Web gallery file size...do I have this straight?
I've read through the posts so far. I'm new to LR (waiting for my package to arrive, so still using the trial).
I set up a collection of 57 photos. Most were raw, the largest being 167,866 KB. (kinda large) I tried to upload from LR (thinking maybe it doesn't work in the trial version as I kept getting errors of one kind or another?) and found the total of the files was over 176,000,000 KB. Hmmm. So, I went back into PhotoShop CS3 (after another program that usually will batch convert files didn't work) and saved each with 800 ppi maximum on a side, and saved them all for the web. (That took a little time, but not too bad.) Then I had to import the new .jpg folder, and re-edit each photo to maximize their exposure and such.
Must I do that every time I want to post a web gallery? In other words, I'll have to keep the original (larger) files, and make a smaller set for web plublishing, and convert everything to a .jpg file as well? (I suppose there's no sense in filling my server with photos that are much larger than necessary, but it seems like a lot of extra work.)
Also notice, if I have to start again (it is taking a long time, but then it's my first attempt), the collection I've saved has all the Identity plates and information I've typed in going back to Lightroom defaults, and the order of the photos goes back to random (after I've meticulously tried to put them in order). Hoping this is just because I'm using the trial again, but no way to know until the box comes in a few days (I hope).
The feature that caused me to make this purchase is the ability to do these galleries. I've been looking at templates, modifying them, and working on doing this, for quite some time now. When I saw it's just part of LR...WOW! I did get excited! What a useful and wanted feature!!!
It's more than one question, I know, but I've so many more! Will the learning every become adequate to do what I dream? (This last question is rhetorical, by the way.)
OMGoodness! I thought I saved the gallery in the Collections...clicked on it, and no pics, nothing I did (for the second time) seems to be anywhere. I have a LONG way to go in learning to use this tool correctly! Arghhhh! ... Last revision...went back into the folder, and everything is there. Wow! Guess I don't need it in a Collection. Awesome!
These files were scanned. I'm sorry, I forgot that. They're old pics. Some were in .jpg format, but most were in .psd format. I converted them to smaller files in the Save for Web Device in Photoshop. My next gallery will be shots from my Nikon D200, and I checked...the files are about the same size as yours. These scanned files were considerably bigger as the film was pretty old. Did quite a few of them previously to last night, and used a dpi (or is it ppi) of higher than 300 I did the last ones in. File size varied from 1,201 KB to 16.765 KB. (That bigger one was a 5X8 school shot.)
Will it normally send the files to the web full size and then just use the dimensions specified in the program? I have to check how much space I have on the server, but I do have another gallery I want to make, and I found a great plugin (here on the forum) to add mp3 music to the gallery. (I know, more space, but love it!) I figured 800 pixels on the longest side would be plenty adequate for viewing, and the gallery parameters are smaller, so that's fine.
One thing I don't understand, it asked me to place the files in "photos," but I don't think it uploaded a folder of "photos" to the web. However, it's obvious the files went. I was afraid if I used the export, I was going to have to upload the folder with my photo files to the server, but I think it handled that. I hope I get a user manual with my boxed product. It can't come soon enough! LOL
By the way, I successfully posted the gallery tonight. It's really great, and my son loved it. I am SO thrilled with this program!!!

Is there a file size limitation to using this service?
I am working on a large PDF file (26 mb) and I need to re-size the original and mess with the margins. I don't beleive there is an easy way to do this in Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro. It sounds like I have to convert the file back to a Word document, do the adjustments there and then produce a new PDF. I have two questions:
Is there a file size limitation to using this service?
Will a PDF to Word doc. conversion mantain the format of the orginal PDF?
Thanks
TimGood day Tim,
There is a 100MB file size limitation for submitting files to the ExportPDF service. As for the quality of the conversion, from our FAQ entitled Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and formatting information?:
Adobe ExportPDF is capable of exporting high quality information, but the quality of your Word or Excel document depends on the quality of the PDF file you start with. For instance, if your PDF file was originally authored in Microsoft Word or Excel and converted to PDF using the PDFMaker functionality of Adobe Acrobat®, your PDF file contains a rich set of information that can be captured by Adobe ExportPDF. This includes relative positioning of tables, images, and even multi-column text, as well as page, paragraph, and font attributes.
If your PDF file was originally authored using simpler PDF generation methods, such as “print to PDF” or “scan to PDF” options, Adobe ExportPDF will convert any recognizable text and then use sophisticated conversion intelligence to preserve as much of the page layout as possible.
Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Kind regards,

