Difference between Events and Albums

Hi everybody!!
can someone explain to me the difference when I am using Iphoto between creating an event versus creating an album? In my case the albums that I currently have come from the events. It feels like i am having two pictures at the same time, one stored at albums and one stored in events
I noticed when i plug my Iphone, I can select the albums I want to download to my Iphone, but besides this...arent they the same?...I want to know how each one functions and its purpose
thanks

An Event is simply a folder of images on your Hard Drive. When you import the pics iPhoto splits them into Events based on the date the pic was taken. They have limited organisation capability - date and time only.
For a pic to be in two Events then there needs to be two copies of the file on the HD
Albums are virtual things. There is no corresponding folder on the HD. A pic can be in 100 albums and require no extra copies of the file on the HD. You can organise your albums in pretty much any way you can think of. You can go by date - rather pointless - or by theme: All our Dog pics, all or kids pics etc. You can use Smart Albums and keywords to automate that process. One of the best and easiest uses is to rate the pics and then make a Smart Album for 5 star pics: then you have all your favourite pics easily found.
Albums can be put into Folders, Events cannot. Albums can be sorted internally, Events can only be sorted by date and time. Albums are much more flexible organisational tools than Events.

  • Difference between Events and Photos

    I'm an iMac noob, so bear with me I just moved 12,000 photos from my PC to Mac, all good.
    Can anyone simply explain the difference between "Events" and "Photos"? When I click on "Photos", it seems to open every folder of photos I moved over, is there any way to collapse all of these without having to collapse each individually?
    I am trying to organize folder and albums, a big task...but trying to figure out the difference between "Events" and "Photos" and the purpose/usage/advantage of each. They seem to be somewhat of a duplication.
    Nobody said the pc to mac migration would be simple...
    Thanks in advance.

    in the photo view to the left of each "event title" there is a little gray triangle - depress the option key and click it - all events will open or close with the click

    THey are different ways of viewing your photo library and can have different sorts (view menu => sort) and in photos view you can turn off event titles so you have one giant bucket of photos sorted as you requested
    And you probably should look at keywords and smart albums as an organization aid too

  • What's the difference between photos and albums

    I'm trying to figure out what the difference between photos and albums is on my ipad 'photos' programme.
    What I'm really trying to do is to delete photos from my phone so that I'm not going over 5GB on my icloud and I don't want to lose them, so I'm checking to see where they are stored on ipad.

    Hello julian
    As far as what iCloud backs up, it is backing up the photos and videos in the Camera Roll. If you want to ensure that your pictures are backed up, then follow the steps in the last article to import them to your computer. One thing to note is that you cannot import your albums that you create. If those photos are not in your camera roll, import the photos to your camera roll.

  • What's the difference between tags and albums

    I've always used tags, I don't really understand why you would use albums instead of tags.
    Say I've got pictures of birds, I would apply the Bird tag.
    Where exactly do albums come in?

    Another thing to keep in mind with the differences between albums and tags.
    Both albums and tags are stored in the catalogs.
    Tags can be also stored in the picture files themselves; they can be accessed form your OS or other applications. They are still available if the catalog is missing or corrupt. The organizer does only 'write metadata' to files if you specifically issue this command. On the other hand, albums can't be saved in the files themselves. They are kinds of  'playlists' which can only be stored in catalogs. That's why it is important to backup regularly. The standard backup process saves the catalogs as well as the image files; if you use an external backup system, include the catalog folder (found with Menu Help/System information) as well in your backup procedure.

  • Difference between "Artist" and "Album Artist"?

    Hi
    I'm wondering why in the iTunes browser there is a field for "Album Artist" and a field for "Artist"?
    Aren't they referring to the same thing?
    Thank you.

    No. Some albums have various artists. For example, I have +Satin Doll: Smooth Jazz Plays Duke Ellington+. For album artist, I have "Various," but for each song I have the primary performer of that song as the artist. Album views come up Various, while songs come up with the artist. It's good for grouping tracks. Also, some people like to included featured guests in the Artist field, but having the Album Artist consistent helps with various views in iTunes and on the iPod.

  • How to quickly compare photos in events and albums?

