How to open photos large enough to edit or view?

I am unable to view photos in any size larger than the basic thumbnail. When I double click, the photo remains small. When I go to full screen mode, the photo remains small but is centered in the middle of the full screen. It is very difficult to see the picture well enough to edit or anything. In past versions of iPhoto, a double click on the photo would open the photo.
I am using a MacBook Pro, 10.9.5, and iPhoto 9.5.1. I would love to return to the previous version of iPhoto but understand that is not possible.
How can I open my photos to work with them (or to even view them)?
Thank you!

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
If that fails copy the library over again manually by dragging it from the old Mac to the new Mac. Others have had problems with Migration Assistant and iPhoto Libraries.

How to open the Data Perspective function of Smart View in EAS?

How to open the Data Perspective function of Smart View in EAS?
I use my Smart View to connect one ASO cube, and I found the button of Data Perspective is grey. It's not available.
In Smart View Users' Guide, it says:
Note: Data perspective may not be enabled in your Smart View system. Your options for data perspective are enabled and configured by the administrator in Oracle Essbase Administration Services.
But I could not find how to configure the this option in EAS.
Does anyone know about this?

I have already turned on the varying attributes function, but the data perspective button is still grey, not available.

Photoshop CC 2014 won't open Photos I choose to "Edit in Photoshop CC 2014" in Lightroom

I just downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 and uninstalled Photoshop CC. Lightroom is updated as well. However, now when I try to "Edit in Photoshop CC 2014" from Lightroom, the app will open but it does not load the photos I chose to edit. How can I fix this?

Open Photos directly from server, edit, can't save back. Inconsistent.

Server is Dual 2.3ghz, with 6 gigs RAM, XRAID with Raid 5 for 2.5 TB. We have artists who are opening photos into Photoshop CS2, using Mac 10.4.4 clients on server that happens to be running 10.4.3 (plan to update it tonight). Edit the photos and do a "Save" or "Save As" and 75% of the time they get an error message saying "don't have right access." Now this user has write access based on the group. Permissions is Standard Behavior inherited by the group so we don't worry about Posix ownership problems when others drop in folders. The user can drag and drop and never have issue. It is only when saving. Now I know that Adobe doesn't support opening any file opened directly from a server on any of their products (ie. won't troubleshoot multiple network and or file services). This doesn't happen with any other app. 25% of time no problem. So it is Server or Photoshop?

Here is my two cents on this issue. It appears that Photoshop does some of its own permissions checking instead of just relying on the OS.
Here is the situation I see and how I make photoshop work right. I have ACLs set up on my share to allow access for the correct groups. When a file is created by a user, lets say 'joeuser' it gets created as such
-rw-r--r-- + 1 joeuser group 724482 Feb 12 16:20 file.psd
Notice that the posix group doesn't have write access. At this point if 'janeuser' tries to open and edit file.psd in Photoshop she will not be able to save, even though my ACLs give her write access.
Now if I run:
chmod g+w file.psd
Photoshop will allow janeuser to save that file as long as she is a member of 'group'.
The short version is that Photoshop seems to ignore ACLs, then tell you the file is locked.

How to open a .jpg image and edit it.

I can't seem to figure out how to open a .jpg image or any image in Flash Professional CC. I'm quite new to this so sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. When I go to File>Open I can only see .as , .fla, .jsfl , .xsfl and .xml files. I do not have an option to be able to view .jpg or .png pictures. I would appericate if somebody could take the time and answer this for me
Thanks

If you want to edit a jpeg or png image, do that with a separate program such as Fireworks or Photoshop. After you import the image into Flash you can edit the image again in these separate applications and update the image you imported into Flash via selecting the Properties option in the library menu for the image and clicking the Update button.

How to organize photos in iPhoto after editing in Photoshop Elements?

Hello. This is my first post with this group. I have iPhoto set up to automatically go to Photoshop Elements (PE) for editing. That works just fine, but I have never learned an easy way to get edited images back into the original iPhoto folder (Event).
I've been flattening the layers in PE and saving as a JPEG or TIF to my desktop. Then I drag to iPhoto. I often make multiple versions of the same image and wish there was an easier way to get these versions into iPhoto, preferably into the same Event the original photo came from.
Is this possible? I also wish I didn't have to flatten because I want to be able to edit in layers again if necessary. I have about given up and have been storing non-flattened images elsewhere on the computer.
Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This may help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

How to open photos photos in a seperate window

Hi all, I recently ran across a website where the images were able to open in a seperate page as well as the usual photo gallery and slideshow. Does anyone have any insight as to how this is done?
This is a link to that website

I see what you're referring to. It must be a special theme. There are several 3rd party theme providers that might have that feature in it's download section. Google iDVD themes and see what you find.
I've not tried all of the iDVD dark themes so don't know if one one them will provide that enlargement. Maybe the theme used was modified but that's out of my realm.

