Gallery Without Uploading Full-size Files

Can Aperture make a photo gallery for my clients to view the files only. I understand how to restrict downloading, but I have issues with loading large groups of photos big files just so the client can make a few picks. I like the web gallery idea a lot, but I would like to do it without having very large files to upload and sit in MobileMe for nothing. Before MobileMe, I did photo galleries in Photoshop and uploaded to my webserver. It was fast and easy, but I cannot figure how to do the same thing in Apeture.

Why not take a look at using a "web page" instead of a "web gallery". You can control the specs of the thumbs and subpage images exactly.

Can Prelude use the MXF preview files instead of the full size files?

It takes forever to load and view my full size MXF files from an XDCamHD disk. (It can also cause Prelude to crash) It seems like it would be very helpful to be able to view the tiny preview files contained in the "Sub" folder. You could quickly review your media, decide which files to transfer and then do so with the originals. Has anyone been able to see those files in the Prelude Ingest window? I only see the file icon, not the video media.
I had been using the Sony XDCam Transfer App with Final Cut, but am now trying to create a better workflow all inside Adobe software.

Hi AEDave -
Thanks for your post.
Wanted to share that we have been working on the performance with the XDCAM optical disc thumbnail load times (as well as other performance enhancements for this format). We are seeing a nice improvement on that front in our recent testing. And as Wes mentioned above we are also looking into how to best handle the proxy files the camera generates as well. Just wanted you to know we have improvements in the works for your workflow!
Thanks -

Portfolio: Thumbnail gallery with the full size image appearing on a darkened opacity layer?

I'm creating my photography website, and so far, my portfolio looks like this:
but I want the images to be buttons. I know how to re-load them as buttons, but then I'm stuck... I want for the full size version of each image to appear on the screen, with the background greyed out, like this quickly photoshopped version:
I've seen it done, but I just can't figure out how... I even downloaded a free template that had this, trying to replace the stock images with mine, but that didn't work either...
Thanks!

Use the 'Lightbox' widget to achieve this effect.
Or if you used another slideshow widget, there should be a Lightbox button you can mark to change to this type of view.
Double click the outside area when you change to Lightbox view (a dark box will appear around your image) to change the opacity of the background.

Issue while uploading large size file to sharepoint

How to upload 2GB into sharepoint 2010 document library using client object model. Upto 150MB its working well. While uploading more than 150MB i faced this error-- system.outofmemory exception was thrown

Hi lililil,
According to your description, my understanding is that you can't upload file which is larger than 150MB in your environment.
To fix this issue, you need to set the Maximum Upload Size in Central Administration->Application Management->Manage Web Applications->General Settings.
More information about set Maximum Upload Size:
http://www.anmolrehan-sharepointconsultant.com/2012/01/sharepoint-2010-document-library-upload.html
Also, you need to set maxAllowedContentLength in IIS web.config file:

How to get rid of thumbnails who've lost their full size photos?

How do I get rid of thumbnails who've lost their full size photos?? ... ie when I spacebar on them I get the exclamation mark ;-(
I've tried rebuilding the library with all options checked; with all except the last 2; and just the first 2 on thumbnails; and the 2nd only. All to no avail!
I expect iPhoto Library Manager would do the trick but don't want to redo my faces stuff which I believe it can't cope with yet ;-()
Long story how I got here but I've re-added recovered full size files that iPhoto '08 "lost" and now in '09 I want to get rid of the thumbnails that point to the missing files.
I now have 2 thumbnails of most pictures - one that works to the full size and the other that gets an exclamation mark! ... I want to get rid of the latter.
I can obviously just press delete on the thumbnail but I need to do it ~ 20,000 times ;-()
A thought ...can I use search somehow to only return the duds?? ... then delete all.
TIA
Barry

You may have to start over from scratch as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
This will get rid of all the orphan thumbnails and give you a clean library. Before doing that you could follow the first 8 steps of Old Toad's Tutorial #1 which will write the keywords, titles and comments to the original files so they will be there in the new library.

Restricting upload file size (without uploading it first!!)

