I want to do a basic batch edit to a wack of pictures can lightroom 4.3 do it?

any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated...

Have you tried Auto Sync for this kind of task?
If not, highlight multiple images in Develop and from the Sync button at lower right, you can toggle Auto Sync on and off).
While toggled on, all Develop changes (of whatever sort) made to the active image, are also applied to any other highlighted images, at the same absolute values (making due allowance in some cases - such as WB, or camera profile - for the inherent difference between Raw and non-Raw based images).
Until used to this behaviour, it is a good idea to toggle AutoSync off again once the task is finished, and so minimise unexpected and unnoticed edits to many images... [it's almost too powerful a feature to leave active]
This is all as distinct from Quick Develop, which also applies changes to multiple highlighted images... but does so in a relative manner.

I just bought the new 2014 Mac Mini 2.6 8Gig for $699 at the Apple Store Online. I want to use it for light editing in iMovie making video's for YouTube, I couldn't afford the higher priced models. Is this going to work for me? I hope so..

Will this do basic video editing for YouTube Video's in iMovie, I hope so. It's all I could afford.
Just under $800 with tax and Applecare.
It's stock 2.6 8gigs 1 terabyte hard drive.
I have two monitors DVI that I plan to hook to it.
I know it's weak but will it get me going without too much hardship.
I want to grow into the more high priced computers and Final Cut Pro later on.
I know I will need a bigger computer then.
Thanks

There are many people using the basic (i5) 2012 MacMini and even older ones to edit complex films in FCP X so you should have no problems.
I have been using FCP 7 and FCP X since they came out on my 2008 iMac Core 2 Duo and am thinking of getting the same model as you rather than pay the astronomic price for a new 27" iMac.
The performance won't be quite as fast but it will be at least 4 times faster at rendering than my old iMac.

Batch Editing with Photoshop Elements 4.0

I have an folder of photos which I would like to resize as a batch with Photoshop Elements 4.0. However, I am at a loss as to how to do it and am missing a step or two in my workflow.
I would appreciate any specific step by step suggestion that you may have.
Thanks for your help.

not for "batch editing"
You can set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences. iPhoto has the capability to directly interface with any external editor - simply go to the iPhoto preferences (iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> General and set the Edit photo option to in external editor - select the desired external editor and you are set - now when you edit photos they are sent to the selected external editor and when you are finished editing you save (not save as) and the edited photo is returned to iPhoto, the original is maintained in iPhoto and the iPhoto database is correctly updated.
If you want the option of editing in either iPhoto or the external editor after selecting your external editor simply set the edit in back to main window - now when you right click (control Click) on a photo you will get a menu which allows you to select either.

Font licensing and EULA: Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition

