Filter by photo orientation

How can I filter by photo orientation (i.e. portrait versus landscape) within the currently shown collection or folder?

Okay, sort by aspect ratio, then select all the images of the group you're interested in (click and shift-click) and then make them fiterable. Either add a flag or a color, or make a keyword (portrait or landscape, perhaps), or just add them to a quick collection.

  • How do you filter for photos with develop adjustments?

    I wanted to put this information out there, because it was difficult for me to find an answer to the question of "how do you quickly filter for photos that have develop adjustments?"
    Some earlier posts in this forum observe that a smart collection has the ability to filter files wherein "has adjustments" is "true." Yes, it can do that. And it can also add in a "date" parameter for more specific targeting. But it cannot simply say, "in the current folder," or "in the selected folder." And frankly, that's the exact situation when I need to filter down to the files I want: I'm in a folder—typically the current folder that I've just imported—and I've done a smattering of develop adjustments. Now, I want to quickly select just those images for export. Can't be done, not with a Smart Collection, anyway.
    But Lightroom is nothing if not deep, and if you approach the problem from a filtering standpoint, it will eventually get you there—but the solution is very non-obvious. Expose the filter bar, with your favorite preset: camera info, default columns... it doesn't really matter. Hover over the header bar and to the far right will become visible the "add column" widget. Add a column. From the pop-up menu on the name will come a long list of options, the second-to-last of which is "develop preset." Once that's in place, click on "custom." Save your current settings as a new preset and give it a descriptive name like "adjusted images."
    Now, when you're in your current—or any—folder, just click on "metadata" in the filter bar, and your custom preset will be in effect: any images that you've worked on will be selected. It's a fast, one-click selection.
    If there's another way of doing this (keep in mind it's for the selected or current folder only), let me know. It's such a seemingly desirable action that I'm kind of astounded there's no built-in or easy or obvious way to do it... or that no photographer has requested it.

    I am honored to have a response from Rikk "MVP" Flohr, and I do readily agree that your approach is one way to approach the issue. It puts the relevant images in a discrete area that is easy to access. However (this is where I look a gift horse in the mouth) I find "sorts" a bit underwhelming in comparison to "filtering." Two problems: first, the sort still does not 'clear your deck' of unwanted images. You still have to squint at the badges and carefully select the range at the top (or bottom). Mistakes can be made (and I would be the first to make them). Second, the sort command is "sticky," meaning that folder will always have that sort unless you undo it. In general, I think most photographers want to see a folder's images sorted by capture time, so they can easily glance to the beginning, middle, and end of the shoot. With my method, once you click out of the folder, the filter is taken away and you're back to normal.
    I do understand that Lightroom wants me to flag my images with rankings or stars or colors or dancing beavers or what-have-you. But in this particular situation, that's an extra step. If I've applied development adjustments, it's already done. Why shouldn't I be able to choose "Select Developed Photos" from the Edit menu, right under "Select Flagged Photos"?

  • Photo Orientation Incorrect When Viewing MobileMe

    I've tried to find a solution to this by searching other posts. What I've found is this is not a new problem. I have two AppleTVs and I have the same problem on both units.
    But this is the real oddity. The photos not only display correctly orientated when viewed through a browser on both a Mac and iPhone (as well as the MyGallary app), but they also display correctly on AppleTV when previewing (as they carousel) while in the applicable onscreen navigation menus, and when they are displayed as a screen saver set to "Floating". However, if directly viewing in slideshow or when the screen saver is set to "Slideshow" the orientation is all messed up. And the current photos I'm view where also all taken with an iPhone and uploaded directly to the users MobileMe account.
    And on top of all that, when I viewed the first 4-5 photos on AppleTV (now up to 15 photos) they displayed in the correct orientation. Now some of those that did display correctly are messed up.
    How can the preview and floating screensaver correctly display the photos, they have a wrong orientation when in slide show. Again, this is on two aTVs. Seriously, there have only been Apple devices and Apple services used - this is should not be happening.
    I've have this problem in the past on both aTVs, but the pictures where taken with a Canon and uploaded to mobileme from an iMac. I figured it was a minor inconvenience and that Apple would resolve this in subsequent updates - this was over a year ago.
    The only thing I've tried to do so far is to delete the user's MobileMe account and then re-added - nothing corrected.
    Oh, and the software is up to date on both units.

