Easy BI Bridge

I've been reading the article "Integrating Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Plus with SOA" by Mark Rittman and Joel Crisp at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/rittman-biee-soa.html
The The EasyBI Bridge section makes reference to some sample code "bi_and_soa_sample_easy_bi.zip" I downloaded this, and followed the instructions, but the project in the zip file seems to be missing files, including class EasyBIBridge, which you need to make the whole thing work.
Anyone got any ideas where I can find them? I'd like to get this working to see what it can do...

Hi
I have used this and it does work, so there must be something wrong with your implementation, the EasyBIBridge class is in EasyBIBridge.java are you missing this whole file?

Adobe Bridge / Aperture organization feature only comparison

I am curious what others' thoughts are about comparing Adobe Bridge / Version Cue to Aperture's pre-editing organizational features (meaning the ability to organize prior to doing any RAW conversion and editing). What do people see as the most important features that Aperture adds above and beyond Bridge?
Remember, these are pre-editing features only, which is basically organization. Do not include editing and/or finishing options in comments. If anyone is interested why I am asking this, Its for two reasons:
1) I'm considering a new workflow option of using Bridge and ACR, and only importing into Aperture after all conversions are complete. This basically eliminates Aperture functionality for the initial image evaluation phase, and importing only converted PSDs. Yes, that eliminates a huge part of the value Aperture offers, but perhaps it saves the ability to use it.
2) I want to know other than aesthetics what I am really losing by not just using Bridge/Version Cue exclusively over Aperture (up to now, I use Bridge, but not Version Cue). I already have my own thoughts on this, but I'd like to tap others' knowledge and advice.

Frankly I think you'd be throwing out all of the good parts of aperture.
I really, really like the way it imports from cards. I really like the auto-stacking, the side-by-side compare, the easy ratings (Bridge is just as good for rating) and it's fast for this - I love how it displays a preview on the second monitor.
Really, if Aperture didn't have the library, and were just an organizational/evaluation tool, I think I would be in love with it - it falls apart at the editing and archiving phases.

How to create a pdf or jpg of a group of photos in LR4

Is it possible to create a jpg or pdf of a group of images in LR4, like you can in Bridge output? I try the Web section and it creates a perfect page of the images but it's only available in HTML and Flash.
I don't need the photos to be enlarged at all, I just want a preview of a few images with a title. I can still use Bridge but since I've started using LR4, I've not really a need for photoshop, or rather, why
spend $33/mo for photoshop when I really don't have a need for most of what photoshop offers. However, I do need to make previews of photo and video series. My website is a pay site that is password
protected except for a blog/updates section, and the model preview galleries. Right now it's just so easy in bridge to get this done but it would be nice to save some money and do this in lightroom. Uploading a web
gallery directly to the dedicated server is possible but getting onto the blog/updates page which is not password protected would be the problem, as I see it.
The updates/blog page has a feature image that is displayed on the homepage of the website at 670 pixels wide and up to 230 pixels tall, though I usually stay between 90-150. In photoshop you can set your crop tool to those dimensions 670px by 110px for example or in bridge I can use multiple video screen captures or photos and have bridge make the small image by setting the particular parameters in output. Is this possible in LR? The updates/blog page has the feature image and then you can add other media along with your text. This is where I upload the series preview image board/web gallery. Oh, and I did try the print section but would prefer the ability to add titles and description.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Great, it works! That's the first time I am using this forum, and I must say I'm amazed at how fast I got an answer.
Thank you very much!

Using Time Capsule as just a backup. (Need Help)

There are two Time Capsules in our home. We use one with our modem for our home Wi-Fi. The one that I have on my desk, I would like to just use it as a back. Does anyone have any idea as to how I can set it up to my iMac for just a back up?

