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.

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)

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?

HT204264 iDevice Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library over filling ipad iphone storage - what happens next?

Device Sync Query - IOS Photos & iCloud Photo Library fills ipad iphone storage - what happens next?
Quick question, when you select IOS Photo / IiCloud storage (photos are optimised etc) what happens when ipad / iphone storage is full and you now need to add new apps, photos etc? In my case I have 3 * 64gb ipads & 2 * 128 gb iphone but these are all filling up with photos since enabling IOS Photo & iCloud Photo Library (as all of my photos on each device are now copbined on every device as well as the cloud). This has become a problem as when I try to sync my idevice I get the device full warning (and I am assuming I now need to delete apps / videos if I want to sync or make more space for new photos etc). As far as I can tell once you enable IOS Photos and iCloud all photos will upload at original resolution and download at idevice resolution and there is no way to select / control the photos you want to keep on phone (eg if you delete photo on phone it will now delete the original on cloud).
Couple of questions / Suggestions:
- Will IOS Photos on IOS device automatically lower resolution of pics or use thumbnails for old photos that are already in icloud to ensure that there is space on device for new photos, apps videos music etc. Eg will old photos that have already been uploaded in icloud be replaced by new apps videos music etc (not sure that the IOS Sync or iCloud currently does this)
- Is there away to limit control or limit the number of IOS photos that sync to each idevice (eg by starring photos)? I had a look and can not see away to select photos you want to keep or remove (without deleting them on cloud). As per above I am hoping that the IOS sync and icloud systems are smart enough to replace Photos that have already upgraded to cloud with a lower quality / thumbnail to make more more room for new photos and apps (but not clear if this occurs)
- If this is a problem now what happens once the new PHOTOS launches for OS Desktop eg will it add in all our photos from iphoto to the icloud then to the idevice as part of the OS PHOTOS UPGRADE. I have 15-30 gb of photos in IPHOTO that are now backing up to icloud, there needs to be away to only select starred photos or albums or every photo try to download to my iphone (which will kill my storage). There also needs to be away to keep photos on idevice (for those times when you do not have internet and can not download from iCloud to iDevice
Apologies if I have missed something obvious and welcome any thoughts & answers.
If there is no solution then Apple needs to look at this and highlight it as a risk to customers who switch as this is being sold as a way to minimise your device storage but can lead to to customers using up more storage for photos on ipad iphone as a result of switch to IOS PHOTOS &
iCloud Photo Library

Things are not as dire as they might seem at first glance. My 66GB iPhoto Library became a 40GB iCloud Photo Library (~11K photos, ~300 videos) and only uses 2.2GB on my iPad and 2.4GB on my iPhone. Scaling that experience, a 64GB/128GB iOS device should be able to easily handle a 300GB iPhoto library. My iPad and iPhone are 32GB devices and I expect them to be livable through at least 30-40K of photos.
16GB devices have always been problematic for space even before iCloud Photo Library so I'd expect anybody with a 16GB device and more than a few thousand photos is not going to be able to use iCloud Photo Library with it. They will have to use iCloud Photo Streaming to get photos to iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Photo Sharing or iTunes syncing to get a subset of photos back to the device. Not a great solution but workable. However, it wrecks one of the best features for me which is using my iPad to edit the photos I take on my iPhone.
The part that worries me is the automatic space management routine. The problem it creates is that I might want to add a movie, but there won't be enough space, and my only option will be to reset iCloud Photo Library on the device to get back to all thumbnails on it to see if that gets me the space I need. I've already had to do it a couple of times with iTunes Match and it's not fun. It all depends on how aggressive Photo Library will be in trimming off full-size photos/videos and Apple appears to be leaving it a black box at this point. It would at least be nice to know an estimate of the minimum size so I know how much space I can recapture.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.

In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

Just to clarify Toms' statement, 2-3 times your video size, ie. 1920x1080, (not 2-3 times your original stills file size)

What size to crop photos for slideshow

I want to play a slideshow of personal photos on my 17 in PowerBook. What size should I crop the photos so they look the best quality? Thank you.

You probably want to build this slide show from copies of the originals, so that in the future you can regenerate the slide show for whatever size screen you have in your laptop in, say, the year 2016.
If you want them to look perfect, crop them to the exact resolution of your PowerBook monitor. Depending on how new your PowerBook is, it might be 1440x900 (1.2 megapixels) or 1680x1050 (1.7 megapixels). Check your Displays system preference.
You can save disk space by cropping to a lower resolution like half resolution (720x450 or 840x525). They will lose quality but might look just fine. Do some tests.

What size should still photos be so no cropping or stretching occurs?

Hi, I want to prepare photos for a slideshow in iMovie HD. What size
should the photos be so no cropping or stretching occurs??
It's the photo prep that is a problem. The photos are like scrapbook
layouts done in Photoshop. They have edges, like borders that I do
not want cropped. I want them to fit exactly. I tested a 12x8 size
and it is letterboxed in iMovie.
I wish I knew the dimensions in iMovie so I can make my photos that
exact size. I have looked everywhere!
Also, I am doing this slideshow to be shown during the half-time show at a
charity football game. They said they need it in AVI format. I
suppose I just make a DVD with the movie as an .AVI exported from iMovie
or via QT.
Thanks!