Hi all,
I'm not necesarilly working with graphic design daily. However, I may have to replicate a design for a publication that uses Adobe Garamond Pro, which is why I got interested in Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition.
However, before I shell out the cash, I'd like to ask a few questions about related EULA's and font licensing issues - as the last thing I want to do is buy something, and then end up sued/financially destroyed/imprisoned anyways. (which is why I prefer with open fonts & software - at least no worries about prison, in case of misunderstanding the legalese)
So, here are the questions:
I am a Linux user, and I primarily intent to use the fonts with xelatex. On the download page, there are two options: "Win" and "Mac". Which one should I choose? Related question: Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:Windows can use OpenType, Windows Type1 and Windows TrueType fonts. Windows cannot directly read Mac TrueType or Mac Type1 fonts.
Macintosh can use OpenType, Mac Type1, Mac TrueType, and Win TrueType. Adobe products can read some Windows Type 1 fonts if installed in the correct folder.
Versions - possibly unrelated, but I've found this old comment from 2003 for 'Adobe Type Basics 5.0 Mlp (CD-ROM)':Unfortunately, this product includes fonts in the older PostScript "Type 1" font format instead of the newer OpenType format. Adobe sells an OpenType edition of Adobe Type Basics, but this is a download-only product. I wish Adobe would sell the OpenType Edition on CD.... so just to make sure: I would definitely download the OpenType if I buy from the above Adobe - Fonts : Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition link, right?
Re-download - the Adobe Type Basics page doesn't mention the file format of the download, nor its size. With bought fonts, I'd consider installing whatever I need for as long as project lasts, then deleting everything from my computer, since I don't like proprietary stuff sitting on it. Thus, I'd be interested in re-donwloading the Adobe Type Basics package. So is this package a zip file or similar, if so - how big is it? Can I download the file multiple times after purchase? Is the number of times I can redownload limited?
I may have to do (in a role of page layouter for an academic institution) a document for a relatively big academic publisher (Springer); and I have little idea about how font licensing works there. Let's say I prepare a PDF which uses Adobe Garamond Pro, and embeds that font. Is it legal for me to just send that document to the publisher for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? I'm worried because I found in Adobe Forums: Install a Mac font on a PC:As I understand it, print service providers are required by the font EULA to own the font even though the customer provides it.
I suggest you ask your customer to purchase the modern OpenType versions of the fonts. ... but then, Springer are "publishers", not "printers"? How worried should I be about this? Should I ask for confirmation in writing from them, that they own the particular embedded font? Then again, since in this case I'd be working for an academic institution as page layouter, should the academic institution also buy the font? If the academic institution already owns the font, am I legally obliged to own it as a page layouter (even if I'd use that font on the institutions computers with licensed fonts on them)? I'm pretty sure I'd be legally obliged to own it if I intend to prepare the layout on my own computer, is that correct?
The download page mentions for "End User License": 5 computers. Say I install one Adobe Garamond Pro on one computer, use it there for the duration of a project, and then delete it from the computer. Is this computer then still counted towards the number of seats?
Occasionally, I have my personal notes and such typeset in Latex, and here I send them to a printer (as in, "print service provider") to print 2-3 copies in softcover for personal use. As far as I understand it, this does not represent a "published" book (and so there isn't a "publisher" institution as in the Springer example above). So, in this case, again the same situation: let's say I prepare a PDF which uses Adobe Garamond Pro, and embeds that font. Is it legal for me to just send that document to the print house for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? How worried should I be about this?

Well, I believe this is all I have for asking (for now) - thanks in advance for any answers!

If you want Adobe Type Basics OpenType edition, then the fonts support multiple platforms. OpenType fonts work on Mac, Win and Linux systems.
Versions - possibly unrelated, but I've found this old comment from 2003 for 'Adobe Type Basics 5.0 Mlp (CD-ROM)':Unfortunately, this product includes fonts in the older PostScript "Type 1" font format instead of the newer OpenType format.

Yes, the Adobe Type Basics Open Type Edition would provide you with OpenType versions of the fonts. Sorry that we don’t offer all the different fonts, font families and variations on CD-ROM, but it would be cost-prohibitive to make all those versions, and font software is relatively small compared to application software. That said, Our font EULA (End User License Agreement) which can be found at: http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/pdfs/wf_EULA071111/EULA5seat_USEnglish07.11.11.htm l states: “2.5 Backup Copy. You may make a reasonable number of backup copies of the Software, provided your backup copies are not installed or used for other than archival purposes.” So you can make your own CD-ROM.
Re-download - the Adobe Type Basics page doesn't mention the file format of the download, nor its size.

The file format is OpenType (CFF). I would recommend making a backup copy of these fonts if you don’t want to keep them on your system. Our Electronic Software Download service is not meant to be used for storage.

