Add photos to a specific Collection from Survey view?

When I'm doing my edit from a shoot, I often use the Survey view to look at groups of images. Also, I use collections as a way to store selections into future use categories like Contests 2010, Portfolio, etc. In Survey, it seems only possible to add photos to a Quick Collection or view it in an existing collection, but I want to be able to add it to other collections either via drag & drop or by contextual menu. Is this possible to do this and if not, is this something other users find useful enough to add as a feature request?

I think the drag and drop would be difficult to implement as all the images in Survey View have to be targeted.
However, if one had the ability to set more than one target collection rather than a single collection or the Quick Collection I think that could be useful for organizing while in Survey View. Just as we can change the meaning of the color labels we could be able to select say, five different collections and assign a target shortcut to them. So whie in survey view (or any view for that matter) I could hit 22 and the image)s) would be added to any collection I deemed to have a target of 22. Add the shift key so as not to confuse with Ratings.
Currently I cannot suggest a simpler way for you since you state that you are in Survey View. A feature request? Sure go ahead and make one.

How do I add photos to etsy using Dropbox from my iPad?

I am a brand new iPad user. I need to create etsy listings and thought I would be able to do that with an iPad using files from Dropbox. When I click on add photos nothing happens. Is this not possible? Should I have gotten a MacBook air instead?
Confused iPad newbie. :)

If the website is using Flash to upload the photos, then no, the iPad won't be able to do the upload. You'll need to use a regular computer.

Exporting Photos of a specific size from iphoto 08?

Hi,
I just upgraded my iPhoto and I'm trying to export some pictures for a website that specifically requires jpegs with a maximum pixel size of 600pix on the longest dimension (it also has a file size limit, but I'm not sure what that is).
In the old iPhoto I could simply specify this in the "export file" window, but this new iPhoto only seems to allow for "small," "medium" or "large" export. I don't see anything anywhere that lets me decide what size I want my photos exported (I admit that I find it a bit strange that this functionality was removed, and seriously hope that this is not the case). Is there some way that I can do this?
Alternately, can anyone give me an idea of what file and pixel sizes are associated with these "small, medium and large" options are?
TIA
Robin

Robin:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Easy to do. Just use the File->Export->File Export menu option. While in the File Export pane select JPG as the format so you can set the pixel dimensions you want like this. The photos will be resized and saved to the location of your choice, usually a folder on the desktop works best.
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to add photos to iPad and iPhone from my Mac?

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4. I have downloaded and installed the new OS for them, and I run iTunes 11.0.1 on my Mac. I can no longer find a way to sync photos from my Mac to either device. Why no photos tab on 11.0.1?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Check specific attributes from common views

Is there a was to only checkout certain attributes from a common view?
For example if I am only interested in checking out the lastLogon , userAccountControl and Description (AD) attributes from the "user" view. How would I do so with out checking out the entire "user" view?
During a workflow I wish to check out the specific attributes and then make my changes and then check the object back in.
Please let me know if this is possible.
Another example)
Currently if i wanted to unlock all acount from a workflow I would use the following code. But I am really only using the "account locked" attribute so if there were a way to limit the view checkout to the "accountlocked" attribute then I could probably streamline the process.

Checking out a user view will always get you the whole view, you cannot get a partial view. What would be possible is coding your own view, but that requires a lot of hacking and I don't think it's worth the effort.Sorry to jump in late but just for clarification of others who happen to stumble on this by a search you most definitely can checkout a view with only partial data returned. It's one of the optimization techniques recommended to speed up workflows.
See [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-5823/ahyci?l=en&a=view&q=TargetResources] and use the TargetResources argument when checking out a view.So your checkout view action would look like this:

Ways to add photos to a collection?

When editing images (meaning, performing selects/rejects) I like to use collections. Is there (or can there be) a better way to add images to a specific collection other than dragging & dropping? It might be beneficial to have a contextual menu to send selected photos to an existing collection. As it stands, there's an option to add to a Quick Collection or to find what collections a particular image currently resides in. I don't like using Quick Collections, especially if I have several collections that one image might go into, so it would just double my work to go from Quick Collection and then into the collections I really wanted in the first place.
Is what I'm looking for possible? If not, is that something anyone else here would find useful? What's the method of requesting features from Adobe?

You can press "B" to add to a quick collection for temporary use and then move the entire quick collection to a permanent collection later if you needed to.
edit sorry i missed the OP. Disregard

Add photos without syncing?

