Importing and printing photos in Appleworks

If I drag a picture from iPhoto into an AppleWorks document, and then print it, the photo comes out in reduced resolution. (This doesn't occur if I drag the photo into a Word document. In Word, the resolution is the same as I would get when directly printing from iPhoto.)
AppleCare Technical Support can't suggest a solution. Can anyone help? I am using AppleWorks version 6.2.9.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions Stephen
There are two issues at work here. First, AppleWorks
changes the resolution of any graphic format except
PICT to 72 dpi. The best solution to this problem is
to save the image as PICT before inserting into
AppleWorks. My favorite for this is Graph
icConverter, but you can use Preview or
Photoshop Elements or any other application that can
save as PICT.
For the second issue, this is a problem than became
more noticeable with AppleWorks 6.2.9 & has something
to do with postscript printing. Go to Preferences >
General > Topic: Text & turn Fractional Character
Widths on.
I can insert complete photos with no problem if I open them up in PictureViewer (OS 9) and copy and paste from there into Appleworks. PictureViewer seems to deal with the images in a different manner than Premiere.
HOWEVER recently I wanted to take four images from Photoshop (where I trimmed around them) and import them into Appleworks where I could collage them together. The pictures import and will print without problem if I do not resize them. Re-sizing the images cause pixelation around the edges when printing. The pixelation is not visible on the computer screen. The pictures were imported into Photoshop originally at 72 dpi.
Is there any way to copy an image (not a complete photo file, i.e., PICT) from Photoshop and import it successfully as a graphic?
On the other hand, is there an earlier version of Appleworks that works more efficiently with images?

Import and rename photos via Automator and ExifTool

Hiya,
Just finished my work on a Automator workflow in order to import and rename photos from a portable hard disk.
I had the problem that my portable hard disk (with integrated card-reader) was not recognised by Image Capture or Aperture. Therefore I couldn't import my photos straight away into Aperture.
Another problem I had was that Aperture doesn't rename photos while importing. Whereas other Automator actions offer this feature, they all didn't fulfill my requirements - yeah, I can be very fussy
That's why I started initially to write a Perl script based on ExifTool in order to copy and rename photos to my liking. Once this was done and very much in use, I started to put it into an Automator action with a little AppleScript around it.
Eventually, I initiated the entire Automator workflow with the Check For Disk action.
More information and the files needed can be found on my website http://photography.stephanjaeger.eu/2007/03/improve-your-digital-photography-wor kflow.html.
The only drawback of this script is that only one camera is supported. At the moment, I work on a solution to support several cameras.
The Perl script can used by itself, if you feel comfortable in using the Terminal.
I hope you find the information and the Automator action helpful.
Any feedback appreciated.
Best regards,
Stephan Jaeger

Brian,
Thanks for giving it a try. Let me know how you get on!
If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me.
By the way, you don't have to use an external hard disk. You could replace easily the first step in that workflow with an other action, such as defining a folder that should be monitored, or selecting manually a folder that contains photos.
I hope that I find some time over the week-end to make some changes to the script. I will set up as well a page on my web site with more details.
All the best,
Stephan

Help with photoshop elements 8 mac and printing photos

Here is my issue and I had the same problem with the trial aperture 3. My photos from iPhoto 9 print out nice glossy frame worthy pictures on my 4x6 photo paper. However PSE 8 prints out the same photo with poor quality and streaky lines. iPhoto print outs seem to take almost a minute to print out, and PSE photos take like 20 sec so Its not making second pass or perhaps it doesn't know its printing to glossy photo paper?
Its not the printer since I am getting awesome photos from iPhoto 9, anyone have similiar issues like this.
Other then printing I'm very impressed with PSE 8 for the mac.
Thank you
Matt

Thank you Barbara, that was it. Printing out great photos from PSE now.

Using Aperture 3 and printing photos, is it best to export the photo CMYK as a TIFF?

