Drag drop photo import to aperture folder why auto new project folder appear .

i do import photos from desktop to folder that i want in the aperture libary . as soon as i drag and drop photos automatically new peoject folder appear in the libabry as name untitled project.. why? i dont want that new project folder. i try to delete that folder and my picture all automatically deleted from library.
also if i try to delete photos from preject folder .. it completely deleted from master library .. picture will be lost.. why?
i drag and move pictures to brand new album or folder .. then try to delete wanted project folder - master picture are all gone.
now i have at least 30-40 of untitled project folder in the library ... pictrure are not movable i meant you can move but u still have to keep old project folder to avoid master picture can not be deleted ...
someone help me? did i make myself clear?

You might read the manual or the Help as this is all covered there.
If you want to import to a specific project use the File -> Import option. You can select your destination there.
Every photo in a Library is in a project. Projects are the basic building block of the Library. That's why.
Folders don't contain photos. They can contain Projects or Albums. These contain photos. Albums don't contain the actual photos, just links to them. So if you add a photo to an Album and then delete the project... you delete the photo.
Remember: you don't move photos to an Album, you add them.

Can't drag & drop photos from iPhoto to Finder.

(I'm using iPhoto 9.4.2, mac OS 10.8.3)
I can drag & drop photos from iPhoto to the Finder once. It successfully copies however many photos I had selected to the folder I wanted them copied to. But then if I try to drag and drop any more photos, it won't let me - the cursor has a red bubble for qty. of photos and a gray NO symbol (circle with a line through it) where the Copy symbol should be (green bubble with plus sign in it).
Don't want to do the "Export" feature - I want to drag & drop.
Tried restarting iPhoto. Tried restarting my computer. Software is all up to date.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Sorry - but that is not currently an option - drag and drop (which is not a good way under any conditions since you have no control and simply get the preview of the photo) is either broken or has been removed - in any case no matter what you want it is not an option
The only current option (maybe the only long term option - no one here knows) is to export - this is equally as easy and gives you total control of the quality of the exported photos, the metadata included and is much easier to place photos within a finder folder structure

Dragging images into Aperture (without creating a new Project)

Hi All.
I am trying to pump out a slideshow and I am (in some cases) dragging an image from a desktop folder into a ALBUM in Aperture in which I want the photo. This Album is in a FOLDER with the name of the slideshow along with a number of other Albums in which I am organizing data for this project.
Aperture is creating a new Project in this folder every time I do this. They are labeled "Untitled Project", "Untitled Project(1)" etc. If I delete the Projects then the image is deleted from the Album that I want it in.
Is there a convenient solution for this? In some cases the image is already in Aperture but I don't have the time to go hunting for it and in fact it may not be int there.
Can I somehow create a "Dump Project" that will accept all these new images so that I don't clutter up the space with all the new Projects? Would I do this by dragging and dropping the individual images that are in each of these Projects to the Dump Project?
Any advice that doesn't involve switching out horses would be really welcome.
Thanks in advance!
- Jon

You can't import to an Album, only to a project. Every pic in the Library is in a project. It has to be. If you drag to an Album it will make new project to hold the file. So, don't drag to an Album, make a project and drag to that.

Why can't I drag & drop photos to my email anymore?

The old IPhoto let me just drop and drag a photo onto the bottom part of my e-mail screen (gmail) and it would -boom- just upload as an attachment. I didn't have to open up the attachments folder finder and waste time. I updated my MacBook the other day and now with the new Photos, this function is no longer possible. Why? Do I have to change a setting or something?
Thanks

Simply use the Share feature of Photos
Use Mail to share photos
You can use Mail to email photos directly from Photos. When you use Mail to send photos in an email, Photos sends it from the first account listed in your Mail preferences. If you have other email accounts set up in Mail preferences, you can select which email account to send the email from when you send it.
Tip: If you have many files or large files to send, you can use Mail Drop to send them. You must have an iCloud account to use Mail Drop. You can use Mail Drop to send attachments up to 5 GB in size right from Mail on your Mac, or from icloud.com/mail on your Mac or PC. All file types are supported and attachments don’t count against your iCloud storage.
Select the photos you want to send.You can send photos from your photo library or an album, but not from a slideshow or a project (such as a book, card, or calendar).
Click the Share button in the toolbar and choose Mail.Mail opens a mail message with your photos attached.
Type the recipient’s email address in the To field, then type a subject line in the Subject field.
Type a message if you want, then click Send.

Problem drag/dropping photos to other Apps (e.g. PowerPoint).

I just got a new camera (FujiFilm FinePix S5700) and the photos from this camera can't be drag/dropped to other apps. If I try it I get the error message "Quick Time and a Tiff decompressor are needed to see this picture"
That puzzles me because the file info shows the pictures as being jpeg files. If I export the photos somewhere else I can drag/drop them into other apps, but not directly from IPhoto. I have had photos from two other cameras and have not had this problem. Any ideas?

