Why are images tiny in epub "book"?

This is my first time Using InDesign. I have imported 19 jpeg files into ID. Each of the jpegs is 1200x600 pixels, at 300 dpi. They are RGB. Each jpeg is meant to represent a page in a fixed layout children's book, which I will want to upload to Barnes and Noble. When I export the files (in ID) to create an EPUB book, the resultant pages in the book are tiny- about the size of thumbnail images. I have previewed the EPUB file in both Adobe Digital Editions, and in Kindle Comic Creator- same results both places- a tiny, tiny book. Any idea as to what I am doing wrong here?

Hi WA Veghe,
>First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).
It seems I have to do without synchronizing..
>I do not seem to find HOW you are diplaying images on you screen: with Soft proofing?
What happens if you soft proof in Photoshop and InDesign on screen: View > Proof colors. Do you proof with the same profiles, both simulate paper and black on?
I can simulate Proof Colors (working CMYK), but not simulate Paper, both in Indesign and Photoshop.
Problem is: SAME settings in Photoshop and Indesign BUT the image displayed in Photoshop is brighter and more saturated.
So which image should I correct after?
thanks for all help

Why are images on page blinking after the OSX 10.9.3 update

Why are images on page blinking after OSX 10.9.3 update on 5/21/14?

I have finally been able to get the strobe effect stopped. I've restarted at least 7 times and each time I got the light grey screen with the darker grey apple and the spinning wheel, but not the log in box I used to get before the 5/21/14 update. But I called my son and he did some research and told me to hold down the Shift key and type in my password, even if it didn't appear in the log in box. It worked and the log in box appeared and I was able to type in my password. After doing this for each of the 7 times, on my last attempt it appears the strobe effect has been weeded out. Thank God - I thought I was going blind with it affecting every screen I was on.
I hope this will be of help to someone.

Why are images being copied from a linked library that aren't modified

I'm trying out the linked library feature and that is my preffered way of using iPhoto but I notice that many images that haven't been modified in iPhoto are being copied as full res modified images. My camera Nikon D2x supports auto rotation of verticle images which keeps me from having to manualy rotate these images. I understand that when I modify an image using iPhoto's tools that a full res image will be copied into a modified folder but why are images that have simply been tagged in camera as needing rotation being copied as well. Vertical images account for at least half of all images I shoot and diplaying them properly should be a look at exif or other metadata and applying rotation but since they are images straight from camera they shouldn't show as modified. Anyone have experience or suggestions on how to avoid having auto rotated images show as modified?

blinden:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I ran into that but in a different way. I had all of my image files in folders on a second HD and used another application to manage them. I decided to use iPhoto's alias method to work with the same files. I got a lot of files that were copied over as modified. Have no idea why. I ended up doing global revert to Original several times, watching the Modified folder via the Finder, until it became empty. I then closed iPhoto, dragged the Modified folder to the trash and then launched iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and rebuild the library using the first three options. That worked and got me a pristine library.
I had not figured out why that happened. I've had the auto-rotate turned off for about a year now. Had I know what was causing it I could have checked to see if all of those bogus modified files occurred before I had turned off that option in the camera. I'm guessing now that that's what I would have found. Thanks for the info.

Why are images not displaying at correct resolution in emails?

I've just upgraded to Windows 7 (64bit).
Thunderbird is not displaying images at the correct resolution: images that I insert into the body of an email and images used in my signature.
The images appear larger than they should and pixelated.
It seems that images are not displaying at the correct resolution inside my emails, whereas in other programs on my machine images are displaying correctly.
When I insert and image into an email using insert>image, the resulting "Image Properties" window displays the image's dimensions correctly. This confirms my suspicion that the resolution is not displaying correctly inside emails (a lower resolution than elsewhere on my screen, which would explain why the images appear bigger and pixelated).
I'd appreciate any help in fixing this problem.
Regards,
Catsix

Hi Zenos,
I've discovered what is causing the problem, but I still need a way to fix it, if possible.
The cause of the problem is that in Windows 7 Control Panel > Display I have set the size of "text and other items" to 150% (otherwise everything is much too small too read on my screen's recommended resolution of 1920×1080).
I discovered that Irfan Viewer was also displaying at the incorrect resolution, but I managed to solve that problem by right-clicking on the IrfanView.exe icon and following Properties > Compatibility and selecting "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
I tried the same procedure with Thunderbird, but it made no difference. It is still displaying at the incorrect resolution.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Catsix

Why are images distorted when burning a slide show to iDVD from iPhoto?

