Contact sheet used to print in Windows Live Photo Gallery but now it doesn't

At one point in time I was able to print contact sheets from my desktop to my HP Officejet 5610x and now I can't. Previously when I chose photos to print it previewed all the photos and now when I select photos it only shows one in the preview window but I have selected more than one to print. If I unclick the "fit to screen" option it doesn't show anything at all. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hello ClintsMomma,
For the issue of not seeing multiple images selected in Windows Photo Viewer. Have you completed all recommended and optional Windows Updates? As well can you please provide me with the full model number of your notebook. I have included the document 'Guide to finding your product number'. As well what version of Windows are you currently running. I have included the document 'Which Windows operating system am I running?'.
Thank you

Export from Aperture to edit in Windows Live Photo Gallery

Hi.
I'm hoping to work collaboratively with a colleague, in a scenario where I take & edit photos, then pass them over for a possible final touch up before being forwarded to clients.
I use Mac OSX 10.6 and Aperture. He uses Windows Vista and Windows Live Photo Gallery.
The problem we've come up against is this: he is unable to edit the image I've exported from Aperture. I'm exporting as .JPG, and he's able to read them ok - i.e. load it into Windows Live Photo Gallery, but not alter the image.
Does anyone have a similar workflow, exporting from Aperture, then editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery?
Thanks in advance,
PB

Hi Frank.
Thanks for the response.
Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
Thanks again,
PB

HT201302 Is it better to save photos using windows photo gallery or windows live photo gallery?

Is it better to save photos from iphone 4s to laptop ..windows 7... using windows photo gallery or windows live photo gallery? ive used both and it appears to be adding all photos each time i do it despite which one i use. My laptop is filling up with the same photos 2,3,4,5 times.... Depending what was on my phone at the time.... the older photos have been repeated more often. I thought when importing to laptop only new photos would be added... how do I change this?
Also now I have so many duplicates i dont know which ones to delete as some have been saved as jpg... , imgJPG...., vcm_s_kf.... and vcm_s_kf_repr.... Why? and which ones do I delete?
I have deleted some photos and pictures which look like computers, printers , docket printers etc Since then my Media Gallery does not work. Have I accidently deleted a driver or something? or is Media Gallery just overloaded?

As long as you've backed up your photos, what you use is really a matter of personal preference. To avoid duplicates, pick one program. Getting rid of duplicates that you already have is probably going to mean going through the photos one by one.
For problems with Windows Software, you're probably better off posting on a Windows forum.
Best of luck.

Windows Live Photo Gallery stopped importing and scanning from my printer.

Windows Live Photo Gallery was allowing import and scanning from my printer. All of a sudden this feature has stopped working. I no longer get the dialogue box that asks whether I want to import documents or pictures... Could this be a setting
issue?

You can launch it manually.The executable for the Scanner and Camera Wizard is:
Start > Run > Type in wiaacmgr.exe > Press Enter key.

I get a message that helper application does not exist when I try to open a jpg or excel files as attachments. I have associated use windows live photo gallery

I have gone to Tools, Options, Attachments and there are programs associated that should be able to open the files - Windows Live Photo gallery for JPG files and Microsoft Excel for excel files. I have to actually download and save the files and then open them. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks, Matt, I did as you suggested and now it works!

Import People tags from Windows Live Photo Gallery

I've used Windows Live Photo Gallery for years and have over 15k images that have people tags embedded in the metadata for the files. I recently downloaded the Photoshop Elements 13 trial and am trying to determine if the organizer that ships with it will meet my needs, however, I am not seeing a way to import People tags from my existing images. I have imported the images, and most of the photo tags appear to have been imported, but not the people tags. Is there any built-in way to import people tags from the file-based EXIF metadata, or an external tool or add-in that might be able to bring my WLPG People Tags into PE13?
Thanks!

Adding a 'Me too' to bump this up. Doing the '30 day evaluation' as I'm looking to change only because MSFT has abandoned the product and I some better editing on things like 'healing/clone brush' for the picture's I scan (using the very old Digital Image Pro). Google's Picasa has no problem recognizing them including the location of the face selection (though it does like to recognize over top of them sometimes).
I can deal with some of the amazingly frustrating clunkiness of the UI and navigation (they seriously need to hire some new usability designers) but it is a show stopper if the People aspect won't recognize existing tags from WLG and/or Picasa.