Craig:
Try this test. Import a photo from the camera to the desktop first and then import into iPhoto. Now see if that photo can be dragged into another app. They do have a jpg extension on the file name, right?
Happy Holidays
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.

How to preserve order of photos imported from Aperture

I've imported my Aperture library into LR.
The process went generally fine, however I'm unable to figure out how to get the original image order.
I was using custom ordering for Aperture's "projects" and "slideshows". Both got translated to collections, however the image order doesn't seem to be preserved. This is crucial feature for slideshows...
Does the import plugin translate the Aperture order into the Lightroom "Custom Order" ?
If not, what would be the suggested way to restore the proper image order in slideshows?

When you select a collection the tool bar above the filmstrip lets you reverse the order by clicking the A/Z symbol. It also has a drop-down menu to the right of sort. You can choose a number of options. But the beauty of collections is that you can drag thumbnails around into any order. They then remain fixed in your own user order. Useful for slideshows, web galleries etc.

Can't Drag & Drop Photos to Collections

I have searched the entire knowledge base for this and no luck.
I cannot select the desired photos (1 or more pics) I have in Grid View or the Slidebar, and drag+drop them onto either a Folder or an existing Collection.
When I left click over the photo and drag it, the pointer indicates I have successfully picked the group up, but when I hold it over the Collection or Folder, the pointer icon turns into the international "NO" symbol and wo't let me drop the photos into it.
I cannot find any other way to move a photo into the Collections.
I have this problem in Bridge as well, interestingly, which only lets me click on a file or sellected groug, then copy, then paste into the desired folder.
Please help.

Thanks but that hasn't worked.
I just get a "No" symbol while I hold the captured photo over anything in the Left Panel.
I can't seem to find a way to get Adobe to respond back to me about this. This prodct is a month old and this feature hasn't worked. I have not found on the Adobe website where it says you have X-amount of days of free product support but there must be. Their website seems to take you everywhere but where I need to go for the simple solution to this problem.

Can't drag & drop photos within an album in iPhoto6

I can't change the order of photos in an album by dragging. Looking at the other posts, I've fixed the Helvetica bug several times (by re-activating the font in Fonts Book) but it still doesn't work. When trying to drag, the photo will migrate to a strange place within the album, or not at all. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your replies, TD. They are ordinary albums. I haven't made any smart albums yet. It's strange, sometimes when I'm trying to relocate a photo I'll see the cursor flash in another place on the page and the photo will migrate there. Sometimes there are no cursors at all.

Images are missing in Aperture v2.1.4 after Project folder is renamed.

I was working with a batch of pictures (images) in Aperture the other day. Opening new projects and renaming some old projects. All to add some meaning to the content of the Projects. I had 150 pictures (images) in a "Colorado" project folder and decided to rename the project to "Colorado 2011". Looked for the images in "Colorado 2011" to make an album and there are no more pictures. All have disappeared.
Can everyone tell me how to recover the pictures (images)??

I would have said "Try renaming the folder containing the images in Rh's Project Manager. That sometimes fixes the problem. You can revert to the old name afterwards."
Keeping all the images, and / or topics, in the root is never a good idea. It can slow things down and it's messy.
You can move the images you can see but obviously you cannot move the others. Try moving a topic that has one of the images to a different folder and see if that refreshes. Also try deleting the CPD file and reopening Rh.
Backup first.

How to reference a folder/file outside from project folder

Hi All,
I have two extensions which wants to share some code(files) placed in a folder outside from source directory.
for a simple case see the below example.
created a sample extension HelloWorld whose project structure are as follows
HelloWorld
     ExtensionContents
          lib/CSInterface-4.0.0.js
          jsx/InDesign.jsx
          HelloWorld.jsx
          index.html.
I have another folder say "sharedAssets" it contains two images "Orange.gif and pear.gif" which is at same location where HelloWorld and now folder structure becomes
HelloWorld > ExtensionContents
sharedAssets > Orange.gif
                         pear.gif
I have added linked resource folder see the attached screenshot
I have written following line of codes in index.html
<body onLoad="onLoaded()">
<div id="content">
<ul>
<li><img src="Orange.gif" width="42" height="42"/></li>
<li><img src="shared/pear.gif"/></li>
</ul>
</div></body>
but when I opened the extension then it failed to load Orange.gif and pear.gif,
Please let me know how I could reference an image placed in a folder outside from project folder.
Regards,
Alam

Hi Alam,
I don't use Eclipse / EB myself so I can be of no help in the way you set an alternate location folder there.
I've looked in the MXI reference but it seems there's no token equivalent to the "parent folder of all extensions" i.e.
/Users/Davide/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions
or whatever it will be in the future. This is where Extension Manager puts stuff when the MXI is something like:
<file   source="HTML/com.example.helloworld.zxp"
        destination=""
        file-type="CSXS"
        products="Photoshop,Photoshop32,Photoshop64"
        minVersion="14.0" />
that is, destination is blank, file-type is "CSXS".
I've never tried to put there stuff other than ZXP - you can give it a try.
An alternative escamotage could be to use an external folder, which path token exists both in MXI land *and* in (CSInterface or ExtendScript).
That is, a place Extension Manager installs your shared content; which path can be reached from the panel or the JSX.
As an example $userdatafolder/alam/shared in MXI, and Folder.userData/alam/shared in JSX, or SystemPath.USER_DATA/alam/shared in JS.
There are other product specific tokens (Photoshop Script folder for instance) where you can put things into.

How to change the default new project folder in Premiere Elements 13?

I keep all my projects on a different drive than the default My Documents folder. How can I change the default setting so that Premiere Elements does not try to create new projects in the My Documents\Pemiere Elements\13.0 folder? In fact, I do not want that folder to be used for anything (including layouts and styles).

steveb
Short version....
Referring to the 13.0 Folder in the Adobe Folder in documents, you wrote
In fact, I do not want that folder to be used for anything (including layouts and styles).
I do not believe that is possible.
For my best case scenario
Set the Scratch disks, not to Same As Project, but set for Custom with the set being the save location that you set for the project file.
Set the project save in, my preference, File Menu/Save As.
You are going to end up automatically with a 13.0 Folder in the Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/13.0 Folder every time you open a Premiere Elements project. No matter how many times you try to delete the 13.0 Folder. And that 13.0 Folder will contain a Layout Folder and, if you applied a Style in the project, a Styles Folder.
Longer Version....
There is no problem directing your project file to the save location of choice. You can do that two way
1. After you open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/Save As to change the name of the project as well as the location for the save in order to avoid the defaults.
2. You can also do that through File Menu/New/Project.
That 13.0 Folder also gains its contents from the settings of the scratch discs in Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disc - some examples preview files, disc encoding files, conformed audio files... Some Files/Folders are placed there automatically. So what to do to keep the Documents area clear of Premiere Elements files, project or otherwise after you have move all that you thought you could to a non Adobe default location? See above best case scenario.
Miscellaneous
1. If you set the save location of the project in either of the 2 ways, that setting will not hold from project to project. It will hold for that particular project.
3. If you set the Scratch disks in Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks, those settings seem to hold from project to project as well as for in the particular project.
Stevenb, please review and consider and verify. I have gone through several scenarios on what you would prefer. But, I do not see a way to make that happen with the programming that exists.

Can't drag & drop photos

I can't drag and drop about half my library from iPhoto into Pages or Keynote (I get the "springback" action). I've tried using the Media navigator or going directly from the iPhoto window. Dragging those same pics into iMovie or iTunes works fine. No rationale for why some do some don't transfer. Pics from same roll/sequence differ. One "workaround" is if I edit (crop, whatever) in iPhoto, it then usually ebables the pic to be transferred. I've tried disabling and reenabling fonts to no avail.
Thanks for any guidance

Thanks for your replies, TD. They are ordinary albums. I haven't made any smart albums yet. It's strange, sometimes when I'm trying to relocate a photo I'll see the cursor flash in another place on the page and the photo will migrate there. Sometimes there are no cursors at all.

Can't drag and drop or import movie clips or ver. 8 projects into iMovie 9

Hello:
I just installed Leopard (OS X) with iLife and iWork (although I didn't actually install iWork). I can't drag and drop .mov or .dv files into a project. If I "File-->Import-->Movies", all the types I want to import (.mov & .dv) are grayed-out. I created and saved a project with the older version of iMovie (8) and then tried to import it into iMovie 9. The result is a message in the clips panel that says "No matching video. Choose a different options from the Show pop-up menu at the lower left corner." So far, everything I wanted to do is bust. Can somebody help?
Thanks.

How?
easy way:
• double-click mp4 to open it in QuicktimePlayer.app
(does it play the video?)
• File/Export/choose 720p (if optional, if not 480p)
• import THAT into iMovie using iMovies import routine, proceed …

Unable to add, drag/drop, or import to iTunes library.

My sister and I each have a MacMini. I tried to transfer files from my PC to the MacMini by transferring to the Mac's harddrive (no problem here). For some reason I am unable to import the xml file to the iTunes library, none of the import options including drag and drop works. Nothing happens. My sister was able to perform on the task on her MacMini with no problem. We've compared the preference files to no avail. Although, I've figured out another way of transferring the file, I still would like these features to work. What do I need to do? I have the current version of iTunes 10.5.
Thanks

Try these steps.
1. Turn off all the devices in the chain in this order: MBPr, any wireless routers on the network, the internet modem.
2. Wait several seconds after turning off the last item then power them back on in reverse order waiting for each device to completely power up before turning on the next device.
Let us know how it works.