Yes, it is relatively easy.
How is the imac connecting to the internet now??
The answer depends on this..
Ethernet.
if you use ethernet, then could not be simpler.. bridge the TC.. plug the ethernet that was in the imac into the TC.. and plug the imac into another port on the TC.. it is now a switch and AP.. so turn off wireless.. and use it as your TM destination.
Wireless.
If the imac get internet by wireless.. setup the TC as router might be easier than bridge.. either are possible though. Plug it by ethernet into the computer. You might need to turn off wireless just to finish the setup. You need to move the TC to a different IP range. ie if you have two TC the second one cannot be the same IP as the first. Bridge avoids this issue as used above. Set the ethernet ip of the TC to say 192.168.1.1 .. set the ethernet on the computer to 192.168.1.10 with 255.255.255.0 subnet.. no router no dns set. (This is assuming the main TC is not using the same IP range). You may have to turn off the various errors that the TC will come up with.. just ignore them.. the TC is now isolated from the network for your exclusive use.
There are other methods.. like using wireless extend.. so ask more if you need more.

Set up Lightroom for my workflow - Help Please!!

Hi Guys,
(PC/Win XP pro/Lightroom 1.3/PS CS3 running on large PC with plenty of everything!! - Printing on 7880 Epson through qimage)
I have been working on Bridge/CS3 and want to set uplightroom for the following workflow (easy in Bridge but I cant seem to figure it out in LR).
I want all raw images to reside in a folder on HDD (say jane smith wedding). (that bit is easy- even I could manage that!)I want all work files (Xmp or whatever) and all developed images (low/high res) to reside in the same folder (there was a simple command in bridge - export to same location - that could be set as default but I cannot find in LR.)
I also need to export a jpeg crop ( I cant find a crop tool for inches!!)of my corrected image at say 10x7@ 240dpi for inkjet printing through Qimage and a second jpeg say @ 70dpi with copyright mark for a slideshow in proshow gold.(is there a setting for "save in same location with work files). So I would end up with a folder for example R/jane smith wedd with subfolders develops and previews. This folder should contain ALL workfiles so when i archive ALL files go with it. ( also I would be able to open the raws with corrections applied on a home computer with CS3 but not lightroom running.)
I admit Im thick!!
Any help would be really appreciated, nigel
PS: Memo to Adobe: What were you thinking of with no way to save contact sheets.......? Also no way to export music with the slideshow......?

1. You need to turn on "automatically write XMP" in preferences. Then the settings data will be saved as you make changes in LR and CS3 can use these settings to open images. You could also convert to DNG for the same end result.
2, If you want your exports in the same folder then just select that folder in the export dialogue. You also have the option of creating a sub folder to store the exports in. It doesn't have a save to same location default but it's not such a pain to pick a folder. I actually send my edits to a different drive just in case of corruption.
3. There's no cropping done by the crop tool so you can't assign a dpi to it. Crop it the way you like it (you can set an aspect ratio if you like. Nothing happens until you export and that's where you select dpi, watermarking etc for output files. In the export dialogue just enter the settings you want. You can also save several sets of output settings for quick retreival later on.
4. To save contact sheets install a free PDF printer and just print the contact sheets to it. Mind you because Adobe wont let you select sRGB as an output space and insists on Pro Photo RGG (don't get me started...) the colours will be washed out and horrible. You can also save your contact sheet settings so redoing it really isn't that big of a deal. Printing and saving contact sheets worked really well up to 1.1 after that Adobe broke it and it's the thing I miss the most. All they need to do is allow us to select an output colour space when using printer managed printing so I can have sRGB printing back.
Don't know about the slide show thing, sorry.
Hope this helps

Regularly moving files

Hi, I'm a new Lightroom 2.3 user. So far just getting my head around it.
I've three questions here is the third one.
I plan to use one catalogue per wedding client. That is fine when I am working at my desk. All of the files will be stored on an external storage device (one which I can't move easily).
When a client comes to review images I have (to date) been using Bridge in CS2. I take the files, copy the folder to my desktop, disconnect the external storage device and take my laptop downstairs. There I connect it to the TV and display images to the clients on that. When the selection has been done (using colour labels) I then take my work upstairs again, re-connect the external device and copy files back from the laptop to the external drive.
Now I want to do the same thing with Lightroom.
How can I achieve this?
I don't mind doing import/export to a temporary catalogue on the laptop and then importing/exporting back rather than just copying files but I do want to be able to regularly move files to the laptop and move them back *preserving the new labels and so on*.
It's easy with Bridge but I'm not sure how one would do it (or something very similar!) for LR.

