E-Mailing Aperture Photos--with unwanted background photo included?

I have had an odd problem when e-mailing photos directly from Aperture.
They appear in my email program (.Mac) with my desktop photo in the background of the selected photo, almost as if it were a watermark. Indistinct, but definitely there. It does not happen 100% of the time.
I am perplexed-- anyone else have this problem (and a fix?)
I have the latest version of LION and APERTURE running.
many thanks

Uncheck the "Show Watermark" option in the Image Export Presets (categories Email Small, Email Medium, Email Original Size)
Aperture -> Preferences -> Export
P.S. if you have the latest version of Lion running you may want to update your signature to 10.7.2

Edit the color document. Then Copy, or Place or Paste in the Grayscale image and mask the BW to create a composit.

Can't get photo with transparent background to show up that way

I'm quite new to PSE (using ver. 6) so thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
I have a photo, and have made the background transparent, and saved it as a GIF file. When opened, it shows up with the checkered background. Good so far.
When I drag this photo from the Project Bin at the bottom (where I still see the checkerd background) into the image I'm working on, it shows up with a solid gray background once dropped into that image. So in essence, the background is no longer transparent.
How do I add this photo with the transparent background to the image I'm working on without a background / frame showing up? I've combed the internet and can't find an answer, and searching this forum, still coming up empty. I think the problem has to do with dragging it from the project bin. How else can I get it into the image I'm working on?
Thanks!
Kevin

In PSE 6, dragging up from the project bin creates a special kind of passthrough layer. Copy/paste, or drag it down from the gif's image window into the other file in the project bin instead.

Photos with transparent background weird issue in album

There is something very strange happening
What I did
I saved two images that had transparent background
When I view it in my photo album the thumbnail shows the image but for the "background" it is some other random photo that isn't even in my camera roll! It just shows up only when I save these images with transparent background. This happened for two images and the photos showing up are different (from the same night because I can see who is in it).
When I view these images larger, the background photos do not appear , so it is very strange
I took a screen shot of this too and would like to send to apple support

I would not really expect AppleTv to handle transparency in an image, though maybe it does and this is some kind of bug.
I would regard transparency handling as a non-basic feature to be honest, one that the majority of users will not expect to use or use.
Does iPhoto handle transparency properly?
Send feedback to:

It may be something they can add fairly easily, but it may not either.
Don't expect a reply from that link.

When I share photos with Facebook, multiple photos are posted even though I only check off a few. How can I stop this?

When I share photos to Facebook, multiple photos that I didn't choose are posted. How can I prevent this?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Printing photos with titles/burning photos with titles to CD

I have taken photos that show hand positions for particular physical treatments and wish to print them with their titles so that I can remember what is what when I look at the photos in my notebook. Likewise, I would like to burn the photos WITH THEIR TITLES to CD so that I can share them with my classmates and have the photos make sense. Is there anyway to do this with iPhoto?

Janel
Burning with Titles is easy: File -> Export. In the resulting dialogue choose Use Title under the Name panel. Export the files to a folder on the desktop, then burn that folder. This is certainly the case with v6, it may also work with 5.
Captions are more difficult. You cannot add text to a Pic using iPhoto, but you could create a document in Pages and very easily add captions to the Photographs there. Setting other apps as external editor would allow using PS or PE to add text to the pics.

Photo stream automatically deleting first photos with each new photo

once the photo stream on my 4s hit 1000 photos it started to delete the beginning of all of them. can i get those back? i dont understand why the new pictures are taking their place

No. Since when you create photo albums by using photos from PhotoStream the album only is a pointer to the photo ub PhotoStream
How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, then tap the trash icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, then select delete. When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, it will be removed from the Photos tab and your albums and iCloud. Photos imported from My Photo Stream to other devices won’t be deleted. Learn more about deleting photos.
What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?
If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS device, all the photos in the My Photo Stream album are removed from that device. Any photos from My Photo Stream that were imported to the Recently Added album and the Photos tab will also be removed. The photos from My Photo Stream on your other devices aren't affected. Photos from My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you uploaded them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device.

Duplicate photos with launch of Photos for Mac?

I may be jumping the gun here, but with Photos for Yosemite officially launching today, I have a kind of big fear. I have about 13,000 photos on my iPhone and they had all been backed up to iPhoto. I'd also been using Photos Beta so as far as I know, they should all be uploaded into my iCloud Photos library as well. Well now that Photos has launched, is it going to upload all the photos that had previously been uploaded to iPhoto, into my cloud? And if so, won't this mean that I'll have about 13,000 duplicate photos? I really hope that made sense, thanks guys!

I had a large iPhoto library on my home computer and smaller subsets on my office computer and laptop. I resisted the 10.3 and Photos betas because I feared problems in the iPhoto-Photos upgrade. Once Photos was officially released I OKed the move to Photos. I now have a Photos library with 37,926 photos, of which man, many are duplicates. Some are copied twice, very many are copied three times and some are more than that. It seems that Photos has accepted a separate copy from each of my computers and mobile devices without recognising the duplication. I only click "Yes, upgrade" to Photos on one Mac, but it seems to have fetched photos from every device registered to my Apple ID.
I can't find any command within the new Photos to deal with this. There are free utility apps out there, but as far as I can see none of them are "Photos app aware". The want to sort of Finder folders, or sometime the iPhoto Library, but they all pre-date the new Photos app.
If I was doing this again I would delete the photo libraries from all except the one definitive collection on my home Mac before starting the "migration"

Superimposed jpg image comes with unwanted background

hi.
I cut out an object from a jpg image and made a new jpg image with transparent background. Tested it on image editing program - the background is indeed transparent.
However, when i try to superimpose the image with transparent background on a video in PrE, the image is shown with a white background.
How do i remove that unwanted white background?

