Blank images in web galleries

Since I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4.9, when I create a web gallery, I typically end up with 3 or 4 out of 200 images which are all white or partially white. If I export a version using the same settings, it works fine. Has anyone else experienced this? I really like using web galleries to show proofs to clients, but this makes the process a bit tedious.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am still experiencing this problem when exporting images as jpegs on version 1.5.3. It's now showing portions of some images blanked out in white and sometimes blanked out in black.
I use Aperture to create proofing galleries for my client and what should be simple has become a tedious process because I have to scan every photo in a gallery to look for corrupted exports.
Please point me in the direction of a solution.
Thanks!

Blank images using Web Journal

I've uploaded a Web Journal (around 4 hours!) and 4 of the images are blank/black (both the thumbnail and the main image).
Any ideas on the best way of fixing this problem. I'm loathed to just republish as I'm sure the same images will appear blank.
Thanks in advance.

Best way to Title Images In Web Galleries

What is the best way to add a caption or title to each individual image displayed in a Bridge Web Gallery?
Using the file name is unsightly as it always includes the extension - so that's out
Is there a way to extract a title from the metadata?
Any other way to accomplish this simple task?
Thanks,
Pete

Why not use one of the free web gallery creation programs – they are mostly much more versatile than the somewhat crude Photoshop offerings.

How can I use bridge to create web galleries with more than 10 images?

I am new to building web galleris for my website. When i try to load more than 10 images in a gallery , Bridge cuts off all images beyond 10. I am confident that I can do this if i can find the right settings

I am not at my PS computer right now, but I think the Preview only shows 10 images (for speed) but they will all be there in the final output.

Making large html web galleries (400-1400 images)

Please post a link to methods on how to do this if I have missed an earlier answer.
I have been building large html web galleries to provide to clients on disks along with the original images. When I do this for galleries of around 400 to 1400 images and up, the web gallery is made but there can be images that are missed and listed as 'not in the library' even though they are present and intact.
I have found a clumsy workaround. After choosing the group of images in the library and selecting the web template in the web module, I open each thumbnail index page and let the thumbnails load and then move to the next index page and let it load, etc. After finishing all the index pages I export the web page. Often I still get error messages but in fact all the images are loaded into the web page and it can be opened with a browser with no problems or missing images.
This is a time consuming method to accomplish something that should be easily automated and automatic. It seems that LR gets ahead of itself in making a page before it has actually loaded the image file...therefore an image is missed.
Has anyone found a better way to do this for large groups of images or do we have to wait for an update to correct this glitch.
Thanks in advance.

Try setting off the gallery export overnight and really leaving it time to finish. I suspect the progress bar isn't totally accurate and things happen before and after it has apparently completed. See if this works.

Web galleries put images under a bin directory

The web galleries put the images (both thumb and large) in a path like content/bin/images/... For hosts that use Microsoft Internet Information Server, the bin part of this path breaks the link to images, so they don't display. WHY IN G's NAME do you use bin? bin is for executables, in both unix and Windows, surely.
Because I use a host that uses IIS, I can't use Lightroom-generated web galleries.

Open the folder default_html.lrwengine (it's inside the lightroom app folder) (you should make a backup copy just in case)
Open the file galleryInfo.lrweb
after the line ["photoSizes.thumb.width"] = 130,
Add
["photoSizes.large.directory"] = "large",
["photoSizes.thumb.directory"] = "thumb",
In grid.html change the line <img src="$others/bin/images/thumb/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" id="ID<%= image.imageID %>_thumb" alt="" class="thumb" />
to <img src="$others/thumb/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg" id="ID<%= image.imageID %>_thumb" alt="" class="thumb" />
and in detail.html change <img src="bin/images/large/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg"
to
<img src="large/<%= image.exportFilename %>.jpg"
That should get you going.
As to why it uses bin? no idea..

Web Galleries and overall image migration

Hey all,
I've got a question regarding the MobileMe web galleries. I'm pretty sure that you can create them in three places; Aperture, iPhoto and iWeb. So my question is kind of relating to two methods of creating and collaborating web galleries.
Say that you've created a web gallery in iPhoto in a pinch but use Aperture primarily. Now you're on Aperture and want to continue to update that gallery. Is there a way to migrate that gallery from iPhoto to Aperture. Or, and this is my situation more specifically, say you're on vacation and create an Aperture based web gallery on your Macbook. Now you're back home and want to continue using and updating that web gallery but are now on the Mac Pro. Can that gallery be migrated from the Aperture database on the Macbook over to the database on the Mac Pro?
To that point, how about image alterations and settings. I've captured some 1200 photos while on vacation, tooled around with them on my Macbook while away making color adjustments, adding vignettes and general improvements. Is there any way to then migrate those albums and/or settings over to the other database in the other system? Seems a shame to have to do all that leg work all over again. Perhaps it's just a matter of grabbing album folders from the database package and bringing them into the other database package?

