What's the best size for photos?

What's the optimum image size for the iPod Nano? I'd like to transfer images as small as possible.

I believe if you are only transferring the images and not the full-resolution photos, iTunes does the optimization for viewing so the pics will be small. You have a choice within the iTunes preferences.

What is the best software for photos

FIRST TIME I USED A BLOG. NEED YOUR HELP NOT SURE WHAT PHOTO SOFTWARE I NEED .I HAVE A NIKON D3200 .MACBOOK PRO 15 INCH.WOULD LOVE TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE BETTER PHOTO AND USE THE PHOTO FOR LARGE PRINTS IN OUR HOME AS ART WORK.AS WELL AS PHOTO OF OUR CHILDERN.

Terence and daikambu65 addressed already the software options. But your original questions asks about taking photos:
would love to learn how to take better photo and use the photo for large prints in our home as art work.as well as photo of our childern.
This makes me think, you have not yet taken many photos and just bought a new camera. If that is right, I'd recommend to focus on learning how to take good photos first. Even the best software cannot help much, if the photo has been taken badly. Image processing software can turn a very good photo into a perfect photo, but poor photos will never be fit to be framed, even with the best software applied.
First, try to find out what your camera can do and how to use it. Explore the effects of the available light on the subjects and the depth of field, how to focus on the eyes of a person. Explore, how your photos will change due to the perspective - when I am taking photos of little children or animals, for example, I'll go down on my knees, to be able to take the photo eye to eye and not from above. For photos of buildings I try to find a viewpoint, that will show parallel lines in the building also parallel in the photos. One way to learn how to take good photos is to look at professional photos and compare them to what you are seeing when looking through the viewfinder. Observe, how the photos have been cropped to attract the attention to details, how the light enhances the details, how shapes and colors are used.
If you're new to all this you might find iPhoto - which comes free with your Mac - a good place to start. It's easy to use and covers all the basics.
I second Terence's suggestion. iPhoto is a great way to get started with digital photography. I used iPhoto from day one it came out, and only switched to Aperture, when Aperture 3 was available. iPhoto will help you to keep your photos organized in a library and provides a set of easy to use tools for the most commonly required tools to touch up your photos. Straighten the horizon, enhance the contrast, sharpen the image, crop the photo to the relevant section, retouch minor blamishes. This will cover most of the corrections you will need.
And once you know, what kind of post processing and database structure you really need and want, you can easily switch from iPhoto to Aperture, because both programs are sharing the same photo library format. I am still using both applications in turns on the same library.

What is the best size for using a graphic as my homepage?

I am building my website in iWeb
My graphic designer is going to send me a graphic that I want to use as my homepage graphic - I will input some text.
He keeps asking me what size graphic I want (he charges by size)
If this means file size is my answer 72dpi/ppi = the most efficient?
What size should image be from graphic designer? in inches? in pixels? in KB and MB?
Is GIF format is best?
I want this to be nearly the full page size. It will be in Black Red and White (the white being a bright white, the red a deep almost crimson)
I'm a novice. Need good advice for placing this graphic into iWeb as my homepage... Mahalo ~!~

According to Apple, the width of most webpages is 980 pixels. If you request that your graphic designer make a JPEG image of approximately that width, you can then use this free, online tool to reduce its file size without affecting its perceptual quality:
http://www.jpegmini.com
If the image appears too slowly in a browser, you could reduce its file size further (with a loss of quality) via the Preview app:
Preview 5.0 Help: Reducing an image’s file size
Also see the option in iWeb's Preferences “Optimize images on import.”

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

You are asking two different questiions:
1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

Have Pixma MG2120. What is the best paper for water resistant photos?

I have a Pixma MG2120. What is the best paper for water resistant photos?

Hi neuend1,
While the ChromaLife100 inks (included with the PIXMA MG2120) in combination with our genuine Canon photo paper, will provided basic protection against humidity, we do not recommend direct moisture exposure to the image. If the image will be displayed in an environment that demands water resistance, I recommend protecting your finished print behind glass or another airtight display.

What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

Are you talking about strictly burning an already put-together slideshow or composing one and then burning it?
My all time favorite slide show maker is Photo to Movie; you can then burn it from there or get it into iMovie and/or iDVD for the "finishing" touch. My favorite burn software is Toast, although you can use iMovie, iDVD, and Finder as well.

What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library?

The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file. A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5 x 5 photo at 180 DPI. This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.
So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

What's the best photograph for a no background image?

I am about to photograph some products and would like to make a set up where I can photograph each of the products in the same setting/lighting. Then, when I go to open/edit them in PhotoshopCS4, I can take out the background and have just the image. Then, I can place that image ontop of any background I want. There is one bad thing. Some of these have a clear top where you can see thru them. Does or will that make a difference?
I want to set it up like they do for the weather on television, have a blue background and erase all of the blue showing. Then the only thing showing in the end is the digital background that was added in by computer and the weatherman(unless he's wearing a blue tie, in which case you can see the info through him). But my question still stands, what is the best setting for this and/or background color, how should the photographs be taken and then opened and edited(removing the background) using PhotoshopCS4?
We have a lighting set up, a 30" x 30" x 30" light tent setup, 3 lights with Pro Light Reflectors(one on the left, one on the right and one on top), 1 white and 1 black background and a box to place the images on. I'm using a Nikon D100.
Attached in a photo example.
This was taken with the black background and you can see the black through the bottle. I erased all of the surrounding black, but the dark shades still show on the sides.
Any help will be appreciated.
Sean

The whole point is that these photographs will be used for the book, manuals, magazines, ads... The backgrounds will not always be the same. That's my main problem. I am trying to figure out a way for the glass of the bottles to be "glass" images or "see through" so that when the photograph is placed on a background of, let's say, flowers, the flowers would show through. The edges of the glass are still solid and the flowers would not show thru them, but...
Is this type of thing possible for printing quality photographs?
Note - In the attched photo, it can be seen that the black background can be seen the plastic cap.

