How to combine images from several different shoots into one

Have LR 3.6 for Win xp.
I have 4 differernt photo shoots that I want to combine into one big single catalogue. I want to be able to rank and choose images from all 4 shoots at the same time so I can get the best ones identified.
Each shoot is already in its separate catalogue but I cant figure out how to get all 4 shoots to show up at once so I can rank the best shots and maybe even make a collection of my best images from the 4 shoots.
How might I do this??
Thanks Suzzie

My primary suggestion is that you watch the many videos by Julianne Kost provided in the Adobe site about organizing in the Library Module in LR 4, or read one of the many good LR books. If you want to venture on your own here's a very shorthand description of one of many ways to do what you want. Choose which Catalog you want to use. Open that Catalog and choose "Import from Another Catalog" under the File Menu in the Library Module. Select the images and import them to your chosen main catalog. Once all are in the same Catalog either Keyword all similar images you wish to compare, or make separate Collections of each one. Use the Compare function in the Library ("c" key) and eliminate the one you don't want. Unless you have one client viewing your images in LR and you don't want them to see that you have other images for other clients, I would suggest you use only a single catalog from here on out.

HT4059 Can I use Consolidate Files to move several different tracks into one Album?

Can I use Consolidate Files to move different tracks into one Album?

No, that's not what the Consolidate command is for. That command for getting all your track files into a single folder. To get all the tracks in an album to appear together, just Get Info on the tracks and make the album name all the same for each track. See:

Is it possible to merge images from 4 different folders into a single 4x4 image with ps scripting?

So I have four folders that each contain 970 images. The images in folder 1 are named exactly the same as the images in folder 2, 3, and 4. All the images are also 400px in size. What I'm trying to do is take all images of the same name from each of the 4 folders and put them into a single 800x800 images so that they are arranged in a 4x4 fashion.
Example: Each folder has an image named mastiff1.psd. All four mastiff images are different, but have the same name, and are the same size. I'd like all four mastiff images to be combined into one double-size image that has all four of the mastiff images on it and save as mastiff1-4x4.
Is that something that photoshop scripting could do? I'm a newb to this. I've used actions plenty, but never scripting.

To script well you need to know a scripting programming language either JavaScript which works on both Photoshop Platforms or AppleScript which will only Apple Mac machines, Or VSbasic which will only run on windows. You must also know how Photoshop works and know how to use Photoshop well.
There are some things that can not be scripted for Adobe DOM does not have interfaces methods for all of Photoshop's features. However there is an Adobe Plug-in with the name Scriptlistener witch is like a script recorder anything you do in Photoshop that can be recorded in actions will be recorded into two logs on you desktop when the Scriptlistener plug-in is installed one is in JavaScript syntax the other in VSbasic. Like Actions there is no logic just hard coded step, step, step... The code uses the Action Manager to do the Photoshop function. So things that can not be scripted using Adobe DOM can be scripted using Action Manager code produced by the Scriptlistener Plug-in and the hard coded steps can be modifies into javascript functions that use variables.
I feel what you want to do would be a real ambitious first Photoshop script. Adobe scripting documentation, sample script and Scriptlistener are not part of the standard install. You must download these from Adobe. Adobe Photoshop Scripting | Adobe Developer Connection.
I don't actually know javascript but I can hack at it. Have done some document layout scripts. Most require a PSD template but PasteImageRoll does not but all Image must come from the same folder. Most of my fully automated script require all image to be in the same folder. However two of my scripts are interactive. You can select each image to be layout from anywhere. Images will be automatically re-sized and positioned which you can then tweak.
I'm not the best coder still you may want to look ate the code I came up with.
Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support
Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED Made Rotate for Best Fit an option in PasteImageRoll.jsx Edit to customize your default settings.
Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.

Finding then combining content from several indesign documents in one document

Hi everyone,
I wonder if someone can help...
I'm trying to write scripts for indesign server which I want to:
a) search for,
b) pick out, then
c) put together content from one or many indesign documents into a template on the server starting at a pre-defined point in the template.
After that we produce a pdf of the document to pass on / do whatever. I've got so far with the scripting documentation but I'm stuck! This is what I've done so far:
1/ create a document template with a script
2/ add text elements to the document template (header and footnote, title,       body text i.e. intro and data, and the contact details)
3/ add text / content from another indesign file into this       document (so far only done it with a .txt file) ...
... I'm stuck on the indesign documents at the moment. I have       looked at various options, the most appropriate way I can see in       the manuals to get content from one document to another is by       duplicating. My understanding is to do this you have to target the text in the source       document, duplicate it and then add it into a text frame on the       target document. It's the targettting of the text and surrounding       elements in the source document I'm battling with.
any ideas on how I go about this effectively?
Any help and advice appreciated!

