Grouping smart photo sets

I have set up a lot of smart photo sets in the Flick section of the Publish Services panel.
I have a lot of these sets now and they are becoming a bit unwieldly to manage. Is there a way to set up a hierarchy and group a number of sets together? For example could I group together a number of sets that I created in 2012 into a 2012 "folder". I have tried dragging and dropping but this doesn't seem to work.

AFAIK, sets for Publish Services are only possilbe on hard-drive-based Publish Collections.

How to back up a group of photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive

how to back up a group of photos[an album] in iPhoto to an external hard drive. not taking them out of iPhoto just backing up

If you're not taking them out of iPhoto, then you need to back up the iPhoto Library:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

I want to export a group of photos from iphoto.

I want to export a group of photos from iphoto. I want them to stay in the same order that I put them in. So far when I export, the photos sort according to date or name. I want them to stay in manual sort the way I set them up in the album.
I also want to import them in that order to another program. I am going to try to import them into Final Cut Pro 7. I still want them in the sorted order.
Can this be done?
jibetack

So, in other words, it can't be done. Once the photos are exported they lose the order I had them in in iphoto.
Not at all
typically the easiest way it to export from iPhoto using the sequential file name option and then view in alpha order
and
What is a better software to organize and sift through photos than iphoto?
None as far as I am concerned - that is strictly a personal decision that you have to make for yourself - Only you know what features you want - no one else does

Exporting photo from smart photo editor to lightroom catalogue?

I know how to export a photo from lightroom to a program called smart photo editor,but am not sure how to save it back to the same lightrm folder where the image originated from. in lightroom preferences i set up smart photo editor as a secondary editing program etc. Do you know what the procedures would be? Thanks!!

Lightroom will render an export copy so after you finish editing in the external editor you need to save (usually Ctr+S) in most software and then close the file (usually Ctrl+W) in Smart Photo. That will save the file back to the Lightroom liobrary.
Don’t make the mistake of using Save AS which will create a new file which Lightroom knows nothing about.

Is there a way to batch process (basic auto tone) groups of photos in Lightroom?

Is there a way to batch process (basic auto tone) groups of photos in Lightroom?

There are two ways to do this:
1) Create a develop preset and apply it during import of images.
In the Develop Module apply the settings you want to one image and then click on the <+> sign in the Presets panel (on the left side) and save your settings under a descriptive name. In the import dialog on the right side in the panel <Apply during Import> select the preset that you created. It will be applied to all imported photos.
2) In the Develop Module apply your settings to one image then select all the other images you want the same setting applied - but your first image should remain active - to and press <Sync>. A dialog will appear that lets you select the settings you want applied to all images.

Grouped smart shapes as button

I am trying to use 2 smart shapes as a button. I select the grouped smart shapes and if I select use as button, the actions sections show up and I can choose my action. However, once I am finished Captivate automatically deselectsuse as button. In other words, whenever I select those two grouped smart shapes, they are no longer in use as button mode. Any suggestions?

I wonder if I misunderstand the question? Of course a group, even if it is a group of shapes, can never be set to act as a button. Some properties can be set for a group, but not the change from a non-interactive shape to a shape button. And if Rod's answer is to the point, what was the reason for the grouping of two shape buttons?
But I wonder if the OP was not talking of wanting to have an 'image' constructed by two smart shapes to be turned into a button, that is why he tried to do it by grouping, which would be a normal intuitive action in a lot of other software applications. Please, if that is the case, could you explain better?
For those who are indeed in the situation I describe: lot of users do not know that you can 'fill' a shape with an image, or that you can turn each shape into a freeform shape and by manipulation of the vertexes (points) change its form. This is (trying to be diplomatic) not very well documented in the Help.

Group change photo description??

Maybe the editing tools improved in this App but the Photo organization certainly did not. I like to add a description to a group of photos i.e. "Yellowstone Park" It only lets you add description to one photo at a time. Without "Events" I have hundreds of Albums. Being able to search descriptions would let me combine some albums. Obviously something that will be added in the future. Just an observation... Apple is spending huge effort to trim down their OS X applications to match the IOS format. Why not upgrade the IOS apps to work like the OS X???

I like to add a description to a group of photos i.e. "Yellowstone Park" It only lets you add description to one photo at a time.
You could try several things:
You can add keywords to several selected photos at once, perhaps in some cases a keyword will suffice instead of a batch assigned description.
If your photos have GPS assigned, all your Yellowstone photos should be in a Moment or Collection of photos taken in Yellowstone National park. Then you can select the photos in he moments.
You could search for the date range, when you have been in Yellowstone with a smart rule.
Or try to batch change using an Apple Script or Automator workflow. I posted a few simple scripts as a user tip:
Photos for Mac: Batch Change the Descriptions
Batch Changes in Photos for Mac: Change the titles to a Given String
Try the scripts first on a small selection of test images, if you want to give it a try. And not without having a backup of your Photos library.

