Using Aperture to post to Web Gallery

I was posting to an answered thread so am reposting, having just tried yet again. I have conncection to the net, aperture correctly 'sees' my .Mac site, I select the images to be uploaded to the WebGallery, I have both used the icon drop down and gone into New in the File menu to make the web gallery, the web gallery button or icon spins a bit but then drops off and Aperture reopens into another project all together, not even reopening into the one I was trying to create a gallery from = I cannot create a web gallery using Aperture 2 from either my MacPro or my laptop.

I imported JPEG images manualy, made with a Lumix FZ-10. The import created a project, which contained all the images. I went through them and applied 'Repair' and 'Blackpoint' adaptations. Then I selected the images (as described in the .mac-Hint from last week, or so), and selected 'Neu->Web Galerie..'. That was indeed wrong, because my selected images were not added to the galery, because I choose the wrong menu; better would have been 'New from selction->Web Galerie'. Now the gallery was published to .mac, and was empty. But .. I selected the images again and drag-droped them into the Webgallery. They showed up, so I selected 'Album übertragen...' (transfere album) from the context menu of the Webgalery in the main project list of Aperture. This brings up a dialog attached to the window, asking if I want to use the new RAW-processor. The choices in that dialog do not allow to skip this step, with any choice I made, the answer is that no RAW-images were found, and that the transfere is finished.
I just did a test if 'New from selected images->Web Galery..' does anything different, and it indeed does: the images are added to the galery, and published immediately. For now, I can live with the described missbehaviour, but any update to the Web galery may bring up the problem again, I assume.
(hope you can cope with my translations, thanks!)

  • Using a shared photo in Web Gallery

    My wife and I share a computer and we each have a .Mac account. However, all of our pictures are in iPhoto under her login.
    I would like to publish a Web Gallery using my .Mac account and photos shared from her iPhoto library.
    However when I include a shared photo in the Web Gallery it imports it into my iPhoto Library, giving me two copies of the same photo, one in her iPhoto library and another in mine, thereby duplicating the photo which is not what I want.
    Is there a way to use a shared Photo in Web Gallery and maintain the relationship to the original photo and not duplicate the picture?

    Roger
    No, because as far the the Mac is concerned, it's not yours to Share until it's in your Library.

  • Aperture 2, Stacks and Web Gallery

    I have had so many issues with this lately. I shot photos today, picked my favorites and created a web gallery. I then ordered my 40 photos in the web gallery in a very specific order to tell a story.
    1st I noticed that the order sorted some how and I lost my custom sort. So I reordered it into a specific order.
    Then I was working with stacks. I wanted to organize the rest of the photos in the project to find others that I missed before and to promote images to find better picks.
    Then I noticed the Web Gallery would then automatically add all images in the stack next to the single photo in the Web Gallery.
    2nd. My web gallery has hundreds of photos, mostly ones that I did not want displayed. Also my custom order was lost and I once again had to try to reorganize.
    To make what could be a longer story short, I had to break all the stacks that I spent time on in order to remove the unwanted photos from the web gallery.
    Are we forced to make a choice between using Stacks and Web Galleries? Can they NEVER be used together?

    After much frustration and time looking at this issue, and reading this topic in forums, discussions and the Aperture User Manual (pg. 562 - 567) - for which there is no clear explanation of this - You can only use the stack pick in the Web Gallery.
    Exactly!
    Which means : If you want maximum flexibility in creating Web Galleries, DO NOT use stacks.
    I suppose this depends on what you are using stacks for. If you are grouping images in stacks that you want to use, you can certainly do that, but that will be problematic in Aperture in places other than gallery, because that is simply not what stacks are designed to do. If you have several shots so similar you will only use one, but don't want to throw the rest away (you might change your mind later) put them in a stack. Makes it easy to compare and "pick" which one to output. If you have a number of photos that are roughly similar, but you will be using more than one - you can initially stack them, but will probably be better off splitting the stack later. Say I am shooting sports and get a high-speed sequence of a breakaway. I could put the whole sequence in a stack initially, but some of those images are different enough that I might want to publish two or three (out of, say, 15 shots). I might get them all in one stack through auto stack, or even manually stack them initially, but I will probably set one pick and extract a few others. The alternates will be there in case I find a use for them later. Same thing with portraiture. When shooting portraits, I can get a lot of almost identical images - with small nuances in facial expression being the only difference. Another kind of stacking I often do is when I create new versions from the master and make color and exposure adjustments.
    What happens to the thousands of stacks that people have already created in Aperture and would like to simply get photographs online? You must rework your entire organization (if you use stacks) to accommodate this inconsistency.
    I think Aperture is actually pretty consistent regarding stacks and alternates. Alternates are ignored if you try to create a web journal, web gallery, web page, or a book. I see no problem getting them online - the picks will display, extract alternates if you want them to display also.
    And to further complicate a situation, when you select one photograph in a stack, and create a 'Web Gallery', once created, every photograph in that stack is put into the 'Web Gallery'
    In other words, there is no 'Ignore Stack Groupings' option in Web Galleries and since Picks can be anywhere in the stack - this creates an organizational nightmare.
    Yes, if you try to drag a single image to another project or album, the rest of the stack comes along for the ride. I know this bugs you, but I actually like the way it works. Where you see this as inconsistent - I see it being very consistent. If I create a stack - that stack is identical in all locations. I can change the pick for different albums, but if i alter a stack in any other way - it is changed everywhere. This doesn't take up an real space on your computer - it is all just referencing back to the master images anyway. If seeing all those alternates in the stack bother you, just close the stack By the way, your pick cannot be "anywhere in a stack" - the pick is always on top. Your "album pick" can be anywhere in a stack, but close the stack and the album pick is what you will see.
    Maybe you would do better using albums for the kind of organization you are doing - it sounds to me like you are using stacks kind of like albums anyway. Just select a stack and "create album from selection." Then you can unstack your stacks and work with albums instead. Then when you drag an image to a web gallery you won't get alternates.
    But leave the stacks the way they are please - I love them just the way they are

