Dates of images different (incorrect) when viewed in Finder to iPhoto

I want to give to family some images (stills [JPEG] + video [AVI] - all taken on my Pentax camera) to view on their Windows computers. The dates within iPhoto display correctly in the 'Information' window on the left whenever I click on an image. However, whenever I view these same images in Finder (either having 'Exported' the images to a "holding" folder in my Documents folder, or I simply view these same images in iPhoto Library via Finder), the dates are different (incorrect), and there is no consistent pattern in the 'differing' dates. Some images' dates in Finder are vastly different to the date & time the images were shot, and other images display just a few days difference in the dates(?!).
The historical dating of the family images is important for the future, so I really want to be sure that the dates will display correctly for the people viewing the images on their windows computers. As they obviously won't be using iPhoto I would hope that it will still show the correct date when they view the individual stills and raw video footage (not sure how they will view it, but presume I will burning these images to a DVD to share with them). *Can someone advise me if dates of the images will be correct when viewed on the Windows computers?*
Cheers,
Lehla

You are confusing the photo date which is part of the iPhoto database and is stored in the EXIF fields of the photo when exported and the file date which is what the finder other file management programs see
As long as you view the photo EXIF dates they will be the same inside of iPhoto and outside of iPhoto - the file date will change each time you create a new file

After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
will appreciate any advise. Thanks

Is it possibe to return to a RAW image and edit it once I've exported it to another location as jpeg?
Yes
I've edited and exported an image to a different folder on my desktop. I've realised I still need to do some work on it
but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library) I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

Photo Orientation Incorrect When Viewing MobileMe

I've tried to find a solution to this by searching other posts. What I've found is this is not a new problem. I have two AppleTVs and I have the same problem on both units.
But this is the real oddity. The photos not only display correctly orientated when viewed through a browser on both a Mac and iPhone (as well as the MyGallary app), but they also display correctly on AppleTV when previewing (as they carousel) while in the applicable onscreen navigation menus, and when they are displayed as a screen saver set to "Floating". However, if directly viewing in slideshow or when the screen saver is set to "Slideshow" the orientation is all messed up. And the current photos I'm view where also all taken with an iPhone and uploaded directly to the users MobileMe account.
And on top of all that, when I viewed the first 4-5 photos on AppleTV (now up to 15 photos) they displayed in the correct orientation. Now some of those that did display correctly are messed up.
How can the preview and floating screensaver correctly display the photos, they have a wrong orientation when in slide show. Again, this is on two aTVs. Seriously, there have only been Apple devices and Apple services used - this is should not be happening.
I've have this problem in the past on both aTVs, but the pictures where taken with a Canon and uploaded to mobileme from an iMac. I figured it was a minor inconvenience and that Apple would resolve this in subsequent updates - this was over a year ago.
The only thing I've tried to do so far is to delete the user's MobileMe account and then re-added - nothing corrected.
Oh, and the software is up to date on both units.

Updating the information regarding photo orientation with AppleTV screen saver.
Clear instructions: Click on photo in iPhoto, then go to File, choose 'Reveal in Finder', select 'Original File'. A window opens up where the original photo file is held. Open the photo in Preview. Rotate photo as needed. Close and save. You are done. Restart your AppleTV and turn your photos on and off to share in iTunes. Ta Da, it all works and it's very easy.
Hope this is helpful.

IWeb and .Mac images are dark when viewed with PCs--how to fix?

I do my Photo editing in iPhoto on an iMac or an iBook, and the images look fine. Once posted to a .Mac or iWeb page, they still look fine on my Mac monitors, but when viewed on PCs and PC laptops, they are MUCH darker... The sites look terrible. The brightness on the nonMac monitors is turned up already.
Is there something special I should do to get images to appear correctly on nonMac machines?

Thanks for the responses. This has been a problem for a couple of years and this is real advice! I even had this problem with a book published through Apple. Anyway...
I didn't follow Barbara advice (OK, I'm slow, but I couldn't quite figure out where the gamma setting was), but I did use Falcon01's suggestion to use the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile.
I then reviewed and re-edited the relevant pictures. In this case, they are pictures of my girlfriend's condo she is trying to rent (mostly slightly off-white walls (aren't they all?) and dark, rich parquet flooring.) First, the pictures were darker, and I could adjust the exposure to much brighter, which helped a great deal. It did, however, introduce lots of color artifacts (pinkish blotchy walls). I drastically reduced the saturation which (good) made the walls look fairly normal, but (bad) made the rich wood flooring look drab and grayish. For this purpose, this will be satifactory--the pictures now at least are bright enough to not look dark and dank, and people can see what the rooms look like.
When I try this on important pictures of people and such, this approach makes me nervous. Most pictures will look awful if I boost expsoure and drain the color out. How do others handle this? Thanks in advance. BTW, here is the revised web site if interested.

