  • How to rotate a thumbnail image in Finder?

    Is there a way to rotate a thumbnail image in Finder? When I click a photo in a Finder folder, the image automatically opens in Preview and the image is correctly displayed right side up. But the thumbnail image is displaying a vertical photo horizontally. Can I rotate the thumbnail?

    corelle,
    please open the sidebar of the Preview window and check how the thumbnail is displayed there.
    If the orientation is wrong in the Preview sidebar as well, then apparently some program rotated the image but not the EXIF preview image, which is obviously not a good thing.
    If the orientation is correct in the Preview sidebar, but wrong in the Finder, then the file probably has a custom icon with wrong orientation. This should then be removed rather than rotated. It's useless anyhow because Snow Leopard's Finder can better use the EXIF preview image instead.

    A couple things can cause this.
    Right click on the red x to find out the name of the png file.  Search the web server for that png and make sure that the asp worker has access to it.
    The other is a image handler issue.  Search the kbase for Red X NET 2005 and you will find a kbase or two that addresses this.

  • Aperture not working to get import previews and thus import images

    I cannot seem to get images to appear int eh Import Window's preview pane, and thus cannot import them. I have some 1600 images from a recent shoot in a sub-folder on an external drive (in two locations actually) and Aperture is not hunting them down. I have tried importing files on the desktop as a test and the same problem, no previews and no chance to import. All my OS and Aperture updates are installed and I did a restart to no avail.
    I know that this version of Aperture, along with the user manually select to not import into a New Project (grip for Apple dev if they are reading), that previews take long to load and freeze the Import process on my setup. So, it could be that it is taking forever to get 1600 previews, but viewing them in a finder window shows no problems getting previews.
    Any pointers as to what the problem might be?

    I have occasionally had this problem and found either waiting a while or cancelling the Import and then retrying the Import (and being patient) works.
    The workflow I use includes giving a custom master/version name to the appropriate images from the camera, such as "Judy in the Garden", importing those pics of Judy, and then supplying another master/version name, such as "Punch Drunk" for the appropriate images of Punch, importing those, and so on. So it can take many iterations to pull all the images in. Often the imports work as you would expect but then suddenly, nothing appears to happen and cancel and I redo it. My suspicion is Aperture is busy doing some housekeeping or other (or hung) but since a retry or two does the trick, I don't worry about it.

  • Jpeg preview icons are jagged in the Finder

    I'm going through my images, archiving some, tossing others. I've come across a folder full of jpeg images where the icons are so jagged you can't see what the image is. Most of my other jpeg preview images are okay, and when I Get Info (from Finder) the preview shown for the sus images is also okay.
    I've asked in the Apple forums whether I could ask the Finder to go through all these images and update the icon, but no joy so far.
    When I open an image and Save As in Photoshop, the icon is okay – but being jpeg, I assume the image will be recompressed, and therefore the quality (already borderline from my 10-year-old 2 MP camera) will be degraded further. Also, I don't want to convert to Tiff as I want to save space by archiving the original jpeg just as it came out of the camera.
    So, how do I "reicon" these preview images in the Finder so that they look normal, but without recompressing? Can Photoshop update the preview of a jpeg image, but not the image data?

    HI Frank,
    You've certainly covered all the bases but if you haven't done so try this. Grab your Tiger restore disk and insert it in to the optical drive. When it mounts double click it. When the window opens follow this path: System/Library/Core Services/CoreTypes.bundle. Select the CoreTyples. bundle and then press Cntrl + C. Then go to a clear space on your Desktop and press Cntrl + V. That will copy that file to your Desktop. Now, double click your MacintoshHD icon or use a Finder window and follow that same path. Remove the original CoreTypes.bundle and replace with the one you just created on the Desktop. Run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions... Reboot... my fingers are crossed that this works.

  • Where did I found the images in Finder?

    For a while ago, I found some images in Finder of, among others; iPad, iMac Unibody, some MacBooks, etc. Now, I can't remember where I found them. Does anyone have experienced the same, and can tell me where in Finder they are?

    You may have found them in the Resources folder of the CoreTypes.bundle. Take a look here:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle
    Then right click on the bundle and select "Show Package Contents" and continue burrowing down. There are lots of icns graphics files for apple hardware. They will open in Preview when double clicked and you can resave them as jpegs to use somewhere else.

  • Preview won't read images on CD

    Bit of a weird quirk - I tried to drag a jpg image into Preview from a CD in Finder, and got the error message "The application Preview can't be opened. -120". Then tried to double-click the image in Finder and got the message "The file “XXXX.JPG” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file."
    When I dragged the image to my desktop, it opened fine. This is my first time opening images from a CD since upgrading to Snow Leopard - always worked fine in Leopard.
    Anyone else had this problem?

    I suggest you don't use -RW disks as they are not nearly as reliable or compatible as the -R disks. The price of the -R disks in bulk make it affordable to use. The -RW do not have a good reputation.
    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'm sorry, but from your description I have no idea what you are trying to do. Ok, I see that LV is doing something, and that you want to acquire sound and images, and that the web is apparently involved. But,
    How is Excel involved?
    What is the web interface doing?
    Where are the buttons you talk about pressing located? 
    What are the sound and video sources?
    What version of LV are you using?
    What is the network you are using?