    Hi there,
    Was wondering - I have a ton of photos from several years in my iphoto events/general photos, of which the good ones are arranged neatly into iphoto albums.
    Problem is, I want to clean up my iphotos and get rid of all the extra photos that aren't very good and didn't make it into an album. In other words, if the photo was worth keeping, it's already in an album, so I just want to delete everything from my events that's not in an album. However, is there any easy way to go through the events and find out which photos are already in an album so that I can delete them if they aren't? I understand that if I delete photos from events, it will also delete it from the album, so that makes it really annoying and tricky.
    It would take so, so long to go through every single photo and flip back and forth between events and albums to see which ones are in albums and which ones aren't. From what I can tell (unless I'm wrong), I can't even open two windows of iphoto so I can compare side by side.
    If anyone knows a solution, I would be very grateful.
    Thanks,
    Tracy

    File -> New Smart Album
    Album -> Is not -> Any
    will find them for you.
    Option-command-delete will move them to the trash
    Empty the iPhoto trash.
    Empty the System trash and they are gone.
    One tip: delete in batches of about 100 or so. Deleting more at a time can cause problems.

  • Difference between action and event

    Hi
    while creating an action, we will find action & event handler.  What is the difference between Action and event.  If anyone provide with examples, it will be helpful for me.
    regards,
    vijaya.

    HI,
    In simple words we can put it as..IF you need any user interaction.. i.e. if your logic is based upon how user interact with your application then use Action..
    e.g. Buttons, dropdown UI elements...etc..
    Means actions are act between user and your application.
    But your application not only communicate with user.But also communicate with server too.
    so to communicate with server you need and Event
    Note. In Web Dynpro, events are called actions if they are sent from the client to the server.

  • Difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me the difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Actually OK_CODE and SY-Ucomm are the same. But experts suggest use of OK code for following reason:
    In each PAI event that a user triggers by choosing either a pushbutton on the screen or an element in a GUI status, the corresponding function code is placed into the system field SYST-UCOMM or SY-UCOMM and placed in the OK_CODE field (as long as the function code is not empty). Empty function codes are placed in neither the SY-UCOMM field nor the OK_CODE field.
    In your ABAP programs, you should work with the OK_CODE field instead of SY-UCOMM. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the ABAP program has full control over fields declared within it, and secondly, you should never change the value of an ABAP system field. However, you should also always initialize the OK_CODE field in an ABAP program for the following reason:
    In the same way that the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program and the system field SY-UCOMM receive the contents of the corresponding screen fields in the PAI event, their contents are also assigned to the OK_CODE screen field and system field SYST-UCOMM in the PBO event. Therefore, you must clear the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program to ensure that the function code of a screen is not already filled in the PBO event with an unwanted value. This is particularly important when the next PAI event can be triggered with an empty function code (for example, using ENTER). Empty function codes do not affect SY-UCOMM or the OK_CODE field, and consequently, the old field contents are transported.

  • What is difference between Iterator and Collection Wrapper?

    Hi all,
                  I dont understand the actual difference between Iterator and Collection Wrapper. I observed both are used for the same purpose. Could any one please let me know when to use Collection Wrapper and when to use Iterator??
    Thanks,
    Chinnu.

    L_Kiryl is right.
    Collections support global iteration (through collection->get_next( )) and local iteration (through iterator->get_next( )).
    Each collection has a focus object. Initially, the first object has the focus.
    Any global iteration moves the focus, which is published by the event FOCUS_CHANGED of the collection.
    If you want to iterate on the collection without moving the focus (and without triggering timeconsuming follow-up processes) you can use local iteration. To do so, request an iterator object from the collection and use this to iterate.
    And one more advantage of using iterator: it takes care of deleted entities. If you use global iteration then when you reach deleted entity it will be an exception. But there is no exception with iterator in the same situation.

  • Difference between DOM and SAX

    Difference between DOM and SAX

    a sax parser is event driven meaning it processes the xml as it sees it and then forgets about it.
    you have to implement what you want the parser to do wants it reaches a certain event
    dom on the other hand keeps the whole structure of the message in memory as a tree.
    so there are strengths and weaknesses in both.
    you have to evaluate what you need

  • What's the difference between jsp and jsf?

    who can tell me what's the difference between jsp and jsf?
    I'm puzzled when I found some of the technology in jsp is so similar to the ones in jsp( javaserver page)

