Editing tags in Editor view

I am using Elements 4.0 and have added tags (keywords)to several shots in the Organizer view. It has become necessary to remove some of the tags associated with the shots and I have done that by right clicking and selecting remove tags and removing necessary tags. This went well but when I open the image in the editor and check Files>file info the revised list of keywords is not changed and the old unedited list of keywords (tags) remain. I have tried updating the thumbnail in the organizer, saving the photo as a different name, closing both programs, but nothing works. The keywords cannot be deleted in the file info area. How can I get the edited list of keywords (tags) to show up in the file info section in the Editor? Thank you

I think I must be the world's worst jinx.
"Metastripper" does not seem to work properly for me either.
Running it with the IPTC box only checked, it removes all EXIF data as well as IPTC (which I do not want to do).
Actually it is even more confusing. In the output files, the IPTC keywords still show up in Exifer and Irfanview but not in Opanda.
I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that the EXIF and IPTC "standards" must be so complex and open to different interpretation by different software developers, that straying very far from the beaten track is a bit of a minefield of incompatibilities. It is probably best just to use EXIF and IPTC in a simple way and not attempt any complicated manipulation.
Actually what I was wondering was this. If I deleted ALL keywords from all my photos (assuming I can find a program to do this reliably), would a "write tags to files" cause Organizer to put back all the "active" keywords, thereby geting rid of all the obsolete unwanted keywords? (Or would Organizer only write out the tags which it thinks need writing?)

Editing tags in code view

im relatively new to dw 8 and have a problem. in split vied
or code view I cant edit change or remove tags. ie if i want to
remove a <font> tag. i can highlight it in the code view
window but if i try to cut nothing happens. Im sure i just have a
setting wrong but what?

Is the code in question black or gray?? If ou are using a DW
teomplate,
some of our code areas will be "locked" (gray) and uneditible
unless you
edit the template itself. Make sense?

Cross Reference Sources appearing in Story Editor view but not appearing in the Cross Ref pane

I have imported a Word document containing working cross references into an InDesign document. The vast majority of these cross references import correctly and link to their destinations within the document, however there are some that are not working. If I view the text frame in the story editor view, I can see these "broken" cross reference sources that came in from the Word doc but on selecting them I can see that there isnt a corresponding entry for it in the cross reference pane. As said, there are only a few that are behaving like this.
What could be causing these not to appear in the cross reference pane?
Obviously as they are not appearing in the list of cross references I can't update them, and also, as they are technically broken cross references, because a source exists for them but there is no corresponding entry in the pane, then on export to epub, InDesign crashes (If there is one broken cross reference in a document, export to Epub will crash indesign).
Also, to clarify, in the Word doc if I navigate to a cross reference that is failing once in InDesign, I can update it properly, and also navigate to its destination in the Word doc, so it's not as though these cross references are broken before coming into InDesign. Also I believe the destinations for these "broken" cross references are coming across properly to indesign too as I can see them in the story editor view.
Supposed Cross Reference source selected in Story Editor view on left, but no corresponding cross reference highlighted in pane on right:
Technical Details:
InDesign CS5.5 - Version 7.5.3
Microsoft Word 2010, File type .docx

I have found the possible cause of this problem!
If a table is used within the Word document somewhere between where the cross reference source is and its destination then that particular cross reference will be broken as described above in my initial post.
So the "fix" is to remove any occurances of a table in the Word document and the cross references come into InDesign perfectly. This is actually not a fix at all. I need to use tables in the Word document for layout purposes so if they break cross references if they stand between them and their destinations then I have to compromise, i.e. use tables but with no cross references in the document or vice versa.
I found a similar issue recently with index markers in Word causing a shift on the cross reference tags when bought into InDesign. The "fix" again for that was to remove all index markers from the Word document. See post about this here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1043981
InDesign really needs to sort out the issues with importing of Word documents with cross references in them. If I can't use index markers and tables in a Word document without breaking its cross references then they can't claim to have the ability to import a Word document while maintaining its cross references into an InDesign document. It just doesnt work as ive painstakingly proven.

IPhoto '11 duplicates when editing in external editor

What the topic says. iPhoto automatically creates a duplicate, that actually shows up as a duplicate in the library, when you choose to edit a photo in an external editor (such as Photoshop). It used to just replace the original, thus showing only the edited version (though keeping the original file if you want to go back to it), which is exactly what happens if you choose to just edit in iPhoto.
Bug? Feature?

Same problem. I edit in external editor (PSE) and an edited copy shows up as well as the original. I highlite the edited copy and try to revert to original and nothing happens. I send the edited copy to the trash and empty the trash, highlite the original again and choose edit in external editor and the edited version pops up again as if I had never trashed it.
Another annoying issue: I really don't want to mess around with slide shows but am forced to if I want to look at a photo in full screen view. iPhoto 09, full screen view meant, highlite a photo, full screen view, photo shows up in full screen. Simple and exactly what I want. Now full screen simply means the left column disappears and I'm looking at a full screen of thumb nails. What good is that? OK, so I'll play that game. Select slide show, window pops up the first time asking for slide show settings. Select classic instead of disolve and check that as the default. Every single event that window pops up asking me for slide show settings even though I have selected my defaults. I have something like 850 events and I got very annoyed selecting classic as my default every single time. And why do they imagine I want to listen to music? I clone mt hard drive once a week and have a copy of my drive with iPhoto 09 on it. I'm going back to 09.