Jonh, don't get grumpy life is way too short.
I said that I would try your very first suggestion and I now have. I only typed a few comments in response to comments made, nothing more nothing less. In forums I like to be polite and respond not ignore help offered.
We all have our own way of working with things. You are no exception. I'm coming to LR with a well established routine based on Bridge. I'm simply trying to work out if I can modify that routine easily for LR or if I have to start from scratch. It looks like I can just modify it which is good.
There are no "banal assumptions" going on here - I came asking for advice so that I didn't start using LR in one way to find in six months time that it would be better for me in another way. Talking to quite a few LR users (not just a few on here) there has been (and continues to be) much debate over single or multiple catalogues. And I have heard people who have moved from multiple to single and others moved from single to multiple. Similarly I am not assuming that LR works the same as iView. I did wonder if the preview mechanism worked the same way which is not an unfair thought given the similarities in the tools. But I've now been told one can zoom to 100% which is all I need. I imagine that I can crop etc on the previews and that's all stored... but I need to TEST that to be sure. As for "changing goalposts" - again, no change at all. Maybe I've added information, but as I said I only got hold of the program yesterday and am trying to find out what it does.
I have now had time to try export to new catalogue, change ratings and labelling, and import from catalogue. It did what I wanted, no problem.
When I talk about "one program change" might screw things up I wasn't meaning I don't have backups. I do. They're fine. What I mean is that sometimes a programmer makes a mistake as they add a new feature/modify/fix a bug and suddenly a single database (and I'm not talking LR, or iView here I'm just talking about databases in general) becomes unstable - for example a small memory leak (not closing off handles in storage) might mean that a tool takes over all available memory on a computer causing crashes. A point-upgrade to the software might mean that working in one way or another could cause an issue. One solution to this kind of thing is to use smaller databases. That's not always a practical or desirable route to go for. Here it is possible but is it desirable? The jury appears to be out even if you've made up your mind.
My first day playing with LR says to me that I'm likely to benefit more from multiple catalogues than a single one for my work. If I were a stock shooter I might have one big one to help me find different photos. Different folks will have different needs.
Bottom line - I've tested export and import. I can disconnect the F: drive and still work with the files with my clients. Job done. Thanks for your help.

Aperture and PS

Users of Aperture: "What is the big advantage of Aperture over PS CS 2 combined with Adobe's bridge" .
Imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Lemke,
while Aperture isn't meant to replace Photoshop, it does for me 95% of the time now.
Basically, Aperture organizational abilities, smart albums, the amazing stacking and compare functions make organizing shoots, and picking the best images from a day of shooting far easier than Bridge can. Plus the whole versions leaving the masters untouched and letting you have multiple version each adjusted differently (B&W, super saturated, cropped) without using extra disk space is great.
I guess one of the big questions is: what type of photography do you do? What type of post processing do you do? What do you do with the images?
For me, I shoot mostly fashion/commercial. I shoot RAW, I shoot a lot of images. The end goal is to have a very small number of the best images from a shoot for print or online use.
So for my uses, here is where Aperture shines above Bridge+PS from the start of my workflow to the end:
Aperture can automatically unload from your cards or camera into a new project, and erase your card for you.
My RAWs are never touched. They can be viewed at 100% zoom without converting them.
I can auto-stack and/or manually stack different shots of the same pose. I can then use the excellent stack comparison view, full screen mode, promote, demote, reject, and pick images, using 2-up, 3-up, or more-up views. I can use the loupe tool to check details and sharpness instantly. My rejects are hidden from the default view, but never deleted. This lets me find the best image from a stack very quickly compared to Bridge, where you can only see things at a small size with anti-aliasing, and has no simple 2-up comparison view, and no concept of stacks and picks. All this lets me go from 500 images to about 30 very very quickly.
I can create a dark moody version (with lowered exposure adjustment) and a light almost-blown glowing version (with raised exposure adjustment) and a black and white version without using 4X the disk space.
I can do all of my most common types of edits/adjustments: saturation, sharpness, levels, white balance, straightening, cropping, and more quickly, with no conversion from RAW, and no damage to the master file, and no disk space use to speak of.
I can use export presets and smart albums to dump all non-rejected images at 1000px wide jpegs with my copyright and name watermarked on them onto a CD to send the model, and all 5-star selects as 16-bit TIFFs with embedded color profile for the printer or for the client, and all stack picks and solo images to 2000 px wide srgb color-spaced jpegs for my website. And it's all faster than doing batch action processing in CS2.
I can backup everything to my external drive Vault with the click of a button.
I can do all of this in a single application.
So, for me, that's the high level advantages.

