Applying labels to all images in a stack

A long time ago, when I was using Photoshop Elelments I found a plug-in that made it possible to work with stacks as a unit. 
If I labeled the top image in the stack that lable was applied to all the images in the stack; then when I sorted the images, the stack remained in tact; instead of just the top image, with the label showing up. I could also label the top image in a stack with flaga and, for example quickly delete all the image with an "X". Oterwise is seems the only option is to open each stack, by Ctrl-clicking the number in the upper left corner, that opens the stack; with all the images selected, then click the star lables I want to apply to all the images in the stack.
I don't remember where I found that plug-in.  I'm hoping the guy who wrote it; and all I can remember about him is that he was from England, has written a version for Lr?

I love a man with a sense of Humor
Your the man!  Thanks so much.  I bracket all my shots and load them into the  HDR editor in Ps; my workflow will go so much smoother now.

  • Labeling all images in a stack; when all images are stacked

    A long time ago, when I was using Photoshop Elelments I found a plug-in that made it possible to work with stacks as a unit. 
    If I labeled the top image in the stack that lable was applied to all the images in the stack; then I could sort the the image on top and all the images in the stack would stay together, or if I deleted an image in the stack all the images in the stack were deleted.  Without it I have open each stack I lable and apply the lable, so when I sort the stacked images they stay together.
    I don't remember where I found that plug-in and I'm sure it would work in Photoshop.  Anyone else use it and know where I can find it?

    I do not use Lightroom when you wrote "Stack" in Photoshop that refers to the layer stack.  The link you posted seems to be more about paring files.  I do not know much about lightroom except it organizes your images using logical databases. Lightroom calls this its Library system.  I know the book libraries have book stacks so it would surprise me that Lightroom had some type of stacks.  You started by stating when you used PSE you used something to manage stacks.  I thought now the you are using PS you needed something for it.  This thread most likely belongs in the Lightroom forum.

  • How to sort and filter all images when using stacks?

    I have a project where all images are arranged in stacks. I have also gone through and given each image a rating or rejected it. Now I want to sort out and display only a certain selection of images, i.e. rejected images for deletion or four star images etc. But the selection filter only seems to work on the stack pick. Can I change this so that the filter works on all images, even if they are part of an open stack? If not, how could I else single out all the rejected ones and delete them? I don't want to break the stacks.

    The only current way to do this is via Smart Albums, as there is a checkbox at the bottom of the settings HUD: 'Ignore Stack Groupings'.

    P.S. If you'd like to see this added to the regular search HUD (I know I would), please leave feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html

  • Ability to Flag *all* images in a Stack

    Hi,
    I shoot for HDR using auto-bracketing, and then auto-stack and collapse-all-stacks to have just the top (0ev) shot showing, and then navigate through the shots from a session in full screen to Pick them before using Refine.
    But, I then have to go back through all of the shots to find & expand the stacks that are picked to set the Pick flag for all of the other images in the stacks - it would be sooooo much easier if I could just set 'Pick' on all of the images with one keystroke!
    Please  ........?

  • Lightroom 5.7 not applying watermark to all images

    I am having an issue with Lightroom not applying my text watermark to all of my images.  It seems to happen randomly.  Some of the time it works and others it does not.  I have tried checking for updates and there are none available.  Is anyone else having this issue?  Any ideas on how to fix?

    First off I ask why you want a watermark on All Images. I only apply a watermark to images I post online in public galleries. What if you want to Print an image for display on your own home/office wall, do you still want to see a watermark on that image (I wouldn't)?

  • How can you make an image adjustment on all images in a Stack

    If one had a stack of images that need a brightness adjustment. How can you preform the adjustment a stack of images that need the same amount of adjustment?
    Many times I have a stack of images that need a +10 brightness adjustment on them and it would save a lot of time if I could do it on a whole stack of images.

    good points, as l/s takes every adjustment ... including autolevels/exposure ... BUT DOESN'T make them auto to the next image(s), it just lifts the current image settings !!! which is fine for a five shoot series all at the same exposure, but not so much when it is not !!!

