I lost my star rating system

I lost the star system rating on PSE 8. All my pictures lost the star rating How do I retrieve the rating back?

Obvious answer : if you made a recent backup, you should restore.
Otherwise, if you used 'write metadata to files', the rating may be still in the photo pictures. The problem is there is no reverse action to my knowledge : write file metadata to the database...
If you have written the metadata to files, you can check in the editor, using 'file / file info' and the 'advanced' section in the left of the panel. It's in the xmp core properties, xap:rating
So you could create a new catalog and reimport your files, you'd recover tags and ratings, but you'd lose stacks, version sets and albums.

Star Rating System

I would love for Adobe Forms to include a star rating system, similar to iTunes/Amazon etc. Im aware of the currrent ones thats built in but no simpler sysrtem like a star system.

Thank you for the suggestion.

5-star rating system

This is a good one: I want a 5-star rating system like YouTube etc so I have 5 radio buttons (not in a group) switched to the Star button style.
I want to be able to check if the star.rawValue ==1 or 0 and if so turn on/off the remaining stars.
So if no stars are selected and you pick the 4th star, 1,2 and 3 fill in. Likewise if you pick the 2nd star after the 4th, stars 3 and 4 will turn off.
What is the best way to go about this? Also I want a variable set to however many stars are set so I can track the rating somone gave it.
Here is my begining code which is far short of what it needs to be be:
//Placed on a click of rbstar1
//Checks if star2 is on and if so tuns all others off because if 2 is on then 3,4,5 might be
if(rbstar2.star2.rawValue ==1)
rbstar2.star2.rawValue =0
rbstar3.star3.rawValue =0
rbstar4.star4.rawValue =0
rbstar5.star5.rawValue =0
rbstar1.star1.rawValue =1
else
// If star 2 is not on then star 1 may not be so put it on
rbstar1.star1.rawValue =1
//this is my attempt at tracking a variable of which was selected
TextField1.rawValue ="1"
I was thinking i could use a combo of click and change events?

I tested it, normally this one should work with javascript.
Here you go:
if(this.rawValue == 1) //doesn't matter which star it is
star0.rawValue = 0;
star1.rawValue = 0;
star2.rawValue = 0;
star3.rawValue = 0;
star4.rawValue = 0;
this.rawValue = 1; //this one refers to the actual star
This one will work for ALL stars and you won't mess up the mapping of the stars.
If you do: if(starNumber.rawValue = 1) ...
You won't be able to unclick it so there is NO difference to radiobuttons.
The if sentence isn't even important then. you could simply state it as:
star0.rawValue = 0;
star1.rawValue = 0;
star2.rawValue = 0;
star3.rawValue = 0;
star4.rawValue = 0;
this.rawValue = 1;

