Develop: copy after to before for multiple photos?

Is there a way to copy after settings to the before settings (that of each photo) for multiple photos?
I find that I forget to do that after editing a photo. Then saving edits back to the file (cmd-S) flushes the before settings. I've been visiting every single photo to copy the 'after' settings to the 'before' settings.
Thanks.

Hi All -- I'm going to ask this question again as the issue continues to vex me.
I'm now using LR 2.2. The changes flushed to a image file (I use DNG) reflect the current 'before settings' in the develop module. In order to get recent develop module changes into the image file, one has to first execute "Copy After's Settings to Before", then save the image settings (cmd-S). That seems totally reasonable.
Here's my problem. I visit lots of images making edits. I don't always remember to "Copy After's Settings to Before" after making edits. In order to determine which image's I've made changes to I step through all my images in the develop module using the before/after view, executing "Copy After's Settings to Before". This is a big hassle. I need a better approach. First I don't always know which images I've edited and I usually don't care anyway. What I want is a macro that will perform "Copy After's Settings to Before" for multiple images. Is there such a feature or is this missing from LR?

Copy after to before for multiple photos?

Frequently I forget to update the 'after' adjustments to the 'before' adjustments for photos I visit. Is there a way to perform 'copy after settings to before settings' for selected photos. It would save me having to manually visit each one by one. My intent is then to save the settings back to the file (for all the selected photos).
Thanks.

Changing metadata for multiple photos at one time

Hi,
Is there a way to change the metadata (ie information) of multiple photos at a single time.
For example, I have a ton of pictures from a vacation. I would like to be able to select all of those photos and add the name of the vacation to all of them.
Thanks,
BT

1) Select all the photos you would like to modify
2) Select Photos->Batch Change
3) Set the drop-down to 'Comments'
Have at it!

Editing Time interval for multiple photos in iPhoto

Is it possible to edit the time of multiple photos in iMovie '08, without editing all of them?

Is it possible to edit the time of multiple photos in iMovie '08, without editing all of them?
Have not checked to see if there have been any recent, new changes, however, the old method was to select and change one photo manually and then select and paste its settings to all of the rest of the photos at once.

Changing white balance for multiple photos

Hello All, and Happy Holidays...
During the holidays I was taking photos at a family gathering, about 125 or so, under tungsten light. I forgot about setting the white balance on the camera to tungsten until half-way through the evening. Is there a way to easily change the colour cast for the initial photos? I'm hoping that there is a "retro" white balance setting since all these images will need the same colour shift. I am using an old old version of photoshop that doesn't have a batch function, though I am waiting for the CS3 - but that could take awhile since its coming through the school.
Thanks in advance!!

SethB:
You can try changing the temperature setting in the Adjust pane of iPhoto to what suits you best. Then click on the copy button (in the Adjust pane) , go to the next photo via the arrow buttons and click on the paste button. That will let you go thru the photos fairly fast applying the same correction to each.
Happy New Year
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries 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.

Help with structuring SQL databases for multiple photo galleries..help!?!

Hello all,
As a new PHP/SQL developer I have found great technical assistance from both this forum and from David Powers and his wonderful books. I am at a crucial point in my web development and although I believe I know which direction I need to go, I am still uncertain and so I appeal to you all for your help, especially David Powers.
The website I am building is one which will house many photo galleries. I was able to successfully modify the code provided in David Powers’ book ‘php Solutions’ so that I got the photo galleries constructed and working in the manner I desired.
That being said, a person browsing my website will be presented with a link to see the photo galleries. There will be five (5) categories in which the photos will be separated, all based on specific styles. Now that I have the galleries working, I need to know how to structure things so that I can create a page, like a TOC (table o’ contents) that shows all photo galleries by displaying a thumbnail image or two along with the description. Perhaps I’ll limit the TOC page to only show the latest 25 galleries, arranged with the most current always on top.
The way I have my galleries set up, I have a separate database for each one, containing the photo filenames and other relevant data. To build my TOC structure, should I have an overall database that contains each gallery database filename along with category? This is where I have no idea what I’m doing so if my question sounds vague, please understand I have no other idea how to ask.
The site will grow to the point of having hundreds, if not thousands of photo galleries. I simply want to know how to (organize them) or otherwise allow me to build a method to display them in a TOC page or pages.
I know this is a bit dodgy, but with some info and questions back from you, I feel confident that I should be able to get my point across.
Lastly, I am still developing this site locally, so I have no links to provide (though I feel that shouldn’t be necessary right now).
Many sincere thanks to you all in advance,
wordman

