Web Gallery export troubles w/ LR 2.3 update (Mac)

I regularly export web galleries (WG) using templates I have created. Earlier today I began having trouble, where LR2.2 would freeze
during a WG export, and I had to force quit LR.
At first, because LR was dragging so slowly, I thought it was a near-full startup disk, so I opened up 31 gb of free space, quit LR and restarted. After the problem reoccured, I thought it was because I had large Tiffs in the WG, which I had never done before, so I excluded them, but it did not help.
Finally I upgraded to LR 2.3, and immediately tried to output a small test WG. When I clicked 'save,' nothing would happen, that is,
the export window would disappear and there would be no indication in the progress bar that the WG was being created, and in Finder sure enough
nothing was created.
I tried several times. Then I tried it using my template without altering any text in the gallery, and it worked. I repeated this and it worked about 90% of the time. Then I tried it again with my larger web gallery (59 images) and again, nothing happened. I went
back to the simple gallery and it worked; back to larger gallery with text altered: did not work.
EDIT: I am finding it does not like a string of numbers in the "site info" boxes, such as my file number 090217.
Any ideas?
I am on an iMac Intel, with 4 gb ram, running 10.5.6
Thanks,
Jerry Mann.

>Bruce Morton:L.R. 2.3 windows and printer seem to be fighting for color control. I can not print in L.R. and get good colors. My monitor is calibrated and I have checked for a color managed by L.R. box. The color seems ok in CS4/Bridge. What am I missing or doing wrong? HELP!
There are quite a few printer related threads in this forum and you don't say what OS/printer you have but you could start here:

Keep filenames in web gallery export

Currently Bridge will generate random filenames when using the web gallery export tool. Drawback of this is that when we manually upload the new images to a server, they don't overwrite the old ones. Okay, it's a matter of remembering to delete the old ones. But also, because we adapt the XML scripts with some more info, we have to re-adapt the XML files every time.
It would be superb if the 'web gallery output' sidebar could have a checkbox to 'keep original filenames'.

Well that's quite a pain. I would have thought that something as simple as exporting to consistent sizes would have been on the top of the 'bug' list. This is a major need for me to output precisely sized low-res photos.

Thanks for the tip. I hope someone comes up with a workaround...

Where is the display filenames option in web gallery export?

adobe bridge CS4, as i'm understanding this feature went away in later versions.
Just trying to export a web gallery that will include the file name beneath of it.
I thought the feature was non-existnant so I have spent a couple hunded bucks and about two years trying third party options, I prefer that the web gallery export look exactly like bridge.
in reading through these forums again, i see mention of to simply check "Show File Names" when I create a Web Gallery.
I cannot find this option anywhere.
just want to have web gallery with the names of the files beneath the images, if it were searchable, and could be organized by alpha-numerical order just like bridge, that would be what I wish.

adobe bridge CS4, as i'm understanding this feature went away in later versions.
In CS6 it is still there, only under the Template 'HTML Gallery'
Don't have experience myself with Web Gallery so no idea if this has changed but believe it has always been this way, maybe they changed the order of the templates?

Controlling filenames in web gallery export

I need to export photos of a specific size with the version names the same as the filenames, and since Aperture apparently can't export a batch of images (using the Fiel/Export function) without varying the size a pixel or two (see my thread: "Variable size on export"), I'm trying to use the web gallery function and sizing the pix the exact dimensions I need.
The problem is that Aperture insists on renaming the files "Picture 001, Picture 002, etc., and I need the filename to match the version name.
Anyone found a way to fix this?

Web gallery export bug: Crop ratio change doesn't update correctly

I've just submitted this as a bug to the Aperture feedback site, but then realized that maybe I should have asked around to find out if it was just me or if it's an actual bug.
Try this: Export a web gallery to your site. Now change the cropped aspect ratio of one or more images in the gallery. Now export the gallery again and when Aperture asks if you want to Update or Replace the existing gallery, select Update. (This option is supposed to save time by only sending the changed files to the site.) The image that was cropped differently will still show up in the Index and Detail view with the old ratio, but the new dimensions will be stretched to fit the old ratio.
I've done this repeatedly and it's completely reproducible. The only way to get the gallery to display correctly is to select Replace when exporting the gallery. Obviously, if your gallery is larger than a handful of images this will take a while and it defeats the purpose of the Update option.
Does anyone find this same issue or am I the only one?

Yeah, that makes sense.
I'm thinking now that if I create a new version in the web gallery and crop it just for the web export the app will probably re-send that image out to the web site because it treats the new version as a different image. Since the new version really doesn't take up any meaningful hard drive space this wouldn't be a deal-breaker, but I would have to remember to NOT delete that version or change the crop ratio before uploading the gallery again.