The following code works in restricting the filesize, however it takes proportionately more time to tell you for bigger files. So does that mean its uploading it temporarily, reading it, finding out its too big, then deleting it? That would be completely backwards. Is there any way to check the filesize quickly? Because if someone tries to upload a 10mb file it will take an hour to tell them its too big!!
<cfif cgi.content_length GTE fileSizeLimit>
<cfoutput>

You might try using Flex on the client. I have not tried this technique, but *perhaps* the Flex API allows more access to the file system than JavaScript. Note that the FileReference class used in Flex file samples has a "size" property that *might* give you the size of the file on the client.
Note that this approach depends on the client using Flash Player and executing client-side code.

Ability to download full size originals from web gallery.

Unlike the pros that sell their stuff online and are concerned about people downloading usable photos, I shoot a lot of community and family events and would like a way to allow folks to download full size printable photos from the web gallery. This would keep me from getting hammered for printable files, which of course are larger than the email attachment limits for most people and thus require a sneaker-net or snail-mail delivery.
Specifically, I'd like to see a gallery similar to what we have today, with thumbnails zoomable to larger pics that are still web quality. These larger pics would have a link on them to allow downloading of a full size printable image. All of this would preferably be generated and uploaded automatically using the gallery generation interface we have today.

Dave,
I imagine that one issue that would have to be dealt with would be some kind of protection scheme. I post galleries on PBase, but not my higher-resolution "originals". PBase does, however, have a two-tiered protection scheme, password-protection, and non-public protection, so that if you post high-resolution files you can do so without the fear of people downloading them without some kind of permission. A lot of copyright marks can easily be cropped and, with a high enough resolution file, can be used without the info for print or whatever.
Anyway, you might want to include some kind of protection with the ability to download high-res files.

APERTURE users: how do we send full size images without compression? Mail compresses, Drop Box, all that have a tag "badges" next to JPEG under 'Info' in Aperture compress? What can I do, HELP Please.

In Aperture under INFO at bottom it says Badges; if it has an Icon in the block it compresses JPEG image down to KB? Using mail, using drop box with my Aperture and can't figure out how to get rid of 'Badges with the Icon in the box to be able to send full size. Also have been using: "onOne Software" an add on editing program thats awesome, works as a stand alone, Aperture, & Lightroom.
Bottom Line I can't send to lab my web page, or individule without it compressing. Even created a desk top folder droped & dragged in ZIP & still Compression?

See this link: Aperture 3 User Manual: Understanding Badge Overlays
The badges in the Info panel have nothing to do with compression. The tell you, if your image has keywords attached, if it is a raw or jpeg image, if has been externally edited, or if it is referenced.
When you send an jpeg using mail, you need to set the image size in Mail to "Acual Size", otherwise will Mail compress the image. For example:
If you have really large images, Mail may not be optimal, because the server of the recepient may refuse to accept large Mail attachments. In that case export the image from Aperture in the resolution you want with "File > Export" and compress it as a zip file. That will not reduce the quality.
Send the zipped file, if it is small enough, otherwise upload it to an ftp-server.
The receiver can uncompress it.

In my Macbook Pro finder folder under All Images, there are duplicate files, but one is small and the other is full size. I wanted to clean up the files, but don't know why I have two of everything. Any Ideas?

In my Macbook Pro, the Finder folder has duplicate images in the 'all images' file. One image is small and the other is full size. First question is why do I have two of every image? Why is one small and the other large. Do I need two of everything? If not, which do I delete?
thanks, Jean

Hello fane,
Re: duplicate images in finder.
Nearly all images are JPG with a few GIF and PNG sprinkled in.
I opened the inspector so I do get info when opening each image, but it a slow process.
It seems that one image is around 70k while its twin can be up to 4Mb which is what comes unedited from my camera. Sometimes there will be 3 or 4 identical images in finder, but when I open iPhoto to see what ‘s really in the file, I find only one image, and it’s full sized.
Are all these extra images, even if they are aliases, taking up space on my drive? And should I delete them? The info bar says I have over 10,000 images, which is rather a lot for what I do.
I am unable to add the file size on the view menu as it is grayed out. Don’t know why it’s gray, but having that info on the screen would save a lot of time and fiddling with each image.
I am trying to resize selected pix so I can upload them to e-bay, which requires less than 70k. I have looked at resizing programs but most are for PC platform and not Mac, so I am trying to resize in the finder window under tools. Tedious at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks for your help,

Saving the domain file in iWeb fails. I have tried deleting the cache. I see that the file uploads to iWeb but the message is that the domain.sites2 file can't be saved. I note that duplicating the domain gives me different size files. Ideas?

