Exclude an entire category of images based on tags

I like to ensure that all my photos have the location tagged in them. However, some old photos have not had this done. I would like to show all photos that do not have any tag from the category of "Places". For some other groupings, I've been able to accomplish this by right clicking on the tag and using "Exclude media with..." to hide photos that have that one tag. However, to accomplish what I am asking, I would have to do this for each an every tag and sub-category within the category of "Places".
There must be an easier way.
FYI: I'm using PSE10
Thanks,
Ed

I don't think so.  The Find...By Details (MetaData) dialog box I showed in reply to your other question inexplicably does not allow a "not included" clause for keyword tags.  That's a sorry excuse for a database application. 
You can request that feature at
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop_element s
Added:
On second thought, you might get what you want by building a query which contains all keyword tags except the keyword tag (or category) you want.  Then, after the results are displayed in Organizer, use the "Options...Hide Results that do not match" as kind of a reverse query:
Awkward, and you'll get extra images if they're in a version set or stack, but that looks like the best at present.  The ones you want will have the little "No" icon on 'em:
On third thought (I gotta get some sleep... ), build a query containing the keyword tag or category for your location and then use the "Hide..." option to reverse the query.

  • Why is elements better at photomerge than CC- CC does not appear to automatically fill image based on content but elements does when merging a panorama. Also the stitching is visable in CC but almost perfect in elements- why?

    I took 6 panorama shots of a scene and used CC to Photomerge them as one. Couldn't see where to automatic blend the edges and there was 'stitch' lines when the images were merged. So i did the same in Elements 11 and it was perfect. Am i doing something wrong in CC or perhaps not doing something at all?
    Any help, please?
    Dave

    Hi - Thanks for taking the time to reply and i appreciate the remarks- if a little harsh- we all have to start somewhere and i am fully aware of the limitations of Elements which is why i decided to add CC to my software. I can only say that if an inferior quality software from Adobe does the job well then CC must also be suited to doing the same which is why i can only think, from your comments, that i have not done something simple- however- following tutorials to get to the end result should have sufficed- it didn't so perhaps i will consider posting the difference between the two applications- and, perhaps suffer a few more 'harsh' comments. The learning curve is quite steep and i am a visual learner, but i'm also not totally incompetent:)
    Kind Regards

    First a clarification: you are not addressing Adobe here in these user forums.  You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
    I'll give it my best shot anyway.
    Few folks in this forum are really familiar with Elements, for which there's a dedicated, totally separate forum.
    Different engineering teams, also.
    From this perspective, it will be difficult to give you a direct answer to your "why?" question.
    Personally, I blend very large panorama shots in Photoshop proper since I can't even remember when without any issues whatsoever, up to and including in Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.
    Without being at your computer and without looking at your images, I couldn't even begin to speculate what you are doing wrong in Photoshop, which I suspect you are.  The least you could show is post examples from your panoramas that have gone wrong.
    I can tell you that panorama stitching requires significant overlap between the individual shots, besides common-sdense techniques like a very solid tripod and precision heads.
    The only version of Elements I have ever used for any significant time was Elements 6 for Windows, which I bought in 2008 to use on a PC (I've been an avid Mac user for 30 years).  I found Elements so limited and so bad that I successfully demanded a refund from Adobe.  IU mention this only to emphasize that I can truly only address your question from a Photoshop (proper) and Mac user point of view.  I couldn't care less about Elements, but if you have comparison examples of panoramas processed in both applications, by all means post those two.
    Generally speaking Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve, while Photoshop has many hand-holding features for amateurs and beginners.
    Perhaps the bottom line is that you should stick with Elements if you personally manage to get better results there.

  • How can I show or hide an image based on screen size in CS6?

    I have a web site built using Dreamweaver CS6. I used the fluid grid layout to have different views for each of the 3 types - phone, tablet, desktop. It works well, resizes as it should. I would like to be able to show an image in the desktop version but not the mobile version. How could I do that? I can see in the .css file that different size screens can have their own different settings. Is there code I could add that would hide/show and image based on the users viewport on the same page? Let's say I have a div tag named picture. How could I add a parameter to the picture div tag in the style sheet that would hide the image if it was mobile?
    thanks,
    Marilyn

    Insert image into a container div.
    Desktop CSS:
    #divName {
    height: xxxpx
    width: xxxpx
    Tablet & Mobile CSS:
    #divName {display:none}

  • Site that automatically resizes images based on browser size

    Hi. I need to make a site that automatically adjusts the size of the images based on the browser size, but keeps the image quality. Does anyone know how to do this without using flash?
    I basically want the site to perform like [http://www.shotview.com/|http://www.shotview.com/] . Thanks for your help.

    first time accessing website get screen size info using javascript and then redirect to next page and store screen size info into session. then, when requesting pictures from browser use custom servlet, mapped to image extension, that renders images to different resolution.

  • Re-save a PDF so contents are image-based?