Image importing functionality

I'm building a Flash application that allows retailers to
customize pre-designed price tags. There needs to be a component
that allows the user to locate a jpg on his computer and import
that jpg into a movieclip in the application. The jpg doesn't need
to go anywhere online, just be located on the computer and brought
into the app.
Any ideas on how to build that feature? Thanks in
advance.

Frankly I think you'd be throwing out all of the good parts of aperture.
I really, really like the way it imports from cards. I really like the auto-stacking, the side-by-side compare, the easy ratings (Bridge is just as good for rating) and it's fast for this - I love how it displays a preview on the second monitor.
Really, if Aperture didn't have the library, and were just an organizational/evaluation tool, I think I would be in love with it - it falls apart at the editing and archiving phases.

CS4-Exporting Keywords and other image data

I've been spending quite a bit of time going through my very large image library assigning keywords, filters etc to the images and am surprised to find there doesn't seem to be any file I can backup to preserve all this data.
Next month I will be buying a new Windows 7 system and am hoping all this time I've put in will not be wasted when I transfer CS4 to the new system.
Is all the data (keywords, filters etc) somehow embedded into the images themselves or do I need to back up a file?
I'd really appreciate any help with this.
pg

Pg,
Here is my experience with Bridge in its various guises.
I started with Photoshop 5 entering metadata into my digital collection. I then progressed to PS 6 and 7. Up to this point I had to do it all by hand.
After purchasing the full CS2 package I fell into love with Bridge as I could now setup templates. When managing tens of thousands of files templates made my job a whole lot easier. Bridge CS2 had no problems reading the metadata from my Photoshop files with metadata embedded.
After earlier this year upgrading to CS4 I had no problem viewing and manipulating my metadata. Since the information is embedded in the photos themselves it does not matter what viewer you use. That being said I find it disheartening that Win XP does not recognize my metadata. I suspect that Windows creates cart files to store its info in. Or perhaps in a file within its structure.
So go ahead and upgrade. As long as your metadata is embedded in the file itself you should have no problem. Unless I was just lucky.

Quick question!! Is it mandatory that I set up my DSL through the time capsule? I'd like to leave my current modem from my provider as the primary unit for networking. So in other words can I just set up the time capsule as a back-up device for now and

Quick question!! Is it mandatory that I set up my time capsule as my DSL modem? Based on the location of my iMAC right now it would be better to just leave the modem provided by my internet provider in place. I really just want to use the time capsule as a back-up storage device for now and connnect the ethernet cable from my ISP at a later date.

Generally it is easier to bridge the TC and plug it into the router.. it then lives on the network.. it is after all, a network drive.. and you can access it via your existing connection whether wireless or wired to the existing modem.
If you really want a totally stand alone setup please tell me how you are presently accessing internet on the Mac you want to backup on the TC.

Unable to add to existing network

I am trying to "add to an existing network", however, it keeps reverting back to creating a NEW network when I click 'next'. HELP?
Also ... under PPPoE ... is the account name and password what I require to access my ISP?
THANK YOU!