  • New to iWeb - Curious about posting a web gallery

    So I set up a new page in iWeb, a photo page. In iPhoto, I uploaded my web gallery. I then dragged that gallery into iWeb and the thumbnails were there. When I double click one of them, it takes me to the next page but no image shows up. The title of the image is there, but not the image itself. Why is this?
    I then published the page to see what happens. When I went to the page however, my header was there, but no thumbnails.
    Obviously I'm doing something wrong here.
    The photos are online in my gallery, I've checked that. All is well there.
    Why won't they show up my my published site? Do I need to activate them somehow?
    Thanks in advance!

    Instead of adding the gallery to a photos page have you tried using the MMe Gallery Widget in the Show Media/Widgets pane?
    That will create an object with skimming features that, when clicked, will take you to the MMe gallery online. This demo page has examples: iPhoto/MobileMe Galleries
    Otherwise, create an album of the photos used in the gallery and drag that album into the photos page.

  • Error when posting to Web Gallery

    I am getting an error that says "request to the server failed" whn attempting to use the web gallery option?
    Message was edited by: tropaz

    Today I had that same problem with iWeb and iPhoto. Mound your iDisk, go to the Web/Sites folder and see if you can manually add a file to that folder. Any file will do. I was getting the following message:
    This tells me it's a server issue and not iPhoto or iWeb issue. I waited a while and tried republishing and it went thru. Very strange. I reported it so hopefully Apple can look into their servers to see what's causing it.
    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. iPhoto doesn't not have to be closed to run it, just idle.
    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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Why is it impossible to sort your images then post to web gallery - sorted?

    I have been messing with Aperature for days and am really dis-enchanted. I have gone through and organized over 700 images in separate categories only to find #1 - when I try to upload the images in a Web Gallery or Web Journal the images cannot be uploaded from a Stack. #2 - if I unstack them first they all go back to the order of when they are uploaded. Also when using the sorting button - it is supposed to put them in order first to last or last to first...depending on which way the button is selected - This does NOT work everytime. Sometimes when you click on the button it does nothing to the order of a group.
    THIS IS RIDICULOUS. There must be a way to organize your images in stacks and then upload in that same order - hello apple - are you listening?

    hi.
    "this is rediculous" — not quite. the problem may be your understanding of stacks. they're not groups. they're compilations of similar/near-identical photos, usually shot in rapid fire. the idea is that when you shoot several near-identical photos, you can easily 'group' them, sort them in terms of quality and then choose the best one (the 'Stack Pick') to represent the stack wherever it might be used.
    for example, when I'm photographing a bird, I don't normally get a second chance to photograph the same bird in the same situation or pose. the depth of field is extremely short and focus can be difficult. camera shake may also affect my images. therefore, I typically take 8 or more photos of the same bird in the same place in less than 10 to 15 seconds (if the bird is kind enough to stay that long; they normally stick in one place for only 1 or 2 seconds). I will typically only need one of these, so I stack the images and choose the best one; i.e., the stack's Pick. I will rarely if ever have to look at the other photos in the stack again.
    if you want to group images from an association point of view, don't use stacks. use albums. albums created within a project will allow you to do exactly what you hope to do. sorting and uploading multiple images from the same group will work. you can even sort manually.
    "Also when using the sorting button - it is supposed to put them in order first to last or last to first...depending on which way the button is selected - This does NOT work everytime"
    if you're using stacks, the Pick of the stack is used to represent the stack and is therefore used to sort the images in your collection; ie, the position of the whole stack in your collection of images is determined by the Pick of the stack.

