What file size is used for "optimized" upload/download?

When I upload my photo files from Aperture (and previously from iPhoto) I routinely use the upload setting named "dowloading of optimized" files.  I know that this downsizes the files for faster upload/download, but still gives a file size acceptable for great onscreen presentation and for a resulting small print of someone downloads.  Can anyone tell what downsizing Aperture/iPhoto does in this case?  For example, 50% jpeg, email sized jpeg, etc.  Since Apple will kill the MobileMe galleries in June I have to switch to another photo presentation host.  For upload to such a host Aperture/iPhoto gives choices like 100% jpeg, 50% jpeg, etc.  What I want to do is end up with something similar to what I now get with the "optimized" setting.  Thank you.

You will note that I referenced both programs (iPhoto & Aperture) in my original message above, and I have posted in both forums.  Since both programs offer the same (at least on the surface) option of "optimized" to MobileMe galleries, one might assume that both use the same or a similar system.  Lengthly testing of my own is the "best" solution only if I can not find anyone who is knowledgeable about what these programs do in the upload.  It has been my sincere joy over many many years that I often find people on these forums who possess knowledge much greater than I.  As to the programs changing the algorithum at any time, I doubt that since this MobileMe function will disappear in June.  Seems like a strange time to make changes.

  • What file does ipod use for library and how do i access it?

    Hi.
    I almost put this in the ipod discussion but the question has to do with itunes as well...
    I have learned that itunes uses an xml file for the library, containing all song information and playlists (not sure about id3 tags for .wav, mp3) but when i looked at my data for the ipod i found no .xml files.
    Heres what happened and why i need this:
    unplugged the ipod after an osx reboot to winxp bootcamp hung. then i noticed the ipod was erased (or so i thought)
    Couldn't access any of the data on the ipod and hadnt a spare 80 gigs to back up my ipod.
    I didn't give up and after trying so many data recovery programs i got one to work and now i have what looks like all the songs back - with song titles and filenames - on my comp.
    I want my library back too. I want my hard wrought playlists and i want to know what songs i may be missing; I need to rebuild my 'library'.
    with the data i retrieved there is a folder called root, and if you follow and go to ipod control>Itunes there are a bunch of temp files and a large file called ipodcontrol and a couple files called playlist but those two were umm, empty. I dont know what any of this stuff is but if i knew how the ipod makes its library that would be a start in seeing if i can somehow get the library back. I know there is a way. I also am sure there are tons of people out there whose tracks have been erased after an auto update or unplug. You can get your music back! It would be so sweet to figure out how to reconstruct the library file too.

    I forgot to mention that for you people who have inadvertently erased your ipods, the data recovery program that worked the best for me was called R-Studio.
    So anyone know what file ipod uses for its internal library?

  • What is the method used for upload of  data

    Hi All,
    What is the method used for upload of  Data from excel spread sheets to SAP HR.

    can u plz give the list of country specific infotypes used for PA n OM Module.
    Thanks
    Archana

    Hi Archana,
    To Upload bulk data I think BDC is the best and effecient way.
    Regarding Infotypes we dont have any country specific Infotypes in OM & PA. In Payroll we do have according to country wise.
    I hope you had understood the point

  • Can a write-optimized DSO be used for Delta upload

    Hi,
    can any one please answer following..
    1. can a write optimized DSO be used for Delta upload?
    2. Does industry based content is available in BI Content ?
    Thanks&Regards
    Satya

    Hi,
    Write-Optimized DataStore does not support the image based delta, it supports request level delta, and you will get brand new delta request for each data load.
    Since write-optimized DataStore objects do not have a change log, the system does not create delta (in the sense of a before image and an after image). When you update data into the connected InfoProviders, the system only updates the requests that have not yet been posted.
    Write-Optimized Data Store supports request level delta. In order to capture before and after image delta, you must have to post latest request into further targets like Standard DataStore or Infocubes.