Wow! Lots of questions here. First of all, publishers publish. Printing is just one form of publishing. Embedding information for Adobe fonts can be found at the following:
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/additional_licenses.html
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/info/embedding.html
If you send a file to a print service provider and send a copy of the font along as well, then the printer needs to own a valid copy themselves. If you send the print service provider a PDF version of the file, then you can embed the font in the PDF (but you would not send the a raw version of the font). In this case, the printer doesn’t need the font, because it is embedded in the document.
The download page mentions for "End User License": 5 computers. Say I install one Adobe Garamond Pro on one computer, use it there for the duration of a project, and then delete it from the computer. Is this computer then still counted towards the number of seats?
If you buy a license for Adobe Garamond Pro, you have up to 5 seats. So, it can be installed on a maximum of five computers at your company. It is that simple to be in compliance. If you were to obtain Adobe Garamond Pro by purchasing Adobe Type Basics OpenType Edition, then you can install the entire set on up to five computers at your company. You are licensing the set, and the fonts cannot be split up and used across multiple users at your company.
Occasionally, I have my personal notes and such typeset in Latex, and here I send them to a printer (as in, "print service provider") to print 2-3 copies in softcover for personal use.

Is it legal for me to just send that document to the print house for printing, if I had purchased the Basics OpenType edition? How worried should I be about this?
Yes. It is legal to send the document to a print service provider with the font embedded in PDF. You are printing a document, and your interpretation of what it means to “publish” or be a “publisher” is not relevant. The words don’t even appear in our EULA.

What's the best MacBook for basic graphic editing?

Hi there,
I've been saving up to finally get a MacBook after having a pro during university (stupidly it got soaked in my bag during a thunderstorm and didn't have any insurance on it). However, I'm trying to save as much money as I can so can't afford the high end laptops.
All I need for the MacBook to do is run the following programs without it becoming slow in the long run:
Adobe Photoshop CC
Adobe Dreamweaver CC
Adobe InDesign CC
Microsoft Office Home & Business
The basic system requirements for the Adobe CC programs are:
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
2GB of RAM
3.2GB of available hard-disk space
1280x1024 display with 16-bit video card
QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for HTML5 media playback
All I need it for is templating and editing newsletters as well as creative posters/flyers/brochures.
I'm deciding whether I should just get the basic 13-inch MacBook Air, 13-inch Macbook Pro (with Retina display) or 2.5GHz Mac mini? Bear in mind that I'll have to purchase the Micrsoft Office program (approx. £157 on Amazon) & get a screen/keyboard/mouse with the Mac Mini).
I have around £1,000 to spend and really unsure as to what to buy.
Please note, I am not interested in buying a Windows equivelant (as I cannot stand Windows 8/8.1).
Thanks!

Any of those Macs will meet the basic specs for Office and Adobe. The real question is how you configure what you buy, based on how you are going to use the programs. The system requirements listed are definitely basic. They are about as basic as saying that you could buy a 2-seater Smart Car as your transportation: You could, but you'd be very limited in what you could do.
If you are going to run any one program at a time, the base model of any of those Macs (4GB RAM) will be fine. But working on newsletters and flyers, for efficiency's sake you will probably have more than one program open at a time: Word for preparing text, Photoshop for preparing photos, and Dreamweaver or InDesign where you lay it all out, going back and forth between them. That increases your RAM needs. 8GB would be a good place to be, but if you can afford to buy with the maximum amount of RAM that would help future-proof the Mac (since future versions of software always need more RAM, not less).
Having more RAM is more critical if you plan to use Photoshop for fancy stuff like cameras with lots of megapixels, raw editing, panoramas, HDR, or 3D. If you are just doing basic photo editing, 8GB RAM is fine. The other software you listed doesn't need as much RAM so more than one of them will run fine together under 8GB RAM.
If you get a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, they start with only 128GB storage and it cannot be upgraded. That might not be enough space in the long run if you use a lot of graphics files and photos, so think about specifying at least 256GB storage in whatever you buy if your newsletter projects are large and you don't want to store them on external drives. The Mac mini starts out with a nice big hard drive.
What it will probably come down to is, spec out all three models you are considering with at least 8GB RAM and as much storage as you will need during the life of the computer, then pick the one that fits your budget. If you need portability, cross off the Mac mini.

