\What Causes Different Photo Sizes?

I have iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424).
My photos have vastly different file sizes. This is surprising since I am using the same camera. When I checked the info button, I noticed that the ones with more bytes have a bigger size. For example, a photo with 936 KBs shows a size of 1536 X 2048. Another one with 1.2 MBs shows the same size as the previous one - 1536 x 2048, even though it has more bytes. (Shouldn't these two fotos have different sizes since they have a much different number of bytes?)
But another photo which is 4.8 MBs, much more bytes than the previous two, shows a far bigger size of 4320 x 3240, about double the size of the previous two.
I'm not intentionally changing the size of photos. As a matter of fact, I don't even know how to do it. So what is causing different photos with the same camera to have different sizes? (I checked day photos versus night fotos but there was no pattern that would explain it).

Two different things
Pixel dimensions do not relate to JPEG file size due to the JPEG compression. If you were working with uncompressed photos like TIFF it would
The differences in pixel dimensions is set by the camera. Your camera (what ever it is) has multiple user set photo dimensions

What is different "init size 1 GB ext 1 GB" and "init size 1 GB ext 1 G

Hi all,
What is different of performance (and backup) between
"init size 1 GB ext 1 GB Max 10 GB : 10 Files "
and
"init size 2 GB ext 2 GB Max 20 GB : 5 Files "
in Oracle10 database?
Thank in advance,
Kor

Hi,
I guess you are concerned with "Bigfile Tablespaces".
Oracle lets you create bigfile tablespaces. This allows Oracle Database to contain tablespaces made up of single large files rather than numerous smaller ones. This lets Oracle Database utilize the ability of 64-bit systems to create and manage ultralarge files. The consequence of this is that Oracle Database can now scale up to 8 exabytes in size.
An Oracle database can contain both bigfile and smallfile tablespaces. Tablespaces of different types are indistinguishable in terms of execution of SQL statements that do not explicitly refer to datafiles.
Bigfile tablespaces can significantly increase the storage capacity of an Oracle database. Smallfile tablespaces can contain up to 1024 files, but bigfile tablespaces contain only one file that can be 1024 times larger than a smallfile tablespace. The total tablespace capacity is the same for smallfile tablespaces and bigfile tablespaces. However, because there is limit of 64K datafiles for each database, a database can contain 1024 times more bigfile tablespaces than smallfile tablespaces, so bigfile tablespaces increase the total database capacity by 3 orders of magnitude. In other words, 8 exabytes is the maximum size of the Oracle database when bigfile tablespaces are used with the maximum block size (32 k).
Bigfile tablespaces are intended to be used with Automatic Storage Management or other logical volume managers that support dynamically extensible logical volumes and striping or RAID.
Hope this concludes you.

What causes my photos to disappear off of iPhoto. They turn into ghost squares and disappear

My iphoto file has started turning my photos into llittle squares and the photos disappear. I only need to scroll over photos and they just turn into squares and the photos are gone. I have lost some very import family photos that may not be replaced.

Best bet. Restore from your backup from just before this started happening
Or back up you iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your iPhoto library

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

Different photo file sizes when copied back from external HD

I backed up some photos to an external HD (80GB, same size as in my iMac at the time), with Mac OS Standard format, under Tiger. The internal HD crashed, taking much unbacked-up data with it to the digital beyond.
Now with my new Leopard iMac (and wisdom acquired by experience), I have noticed a different file size on the different drives after copying the photos back.
Other posts have pointed out differences in memory allocation / block size as the culprits, however, can that make the large difference seen in my case?
Example 1 is a Tiff file of 8.2 MB on the external HD, which shrinks to 6,8 MB when copied to the 500 GB iMac drive (taken from the Get Info window)
Example 2 is a JPEG which shrinks from 1.2 MB to 552 KB when copied over.
Examples 1 & 2 also shrank to 6.8 MB and 576 KB respectively when copied from the 80GB external drive to another, 320GB external FAT32 drive.
So my question is: Am I somehow losing something with the shrinking files? Does memory allocation/block size difference make that big a difference?
Thanks for your help.

I think I ought to mention that I also have a new laptop and have experienced file sharing permission issues with some applications. Might this be part of the problem? (Although everything seems to be properly owned!)

What is the maximum size of an image height (in pixels) that supports Muse? I noticed that if the photo is too high, reduce the Muses. thanks

If you place in Muse - an image with either height or width larger than 2048 pixels - Muse scales the image down proportionately, limiting the larger dimension to 2048.
However, if you want to use the placed image at its original size, you can scale the image up to desired size either by dragging the resizing handles or by entering Height and Width values in the Control Strip on top. After that, go to the Assets panel and locate the image in there, then right click that image in Assets panel and choose "Import Larger Size". That would bring back the lost image information from the original image.
Hope this gives you clarity on what you wanted to know.

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. I was given the choice of small, medium or large the first time I took a picture. Now I have no idea how to change it to medium. Can anyone help?

I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. The first time I took a pic it asked if I wanted smalll, medium or large and listed the pixels. I chose small but am now finding that is too small. Can anyone help me set it to medium now? I can't find any setting for that. I'm a newby to iPhones and have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks for any help you can offer.

