Drag multiple jpg's onto a layout?

I want to be able to drag a bunch of Jpegs from my "Files" window into my current document. When I try this, only the first picture gets inserted...
1) Is there a way to insert multiple pics in one go?
2) Is there a plug-in or some command I can get which will build a Picture Gallery from the selected files, or from a folder?
Thanks!
William

1) No. DW would have no idea where you wanted to put them other than in the container within which your insertion point is located, which is almost certainly wrong.
2) There are oodles of them - some commercial, some not. Google makes Picasa, you have the option to make a gallery in Bridge CS4 (part of the DW Suite), and PVII has a number of truly excellent commercial ones - http://www.projectseven.com/

Convert multiple page pdf to multiple jpg

Hi, is there anyway of converting a multiple page pdf file in preview to multiple jpgs in one go? I've tried selecting all, but it still only converts one page into a jpg, when using the "save as" function. I'm currently having to convert each page in the file individually, which is rather time-consuming. If preview can't do it, is there any other software (preferably not too expensive) that can?
Many thanks for your help in advance

juleshorst,
Ok Here is the best way I could find to take a PDF and make each page its own jepg image.
1. Open (Automator) on the window that opens it asks for a starting point I would Select (Files & Folders) the big Finder image. For the settings on it I would select (my mac) and (Ask For Files & Folders when my workflow runs) from the drop down menus, that way you can save it and reuse it latter.
2. I would drag the (PDF to images) automation under the (Ask for Finder Items) automation. To find said (PDF to images) you can either search for it or it can be found in the PDF section on the left.
3. After which I would drag the (Change Type of Images) automation under the (PDF to images) automation, I would say Don't add to the (This action will change the image type ...... ect ect.....), and I would select (To Type (jpeg)) from the drop down menu. To find said (Change Type of Images) once again you can search in the search box or you can find it in the Photos section on the left.
4. Run Automation, the button is located in the top right. Select the PDF you want to turn into jpeg pages and there you go.
I hope that this helped with your issue.

I can't drag a png file onto a psd file in PSE 10 editor

After using PSE 3 for years, I have recently installed PSE 10 and have begun using it primarily for making digital scrapbooks. With PSE 10, for some reason I cannot drag a png file onto a psd file. I probably have missed some setting somewhere but can't figure it out. Help, please!

It is transparent. However, it seems the problem is fixed. I am able to
drag the top layer of the psd file onto the png file instead of the opposite
which is what I was trying to do. The top layer of the psd file was
originally a jpg photo so maybe that has something to do with it. In my
previous version of PSE I worked with PNG and PSD files all the time and
don't remember having this problem. Thanks so much for all of your prompt
replies.

Unable to drag TIFFs JPGS back to desktop from a DVD that I just burned

I feel funny for posting this... I save my photography to DVD every day - I just burned 8 DVDs. I am unable to drag the jpegs from the DVD back onto my desktop! - I get a circle with a diagonal line. What did I do wrong (after all these years). I can open individual images and "save as" but that is not what I want to do - I want to select and drag multiple files back into a new folder. In permissions I have read & write permission.

You say you have read and write permissions, but you don't say to WHAT you have them. If you open your home folder and do GetInfo on the Desktop folder therein, what are the permissions for it? If instead of dragging items to the Desktop you instead drag them to some other folder, does that work?

How to open multiple jpgs in Adobe Camera Raw PSE 9 Mac

I am using Adobe Elements 9 on a Mac. I can open a single jpeg file in ACR with the file open command. There is no "Open As" in my version, probably because this is the Mac version. But, there is an additional dialog which allows me to open the jpeg file and select "Camera Raw" as the type. This opens the jpg in the raw editor.
But, when I select multiple files to open, the type dialog vanishes. Rather than opening the files in ACR, they are stacked in the main editor. I don't have this problem opening multiple dng files - just multiple jpg files. Multiple jpg files will not open in ACR.
I then went to the organizer, which replaced Bridge? In Bridge, I read there is a command to open multiple files in ACR or use the cmd-R. However, I am not seeing an open in ACR command in the organizer, just open in editor. Opening multiple jpg files in the organizer stacks them into the editor, not ACR. And, typing cmd-R brings up Red Eye reduction, not Raw Editing.
Is there a trick to this which I am missing?

