Create square photo in pse 9

I crop photos to square aspect on monitor for ebay use. After using guided edit in pse 9 to correct, I resize, but it never allows square...always changes. EVen when I try to custom print a square just to see if it will work,, it still comes out a rectangle. Pllease help.

If you enter a value for resolution on the option bar of the crop tool, depending on the circumstance, resampling may occur.
That is my understanding of the downside.
I have adopted the following work flow with a picture file that comes out of my camera, and that I want to print:
Open picture file
Go to Image>resize>image size, and increase the resolution (stepwise-trial & error) so that I come close to 4x6", or 5x7". The options to constrain proportions and resample remain unchecked.
I strive for resolution 240-300px/in for a decent print
Set the crop boundaries on the rectangular marquee tool, drag out
Go to Image>crop

Creating tags to organize photos in PSE 12

I just got a new computer and installed PSE 12. I want to organize my photos with my own tags, and can't find a way to do that with the new program.
Also, I don't want to send my photos to the cloud.
HELP!!!

Dear nealeh:
Thanks for the advice, and hope that I can find the tools I used to use to nicely. I'll report back once I have tried your suggestions.

You need to spend some time with Help> Getting Started. You can create many categories and sub-categories in your tags, the Organizer fixes you refer to are still there - click Instant Fix at bottom right, and if you convert your existing catalog then all those existing tags will come across with them (although People, Places & Events are handled differently from 8 & 9. And you don't have to store anything in the cloud if you don't want to.
Cheers,
Neale

Problems creating Shutterfly Photo Book with PSE 9

Has anyone run across this problem. Searched the forum here, and nothing has come up. Created a photo book using the Elements 9 organizer. Selected the order button, it saved the files, transferred them, then opened a Shutterfly window to complete the order. Single Image that Shutterfly would show was the cover to center the title page image in a center cut space on the cover. The image looked compressed and not centered. Exited the program, re centered the image and selected order again. Same result, image looked centered but compressed. Went to the Shutterfly website in make sure that images were not compressed like that (since it saves your project under your profile). Instead found that some pages were correct, and some (like the title page) took an entire page that I made in Elements and compressed it into a single frame of a three framed picture page, for example. The whole project is a total mess! I'm just glad I looked on the Shutterfly site before pressing the purchase button and paying $30 for a book to be delivered looking like that! Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I pretty much used all of the prompts in elements to create the book, and since Shutterfly is supposed to be seamlessly integrated into this, I thought it would work without problems. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks,
Dave

Have seached this entire forum for help with this issues and there is nothing. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong??
Thanks!

How do I create a photo in jpg or other photo format from a frame within iMovie11. The suggestion I have found from earlier versions of iMovie does not create a jpg file that can be revealed in Finder. Help please.

How do I create a photo in jpg or other photo format from a frame in iMovie. The previous suggestions on here do not create a jpg file when you chose reveal in finder when using iMovie11 and OS X

First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
Here is a video I made that steps through this...

Saving edited photos in PSE 12 from Lr 5

I have edited several photos in PSE 12 from Lr5
After selecting the item to edit with the magnetic lasso tool on the background layer and saving it in selections I created a new layer and reloaded the selection so far so good
After editing and then going to save the photo does not show in Lr, it is in the pictures folder but only the selection is visible and the background or unedited portion is white
I went into Lr and picked the appropriate folder and after right clicking selected syncronise folder the picture then is displayed in Lr.
Do I need to select or deselect or combine the layers before saving or am I missing some other commands out.
Please try to keep instructions simple new to these programs so all unfamiliar ar present.

You probabloy used Save As. So you created a new file which Lightroom knows nothing about.
You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD)
2) Edit in PSE; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
3) Ctrl+W to close in PSE and update Lightroom thumbnail.
On Mac OSX Cmd+E; Cmd+S; Cmd+W
Also make sure all your layers are visibe (eye symbol not turned off) before using Ctrl+S

Archiving Photos in PSE 7

I am trying to clear up space on my hard drive, so I'm interested in archiving photos by using the "Copy/Move Offline" feature. I no longer want to have full versions on my hard drive, just the thumbnail references, and I'm hoping to minimize the difficulty in accessing the full versions when I upgrade the software. I have a couple of ideas/issues to figure out and would appreciate some help:
1. One option is archive to a DVD--my issue is that I use a specific folder structure on my harddrive (i.e. Year>Quarter = 2007>JAN-MAR), and I'm not sure how to create that on a DVD (or if its necessary). Do I need to use a read/write DVD in order to create my structure ahead of time, then "move offline" the files in sections? Would I still need the structure?
2. Another option is my external harddrive--I tried to "move offline," using the "Copy/Move Offline" feature, the full version photos to the external harddrive, so that I could still have my folder structure. Then I was hoping that I could access the photos in PSE when the harddrive was disconnected, and they would show up as "offline." No such luck. When I went to a photo that should have been "offline," it treated it as a missing link and tried to reconnnect. Anyone know why this is happening? Any other suggestions on how to make it offline on an external harddrive?
*I do also want to mention that I have a full back up on an off-site server, and I plan on burning DVD's with just the photos and sending them to other off-site locations (i.e. family members), so that I don't have all my eggs in one basket, so to speak.

I recommend moving your folder heirarchy to an external hard drive using Display > Folder Location view:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos
I strongly recommend against using File > Copy/Move to Removable Disk. A fair number of people have reported here that when they used this command in an older version of PSE and then upgraded, their catalog was corrupted. Most of them were able to recover their photos and tags, but it was very painful. Adobe customer service was useless -- they even asked one person to mail them a copy of his catalog, and after a coule of months, they said in effect "sorry". So in my opinion, you'd be foolish to entrust your metadata to Adobe.
Copy/Move To Removable doesn't preserve your folder structure. It also doesn't make "previews" or "proxies" (large thumbnails) of your images when you move the files to a hard drive rather than optical media, as you've discovered. (Not clear if that's a "feature" or a "bug".)