How do I consolidate all of my events into one big group of photos so I can see them all?

The title says it all. How do I consolidate all of my events into one big group of photos so I can see them all? Instead a bunch of events.

drag them together
Or click on Photo in the source pane on the left and under the view menu uncheck show event titles

Displaying A Group of Photos

Is the best (only) way to display a group of photos by creating a photo album? If so, I read that it's best to create a one w/Adobe Bridge rather than the web photo gallery feature under Commands in Dreamweaver.
Thoughts?

Displaying photos is highly subjective. You can put all your images in a CSS styled proof sheet like this:
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/CSS-Semi-liq-photo-sheet.shtml
Or you can use jQuery or Lightbox plug-ins to create really slick slideshows & Galleries with all manner of bells & whistles. What it comes down to is a) which features you need and b) how much effort you want to put into it.
57 Free Image Gallery, Slideshow and Lightbox Solutions -
http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/resources/57-free-image-gallery-slideshow-and-lightbox-solut ions/
Obviously if you're a professional photographer you may need a sophisticated gallery with e-com solutions to sell prints on-line. If this is a hobby/personal site, you may need far less. So to say "this" or "that" product is best for everyone isn't realistic.
Also have a look at http://www.JAlbum.net Download the software and take a test drive. It's free and has a LOT of great features.
Good luck,

I'm new to Photoshop Elements and just getting started. While in the organizer I have one group of photos up to learn with and now it says Edit in Progress with a padlock icon. How can I remove this so that the photos will be restored to normal?

I'm new to Photoshop Elements and just getting started. While in the organizer I have one group of photos up to learn with and now it says Edit in Progress with a padlock icon. How can I remove this so that the photos will be restored to normal?

Go back to the editor and close the photo there.

How to remove a keyword from a group of photos

I want to remove a keyword from a group of photos. They all have the same keyword attached, of course. When I right-click keyword and choose 'Remove keyword from selected photos' it removes the keyword from the most-selected photo ONLY, not from all photos that are selected. I have to remove the keyword from each photo one at a time.
I'm running LR 5.6 on a Mac.
Thanks for any assistance.

Perhaps not the most intuitive, but that's how I do it..
Free tip: to assign to all, remove the '*' (asterisk).

App or Function to display size of grouped multiple photos / videos?

Hi to all the community!
Have searched a few forums for answer to this as well as experimenting with various apps but cannot fulfill what i thought would be a simple requirement...
All i want to acheive is to see the combined file size (aka 'space taken up in MB or GB') of a group of photos / videos stored locally to my iPad. I have no acces to my home desktop or laptop with itunes on it as i am travelling the globe, so i'm looking for a solution that is done entirely on the iPad with either an app i have yet to discover or a work around using the iPads functions.
Would be great if when you created a photo album in the photo app it could display the size in mb of your collected images and videos, but alas this is not possible. My photos and vids have pretty much all been imported via the camera connection kit (so not taken usign the ipads camera).
Also i am not currently running iOS 6 so apologies if this functionality has been added in the update... I am lookign for an iOS 5 solution.
Prepared to face the fact that its simply not possible but since photoshack pro (which i tend to use in place of the slghtly cumbursome 'photos' file system) can show at least the size of individual files, seemingly not folders/albums though, that it must possible?
Yours hopefully!

Interesting Usafvmi08! I completely understand your concern and would want my pictures/ media saved as well. Let's figure this out.
First, the good thing is everything is backed up since you can access it all via your PC or iPad. Please try removing the app from your device, restart phone, then re-download and try again. Let's see if this makes your current media available.
Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

In Iphoto i dragged a group of photos into a folder on the desktop, they went in as thumbnails and i don't know how i did that. can anyone help me do that again

Don't you mean Photos or are you still using iPhoto with 10.10.3?
Normally one gets the preview version of a photo or the edited version if it's been edited when dragging from a thumbnail to the Desktop. Don't know how you would have gotten small thumbnail versions.

Lightroom 3- How do I batch process a group of photos with the same preset?

Using Lightroom 3/Mac. Attempting to apply a preset to a group of photos. I read the forum already but what I read didn't make sense to me. Sorry. Also wondering if anyone else is plagued by Lightroom's tendency to take over the monitor. Whenever I want to switch to another application, I end up having to "Hide Lightroom" to get it to move. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

If you are on Windows, you can use this autohotkey script to minimize (#n) and restore (#b) Lightroom (# means win-start key):

I made a imovie out of a group of photos and added music. When I burned to DVD on iDVD and played back the disc all of the photos were larger than the frame could accommodate and the sides were cut off. I also tried resizing from 16 9 to 4 3 and no better

I made and iMovie out of a group of photos and added music. When I burned to I DVD the pictures came out to wide to fit into the frame. I tried again by changing the size from 16 9 to 4 3 and it didn't make any difference. Would going to share to browser rather than directly to share to IDVD make a difference?

What do the photos look like if you play the movie within iMovie? Sounds like adjusting Ken Burns would help.
