Web Gallery Maximum Photo Size

After evaluating the .mac service, I came to learn that the photos I import into iPhoto08 and subsequently upload to a .mac web gallery are modified (downsized/compressed). See the following link for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1071. I would imagine that for most people, limiting the picture size to 6 megapixels probably isn't a big deal. However, in my case I have a Canon 5D camera, use Photoshop CS3 to edit my photos, and use an Epson 3800 Pro to print my photos. I take great care to ensure that my photos are of the highest quality. When I share them with family/friends, I want them to have these very same high quality photos that I worked on. Given the fact that you are paying for space with a .mac account (10 GB), I'm having a hard time understanding why Apple forces this picture size limitation. Why does Apple care how big my photos are? Does anybody else feel the same way?
As a point of comparison, I've been happily using Smugmug for the past couple years to share photos with family/friends. I pay $40/year, have unlimited storage/downloads, Smugmug renders 7 different viewing resolutions (generated on their server, not on my harddrive), does not alter my photos in any way, and enables my family/friends to order prints.

Greg

Why does Apple care how big my photos are? Does anybody else feel the same way?
This is a user forum - it is not a place to post questions for Apple. It is NOT a place for RANTS - if you want answers from Apple you must ask Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback. If you just want to RANT there are lots of places on the internet to do that
Do you have a question that any of the users here can assist you with?
Basically at this time I'd say that the answer for you is not to use iPhoto galleries - they are a very nice consumer tool - if they are not up to your quality standard then you are free to use any solution you wish
No One here can CHANGE anything - they may be able to assist you with using iPhoto is you have quesitions

  • 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!

  • Web Gallery and photo Info

    I just took some photos with my Canon 40D. I imported then directly into Aperture 2.0. After adding some to a Web gallery and publishing I viewed the info by pressing . It is missing most of the information that I would want to see.
    There is no shutter, aperture, ISO, etc information.
    Is there something special that needs to be done to display this information.

    There seams to be a minor bug or maybe an intentional feature here. When you create a web album you will have the option to upload large JPEG versions of your images. If you select only to upload medium size JPEGs then Aperture will not include EXIF or IPTC data into those medium JPEGs.
    If you in the web album settings window go to "Allow: Downloading of: " and check that with any of the three option (Optimized Images/Actual Size Images/Masters and Optimized Images) then Aperture will generate larger JPEGs that includes EXIF and IPTC data.
    Upload time will be a lot longer since these files are a lot larger than the medium size JPEGs.
    It might be better if Aperture had a check box where you could decide to include or exclude these metadata.

  • Flash Web Gallery large photo border erratic behavior

    In Lightroom HTML Web Gallery one can define border styles for the displayed photos. I cannot find a similar future in the Flash Gallery however. Is there one??? In any case, the first 6 photos in my Flash Web Gallery appear with a black border around the main large displayed photos. The subsequent photos do not have any border. In either case, it would be nice to have the border appearance consistent and preferably user definable.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi John,
    Thanks for that. A bit more digging - preview in browser is fine and export to harddrive then runs in browser OK. I tried HTML gallery and got the same error (No 2 says a file was truncated) so I chucked it all at another server and it seems to be OK. Looks like an ISP problem.
    Those unconnected problems were:
    Despite repairs I still can't burn to CD, it still says it's been disabled. I don't miss the feature but I like to think my installation is fully functional.
    I still seem to have a memory leak in that if I crop,edit and export 46 images as jpg it falls over, very politely - sorry for the inconvenience etc but this is repeatable, yesterday it crashed at 46 and 92 images. I wonder if my 2.3 install was OK and this was behind the second part of my question.

  • 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.

  • Iphoto not uploading to Web Gallery - all photos "pending"

    I added some more photos to my existing Web Gallery folders, plus created a new one by dragging them into the Web Gallery folders. However, they all appear as "pending" and are not appearing on the web. I've stopped / restarted Iphoto and my Macbook. I've tried removing and adding other photos to the galleries. I've moved the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" and "com.apple.iPhoto" files to the desktop as suggested in another post. None of these have worked.

