Creating plugin to use photos from websites

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to create a Photoshop plugin where someone could do a search for images, say on iStock, download one, and pull it into your project all from within Photoshop?  I'm new to Photoshop plugins and aren't quite sure what the range of capabilities are.
Thanks,
Dan

Great, thanks.  If anyone on this forum is interested in being hired to work on something like that, please send me a private message.

  • Can't use photos from photostream in mail, web an other applications

    Isn't it possible any more to use photos from photostream to paste them in emails or web forms? I always took photos with my iPhone and then without syncing I used the photos for ebay on my macbook. Now, with mavericks, you can choose "photos" to paste them, but the photos of the photostream are not shown! Thanks for helping, FRED

    Kari,
    what is your MacOS X version and  iPhoto version?
    If you cannot  delete photos from the iLifeAssetManagement folder, then you have a permissions problem. You should be able to do that. Try to fix the permissions for that part of your User Library.
    Navigate again to the  iLifeAssetManagement folder as described above. Then select the Folder and press ⌘I (clover leaf, capital letter I) for "Get Info". You shoud see an ifo panel like this:
    Disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick by pressing the disclosure triangle. Press the padlock in the lower right corner and enter your administrator password. Make sure your user account .....(Me) has Rad &Write permissions, change the permissions if necessary. Then click the padlock and select to apply to enclosed items.
    Then try again, if you now can delete photos from the Stream.

  • Using photos from iphoto in adobe photoshop elements

    I'm new to the mac world. I do a lot of casual digital photography. I like to edit pictures and create things in photoshop elements.
    I'm trying to make sure I'm opening photos from the correct folder in the iphoto library.
    I think either using photos in the modified or original photos is the proper way? Any input.
    Also, can I create new folders within the iphoto library (finder side) to better organize my photos? I had pictures broken down by month on my pc and iphoto seems to only group by year. It makes locating the proper picture in photoshop elements easier if the pictures are broken down by month.
    I know I can use folders and albums within iphoto, but those catagories don't show up when trying to open photos in elements.
    Thanks for your input!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There ias a caveat to using PSE with iPhoto. It is: if you create a layered file or do edits that causes PSE to want to save as a .psd file you must either flatten the file and force PSE to save as a jpg or do a Save As to the Desktop and import the new file. Subsequent edits to that new psd file from within iPhoto like Terence pointed out can proceed normally.
    Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.

    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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Creating and saving a photo from video clip in iMovie '11

    Hello,
    My dad took what he thought were photos from his iPhone. Turned out to be a bunch of one second video clips as he accidentally had it on the video camera mode. Trying to create a still photo image from these clips. What's the best way to do this? Is iMovie able to do this? If so, some guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    I did try searching with no luck.
    Thanks for your help,
    AJ

    You can import the clips from your iPhone into iMovie 11.
    There are two approaches. Let's call them the shotgun approach and the rifle approach.
    Shotgun approach:
    Drag the 1 second video clips into an iMovie Project. Then SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
    Choose Still image sequence. This will give you 30 jpegs per second for all the clips. In other words, it will give you every single frame, converted to a still.
    Rifle Approach:
    Download a free app to your Mac called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iPhoto, right click on one of the Video clips, and select "Show in Finder".
    Drag these clips from the Finder into MPEG Streamclip. You should be able to hit the Play button and see them all.
    Move the playhead in MPEG Streamclip to the exact frame that you want. Then click FILE/Export Frame. You can choose whether you want JPEG, TIFF, or PNG. And choose a location. Move the playhead to the next frame you want and repeat.

  • Plugin to transfert photo from Mail to iPhoto?

    Hi,
    My mother is using 10.3 Mail and iPhoto 5 (ithink, not sure of the version!).
    She received many times photos in Mail. She would like a simple way to move pintures from Mail attachement to iPhoto. 10.4 includes a feature like this.
    I'd like to know if there is any Mail plugin or any (really easy) hint that can help her move her photos from Mail to iPhoto.
    Thanks

    Steve --
    I'm not positive about panther, but what happens if your mother selects the "SAVE" button next to the Paper Clip "Attachments" notice at the bottom of the mail header? (Just above the actual message)
    In Tiger, you get the option to download the files, or "Add to iPhoto." Have her check this, OK?