Using Aperture's star rating system

Forum member mrhooper posted [something in another thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13357908#13357908] which caught my eye. I didn't have time to respond, and now that thread is marked answered -- and my reply is slightly off-topic -- so I started this new thread in the hopes of learning how better to use the star rankings in Aperture.
Below is +what I do.+ I'm very curious to find out what you do -- or to hear any suggestions for making what I do more sensible.
Here is (part of) mrhooper's comment.
So we are now bringing over everything into Aperture and then rating images on a 1, 2, 4, 5 basis. Come on, if its a 3 make a decision. Everything else is a 9, and then the rejects are deleted. And then the trash is emptied and they are out of the library.
So we bring in the raw and then quickly rate, and I can't image a 400 shoot taking much more than 5 minutes rate.
Go through once for 1, then for 2, by then the 4 is obvious and the 5 we just love anyway. 9 everything else.
Fwiw (always an auspicious start to an Internet posting), I TOTALLY agree re: the wasted gamut of the seven-level rating system (that's rejected-unrated-1-2-3-4-5).
Here's what I've settled on:
• If I look at a picture, I rate it. Reject or save-and-decide-later. That's "9" and "1". So "unrated" is meaningful to me. It doesn't mean "less than rated", and, importantly, it doesn't mean "not-rejected"; it means, literally, not-yet-rated. (The problem solved here occurs when I am part way through tossing rejects from a Project and I am interrupted.)
Immediately after import, I add a Project description, assign a Place, and Stack images taken in burst mode or with any range of exposure settings. When I rate images in a Project, the first thing I do is go through these Stacks and select the most usable image from these minor variations (I need to do this before comparing un-like images in the Project). Within any Stack, I might have rejects ("9") and saves (1-star); the "pick" of the Stack gets a 2-star rating (1-star is already in use).
• 1- and 2-star ratings +have the same value to me as images.+ The only difference is that 2-star images came from Stacks. (Those Stacks may contain 1-star images which for any number of reasons I want to retain even though they are not a Stack pick and will likely never be promoted nor processed nor printed nor published).
Now I can go through my Project and make my picks. I mark images to be developed in RED (I use the 8 color labels to track image development). All of these also get upgraded to 3- or 4-stars.
• 3-star means "keep". The general idea is that in a few years time I will likely want to do some major weeding in my Aperture orchard. Any 1- or 2-star images will then be unceremoniously deleted. 3-star images will be kept.
• 4-star means good enough for publication. One of the best of the Project.
After I develop the images in a Project, I will re-assign the star rankings. During development, some images will be promoted.
• 5-star means not only good enough to be published as one of the best of the Project (and I mean that at whatever level one works -- from emailed to friends to printed for sale), but good enough to be included in some other sampling of my work. (I keep an Album for my Portfolio. The images in the Album are selected from my 5-star images.
Note that in my use, +star ratings are Project specific+. There is no value-equivalence between the star ratings -- and I consciously try to avoid comparisons across Projects. (If I've done a shoot, I need to know which are the usable/salable shots in that shoot -- I don't need to know how they rank in my life's work.) All of the 4-star images in one Project may be of less comparative value to me than the only 4-star image in another Project.
So in my system, "Reject", "3-star", and "4-star" are the only ratings which are necessary. They correspond to the all important distinctions mrhooper indicated:
- throw-out
- keep but don't use
- use.
The other star ratings could -- and from a tidy database standard, should -- be replaced by a metadatum that is not part of the rating gamut.
The orchard floor is yours ...

Hi Kirby,
Thanks for opening this up, as I suspect most of us have gone through the "let's see that's a 1 or no... probably a 2, perhaps I can clean up the backgound and then it would be 3. " etc etc.
We settled on a similar process where you suggest it is a project by project rating, not our life's work.
So we skip 3, play with 4 and 5, that should be obvious.
1 and 2, they are going to be deleted at some stage in the future, unless it is some rare thing, and that doesn't happen every shoot.
In Jan this year looked at the 2008 year 1, 2 and deleted most of them. Hey, we hadn't used them, touched them, improved them or even thought about them. Goodbye.
Some memorabilia, sentimental value ones got to stay.
When we look for the best, then 5 is the go. Maybe a review of 4's but only if we are struggling in 5s
Which by the way we tend to be fairly generous with I suppose.
Checked a shot of 60 images early in the week, 15 are in the 4 and 5, 8 are 5.
We also use the wonderful color system. Now this sorts out a lot of things for later smart albums.
Here are a few Green-teaching. Red-for web site pages, Blue - the crown jewels, the ones we both love. Purple- spec shots for photo library etc.
Yep, sometimes a shot might be two or more colors, but it is not stopping us at the moment.
We do shoot burst, but don't stack. If its a 4 I want to be able to see it. We create albums in the project Star 4, Star 5, so there they are in a hurry. Yep, know it is easy to do that in the search box, and can use Ctlr1-5, but the clever is later when we can be really specific in search for albums with Star 5, or what ever.
Just to finish off, the 4 and 5 get keywords, lots of them. From event, to person, to specific lighting, to species, or building type or.....
want a pic of a 1937 Ford- in Blue, at the Last Cafe, in Spring, in the sunshine, front lit, side view?
That is what Aperture does.
and because of the way we use projects for each shoot, bet I could find it in about 10 seconds in quick review of the appropriate year or month as well.
This is not the thread on project names, but we have from the beginning way back in iPhoto(5) put them in as a date and description.
Cool thing now in Projects/Full Screen, is I can Filter by the date number so typing in 9012 gets me all the projects only from 2009, December. (9) 0 (12) Oh, am aware of what is going to happen when we have been round the scale once and the numbers come back. And we have a plan.
I am sure there are other ways to start a good system, to use the ratings and the keywords of Aperture, and agree that you have to think project specific when it comes to what is a 5.
Reserving 5 only for the 'very best image you ever took of a rose", is a bit limiting and what if my "Very best waterfall picture' is even better?
Thanks for starting a good ideas discussion.

How effective is the five star rating system?