    Yes, and the icons next to the web gallery names alternate between an arrow that goes round in circles, something that looks like a pie-chart / clock, and one that looks like a wireless transmission icon. Hope you know what I mean.
    When I open the web gallery page nothing has changed. I even left it going overnight.

  • Web Gallery duplicating photos

    I seem to have a consistent problem of photo duplicating themselves when I add new photos to a Web Gallery. The duplications don't show up on the actual Web gallery but are present within iPhoto, for example iPhoto says there are 96 images and the Web Gallery says 73. This problem only occurs when I add images to an existing Web Gallery and not when creating a new Web Gallery from selected images or albums. If you delete the 'dupe' all instances of the same image are deleted. Anyone else having this problem? any ideas to fix it?

    My gallery/iphoto wish list is to have this solved and then to allow the gallery albums to have sub albums within them. Im talking 1600 thumbnail photos per student, 21 students!
    This is a user forum and Apple does not monitor or respond here - to provide feedback/suggestions to Apple go to the iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    As to your duplication issue - I have no idea what you are asking
    Yes my gallery looks right except I having trouble putting my lead photo on the album cover.
    I think you want to change the key photo - to do this open the web gallery in iPhoto (click on it in the source pane - the left hand list) and find the photo you want as the key photo and drag it to the little thumbnail at the upper left of the window to the left of the gallery name

  • HTML web gallery with 3 sizes?

    Hello all! I'm getting started with the LR SDK and am currently dissecting the default_html.lrwengine gallery template. That gallery supports a grid of thumbnails which link to a detail page for each photo. I'm trying to add a second link on the detail pages which links to a full size copy of each photo (the detail page versions are not full size but instead something like "medium" resolution).
    I have created photoSizes in the model for thumb, medium, and large with all the correct properties, I added a second AddPhotoPages entry to the manifest (for the full size version), and I have edited my thumbs.html (replacing grid.html), medium.html (replacing detail.html), and large.html files to link each other accordingly... however, the medium >> large link never seems to work.
    Is there some trick to adding a third (or more) size to LR web galleries? Do I need to do something beyond just adding more photoSizes and more html files? Is there some funky syntax for including more than one AddPhotoPages entry in the manifest? I assumed that's what the "variant" property was for...

    I've done a version of this where the large file links to the medium and it works no problem. code is based on tutorial code I've already written..
    I'd need to see more code to see where the issue might be..
    Here's what I have:
    (I opted not to put the files in "content", also ignore margin-top, it's not relevent to this)
    AddGridPages {
    template='grid.html',
    rows=model.nonCSS.numRows,
    columns=model.nonCSS.numCols,
    AddCustomCSS {
    filename='resources/css/custom.css',
    AddResources {
    source='resources',
    destination='resources',
    AddPhotoPages {
    template='detail.html',
    variant='_large',
    destination="",
    AddPhotoPages {
        template='medium.html',
        variant='_medium',
        destination="",
    In medium.html
    <div id="detailContainer">
    <div style="margin-top:<%= margintop %>px;">
    <img src="bin/images/med/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" alt="$image.metadata.description"/></div>
    </div>
    in detail.html
    <div id="detailContainer">
    <div style="margin-top:<%= margintop %>px;">
    <a href="<%= image.exportFilename %>_medium.html"><img src="bin/images/photo/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" alt="$image.metadata.description"/></a></div>

  • Making a web gallery type photo viewer in encore

    Ay guys,
    so I'm relatively new with the whole encore thing. I know enough that I can make menu's, buttons, put in animations etc. the basics really.
    I'm wondering if theres a way to make one of my menu's a photo gallery kind of like this one
    http://www.filebuzz.com/software_screenshot/full/49904-FlexiGallery__XML_Flash_Image_Galle ry.gif
    Where the small ones at the bottoms are thumbnails and when clicked show up in the bigger one up top.
    i know photoshop has the ability to make web galleries but i wasn't sure if or how they could transfer over.
    Thanks and any info is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers. 

