Why are my iphoto scans so small?

My scanned pictures are being imported to iphoto at a very small size (396x261 for example). I have an HP7310 all in one. Prior to upgrading to Mountain Lion, they were importing at 3 times that size. Any suggestions?

iPhoto doesn't appear to have any import settings that would automatically change resolution.
I'm sure you have, but have you verified the resolution size of the scanned photos before importing to iPhoto.

    why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Why Are Many iPhoto Files Now Thumbnails?

    Greetings All: I've searched the forums for answers to my question, and there is a partially useful solution which dates back to 2006 about shrinking photos in iPhoto. All one needed to do to get around this problem was to go to ~Library/Pictures and make sure that iPhoto Data wasn't the selected folder for iPhoto. The solution was to select iPhoto Library as the source for iPhoto.
    Now, things are a bit more complex. I cannot find a Pictures folder in ~Libary directory. It's now moved to ~Pictures. I have only one iPhoto libary file and it's called "Rebuilt Library". When I'm in Events mode and browsing iPhoto, I can get the app to show me the individual files, but I don't know where to find them. Often there are six copies of any given file with (EDIT) appended to one of the copies. As I click on each one, it's apparent that they are all tumbnails. Some of the photos are orignial size, but many aren't.
    I wonder if I am doing something wrong, selecting an improper libary, or if I can kiss 800 or so of my Africa photos "goodbye"?
    Thanks in Advance.

    LN:
    I use iPhoto '11 v9.3. I own a MBP i7 dual core running OS 10.4.7. How did I get to the individual photo files? By selecting an indivdual photo, going to the "Edit" menu on iPhoto, and dropping down to the "Reveal in Finder" command. I saw folders marked by date full of individual photo files. I clicked on several of them which seemed to be duplicates named in series; for example:
    IMO2345.JPG
    IMO2345.1.JPG...
    IMO2345.6.JPG
    All seven photos were identical and all were of thumbnail size.
    Also present were photo files marked with (EDIT) such as
    HOLIDAY2005.JPG
    HOLIDAY2005(EDIT).JPG
    Again, both photos identical and both in thumbnail size.
    I opened these photos with Lemke's GraphicConverter. You say this is an SQL database and cannot be interpreted by any other application but iPhoto. (I had to look up the definition of SQL.) From my non-tech point of view, I was struck by the fact that there was so much duplication, so many (EDIT) files, and all in thumbnail size which is how they appear in iPhoto. I didn't delete or rearrange any of the files. I won't monkey around with that database again.
    There are two iPhoto libraries in my ~Pictures folder. One is iPhoto Library which is blank. The other is Rebuilt Library which contains all the data; it was created at the suggestion of the iPhoto application I was running in about 2006-2007. I don't recall exactly how I accomplished this.
    There are still some photos which are at normal size. I recall going through the approximately 4,500 photos in my iPhoto collection (there have to be copies in here) and taking out thumbnail duplicate photos. I took a photo journey to Africa a few years ago, and some of those photos seem to be thumbnail now, which makes me panic; however most of the other photos I have in iPhoto are thumbnail size now. I don't know how to proceed from here. At the time I did it, looking at the individual photos in the folders seemed like a reasonable thing to do. I'm a doctor, and I felt like doing some exploratory surgery. But I won't do that again.

  • Why are my iphoto 11 slideshow pictures distorted in idvd?

    I want to create a dvd of my slideshow I created in iphoto 11.  I shared it with idvd and the pictures were distorted.  How can I fix this problem?  Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    A. I don't know - I don't do it like that. Lack of KnowHow.
    B. I do it by using either a video-editor or a dedicated program
    • iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any version
    • FotoMagico™
    I do not use - iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they discard every second line in export to iDVD (What evere way one take)
    To get as high quality possibly - read
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
       iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (if movie + menu is > 60 minutes)
    • Best Performances (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

  • Why are my Jpg files so small after being saved from Nef

    Hi,
    I am finally posting after months of trying to figure out why my images are saving so small, some 4mb after converting from Nef to Jpg.
    I am shooting with a Nikon D4s and came from a D800. I was spoilt with really large file sizes and now I am freaking out because my jpegs are so small.
    I am checking all the right boxes as far as I can see to save the jpg as large as I can, and I am not cropping the images before saving as Jpg.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I can't understand why a camera as amazing as the D4s is giving me such small files. I have read everywhere that my files need to be over 6mb to be classed as high res.
    The only thing that I can think of is maybe I am pushing my nefs too hard in camera raw/lightroom resulting in a loss of quality? Although my exposure is correct 90% of the time so Im only playing with highlights or luminance.
    Can anyone walk me through the process of what I should be doing so I can end this headache!
    Thanks in advance!