Aperture 3 PAINFULLY slow on Web Gallery Export

Well, I've just upgraded to Aperture 3 and I have to say I really love all the UI and adjustment improvements. I've had a few crashes, but nothing terrible or shocking or too inconvenient.
Now, though, I've finished processing and editing a job and am attempting to export my web galleries for my client to see and the whole thing grinds to a screeching halt. I'm looking at the activity window and while it's been exporting for 45 minutes already I only have 110 of 340 WEB images exported. What gives? Aperture 2 would've exported this whole thing in 20-30 minutes at the very most. This thing is C R A W L I N G along.
Am I doing something wrong?
I know there was some talk of ensuring that Ap3 was running in 64 bit mode to get the best performance. Trouble is, I have a 24" 3.06Ghz iMac (4 GB RAM) and I can't even figure out if the **** thing supports 64 bit mode. Can't find any details on Apple's tech specs site. But really. . . can that be it?
I'm really shocked that this web export is going so tediously slowly. It seems like the processing/export engine should've improved in speed from Ap2, not gotten so much worse.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd surely appreciate it.
I'm sure I'll still be here watching the export crawl along by the time someone pipes up.
Other than this issue, though. . . Man it's an amazing UI improvement.
Thanks.
max.

Unfortunately, this is a big problem with the program. I did some experiments and found that the more adjustments you have layered up, the slower the export goes.
For example, I took 15 virgin raws and they exported on average 6.7sec/photo, not too shabby, but the photos were of course, flat.
Then I did 15 raws that I had applied a bunch of adjustments to, including shadows/highlights and some minor dodging. These took 14 minutes (56sec/photo).
I turned off the s/h brick in these photos and they exported in 5 mins flat, basically 1/3 of the time.
The other night I exported a photo that I had used s/h, and extensive brushing on. 1 photo took over 10 mins (I didn't time it exactly). So it appears that the big culprits are brushing and shadows/highlights.
I filed a bug report to Apple, via the feedback option in the Aperture menu. I suggest you carry out your own testing and do the same. Hopefully it's something that can be addressed, as I find shadows/highlights and brushing quite useful for the photos I take.
One more thing: a Mea Culpa of sorts.
In another thread titled "Aperture Frustrations" I had mentioned about switching to another program. Yes, I too was frustrated.
Well I tried that for a day or two, and well, I'm back. I had come from V2 of that program to Aperture and realized why I did it in the first place. Aperture just does such a nice job with my 7D raw files and everything about the workflow is just better. I really missed the level of control I have with curves, levels, shadows/highlights etc. Not to mention the very good DAM aspects of A3.
Even though there are annoying performance problems, I am willing to ride it out and hope for the best (i.e. a performance patch). However, you can bet that Apple will be getting bug reports and enhancement requests from me on a regular basis!
We all deserve this thing to work as advertised, and once it does, I think you'll see lots of people switching over.

Web Gallery Export Bug

When exporting web galleries the default copyright line has an added character in it. It looks like this:
Photographs: Â© 2006
Is anyone else experiencing this bug as well, or is it just me?
And is there any way to avoid it, without having to go into each page and edit it out manually. I like that line on top of my pages, and dont really feel like regenerating hundreds of galleries that were created before this bug popped up in 1.1
I had hoped 1.1.1 would address it, but it didn't ...

this is for the gallery index pages:

Web gallery image setting control

Develop settings persist in slideshow, but web galleries seem to have had the settings changed considerably. Has anyone else seen the not-at-all-subtly increased brightness (gamma change?) on web gallery exported images? Is there a way to configure LR to not do this, or to set export preferences other than size and compression quality? Workarounds, if not? Other gallery software recommended (LR exports work fine for me, just not through the web gallery)?
My experience is on an Intel Duo iMac 10.4.10. (And staying there until Adobe releases LR for 10.5.)
I have searched the forum for previous discussions on the topic. I did not find anything relevant. Apologies if I missed something.
Thanks for any wisdom!

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you got an answer to this question. I am desperately trying to figure out how to post my pictures in their ORIGINAL SIZE to my web gallery.
Thanks!

Web Gallery not showing up in iPhoto

I've set up multiple albums through the web gallery feature and successfully synced them to my .mac account. The problem: one particular gallery shows up on the .mac account but not in iPhoto anymore so there is no way to manage it/add to it/delet it??
thanks

Jim:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By not showing up do you mean the gallery is no longer listed in under the Gallery section on the left of the pictures in the gallery are showing a blank window with an "!" in the middle?
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.
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.

IWeb cannot see my .Mac Web Gallery

Hello All,
I have some albums in my .mac Web Gallery. When trying to do an insert->.Mac Web Gallery, iWeb says "no albums or movies available", even though I do have stuff published.
Any ideas why could this happen?
Thanks a lot

I found that I cannot insert "protected" galleries. Simply allowing "Everyone" access to the gallery, publising, then giving iWeb a chance to catch up -- poof -- it shows and I can add the .Mac gallery.
After the fact I have gone back in and "protected" the gallery with no ill effects. Other than not seeing it on the insert .Mac gallery menu item again.

Aperture to .Mac Web Gallery Help please. Urgent !!

