Should I still low size photos for my Web site?

Hi - I'm doing a website.  I don't know--or at least I think I know - you should down-size of your images for fast loading times.  By example, if I have a picture which is 3800 x 3800, 2 MB in size I always in low size it may be 1000 x 1000 and about 150 KB or more.

I know we like think "everyone" has a fast web connection, but I don't think that is always the case and with mobile phone, you must take that into account too.

A colleague working on another site asked me what I thought of his library.  She had a thumb nail, and when you click it, it opens like a box effect to light.  A great photo is 1200 x 1200 and 1 MB in file size.  I did point out to her that she might want to enlarge the photo and if she wants to keep the 1200 x 1200 fine, but she may want to reduce the size of the file.  I got up to about 180 KB and sent them to his side by side.  She said she worried about the quality (I honestly didn't notice anything either, but maybe his eyes is better than mine).

I know that there is always a Catch 22 of 'quality vs. file size.'  So with all that said, I just request links, opinion, and so forth on this subject.  I also tried explaining that phones do not always have excellent connections to the downsizing should be taken into account.

Should I continue to reduce my photos as I've been as described above?  Or it most important - I can take a 1 or 2 MB per photo and just use that for my web image to display in a photo gallery?

Any thoughts, links to articles, etc., are appreciated.  Thanks, Guy deaf

You should definitely continue your current workflow. When properly processed, you cannot tell the difference between a 1 MB file and a file of 250 KB to 1200px. And by proper treatment, I mean using save for Web in PS or export from Lightroom, using the proper compression.

And, as you point out, everyone is not on a fast connection, and there is no reason to use more bandwidth bandwidth (and storage) as necessary.

  • Best app for the batch processing of photos for the web?

    I would like to know what is the best application for batch processing photos for the web quickly and easily. I'm a web editor and often need to resize, compress, or crop several photos and would like a quick way to configure the basic parameters and processes for example 20 pictures at once. Basically, I'm looking for something with the ability to FastStone Photo Resizer (I'm on a Mac and cannot use FastStone). I remember an once suggested graphic designer LightRoom - would that be a good idea or Adobe has something else? Or maybe not Adobe at all?

    PhotoShop seems heavy for this purpose: it is ideal to make the photo woth that much at the time, but less large to do less with many pictures at once. I know that I can implement some sort of macro-thingie, but I would like to be able to quickly change settings such as the percentage of compression or the width in pixels.

    I don't need a lot of editing tools, mostly just work in pixels, resizing, compression or cropping and save for the web in .jpg and .png - and Mac.

    I hope someone here can guide me in the right direction.

  • Problems with creating 3D photo tiles/logo for a Web site

    Hi all

    About 6 years ago, I found a great free site where you can create logos/tiles photo 3D fast and easy, with a picture or photograph.  Foolishly, I did not notice their web address and now I can't find it by tapping it, everything in the good old Google.  Fortunately, I have subscribed to Adobes Photoshop CC 14.2 version and I was wondering if you guys would know tutorials, I was able to create logos 3D/tiles for a Web site.  Or your own tutorials bit please? As it would be highly appreciated.

    The only way I can describe my created logo old 6 year/tile, is that it is 149 pixels pixels wide x 217 long and resembles a bathroom tile.  As he seems to have an invisible, internal frame that makes you think that image, is to jump on you.  If Adobe allows you to add images, on their thread with a host external photo, I'll try to add it to this topic.

    " < img src = ' http://I125.Photobucket.com/albums/p63/leosun848/Yes.jpg "border ="0"alt =" full Angel photo YES.jpg YES "/ > "

    I look forward to your advice.

  • How to download photos of 'Photos' to any Web site

    I usually download the photos from my SD card on "Photos" app on Mac.

    Recently I wanted to download a photograph of the 'Photos' to a Web site. But when I click on the upload button, I get a finder window where in which I'm not able to see the photos of the "Photo". Can anyone help me on how to download photos of 'Photos' on any Web site through a browser.

    Thank you

    Babunath

    You can right click on your "iPhoto Library" (in the Finder, at least) it will open like a folder and press "Show Package Contents". The original images are in the original named file and images published in the "modified" folder (in iPhoto) I'm not sure of the folder "Data" (an alias for Data.noindex), it may just be a backup. To check, you can also click with the right button on a photo in iPhoto and select "Show the file" and it will take you to the source location.

    You can create aliases to modified, the data and original folders to facilitate access.

    EMAILING STUFF: When you have a 'Open file' dialog box (to choose the files to download, etc.) on the left, there is also a section of media, which makes it convenient to access iPhoto photos. Pretty easy actually, not need to navigate in a package.

  • My expecthat there would be no ads, ads vulgar photo when viewing web sites. How do I fix this? Thank you.

