A way to have a Photo Mosaic?
Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Does anyone know of a way - either within iWeb or in some software - that one can create a Photo Mosaic?
For example, instead of one photo on the Home Page, a mosiac of photos?
Thanks,
- Ross
You will need to use a 3rd party editor that can handle multiple layers or objects in one canvas. Since you only want 8 photos in the collage you can use OmniGraffle in it's free/demo mode (maximum 10 items per project) and create any type of collage you'd like. Once created you can export as a jpg and import into iPhoto. I used it to create this poster size, 20 x 30, collage with 96 photos. It's an very powerful application.

Is there a way to have different photos on each page of your springboard, other than jailbreak?
basically the questions says it all. i want to have several photos for my wallpaper rather than just one. is there a way to do this other than the jailbreak method and i do not even consider that.
thanksYou only get 2 places for pictures, the lock screen and the home screen ( I think that's the name, I can't remember right now, but you get the idea ).

Got tired of iPhoto and finally committing to using lightroom. Using the Lightroom 5 i purchased last year and want to commit to making it my primary way of managing and editing all of my photos ( about 8K). Is there a way to have imported images from my hard drive/Finder (MAC) show as the edited or moved image when i am working in lightroom? Basically want what i am doing in Lightroom to be reflected on my hard drive and vice versa so that i don't have to "add" or "copy" every time I want to work in lightroom.
No need for apprehension Heath.
Unfortunately Lightroom does have certain limitations:
A particular catalog can only be accessed by one instance of Lightroom at one time.
(ie it is not designed for multiple simultaneous access.);
As far as I am aware a catalog cannot be accessed remotely although images can be.
Victoria Brampton has a solution using Dropbox where both the images and the catalog are stored on Dropbox.
Individual users download the catalog to thier workstation and work on images etc and then shut down Lightroom and update the catalog back to Dropbox.
No one else should acessing the catalog or images while one user is using the catalog and images otherwise a conflict will arise and someones work will be erased.
Disclaimer: this sort of setup is NOT supported by Adobe and is not risk free (for more reasons than I have elaborated).

Is There a Way to Have Multiple Photo-Album Pages?
... specifically by duplicating a current album page. I have an Album page with 13 albums on it, which makes for slow loading.
I was thinking of breaking it into 3 Album pages. The easiest way, it would seem, would be to duplicate the existing Album page twice and then deleting the Albums I didn't want on each page. But Duplicate is grayed out for the Album page. Is starting from scratch the only way to have a 2nd or 3rd album page?
It also doesn't seem to be possible to copy an album so it can pasted on a new Album page.Just as Cyclosaurus pointed out if you drag a photos page from an existing album page onto the icon of a new, empty album page that photos page will be transferred/moved to the new album page and the captions will be maintained.
Give it a try and if it doesn't do what you expect just quit iWeb without saving any changes.

Please help!! I have iPhone 4 so does my wife, we each have our own apple id's for these devices. We have just got an ipad to share for at home use. Is there a way to have both our id's on the ipad to share our music photos etc?

i share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?
You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled). -
I have a book I want to sell as an EPUB when done...only one problem I got the message when doing so: " floating objects aren't supported in ePub format" So I found out by checking inline format that will work but it moves the text box and photo to where it want to go and not where I want it to be...this will not work so how do I make it stay where I place it and still save without the error of floating object issues.... In addition, when I let it go where it wants to go it lets me stay as an ePub and takes me to iTunes producer ( I have my books on iTunes made with iBooks Author) and is this right...I want to make it ready as an ePub not for Apple but for other eBook readers... Can anyoe help? Thanks
I copied text & paisted it and then draged the 3 photos from the file...then clicked on the photo then clicked the inline boxon tool bar nexed to floating one and that is how I did it
I do not know what you mean "cut & paist" how do I get the photo in from my picter folder if I do not drag it to the page in Pages?
I went to my photo folder and copied a photo and paisted the photo on the top left part of the page and it went there but there was no text to the right of photo...I could crop the photo to what ever size but no text to the right of photo...
This is just too big of a mess of a program as it should be easier then this,,,I hav e 300 photos in this project and would have to re-paist them all...that is nuts...
I see the button to the right of inline and floating that has 6 [lace to have the photo but the text does not float around the photo...
If this is what your talking about this very little freedom in my page layout as I need it to let me place it where I need it to be and the wrap the text...
There has to be an easier way to get my books ready for other formats other that Apple's iPad...iBooks Author was way eisier to make ready for iTunes...Love that program!!!
Want my books for sale on all the other formats and was told by Apple Pages whould do it...
I must be be out to lunch or the designers at Apple are ??? -
I have separate photo albums for different activities (Christmas, Rome vacation, etc.) and drag respective photos in appropriate albums. As time passes, I find that I pictures from other albums accidentally added to the various albums. Is there a way to lock the album when I am done so changes can be made but only if I intentionally mean to do so?
No
What ever you drag to an album is added to it
You can suggest a feature rto Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page, or possibly in some sort of booklet format. Thank you very much.
You can make a Book and have a photo on one side and your text description on the other.

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
this ?Is there a way I can stop
this ?
No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
See this link: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space. -
Is there a way to import photos to the iPad and put in an album without having the photo also in the Camera Roll? I have a photo transfer app but when I import the album and photos they are also shown in the CR. When you delete them from CR they are deleted from the album too.
You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro -
Is there any way to have OS 10.5.8 mail leave an attached photo in the same orientation as it is in Preview?
First, to answer the question, I took the photo with a Canon camera but did not choose to use the Canon software to download the photo to my desktop. I just did a select and drag to a new folder on my desktop from the sd card. Canon has some software called Imagebrowser that may be used for this, but I took the simpler route.
I have not come across what you called the EXIF orientation before and have no idea how to access it. What software is needed to determine the EXIF orientation? Sorry I'm so far behind on this. I usually used Photoshop and iPhoto to enhance photos.
By the way, I imported the photo into iPhoto then attached it to the email and the orientation didn't change. It was the same in the attachment in Mail as it was in iPhoto. I just don't want to have to go through that extra step every time I attach a photo.
Thanks for your help so far. How do I get the EXIF orientation? -