You only use PPPoE if you intend to bridge out your iibob. Do you use the voip? If not that will work fine. You need to bridge bob.. or get a cheap modem that is easy to bridge. We usually suggest the tp-link low end models.. 8817 about $25 or the 8960n which is just below $50.. prices will vary according to AUS$ dive.
Sorry I went to bed early last night.. but i have answered your earlier thread.
You put the TC in bridge mode.. and plug it by ethernet into the bob.. do not join or extend or anything to the wireless of the bob.. indeed turn off bob's pathetic attempt and wireless and just use the TC wireless.. so you will create a wireless.
I cannot give you an email or contact here.. but my email is on the website which I can give you..

Time Capsule don't connect alarm system to the internet by UDP ports

I have installed an Airport Time Capsule and connected to the ethernet port an Joblatron Alarm system.
The alarm systems gets a IP-adres(reserved by DHCP reservation ip:192.168.1.110) from the Time Capsule Buth doesn't connect to the internet. When i send a ping to the ip adres 1 get a ping result so there is an connection between Time Capsule and alarm system.
After communication with the service desk from the alarm system i have forwarde the next UDP ports: 7070, 8080,8081,8082,8083,8084,8085,8086,8087,8088,8089. The alarm system must make connetion with the server from jablotron(gsmlink.cz) and send my ip-adres to the server. From this site I can make connection to my alarm system and managed it.
What can I do to fixing this problem?

I don't see anything wrong with the setup. This is just typical apple being difficult.
Are all names SMB standard.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Do not use apple naming.
What model TC and what firmware are you running??
I strongly recommend earlier firmware. 7.6.1 for later Gen4 and 7.5.2 for earlier ones.
No luck it is much easier to bridge out the TC and use a standard router that has real controls.. and use that. TC can still do wireless and network backups for your Mac.. but it is hopeless when you mix in other brands.

Is it now easier to create custom workspaces in Bridge CS4 &CS5

I use CS3 and I swear to god this is the most frustrating and hard to remember procedure after I lose my saved Bridge workspace settings. Once I figure it out, save the settings with a custom name, it's out of site and out of mind, forgotten years afterward.
I spent all morning trying to remember by trial and error how to recreate my modified filmstrip workspace which has one horizontal divider (major PITA to remember how to implement) separating Folder panel from Metadata panel on the left column, Preview pane in center with Content thumbnail strip separated by a horizontal divider underneath and the right column collapsed by the extended Preview pane. Very simple and uncluttered setup.
I didn't want to use Snow Leopard Mac Migration Assistant transferring my Bridge Workspace prefs (which I couldn't find on my OS Tiger hard drive pulled from my dead 2004 G5 iMac) to my newly purchased 2010 Mac Mini with Snow Leopard attached to the dead imac's HD through a firewire enclosure. Just reinstalled CS3 from my licensed CD and downloaded all updates using Adobe's online Update system.
Only one post on how to create Bridge workspace using horizontal dividers came up in a search and it turned out to be wrong.
I finally figured it out by first choosing Horizontal Filmstrip mode which has the left column in a tabbed layout, the center with Preview/Content including a horizontal divider and the right column with a horizontal divider and tabbed windows. Next I removed all tabs on the left except (Folder) and kept one tab on the right column (Metadata panel).
Here's the key that gets missed and forgotten in all this. As I click on the Metadata panel tab and drag from the right column over to the left column there is a blue highlight surrounding the entire column which gets most folks to let go upon which you get the disappointing two tabbed left column with no horizontal divider.
HERE IT IS...WATCH FOR IT...there is a blue one line bar that you can get to appear AT THE TOP of the left column when hovering the dragged tab just above the tab already in place in the column. Most don't see or know about this blue highlight bar showing up like this. And even then INTUITION says the blue horizontal divider highlight bar should appear in the middle of the left column being dragged and dropped to. But since no one sees it or maybe even knows about and how to get it to highlight, it gets forgotten about and the confusion and frustration continues.
I tried to post this in the Bridge Feature Request which now takes me to a Photoshop.com site requiring a new account be made for signing in. After I sign in, go to Bridge section, there's no GUI allowing me to Post New Topic, so I posted here.