Importing Photos From Windows Live Photo Gallery To iPhoto '11

##### Note: I've seen a lot of discussion on this topic but nothing recent, so here it goes #####
Hi -
I am about to receive my new iMac (congratulations to me!) and will soon commense transferring >5,000 photos from my PC. I would like these to transfer into iPhoto.
I've used Windows Live Photo Gallery (WLPG) to tag these photos by various means (location, person, event, etc). I've read that WLPG stores this metadata with the .jpg file in XMP, or Extensible Metadata Platform. The result is that the tagging data is with the photo file. The tags are in a few categories:
People
Events
Places
Each of these categories will have a number of tags (example: Events include: "Joe's 5th birthday", "Christmas '12", etc)
I understand that iPhoto supports data if it embedded in the ITPC. Reading a bit about iPhoto, there look to be a number of homes for this data (Events, Keywords, etc).
Ideally, I would love to have these photos transferred into iPhoto with consistent tagging. Does anyone know how I can maintain this data into iPhoto? Can anyone recommend a tool for the conversion?
Thanks!

My Windows pc crashed and I'm thinking about replacing with the Mac Mini. But like you, I have thousands of tagged photos in Windows Live Gallery. Losing the tags is a non-starter. I really don't care too much about "where" the photo was taken, but I do care about "who" is in the photo and what "event" was occurring when the photo was taken. For example, one photo could be tagged with my daughter's name, my son's name, my wife's name, event of Disneyworld, and the date taken should be just embedded in the photo itself. So four tags for the one photo plus the embedded date taken.
If I migrate to iPhoto on the Mac, will I be able to bring all of those individual tags over easily? What was your final experience now that you've been messing with it for a year? And if you are happy, are you able to sort all you photos by just clicking a person's name and a date range and having iPhoto return all photos with that one person within those dates?
Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

Migrating from Windows Live Photo Gallery to iPhoto

I'm interested in moving to a Mac, and bringing with me my photo collection, which has been organised (keyworded) using Windows Live Photo Gallery.
Has anybody had any experience with this?
All the keywords assigned using WLPG are stored in the photos as EXIF metadata, and I'm interested in preserving this, to save re-keywording the photos...
Thanks
David

David
If the keywords are written to the correct fields on the Metadata then they will come with the photos to the Mac.
Easiest way to check, pop some on a USB Flash Drive and bring them to a Mac using friend's house or even a local Apple store.

I installed PSE8 and have had no problems with photos I scanned,etc. But Windows 7 defaults import photos from my camera to Windows Live Photo Gallery. My problem is now I can't get PSE8 to import from the clipboard. It is grayed out and I can't click it. How dop I get my photos into PSE8 and then get the two programs to play right together?

How do I find the home page to update plugins? Google Update, Google Earth Plugin, Windows Live Photo Gallery. I have been to the Google plugins page and found nothing. Thank you. .

I am using Window 7 and Firefox 5.0.1

Google Update, Google Earth Plugin, Windows Live Photo Gallery Plugin all show up as unkown plugins in the Plugin check. Windows Live Photo Gallery is part of Windows Live Essentials.
I searched the Microsoft Web-site in general and specifically Windows Live Photo Gallery and could any version numbers. My current version of Windows Live Photo Gallery Plugin is shown as 15.4.3508.1109 last updated Novmber 10, 2010. I did an internet search and this appears to be the version number for Window Live Essentials 2011. Filecluster.com lists the latest version of Windows Live Photo Gallery as 15.4.3538.0513 updated on Jul 07, 2011. I can find no versions or dates for the plugin.
Thanks.

Showing Geotags on iPhone from windows live photo gallery

I use Windows live photo gallery to geotag my photos (along with other details such as face and descriptive tags), however when i try and veiw them on my iphone they dont appear on the map. is there anyway to get them to come up? if not any suggests on apps i can use that will view up and also that you only need to add the address to geotag the photo

I ran a test with iPhoto's rating system and it does'nt seem to export it with the other metadata so it can be read by other apps that have rating systems nor does it read ratings added by another DAM (digital asset management) app, Media Pro 1. So I doubt if it can read ratings from Live Photo Gallery.
I would try adding keywords to those photos to represent the rating, i.e. Five Start for five stars, write them to the files on the PC and see if iPhoto will be able to import the keyword. If it can then a smart album can be created for all photos with that keyword and you can add the rating to all of them at one time. Then do what you want with the keyword.
