Vertical Photos are cropped

I am trying to prepare my first digital presentation using Keynote and I have sized the photos to 1000 pixels on the long side. When reviewing my slides, the horizontal images look great, but the vertical are cropped at the top and bottom (almost a square) How do I fit the verticals into the presentation?
Thanks in advance!

Hi J-Paul,
click on the image and see if it is masked, even if you did not apply the mask yourself if it is a place holder it is a mask of sorts. When clicking on the image if the image is masked a little semi-transparent menu appears on or near the image that controls the size of the image you can also move the photo around in the mask.
I hope that is it because there is no other vertical control as you describe in the other application.
You may also try to add a slide with a vertical photo already planned in and move your picture there, arrange it the way you want and see if it works. A cut and past would quickly solve the problem.

Photos are cropped after being shared from Photos App

So, I wanted to share Photos from my Photos App using iCloud shared albums. I have iCloud Photo Library enabled.
All the photos I want to share are perfectly uploaded to iCloud, as I checked them on my iPhone.
But when I created the shared album, some of the photos are cropped! The lower part is just plain white.
Some of them are missing 30%, others are missing 90%. Some are even all white. This is the case for every device I access the shared album from.
But the originals are still complete and not cropped (When I access them via "Moments" for example). That is on every device!
No matter where I access
I noticed, that when I shared the photos, the Hard drive of my iMac began to show heavy activity.
I imagine there should be no HD activity, since all my photos are in the cloud already. So when I want to share photos from my iCloud photo library, all the Photos App has to do is send the list of those photos I want to share to the iCloud servers. Not the entire (or corpped) photo.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Must crop all pictures, or choose to print with borders.

Photos are cropped when going to print

Photos display properly when viewing but when any sort of print routine is initiated the image is seriously cropped, usually left and right sides. Trying to set print parameters, no border, etc., images are still always cropped.

Make sure the aspect ration (length to breadth) of the photo matches the aspect ratio you've chosen for printing.
In other words, if you're printing 5 x 7 make sure that the photo is cropped to that ratio, not 4:3 like many digital cameras produce.

Photos are cropped after printed

Hello - my question is concerning sending pictures to be printed at a photo place (Wallgreens, CVS, Target etc.). I want to print 4x6 pictures, and I realize now that the aspect ratios are different from what I took the pictures in.
Therefore what is the fix for this? What is happening is the photo place automatically crops the top (and bottom?) and is cutting off the tops of heads.
So should I crop all my photos first? If so, do I crop them to 4x6 or 4x3? I'm slightly confused.
Please help - I just ordered iPhoto 6, so if there is an easier way in that program, you can let me know too.
Thank you

Photos Are Cropped

I am attempting to print very old photos which I scanned. When I attempt to print the photo, Iphoto is cropping the photo regardless of the paper size or photo size selected. A few of the photos were taken in the late 1800s and contain interesting information at the bottom of the photo which I don't want to lose. But iphoto crops the photo and I lose the information. In other cases where the photo is rectangular iphoto is deleting portions and I am losing "individuals". I'm not computer savey so I would really appreciate assistance with this issue. Did I not scan the photo properly or is this an iphoto printing issue. Thank you.

Although right-clicking on a photo when customizing does let you fit to frame, you'd have to do it to each photo individually. My solution is to create a custom print size to better fit the 4:3 ratio that point and shoot cameras use. In your case you'd have to see what ratio fits your pictures.
Here are the steps:
- Select the photos to print
- Select Print from the File menu
- Next to Print Size select Custom
- In the Custom Print Size dialog box enter 5.33 for the width and 4 for the height (in case you're printing to 4x6 sheets).
This will automatically add the white space to each photo so it prints completely.

Vertical Photos in Book

I am attempting to create a book with a lot of vertical photos. The layout pages are almost all for horizontal photos and the vertical photos are not properly proportioned. Are there pages I'm missing with more layouts for vertical photos or is there a way of making my own layout pages, other than blank.

