How best to back up Rejected images

Hi,
I am about to back up using a Vault but I have a lot of rejected images that are taking up disk space. What are others doing with their rejected images, do you delete them after vaulting?
Thanks--Ed

It may depend on what kind of rating you use. Some may reject images that are not good but may come to use some time in the future, while others rate images in a different way. As i can only speak for myself, I use a system where rejected images are those that are totally useless and therefore I see no reason to keep them just to occupy valuable hd space.
I have set up a smart album that shows only rejected images and I empty this album on a weekly basis, keeping the library nice and clean.
I also only have referenced images so I do not use the Vault for backing them up.

How best to back up two Macs to one TM external drive

Dudes,
I have a white MacBook 1.83 running Leopard and a new Air (rev a) also running Leopard.
I have a wireless network through my Airport Express.
I currently backup the MacBook using TM via FW to an external drive.
How best to back the Air up to this drive too?
Shall I just USB it in, or........................
Can I mount the external drive on my MacBook desktop, then - via filesharing - point the Air's TM towards this? This would save another lead down the back of the desk and lots of tedious plugging in.
But can it be done?
Thanks

You can certainly backup your MacBook Air (MBA) to your FW HDD attached to your MacBook if it has Leopard (i.e. Time Machine). Just enable file sharing to that drive for the MBA.
Thanks very much - I'll give it a try.
Even if your external HDD has USB, if you plan on doing wireless backups, the backup format of a Time Machine backup for a locally connected drive (connect via USB) is incompatible with that of a TM backup over a network (the MBA wireless backing up to the external HDD connected to the MacBook). You cannot switch over later.
Thanks - I didn't know that! So if I start of doing wireless backups, I either have to keep going with it, or start over if I chose to switch to USB?
It's too bad you don't have the AirPort Extreme Base Station. A USB HDD could then have been connected to the Extreme and shared by all network users and also be connected via ethernet. Now, the MacBook has to be on for the MBA to backup.
Yes, am thinking that the Airport Extreme or Time Capsule might be the way forward...
One last thing - Peter Miller mentioned that backing up wirelessly, in his opinion, wasn't as stable as a wired USB backup - what's your (or other people's) opinion on this?
Thanks

I store all my files on my Gdrive, eventually my Gdrive will fail. How best to back up the Gdrive? Should I replace it every few years?

What is the best way to ensure I don't loose my images from my gdrive, because eventually it will fail. thank you

You are quite right, your drive will die, it is just a matter of when.
Back it up every time you finish a session in Aperture, either using the vault feature, time machine or another third party app.

How to Delete Back groundof an image??

hi..
I have an image with black letters written over yellow back ground.Plz tell me how to Extract the black letters and remove the yellow back ground using J2me.
Regards
Gopal

Hi
conver the image to a mutable image object ( I hope u are using MIDP 2.0). Get the pixels from the image object. Extract the RGB values from the int array that u get after getRGB() . Check the R, G, B values of the pixels .. if they pixel is black then the R, G and B values must be closer to 0. Set a limit , dont touch the values close to 0 but for values that are higher than the black limit set R , G, and B component to 255. Then create an Image Object using this new int array.
Now the image will have a white back ground and Black letters remain intact.
U can set the Alfa value , i.e. the first 8 bits in the integer array of pixel values to 0 .. this would make the image transparent.
Dont know if this helps you .. but in case u want to do something like this ... have a look at
Image.createImage()
Image.getRGB()
methods in the API ( MIDP 2.0 offcourse)

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

How do I save an edited image back to my iPhoto gallery?

How do I save an edited image from Elements back into my iPhoto gallery?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photo from iphoto, work on it in PSE and save it without changing the name or format (you don't want to see the Save As window) and iphoto will remember your original + last saved version, although you'll have to lose the edits to see the original again. This doesn't work for raw files and you will probably need to set the Editor preferences>saving files>on first save to save over existing to get it to work for other formats.
2. Export the photo to the desktop, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes you want, save the file in any format with any name you like, then import the edited photo to iphoto as a new file.

How to get back default Lock Screen Image of Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded windows 8 to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image . I tried for default lock screen of windows 8.1.I can't find any default lock screen
images of windows 8.1 (Only custom images are available). How to get default lock screen images? Does any any one know? please help me..

The last "solution" works only for pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and clicking
Lock. If you sign out of Windows and sign back in, that ghastly Windows 8.1 lock screen picture will come back.
You can delete the img100.png file from your WinSxS folder: right lick on this file, click Properties, click the Security tab, click Edit, click Add, type your Windows user name in the white rectangle under "Enter the object
name to select", click Check Names, click OK, then click Advanced, click Change, take ownership of the file, give yourself Full control over this file, click Apply and then OK. You may see your name three times in the Security tab (as user, administrator,
and yourself). Make sure that each instance has full Control
If this does not work, you can disable the Lock Screen: press Windows+R, type
gpedit.msc, click OK, in the Local Group Policy Editor window that opens click on Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization, right click on the "Do not display the lock screen" option, click
Edit, check Enabled, then click Apply and OK.
This, however, is a workaround rather than a real solution, which, it seems, Microsoft does not have.
I have exactly the same issue with the horrid stripey thing. Furthermore, in Settings, Lock Screen Preview is completely blank both on current and past images.
I've tried all the tips I've found around the web with no success. I get the horrid stripey thing back.
I found this freeware called Lock Screen Customizer. Seems to work so far but time will tell. (Note that the download includes both win8 and win8.1 versions.)

Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not Lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another?

How to restore backed up files (not lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another.
I recently backuped my photo files from one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy cloner) pointed to some corrupt files on the original drive.
I have deleted those files and am finding good copies of them in Time Machine backups.
I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main external and then back it up onto a brand new drive.
What I am not sure about is how to point lightroom to the backups so it knows to look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all those exclamation marks and question marks go away.
There are close to 60,000 images in numerous folders all with one 'parent folder.'
My best guess is from Lightroom Help - Create and Manage Folders - Locate Missing Folders
Can I point to the one parent folder and all the subfolders will come back?
Is this the process to recover files into lightroom and will there be a problem with so many photos?

Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion or later:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

How best to become a proficient Photoshop user (or better)??

Hello all,
I'd appreciate a steer.
I am an enthusiastic amateur digital photographer. I am also fairly proficient with computer stuff generally (my degree). In terms of digital photography, I'm off the bottom of the curve but not by much: I understand white balance, the rudiments of colour spaces, luminance, contrast, etc... but as soon as it gets complex I am out of my depth. Bottom line is I think I understand it as well, or better, than most people who come to Photoshop for the first time. So far with PS (CS4) I have managed to remove minor blemishes, fix red eye, adjust contrast and colour to make photos more interesting - but (for example) I got stuck when trying to remove an image from the background.
BASICALLY I want to know how best to learn PS to a professional level; I am smart enough to pick stuff up fast but too busy to attend a training course. So I'm looking for the best book, or the best video tutorial, or whatever that will take me from understanding the basics (tools, brushes, layers, etc) all the way through to being able to create pre-press standard images and "alternative art"!
What do you pros out there recommend, if you can remember that far back? I am thinking I can devote a few hours per week (3-6) and will keep studying as long as it takes.
Hope to hear from you,
Thanks
Alastair

As Curt says, Lynda.com does really have great tutorials, but there are a lot of good ones out there that are free. For example, Deke McClelland has posted great videos on the top 40 features of Photoshop (his choice of features of course) on his blog http://www.deke.com/dekepod. (Feature one and two haven't been posted yet.)
Regarding books, I recommend that you go to a bookstore or a site like Amazon.com, where you can preview some of the chapters of the books and read reader reviews. This is because people learn in different ways, and you need books that cater to your style of learning. I got the Classroom in a Book books for Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign at a discount when I registered my Adobe software, but I don't use them. I recently bought Martin Evening's Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Photographers, and it is much better for me. You might like something completely different. It would be great if you would report back on what works best for you. Good luck!

How do I find the aperture image files so that I can attach them to an email

How do I find the aperture image files? I know that you can email images from aperture. But how would I attach an image using Mail?

if you mean to go into the Aperture library in order to get image files to print with Canon's software it's not really possible. The best you would be able to do would be to get the master image and if you're shooting RAW that will be the RAW file. In any case no adjustments you made to the image in Aperture would be available, versions don't exist as files until you export them.
If you want to print with the Canon software you would export the image from Aperture and then print that image file.
If I've misunderstood your question post back,

I need to know how best to import .mod files into elements 7

I need to know how best to import .mod files into elements 7

lornamarieslade
Are you working with .mod standard or widescreen?
If .mod standard, less problematic. The file just might import without issue. Worst case would probably be changing the file extension from .mod to .mpg just prior to import.
Now .mod widescreen is another story that revolves around maintaining the 16:9 flag that scretches the video for display after encoding. Some have said that the 16:9 flag is lost in the transfer to computer; some say certain editors such as Premiere Elements just cannot read/recognize the flag. Whatever the case this is what you should consider in your Premiere Elements 7 Windows.
a. If you need to rename the file extension from .mod to .mpg, do so prior to import.
b. Import the .mod or .mpg counterpart into your Premiere Elements 7 project using the project preset NTSC or PAL DV Widescreen (NTSC or PAL depends on your location of interest). You will probably see that the video does not fill the space in the Edit Mode Monitor (you will probably see standard 4:3 looking image rather than widescreen 16:9 looking image).
c. Right click the file in the Project media area, select Interpret Footage, and, in the Interpret Footage Dialog/Pixel Aspect Ratio section, dot the Conform To: and change the setting to
D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
or
D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
depending on your location of interest.
A while back there used to be a program called SD Copy that did the job of file name change and adding the 16:9 flag prior to import of the .mod widescreen into Premiere Elements. But, I have lost track of the SD Copy and suspect that is it no longer available. I have dealt with this issue many times at a forum that I formerly frequent. Most have reported back that this workaround worked for them. It is worth a try. I am looking forward to your results.
If you do opt to upgrade to Premiere Elements 11 Windows (please go tryout before purchase), I am eager to learn how your .mod widescreen is handled by version 11 in your computer environment.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On...I just came across this download for SDCopy. It does not give the appearance of the original the link to which is broken. I have not downloaded and used the following since I do not have any .mod widescreen. So, no guarantees. Please let us know the outcome if you try it if Interpret Footage does not work for you.

How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer? I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting?
I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
Thanks,

This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
And, remember, at the onset I wrote
As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.
ATR
Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.