"Migrating" your photos, albums, adjustments, etc. is a piece of cake. Just export the project/s using file export project from your laptop and use file import project on your desktop. Move or share the .approj file from your laptop to desktop in the way you are most comfortable with.
More info here:

As for web galleries - can't answer that one with detail because I find them uselessly frustratingly unexplainably notoriously unreliable and I hate that you have no control over color profile for downloadable images. So I don't use them now after playing with them for a bit.

Web galleries: how to export the image list only?

Hi there.
I use Lightroom 5 for managing my web galleries, but I have my own software to run them. My workflow is this:
I use "Publish to folder" to generate the needed JPEG images, and I use another software to sync them to my server
I use the "Web Gallery" feature only to define the list and the order of photos in each gallery
I use the "Export..." feature in Web Gallery to get the .XML file with the list of photos - this file can be directly read by my software
The problem is that "Export..." also generates the images for the gallery, and after the XML has been generated I have to stop this task manually - it's an annoyance. Furthermore, it would be nice if I could export all my galleries in a single step, with multiple files generated, one per gallery.
I don't need anything else other than the image file name: the metadata are extracted from JPEGs. All file formats would be ok (XML, TXT, JSON, whatever).
Thanks.

Lr doesn't support the workflow you describe. So, best option is to do a Google serarch for third party web galleries/plugins to see if any of them do.
In menatime, you could submit a feature request at http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightro om

Web galleries--thumbs and large images not showing after uploading to server

I have created 2 web galleries--one html and one Flash. I saved them to my local drive and they work perfectly. Then I uploaded to our server (I checked to see that all folders/files made it, and they did) and then when I access the index.html file, neither the thumbnails or the full-size images show. In case it helps to see, here are the two URLs
FLASH

HTML

Anyone have suggestions/ideas?

Sean--that did the trick for HTML galleries...thanks! I am working on a IIS server, so I presume your fix and the server are related to the problem I was exeperiencing.
In a Feb 4, 09 reply you posted to someone else, you referenced a link (see below) about making similar file mods to make Flash work, but I couldn't access the link. Any chance you could repost these mods so I can use Flash galleries on a IIS server as well.
Did you try my suggestions in the Flash thread?

Web galleries of 600-1000 images

I am finding the web gallery solutions offered in Aperture quite limiting. The whole reason I would use the gallery would be to to force the client to do an edit. in version 2 things seemed to work better.
- In version 3 mobileme galleries are now limited to 500 images. I have on occasion split up shoots into tow of these galleries, not quite the professional solution I was hoping for. Version 2 mobile me galleries were not limited to 500 images. When I moved to ver3 and it tried to sync to the existing galleries of over 500 images, it play havoc with everything.
-webpages produced and then published on mobile me, take.... a ... long... time. I currently have had one gallery of 1832 images running for about a day now. Again not very practical for professional application. Needless to say the process hijacks Aperture,so not much else gets done, if it crashes which it sometimes does, we have to start the process all over again.
-the only other option includes outputting low rez and then using something else for the web gallery. But I like the one button solution Aperture offers, making Mobileme justifiably earn it's keep. I don't have the web gallery options in photoshop anymore since they were moved to Lightroom, if I have to lightroom anyway to make web galleries, I might as well stay there.
I hope the Aperture team can take a look at this one area. Otherwise, i am extremely happy with the performance of Aperture 3

Another plug for Photoshelter from me!
We are running 4 separate accounts, yes 4! Our clients loved the experience and workflow so much that 2 of them now have their own dedicated site that we manage for them, all of their imagery is located in the one place, makes life very easy for them. We have one account that is our studios, ie for everyone one else and my own basic account, mainly for sharing pics from my children's sporting teams.

As for a gallery/lightbox with that many images, no way! I would suggest breaking the shoot up in to time of the day, location, subject, product type, portrait vs group, anything to make it more manageable for the client. Some of your keywording and descriptors would help with this process.

Adding images to LR Created Web Galleries

Quick question - When you want to add photos to your online web galleries that were created in Lightroom, do you re-create the whole gallery with the new photos and then replace the folder with your hosting service or can you just add photos?
Thanks!

