An easy one about photos

I thought I'd just see if I can get this answered quickly. I'm just starting to use iWeb yesterday for a few minutes, and I can't figure out how to get rid of the pictures that were put on as an example. I'm working on doing other things but thought I might just ask here to make it easier.

My face turns red at how easy that was.
Hey I was just at your web site titled iWeb. I just glanced at it though, but I recognized your handle. Like if I can't figure out how to replace pictures, how am I going to use the scripts you wrote.
OK I can see how replacing the pictures work. But what if I post that funny picture I have of my wife, and she threatens to leave me if I don't remove it right now. Can I only replace it with another, is there no way to just remove a picture. Just another thought, thanks for the advice, and thanks for your web site with advice for if I ever get that advanced.

A nice Easy one about my Zen

Folks,
All I am looking to find out is how I manage to put my files on to my memory card via my pc.
When im currently transfering files it only shows me to add it to my Zen, not memory card.
Only way I so far have been able to do it is via the Memory card - Removable Disk option on the Zen itself.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Alzabra,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Here's a KB article about transfering files to and from your SD card. Hope this hel

How can I delite copies in easy way from "Photo", there are about 4-5 copies each of 3500 pictures!

How can I delite copies in easy way from "Photo", there are about 4-5 copies each of 3500 pictures!

Did you import an old iPhoto library into this one? It sounds like you did - NEVER import an iPhoto library - it does not work and creates a massie mess
If that is wha tyou did and you still have the old library available drag the bad library to the desktop for now and drag the old library to your ictures folder (No Importing Involved) and launch iPhoto - it will open the library and upgrade as needed - once you are sure your photos are safe and at least one backup cycle has run you can trash the bad library on the desktop

New to mac and iphoto, questions about photo structure & organization

I bought a new Macbook Pro a couple of days ago and am still figuring things out. I wasn't displeased with windows...I just decided to try a mac anyway, So far, I adore it except for one thing, the pictures.
I spent hours researching whether to download and use picasa 3 for mac or iphoto. I decided on picasa....and now I've changed my mind. (Mostly because I tried to take pictures of the moon tonight, and they looked great in camera, but Picasa could only pick up a black screen whearas iphoto actually saw and defined the moon- and with the editing software on the two, the picasa auto-edit looked like a picture that was created in microsoft paint, and iphoto came out with a beautifully contrasted photo).
Now that I decided to use iphoto, I have been researching how to switch and still seem to have a lot of questions. (I've poked around numerous forums but have found conflicting answers on different sites).
1) I organize my pictures by folders with the month and year. I know iphoto organizes events, which it seems to determine based on photo similarity. Will my photo structure still appear in finder -> pictures?
2) Is it possible to stop iphoto from organizing my pictures and just trust me on what I want?
3) All of my friends and family use PCs, and there is a chance that due to financial concerns, when I eventually replace my macbook pro (far in the future) I could switch to a pc. Does iphoto make transferring pictures more difficult? (If I understand correctly, it does not change the photo file, a jpeg is still a jpeg but I want to be sure)
4) I do not want iphoto to duplicate all of the pictures already in my library....if I import from finder-users-pictures, will it simply use those, or duplicate all 150gb worth of pictures?
5) Any other tips for someone completely new to macs and iphoto?
6) This is very silly, but how do I uninstall picasa (I know how to uninstall on a windows but want to make sure I do things correctly on my mac!)
Also, just a "bonus"- regarding events vs. files I create, will iphoto create events within the program but leave my file structure in the library it imports from alone? If I use finder to go to where I store my photos, will I still see my file structure regardless of what iphoto does?(Does that make sense? I'm having a hard time trying to describe it)
I apologize if this question is foolish or misplaced- I did read many other posts but didn't see the answers I was looking for.