  • Captivate 4 can't publish or preview files/sound layers appear black

    After re-installing Captivate 4, I was unable to preview or publish files.  Additionally, my sound layers appeared as black, empty layers.
    I had a difficult time finding a solution, so I wanted to post it here in case somebody else has the same problem.
    I was indicating in my searches that I was unable to publish or preview files in C4 and could not find a solution, then I switched the focus of my searches to the audio layers and that's when I found a solution at: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/adobe_captivate_4_installation.html
    Now, I have to say this for anyone who may not be aware.  You should always back up your registry anytime you make changes to it and that changes to the registry can cause problems.  Having said that, here is the fix I used:.
    Adobe Captivate 4 Installation Issues on Microsoft Windows XP
    You can use SubInAcl tool from Microsoft to try fixing the permission issues in the Windows Registry.
    Close all instances of Adobe Captivate and do the following steps -
    1) Download the SubInAcl tool from Microsoft Download Center and install it.
    2) Download this zip file
    3) Extract the zip file in a temporary folder. You will get two files - restoreRegPermCP4.bat, restoreCP4regentries.bat
    4) Copy the restoreRegPermCP4.bat to the folder which has SubInAcl.exe installed. Typically this would be at C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
    5) Double click to run the restoreRegPermCP4.bat file.
    6) Copy the restoreCP4regentries.bat to the folder in which Captivate 4 is installed. Typically it is at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4
    7) Open command prompt and navigate to that folder.
    8) Type restoreCP4regentries.bat and press enter.
    9) Make sure that all the messages that popup say "DllRegisterServer in 'some dll name' Succeeded"
    This should have fixed the registry issues and things should work fine.
    I hope this saves someone hours of searching for a solution.

    So glad it helped you!  I know what you mean about Adobe.
    Take Care!

  • Previews and non-RAW images

    If you take an image out of Aperture for further processing/retouching and return it as a psd, tif or jpg, does Aperture create another Preview for this new file, or when it's selected, are you viewing the file itself? In other words, are Previews created for other files besides RAW?

    If "mantain previews" is on then it will create a new preview for the returned file.
    What you see in the viewer will be first the preview and, once the image is fully loaded, the actual image.
    You can find more info about previews here:

  • Drag & drop images from Finder into new Photoshop layer?

    Is it possible to drag & drop images from Finder into a new Photoshop layer?
    I can do it from a web browser, but not the Finder.

    >I couldn't find a way to do so in Bridge, but also I never use that program. Never got into Bridge's workflow. >
    I really do suggest that you re-visit Bridge especially the CS4 version.
    I just cannot conceive of trying to use a Digital camera, a Scanner or the Creative Suite programs without using Bridge and ACR.
    I can even use it to read PDFs and inDesign documents (all pages!) without opening Acrobat or InD..
    >I usually keep a "work" window open with all the files I am using for a project, so it would be far more handy to be able to skim them in the Finder.
    It is now far more effective and efficient to do that in Bridge than in the Finder.
    This is where you would find the new Collections feature to be invaluable:
    Just select all the images and other files connected to a project from any folder and drag their icons into the same Collection.
    You then have all aliases (previewable at full-screen slide-view size with one click of the space bar in CS4) to ALL of your files which are now visible in. and openable from, a single panel.

  • QuickPreview and Preview won't display images

    OK.  We're on a MacPro 5,1 and have been running mountain lion for a week or two now with no issues.  all of a sudden, preview has stopped displaying images when you open them.  The finder window, when in column view, will not display the preview, and hitting spacebar to go into QuickView will just open a blank white screen in the size of the image. Image icons for the pgs do display. Interestingly enough, Screen sharing also is displaying blank white screens.

    Try deleting the Finder .plists.
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~`/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the application or move them to your desktop so you can put them back. Since there are several .plists, you may want to try them one at a time You'll need to Force quit Finder to get it to relaunch (command - option- esc).
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Sound - No Image

    When I import AVI images from my Pentax Digital Camera and preview/play them in iMovie I hear the sound but there is no image. In the Clip Viewer area they have just a white screen.
    I can import video from our video camera, but can't import these files. I have tried using a converter to change the files to MPG, but have not had any better luck.
    I can play the clips through VLC, so I know there is sound and image.
    I have done a bit of a search on this topic, but have found most people have the problem of image without sound.

    another excellent 'cheap' (23.32$) converter is VisualHub ..
    people on this board recommend a free open source tool called ffmpeg.. which is imho not Mac-like/convenient enough for the average user (=as me) .. too many options..

  • How do I delete images in Finder's "all my Files" when I have the same pictures in a file in Documents? It seems like a lot of duplication. If I delete the individual image it disappears in the folder. Thank You.

    How do I delete images in Finder's "all my files" without deleting the images in a separate folder I have in Documents? It seems to be so much duplication. Just set up our new Mac and am not understanding how the files work. Thank you.

    All My files is a "search folder"
    it isn't real storage location. All files within your home folder are found by the criteria set for the search folder and displayed to you In one place.
    If the folder doesn't meet your needs, remove it from the sidebar.