I'm all for rating buyers and sellers on eBay so that one can distinguish the good buyers and sellers from those that are perhaps a little less professional. However, I've had sellers ask me to leave a 5 star rating across the board, as they claim anything less is considered a negative rating. Most sellers write thank you on the items they send but in many cases that's the only communication that you've had with them. What does that warrant on the rating system to provide honest feedback? When the description on an item doesn't really tell you anything other than say "old stamp". How do you rate that? It is an old stamp; so looked at one way the description is very accurate but it's not really telling you anything about the item.. I may be a bit naive here but I've never seen a list of the criteria used to determine "very accurate", "very fast", "very satisfied" or "very quickly". For the rating system to accurately reflect how good or poor the buyers and sellers are it needs to be objective. That is to say that buyers and sellers must have a generally agreed upon statement of what constitutes the categories from 1 to 5. After all one person's "very fast" (it shipped within a week) could be another person's "very slow". Subjective ratings are open to interpretation and all one sees is the feedback comment and the ratings not how the person determined the ratings. I think this is a discussion that would help to improve the feedback system and make it a more accurate reflection of how both buyers and sellers do business in this arena.

It seems now that Ebay let now the sellers decide when it is ok to receive an item Not exactly. EBay removes Seller Protection if the seller does not ship within seven days. Which has been the policy for many years. The delivery time is mostly due to the shipping service (China Post, USPS, Canada Post) although if an overseas seller uses Surface Shipping, he should understand that it will be on the high seas for six weeks to three months.The 'expected delivery time' is given by the shipping service not by the seller. Paypal is now allowing buyers to open disputes for up to 180 days**, in part as a reaction to unhappy buyers who have been hornswoggled into waiting past the former 45 day deadline for delivery. So really, there is now more power in the hands of the buyer. In my opinion, and I have lots of opinions. no buyer should wait more than 30 days for a delivery.Normal delivery from Europe* is 10 to 15 days.From Canada or the USA 15 to 20 days.From Asia 20 to 30 days. After that contact the seller and if neither tracking information nor a refund arrives within 24 hours, open a Dispute. *European sellers use Air Mail as default. Asian sellers, especially those using Free Shipping, use Surface as a default. **(Or just don't ship at all and then promise a replacement which never arrives, but by then the Dispute period of 45 days has passed.)

Star rating system improvement

Here is an easy fix which will add add much more organizing power to the Bridge. In addition to filtering between viewing 1 or more stars, 2 or more stars, etc. you should be able to filter to view only the "one stars" or only the "two stars," etc., etc.

You can do a search for 1 or 2.. stars and save that as a favourite, but it's not as good as your more sensible suggestion.
And if implemented, please don't hide this in menus like the current very clunky method of changing views. Loads of blank space under menus even with my small travelling laptop to put loads of buttons. Make it customisable too. Corel Draw has done it for ten+ years now.

How to I find the 5 star rating system for Dreamweaver cc

I installed it, it says it's installed, but I can't find where it installed its self. Where do I find it to install in my pages
Thanks

Oh geez. you mean comes as a download file and not an install like phone gap. That just doesn't make sense to me. If it's an addon, it should add on.
thanks

Query: Star Rating Usage

(Added: I see it's been 18 months since I settled on the now "old" system.)
There are seven ratings in the built-in star rating system: Rejected, Un-rated, and 1- to 5-star. Do you use all of them? What specifically do they signify?
I'm about to change my long-used rating system in my personal Library. I had used 1- and 2-star to indicate "saves" and "best of" in a Stack of similar Images while I culled those stacked Images for the one to develop. I stopped stacking similar Images (to avoid the confusion with Version Stacks, which I use continuously), and so have not used 1- and 2-star ratings for many months. My ratings had been limited to 3-, 4-, and 5-star, which I used to rate Images per project (keep, good, best). For Library-wide ratings, I used Keywords (mostly "Portfolio").
Working to renew my portfolio(s) has caused me to rethink this. I am now likely to bump down my ratings, and make 5-star = "Portfolio". Like so:
★
Keep
There are often Images I keep but won't develop. This let's me know I've decided to keep them, and that I shouldn't delete them. (Example: excellent composition, misplaced focus.)
★★
Good for Project
These have a potential use within the Project. In essence: development potential.
★★★
Superior in Project
Develop these! Will likely be used.
★★★★
Portfolio Nominee
These I want to consider adding to my Portfolio. I actually keep several portfolios, distinct by genre, or sometimes type (Grayscale flowers, for instance). This is a Library-wide rating.
★★★★★
Portfolio Selection
These won't be marked in the Projects, but rather in the Smart Albums that collect developed nominated Images. This, too, is a Library-wide rating.
Imported Images are unrated. Then, on a per-Project basis, they get either rejected, or rated 1-, 2-, or 3-star. Developed Images which are exceptional get bumped to 4-star status. I have Smart Albums that collect all 4-star Images by genre. From here I will upgrade Images to 5-star (= "in Portfolio"). Or from the 5-star Smart Album, I'll downgrade ones to 4-star when needed.
Before I implement this system, I like to hear how you use the built-in star ratings. Thanks in advance .

