Apperature to make online album of family pictures

Is there a way to have an online family album with different smart web pages [or journals]. I have over 1000 old family pictures in Apperature. I want to put them online for my extended family. I started this in iPhoto, but was hoping to do this straight from Apperature, and have the ability to automatically update the online web pages as I scan in new old photos. I want a front page with info about the oldest ancestors and their pictures, then separate pages viewers can go to for each of the children and their children, etc. etc.

As you know, the ideal way to capture them is via a scanner.
However, you should be able to get good results using your HD camera.
Undoubtedly the best quality would come from copying them with a still camera.
The quickest, easiest and best way to set them up for photographing is as follows:-
1. Put camera on a LOW tripod and point it down to the floor between the legs.
2. Place photo on floor, position it carefully, zoom into it and shoot it.
The other method is to try to stand the photo vertically somehow (?) and point the camera horizontally as you would when taking a normal picture but this is ridiculously complicated and difficult and nowhere near as good or as quick as the method outlined above.

How do I make an album of smart albums?

I have created several smart albums in iPhoto, and would like to combine them into one. I have make smart albums that have pictures depending on how old they are. One is for the last three months, another is of pictures that are 360 to 365 days old and so on. When I try to view all of these on appleTV, I can only choose one of the smart albums at a time. I would like to combine them into one album, but when I create a new smart album, I am unable to choose the smart albums.
Is there a way to combine all of my smart albums into one to view on AppleTV?
Thanks
Chip

Create folder, and move all three smart albums into the same folder. Then select the folder. It will contain the combined photos from all three smart albums.
Select all photos in the folder and drag them to an empty album. Only, you will have to recreate this album, when the smart albums change.

Stacked Pictures show in online album

Online album photo orientation incorrectly converts all pictures to landscape

My online photoshop album photos are always converted to lanscape, despite the pictures having the correct orientation in the album on PSE v7.0 before they are uploaded. This is frustrating when viewing the slide show as a lot of pics are on their side, can onyone help please, thankyou

Well, that one's a know issue in using Online Albums.
In the desktop software, we use the EXIF Orientation Flag to know if the image should be rotated when displayed. I.E. The real image isn't properly rotated, but we just present it properly rotated in the Organizer, and in the local version of the Online Album.
When it gets sent up to Photoshop.com for sharing, since the original image isn't really rotated, and Photoshop.com isn't currently honoring the EXIF Orientation Flag, the image isn't rotated during it's presentation,and thus is show improperly.
Fixing this problem is indeed on the list of things to fix for PS.com.
In the meantime....
For any photo that is showing up as improperly rotated at Photoshop.com, simply open that photo in PSE with the Editor. Rotate it. Rotate it back. Save it over the original. Wait for the next Backup/Sync cycle to happen and the copy at PS.com will be replaced with the properly rotated version.
Hope that helps.

Online album picture orientation

I bet somone out there can help, please. How do I stop my pictures all being converted to landscape orientation when I load them into an online album? They are all the right way up in the window prior to them being uploaded, I don't get it. Thanks, I really appreciate your help.

OK, you are asking the wrong people here.
You should ask in the appropriate Elements forum linked below.

I'm wondering about sending pictures to an online album

If you have unlimited text/picture messaging on your plan but no internet, does it cost extra money to send a picture to the online album? Or is it considered the same as sending a picture message to a friend?

When you send a picture to your online account it goes towards your messaging plan. No internet is used.

How do I make a new album for my pictures without using a computer?

I don't have a laptop so I need an Esau way to make new albums.

You don't
The ipad works with a computer. it is not really a stand alone device.

How do I make new albums in photos and move picture from one album to another

How do I make new albums in Photos and move photos from one album to another

At the moment you can't - though it should be possible (if it makes it into the final release) in iOS 5 which will be available sometime in the Autumn. Photos cannot currently be moved between albums on the iPad.
If you sync separate folders from your computer you'll get an album for each of them on the iPad, and you have to sync all the folders/albums that you want together as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad (not including a folder in a sync is the way that you delete it from the iPad).

How do I make a smart album with ONLY pictures of a face with no one else?

I'm not handy with logic so if this is simple, I apologize. I'm trying to make an album of pics of my girlfriend. So I do a smart album and it comes up with her pics. But what I WANT is only the photos where she's in them with no one else tagged. How do I do that?

Do not think is is possible unless you add face is not every other face
suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Online album questions

I've been starting to use online albums. I've posted two albums on my Adobe space for selected family to view. I guess I expected that these folks would go to my xxxxx.photoshop.com and be asked to sign in with their email address for verification if they have permission to view these albums. What happens instead is they get an email for each of the albums giving them an URL to visit. Once they get to the site, they can view that album with no problem, but for those that I have given permission for more than one album, they can only view the one album designated in the email. For another album (same permission), they need to start with the email they received for that one, and they can only view that album at that time. Is this correct? Am I missing something?
Second - it would be great if I was asked if I wanted an email to be sent. I included myself in my email list just to see how many I got and there were 12 in a couple of days just on two albums. These can get annoying. Every little change prompted a new email. Just would like the option of not sending when I make minor changes, which I do a lot.
I too, would like to see a basic grid of pictures for my folks to view. I realize there is a option once they get to the site to view in a grid, but the slideshow effect isn't necessary for my viewers. I saw that on another post.
I'm posting old family photos from different branches of our family and it's been a wonderful tool for sharing with family across the country! I would love to post smaller and more albums, but won't be easy for people to understand they have to go in 40 different times from 40 different emails rather than signing in once to see those albums I've given them access to. For now I'll have to post my 4 of 5 300-image albums for them to sort through. If I'm understanding this wrong, please let me know.

