Choose key photo for album

Dear Common Wisdom:
I have created a web site of photo galleries with an index page at http://www.byzantineaegina.org
How can I choose a key photo to represent each gallery on the first page?
Thanks!
CJ

you can set key image for albums page, as long as the image is one of the first of 50 images in the album (aka photos page) and you need to know how iweb widgets work.
have a look: http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/revolving/keyImageAlbums/keyImageAlbums.html
notice the displayed image is the 4th image in the album, not the first image.

  • Setting key photo for iWeb photo album

    This one's confusing me a little. I'm trying to select a key photo for my album in iWeb, but it keeps defaulting to the first photo in the album. I would've thought it would be similar to selecting a key photo for an event in iPhoto (i.e. just scrolling to the desired photo and hitting the space bar), but no go. Just wondering if anybody has figured out how to do it. Thanks

    I think the iWeb programmers thought we would be excited enough by the mouse over feature of the albums.
    You could send them feedback suggesting this feature for a future update as others have asked the same question.

  • Select key photo for iOS albums synced with iPhoto on Mac

    In iOS 7, if a user was syncing photos from iPhoto on a Mac to an iOS device, it was possible to choose what key photo would be displayed for each synced album in the Photos app on the iOS device.  In iOS 8, this seems to have been removed, and when syncing, a random photo is now selected for each album instead, which doesn't seem possible to change.
    Has anyone been able to find a solution/workaround to this?
    I'm guessing/hoping control will be restored to the user when the new Photos app is released for Mac OS X Yosemite, but any feedback will be useful.
    Thank you.

    Same issue. Ever since upgrading to iPhoto on my retina MBP to 9.4.2. Problem seen with BOTH my iPhone 5 on iOS 6.0.1 AND iPhone 4S on 5.1.1, so not an iOS issue. For me, it impacts both albums and events. In fact, sometimes you can't even see the event under iTunes->device->photo tab, until you exit iPhoto & iTunes and restart both with phone plugged in. There is a workaround for the album's mis-order: by manually sorting photos through dragging a photo to a new location within the album and then placing it back. However, this doesn't work for mis-ordered photos under events.  Right now, I just have to live with it....  I have even tried removing all photos, deleting iPod photo cache, and starting anew. Even 1 event with 30 photos have the same problem.....
    Really annoying as I like to see my event photos sorted by date.
    Somehow, such syncing problems always seem to occur EVERYTIME there's an iPhoto upgrade. Are apple's departments so siloed? Do they not work with one another to test a software before releasing it?
    Apple, please investigate and fix the issue ASAP!

  • How can I more easily set the Key Photo for a face?

    I know I can scrub across the face on the cork board to select, but this is completely unusable if you have more than 20 or 30 photos. By way of example: I have 1,700 photos of a person going back more than ten years. I want to choose a recent photo as the key. The order of the photos when you scrub is totally different than the order when you open the face. I can't right click -> set key photo or Photos -> Set Key Photo when I'm looking at the individual photos of that person.
    Is scrub-and-select really the only way to do this? I know iPhoto lets you right-click -> set key photo after opening a specific face.

    I'm replying only in case no-one else does.  To the best of my knowledge, as you have found, the only way to select the face shown on the corkboard in Faces view is via the "skim-and-spacebar" method.
    (Well, there is a second identical way: click the info button ("i") and skim-and-click.)
    There is no parallel in Faces to the "Set key photo" command available for Projects.
    Fwiw, the User Manual refers to the Faces key photo as the "Snapshot".
    Feedback might be worthwhile:  "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".

  • Key Photo in Albums

    Anyone figure out how to set the key photo when using Albums in iWeb? It appears to be very similar to the iPhoto web gallery, however I can not seem to figure out how to do it.