Hi, I having been going round in circles trying to figure this out -
Q1) I cannot find a way to update to my published .Mac web gallery from Aperture(2.1)
When I select the versions that I want to add to the gallery I drag them into the Web
Gallery album in the projects inspector and synchronize the gallery to update, but
only the Master images are added to the published web gallery, not the versions !?
Q2) Also, when I originally created the Web Gallery album Aperture imported my entire
project (All masters, complete stacks, vers etc) but somehow only published the versions
I had selected for publishing to a .Mac Web Gallery. Why has aperture included the Masters,
complete stacks etc in the Web Gallery album ?
If someone could help with this, particularly Q1, it would be much appreciated as I have
a client waiting to see more versions which I cannot manage to add to the existing
published Web Gallery for that client.
Thx

Hi Ernie, thx for responding.
I have tried everything, but same result - Aperture only publishes the unedited Master, not the version with Adjustments. When I originally published images to the .Mac web gallery I disabled all downloads, as the gallery is intended for client review & selection only.
Some further questions if you don't mind.. Am I doing the right thing in dragging versions from the project to the Web Gallery album (in projects inspector)? When I do that I see that Aperture copies both the Master & version to the web gallery album (they are both visible in the web gallery album) The problem is that only the Master is published to the .Mac web gallery (which i don't want), and not the edited Version(which I do want) This worked ok the first time around when I created the web gallery album and published it to .Mac galleries, however I did notice that the web gallery album in Aperture contains the entire contents of the project (Masters, complete stacks & versions etc)
The Aperture manual is very vague on adding new images to a web gallery album and publishing them to an existing >mac Web gallery. It says that this can be done, but not how to do so. I may be missing something simple and obvious, but the Aperture user manual is really not sufficient in this area. Any further ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thx again.

Can't get Web Gallery button

I can't get the Web Gallery button on my iPhone. I do have iLife '08, .Mac account and published successfully albums to Web Gallery on .Mac from iPhoto. I followed the instructions how to transfer the albums to iPhone. I factory restored my iPhone and I restarted my iPhone. I'm up to date with my software. I use .Mac email account as default. I followed the discussions on this issue, which only some of you have, in iPhone forum. I still can't get the button on my iPhone and open the Web Gallery there.

My Apple Mail account is .Mac. I can delete this account on iPhone and sync it back on iTunes without difficulties. The account works both on iPhone and my desktop. Web Gallery button doesn't show up no matter what I do. As a test I published new set of pistures to my Gallery. The album is on .Mac but I can't see it on iPhone because I don't have the button.
My approach to any issues is that I first blame myself and then Apple. I don't know what else I could do wrong to cause this problem. Still I believe it's a small hitch somewhere.
I appreciate your concern and help.

Not able to create web gallery due to .Mac account settings not configured

Hi all,
I have been trying to contact Apple support with the below question twice but have not received a reply. Perhaps someone can help.
I have subscribed for the .Mac trial and I am trying to create a web gallery from iPhoto.
1.) I have selected an event.
2.) I click the plus sign in the bottom left hand corner of the iPhoto page.
3.) I then choose web gallery
4.) I then get a pop up message saying that my .Mac account has not been configures correctly and that i need to go to preferences to rectify the problem.
5.) when I click 'open .Mac preferences' I am asked to login to .Mac ( this seems strange as I am already logged in).
6.) when I log in the login keychain pops up, when I enter my password it tells me the password is incorrect (error -128)
So I seem to have multiple problems which seem to prevent me from creating a web gallery. I have no idea why my .Mac account is not set up correctly as the system did not ask me to set the settings when I created the trial account.
Can anyone help ?

LN,
I can login to mac.com that is not the problem i think because i can login to.mac read my e-mail etc. For the charges, this is a free 60 day trial account I am working with so there should not be any charges right ?
The first problem is that my mac account does not seem to be configured correctly ( as i said i dont know what i need to change)
The 2nd part is that my 'login keychain' password does not seem to work. Is it an option just to delete the 'login keychain' ?
Anyways thanks for the help I appreciate it.

Missing Metadata in Web Gallery images exported from Aperture.

Images that I export directly to my .mac web gallery from aperture do not show any meta data on their info pages. In aperture the images have all meta data.
I have checked all the presets and all include metadata. There is no specific preset for web gallery I notice.
Has anyone else solved this?

I want to change all the metatdata in groups to copywrighted. I can not seem to do this. There could be a checkbox on or off when importing. This would be perfect for bringing in older copywrighted archives.

How can I export Keywords when creating a Web Gallery?

I would like to include the keywords applied to an image when exporting to a Web Gallery. I have learned how to include the caption, and there's a possibility of copy and paste the keywords to the caption before export, but as you can tell, that adds unnecessary steps.
I suppose the larger question is "how do I customize the exported web gallery, and the content it includes?" but that will come next.
Big picture, I'm working on creating a searchable "proof book" and my initial thoughts are to create a custom html template which includes a Google search bar, and indexes / searches the keywords of each photo, exported to the web gallery.
Step one is to get the keywords to export ...

Right-click the page, choose View Page Info, and click the Permissions tab. There you can turn off automatic loading of images (uncheck Use default first to enable the controls). Any luck?
There might be a way to restore that more direct right-click menu item if you need it frequently, but I haven't researched it.
To clean up a page for printing, you also could consider an add-on like the following: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit :: Add-ons for Firefox]. Then you wouldn't have to re-enable images each time.
