Web Gallery - image file size

When I upload my images to the Web Gallery the file size of the image is greatly reduced. From 1.8MB file to about 450K - for the download or subscribe options. The image size is not changed, but the file appears to be more heavily compressed. Has anybody else seen this? If so, have you found a way to upload the original file size so subscribers will get your original file?

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you got an answer to this question. I am desperately trying to figure out how to post my pictures in their ORIGINAL SIZE to my web gallery.
Thanks!

How to reduce image file size in spreadsheet

I have created a spreadsheet that contains cells with small amounts of text, and images that I brought in from the Media Browser from iPhoto. This has caused the file size to become HUGE, on the order of 234 MB. Saving it as a pdf only reduces it to 220 MB.
I have tried the Format>Image>Reduce Image File Size, as well as File>Reduce File Size, but in both cases, those options are grayed out.
What am I doing wrong? All I really want is thumbnail versions of my image files.
I don't understand what the Reduce Image File Size command would be used for, if it doesn't work for this?

When you insert a picture in a cell, it's used as a background.
To do that, the app keep it in a size allowing it to accomodate the larger cell size permitted.
If you want to get small images matching the cell size which you use, you must reduce the picture by yourself before inserting it. For instance, cells are often 72 * 16 pixels ones so you may reduce your pictures so that thir width become 72 pixels.
Of course, if the user enlarge the cell, the picture will become highly pixelated.
Look at this example.
In B4 is the original : 202 x 177 pixels
In C3 is the reduced one : 72 x 63
in B2 is the reduced one in a 202 x 177 pixels cell. It's awfully pixelized
We must arbitrate between size and quality.

What is image dpi after "Reduce Image File Size"

Does anyone know the resulting image dpi after using the "Reduce Image File Size" command in pages? My mother is trying to prepare some things for pre-press, and can't send her document to the printing press, because the pages docs are friggin huge! I'm trying to give her the easiest option for resizing all of the many images in the document, but don't know if this is a viable option if the end product needs to be printed. I need the output to be at least 300dpi.

As fruhulda wrote, asking Pages to apply changes to the pictures isn't the good path.
In fact, it's a perfect way to get a fat file.
My practice is :
Prepare the document in Pages to define the wanted size of every embedded pictures.
Edit the picture files in a tool dedicated to this task so that the resulting files will be 300 dpis ones for the wanted sizes.
Then, replace the original pictures by the definitive ones.
In most cases, the file will be lighter than the original one and you will have the 300 dpis resolution (except if you apply shadows but it's an other story).

Maximum Image file size flash can handle?

Does anyone knows the max image file size flash can load
using MovieClipLoader?
I tried 10.5 MB PNG file and Flash thinks it is loaded but,
the actual image never shows up.
Thanks,

Well it is good for that client. But it still won't work in
Flash. Sorry. You will need to slice the picture into different
chunks at 2880 x 2880 max and reassemble the tiles in Flash.
You may also run into an issue that things sometimes get lost
if there is more that 16,000 (or thereabouts) pixels difference in
their coordinates.

Where is the image file size???

Where is the image file size in LR3? I can't see it anywhere neither in the Library module, nor in the Develop module.

As far as I know Lightroom does not display the file size. Keep in mind that LR never makes changes to the Original files that you import.
When you export a file with LR edits the file size generated will depend on the edits applied and the size and quality settings you choose in the export dialog.

When Generating Flash web pages; images files incorrectly reported as missing.

Using LR 2.2 or 2.3, <Web, Export, (to local directory > As Program executes, in the upper left corner of screen, LR displays tiny version of image being processed, and path of web image; THEN, upon completion, displays the following error message ---- Export did not complete successfully. ( Window with list of following:) Original image file is missing: ( complete file path and name for raw image) etc. ----- (even though the files exist at the specified location!) Options selected in generating web page: - Flash gallery - Layout: paginated - large images size: large - thumbnail images size: large Machine data: Lightroom version: 2.3 [539407] Version: 10.5 [6] Application architecture: x86 Physical processor count: 8 Processor speed: 2.8 GHz Built-in memory: 6144.0 MB Real memory available to Lightroom: 4096.0 MB Real memory used by Lightroom: 616.5 MB (15.0%) Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 1197.2 MB Memory cache size: 801.8 MB Source files (on external firewire drives): |-- subdirectory 'Show name' - selected images - Dress rehearsal - performance 3 - performance 4 - performance 5 My History with bug: Using LR 2.2, web pages created successfully from 'Performance 5' and 'selected images', but not from others and got error messages as above. Using LR 2.3, web pages for 'performance 4' and 'performance 3' successfully created, but get error message as above for 'Dress rehearsal'. Quit LR, tested catalog integrity and made backup, and tried again, but same error results. All image files, identified above as missing, were available to LR and found in 'Library' and 'Develope'd prior to selection for <Web, Export, ...> Other Things I have tried: - test for library integrity, at startup; - Using LR 2.2, I copied the 'problem' images to separate directory and tried to <Web, export, ...> but still got same error message (for the new location)! Is this a User error or mysterious program bug? Comments, work-arounds, suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help on this. Woody