    Images are 16pm (4928x3280px as you say), and the doc is 48mb.
    So here's where I really show myself up... am I right in assuming that the more adobe compresses an image the lower the mb is on the final file, meaning if there is less detail (i.e. the low-key image is predominately black) then the jpeg will be smaller. Does this affect the print quality?
    4mb seems very low res to me. How can I retain as much of the information as possible? Do you think I should sharpen more to retain detail? Or does it even matter and I'm fretting over nothing!
    Okay. The file dimensions are fine, so we're talking purely about content and compression.
    As I already said, the low-key image contains very little data in the first place (lots of black and no colour), so it compresses well.  The dreamy woman image contains a lot of plain blue sky and out-of-focus background, so that compresses well too. No surprises there.
    Have you got any more detailed images with greater depth of field? Try creating a JPEG of that and see how big the file is.
    An Adobe JPEG Quality setting of 12 means minimum compression and therefore maximum file size. But, even so, if you saved an image which was just a single plain colour, you would find that the resulting JPEG would be just a few kB. This is how compression works.
    The lower the quality number is set, the higher the compression, the more detail is lost, and the more JPEG artefacts are created in the image.  You are already saving at 12 quality, which is the highest setting, so you are minimising any problems with detail. You should save as TIFF if you want absolutely no loss of detail, but the file sizes are much bigger.
    4MB is not a resolution. Think of it as packing a suitcase. If you're taking lots of books, you won't get the lid down. If you're taking lots of soft woollen sweaters, you can take lots. 4MB is an indication of the space that your packed image takes—if it's made of light fluffy stuff then it will be a smaller suitcase! :-)
    You should sharpen your images the same as any other. Large areas of plain or out-of-focus background need not be sharpened. You're okay. Stop worrying!

  • Why are my RAW files so small/ruined?

    I just imported a few hundred photos from my camera into my computer using iphoto version 6.0.6.
    They are now useless little 2x3" jpegs with file sizes of about 16 to 50 kb.
    And of course, I used the convenient 'delete files from camera after import' feature so the originals are gone.
    Please tell me my photo files aren't ruined.
    gg

    Hi, guy. Quite apart from resolving the present problem in iPhoto, two pieces of advice:
    1. Never use the "delete images from camera after importing" option in iPhoto.
    2. If your RAW files are not found anywhere in the iPhoto Library, you can almost certainly recover them from the camera's memory — but ONLY if you haven't written anything to the card since it was erased. So don't use that card again until your pictures are found or recovered. Applications made specifically for data recovery from flash memory cards include:
    PhotoRescue
    MediaRecover
    CardRaider
    There's a demo version of each.

  • *HELP* why are "edit in photoshop" images smaller?

    Ok, for the life of me (I've searched this forum high and low and can't find an answer) I cannot figure out why when I go to "edit in phototshop" my images end up being around 7x13 instead of full size. I always import the images in full resolution (from my Canon 5D).
    Of course I can select the entire catalog and "export" and change the size to whatever I want to but I'm afraid when I'm opening them up in CS5 from LR3 that I'm losing image quality.
    So I guess I have 2 questions:
    Is there an adjustment that will allow me to "edit in" in FULL file size in CS5?
    If not and I save the files in CS5, then I see them edited in my LR catalog and I go to export them and make the image size larger (say 20x30 from the 9x13) that it opened up as in CS5, is there IQ loss?
    Hope that made sense.
    Any help is appreciated!

    You are not the only person who has been confused by this.
    For digital images, the resolution in pixels per inch, or pixels per centimeter, are truly meaningless. They do not affect the exported photo in any way. The same is true for the Edit In ... dialog box. The result of an "Edit In ..." is always a digital file.
    If you are exporting with the goal of printing an image, then you could set the units to inches, and select pixels per inch, and for example, if you wanted to print a 4x6, you could set the long edge in the Export dialog box to 6 inches and the resolution to 300 pixels per inch, and voila you get an image that has 1800 pixels on its long edge, this downsamples the image, and may not be strictly necessary if your image is actually larger than you need.
    A "Better" way to think about this is the following example — my image is going to be printed at 8x10 inches, I want it to print at 300 pixels per inch, therefore I multiply 8x10 time 300 and discover that I need 2400x3000 pixels (or more!) in order to print properly.
    So with the above explanation, I still have no idea why Edit In ... contains a resolution box, as you can always change the final size in your auxiliary editor. Having a resolution field in the Export Dialog box might make some sense in printing situations.

