Removing keyword from multiple images at the same time

None of the documented methods seem to work for me.
1     Select all the images. Go to Metadata > Remove Keyword [my keyword] - the keyword is only removed from the image that is selected in the batch - i.e the one that has the yellow border round it to show it's the active image.
2     Select all the images, enter [my keyword] in the Add Keyword field when Keyword Controls is visible and press Shift + Enter - does the same thing as 1 above (removes it from the active image only).
3     Select all the images, Shift Click on the keyword that I have in my Keyword Controls in the Control Bar - does the same things as 1 above.
So all these methods, which are supposed to work, do not work for me. The removal of the keyword is only applied to the image that has the yellow border showing it to be the currently active image in the selected batch - the remaining selected imaged still retain the keyword. I can remove it "one at a a time" but it would be great if I could find a solution as to why this isn't working.
Any ideas?
If it helps, I'm running Aperture 3.1.3 in OS X 10.6.8.
thanks
Alan

Based on the frequency with which this trips up users, the Aperture team is going to have to add a much stronger visual indication that "Primary Only" is active. Marching ants, anyone? Or a pink selection marquee?
At least in the Viewer when multiple Images are selected the thin white selection marquee is dropped when Primary Only is active. There is no such change in the Browser.

Removing keywords from multiple images when the keyword isn't in the list?

So, I know that the method for removing a keyword from multiple images is to select the images, type the keyword in the inspector and press Shift-Return.
However, that doesn't seem to work if the keyword I want to remove is not in the keyword database (i.e. it's not in the keyword HUD).
For example, I deleted the iPhoto keyword group from the keyword HUD because I decided I didn't like that. I've got a bunch of photos that still have keywords like "Beach (iPhoto)". Typing "Beach" Shift-Return does nothing. Typing "Beach (iPhoto)" Shift-Return does nothing.
Adding an iPhoto group back to the HUD and a child keyword of Beach and then Typing "Beach" Shift-Return works, but I can't believe that's how it's supposed to work.
Is that the only way to do this? I've got a lot of those old iPhoto keywords to remove and that's going to be a major pain... there must be a better way.

I don't know if this will help you or not but it contains the roots of what you would need to script the removal of unwanted and unlisted keywords.
-- script begins
tell application "Aperture"
  -- set the target to the "Smart beetles" album at the top level of the library.
  tell album "Smart beetles" of folder ""
    -- get a list of the images in the album.
    set x to every image version
    -- move through the images one by one, deleting and creating the appropriate keywords
    repeat with i from 1 to x's length
      tell x's item i
        -- Note. if the keyword is top level, then the parents value is "".
        delete (every keyword whose name is "Australia" and parents is "Location")
        make new keyword with properties {name:"Sydney", parents:"Location"}
      end tell
    end repeat
  end tell
end tell
-- script ends

How to fade groups of images or multiple images at the same time?

I am creating a flash infographic, and want to fade images I have imported from Illustrator that are grouped. I would like to know how to fade these groups and multiple images at the same time.
Thanks!

Use TweenMax for this.
the syntax is like this:
var arrayOfDisplayObjects:Array = new Array();
//with arrayOfDisplayObjects.push(DisplayObject)
//you can put any DisplayObject in the Array and when you want to fade them call this
TweenMax.allTo(arrayOfDisplayObjects,1, { autoAlpha:0} );
//to fade them in 1 second to alpha=0 and when reaching the zero make them invisible (to save processing power)

Ability to adjust multiple images at the same time as in Bridge

Why the extra step of having to sync develop settings? Why not have lightroom's develop module work like Camera Raw? I would like the ability to select my main image and any others that need the same adjustments, then make adjustments to the one while the others are being updated at the same time just like in ACR. Please add this simple feature - it really saves time and is consistent with the way ACR works.
Also, just realized that syncing metadata does not sync keywords. This needs to be addressed ASAP. Just wondering how the engineers overlooked this! It should do it automatically or as an option in the sync metadata options box that pops up when syncing.
Overall, I really like lightroom and see a lot of potential once it's totally dialed. Please Adobe keep it coming with the updates!
Thanks for listening-
Scott

You can already do this a couple of ways...use Auto-Sync or Quick Develop.