I have created a slide show in iPhoto and wanted to burn a DVD. Some of the images are scans from old family pictures.
The images present in the proper aspect ratio within iPhoto, but when I burn the CD in iDVD, some of the images are either compressed in from the sides or widened unacceptably. Anyone know why the images are being distorted?

I gave the iphoto slide show a show and although I couldn't access the options in the idvd dialog box, I liked the end results better. I included 225 pics, and the random transition's option from iphoto enhances the outcome. The random transition option is not available in idvd.

Why are the graphics in the book The Extraordinary Leader so small?

Just recently downloaded the book The Extraordinary Leader. All of figures in the book are to tiny. Is the a new update to this book that can fix this?

You need to get in touch with the publisher of the book and alert them to the problem, like I did here. They should be able to update the book after which you can then redownload.

Why are images displayed in Photoshop different than the same images displayed in Indesign?

My images imported to Indesign do NOT display as the images in Photoshop.
They seem to display under different color profiles.
The images in Indesign are more desaturated than the images in Photoshop.
This is a problem because now I don't know which image appearance to trust!
How can you get the Indesign images to look like the images in Photoshop?
I use Photoshop CS4 and Indesign CS3.
I import the images from Photoshop to Indesign for exporting to a PDF as the base for Blurb printing (www.blurb.com).
I use the CMYK profile Blurb_ICC_profile.icc:
The images in PS4 are converted to Blurb_ICC_Profile (CMYK).
Both in PS4 and ID3 the color settings are
                           Working spaces:
                              CMYK: Blurb_ICC_profile
                           Color management Policies:
                               CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles.
The images are imported into Indesign by drag and drop from Bridge CS4. In Bridge it says that the images have color profile CMYK, Blurb_ICC_profile.
I also do get "Unsynchronized: Your Creative Suite Applications are not synchronized for consistent color." And I don't seem to be able synchronize between CS3 and CS4, or whatever. I do NOT depend on any synchronization.
The settings above should be enough to show the images consistently in Photoshop and Indesign.
SO WHY DOES IT NOT?
Should not Adobes own applications be able to keep color consistency?

Hi WA Veghe,
>First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).

So which image should I correct after?

Why are my iPads not syncing books?

I have an original iPad and an iPad 3 and, after the recent updates, two weird things are occurring. One is that, when I purchase a book on one iPad, it no longer automatically downloads and installs it on the other. It does download it, but it is in the cloud, and you have to install it yourself. Prior to the changes, it automatically installed it into the library. I've checked my settings, and they seem right. Is this normal now or what? Second, when my wife uses her iPad 3 to read a book, sometimes out of the blue it asks for the username and password. When she hits cancel, it just goes away but the iPad still allows her to read the book. Once again, I've checked my settings, and everything seems normal. What's going on here? Can anyone help?

Thanks for your attempted help guys, but it has not been fruitful. I will take a couple of my chargers, cords and iPads to the local store and see if they can (1) tell me why the iPads aren't charging, (2) how to differentiate Apple chargers from non-Apple chargers and (3) help me replace whatever I need to replace. What I know is that in the future, whenever I pull a charger out of an Apple box (purchased from Apple), I'm going to mark it with a big permanent "A" on the side, because all my chargers are identical, but I'm pretty sure that some were purchased off-market.
I'll publish what I learn.

Why are images not appearing in my emails

I use mailchimp to send out details which include images.To test each one I send it to myself.Suddenly the images have stopped appearing but the text is still there.Also previous emails I have sent to myself have lost their images.

Why are images two-sided in Motion 5?

