Welcome banner image size - 600x300?

I looked more carefully at the brand new guidelines for "Creating Your iTunes U Site" today.
While Chapter 3 of the iTunes U Admin Guide of May 2006 said that the Welcome page banner should be no more than 750 pixels wide, these May 07 guidelines now say the banner should be 600 by 300 pixels.
That's quite a change -- and, moreover, that's a size that schools listed in the iTunes U store aren't using. The 5 schools I checked (Bowdoin, NJIT, Penn State, etc.) are using the old 'no more than 750 pixels' guideline.
Why should we use up 300 pixels of precious height for a banner?
Is that really the new 'strongly suggested' dimension for the Welcome page banner, or might it be a typo, or ...?

Duncan Bernhardt discussed this when Apple updated the templates.

Basically, it's to make room for the links box.

ITunes U Banner Image Size?

On iTunes U, do you know if 750x250 is the size the banner has to be, or is that just a recommended size? can it be less tall than 250?
From what I have been able to determine, if we screw this up, it's a pain to get reset.
Thanks for any help on this matter.

Because of the link box to the right, I prefer 650 x 200. Adjusting it is a pain only if you have a bunch of existing pages. (It pays to experiment before populating it {grin} ).
Change existing pages one by one. Change the template for future pages.
Existing pages: From your initial Welcome page, click on the Edit page link and look for the tiny (tiny, tiny ... {smile} ) button in the upper left corner. If your banner has a lot of background details, it can take a moment to spot it. Click on it and you can upload a new image.
Changing the initial Welcome page did not change subsequent pages built from the Welcome page template. That's where the "hassle" comes in. You have to edit each page and replace the icon in the same manner as the initial one.
Don't forget to change the template also so that future pages will look right. To do that, click the template page name and then "Add Content". From there you can see the "change image" icon in the upper left corner.

I broke my banner image :-(

While attempting to update my "welcome" banner image (the one accross the top of the welcome page), I made a mistake so that the file I told it to upload doesn't exist. The result is that the banner image now displays a big red X.
The little pencil icon to allow me to upload a new image does not appear in the big red X, so I cannot fix my error.
It is my understanding that Apple has to do something on its side to "reset" my account to fix this. Will you reset this banner image for me?
Cheers!

How I did this:
I copied the path to the folder containing the image into the File Open Dialog Box and clicked Open. It went to the correct folder, and I think I clicked Open again without selecting the file. Therefore it attempted to upload a folder name instead of a file.
In attempting to replicate the steps leading to the error, I discover that it must not have happened as I originally thought. Unless I select a file, the dialog box will not close. Ergo, I must have clicked a file. The ones listed next to the one I tried to upload are a PNG file (perfectly legit, though the wrong size) and a Word document. I think I must have clicked the word document, which of course is an invalid image file format.
Make sense?
Cheers!

Spry Photo Gallery Image Size via CSS

Hello!
I´ve been customizing the spry photo gallery for a couple of time, but got my little problem when viewing it on a mobile phone. When you load up the pictures with a size of 450 x 300 px for example, put up the right xml file with it´s width and height, so the gallery shows the pictures in that size. So what I want to do is that you can specify the image size with css depending on the device you´re watching the site with. There is div in the css called "mainImage" where the size is in %. When you change it to 75% for example. The pictures are correctly shown with 75% of it´s original size, but the outline (grey background) is still in 100%. When you make this grey background transparent it´s still there and moves the caption down. I guess there have to be done some changes within the SpryImageViewer.js, but I just know very little things about JavaScript. Do you have any clues how to change this to specify the image size via CSS?
Thank you for your help!!!
Kind regards,
Joerg

I see you are still using Spry 1.5. Have you considered upgrading to
Spry 1.6.1?
Also your XML is broken, if you open up your xml in a normal standards
complaint browser such as firefox, you will see that it doesn't render
a normal tree view as it would do with other xml files. So i suggest
checking those errors out.
Its mainly because you forgot to close your starting tag of the
gallerys node. (<gallery
base = ""
background = "#FFFFFF"
banner = "#F0F0F0"
text = "#000000"
link = "#0000FF"
alink = "#FF0000"
vlink = "#800080"
before your xml starts.

