Confused about importing images

I'm new to DreamWeaver but I've used GoLive for many years and still do. In GoLive if I want to import a folder of images so as to have them to work with in my site I just select Import, navigate to the folder and click it and the folder of images is copied to the site and appears in the GoLive window.
There is no way to do this in DreamWeaver that I can see. There is nothing I can find in the Help files or in the Missing Manual about importing images except one confusing entry in the Missing Manual. It says an image can be anywhere on your hard drive, but a couple paragraphs later it says images should be in the root folder of the site. I don't see any way to get them into the root folder other than doing so in the Finder which the documentation cautions against because DreamWeaver will become confused if this is done outside of DreamWeaver's Files window.
This has been absolutely maddening for me and I've spent at least an hour trying to figure out how to simply import images. It shouldn't be this difficult? What am I missing?

No, you cannot IMPORT the images per se, there is no import function available.
Nadia, first you say to bring files into DW via the Files window and caution against doing it another way. Then in your next reply you say you don't use the Files window and so in fact bring the images in another way via Windows Explorer.
I appreciate you trying to be helpful, but I can't imagine being presented with more contradictory and confusing information.
Can anybody tell me how to import a folder of images into DW?
What I was trying to explain was that there are different ways to 'bring in' the images into the defined Dreamweaver site.
1.  Copy them from anywhere on your hard-drive  into a specific images folder within the defined site.
2.  Work with an image that may be saved elsewhere, but save it to a folder within the defined site.
As for the confusion.  regarding working with files, you need to understand why you need to define a site in Dreamweaver first.  DW keeps track of all the links as you build a site, but the files - whether html, text or image files - need to be inside the defined site folder structure.  How you get them in there is completely up to you.  More than one way to skin a cat as they say.

  • PE9 get confused about displaying images

    Been using PE9 for a few weeks and within the past couple of days it seems to get confused about which image should be displayed within the timeline. Have a medium size project with 30-40 jpg's in it and when shown in the timeline (or in the monitor window), PE9 replaces the image associated with a particular file with an image from another file. In the Project list you can get Properties and the path\file name shows up perfectly but PE9 uses the image from another file. Tried closing the project, and PE9 - no help. Tried re-booting Windows 7 (64 bit) - nop help. This seems to get worse as time goes on and I have not been able to find a solution.

    My photo's are either 720 x 480 or 720 x 1080 depending on whether they are landscape or portrait.

  • Confused about import and export formats

    I have a load of 8mm video footage that I want to archive before the old camera dies. As a first step I have used my DVD/HDD recorder attached to my TV to save the footage from the camera, do a little bit of editing and then burn onto DVD at the highest quality available. Doing this I can get 60 mins of footage onto each DVD and the quality is a good as the original. I now want to play with a few of these by importing into iMovie 09 so that I can add a few titles and link clips together with a few transitions. Nothing too complicated. Here's where I get a bit lost with all the formats available to me for importing and exporting. What's the best way of doing this? Having read around a bit it looks like conversion to DV is good for getting into iMovie in the first place. To do this I have tried using MPEG Streamclip and it looks OK, but what about all of the settings options DV25, DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50, frame blending, downscaling etc etc no idea what any of this means. Then having added a few bits and pieces, what's the best way of saving it again to make sure that I keep the quality as high as possible - DV? Ultimately I'd like to have the edited movies back on DVDs with the footage quality the same as I started with i.e. no compression artefacts. If I save the final version in DV format I could then keep copies to view with Quicktime and then do I just use iDVD or MPEG Streamclip to convert to a format playable on a DVD player. Is there any guide somewhere as to what all of the different formats are for pro.s cons etc. Also confused as to why files get bigger and bigger e.g. a 20min clip on a DVD is about 1.5GB, but when converted to DV becomes almost 5GB. I can understand how compression makes files sizes smaller, but what's happening here??

    A Quick Time .mov movie can play on any PC as log as they have the Quicktime player
    free http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
    To do it, open iMovie, pick you project, then "Share to Media Browser" and pick the "HD" setting. It can take hours/movie depending on their length. Once it is done you can find it inside the iMovie project's file. TO get there, go to Users Folder -> your User name folder -> Movies -> iMovie projects -> and find the project that you made the movie from. Right click on that file (or use the control key as you click on the file) and you will see a menu -> Show Package contents -> Movies and your 720p .mov movie will be in that Movie folder. you can drag it to your desktop and copy it to your external HD or flash drive.