Kirby,
I like your list and the categories you have chosen for the ratings i.e. the clear distinction of ratings within project and portifolio.
My use of (final) ratings is similar, but I did not put in so precise words as you did. My ratings change over and over again, while I am working with the images.
During the first few month, while I am still working solely on one project, all ratings are relative to the project.
When first browsing the images the ratings are quick and intuitive:
Reject (techically bad,delete immediately),
1 - (techically bad, but keep, wait and see, if it is not the only picture of the bear, the lion, or a very special moment),
2 - o.k., but boring,
3 - o.k., and there is something I like, needs a lot of work
4 - great picture, but there is a still better one, keep it for the screen saver for variety
5 - wow - I like it the first time I see it, show it off in collections
Usually the really good images start off with the rating 5 and are downgraded, when I see more pictures and have looked closely at details. This is the phase, when I use stacks of similar images. Redundant images in the categories 1, 2, or 3 will be deleted, many 5s will be downgraded to 4. Continue, until all stacks of similar images only contain one image.
When I start to use the new images in library wide projects and compare them to other images, I downgrade more 5s to 4s, start to use version stacks, and all other rating is done by using keywords: slideshow, weg gallery, book, screensaver, wallpaper

Photos and star rating??

After doing the software update and changing from iPhoto to Photos I can't seem to figure out how to rate my photos. The directions in "Help" say that I can go to View-Rating- etc. but I don't see that when I look at the drop down menu. I have years worth of photos star rated and that's how I organize my smart albums. Is there an easy way to still do this or have they removed the star rating system?
Thank you
Isabel Roberts

I suggest you write in to https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html with feedback that you really need this feature. I did as I have a ton of shots I have rated this way for years.

Star rating on Windows / colour coding on OSX

Hi Smart people in Appleland
Some of my team are on Mac (me in particular) and some are on Windows. We Sync files via Dropbox.
As part of our research we trawl a lot of documents and review them. On the Mac I colour code them (labels) for relevance (Green = great, Yellow = maybe, Grey = not relevant).
The folks on Windows use their star rating system ***** = great, *** = maybe, * = Grey.
At the moment, the Mac folks can't see their ratings, and the Windows folks can't see my colour codings. The workaround is to print out a screenshot and re-enter the ratings / colours, which works, but is tedious to say the least.
Does anyone have an alternative solution which can be seen on both platforms?
Many thanks

Hi Cougar Mutimedia ,
Will the issue occur with specific file type , specific file or all the file ?Have you tried to re-join the music to have a check ?
We can try the built-in troubleshoot tool to have a check :
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories\Windows Media Player Library ,Windows Media Player Settings
Or try the following tool :
Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/windows_media_player_diagnostic?wa=wsignin1.0
If the issue persists,we may need to reinstall the Windows Media Player to have check .
Click “Start” button, type “windows features” in the program search box and hit enter.
1. In the “Windows Features” dialog box, look for “Media Features” and expand it.
2. Clear “Windows Media Player” check box.
3. As soon as you clear the check box, you will see a pop-up saying that “The following Windows features will also be turned off because they are dependent on Windows Media Player.” The listed program is “Windows Media Center”.
4. Go ahead and click “Yes”. Windows will now begin uninstalling WMP12.
5. You to restart Windows for the uninstallation to complete.
6. Click “Start” button, type “windows features” in the program search box and hit enter.
7. In the “Windows Features” dialog box, look for “Media Features” and expand it.
8. Check boxes “Windows Media Player” and “Windows Media Center”.
9. Click “OK”. Windows will take some time in reinstalling them. Wait for the process to finish.
10. You to restart Windows for the installation to complete.