    Clear instructions: Click on photo in iPhoto, then go to File, choose 'Reveal in Finder', select 'Original File'. A window opens up where the original photo file is held. Open the photo in Preview. Rotate photo as needed. Close and save. You are done. Restart your AppleTV and turn your photos on and off to share in iTunes. Ta Da, it all works and it's very easy.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Photo orientation with AppleTV

    Hello all
    I have been having some problems with photo orientation in AppleTV screen saver and in viewing the iPhoto library on AppleTV. I did all the usual things, restarted the Apple TV, restarted computer, etc. What was really strange was the photos I had changed rotation in iPhoto were all good. It was AppleTV which wasn't seeing them as 'corrected' images. What AppleTV was doing, was seeing the original photos, rather than the edited versions (the correctly oriented photos).
    What I had to do was go to the original source of the photo. So I had to click on the photo, then go to File, see original file. The original file was still in the incorrect position. Once I opened this in preview and corrected it, it seemed to work. Will keep you posted. What is also interesting to note is that AppleTV was having problems with the original picture files of photos taken with a camera, rather than with the iPhone. There seems to be a bug here about how the AppleTV sees original and corrected files when the photos are taken with a digital camera.
    Keen to know what others have found.
    Happy AppleTV travels everyone.

  • Photo orientation in Ipad

    Hi I'm having problems with the photo orientation in Ipad. In my pictures, I have photos both in portraint and landscape mode. When I sync in Ipad, they are all landscape, the ones in portrait are orientated in landscape. How do I fix this. In my pc picture folder they are at the right orientation, but not in the ipad. Has anyone have this problem? and how do I fix it?

    Which OS are you using?
    I believe that old versions of Windows (XP and earlier) did not understand the orientation flag that is stored in the EXIF data. Most modern cameras have orientation sensors, and the save the orientation when the photo was taken in the EXIF data for the photo (the EXIF data is metadata that is stored along with the photo data in a jpg file).
    Any decent photo browser will understand the EXIF data and will display the photo properly without having to manually rotate the photo. However, if you manually rotate the photo in Windows, the photo data will be rotated, but the orientation flag will not be changed. When the photo is loaded into the iPad, it interprets the marker in the EXIF metadata and rotates the photo a second time.
    I'm not sure that this is your problem, but if it is your problem, then the photo is being displayed incorrectly on the PC, and the iPad is displaying it "correctly".
    If you think this might be the problem, try installing a program called irfanview on your PC. You can download it at: http://www.irfanview.com
    It is a great public domain image viewer program. If you install it, try looking at your photos in irfanview and see if it also rotates your photos like the iPad does.
    Ron
    p.s. I can understand how what is happening must be annoying. The photo will be displayed incorrectly, and as you instinctively rotate the iPad to fix it, it auto-rotates again leaving the photo always in the wrong orientation.
    My OS is windows 7. So to fix it, I should rotate my pictures in my pc folder in landscape mode so that in the ipad it will be in portrait? As of right now in my pc folder my landscape pictures is in landscape in ipad but my portrait pictures is also in landscape in ipad. And no matter what I do, the portrait ones are always landscape. I've deleted the ipod photo cache and resynced. And no changed.

  • FAQ: Can I filter the photos to show just those taken by someone, or liked, or commented on?

    FAQ: Can I filter the photos to show just those taken by someone, or liked, or commented on?
    Answer:
    Yes, GroupPix can show you just subsets of photos at a time.
    To see just the photos from a particular person,
    iOS: go into full screen view for a photo, then tap that person's name; you will see a grid showing only those photos contributed by that person.
    Android: go into an event, select the menu under the Event name, and tap 'Photographer' to show a list of contributors to an event. Tap a person to see their photos.
    To see photos that are liked or have comments, tap the Filter button in the upper-left of the screen. Then, choose just Liked Photos or Commented Photos.

  • Photo Orientation on Windows platforms

    I am so sick of flipping and turning my pictures every time I transfer them to my pc. Is Apple going to address this issues anytime soon?

    As I said, the orientation of photos is set in the EXIF data of the photo itself. Whatever you use to view the photo, whether it be Windows Explorer or some other program, should obey the orientation data and display the photo whichever way up it was taken.
    Picasa for Windows is written correctly and shows photos correctly. It is Windows that ignores the EXIF data, and as Microsoft make Windows, who else's problem could it be?

  • Slideshow with origami transitions - photo orientation changed

    I started playing around with the slideshow, and was happy with the origami transitions until I realized that for a few of my photos, it had rotated the images 90 degrees. They consistently showed up in the wrong orientation as the slideshow cycled through all my images.
    Is there a way to specify which is the desired orientation for display in the slideshow for a photo?
    And I wasn't messing with the angle of the iPad at all, so it wasn't changing the screen display orientation...
    Thanks!