Your questions are neither foolish nor misplaced.
The first thing I strongly suggest is that you make a trial iPhoto Library. Import 100 or 200 pics and explore. Iphoto isn't right for everybody, and if you're going to use it you will need to rethink things a little.
1) I organize my pictures by folders with the month and year. I know iphoto organizes events, which it seems to determine based on photo similarity. Will my photo structure still appear in finder -> pictures?
A: Events are based entirely on Date and Time not on 'photo similarity' You can set the interval for what makes an Event in the iPhoto Preferences: iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General Pane: Autosplit into Events... And select from the drop down menu.
Will my photo structure still appear in finder -> pictures?
Yes or no, depending... iPhoto can run as a Referenced or Managed Library. In the former case, yes you files will be visible in the Finder, in the latter case they won't.
Note that Referenced or Managed refers +only to file storage+ It offers no extra functionality, it does nothing at all. App like iPhoto are your go-to app for your photos. If you use it, then you never access the photos via the Finder. Ever. It's always via iPhoto or the many, many hooks into the OS that it has.
I'll detail more on Referenced v Managed below.
2) Is it possible to stop iphoto from organizing my pictures and just trust me on what I want?
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Iphoto does basic date and time organisation by default. You can change it, you can change the location of the photos in Events, merge them and then using the other tools available - Albums, Smart Albums, Faces, Places etc you can organise your photos whatever way you want.
But what do you mean by pictures. There is a distinction between Photos - the image of your child holding his dog - and files: A Jpeg is just a file. Iphoto is designed for you to +forget about the jpeg+ and get on with the interesting bit: the pics of your younger and his pet.
3) All of my friends and family use PCs, and there is a chance that due to financial concerns, when I eventually replace my macbook pro (far in the future) I could switch to a pc. Does iphoto make transferring pictures more difficult? (If I understand correctly, it does not change the photo file, a jpeg is still a jpeg but I want to be sure)
A Jpeg is a Jpeg is a Jpeg. If you migrate to another app or an entire OS you can export the photos plus any and all metadata you've added to the Finder and move it on. (Caveat: You cannot export Faces. There is no agreed standard on any system for exchanging this info.)
4) I do not want iphoto to duplicate all of the pictures already in my library....if I import from finder-users-pictures, will it simply use those, or duplicate all 150gb worth of pictures?
It can do either. And this brings me back to the Referenced v Managed discussion above. By default, iPhoto will Manage the files, that is, it will copy them into the Library. You can choose not to, but I strongly recommend that you don't:
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
*If you want to edit the photo in another application:*
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
5) Any other tips for someone completely new to macs and iphoto?
*To Push Home a point*
For someone inexperienced with Macs and inexperienced with iPhoto I cannot stress enough that Managed Library is the way to go. I understand there is comfort in seeing all those folders. But inside the Library that's all there is: all those folders, stored so that an inexperienced user can't grub things up!
The iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. Want to see inside?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
Now close that window and forget about it.
So, once you've imported your photos to iPhoto in a Managed Library, the surplus duplicates are +your folders+. Of course, in time, trash them to get back the wasted disk space. But don't do it today or tomorrow. There's no hurry. When you feel confident that you understand how iPhoto is working and that's it's working for you, theat's the time to reclaim the space.
I organize my pictures by folders with the month and year.
If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.
6) This is very silly, but how do I uninstall picasa (I know how to uninstall on a windows but want to make sure I do things correctly on my mac!)
Drag the app to the trash and empty it.

Question About Photo Printers

Excuse me for asking a question about photo printers here, but I could not find a place in the Apple Discussions form for printers.
I'm thinking about buying an Epson R1900 printer since my primary selection criteria is the quality of glossy photographs.
However, I have been told that use of the R1900 for general purposes (with a "standard" printer setting and non-photo paper) will detract from the R1900's performance when it will be used for printing photos (with photo RPM printer settings on premium photo paper or other media). But I just do not know whether this is correct. I was planning to have only one printer and expecting to use the photo printer as my "general purpose" printer (text, documents etc.).
I would appreciate receiving advice/guidance from people who know about printers and/or people having with experience with the Epson R1900.
Thanks for your help.