    Is there quick and easy way to do this? I know it will inflate the file size, but that's not important for my applications. Basically, I want all the contents of an existing text-based PDF to be image-based, as if I was a document I optically scanned, but without the need to print it out, and run it through a scanner. Is this possible? Thanks

    Ah nice idea. Now, is it possible to perform this in a batch fashion?
    Ideally, I want my user to be able to drop a bunch of PDF's in a directory, run a batch file, and then they will be "converted" as described above.
    Are there command line arguements for Acrobat that could do this? Using X Standard here.

  • Display image based on conditions.

    Hi every one.
    We have to display image (circle) based on three conditions.
    Example; if employee is < 1000 small circle, if salary is > 1000 and < 10000 medium size circle and >10000 big size circle.
    And second condition if employee location is East coast fill black color in that circle, west coast red color central green color.
    Third condition is if employee joining date is less than two years I should display * (Star symbol) in that circle.
    I am trying to create conditional format but it is possible to display only one image .
    My question is how can I change size and color if the image based on conditions and display start symbol with in the image.
    I think I have to create different own images to display for every conditions.
    Is there any way to create my report?
    Thank you very much for your time and help.

    Hi,
    If you want to display everything in one image for end user you need to do some trick.
    sal orginal     region orginal      Joining date     Sal decode value     Region decode value     Joining date decode value      ImageCode
    100     east     20\2\2008     1     10     100     111
    200     WEST     20\2\2008     1     20     100     121
    300     NORTH     20\2\2009     1     30     200     211
    300     NORTH     20\2\2008     1     30     100     131
    100     east     20\2\2008     1     10     100     111
    2000     west     20\2\2009     2     20     200     222
    30000     south     20\2\2009     3     40     200     243
    Create few more columns in your answers, as following
    Salary decode value: based on your original salary decode it to 1 or 2 or 3
    region decode value: based on your regions decode it to 10 or 20 or 30 or 40
    joining date decode value: based on joining date decode it to 100 or 200
    Image code add all of decoded values ie 1+10+100 = 111
    In report show image based on image code
    i.e from above table row1 image code is 111 (small black circle), last record BigCircle Red with Star.
    Pain full thing is you need to create 24 images on your own(3(salary range)*4(regions)*2(join dates) =24) and place all 24 conditions in that column.
    --Hope it helped you
    Thanks

  • Collecting "similar" images based on appearance??

    Can anyone recommend a Mac application that can aid in identifying "similar" images (from a specified group of many images) based on visual appearance??
    In the past, I've used Microsoft's Expression Media Pro (formerly iView Media Pro) to assist me in gathering 'like' images which are similar in visual appearance to one another. This proved to be a tremendous aid over the years in situations where I found myself trying to collect images that were 'virtual' duplicates of one another, but could not be collected by so-called 'duplicate finder' apps because they didn't share the same metadata, resource fork, date created/modified, size, name, etc...
    _An example of how this might happen:_
    - "Open" an image into Photoshop
    - "Edit Menu > Duplicate...",
    - "Save As" with a different name...
    +(in this example, some of the original metadata would be retained, but other identifiable info would be lost).+
    _Another example would be if you_
    - "Open" an image into Photoshop
    - "Select All"
    - "Copy"
    - "New Document" +(which inherently uses the copied dimensions and resolution on the clipboard from the previous step)+
    - "Paste"
    - "Flatten"
    - "Save As"
    Here is a screenshot of Expression Media Pro's "Show Similar" dialog box:
    Without going off on too much of a tangent, I've lost complete faith in iView Media Pro (which used to be my Digital Asset Management app of choice) ever since Microsoft bought it and turned it into Expression Media Pro...it's been way too buggy and has become all but unusable for me and my day-to-day needs...
    It would be a tremendous help if someone could help me out here by recommending a Mac app to find and gather images based on their appearance...
    Thanks!

    I assume that these images are not inside an iPhoto library? Because all those ‘Save As...’ commands would confuse things a lot in iPhoto.
    I’ve not tried this myself but it might help:

  • Unable to create image-based pop-up menu

    Working in FW MX (yes, I know I'm behind the times!).
    Created a pop-up menu; want to experiment with image-based
    options, rather than html. When I choose IMAGE on the Appearance
    tab of the pop-up editor, no styles are available in the style
    choosers for up/over states. (And there ARE styles in the
    assets--including some that I've just created.) Furthermore, when I
    click through the NEXT buttons to DONE, then return to edit this
    pop-up menu, it's defaulted back to html. Image just won't stick.
    The documentation says this should be simple and
    straightforward, but it ain't. I've spent several hours struggling
    with this.

    Okay, on the suggestion of one tech support person, I logged
    in as a different Windows user. Whaddaya know, the style options
    were there! However, when the file is exported, all I get is the
    html version, no image/style-based popup. Same when I preview it in
    browser (IE7, FireFox). But the preview in the pop-up editor does
    show the styles applied--they just don't make it to publication for
    some reason.