If you want no black borders to the imported still images in 4:3 video projects, their aspect ratio must be NTSC 720x528 or PAL 788x576 or some larger multiple of those figures (NTSC 1024x751, 2048x1502, 2095x1536 etc, or PAL 1024x749, 2048x1497, 2101x1536 etc).
If you want no black borders to the imported still images in 16:9 video projects, their aspect ratio must be NTSC 875x480 or PAL 1050x576 or some larger multiple of those figures.

Fritzk,
Some other useful info would be connection method to the printer and the application we are printing from, as well as if other printing (docs etc) work or not. But in the mean time lets also go through some of the basics together. Lets make sure the printer is set properly for photos using printing preferences:
-Click the start button and then select devices and printers.
-Right click your printer and select printing preferences.
-In the new window that appears on the left you will see printing shortcuts. There will be one marked as photo or some variation - select that. To the right ensure that the size is set to 4x6.
-Click ok to close the window and save the changes.
Try the print again. If it does not resolve anything lets move on to making sure we have no software tripping us up. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en - It can fix a lot on its own and if not give us a better idea of what is going on. Let us know the results.
If all the software components check out use this article as it handles partial prints under unique circumstances: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01892627&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
Give the steps listed under windows a try and let us know if it helps.
Best of Luck!

Printer will not make 4x6 size photos

I just bought an HP Photosmart 8250 printer and I cannot print the 4x6 size photos. The printer instead pulls paper from the letter size tray. I believe it is a problem with the computer because I was able to print a 4x6 photo with just the memory card in the printer and all hook-ups to the computer detached. As far as I know, I have selected the right size paper wherever given the choice. In Mac System Preferences however, I cannot change the "Default Paper Size in Page Setup" to a 4x6 size. Is this the root of my problem? If not, what is?

Hi,
I think I might know how to fix the probem you are having. I too, just purchased an HP 8250 printer. I found that I had to go into the Advanced menu on the Print dialog box. Pick "Paper Type/Quality" and choose the Photo tray. The default is the "Main Tray" which typically holds your 8 1/2 by 11 paper.
That should have the printer pull from the proper paper tray (4x6 photo tray).
I am using the 4x6 Borderless photo paper that has a removable tab. (didn't now that until I bought it.) However, I'm still having problems getting the printer to print a true borderless print. The only way it will without giving me a white border on the left and right "landscape" or 4" edges is if I pick "Zoom and Crop" which then will do that to the picture.
If you are having that problem or if you know how to fix it, would you let me know. the one thing I am finding with this HP printer and my Mac, is that there are way too many steps when wanting to print a photo from your computer. It's a bit frustrating. I have yet to try printing from a memory card as I have always just printed directly from iPhoto. (previously used an Epson 1280)
good luck!

How do you determine what size tablet to get (storage wise)?

I looking to get a table (either the IPad or the Asus Transformer Primer. I'm thinking of using it mostly for travel and would like to use it for internet connections, email and downloading & watching movies & music. How can I figure out how much storage (16gb, 32gb, or 64gb) I'm going to need?
Thanks!

I determined what size of tablet I got (storage wise) based on two things: 1) Price and 2) Whether or not I could easily expand the storage.
For starters, you are going to get the most bang for your buck from the Prime. The 32GB Prime costs the same as a 16GB iPad. So right there you have twice the storage for the same price.
If you happen to fill up the 32GB of internal storage (which is not that hard since you pan on loading the thing up with movies and music) you can simply get a 32GB micro sd card for 40$ and double your space (this is not even an option with the iPad). Also, you could add even more space via the SD card slot or the USB port on the keyboard dock.
With the iPad, once you fill the thing up, you are done. From that point on you have to manually move music and movies off the device in order to add new stuff. I used to have to do this with my old iPod touch and it was quite a tedious and annoying thing to have to do. Of course I only had 8GB to work with back then.

What size, resolution, color space and bit do I use for a book?

What size, resolution, and color space do I use for a iPhoto book?

At least 150 DPI - actually pixel requirements depend on the print image size (pring image size * 150 will give you the minimum pixel size you need) - size is determined by the book size and theme and page layout you select - color space should be sRGB - minimal editing and using iPhoto for editing produces the best results - for more information see this article
If a photo is the wrong ratio and you can not crop to work in most themes you can right click on the photo and fit to frame

Saving JPG files in Photoshop Elements 10 - what size?

I have used the raw converter to tweek my photos. I want to save file in Jpg format.
Elements asks me what size I want to save: Low, Medium, large, or maximum.
I will use the Jpg files for printing either 4 x 6 or 8 x 10.
What dictates the file size to use?

For printing, you would want maximum quality.