Web Banner Image Fade

I'm an experienced Java Architect with no experience of JavaFX. I'm trying to develop a proof of concept Flash-style web banner to see if it is feasible to replace existing Flash elements on my client's site with JavaFX elements, thus removing the need for a costly proprietary RIA toolkit.
Now the banner in question takes a physical URL from an XML document, loads a set number (also configured in a simple XML document) of images horizontally across the banner. It fades each image out independently and once invisible, it replaces that image with another random image from the URL and fades back in (ensuring it doesn't already exist in the other visible images). Whilst doing this, a quote is displayed across the images in a colour set by the XML file, and this quote fades in and out as well, changing to another quote from a set list, and fading back in once the new quote is found.
Now I'm sure I can figure out some of the more typical functionality that I come across with Java, C++, etc. on a daily basis, such as interacting with an XML document, and loading images from URLs (perhaps), but the actual timing, fading, working loading new images and quotes at the right time, etc. is all new as I tend to develop business systems and not applications with visual effects. So help is needed on how to best go about doing this. I've begun with a very basic attempt at a Stage and tips on going forward would be appreciated.
Also, as a side note, in JavaFX how would I extend the Stage and Scenes, and any other object, essentially, and then load them as variables...? remember I'm an OO-oriented Java and C++ programmer, so I understand inheritance, but cannot seem to find the right syntax in JavaFX after an hour working on this basic Flash-eliminating challenge.
My code is below:
package ribbon;
import javafx.animation.Interpolator;
import javafx.animation.KeyFrame;
import javafx.animation.Timeline;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
//capture the dynamic width and height of the scene
var width: Number = bind scene.width;
var height: Number = bind scene.height;
var quote: Text = Text {
    font: Font {
        size: 16
    x: 10,
    y: 30,
    fill: Color.RED
    opacity: bind angle
    content: "Interesting quote goes here..."
var scene: Scene = Scene {
    fill: Color.BLACK
    content: [
        Rectangle {
            x: 0,
            y: bind height - 30
            width: bind width,
            height: 25
            arcHeight: 5
            arcWidth: 5
            fill: Color.BLACK
            opacity: 0.5
        quote,
var angleStart = 1.0;
var angle = angleStart;
var fade = Timeline {
    keyFrames: [
        KeyFrame {
            time: 0s
            values: angle => angleStart tween Interpolator.LINEAR
        KeyFrame {
            time: 3s
            values: angle => 0.2 tween Interpolator.LINEAR
    autoReverse: true
    repeatCount: 1000
var stage = Stage {
    title: "Photo Ribbon"
    width: 680
    height: 100
    scene: scene
fade.play();
stage;Thanks in advance.

If the banner image is not displaying, it is either not in an acceptable web file format (optimized for web as jpg, gif or png). Or it is corrupted. Or the path to the image file on server is broken.
It's impossible to say more without a link to your problem page.

How do you change image size in the title window?

I just changed operating systems to Windows 7, which meant that I had to re install Premiere Pro CS4. I am now working on a 64 bit system. Might not make any difference, but thought I would give you the specifics just in case. When I pull up the title window to add a title to my clip, the image is about the size of a postage stamp. How do I increase the size of the image in that window?

Thank you again for responding Hunt. I did find out what what was happening.
I had to reinstall the program on my computer. I just upgraded to Windows 7, and I now have a 64 bit system. When I booted up PPCS4, I assumed that my settings would be the same as they were before when I had Vista installed and didn't bother to check them when I started a new project. Well, they were not. I also added a TV tuner card to my computer. I now can watch HD TV on my computer. I suppose that it is possible that somehow PPCS4 noticed that, and set my default settings to HD, rather than NTSC DV. I just merrily went along clicking the OK button and started editing. When I start a new project now, I select NTSC DV and the Title window works just fine, and exactly the way I expect it to.
I just received Jeff Bellune's book Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 in the mail and will be totally immersed in Encore studies today. With all of his children, I don't see how he had time to write it, but I'm glad that he did. I also ordered a book entitled Designing Menus with Encore DVD. I know that it was written for an earlier version than CS4, but I will trust what you said about that. Many things are the same with some minor variations due to upgrades in the program. The basic ideas don't change, but how you accomplish them can, and usually do over time.

