50.000 RAW Images - into one Library or more??

Hi,
I wonder if it makes sense to have more AP Libraries?
Right now we have i.E. one Library for all our scans (10000) - this Library has several Projects (scan 1-2000, scan 2001-4000 etc)
One Library got all Europe Pictures (Projects are Italy, Germany, France etc.)
Does it make sense only to have ONE SUPERLARGE Library? or does it makes sense to have more?? (which maes it more difficult to search for Images because we have to open more Libaries to find it sometimes??
thanks for your opinion

I have over 2 TB of NEF RAW photos in 4 libraries. I tried having them all in one and it was WAY too slow. My libraries are set up in the 4 main categories I shoot. Each library has over 30 projects and the largest library has over 200 projects.
The only thing I don’t like is to have to go to properties and change the library pointer, close Aperture and then reopen it to change from one library to the other.

Incorrect colors after importing a RAW image into LR

I shoot in RAW mode using Canon EOS 400D.
After importing RAW images into LR, EVERY image I shot gets oversaturated with green-yellow colors. If I open same image in C1 Pro colors look fine.
If I change shooting mode on my camera to JPG (using sRGB color space) and import image into LR, colors look same as on RAW image in C1 Pro. All settings in LR and C1 Pro are set to default.
My guess is that LR applies wrong (camera?) profile when it imports a RAW image. I don't think it's a difference in RAW converters, because the difference in colors is really huge.
In the Camera Calibration panel I see ACR 3.6 profile selected and all settings are set to 0. Using sliders I can correct colors on image, but I failed to make a generic preset that could be applied on all imported RAW images.
My monitor (Samsung 940BF) is setup to use manufacturer ICC profile. I tried to change it to sRGB or Adobe RGB, it doesn't help. I'm running Windows XP SP2.
Any thoughts on how to return colors back to normal?
Here are 2 examples of the same image converted by:
1. LR

2. C1 Pro

Morey,
there is no such options as "import settings into LR" you have to put the ACR-settings-file into the "~/Library/Adobe Lightroom/Develop Presets" folder (on a Mac). I think in the end its faster to just copy the numbers manually from ACR and save the preset from within LR.
No, I don't think that calibrating has anything to do with profiles, at least not from what I understand as a profile (like sRGB or ProPhoto profile). It is kind of changing the stored default calibration values for a given camera type (something which one of course could also call a profile). It is definitive not like doing any double profiling or so.
@Lee Jay,
on different forums you can find values for ACR camera calibration of different cameras, googling should reveal some. Problem is that the numbers for the calibration change with the lens and, more important, there seems to be a lot of leeway regarding the behaviour of individual cameras of the same model. I found a lot of numbers on the net which didn't work with my D70, in the end I had to calibrate it myself. But your experience might differ, so I would suggest that you just have a look at what google offers.
One last thing: You don't need to buy a PS version which is compatible with ACR 3.7 or 4.0. You can use the 30 day trial version of PS for this. Afterall you most probably only need to calibrate each camera once and I doubt that Adobe disapproves this use of a trial version as long as it helps to sell LR. ;-)
Bye,

I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini and would like to merge them into one library. What is the easiest way to do this?

I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini back in the day. I would like to consolidate them into one iTunes library. What is the easiest method to do this? I do use i-Match to access all my music from iCloud, if that makes any difference. Thanks. Mark

Thanks for the reply. When I created the 2 libraries years ago I would hold down the options key and had 2 library names to choose from. Now it just shows a lot of files when I do that, With over 7,000 songs I think I will just look for the few songs from the original library I used to use that still interest me, if they don't show up in my default current library. Thought there would be any easy was to integrate all my music files into one library. I am definitely not going to spend days manually doing this, but thanks again.

I own a Canon 6D and just bought Photoshop CS6 and I am not able to open my raw images into Photoshop CS6. What do I do to fix this?

I own a Canon 6D and just bought Photoshop CS6 and I am not able to open my raw images into Photoshop CS6. I downloaded the camera raw and dng converter for it, but realized in the process that the one I downloaded does not work with my Mac version, 10.9.5.