Edit in External Editor Oddity

After using Photoshop Elements to make some edits to a photo I'll save it, close it and come back to iPhoto. Oddly, the edits don't appear when viewing the photo back in iPhoto (in any of the edit options: Edit, Edit in Separate Window, Edit in Fullscreen) but the changes do appear if I Edit in External Editor or export the image.
It's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.1 (354).
Any ideas?

Murray:
You are making sure you're saving as a jpg file and not a psd file, right?
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.

Edit Tags in DSC RTS 8.0

I just received our first copy of the LV 8 DSC RTS and as I'm anxious to test, how hard an update to LV 8 will be for us, I installed it.
The most important question I currently have, is: where is the tag editor, or the equivalent of it?
In LV DSC 7.1 DSC RTS is a tag editor where I did define which database to log to and what to log to the database. Can I do this in LV 8 DSC RTS as well? What program do I have to use? Actually the install of the LV DSC 8.0 RTS didn't add any entries to the start menu as well (on a Win2K machine).
So do I have to recompile my application everytime if I want to:
change the database the data is logged to?
change the scaling of logged data?
change deadband, timing settings, etc.?
With the old Tag Engie I could edit all these things in the Tag Editor without ever recompiling my applications!
Currently I have the impression, that using DSC has got much more complicated...
Best regards,
Carsten

Does that really mean, there's no global GUI available in the DSC RTS anylonger where I can change logging conditions, etc.?
The workflow I want to use (as I do in 7.1), is:
Create a database.
Create a configuration of fieldpoint channels to be stored in database (with scaling, deadband, etc.).
Attach the configuration to the database.
Use a LV program to show some of the values (or not).
In LV DSC RTS 7.1 I just used the included Tag Engine Editor to define the database and all the logging parameters without the need to write a dedicated LV program. As we have a defined naming scheme for our data, I could easily attach datasocket URLs to GUI elements programatically (I used the elements names and then tested on initialization if a tag with that name exists or not).
If there's is no tool in LV 8 DSC RTS like the tag engine editor were I can define how to log data to a database without creating any LV program at all any more, LV DSC 8 won't be usable for us (and with that unfortunately LV 8!).
As I see I could create something like the tag engine editor using LV 8 DSC development system maybe, but neither do we have the man power, nor am I willing to do so, considering that I pay an update fee to do this work... :-(
So long,
Carsten
PS: yes, testing LV 8 DSC RTS left me in a bad mood...

My ~/.ncmpcpp contains an empty error.log file. So what did you do to get tag stuff working? What does your conf look like?

Pages editor view

Is there a way to edit in iOS Pages without having to scroll all over the document as I write? I continue to use MS Word and Google Sheets for iOS because they have an editor view for typing, and then you can exit the editor view to see the whole document. Is there functionality like that in Pages? If not, I'd love to see that in future releases.

No, there isn't.

Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?

Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?
The requirement is - User should be able to enter comments in a edit box for a section in a dashboard and save it. For other users, this should show up as a non-editable comment while for the user it should be editable box.
Example: In a report in a section on dashboard for Supplier Trends, a Purchase Manager should enter the commments -" This weeks trends show no issues. Next week watch out for supplier X". For everyone other than him, this should show up as comments.
1. Is there a way to achieve this functionality?
2. Can this be achived using write back option?
3. Or will this require java scripting?
Thanks

Hi,
If you want to have a better experience of your music files, how about just use WMP to enjoy all the songs, you can
sort by Artists or Album or whatever you like. There, you can have a better and easier way to organize all your music
files.
For Windows Explorer, did you mean
medium size icons in artist, while list icon in albums, you can just organize as you want like the following screenshot.
If I'm missing something, please free contact me.

ITunes 11 Edited Tags Changing/Reverting

Hello,
I have an iTunes collection that has been building since 2006. I divide my music into a few categories using the "grouping" tag. Often times when I edit the "grouping" tag I am overwriting either the label or a web address which had been previously added to that tag. I also use Mixed In Key software to analyze my music before adding the music to iTunes. Mixed In Key enters the key of the song into the "comments" tag and the BPM into the "BPM" tag.
I have been doing this for years and lately I have began to notice a problem. On some songs (most songs don't do this), when the song is played iTunes "refreshes" the tag and often times the "grouping" tag changes or reverts back to the info that was previously in the tag, such as the label or web address.
Further, sometimes the key that is written in the "comments" field will change to a long code of digits... something literally like 00007658935482748193.. Always beginning with several zeros.
Is there anything that I can do to have iTunes hard rewrite these fields so that they do not change by themselves?
Thanks.

