How to keep photo files in order upon export?

My wife has imported two sets of files from two different cameras into iPhoto. Due to date/time stamping errors in the cameras these files did not import in the order she hoped. Consequently she created an Album and renamed and reordered the .jpg files, and all looked good. However, she would now like to export these files into a folder, with each file retaining its current order/place, and burn this to a flash drive. The end product is to be a Powerpoint presentation on a PC which will be developed by a friend. The problem is that upon export of the .jpgs into a desktop folder, the order of the files in the album is not retained. I suspect that the original metadata is taking over. Is there a way that she can export these in the order she has in the album? Thank you.

Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then 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.

Why do my photo file size increases upon export?!?!

This is driving me nuts. I have Aperture 1.5.2 referencing an iPhoto library. When I look at the metadata toolset I can see each photo's file size. I have all my photos already resized to fit in an 800x800px box. When I export through Aperture using "export version jpeg original" I get an increased file size. When I export using the master version I don't. I went through and added iptc caption data that only seems to export with the version not the master. I can't believe a line of txt adds so noticeably to the file size. If I need to export my photos with the iptc caption data and want to retain my original file sizes how should I go about it?
Thanks,
Michael

chuck,
it all depends on 2 factors. a - your original file (pixel dimensions, format, compression level, color and bit depth) and the exported file (pixel dimensions, format, compression level, color and bit depth).
just as an example - if you take a quite strongly compressed jpg (lets say at 5) and export it to be a less compressed jpg (10 to 12), the file size in kb will be larger, while maintaining the same amount of pixels. what has changed is the way the information are stored within the jpg +(to say it very simplified and without going into details about compression and possible loss of data etc)+.
if you'd take a high-res 16-bit tif and export it (again at exact same pixel dimensions) as jpg, you'd get a much smaller file, still the same pixels (at least the amount of pixels, however perhaps "lower quality" pixels, depending on compression level, original image, noise, tonality etc etc).
long (technical) story short: there is no real "one answer fits all" because it heavily depends on your original image. as a rule of thumb however, print files should be in 300 dpi and images for the web in 72.
in terms of color and bit depth it now depends who you're sending the files to. if you send them to your client, use 8 bit sRGB. if you send it to a graphic designer, i'd send him 16-bit tif files in adobe rgb. all of this makes no sense if your original image was a heavily compressed 8 bit sRGB jpg of course.

How to keep both file when paste

hi to every one
I would like to know how to keep both files have the same name when I copy one of them to the other folder , since I have tow options only : replace or skip !!!!!!!!!! in windows 8

I suspect that that's how it is supposed to be, Cyber_Defend_Team. However, I can confirm that in Windows 8.1, when I attempt to Copy and Paste files, like from my camera's SD card which starts it's numbering system at 0 each time, to my photo folder,
I only have the following options:
Replace the file in the destination
Skip this file
Compare info for both files
Now, when I choose the Compare info for both files option, I get a secondary dialogue which shows me a thumbnail of both pictures and has a checkbox for each one in two columns (there is also a checkbox at the top of each column for multiple photos to select
all in a given column). I'm given only two buttons on this screen, Continue and Cancel.
As such, Lany Zhang, I don't think that this question can be considered answered as it isn't.

In Aperature, how do you keep photos in the order you changed them to while editing? When you go to burn them to a disk, the order changes from what you see on the screen.

I need to know how to save my photos to a disk for a client in the order I changed them while working on them. I photographed a party with another photographer and joined both photographers photos. Now I want to keep them in the order the event took place and how I rearranged them.

The exported photos will show on the disk like any sequence of files, sorted by date, name, filetype, etc. To help your client to sort them according to your sequence, rename the files and append a sequence number. You can rename them on export by using an export preset, for example the name format "Custom name with index". That will append a number to the filename, according to the position in the album you are exporting.

How to keep photos in order i have them on Iphoto album when I burn a CD?

How can I keep my photos in the order I have them on IPHOTO in albums when I burn them to a CD.
They do not stay in order, but scatter all over the CD. I number them starting at 1 using no 0 nor double
numbers. When I need a double number I use a letter, like 9f.
How can I keep the people's names under the photos when I burn a CD?

Files on disk have no order - the order is supplied by the viewing program (like the finder) - for example using the finder you can view the same set of files in alpha order, by size, by date created, etc, etc - so all you can do is give the files an atribute that the viewing program can use and tell the viewer what view options to use - you have no control over it
The most common way to do this is to export photos using the sequential file name option (see the user tip on exporting fro details on the available options) and then have the viewer view in alpha sort

How to keep PDF file clear once its been reduced in size

Does anyone know how to keep you PDF file resolution as clear as u originally placed it once you reduce the size of its properties?

Obviously if you reduce the resolution of the images, or compress them more sharply, you can lose quality. It is up to you to experiment with the settings to find a compromise between size and quality. There is no magic bullet.

Iphoto - how are the photo files managed and stored ?

I am one of those who migrated from the PC to this wonderfull world of the Mac. So please excuse my PC based way of thinking.
I have many thosands of photos, (aprx. 8,000 +++ )
I used to organized my photos on an external hard disk and and I would create folder that would hold a group of photos; for example (A folder labeled "Vacation on New York" will hold all the photos for that event)
Now on my iMac, I could import all the photos on that folder and create an event on iphoto called "Vacation on NY"
The only question I have is where do those file phisically go to? Where are those files with their names and extensions? What folder or directory do they go to once I import them into iphoto?
I need to know this so that I could get a back up and know how to manage the files.
Also...
I would like to know how can I close all events at once.
Thank you in advance for all the explanations......

The files are copied into the iPhoto Library which is in your Pictures Folder.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
By way of explanation:
The iPhoto Library is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. This is to protect the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
To use an editor with iPhoto: You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
To use the files in other apps, upload them etc
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

File browse : How to keep the file path in the file browse field?

Hello,
I have
1) file browse field called P2_FILE_PATH.
2) a select list with submit : P2_REGION
If i upload some file d:\abc.gif , then select some region in the P2_REGION,
P2_FILE_PATH will become empty. But in the session, i can find the blob value. but not the "d:\abc.gif "
Using the following script I could capture the value of P2_FILE_PATH in a field
P2_TEST.
onload="javascript:document.getElementById(P2_FILE_PATH').value = document.getElementById('P2_TEST').value;"
P2_TEST contains d:\abc.gif .
How to retain the file path, though some other field is selected and submitted?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Archana

Hello Archana,
You can't do what you want because of some HTML security restrictions – nothing to do with APEX. As you found out, You can capture the value of this item. You can't set it. After submitting the page, the browser is the one to clear the item.
The only workaround is to work with AJAX and not submit the page until the end of the user input phase.
Regards,
Arie.

How to keep all files in differents browsers

I use differents browsers how to keep the bookmarks organised in all of them ?
Is better url manager or Bookit ?
Thanks

What del.icio.us would do is make all bookmarks you create there available to any browser on any computer you happen to be using. It will not give you the same set of bookmarks in each of your browsers. I mentioned it because it has become a popular way of keeping bookmarks which is not dependant on any one browser and is available even when you are not on your own computer.
The bookmark/url managers would be the better way to go to actually manage the bookmarks in your various managers. With them being shareware, you can try them out to see it they fit your needs before you would have to pay for them. The two I mentioned both got high user ratings on VersionTracker. You might be able to find other url managers there as well. It has been a while since I tried any url managers myself, so I cannot give a personal recommendation on any of these programs.
