How to eliminate bad photos
How to eliminate bad photos-I come in from shooting with 100 photos. How do I review them quickly to dump the mistakes. Slide Show & Review don't let me easily mark the ones to be eliminated, and contact sheets are too small to evaluate. Other than opening a photo, evaluating it, closing it, choosing another, opening it, evaluating it, etc., is there a better way
The best I can come up with is Browse in Bridge, select a photo, Space Bar to view full size. Then if I like it, Space Bar again to go back, then select the next photo, repeat. And if I don't like it, Ctrl+Del to eliminate it, then proceed. A very slow process. Any suggestions?
You are on the right track. There are multiple solutions but here are 2 that I use the most:
1- Create a custom workspace with at least the content panel, folder panel, filter panel and preview panel. Enlarge the preview panel by placing the cursor on the border of the panel until you see a move icon to both sides.
Here is one of my workspaces I use for this purpose:
But you can create your own including custom background colors etc. For this method be sure to have selected the option to create HQ previews (default setting after install) and let it have a bit time to build all the previews properly.
In this workspace you either select the files you want to view or just select the first. Then use the arrow keys to navigate through them. If like one use the shortcut (for Mac) Cmd + . (dot) to increase the rating with one star. Cmd + , (comma) decreases your rating with one star, when no star it goes to 'reject files'.
After one round you can use the filter panel to select only the one star rating and go on with a second round if needed and even more, up to five stars. (their are other shortcuts to use, see under the menu 'label') but for me this is handy because all the keys are close to each other.
The second option I sometime use is the full screen with space bar. For this you best have also set the preferences to Generate mointor sized previews (Bridge prefs / advanced). This can use more space in your Cache file, depending on screen size (I have a 30" so bigger files but very good views).
You can use the same keys (arrow for back and forward and cmd + . for star rating. After you rated one file in full screen the star rating section keeps visible.
It is a very easy and quick way to select files. But I oonly select upwards and don't bother about rejecting files. Disk space is very cheap and I find it quicker to not bother about rejected files but focus on the good ones, using the filter panel helps focussing better and when finished selecting you can start working on your selected files or first move the non wished files to an archive location. Plenty of options

How to eliminate Duplicate photos in I-Photo as I now have Snow Leopard

80% percent of photos we take are bad photos, we delete them later when reviewing them. Now the photos are in both camerroll and photostrean. When we delete them from the camera roll they do not get deleted from photo stream, when I delete them from photo stream they do not get deleted from camera roll.
I want to keep good photos only in both photo stream and camera roll. How do I do it? Delete them twice?? What a waste of time.
When a photo is deleted from camera roll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photo stream too. Otherwise photo stream is useless.I remove bad photos from camera roll but they all stay in the photo stream ...Hi JM,
Even 20 days later, the answer is the same.....you have to delete photos from them individually - they are kept in separate places, so you have to delete them from both if you don't want them. However, photostream will, eventually, "delete" the bad photos, since it only keeps up to 1000, and then starts overlaying the oldest ones....
Sorry....

How to Eliminate Camera Flash Reflection in Photograph?
I"m using PSE 6.0. In neither of the two instruction manuals that I use do they specifically address how to eliminate a camera flash reflection in the photo. I'm sure there is a way to do it in PSE6.0, but I don't know where to look. Can someone direct me?
Thanks.Larry,
There is no information in the area of the flash reflection - it is completely blown out. The clone stamp tool will not yield a satisfactory result, as the details in the adjacent map area lack contrast, especially in this low resolution file.
I experimented a bit -
I sampled the brown color next to the flash with the eye dropper tool
Created a new, blank layer at the top of the stack
Accessed the brush tool, selected the "Dry Media Brushes" library, used brush #60 (Soft Pastel Large) set at 25% opacity, then on the blank layer painted over area of flash. That does not look too bad, but it lacks the detail of the map
Perhaps you can print this, fill in the map by hand, then scan same.
Someone else may come along with another suggestion. -
How do I get photos to preview in a second monitor on Bridge CC?
This question must have been asked here before but I wasn't able to find the answer. Sorry if this is a repeat question...
How do I get photos to preview in a second monitor on Bridge CC? It's harder to find the answer this than I expected it to be.
Thanks.
Windows 7, i7, Nvidia Quadro 4000Thanks, Curt. I wondered if that was it.
In other CC applications I can detatch the tab and drag it over. I guess it's not that bad to do the stretch, though.
Thanks again. -
How to add Material photo in SAP
Hi folks,
Does anybody know how to add material photo to material No?
As now, when our old spare parts are bad, maintanance user have to find a new one to replace, so they need to provide the material No to warehouse user or purchase dept.
But now as there are a lot of spare parts in SAP, iIt's difficult for them to appoint SAP material No from layout, so we want to add photo to material No.
Great thanks!
Li Jing
Edited by: Li Jing on Apr 2, 2010 12:14 PMWhen viewing material, from main menu select System > Services for Object.
You may get a choose object type option, if you do, choose a std way to work e.g. always use Object = Material.
You'll then get a mini free floating toolbar. Select the far left Icon and Create an attachment. Navigate to your picture and upload.
To view the picture, select the Icon second left (this is greyed out if there are no attachments).
You can attach any number of pictures or Word documents etc.