Downloading Raw Images into Aperature

This topic has to do with getting Raw images into Aperture and not the application it's self.
There happens to be several ways to download images from a memory card (from the camera to the USB port, from a card reader to the USB port, from a card reader to the Firewire port and from a card adapter to the PCMCIA port).
The question I have is one of these better than rest for downloading RAW files. Connecting the camera to the computer is the most direct way to do it, but when there are several memory cards to go though it easier to a card reader.
Photoscene

I have a firewire reader. It takes less than a minute to pull all the images off a 1 GB card (Lexar 40x or 80x) and into Aperture.
It's funny that it's so fast, as it's substantially faster to pull the images off the card than it is off of disk. Some serious optimization there. Demos well, I figure

How may I stitch within Lr4 2-5 raw images into pano's, shot with my D800

How may I stitch within Lr4 2-5 raw images into pano's, shot with my D800?

I am running LR4.2 and Photoshop CS6 Ext (most recent version) on a Windows 7 Pro PC.
I did a Pano Merge the day before yesterday.
1. In LR4.x, select the photos you want to merge (I like to do a Lens Profile, White Balance and Noise Reduction on them first. I do this on a representative image. Then I Synch those sttings across the selected images.)
2. Right Click on one of the selected images or a selected Thumbnail in the filmstrip.
3. In the pop-out menu, select "Merge to Panorama in Photoshop CS6" (I think that's close to the exact wording.)
4. After some crunching, you will get a merge Window which allows you to select other options for the merge. This happens after LR4 exports copies of the images selected.
5. Select your options and start the merge.
I hope that helps.

Converting raw images into jpeg images

I am trying to build a small application that can help me to convert raw images (of one of my cam) into JPG image.
i have earched in google ans found many API ie, JRAWIO,JAI,mistral-0.9.6.809 and Imagero.. but i am not able to understand how to use them in my program..
JRAWIO is helping me to convert NEF and TIFF. though it has functionality fto use it for CR2 ans othr but i failed to use them..
plz help me out if possible with code(full if possible) and step by step description...

Hi,
we can not do the homework for you but we can help you out to the right direction.
1- Get the input stream from the image file ( source )
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(
"C:\\tmp\\sasha.jpg"));
2- Get your BufferedImage
BufferedImage buffImage = ImageIO.read(is);
3- look at the API docs for BufferedImage it contains the image data ( Raster)
4- I have not looked at the source code for the JRAWIO but I think it uses javax.imageio.* as an underlying transformation engine

HT1660 i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

Hello rmunsey,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
Adding music and other content to iTunes

Next, you can search for duplicates:
Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.

This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I add multiple images into one file?

I'm sure this is something that's been covered in another post (or even in the help portal) but I think my wording in my search terms are not correct or... I don't know, because I just can't find what I'm looking for.
I want to know how to add multiple images into one file/one image, both horizontally and/or vertically. To give you an idea of what I mean, check out :
http://www.best10apps.com/apps/comic-story,531596060.html
If you scroll down, you'll see a heading entitled : Screenshots of Comic Story. Notice how there's 3 pictures (divided by borders). 2 of those pictures are side by side, and 1 of them is below the first 2 pictures.
I want to know how to add different pictures/images and put them into one picture.

One way is to create template PSD files and populate them with your images using Photoshops scripts.
Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED June 12, added Picture Package Support via PasteImageRoll and BatchPicturePackage scripts.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
There are eleven scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

How Do I Combine Several Images Into One Image Which Contains Links To A Series Of Web Sites?

How do I combine several images into one such that the combined image contains a series of web links? In particular, I’d like to create such an image and put it into my Outlook email signature. At present, as per the image below, I have at least six separate images in my email signature with each image containing a web link. Is Photoshop the best tool for this job? Or would it be easier to do this in some other package? I have three packages at my disposal: Photoshop, Ilustrator and Dreamweaver. Can someone please explain in detail how I would do this? Or perhaps someone could direct me to a link that explains how to do this. Thank you.

