How can I share photos with family?  Share feature to web doesnt work, and the app would allow them to edit the pics, which I cant allow.

Before LR, I used photoshop, and saved my edited and non edited pictures to a NAS drive which had read only file sharing, so all my family could browse and view the photos.
asSince using LR 3, all my photos have been locked up in LR, with no usable way for anyone to see them.  The only thing I do is tediously save some processed pics in small size, then upload them to facebook.  Howwever, my vast library of photos is locked up in LR.
My 4 year old daughter LOVES to look through them, but there is no option to give her READ ONLY access.
I tried installing the ipad app, but this is useless for this purpose for 3 reasons:
  a) I have to sync each collection manually, no search options.
  b) a few swipes with her tiny fingers, and my collection is wiped out as it syncs her "changes" back.
  c) I have over 1TB of photos, and to sync this with Adobe would take months if not years, even if it only uploads the smart versions.
What I, and probably all family photographers need, is a read only app (and possibly website) which can browse the entire repository of an LR catalog, or at least something like a read only version of the current app which requires each collection to be uploaded to Adobe (not something I really want to do - my local network is fine, and much faster, than a rural internet connection).
How hard could it be to add a read only flag for mobile app, or a read only guest version of the app, or a basic web server to LR?
Personally I would never want to edit my photos on my android phone, it seems like a gimmick, but I would want to show them to people, including daughter/mum/friends, and let them browse on my phone.  If anyone knows a way to do this, let me know.
Its such a shame to have 40 years of amazing, categorized and tagged pictures locked up on my laptop, where no-one can view them.
I tried the below link where there are some share options I have not been able to try:
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
as it simply says "you have no synced collections" and tells me to download lightroom, when a) I have synced collections, I can see them on the android app, b) I have LR 5.6 and LR CC both installed on my machine.

I tried to figure out what you were asking about, and realized that I did not see the synced collections either. But then I realized I was logged in to the wrong Adobe account - my wife is the actual subscription holder. not me. But I stay logged in as myself to participate in these forums.
So I logged out and logged back in as her, and still didn't see the collections. I closed the page, reopened it, closed it again, and I wish I could tell you why, but the collection I have synced to Mobile showed up.
So there is a perfectly good web site, you just need to get logged in properly I guess.
I clicked on the sharing options icon and this is what I get. I redacted the URL for obvious reasons:
You can allow the viewer all, or picked, unflagged, rejected. I don't see a way to make it completely read only. Just don't teach anyone how to flag or pick a photo.

  • How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable.  I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

    Hi.

    thanks,

    You can send photos from your iPhone via email, drag the photos from the email window to the desktop then open in iPhoto.
    Open a photo on your iPhone then tap the share icon bottom left corner of your screen then tap Next then tap Mail. Send the photo to yourself.
    Open Mail then control click the photo then click Open with then click iPhoto. If iPhoto is not available from the pop up menu click Other then navigate to the Applications folder then click iPhoto.

    If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
    Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
    Here is a good Tutorial.
    If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

  • My photo ap gets hung up when I try to share photos with family sharing

    I am new to family sharing.  I can't get my photos to share.  Every time I select them and choose "share to iPhoto family share" the photo ap gets hung up and I have to close it to restore it.  What am I missing?  Also, how do I browse my husband's music collection?

    Open Disk Utility, from the Applications folder, open Utilities, and then double-click the Disk Utility icon.
    In the column on the left, click your startup disk.
    Click the First Aid tab, and then click Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility will reset any files and folders with incorrect settings.

  • How can i see photos with apple tv from my time capsule files?

    I have photos in my time capsule and i want to display them on my apple tv without a computer. Some sort of browsing in my time capsule from apple tv. Both are in the same wifi net, which uses time capsule as basis,

  • How can I sync photos from my PC to my I Pad 2 and keep them in the folders (albums) they are in?

    On my PC, all my photos are in folders named for topic or year and they used to sync that way onto my I phone and I pad. Now when I sync to my I pad, they are all jumbled up into the wrong folders (albums) - really mixed up in no particular order. Can anyone help with how I can sync and keep them in the folders they're in on the PC?
    Thanks

    Thanks - that helped. But when I tried to sync all my photo folders to the I pad 2, I tunes would add some but not all of the ones that were marked to sync, end the sync, then the I pad 2 would hang with the wheel turning, saying it was still syncing photos, and it would not end and the remaining folders of photos never appeared. I finally had to sync and re-sync over and over by adding one folder of photos at a time, then another and another.

The background on the video with the blue screen turns RED and I see that video and not the selected background with the special effects.

  • How can I remove photos in my dock on my MacBook? They stay there after I print them from Aperture.

    I cannot drag them to the trash. When I right click them, there is not a Remove from Dock option. Thoughts please?

    You can't. It's not a feature of iphoto.
    Options: Export to the Finder from one and import to the other.
    Or: use iPhoto Library Managerto move all the versions and metadata from one to the other - if you have the same version of iphoto on both machines.

  • How can I print photo with text underneath?

    Hi, I'm trying to print pages of small images of my work - maybe nine to an A4 page - with the title of the work underneath each image. I can't see how to do this in iPhoto. If I export a medium image to a Word document, is this the way to do it? I don't have iLife or iWork. Thanks.

    To add to Terence's suggestion put your comments in the Description field for each photo (click on the blue "i" button at the bottom left) and then print a contact sheet with the option to include the Comments (and any other field) under each photo.
    Happy New Year

  • How can I restore photos where there is now  greyed nothing?

    I have already submitted this question, but apparently no one saw it as it does not exist.  
    I recently had to reload from Time Machine my photos.    A number of them were just greyed out squares.
    How can I restore them.   Scrolling by the photos they show up, but once scrolling is passed, they disappear again.
    How can I fix this?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