Does anyone have a solution? Please help.Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please. -

How do you set the size ie Small, Medium or Large when uploading to Web Gallery? I see only the quality settings of Optimized and Actual Size. When emailing photos a window appears to set size how do I enter this feature for Web Gallery? Obviously I am missing something as the Apple help pages indicate this is achievable.
Gordon:
I see what you're referring to. However that paragraph describes the various situations that resizing photos can be done. The following paragraphs describe the amount of resizing for each of those functions. The paragraph for "Printing and albums published to your Web Gallery" it mentions only Optimized and Actual/Full Size.
The paragraph for "Email or view-only website" referS to using them in iWeb I believe, not a web gallery.
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), 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. 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.

Web gallery full size images blurry on .mac
My photos look great in iPhoto. But when I have iPhoto create a web gallery and sync it to .mac the full size images are quite blurry. The thumbs are fine, but the full size images look over compressed. I can't find a place to fool with image quality for these images. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
-BuddyBuddy:
I found that the full sized images that I synced to a web gallery in iPhoto were jpg compressed to a quality level of 9 out of 12 (as determined thru Photoshop). I do not notice any obvious degradation of image quality. At 200% enlargement I did notice some unsharpness. My files are compressed down from around 2 MB TO 840KB.

Web Gallery File Datestamp Unexpected?
O Learned Denizens,
I notice an "undocumented feature" that caused me some confusion. I scribe it here to save others the same confusion, maybe.
I use the Web module a lot to publish galleries. It rocks. I use
Matthew Campagna's web templates - they also rock. This behaviour is common to Jardine web gallery too, though - so I don't think it's Matthew's doing.
I have a desire to have a local copy of a site that I can test before uploading, so therefore I always "export" rather than "upload" from Lightroom.
I have a little shell script (MacOSX) that sniffs around the local copy of my site and, when asked, lobs any new stuff up onto the server. The basic plan is that I drop a new gallery into this area and then run the "upload" script.
When the gallery is written out, the datestamp on files that make up the mechanics of the gallery (pngfix.js etc) is the time of the files in the "master" gallery.
This means that my shell script doesn't upload the mechanics of the gallery by default (since the files are not "new") and means I need to recursively "touch" all the files in a gallery directory before uploading.
In unix-speak, I'd say the copy operation is being carried out with a "cp -p" operation by LR instead of a straightforward "cp". If someone could confirm whether or not the same thing happens on Windows that would be excellent.
It's not the end of the world but it did confuse me a bit, since the sites would work locally but not when I pushed them up to the server - obviously because they were incomplete, but that fact escaped me initially since they
i look
complete on first inspection, having all the relevant (but empty) subdirectories.
Since the "cp -p" thing is
i not
the default option, it seems that somebody somewhere has a reason for doing it this way. I'm just buggered if I can think what it is.
DamianThe Unix stuff is beyond me, but if you're using OS X, you might try using
FileBuddy to "touch" your files before uploading.
Also, I'm glad you think my galleries rock. Thank you! ;)

How can I customize the size of the pictures that I upload to the web gallery?
When iPhoto published a web gallery the file is resized to 800 x 600 pixels for the slideshow and individual display. If you select the option to allow visitors to download the photos the full sized, pixel dimension, image is uploaded as well as the 800 x 600 display version. The full version will, however, be reduced in file size which is equivalent to a Photoshop jpeg quality level of around 9 of of 12. The pixel dimensions are the same as the original file.
Is there some other size you want to have uploaded?