I use my photo printer in two ways.
For high quality prints I use the manufacturers Glossy paper and their expensive archival Quality inks for excellent results. More commonly though, I change out those ink cartridges and replace them with a cheaper water soluble ink bought online and use normal A4 copy paper for printing web pages and PDF documents.
This second practice is about 60% cheaper in ink and copy paper is only about 1 cent per sheet and is satisfactory for such documents.
The disadvantage is that is does require physically replacing one set of ink cartridges for the other, also if moving from basic to quality, I also do the inkhead alignment tests and adjustments to ensure that the output for glossy photos is going to be first rate.
I find this necessary to prevent waste of good pigments, yet it still allows the printer to be used for more mundane usage of printing documents. The cost of printers is heavily discounted, as the manufacturers recoup their cost from the sale of ink. Hence one needs to have this dual usage in place to get the best of both worlds.
This advice is not specific to one model photo printer, rather it is a general approach developed after spending too much money on good ink, printing web pages.

Thinking of making the PC to Mac Move, questions about Photos App

Helped my mother on her Mac a little bit and got the Photos App working for her. Now my turn, I have been a die hard Windows user, but I will never use a Windows phone. (Can never give up my iPhone) I have been taking on a huge family project of scanning old photos and dating them. Along with digital photos from early 2000’s. I have probably about 10,000 photos. (And 20,000 more to scan) In Windows I use photo gallery 2012 to organize and date etc. my photos. The thing I like about photo gallery is that when I make a change to a photo it edits the original. The dates and GPS I add to the photo are forever saved to the file in the metadata.
I am very tempted to move to a Mac. (I have an iPhone & Apple TV, I would like to sync across all my devices) I never like iPhoto, the idea of a “non destructive” editing means I have to import and export photos. I think the new Photos app might work for me.
A few questions:
If I move all my directories/folders of my photos to a Mac, will I be able to use the Mac Photo App to edit the photos and the changes I make be saved directly to the photo file in the respective folder? (Or are the photos then saved in a new location after being edited in the Mac Photo App?)
If I turn on the iCloud Photo Library (on the Mac & iPhone) I understand all my photos will be uploaded to the cloud and any changes made on either device will be seen on the other. My question, if I make changes to a photo that is in the iCloud will that change be made to the original photo file that is stored on the Mac? (Basically I want to have at all times a hard drive copy for my personal backup)
With the iCloud Photo Library feature I understand that any new photo I take with my iPhone is uploaded to the iCloud. Are the photos taken on the iPhone physically downloaded to the Mac? I know I can view them on the Mac Photo app, but I want to know if they are downloaded to the Mac and if so where does it save the new photos?
Thanks,
Nick

I do not use ICloud so someone else will need to answer those questions. For question one though... Photos, like Aperture and Iphoto before it, puts your photos in its own filing system. You would need to export the photos to get them back out of Photos. You can export them to anywhere in your mac file system.

How do you move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5?

I want to move one (1) Photo Folder from one Catalog to another Catalog in Lightroom 5 and my laptop (no external hard drive involved). I have already started the editing process in Catalog #1, but due to the size of the Catalog #1, I want to move the current job and future work to a new Catalog.
Currently the backup feature takes an hour to complete. There are also significant delays during large image edits.    So I am thinking, that by moving over to a smaller Catalog, Lightroom will work faster.

Hello ... and thanks for your response.   But I have discovered a couple problems. And I am sure it is "operator error"
I used your method #1. The first window that popped up stated that it was making a temporary copy of the catalog. This took about 20 minutes.
Next, the window showed thumbnail photos on the right and a list of folders in my catalog on the left. The catalog contains folders stored on my LapTop, as well as my external hard drive.
There appeared to be a distinctive difference between those photo folders stored on the external hard drive and those on my LapTop.   The folders on the external drive were named as I have all my folders named: Date_CustomName. The folders stored on my LapTop were named as: Lightroom_5 Backup_Date_CustomName or some such combination and my memory is foggy on the actual use of underscore, slash marks, dashes, etc.
I searched the list closely, and the Folders without a reference to "Lightroom Backup" were not showing.
So as a test, I "added" to the new Catalog one folder from the external hard drive and two from the LapTop.   After the transfer, the new Catalog had accurately named my external hard drive and the folder within in and the photos and their edits transferred accurately.   The other two folders were not named but listed shown in the library module as grey boxes as images with indications of editing. But when I clicked on it, there was a notation that popped up that the file could not be found.
Any ideas?
I am going to create a second new catalog and try your option #2 now.
Thanks