bregent,
I'm chewing this over in my head, reading up on DB's in 'phpSolutions' and I think that things are slowly materializing.
Here is the structure of the website that I have planned:
MAIN PAGE
User is presented with a link on the main page to select photo galleries (other links are also present). Clicking the link takes them to the Category Page.
CATEGORY PAGE
On this page, the User will then have 5 choices based on categories (photo style). CLicking any of these 5 links will take them to respective TOC pages.
TOC PAGE
On this page, the user is greeted with a vertical list of galleries or photosets; one to three thumbs on the left, a small block of descriptive text on the right (ideally containing date/time info to show how recent the gallery is). Newest galleries appear at the top. Eventually, when there are tens or hundreds of galleries in any given catrgory, I'll need to adopt a method for breaking up the qualntity in groups (we can pick 20 for example) that can be scrolled through using a small navbar. This will keep the TOC Pages from getting endlessly long and avoid endless scrolling. User selects a gallery on this page to view.
THUMBNAIL PAGE
On choosing a gallery, a thumbnail page is generated (I have this working already)
IMAGE PAGE
On selecting any thumbnail in the grid, the user is taken to the full-sized photo with a navbar and photo counter at the top. Navlinks allow forward and back, a link to the first image, a link to the last image and one link back to the thumbnail page. (I have this working already).
I provide this info in an effort to help understand the basic structure of my site. The description above is as close to a step-by-step illustration as possible.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
wordman

Setting up iCloud After iOS 6 for multiple devices and one Apple ID

We have a shared Apple ID for our iTunes Store purchases. We share a Mac, and we share an iPad. Each of us has a separate iPhone.
How should we set up iCloud to enable us to download pics that we take with our iPhone automatically to iPhoto on our shared Mac?
How can we maximize the 5GB space in iCloud?
How can we share calendars if needed so that if I edit an item on my iPhone, it automatically updates it on our Mac and my husband's iPhone?
I want to be able to leverage "Find iPhone" but I guess you can only have one device set to one iCloud account, correct? So if I lose my iPhone, I don't want all of our devices starting to ping at the same time (since the only one I'm trying to find is mine).
Separately, after upgrading to iOS 6, I lost my contacts, and my music. All my text message contacts in current conversations, were changed from the Contact Name to Phone numbers. And all the phone numbers now have a 1 ahead of them, despite the fact that I did not set it up originally like that.
HELP!

How to copy the same address for multiple contacts in Address Book?

Hi! I got a question, I didn't find an answer for yet.
How to copy the post address from one contact to another, without manual entering. I mean if I have one contact with already entered post address, can I just copy it someway at once to another contact?
I don't want cards to merge, I need separate contacts, that may have different phones, e-mails, but the same post address. Please, advise.

Thanks! yes, this is a solution I'm following now. But I was wondering about the similar way as it is made in Daylite or Contactizer - you create company with name and post address first, and then can create a contact for that company. And company name and post address will appear in contact name.
I just wonder why such a simple and useful solution isn't available in Address Book as default.
I know there are many scripts written for Address Book. Maybe there is something for this purpose?

Date and Time adjustments for multiple photos

Hello, thanks for providing the space for new users, and thanks in advance for your assistance.
I am currently moving out of apple aperture/iphoto and across to lightroom 5.
The OCD part of me likes to have my library organized, and I noticed that when I transferred my library across it is in a bit of a mess, so I am currently in the process of organizing the library and cleaning it up (approximately 18000 photos)
Any how, I have almost settled on a folder structure (YYYY/MM - I feel for the number of photos I have trying to nut down to day might be to much - happy to receive advise on this also)
For the most part, the photos have correct date and time from the commencement of the digital era (for me 2006 onwards)
Photos pre 2006 are in negative form, and I am currently in process of having these scanned and imported into library, I have a batch done every month. Adjusting the date and time from the creation date is where I am running into trouble.
I have looked around the web and various forums to no avail.
Firstly, I organize the photos into the correct order. I then select the first photo and the then select the remaining photos. I then select the adjust date/time from the menu and select the first option, adjust to new date and time, lets say 01/01/1990 at 1200 PM.
The result I end up with is the first photo (the more selected photo if correct term) has 01/01/1990 @ 1200 as date and time, the remaining have 01/01/1990 as date (if I am lucky), and the times jump all over the place. Sometimes it wont even change the date time for the remaining photos.
What I am trying to achieve is either the same Date/Time for all the photos when I select a batch, or have them increment in time by a standard amount (i.e 1 minute (1200/1201/1202) or 1 second (1200:00/1200:01/1200:02)), and I just dont seem to be able to work this out to automatically do this, currently I have to achieve this by a manual adjusting each photo (some 200 at a time) which is really labor intensive
Thanks in advance, and hoping an easy solution
Regards
Dean

Thanks, that seemed to fix the problem.
Workflow is:
1) In grid view arrange photos in correct order
2) Rename photos with a name & sequence (i.e. photos-1), this appears to then keep the photos organized as how I had arranged in grid view
3) Export photos & delete original photos from my master library
4) Open exported photos in an EXIF editor and change date & time to a common format (I am currently using the seasons as a guide, i.e. the photos that I recall being taken in spring are dated the first day of spring, using noon as the time)
5) Import back to Lightroom and organizing as per my usual structure.
This has allowed me to easily batch change date and times, keeping the correct order and has drastically reduce my workload, thanks for the suggestion!

