Changing photos to B&W

Hi, is there anyway to change a group of photos (e.g. 100) to B&W in one go? The only way I have been able to do this in iphoto so far is go edit -> effects -> B&W for each photo individually. Any ideas?
thanks,
Anna

No - iPhoto does not have a batch edit capability
Photoshop I believe does and Graphic Converter - http://www.lemkesoft.com/ - I think does

If you use Threshold, you can add some gaussian blur to the image to make the edges smoother. You can also add a brightness/contrast adjustment layer between the blurred image and the threshold layer to fine tune the edges.
If you have Windows, you might want to look at Medhi's Fine Threshold filter (freeware) found here:
http://www.mehdiplugins.com/english/finethreshold.htm
Edit: You could also use Find Edges on the image first; desaturate it; then use a threshold adjustment layer. Go back to the Find Edges layer and add gaussian blur to taste. To further fine tune, slip a brightness/contrast layer between the blurred image and the threshold to control line thickness/detail. (FWIW, I would make a copy of the Find Edges layer and blur the duplicate so if you change your mind you don't have to start the project from scratch.)

Cannot Create Albums: Clicking on Photo in New Album Changes Photo

This is really strange.
When I import photos from a USB device the import seems to work O.K but if I create a new album when I click on any of the photos in the album, the photo is changed to a different photo from my library. This occurs even if I create an album of old photos. iPhoto seems to randomly change photos into other photos when I click on them.
Any ideas?

Sounds like minor database corruption.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Change photos from PDF format to Jpeg

how do I change photos from PDF format to Jpeg?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Open the existing pdf file with Preview.
In preview, select File, Save As, and click on the Format window to change PDF to JPEG.
Then click the Save button.
Quality may suffer in the translation from one format to another.
In a quick test, changing Quality to 'Best' and Resolution to 300 dpi, the text in my sample page was crisp, but the original photo area was very pixelated.
The original image in the pdf file was also pixelated when viewed at 100%
A portion of the test image and text at shown at 100%. (Click on the image to view full size):

Batch change photo dates in Photos for 10.10.3?

If anyone has access to the 10.10.3 beta or has managed to use Photos at all, does it still allow you to batch change photo dates like iPhoto used to? Thanks!

Interesting. I would have thought that the moratorium lifted on press releases and reviews of Photos by a number of tech websites would have applied here as well. I had a little look at the Terms of Use on this website and didn't see any prohibitions on speaking about upcoming products, but perhaps I've missed something. Are those participating in the Developer Preview disallowed from speaking about Photos if major press outlets are not?
Apple does not and cannot control major press outlets.
However, they do control their own products and beta releases are subject to an NDA.

Try the fix for yourself. It's harmless. Just follow TD's directions explicitly.

TS1702 Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and iPhoto and now cannot change photos on my iPad, can anyone help please?

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and iPhoto and now cannot change photos on my iPad, can anyone help please?

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart Your Computer
> Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
> Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.

Is there a way of changing photos' dates all at once?

Hi,
I imported a number of photos taken within one week into iPhoto - some of them were assigned a wrong date by my camera which made the last photos the first ones in the folder.
I know I can change the photos' dates manually one by one, but is there any workaround to select multiple photos and change their dates simultaniously? I couldn't find any automator action...anybody who knows a hint?
Thanks

Hi Terence,
thanks for the reply. It does work. Could have figured it out myself, I guess...but I always marked the photos and then tried to change their dates in this little information box in the lower left corner (which doesn't work).
Best regards

Can I create a PDF form with a field for adding/changing Photos?

Does anyone have a solution to the following problem?
I would like to be able to make a PDF form that others in the office can use to fill in a particular inventory and model number. (Fields, Easy)
Then have a field where they can replace the PHOTO of the item referred to by the inventory and model number.
Is this possible using Acrobat professional? Can the document then be saved as, or exported somehow from there?
I know this is probabably easy to do in Word, but can a photo be changed on a PDF and saved as?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

It will make it possible for them to select a new photo. Will you ever want to extract the photo from the form to be used elsewhere?
In order to set this up in Acrobat, you can create a button to display the image, set its layout to something other than "Label only", and add the following JavaScript to the Mouse Up action:
// Prompt user to select an image
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
For the PC users, Acrobat Standard is sufficient for this.

Changed Photo file names won't update

Hi, I am having a problem that I need help with. In my iWeb photo gallery page I have some photos that had filenames that were too long (for my server) and I had to change. I shortened them in iPhoto and replaced them in the iWeb gallery page. (I quit and restatrted programs appropriately). Still when I republish the page, the OLD photo filenales are showing in the photo gallery folder!! I have redone this proceedure 4 times now and am at wits end!!

WOW! What a pain! I changed all the file names in the iPhoto Library and it still did not work. So I opened each of the photos using JVeiw and saved them to the Desktop. The replaced the filed in iPhoto with the new ones. Then replaced the files in iWeb. finally, it worked. I was able to publish to folder. Now when I upload to my server, I get the message about other file names being too long. The files are in the 'comments' folder of the published folder. Mine are B80F49F8-5F59-4C79-B827-1DC21D1729BE_files.
I can not upload these to my old Appleshare IP 9.2 server.

Photoshop Album 2.0 - Can I change Photo shooting dates

My friend gave me Photoshop Album 2.0 to help her keep track of her pictures. Problem is, she didnt set her camera to the right date, so some of the pictures have a "shoot" date that is not correct. For example, the camera may have imprinted June 1, but we know because of the content of the picture that it actually was August 21. So, can I manually correct these dates for her?
Thanks for any help you can give me?
I know that I can get the new trial version, but she uses the calendar version that is on the old 2.0 and wants to stick with it.

