What size photo should I choose to send in an email.

Hi you 'guys' with all the answers !!! When emailing a photo I am given the option of scaling the image. Do I choose Small (41.3KB), Medium (118 KB), Large (396 KB) or Actual Size. How do I know which option to choose and what is the difference? Does it affect sending time, quality or actual picture size.
MANY THANKS.

There is actually a reason for the three different sizes pf pictures, and it has to do with what you intend to to with the photo after it is sent.
If you are sending a 'snapshot' to a friend to view on another smart phone or small format PC then small is fine. Essentially if it is intended to be viewed once or twice, then choose small. Works great for this use.
If the viewer is going to be use a PC or other large format device, then the medium format if great. It has plenty of pixels to satisfy the display requirements of all but the most sophisticated monitor. This size is also good for printing at the 4x6 or maybe even a 5x7 size.
If you intend to work with the photo with something like Photoshop, or if you intend to have the photo processed professionally (as compared to printing it on a 600 dpi photo printer), use the larger size picture.
I use my iPhone camera, a point and shoot camera and a SLR high end camera a lot. If I am just fooling around, I will use the iPhone or pocket camera. If I am doing some serious photography (weddings, portraits, wildlife, etc.), I use my trusty SLR.
I will admit that the quality of the iPhone camera and my point-and-shoot are blurring with the quality of the SLR, there is still a difference when you blow the picture up to 11x17 or larger. Also, I don't think a bride would accept any explanation for me showing up at her wedding to take photos with only my iPhone ;o)

    There isn't an attachment size limit as such, the limit applies to the entire message including all attachments, which is 20 MB.
    if you are using a mail application to send emails (ie not via a web browser) you may be subject to smaller limits imposed by your own ISP.

  • What size iphone should I buy?

    What size Iphone should I buy?  I have a relatively small music library.  I anticipate takeing a lot of pictures and videos but assume those would ultimately get stored elsewhere (upload to the cloud)?  I would probably watch movies/videos on my ipad and would not store alot of documents on it?  What am I forgeting?
    Thanks

    IMO, forget the calcs and buy as much storage as you can afford.  Better to have and not need than need and not have.  Plus it will be worth more when you sell it.
    Note that videos are not stored in iCloud and videos taken with the iPhone can be very big, hundreds to thousands of megabytes.

    When I select a photo on my iPhone and send it via email, the receipient receives it sideways. Any way to fix that?

    When you took this photograph your phone was being held in that way. Sideways, try taking the photo straight on. Or it is the Picture file itself, open up the application you edit photos with and rotate it to be proper orientation. I recently had the same problem but you either have to retake or edit it at this point.

    The issue is that he doesn't know if he will use the memory or not.  To be sure, he should go BIG!  The differences in cost between the small and large versions are not that much anyway.

  • What project settings should I choose in PE8 for frame rate of 29.97 if camera source unknown?

    Hi, I would like to know what project settings to choose in premiere elements 8 for a frame rate of 29.97, pixel aspect ratio of 1.3333 and 1440x1080?  Should I choose HDV, AVCHD or hard disk?  I didn't record the footage, so I'm not sure what it was recorded on.

    I am definately selecting NTSC - HDV, HDV, 1080I30.  I then import the video. It shows in the project media - properties as 29.97 frame rate and in the interpret footage it also shows as 29.97.  But when it finishes indexing and starts to conform the video is changes to 25 frame rate. 
    Please see images below.  When importing the video it is at a frame rate of 29.97 until the indexing has finished, then it changes to 25 before conforming video
    IMAGE 1. Project settings
    IMAGE 2.  Indexing image.  frame rate at 29.97fps
    IMAGE 3. Properties while indexing video - 29.97 fps
    IMAGE 4.  Interpret footage - still while indexing at 29.97fps
    IMAGE 5.  Finished indexing changes to 25 fps and starts to conform video?

  • To install Windows 8 OS on a new iMac using Boot Camp, what size "partition" should I allocate for Windows on a system with 3TB Fusion drive?

    I am trying to install Windows on a new iMac w/3TB Fusion drive. The system crashed on my first attempt but appears to have partitioned the drive correctly before crashing???  So, what size partition does Windows 8 need to operate effectively?  Is "more" better??? or just over-kill?  And, has anyone installed Winodow 8 on an iMac...and how did it work?  Would apps like "Parallel Desktop" or "VM Ware Fusion" be a good idea and troubleless?
    I will try again but not too confident that it may get worse before it gets better.
    Regards....?
    P.S.  I configured this iMac with the i7 processor 3.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3,9GHz.  When I select "About this Mac" it diplays my i7 processor as a 3.4GHz instead.  Do you think they ran out of the i7 3.5GHz and shoved a i5 3.4Ghz in the iMac to meet deliver schedule???  I there a way to check the real-time speed of my processor??.

