How do you keep film roll data when exporting?

I'm moving to a newer computer and wanted to transfer my large library to the new setup. I have film rolls organized with original photo dates, but when I import the library in the new iPhoto setup from a hard drive all the dates change to the day I originally imported them by scanning, not the dates of the photos themselves. How can I keep all the film roll data I worked hard on to organize the photos?

I hope that someone comes along soon to tell you a better way, but in the meantime, here is what I do when I need to reset the date.
Open an event and click on one of the photos.  Select the 'Photos' pull-down menu and choose 'Batch Change'.  This allows you to change the date for all of the photos in the event. 
I decided it was too much work to do batch change dates when I moved my photos to iPhoto four years ago so I keep most of pre-DSLR photos in a Picture file outside of iPhoto.  Inconvenient at times, but I don't need to access older photos all that often.  When I do, I just pull a folder of photos into iPhoto and batch change the date then.
I am sure there must be an easier way; I just stumbled onto this accidentally.

  • With multiple iPhones and iPad, how do you keep from downloading data from one device to another? ie, my calander ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    With multiple iPhones and an iPad, how do I keep from downloading info from one device to another? All of my info, example my calendar, ended up on my daughter's iPad.

    Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes when syncing multiple devices with the same iTunes library under the same computer login account.
    If sync calendars with the same calendar is selected under the Info tab for your daughter's iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the same calendar will be synced with her iPad.

    You can't of the PDF or the file was oriented that way. You can lock the screen orientation and turn the iPad the other way - landscape or portrait - but you can't change the orientation of the file in the mail app.

  • How can I keep 16:9-format when exporting to the camera

    Yesterday happened something, what never happened before:
    A movie recorded in 16:9, edited on IM HD6 in 16:9 can only be exported back to my Sony HD-Camery in 4:3. Camera is preset for 16:9. That means, the globe in my movie is becoming an oval! When I imported this "Oval"-Tape back to an new iMovie-Folder, it is again 16:9.
    Can everybody unravel that mystery?
    Thank you for help.
    iMac, iLife   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Intel-iMac, Sony HD-Camcorder

    Besides starting with a 16:9 iMovie Project you must choose the "Expert Settings" when exporting to QuickTime.
    Choose DV Stream. Double check those settings by clicking the "Options" button. This is where you'll find the aspect ratio for your DV file.

  • How do you change the max data when creating a DVD?

    I recently filmed a show and am making DVD copies. The show runs 1hour 45mins and is about 79gb in HD. I'm using compressor 4.1 to create the DVDs so it fits on one disc. I've made a few test copies but so far every DVD freezes at around 43 mins when I play it in another computer or dvd player. I heard in a blog that reducing the max data should solve the problem. This is my first time using compressor and I wanted to know where do you go to change the max data and how will that affect the video quality? Also, what is the suggested range of data limits for a project of this size?
    Thanks

    Duplicate the Create DVD preset from the Settings pane and name it.
    Select the MPEG setting in the batch window.
    Open the Inspector and click the Video tab.
    Choose your "Encoding Mode" (CBR, etc.).
    Uncheck Automatically Select Bit Rate.
    You can then move the slider: somewhere around 4 Mb per second should be about right.
    Just to add that you might also have a problem with the physical media. Try another brand to see whether that makes a difference.

  • How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

    I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac.  Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me!  One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders.  After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link.  The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name.  I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0".  If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually.  Is there anyway around this?

    You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply.  :)
    Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

  • How do you keep iPhotos in order when burning to a DVD?

    I'm trying to back up some of my iPhoto albums on to DVDs.  Specifically, I have 200 photos that I want to burn on to a DVD and give someone.  I've tried Share-Burn but the result is a random assortment of the album's photos or, in another case, iPhotos are sorted by year.   Do you have to make a slideshow or a movie to keep the iphotos in a sequence that one wants?   I'm using iPhotot 11 on Mac OS X, version 10.6.7.

    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Select the pics in the iPhoto Window
    Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
    Burn that Folder to Disk using the Finder.
    Disk burned with the Share->Burn command are designd to be accessed via iPhoto, not the FInder.

  • How do I keep the original size when exporting?

    I have people sending me photos to edit. I work a little in photoshop cs4 and then back in lightroom 3, but when I go to send them the photos back ,they are HUGE! How can I send them the same size file they sent me? (the ones I am currently working on are tiff. files.)

    If you are editing tif files, then you have only a couple of choices.
    Flatten the image before you save it.  This will reduce it down to one layer. That's the smallest you can get.
    When you first open the image, look to see if it's 8 bit or 16 bit tif.  It won't help you, but if the image is 8 bit, and you save it as 16 bit, you will have dramatically increased the size of the file for nothing.  If it's started as 16, no worries!
    check if you are saving with compression.   Tif compression is lossless, so unless you did something like resize+resample, it remains the same bit density, etc, so should be just as printable as what they sent you (unless you messed up!).
    Cheers!

  • How do you remove the number sequence when exporting layer comps to files? CS6. Windows 8.