  • Cannot post to Web Gallery from iPhone

    Hello,
    I recently bought a 16Gb iPhone and am loving it, I have however come across a small problem when sending pictures to my .Mac Web Gallery. I have several albums which are all password protected, one of which has the setting allowing users to post pictures. When trying to post a picture from the iPhone however, a message is displayed telling me that my Web Gallery has no shared albums. Has anyone come across this and is there something I'm missing?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • IPhoto 7.1 won't post new web gallery

    Since I upgraded to iPhoto 7.1, it won't post toany new web galleries. Here's exactly what happens:
    After I create the new web gallery in iPhoto it shows the spinning icon next to it as if its succesfully uploading it but it stops in seconds and nothing happens. If I try to click the refresh button next to the gallery it disappears from the list. Help?
    I find this to be unacceptable as I payed good money for both .mac and iPhoto.

    Wow! I hope Apple is reading this. Just tried to post a new album to my web gallery, which worked perfectly yesterday before the upgrade that I installed this morning, and now the web gallery button no longer works. It seemed to work until I looked at my previously posted gallery. On the web it showed a greater number of photos installed but only the photos from my earlier gallery were there. When I looked back at iPhoto, the web gallery icon at the bottom had disappeared. So I closed and opened iPhoto again, the gallery icon re-appeared. Tried to upload my album again. Stalled. The icon disappeared. BUGGY!!!! How do I remove the upgrade?

  • Using XSLT 2.0 in Web gallery engine

    Hello,<br /><br />I would like to use XSLT 2.0 for web album output files creation (converting XML to index.html for example)<br /><br />I would like to take advantage of the new features in XSLT 2.0. Does Lightroom supports XSLT 2.0? If not, is there any way to extend the existing XSLT 1.0 parser?<br /><br />I'm specifically looking to use <xsl:result-document> element.<br /><br />Thank you

    In other words, none of the XSLT 2.0 functions are possible with the latest JDK 1.5.0.
    Even functions like tokenize, matches, substring-before, substring-after are not possible in XSL using JDK 1.5.0.
    Thanks.

  • How can I create a link to an external site in my aperture web gallery?

    Very keen to add a link to my main home page so people can go from my web gallery at www.smartstreets.eu back to my home page at www.smartstreets.co.uk
    Anyone know a way to do this?
    Also wondered if I can change the font, size, format (eg bold etc) in the theme I have chosen .. this seems to be set and cannot be changed.
    Any ideas? Any places I can try for great third party web gallery themes? Thank you!

    I don't know how to accomplish this when using Aperture's built-in web gallery feature. My suggestion may help until you find out how to do that. I suggest buying iLife '08 and using iWeb to create your web galleries. The iWeb media browser shows your Aperture library and albums so there's no need to export-import. You do need to generate previews for photos to use in iPhoto. iWeb is much more powerful than Aperture's gallery layout tools, plus there are many themes available. Think of iWeb as an export plugin for Aperture.

  • Missing Camera and Exposure information by using Aperture 2

    I am using Aperture 2 and .mac web gallery. However, I note that the Camera and exposure information are missing for photos if I use the Aperture 2 for uploading my photos. However, the Image and File information are okay.
    By using the iPhoto, the Image, File, Camera and Exposure information can be shown in my .mac web gallery. Which setting should I use in Aperture 2 to allow me to upload the photo information in my .mac Web gallery? Thanks.

    In the Web Album settings you will need to change the settings to upload "Optimized Image" in order to get metadata included in the images you upload to .mac.
    You current settings only upload small JPEG versions of your images.
    Please, note that the upload time will increase significantly when you change to "Optimized Images" since they are much larger.

  • Aperture versus Lightroom - web gallery

    Greetings,
    This is a sort of a two in one post. I use both Lightroom and Aperture, and I am curious to know how many out there prefer one over the other.
    For me, I find it hard to choose because I want to be able to use only one program. Now I import my images into both libraries and I find it too tedious, especially given the amount of images I capture.
    The one thing that Lightroom surpasses Aperture on is the web gallery update. As far as I know, Aperture only updates images online only to .Mac. Lightroom allows me to upload to any website I choose. My main site is astronomyonline.org and I have setup a gallery (http://astronomyonline.org/gallery - in case you want to have a peek!). Is there a way to have Aperture upload to a site other than .Mac?
    PS - I have been a photographer for over 20 years, and now it has become a tool to allow me to enjoy the world around me as I am now legally blind! My Apple Cinema 30" monitor allows me to view and edit my images. MacSpeech Dictate allows my words to translate into text.

    I do prefer Lightroom largely because it either supports or was quicker to support all of my cameras.
    Now I will use Aperture only for album creation, but it also had advantages when it came to ease of e-mailing photos. I started with the original Lightroom beta, switched to Aperture and for the last 6 or 7 months have returned to Lightroom.

