Editing of a 2.5GB folder of Images

What is the quickest and easiest way to do a mass-edit of an image folder that is about 2.5GB in size? I only want to reduce the file size of each image so that I can upload entire folder structure at one time onto my website for clients to access. I have read the how to's and 3-page instruction several times but quite frankly they were not much help. I do a lot of youth sports leagues and am not an advanced computer literate type of person...
I will only be using LR5 for this purpose since I am more knowledgeable with other editing software for individual images.
Please advise me...

Do you have Photoshop available? If so, you'll have a much quicker time using the Image Processor batch feature in Photoshop/Bridge.
Here's a video on Adobe TV on using Image Processor to batch process multiple files.
If you must use Lightroom, you'll have to go through the process of importing the entire folder of images into Lightroom. Once in Lightroom, you can use Lightroom's export feature to export copies at the size you need.
Here's a video on Adobe TV on exporting images in Lightroom 5.

Looking to create script(s) that open a folder of image and save as each image is edited/retouched.

I used to use the iOpener plug-in to read a folder of images and present each image to me to edit/retouch. When I was done with the image, I clicked a button on a panel and it saved the resulting PSD in a designated destination folder and automagically retrieved the next image in the folder. Do this repeatedly until all images in the folder were processed. Fundy had a nice tool (Batch Editor), but it is end-of-life and not being offered anymore and iOpener seems to no longer be maintained. Target app is Photoshop CS6 / CC.
I want to build a simple set of scripts, embedded in a panel, that would let me replicate the basic function of these tools. Open an image from a selected folder. Let me do all the edits I want. Then save the result to a designated destination folder (or just a Save and Close), the serve up the next image.
I have many years of software development in other languages, but relatively new to adobe scripting so am looking for example code to get me heading the right direction. Also doesn't hurt to know whether something like this already exists and I can just use it.
Thanks!

PERFECT!!!!!!
This is exactly what I was going to build. No need to create when it is already done.
Thank you very much.

I want to share a folder of images with a client who is also using bridge. I want the client to be able to edit metadata and rate the image. How can I do this?

I want to share a folder of images with a client who is also using bridge. I want the client to be able to edit metadata and rate the image. How can I do this?

Metadata won't be a problem as long as you use Bridge to copy the file from within Bridge to whatever media (flash drive, CD/DVD. email, etc) you plan to use for the sharing.
I'm not sure about the Label part. Maybe it will travel along too.

Does iPhoto refresh a folder of images?

First of all: what a stunning bit of kit! While I have had iPhoto in one form or another I have not really had time to give it a work through and it is certainly impressive.
I suppose I need guidance on two matters:
1 - is it possible to have two libraries?
Reason: working with digital camera images is one aspect but I also do some creative artwork/images and would prefer one library for images from digital cameras and another library for creative artwork (whether abstract or adjusted images)
and
2 - will iPhoto refresh contents of imported folder of images?
I suppose this has more to do with creative artwork or image adjustments where some adjustments are made and stored into a source folder with details already in iPhoto. Will the additional images after iPhoto import update or can iPhoto be prompted to update?
Ta in advance

1 - is it possible to have two libraries?

Yes - you can have any number of iPhoto libraries - to create a new one depress the option key and launch iPhoto and use the create library option - option launching and using the select library option allows you switch between libraries - iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - is a great told for managing multiple libraries
2 - will iPhoto refresh contents of imported folder of images?
I suppose this has more to do with creative artwork or image adjustments where some adjustments are made and stored into a source folder with details already in iPhoto. Will the additional images after iPhoto import update or can iPhoto be prompted to update?
No - you can not update iPhoto with changes made outside of iPhoto - you can set a different editor for doing iPhoto edits which will work fine

How to convert a folder of images to a Collection?

Ques 1
How do I convert a folder of images that has been sorted, files rejected, files hidden, and so on, to a Collection? When I create a New Collection and drag the images across from the folder, all editing is lost and the images appear in alphabetical order. I'm using CS6.
Ques 2
What is the location of the file that contains the sorted/rejected/hidden data for a folder?

A Collection is just a saved search. It does not contain any images.
Wonder why your question went unanswered for so long?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,

Moving picture from Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition 3.0 to a folder in MY PICTURES

What is a simple way to move a picture (or group of pictures) from Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition 3.0 to a folder in MY PICTURES? I do not have a PHD in computer science, but I am a Grandpa, so please make the directions simple. I have a PC with Windows XP. Thank you.

Hi Chester,
Unfortunately with the SE version, it does NOT have a MOVE utility. The GOOD
news is that it will update itself on where you physically moved the
picture.
Step 1. Click on Start, Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer and locate
the image that you wish to move;
Step 2. Move the image to My Pictures per your question;
Step 3. Open Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition;
Step 4. Click File, Reconnect All Missing Files.
That my friend should be it. Have a nice day.
Cheers

Create a smart folder for images imported "TODAY"

Is it possible to create a smart folder for images imported today? The only close option I have been able to find is by selecting the "import session" option, but that forces me to select from a series of sessions that have already been imported. I'd like to be able to have a single folder, day after day of what I imported today almost like the iPhoto "last roll" folder. Possible?