    Hi,
    Find the difference between JSP and JSF
    1. A developer has more control with JSP, but (should) get easier development with JSF
    2. Event handling is done differently in JSP (HTTP) and JSF (Java)
    3. The UI is designed differently (or should be at least) with JSP (markup) and JSF (components).
    4. The end product should also be defined differently - JSP page versus a JSF application.
    Is this the only thing that is need to make a decision for either or? Probably not. There are other pieces that need to be taken in account when deciding which technology to use - tools support, enough components, type of application etc.... At this point there are not enough JSF components (although there are some interesting projects underway - Ajaxfaces, Myfaces, ADF Faces, and WebChart 3d) and enterprise tools support is still limited to a few tools vendor. Looking at our ADF Faces components they are currently available as early access (not production) and demands for these components are stacking up, literally, outside my office doorstep. Although I would love to make them production - now! - it is not a viable solution since we are still checking features and fixing critical bugs.
    All this combined - not enough enterprise level components in production, lacking tools support etc... - leave customers in a vacuum where the decision is either to continue with JSP, since it is mature and has a wide developer base, or move forward with JSF not sure if the support, or the developers will be there. This is particularly sensitive to customers that need to get started now and be production by summer.
    If you are in this vacuum here are some key points promoting JSF:
    1. Fundamental unit is the Component
    2. Built in event and state management
    3. Component sets can be provided by any vendor
    4. Closer to ASP.Net or Swing development
    5. Choice of UI technology
    6. Scale up (rich clients)
    7. Scale down (mobile devices)
    8. Built into J2EE containers in J2EE 5.0 (tentative)

  • Difference between BAPI and IDocs

    hello all
    what is difference between BAPI and IDocs

    Hi,
    BAPI
    One of the big plusses for BAPIs is that the interface and function are not supposed to change.  This is a big plus when you do upgrades or hot packs because the transaction can change (format, required inputs etc) which means you then need to update the call transaction.
    Some of the BAPIs are better documented and easier to use than others. You usually need to perform the BAPI that actually does the COMMIT after you call your BAPI.
    The Program coding for calling a BAPI is usually cleaner than setting up the screen flow etc for the Call Transaction.
    You don't need to worry about special data circumstances interrupting the normal data flow of the screens and causing errors because of that.
    BAPIs probably have better performance since they don't do the screen flow processing.
    In general if the BAPI exists for the transaction you want to perform and you can figure out how to use it the BAPI is probably the best way to go.
    BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
    IDOC
    IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed.   Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
    asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
    While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
    The philosophical difference between EDI and ALE can be pinned as follows: If we send data to an external partner, we generally speak of EDI, while ALE is a mechanism to reliable replicate data between trusting systems to store a redundant copy of the IDoc data.   The difference is made clear, when we think of a purchase order that is sent as an IDoc. If we send the purchase order to a supplier then the supplier will store the purchase order as a sales order. However, if we send the purchase order via ALE to another R/3 system, then the receiving system will store the purchase order also as a purchase order.

  • Move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom using PS Elements to keep Events and Albums

    I am trying to move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom by using PS Elements as a go-between to keep events and album but it doesn't appear that the option to keep events and albums is possible using iPhoto '11.  However, the instructions for coming from iPhoto '09 show that option.  Is there any way to do this?

    I’m not sure about that routine. I’m not even sure events are transferrable and there of lots of things that could go wrong. You may want to think about importing your masters directly into Ligtroom. From finder you need to be in Pictures (not the application) and control-click on iPhoto Library.
    iPhoto will have created duplicates and hidden your originals. You need to find your masters from the iPhoto Library - Right-Click and select “Show Package Contents”
    Older versions of iPhoto uses an Originals folder and in later versions; Masters. It’s not a good idea to go messing with the structure as it could corrupt the iPhoto Library. Apple has made this structure for good reason; so that you can always use the revert command to go back to an original, even if you have edited in iPhoto using cropping or red eye removal, for example.
    However, if you have no further use for iPhoto, you could consider moving your originals/masters to a new folder structure (iPhoto automatically creates dated sub-folders) and then importing to Lightroom. Alternatively if you still need iPhoto, export duplicates to the desktop and bring those into Lightroom. That will keep iPhoto safe.
    I do actually use iPhoto for creating events which can then be used to make cool slideshows within iPhoto. However Lightroom is my main management and photo editing tool and I have created an export pre-set for sending jpegs into iPhoto. I have even dragged the iPhoto Library off the hard drive to an external hard drive – but that means keeping it connected when using iPhoto.
