Simple app to view images and do minor editing?

If I download a photo or two I need an app to view them and do minor editing. Preview doesn't allow me to save and is cumbersome to use. i need a simple default image browser...not iPhoto. Thanks.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

Unable to view images and videos on file explorer ...

hi. Im using a nokia E6. Im unable to view my images and videos taken using the phone camera if i go through the file explorer. But im a ble to view them through the gallery. Can anyone help me out here?. I've tried resetting the system. No change.

hi, have you tried reinstalling the current firmware thru Nokia Suite on PC?

Ok, about images and In-Browser editing (not working)?

I have created a site where I changed the corner radius on a image. In order for me to be able to drop in an image without having to re-adjust and position, I created a rectangle, adjusted the radius and then filled the rectangle with the image, set it to Original Size. It works perfectly in Muse. I can choose another image I have prepared and just drop it in with radius in tact.
This can't be done with In-Browser editing. I imagine that it is because it is a fill image and is within a "holder". Very sad about this as my clients can not change this picture via IBE.
Is there a work around where I can keep the radius?

You are correct, In-Browser Editing does not currently support editing fill or background images.
There are some cases where having a placed image with effects applied (e.g. rounded corners) will still allow In-Browser Editing to replace the image and keep the effects intact. For example: I placed the Muse logo on a page, set two rounded corners, and applied a 1px red stroke. When I preview, I can click/drag the image and see that the image itself is not rounded.
When I apply an inner glow to the image, all the effects are merged down into the image itself.
This is done because not all browsers support the effects and your design might suffer. Muse chooses to rasterize the image instead of relying on HTML/CSS for the effects. In-Browser Editing doesn't know about those effects and won't be able to apply them to new images that are uploaded.
As far as keeping the effects in place, but swapping out the image during design time in Muse, this can be done. Right click on the image and choose "Replace Image...". This keeps the effects applied to the image frame and replaces the image itself.

Viewing image and layer mask?

Hi, thanks for stopping by and reading.
I've a layer with a group of people on it over a layer with a background on it.
The layer with the people has a layer mask which I've worked on to cut the people out...
Now I want to work round the cut out edge (layer mask) subtly refining it.
The image is going to be printed large so I need to pay attention to the detail... like strands of hair.
Intuitively (to me) I cut more hair off as opposed to left more hair on - if you follow. Perhaps unconciously thinking it was the way to minimse work because if it looks ok then job done.
Now of course I'm effectively working blind as I seek to refine the mask by adding-in soft blurred hair. (Hope you follow) So...
Q: Is there a way to view the entire original image with the mask overlaid?
I've come up with a working fix... I'm duplicating the layer with the mask, deleting the mask and adjusting the opacity so I can work through this new layer onto the layer mask below.... should I have approached this differently... more elegantly? Hind sight is a marvelous thing.
How do sensible people approach this exercise..?
Hope you'll share, thank you and keep well.

Hi MTSTUNER & J Maloney
I really appreciate the interest you've both taken in the question.
Yes, J Maloney you would be correct. I was wanting to see the whole of the image, the masked bits and the not masked bits... as well as the mask too all simultaneously.
I'm currently kicking myself that I've not explored the Masks panel. Don't know when it was introduced, I have kind of skipped a version of PhotoShop or two on my own machine - lame excuse, I know gov. The density idea is far more elegant than my solution. However, I did find that by creating the duplicate I've been able to colourise it so as to make the results of what I was doing really obvious visually. I like the invert idea too, so simple - and it might prove the best of the options... but I'll try it on another image as I've pretty much done this one - lots of hats, not much hair.
No offence on the "last paragraph". My reaction was "it's not unasked" though I wasn't clear: "How do sensible people approach this exercise?"
Thank you too MSTUNER, I appreciate the time spent.
"Quick Mask?" occurred randomly to me. Something I've never bothered with, tending to go straight to Layer Mask work. I'll own up that Quick Mask has never managed to make itself part of my workflow, I've no idea why because I'm sure it should if I gave it time. However, a quick experiment hasn't produced a Eureka moment. I was hoping I could easily subtract or add a Quick Mask from/to an existing Layer Mask... nope, doesn't seem to want to - though it was a 'quick' experiment.
Thank you again for taking the time and enjoy the rest of your day. Regards.