Great news!
In many Image editors, Transparency is not clearly deliniated, and it just looks white. With display settings in Photoshop, Transparency will be shown as a checkerboard pattern, but when one does a Save_As to JPEG, that clearly goes white, alerting the user to the lack of Transparency in the JPEG.
Good luck, and happy editing.

Best format for saving & resizing photo with transparent background

I have some product shots where I cut out the background, so the background is now transparent. What is the best format to save these in to preserve the transparency and also resize the photo in the future? I seem to remember from long ago that Tiffs don't resize easily? but when I saved the shot as Eps I couldn't find a way to preserve the transparency. These are for a client who wants to send these shots to various publications for ads, so I need something they can resize. Thanks for your help!

Transparency is only saved in EPS files with an embedded clipping path. EPS files limit you to 1-bit transparecy, meaning you either show a portion of the image or you don't. This kind of transparency means hard edges around your subject.
If you use PSD,PDF,PDP files, you can offer a soft transition from opaque to transparent in as many as 256 steps. If you have already removed the background in your layered file, then this would be the way to go. The latest releases of QuarkXPress and all releases of InDesign support PSD.

My iPad won't sync photos with iTunes & the photos tab has gone on itunes

I'm using an iMac with itunes version 11.1.5 and I have been trying to sync my iPad to add photos but it keeps failing. However i have noticed that there doesnt seem to be a "photos" tab any longer on iTunes has this option been removed??
Many thanks

You can never totally remove anything that you have purchased from iTunes, the App Store, or iBooks. Your purchases will always be tied to your Apple ID. You can hide those songs by going to Settings>iTunes and App Store>Show all>Music>Off. You can do the same for videos.
But bear in mind, all that you are doing is hiding the purchases and they will not be downloaded to your device unless you go back to that settings, show the songs again and then tap the cloud to download them to the iPad.

In certain browsers, my Dreamweaver MX site has bluish grey
backgrounds on al of the link boxes. Does anyone have info on
removing these? You can view my site at lacymetals.com. Maybe
you'll see them, maybe you won't.:confused

IPad has "4.2G" of photos with only 46 photos?

I don't know if this is just a glitch or the photos take up a lot of space but my iPad always says it has 4.2G of photos. It isn't affected when I delete photos either. I don't know if maybe something else is included in the "Photos" section but this is really annoying. I deleted photo stream in the hope it would help but it didn't.

do you have any videos you've shot with your iPad? videos can take up a chunk of room

EXPORTING Photos WITH Keywords in Photo's metadata

Is there a way to export your pictures to a folder so you have all jpegs and each photo has all the keywords embedded in its metadata?
I started making a digital library for my company for reference purposes and we just released our first intranet. The intranet has its own file searching capabilities and i want to transfer the pictures from lightroom every so often to the intranet to enable emplyees to search the intranet via keyword without having to re-tag every picture in the intranet system.
Is this possible?
Thanks and any help would be greatly appreciated,

When you export JPEGs from LR, the metadata including keywords, is exported within the image. Is this not what you are seeing? One exception is if "Minimize embedded metadata" is checked in the export dialog. Make sure that is not checked.

How does iPhoto'11 maps modified photo with corresponding original photo?

Hello,
I see that every picture I edit in iPhoto, iPhoto keeps 2 copies of it - 1) of course the edited/modifed version 2) Original version, so that I can come back later and still get the original copy.
1. But I think it takes up a lot of space of local hard drive and I would iPhoto to only keep the final edited/modified version. Is there a way to set iPhoto property like this?
2. I would also like to know how iPhoto maps original version to the modified version, if there an xml that I can see? I would like to filter out my current photo collection. Suppose I have 1000 pictures and out of 1000, I modified 700. So iPhoto has 1700 pictures, so what I would like to do is that keep the modified version (700) and only 300 of the original. This way hard drive will be used only for 1000 pictures and I could save a lot.
Please help!
Cheers

1. But I think it takes up a lot of space of local hard drive and I would iPhoto to only keep the final edited/modified version. Is there a way to set iPhoto property like this?
No. Best advice if that's what you want is to use another application for your photos. iPhoto treats the original file like a film shooter treats the negative - it preserves it at all costs. It's also necessary for the non-destructive editing feature. If you're concerned about disk space you need to be realistic: Digitial Photoography requires a lor of space going forward. You can run an iPhoto Library from an external disk:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
I would also like to know how iPhoto maps original version to the modified version, if there an xml that I can see? I would like to filter out my current photo collection. Suppose I have 1000 pictures and out of 1000, I modified 700. So iPhoto has 1700 pictures, so what I would like to do is that keep the modified version (700) and only 300 of the original. This way hard drive will be used only for 1000 pictures and I could save a lot.
As Larry says, the relationship is tracked in the SQL database. Forget about trying to do what you want via this method. FOr a start, hacking the db won't delete anything. You'll still have to go in to the folders and delete the files. Here's a tedious way to do it: Export everything using any setting except Originals, empty the library and then re-import what you exported. Repeat endlessly everytime you edit. Be prepared for dataloss when you make a mistake in the process.
But really, doing what you want to do is exactly what iPhoto is designed not to do. Rather than trying to fix a spreadsheet so you can write your novel, wouldn't it be better to just use a Word Processor?