How do I open the square photo books from iPad in iPhoto Mac ?

I began creating a square photo book on iPad (iOS7) and decided that I would create the book on my Macbook instead (Mavericks) - so I could access my full photo library. However I can only see rectangular photo book templates on the Mac.
Questions:
- Is it user error or are the templates totally different on Mac and on IOS?
- Is there any way to transfer a square photo book project from iPad to Mac via iTunes or iCloud?
Thanks :-)

Just about the only thing iPhoto for Mac and iPhoto for iOS share is a name.
So, no, it's not user error, the templates are different
and
No, there's no way to transfer any book project.

Create HDR-Photo in Photoshop CS6

The process of creating HDR-photo in Photoshop is not started when I send Canon Camera Raw photos (.CR) (3 pieces) by means of Bridge-function "tools / photoshop / create HDR pro" to photoshop; photoshop itsself
open automatically - however, process is not started.

What do you do after making the changes? Either opening the edited RAW file, or clicking on Done will create the sidecar (XMP) files which contain all of the information about your adjustments. The next time you open that RAW file, it will look for an XMP file with the same file name, and use the information contained in it.
If you delete the XMP files, it's back to square one!
You deleted them to save space? A typical XMP file is probably less than 10kb, which is a tiny fraction of the size of the RAW file. You need to rethink your strategy.

Ordering a Square Photo

I want to have a photo printed as a square. I set the appropriate constraints, but now I don't know how to get it sent to me! I don't have a photo printer, either, and I would really like it to be a quality photo. Can iPhoto do this? or should I look to a local print shop? I guess I could order the 8x10 and cut it... Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. Thanks!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Apple doesn't offer a square size. You would have to check other online photo finishers to see if they do. If you know someone with a printer see if they would do it for you.
If you have a 3rd party editor that will handle layers you could create a blank 8x10 and put the largest square photo in the center of it, 8x8. Then add a color to the white space at either end so that the file, when uploaded to Apple, doesn't get cropped but will print the full 8x10 with the color border. Cut the border off and you have your square print.
Editors that can handle layers are Seashore,Acorn and Photoshop Elements.
Or try http://www.mpix.com/PrintPricing.aspx for 8x8 photos at 1.99 per or 10x10 at 3.99. Mpix.com is a well respected online photo finisher that offers different surfaces for the prints.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I am trying to import photos into PSE 12 from folders on my desktop, which are organized by broad topics--family, vacations, etc.. Many of my photos are located in several folders. When I try to import them to PSE I get a message saying some photos were

I am new to PSE 12 and am trying to import my photos from folders on my desktop which I have organized by the categories I had in my previous program (Creative Memories). Many of my photos are located in multiple folders, i.e. one photo could be in "Family," Vacations" and "Birthdays." When I try to import the contents of each folder on my desktop I am often getting the message that many of my photos were not imported as they are already in my catalog. Is there a way that I can import any one photo multiple times so that it ends up in all the folders I want it to be in? I know I can locate the photo in PSE and copy it to a different folder(s), but there are so many not being imported that this would be a huge task!

By design, the organizer (and any other database management systems) is there to prevent you from duplicating your media files. The catalog management allows you to have the same image in different categories or albums. Duplication in different folders is to be absolutely avoided.
The same image file can have multiple tags like 'family', 'vacations', 'birthdays' and be present in three different albums with the same names. On obvious advantage is less disk space. Another one with your present folder system is that if you edit one of your duplicates, the other ones are unchanged.
I don't see an easy way to make your present folder structure simplified for the organizer ...

Create a photo page and have the photo's link to other internal pages

really basic quesiton, sorry but I can't do this for some reason. I created a photo page that is going to be a menu page to link to some internal pages. for some reason the Enable as a Hyperlink is greyed out and I can't click on it to make the image a hyperlink.
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks

What you need to do is place a shape over the top of the image, then using Inspector, Graphic Tab give it an Opacity of 1% then you can make the shape a hyperlink.
The imageholders on the photo page cannot be used as hyperlinks.
Alos you must giv ethe shape an opacity of at least 1%, if you try 0% it will not work.

How can i create a photo book from 2 libraries easily?

This is my situation.
I want to create a photo album of my child for the past year for parents/grandparents etc from the photos on mine AND my wifes macbooks. Before iphoto 9.5 i would simply look at her shared library from my iPhoto and use hers and my photos to make a book.
Now there is no shared library in 9.5, so after doing my homework on how apple wants us to do this now, I started a shared iCloud photostream ('kid' 2013) and invited my wife to it. I started adding photos from my library, and she did the same. All good i thought, but no. Becasue the photo stream only sorts by 'date added' not date taken, and in fact I cannot even see the date the photo was taken in the photostream, it means making a chronological photo book from both our photo libraries has now been made impossible.
Anybody got any other ways to do this?

All good i thought, but no. Becasue the photo stream only sorts by 'date added' not date taken, and in fact I cannot even see the date the photo was taken in the photostream, it means making a chronological photo book from both our photo libraries has now been made impossible.
Create an album, and then select all photos in the Shared Photo Sream and add them to the album. In the album you can see the dates of the photos in the Info panel. Then sort your album by date, and create the Photo Book from the album, not directly from the shared stream.

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together. How can i do this?

You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A