I'm working in '3D mode' and I'm rotating images much like the letters on Wheel of Fortune. Except that when an image rotates beyond 180 degrees it is still visable (yet reversed). In my experience, 3D polygons are one-sided by default. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chris

Two sided images are a "feature"... that's how they behave. David is right — you'll have to supply a backing rectangle for each side. However, this should actually help simplify your project. Here's how:
For all your images, line them up, center canvas. Draw a single rectangle to enclose all of them and center it in the canvas. For each image, duplicate the rectangle then Group the image and rectangle pair. Label the group the name of them image. Make sure the rectangle is arranged within the group at the bottom. Close each of the groups and treat them as if they are the images themselves (that means all position and rotation controls will now be at the group level, thus controlling both the image and the rectangle together.)
Each image group will now have the same dimensions (makes lining everything up much easier!)
My trick for a "tight" arrangement is to select one of the groups and for Position: Z, add a Link behavior. Set the source to the same group and for the Source Parameter, select Compaitible Parameters > Position > Transform > Anchor Point > Z. Option click drag that link behavior onto your other image groups so that they all now have the same linked behaviors. Reset each Image group's Link behavior's Source Object to match its group.
Now, if you don't have a Camera, add one and select all of the image groups; switch to Perspective View and rotate to a top "look" at the scene [perspective is more convenient than going to top view for making fine tune adjustments later.]
Select the Anchor Point tool (all image groups still selected) and drag the Z control (blue arrow) backwards away from the images -- you should see all of them repostion at the same time -- this will make lining up the edges easy and accurate. To fine tune the Z anchor point, in the inspector, you can hold down the option key while dragging on Anchor Point.Z (all image groups still selected -- whether you see a value there or just an '-'). You can use the rotation tool in Perspective view to make sure all edges are lining up correctly (it will help a great deal if all background rectangles are the same color.)
When you're done with that, you can click on the parent group and reposition its anchor point to be the center of the image arrangement (which should be exactly the same as the other Anchor Point Z settings) so that all you should need to do is control the Group's Rotation.Y parameter to spin the images. Remember to go back to Active Camera view. [If you don't want or need a camera, you can just turn it off, or delete it.]
HTH
[edit:] PS - just before you adjust the Z-anchors, rotate the Y axis of the image as needed... sorry for the oversight!

Why are Image Export Sizes Doubled when using Save vs. SaveForWeb&Devices?

Hi Folks
Maybe I'm missing something here ...
I have 2 versions of an action I use to batch process images. One uses the Save As dialogue and the other uses SaveForWeb&Devices. However, the image sizes created using the latter are about 50% smaller than those created with the former. The two actions differ only in the Save step - I duplicated the original and swapped the save step in the action.
Is SaveForWeb&Devices usign a more efficient optimisation algorithm or am I missing something?
The reason for using the Save As dialog is that Batch Processing is able to override the save location, whereas I had trouble overriding save location in a batch process which used an Action that Saved using SaveForWeb&Devices.
Cheers
Richard
P.S. I also find this size doubling takes place when using the Image Processing script supplied with PS. I'm on PS5 on OSX10.6.8.

SfW throws out redundant custom data, when the normal JPEG save does not. Using the normal save e.g. also retains clipping paths (10 years ago people used that al lthe time for print stuff) and of course also more info on color management, user metadata and what have you. Therfe may bne more specific optimizations in SfW, but that's something Mr. Cox can probably answer better...

Why are images rendering so poorly in InDesign CS6?

My display performance is set to High Quality, but I'm still getting poor image quality when I import the screenshot.
This is actually unbelievable. All of my colleagues are having the same problem (which doesn't exist in earlier versions of InDesign). Is this a known problem?
My workspace is set to "Web". Exporting doesn't fix it. I'm viewing the document at "Actual Size" and still, the problem persists.
Indesign CS6:
Original:

I've tried every export setting - all output is sub-optimal.
This is an unknown problem. I've scoured the web for ages, and can't find anything on it. Plenty of other people have the issue, but no solutions.
Here is another post with the same problem:
