Editing picture settings

So I have a picture that has already been loaded onto the timeline, rendered, and is thus no longer in the 'clips' area since it has already been placed on the timeline. I want to change the motion settings, so I click 'media' then 'photos' then select the photo by clicking it on the timeline, then select 'show photo settings' under the 'media' pane. The problem is that once I click to show the settings the place where the picture should be, where it's viewed to see the resulting motion, there is no longer a photo. The viewing area turns completely black, on every photo that I hit show photo settings, so it makes it useless and I can't edit them at all. What to do?

Wow I wish I had read this a few hours ago. I have a
project with over 300 pictures that I am now forced
to reimport. This is not a bug, it is a major
problem.
Yup, it's a major problem for anyone who makes slideshows. It was introduced in iMovie 6.0.3, if I recall. Apparently some programmer decided he's make the iMovie Trash smaller by discarded images the project no longer needed, forgetting that users might want to Update a clip later.
Apple doesn't read this forum. Please report the problem you had here:

  • IPhoto does not show any of my edited pictures

    I recently upgraded from SL to Lion. After that, all I wanted to restore was iphoto, so I restored the iphoto folder. After that all my events but five was black and showed no pictures, all thumbs was corrupt etc. So I started iPhoto while holding two keys down, like I read I should, and then I restored everything but one option. I left it for the night as it seemed to take for ever. Today everything looked fine, great! Or.. no all photos I ever edited looks as they originaly did. All modifications are gone, atleast thats what I thought but then I looked in the iphoto folder and the modified folder is still there and full of photos. If I click edit on a previously edited picture I see the modified version ... when I return to event or album view, it shows orignal again. Help please!

    Where did you restore the library from?  Time Machine?  If so resore it again (you can keep both) and when the library has been restored download and run  BatChmod  on the library with the settings in the screenshot below:
    Click to view full size
    Launch iPhoto and check your edited photos.  If that doesn't  help try rebuilding the library using  iPhoto Library Manager  as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IMovie Picture Settings Problem

    Hello Apple Support Boards members,
    The pop-up window of my picture settings when choosing a photo to import (you know, with the Ken Burns effects) is out of my screen's range.
    I discovered that using Exposé, but it seems this pop-up window is literally unreachable, being a bit further from the edge of my screen. (right edge that is).
    How can I reset its position/ have it back?
    Thanks in advance.

    This problem can be caused by iMovie's failure to handle one of its own features.
    The location of the Photo Settings Window is "stuck" to the location of the project window opening it. This can cause the Photo Settings window to disappear off screen.
    Recipe for the problem:
    1. Place the project window in the lower right corner of the screen.,
    2. Open the Photo Settings window. Drag it to the upper left corner of the screen.
    3. Move the project to the upper left corner of the screen.
    4. Switch to editing something OTHER THAN photos, which causes the Photo Settings window to close.
    5. Now try to open the Photo Settings window. It is inaccessible. It is off-screen, where you can't see it.
    6. To rescue the Photo Settings window, drag the project window back to the lower right corner of the screen. Or Quit iMovie and re-open the project.
    To avoid this problem, routinely place the Photo Settings window over the Preview area.
    Another way to avoid the problem is for the iMovie programmers to check the location of the window before it opens, and always move it on screen. (Tsk, tsk.)

  • How can I get the edited pictures from the thumbnails to full size?

    I upgraded to iPhoto 11, the thumbnail photos show my previous edits, but when I click on the photo to make it bigger, it reverts back to the unedited, original picture.  How can I get the edited pictures from the thumbnails to full size?

    Verify you are using iPhoto11 ver 9.5
    if not run the >Software update or check your apps folder and make sure the correct iPhoto is launched,  not an older ver.

  • How do I transfer a multiple number of my edited pictures from iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my mac?

    I have been working on my ipad with iphoto. First I transferred the pictures from my SD card with connection kit and then I started to edit a lot of them. Now i need to transfer them back to my mac. I would like to continue manage them in Iphoto on the mac but I can not find the option. When I import the pictures via Iphoto or aperture the pictures transfers without the changes I made on the Ipad. I've also tried the command "Send to Itunes" but nothing happens. Do I really need to convert every edited picture to the camera roll ONE BY ONE and then sync the normal way? And I need them with no loss of quality because I want to print a book later. Please help.

    There is no link between iPhoto (or Aperture) on your Mac and the app on iOS. So you'll need to export from the iOS app and then import to your preferred app on the Mac. For details on that:
    The iPhoto for iOS forum is here

  • My user account on my MacBook Pro isn't giving me the option of 'edit picture'. How can I solve this problem?

    So basically, I recently got a MacBook Pro, and the first thing I did when I got it, was set up my user account. However, I soon noticed that the only options for a user account icon were icons that my MacBook came with (flowers, footballs, piano etc.) or if I took a picture with my webcam. I know that I'm supposed to have an option of selecting a picture from my iPhoto library etc. but my mac isn't letting me do that. It's not giving me the option of 'edit picture' which I know directs you to your photo library.
    <---- see, the 'edit' button doesn't highlight unless I click on a picture.
    I'd appreciate it if someone could help.... thanks a lot!
    -Durkit

    You don't have to do it that way. All you need do is click on the image then click on this icon:
    This is the Edit symbol, apparently.

  • How do I OUTPUT an edited picture file from the iPad (latest) to an external USB for easy transfer?

    I am a photographer and I use my camera and iPad everyday. Camera takes pictures, connect to iPad, edit pictures with iPad software, output to Internet somwhere (Dropbox, etc..).
    However, sometimes I need to hand someone a USB stick with an edited picture on it that came directly from the iPad. I know that I could do it by buying another computer but that would be silly. I do not have another computer.
    I need to get the picture file OFF the iPad onto an external storage device (USB stick for instance). Can anyone help?

    Currently you can't use the camera connection kit to export pic to a USB thumb drive or an SD card.

  • Is there a way I can edit pictures in Lightroom 5 on my mac and be able to switch to my pc if I have my catalog and my pictures on an external hard drive?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro and I also have a Wacom Cintiq companion and I would like to be able to edit my pictures on both the computers. I prefer using my mac but sometimes, when I need to be more precise with my editing, I like to use my Wacom Cintiq companion. I followed the steps to install my catalog and pictures on an external hard drive, then added the ''Folder'' of pictures in both computers but the problem I have is that since a PC and a Mac doesn't read the hard drive ''root'' the same way, it creates a second folder on my mac that I can't have access and I am not able to edit pictures on one computer and keep them on the other computer.
    Can someone help me??
    Here is an exemple of what I get ...

    Contact the Apple account security team for your country and request assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  If you can prove your identity to them, they can reset the password and help you regain control of the account.

  • Edited pictures open in a zoom in portion of the picture

    I quick edited pictures in iPhoto.  When I open the pictures, they open with a zoom in on only a portion of the picture.  All pictures that I edited performed this way.  Those not edited openned correctly.  I could duplicate the picture and that picture openned correctly.  What would cause this to happen?

    I save and replace into iPhoto. iPhoto is version 11
    So you are importing the edited photo as a new file? If you are using PSE as the external editor, then you should save, not Save As, for the photo to  become a version in iphoto. However, there's a problem with that, because you would need to set the PSE editor preferences>saving files>On first save, to Save Over Existing, and in PSE 9/mac there's a bug that just opening that preference window causes PSE to stop appending the file extension to the files. You must add it manually each time.
    You need to pick one or the other: either let iphoto handle the round trip or export, edit in pse, reimport.

  • Photoshop Album 1.0: How do I reconnect 350 "edited pictures" showing as disconnected files?

    I purchased and downloaded PS Elements 13 64-bit Win7 from the Adobe website to a new Dell Inspirion 64-bit with Win 7 Pro.  I have previously been using a registered copy of Photoshop Album 1.0 and Photoshop Elements 2.0 since 2005.  The most recent use was on a computer running Windows 7 Pro operating system using the virtual XP to run PSE.  That computer was fried by a lightning strike.  However, I retrieved the hard drive in good working order with files intact.  I am currently running the PSE program on an old PC with XP and accessing the picture files (9,600) on the old hard drive attached as an external J: drive.  My goal is to transfer all picture files to the new Dell Inspirion where the new PSE 13 resides.  I couldn’t get the PSE 2.0 program to access the picture files!
    I finally figured out how to use MS Access to change the drive reference to J:/.
    1) there were a number of line items that seemed to be anomalies in the Access table.  Could these be a cause for the following disconnects?
    It seemed that I was about prepared to transition to the new computer and PSE 13, but then after opening PSE 2.0, I found I still had about 350 disconnected files (indicated by a “?” in place of the pic icon).  I then determined that most, if not all of the disconnects, had one thing in common: they were all “edited pictures” and obviously some of my most valued pictures.  I have started to reconnect them one at a time, but it’s very time consuming!
    2) Is there a more efficient way to accomplish these reconnections?
    If I understand it correctly, the PSE acts like a card catalog in the library where it simply references the actual location of the original and/or edited files.
    3) Ultimately, how do I transfer all the reconnected pictures and the associated files and folders to the new computer?
    Thanks for any advice or assistance you can offer!
    <edited by admin to be readable>