  • Confused about import iPhoto Libraries Aperture 3.2

    When I first purchase Aperture 3.2.3 back in May I had many iPhoto librarys split out by year. I wanted an integrated view so when I imported them to Aperture I chose the "leave iPhoto library in place" option. That may not be the exact wording. I was under the impression that this meant that Aperture would point to those libraries, but not duplicate them. I'm not so sure of that now. My Aperture library is around 25GB. My iPhoto libraries add up to at least 120GB.
    I have upgraded to Aperture 3.4.2. I know about the library switching option, but I still want an integrated look at all my photos in one place. I got Aperture so I didn't have to do the iPhoto library switching I was doing.
    Yesterday I spent a good amount of time deleting a bunch of extraneous photos I had from a project I did throughout 2011. My Aperture library shrunk 1GB. The iPhoto library didn't change size. That makes me think that the import actually put the files in the Aperture Library.
    So, now I'm not sure what's going on. Is there a way to see which libraries are pointed to the original iPhoto libraries?

    Is there a way to see which libraries are pointed to the original iPhoto libraries?
    When you select an image in the Aperture library and use the command "File > Show in Finder" you can see the location of the original image file. If this points into a folder inside an iPhoto Library, you are really referencing the iPhoto Library. But if the command "Show in Finder" is disabled for an image, it is managed inside the Aperture library.
    But frankly, I do not think it is a good idea to use Aperture to delete images inside your iPhoto libraries. Ypur iPhoto Libraries may be corrupted this way.

  • Confused about import and workflow using existing filing system

    Ok folks, I purchased Lightroom last week and I am still staring at an empty Library module. I have thousands of images but I seem to have been overcome by a case of anxiety/paralysis. Why, you ask? I can't determine an import strategy; here's why.
    I maintain three versions of every photo: 1) Original RAW, 2)Processed Tif, and 3) a Screen/web-ready Jpg
    Photos are sequencially numbered and maintained in folders as in the example below:
    - Main folder, 00001-00048
    -- 3 Sub-folders: RAW, Tif, Jpg,
    --- Each sub-folder has a sub-folder containing 24 photos (e.g 00001-00024 and 00025-00048)
    Method to my madness...
    - Each Main folder/content fits nicely on a DVD
    - 24 files to each sub-folder makes a nice printed 4 column, 6 row contact sheet and a 1024 x 768 contact sheet for the computer screen.
    Obviously I do not want all 3 versions of every photo visible in the library but I do want access to all of them through LR. Can I import all three versions and stack them?
    Also, I typically d/l my RAW files from a card reader to a d/l folder, preview and delete, process keepers via PS and save as Tif, batch rename picking up where I left off from the last batch, and finally resize/convert to Jpg and save copies. All files are then moved to numbered folders on a backup hard drive and burned to two DVDs.
    Given the new/required import methodology, is this process of saving, renaming, moving to different folders, etc., still possible using LR, or do I have to reinvent the wheel?
    Apologies for the lengthy post - appreciate any and all input. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
    Jeff

    > Can I import all three versions and stack them?
    Well, you can only stack within a folder, not across the hierarchy. So they'll all need different names and to be in the same folder. But leaving them in their own folders should work, and there are ways to hide them, like making the RAWs red, the TIFFs green, and the JPEGs purple, or something like that. Then just filter for what you want.
    Your downloading etc. system should still work in LR.

  • Confused about Java Image Processing APIs

    I'm working on a Java application to which I'd like to add some advanced visual effects. Specifically, I'd like to make the application UI "dissolve" away when a specific selection is made. (See this link - http://www.anfyteam.com/anj/deform/deform.html - for an example of the effect I'm trying to emulate.)
    I believe I know how to create this effect, but my main question has to do with how to actually accomplish it in Java. It seems that there are many different technologies that do the same thing--Java 2D and JAI among them--and many types of classes--BufferedImage, ImageProducer/ImageConsumer, etc.--that all do the same sorts of things.
    Can someone help me with this question: what is the most modern technique for doing something like this that would offer the best performance?
    Thanks very much!
    Greg

    Hi Greg.
    BufferedImage is pretty much the cream of the crop as far as working with images goes.
    The Producer/Consumer model, as I understand it, is an artefact from when Java was more applet-centric, and allows applications to use images as they are loading, under the assumption that they will load slowly.
    See these articles for more information:

  • Confused about importing...

