How do I reconnect my masters from multiples libraries?

Spring must be coming early...I've decided to clean up my Aperture libraries!
I have multiple libraries, none of which are totally unique, and may have photos contained in other libraries (dont ask me why...)
I want to construct one library that has a total set of all the images across all my libraries
Potential issues
1 - Probably need to reconnect masters - what is the best way when I have multiple external drives? (which may have been renamed since they were first created)
2 - Some photos are contained in iPhoto
3 - Some photos were held in 'Nikon Picture Project'
What is the best method of achieving my consolidated image library>?

Consolidate all Masters into each Library first. Then merge the Libraries. The weed out dupes, organize, etc. The relocate Masters wherever you want.
The merged Library doesn't have to be on your system disk. Any FW800 or faster disk will be OK for setting it up and housekeeping. You could then -- just as an example -- relocate your Masters to the same external drive, and then move the (smaller) Library to your system drive.

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.
Best Regards

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

How can I remove people tags from MULTIPLE images in Organizer 13?

How can I remove people tags from MULTIPLE images in Organizer 13? The strategy for removing keyword tags does not work. It appears that keyword tags and People tags are considered something completely different in 13. I highlight multiple images, right click, and under keyword tags it says there are no keyword tags. There does not appear to be an option for people or other tags. Can anyone help? It is going to take literally hundreds of hours for me to do this one photo one tag at a time. ??

If you want to get rid of dotted lines, they are almost certainly caused by the outline property. However, outlines around links are there for a reason: it provides a visual "you are here" clue to people who navigate the web with the keyboard, either through preference or because of disability. You shouldn't remove the dotted outline without providing a different visual clue.

How to create a Sales order from multiple quotations?

Hi All,
Please tell me how to create one sales order from multiple quotations?
Regards,
Maddy

Hello Maddy,
To create the sales order from multiple quotation, you should put the value "F - Only at item level: Always with selection option" under Quotation determination in your sales transaction type.
It will give you a pop-up to choose your quotations item while creating the sales order.
Some per-requisites are there:
1. Copy control should be maintained between your quotation and sales order.
2. Quotation should be error free and should have the status "Released"
3. Sold to party and Organization should be same in both transaction.
For more information you can check the below link:

How to create one clean image from multiple shots?

I tried searching, but I really don't know how to search for this so I came up empty.
I have multiple pictures of the same product but had to focus on different parts to get those parts in focus. As you can imagine, this meant other parts were out of focus.
I seem to remember during one of the "CS3 is cool" seminars I attended that something along the lines of what I'm hoping to do is possible.
I would like to merge these images together to form one image with everything in focus. Exposure is the same on each of them.
Is this possible (and if so, how) or am I dreaming?
Using PS Extended.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I'll give those a shot and see if they work enough. If it looks like it'll take too long right now, I'll just try to find a better angle where I can get it "good enough" as I have many more pictures I need to take of cables and wires.
Super fun.
To answer some of the questions posed to me:
I looked at photomerge, but that looked to me like more of a way to make panaramic (sp?) pictures from multiple shots. I may tinker with that a bit though as it's something I'd like to use for other things as well.
I don't need this very often so this would not be a common practice, but if I knew how to do it, that would open some more options for me and I'd likely do it more often but still not regularly.
It's not a super closeup, though I've had need of this operation on those in the past; wound up just shooting differently and settling for second or third best.
I don't use what anyone would call a photo studio. It's a 4x8' piece of styrene tacked to the wall and a fold-up 6' table in a room with flourescent lighting (please try to restrain your laughter). The company's camera, while decent, is very old: Sony DSC-D770. This is why I bought my own Sony DSC-F828 2-3 years ago. Not the best but much better (the tiny-to-sometimes-larger purple haze around most edges is what bugs me the most). And my setup is just my camera on a tripod. I'm not fooling myself about my skills at photography; I'm very small-time, but I still need my shots to look good.
(Out of respect for actual photgraphers, I don't even call myself a photographer. I "shoot product photos" or "do product photography" which still sounds a bit too lofty, but....)
The product itself is the Velleman TLM12, a test tweezer for SMD devices. I'd like to get a "long" shot of it but that angle makes the tip and leads get out of focus in most shots and they're tiny so it's really noticable. I can get every part in sharp focus in 3-4 shots, but not in one at the angle I'm hoping to get.
I use a macro lense when I need to get big pictures of 1" connectors and the sort, but this is way too big for that and the macro has a very small area of what would be in focus so this problem would be compounded far more than I'm experiencing now.
I think layer masks might be the quickest way to achieve what I'm trying for here. Like I said, I don't need this often but if I knew how, I'd do it more frequently and might even create an action to do this faster.
Thanks again, everybody. HUGE help. :)

How to edit/publish a calendar from multiple computers?