Batch Editing in Photoshop CS4

Hey guys, i want to batch edit image from aperture using CS4. Specifically I have an action set up that changes size an applies logo. My query is, how to I tell CS4 that i want to batch images from Aperture? Without exporting to desktop or whatever from Aperture ideally. I'm looking at doing about 300 images a batch. (In their own albums)
Cheers
Rowan

I don't know that you can batch to CS4. It's usually a one-at-a-time edit.
For batch applying a logo, using Aperture's watermarking functionality would be an easy way to do this, without having to use Photoshop.

Batch editing raw files from bridge

When I batch edit my raw files, including saving the file as a jpeg, from bridge or photoshop the resulting file saved never includes any changes I made in the Camera Raw editor. For example if I have lightened the photo by changing the exposure in Camera Raw as a saved jpeg after batching the file is still as dark as when originally shot. Is there some little box I forgot to check or something? Thanks!
andy

Edit:
Glad to hear you got it working.
I'll just leave what i had put here anyway.
You want Program Files (x86)
That's where the 32 bit programs such as photoshop cs3 are on a windows 7 64 bit system.
Also, in bridge cs3 under Edit>Preferences>Thumbnails ensure Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for Jpeg and Tiff files is checked.
(then restart bridge cs3)

To batch edit , with our lift and stamp

is it possible to batch edit all my images with AUTO level, so that each pic will be edited independent RATHER than lift adjustment and Stamp the same adjustment , which will not work cause each pic needs a different level and white balance,,

I don't want to delete any of the IPTC info.
I just want to lift Caption from IPTC and leave any other IPTC info untouched in both images (lifted and stamped)
So the image I'm lifting has a different provider from the one I want to stamp but the should all have the same caption. How can I only lift and stamp the caption?
thank you

Batch Editing

Greetings,
I have a question about batch editing of photos that I can't seem to find an answer for either through extensive Googling, Aperture's help files or Apple's website. I hope you can help.
When I shoot RAW, I shoot hundred of photos a day. I would like to apply a few Quick Fix presets to them, but I cannot find a way to do this in a batch, it seems that Aperture will only allow me to add enhancements to photos one at a time.
In a browser mode, I've selected all the photos (Command-A) and clicked on the preset that I want, but only the first file in the group gets changed.
What am I doing wrong? Can I apply changes only to one photo at a time or am I missing something?
Thanks for your time.

First, make sure you don't have "Primary Only" set to "On".
A good practice is to adjust one photo the way you want, then +Lift Adjustments+ (delete from the list any you don't want), select all the photos to which you want to apply the remaining adjustment(s), and +Stamp Adjustments+. I have assigned a keyboard shortcut to Lift Adjustments (iirc).
This will meet your need. There may be a quicker way to batch apply a preset -- I'm on the forum while I upgrade my vaults and can't check just now.

Basic Video Editing

Batch editing ratings problems (Beatunes related)