Has anyone built an image gallery in Lightroom and had a problem with the rollover image working in IE6? When I roll over the image it does not show the highlighted box like it should. When I view it in IE7 or on my Mac it works fine.
Any ideas on what I need to fix?
Thanks for your help.

Ampersand in Title/Caption for Web Galleries

You probably all know this already, but I didn't...
I've been getting to grips with the
Sean's tip for formatting captions in web galleries, including
Matthew's Slimbox gallery. As you'll see in the thread linked above, I had some trouble initially using it with Slimbox, but I thought I'd got to grips with it until...
A title for one of my pictures was "Beer & Blues". By that I mean the Title field in the Library module, as distinct from the Title field in the Web Module.
In Flash galleries it works just fine.
In the LR HTML (and Slimbox) galleries using an & in the image title metadata field can cause a variety of symptoms including:
- just displaying a blank background and never getting round to rendering the gallery when Web module is selected
- replacing "Custom Settings" next to the Title/Caption radio buttons in the Web module with "Edit...", consuming 100% CPU, displaying the rainbow spinning beach ball of death, and taking several minutes to return
- apparently working but obstinately refusing to acknowledge any edits made
There appears to be some interaction between this behaviour and using the <ag:formatted> technique, but I'm struggling to pin it down.
All of these symptoms disappear by using either "and" or "&" in place of "&".

Sean,
I'm sure you're right and that's what's happening. I have no excuse for not realising although I did track it down by a process of elimination.
Anyway I know

Video about Web Galleries on TV

Perhaps some of you have already seen this, but Apple recently put up a new video about .Mac Web Galleries on TV. Click on this image:
...and then look for this:
...once it has downloaded, you may have to click the Play button or the above button again to actually view the video.
Assuming Apple's server speeds are up to the job, this effectively means personal worldwide digital TV broadcasting without the hassles of a podcast feed.

Missing images in web gallery- strange lines??

When I make a web gallery and publish to .mac a couple of images appear to be missing or are cropped.. its really odd.. everything looks fine in the preview. Also I sometimes get these really strange thin lines through my images.. I usually dont notice them until I get my prints done.. Has either of these happened to anyone? Thanks.

nikinoo --
In the past I've experienced the same problem with some web galleries. The problem went away after I quit Aperture & then opened it up again. I then went and republished the problem gallery without a hitch.
I too have experienced lines running through my images, but it's been quite some time -- The upgrades that Apple has released appear to have corrected the problems. It might be helpful for you to list what printing settings you are using, there are tons of people here who should be able to help.

Web Galleries on Photo pages?

I think I already know the answer is no, but... I much prefer the .Mac Web Gallery and it's options to the older photos page you create from iPhoto. I have converted a couple of albums to Web Galleries.
My questions is regarding putting those on a Photos page. I only seem to be able to put a Web Gallery on a blank page. Dropping it onto one of the default album spaces that pop up on a Photos page (where you drag in from iPhoto), of course, does nothing. My main reason is that I would like to consolidate Web Galleries on an Albums page - I really like the look of the albums themselves and it's a nice gateway. I have been able to make a rectangle, change it to a picture frame, resize it and use that, but it's not the organization I prefer, and, again, I'd like to have the gateway in those nice albums. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm searching the forum for a solution to this too; web galleries look cheap next to the albums, and there's no reason for it. Short of changing all of my albums to galleries, here's my temporary solution, but it's a half-measure:
1) Drop a square on top of your .Mac Web Gallery widget that's just a bit larger than the widget.
2) Select the square, and in the Inspector, go to the Graphic Inspector, and under Stroke, select Picture Frame.
3) Select the frame that matches your album's format, then resize the square until it's just about the size of the widget, or provides the desired border width around the widget.
4) Move the square backward, behind the widget.
5) If desired, add a dummy album name beneath the gallery for visual continuity.
See my example here: http://www.vehphoto.com/sandrift/Photos/Photos.html
This worked for me because I'm using a white background and white frames; your mileage may vary depending on what theme and picture frames you're using. (I can't recall if I enabled additional frames in the Inspector as described in the Keynote forums - if a matching frame appears to be missing in the Inspector, let me know and I'll double-check this.)
Still, it's a sub-optimal solution, because 1) the widget cannot be resized 2) the widget still contains the gallery name, and 3) widgets cannot be rearranged the way albums can - they probably have to be segregated from albums.
I'll be posting feedback on this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