  • Keyword all images in Stack?

    Is there any way to apply keywords to all images in a Stack? Is there any way to select all images in a Stack without expanding the Stack?
    Thanks!

    Bosskev -- thanks for looking. Seems an oversight, no? The feature of Stacks is that the images therein are all so similar that only one of them will be a "select" -- therefore they are likely to share most (if not all) keywords.
    In the meantime, my keyboard method for keywording a Project with stacked images is to use {Shift+k} to open the selected Stack, {Command+e} to select all images in the Stack, {Alt+Tilde} to move the focus to the Keyword entry field in the Control Bar, type my keywords and press {Enter} after each one, click one of the stacked images to return the focus to the Viewer, then {Shift+k} to close the Stack and {Right Arrow} to move to the next Stack.
    Anyone know how to return the focus to selected images in the Viewer (from the keyword entry field) with a keyboard command?

  • I can't apply labels to images in version 2.1.1

    Last November 3rd I updated IBooks Author to version 2.1.1 (459). Since that day I can't apply labels to images. I can edit labels for the existing images, but there isn't any label list when I import a new one. If I create a new widget, labels are applied and can be edited.
    I've tested this issue with new documents and existing ones with the same result. I also tried to restore a version 2.1 from my previous TimeMachine backups, but no succes.
    I've being working well since I installed Maveriks, until this version 2.1.1 update. It is a bug? I've read complains about the same failure in the comments of the App Store from Spain. Can I downgrade iBooks author?
    I am finishing a techical book with hundreds of images, so, you know what I am feeling.

    Might be a bug - best to contact Apple directly so they can take a look, I think...

  • Remove ALL Images from PDF Export?

    I'd like to remove ALL images from a PDF export (Indesign CS6), with the intention of having the smallest file size possible for review. All the images are Photoshop PSDs.
    I have created a PDF Preset (PDF 1.7) that omits EPS, PDF and Bitmap.
    That covers any PSDs that contain opaque backgrounds, i.e. are considered to be non-transparent. However, any PSDs that do NOT contain such backgrounds still appear in the exported PDF. I assume they are NOT considered to be Bitmaps?!?
    I've gone for maximal compression of images (in the Preset) also just to see how small I can get the file, but it's still over a meg, and I'd really like even smaller. I live in a rural part of England where net access is painfully slow, and even a few meg of data takes far too long to upload, not to mention the constant drop-outs. Consider further that my document is likely to grow by several orders of magnitude and hopefully you can see why I'd like to sort this issue out as soon as possible.
    I've not done any scripting but assume it would be trivial to hide images with a script. However, I'm not sure how such a script might know how to make visible only the images that were previously hidden by the script. Obviously I would not wish to unhide images that must stay hidden. Maybe some form of image/object tagging, if that's even possible in this product, i.e. tag them "temp hide" on first pass of the script, and so forth.
    Any suggestions much appreciated.
    Regards,
    James

    @James – to mark the container frames of the nonprinting images by a fill color, you could add the following lines of code in the for loop:
    allGraphicsArray[n].nonprinting = true;
    //The parent of the graphic is the container that holds it.
    //We could use it to fill it with a tint of e.g. 20% of black:
    allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillColor = "Black";
    allGraphicsArray[n].parent.fillTint = 20;
    But this approach will add a new problem for images, that only use a portion of the holding graphic frame. Or are only partly visible due to a clipping path or a clipping mask or totally transparent areas due to transparent pixels.
    Already colored backgrounds will be recolored…
    @Sandee – I see the advantage of the PostScript to Distiller way in this situation, but there are two disadvantages:
    1. Live transparency will be flattened (could be no issue in this use case, but you never know).
    2. The gray area with the big X will be applied also to parts of the images where no pixels are present (transparent pixels in PhotoShop or TIFF files).
    To work around all these issues we need a more complex script that is building a  path object around the transparent parts of an image or using an applied clipping path for that purpose and fill that with a gray tint (and maybe with an X).
    Here some screen shots to illustrate the problems (with or without using PostScript/Distiller):
    1. Original set up:
    One placed PhotoShop file with transparency stacked upon the text frame.
    The image inside its holding frame is selected.
    The visibility of one of its layers depicting a second chair on the left side is switched off.
    2. The same setup in a different view:
    3. After running the script with the two additional lines of code:
    Using the PostScript method would do nearly the same plus adding a cross using the  area of the selected image.