What is the best laptop for Photoshop Elements 10 ?

I have HP Pavilion g6 Notebook,i5-245M 2.5GHZ, 4 GB mwmory, 64-bit Operating system window 7, Radeon Graphics, Eidtior not working , I get error message ( Unable to continue because of hardware or system error,Sorry,but this error in unercoverable).
So I want to give this one to my son, and I want to bay new One for me,
but i do not want to have same Error with my new Laptop,
So any one know what is the best Laptop for PhotoShop Elements 10 ?
Thanks for Helping me .

I would suggest a machine with a multi-core processor and plenty of storage as photo files take up quite a lot of room over time. Many laptops have a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 and whilst elements will run OK some menu functionality will be missing if the display is not at least 800 pixels in height. A resolution of 1600 x 900 would be much better.
Independent advice is best, such as Which, UK. You can get a trial membership for as little as £1 to access their recommendations.

WHat is the best way for other iphone users to share pictures with me? I am doing a project which req. people to send me 100 pictures at a time that I'll be putting in my iphoto? thank you.

ingridlisa,
I'd suggest to ask them to create Shared PhotoStreams and to invite you to view the streams, see:
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams

Added:

Will you be collecting the photos in iPhoto on your iPhone or on a Mac? On a Mac a Shared PhotoStream requires Mac OS X 10.8.2.

What are the best practices for generating an EPS logo from InDesign?

Our costomer is running into technical issues with the logo we sent them, which was exported from Indesign. Images were not embedded and fonts missing. I was able to embed the images and fonts. However, we DO NOT want them to be able to make any text changes. So after exporting an eps, I opened the file in Adobe Illustrator and made all the text outlines. I hope this works. But I just wanted to post the question on what are the best practices for doing this?
The client needs the logo with transparent background, images emebdded and type in outlines. Also, they need some space around the text. When I exported the eps, the file is right up on the edge of the type.

It sounds like you are pretty far from "best practice" with regard to logo design and delivery.
These days, the very use of the EPS format should be considered bad practice, and some other terms in your post, (i.e., 'images,' 'missing fonts'), make it sound like there is not a seasoned logo designer involved.
That said, you probably already got the advice you need to get out of the immediate jam. However, without proper logo design, you and the client will soon be facing other problems. You should be delivering a 100% vector graphic in single-color (black) and corporate-color(s) versions, with no live font data, that has been test-scaled to very small and very large sizes; ensuring it will work at postage-stamp size and on the side of a truck or building, with specific spot color(s) and proportions that will enable it to be offset printed, embroidered and screen-printed on apparel, and cut into signage materials and decals.

What are the best practice for CQ5.5 configuration?

Hello,
What are the best practice for CQ5.5 configuration which handle for High availability.
Last time I had a issues on server when I was uploaded 2 GB of DAM and then after that the server is not able to start and always getting error regarding Tar Persistance.
So kindly request you to please let me know what are the best apache felix configuration.
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Satish

Hi,
A DAM upload, regardless of the size of the assets, never should result in TarPM problems, unless you run into an OOM, which left the repository in an unclean state. So if you regularly do DAM uploads of that size, you should check the Garbage Collection logs and probably adjust the heapsize if necessary. You might want to limit the number of concurrent running workflows to keep the memory consumption a bit lower.
To your question: HA in a traditional sense you cannot achieve with a single box, even with optimized settings. In an author usecase you would need clustering.

What is the best method for saving files off of the hard drive?

I would like to save music files and photos somewhere other than my hard drive (eg. CDs, DVDs, zip disks). What is the best method for doing this?

It rather depends on how paranoid you are
External hard drives protect you from hard disk trouble on your machine.
Optical media (CD's, DVD's) protect you from trouble with magnetic disks - such as external hard drives and the HD in your machine. Optical disks are thought to be more reliable that magnetic disks for long term storage.
Off site back-ups will protect you from fire or theft at your home or office.
How paranoid are you? Personally everything is backed up across three diferent external HD's. And maybe twice a year I burn a copy of my photos onto DVDs and they go to a relative's house across town.

best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

What is the best way for my partner and I to share our work across computers?

What is the best way for my business partner and I to share our work (projects, libraries, images) across computers without emailing items? Is there creative cloud storage place we can share?

Can't I just purchase the 200 GB storage, throw our photo library in it, share it with her, and have both of our new and future pics dumped into it? If so, how do I do that?
The iCloud Photo Library cannot be shared between users, unless you are using the same AppleID.
You can share selected photos with shared albums: iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
Or create a Photos library on an external drive, that you both can access, as described here for iPhoto: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