    I opened the website of a local newspaper and there was an announcement, with a hanging all the Lady and I am seeing this and is therefore my 9 and 6 years old. Someone I know who uses Firefox told me that it does not have ads. If we now try Firefox on its recommendation, but I don't know what to do to eliminate the ads.

    You should not get any ads using Firefox, unless Web site to specifically the ads there.
    You can scan your computer for malware and get an addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/?src=ss

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

  • Different help for different Web Site areas

    I am facing a big enough task to work. Here's the scenario: there is a web site (AKA the parent domain) parent who is using the Site. The web site parent has several subsites (subdomains). Each of those subsites need to have their own help, which may be different from using the Site displayed in the site parent, but still need to use the same source files and output. Creating different projects for each subdomain is not an acceptable option for several reasons. We must be able to 'turn on' and 'disable' visibility in selected pages and information on the selected pages.

    How can this be accomplished without generating (and the maintenance of separate projects) for each subdomain?

    Example usage: using the Site for the website parent has three help pages to create a survey - 1) seizure of analytical data, 2) download the survey and 3) edition of the survey. On the Edit poll page, there are 5 fields containing information that the user can change. Site Help for the subdomain of the web site parent may just have two of the help pages - enter summary information and edit (no download page of the survey) survey. Also, on the edit poll page, only 3 of the 5 fields can be changed - the other 2 fields must not be displayed using the Site for the subdomain.

    How can I use the same Site Help for the web site parent and the subdomain (i.e. use the same source files and output files), but hide the loading survey page and hide the 2 of the 5 fields on the edit poll page in aid of the Site for only the subdomain? I already thought about the use of conditional compilation tags, but it seems to me that this would require generating different projects (for example, different output files) and I doubt that it will be an acceptable solution for our needs.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

    Your product "structure" reminds me of product from my client. Four years ago, it was similar to your description. Today, it has evolved and applications 'tailor-made' are based on a basic application, but EVERYTHING is kept separate until subdirectories for each topic within the app. Even my help reflects this subdirectory of application and the file naming convention. This makes it much easier to keep track of all of the project for a client gave (the 18 500 files for my client).

    If possible, to manage the aid project in pieces. Due to the structure of the domain (subdirectory) void help right from the start. The only place where it gets referenced is in the Site Help links and this is better managed as projects merged, as suggested by Peter Grainge.

    The 'core' Help is that you create and provide to the developers of project. Don't forget to provide a detailed list of the names, titles, functions, etc., and instructions on how to import basic assistance in a new project to help customize for customer. With this approach, you need separate directories of project on your servers as each project custom generated help will have common file names but different content. The positive side to this is easy using the Site maintenance when a subproject of field is updated.

    So how is your architect approaching the application? Do you use a container (common) window with other frames, fields, or combination of the two, which are populated based on a previous selection? Or y at - it a unique window based on a previous selection? How aid is requested in GUI - a help button / icon, hotkey - the call triggers a JavaScript written to your application toolbar? You use the simple call to RoboHelp style or is it suitable for reading the file name of the displayed content window? Could use a lot more information to help set up an approach.

    I think you have a lot to plan in advance and more than one session of stop in the head with the developers. Good luck!

    Kind regards

  • Cannot create a shortcut on the desktop for a Web site in the browser Firefox Tor

    I am a user of Tor Browser, and I love the interface of Firefox. According to my page, my Firefox browser is up-to-date. But for some reason I can't save shortcuts to office for a Web site. Whenever I drag the icon beside a Web site (variously a glob, a green bolt and other icons), I get a mouse icon of denial no matter where I try to put the web shortcut on the desktop. This happens even when I drag the bookmarks of my bookmark bar! My guess is that something is blocked in Tor allowing no shortcuts settings. Any suggestions on where the parameters of the shortcuts are in Firefox?

    Fred, all other modules worked well. I contacted the people of Tor, and they were unsure of what's going on. I've pasted their response below, but the short answer is that they have me just save shortcuts manually from the office whenever the Tor Button is active. Thanks for your help, you've been great!

    Drag events filtering and blocking the external application

    External applications can be induced to load files that perform network
    activity. Unfortunately, there are cases where these applications can be launched
    automatically with little or no user intervention. To avoid this,
    Torbutton installs a component to provide the user with a popup when
    the browser is trying to launch a helper application.

    In addition, modern desktop computers now preemptively look for all URLS in drag
    and events move as soon as the drag is initiated. This download happens
    independently Tor browser setting and can be triggered by
    something as simple as holding the mouse button for a little too
    time by clicking a link to the image. Filter us drag and drop events
    events of Torbutton before the OS downloads the URL contained events.
