Web gallery picture sizes

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?
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 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 08 libraries 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.

Buddy:
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 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.

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!!!

Web Gallery pictures after deletion still in Finder

Hello....
I create a web gallery on MobileMe using iPhoto '08 and had it allow others to upload the pictures to the gallery using web interface.
Now, when someone uploads the pictures they appear in the iPhoto the next time it syncs. However, if I delete the picture from the Web Gallery it disappears from iPhoto BUT the picture can still be found in the Finder under the iPhoto package in Pictures directory. I mean the picture do not get deleted from the iPhoto package in Finder when they are deleted from Web Gallery.
How the picture should be deleted from Web gallery so it gets deleted from the Finder as well? I mean it is difficult to trace the pictures and delete manually in Finder.
One other question I have is if someone uploads the picture and it appears in iPhoto under Web Gallery and I want to move this picture to my library so to keep along with my other pictures how should I do it?
Thanks.

Atique:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you just selected the photo and hit the Delete key the photo will only be deleted from the gallery and not the library. You need to use the CommandOptionDelete key combination to move the photo out of the web gallery and into the iPhoto trash bin. Then empty the trash bin via the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu option. That will delete the photo from your library and your HD.

Send to Web Gallery "picture viewing order"?

Is there a way to keep the viewing order of pictures I send from my iPhone via the Send to Web Gallery so the pictures show in the order I sent them and not that the last picture I sent is shown first?
I want the images to be viewed in the order I sent them so the 1st picture is the 1st picture on the web page and the 2nd one sent is the 2nd, etc...
Right now the last picture I send is 1st, etc...
I made a title picture I want to make sure is always the 1st one.
Thanks
tj

Bummer. Would be nice if you are doing something on the road, like Macworld, and I send pictures to the Web Gallery, that they would be in the order I send them so they get a visual picture of my timeline there at the show. Now showing the last day first. Bummer.
Thanks

How do I edit web gallery pictures uploaded by guests?

I used iPhoto to post to a Mobileme gallery. I invited others to upload their snapshots. Now that there are new photos from others, I'd like to edit arrange and label them. Are they going to be synced with me iphoto database? How else can I control this content on my web gallery?

I was too impatient. Just a few minutes later, iPhoto synced the uploaded photos and I can edit, crop, label and arrange!

Original size in web-gallery

When I send my photoes to my webgallery they change in size.
Is there a way where I can keep the large files in the web-gallery? My friens want to be able to print the photoes..

It appears that if a photo's dimensions are larger than 3054 pixels in the maximum dimension it will be resized down to that size when uploaded to a web gallery. For photos with sizes smaller than that the only change is in the file size which is equivalent to Photoshop saving it at a jpg quality level of 8 or 8 out of 12. It would still print OK for all but the very large prints.

Web Gallery created in Bridge not displaying first picture correctly on a Unix server

Hi Guys, Am really stumped by a problem that has surfaced after moving from a Windows web hosting server to a Unix hosting platform. The Web Galleries created in both Bridge CS4 and CS6 display and operate as expected on the Windows server. However, having moved to a Unix hosting platform, I observe an odd behavior when going to the Web Gallery page. When the gallery loads, it displays the first image offset. This is always the top left hand quarter of the picture, offset to show in the bottom left hand corner, leaving the top left and right quarters and the bottom left quarter black (I use quarters to best describe the situation, though it really does seem as if the view port of the Gallery is indeed quartered for this first image).
If I click on the second image in the series, it appears full size. The same happens if I click on the "Play" button. If I return to the first image manually, it displays full size.
The phenomenon is apparent in Firefox 19.0.2, IE9, Opera and Chrome, all of the latest build.
Can anyone throw some light on why this phenomenon is occurring and better still, suggest a cure?
Grateful for all and any help anyone can give.
Cheers, Daviddhg

Hi Guys, This turned out to be a Unix server-side issue. Apparently the compression software being used by the ISP on this server was in some way incompatible. The ISP turned the compression off and the problem was cured.

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.

Optimum Size for Web Gallery

In trying to set up galleries that have quick view time, I'm trying to follow iPhoto advise and use a Medium sized photo for Web Galleries. iPhoto help sez:+When you send, print, or publish a photo from your iPhoto library, you need to choose the right size+. For me that would be Medium size.
However I can find no place to determine size. How can I choose the size I want to use?

smidi:
I believe that statement pertains to situation where you can control the size of the file to be used. However, in publishing a Web Gallery iPhoto determines the size. If you don't select the option to have viewers download the photos then the image size is 800 x 600 pixels. If you selected the download option then the full sized file is uploaded for viewer to download.
For emailing, if you use Mail, you will get a window which lets you select the size of image/file to send. For printing you want to use the largest size you can so you get the max resolution available.

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.
Regards,
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!

How do I get more than 20 pictures in my Web Gallery

I am making a web gallery with 162 photo's, but the "Refresh Preview" as well as the "Preview in Browser" only shows 20 pictures. In the galleries that I made before I had no problem with the amount of pictures. If anyone can show me what I should do to open this barrier, I would be very grateful,
thank you Nico Boink

The limit only applies to the preview. Generate the Gallery and then view it in a browser and you will see the full set of pictures.

Size and resolution of web gallery

Hello,
I have inserted a web gallery via a web widget and would like to adjust the size of the slideshow thumbnail and resolution of the images within the slideshow, is this possible?
The slideshow thumbnail is quite small and I understand that you can open the thumbnails for the enlarged images; however, I would like to enlarge the thumbnails by 1.5 times if possible.
Regarding the resolution, it seems like the images within the web gallery are pixelated, is there a way to fix this?
Thank you for your help,
grodr

grodr:
Another solution would be to add one of the photos in the web gallery to your page, size it to your specifications and then link it to the web gallery's URL in the Inspector/Link pane.