  • How to change images based on action.Even clicking changed images should ?

    how to change images based on action.
    Even clicking changed images should do respective actions.
    and while displaying only one image at a time sholud get displayed.
    I am using three images for a single column of a table in Jsp.
    Any clues.
    Any link for any good javascript html jsp site where i can find some good solution.
    vijendra

    In broad way if i say i have multiple situations in mutiple tables where i need such a logic to operate in for all tables.
    lets say in first time load of page by default one image will be displayed (one with sorted order for first column rest all non sorted)Now after every click to any image respective sort should get called.along with all images should get changed.Here with every function one/two images will get effect at least.
    As in first if i say sort by desc then this image will change rest all will remain in unsort form.
    when i move to other column and click on new image the previos will convert to unsort and new one will convert to sort by ascending. rest all will be in unsort form as it is.
    Now it seems like same logic is required with two three conditions.
    even for everyaction different parametrs has to be passed at differnt situations.
    Any good idea if someone can suggest.
    I will be very greatful for him.
    thanks

  • Look of image-based subtitles in Adobe Encore

    Hello,
    I'm using Adobe Encore CS5.1 and I would like to create a simple Blu-ray with image-based selectable subtitles. For this I produce a FAB Image Script with the appropriate PNG files in an external application and import the FAB Image Script into Encore. So far, everything works fine and it is no problem to get the subtitles in sync to the video/audio. The problem is that the subtitles look ugly (extremly pixelated edges) as soon they are imported into Encore although the PNG files look perfectly sharp with smooth edges when I open them in Photoshop.
    Does anybody know what I have to do that the subtitles also look nice in Encore? I played around with the import settings in Encore ("Map Color" window), but I didn't find a way to bring the subtitles into my Encore timeline in an acceptable style.
    I would appreciate any help very much!
    Can it be that I have to choose another option to produce and import the subtitles?
    Does anybody know if there is a difference between Encore CS5.1 and CS6 regarding this topic?
    Thank you!
    Best regards
    Mark

    No, I am surprised that this hasn't been sorted out. My feeling is that I must be doing something wrong. I have been playing around wiuth subs in encore, and the text feature has been producing the best results. Check this out:
    Even with this I had to adjust the size, kern, etc, and sometimes the adjustments were really small. I would love more advice on the subject.

    Two days ago, I loaded Light Room 6. Today I went back to Light Room 5. LR 6 corrupted an entire folder of images, and caused errors on my Raid 5 causing win 7 to run "Chk Dsk" and fix the errors to the operating system. LR 5 has not shut down for the last 5 hours. LR 6 has a serious bug. Anyone else experiencing this problem. Yesterday I was on tech support, waiting for 3 hours, finally they picked up and informed me there department was closing and someone else would call me on Monday. So, I'm working today and all day Sunday to make up for the down time using LR 6.
    I don't know if the bug exists in the program or the "Creative Cloud.
    Question: Does anyone know why if I bought Light Room 6 [NOT Light Room CC with the monthly rental], I have to enter my serial number if I want to use it?

    Entering the serial number is probably part of the registration process.
    Just out of curiosity, what were you doing on LR6 when the folder of images became corrupted?

  • Place an mp3 player on top of an image in image-based website??

    Hi everyone!
    I am trying to create a website for our company, and have made an image-based website in Photoshop. The whole background is composed of sliced images from a Photoshop file, and I want to add links, drop down menus, a photo slider, and an mp3 player with Dreamweaver. I am having a great deal of trouble as I don't know nearly as much about coding as I would like to!
    Right now I am trying to add an mp3 player to the bottom of our website, but I want it to be on top of the bar at the bottom of the page. Since the bar is technically an image, every time I paste the code for the mp3 player into the HTML, it goes above or below the bar rather than on top of it. Is there any way to remedy this?? Advice would be appreciated! Thanks

    Is there any way we can see your website? Fishing around in the dark is not a good way to give advice.
    I should also mention that the "slicing Photoshop files" method of website building is probably not the way we build websites anymore, if I understand where you are coming from.
    Generally speaking, if you have an image in the background set up in your style sheet, you should be able to put things on top of that image.
    So, let's say we have a div and I'm going to call it "player." We may want to have more than one player on a page, so we'll give it a class:
    CSS:
    .player {
         background-image: url("/path/myimage.jpg");
    HTML:
    <div class="player">
    <audio controls>
      <source src="/path/myaudio.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
      <source src="/path/myaudio.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
    Your browser does not support the audio element.
    </audio>
    </div>
    Now, what I have done here is to create an HTML5 Audio player. The web page with the audio must be HTML5. And you will probably need to edit your .htaccess file to include the following:
    AddType audio/ogg .oga
    AddType video/ogg .ogv
    AddType application/ogg .ogg