Advancing and Zooming multiple images at the same time.

Hi All,
I have requested this feature since early Lightroom beta 1, so I'm trying again.
Example: I have multiple images opened up in 'Survey' mode, let's say 3 or 4 mages. Which on my Apple 23' Cinema Display makes for much nicer size reviewing, than the largest 'Thumbnail' setting.
The basic ability to hit a combo-keystroke, and advance all the frames at once in 'Survey' mode, to the next set of images of that same total. You know, same as 'page up' or 'page down' in the thumbnail view in the Grid. Also, to zoom all of them at the same time.
Now, I know IiView Media Pro could do this several years ago, before Microsoft turned it into 'Expressions Media', with 4 images at a time. And like I said, I've been requesting it since early LR beta 1. You know, just add a 'Shift' to the Page Up/Down function keys. Or 'Option' or "Control' key.
I love the Survey mode, but surely we can have up to four, or even a half-dozen images, advance at the same time, instead of adding or subtracting one image at a time. As it currently does.
Thanks,
-Sol

Aperture cannot add GPS data to multiple images at the same time

I am new to Aperture and have been using it for a week or so now. Today I tried to add GPS data to a number of images and found out, it appears Aperture can only add GPS data to one image at the time. When I select multiple images to add the GPS data to, it just doesn't do anything. It leaves the GPS data blank.
Here is what I do:
From the Info-tab I select "GPS" from the drop down menu
At the bottom of the info tab I show the map
In the map's search box I enter the location I want to assign to the photo(s)
From the resulting drop down menu I select the locatiion I want and press the "assign to location" button
As long as I choose only a single image, this works fine and the GPS Data is added. Not so when I select more than a single image. After pressing the "assign to location" button it seems as if the GPS data is added (there is no message indicating otherwise), but the GPS data in the selected images is blank.
What am I doing wrong ?
Additional info
I have been testing this a bit more and the behavior is even more strange: When you select multiple images in Aperture, they get a thin white border, except the one that you touch last (normally the last image of the selection) that will have a thicker border around it. It appears that, when selecting multiple images, the GPS data is ONLY assigned to the photo in the selected setthat has the thicker border (?????)

Rereading your post, I think the problem is, that you are assigning the location from the Info panel and not from the Metadata menu. The Info panel and the Metadata menu ar behaving differently.
The Info panel will always only affect the primary selection, but the Metadata menu will work on all selected images (unless "Primary only" is checked). So , if you want to assign your location to multiple images, use "Metadata > Assign location" instead of the little map in the "Info" panel.
Or use the "Places" view. Then you can drag all images at once to the same pin on the map.

Is there a way to add multiple images at the same time to Keynote 6.0?

I just brought keynote after searching online about adding multiple images to a presentation all in one go - I couldn't do this on the powerpoint version I was using but there were multiple references on google to being able to do this on keynote. I purchased it and now can't get it to work! Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Do you mean like dragging in multiple images and having one image go on each slide? If so, you just drag the images into the Slide List on the left instead of onto the slide. From this prior post.

How to acquire data from multiple dataports at the same time

Hi,
I studied the multithreading section of Labview, but still have no idea
how to make it work. Let me briefly explain my situation. I need to
develop a program that can control and acquire data from 4 serial
ports. I have 4 buttons to control starting or stopping acquisation
from the corresponding port. Every acquisation process is a while loop.
How can I start a new acquisation loop (eg. from COM2) while the loop
for COM1 is still running? In other words, I wish the 4 loops running
independently, and are controlled by their corresponding buttons only.
Thanks for any suggestion.

Hi Anonymous,
If I were you, I'd create one VI (call it Port.vi) to listen to one port - then make it reentrant. Drop 4 copies of Port.vi on your Main diagram. Port.vi inputs could include a VISA reference, a "Start/Stop" notifier and maybe a "Quit" occurance. Wire to each copy of Port.vi a unique VISA reference and a unique "Start/Stop" [boolean] notifier - let all the copies share the same Quit Occurance.
In Main, have one event case for each of your stop buttons. When a button is pressed, send the appropriate Start/Stop notifier!
... of course you could accomplish the same thing with four identical loops right in your main diagram, but the more complex the port-handling gets, the easier it will be to manage in one place instead of four.
Cheers!
When they give imbeciles handicap-parking, I won't have so far to walk!