    It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
    Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

  • What size photo to accomodate fill?

    I looked on the MuseGrid site and looked at the specs for one of their pics that is full frame. That pic is on this page and it is scaled down.
    2,000px × 1,007px (scaled to 1,497px × 754px)
    Question: If it auto scales down, is it still loading the full photo so as to increase load time of page? For that matter, when creating Thumbnails, do I create for size I choose or will the pic scale and only tax the smaller pic showing?

    Now looking above suggest that 1024 is gone. It appears that 1366 X 768 is the new size.  That fills my screen.
    The guys on MuseGrid chose 2000px for their width. Why that number? Obviously I'm concerned about page speed but I want the large pics, as well.
    Any tips for working with large pics?

    It's a trade off. Especially with Retina displays.
    So here's my approach (which may not be the correct approach, but it's mine).
    For browser fill, where I want to have the image take up the full browser I use a larger image size.
    - when an image is used as a Fill, it will NOT resize to a smaller image size on export
    - the assumption is that you may want all that image data for when the browser gets larger
    - NOTE : we do have a max image size (I believe) 2000 pixels x 2000 pixels
    - NOTE : if you place an image & resize it, then Muse will resize / resample your image (to make it smaller)
    - NOTE : if you have thumbnails (using Slideshow widget) and you make the thumbnails smaller, it's like resizing placed images
    What about Retina?
    - it's really a preference in my opinion
    - do you want to increase your image sizes as well as your total page size for better looking images?
    - I'd say it all depends on the image as well as device
    Phone + Retina + Speed
    - there are numurous studies out there that states the max time a visitor will wait for your phone page to load is about 3-4 seconds before they start abandoning your page.
    - Download speed is not the bottleneck.
    - Network latency, smartphone's memory, large image size are the bottleneck.
    Once you've decided what strategy you want for images, I'd say use a program dedicated to image manipulation, like Photoshop then bring those images into Muse. You'll have more control over the images then you will in Muse.
    Again - this is what I do.

  • Ps CS6 Laptop - What Hard Drive should I choose?

    I'm going to be ordering a laptop for work very soon. I will need a laptop for travel and my company orders through Dell. Basically here is my build so far (below). I have read so many forums and articles about hard drive setups. But I'm limited to a laptop so I need to prioritize! Please offer some advice on my build so far, best Hard Drive, and any room for improvement, or even where I might have overkill (is that possible? haha). I get one internal hard drive and I want to choose the best one for my application. I will be working with files for print. I believe up to 48" x 64" x 600dpi multiple layers. I'm going to max out RAM to reduce scratch disk necessity. Also, when docked I will have dual 22" monitors.
    15.4” Dell Precision M4700 Mobile Workstation
    Win 7 Pro, 64 bit
    Photoshop CS6
    Intel i7 Processor 2.8GHz
    NVIDIA Quadro K2000M w 2GB GDDR3
    32 GB RAM
    Hard Drive Options:
    512GB 2.5" (SATA3) Mobility Solid State Drive (very expensive)
    256GB 2.5" (SATA3) Mobility Solid State Drive (expensive)
    1TB 2.5" 5400rpm Hard Drive
    750GB 2.5" 7200rpm Hard Drive
    Thoughts? Thanks so much!

    Ok here's the problem its either 3 drives, no optical media, RAID  ***OR*** 1 drive, no RAID. I can't have 2 drives becuase I get the following "error" when choosing options on the dell site
    The No Raid RAID Configuration only allows a maximum of (1) 2.5" hard drive. If Primary Storage selected is 2.5" then Secondary Storage will need to be "NONE".
    SO with THESE LIMITATIONS what do you think is my best bet? 3 drives and no media (seems like a bad idea?) or 1 512 ssd? Also my boss thinks I need 2TB of space (which isn't even an option here) and so I think it will take some convincing to explain that a smaller faster more expensive SSD rive could be optimal over the 1TB or 750GB HDDs....
    With everyone's advice and suggestions I'm no closer to making a decision. I really need to work within these parameters. And keep in mind the 32 gb ram and other specs and what I'm doing. I'm not doing 3D animations or video production here. I don't even have Illustrator or other software, just PS CS6 (not to say I won't get Illustrator or other graphics software in the future but my job function should not change - just print work)
    Thanks

  • What size photos for iPod?