Subject: how do you change image size in the title window?
Welcome to the forum.
That is an odd one. The Title should be the same Frame Size as your Project/Sequence. What is it's Frame Size? Also, are you perhaps doing a Title based on an older Template, that was done for a different Frame Size?
What happens if you choose Title>New Title>Default Still?
Good luck,

Maximum image size with createImage() in applet

hi,
I am making a simple Horizontal scrolling stocks ticker. I made an offscreen image with all the companies,prices etc on the image and just change the x position of the image. My problem is that when the data increases the applet fails to create the offscreen image.Giving the following error:
com.ms.com.ComFailException: (0x80004005) Unspecified error

When the image width goes above 32767 this error props up. Also even if the image size is less than 32767, while scrolling if mouse or any other window comes over the applet the whole applet starts behaving funny i.e. the image scrolling on it disappears or gets converted into a rainbow.
Please advise . Any help/comment is welcome. Thanx in advance .

I'm having the same problem, did you ever find a solution for this?

PictureLibrarySlideshowWebPart - Change image size to original size

Hi,
I'm using the PictureLibrarySlideshow Web part as image slider in the banner of a SharePoint website. Apparently this web part changes the image size so it is smaller than its original size.
Is there a simple solution to solve this and resize the image? I found some Jquery solutions but they did not fix the problem.
Thanks!

Hi
Ward010 ,
In Slideshow web part, picture is initialized with field value that contains the Url of Web image (EncodedAbsWebImgUrl field). Unfortunately it is not supported to configure in web part what image
type (original, web or thumbnail) should be displayed in Slideshow The solution that demonstrated below allows to display original images instead of web images in Slideshow web part.
In order to specify original images, method overriding for picture initialization is used:
function SlideshowObjectInitializer() {
ShowPic = (function(ShowPicOrig) {
      return function() {
           var ssObj = arguments[0]; //SlideShow object
           var curPicIdx=ssObj.index; //current picture index
           ShowPicOrig.apply(this, arguments); //call original ShowPic
           //apply some changes to display original picture in SlideShow control
           ssObj.image.src = ssObj.linkArray[curPicIdx]; //display original image instead of web image
           //change picture & container size to auto instead of fixed (by default web image size is used)
           ssObj.image.setAttribute('height','100%');
               ssObj.image.setAttribute('width','100%');
               var cell = ssObj.cell;
               cell.style.width = 'auto';
               cell.style.height = 'auto';
               cell.style.display = '';
               var pcell = ssObj.cell.parentNode;
           pcell.style.width = 'auto';
               pcell.style.height = 'auto';
})(ShowPic);
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(SlideshowObjectInitializer, 'imglib.js');
Save      JavaScript code to the file, for example in SlideshowObjectInitializer.txt      and upload it to SiteAssets Library
Add      CEWP on page where Slideshow web part is located and in the Content Editor      tool pane, under Content Link property,
type /SiteAssets/SlideshowObjectInitializer.txt

Feather radius for selection depending on the image size

Greetings everyone,
I have a question about setting the feather radius for a selection depending on the image size. I'd like make the edge in the resultant layer mask have roughly the 'same' feather appearance for varying image sizes.
For files below 2000 pixels I would set a feather radius of 0.2
For files above 2000 pixels I would set a feather radius of 0.3
However, I started working with 4000-10000 pixel images and I was wondering about the radius for those images.
Is there a more 'scientific' method I could follow? Any thoughts welcome
Many thanks

You would need to use Photoshop scripting to do that. Also using number of Pixels might not be what you want to use. While number pixel is an absolute number pixels you have have no size information till there is a DPI resolution involved. At 300 DPI 300 pixels are 1" in size at 72 DPI 300 pixels are 4.16 inches in size.
A conditional action is not possible adobe conditional action support but is possible with the downloadable script Siva's Contitional Action

What image size for full page photo?

What image size is required to be able to create a single full page photo in an iPhoto book?
I shoot in RAW and use Lightroom for most of my photography. However, for family pictures, I'd like to create an iPhoto book. I exported from Lightroom as 100% quality jPEGs / at 320 dpi / small side 2000 pixels -- but I still get a triangle warning that this is not big enough for a single photo page. What dimensions/resolution is required to put one photo on a page?
By the way, would you recommend jPEG? I tried TIFF and while those file sizes much larger, I still get warning triangle?
Finally, when I re-import to the new size that someone hopefully will recommend, how do I delete my old (too small) images in iPhoto?