I have read other discussions and my problem persists.
I note that duplicating the domain file user/library/applications support/iweb/domain.sites2 gives me files of varying sizes (I'm at around 200Mb).
I tried rebuilding the cache ../library/caches/com.apple.iweb - no change
I found a note to delete also a preference file ../library/prefernces/com.apple.iweb bt found more than one (.../plist and .../plist.lockfile) so ducked that.
The website seems to update out of sync - as if I have a domain file elsewhere (in the cloud?) that is saving on my drive later - that doesn't make sense of the comments I have read. My domain.sites2 file is stadily growing - so one interpretation is that files are being saved and the error message is the error.
This has been a problem for about a year as I have tried many alternative solutions. I;m looking fro somethign substantially different.
One repeated situation is that I write a new page and upload it. I get the usual error message. I visit the site and there is the new page. My domain (on my machine) shows no new work, so I copy the stuff on the web back to my domain and steadily the file increases in size. Bewildering.
Everything is as up to date as it can be. I don't reboot very often as my machine is rarley off.
I'm looking for different ideas and approaches.....

Although some of the following will be a repeat but try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Gallery without XML definition of image size

Hello,
In my application, the images are actually created on the
fly. So knowing the exact dimensions at the time the XML is created
was a bit troublesome, since some images can be landscape, some can
be portrait, and they all can have different aspect ratios. So, in
it's original form, the gallery script didn't work very well for
me. Last night, I sought out a solution that would not require the
sizes to be in the XML file. Below is my refactored SetMainImage
function. Where the original version of this function downloads the
image after the opacity is reduced, this one starts by loading the
new image, then uses the Size effect to resize the frame to the new
image's size.
Hope this helps somebody else! Spry certainly has helped
me!!!!!! Thank you Adobe!
Peace,
Matt
function SetMainImage(imgPath, tnID)
var img = document.getElementById("mainImage");
if (!img) {
return;
CancelBehavior("mainImage");
Spry.Utils.SelectionManager.clearSelection("thumbnailSelection");
if (tnID) {
Spry.Utils.SelectionManager.select("thumbnailSelection",
document.getElementById(tnID), "selectedThumbnail");
if (gImageLoader)
gImageLoader.onload = function() {};
gImageLoader = null;
// Use an image loader to make sure we only fade in the new
image after
// it is completely loaded.
gImageLoader = new Image();
gImageLoader.onload = function()
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"] = new Spry.Effect.Opacity(img,
GetOpacity(img), 0, { duration: 400,
finish: function()
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"] = new
Spry.Effect.Size(img.parentNode, GetDimensions(img.parentNode), {
width: gImageLoader.width, height: gImageLoader.height}, {duration:
400, steps: 10,
finish: function()
img.src = gImageLoader.src;
gImageLoader = null;
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"] = new Spry.Effect.Opacity(img,
0, 1, { duration: 400, steps: 10, finish: function() {
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"] = null; }});
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"].start();
} // End finish function for Size call.
}); // End params for size call
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"].start();
} // End finish function for first Opacity call.
}); // end parameters for first opacity call
gBehaviorsArray["mainImage"].start();
}; // End gImageLoader function
gImageLoader.src = imgPath;
}

Howdy,
I decided to strip the effects from the thumbnails, so they
all do show in their original full size. As a portrait
photographer, my goal with using technology is to help me sell
prints. Shrinking a portrait orientation photo down to fit in a
square makes people look short and fat, and even if the large image
is correct, people don't buy photos that make them look short and
fat. Plus, it was also important to me to include the filename as a
caption for the thumbnail. So that is a rather long explanation of
how I got out of defining the sizes of the thumbnails.
As for the large images, the code above is a replacement for
the SetMainImage function in gallery.js. You'll also need to change
the call to the function in ShowCurrentImage() from:
SetMainImage("galleries/" +
dsGalleries.getCurrentRow()["@base"] + "images/" + curRow["@path"],
curRow["@width"], curRow["@height"], "tn" + curRow["ds_RowID"]);
to:
SetMainImage("galleries/" +
dsGalleries.getCurrentRow()["@base"] + "images/" + curRow["@path"],
"tn" + curRow["ds_RowID"]);
Kin--You bring up some really good points. In my case, it
would be too server intensive to calculate all the image sizes on
the first load, as my server does not actually create the web
images until they are requested--then they are stored in a cache on
the server for future requests. So, I needed to do something that
would not depend on knowing the size before loading the image.
I totally understand why you did things the way you did. I
think I might have to figure out a pre-loading strategy as you
mention. Or, I may try some of the new spry effects to do something
a bit different so the user sees some action immediately on click.
That is probably pretty important, and I have not addressed it yet.
Anyways, here is the link for my development site. I'll post
here when it is done, because i'm not close to being done yet. The
password for now is 'blue'

Keeping images full size when uploading from "Photos" after editing

Is there any way that I can edit photos in the ”Photos” app and keep what I have edited and also keep them full size when I upload them Flickr?