How to open/import an swf for editing

I have had a coder create a presentation for my site, he
designed it with Flash 8, and it has some minor text/spelling
mistakes that I would like to repair. I have installed Suite 8, and
have downloaded the files from my server, but can't figure out how
to "import" or open them in Flash 8 for editing? They only open as
the swf, and cannot be edited? HELP!

i have no ideas mainly because FLAs are like snowflakes - no
2 are alike - there's a myriad ways a
project could be setup in terms of timelines, movie clips,
symbols, actionscript methods - need to
study the FLA to at least try and suggest something - so post
it and supply the URL for someone who
has time to download and investigate it. thats your best bet.

How to open photos as single layers

Hello experienced people. Can someone please tell me to open a number of photos and see them as different layers in the right hand panel. I am trying to learn HDR and need to be able to see the different exposures as layers so that I can move them around and use the best bits.
Thanks for your help Terry

Open all your images and drag and drop each one from the project bin into the main editing window.

How to open photos in Elements 12

I opened a photo in My Pictures and Elements 12 opened up but the photo didn't appear to edit. When I used Elements 7 it opened up okay.

Nothing was saved "in" CS4. Bridge is just a browser; it just shows you the current state of any folder you point it at. Just figure out where the photos are and use file>get photos>from files and folders, if you really want to use organizer.
I don't understand at all about itunes music getting downloaded. Never ever heard of that.

How to open photos as a list?

Hello,
I've always been annoyed at iPhoto's inability to resize images – especially since Preview can.
So I made a droplet to resize images for me (see end) and set it as my external editor.
Unfortunately, if I try to open multiple images from iPhoto, it only opens the first one (no problems in the Finder). I think this problem is because iPhoto opens images one at a time, not in a list. If anyone can get iPhoto to open images in a list, or better still, resize images from within iPhoto, I would be very grateful.
(*I used lots of public online code in this script*)
on open sels
set bhv to (display dialog "Height in pixels:" default answer "900" buttons {"Cancel", "Open All", "Resize All"} default button "Resize All")
set rbhv to the button returned of bhv
if rbhv = "open all" then tell application "Preview"
open sels
activate
end tell
if rbhv = "Resize All" then
repeat with sel in sels
try
tell application "Image Events"
launch
set ln to 1
set img to open sel as alias
set ln to ln + 1
copy dimensions of img to {oldx, oldy}
set ln to ln + 1
set newy to text returned of bhv
set newy to (run script newy)
set rat to (newy / oldy)
set newx to (oldx * newy) / oldy
end tell
if newy > oldy then
set skp to the button returned of (display dialog "Image too small" buttons {"Resize", "Skip"} default button "Skip")
if skp = "Skip" then error
end if
tell application "Image Events"
if oldy > oldx then
scale img to size (newy as integer)
else
scale img to size (newx as integer)
end if
save img
end tell
end try
end repeat
end if
end open

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You only have 450 photos? Why are you worried about file space with only 450 photos? It seems like a lot of work for such small space saving. If you're editing a photo for a project or specific use just use the Photos->Revert to Original menu option after you've completed the project. That will remove the modified version.
Or, use Preview as the external editor to use from within iPhoto.
Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.
The do your edit with iPhoto as you normally would. Then Control-click on the thumbnail and select Edit in external Editor. When the photo comes up in Preview, do your reduction thing and save. That will reduce the size of the modified version.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to open a large file faster?

Hi,
I am developing a website which will host some documents. Size of the docuemnts are between 1MB to 10MB ans they are PDF documents. I open the document in a new page based on some inout parameters.
I am using the following code. But it takes long time to get displayed. Is there any other way of reading and displaying the file faster? Is it possible to use buffer reader here and make it faster? Please help.
OpenFileStream display =new OpenFileStream();
String fileName =request.getParameter("fileName");
display.displayFile(request,response,fileName);

The code which I sent is working. I do not know why you said it can not work.you call these methods
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/InputStream.html#read(byte[])
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/InputStream.html#available()
in this code int numOfBytes = fileInput.available();
byte byteArray[] = new byte[numOfBytes];
int totalBytes = reader.read(byteArray);In general its not guaranteed that fileInput.available() will return the number of bytes in the file. It returns how many bytes it can read before blocking. It says: "Returns the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next caller of a method for this input stream"
try adding byte byteArray[] = new byte[numOfBytes];
if(numOfBytes!=new File(fileName).length()) {
System.out.println(fileName+" has not been read correctly");
}to your code to see if this is happening.
Now I tried using the following code. Will it be
faster than previous code? I don't see why it would be - have you tried running it and timing it?
I still think the only (possibly very small) performance benefit you can get here is to overlap the reading and writing phases - so that you start reading the file, and writing it to the output stream at the same time.