Using Aperture 3 and CMYK when printing photos, is it best to export as a TIFF and if so as bit 8 or bit 16? Thanks!

Yes. 16-bit TIFF.

Importing and organizing photo files lightroom 5 for the first time. Clean up hard drive photo files

I have a trial version of lightroom 5 and would like once and forall to bring some order to both my hard drives and lightroom 5 collection. Some photos in lightroom 5 seem to have lost their path. some are in Window 7 folders and others are in Elements 9. I have made back up copies of some folders and would like to have a more systematic approach to back them up from now on. I have a NAS (network access storage) device and an extra hard drive I thought it would be best to use my laptop as the primary working memory for my photo files as it would be faster than working with the NAS or external, and then back everything up to the NAS and external. I see the main challenge as consolidating all of the files and whereever possible preserving the ratings I have given photos; I would like to eliminate duplicats. on both the hard drive and in lightroom. i have looked at one of the initial training vidios on the 'library' section of adobe help and the presenter talked of two methods of importing photos,. the first and the one I think I will use going forward is to open lightroom and import from the sd card directly as opposed to having Windows 7 import and then having lightroom find them. If someone kows of a comprehensive list of instructions to follow to clean up my hard drives that would be extremly helpful? Peter

I doubt there is a list of instructions to clean up a hard drive, because every starting sitaution is different, and your "clean" is probably a lot different than my "clean".
But let's clear up a few things first. Based on your writing, it seems like you think you have photos stored in PSE and photos stored in LR. This is not correct. Neither of these programs store your photos. All of your photos are on your hard disk, in folders, somewhere.
With regards to missing photos in Lightroom, when you move or rename photos and folders OUTSIDE of Lightroom, Lightroom no longer knows where they are, and reports them as missing. To fix it, see: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm Related to this, you don't want to "clean up" things in Windows and also "clean things" up in Lightroom. Instead, once you import photos into Lightroom, you should do all photo management in Lightroom, not Windows, otherwise you will just be creating more missing files.
With regards to duplicates, Lightroom has some tools to detect duplicates. It will try to prevent duplicates on import, and if you do manage to import duplicates, you can use the "AutoStack by Capture Time" to try to find additional duplicates. But if those don't work, then you're pretty much on your own.
With regards to putting photos on your laptop to work on them rather than your external HD, I think you will find that this provides a tiny fraction of a second improvement in speed which you may not even notice, which will be offset by the time you spend moving photos to somewhere else when you are done. So, just put the photos in their final destination folder on your external HD or NAS, and don't bother moving them to the internal HD.
Which brings up another point. Once you have accomplished this "clean up", your workflow should be to put the photos in one place, and then don't move them! (Exception: running out of space on disk, or moving to a new disk/computer) Make your life as simple as possible.
One last point: strongly consider using keywords and other metadata to achieve organization, instead of moving photos/folders from here to there to achieve organization. These tools in Lightroom give you ability to organize in much more powerful and flexible organization than anything you can do by moving photos/folders from here to there. (Side note: if you want all photos in some sort of centralized location because it meets your storage needs, then do that because it meets your storage needs. Within that collection of photos in a centralized location, use keywords and other metadata to achieve organization and for searching)

When I import and edit photos on my ipad, the changes are only reflected on that ipad. If I upload the edited pictures to facebook, my ipad uploads dont reflect the edits?

I've recently started using my ipad to upload and edit photos. When I import the photos I then crop, enhance, etc and save the edited version. If I upload the edited photos to facebook, or even download to my home computer, the edits do not appear. On my ipad, only the edited versions appear, even when looking at the pictures uploaded to facebook, but from any other device (computer, iphone, or another ipad) the pictures are the original unedited versions? What gives- i'm saving the edits, and deleting any unedited versions?

This is the iPhoto forum. Iphoto does not work on the iPad, only on Mac OS X, so you need to post on the forum for whatever you are using on the iPad.