Highlight the images you wish to export.
Ctrl-Shift-E to open the export dialog.
Change the top drop-down list to Hard Drive.
Choose a location for the files in the Export Location section.
Adjust file naming if necessary.
In the File Settings section make sure you have the correct output format selected and choose a quality (85 is fine for most things and keeps file size manageable).
Make file size changes as appropriate in the Image Sizing section.
If you are downsizing a lot then consider adding some output sharpening.
Click Export.
Hopefully that covers most things.

Web gallery full size images blurry on .mac

My photos look great in iPhoto. But when I have iPhoto create a web gallery and sync it to .mac the full size images are quite blurry. The thumbs are fine, but the full size images look over compressed. I can't find a place to fool with image quality for these images. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
-Buddy

Buddy:
I found that the full sized images that I synced to a web gallery in iPhoto were jpg compressed to a quality level of 9 out of 12 (as determined thru Photoshop). I do not notice any obvious degradation of image quality. At 200% enlargement I did notice some unsharpness. My files are compressed down from around 2 MB TO 840KB.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

When I import files (copy from jpeg or copy as DNG from raw, where is the full size original stored?

I have the photos go here file, does LR5 put the untouched original there? Do I need my own file for originals and if so, how does LR5 know where to find the full size original? I have everything working but don't understand where my untouched originals go after import. Say I import off my card to My Pictures/Lightroom Catalog/ Photos go here ..... are my originals there? What if I erase my card now, do I only have partial size negatives basically? I don't understand why LR5 didnt put in an originals do here file that imports the full photo to a stock folder. I am so confused I am about ready to throw out LR5. I even bought your instructional DVD and it doesnt make where the original files location clear, it just repeats that LT5 does NOT import the original, just thumbnail and instructions, where is the program getting the photo when I double click to open it , or am I only seeing a lower resolution version of the photo and the full res is now gone because I formatted the card?

When you import photos, you can choose "Copy" or "Move" or "Copy as DNG", and then select a destination folder on your hard disk. This happens on the right hand side of the Import dialog box. So your original files go to this destination folder.
Alternatively, if your photos are already on your hard disk, you can import by choosing "Add" and the original photos remain in the existing location.
If you're not sure where the photos are, open Lightroom, go to the Library Module, and on the right hand side is the Metadata Panel. Set the dropdown to "Default", and it will show you where your photos are stored. Alternatively, you can right-click on any photo and select "Show In Finder"/"Show in Explorer" and Lightroom will take you to the exact folder where the photo is located.
So, bottom line, you are in total control of where the originals go, and if your forgot where you put them, or made a mistake, you can always find out where they are.
What if I erase my card now, do I only have partial size negatives basically?
If your import was successful, then the photos are now stored on your hard disk. So you have the full size original for Lightroom to work with.
it just repeats that LT5 does NOT import the original, just thumbnail and instructions
Lightroom does import the original, which means, in Lightroom jargon, that it records the location and metadata about the photo; in other words, Lightroom knows where the photo is, but Lightroom NEVER contains your photo, your photo is ALWAYS stored on the hard disk.
Because Lightroom now knows where your photo is located, it is important that you not manage your photos (move, edit, rename, delete) outside of Lightroom. Photo managements tasks now must be done in Lightroom. (There are advanced methods that let you manage your photos outside of Lightroom, but these would be NOT RECOMMENDED for beginners)

How to add a record in document library without upload file.

Hi,
how to add a record in document library without upload file?
Is it possible? I want to create a folders in Document Library but inside folders i do not want to upload a file instead of just i want to create a record. I will map my local file path to the records.
Can anyone help me on it?
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hello Sankaran,
document library is to upload documents, without document you will not be able to add a record or Item to it.
for your requirement you can use a list and enable folders within the list and maintain the local path of the file as an item in list.