Problem for viewing Image and "\n" on Alert

Good day.
I made a Midlet MIDP 1.0 CLDC 1.0 that have an Image on Alert class;
this is my code:
Alert al = new Alert("AppTitle");
try {
al.setImage(Image.createImage("/MyApp/myimg.jpg"));
} catch (java.io.IOException e) {
al.setTimeout(3000);
al.setType(AlertType.INFO);
display.setCurrent(al);
On Nokia Phones (I've tried Series 40 e 60) the result is that I view on text area Information and near of it (but cutted) the image.
Why?
I have another question:
If I use on Alert class
al.setString("MyApp\nMyName");
within or eithout image On Nokia phones the "\n" idn't considered.
Both problems in others phones (I've tried Motorola and Sony-Ericsson) aren't.
Why?
Best regards and good work.

Looking for a Hi Res solution for viewing images and for capturing video

We are looking to complete some training videos that utilize a microscope, a Sony Firewire camera (1/3-inch Progressive Scan Color CCD 1024x768 Pixel Array). I want to capture the video on a macbook (imovie or FCE) and be able to make some training DVDs.
In addition, I need to purchase a monitor (cinema display??) that would allow people to view the manipulation from the microscope.
Whay type of setup am I looking at ? Will the Apple Cinema display work for this and give a hi res image on it?
I am not familar with the displays or the desired setup (the video out on the macbook be acceptable as the video comes in from the camera or does the camera go directly to the monitor?
ny insight would be appreciative. Thank you

Hi jforsberg,
What we need to know is that microscope have a video out or practically you use the Sony to capture the video thru microscope using custom tripod or camera holder?
If using you Sony is the case, then you can use iMovie for that, and you can view it "live" while you capture (import) it by selecting the input menu to your sony like shown here by EZJIM:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1091996&tstart=25
And you can mirror the screen from macbook to bigger external screen using mini DVI adapter. There are three option mini dvi to vga, mini dvi to dvi, and mini dvi to video, and if you want to use apple cinema display I believe you have to buy the mini dvi to dvi.
And apple said that macbook can drive up to 23" cinema display with 1440 x 900 resolution, but other user on macbook forum reportedly can use with other bigger screen and bigger resolution as well.
Best way is you visit apple store and buy that adapter and have it tested with both 23" and 30" (I believe apple guy won't mind considering you are a potential cinema display buyer).
Good Luck.

Viewing images and flash in brower

I have create a flash swf file and a background image in
photoshop, an I am having a problem viewing either in the browser.
The page is blank where the file is suppose to be. I've recently
had switched to a different server using http vs htpdocs, they are
using Plesk FTP, and windows I am using Mac. I am sharing the
server. That is when the problem began. Maybe a rendering or
compatibility issue? please help.

App to view VPN and other user logged into network?

There has to be an easy way or an app to do this but can't find one. I have a VPN service set up on my OS X Server. Works great. But I have yet to find an easy way to see realtime who is logged into my server or maybe even poking around the ports on the Airport Extreme. I know there are logs that tell me who has logged in, but I have to a) search thought it actively and b) its pretty cryptic and lots of data in there I don't need I have to wade through.
Is there anything out there in the form or an app or maybe a script that will at least email me to show me who logs in / out when they do so?
Thanks.

Carol,
Not at all. There's a simple solution for this.
You can use the APEX function v('APP_USER') in your triggers to determine the APEX user name - which in your case will also be the Oracle schema name - of the user who initiated the trigger.
This way, you can still connect to the database as APEX_PUBLIC_USER (and not open up a whole can of security worms) and at the same time, keep all of your PL/SQL triggers in tact.
To enable the triggers to work outside of APEX as well, you can use a simple NLV(v('APP_USER'),USER) so that when called from SQL*Plus, for instance, the trigger will use the name of the Oracle schema.
Hope this makes sense!
Thanks,

"view image" menu option not working with jpg correctly

When I right click on an image in my browser, I can select "view image" and the image by itself will pop up in a new tab. This still works for most image formats, but has stopped working with the jpg format.
Say I go to google's home page, right click on their logo, and select view image. Since their logo is not in jpg format, the logo image will appear in a new tab, and the URL will show the location of that image (in this case, http://www.google.com/images/logos/ps_logo2a_cp.png)
When I try to do this with an image in jpg format, it asks me what I want to do, and gives me the options:
1 - Save file
2 - Open with windows photo viewer
3 - Open with (other)
In trying to make it work right, I selected "open with other" and selected firefox. This almost works how it used to work, it opens up the image in a new tab... but now, instead of showing the URL of the source image, it shows the location of the file on my computer. So for example, if I go to tinypic.com and find the jpg image (http://i56.tinypic.com/nd9d75.jpg). If I right click on that image and select "view image", it opens by itself in a new tab as it should, except the address bar displays (file:///C:/Users/Joe/AppData/Local/Temp/nd9d75-3.jpg) instead of it's web URL.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And/or how I can get firefox's behavior to go back to how it used to work for jpg's in this capacity, like it does for other image formats?