    I'm about to load some photo images onto my iPod but don't know where to start for re-sizing them for this purpose.
    What's a good size to use for photos on an Ipod? I assume I would use a jpg file format.
    Thanks for your advice!

    Here's something that is very odd. I took two photographs and sized them to 640x480 pixels. As level 10 JPGs, the resulting files were 196kb and 116kb. Loaded them onto my iPod Touch. An iPod cache folder was created and I found the two files that it created for my photos. Each file was 656kb!
    How can you take a 196kb file and a 116kb file and make it 656kb? What the heck is this software doing to these image files?

  • What music format should I choose for a download?

    I am new to downloading music and haven't used iTunes. I bought a track at theclassicalshop.net and it is now asking what format I want to download it in: WMA, WAV, AIF. I don't have a clue which one. Then in another part of the screen I have a choice between WMA  and MP3.
    I have an iMac, iPhone and iPad; no W******.
    I would also like some background information on formats. I gather from other questions in the forum that iTunes uses AAC or something but that it is lossy, which doesn't sound good. But I also gather that iTunes can convert from and to other formats. Is there some reliable information on this subject somewheter someone could point me to? I would really appreciate it. I can't find anything on apple.com.

    MP3 and AAC (M4a) are both lossy. WAV and AIFF files are non-lossy but are very much larger - impracticably so for most downloading purposes. iTunes does not handle WMA files.
    MP3 and AAC quality can be perfectly reasonable as long as they are not compressed too much - purchased items are usually fine. You could download AIFF if you want to be fussy, though it's likely the difference won't be obvious unless you are using a good hifi system.
    You could download as AIFF or WAV and convert to MP3 or AAc but there's no point at all in doing that if you can download an MP3 version. Note that if you download an MP3 version there is no point in converting to AIFF - all you will do is make the file size larger, it won't improve the quality at all.
    AAC files are slightly better quality than MP3 at the equivalent bitrate, though again the difference is minimal and not likely to be obvious in most playback situations. You could compromise by downloading AIFF and converting to AAC if you want to keep the filesize on your Mac (and more to the point your iPod) down, though the download will be a long one as a result. This post explains how to do the conversion:

  • What frame-rate should I choose for iOS devices ?

    Hi there,
    I have my project set to 60FPS. everything looks smooth and fine  when testing on the iphone 4s.
    I don't have a 3G to test on yet, should I leave the framerate as 60FPS for 3g or lower it?
    I don't really understand how to determine what to set the framerate for best performance or even if it matters.
    Just after some clarification about what to set the framerate to.
    Thanks

    Yes release is same as non-debug
    Okay I finally get your question.
    The idea is to keep a value for fps that meets your requirement. Using a value higher than this wastes resources. A simple example would be running an application at 60 fps that is an enterprise application which is clearly wasteful. For your scrolling usecase, if your performance requirement is of 40 fps then keep framerate at 40. Now two things can happen either your device will have enough juice to run at 40 fps or it won't have. If it has the juice it will run at 40 fps no issues. But if it does not have enough juice then it won't and cause stutter. In such a case raising the framerate to 60 will serve no purpose, because that relatively slower device could not scroll at 40 fps, no chance of it to scroll at 60 fps. You should not concern yourself to keep different framerates for different devices. Keep the framerate at a value that meets your requirement, if the underlying device can play at that fps it will play, otherwise it will stutter.
    To answer your original question, no you will not get smoother scrolling on a lower frame rate.

  • What size case should I buy?

    I have a 15in 1.5ghz PowerBook G4. I was looking at some case logic cases on Amazon. The thing is they come in a 14in, 16in sizes. I looked at the dimensions and the 15.6in is a little big and the 14in looks like it will really be a squeeze.
    The link to the case I am looking at is here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NY9UWI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=A TVPDKIKX0DER
    I don't know the exact dimensions to my PowerBook but maybe some of you would.
    Any help would be great thanks!

    Its size is at the bottom of this article:
    PowerBook G4
    Remember, the G4's 15-inch dimension is the diagonal of the screen. Looks like a 15" PB should fit the 14 case snugly, but it's hard to tell how much the computer thickness affects the case's ability to wrap an edge enough to close. At least the PB is thin.
