Changing Virtual Copy Names in Web Gallery

I have been creating web galleries in LR for clients for purposes of online editing. This hasn't been a problem until today when I was creating multiple copies of images using Virtual Copy. I realized when I create a web gallery the images with multiple versions all have the same name in the gallery. So there might be 3 versions of one image (a color, a BW, a sepia tone for example) with the same name.
I.e., if I have an image called "001.cr2" that is full frame and then I create a virtual copy that is cropped, in the web gallery they are both called "001.CR2" instead of "001_01.CR2", or some such thing.
I need some way for my client to differentiate btwn the two files during their online editing. Is there a way to do this without exporting the files and then re-importing to create the gallery?
Thanks in advance.

When you create the virtual copies specify unique copy names for them in the metadata, e.g., "bw", "sepia", etc.
Then in the Web module in the Image Info panel, edit the title and/or caption fields to include the copy name as part of the filename or caption. Each image in the web gallery will then have a unique name tag to reference. If you don't want to use copy names (why not, they sure are useful for other things as well), Image # would also work.

Virtual Copy Name/workflow issue

Hi
I offer my wedding clients 3 or 4 versions of an image. I rename all my images before export to jpg start 1. However virtual copies are exported with the same file name but just a version e.g. rob 10-3.jpg (which is obviously the 3rd virtual copy of rob 10.jpg).
The problem is that when the client comes back to me with a FINAL list of photos for their album, and tell me Rob 10-3.jpg, I'm nots sure which virtual copy it was.
SO - is there away to rename all files as a batch including virtual copies so they get their own unique file name?
If this is an easy question and I'm missing the obvious I apologise in advance!
cheers
Rob

You could try changing the copy name to "bw" or "sepia" or "crop" etc. Then in the Export dialog set up the filename to something like <VC><filename>.
So select the VC's in the grid, reveal the Metadata panel and look for copy name. You can then select all the b&w's, and enter bw in that field.

Virtual Copy Name

Is there a way I can rename the "Copy Name" of multiple virtual copies at once? Whenever I have multiple photos selected, it appears that changing the copy name only affects the most selected photo.

Rename the VC in the Copy Name field in right side panel as demonstrated in attached screenshot

Issue Updating Photo Names in Web Gallery

There is a sync issue with Web Galleries when the photo name is updated in iPhoto while another update is occurring simultaneously. The changes made in iPhoto are lost.
The 7.0.2 Update does not fix this issue.
It seems there should be the option to "update now" and make the web gallery look just like the iPhoto version.
Anyone else have this issue?

pschlampp:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The syncing works correctly for me. Try clearing out the iPhoto Cache folders that are in your User/Library/Caches folder and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist that's in the User/Library/Preferences folder. See if that will let you update titles as intended.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

No photo names in Web Gallery

I just uploaded a web gallery (password protected) and after going to the trouble of putting names on all the photos in iPhoto (prior to the upload) was disappointed to see none in my corresponding web gallery.
What gives?

Click on the Setting button in the toolbar for your gallery and make sure you have the option to include titles checked.
Hint: You can put the description of the photos in the description field in the Info pane at the bottom of the source window and then use this script to batch copy them to the Name field before publishing the gallery. Then when you want to revert back to the original file name just use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name.

Changing default jpeg compression for Web Gallery files

I have created several web galleries from both Raw and Jpeg files with Iphoto '08 that suffer from serious jpeg compression artifacts. I haven't found any way to change the compression amount to reduce the artifacts. Is there actually a way?

papasteveo:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is no way in iPhoto for the user to manage the jpg compression of the web gallery photos. If the option for visitors to download the photos is selected the copy that's uploaded is compressed approximately equivalent to an Photoshop quality setting of 8 or 9 out of 12. The pixel dimensions are the same as the original unless the max dimension in the original exceeds 3054. The the file is resized to 3054 max dimension.
If the gallery is just for viewing the image is resized to 800 x 600 with additional compression.
You could manually replace the file with one that you've prepared but it would be very tedious as each file has it's own folder and the file name is changed to web.jpg (viewing only) or large.jpg (download). You would have to rename each file to be uploaded to the new name and make sure it's placed in the correct folder.

Change background in Adobe Bridge Web Gallery

Hi,
I am trying to use a web gallery created with adobe bridge in my webpage. I have inserted gallery in an <iframe>. The gallery shows up just fine. I would like to have the background of the webpage show up rather than the background of the web gallery. How can I do this? Also, I would like to change the appearance of the captions under the pictures. Also the gallery shifts left in interbet explorer. Can this be fixed?

Try opening in Chrome or Firefox and inspecting the elements. You can turn easily locate the CSS that's driving the background and experiment with settings. You get there by right clicking on an element and select Inspect Element from the options. It's much easier than trying to go through all of that HTML code without a style sheet to go along with it.