    The first photo in the photo gallery is the key photo.
    For the person that had the freeze up scrolling: you can turn of the effects and just have one photo show up as the album thumbnail.
    I spent about 5 hours working in iWeb '08 replacing my home grown "album" type pages with Apple's new version. I have need for 8 album pages which theh have 6 to 8 photogalleries linked to them. I was in the process of moving the photos I wanted to be the key photo into the first slot when I saved out the file. The next day when I opened my file all of the album pages showed the thumbnails for a second or so and then they turn black. Some of the photos pages and blog pages are missing their photos as well. I am not happy. Fortunately I do have a back up Domain and a copy of iWeb '06 on another machine. But I don't appreciate working away for 5 hours, saving and then having nothing to show for it.

  • How to change key photo in album ios8

    IIn photos on my iPhone 6 the key photo has changed from the first photo to a random photo. Does anyone know how to fix this
    thx

    select it and right-click and set as key photo. (doesn't apply to built-in smart albums).

  • Setting 'key photo' for Faces?

    On an iPhoto event, you can select one photo and set it as a 'key photo'.
    Can the same be done with Faces? How?
    Dave

    in faces view skim across the person you want until you see the photo you want for a key photo and hit the space bar to set it (this works for events too)
    You really should take 2 1/2 minutes to watch the iPhoto tutorial - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#faces

  • Fixed order of photos for album w/o sorting

    When importing photos, PSE (by default) imports using a LIFO (Last In First Out) method - hence photos are in choronological order from last to first taken. If photos are from, say, a vacation, this is a problem since nobody wants to see their vacation photos in reverse order.
    This can be rectified by Sorting: Date (Oldest First).
    However, this sorts the entire Catalog.
    My question is: is there any way to use this Sort: Date (Oldest First) and then to assign a Fixed Order to the photos in the album so that I will not have to go through this each time I view the album.
    I realize that I can arrange the photos manually, however, in the example I am thinking of there are over 2k photos.
    Thanks,

    Tom,
    Since you used the term "Album" I suspect that you are using PS Elements version 6 or 7. (for future reference it is better to include the version number of PSE when you post because sometimes it makes a difference)
    I think that this will work for you, but I am not currently in a place where I can verfiy it: -
    After you have created the Album, Right click on the NAME of the Album in the pane on the right and there should be a choice for
    b Chronological Sequence
    in that menu.
    If your photos are all from the same camera, then that should give you the sequence you want. If your photos are from multiple cameras, then your results will be influenced by whether both cameras time stamps were the same (or very close). If you do have multiple cameras, you can use the Organizer Date/Time change adjustment commands to bring the times closer in sync.

  • Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event

    Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event - it is set to grey !
    Anyone else had this and found why ?
    new PHOTO app replacing iPhoto bugs/ Problems OTHER PROBLEMS :
    - no longer has a five star rating system
    - my keywords for selecting albums are gone.
    - cannot copy location of one photo to another
    - cannot have an album with  keywords AND rating > a value
    - cannot set key photo of album/event
    - multi parameter search feature gone
    Anyone got any ideas how to get around this terrible downgrade of the software ?
    BTW I have just discovered that iPhoto and its' libraries are still there, so I can go back but be left behind and frozen in time on this version if I do.
    Photos now take up 700Gb whereas it was 350Gb  #@!$#@!@#!@#
    Thanks

    That are all good points - but Photos is a completely new application. and it is only version 1.
    Continue to use iPhoto, girraween; the next update to Photos will probably add a few more features.
    iPhoto 9.6.1 is working very well with MacOS X 10.10.3.
    The migration let iPhoto installed and also your iPhoto Library will still work with iPhoto.
    If you did not uninstall iPhoto, it will still be there in your Applications folder.  And if you had updated to the latest version iPhoto 9.6.1 before you upgraded to MacOS X 10.10.3,  you can simply drag iPhoto back to the Dock from your Applications folder and continue to use it. Double click iPhoto and confirm, that you want to open iPhoto and not Photos.   It is not compulsory to use Photos, while it it still the first release. When you launch iPhoto, you will see a warning, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated to Photos, but simply click the "Open iPhoto" button.The library will still work with iPhoto. ()see: If Photos won't open a library that you already migrated - Apple Support
    If your iPhoto version is not iPhoto 9.6.1, you need to update it.
    See this User Tip:
    Usually it will work to reinstall instead of updating:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
    Meanwhile you may want to send a feature request to Apple using the feedback form. Apple - Photos - Feedback
    I hope, Apple will listen and add more features to Photos to make it usable for large Photo Libraries.

