How to ocr search photo library help

Hey there
Anybody know how to index/ search my photo library via ocr so that I could search my photos for text, similar to evernote's feature but for large photo library (>15GB) mainly its just for screen shots ( so it should be easier for the text to be recognised) , I want to be able to search the photo library for specific photos.
Even better if spotlight could search the photo library, or just any other program.
Thanks
All ideas WELCOME

Hi imylove,
The photos that show up in your photo library (with the exception of the Camera Roll and the Photo Stream) are sync'd to your phone from your iPhoto library when you sync to iTunes.
If you don't want those photos on your phone, hook it up to your PC, make sure that the phone is not set up to automatically sync in iTunes, and then go to the Photo tab for your phone in iTunes, and uncheck Sync Photos. Then do your sync, and all of the photos will be deleted from your phone.
Hope this helps,
GB

  • How can I search photos in my library by definition (300dpi or 72dpi) ?

    Hi, I have several questions before buy Lightroom licence but I haven't find how to do with trial version.
    1° How can I search photos in my library by definition (300 dpi or 72 dpi) ?
    2° Is it possible to search photos by same chromatic scale (all photos with most green for example, to match with a green page setting)
    3° Is it possible to find doubloons (exactly same photo but not same title or format) ?
    (I'm french, so please try to make simple answer)
    Thank you for your answer.
    Aline

    1) This question is based on a misunderstanding of resolution. A digital photo does not have resolution, i.e. it is neither 300 ppi nor 72 ppi not anything else ppi. A digital image has only a pixel dimension - so many pixels horizontal, so many vertical. That's all. Resolution comes only into play when we print an image. For a quality print we need a certain minimum amount of dots per inch. But as long as the image is digital (in the camera or on the computer) it has only pixel dimension - for instance 2000 x 3000 pixels. Therefore you cannot search by 300 ppi or 72 ppi.
    2) What do you mean by "chromatic scale"?  And what do you mean by "photos with most green"?
    Do you mean search for a photo that is taken - let's say - in a forest vs. a photo taken in the desert? No, you can't search for that in Lr since Lr does not recognize image content.
    But if you mean by "mostly green" a color label - yes you can search for photos that have a green color label (or a red one, or yellow, etc.)
    3) No. As already mentioned, Lr does not recognize image content. An exact duplicate of an image that has a different file name is a different image for Lr.

  • How to save my photo library in a web service.

    Hello:
    In first place sorry for my poor english...
    I would like to know how to secure my photo library in a web service. I have 100gb free with my internet provider and i would like to use it. The problem is that i don´t know wich is the folder that i have to duplicate in the web and where to find it.
    I´ve been looking in the apple help services but i only find help for mobile me or time machine.
    Thanks in advance...

    If you want to back up your Library to the Web then you need to back up the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder.
    However, many people complain that it can take days for the upload - and in the event of a problem - download to restore.
    Regards

    Locate iPhoto Library (the default location is <~/Documents/Pictures/iPhoto Library>), select it, and choose File > Get Info.

    1-in name of the folder 2-in name of photo library.how i can delete photo library from my iphone but i still have my photo folder?

    You can't delete the Photo Library. The iPhone stores photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos are synced to your Photo Library. The various albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos which are in your Photo Library, they are not duplicates.

  • How upload to iCloud photo library beta from mac

    How do I upload photos from imac (iPhoto) to iCloud photo library beta.

    I have bought 500 gb of data a month. However what is the point as I only have access to the photos I take on my phone. I have no option in the beta.icloud/photo app to upload my photos from my mac.. what am I missing?
    The option to upload should be there on the iCloud web page, but I don't see it.  That is what iCloud Help says:
    Add new photos or videos
    Log in to iCloud.com, then click Photos.
    Click Upload and select the photos or videos you want to add.
    Click Choose to upload them to your library.
    So, I am sure, the option to upload will be there soon. It must be an oversight. Send feedback to Apple: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
    The still elusive "Photos.app" on your Mac is supposed to bring the ability to upload to iCloud Photo Library on the Macs. The release has been announced for "Early next year". For the time being, upload the photos you want in iCloud Photo Library to your devices (Photo Stream, Mail) and add them from there to the iCloud Photo Library.

  • How to share the Photos library on iCloud Drive with other family members?

    I have uploaded our family photo-library to iCloud drive (136GB+). It works great!
    But how can my wife (with her own iCloud-account, but within the family) see and use our library?

    Tnx for the reply, though I already feared this was the answer.
    Family sharing works well for keeping contact lists separated and we do not need to see all the crap the other half shoots with their iPhone.
    But as family-members, we DO want to use our communal photo-library.
    It would be great if you could share your entire library with family-members or at least select which albums to share with who.
    Also it is silly that you can share a photo only to one other iCloud-album. If I shoot a nice pic of the kids I would want to share it with my wife AND with others.
    The same would work for contacts. The family-head should be able to assign which contacts are shared and which are separate.
    I hope Apple will update the family-possibilities so that this is fixed.

