Can't Show Over 500 Photos In Photoshop Ele.2 Browser

Hello Folks,
I have posted this problem on most of the Apple forums with no luck - and, yes, it has also been put on the Adobe Photoshop Forum.
So you are probably my last hope!
I use Photoshop Elements 2 on my eMac.
It displays albums/folders of photos up to around 500 OK.
However, if I have a folder of around 600 or more and I scroll down to see the last ones, I come across impenetrable black covering the last 100 or so pictures.
I increased my RAM from 256MB to 768MB but it didn't seem to make much difference.
Is this limit caused by Photoshop itself or is the problem with my computer. It doesn't happen with iPhoto!
I had better explain why I need such large folders.
I sometimes work with projects containing up to 1000 photos.
Usually I split them into folders of 100 which are easy to handle.
However, I often find I need to take a quick overview of the full 1000 - that's why I need them altogether.
iPhoto is fantastic for that. One can have thousands of photos and scroll through them in seconds if necessary. Unfortunately iPhoto's image editing facilities are very rudimentary compared with PSE2.
So if anyone has experienced this problem and found a solution I would very much like to know.
Ian.

Thanks Ron and Elizabeth.
Actually I can get more images on if I set them to Medium instead of Large.
The actual cut-off with large thumbnails is around 550 so I don't think it is deliberately built in.
As for using iPhoto for browsing that's what I'll have to do though it is irritating to have to use 2 programs when one should really be enough.
Ian.

I can't superimpose over a photo or video.... Please HELP!!!

I am about an hour into an underwater film I am working on. All of a sudden when I go to superimpose text over a photo or video clip it kicks my existing overlays up and wants to put the overlay on it's own layer..... but there isn't anything there. It doesn't show the text but put another working layer onto my timeline. I must have hit a combination of keys or something. I've never had this happen before. I am dead in the water right now and can not continue. Any help would be REALLY appreciated.

Which version of FCP are you using?
it adds another layer in my timeline...
This is supposed to happen. Could it be that you have V1 selected as the active track and already have superimposed other tracks on V2?
Change the active track to V2 or higher so that the text goes above your other supers.
Example. The following setting will send your super to video track 2:
Moving the active track patching button higher will send the super (in this case) to V3:

Can't see/access iphoto photos from Photoshop....

Thanks to those who responded to my last thread..... I am going to try those suggestions. Interestingly, when I took the imac to the genius bar, they threw their hands up and said it couldn't be done ......
meanwhile, I have the same issue trying to open iphoto photos from other apps, like Facebook, Snapfish, etc when trying to upload photos... will the same advice from before also work for this?
Thanks very much,

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!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
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.

Can't drag and drop photos into Photoshop CS6

I'm having this problem since the last time I formatted my computer, and it is really annoying.
Basically, when I try to drag an image into photoshop, the cursors changes into a circle with a slash in it (unavailable).
I can open files by right clicking and choosing "Open with -> Adobe Photoshop CS6", and I can also open with "File > Open..." (ctrl+O)
I've searched for a soltion for this and nothing worked.
This is what I've tried doing so far:
- Resetting the preferences (ctrl+alt+shift)
- Running with administative rights
- Running without administrative rights
- Making sure I have premissions for the files
- Making sure the files are not set as read-only
- Changing the scratch disk option (Preference -> Performance)
None of these worked, and I'm looking for another solution...
Here are my PC specs:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. G31M-ES2L
Graphic Card: 1024MB GeForce GT 240 (nVidia)

Here is a quote from a past post with same issue. Thread had no answer the solved problem, but most agreed it was a permission problem.

Sounds like a corrupt registry issue -- the file extensions are not correctly associated with Photoshop.
The default install adds all the registry entries, so something has gone wrong since then with the registry entries for Photoshop 64 bit.
Have you used any "system optimizer" programs, or registry cleaners?

Can a way over-processed photo be repaired?

Hi,
I am currently using PSE8, and I have a color photo that has been 'adjusted' more times than I can count in the .JPEG format. I believe it was taken with an old NIKON 3 megapixel camera so there wasn't much color substance to start with. Long before I knew anything about layers and saving the original, I literally beat the daylights out of this photo and now it has more speckles in the color than the 'great speckled bird'. Unfortunately the original is gone forever and I was just wondering what if anything can be done to resurrect this photo. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Barbara,
I just scoured through some old back-up CDs and I found a copy of the photo in question that I didn't know existed....whew! http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b207/ultra_classic/JacksRide.jpg This one doesn't appear to be too bad except for the sky that I did without really knowing how using PSE4. I do have a copy of the "Missing Manual" for PSE6 (I really didn't care much for PSE6) which has been most helpful. If I do any more with this photo it will be layer after layer for sure. Thanks for looking and I would appreciate any advice you could offer on how I could make this photo better.
Best regards,

Creating a slideshow with 500+ photos

I am trying to create a slideshow that will run continuously with over 500 photos and burn it to a DVD. Is there any way to do this in iDVD? I want to be able to use the titles of the photos also. I tried doing it in iMovie, but when I added a title to the photo, it did not keep the title on the photo for the entire time. It split the photo into 2 parts, with the title and without.