    I was given a 40 minute clip as the source footage of a project. It's 1920x1080, 23.98 and audio is stereo 48k. The codecs are AAC and Motion JPEG A.
    My import settings are both checked for Transcoding: Create optimized media and Create Proxy media.
    But when I try to add the first edit to the timeline, I get "The Video Properties of this clip are not recognized." And if I add the clip to the timeline, I see the orange line above the clip meaning that it needs to prerender the clip.
    What's going on?
    I thought that by checking Create optimized media and Create Proxy media it would use the ProRess 422 files that it created. I can see the transcoded files in my Event folder, and I've given it all the time it needs to transcode.
    I check my Playback preferences and I get the same warning whether Use Proxy Media or Use original or optimized media is checked.
    I don't understand. I guess I can run the whole source clip through Compressor first to create a ProRes 422 file and import that, but that's what I thought importing did.
    Thanks for the help.

    Here's the Event folder. You can see the ProRes files and they're definitely ProRes.
    Could it be that the problem is because I didn't wait long enough for the media to get transcoded before I did my first edit?

  • Import Images from Xcel

    When I open an xls that has about 300 rows and one of the columns has photos. The photos stop at the 100th row and do not show up after. Is this a known issue and is there any way to save from excel to fix this?

    First time I've sen anything asked about importing images from Excel. Does it give any warning or error reports during import?
    To satisfy my own curiosity, in what way are the images associated with cells? The only method I am aware of is to set them to resize and move with cells.  But then they get imported into Numbers as images, not associated with the table at all (or at least that's what I got when I tried it). 

  • Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

    Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

    Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the latest version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 on Novemder 18th 2014.
    Further updates to LR 4 were stopped when LR 5 was released on June 9th 2013. No further updates for bug fixes and new camera support.
    Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced into the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was discontinued.
    You can use the Adobe DNG program (free download for the package) to convert the Nef (raw) files from your Nikon D750 to the Adobe DNG format which will permit you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow for the processing of raw files with outdated versions of LR and ACR.
    You can also update the ACR plugin for PS CS6 to version 8.7 which can also work with the raw files from the D750. For direct support in Lightroom you will need to upgrade (paid) to version 5.7.

  • HT4101 The SD card reader won't import images to the iPad. I purchase 10 months ago, and haven't had a problem with it until today. How do I remedy this problem? I'm about the go out of town and prefer not a travel with my laptop.

    My SD card reader won't import images from the SD card. I purchased this product 10 months ago and have had no problem with it up to now. How do I remedy this problem. Using the product allows me to travel without a laptop ...Please help!

    Have you tried to give your device a reset? Sometimes that helps with glitches. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    ALso, the card reader will only see files that are formatted correctly. If you just took the images from your computer and put them onto the card, then it won't work. They have to follow a strict naming convention. There has to be a folder named DCIM on the card and then all those images have to have a file name of exactly 8 characters, DSC_3857 for example. Your camera makes this naming structure but if you manually put the photos on that card you may not have replicated it.
    Is this a card you've used before? If it's a new card and is empty then the iPad won't read it. Also if it's SDXC it won't read those either (XC cards use a file structure that the iPad can't decipher)

