Selecting a group of Images? only last image getting adjustments?

sorry if this is a stupid question, but when I select a range of images and apply image rotation or stamp metadata, only the last image in the selection gets the adjustment that I apply to the images.
It seems that when I select the images, the whole group has a white boarder around it, but the last image has a thicker boarder around it, and that is the only image that will respond to a change. I must have hit some weird short cut key to turn on that option, how do I turn that off?
Please I need help asap, it's driving me insane. Thank you

There is a rectangle box on the bottom of the Aperture screen that is the primary only box. If you have that selected only the primary image will be adjusted.

  • Help with Keywording a group of Images

    I need help applying keywords to a group of selected images. For some reason I can't get this to work. I've done it before and now it won't work. Here is what I'm doing. I've selected a group of images in a project by using shift and clicking the first and last image I want and using comand to select images that are not next to each other. They all show up in the viewer and the thin white lines show up around the images in the browser. Now I go and add a keyword. It doesn't seem to matter if I use the Keyword control bar buttons or if I type in a key word in the bar in the lower right hand side, the same thing happens. The keyword is only being applied to the primary selection and not the whole group. Why isn't this working? I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but it's starting to drive me crazy. Any help with this would be great thanks.

    You have switched 'toggle primary only' on. To turn it off click on the button with a square in it at the bottom of the screen or press 's'

  • Applying metadata to groups of images

    i understand this has been answered by "toggle primary" off but this isnt working for me when applying keywords for some odd reason.
    any ideas?

    It should, when you select a group of images, the primary will be the one showing in the viewer.
    If primary only is off all the images should get the keywords, if it's on only the image shown in the browser with a yellow border (primary) will get the keyword.
    Press 's' to switch 'primary only' on or off.

  • Applying keywords to groups of images

    I'm having difficulty applying Keywords to groups of images. When I select a group of images in the browser and drag a keyword from the HUD over them, the keyword is only applied to the image onto which it was directly dropped. I'm sure that in the past I've been able to apply a keword to any number of images at once using this technique. What's the obvious thing that I'm doing wrong here?

    "That's probably because you have the toggle primary only selected. It's the rectangle box on the far right of the first set of controls on the bottom of the screen.

    Or in case you have those controls hidden you can also press 'S'

  • Selecting multiple blocks of images

    How do I select multiple blocks of sequential images in LR3?
    In PSE 8 I used Ctrl and holding the left mouse button while dragging over the required images but this does not seem to work in LR3
    Using Ctrl and /or Shift to select individual groups of images works in LR but is very slow when I want to select numerous groups of sequential images
    Specifically I want to select the many groups of 3 to 10 sequential images showing each of my kids so that I can add the appropriate keyword(s).

    Thanks - so the click and drag does not work..??
    The Shift.Ctrl does work but the click/drag is much faster.
    Cheers

  • Select group of images from IPAD

  • Image Trace colors don't match selected color group. (Mac, CS6)

    When I select the Document Library option when making a color image trace, the colors shift in the image but do not match the selected color group. I've tried multiple color groups, and the colors always change, but never match the selected swatches. Is this typical? Can anyone explain this?

    After some additional experimentation, I discovered the problem was with images dragged from iPhoto and dropped into an illustrator file. When I placed the files instead, the colors matched the selected color group. After trying several other images using both methods, it appears as if dragging and dropping from iPhoto is a no-no when wanting to image trace and change the colors.

  • Levels adjusment to only selected colors in indexed image?

    I regularly have to adjust ranges of colors in indexed images. I usually use "Image -> Adjustments -> Replace color..." to do this since it effectively allows me to pick multiple color table entries and apply Hue, Saturation, and Lightness adjustments to them. What I could *really* use now and then, however, is the ability to apply a Levels adjustment to the selection. Unfortunately, I can only seem to apply a Levels adjustment to the whole indexed image, not just ranges of color table entries. I can't convert to RGB first because the color tables I end up with have to be applicable to the same image (the pixels in the image have to continue to reference the same color table index; converting to RGB and back breaks this association).
    Does anyone know if there's something I'm overlooking? The "Lightness" adjustment in the "Replace color..." tool just doesn't cut it for the level of adjustment I need.