    For a Photo Gallery, I think that you will want to look a Adobe Bridge, Adobe Lightroom, and finally for publishing, Adobe Dreamweaver.
    Encore is a DVD/BD authoring program, and other than creating a DVD Flash, it will be pretty limited, doing what you want to do. You would end up with a very Menu-heavy Project (only get 1GB of Menus and navigation), and then is more suited for Flash Video on a Web page. You could possibly construct something, but it would be rather of a kludge, and also fairly limited. With those other Adobe programs, you will have much more latitude and far greater flexibility.
    Good luck,

  • Web Gallery Template Font Size Adjustment

    When I am in the Web module and using one of the templates (Flash or HTML), I would like to be able to adjust the font size of all the text used for the titles, headings, captions, etc. In general, I find the default font sizes too small, especially on the Flash templates.

    Hi Swapna
    Try following:
    1. Test with standard Survey component. You can do this by removing assignment of enhancement set to a client.
    Use transaction SM30. Open table BSPWDV_EHSET_ASG to remove assignment. Now the standard component should be picked up during survey processing in Web UI.
    2. If the standard survey component is also not showing the note effect then you can check if the note is applied properly. There are some manual steps in the note which are normally overlooked.
    After applying the note the font size from the 'htmlb' tags will overwritten by a fixed font size specified in a css file(htmlb_style.css).
    After Applying the note please verify whether the htmlb_style.css is also imported. This can be done by the following steps
    1.Goto Transaction Se80, and then go to Repository browser.
    2.Select 'BSP application' from dropdown and the application as SVY_H.
    3.Expand the Mime folder. Here the file 'htmlb_style.css' must be present.
    4.Place the cursor on the 'htmlb_style.css' right click and select display from the menu. This would show the file with new font sizes.
    3. There is one more note from where you can download the latest css file(htmlb_style.css).
    Note 1356414 - Text gets cut off for long surveys
    Hope this helps

  • Can I change Web Gallery "Key Photos"?

    In the album overview, I have not been able to figure out how the album chooses the "Key Photo" that represents the album.
    I haven't experimented fully, but it seems that a Key Photo from an Event made into an album follows to the Web Album, but I have several albums and smart albums I also need galleries of.

    Oops, there it is. "Make Key Photo" from the "Events" menu.

  • Are there addresses for Web Gallery photos?

    So, I assume that when you make a web gallery, the photos are being uploaded to your iDisk space. Is there a direct address to link to so they can be HTML'd?

    Chris:
    Open one of the web galleries in iPhoto and look at the top of the window. There will be a url link you can either copy or use to visit the online gallery. If you click on the Tell a Friend button an email will be created with the link in it also.
    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.

  • How to have Web Gallery photos have a Watermark?

    I created Web Galleries in Aperture 2.1. I have in the Presets for Web Exporting selected a PSD Watermark I made. But when viewing the photos on the Web Gallery, the photos do not have the Watermark.
    I also changed the Presets for Image Export to include a Watermark and these export with the Watermark.
    Is there a way to have the photos displayed on Web Galleries to include a Watermark for copyright?

    How could they pass this over? I'm using Aperture 2.1.1 so they obviously haven't taken any of this to heart over the past few months. The web gallery feature is so simple and intuitive it's a bit of a slap in the face not being able to embed my watermark. It would only make sense given that they have made downloading your images so simple. If I want to give a client a link to download my pics they certainly need to have some form of copyright on them. Come on Aperture team! Make this stunning product just that much better and please add this feature!

  • Adjust Photo Size For Web Gallery

    I'm uploading a new Web Gallery as I type this....(although nothing appears to be happening at the moment...I decided against my first couple of efforts and deleted those galleries).
    I don't see a way to adjust the size of the photos uploaded to the Web Gallery. As each of the photos I'm uploading is approximately 3MB in size, I was hoping there might be an option to compress each of the photos prior to uploading. Am I missing it?
    In iPhoto Help, there's a topic for "Choosing the Appropriate Size For Your Photo". Apparently, this only refers to emailed photos, though?
    Any thoughts on this?

    Mike:
    Have you checked on the size of the files uploaded to the web gallery? They are resized to 800 x 600 pixels. If you select the option to have the full sized image downloaded then the max pixel dimension is 3054 pixels in any direction. If the are larger than than the get resized. Additionally the file is compressed. My 2.7 MB file was downsized to 750 KB.

  • Web Gallery Photo size

    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.