IPhoto crashed during import and deleted photos from import

I tried to use iPhoto today to import 400+ photos from a recent holiday from my iPhone. When prompted I chose to delete the photos from my phone. When iPhoto was in the 'finishing import' stage it crashed and I was forced to force quit it. I assumed that because it said the import was complete and then asked if I wanted the photos deleted it had stopped working during the deleting and the photos would be safe in my iPhoto library. However, when I went into my library, none of the photos had been imported and all but 40 had been deleted from my phone. At the moment I stand to lose 400+ family photos.
Is there anyway to recover them?
My last backup of my iPhone included them on our family computer (I'm currently at university) - would this help? I wouldn't want to restore my phone from this backup becasue I've now got new information on the phone (incl. more photos) which I don't want to lose.
Also, I tried to import these photos in order to make sure I had them saved before upgrading to iOS6. Would doing this affect the temporary files which (I assume) the photos still are on my phone, albeit hidden? Would using my phone in other capacities (i.e. taking photos, texting, using internet, calls etc.) effect the data? Or am I wrong and the photos are in temporary files on my laptop?
Thanks

First try the following to make sure they are not in the library but just not getting recognized by iPhoto: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Alternative way to import and organize photos?

Hi,
I've got a mixed Mac/XP setup, and would like to make all photos available to all users. I'll be implementing iPhoto on the Macs, obviously.
Currently, I've got all my photos organized by directory in a YEAR/MONTH/DAY/CAMERA hierarchy. This makes it fairly easy to browse with nothing more than Finder/XP Explorer.
I'm thinking I'll keep this format, and just have iPhoto reference these files in their current locations, since the iPhoto organization is less intuitive for those that can't use iPhoto (those being the XP users on my network).
Is there an easy way to download photos into this hierarchy, then launch iPhoto, and tell it to add these newly downloaded files to the library, referenced in their current location? Perhaps an ImageCapture/Automator type workflow?
Thanks.

welcher:
To keep your file system the way you want and have auto import of your files you'd need an application like iView MediaPro. I have auto update capability for adding files/folders to it's system, called a catalog. I use it as my primary image management application and iPhoto for creating books, calendars, cards, etc. iVMP allows you to annotate the files and write those annotations back to the file itself. It also lets you rename the actual file names, either individually or in batches. I use it to rename each file with it's EXIF Capture Date in the format YYYY-MM-DD-description-001.jpg, -002, jpg, etc. That gives me excellent chronological sorting and searching capabilities in any application. iVMP also lets you create hierarchical Catalog Sets for advanced organization.
The alias based system that you're considering will keep your "source" files in the same structure as you'd like but, as Terence pointed out, you have to add the new files manually. I you could add a folder action to each of your source file folders to automatically import into iPhoto any new file added to that folder. However, that file(s) would come into iPhoto in it's/their own roll. Another caveat of the alias based system is that if you delete a photo from iPhoto you have to delete it manually from your source files. AND you can't move or rename the source files once they've been imported into iPhoto.
You can somewhat mimic your folder structure by creating folders, sub folder, albums and smart albums in the Source pane to group your photos as desired. You can also use the calendar at the bottom of the Souce pane (on the left) to locate files by year/month/date. You can also use Smart Albums to group photos by camera ( and go farther and sort by year/month/camera - by day would be too many smart albums IMO).
There are a lot of ways to achieve what you want. My Tutorials have some additional information on using iPhoto's alias system.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I want to import and restore photos that I previously had in an older version of Photoshop Elements.

Is it easy to import and restore from an older version? '
Any pitfalls?

If you're installing the new version of PSE on the same computer, and the actual photos have not been moved, the new version of PSE will find your old catalog and offer to upgrade the catalog to the new version. Your old catalog will remain untouched -- the new version of the catalog will be a separate catalog.