  • How do i put 'photo library' and photo folders onto my pc?

    A while ago I had over 6000 photos in camera, mostly screen shots. So i imported them and sorted them out into photos taken by the camera and screen shots, put them into different folders then put them onto my phone. So i have Camera Roll & Photo Stream, Photo Library (all my foldered photos combined) Folder 1 and Folder 2. Folder 1,2 and photo library cannot be deleted.
    I want to delete some pictures and videos from the folders but i can't. My computer got wiped and all those photos are gone. How do i put those pictures back onto my computer? Importing only works for camera roll and when i go into tab photos and press sync, i think it deletes them because the GB decreases dramatically. How do i put them onto my computer and delete the ones i want?

    Apple does. heh software is called Time Machine. But you have to turn it on. To give reasonable protection, you need a separate disk to store the Time Machine data, otherwise, a disk failure takes out the back up data as well.
    Personally, I am a bit paranoid about back up and use a three tier strategy. I use a Mac Pro with four internal drives. One is dedicated to be a Time Machine target. That backs up changed files automatically, but it is still in the same machine. I also have a Drobo FS for network storage. I back up user data to that weekly. And then I use USB drives for monthly off-site storage.

  • How can I "search" for Library Items?

    I am developing a site in flash and have over 800 Library Items. My problem is, I need to edit a portion of a Library Item and cannot find the Library Item, and NO, I did not delete the Library Item because when I go to preview or test the flash document, the Library Item is there in the movie. Is there any way to search for the Library Item? I am using Flash Professional 8..
    Thank you.

    I'm not sure how you would search for it if you don't know how to identify it.  You should be able to doubleclick on the object on the stage to open it up for editing.  When you do that, the stage area will display the library name of the object at the top of the stage border in a tab.  Things are ordered alphabetically in the library, so if you know the library name of the object you should be able to narrow down where it is.

  • Simple Question: How to display a photo library in iWeb as a single icon...

    Ok, this should be a simple one. I would like to have one single page in iWeb, that is a "photo gallery" page. Not a page that has multiple photos below, with the option for a slideshow. I would like to have an icon that represents a photo library, such as "my trip." Then, when a user clicks on that icon, they go to a page where they can view the thumbnails/images, or the slide show. Can anyone help me here, with as much info, because I'm a stupid IT guy....

    This might help

    thanks. i appreciate you both trying to help but that is wat gor rid of half my songs. thats what is on every post is telling of this subject. thaks soo much guys.
    Removing the tick from the box named Sync Photos would not remove any of your music. You must have done something else if half your music was removed from the iPod.
    Serena.Izza.Bina wrote:
    can yo delete other libraries unable to delete?
    I assume you mean "can you delete films/movies or Podcasts etc. from your iTunes Library". Yes, you can delete anything from your iTunes Library by using the conventional delete method or you can delete (or remove) any of the songs, films, Podcasts etc. from the iPod. Usually this is done by un-ticking the song, film etc in iTunes and then Syncing the iPod to iTunes. That will remove the song form the iPod but leave it in iTunes unless you specifically delete it form iTunes .

  • How do I delete photo library on my phone

    My memory is getting sucked up because of my photo library. And finally discovered where pictures went that I just took but not going into my camera roll. I saw a suggestion via Google and deleted my photo library AND everything else but the camera roll. I did back up everything before I did, too. But then I was blocked from adding any of my picture files until I allowed the photo library back onto my phone. And then it's back to sucking up my memory. I just got my 32GB iPhone 5 and cannot afford to get the 64GB one. But that would be wasted if all my pictures go into this sunflower box! And you cannot delete any picture, never mind the file. Please help! I don't have a lot of apps, but I've had to delete them to take a picture or shoot a short video. It's that bad!

    I went to second link. On my laptop, from sync photos from, my only choice is pictures. I do not have either of the folders the second link mentions. On my list on my laptop (Windows Vista), I was hoping Photo Stream was the same as the Photo Library as it has the same sunflower button. All this did was ADD photo stream onto my phone. But I was able to delete it. So I say again, I really want this tab/app off my phone and I cannot seem to be able to get it off of it.

  • How do I Delete Photo Library and Albums on iphone 5

    Someone please help me!!! I've been all over trying to get help.  My photos are safely on my PC.  I was able to delete all the photos on the Camera Roll only.  I need to delete all albums including PHOTO LIBRARY which has over 3000 photos.  I don't want any photos on my phone.
    Does Apple prevent this so you will have to buy more storage?  You should be able to delete an album.

    Connect the phone to your computer, click on the iPhone name in iTunes, click on the Photos tab. Check Seleted folders. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone, then click Sync.