  • How do I copy only the flagged image in a stack to an album?

    Within a project containing many stacks, I want to make an album showing only flagged images from some of these stacks. But when I try to do this, I end up with the stacks in the new album - which is not what I want.
    For example, from a small gathering I have 94 photos in 24 stacks. (Among other things, I auto-bracket.) The correct image is the "pick" in each stack. I flagged 8 photos and uploaded them to a Picasa Web Album, for people to see. I want to make an album inside the project showing only the photos I uploaded, but I have not found how to do this.
    I can view the 8 flagged photos by filtering, and though each has a badge showing the number of photos in its stack, the remaining photos do not appear if I click on the badge or press Shift-K or select Open/Close Stack: all that happens is that the badge toggles between the number of images in the stack ("x") and "1 of x" - say, between "4" and "1 of 4", if there are 4 images in that stack.
    But when I put a flagged image into an album, I get its whole stack. It does not matter whether I drag it or choose New > Album and click the "Add selected items to new album."
    This seems like such an obvious task that I feel I must be missing something.
    Any help?

    Just to expand on Frank's answer: that's how Aperture works.  Stacks travel together.  You will see the same behavior regarding filtering in the Album that you see in the Project.  (Album is a container.  As with a Project, you can filter the Album container to show only items that meet your filter criteria, but the contents of the container don't change by being filtered.)
    This is why Album picks are so useful.  In Projects, the Stack Pick is the left-most Image in the Stack, and is the Image that shows when the Stack is minimized.  In Albums, you can specify an Album Pick.  (The default Pick is the Stack Pick.)  When a Stack in an Album is collapsed, the Album Pick is the Image that shows on top.
    Added the following paragraph:
    So you could have a Project with Stacks of bracketed exposures (an excellent use of Stacks), you could make the best of these the Pick, and then you could make an Album showing, say, the second best ones by putting them in an Album and designating the second-best Images as the Album Pick of each Stack.
    You should have no trouble creating an Album of your selected Images (in this case, you are selecting by "is flagged").  With Stacks collapsed, you should see what you seem to want, which is a group of the Images you selected to be in the Album.

    I want to make an album inside the project showing only the photos I uploaded, but I have not found how to do this.
    That the rest of the Images in the Stack are there shouldn't be a concern.  Why is it?

  • Sort by number of images in a stack

    I use stacks a great deal, we have the ability to sort by rating, by picks, by date, etc etc, a very useful way would be to sort by number in stack.
    I stack images and then batch process so say a selection of 27 images arranged in stacks of 3, followed by a selection of 12 images arranged in stacks of 4.
    This would make my work flow so much faster, that or a way to select all the images in a stack, like cmd click top image to select all in the stack, that would work, providing I was then able to cmd click another stack and select all those images as well.

    is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?
    None that I know off. But why are you asking? Did you notice any performance problems or problems to render the slideshow? Then it would help to know more about your hardware RAM, disk, CPU ..
    If you already encountered problems, you may wish to have a look at this thread - although it relates to Aperture 3, not 2:
    Is there a limit on the number of photos you can use in an Aperture slideshow?
    And as I said in that thread:
    I'd expect the limiting factor to the length of a slide show to be the patience and "Good Will" of your intended audience