Thanks Bob --
I'll give it consideration wether to go public or not. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, who would be interested in my old photos anyway, other than family. I'm leaning toward "no",just because I don't trust putting personal information "out there", but then I do now understand that each Album can be viewed ONLY through that email's link. I was hoping I just didn't know about a nifty trick. Maybe if I "Frend" everyone in my family, but I doubt that will work either.
I've been collecting as many photos from my family all over the US and trying to put family photos together back 6 generations. So far, I've been lucky enough to collect 1,600 photos. Very exciting for my family, too. PSE is a great way to keep these photos, tagging everyone's names and sharing the information. I was creating slide shows and mailing CDs until I ran across this photoshop.com sharing option. I'll still use online albums, but knowing this makes a difference on how I plan to organize my Albums. I could see making albums for different branches of the family (making many more smaller albums), but that would be too many emails for folks to shuffle and would end up being confusing for them.
I use PSE for everthing....I even have 9,000 recipes in one catalog. Easy to retrieve with ingredients tagged.
Please keep in mind as PSE goes forward that I'm not the only one who wants this feature...
Thanks for answering!

Cost to Send Image from Phone to Online Album

I was under the impression that it was supposed to be free to send photos I took with the camera on my cell phone to the online album.
So why was the bill about a $100 this month? I can't afford that. How am I supposed to get the photos off of my LG VX5500 for free?
I'm only a part of a family plan but with things like they are now I won't be going with verizon when I can get my own plan.

hi Elistariel -
With no texting plan, it is 25 cents per picture message. The LG VX5500 (same phone my daughter has) does not use a memory card, so you can try two different programs on your computer (both free) and see if either one will get the pics off and saved on your computer; from there you can upload to your online album without a per picture charge.
You can try Verizon's VCast media manager - download and install it on your computer, then use the USB cable to link the phone to the computer and transfer the pics with VCast.
Here's a link
A third party program called BitPim will also work, but it's more technical and does a lot more than just transfer your media. It can also brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing, so it's "use at your own risk", as Verizon won't cover any losses due to using BitPim. It does work though--I have used it, very cautiously!

Online album and verizon cloud question

Ok, I have around 60 pictures stored to the online album from as early as 2009. I receive texts from Verizon that my content will be deleted if I don't log on to www.vzwpix.com within 30 days. It redirects me to another page but I am able to view my album. I obviously don't want these deleted, and it says everything is being converted to the Verizon cloud accounts. So I went ahead and signed up for the Verizon cloud account but the problem is it is seperate from my online album and I cant figure a way to put my pictures from the old online album to my Verizon cloud account. Any solutions to this?

Events are organised strictly on date and time, as read by iPhoto from the Exif data in the Photo. You cannot manually sort.
Create Albums. You can do much more organising with Albums, use Photos from different events, place them as you will. Best of all, Albums use no disk space at all. They simply reference the file on the Hard Disk. So a pic can be 1, 10 or 100 Albums with no wasted disk space whatever.

Having trouble getting my online albums saved onto my hardrive . . .

I am a new user for the Photoshop Elements 8 and I have also just recently purchased a new computer and a new camera. All these new things are not making for very easy time for me! I did manage to get all of my pictures onto the PE8 but when I first created my free account (which I thought was going to act as the backup) it actually stored my pics into online albums. I have tried to move/copy the albums to my harddrive but everytime I try to copy them to a file that I created in "My Pictures", PE8 tells me that it is an unacceptable place to send the album. So, I guess the best question that I can ask is: how do I disable the online albums so that when I organize my albums in PE8, they are stored somewhere on my computer rather than online?? Or, how do I move the albums from online to my harddrive?? (When I did try to move it from online to the harddrive, I did use the export to harddrive option and it would look like it was working until it told me that it was an unacceptable destination . . . what is an "acceptable destination"?)
Any suggestions for the newby would be greatly appreciate:)
Thanks . . . Kari

Hi Kari :
Based on your post i woul like to answer three major questions here that i think might help you use PSE 8 more efficiently :
1. How is using backup/sync to maintain online albums useful and where are the files downloaded from online account stored ?
The sync agent checks for changes made to your catalog files and albums at regular intervals and updates your online accordingly. So this Sync provides you with an additional resource to recover your files in case you were to lose them from your desktop accidently. In this case the 'Check Online' option of Reconnect comes handy. Choosing this will search for the missing files in your Photoshop.com account and recover the missing files. By default the downloaded files from online account are stored in the My pictures folder under a sub folder named Photoshop-com. You can see the exact location where the downloaded files are kept from : Edit>Preferences>Backup Synchronization. In this dialog box you can look for the folder for downloaded files.
2. How do I move my albums to hard drive ?
Albums is a feature of PSE 8 . So you can see the basic hierarchy and contents of an album using PSE. However if you want to store your albums on your hard disk : You can right click the album, select export to hard disk and store it by a particular name on a desired location. This saves the album as a playable slideshow to you disk. You can play this by using the index.html that shows in the new album folder created.
3. How do I stop Backup/sync ?
Open the Backup/Sync dialog box : Goto Edit>Preferences>Backup/Sync uncheck backup/sync is on.
But it is always recommended to use Backup/sync to safeguard your files as told in (1). You can always choose to backup only selected albums from the backup/sync dialog box.

Online album

I have sent pictures to my "online album" from my phone but verizon.com says there are no pictures in my gallery.How do i get to them??

Thanks for the additional information Camille703! I want you to be able to successfully store and view your pictures on our Online Album.
Keep in mind, when logging into your My Verizon account, ensure you are logging in under the mobile number you are transferring the pictures from. Let's try managing your media following these steps: http://vz.to/IH70xR. Let me know if you're able to view your pictures on the website after completing these steps.