Thanks Terry! I’ve been using this for a few years and settled on the somewhat more flexible approach… As you mentioned, Bridge offers an explicit command to open a JPEG or TIFF in Camera Raw, which I do, but then with a press of Shift I can open that JPEG as a smart object and revisit CR controls for further adjustment at any time later in the process.

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

How do I back up my entire iphoto library to an external hard drive that I have dedicated for photos only? Can I simply drag the iphoto library onto my seagate (hard drive) icon?

How do I back up my entire iphoto library on to an external hard drive that will be my second back up plan. I already have one back up that is also synched with time machine. But now I want to back up my iphoto library to a new hard drive to have a second copy. Can I simply drag the whole library onto the icon on my desk top? THX

WHile you can do it that way, the next time you back up you'll end up copying the entire library again, and,as you'l see, once a library gets bigger that can take a considerable amount of time.
Try using an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

How can I drag multiple photos into a new iPhoto library from search box?

I lost but found my list of photos that were in my iPhoto library. I am unable to drag more than one photo at a time from the search box into the new iPhoto library box. Am I doing something wrong or do I have to drag one at a time? (That would take hours.) Please help if you can!
Thanks,
Laure

Roam,
Thanks again. I know how to highlight and drag multiple photos or a list of files, but the only place I found my list was by going to Finder>File>Find then a dialogue box comes up. In the dialogue box I put in iPhoto and checked that then put in "kind" "is" "image" and "size" "is greater than" "30" KB. When I click search, the entire list from my library comes up but that is when I am unable to drag more than one file at a time. The box that comes up when I search isn't (at least I don't think it is) a "folder" as such. Any suggesttions?
Laure

How do i drag multiple files and move to a folder

I just purchased an IMAC and would like to transfer all of my photos from my old Dell laptop to my IMAC. I am using a USB Flash Drive and now I need to know how to drag multiple items and move the the pictures file? it will only let me move one at a time and this will take forever! I have the magic mouse. I have figured out how to choose/highlight multiple photos but i cannot figure out how to drag them over to the pictures file.

If you're not used to spring-loaded folders, it may be helpful to open a second Finder window (⌘N) and navigate that to the target folder, so you can just drop them straight in.

How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers? When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid"

How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers. When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid.

That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore.

In iTunes I can't drag and drop podcasts onto my iPod anymore. I can still drag and drop songs onto my iPod and I can still drag and drop podcasts into other playlists. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod and I've also checked for software updates for the iPod and iTunes. Help?

Update: I seem to have fixed the problem! I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes. I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option. The songs are syncing! And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now! Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem. There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Dragging multiple pages by their thumbnails

Re: Acrobat 9 Pro: Dragging multiple pages by their thumbnails.
In Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac, it used to be that I could click on a single thumbnail page in the Pages Navigation Panel (the thumbnail image of that single page would turn blue), then shift-click on another page 3 pages down (with the first and last thumbnail image, along with the 2 thumbnail images in between turning blue), and then drag all 4 pages (i.e., the first and last pages clicked upon and the two pages in between) to another document.
Now, when I try that, only the last thumbnail image clicked upon turns and remains blue, and only that one page can be dragged.
Note 1: I'm using Acrobat 9.4.5 Pro on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8.
Note 2: I checked for this desired ability on a friend's PC running Acrobat X, and it worked fine.
Note 3: I completely reinstalled Acrobat 9.0 and updated it, and the feature described above still does not work.
So, what happened and how can I get this feature to work again?