In VI Logger, Beginning Of Data button doesn't work when viewing graphs

This button doesn't work correctly when I view logged data. Instead of jumping to the beginning, it jumps to beyond the end of the data. The other 3 buttons work fine (scroll forward and backward and go to end of data).

In order to provide a better answer, it would help if you could post the version of VI Logger you have (if you are not sure, you can find this out in Measurement & Automation Explorer under the Software folder) as well as the operating system you are using.
I am running VI Logger v1.1 on a Windows XP machine and the four buttons all work properly when viewing the graph of logged data. There is a known issue where the behavior you saw, with the "Beginning of Data" button not working, has appeared on a system that runs a German OS. If you are running a comparable OS then this behavior might occur and there is currently no fix for it.
If this is not the case for you then try to provide a little more information on your system and we can look into it further. T
hank you!

Image Still Cropped When Viewed Full Screen

Hi everyone. I am trying to figue out if there is any way in iBooks Author to have an image cropped(masked) in layout view, but then enable it to show the full unmasked and uncropeed image when tapped to be viewed full screen on the iPad.
I have a client that wants some image to only take up half a page vertically and have a widescreen type crop with text on the lower half of the page, but would like to see the full image when tapped on instead of the widescreen crop. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Griffin

Are you meaning to put a 100 pt+ line border on the image
Yes. Like this:
(1)
(2) Then do this:
(3)
Which should then result in that image being zoomed too large and just enough so that the original black border is clipped and you are able to see the image in all it's fullness.

Occasional message "No data to fetch in query" when viewing a webi report

I am currently working on an exising business Object 3.1 install in which the only user able to access the data in a universe is the Administrator. Permission on all universes and related connection grant data access and view objects permission to all users. Even members of the administrators group are unable to acess data in the webi reports.
If another member of the administrator imports the Universe with Designer and trie to view a list of values they get the message `No sdata to Fetch` but can see table values. Consequently the only user to be able to use the reports is the administrator. I am wondeing if the universe were saved without the `save for all users` box ticked before exporting.
I am now out of ideas and waiting to hear from someone with a few,
Thanks for all help in advance.

Hi PG, No allusers regardless of which group they belong to receive the same message "No data to fetch on query". We were led to believing that the problem is on te Universe level because all users except adminisrtator also get the message when trying to display a list of values, but they can see the data if they click on the "Show table Values". I should also mention that when users try to refresh a webi report they can see and refresh lists of value from the prompt but still get that error message.
Because of the contradictory nature of these symptoms, everyone here is totally confused and we are starting to suspect that it may be some kind of security setup at the database level.

HT1040 I am just about to order a 92 page book in Aperture and have previewed the order and found that in the PFD file I get all the pages are now different. Double page spreads are now on 2 different pages when viewed in 2 up continuous mode in Adobe Rea

I am just about to order quite an expensive 92 page large size book in Aperture & have used the Preview button and on viewing the book in the PDF using the 2 up continuous viewing mode I find that the page arrangement is all wrong with double page spreads now on separate pages and all my carefully designed pages in the wrong places. Will the book actually get printed like this? Regards,Keith

How did you create the preview of the book? It will look exactly like shown, when you press "Buy Book", then "Preview Book". This will open the Preview of you book in the "Preview" application. Set this to "Two-page mode". Then you should be able to see your double page spreads correctly, like here:

AME Exported Videos show transparency differently than when viewed in Premiere Pro!

This is kind of hard to explain but basically AME does not seem to treat 99% opaque as 99%...instead the exported file looks more like 90-95% opaque. If you have 2 clips (contrasting clips are easier to notice) on top of each other in Premiere and the top clip is at 99% opaque and the clip beneath it is at 100%, in Premiere you can hardly see the bottom clip, if at all. At 99%, that's how it should be. Just barely peeking through the top clip...
BUT...
If you export that clip using AME, the resulting clip will look completely different and it looks more like you had the top clip set at 90-95%. The lower clip is MUCH more visible. There is not "barely peeking through" like you see on Premiere. It appears that AME does not handle transparency well. For example if you cross dissolve two clips. It looks fine in Premiere but export it out to Bluray/DVD, etc. and all of a sudden, sometimes the beginnings and ends of the clip abruptly clip on or off as they fade into the clip. Again, it's like they go from 5% to 95% but miss out on the subtle start of 1-5% and the subtle ending of 95-99%.
There is a thread about this in the Premiere section but I figured I'd toss it here since it seems Premiere handles/shows the transparency perfectly, but the issue arises when it's exported. To really define the point see the following clip that another user posted in that thread I just mentioned. Notice how the cross dissolves abruptly start and end sometimes. I noticed this in my exported videos too because I use LOTS of cross dissolves. It's easier to notice on more contrasted clips, but I think this illustrates the issue really well.
https://vimeo.com/14536285
Again, I just edited a project that had 2 clips stacked on top of each other and I accidentally had the top clip at 99%. I didn't even notice it in Premiere. You really cannot see the bottom layer peeking through...well, barely. But it's really subtle which makes sense because the top layer is at 99%. But on my exported Bluray/DVD...holy cow, it's VERY noticable! Almost as if the top clip were at 90%, not 99 (no exaggeration).
I don't see a BUG Report for Adobe Media Encoder so I submitted a bug report in Premiere Pro.
Can any one (staff preferably) address this issue please?