  • Remove un-used photos from library

    i have 68,000 photos in my library.
    About HALF of them are not used in any album.
    That is, after import, I have deleted half of the pictures from the albums.
    iPhoto is very slow to respond.
    I think it has to do with the large photo library.
    Is there any way to delete the UN-USED photos in the iPhoto Library and only keep the ones that are contained in at least one Album??

    You can make a smart album of photos not in an album, flag them, create a new event from flagged photos and delete teh photos form that event inbatches of 100 or so emptying the iPhoto trash after ever batch

  • Can you use photos from outside of iphoto or aperture?

    I now use Lightroom as Aperture is painfully slow so Albums are folders in the Pictures folder. iWeb appears not to let me drag a folder into an Album page. Will I need to fire up Aperture again?

    It seems that we're not able to drag folders of photos from the Finder into an Album page in iWeb. However, there's a workaround.
    open  the Media pane in iWeb and drag a folder of images from either Aperture or iPhoto into the Album page (neither have to be open).
    open the album and delete all of the photos.
    drag the photos from the folder in the Finder into the photo page in iWeb.
    Create a dummy album in Aperture or iPhoto with just one photo to drag from the Media Browser in iWeb.

  • Updates installed; now Screensaver won't use photos from Iphoto

    After installing software updates today, I get this message "You cannot use the Iphoto screensaver with this version of Mac OS X. Please contact the vendor to get a newer version of the screen saver."
    The only screen saver I have is the one that came with Snow Leopard. Help!

    I'm wondering if there's a bug that involves smart albums versus manually created albums.
    In addition to using a smart album to find flagged photos from my entire library, I tried adding an item to the smart album that would also show all photos in the latest three Events.
    In other words, an album for all flagged photos plus all new photos shot within the last three uploads to iPhoto.
    However, the AppleTV screensaver never took any photos from the latest three Events. It just kept finding the same limited set of flagged photos.

  • IOS: Using photos from camera and gallery

    Hi guys,
    has anybody experiences using photos (gallery, camera) on iOS device with Lingo?
    I wanna load a picture from gallery into my application or start camera, take a picture and load this.
    There is an solution by using clipboard but isn't user-friendly.
    Same with saving picture into the gallery?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi Schnell,
    I have no direct answer to your questions, regarding lingo commands to access the iOS camera or gallery…
    But you could try playing around with Director's 'flash xtra'
    Try building a simple Flash ActionScript file, which uses the ‘CameraRoll class’ to import a photo (Camera, CameraRoll & CameraUI class)
    You never know - might get lucky
    If you can get anything working, please let us all know.
    (on the other hand, it could all be a big waste of time??)
    good luck.

  • Using Photos from Events on iPad?

    Hi,
    I seem to be not able to access photos from the Events section of the Photo App on the iPad. Events are photos I synced via Aperture. The only options I have to chose from are Photos or Photo Stream. Is this a limitation or is there a trick I'm missing.
    Thanks,
    Selim

    Selim,
    Are you able to see you Images/Albums on the iPad and are you able to import it any other app? If the photos are available in the Photo library of iPad it should show up in Collage.
    I installed Aperture, imported some images created an Album of these images. After this when I synced the photos from Aperture, it started showing up on my iPad and was available for import from within Collage.
    One issue that i encountered was that of 'Sync failure', but that was resolved by tweaking the Aperture preferences setting.

  • Use photos from Aperture 3 as Wallpapers problem

    I chose photos from Aperture projects as desktop wallpaper by right-clicking on desktop>change desktop background. But the photos all shrank to maybe half size on desktop. I used to store my wallpapers in iphoto, so I can process them a lit bit when I want to. I am planning on migrating from iphoto to aperture 3, and I know aperture 3 can do a much better job in processing. But unable to display wallpapers in right size really bothers me. Anybody can help with this? Thanks in advance.

    You might find reading [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3781|Aperture 3: How to optimize Aperture for the best looking slideshow] useful in expanding on what PilotGuy74 has said. Although it's written about slideshows, what they explain there applies to your wallpapers situation too.
    I have already missed the simplicity of iphoto. Maybe aperture is just too pro to me.
    Don't be put off. Aperture is a very complex powerful application - you can't expect to learn how to use it all, all at once. Take it a bit at a time. Learn a little as you go and you'll find that, over time, you will develop your skills with it.