I am not expert in these, but please check out the following things and see whether it would solve your issue. (All these changes can be easily rolled back in case I'm wrong :). So make note of what you do)
As per your httpd.conf, you have chosen an automatic configuration of Apache by OWCI installer itself. What it does is create an imageserver.conf file in a separate directory and these settings will be included in your httpd.conf as you can see in the first line: Include "C:/bea/alui/plumtreeconf/".
If you check the imageserver.conf in that location, you would find a line like: Alias /imageserver/ "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/". This aliases the original path "C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/" to /imageserver"
To confirm whether this is done right, check the following:
1. Acces 'http://<server ip / server name / localhost >/' from your browser
This should display the Apache home page (as per your httpd.conf, it uses the default port 80; so no port number required)
2. Access 'http://<server ip>/imageserver/' from your browser
This should display the directory structure (if its not disabled) inside your 'C:/bea/alui/ptimages/imageserver/' folder. Also confirm that all the subfolders are accessible.
3. If all the above is right, it means that your imageserver settings are right. Please check your portalconfig.xml for the correct settings: For example, <setting name="HTTPPort"> should be 7001 in your case. If its something else, change it and restart Weblogic for the settings to take effect.
Hope this helps.

Web Gallery Images Don't Show Up On Web

I am very new to Lightroom, but have been using Dreamweaver and Photoshop for quite a while now. I took about 10 pictures that I wanted to be on a test web gallery, brought them into Lightroom as their own collection, selected them all and went to the Web tab at the top, HTML Gallery was selected by default and I left everything else at the defualt, just to see what I could get working. I then went to Export, and it export to a folder called 'gallery' on my desktop. I then went to the 'gallery' folder on my desktop, and inside there was a file called 'index.html'. I opened it, and the gallery loaded perfectly with all of the images showing.
Then, I selected the gallery folder and opened my FTP client, and uploaded the entire folder to my web server, whose domain is, let's say, test.com. I then went to test.com/gallery, and the gallery loaded but without any of the pictures. The outlines of the cells are fine, the defualt text all came up, but in every cell where an image should be, there is a little image missing icon in the top-left corner. This is the same in all browsers, and I have tried using the different kinds of galleries (Flash, etc.) but they all have the same sort of problem. The flash gallery specifically just says 'Loading' and hangs there, even though when running off of my desktop it works just fine.
In addition, I have tried configuring Lightroom's built-in FTP uploader to upload directly instead of exporting and then uploading, but that had the same results.
I have attached a picture which will show the difference between when it is on my desktop and when it is on the web.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there a file I'm supposed to rename for when it goes onto the web? I made sure that none of the folders I had the pictures in, none of the collections, and none of the names of the pictures themselves had spaces or punctuation so that it wouldn't mess up any coding that Lightroom would try to automate. I'm not familiar with the Lightroom settings and would really appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.

Well, I re-read what was said in that forum and made those changes. I'm not quite sure what the SDK was for in this case, I just went to the folder, right clicked, and opened the files I needed to edit with Notepad. Then I edited, saved, re-opened Lightroom, re-exported, re-uploaded, and...drumroll...it worked perfectly.
Thank you all very much for your help. I had been using the Trial version of Lightroom, but after reviewing all of the other features and, finally, getting the web gallery feature to work just fine, I think I'm going to purchase it!
I'm going to send in a feature request through the little option on the side of this Forum page, and request that either those options be used by default (I just had my friend upload them to his Unix server and it worked fine on his), or that there should be an option to choose what type of server you're using. I don't think a user should have to edit program files, especially for something so simplistic. Thanks again.

Web gallery image setting control

Develop settings persist in slideshow, but web galleries seem to have had the settings changed considerably. Has anyone else seen the not-at-all-subtly increased brightness (gamma change?) on web gallery exported images? Is there a way to configure LR to not do this, or to set export preferences other than size and compression quality? Workarounds, if not? Other gallery software recommended (LR exports work fine for me, just not through the web gallery)?
My experience is on an Intel Duo iMac 10.4.10. (And staying there until Adobe releases LR for 10.5.)
I have searched the forum for previous discussions on the topic. I did not find anything relevant. Apologies if I missed something.
Thanks for any wisdom!

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you got an answer to this question. I am desperately trying to figure out how to post my pictures in their ORIGINAL SIZE to my web gallery.

Html web Gallery: Cell Number Size

I need to determine how to alter the size of the Cell Numbers in the :standard" Lightroom Web Gallery layout.
The numbering is too large to be clearly seen in the upper left hand corner of the cell i;e the thumbnails cover a portion of the numerals.
I'm fairly certain that my client is not going to appreciate this "feature".
How does one change the font size...either in the Lightroom Web Gallery Mode or using HTML...in Dreamweaver or otherwise?
I' will appreciate any help on this.
Thank you

I don't know of a way to influence the size of the cell numbers from within LR.
From outside LR, you have two options:
1) If you want to change the number for a specific web gallery you exported:
Open file [your_webgallery]\resources\css\master.css with a text editor
Find the section ".itemNumber" and change the value of "font-size:" from 40px to something smaller
2) If you want to make the change valid for new HTML web galleries you create:
Open file "\Shared\webengines\default_html.lrwebengine\resources\css\master.css" under your LR installation directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.2 for WinXP)
Do the same edit as above
Note that option 2 has to be repeated after every installation of (new versions) of LR.