Liz Castro has produced samples of all of the layouts for all of the themes for iPhoto books making it easy to scan the possibilities -- http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/
Note that in some layouts when you place a portrait photo in a landscape frame the frame switches orientation and in some it just crops the photo - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.OriginalOrientation
If you photos are not standard point and shoot photos in a 4:3 ratio they will be cropped since all of the book frames are 4:3 - you can right click on a photo and choose fit to frame to avoid cropping
there is not currently any way to customize pages in iPhoto -- you can generate pages in MS Word, pages, pagermaker, InDesign, etc and do a print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option to create a custom page - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 for details - http://toadstutorials.info/

TS3989 Photos are ok in aperture and iphoto but in photostream on ipad and iphone the top of all portrait photos is chopped off. I tried switching photostream off and on but got the same. Only happened with photos added today, all past photos are fine

I have never had any problems before but all portrait photos added today have the top chopped off. For example , people's heads are missing or roofs or buildings are chopped off. Photos are fine on the camera and on my mac in iphoto and aperture. Switched off photostream on my ipad...all photos were deleted. Switched photostream back on and all photos uploaded again and portrait photos are cropped again

It sounds like while trying to import the photos with insufficient disk space those image files were damaged and not copied fully. Now that you have sufficient space (a minimum of 10 GB is recommended) the latest imports are good.
What do you get if you export one of the problem photos out of iPhoto as Kind=Original and try to open it with Preview. If it appears the same then there's nothing you can to do recover them.

Vertical Photos Sideways In Finder

I have a Canon PowerShot S5. The orientation of the camera is saved in the EXIF data, so any vertical photo imported is imported right-side up. (I use Image Capture to import the photos; I don't use iPhoto.) Vertical photos are vertical in Preview, as well as the thumbnails in Finder. However, when I preview the photo in an Open File dialog box, the photo is displayed vertically for a split second, then is shifted sideways. Here is a screenshot:
http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/423/screenshot3sz6.png
When I open the file, the photo is then displayed sideways instead of vertically. For example, I've been trying to add photos to the vCards in Calendar. However, because of this issue, every time I open a vertical photo, it is displayed sideways, making it impossible to add a photo to a vCard.
I have never experienced this problem until this week, after I imported some photos from a friend's Casio digital camera. The same is happening with the photos taken with the Casio:
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3816/screenshot2bm4.png
I was wondering what I can do in order to have the photos orientated correctly? I've racked my brain and come up with nothing.
Thanks.

Help...anyone??

No icons for vertical photos??

I have over 1000 pictures from a trip I recently went on and some of them, naturally were taken with the camera sideways which means that they have to be spun in Preview or iPhoto to be viewed.
Now whenever I look at my photos in the Finder all the ones I spun to vertical show as the jpg icon, that is I don't see a thumbnail of the actual picture. Is there any way to correct this so my vertical photos are visible as well?
So far all I've been able to do is use column view and the preview dropdown.
I also have the same problem with the desktop; many pictures dragged and dropped onto the desktop do not show up as thumbnails but as simple picture icons.

Many of my recently uploaded photos are horizontal when they should be vertical, and vice versa. I've corrected all these on my laptop but in my iPad and i Phone photo streams they are still mixed. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Add the corrected ones to your PS - PS contains only what was added to it - changes made are not applied to the PS - you have to re add the updated photos

HT201317 Photos (portrait orientation) are cropped and white sides are added. Why?

I have set up iCloud to sync the photos that I make with my iPhone (4S) to my iPad (3). To view my Photo Stream from my PC (Win7 prof SP1), I installed iCloud Control Panel for Windows (v1.1). This also enables me to add older photos to the Stream.
Landscape -orientation pictures are added without problem, but portrait orientation pictures are both cropped and have white sides added. This looks bad on my iPad. Is there some setting I could change to make the upload leave the format of the pictures alone?
I think I have seen this issue addressed before, but there was no solution with it. Any help appreciated, Regards, Dirk.