You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.

Automatic refresh of photo order when changing photo titles in iPhoto 9.6

I've just moved from an older version of iPhoto to 9.6.
In the previous version, when you changed the title of a photo (within an event), the sort order of the photos was automatically and immediately updated. In 9.6 it isn't - I have to do View - Sort Photos then select another sort criteria (e.g. date), then do this again for title, to get the photo order to refresh.
Does anyone know if I am I stuck with this new (retrograde) behaviour, or if there's a way to get iPhoto 9.6 to automatically refresh the photo order?
Otherwise, is there a keyboard shortcut for refreshing the photo order, or for changing the view - sort photos criteria?
Thanks in advance for any help!

It will resort if you leave the Event (click All Events button) and then go back. Not a good solution but quicker IMO than using the View ➙ Sort menu method.

Cannot Change Photo Caption in Lightroom 2.3

I am not able to get Lightroom 2.3 to change the caption of photos taken with a Sony A100. The caption reads "Sony DSC." All of my efforts to change this caption to something else have failed, including use of the "Save Metadata to File" command. While the program initially reflects a change or deletion in the caption at first, when I navigate away from the photo and then return, it always reverts to "Sony DSC." If someone can suggest a different approach or a workaround it would be much appreciated. Note that this does not seem to be a problem with Photoshop Elements 6. I have not yet tried to see if I can make this change in Bridge yet. Thanks.

I have given up trying to find a solution in LR. It stubbornly overwrites "Sony DSC" on every photo I import and wipes out all changes I try to make in the caption field. I have not found a direct fix in LR, causing me nothing but frustration. But I have found a workaround which sounds complicated but is really quite simple. The key is to import via the import utility in PS Bridge rather than with the LR import dialogue. You wipe out the description field which contains "Sony DSC" in Bridge. Then you synchronize the folder in LR. Problem solved. Here are the steps for Windows users.
Step 1: Create a Custom Template in Bridge. (a) Go to Tools - Create Metadata Template; (b) In the "Create Metadata Template" dialogue box: (1) under the "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" tab, place a check in the box next to "Description" and leave the field to the right blank (make sure no other boxes are checked); (2) under the "IPTC Core" tab, place a check in the box next to "Description" and leave the field to the right blank; (c) In the "Template Name" field replace "Untitled" with "Clear Sony DSC" (or whatever you want to call your template).
Step 2: Import your photos with the import tool in Bridge (the key is not to import with LR).
Step 3: (a) navigate to the newly imported file of images; (b) in Metadata view click on the top image in the folder and shift click on the last image in the folder to select all; (c) right click on one of the selected images and click on "File info . . .; (d) In the dialogue box that appears, click on the down arrow next to the "Import" button; (e) one of the options should be "Clear Sony DSC" (or whatever you named your template), click on that: (f) an "Import Options" dialogue box will appear, with three choices. Choose the first of the three "Clear existing properties and replace with template properties." (Note this will only overwrite "Sony DSC" in the description fields of the metadata and leave those fields blank and will not overwrite any other metadata.); (g) That will return you to the File Information dialogue box. Click the "OK" button at the bottom. Bridge will now take some time overwriting the description fields in the metadata attached to your images.
Step 4: Go to LR. In the Develop module navigate to the folder in which this new folder of images was placed by Bridge. In the top menu go to Library - Synchronize Folders. Lightroom will now capture this folder of images in your LR catalogue and the attached metadata but thankfully not the troublesome "Sony DSC", so you should be free to edit the caption field in LR. Do not use "Import Photos from Disk at this seems to recreate the problem and results in duplicate images.
Let me know if this works for you.

How to change photo into a pastel illustration in PSE 11

Hi from a newbie. I am trying to find a nice effect which will create pastel illustrations from my photos. I think it is done in PS by turning the photo into black and white first then using Oil Paint filter to work towards the soft effect I am after. I can't find a way to get this effect in my PSE 11, does anyone have any ideas to help. Many thanks.

Try this:
Open picture file
CTRL+J to copy
CTRL+SHIFT+U to remove color
CTRL+J to copy b/w layer, then CTR+I to invert
Change Blending mode of inverted layer to color dodge
Go to Filter>Other>Minimum ---4px
Go back to original layer with color, CTRL+J to copy
Drag that layer to the top of the stack of layers in the layers palette, and reduce layer opacity
Merge the top 3 layers so you're left with 2 layers
CTRL+J to copy the top layer
Go to Filter>Artistic Poster Edges. Play with the sliders and reduce the layer opacity to suit

Changing photo length in iMovie '08

I'm trying to make a presentation with photos set to music. I want one photo to play the entire length of one song, but whenever they only last four seconds. Whenever i try ot change the length it goes to 1 second. How do i make the photo last an entire song length

I would suggest you go to iMovie/Preferences and see how your preference is set for Time.
You can do hh:mm:ss:frames (which gives you most control. You can edit to the frame level)
Or you can select hh:mm:ss:tenths. A tenth of a second is about 3 frames so you have less control.
Once you know how you have it set, if you want to do five minutes for your photo, you would use 5:00:00 if you are using frames. You would use 5:00.0 if you are using tenths.
Note: There are 30 frames per second in the US. In Europe or a country that uses PAL, there are 25 frames per second.