Hi,
One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
Any idea how can this problem be solved?
It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
Thanks

Star rating and user review system

Hi
I am trying to find if there is a star rating and user

Whilst it is ubiquotous these days, I have having

Did you try over at www.hotscripts.com
Be careful what type of script you implement though - check
it out
thoroughly. I installed one recently and it was hacked on a
regular basis
until I removed it !

How do I use the rating system for multiple raters?

My wife, her sister, and I are all rating some photos I took a couple of days ago. Each of us, of course, has different favorites.
I would like to record our different ratings in the LR3 rating system but can't see an immediately obvious way to do so. I thought of using the color labels--different color for each of us. But each photo will only take one color label. I could use the star ratings, one star for only one selection, two for two, etc. But that would not record who chose which. I need to know that.
Has anyone had the same problem? If so, is there some rather obvious solution? I would think that it's not all that unusual for several folk to participate in a shoot, using one camera; and then to need some way to record their differing judgments on the photos in LR3.
Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance,
John Kendrick

The rating system in LR3 is not really designed with that type of functionality in mind. The "target Lightroom user" is an individual that uses LR to create a catalog of photographs which can be graded with a star rating based upon their opinion of the photograph. The concept of seperate star ratings for multiple users doesn't really fit into that concept. LR3, in general, is designed with a single photographer in mind... one that essentially uses the program by his/herself... so it has a bare minimum of 'group' functionality.
It may be possible to find a plug-in that will enable star ratings by multiple users, but I've never heard of one before.
If you really, really need this type of functionality (i.e. saving star ratings by multiple people), the only way to do it that I could think of would be to create multiple collections of the same shoot, each of which is filled with virtual copies of the original photos. Each collection could hypothetically be called '08-03-2010 Bill Ratings'...'08-03-2010 Jill Ratings'... etc... etc. Admittedly, such a workaround may very well be more trouble than its worth... that's just the only way I can think of that you might come close to achieving the functionality you're after.
***EDIT: You beat me to it (VC idea) while I was typing this reply, Ian... wasn't trying to post redundant info...

Rating system odd problem

Hi,
I've created a enterprise wiki and the page rating does not display correctly. Instead of displaying stars as a graphic it shows text saying
'click to apply your rating as 1 star, click to apply your rating as 2 stars...etc"
The rating system works and displays on things like blog posts etc.
Any help is appreciated!

The Solution is with the X_UA-Compatible. You can adding the tag in the masterpage:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
Not optimal but this is the solution, see on

I have a editing issue with (sequence) rating system in Bridge.

So I am editing in Bridge staring each keeper photo and as I do so the newly rated or 1 star photo I just marked skips ahead in front of the next photo. So in other words lets say I rated or stared photo number 1278 and the next one is 1279 and after marking 1278 it goes in front of 1279 reversing the sequence? What is causing this to happen. Also yesterday a whole batch of photos from a shoot (3500 of them) lost all time sequence ( I am viewing as "Date created" reverted to one time rather than when they were actually shot much later. I had two hardrives of the same photos and on my backup folder on the other hard drive this did not occur. Unfort I had edited almost the whole corrupted folder so going back to the clean back up HD was not what I wanted to do. Any ideas on this. the files that converted to the wrong date created also have a out of focus quality as if the file is opening but never clears up.

DOes tha make sense? Before you had me reset it I could
scroll thru in bridge and use just single key grading actions and now I must
use command Action.
Your Bridge set up must have been really messed because the normal behavior
to set rate and label has always been with the two key combination when in a
workspace with content window set up. When in content panel pressing a key
without command brings you straight to the file (or first in series) with
the first character that equals the key you pressed. If you have a filename
starting with 3 pressing the key 3 for 3 star rating would move the focus
from your selected file and bring you straight to that other file with a
name starting with 3.
However you could also use other options. Not only slideshow allows you to
use one key, also the full screen (hit space bar to get there) or the Review
mode (hit cmd+B to get there) in both mode you can move the files with arrow
key and use one key for rate or label.
two key action such as COMMAND 1 to make it a 1 star or COMMAND 6 to make it
this makes for allot more work and more carpal tunnel
nightmare lol!
It is also not more work to hit one ore two keys at the same time and using
the cmd + . (dot) and Cmd+ , (comma) also increases or decreases your rating
with one star.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is nothing to laugh about but highly unlikely to get
from using a key board.
There must be a fucntion to make thsi change?
No, there is not.

I lost my star rating system