What about photos that *don't* belong to an event?

i love the new "events," but what about photos that are not part of an event?
for example, one day in 2001, i imported a bunch of photos from around the net to use as desktop pictures. but those photos don't exactly comprise an "event." that same day, my sister sent me one photo of her newborn baby. now, iphoto's calling all of that day's photos an event. although i love the concept of events, it bugs me to call certain groupings "events," when that's not what they are.
i can't seem to find a way to delete an event. is it mandatory that each photo belong to an event? if events have truly replaced "rolls," i imagine every photo must therefore belong to one.
i already have albums entitled "family" and "desktop pictures," so those photos are already organized elsewhere. but how are you guys handling random photos that don't exactly qualify to be called "events"? as i type, it occurs to me to create an event called "non-events." but i'd still love to hear how others are dealing with this.

An Event looks to be just another name for a Roll. And in all previous versions of iPhoto all photos had to belong to a Roll, whether you liked it or not, either named by your convention or by iPhoto's default.
I guess with the metaphor of film rolls fading quickly as digital cameras advance, a new moniker for the base catalog entry was necessary. Suits me fine as long as the equivalent functionality is preserved with new features a bonus worth the price of "upgrading".
I have not tried the switch to the new iLife iPhoto version yet (iMovie 8 is a HUGE step backwards so my caution meter is on FULL alert), as I have the same reservations. I have scrupulously kept Rolls organized by import date and require all that existing metadata be transferred perfectly.

Spry Slide Show-how to use one size photo for large photo and thumbnail?

Hi all,
I'm am using Adobe's Spry Slide Show. I can only use one size photo 640x480px for both the large photo and the thumbnail.
I changed the size of the small thumnail on the html:
                 <li><a href="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="490" height="367"><img src="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="63" height="47" alt="photos-1.jpg" /></a></li>
The thumbnail looks fine until you hit Live View or Preview in Browser then photo comes in full size and you can only see the upper left hand corner.
I assume that the java is doing this. But I have no training in Java.
How can I change the Java Code so the thumbnail comes in at 63x47px?
Many thanks.

Wish I could use scaled down versions of the thumbnails-but I can't.
Why not?
    img.src = info.src;
    img.style.width = "490px";
    img.style.height = "368px";
You're shooting yourself in the foot with this. It's overriding your HTML and CSS values.
As an FYI, Adobe Abandoned the Spry framework late last year.

HT204053 i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to

i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

How can I contact or talk to some one about my bill

How can I contact or talk to some one about my billing, there are charges on my cc that I no nothing about can someone help me please.

Check your iTunes Store Purchase History (and that of any other AppleIDs which may have your CC linked... Partner / Child / Old AppleID accounts). Use iTunes Store & Mac App Store: Seeing your Purchase History and Order Numbers and a computer with iTunes installed (you can't see this info through the iTunes or App Store Apps on an iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch).
If the purchases are there in the Purchase History and you or a family member recognise them then it's up to you if you request a refund for accidental purchases via Email using http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ or accept the charges.
If however you find them but know it's not something you or someone else authorised to use the AppleID have bought, use the iForgot Website to reset your password, then go to the AppleID Website, sign in to Manage Your Apple ID then go to the Password and Security link on the left to change Security Questions then call AppleCare (0844 209 0611) to speak to iTunes Store Fraud as someone has hacked your AppleID. If you can find no record of the amounts which have come off the CC, call the Bank or Credit Card company and have them block the card and issue a new one as the details have been registered with another AppleID without your knowledge, THEN get in touch with AppleCare and speak to iTunes Store Fraud for a refund of the fraudulent purchases.