Is there a way to add photos without syncng? Like from the internet?

how about some basic organisational systems?
the ability to have different folders for example? or to be able to import/sync/whatever from more then one folder on my (windows xp) computer? this is really annoying...
why also do the subfolders in my playlists on itunes dissapear on my 32 gig touch? i am really tired of waiding thru all my kids playlists (spoken aduio books for car trips etc) and my wifes xmass collections everytime i want to switch up some music! on itunes i just put them in subfolders for each person...
syncing is a pain, especially since i havent figured how to sync in what direction! (do i loose tunes when i save to ipod vrs computer when i alter both playlists independantly?)
while im ranting....grin
why cant i use my touch hooked up to the computer with a cable similiar to a wifi? id love to get the weather etc... but i cant make it work because i dont have a wifi connection? thats nuts.
it doesnt want to support email that way either...
if anyone could lend some sanity to my life it would be hugly appreciated!
can we trick the computer/ipod interface cable into making it think its a wifi?
the ipod is locked in the glovebox of a 79fiat spyder 90% of the time, played thru a harmon kardon interface via fm unfortunatly so far to a eclipse deck thru a kicker amp into boston acoustic component speakers. a great way to cruise the summer away!

You can open a Finder window and drag photos into your project directly.

Wrong aspect ratio in Survey view

I selected 3 photos and went to the Survey view. Of these photos, 2 were full frame, and 1 was cropped so it has a wider aspect ratio than the full-frame pictures. Survey view showed all 3 the same size, so the cropped one was stretched vertically and looked horrible. What's up with that?
...Lightroom 1.1 on Mac OS X.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's a good tip to keep in my back pocket.
I don't think this is what happened here though -- the preview image looks correct at all other views in Library mode (grid thumbnail, loupe view, and compare view are all correct; it's only screwed up in survey view). No amount of switching between views, or invoking Library->Preview->Render (1:1 or standard or telling it to discard and rerender) fixes the one in survey.
It also turns out this is reproducible on demand, if I go from survey view on an uncropped photo straight to develop, crop, and return to survey: if I select 3 images, hit N to enter survey mode, click one of the images, hit R to go to Develop and enter crop mode, crop the image, hit E to return to Library, hit N to go back to Survey... the photo I just cropped has the wrong aspect ratio.
If I quit Lightroom and reinvoke it, that corrects the bogus shape of the image in Survey view. I haven't yet found any other way to correct the shape.
As an added bonus, if I go back and forth between Survey and Crop (using R from the Survey page), Lightroom will pretty quicly get in a state where it's stuck in Library and any attempt to go to Develop will say "unable to switch modules", and I have to quit and restart Lr before I can use Develop.

Lightroom 5 - Bug in Survey view?

Hi all,
Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, it's the first time I've used these forums and I couldn't find anywhere else to submit a bug report.
I've recently started using Lightroom and have started with Lightroom 5. I've found that sometimes when switching between Loupe view and Survey view the images in Survey view are different sizes or in the wrong place:
I think it's after something has happened which will remove an image from the current selection while in Loupe view, on returning to Survey view not all images have been re-sized and re-positioned. It only seems to happen if Lightroom is trying to catch up after a lot of activity.
So the sequence I used to cause the second image was to go from Survey view to Loupe view using the E key shortcut, navigate between various images in the selection with the cursor keys (I did this quite quickly, so Lightroom was slightly delayed in its responses), press X to reject one of the images, which caused the image to no longer match my filter, then quickly after press N to return to Survey view. Doing anything which would cause a refresh of the images, such as contracting and expanding the section on the right, causes the images to sort themselves out.
I'm using Lightroom 5.0 on Windows 7, let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks,
Andy

I haven't seen this in GRID view but there is a problem with phantom images being selected in Compare View and after leaving Compare View. This is another of many LONGSTANDING bugs still not fixed in LR5.3. This was reported almost a year ago. This is a SEVERE bug as you can accidentally delete or change images after using compare as images are selected that you don't know about.

As you can see in this clip, no photos are selected in the film strip, one photo is selected in the main window and the info line says there are two photos selected. If you switch to GRID it will show no photos selected but if you do a remove photo command, two photos will be removed. Severe bug as far as I am concerned.

How do I add photos from another collection to my saved Book?

