Selecting Multiple Pictures

When selecting pictures in Photoshop Elements you can use Shift Mouse click, Ctrl Mouse click, or just mouse click to select one.  As most of you know when you select multiple pictures using the Ctrl mouse click, by about the 57th picture your control finger gets tired or even worst you accidently do a drag and now you just copied those 57 pictures.
Is there a more efficient way to select multiple pictures?  Say to copy to a memory card for an electronic picture frame.  Or is the only way the same way it has been done in windows since 1990?   Maybe adding a check box next to the pictures would help.   Am I missing something is there an easier way?

I am not trying to open 57 files.   I am selecting 57 files to copy to a memory card.   I then take that memory card to my electronic photo frame for display.  There are other reasons to select multiple non sequential images.  To put on DVD or to make a slide show.  But for some reason Adobe does not see this.  All they have to do is add a check box by the photo, so you can select random pictures and then perform some action on those pictures.   This shift select and ctrl select started in 1990 with windows 3.0, let's move on.  If Adobe is going to charge so much for their software without providing an upgrade discount, at least they can make the software more user friendly.
Make it easy to post photos on social pages,  easy to share via thumb drive or memory card.   Make it easy to load pictures onto picture frames and portable devices.  Adobe there is a world outside your doors, get with it.  Also stop asking if I want an Adobe ID every time I start the software.  I don't need your marketing crap built into software I purchase from you.
Adobe you used to be a decent company.   You have become self absorbed, blind, business men locked up in your offices with no idea what is going on out here.   It all started when you removed Adobe Audition from the Premiere CS3 suite.  You took on an attitude from that point on.  An attitude that you can ignore the customer and demand whatever you want.   You are good, but not that good.  I guess it's time for me to move on.
Wake up!

  • How do I select multiple pictures in a folder

    How do I select multiple pictures in a folder? I have tried shift + click, command + click etc but cannot find a way of selecting a large group without selecting individually 

    Select the first image.  Then Command-Click on each additional image you want to select as part of a group.
    If you are using List mode, you can click on the first, then Shift-Click on the last, and all the files between the first and the last will also be selected.
    Command-Click will still work to add additional non-sequential, or to remove items from the list already selected.

  • A fast way to select multiple pictures; Recognizing downloaded duplicate pictures

    I want to use the iPad to download hundreds of photos at a time from my camera while I am out shooting for multiple days. I don't want to download duplicates once a photo has been placed on the iPad hard drive. I have two questions:
    Q1 - After I have already downloaded one day's shoot, I need to be able to delete many photos -- say 50 - 100 at a time on iPad. Selecting the photos one at a time is not going to work. How can I accomplish this efficiently?
    Q2 - I also need to be able to download a subsequent day's worth of photos to the iPad from the camera and make sure that the iPad downloads only the new photos and does NOT download photos it already has. I have had inconsistent luck with this in practice. Most of the time the iPad seems to recognize some of the prior photos (and shows them with a green checkbox on those photos) The problem is that it does not recognize all of the duplicates it already has on the iPad with the result that multiple copies of the same photo are downloaded. By the way I am shooting a current Nikon DSLR with photos in RAW format. Any suggestions?

    Q1 - From where? The iPad or the camera? If from the iPad, you need to manually tap each individual picture to select it for deletion. For your camera, you can choose to leave the photos on the camera or not during import. Choosing not to will delete them from the camera but since it sounds like your a pro, I'm sure I don't have to remind you of the dangers of having a single digital copy of your work.
    Q2 - you can choose to skip already imported files.

  • Select multiple pictures and Rotate

    This is very frustrating. Pay hundreds for a pro program and it won't perform a task that iPhoto does all day. I highlight a group of photos and try to rotate either using the menu or the tool bar and it rotates one picture (the last). Just unacceptable.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Print this and paste it as frontlets before your eyes:
    +When software doesn't perform the way I expect, the most likely cause is user error+
    +When I ask a question, I will not complain, or whine, or disparage -- I will ask as simply as possible that I might be given an answer+
    I apologize for calling you out, amoppert, but your strident, ill-claimed righteousness is both heard too often and has no place.
    You likely have turned on "Primary only". Information about this useful tool is found in the Help file which comes with Aperture and also provided on-line:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=2%26sec tion=4%26tasks=true
    It is possible there is some other reason you cannot rotate all currently selected images. I can assure you it works.
    You are welcome.

  • How do I select multiple pictures and compact them so there is no space between them?

    I know this should be easy, but I am spending a ton of time trying to move 45 pictures in my video closer together...one by one. Is there a way to grab, let's say 20 pictures, and combine or compact them together so there is no space between them? I'm tired of doing it one by one and trying to get it right. Thanks -

    Are these connected clips? Probably not at this stage.
    If they were connected, and you wanted to shorten each one, the way to do that is to make the connected clips a secondary storyline and then shorten them. The magnetic storyline will pull them up next to each other.

  • How can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

    how can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

    Adobe Bridge, lightroom and your file browser (windows explorer or Mac Finder) can select multiple pictures at once and then delete. If you are looking for more than that for information, you will need to be more specific at what your doing, what OS you have, and version of software your using. If necessary post screen shots so we can see what your doing. The more information we have the more detailed of an explaination can can give back to you.

  • 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.

  • I am trying to import photo's on i photo.  It downloads all of the pictures on my camera, how do i only select the photos i want?  Is there a way to do this without selecting one photo at a time? is there a way to select multiple images?  thanks!

    To select consecutive images click and drag the cursor over multiple thumbnails to select all at once.
    To select multiple images that are randomly located hold down the Command(⌘) key and click on those images you want to select.
    Or to select consecutive images from a list of images that are together hold down the Shift key and and click on the first photo you want to select and the on the last photo you want in the list.

  • Selecting multiple image files on the 'insert picture' menu in word

    Hi there,
    I am trying to insert multiple pictures at once into a word document, on office for mac 2011.
    I am using the 'insert picture' option from the toolbar. Shift-click doesn't work like on a PC, and i have tried a variety of button combinations that don't seem to have any effect! Is there any way around this so I don't have to insert picture files into a word document one at a time?
    Thanks!

    You are right, it does not work. Here is a workaround by doing an intermediate stopover in TextExit (it's in your Dock and/or in your Applications folder):
    In the Finder, select your multiple image files
    Right-click (or control-click) and select "Copy # items"
    Go to TextEdit and paste
    Do Select All (Command A) followed by Copy (Command C)
    Go back to Word and paste your heart out

  • Why does my iphone only send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send?

    why does my iphone send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send (via message or email)?

    Are you sending via Camera itself?
    That is, selecting a picture, then select forward link symbol from bottom left
    then select another picture,
    Each time make sure you see the blue check mark at bottom right of each selected picture.
    The number of " # Photos Selected" should be displayed at the top.
    Then select Mail or Message and transmit.

  • How can I choose multiple pictures, on the iPad, to attach in an email using Mail?

    I can easily choose and attach one picture from Photos to an email in Mail. I cannot seem to figure out how to choose multiple pictures, then attach all of them at once. I even tried using a separate folder to attach but that did not work either. Thanks in advance.

    From the Photos app tap Edit.
    Tap to select up to 5 photos. More and the Mail option is not possible.
    Tap Share.
    Tap Mail.

  • Is there a way to delete multiple pictures at the same time from the iphone4s?

    Is there a way to deleter multiple pictures at the same time, from my iphone4s? I know how to delete one at a time. Thanks

    Open your Photos App > Camera Roll > At the top right corner you will see a rectangle with a right arrow, select that. Now you can select as many photos as you want and you can hit the red Delete button on the bottom right.