By "sending" do you mean sending email?
If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
To my knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

Photo size and uploading to Apple

I'm in the process of making a quite large iPhoto book for my SIL for her b'day. The photos are a compiltion from many of mine, and others sent to me by family members. They are all different sizes, resolution, color and B/W.
After getting them organized, doing a bit of fixing on PS, I now am ready to get them into iPhoto.
Is it wise to take them all into Lightroom where I can do an easy batch change of the resolution? I have read where they should be around 300. It is easy to change them and the test prints I did at home looked ok, even on the small ones that aren't too big to start with. On the export menu of Lightroom, I have the option of stating whether I want them to be exported at JPG, Tiff etc., and I can change the resolution and photo size too.
I probably would export them as JPG, 300 res. and not change their size. Is this ok for the iPhoto books?
Also, if they are of a higher resolution, I assume it will take quite a while to upload them to Apple even with high speed fiberoptic cable internet service.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks, Allie

Allie:
DO NO USE Lightroom as it messes up the metadata and makes the files not useable in iPhoto. You do not have to preprocess the files to set the dpi to 300 specifically. The only important feature of the file is the pixel dimensions. If the pixel dimensions are large enough as you state you can leave them as is. iPhoto will fit them into the frame you choose and the dpi will be determined that way. No matter what size the files are the book is converted into a pdf file for uploading and printing. My last book of nearly 100 pages came in at approx. 25MB.
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.

Photo Size

Is there anyway you can change the size of iphoto's photo's.
When i upload them from my camera no matter what size i have the photo size on my camera it always makes them the same size, and they are kinda small and was wondering if anyone knew a way to change the import or export size of a photo once being in iphoto ?

Tyler
When you import a pic into iPhoto it does two things:
1. It copies the file into the iPhoto Library Folder - and stores it in the ORIGINALS folder.
2. Then it makes a thumbnail and stores that in the DATA folder.
You keep looking in the Data folder, so you keep seeing the thumbnails.
However, you should not be looking in the iPhoto Library Folder at all. *It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss*
Do your work in the iPhoto Window. Everything you need to do can be done via the iPhoto Window. There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Rolls in the iPhoto Window (View -> Film Rolls) correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
So. Forget about the Data folder.

Photo Sizes - Standards

Fifty Fast Digital Photo Techniques ... In this boook there is "somewhere" a list of Standard Photo Sizes. Since my aging bones cannot find it, would some kind person help out. Walgreens and Shutterfly say they both make 4X6, 5X7, 8X10 and Wallet (size unkown). These sizes are each in a different category according to the "factor 2" rule. I am making different sizes of the same picture and want to use the most efficient sizes ... get the gist of this? There are 200 pictures to be put in 4 or 5 different sizes.

Hi Kurt
This puzzles me too.
How do you know you are saving a photo at 600dpi with 7x5 dimensions? Where is the 7x5 part stored - meta data in a particular application?
I've experimented with a variety of images in my iPhoto library which only contains files in .jpg format. It doesn't make any sense to me but what seems to be happening is that if the longest side of the image is >= 600 pixels then Pages scales the image to be 300pt on that side.
Pages appears to use 1 point as it's smallest internal measurement.
If the image is < 600 pixels on the longest side then it scales the image to be one pixel per point.
Why 300pt? I've no idea and it might be entirely random. I note however that the number is exactly half the 600dpi resolution of my printer.
I'm not sure that 600 pixels is the precise threshold where it scales to 300pt but it is my guess with the images that I had to play with.
I don't know if that is of any help.

What causes banding in Color Gradients?

Using CS6, I created a sky gradient on a new layer, then imported some photos to other layers for a composite. Then I noticed horizontal banding of varying widths in the sky area of the gradient. When I use the Move Tool to move the gradient layer around, the bands move along in a fixed position, so it's not my monitor. When I Option-click on the gradient layer eyeball icon to make just that layer visible, there is no banding on the screen, just a smooth gradient as it should be.
I have never noticed this happening before. What causes it and what can I do about it? Thanks.

Are you absolutely sure it isn't a display issue? I tried to produce banding after an earlier reply, so as to see just what difference I'd see at different bit depths. I change just one channel by one number from foreground to background, and ran gradients right across my 30 inch Dell Ultrasharp, and couldn't see any problems at any bit depth. I didn't try saving out to JPG and reloading, or reducing the file to Indexed colour to lower bit depth still further, but I was reasonably sure that I would see a problem after doing so.

IPhoto exaggerated photo size when burning to DVD.

When trying to burn about 600 photos to a DVD from iPhoto, iPhoto states 2000gbs is needed. After several restarts of both software and computer same issue persists. We even tried to burn just one photo, that stated that 2094.18gbs were needed.. Any ideas what can cause this exagerrated file size issue?

The issue was resolved on its own after a couple of more tries. Still not sure what caused it, but everything is working properly at the momment.

Enhanced Podcasts - opitmal photo sizes

The Nano, 4G and 5G iPods have a different screen sizes, so what's the best size for the pictures in an Enhanced Podcast?
Also, what format is best to avoid re-compression? -- Jpeg?
Thanks!

I started this post thinking the 4G and nano's ratios were the same, but now I've learned different! The 5G and nano resolutions have the same ratio, ie. a 320x240 picture scaled for the nano will still fill the screen. AND, I believe I ran tests earlier that showed that a picture at a 4:3 ratio will still fill an iPod color 4G screen with no black edges (I believe the left and right edges are chopped off.)
Anyway, the "perfect" solution would be to have three different sets of media (like this guy http://www.ipodsubwaymaps.com/) to prevent re-compression, but outside of that, if this is photos (not map info which has to be pixel perfect) create one 4:3 picture that will match either the nano's or 5G's native resolution. I'm not even certain if you should consider the 4G since, when I last checked, you couldn't get the artwork of an enhanced podcast to stay on the screen, so no one on those pods would see it anyway (unless Apple updates the firmware to handle this one day).
To answer your other question, I believe any image you offer is going to be recompressed by iTunes to show on the iPod, so start with a nice lossless format so the algorithm has a good source to sample from, like PNG.