How to Develop with ADF Business Components for Multiple Databases

Hi,
I developed business component by http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/multidatabaseapp-085183.html tutorial. it was work on mysql and oracle database. In mysql , Set Up Primary Key Generation is only one sequence share betweeen tables. How to make another sequence each mysql table?

juddi,
As that article states, the built-in capability of ADF BC uses that single table for all entities (tables) - since it's just a surrogate key, it should not matter. If you wanted different sequences for different entities (tables), that is something you'd have to code for yourself.
Best,
John

Copying one .eas file for multiple sprite sheets.

Hi, I've been googling the web trying to find answer to a problem but haven't found a solution yet. Maybe someone here has an idea.
I'm working on a project with Edge Animate CC where I'm creating a multitude of different animated symbols from sprite sheets. The symbols/sprites, which there are a lot of, come in sets, each with a different character wearing different colour clothes. For example, there's one of a man in a white shirt walking, and then the same man in a blue shirt, a red shirt, and so on, and then the same for several other characters. Because each version of each character is the same except for a colour change, I've been trying to create one sprite sheet from Flash CC, make colour edits to the sprite sheet in Photoshop CC, save it with a new name, then import it into Edge Animate using the same spritesheet.
It seems straightforward enough but what I've learned is you can't use an .eas file with spritesheets other than the one it was created with in Flash. When I try it says the .eas file and the image don't match, and to check the paths for both files. When I copy the .eas file and rename it, giving it the same name as the new sprite sheet I want it to work with, I still get the same message. When I open up that .eas file in TextEdit and change the "image" filename in the "meta" section to correspond to that of the new sprite sheet, it still doesn't work. I don't see anything else within the .eas file that would tie it to any particular spritesheet, so between making that change and changing it's filename I would expect the .eas file would work the new sprite sheet.
I know I could create sprite sheets for each colour scheme of each character through Flash, but since they are all identical other than their colour it would save me a ton of time to just copy and edit the sprite sheets. The colour changes are not something I could do within Edge Animate.
Has anyone had similar issues? Any tips?
-A

Hi Medley, Good to see that you are experimenting with the new SpriteSheet feature available in Animate CC 2014.
Some points:
The EAS file format is currently only supported from Flash Pro CC 2014. There are some meta data tags that is read when you bring in an eas type spritesheet and therefore Animate will be able to import only the sprite sheets created from Flash Pro CC using the EAS route.
If you want to use spritesheets from other applications like photoshop, I would recommend that you don't enable the "load an eas file" check-box. In this case the sprite sheet PNG will be the only input that you need to specify in the Import dialog.
In this case you will need to have a sprite-sheet which has the individual sprites that is stacked out in order from left to right and top to bottom. You can then specify the rows and columns and the padding options in the Spritesheet import dialog in animate.
Let me know if this works for you.

I keep getting the same preview image for multiple photos

In my iPhoto Library and some of my folders the same preview image is showing for many of my images. When I enlarge or export those images or folders the correct image shows. Any ideas what is messing with the preview?
Thanks.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Applying the same adjustments to multiple photos

hi guys
apologizes in advance, i dont have the manual handy - is there a way i can copy all the adjustments made on one photo and apply it to another?
thanks

I have run into a problem using the Copy & Paste adjustments for multiple photos. If I Copy the adjustments made to one photo, then paste those adjustments onto other photos, they appear to be applied, however when I tried to upload these photos to Flickr I found that the photos uploaded were the originals, not the adjusted versions. When I went back into iPhoto, selected one of these files in question, and selected "show file" I was shown an un-modified version of the photo stored in the Modified folder.
Once I went back in and adjusted all of the photos manually, they uploaded to Flickr properly and when I selected them in iPhoto and requested "show file" I was shown the midified version, stored in the Modified folder.

Single invoice for multiple payment terms

Hi Friends,
I have given 2 different payment terms for 2 line items in single order and the billing is splitted due to this reason. I want to know where the system is checking this control. Because I want to create single Invoive even the payment terms are different. (The routine 003 under Data VBRK/VBRP in SO to Bill copy controls will be usefull only to create single Invoice for multiple SO's where the payment terms is same). But I need to create single Invoice even for multiple payment terms.
Can anyone suggest me at the earliest please.
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
The Billing Split is take care at Copy control level.
For multiple line items in one single SO, with different Payment terms is not acceptable as per the business logic and its not best practices.
Please suggest the business to go on Split method only.
Or
Try to use Proforma Invoice Concept.

Srini

Multiple photos per page not working :( Please help

I see the option for multiple photos per page. It was available 5 minutes ago but now is grayed out and I can not get it back. This is very annoying. Can someone tell me why iPhoto won't let me print multiple photos on the same sheet?
Thanks

Remember that we know nothing except what you tell us - that it is not working is not much
The most common reason that print multiple photos per page is grayed out is that you either have a photo size/paper size combination that will not fit multiple photos (ie trying to print 2 8x10 photos on an 8 1/2 x 11 paper) or you have not selected but one photo
If these do not help please give us some more detail on what you are doing