  • How to manage a Web Gallery?

    I posted a Web Gallery from Aperture to .mac. How to access the page to edit, or remove from the web?
    How to add it to my Home page on my .mac account?
    I could not find the answer in Help. Help!

    you can get to and delete it in your iDisk/Sites folder
    the address is http://homepage.mac.com/username/nameofsite
    so make a link pointing to that in iWeb (or whatever you are using)
    note that iweb creates sites in iDisk/Web, not iDisk/Sites

  • Web gallery file size...do I have this straight?

    I've read through the posts so far. I'm new to LR (waiting for my package to arrive, so still using the trial).
    I set up a collection of 57 photos.  Most were raw, the largest being 167,866 KB.  (kinda large)  I tried to upload from LR (thinking maybe it doesn't work in the trial version as I kept getting errors of one kind or another?) and found the total of the files was over 176,000,000 KB.  Hmmm.  So, I went back into PhotoShop CS3 (after another program that usually will batch convert files didn't work) and saved each with 800 ppi maximum on a side, and saved them all for the web. (That took a little time, but not too bad.) Then I had to import the new .jpg folder, and re-edit each photo to maximize their exposure and such.
    Must I do that every time I want to post a web gallery?  In other words, I'll have to keep the original (larger) files, and make a smaller set for web plublishing, and convert everything to a .jpg file as well?  (I suppose there's no sense in filling my server with photos that are much larger than necessary, but it seems like a lot of extra work.)
    Also notice, if I have to start again (it is taking a long time, but then it's my first attempt), the collection I've saved has all the Identity plates and information I've typed in going back to Lightroom defaults, and the order of the photos goes back to random (after I've meticulously tried to put them in order).  Hoping this is just because I'm using the trial again, but no way to know until the box comes in a few days (I hope).
    The feature that caused me to make this purchase is the ability to do these galleries.  I've been looking at templates, modifying them, and working on doing this, for quite some time now. When I saw it's just part of LR...WOW!  I did get excited!  What a useful and wanted feature!!!
    It's more than one question, I know, but I've so many more!  Will the learning every become adequate to do what I dream?  (This last question is rhetorical, by the way.)
    OMGoodness! I thought I saved the gallery in the Collections...clicked on it, and no pics, nothing I did (for the second time) seems to be anywhere.  I have a LONG way to go in learning to use this tool correctly!  Arghhhh!  ... Last revision...went back into the folder, and everything is there.  Wow!  Guess I don't need it in a Collection.  Awesome!

    These files were scanned. I'm sorry, I forgot that.  They're old pics.  Some were in .jpg format, but most were in .psd format.  I converted them to smaller files in the Save for Web Device in Photoshop.  My next gallery will be shots from my Nikon D200, and I checked...the files are about the same size as yours.  These scanned files were considerably bigger as the film was pretty old.  Did quite a few of them previously to last night, and used a dpi (or is it ppi) of higher than 300 I did the last ones in. File size varied from 1,201 KB to 16.765 KB. (That bigger one was a 5X8 school shot.)
    Will it normally send the files to the web full size and then just use the dimensions specified in the program?  I have to check how much space I have on the server, but I do have another gallery I want to make, and I found a great plugin (here on the forum) to add mp3 music to the gallery. (I know, more space, but love it!)  I figured 800 pixels on the longest side would be plenty adequate for viewing, and the gallery parameters are smaller, so that's fine.
    One thing I don't understand, it asked me to place the files in "photos," but I don't think it uploaded a folder of "photos" to the web.  However, it's obvious the files went.  I was afraid if I used the export, I was going to have to upload the folder with my photo files to the server, but I think it handled that.  I hope I get a user manual with my boxed product.  It can't come soon enough!  LOL
    By the way, I successfully posted the gallery tonight.  It's really great, and my son loved it.    I am SO thrilled with this program!!!

  • Photoshop Web Gallery and Dreamweaver

    I created a web gallery in photoshop 9 and i'm trying to edit
    in Dreamweaver but the message that appears is: "You must enable
    Javascript to view this content."... where should i do this? i
    downloaded the Java programa from Sun but it seems not to work.
    what should i do?

    Cheryl,
    Could you post a link?  That's always helpful.
    If you are using Photoshop to create the web gallery, you don't have to worry about sizing your images or Save For Web, etc.  Photoshop will do all of that for you when it builds the web gallery.  You do need to crop the images as necessary, but don't downsize anything -- just leave your original RAW, JPG or TIFF files at their original size and PS will do the rest.
    I assume that in PS you are using File > Automate > Web Photo Gallery and setting all of the various parameters... yes?  In the Web Photo Gallery dialog, Options > Large Images > Output, what setting are you using for JPEG Quality?  Try Maximum (10) and see if that helps how your images look.