I have had the same problem as this.
I recently went to Paris for a short break but was without wifi for the whole time. I took about 300 photos on my iPhone 4. When I returned to the UK (and wifi!) the photos did not sync with my iPad via photo stream. I made sure I had 100% battery, was plugged into the mains, was connected to wifi etc.. I posted on here and was told that they should have synced automatically. However, I had by then disabled and re-enabled photo stream on my iPhone (according to instructions I found elsewhere) and it seems that photo stream only syncs photos taken since it is enabled.
... So in a further attempt to get my photos from Paris onto my iPad I transferred them onto my windows laptop via cable, and put them into my "uploads" folder in my photo stream folder. This didn't work either until I uninstalled iCloud on my pc and reset photo stream on iCloud.com. The photos eventually began syncing and appearing on my iPad. The problems now are as follow:
1) The photos are not in the right order, and there is no way on iPad to sort them. Why in earth has this happened? Is there a way to sort them correctly? It's obviously frustrating to look through the photos in the wrong order, and even worse when trying to show them to friends and family! I can't work out which order they are now arranged in - its not in "file name" order or "date taken" order. Nonsensical!!
2) The portrait photos, as the original poster describes above, have all been cropped at the top and bottom and have horrible white borders at the sides where other photos taken on iPad/iPhone would have clean black spaces.
I've been back in the uk for 4 days now and been trying to sort this out on and off since then. It really is a pain. Does anyone know if there are ways to transfer the photos more easily and reliably between devices when photos stream fails, and if there are ways to rectify the 2 above issues?

IPhoto '11: Vertical (portrait) pictures are cropped in a slideshow.

All portrait and landscape pictures in my library and albums are not cropped, yet when I play a slideshow, the portrait pictures are cropped. The landscape ones are not. Some of my subjects heads are partially cut off! Does anyone know how to fix this?

What is the theme you are using? Some themes, like reflections, will crop the slides that do not fit into the templates.
Try, if using a different theme will help.

Problems With Vertical Photos in One Event Folder

This is my first post here on these forums...I tried searching for an answer first and couldn't find one.
I have one event folder that is having problems. I am unable to export or even duplicate any pictures that are in the vertical position. This folder did not have this problem about a month ago, but since then I have added photos and now a problem has occurred. I have an album that contains some of these photos and they have the same problem there (for obvious reasons, since they are the same photo). All my other event folders are fine and do not have this problem. Did this folder somehow become corrupt? I haven't messed around with my library at all (at least not that I am aware of, I pretty much stay out of finder). At first I thought it may be because the pictures in the folder were taken with two different cameras, but I have other folders like that and they do not have this problem.
I tried rebuilding the library (cmd+alt and clicking iPhoto), but they did not fix my problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

mogunn:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a way I think you can recover that event. Open the library package like this and go to the Originals/event folder for the problem event. Copy it to the desktop and confirm that the photos are there and you can open them with Preview. Next open iPhoto and delete all photos in the event and then reimport the event folder from the desktop.
Warning: while in the library package via the Finder do not rename, move any file or folder. Just copy that one event folder to the desktop.
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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.

Interactive Photo Resizing/Cropping/Scaling

When I drop a jpg file into an interactive widget, the cropping and proportional controls seem to be limited. The canvas is clipped automatically and the left portion of the image is inaccessible when resizing the picture box. Am I doing something wrong? And when we drop a portrait-oriented, or vertical, photo in place it is cropped square automatically. Does anyone know how to have more control over resizing/cropping, or at least be able to use the parts of the image you want and not have them cropped automatically.
The mask function does not appear to be present in the interactive widget, or at least I am not finding out how to do it.

Exporting as a JPG will normally result in a decrease in FILE size, but not a reduction in IMAGE size. So, this is perfectly normal, and I don't see this as unusual or worrisome.
Furthermore, you are looking at the wrong measure. FILE size and megabytes tells you nothing, and will mislead you. Thus, I suggest to you that the comparison of going from 5.7 megabytes to 622 kilobytes is completely meaningless and useless. The IMAGE size, measured in megapixels, (or equivalently dimensions width x height) is what you need to be paying attention to. If you want to print at 8x10, and you use the "usual" level of quality of 300 pixels per inch, then you need 2400x3000 pixels (or more) in your exported photo. But you don't tell us what the IMAGE size is.

Referenced Library Copying Vertical Photos

Using iPhoto '08 with a referenced library, I find that when importing photos, it automatically copies photos it deems "modified". I have a Canon Powershot camera, which is one of many that automatically tags photos for the proper rotation (a basic accelerometer is in the camera). When I import horizontal photos, they are referenced, but if they were taken vertically, they are copied into my iPhoto library package. This results in a rapidly growing library package, but only with copies of photos I already have. Is there a way to tell it to not consider automatic rotation an "edit"?

Although Picassa shows the image without actually rotating them, when iPhoto does it the new file created can be used in other applications that do not read that rotation tag, like Safari, iMovie and iDVD. Drag one of the original files into any of those applications and you'll see that they do not display the file rotated.