Aperture 2 and printing photos top & bottom margins

Hello,
Is it me or does Aperture 2 (Trial) missing the top & margin settings when printing a photo ?
What I mean is if it's possible to move the photo around vertically (top or bottom) and by seeing
the dimension...like in Lightroom.
Ok, there are possibilites to decenter photos in 'Books' mode but I didn't find a ruler (neither for the dimensions of the photos and neither for the whole page) and that's not very practical.
Thanks,
gilles

I don't know specifically about any improvements regarding keywords from Aperture 1.5 to 2.0 but in Aperture 2.1 you are able to add and search hierarchical keywords structures.
One very important thing to know is that you ALWAYS have to add keywords to the hierarchical keyword structure in the keyword HUD BEFORE you apply them to your specific images.
Aperture is actually smart enough to distinguish between the same word used in different places in your keyword hierarchy. Here is an example. Let us say that you have created the following keyword hierarchy in your keyword HUD:
/Wildlife/Bird/Duck/Male
/Wildlife/Bird/Duck/Female
/Wildlife/Kangaroo/Male
/Wildlife/Kangaroo/Female
If you do a simple text search by typing the search word into the search field then:
If you search for "Wildlife" all your male and female ducks and kangaroos will show up.
If you search for "Bird" your male and female ducks will show up.
If you search for "Male" your male ducks and male kangaroos will show up.
But if you are looking for only your male ducks then you just open the keyword brick in the search HUD and here you will see that there are actually two different "Male" keywords. Just next to those two keywords the upper hierarchy keyword is listed in parentheses. You just check the one you want.
Again in order for this hierarchy structure to work then you must add new keywords in the keyword HUD before you add them to your images. All keywords you add to your images by typing directly into the keyword field in the metadata viewer will appear at the top level of your keyword hierarchy.

HELP!!Need to import and print vector drawings

I am trying this topic again in the hope of help. I need to
import drawings in a vector format for printing. These drawings
will be cast members not sprites. I have tried printing a swf
version via Printomatic but it cannot print Flash members. My
questions are:
1. Is therre any way to print a swf cast member (not a
sprite)
2. How can I import an EPS file? - I have heard that it can
be done but every version I have tried seems to fail

Darrel Plant has written an importer for .ai and .eps files.
You can get
it at:
http://www.moshplant.com/direct-or/ps2vs/
Haven't used it for a while but it works pretty good.
Downside is that it creates multiple members because Director
can't
(couldn't?) handle multiple-line vector members.

Import and print a PDF file

I'm using a SAPSCRIPT to printout documents (as production orders).
And I need to attach a PDF file to this document .
The only way I found, is to export the PDF file to PCL file and then import it as a STANDARD TEXT (so to include it in the SAPSCRIPT) using the program 'RSTXLDMC'.
But I need a way to import direct the PDF file to scapscript, is it possbile ?
Thanks

Sorry, I loaded Snow Leopard so had to create a new user temporarily (Yarp001) ...
I tried the Print as Bitmap option but no difference. I'm looking at a software/hardware colour management solution.

How can i keep my iphoto imports and onedrive photos in the same place and synced to onedrive?

I currently subscribe to Office365 and use OneDrive to sync all my docs and files from my old Windows PC to my Mac (OSX Mavericks).
I have a tons of photos already on OneDrive and would like to so my PhotoSteam and also when I import photos or use iPhoto that it uses the OneDrive Photo folder/directory.
Is this possible?
As a new OSX users I am not sure how to do this, in Windows I would have just changed the directory of the Picture library but cannot see a way to do this on OSX.
Any help and pointers (in as simple steps as possible!) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

Yes it is possible but no you really, really don't want to do this if you're using iPhoto.
You can't put an iPhoto Library on OneDrive. It's not a Directory, but a rather complex ecosystem of sql database, files, caches and metadata. Basically, you're trying to run a Mac database from a Windows disk and that's always going to cause problems. (as doing the reverse would too.)
You can (in theory) run iPhoto with storing the files on OneDrive but don't. iPhoto has no tools to manage this set up properly, and you're only storing up issues for further down the road.