Gallery doesn't show any images and videos in n73 ...

everything seemed to work fine untill today, i have hard reset my n73 2 days ago using code *#7370# two days ago because of a major problem(i was unable to make or receive calls), everything else works fine but the images and videos are not shown in gallery but i can view images and videos using file manager and by opening individual item. I can see images using another third party software photobook. Please help.

:S,
Sorry, missed that fact. My memory is good, but short.
Try moving the "Calendar Cache" file to your Desktop. Quit iCal, and find the "Calendar Cache" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars. Move that file to your Desktop. After that, (I remember that I recommended this before), as long as you are moving files to the Desktop, repeat the plist removal procedure once again, log out/in or restart.
You should also consider removing the "To Do's" from Mail before restarting iCal. When you open iCal turn off "Show Birthdays calendar" in iCal>Preferences...>General.
Are you syncing any data? If so, what method(s) are you using?

Photo gallery able to reorganise into subcategories + adding new images via in-browser editing

Hi,
I'm looking for a photo gallery which has the ability to reorganise the images displayed based on subcategories or tags. For example I want to add a gallery which contains photos of a clients projects. The client wants site visitors to be able to shuffle the gallery to view only for example "stone walls" or "timber decking". A tagging system would be handy rather than having to load the photos into each subcategory.
The other consideration is that my client needs to be able to add new images with tags using the in-browser via Business Catalyst. So far I have only succeeded in replacing existing images rather than adding new images.
Is there such a widget for Muse or are there anyother widgets for wordp-ress or other which could be embedded to tdo the job.
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy
If I am not wrong, basically you want to provide users an option to select category of images which they want to show up on page.
From Muse we cannot tag or categorize them , also photogallery module in BC does not provides this option, but there is a workaround with web apps.
You can create a web app and then web app items as images and then categorize them. On page insert the web app with categories drop down, so when users will select the category those web app items would be displayed on page. Additionally you can add custom fields in web app to search using keyword.
With editing , clients can login to BC admin and then using photogallery module or web app module ( if used ) to edit the images, add new ones. IBE cannot be used to add new ones but to replace existing ones.

In Mail App, Viewing Images

In Mail, My preferences are set to display remote images. However, my incoming mail messages don't display the images. This is the condition when the mail is open, not just in preview.
Is there another setting hidden somewhere in the app?
Thanks much

I have since found a solution for this. I wrote a script in the past which sent html emails with inline as part of a CMS. These mails worked fine, even on the iPhone. After I installed Leopard I noticed that the inline images were no longer showing. We were sending the mails as mime/alternative. I sent myself an HTML mail using Mail.app's stationary ability and viewed the raw source. It appears that in order for Mail.app to show the inline images in the html "alternative" part, the images and html part of the mail have to be placed under a "related" mime part. Once I did this, inline images started showing again.
It's quite complex. I'm not sure if Apple has just tightened their support of the Mime 1.0 specification, I also noticed that the latest Outlook stopped showing the images too. So chances are, if inline images are not showing up in your emails, it's because they have fallen foul of this.

320PPI 5cm x 5cm , and the mobile app that this image appear runs on a mobile phone of 200ppi disp

IF I DO AN IMAGE in FW or PS of 320PPI 5cm x 5cm , and the mobile app that this image appear runs on a mobile phone of 200ppi display resolution, then resolution seem of image should be 200ppi ... in other words should adapt automatically????

Only if you were to measure the physical dimentions. (Using physical dimentions and changing the ppi would add or remove pixels)
inches X ppi = pixels
A 1200 x 1600 pixel image will be the same on all devices that share that ratio, the ppi difference comes into play when the phyical size of the screen is changed.
Technically the quality never changed only the zoom changed.
When designing a screen at 1200x1600 (example) That image will fit on any screen that has that spec.
The ratio plays a role when only 1 of the 2 pixel dimentions changes (width or the height).
On larger screens, the ppi is lower to equal the same number of pixels. So when a device can support a higher resolution, the ppi is increased on the same size screen.
Knowing that, having the specs of the device will tell you the maximum number of pixels that screen can display.
Therefore, when designing a screen, always start with the largest resolution (pixel dimmentions) first, then downsample to the next size screen and so on.
The reason is simple, it is easier to remove pixels, then it is to add them later, as photoshop or any other software does not know what should be there.
BTW, this is also the reason why you can change the pixel dimentions in the save for web dialog box and not the physical size or ppi. To make it easy to reduce the pixel dimentions.