Hi,
In my lightroom library I have created a collection set called "Wedding". As I have 1000 photos from my wedding, within this Collection Set I have created 10 or more Collections to organise these photos (Ceremony, Reception, First Dance, etc.).
I have created a new 'Book' which as expected, has created a new Collection within my 'Wedding' collection set.
When I first create the book (before saving it) it seems like I can click on a page, then browse my Collections and add the photo that I desire to the page.
After I have saved the book, I can't so this. I want to work on my book later, and use my existing organisation of photos, and add photos to my books from these collections.
I know I am missing something basic (I am new to lightroom). I don't understand why I can't add a photo to my book after I have saved it.
Each time I click on one of my other collections, a new unsaved book appears in the main project window.
I have worked out that if I copy all my wedding photos into the new "Book" collection, then my photos are available for use - but this defeats the purpose of organising my photos into separate collections, and it doesn't seem like you can create a sub-collection within the Book project.
I also can't seem to find any documentation to explain this properly.
Any help would be apreciated - or if I coud be pointed to a good resource.
Cheers,
Mandy.

Thanks for the response.
I saw these discussions previously, but not of them seem to answer my question (nor confirm that what I am trying to do cannot be done).
If I want to create a "Wedding Album" book, do I have to firstly use the Library module to drag ALL the photos I may want to use into my "Wedding Album" collection (saved book) ?
This seems annoying as I have already categorisied my 1000+ wedding photos into separate Collections using the Library (so that I can find the one I want easier).
It seems as though the Book module would function much better if you could create a book, choose a page that you want to add a photo to, then browse through your pre-configured collection sets & collections, and add photos to the book from the navigation panel on the left when you have the "Book" module open. (Rather than having to copy the photo first into the "Book" 's Collection, then adding it to the page that you want)

Why can't I "add photos to photo.app" from Safari?

I only use Safari for the ability to grab and "add" photos or images directly from Safari into (previously - iphoto) but now it's Photo.app. Why does this feature cease to work? Why are there so many more steps to using Photo.app. I do not think this is an improvement to download to my drive then go to the Photo.app to then import the image.
My OS is 10.10.3. Am I the only one having this issue? Anyone find a workaround because Firefox is the clear winner if this little feature has been stripped away in Photo.app.

My irritations and query is because that option no longer works for me. The option is "available" but does nothing to right click for the menu options to "add to photo". It produces no action whereas it use to direct right into iphoto where I could make quick notes or the reference regarding why I wanted the image.
I can only download the image then go and import into Photo.app. I can't even drag the image over in order to make quick notes while I remember why I was collecting the image in the first place.
I am not sure if there are enough users of Photo.app at this time having this issue or at least not enough powerusers who relied on this once handy feature to note the disappearance in Photo.a
I wrote this up as a feature request. I hope others do too. Or tell me how to resolve this because I don't think Apple software engineers have considered the break in communication between Safari and Photo.app. Maybe it's intentional. IDK

How do I add photos from camera roll to "My Photo Stream"

I upgraded to iOS7. Used to be able to select photos -> share -> photostream -> and "My Photo Stream" was an option...
In iOS7 i can not figure out how to do this. when I go to share -> icloud -> it shows other shared photo streams, but it does not show My Photo Stream as an option. If i try to add to album, i see My Photo Stream, but it's grey'ed out as a non option to click on?
"My Photo Stream" is hooked up to my apple TV, and this was how I added photos from shared streams of other family memebers to it.

Hi Bobnbo,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want the photos in your Camera Roll to be moved to My Photo Stream. The article linked below answers a lot of frequently asked questions about My Photo Stream, it should answer your question and give you some other general information you may be interested in also.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
When you turn on My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will automatically push to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos that you take automatically upload to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream doesn't push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture automatically upload when you connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream upload.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and, under Favorites, select iCloud Photos if you're using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later (or Photo Stream if you're using 2.1 to 2.1.3). Open My Photo Stream. Click the Add photos button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.
I hope this helps.

Consider using sshfs to mount your Pi from your Linux boxes. It's much easier to configure and manage than samba. It sounds like you already have your Windows machines mounting your Pi so Samba is doing its job in that respect.
More info on sshfs in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshfs
To help get you off the dime, here's a modified line from my fstab that I use to mount my Pi with:
gav@PI:/mnt/backup /mnt/rpi/backup fuse.sshfs rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0
Subsitute my mount points with yours.
For a password-less mount:
ssh-copy-id gav@PI
after you've set up ssh and generated some keys on your client box.
Here are some relevant lines from the smb.conf file on my Pi that I use for my one Windows box in the house that might help you with your write permissions:
security = user
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
guest account = gav
; And my share setup:
[rpi]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /mnt
writable = yes
; printable = no
; write list = @krb
[torrent_dl]
path = /mnt/video/torrent_dl
writable = yes
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
guest ok = Yes
case sensitive = No
read only = No
Hope this helps.