Do you have a way that allows you to save attachments from multiple emails at the same time?

I have thousands of emails that I have put into Thunderbird's Local Folders, but now would like others in to access the attachments and don't want to go email by email to save off the attachments, time is prohibitive, so was hoping there is a way to select groups of messages and save off all the attachments at one time. Please let me know. THANKS!

I'd install FiltaQuilla, which provides the ability to save attachments as files. Create a filter to do the attachment saving.
Creative use of the QuickFilter should let you select the required messages, then use ''Run Filters on folder''.

Remove keywords from multiple pictures - how to??

REMOVING keywords from multiple images doesn't work here on Aperture 2.1.1. I select multiple pictures, remove a common keyword from the list in the Metadata inspector and... only the keyword from the picture which I selected last is being removed. All other pictures still have the keyword attached. Edit > Primary Only is not 'turned on'.
What did I miss?

Go to 'Window' > 'Show Keyword Controls'.
In the text box, write the keyword that need to be removed from all selected images and press SHIFT + ENTER.
If you use the Keyword Button Sets, you can also click on the keyword to be removed while holding down the SHIFT- key.

Is it possible to remove a keyword from multiple images?

There has to be some way to delete a keyword from multiple images, yet I can't figure it out. I know you can replace keywords via lift and stamp, but sometimes I may need to remove a keyword while leaving other different keywords in other images. If this cannot currently be done it needs to be fixed.

1. select the images you want to remove a keyword from
2. in the keyword field at the bottom type in the keyword you want to remove
3. hold down shift, and hit enter
Instead of assigning the keyword to the selected images, the keyword will be removed.

How do I view multiple images from different projects at the same time?

Hello
I've been trying to find the answer in the user manual, but no luck so far.
I did find how to open 2 projects at once, but I can only see one image at a time in the viewer and I have to keep going back and forth between projects to compare images. (These are scans of old photos and I want to eliminate the ones that are poorer quality, so need to compare numerous images from 2 sets of scans)
How can I view an image from one project at the same time as an image from another? I know that it can be done in the same project by apple-clicking the second, third etc image, but this doesn't work if the images are from different projects.
Thank you
Elizabeth

Thank you again Tony
I've now created an album, independent of the projects, and dragged test images into it and it does just the job I needed. Now i just need to keep my brain sorted with which ones are which while i'm working

Remove adjustment from multiple images?

I have multiple images where I used Sharpen instead of Edge Sharpen. I know I can Lift & Stamp the Edge Sharpen adjustment to multiple images but I can't seem to find a way to remove the Sharpen adjustment from all of them first. Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks

I can add the other keyword using your techniqe, but how do I get rid of the wrong keyword without interfering with the other keywords I have already set for the images?
Keywords are metadata, not adjustments.
If you want to add or remove keywords to multiple images, without interfering with the keywords that are already set, I'd suggest to configurekeyword sets and to use the keyword controls:
For example, after designing a keyword set"Himmel" (sky) I can add or remove one of the keywords for all selected images by simply pressing a button in the keywords panel or using a key combination: for example ⌥6 to add the keyword "Halo" to all images, ⇧⌥6 to remove it from all currently selected images.
But the question is, how to remove one adjustment from multiple images, and that seems to be behaving buggy in Aperture 3.4.1, at least on my system: If I try to add an adjustment to (or remove from) multiple images, only the primary selection will be modified - and yes "Primary only is disabled ).
For example: Trying to add "Sepia Tone" to four images: I see the same on two MBPs and on my iMac with Aperture 3.4.1.

How to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at

how to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at the same time ....
i don't find a tutorial in adobe tv....
thanks !!

The short answer is that you'll put the source clip(s) for each inset on a different video track, all stacked up. Then use the Scale and Position effects (under "Motion" on the Effect Controls panel) to reduce their size and place them where you want.
If the content of an inset will involve edited content (where you're cutting among various clips or just trimming out unwanted content from a single clip), then you'll probably find it easier to do all those edits in one sequence, then nest that sequence in the master sequence, where you apply the Scale and Positioning effects. That will save the step of applying the scale and position effects to each edited track item.