There is a Filter Rule "Import Session" but as implemented (as you discovered) it isn't easy to use.
What I do is:
. add "Import Session" to the "List -- Expanded View" Metadata Overlay
. click "Photos"
. change to List
. change to Expanded Overlay if needed
. click the column header "Import Session" (note that this adds "Import Session" to the sort drop-down)
. change back to Grid view as needed
I use this to confirm imports, and to find any that I mis-placed.
HTH.

How can i see the previews of a folder's images from the Thumbnail View?

I mean, in windows XP if you set the Thumbnail View, inside the icon of the folder you can see the preview of the images inside ( like this http://mowd.idv.tw/LonghornPDC/folder_preview.JPG )...
Is there a way to do it on Mac OS X? Maybe some plug-in, some file manager: anything...i often have to check out thousands of photos to find the reference for an illustration, and it's pretty frustrating having to open up every folder...
Thanks in advance
iMac 24" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

but none of these two options allows me to see a folder's images BEFORE opening it...
You want to go back and try that again... just right click on the folder - you don't have to open it - and choose 'Show In PicturePopPro2'.
Check out the icons on the menu bar - you can get a contact sheet view, move from shot to shot using the arrow keys... it'll do what you want.

Hi Frank,
Thanks.
My HD is a "normal" HD, so I guess it's HFS+. (According to Disk Utility it is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
The NAS is WD MyBook Live Duo. I just plugged into my Time Machine.
I am relocating using Aperture "relocate originals for project" under the File tab.
Ahh, thanks for the answer to question 1.
Yes, I am trying to relocate them, but tried different things to find the problem.
And the problem seems to be that when an image gets an extra attribute (when it's downloaded from the internet, when it is comes from a mail message) then Aperture seems not to be able to move the file.
I.e. Aperture presumeably asks the Finder or kernel to perform this task, and this then fails because of the extra attirbutes that were set.
I now found a way of manually removing the extra attributes, but that is a pain.
Think of this normal workflow:
- someone sends me an email containing images
- I move the images to my Desktop
- I then import the images into Aperture
- I then decide to relocate my images for that project to my NAS
Then is when this problem occurs.
So I just tried to relocate to another place on my HD.
That works fine.
I looked again at the error message.
And it says "could not set attributes com.apple.metadata:kMDItemDownloadedDate on destination file descriptor" .
So, yes, it seems like it has to do with the NAS not supporting setting the extra attributes.
And as long as there are no extra attributes on an image, there is no problem.
(Not completely true, but I have another thread about that)
Thanks Frank, I have to digest this a bit.
Regards
Jan

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from

Can't save an edited PDF to the same folder it originated from. Error "cannot save the document is read-only or is open by someone else" and then it prompts to save the document to another folder or change the name of the document. This is not what I want to do! Using WIndows 7

Hi JC_AUS,
Thank You for posting on the forums. This can happen if the preview of the document is opened in preview pane in Windows Explorer.
Kindly switch off the preview pane and then try the same.

How to load folder with images php with oracle

Hi i want to upload from my php form folder with images what should i fix in my php code for 1 image?
<?php
define("ORA_CON_UN", "obrazy");
define("ORA_CON_PW", "miksas1");
define("ORA_CON_DB", "//localhost/orcl");
if (!isset($_FILES['lob_upload'])) {
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
Image filename: <input type="file" name="lob_upload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>
<?php
else {
$conn = oci_connect(ORA_CON_UN, ORA_CON_PW, ORA_CON_DB);
// Insert the BLOB from PHP's tempory upload area
$lob = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB);
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, 'INSERT INTO FOTKI (FOTKAID, FOTKA) '
.'VALUES(:MYBLOBID, EMPTY_BLOB()) RETURNING FOTKA INTO :FOTKA');
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':MYBLOBID', $myblobid);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':FOTKA', $lob, -1, OCI_B_BLOB);
oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
// The function $lob->savefile(...) reads from the uploaded file.
// If the data was already in a PHP variable $myv, the
// $lob->save($myv) function could be used instead.
if ($lob->savefile($_FILES['lob_upload']['tmp_name'])) {
oci_commit($conn);
echo '<p>Obrazek załadowano</p>';
else {
echo "Couldn't upload Blob\n";
$lob->free();
oci_free_statement($stmt);
oci_close($conn); // log off
?>

The first thing I'd suggest you fix is the forum to which you posted the question.
The name of this forum is "Oracle Database General Questions." That is questions about the database ... not questions about PHP.
Look further and you will find the correct forum.

Have you looked at re-arranging the reading-order itself under View/Navigation Panels/Order/
This will provide you with the ability to fine-tune content for reflow and read-aloud ..
Hope this helps,

How can I get IMAQ ReadFile to read a folder of images?

Hi,
So I did read a previous post on an error message of "IMAQ ReadFile access is denied." I think mine is the same one:
Error -1074395992 occurred at IMAQ ReadFile
File access denied.
Possible reason(s):
IMAQ Vision: (Hex 0xBFF604A8) File access denied.
Problem is that I still can't seem to figure out why I can't get the IMAQ ReadFile function to read the entire folder of images. I've attached my VI. My goal is to get the area of a certain part of the image (through thresholding) and export it to a text file, excel, etc in a table format. I will be taking about 1000 images/sec, so batch processing is...very needed.
For now, my VI just has it reading the image and outputing some statistics (which include the area) with the Particle Analysis Report function. I haven't figured out how to do the export into file - if anyone has insight in that, too, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