    I use SuperDuper for cloning my OSX volumes and it does not change the size of the destination partition to the size of the source partition.
    So, you can make the destination partitions size to your liking and the cloning will not change it afterwards.
    Keep in mind that SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner cannot clone a BootCamp Windows partition to a new harddisk, only OSX partitions.
    But Parallels doesn't need to have a Windows partitions but is mostly just two files plus the Parallels app on your OSX partition.
    And therefor it would be cloned with the rest of the OSX.

  • File size extremely high for .avi after render PE 9

    I'm very new to PE and have tried to learn quick to redact info (faces etc) in .avi files for a government agency. I was able to open the file (in the trial version) and make the track matte by dragging the original file to the timeline then dragging it again to the video 2 timeline for the top layer, Question 1) is this the same as copy and paste or am I doubling the size already? Anyway, I was able to get the matte and everything done. Now, to Render and save... I choose computer/avi again (I need to keep it the same) and it took 1 hr 45 min to render it, that seemed long to me but maybe not... but mainly the file size was then 100,883 kb! Starting with a 29.7 kb file. This is what my question is about....could this be right? I can't use it if this is what I get. So, here are the particulars as I got G-spot and looked it up, as per serveral suggestions I saw here. I'm trying to understand the CODEC info but I fear I have a ways to go before I can figure out what I did wrong. (This is my test computer, the future work would be done on a newer, better computer).  The videos I would be working with come from various sources and will vary in length but will probably all be a kind of avi.
    Intel Pentium processor 1600 mhz
    221 mhz, 2.00 gb ram
    Microsoft windows xp sp3
    video:
    length: 0:27.261
    frms:  817
    Kbps: 28770
    pic:  720x480
    codec: dvsd dvc/dy
    I appreciate any help you can give

    Thanks for you response and the information was very helpful. I was able to choose and output that gave me a good file size and I do want DV-AVI (I don't remember what I chose but it worked) but, I don't see an option for DV-AVI - is that a general DV output selection, because there seem to be numerous (AVCHD, NTSC, DV STANDARD) acronyms (I have tried to understand what each is) which do I want?

    For the use of Track Matte Keying, with say a Gaussian Blur, or maybe Moasic Effect, if you have not altered the In & Out Points, then just dragging the Asset to both Video 1 and Video 2 will work fine. If you HAVE adjusted the In & Out Points, you can just click-drag from the Source Monitor, where you set those In & Out Points, and all is good. The Copy/Paste is just another way to do it.
    As you are doing an "overlay," the output File Size will not be affected in any way. You are also limiting the Blur, or Effect on Video 2 to just the area "exposed" by the Track Matte, so the pixel count will not be altered.
    As Steve points out, the output CODEC in the AVI will determine the output File Size. File Size is basically determined by the Timeline's Duration and by the Bit-Rate of the output file. With DV-AVI, that Bit-Rate is pretty well set, and your Timeline determines the Duration. At ~ 13GB/hour, a DV-AVI will be pretty large, but that is the nature of the beast. Also, and as Steve points out, if you are going to do additional editing, and will be Importing that file into a New Project, DV-AVI is about as good, as it gets.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • What file size is a PDF?

    I receive lots of PDF files but I can't figure out what file size the creator used. If he used the smallest size setting, it wouldn't have a high enough resolution for professional printing would it?
    I have preflighted PDFs but can't figure out where it tells me if a PDF is the smallest file size or Press Quality.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Sorry peeps but I have a question that is at the beginning stages but I seem to need to re visit this area, can anyone PLEASE tell me how to print to pdf. I usually hit command-p and go to printer and set my dpi to 300 and than check custom so that my postcard will fit correctly save to my designated folder and let Acrobat do the rest...the reason I go this way is because I have to keep my file size as low as possible because I have to email my files to the printer. is there a sight or can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong..I start with a file at 6.63mb and after I print to pdf with the settings I said at the beginning and I wind up with 51.23kb PLEASE help!