Importing and removing photos in Photoshop elements 9

Hi
Im sorry, but i dont completely understand your answer, although it was a little helpful.
The first sentence you advised to make sub folders in windows program.
Im pretty sure thats what ive done. But i thought it would automatically update to PSE. You mentioned it would not. Thankyou for that part.
I have cleared/re organised my windows picture folders and organised them into sub folders but when i went into PSE the old pic files and folders were showing there - except they advised no picture or data is available.
So this confuses me as there is too much files in PSE now and i cant seem to get rid of them.
The other concern is the new photos i have loaded into windows pictures program, how do i get them into PSE. This is really hard to explain in email., so i do apologise if i dont make sense or repeat myself.
But my main concern is if PSE doesnt update why does it keep old pic folders in the program if nothing is available.
i tried to uninstall and then reinstall and start teh program all over again with my newly organised windows folders but the old stuff remianed even though i uninstalled the program ????
Thanks

If you want to Organize your photos with PSE Organizer you need to make any folder changes from within the Organizer program with the Move command, not from Windows Explorer.
PSE Organizer is only a database and it does not actually keep your photos it only keeps a pointer as to their location and a thumbnail of the photos. When you move your photos around in Windows Explorer that have previously been logged into the Organizer database the Organizer has no way to know that you made all these changes.
Uninstalling/reinstalling the program is not going to fix this as the uninstall does not delete the database catalog.
Your best option at this point if you want to use the Organizer is to create a new catalog and import your photos to the new catalog. Use File>>Catalog and select New to create the new catalog. Use File>>Get Photos and Videos>>By Searching to reload your photo pointers. Choose the appropriate location to search. It will take some time (possible a few hours) to regenerate all the thumbnail views of your photos once they are imported if you have a large number of photos. Just let it finish Generating Thumbnails before trying to use the program.
To improve program performance Go to Edit>>Preferences>Media-Analysis and un-check all options. They are a huge resource hog on new catalogs. Also check the backup\sync option and uncheck it for now. You will see a improved system once the thumbnails have completed.
Your other concern about loading new photos into PSE Organizer depends on how and where you initially load the photos. If from a camera or a card reader PSE should detect that and you should choose to run the PSE Organizer from the dialog window that opens when connecting your camera or card reader.

Settings for Canon EOS 450, Adobe Camera RAW, PS CS 5 and printing photos

I have a Canon CS EOS 450, have used PS CS5 in the past. I have now been made aware of Camera RAW and have started using it. My problem is that the images varies when I open the photos in different programs. My laptop is a HP Probook, 64 bit, Windows 7, etc.
So, my question is about settings on the different devices; Camera and programs:
1. I shoot in RAW, so I believe no change in camera settings.
2. Adobe CR- I use white balance, contrast, clarity, and vibrance. Any programme changes on ACR programme necessary (ie colour, etc in the programme to match with my screen?))
3. Biggest difference between moving from ACR to PS CS5- usually a big difference between these two (colour; sharpness)
4. And what would be the best proramme to watch the photos that will look as close to what I will get if I print these in photos?

You should read up on color management. It's relatively complex, and is difficult to teach in a forum thread.
Your raw conversions are (if you haven't changed the defaults) being converted to the Adobe RGB 1998 color space.
I suspect you'll see some initial improvement in consistency by doing the following:
Open a raw image to get the Camera Raw dialog.
Click the little link at the bottom center.
Change the Adobe RGB default color space to sRGB.
Complete the opening of the file.
This will set the color space for further conversions to sRGB, which is likely going to seem more consistent when you open the images in your other apps.
After you learn more about color management, and you understand how the parts interact and what additional steps you'll need to consider, you may well want to change this setting back, or even go so far as to change it to ProPhoto RGB, which has the largest gamut.