    Here's a test I did.  First I created the rhinestone shape (rough shaped), with transparent background). I used a size of 30px and made a pattern of it.
    Then I took this photo and reduced it to the number of pixels that I wanted for each of the dots.  So in this case, I wanted 100 dots across the top, So I reduced the image to 100px wide.
    Then I converted it to index color with the five colors your wanted: white, black, red, yellow, and blue.
    After that, I converted back to RGB and upscaled it using nearest neighbor to keep the pixelated look.  I upscaled it so each pixel was my pattern size of 30px, so 3000%.
    Then I created a blank layer under this pixelated layer, and used the fill command using the pattern I created in the first image.  I clipped the pixelated layer to the fill layer, so that the colors would just show where my pattern had pixel values (round dots).  Then I set the pixelated layer's bend mode to overlay to get the look of a rounded dot.
    It looks a bit flat, but you can play with different patterns to get different looks.  I also put a solid black layer under everything to fill in the gaps between the dots.

  • Regarding Lightroom Slideshow module: When I click on the preview button I get the following error: An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt at index a nil value. This occurs with any group of images I select in my catalog.

    Jeannine,
         If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
    Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
    Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
    C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
    If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
    Hope this helps a bit,
    Glenn

  • Question about adding keywords to a group of images in Aperture

    Hi all,
    Not sure what I am doing incorrectly, but I am unable to add a keyword to more than 1 image at a time, even though a group of images is selected. So, for example, in Browser view, with 4 images selected, using the keyword HUD, I drag a keyword to one of the selected images, and only the one dragged to gets that keyword, not the others in the group.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Aperture 3.1.1

    Hi Pi,
    Not quite sure what the purpose of that button is.
    You'll laugh about this sometime not too long from now. Sometime, you will have a bunch of photos selected and *not want to change your selection*, but you'll notice that you need to add some metadata or adjust just 1 of those pictures. That's when you use the "primary only". When you find yourself in that situation, it'll be like a "eureka" since you're currently wondering what it's all about.

  • Rotating a group of images

    I seem to be having an issue rotating multiple images at the same time - I select a group and when I choose rotate only the main selection (with the heavy line) rotates. Any ideas?

    Dave sounds like you have toggled the primary button, bottom RHS of the viewer a square with a "1" in it. Turning this feature on allow you to have a group of images selected but only make changes to the primary image, eg. I have six images selected and want to sort through them, in "normal" mode any rating, metadata changes applied go across the selection, the primary function allow you to move through a group and work on them individually.
    search on "primary" in the manual.

  • Image Rating - de-rate a group of images

    Hi -
    I import my images and then set up 3 smart folders - I use the folders to make my image selects 1*, 2* and 3*
    My question is: when viewing images in the browser - say all my smart album 2* images - how can I de-rate (eg from 2-1*) ALL the images. When I select all images - all images are selected - but 1 image only has a brighter WHITE selection boarder - and when I de-rate my images to 1* - only 1 image is derated!
    Any advice on how to derate a group of images.
    Thanks
    Tony.

    Tony,
    you probably have the "primary Only" option active, see my User Tip here:
    Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?

  • Centering a group of images on a page

    Hi,
    Hope this e-mail finds you well.
    I have several identical images on the top of a page that I would like to center on the page. They are already distributed equally and aligned at their bottoms but I would like to now center them as a group on the page. However, I can't figure out how to do that. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks very much.

    I'm not completely clear on what you are doing, but try this:
    select all of the images
    Layer>Convert to Smart Object
    CMD-A
    Layer> Arrange layers to selection> Horizontal Centers
    and.. if you want them centered vertically
    Layer> Arrange layers to selection> Vertical Centers

  • Image Sequence...Cannot select multiple files for image sequence.

    When I select Image Sequence in QT7 and navigate to the folder with the images, I am no longer able to select more then one image. Is the something that 10.6 has broken?
    What am I missing?

    If you only get the first file to import then I suspect the image files are not all sized correctly or the file names are not being recognized as "sequential".
    I've done some tests to confirm this on my machine. File names with some using a _ (underscore) and others using a - (hyphen) import only the highlighted file. In another test I mixed in a single file sized just one pixel wider than all of the others and only the first file is recognized.