In our small business we have up to three people doing scheduling using iCal. We would like to use our separate computers to edit/publish calendars. Right now, we can subscribe, but not publish calendars from multiple machines.
Is there a way to remotely log in to the Mac we publish the calendars on, or can we do this through the web?
Sorry if this has been covered before . . . thanks!

The only way I know to "log in" to another computer is through the Apple's sofware: Apple Remote Desktop (a bit overkill if all you want to do is edit a calendar)
It is not possible to edit another user's calendar, you can only sibscribe.
Perhaps a 3rd party will have this ability soon (Chronos is coming out with a major upgrade to their Group/Personal Organizer product.
DayLite by Market Circle is another product which may let you do what you want but it doesn't currently sync with iCal, thus you would lose all the extended functionality of iCal.
Sorry none of these meet your current needs,
Do look at CalTalk if you need to share calendars locally without publishing them to the web. (How do you share now?)
There are also some web based calendar programs (eg BaseCamp) but you have to always be connected to the web and pay a subscrition fee.

How to transfer videos onto iPad from multiple computers?

I have an iPad mini. Most of the time, I don't use it with a computer, but occasionally, I need to load videos onto it for editing. I have two comptuers I need to load videos from (work and home). Do I understand correctly that this is not possible? I can manage media from multiple computers via iTunes, but it appears that the only way to get videos into the camera roll is to actually sync with iTunes? And that's can only be done with one computer at a time? And that changing which computer I use wipes the iPad?
I've tried both Google Drive and Dropbox as well, and while the videos do show up and are playable, there doesn't appear to be any way to get the videos out of either app. The videos are in MP4 format.
Any advice?

One work around could be: say you sync with comptuer A, use dropbox to get the videos from B to A, then iTunes to get them from A to your iPad.

How to create a swatch library from multiple png files?

Illustrator CC
I am having a difficult time trying to create a new swatch libray of patterns from multiple png files. The way I am doing this is very slow and repetitive and seems silly for a tool as advanced as the latest CC suite including illustrator.
What it seems I must do is open all the png files in Illustrator, creating multiple workspaces, drag one png file into the swatch window, then save that window as a library, close the existing window to reveal the next png file, open the user library I just created, drag the next image into the currently active swatch window, then drag the previous swatch/s from the user library into the current active swatch window, resave and replace the user defined swatch library (now with two images in there)fromthe updated current active swatch panel/window, close the existing workspace to reveal the next image file, and then repeat the process again, slowly building the user defined swatch library up by adding one image at a time and then adding back into the Swatch panel the previously built up library of swatches again one at at time. (you can select all from the existing user defined library and drag over into swatch panel, but this creates at least one duplicate on each cycle for as soon as you click on the first swatch in the library, it adds itto the current swatch panel and then when you select all swatches to drag across it includes the first swatch and copies it again)
This is a very slow process to build up a swatch library. For some reason you cannot drag swatches directly into the user defined library you have created, only into the active swatch window for each workspace. I searched the web and forums for answers but could find none. There must be an easier way, just can't find it.
Ideally, the best option would be a swatch window option that allows the import directly from a list of selected files in the finder.
Any ideas out there?

Monika,
Thank you for responding, however I am not exactly clear on what you mean by "libraries are plain AI files". For example, I cannot find a file with the same name as my user defined library name that I have created. I can find the preinstalled swatches listed under Adobe Application Support... Library... Swatches, but a user defined folder is not present and the library sets that I have already created are not visible. I have tried searcing my Mac for a (name).ase file and still no luck (at least for the name I was looking for). I can open the user defined library from the Swatch library icon on the bottom left of the Swatch panel, but when I open this I cannot drag and drop add new swatches directly to this library. As stated above, I have to add each pattern, one at at time to the normal swatch panel, then add back the previous ones I have saved from the user defined library to the swatch panel and then save threm all as an updated user defined library. Thus by repeating this process, it builds up the user defined library one at a time.
I am using Illustrator CC if this makes a difference.