Thanks for the response Todd. Is there a way to get around this GPU vs. CPU thing you mentioned? If not, is there a way to export from Premiere (to DVD/Bluray/Vimeo H.264) without using Adobe Media Encoder or export somehow so that dissolves and opacity changes are handled the same way that Premiere handles them so that the exported video doesn't look suddenly different? (I'm on a 2011 iMac with 16gb RAM and the AMD Radeon 6970M Graphics Processor) Basically, am I screwed and there's no current way having these issues with transparency that I mentioned above?
Here, by the way, is the thread I mentioned that has to do with cross dissolves. I figured it was just an issue with that specific transition until I just now did this export with a 99% opaque clip on top of another clip and the resulting export looks more like an 85-90% opaque clip.

'image not available' when viewing ebay auctions. I can view auctions if I go through Windows Explorer. Using Firefox 3.6 & Windows XP. Please assume that I know Jack and at the same time that I don't know Jack when it comes to computers

I can't see any auction photos. Please be specific in any paths that I need to take to fix, like the LOCATION of each step of the way. Thanks

Even though the "option Load Images Automatically was checked, I had to uncheck and save the choice then go back and check it again before I could see eBay images.

How do I sort by date with oldest first in icon view in Finder?

In Finder, when I view "As Icons", and "Keep Arranged" by "Date Created", it sorts them in reverse date order with the most recent first. But if I try to check the "Date Created" option again over this already checked option, it doesn't ever sort in ascending date order with the oldest first. Is there any way to sort with oldest first?

If you ever find the answer, I'd love to know as well. How odd is it that you can do this. I tried several searches for this in software hacks, and applications that let you alter icon views and the like. Can't believe the limited interest in correcting it either.
I was looking for a way to display screen shots of various jpeg elements with files names that double as instructions in a tutorial. Icon view allowed me to see pictures in a large enough size to use as instructions with the corresponding file names. All I would have had to do was screen shots assembled into a PDF and I would have been done. Having to retype every instruction along with copy, and pasting into a new document and so forth is more than double the work for any set of pictorial instructions.
Maybe Garage Band or some other application is the workaround until then. I'll let you know if I ever find a better workaround, or the solution.

Will images be dupliated when imported from Photoshop into iphoto?

I have a simple question really, I use photoshop CS3 to edit and catalogue all my photos but I use iphoto to store images that I upload to .mac gallery and other websites.
What I need to know is, does iphoto duplicate my copy in photoshop when I import it into the app?. Or is there just one location where both apps access it??I don't really want two copies of an image if I can help it! Thanks.

I suggest you use iPhoto to manage your photos with a "managed" library and use Photoshop as your editor from within iPhoto. That way you get the best of both worlds.
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

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. 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 now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

User library has disappeared when viewing with finder

I saved a Pages file as a template and it saved it in user/library/application support/iwork/templates/my templates. When I try to follow this path with Finder there is no library folder under my user name.
Any ideas?

Thanks from me too.
After noticing it missing in the finder, I checked the terminal and found the ~Library where it should be. Thought I'd check to see if anyone else was missing it, and if it could/should be made visible; but why the "@"? I thought that stood for symbolic link.

When viewing an Event in iPhoto, I can't get back to library

I am stuck in an event and I can't get back to the library. Sometimes I have a button on the top left "All Events" but often it is not there. I do not have the menu on the left to click back to the library.
Please help!

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences (user ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iphoto.plist
and restart iPhoto - reset any preferences you may have changed (they will be set to the default now)

IPhoto 11 Faces and Dates are incorrect when synced to iPad/iPod

iPhoto 11, "Faces" and file creation dates appear to work perfectly when viewed within iPhoto 11 on my MacBook Pro. However, a few dozen Faces and creation dates appear incorrectly and out of chronological sequence when viewed on my iPad or iPod. I have rebuilt my iPhoto 11 library several times and re-synced to the iPad/iPod, but the problem persists. Anyone having the same issue or happen to know of a solution? Thanks in advance.

iPhoto Version 9.5.1 (902.17)
It was moved to the library by being imported from an NTFS external hard drive, which has now been reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled), the iPhoto library was originally located on the built in SSD drive, but is now located on an external hard drive, due to capacity limitations.
I am seeing the incorrect face orientations when I view the faces in the faces view of iPhoto, when I go onto a person, some are incorrect orientation.
But when I click on the files, they are correct.
|
They are also incorrect using photo screen savers.
(These images are for demo purposes only, and the issue is not limited to the photos shown).
