Kodak Gallery (ofoto) and iPhoto 6

I am using iPhoto 6 on a relatively new imac with 3gigs RAM. My wife wants only to be able to use her photos in the way she used to on the PC, and we can't get the photo upload to work at Kodak Gallery, which is where she has years of photos already stored. Safari won't allot multiple selection while uploading via the browser, so I downloaded the Ofoto Express tool for the mac, but can't keep it from crashing. When I select 'Most recent Photos' it works as expected, but when I try to select my entire library it eventually crashes, or if I just chose 'last 12 months' it will also dump.
Can this problem be addressed or fixed? Have others had this problem?
I also read on the Kodak site that I should be able to send the photo directly from within iPhoto, but can't find where or how to do that.
Any help/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

I understand, and that is where I started. i simply received a polite email that was borderline a form response with no usable information. One of those emails that is very frustrating, because the person clearly didn't even comprehend your situation and respond with something basically unrelated.
Then I turned here, since I have had good luck on the mac forums. I was really hoping to identify if others with big iPhoto libraries were having the same issues since this is a popular site (kodak).
Also, my problem is very consistent, which would indicate there is something that could be identified and altered to correct the problem.
Thanks for your response though.

Kodak Gallery Plugin and Iphoto 09

I did not find anything when searching... so my apologies if a similar thread exists elsewhere.
I have not been able to upload photos since upgrading from Iphoto 08 to 09. I used to use the Ofoto Express program to upload, but it ceased working after the upgrade.
I noticed today that an Iphoto plugin also exists, called the Kodak Gallery Plugin. I tried using that today, and in both cases, it is not uploading.
I am concerned that it may be a problem on my machine, as I also tried the Firefox Kodak extension, and it wouldn't accept the pictures I was dragging out of Iphoto 09 into it.
I have 10.5.7, Iphoto 09, Intel Mac Mini that is maxed out on RAM. I'm able to otherwise connect normally to the interweb via ethernet in Safari/FF/Itunes Store/etc.....
Any thoughts on how to fix?

TD, what you said is actually the crux of the problem- I attempted to troubleshoot with Kodak's online help earlier today, but their online chat knew nothing outside of "install. Doesn't work? Uninstall. Repeat". Their final bit of helpful advice was, and I quote, "You need to contact the Iphoto to fix it".
They had no idea when I mentioned that it seemed related to my upgrade from Iphoto 08 to 09......

Kodak Gallery (Ofoto Express) Issues with iPhoto 8

Since uploading iPhoto 8 I haven't been able to get the application that I use for Kodak Gallery (Ofoto Express) to work at all. Anyone else having these issues? If so, do you know a solution or work around??

Ofoto Express is an old app (2004), and it looks like Kodak is not going to update it (not even to put Kodak's name on the app).
Ofoto Express looks for Albums, so it won't find the new iPhoto "events". Good news is that the last event you load is placed in iPhoto's "Recent" folder, which is a folder that Ofoto Express recognizes. So, in iPhoto, select the event that you want to upload to Kodak before loading Ofoto Express.

Kodak digital camera and iphoto

Hello
I have a Kodak digital camera. When I connect it to my imac (osx 10.3 ilife 05) I photo comes up
Asks me if I want to import, and everything works fine except it never mounts on the desktop. I want to dome editing , copy back to the camera and then print photos on the Kodak printer.
Thanks fred

I have that same camera but iPhoto was able to recognize it after downloading the firmware and Kodak EasyShare update. Does the computer recognize your camera at all, through another program like Image Capture? If so, then you might just need to go to iPhoto's preferences and check off the box about opening iPhoto (or any image application you prefer, like Photoshop) when the camera's plugged in. Good luck!
I seem to have the opposite problem on my system-- iPhoto now thinks my camera is always connected, even when it's unplugged and sitting in my bag.

Kodak Gallery / Iphoto

Ok all. VERY new to the MAC world. 2 days old to be exact. I use Kodak Gallery to share my photos with my family. I downloaded it to my computer, twice apparently, because when I go to export my photos to Kodak Gallery, it is in there twice. Does anyone know how I remove the extra one?

Welcome to Mac Land
Is this a plug-in?
Select iPhoto in the Applications folder and go File -> Get Info.
In the Get Info window you can use the Plug-in pane to remove any 3rd party export plugins. So look for two Kodak gallery ones and remove one.

Ordering Photoshop Element Album Print on Kodak Gallery

I have spent many many hours creating an album using Photoshop Element 7,0 and then wanted to print using Kodak Gallery. Did not work. Here is what happened:
Click on the PSE file on the organizer.
Then click 'Order print' and landed on Kodak Gallery site and logged in, I can see my album there but could not find a way to simply order a print copy of it. Only choice seems to select 'New album' which then would force me to redo all the work, reselecting templates etc...
What am I missing ?

A bit more details should help here. Essentially, I am talking about trying to export a PSE album file from Photoshop Element to the Kodak Gallery website to order a print copy. Here how I did it:
1. Went from 'organiser' to Create Photobook, imported all my pictures and created the pse file using Photoshop Element 6,0 templates, backgrounds etc.
2. Saved it in Organiser and on a separate file located on my desktop.
3. Reopen Organiser, clicked on Share, Order print which directed me to Kodak Gallery site. I could see there my pse file or album.
4. Tried to find a print album function to just order a print copy but did not find anything like it.Always forced to go through their 'New album' function which essentially meant redoing all the work.
5. Tried to use the print photo function but then would not import or use pse file, only jpeg.
Hope this help.