Insert Photoshop Web Gallery swf file into Dreamweaver

So i tried to take a shortcut, and created a flash photoshop
web gallery and placed the "gallery.swf" file into my html file in
Dreamweaver. However, it is showing a blank white screen (i'm
guessing it can't find the images?) but when I view it on my hard
drive, it is working fine, just not in dreamweaver or any browser,
even after I upload to my server. Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated!! I've also tried pasting the body html code from
"index.htm" that photoshop creates, as well as move my image files
to the root folder where the swf is, but that doesn't work either.
I have my scripts in the same directory, and not in
subfolders.

Kizat727 posted in macromedia.dreamweaver:

That page is very different from the code you posted and I
know nothing
about Geoff Stearns' FlashObject code.
For the above link, I see nothing in the source code that
attempts to
load a .swf file. However, it is linking to
AC_RunActiveCon.js file in
the wrong place:
GET /dyers/assets/flash/pages/AC_RunActiveContent.js HTTP/1.1
Referer:
http://www.micromediapubs2.com/dyers/portfolio.html
HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found
The file is actually here:
/dyers/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
So if you actually do have a page in the dyers/ folder that
links to a
.swf file, just make sure the link to the .js file is
correct.
Most likely, change this:
<script src="assets/flash/pages/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
to this:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

.mac web gallery images from iPhoto

Is any one having this problem? When you create a web gallery from an Event in iPhoto and you go to the My Gallery section each gallery of photos does not have an image, it is just gray with a gray image. It is suppose to have an image from the gallery and when you scroll over it you see all the images. It is not working for me?
Any ideas?
Donje

When you move the cursor over the gallery it should show the various files located insdie, i.e. skimming. What happens when you click on one of the galleries? Does it open and display properly? Do you only have one gallery? Try creating a second test gallery of a couple of photos and try again.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Curious: How does "Save for Web" reduce the file size?

I do know HOW TO USE "Save for web" -- no questions there. I'm wanting to understand better what's going on under the hood.
When I start with say, an 8x10 JPG at 300 dpi, I understand completely how bringing that down to 72 dpi yields a much smaller file. Simple math.
What I don't understand is how the "Save for Web" function can reduce that smaller file size so drastically at the same dimensions, still 72dpi, with negligible image loss (at least at the 80% quality). Maybe it's just my amateur eyes, but for everyday casual web pages, I can discern no significant difference between the two 72dpi images. (At lower quality settings, I do see differences.)
Can anyone explain a bit more of HOW Photoshop does this? Is it simply compression? For example, is it -roughly- analogous to converting an AIF sound file as an MP3?
Thanks,
cb

Thanks, that worked. I figure there was a setting in there somewhere and was even in the right tab, but didnt think to click on that.

Jpeg Image file size for a Downloadable Product

I'm creating a site in BC for the client to sell digital download copies of their original photographs. The purpose of the product for the consumer would be to use the low res download as a screen save or for viewing in a gallery on a desktop, tablet or smartphone device. BC accommodates such products but I haven't a clue as to what size to upload the image files in the BC Product Details page.
Does anyone have any relevant information to share?

If the client intends on selling digital copies of the images, then I would make sure to make the previews small. Like 600 x 800 small. If it gets too big people aren't going to be inclined to pay for bigger.
I usually upload my photos in 1040 or 1280 on social media. But 1280 looks pretty good on most laptops. That'll change as screens get denser, but as of now I would think if I was trying to sell images and had previews at 1280 a lot of people would just take the 1280 and run.

Save for Web with Optimize File Size for Batch Process

I have a client who needs to be able to run a batch process on jpg images ranging in size from 600KB to 2.5MB optimizing their file size as close to 200KB as possible. The feature is included in Photoshop's save for web optimize dialog but it doesn't work for batch processes. If you record an action with the optimize to file size option set it processes all the images in the batch based on the quality settings required to resize the image you used during recording, meaning if the image you recorded was 1.5MB the quality setting might be 70 percent to hit the 200KB mark but that wouldn't be the correct quality setting for a 600KB file nor a 2.5MB file those would either be too small or too large.
I've done quite a bit of searching both online and in the photoshop scripting forums but I haven't been able to find anything that would point me in the right direction.
My client's paying for this work so if there's someone who knows how to script this who'd rather be paid than just do some pointing we can arrange for that quite easily.
Thanks in advance for your assistance and suggestions.
In case it's of importance we're using Photoshop CS4.

If you don't mind spending a few bucks on a shareware prog, Jpegsizer has the option to save to a filesize.
You can find it here.
http://www.tangotools.com/jpegsizer/register.htm
There is a free trial version, but you can't save files.