This is a known bug with 9.4.5: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/865843?tstart=30
There's a good chance it will be fixed in a quarterly update that should be available within a month or two. In the mean time, you can update to just 9.4.4

Selecting and Dragging multiple clips - CS6 Sniper mode

With the introduction of ability to select Edit Points, now it's inconvenient to drag multiple selected clips or add clips to selection because in some cases - depending on timeline zoom state and/or clip duration. The edit points are altered instead of the clips, that behaviour drives me nuts. It leads to a necessity to do one of the following actions before selecting and/or dragging multiple clips with comfort:
sniper mode - put the cursor over a place in the selection where the cursor will not indicate Edit Point trimming mode.
to avoid loosing selection when using sniper mode - Group the clips after adding every clip to selection and/or after a dragging operation
dynamically change zoom state so that you will not have to use sniper mode
use copy/cut/paste - may involve a necessity to do additional pre-pasting steps
IMHO, this behaviour should be rethinked.
How fast it was in CS5.5 and older versions:
Please, Premiere Pro Programming Team, especially Tim Gogolin, Steve Hoeg, Peter Lee, Gerry Miller, James Mork, Vivek Neelamegam, Axel Schildan, Jerry Scoggins, Sven Skwirblies, Tod Snook, Jesse Zibble, rethink the behaviour of selecting and dragging clips. Start giving links to beta-versions to other editors too, not only to editors like Philip Bloom.
Selecting edit points is sometimes helpful and sometimes distracting.
To get the best of two worlds (CS6 edit points vs. CS5.5 and older) - a switch could be added to Keyboard Shortcuts list, like the "hidden" Add Clip Marker shortcut.
Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points".
When Shift- or Shift+Alt- key is pressed and some Clip is selected, clicking on an edit point of another clip should add a clip to selection in the same way as previous versions of Premiere Pro did:
To drag clips in legacy sniper-free mode only a switch can help. Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points when Multiple Clips are Selected".
To add comfort to the editing process - selecting/dragging multiple clips - additional switches cannot be avoided. Additionally you may add an option to the Preferences > Trim:
Allow Selection tool to choose Roll and Ripple trims without modifier key
Allow Selection tool to select Edit Points while multiple Clips are selected

With all due respect Kevin, nobody at Adobe has the right to change a program SO drastically. I am also a mouse person, and am MUCH faster using the mouse, vs the keyboard.
When people have invested YEARS into a program like Adobe, they get used to things, how things work, the feel of a program. I really don't see how you all can just change it on a whim. IF you are going to do this, BOTH methods should still work. You cannot just stop the way people are used to editing. You can't just decide to change a program so drastically, that it doesn't feel like a program we have grown to love over many long years. If Adobe on a whole is changing things, just because a few people in your company voice opinions like I've quoted below, it's not the way to go. Adobe should be really putting feelers out there, and seeing how people are really using the program. Things should be getting easier, more powerful, sure that's natural, but you can't just decide to remove things that mouse users do every day. :-(
Upgrading a program, and changing it to this degree, are two different things in my book. I have not yet upgraded, but it is very scary - the things I'm seeing. For one, way way too many bugs. The amount of bugs on so many boards being reported are just beyond comprehension.
And a final note, I for one, am very glad Steven is posting these videos ( I'd like to hear him go through steps though - just watching the video with no audio of what he is doing is not so great, however after watching some of his posts, he's knows what he's doing, and has a good head to think with )
I mostly read posts, but I thought I would voice my opinion, if none of us speak up, nothing will get changed. I'm really hoping that Adobe implements some change in the next revision .5 or whatever it will be called. Reading posts like this one are really depressing. Did you watch Steven's video on a simple task as moving multiple clips around on a timeline ? Doing this with a mouse just isn't going to work for many, removing simple tasks by way of using a mouse would stop me from upgrading.
Please address this in upcoming updates.
Dave.

Creating a pdf from multiple jpgs?

Is there a way to select multiple jpg image files in Bridge & or Photoshop and save them as one pdf? I have searched through the forums as I imagine this has come up before or maybe it's so easy I'm missing something in any case any advise would be very helpful. Thanks Jeff

In Bridge CS4 select the files you want and go to the Adobe Output Module by
either using the right icon of the row top left in Bridge window or choose
output from the workspace menu at the right of the Bridge Window
Inhere you have many options to choose from, be sure to use the update AOM
to get better result with more options