  • HT4341 from the apple travel adapter kit what adapter do you use for thailand

    from the apple travel adapter kit what adapter do i use for thailand

    I've used Apple a few times in the past for 4x6s (with iPhoto) and was really happy with the quality. There are other things about the service that frustrate me though. The shipping time was all over the place. Sometimes it would only take a week or two, other times over a month. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Order Prints to work for iPhoto or Aperture anymore, so I'm looking for an alternative as well. Something that has an Aperture plug-in would be extra cool, if that exists...
    In the meantime, I've just been printing at Wal-Mart or the local camera shop (when they have a sale). The quality isn't as good -- less definition in the prints -- but the order is always ready to pick-up within a couple of hours at the most (which beats getting no prints at all through Apple's service). And the nice thing is, the pictures are printed and boxed in the order they're uploaded. None of this "we print the smallest files first, as they download" silliness from Apple that causes you to have to sort all of your photos again while referencing the images on your computer if you want to put them in chronological order. Does Apple really expect me to believe their printers are just waiting to print my order the split second each image is downloaded? There's no staging process involved whatsoever? Give me a break. I love Apple, but things like this are so backwards from the whole "it just works" mantra that they love to use. Sorry for the rant! I'm a little frustrated with Apple's printing services at the moment (as I'm sure you can tell).
    Anyway, you can always give your local Wal-mart a shot. Just do a small order and see how it turns out.

  • How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?

    How to get the file size (in bytes) for all files in a directory?
    The following code does not work. isFile() does NOT recognize files as files but only as directories. Why?
    Furthermore the size is not retrieved correctly.
    How do I have to code it otherwise? Is there a way of not converting f-to-string-to-File again but iterate over all file objects instead?
    Thank you

  • What Metadata Standard is used for Face Regions?

    Nice to see that LR6 now has support for Face Recognition and Face Regions. However, nowhere in the online help is it stated explicitly what metadata standards are used for the image regions.
    I would hope that as Adobe is a member of the Metadata Working Group, then LR6 is using the metadata standard specified by the MWG for image regions.

    It's the MWG.
    Within Lightroom itself, the face regions are recorded inside the catalogue and this data is associated with keywords.
    When you export a photo, unchecking the option Remove Person Info, the names are also written to the IPTC Extension Person Shown and the MWG Regions too.
    I suggest you export a photo as above and examine its metadata in the Advanced tab of Bridge's FIle Info dialog box, or in some other metadata tool.

  • My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

    My requirement is to update 3 valuesets daily based on data coming to my staging table. What is the API used for this and how to map any API to our staging table? I am totally new to oracle and apps. Please help. Thanks!

    Hi,
    You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
    You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
    What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
    You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
    - the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
    - the value set values and  description
    Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...

  • How to limit file size in LR for photomerge in PS5

    Is there a simple way to limit the file size of the photos selected in LR3 for a photomerge in PS5?
    I have found that without limiting the size, the panoramas generated are very large - 1GB or greater.
    I've found an work around by opening the photos in Bridge and then in Camera Raw where I can reduce the file size before using PS5 for photomerge.  After I've done this, it's a bit of a hassle to get the panorama back into LR3.  The benefit of this approach is that it speeds up the processing significantly and helps downstream with any subsequent processing since the files are just large and not ginormus. 
    If this isn't possible, this seems like a good idea for LR4.
    Thanks, Chris

    A tip of mine that Martin Eveing includes in his Lr2 and Lr3 books is as follows:
    1. In Lr, selct the images you wnat to included in pano
    2. From Edit in Ps menu choose "Open as Layers". The images will all open as layers in CS5
    3. In CS5 choose Image Size from Edit menu and downsize images
    4. In CS5 choose Select all Layers (Cmd+Option+A or Ctrl+Alt+A)
    5. In CS5 Edit menu choose Auto Align.
    The rest of the process should be self explantory