How can i select some row from multiple row in the same group of data

I want to select some row from multiple row in the same group of data.
ColumnA
Column B
1 OK
1 NG
2 NG
2 NG
3 OK
3 OK
I want the row of group of
ColumnA if ColumnB contain even 'NG'
row , select only one row which Column B = 'NG'
the result i want =
ColumnA Column B
1 NG
2 NG
3 OK
Thank you

That's some awful explanation, but I think this is what you were driving at:
DECLARE @forumTable TABLE (a INT, b CHAR(2))
INSERT INTO @forumTable (a, b)
VALUES
(1, 'OK'),(1, 'NG'),
(2, 'NG'),(2, 'NG'),
(3, 'OK'),(3, 'OK')
SELECT f.a, MIN(COALESCE(f2.b,f.b)) AS b
FROM @forumTable f
LEFT OUTER JOIN @forumTable f2
ON f.a = f2.a
AND f.b <> f2.b
GROUP BY f.a

Sync albums from multiple libraries??

Hi,
I use multiple iPhoto libraries to faster handle my photos with the app, iPhoto Buddy. Does anyone know how I can sync albums from different libraries with my iPod photo?? I'm out of ideas...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-SS

I figured out a way to do it. For anyone having the same issue...
Create a main folder to store photos for your iPod-- ("iPod photos") and put it where you want it (I actually put it on the hard drive part of my iPod).
Create a folder inside that one named for any albums you want to sync.
Drag photos from iPhoto (select every photo in the album) into the folder you've created for that album.
In your iTunes prefs, set your iPod to sync photos with the new folder you've created, where ever it may be and that should do it.
First sync will take a while....
Hope that's helpful.

How do I transfer old masters from a vault to a new machine

I have Aperture Masters on an old iMac, saved into a vault on an external hard disk . I bought a new iMac and want to bring the originals from my old machine onto the new machine.
Presumably, I can download them from the vault to the new machine, but I'm not sure how.
So far, I've managed to import versions onto the new machine but not masters. I'm terrified of doing the wrong thing and losing thousands of vital photos, so any help greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
Tell us what it is you're doing to get the versions.
Was the old library managed or referenced? If you used a referenced library, your masters were not backed up to the vault.
If you used a managed library, restoring from a vault is straight forward. Just launch Aperture on the new iMac then choose
File>>Vault>>Restore Library then tell Aperture where the vault is. You might want to create a new blank library before you start.

How to share or combine logging from multiple projects?

I'm working on a documentary project now with over 300 hours of footage. It was shot to AVCHD media on SD cards and were copied over to a hard drive. Three different people have been logging the media in the Log and Transfer window. We each have our own project file that we're logging into since we are all using our own iMacs to do the work. Since storage space is an issue, we can't just pull down all the footage into ProRes. Ideally we'll just take our selects directly out of log and transfer. Once it comes time to edit, is it possible to combine the logging information into one project, or does the logging metadata only exist in the project it was created in?
I've tried several ways to combine the project files (XML, Batch list exports), but none seem to transfer the logged info from Log and Transfer (all the XML and Batch lists do is import the footage that has already been transcoded to ProRes.
thanks!

the perfect solution would be if FCP treated clips logged in Log and Transfer the same as it treats them in Log and Capture... creating an offline version that can be batch captured later.
How about something close to perfect?
(You may to far along in your workflow for this, but...)
Transfer your clips to OfflineRT settings using just a card number and clip number (so, the fifth clip from first card that you shot would be named "001 005" - the naming needs to be very straightforward and easy to reproduce). This will get your clips into the project file where you can add markers and log notes as well as copy and paste between project files. And, the files will take up a modest amount of disk space (less than 2GB per hour).
Assemble your rough cuts.
When you're ready to work at ApplePro Res, use Media Manager to create an offline edit a your ProRes settings (be sure not to trim unused media - the clips must match in name and duration), retransfer your clips at Apple ProRes using the exact same naming convention (it can even be in a different project or on a different machine), reconnect to the offline project, and then finish your edit.
This is much more hands on than one might want, but it'll work.