  • Sorting of images within a stack

    When working with stacks some strange things happen:
    - When trying to duplicate one image out of the stack into an album the whole stack is moved to the album. When I than delete this stack in the album the order of the images of the same stack in my projects is changed.
    - When rejecting images within a stack my rejected images are not automatically moved to the rejected images folder. Instead these images stay in the stack even so they are marked as rejected.
    - When sorting images within a stack by using different ratings and than trying to limit the image view by showing for instance only images with 3 stars or more nothing happens. Also showing rejected images only does not work within a stack. Instead showing images by rating is applied to the whole project and not only the stack
    Do I do something wrong or is this a known apperture bug?
    MBP   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    David, your understanding (use) of stacks is causing a conflict. The whole idea is basically to group a series of similar images and choose the best one of that series, called the Pick. Then, within that series you can rank those images in an order of Pick to next best, and so on. You can view stacks open or closed - when closed, the Pick is the one on top.
    Here's some info from the Help Menu that will help answer your questions:
    Note: When you place a stack in a book album or web gallery or web journal album, Aperture displays the stack pick. If you drag a stacked image that is not the stack pick into the book or web gallery or web journal album, Aperture reminds you to select the stack pick. If you don’t want to place the pick in the album, but want to use a different version from within the stack, select the version you want and then make it the album pick by choosing Stacks > Set Album Pick.
    Dragging Stacks
    You can drag an entire stack to a new location, and you can drag specific images within a stack to a new location. When a stack is closed, dragging the stack moves the entire stack. When a stack is open, you can drag individual versions to new locations in the Browser. You can also drag images into a stack. If you drag a stacked image into a different project, however, the entire stack moves to the new location.
    If you still want to be able to use a stacked image as you have stated, then take that image out of the stack, split the stack, or create a version of the image and remove it from the stack.
    Take a quick refresher through the help menu - it will give you some further details and ideas so you can accomplish exactly what you need to do.
    Hope that helps!!

  • After Import in LR 4.2 all images have development modifications

    When I import images no matter if RAW or JPG, when I go to the development module all images have various modifications on all slidedrs from exposure to saturation.  I haven't changed any settings or global settings but each slider will already be modified.  Previously when importing images all sliders were set to ZERO, but now all of those sliders are anywhere from - to + modification.  Can someone please help?
    LR 4.2, Windows 7 64-bit, 24GB ram, Catalog has been optimized, Develop Settings and Metadata setting are set to none on import.
    Thanks,
    Curtis

    First thing to check is the Presets Tab of the Lightroom Preferences to make sure that "Apply auto tone adjustments" is NOT checked. If it's checked, uncheck it and try importing again.
    If that setting is NOT checked, then perhaps you've inadvertently changed the default develop settings.....to check this take one of the adjusted images into the Develop module, then press and hold the Shift key. The Reset button at bottom right of the screen will change to "Reset (Adobe)"....click on it and see if the sliders revert to zero. If they do, you need to reset the default develop settings....Menu Bar>Develop>Set Default Settings, then click on "Restore Adobe Default Settings".

  • Develop: One Step back for all images?

    Hi
    I wonder how you solve this problem: often I am in a situation, where I want to apply one or two settings to all images - but only temporarily...then I would like to go back to the previous state... applied to all images with one click.
    for example: I create a slideshow, but don't develop every single image for that...so I apply a lot of saturation and some sharpening to all images ... or check out how all images look in b&W.... after that I want to return to previous state of the image as easy as possible.(which all have different develop-settings already??)
    I tried: change one image...then mark all...synchronize... but how can I get back to the previous state of the image (which all have different develop-settings already??)
    would appreciate help
    Phil

    Select all, create a new collection with the virtual copy option on, make adjustments with entire collection selected. You can then do anything you want to the virtual copies without affecting your original set of adjustments. If you want, you can delete the collection when you're done.