Using captions (or, hiding file names) for Web Gallery with Aperture 2.0

Is there a way to add captions to pictures displayed using the Aperture 2.0 web gallery without changing the actual file name? I'd like to keep the file name but add a caption to each photo if possible.
Thanks

Hi John
I'm not making extra versions for this, just using the version name as the name in the web gallery. If you are not already using the version name then it lends itself to web gallery naming nicely. If you are using version names already, perhaps reconsider how necessary this is to you as you are tying up this other potential use.
My file names all contain a date and index number but I try and use more 'user friendly' version names if part of my final output will be for web galleries. This is good for clients as they don't have complicated names to order, but it's also a cinch to find the files using the search bar in Aperture.
Hope this helps

File name font (web gallery output)

I am using CS4 with adobe bridge. I have created some web galleries and have selected the option to show the file name. This shows up just below the picture in the gallery. The problem is the font is too light to show up against my chosen background font. I am wondering how to change the font color of this file name for the output web gallery. If anyone knows how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks!

Hi,
You can change the font colour in the Output Panel, under Color Palette (the order it appears and the options it shows depends on the template you are using). Simply double click the colour swatch sqaure to open up the colour picker and choose a new colour.
See attached screenshot if you are unsure where to look..
Regards..

Can you change the album order in Web Gallery?

I can't seem to change the order of albums i publish to the web gallery. The gallery presents the albums in the order you upload it.
Any suggestions besides uploading my oldest albums first?

Just found the answer to this here. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306164 Apparently the order is not (at this time) flexible once the albums are uploaded. And what's more, the predetermined order is not exactly intuitive. Shouldn't the most recently uploaded album go at the end of the list so things are more chronological? Maybe this will get a fix in a maintenance update.

XSL, XML, and Metadata Names in Web Gallery Templates

I don't know exactly how to ask the question, but what I want to do is customize the information that appears below a full-size image in an HTML web gallery. For the existing HTML gallery templates, this is the area where "caption" data is placed. You can display just about anything you want there, but you are essentially limited to a single line with no ability to format spacing. I would like to be able to show mutiple lines and format the way I want, which would be pretty easy in HTML.
I have created a custom web gallery, and I have learned where in the transformer.xslt file the caption information is placed. However, I do not know what the metadata field names are, or more importantly how to place them in HTML. Does anyone here know enough about XSL to give me hand? Any kind of direction would be greatly appreciated.

Try John Nack's blog
there was some initial info there.
Also Sean McCormack has done a lot of work on hacking the templates

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

Change the fonts in Web Gallery/Journal?

Is it possible to change the font in a web gallery or web journal and if so, how?
I cannot find anything in the documentation, but find it unbelievable that this would not be possible in Aperture.
Sol

no, i cant figure out search either ...
what you need to edit is under ...
/Applications/Aperture/Contents/Resources/WebThemes/ (right click on Aperture - Show Package Contents)
pick the theme you want to edit ... choose the language then under assets is the css folder ...
i believe that the global.css holds the text family ...
if you arent familiar with css google "w3c schools css" ...
you will want to edit the font-familty attribute with whatever font you want ...
i recommend doing this to a copy of the webthem folder ... and rename it something ...

Can we change "copy name" in Develop module?

Is there a way to change the "copy name" of an image (a virtual copy) in the Develop module?
Usually, I press ctrl-' to make a virtual copy to change the crop ratio (say to 5x7). I would like to be able to change the "copy name" of that image to "5x7" or something else so I know the purpose of that virtual copy. Can this be done in the Develop module when I press ctrl-'? Right now, I am going back to Library and then opening the Metadata panel to edit the "copy name", which becomes a task with too many steps.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

The only way I can think of is a modification to the TranslatedStrings.txt file with a new template name for virtual copies. This will be valid for ALL virtual copies you create.
In order to give you instructions on how to do this, I'd need to know the O/S you're using and the language you're running LR in.

IWeb Link to Web gallery

Hi everyone, my question is, is there a way to create a web gallery link in the link header of iWeb? I find this confusing that web gallery and iWeb don't have an option to link up. The gallery in iWeb is good, but don't have the same features that web gallery does. Since it is all hosted in the same place, it should be easy. I have HTML links in my blog now for it, but it isn't global. I have to insert an HTML link in each post. Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Jim

well i suppose the way it's meant to be done is to make a new blank page (calling it web gallery or whatever), press web widget and put in your web gallery albums one by one. each album has a little mini slideshow going on (and skims) and clicking on that takes you to the web gallery album proper. the problem (as far as i'm concerned) is that by making the web widgets you are making your own web gallery index page which is not as nice as the actual web gallery index page which you are bypassing.
or you could make a blank page (again calling it web gallery or whatever), leave it blank, publish it, and then edit the code so that it diverts straight to your web gallery index page. i don't know how to write code so i just copied the code on the index page and changed the destination to the web gallery address rather than the welcome page. this seems to work well. and if you know what you're doing i suppose to could also get the web gallery to open in another browser window.
or you could make a blank page (again calling it web gallery or whatever), and insert an html widget with code to divert to the web gallery. the difficulty with this is then when someone clicks on web gallery (or whatever you have called it) in the navigation menu, you then see the blank page for a fraction of a second.
anyway, i don't really know what i'm doing....i'm just trying stuff out!