  • Changing photo orientation

    The photo orientation on the CHAPTERS THEME main page is vertical. How do I change it to horizontal?
    thank you

    Unlike the books, calendars do not change the orientation of a frame depending on the orientation of the photo dropped into it.
    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.

  • Photos orientation not ok after syncing my ipad mini with my pc?

    When i sync my ipad mini with my pc to add photos, the photos dont keep the orientation?

    Exemple: Photo 1 is in my PC and photo 2 is in my ipad mini after the syncing.
    What can i do to have only one photo off each and in the right orientation?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the information as this helped immensely. I was having the same problem having recently purchased the iPad and using Windows Vista. Made a series of edits in "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" to correct the view on my PC by rotating and then loaded into the iPad and they were showing incorrectly. Found a quick solution was to do all the rotations whilst in file manager (i.e. viewing the icons) and not picture editor. Seems this enables them to display correctly on the PC and also go into the iPad correctly. If you actually rotate the pictures whilst editing it doesn't work.

  • Filter all photos with flash light ...

    Hi,
    how can I filter all photos that were made with a flash light?
    I only can find ISO or aperture options in the filter pane.
    Can I extend the filter pane by own filter options?
    Thanks
    Konrad

    The Filter Pane, at least in CS3, is limited as to how you can arrange your photos by the topics listed.
    If you want to list all the pictures you shot with flash you will have to use the Find function (ctrl F) and set the critera boexs to Flash, exists, and Fired.  Have not tired this but should work.
    You can save this as a collection if you want to refer to it again.

  • How can I invert (is there a filter) a photo I've just taken on my iPhone 5s?

    How can I invert (is there a filter) a photo I've just taken on my iPhone 5s? I can't figure out how to do it using the settings "invert" AND then apply it to a photo on my iPhone.

    Not sure if you can do it directly with the built in camera app.
    You can search the app store for app that will invert pictures.

  • Incorrect Photo Orientation - Aperture 3 to Apple TV 2

    About a year ago I imported my iPhoto library of about 23,000 photos to Aperture 3.  The iPhoto library had some small corruptions in it and I was hoping the more robust nature of Aperture 3 would fix these, but the import made the corruption issues significantly worse.  Old Events from iPhoto (now Projects in Aperture 3) were randomly split up all over the place, duplicates of many photos appeared and many photos seemed to have lost the EXIF(?) data indicating which way photos were taken (landscape or portrait mode). As a result of the last problem many photos were on their side or upside down.  Applecare were no use at all, claimed they had never heard of such a problem and had no idea how to solve these issues.
    After laboriously fixing most of the problems by hand over the past year, all the photos in my Aperture 3 library (now around 25,000 photos), display the correct way up.
    However, I still have one problem I can't fix.  When Apple TV picks the photos up from Aperture (on my iMac), via my WiFi network, it displays around 20% of them on their sides rather than the correct way up.  Rebooting everything multiple times hasn't fixed it. My guess is the Apple TV is reading the corrupted EXIF data associated with these photos, and ignoring their orientation as they appear (after manual correction), in Aperture.
    Does anyone have a fix or any ideas please?

    I believe that iTunes/Aperture keeps a cache for the photos shared with AppleTV. Those need to be updated. If you can figure out where the cache is and delete it, iTunes/Aperture should regenerate it in the correct orientation. Unfortunately I don't have the time now to figure out where it is.

  • Photo orientation off in appletv

    Help please.  I have been using Aperture 3.3.  Downloaded some photos from a Sony Cybershot DSC-W200.  This camera is slightly broken, or glitching, because after I take a photo, it sometimes shows up sideways or upside down, even on the camera display!  Auto orientation is set to "on" in the camera.  So I know there is a problem here, but it still takes great pictures.  I can easily rotate the pictures after downloading to Aperture, and all looks good!  Until I just picked up an AppleTV3.  Now, when I share my Aperture library to the AppleTV, the pictures on the TV are sideways and upside down again, and don't appear as they do on Aperture!  How can I straighten this out?? 

    I tried your solution - went ot File Menu, Homesharing, Choose Photos to share with AppleTV, closed iTunes, re-opened.... then went back to TV and AppleTV and drilled down through the menus. It took awhile to find where the Photos are hidden in plain sight! I THINK it is going to work. I still don't see any indications that my Mac iTunes is seeing the TV, but the photos do appear to be trasferring. The Photos selection is buried under Music as a sub-tier after the rest of the list, Artists, Albums, etc. Right now, spinning wheel, I think because it is doing a first time 'load'.