  • Key photo image in Album View too small

    I imported a small Aperture Library into Photos to test things out. One thing I notice is that in Album View, the key photo for a folder is very small.
    Here is an example:
    I have tried making another photo the Key Photo, and switching back. They are always small. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I don't consider this a feature request. In the default Photos library, the key photo in Album view fills the whole square. But for a library that was created from an Aperture library, the key photo does not fill the whole square.
    Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to make the key photo larger?

  • Iphoto - key photo won't set for an event on my iPad

    I have placed my photos into "Events".  I have assigned a "key photo" to my events.  For some reason some key photos will show up as the key photo in iPhoto but when I sync with iTunes the key photo isn't the one I assigned or want on my iPad.  First I rebooted my Mac and my iPad and I even changed almost all the key photos successfully but a select few refuse to change on my iPad after being synced. 
    The key photo for one of the events WAS NEVER set as a key photo. 
    Very frustrated with my Mac products lately. 
    Thank you,

    IOS 10.9.3

    One for the iPad forum, I think. iPhoto for Mac has no control over what happens on the iPad.

  • .Mac Web Gallery - How to change key photo and order or galleries?

    How can I choose which photo is the key photo for each .Mac web gallery? Also, how can I re-arrange the order of the web galleries?

    I would really love to see a solution for this too ! Unfortunately I think apple just didn't implement it in Aperture. My .Mac web gallery is about events in my life and it doesn't make any sense to have it sorted alphabetically...
    Not being able to simply set a key photo is really annoying too.
    The worst is that these two functions are available in iPhoto. All they had to do was copy and paste...
    Apple are you listening ?

  • How to set the Key Photo in .Mac Web Gallery ?

    Has anyone managed to set the key photo in a .Mac Web Gallery album ? The key photo is the photo used on the main page of the Web Gallery to illustrate the event.
    In iPhoto, all you do is select in the left column a published .Mac Web Gallery, right-click on the photo you want to set as the key photo, and select "set as key photo".
    In aperture, you can do the same in a project, but this will only set the key photo for your "all projects" view. This key photo is not used when exporting the project to .mac web gallery.
    In all the web galleries I export from Aperture, the first picture is used as the key photo, it's really a problem. Any solution ?
    Message was edited by: skiss

    There is a small "Header Bar" if you will in iPhoto, you can drag the photo you want to that header bar and I think that accomplishes what you want if I understand what you mean by Key Photo (the photo that shows up in e-mail if you forward the gallery to others). My wife and I stumbled on that solution as we were trying to figure it out. Actually I think wife gets the credit, she had the mouse in her hand when it happened .

  • Key photos

    Is there a way to change the key photo for an event or to change the name of an event in iPhoto for iOS?

    Yes. Make sure the photo you'd like to be the thumbnail is the first photo in the album.
    You are right, it's the first photo, not the third like I thought (don't know where I got that idea).
    However, I guess I should have been more specific by adding that I'd like to keep the photos in the order they are in, their shooting or chronological order. Maybe I'm naive but I don't think I should have to make compromises to my vision to suit the limitations of a software program.

  • Choose a photo as AirDrop account photo

    when my AirDrop is on, other devices can see my device, how can i choose a photo for my AirDrop and others can see it as my account photo ?

    It happens to me too. When i add a photo into an album, after the sync in the itunes the cover is a random photo from that album. I would also like to know whether this is something new or it is a bug.