I put all of the photos into iMovie, added a title to each photo using the "Music Video" title and it split the photo. I tried to edit it and make it last the lenght of the clip and everything got completely messed up. Only parts of the title would show up on some, a photo would just flash in-between regular photos, and many other errors.
Is there any way for me to do the same in iDVD? I know it limits the number of photos to 99 per slideshow, but can I make them run continuously?
Thank you,
Julie

After downloading the update I can't get the new photos app to appear in my photo browser when trying to add a photo in excel.

If Preview and Mail’s media browser don’t work, Gary, can you export all the pictures from the new iPhoto package back to folders and use an earlier copy of iPhoto such as 8.1.2?
I have both versions on my system so it may be the Mail and Preview media browsers are not accessing the new iPhoto package. I thought they were the new version but maybe not; I see a single iPhoto Library icon and when I control-click on it it offers to show the package contents...

Check the Recently Deleted album. Deleted photos will reside there for up to 30 days. This allows all those people who accidently delete photos to recover them, something they couldn't do before. To actually free up the space you might have to delete the photos in the Recently Deleted album.

Iphoto: How to safely delete or move photos. I have over 7000 photos. When I deleted some, I found that the event still shows up with a blank frame. Can I move some photos to an external hard drive but leave the pointer in iphoto?

iphoto: How to safely delete or move photos. I have over 7000 photos. I would really like to move tsome of the older photos to an external hard drive. (They are backed up in Time Machine, but I like the immediacy of having them available.) So question 1 - is it possible to split the iphoto library so that the directory tree points to an external drive in some cases? And if that doesn't work--I am willing to export and delete some of these photos. However, an earlier delete left me with events that have a name in the event folder, but no photos. Question 2 -- How do I properly delete photos so that all references disappear?
example:

Warning: Time Machine is not an Archiving application. It keeps rolling back ups. That means if you delete something from the source Mac it will eventually be also deleted from Time Machine. How long that takes depends on the amount of disk space TM has. So, remember, backing up in Time Machine is not the same as Archiving.
For the blank thumbnails: This can happen if you try delete too many photos at one go. Experienced users suggest you should delete in batches of 100 or so.
Yes you can split the Library, where some of the Masters are stored locally and some on an external disk, but really, you don't want to do that. iPhoto's file management tools are limited at best, and if the path to the files changes then you could find yourself repairing the links to the files - all of them, one by one.
Better: Have your entire Library on an External Drive.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library 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 want to have a smaller library on your internal disk:
Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

IPhoto library still 20GB in size, but only shows 500 photos in iPhoto

HELP!
My iPhoto library (which is placed on an external HDD) is about 20GB in size. Unfortunately, everytime I open iPhoto now it has forgotten about 9,500 photos. I know that they are still there due to the size of the file, but iPhoto will not read all of them. If I create a new library and import the old one in to the program all photos are recovered but I lose all of my albums both on the computer and online. Any suggestions?!!?

John:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It sounds like there was an interruption of some sort, maybe between the external HD and the computer, when accessing the library and the library's database file, Library6.iPhoto, has been damaged.
You can try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't resurrect the library you may have to start over with a new library and import just the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
To recover from similar problems in the future see the tip at the end of my signature below.
Happy Holidays
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.

What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically? I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type. With over 500 movies purchased this is a huge pain.

What happened to the option to see all your purchased movies alphabetically? I can only see recent purchases and then I have to look by movie type. With over 500 movies purchased, this is a huge pain. For instance the movie Airport 77 is classified as Drama not action? But it is action? I have to look at both types to find the film. I will stop buying films via AppleTV if this is the way it is going to stay. I am not searching for films in this crazy manner.

Same issue here. Might have to do with size of library. I too have over 300 purchased movies. "ALL PURCHASED" folder disappeared yesterday on all my AppleTV's. My son only has 20+ purchased movies and his still shows "ALL" folder. However, I had him log in under my account and "ALL" folder is missing??? I hope Apple gets this resolved quickly. I too do not want to flip through various Genres looking for movies.