How do I delete photos in iPad not currently in ITunes?
I'm doing this for wife who has iPad, (1st gen; not new iPad 2). When she got it she wanted, "her photos," from her computer in her iPad. Happy to accomodate, I managed to load all 3,000 photos from her Nikon Picture Project software into her iPad. Now she does not want that many and I've been trying for a month to delete all of them. They are not in iTunes or I'd uncheck them there and re-synch, which, I'm told would wipe them out.
I simply don't know how to delete them.
Can anyone help? Thanks,
DennisI'm and ...
Re: How do I delete photos in iPad not currently in ITunes?
Apr 2, 2011 4:15 PM (in response to heisler55)
HERE IS THE ANSWER: Use your Mac computer and open the "Preview" application. 1. Connect your iPad (and/or iPhone).
2. Open the application named "Preview" on your Mac (Click on the Macintosh HD icon or open the Finder application and search for the application named "Preview," then click on the application to open it. Or look under Macintosh HD > Applications > Preview.)
2. In the Preview application toward the very top of your screen, click File > Import From Camera (then click on the name of your iPad or iPhone)...
3. Near the lower left corner of the Preview application, click on the icon with the four tiny squares. That will give you a better view of all of your pictures.
4. Select the pictures you want to delete.
5. Click on the red delete icon at the bottom of the screen. (Looks like a red circle with a slash through it.) That will delete the pictures.
This works for iPhone, but not iPad. No pictures show up in preview as they do with iPhone.
BTW, Command/Click, as usual, allows multiple photo selections and then click Delte button to delete many photos.
Too bad this doesn't work for iPad.

How do i restore photo albums from time machine backups without duplicates?
how do i restore photo albums without duplicates from time machine backups? thx
Worth updating? Totally a personal decision. For some it would be. For others it would not?
Upgrading, if there are no problems, does not affect your data. And since bad things do happen you always have a good backup. Especially when doing any upgrade.
Your password question has nothing to do with iPhoto. Try it in the OS forum

How do I delete photos from iPhoto on my iPad?
How do I delete photo's from iPhoto on my iPad?
Acually King Penguin I think this works in Photo not iPhoto on the ipad. All my comments refer to iPhoto on the iPad, not iPhoto on a laptop or desktop MAC. I find iPhoto on the iPad to be very unfinished application. As near as I can tell when you make an edit in iPhoto it creates a copy of your photo that it puts who knows where. If you actually want an album that you can get out of the black hole called iPhoto you have to save those photos in camera role. the steps are:
1, Switch to edit mode
2. Select the photo to be 'deleted' (actually hidden not deleted)
3 . Touch the X icon on the bottom of the screen and that will hde the photo
Easy enough but why not use the same well chosen tools used in Photos? Why make it different so that you have to experiment or refer to the non-existent "iPhoto on iPad manual"?
But now comes the real fun part. Suppose you have edited a number of photos and hidden a bunch more and you want an album of the editied and un-hidden photos to use as you see fit. In my case I am totally unintersted in creating a Flicker account. I don't want to tweet them or facebook them. I want to get them out of the iPhoto black hole. Here are the steps I found. I would be thrilled if someone has found a better way. What I found is multistep very slow process for each photo to be added to "Camera Roll". Camera Roll is the way to get Photos accessable in Photo and thereby available outside the black hole.
1.Go to Edit mode (upper right corener)
2. Select All Photos (upper left corner)
3. Choose a photo out of the photo matrix.
4. touch the Share icon. that's the one that looks like the select icon in Photos (bad choice Apple. i kept thinking I mucst be doing something wrong since it sort of looked like select bu wasn't).
5. Touch Camera Roll
6. Touch Selected
7. Wait. This is a slow process
8. Touch done
Repeat steps 3 through 8 for each idividual photo.
I gave up after 13 out of 60 photos. Way, way too slow. it would have take over an hour to do this six step process for the 60 photos. Instead load the photos from the flash card in my PC. Use Photoshop or Picasa and forget using m iPad for on the fly editing and showing photos which is what I had hoped to do. -

Are your photos in iPhoto or are they stored in folder on your iMac?
Firstly, the two Macs need to be connected, either via ethernet or wirelessly, on the same network.
The same can be achieved by copying the photos from your iMac to an external hard drive and then to your MBP.
You can copy the entire iPhoto library over to your MacBook Pro and replace the existing iPhoto library in the Pictures folder. (Do you have photos in the iPhoto Library on your MBP?)
It is also possible to have more than one iPhoto Library, by giving the library on the iMac a new name, and then copying it over.