The story so far...
I've added the code kindly provided by getZinger (thanks again!) and am now stuck on the next stage, . I've commented the code where I'm having problems, and essentially have two key issues to resolve:
1/ how I get the documents to be placed one after the other, avoiding the overlay I get on the first insertion page.
   (I am using a fixed value as an insert point as the template I'm using will always have inserts starting on page 3).
2/ how I access the pdf's I want to insert from a location other than C:\Users\Whoever\Documents\
try{
for(myCounter = app.documents.length; myCounter > 0; myCounter--){
app.documents.item(myCounter-1).close (SaveOptions.no);
myDocument = app.open(File("C:/.../template.indd"));
myPDFFiles = ["pdf1.pdf","pdf2.pdf","pdf3.pdf"];
insertPdf();
function insertPdf(){
//I've gone for a static number here as the datapage in the skeleton doc is page 3.
//This seems to result in some of the pages being placed on top of each other :-(
    var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(2);
    /*var myPageNames = new Array;
    //Get the names of the pages in the document
    for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDocument.pages.length;myCounter++){
        myPageNames.push(myDocument.pages.item(myCounter).name);
    var myPDFSet = File("C:/Users/Simon/Desktop/Mexico.pdf");
    for(myIndex=0;myIndex<myPDFFiles.length;myIndex++){
    myPDFSet = File(myPDFFiles[myIndex])
    myPlacePDF(myDocument, myPage, myPDFSet);
    myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, new File("C:/.../test_insert.pdf"), false);
    myDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
}catch(e) { myDocument.close(SaveOptions.no); }
function myPlacePDF(myDocument, myPage, myPDFSet){
var myPDFPage;
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pdfCrop = PDFCrop.cropMedia;
var myCounter = 1;
var myBreak = false;
while(myBreak == false){
if(myCounter > 1){
myPage = myDocument.pages.add(LocationOptions.after, myPage);
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pageNumber = myCounter;
//the files seem to be automatically placed from C:\Users\Whoever\Documents
//I need to change this to accept a different file path somehow but I don't know how
//this is why the myPDFFiles array only has filenames at the moment
myPDFPage = myPage.place(File(myPDFSet), [0,0])[0];
if(myCounter == 1){
var myFirstPage = myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber;
else{
if(myPDFPage.pdfAttributes.pageNumber == myFirstPage){
myPage.remove();
myBreak = true;
myCounter = myCounter + 1;
once again, thanks for taking the time to read this, any help greatly appreciated :-)

How to superimpose data from two different charts into a single chart?

I have a single chart that lists numbers by month for a two year period like this:
Jan 100
Feb 200
Jan 103
Feb 199
The numbers are all in the same column rather than different columns.
I'd like to creat a chart that plots the data for each year on the same X axis, so that I can see the two january numbers, the two february numbers, etc. on top of each other. But nothing I've tried seems to work. Numbers seems to always put the second january after the first december on the x axis rather than recognizing it as a new series to be superimposed on top of the original january.
Is there some way to fix this short of putting the data into a new column?

What your describing is a table of wht I would call raw data. I would also have a summary table that would use functions like sumif and sumifs, then make my chart off that. This table would have each month in a column and the years across as headers. ( if you're familiar with excel, it would be the equivalent of making a pivot table and chart, but manually).

How to combine sql.Date with sql.Time into one?

I have a database where I keep dates and times separately, and getting date only and time only out of a java.util.Date is no problem thanks to the classes java.sql.Date and java.sql.Time. However, I need to read these values back in, put them back together, and then do date comparisons with java.util.GregorianCalendar. I tried just adding the millisecond long values together but that didn't seem to work, and I've tried setting the year, month, date, hours, minutes and seconds individually into a GregorianCalendar but I haven't figured that out yet. Certain queries work out better keeping the date and time separate in the database and it takes less bytes than a timestamp, so please don't suggest I use a timestamp!
Thanks for your help!
Stephen

You can add the milliseconds (ms), but you need to use just part of it. For this example, let X be one more than the maximum number of units in time and also the minimum number of units in date. If we were using hours instead of ms X would be 24.
t = total ms from time
d = total ms from date
T = new combined time
T = ((d / X) * X) + (T % X);Add (the date, rounded to the nearest day) and (the portion of time which is less than a day).

How to combine Jars or Include dependent Jars into One Jar

Hello,
I have build a small utility using few libraries now i want to make a bundle or jar of this utility. I don't want to let use includes the jars individuals. I want to make a single jar using all the jars so user needs to include only one jar.
So i need to include the dependent Jar files into a single jar.
I got few solutions using Google.
Like:
adding a Class-Path: myjar.jar to MANIFESTfile.
simply update the jar with jar using commnad jar uf main.jar myjar.jar_
but these are not working. when i use the Class-Path option the Tree of main jar looks like
main.jar
    <default-package>
         myjar.jar
    META-INF
         MANIFEST.MF
How can i combine the Jars into a single Jar? Please help.