    Hi
    I remember in CS5 there was a script you could change, but I can't remember what it was called or where it was saved.  Can anyone help please?
    I would like to stop Photoshop automatically adding a number prefix to exported layer comps.
    Thanks

    So I've found a bit in the script that I think might be it (below).  Can I remove that whole bit?  Or would changing the 4 to a 0 do the trick (I tried and it didn't do anything)... Sorry, but I'm not a coder so don't really know if I'm barking up the wrong tree or not.
    Thanks
    for ( compsIndex = 0; compsIndex < compsCount; compsIndex++ ) {
                    var compRef = docRef.layerComps[ compsIndex ];
                    if (exportInfo.selectionOnly && !compRef.selected) continue; // selected only
                    compRef.apply();
                    var duppedDocument = app.activeDocument.duplicate();
                    var fileNameBody = exportInfo.fileNamePrefix;
                    fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(compsIndex, 4);
                    fileNameBody += "_" + compRef.name;
                    if (null != compRef.comment)    fileNameBody += "_" + compRef.comment;
                    fileNameBody = fileNameBody.replace(/[:\/\\*\?\"\<\>\|\\\r\\\n]/g, "_");  // '/\:*?"<>|\r\n' -> '_'
                    if (fileNameBody.length > 120) fileNameBody = fileNameBody.substring(0,120);
                    saveFile(duppedDocument, fileNameBody, exportInfo);
                    duppedDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

  • How do you keep yourself well organized at work?

    For documentation I use onenote which is synced to my owncloud server so i can use it when ever needed. I also use a mix of wundlerlist and spiceworks to keep track of all my to do items and issues and requests. My number one recommendation is find the best way that works for you documenting and make sure to stick to it. Writing or typing it down will make sure that you retain what you did that day! 

    I am about to begin my first IT career in about a week (as a help desk position.)
    I'm very excited about my new career shift but am bit worried at the same time.
    That being said, I have a question that I want to ask all of you guys out there who has been working in the field for a quiet some time.
    How do you keep yourself well organized when it comes to documenting results?
    I was taught to document EVERYTHING after you solve your assigned tickets.
    Are there any great tools that could come in handy when you document things?
    Plus, what would be a proper way of documenting?
    Would you document every single steps you've tried to solve your ticket?
    Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

  • How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

    When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

    If you are burning an audio CD, they will burn in sequential order as in your playlist.
    If you are burning an MP3 CD or a data CD, they will burn as individual files, and can be sorted any way you like when you view the CD.  For an MP3 CD, the files will be prepended with a sequence number, so if you sort by filename, they will be in the original order.

  • Lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lr5 when photo is transferred to photo shop

    lightroom 5 make adjustments want to transfer to photo shop to make additional adjustments. how do you keep the adjustments made in lightroom 5 when photo is transferred to photo shop
    I am not able to keep the changes made in light room when I transfer to photo shop

    Something you need to understand. Unless you are using the latest version of Photoshop Elements, it's possible that some of the adjustments that you make in Lightroom won't transfer to Elements if you choose the option to open anyway. If you choose the option to edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments then Lightroom will create a TIF or PSD file (depending on your preferences), and that file will include all of the adjustments that you have made using Lightroom. Then you can finish your work in Photoshop Elements.
    The process of transferring an image from Lightroom to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements involves the Camera Raw plug-in. It has to be used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments and apply those adjustments to the image after it has been converted. Files open in Elements or Photoshop or no longer raw images because those programs are incapable of editing raw image data. I don't know if this will help you in this situation. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

  • How do you keep your VPN clients up to date?

    Hi, how do you keep your Cisco VPN clients up to date? Our users connect to a Cisco 3015 Concentrator. It needs to be as automatic as possible.
    Thanks

    Check this link,
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/cisco_vpn_client/vpn_cli
    ent46/administration/guide/vcAch3.html
    Example:
    Steps to perform an automatic update for VPN client :
    ===================================================
    1. Download update-4.8.00.0440-major-K9 file on your PC from the link below and unzip it.
    http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/vpnclient-3des
    It will have the following files::
    - binary_config.ini
    - sig.dat
    - vpnclient-win-is-8.00.0440-k9.exe
    - vpnclient-win-msi-8.00.0440-k9.exe
    2. Create a webserver with a folder and move all the above files to this folder on webserver.
    3. Now on your vpn client create a new profile. This profile file will appear in the profiles folder of the vpn client. Copy this file to your desktop and zip it. Name the
    zipped file as profiles.zip. Delete the profile from the client.
    4. Make a copy of your binary_config.ini on your desktop. Rename it to new_update_config.ini. This is just to make sure its not saved as a txt file.
    Open the above file and write the following on it:
    [Autoupdate]
    Required=1
    5. Now move the new_update_config.ini and profiles.zip to the webserver. Once we browse to the webserver it should look like --
    http://webserver/~razshah/vpn_profile_update462/
    Index of /~razshah/vpn_profile_update462
    Name Last modified Size Description
    Parent Directory 09-Mar-2005 13:24 -
    binary_config.ini 09-Mar-2005 13:26 1k
    new_update_config.ini 11-Mar-2005 11:35 1k
    profiles.zip 09-Mar-2005 13:26 1k
    sig.dat 09-Mar-2005 13:26 2k
    vpnclient-win-is-4.6..> 09-Mar-2005 13:26 7.6M
    vpnclient-win-msi-4...> 09-Mar-2005 13:26 10.3M
    6. The concentrator is configured as follows:
    Client Type is Windows
    URL http://webserver/~razshah/vpn_profile_update462
    Revisions 4.6
    7. On your PC go to the VPN Client > updates folder. Delete the update_config file if its already there. This folder should have only autoinstall (this file will be added if update works) autoupdate header files.
    The update does take about 5 mins. To see the new file we have to close and reopen the client. Once connected make sure you are able to browse to the webserver and see all the files.
    1- Auto update runs only on Windows 2000 and Windows XP, all other client types update manually. Windows NT users get notified and can get an update manually from the update server.
    2- Remote users must have the VPN Client for Windows 4.6 or greater installed on their PCs to use the automatic update feature.
    Regards,
    ~JG