Iphoto and Kodak Gallery Plug in or Ofoto Express

I have read multiple iphoto threads about using other upload programs and I use Kodak Gallery.
Does anyone know what the difference is between using either the Kodak Gallery Iphoto Plug in or using the Ofoto Express software from Kodak?
Is one preferred over the other?

I figured out to just use the plug in to upload directly to kodak without having to export out of iphoto then upload with ofoto express.

Kodak Gallery iPhoto plug-in and iPhoto 6

Hi - Recently I downloaded an iPhoto plug-in from kodakgallery.com to more easily upload my photos to the Kodak Gallery website (now that Ofoto Express no longer works). When in iPhoto I select the photos I want to export, select file, select export, and select the kodak gallery tab. The next step is to link this with my kodak gallery account through the "set up" button. When I click the set up button I get the following pop-up window: "No Kodak Gallery Service. Kodak Gallery Service is not available for your location." I live in Rhode Island - is that the location they're referring to? Or is it the location in iPhoto? I have emailed & live chatted Kodak Customer service about this on several occasions, but they haven't had an explanation, and finally (today) said it's a problem with iPhoto. Any advice? Thank you!

Finally, after several months and about thirty emails, online chats and providing feedback, Kodak Gallery said they would tell the iPhoto plug-in developer about my issue (error message: Kodak Gallery Services not available for this location). I was delighted today to find that the plug-in finally works (as the last person also noted)! Thanks all for your comments - it was good to know others were having the same problem.

Iphoto and Kodak gallery

I'm trying to upload my photos through Kodak gallery's new beta version. When I find my iphoto folder it is now available to be highlighted? i.e I can't chose photos from within.
Thank you

Using iPhoto '11 with Kodak Gallery

I can't seem to get iPhoto '11 to export to Kodak Gallery. When I click "Export," nothing at all happens. Does anyone have any ideas?

I've emailed, called, chatted, etc. to Kodak and I get a mess of answers - none of them sound promising. If you can even get a rep who understands that iPhoto has a new version, all they tell you to do is uplaod using one of their other methods. I tried explaining that this solution doesn't work for people who have iPhoto set to leave the raw photo file alone and store the edits in a separate file. They had NO idea what this means. One of their reps actually told me I don't know how to use my computer and I should just learn how to use their uploader on the website then hung up on me. Kodak's support for i-anything has been lame. The last iPhoto plugin was from 2007 and their iphone app is about as old. Both were in dire need of upgrades/updates as it was. So, going forward, I'm using Flickr since they had their upload capability ready the day iPhoto 11 launched.
If anyone gets any updates on this plug in, please post.

Kodak Gallery to iPhoto

How do I download a slideshow in Kodak Gallery to photos in iphoto?
Thanks,

Where is Kodak gallery? Online? You'll need to download the pics to your Mac, then import them to iPhoto and recreate the Slideshow there.

CS4 and Kodak Gallery

In Bridge in CS2 it was possible to share photos with people in your mailing list by uploading the photos to the Kodak Gallery and all the designated people would get an email directing them to the album on Kodak's Easy Share site.
I don't know if that feature was carried into Bridge CS3, but it doesn't seem to be available in Bridge CS4.
Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
Thank you.

My Yahoo toolbar is gone requiring me to press the back button thru all of the pages I've viewed to get back to my homepage. AND more importantly I can no longer use Kodak Gallery. How do I return to an older version of Firefox?

The recent version of Firefox apparently does not support/permit me to see/use the Yahoo toolbar. Therefore, I have to manually page back thru all of the yahoo pages I've visited to get back to the main page.
Also the recent version of Firefox apparently is not compatible with Kodak Gallery's functions; therefore use of my many photo albums stored online is no longer available.
Apparently I need to go back to an older version of Firefox or use another browser.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Photo Books - Crop and Color Issues from Kodak Gallery

I've been spending a good amount of time creating photo books and ordering them from Kodak using the built-in online ordering feature.
I've noticed several items that I was curious if others have any experience perspective on.
1. Cropping. For a flexible full bleed photo book, the page as it is represented in PSE3 is substantially cropped when Kodak processes the book. The difference between the two is almost 1/2 on either side and 1/4 inch on on the top a bottom. (These are approximate numbers) Have others seen this? It would be nice to have a border in the software showing where the page will be cropped since the Kodak service and PSE3 are so tightly integrated.
2. The colors come seem to come off a bit dark as compared to prints I have ordered and the images are all very slightly pixelated as compared to prints. Nothing awful, but not what you would want for your best photos.
I am hoping to learn if others have seen these issues and learned to live with them or are the other photo book providers that could turn a pdf into a higher quality book?
Thank you for your assistance.

I haven't used the Kodak Gallery for photo books. I have been tempted a time or two, but so far I have ordered my books through Mypublisher.com. The product is about the same. And I saw one of their books last Christmas and was impressed with it. In reading through the instructions from Mypublisher, they warn that there will be some cropping on full-bleed images and advise to be sure to allow for that. I have not run into the color or brightness difference that you mentioned. There are those who will disagree with me, but I read an article awhile back that indicated that most of the online photo processors as well as many of the one-hour minilabs standardize their equipment to the sRGB color space. So that is what I have used when preparing my books, and I have been very pleased with the results.
As far as your pages are concerned, you might try what I did in my last project. The pictures didn't fit any of the templates provided by the publisher, so I created my own pages in Photoshop. I positioned the pictures where I wanted them and added my own text. Then I just created my book using those pages. It turned out very nicely. I have distributed 75 copies of the album so far and everyone has really liked it.
Mypublisher.com provides software that you download and create your album on your computer. Then when you are ready to order there is a menu item that connects you to the Web site. The only problem is, this is a Windows service only. There is no support for the Mac.