2 clicks in Bridge Help, huh? Yeah. I already know how to create a workspace. It's the specifics of creating a horizontal divider that I'm having trouble remembering how to do and what to search for when I forget.
2 clicks didn't get me to the page on how to create horizontal dividers which is what I entered into Bridge Help Search from the beginning before I posted here. It only indicates how to make and move panels by grabbing the tabbed column which I already knew.
Put yourself in the place of someone who has to recall how to do something this deceptively simple and then know what to ask and search for after years of not having to deal with this. Would like you to find in the Bridge Help (search or whatever) where it says blue single line highlight bar lightens up to tell the user that a horizontal divider is being created.
Also see if you find instructions in Bridge Help that say..."Don't confuse this single line highlight bar (which if you have a fast video card will barely stay on long enough to notice or distinguish from the regular blue highlight bounding box when hovering between columns trying to create single square shaped panels with an adjustable divider bar but only getting tabbed unadjustable columns".
Heck, put yourself in the place of a newbie trying to figure this out. I've been doing this digital imaging stuff since '98 starting with Photoshop 4 and I'm having trouble.
Thanks for the directory location for Bridge's workspace. Don't know why doing a search using workspaces didn't find it. I finally hooked up my old G5 imac HD and found it along with the other "!!" workspaces but mine wasn't custom named which I may have altered slightly from when I first created it that originally included my name. I only found Workspace Horizontal Filmstrip Metadata.workspace. Wish there was a way to search where this file is at on the HD, but there's always google for finding that kind of stuff I guess.
Didn't find the "row of workspace names located at the top left of Search entry" in Bridge CS3.
But really this post is a disguised rant/feature request asking Adobe to allow instructions to show up by entering search terms... "Creating a Horizontal Divider In Bridge Workspace" when this situation comes up.
I'm hoping this rant will get indexed by google and show up in a search years later just so I'll remember this.

Using Adobe Bridge with Photoshop Elements

I have an iMAC with iLife 08.
I take photos in RAW format with a Nikon camera.
I have been editing photos this way:
After uploading photos to iPhoto, export them as jpg to a new folder on the desktop, external HD or wherever. I open Photoshop Elements, edit the exported photo.
Then I'm stuck with my edits outside of iPhoto, unless I then import them back into iPhoto. It works, but it's cumbersome.
Today I thought I'd try a different route. I opened Photoshop Elements, and tried to use Bridge to browse photos. I can find the iPhoto library easy enough, but if I click on it, it opens iPhoto, and I'm stuck - can't open the photos in Photoshop.
I am hoping that if I do it correctly, I can save my edits directly back into iPhoto.
Any ideas?

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
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.

Population of XML file from bridge?

I have a flash runtime for displaying pictures that reads the filename, thumbnail filename and a description of the picture and it reads the information from an .xml file. What I would like to do is type in a description of each picture using metadata in bridge, highlight the pictures I want (in the order I want them in) and have bridge perform the following tasks.
1. Resize them to the size I specify.
2. Create a small thumbnail of it (again at a specified size).
3. Create and populate an .xml file with the information described above for each picture selected.
I am quite sure 1 and 2 should be fairly easy, but don't know if #3 is even possible. Does anybody have any bright ideas?

Thanks for the info. There are flash galleries that come with bridge, but how would you find out how they are generating XML? I would think that is code inside the program itself that is not available for viewing. Anyway, here is the xml that is needed. Here is the basic workflow I need.
1. Add a brief description to each photo using one of the attribute fields in bridge.
2. Select pictures in bridge in the order you want them to appear.
3. Resize the pictures and optimize them for the web at a consistent size.
4. Create a thumbnail graphic.
5. Copy the images and thumbnails to a specified directory.
6. Create an xml file as shown below.
Again, thanks in advance for any help!