It is to tell the JVM where to look for additional classesDoes it mean if i includes dependent jars to main jar and if i specify the path then JVM find that jars to specified pathThat's what 'telling the JVM where to look for additional classes' means, isn't it? I don't know what else it would mean.
and don't need to include it separately?You only have to specify the Class-path in the manifest, and run the JAR file with java -jar. In fact if you specify a classpath on the command line with java -jar it will be ignored.
All this is in the documentation.

How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
can I import the same way as I did previously??
but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
please help ...
thanks

Hi,
Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import. The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
In step 3 select the tables to import. (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed. This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model. To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model". This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

How to copy images from another MC in reversed order??

Hi everyone,
I'm new to AS3 and have been fighting and searching for a solution to this problem for a week now, and I'm VERY close!
I crated a MC holding of a series of images (about 50) and I jump around in it using plenty AS3 scripts (most of which I don't fully understand yet, but I'm working on that to! )
I had to find a way to "rewind" (= play backwards) the MC. Since there is a stop(); command in almost every frame, prevFrame does not work and if I put that in a loop, it goes WAY to fast (but worked).. So I could think of only one way...
Create a new (reverserd) MC with the same image sequence ald reverse it manually and play that one.
This all works fine (very proud of it ).
Now my question:
To get this to work for multiple image sequences, I have to load all images twice (once in MC_1 and again in MC_2 and select them and reverse them).
Not a big one, unless you want to create MANY of those SWF's...
Is it possible to load the 50 images of the first MC in reverse into the second MC dynamically? JUST the images, noting else.
extra info: the MC_2 is already in the lib(empty) and placed on the stage.
something like:
var pointer:Number=1;
for (var:i:Number=50;i>=0;i--) {
get MC_1.picure(var);
put it in MC_2.frame(pointer);
pointer = pointer + 1;
All help is welcome and please take into account that I have little experience and copy most of my scripting from people like you
T.I.A.
Melluw

I tried your advice (thanks for that)
The event I already have is the mouse leave
I //-d out the part I removed (what did work)
The code I ended up with is:
function Start() {
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, cursorHide);
function cursorHide(evt:Event):void {
var currFrame = MC_1.currentFrame;
if (CCW == true) { //it is true in this case
movStart = (50 - currFrame);
else {
movStart = currFrame;
if (movStart>25) {
MC_1.prevFrame();
// removed swapChildren(MC_1, MC_2); // This is the part I removed
// removed MC_2.gotoAndPlay(movStart);
else {
MC_1.gotoAndPlay (movStart);
And if I leave the stage on the part where movStart is indeed >25
Nothing happens,
So I guess this is not what you meant
Subject: Action Script 3 how to copy images from another MC in reversed order??
I cannot direct you in the loading of the images approach, it will be too complicated, and will probably not work anyways... when you move away from a frame that has dynamic content, you lose the content. So basically, there is nothing practical in taking that approach.
I do niot understand what the problem will be with the enterFrame/prevFrame approach. If everything you can do with the mouse is already used (which I doubt) by the first mc, then there is nothing else you can do with this file. You probably just need to rethink your control scheme. You should search Google for "AS3 slideshow tutorial", and to lighten up your design, add "XML" in that search.

What is the proper way to load images from css in Java 8?
Ref
How to load images from css file in JavaFX 8 - Stack Overflow

There is nothing special to do - you execute the statement from your program just like any other SQL statement. The only thing to be aware of are the privilege/permission issues:
When loading from a file on a client computer:
READ CLIENT FILE privilege is also required for the database user.
Read privileges are required on the directory being read from.
The allow_read_client_file database option must be enabled.
The read_client_file secure feature must be enabled.
Revoking these privileges is also the only way you can prevent a user from executing the statement.

How can i get the images from a picture ring into a cell in Excel?

Hi
I need to get the chosen image from a picture ring into a cell in a Excel worksheet. If i use an invoke node i only get to write a picture from file. How can i get the picture directly from the picture ring into Excel?
Kenneth

No, there is no simple way of doing it directly. You need some clipboard manipulation which means you need to write some codes in excel as well. Importing the image through a file is much easier.

How to move images from Picasa to Lightroom 5 on a mac?

How to import images from Picasa to Lightroom 5 on a mac?

Hi, lnmyers,
I have thousands of pictures stored in Picasa, all of which are stored in my Picasa Web Albums. They are no longer in a directory on my hard-drive, that particular hard-drive having died ages ago. Thank goodness I uploaded them to Picasa's cloud before the hard-drive died. Should that ever darken, I am in trouble. I digress. I downloaded the pictures I wanted from Picasa Web Albums to my new external hard-drive that I set up and attached to my mac. For example: I had a an album called "California 2013" stored in the Picasa cloud. I downloaded the entire album to a folder on my Seagate external drive that I call Lightroom within which I have a folder called California 2013. It took about twenty minutes to get them all (300+ photos). Then, I pointed LR to the California 2013 folder on the Seagate external drive when I wanted to catalogue the pictures into LR. I did not worry about metadata; I took whatever came with the pictures and didn't worry about it. I added copyright, keywords, and ownership info with LR.
I hope that helps.