  • How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

    How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

    Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

  • Importing images with Lightroom 2  & Camera RAW 4.5

    The following query has been raised with Adobe Technical Support (5 days ago and I am still waiting for a response/reply. They claim to reply within 24 hours but they have not on this occasion......they seem to be ignoring me
    Perhaps a fellow user can help to identify or resolve the problem.
    Operating System:
    Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3)
    Software:
    Adobe Design Premium CS3 (10.0.1); Photoshop Lightroom 1.4 (which was working fine) and Lightroom 2 (on trial and not working particularly well)
    I am using a trial download of Photoshop Lightroom 2 (with Camera RAW 4.5 in Photoshop CS3).
    I am having a few problems with editing Lightroom 2 images in Photoshop CS3 but I understand that Adobe is currently investigating a solution to this problem.
    I have also noticed another potential problem since I have started to import images from a computer drive to Lightroom 2 and converting the Manufacturers RAW files to DNG (with the option to leave the files at their current location/drive).
    My RAW and JPEG files open ok in Camera RAW (v 4.5) for basic editing and subsequently to Photoshop for more detailed work. The problem is that all my images are now opening as Smart Objects by default in Photoshop CS3, as opposed to opening as a Background layer". (I have not knowingly opted to use the Open as Smart Object option.
    I am not entirely sure how this came about but I have also lost the capacity to edit images with empty Levels adjustment layers or percentage (%) grey fill option).
    I am able to highlight the respective layer and create the empty Levels adjustment layer, change the blend mode to either Multiply or Screen, fill the Layer Mask with Black (Alt & backspace), change the opacity level as desired, select the brush tool and change the foreground colour to white to enable the applicable Dodge or Burn processes.
    Unfortunately, it does not function irrespective of the preferred opacity level. The Dodge or Burn feature is static with no effect on the image.
    I cannot recall any settings to open all files as Smart Objects in Photoshop CS3 but would welcome some help in identifying such a setting if it exists. Alternatively, I would welcome any other suggested methods of correcting the above difficulties.
    The same difficulties are evident when I try to use the Dodge or Burn features via the Edit and Fill option with a percentage of Grey and the Overlay Blend Mode.
    The "Common Denominator" of the above difficulties appear to be Lightroom 2 and Camera RAW 4.5 (individually and or collectively) and now I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
    Are any other users experiencing similar issues or have any suggestions about how I might correct or resolve these problems? ......
    I am not afraid of hearing or accepting that the "Dummy Factor" has played some part or how I may release myself from the said "Dummy Factor".....any help is welcome help.
    Adobe Technical Support seems to be ignoring me......I wonder why?
    Regards
    Bob Wallace

    Essentially you are wrapping the raw image data into a special type of layer, a "smart object". You can then revisit and fine tune the Camera Raw conversion as often as you want and take advantage of working directly on the raw data in its pre-Photoshop purity. You can also apply to this smart object layer a number of Photoshop adjustments and filters - and again redo and fine tune them as often as you wish.
    You'll find them explained in a number of recent books. I know Scott Kelby is keen on them, there are examples on Russell Brown's site, and my own book last year on B&W strongly advocated their use.
    Have a play.

  • Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original?

    I am transitioning to mac and aperture. Is there a way to import images that have been edited and assign them to the original? I have 10,000 originals and about 2,000 edited images. The originals are named img_XXXX and anything modified img_XXXX_modified. I would like to be able to import the originals and then import the edited versions and assign them to the original masters. Instead of starting from here and going forward with 12,000 masters, some of which are actual originals and others not. Thanks for the help.

    Ah, the vestiges of a destructive workflow! Once you "get" Aperture, (specifically Masters and Versions) you are going to love it, as all of this work goes away - the relationship that you seek to retain is automatic in Aperture; it is simply done differently.
    The short answer to your question is EVERY image file that is Imported into Aperture will create a new Master and one Version. Assuming that your images are PSD/TIFF/JPEG that you created in something like Photoshop, then each one that your import will be a new Master. You have many options:
    -- Stick the originals in one Project(s) and the edited versions in another Project(s).
    -- Stick them all in the same Project(s) and "Stack" them.
    But here is the real question: Why are you doing all of this work and what are you trying to accomplish? Seems you are trying to preserve old things that don't need preserving in a non-destructive workflow.
    So, what is most valuable to you?
    -- The original, out of camera files? (That is, the fear/need to revert.)
    -- The edited versions? (That is the hours of work that it took you to get there.)
    If the former, import the originals and ignore the edited versions. (Either simply leave them out on disk or import them into their own Projects which you ignore.) Use Aperture to recreate the work you had done previously. This will always give you the ability to revert to the original Master and create as many Versions as you want. This is the best idea if your edits are relatively simple crops and exposure adjustments,
    If the latter, then import the edited versions and do as above with the originals. This makes more sense if your work uses lots of layers and, perhaps lots of clone tool type corrections.
    Of course, you can do a bit of both.
    Others may have better suggestions, but you will find it easy to answer your own question when you understand an image based, as opposed to a file based, non-destructive workflow.
    Good luck!

  • Using Power Query to import image files for Power View

    I am trying to use Power Query to import image data from a SQL Azure database for use in Power View.  I've selected both the source image table and the ?images table in the workbook query.  The files seem to load as binary data in the Power
    Query editor but when loaded to the data model with Power Pivot, the field becomes "text" type rather than binary.  Does anyone know the procedure to use  PowerQuery to load image files into PowerPivot?

    Hi,
    We currently do not support loading binary data from Power Query into the Power Pivot data model. This is something we'd like to address soon. For now, you will need to use the Power Pivot import capabilities if you want to achieve this.
    Sorry about the inconvenience - we will try to enable this feature over the coming months.