Thank you for that correction, Hobotor. I admit I hadn't thought about an image map, in the context of someone who doesn't seem to know HTML very well... My thinking was running along the use of the Photoshop Slice Tool to get most of the way there...
To expand on the above, if you were to slice up your image using the Slice Tool, say like this:
Save for Web & Devices will create the HTML and save all the sub-images.
Then you edit the HTML and add a (hypertext link) elements surrounding the various images. Only thing is you'll have to set the border-style of the images to none.
For example:

<table id="Table_01" width="554" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="10">
   <img id="Sig_01" style="border-style:none" src="images/Sig_01.jpg" width="554" height="56" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="10">
   <a href="http://www.GrahamsWebSite.com"><img id="Sig_02" style="border-style:none" src="images/Sig_02.jpg"
        width="554" height="43" alt="" /></a></td>
</tr>
etc.
A full copy of the HTML and images can be found here... View Source to see it as an example:

Is it possible to paste two images into one layer?

I'm having some issues pasting two images into one layer. Every time I paste the second image, it automatically creates a new layer...is there anyway to prevent that from happening? I'm making an animation on photoshop and I want there to be more than image in some of the frames. Please let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks!

You can merge the two layers together once they're position. Select the top layer and choose merge down or select both and choose merge layers (from the layers menu).

IMPORTING NEF (RAW) IMAGES INTO iPHOTO 6 FROM NIKON D80

I have just got my self a Nikon D80 and find that I cannon import the NEF(RAW) images into iphoto6 - the files are not recognised - if I shoot in jpeg format it is fine
Bit of a disappointment as I was really excited to see what the ophotos would come out like! I have not imported the software that came with the camera - but I didnt think that was necessary.
Any help gratefully received

David
What kind of computer do you have? What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto? Have you applied the RAW updates from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads?

Can't import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6

unable to import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6 (Mac OS-X (10.5.8) - any ideas?

You'll need to install the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.5 - Search the Support/Downloads site for that.
It still may not work. Iphoto 6 is an elderly piece of software now and predates your camera by several years. If it doesn't work you'll need to update to iPhoto 09 or later.

I want to combine 9 images into one so I can get them printed on a card any help or do I need an inexpensive app?

I would like to combine 9 images into one so that I can print them on a card. Can I do this in i-photo or do I need an inexpensive app?

No, iPhoto can't do it. If you have Pages it can be done there very easily. Drag all of the photos into a Pages page, resize and arrange as necessary.
Otherwise you'll need a 3rd party image editor that supports layers.
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
GraphicConverter - $40
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Xee 2.1 - free

Importing raw images into lightroom4 without automatically editing.

when importing my raw images into lightroom4 they are automatically editing how do i change this?

My guess is that you just don't understand how Lr4 (and every other raw converter) works.
There is no such thing as viewing a raw file, only viewing the interpretation of a particular converter (of which your camera is the first raw converter to take a whack).
It's time to learn how to edit with Lr4 - what you start with in Lightroom will *always* be different than your camera, or your manufacturer software, or any other raw converter...
(assuming it's not an issue of inadvertently changed default settings or settings applied inadvertently upon import...).
Note: because Lightroom does not take camera-specific things into account, the initial starting point is often less optimized than your camera or manufacturer's rendition (e.g. no luminance noise reduction is applied, active d-lighting is not taken into consideration...)
PS - Lr4/PV2012 rocks - once you learn how to use it - it's the best!
A couple of specifics:
* Lr4 defaults to Adobe Standard (see Camera Calibration section in Develop Module), which tends to be run a little magenta-y, a little cyan-y, and a little bright. Consider a camera emulation profile, or try red (primary) hue +7 and blue (primary) hue +10 for portraits that use Adobe Standard (also camera calibration section). Also try pulling the lights slider left in the parametric tone curve. If you like this for some photo types, roll it into a custom profile using DNG profile editor (can even be precisely calibrated for your specific camera).
* Lr4 includes a little contrast boost that is not represented by the tone curve (nor the contrast slider). If too much for portraits, try -contrast, or -highlights...