  • Why are my exported files so small with lightroom 3?

    I have been editing 10 mb raw files and they are no bigger than 2 mb jpegs afterwards.why is that?
    i have been using presets while editing and i reset all settings at some point as my crop tool wasn't working properly.the resolution slider in the export window is at 100%, 240 pixels per inch, and everything else seems to be the way it was before.What am i doing wrong? I used to get much bigger exported files, cca 7-8 mb.

    I have just imported  raw file from my camera, taken at a full resolution of 21 MP. The raw file has about 23mb and the exported jpeg without the resize to fit box ticked 7 MB. I uploaded the photo on the website and it's still not good enough for a 20''x30'' print. I am not sure if other websites accept other formats than jpeg, as this one doesn't. Not that i want to use them but it was the easiest way for me to check.
    I am not sure if my client will want a canvas print, i am only assuming they might as they did in the past and i want to know what to do if that happens. I read that genuine fractals 6 pro is good, enlarges about 4 times the original size.
    The ppi image resolution required for "handheld" print viewing is higher than that for pictures to be hung a wall and viewed at a distance of  three feet or more.
    The ppi image resolution required for a large canvas print is even lower, with good results obtainable a 100 ppi. Canvas prints have a textured surface that reduces the print resolution and doesn't require as high ppi image file. Print houses use RIP engines that process the image file for both paper profile and printer native resolution. These RIP engines use very sophisticated "upscaling" algorithms, which are as good or better than a photo editing software application such as LR and Genuine Fractals. Because of this it is advisable not to upscale image files to meet a specific printer resolution such as 300 dpi.
    Your 21 mp image files (5184 x 3456) at 100 ppi equates to a 50" x 33" canvas print with edge wrap. Many print houses only accept sRGB profiled JPEG files, but exporting from LR with 100 Quality you create a virtually lossless JPEG image file. You should have no difficulty producing a high-quality canvas print from a well processed 21 mp raw image file up to 50" x 33" in size.
    For enlargements on regular photo paper 150 ppi minimum is required for good results. For your 21 mp image files this equates to 35" x 23," so there should be no problem printing 20" x 30" enlargements for framed wall mount viewing.
    What website gave you the "still not good enough" message for the 20" x 30" print and what is the actual resolution (???? x ????) of the JPEG file you uploaded? Reimport that JPEG file into LR to see the resolution if necessary.

  • Why are some video frame sizes smaller than others?

    I am copying a number of short amateur digital video movies onto a single DVD.  All are 16:9 ratio, but whereas most fill the screen on my computer monitor and 16:9 ratio television, some appear as a smaller picture - still 16:9 ratio, but with a black border around all four sides of the picture.  Can someone please explain what causes this, and is it practical to enlarge the smaller picture movies to match the full screen ones, or will the image quality be noticeably poorer?  If it's practical to do, how do I do the enlarging?  Thank you.

  • Why are my web pages so small?

    I've noticed when using my iPhone (3G) that some web pages, when double-clicked, briefly flicker, like they're trying to expand, but then they return quickly to their original mini size. Other web pages, when double-clicked expand to a larger more readable size. Why is this happening? Is this a web page design issue or is it inherent in the iPhone?

    Not always. I've come across a few that don't resize. It's not common but it does happen.

  • Why are my files exporting so small? (15 mb RAW files exporting to 2 mb JPEG)

    I'm trying to export RAW files into JPEG for a client and haven't experienced this issue before. I shot on large format RAW and original files are around 15 mb. When I export them in lightroom they end up around 2 mb. I know that I can still print large files from this but I'm worried that my (wedding) clients will see the file size and worry about enlarging prints, etc. Is there a way to export them so they are larger? I'm currently exporting at 100%. Help please!

    File size really doesn't provide useful information. And since JPG is compression, I see nothing unusual about a 15mb original RAW exported as 2mb JPG. If you are worried about file size, then you are not looking at the right numbers.
    You need to look at number of pixels in the original image, and number of pixels in the exported file. Anything else will lead you in the wrong direction.

    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Also, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive

    1. Thanks for getting me to learn Aperture's "filtering" (Command-F). Cool.
    2. No images. Aha. So, do this mean all the masters are in the iPhoto library?
    But, using Finder:
    iPhoto Library: 18.2 GB 8,014 items
    Aperture Library.aplibrary: 20.6 GB 7,945 which would be right: I did some deleting after importing from iPhoto
    Aperture Vault: 5.8 MB

    What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.
