality). Since Resize! creates new files in a new folder you can experiment with quality levels until you get the smallest size possible that still meets your visual quality requirements.
Before you add those photos to iWeb turn off iWebs optimizing so that they get added just as you created them. If you add them to a photo page iWeb resizes to 800 x 600 so use those dimensions for your resizing. If you add a photo to a page iWeb always changes its size a bit and adds a stroke to it. You can remove the stroke and get it to the size you created via the Inspector/Graphic pane (for the stroke) and the Inspector/Metrics pane (for the size).

I want to add an album to iWeb from a folder on my desktop but I do not want to first add it to iPhoto, is there a way I can add a photo to iWeb without it being from iPhoto?

I want to add an album to iWeb from a folder on my desktop but I do not want to first add it to iPhoto, is there a way I can add a photo to iWeb without it being from iPhoto?

Yes. You want to add photos from a folder on the desktop to an existing iWeb album page? Just bring up the page in iWeb and drag the photo into the group of thumbnails that are displayed on the page and move it to where you want it locate

Photos and iweb

Hello
I use iweb for my website and with the migration from Iphoto to Photos, i can't acces anymore to my pictures in Photos in Iweb !!! Do you have a good idea to integrate Photos in Iweb.
Thanks for your help
Best regards
Denis

Not so.
iWeb has actually been around since the first edition came out in 2006 and it started with iWeb 06, then iWeb 08 and finally iWeb 09.
It was primarily designed to go with dot Mac and then MobileMe, which were accounts that enabled you to publish websites. Unfortunately, after this things seemed to be cloud based, which is why Apple developed iCloud, but they decided not to offer web hosting, hence why both dot Mac and MobileMe disappeared and there was then no need for iWeb because iCloud does not offer web hosting and there are lots of companies out there that do offer this and as Apple are primarily a company that sells products - computers and phones etc., they decided to leave the software to other than know better, which is why it became unsupported and they do not sell it any longer and why iWeb has not been updated for the last six years.
It is time to move onto other products which are better and up-to-date. There are lots out there and Rage Software has developed EverWeb. Take a look. It is very like iWeb in look and feel and you can do lots more things from inside the application, that you could not do in iWeb.
As far as Flip For Mac goes, you may just have to wait a while whilst Flip catches up with the new OS and it will become compatible eventually. Things just need time to catch up.
You have come to Macs late, so it is time to move on from iWeb and use other software that is supported and will work. There is plenty of it out there and you just have to look around and take a look at EverWeb - I have provided a link for you.

Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos on iweb?

Re: protecting photos when using iweb as your web designer...
Is there any way to disable right click and drag and drop for photos using iweb? I have seen tutorials about creating a text box around each image - but is there a better way?

However, there is no way you can prevent someone from making a screenshot of the image as it is displayed on the screen no matter what application you use to create the web page.
You can add a watermark to dissuade the casual "thief" but those who are serious about stealing the photo for their own use can remove the watermark with some effort.

Problem with photos in iWeb

When I import a photo into my iWeb page, it does not scroll with the text, it stays at the same place on the page. Every time I add more text, I have to move the photos. When I select the text it does not select the photo as well. When I upload the page, the photo is not always in exactly the same place as in iWeb, usually a couple of lines different. I've googled the problem and searched the forum but can't find an answer.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Select the photo and type Command+X to copy/delete it. Next, put your cursor in the text box, make sure you have the text cursor showing as if you were about to insert text,
and paste the photo. Then go to the Inspector/Text/Wrap pane and select the type of text wrap you want.
The photo will now scroll with the text as you add new text.

Downloading photos from iweb to iphoto

I thought I had lost an album of photos but have found that I uploaded them to iWeb, which I no longer use.
Is there any way to download them to iPhoto other than one at a time?
Thanks

Two options.
One
If you still have the domain file iWeb uses to store its assets, then find it, right-click and choose Show package content from the menu.
A folder opens and your original images are there.
The domain file is here :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb
where ~ is your Home directory.
Two
Depending where you publish, either mount your iDisk (MobileMe) and navigate to the Web > Sites folder.
Or
When you publish elsewhere, connect to that server.
Browse your Site to find the images. Note that these are not the originals you dropped on the iWeb page.
