How to merge moments in photos for OS X

I Was wondering if anybody knew if it is possible to merge moments together on the new Photos app?  It was possible in iPhoto and was a useful feature where the system decides to separate photos from the same event.
thanks very much.

This makes for a terrible user experience, and it's a surprising design mistake by Apple.
iPhoto had this right: you had the convenience of having your photos auto-categorized into Events, which were correct 90% of the time, but you could still split and combine Events when iPhoto didn't guess correctly. Albums were useful when you needed a way to organize random photos from various Events into their own container (for printing or sharing or whatever).
In Photos, this is all gone. If Photos doesn't split your photos into Moments to your liking, your stuck. For example, say I go on a field trip to the zoo with my kid, then our family goes out to dinner later, and I take pictures for both events. I expect this to become two "Moments": The Field Trip, and The Dinner. Instead, I got this: one Moment that included one picture from the bus ride down and another picture at the zoo entrance; then another moment that included the rest of the pictures from the zoo (which were taken immediately afterward), plus pictures from the dinner, which were taken much later (and in a different city).
The fact that Photos split this up illogically is annoying, but beside the point. I don't expect Photos to do all this exactly to my liking (although I do expect it to try, as iPhoto would). But I absolutely MUST be able to adjust (split, merge, rename) them.
Until this is resolved, I'm going back to iPhoto (which also performs much better on older hardware, I might add). Hopefully this will be corrected soon.

  • Spry Slide Show-how to use one size photo for large photo and thumbnail?

    Hi all,
    I'm am using Adobe's Spry Slide Show. I can only use one size photo 640x480px for both the large photo and the thumbnail.
    I changed the size of the small thumnail on the html:
                     <li><a href="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="490" height="367"><img src="Photos/TestPhoto640x480.jpg" width="63" height="47" alt="photos-1.jpg" /></a></li>
    The thumbnail looks fine until you hit Live View or Preview in Browser then photo comes in full size and you can only see the upper left hand corner.
    I assume that the java is doing this. But I have no training in Java.
    How can I change the Java Code so the thumbnail comes in at 63x47px?
    Many thanks.

    Wish I could use scaled down versions of the thumbnails-but I can't.
    Why not?
        img.src = info.src;
        img.style.width =  "490px";<!--Large Photo size on internet-changed from info.width + "px"; to "490px";  *********-->
        img.style.height =  "368px";<!--Large Photo size on internet-changed from info.height + "px"; to "368px";  *******-->
    You're shooting yourself in the foot with this.  It's overriding your HTML and CSS  values.
    As an FYI, Adobe Abandoned the Spry framework late last year.

  • How do I submit my photo for my podcast page?

    I already submitted my podcast and it was accepted by iTunes.
    At the time, I didn't have a photo to put up so I skipped that part (thinking I could do it later). Now I can't figure out how to get an image up, and it's all ready (600x600 px).
    I also didn't know about the RSS tags, and we're working on that today (summary, etc). I'd like to get it all done asap.
    Can someone please help? Thanks!!

    Firstly you need to upload the photo to your server. Then you need to add this tag in the top section of the feed, between the 'channel' tag and the first 'item' tag:
    <itunes:image href="URL OF AN IMAGE FOR THE PODCAST" />
    The URL must be a full one, including the http:// and the server name.
    Upload the feed and wait patiently - it will take some days to appear in the Store page.
    This image will not appear when people subscribe - that's a different matter and is explained here:

  • How to add cations to photos for slideshow

    How do I add captions to photos (to identify people or places) for a slideshow presentation? I'll be showing old photos and my audience won't know who is in the picture. 

    If you're running iPhoto 11 you can set the slideshow to display the title or title and descriptions or just descriptions in the Settings pane:
    This only works in the Classic and Ken Burns themes.

  • In the Pages Program template on the 4 column page a text is wrapped around a violinist photo How do I prepare the photo for a similar result

    In the Pages Program template on the 4 column page a text is wrapped around a violinist.
    How do I have to prepare the photo to have a similar result.
    Thanks

    You need to have an image with a more or less even background or at least contrasting to the main part.
    Menu > Format > Instant Alpha > run the cursor over the parts you want to eliminate
    With the image selected > Inspector > Wrap > check Image causes wrap > click on 2nd icon > Text Fit > 2nd icon
    Play with Extra Space and Alpha to get what you want.

  • How do I resize vertical photos for iMovie?

    The online support says "constrain to HD" but when I do that, it just cuts off the top and bottom of photo - how do I resize it to keep the whole photo, just "shrink" it?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Double-click on the photo in the iMovie project to open its settings, and check if Ken Burns is selected. Turn it off and make sure the size slider is set all the way to the left. iMovie should display the entire photo with black bars at the sides.
    Regards.

    Hi larry,
    It is easiest to select a photo in iPhoto and go to Share>export.
    Export it to the desktop, and at this time you can also choose the naming scheme and input a smaller size (better to upload)
    Navigate to the photo on the desktop to upload.