    Thanks for your quick response.  I respectfully question with your conclusion that I am in the wrong forum!  Adobe Photoshop Album v 1.0 is the specific program I have used for nine years and that is the program I just reopened to verify it's title and that is the program wherein all the Adobe advice is to reconnect all my files before proceeding to convert to Photoshop Elements 13.  The original box describes it as "The fast and easy way to organize and share your lifetime of photos." My apologies for even mentioning the Photoshop Elements 2.0 (the original box describes it as "image-editing software" which I seldom ever used.  Apparently the functions of PSA & PSE has changed over the many versions, as I first went to the Elements forum and  I can't seem to find anyone in the PSE forum to offer any help.  Is Photoshop forum not the forum that would deal with Photoshop Album? There is a forum I see for Photoshop Album Starter Edition, but a quick review of messages seems to relate to something more recent than my product which is not entitled Starter Edition.  Thanks for any clarification in getting me to the right forum if this is not it! 

  • Editing Site Settings Gives "Unable to process your request"

    Hi,
     I get "unable to process your request" when trying to edit the FIM portal site settings. I'm using my domain admin account I installed FIM under, which is also a SharePoint administrator. I'm trying to edit some basic UI details.
    I've installed FIM 2010 R2 SP1 on SharePoint Foundation 2010 with SQL 2008 R2. I tried logging into the FIM portal with the fim service account, but this still gives the same error when editing site settings. I'm using separate servers for the fim portal,
    fim service DB and fim sync server (all have their firewalls turned off).
    Advice on how to resolve this is much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks Tomek,
    Managed to get this working - I missed out the alternate access mappings on SharePoint 80. Simply adding the internal and internet URLs worked :-)

  • Edit pictures and graphics in a pdf document

    I have many pdf documents that need new and updated logos (jpg images).  How do I delete the old logos and replace them with the new one?  I have Office 2010 and Acrob V10.1.4 but cannot find how to edit pictures.

    If you only have a few to change, use the information on Deepak's link. It tells you how to use the Edit Object tool.
    If you need to change a lot of them, you should really work on the original files - PDFs are not designed to be edited very easily. It's a simpler process in Acrobat XI but you still need to change each image by hand, one at a time.
    Bill suggests exporting to Word (File > Save As > Microsoft Word) - that will give you editable content but will remove anything interactive about the PDF file and tends to mess about with formatting. It's very much a last resort option.

  • Iphoto 11 edited pictures are shown in reduced size

    Hello,
    maybe someone has a tip:
    I have imported some very important Jpegs from a Nikon D90 to Iphoto. Then right click and edit in external photo editor (Photoshop). After finsihed editing, hit the save button. Closed the photo in Photoshop, and returned to Iphoto, where the new enhanced image show up.
    Up to here "everthing normal".
    Now, opening a day later Iphoto, I can see the thumbnails of the event (as usual) , BUT when clicking on them, a heavy reduced file size picture shows up for a second, followed by a heavy zoomed in part of the Image. First I thought, okay, at least the high resolution image is still there, and I only have to zoom back with the slider to get it to normal view - but this is not possible. It stays this size.
    To save the pictures, I used the function "show edited Picture"in FInder, and so I started Copying them to a separate Folder, in fear i might loose them.
    So, pictures are saved, but library is somehow not working right. I also used the "create new thumbnails" function when starting Iphoto with command/alt. But it did not improve anything.
    Any idea how to fix it?
    Regards
    Michael

    If you're running Lion or Mt Lion that library folder will be invisible.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Once you make your library folder visible you'll be able to find and delete the iPhoto cache.

  • Why My E75 can't edit picture (jpg file, etc.)

    My previous N73, 6110Navigator can edit picture, why E75 remove this function? Thanks.
    Could next firmware version add this functionality?

    put quite simply, E75 is E for enterprise, i.e. aimed at business users who do not require this photo-editing functionality. however, a lot of other non-'business' users also purchase the E-series, so this may change in the future. but yes, basically, as with the 6xxx phones that are also S60, the Exx phones may not have some features that the N-series has, and vice-versa. Nokia makes these choices based on their target demographics. so you cannot do anything about this unfortunately. 
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!