Yes, others are seeing this. Something in purchased media (I am pretty sure this has only happened with purchased media) is periodically checking back with the iTunes Store and resetting the tags in the iTunes library file but not in the actual media files (metadata are stored in both). I haven't seen a truly systematic diagnosis of the issue (I use an old iTunes and have no iTunes account so I can't test anything myself). There are temporary workarounds but tags will still revert after a time.
Something to try (post by turingtest2) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26454072#26454072
If the above doesn't work:
2014 discussion about edited tags for Store purchases reverting to originals - https://discussions.apple.com/message/26077896#26077896 - edited tags are still present in the media file but revert to the originals in the iTunes library file. Workaround is to refresh tags so media file tags are re-read and used in library file.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26193185#26193185
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26335620#26335620 - user ended up rebuilding iTunes library from scratch
Send feedback to Apple about this so they know it is an issue they need to investigate:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Don't expect an immediate solution but maybe the next time they update the software it may be resolved.

Aperture - Edit with External Editor - Photoshop

Hi,
I recently made my first attempt via Aperture to "Edit with External Editor" and in my case I have the preferences set to export to Photoshop CS4 Extended. The External Editor File Format (in preferences) selected is TIFF and as advised by Apple's Help menu this is set at 16-bit. The External Editor Color Spaces is set to Adobe-RGB (1998).
I selected an image with some barrel distortion, hit the export button, and Aperture sent the new master to Photoshop. I did my fixing and saved. This automatically sends the updated file to Aperture. This is very handy and practical but I was shocked to see the size of the new and fixed file. The original file was a JPEG at 4MB and the new fixed file was a colossal 200+ MB file. I ended up throwing away the new file - too large.
I am just wondering if this is normal? This is my first time using the Edit with External Editor in Aperture and I am also quite clueless about using Photoshop efficiently and properly. Could I have done something differently and received the new and fixed file at a smaller size?
Thanks for your advice and help.

This is normal.
TIFF files get rather large and the 200 MB sounds about right. If I send a 1.63 MB JPEG at the same settings in PS CS5, I get a 134 MB TIFF after applying the Lens Correction filter and saving.
If I send the same file as a TIFF 8-bit in Adobe-RGB (1998), I get back a 54.73 MB file.
You could therefore send as an 8-bit TIFF to reduce the size. Additionally, the PSD format tends to return a slightly smaller file size (51.xx MB in the case here).
A JPEG file is actually only an 8-bit file, so it isn't really necessary to go to 16-bit, but many users like to protect against further degradation of the JPEG when editing externally (especially from posterization where smooth gradients - such as a sky - start to break down into visible steps in the color transition).
I personally send as TIFF 8-bit in the sRGB color space and if the image shows degradation, then I might change to the TIFF 16-bit (or simply not use that image).

You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

Edit in External Editor (photoshop)?

I want to do a quick edit of an image in my new version of photoshop and when I select the image in the Album or in the Published Album Aperture is not giving me an option to Photo > Edit in External Editor because this is greyed out for some reason.
I have most of the manual printed out over here and found some threads on this in iPhoto forum but to be frank I am getting a little tired of some of the secret cubbies and locks I keep running across and I am afraid that if I just read the manual I will spend another two days trying to get this to work.
I imagine this is very straightforward and would anyone mind giving me a heads up on how to do this? I just want to black out a section where my background shows the wall instead of the black curtain supposed to be used as background...
TIA for any help.

You can set Photoshop as your external editor in Aperture > Preferences > Export > Choose. It's on page 472 of the manual.
If you have downloaded the pdf of the Aperture 3 User Manual, you can use it interactively in Preview. I think you will find that you can get answers for most things much faster by using Preview's search window for the Aperture manual than by asking in Communities.
If you are printing out the manual from the web version rather than having the pdf you can download it here.

Help! Can't edit tags, everything is grayed out.

Hey there.
I've recently got a new laptop and my iTunes library is located on an external hard drive. When I try to edit a single song (via "Get Info") I cannot change anything, everything is grayed out. However, it allows me to change the information when I select multiple songs (strange).
I thought it might be due to "read only" files, but they files are not "read only". It says I have full reading and writing permission, I can edit the tags through WinAmp, but why can't I edit tags through iTunes?
Not all the songs are grayed out though, the songs that I've recently ripped I can edit freely in iTunes.
I'm using the latest iTunes version 7.5 and Windows Vista.

The the music folder on the external drive was created on another computer, it is possible that Vista does not regard it as yours and has not granted write permission.
Here is some help on permissions in Vista:
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/2464a180-e5dc-45d1-a2b8-3c8a 2b571e9d1033.mspx
You need to check that your account has full control rights on your music folder.
ANother possiblity although unlikely, is that your music files have somehow been made read only, you can check this by looking at the properties for a problem file.

Guys -
Created a custom list from Import of spreadsheet (small list 29 rows-13 cols) into my sandbox team site.
Turned on inline editing and it still would not save.
So, new list and new view...still have issue.
I even went to another team member and had her create a view on her task list. She had same issue.
What would we check on the server side? I know this is an OTB function of 2010.
Thanks,