The images I send to a windows server are arriving as small files, and all the same size. The image sent have a variety of sizes from 1M to 11M. Is this something to do with an Apple operating system upgrade?
I also have this problem. My Samsung SE-506BB is connected to my Mac Mini and worked perfectly up to the point when I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. I use Toast Titanium 11 to write files to disks. This works OK for my DVD burner, also a Samsung model, but now does not like my Blu Ray burner which I need to archive files asI have no intention of using any form of Cloud storage for my files. The disks that I am using are TDK which received good reviews but none of the reviers specified which burner they were used in.
Questions..
Are these disks incompatible with Samsung burners?
Could it be a bad batch of disks?
Is the problem due to the upgrade to Mavericks bearing in mind the drive worked OK before upgrade?
Is the problem with Roxio Toast?
A combination of the above?
Something that I have not thought of yet?
Some help would be much appreciated as I am wasting so many disks trying to get the drive to work properly. -
PSD files sent over FTP given 1kb file size, archived, and have .bin appended to extension
I'm trying to deliver PSD files to someone over our server's FTP. If the FTP shared folder is accessed via a browser (like safari which is the main thing I've been testing on), the files in are listed as being only 1kb in size when each is approximately 60MB and all have had .bin appended to the .psd file extension. When the file is downloaded it's still 1kb and when opened it is associated with the archive utility which attempts to unarchive it and produces and identically named and extensioned file of 4kb size which cannot be opened by preview or text edit or photoshop.
Changing the extension does not help as suggested here http://forums.appleinsider.com/archive/index.php/t-25119.html . Also if the file is downloaded via 3rd party FTP software like cyber duck, though the file size is listed as 1kb, the correct size file is downloaded though still has the .bin extension. When this full sized .bin file is opened, archive utility instead of unarchiving attempts to archive it and produces a file roughly half the size which too cannot be opened. Speaking with apple care resulted in the suggestion that I use terminal command line to force the client to use binary mode when downloading the file which also downloads a file of correct size but with the .bin extension and that can not be opened.
Is this a known issue with PSD files? I've not come accross this before, the server is configured correctly and different file types are successfully downloading with no changes to size or extension and then opening as they should upon receipt at the client side.Hi and thanks,
that was my next port of call but I stumbled across a more permanent fix. Mac OSX server automatically converts files sent over FTP to something called MacBinary on the fly and it seems this process doesn't agree with PSD files. Someone else encountered this problem back in 2003 and found this solution
http://forums.appleinsider.com/archive/index.php/t-25119.html
speaking to apple care they also sent a link for the official mac instructions for achieving the same thing here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20996
and here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20645?viewlocale=en_US
in the second explanation it's important to note for anyone attempting to follow this that if you're fixing the problem on MacOsX server rather than just MacOSX it isn't necessary to enable the root account as it is automatically enabled by default. Simply log out and log back in as root and use the same password as the first administrator account you set up when the server was first configured. -
CREATIVE SUITE 5 WEB PREMIUM FILE SIZE SHOWING UP 936 GB
The file size of creative suite 5 web premium showing up 936GB in installed programes(windows 7). The actual size is below 4 GB. The capacity of my computer hard disk is just 250 GB only. Iam not able to uninstall the software. Nothing happening when I click on "uninstall". When I keep clicking on uninstall a pop up message says that "please wait while the current program is uninstalled or being changed" but this is just a pop up message. I waited over 3 hours but the unintallation is not processing at all. Attempted to uninstall several times but same result. Tried to install the creative suite using the CD thinking that i get a notification that the software is already installed. But the installation CD is just initializing and stops after that. .
The Option " Save for Web devices" grayed out after I accidently removed the plug-in from PS CS5. I wanted to re-install the photoshop CS5, but the installation CD stops working after the initialization. Could someone guide me how to get rid of this issue?
Thanks
UthanThanks for the reply. but how do I manually weed out the install entries in my registry? could you please guide me with the steps? This http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html is not working I am afraid. I understand that I need to uninstall the creative suite before I run CS cleaner. But as I explained in my first question, the uninstallation is not working at all. Even I could uninstall the software, I am afraid that I may get into trouble if installatin is not working. All I want is that my photoshop error " save for web devices " which was grayed out should work as normal. This error happened after I moved the plug-ins.
Thanks

Changing default jpeg compression for Web Gallery files
I have created several web galleries from both Raw and Jpeg files with Iphoto '08 that suffer from serious jpeg compression artifacts. I haven't found any way to change the compression amount to reduce the artifacts. Is there actually a way?
papasteveo:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is no way in iPhoto for the user to manage the jpg compression of the web gallery photos. If the option for visitors to download the photos is selected the copy that's uploaded is compressed approximately equivalent to an Photoshop quality setting of 8 or 9 out of 12. The pixel dimensions are the same as the original unless the max dimension in the original exceeds 3054. The the file is resized to 3054 max dimension.
If the gallery is just for viewing the image is resized to 800 x 600 with additional compression.
You could manually replace the file with one that you've prepared but it would be very tedious as each file has it's own folder and the file name is changed to web.jpg (viewing only) or large.jpg (download). You would have to rename each file to be uploaded to the new name and make sure it's placed in the correct folder.

Working web gallery file locations?
LR3's ftp is timing out so I need to upload the gallery files with an ftp client. However, I can't find where it's putting the files to be uploaded. Where does it put them in windows 7?
Try using the 'Export' option, instead of 'Upload'. This gives you the opportunity to specify exactly where you