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
In iPhoto '08 & '09 the warning comes on if a photo is below 180 dpi - so for 8.5 x 11 you need a minimum photo size of 1530 x 1980 pixels - and remember is you zoom or crop the photo in the book the area you actually printing must be that - not the original sized photo
The format of the photo (TIFF or JPEG) makes no difference in the warning symbol only the pixel size

PSE 9: Image size is printing/saving larger than what I selected.

I was sent some pdf files for a banner for my kids' upcoming birthday party. When I open one of the images it said that the image size was 7"x7" (it's a 7" circle) so I left it as is. The only thing I changed on the sign was I changed the color of a number and two letters from pink to blue and that was it. I then saved the image and gave it a new name. When I look at it, upload it to the print shop or print it from my home computer the image is no longer 7" but is now 8" (the circle) and it larger than the rest of the banner pieces. I have no idea how to get it to print/upload at the original 7" size.

I opened this image in PSE, and the diameter measures 6" on my equipment. Be that as it may, if you want to reduce the size try the following:
Go to Window and check rulers to make them visible
Open picture file
Duplicate background layer. Shut off visibility of the background layer by clicking on its eye icon. Work on the background copy layer.
Access the move tool, and using one of the corner handlles drag towards the center to make image smaller. Commit.
Flatten image

Does reducing image size reduce image quality?

i 'm new to AI and also to this forum.
I know that enlarging and image can reduce image quality.
I'd like to know if reducing the image size (not in pixels, but in actual size),
will reduce the quality?
i have a Ai file that's 600x300, and need to reduce it to 300x120 my websie.
Before I convert it to a web format, I want to reduce this large Ai file to 300x120.
Will i still lose quality even if it's still an Ai file, before converting to web format???
thanks!!!!!

No it is however best to use save for the web to do so for the best optimization.
keep in mind the only lose in quality will be if some one grabbed it off of the website and tried to enlarge it or view it at a larger display size.
What you want to do is the best way of reducing the size.

New Image Size and Resolution in CC

Hi there.
Ok, maybe i'm missing something, but how do i reduce the ppi's of a given image in the Photoshop CC? Changing it in the image size, in the Resolution field, it acomplish nothing. It logs an entry in the History panel, but nothing changes in the picture. Did Adobe changed how this works, or it's just a bug?
Thank you.

Try setting to real-world measurement, like inches or cm.
Hi Charles, i think that change in cm/mm/in it's the only way to change the image ppi (in my case save/resample it to 108ppi). Can you confirm that this is correct?
Anyway when i go to image size (new panel of CC) the w/h are:
1) grey and always set in pixel with resample flagged.
2) always set in inches with resample NON-flagged (also if my ruler unit is in Pixel).
(and actually that is not new behavior. CS6 behaved same way when width and height were set to percent)
In CS6 and CC i never seen w/h in percent - where is my error?
Many thanks!

Save Image size setting in Save for Web

I'm using Save for Web (CS3) and scaling the file to different sizes with "scale image". I'm wanting to use the same scale settings for many images but when I save the pre-set the image size settings don't get saved. I'm wanting to use it as part of an action but the setting wont stick. Any suggestions? Alternative work flows?

That's never been saved as part of the S4W presets. Bloody annoying.

How do I set the image size in PS touch to print to my Epson printer w ithout losing any of the picture. PS Touch appears to be showing pixels and not inches, how can I covert it toshow inches?

I am using PS Touch from my tablet . I am importinga photo from an SD card . When all editing is completed I then send it wireless from the tablet via Epson I print to the printer. It all works great except that part of the photo at each end is cut off and does not print. I am printing on 8.5 x11 paper.
How do I convert the image size in PSTouch frm pixels to inches?

Epson's iPrint has always been an oddball. It will always "zoom in" on an image to print even if you have the proper dimensions and resolution set for actual print size. I think other users have reported this, at least on Android.
You can't have PS Touch show inches instead of pixels at this time but you can use an online website to find out what you need to fit within a particular resolution. (Google "pixels to inches calculator".)