Is there a windows script that would enable to batch edit ratings in both the iTunes library, and within each mp3?
Secondly, is there a way to enable half star ratings in the latest 64bit version of iTunes (running on 64bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise)?
I've never used half star ratings on my iTunes library, and upon reading, am not certain if this is possible anymore.
For the last few months, I've been using Beatunes to organize my large sized iTunes library, but seem to have hit some glitches related to ratings.
In short, when I access my Itunes library via Beatunes, about 5000 songs appear to have "1/2" in the rating field.
Itunes library seems to see these songs as having no rating.
Beatunes does not allow ratings to be edited, and since the 1/2 is not seen in iTunes, I would select all those songs and use an empty tag (such as "Show") and designate the value as "Half". In iTunes, I would then select the "Show" column, and highlight all the songs with "Half" in the "Show" column, right click, and change the rating value for all songs. For testing purposes, I changed all songs to have 2 stars. When I sync the Beatunes database to the iTunes database, eventually the Beatuens ratings change to 2 stars (sometimes, it takes a few syncs).
I would then go back to iTunes, right click on all selected songs, and change rating value to "None". Most ratings change to empty values, while some decide to take on hollow star values, which is really really annoying.
I then used Steve MacGuire's ClearTrackAutoRating script on those selected tracks:
http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp
When I sync the Beatunes database with the iTunes database, the songs I had rated 2 stars go back to "1/2" rating, and not an empty field.
I can't figure out what is triggering this.
I've started a thread in Beatunes forum (http://help.beatunes.com/discussions/problems/40759-half-star-ratings-problems), but figured I would start one here to ask for advice, or see if there are any other scripts I should consider trying. At this time, I have not heard back from the developer, as I just posted it a few hours ago.
One of the things I just tried doing was enabling iTunes to use half star ratings (so i could see the 1/2 rated songs would then show), but I have not been able to figure out how to do this. The most common way of altering iTunesPrefs.xml did not do anything for me:
http://blog.beatunes.com/2011/08/showing-half-star-ratings-in-itunes.html
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Enable-Half-Stars-In-Itunes/
Hence why I was wondering if this hack still works on 64bit version of iTunes (running on 64bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise).
I also came across this:
http://www.nextofwindows.com/interesting-tip-how-to-enable-half-star-rating-in-i tunes-in-windows/
They suggest adding:<key>storefront</key> <string>143441-1,12</string> at the end of iTunesPrefs.xml
This is confusing, because my prefs already contain the following at the end:
<key>storefront</key> <string>143455-6,17</string>
Am I supposed to keep my existent, and just add after, or do I replace what is there?
Any help/advice would be very much appreciated.

Hi there...
I've had a quick check and the iTunesPrefs.xml hack works for me to enable half-ratings. Tested on iTunes 11.1.5 running on Windows 7 32-bit, but no reason to expect platform differences. This build displays ½ rather than a half-star. Once enabled you can set half-ratings via the iTunes interface. I haven't set back yet but presumably they will disappear if I do.
The album and track ratin properties take a value from 0% to 100%. If 0% iTunes will offer a track-auto rating based on any manual album rating and an album auto-rating based upon manual track ratings. My scripts set a manual rating of 1% which iTunes treats as less than ½ and so displays as no rating, but it suppresses any auto-rating. Presumably Beatunes is treating anything from 1%-10% as ½ star, 11%-20% as 1 star, and so on. For iTunes from 0%-9% is no stars, 10%-19% is ½ star, 20%-29% is 1 star, etc., with bigger ranges when half-ratings are not enabled.
My scripts page already has ResetAlbumAutoRating and ResetTrackAutoRating scripts if you need to remove those 1% values, or you can simply set a new rating and then remove it.
What additional batch rating task do you have in mind?

How can I edit batch edited photos from Photomatix in Lightroom?

I have been shooting some last week with my new Canon 70D in RAW and Jpeg and both come through just fine. I batch edited a series of photos in Photomtaix and imported into Lightroom and they all show up with a purple haze. They show up this way in Picasa too.
Here is a screenshot. I have exported from Photomatix as jpeg and as tiff but both look this way. Is there a setting I need to adjust in Lightroom?
Thanks!!!

Photoshop crashes whenever I try to batch edit.

Photoshop crashes whenever I try to batch edit. It's getting old to keep losing all my work... does anyone know how to resolve or avoid this? Thank you!

Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

Using Actions in batch editing??

Is there any way to use Actions in Batch Editing in Photoshop Elements 10 or any Elements?? Thanks!

No, this is one of the lines adobe has drawn to differentiate between PS and PSE. In PSE you can only run an action on one file at a time, not on a folder as in PS. It might be possible with an add-on like elements+, which claims to allow scripting for batch processing, but I've never tried that. Perhaps someone else will know for sure.

Batch editing in Iphoto

I have 2 different makes of camera which I take on holiday.When I transfer the photos into iphoto they have different prefixes on the filename as a result of being different makes.Is there anyway I can batch edit these photos to make Iphoto recognise the date and time they were taken in order that they can be viewed in chronological order?
I know that you can do it manually by changing each individual file name but it takes forever.Ive tried using the Namechanger app but all that seemed to do was alter the metadata resulting in me being unable to drag the photos out of iphoto causing me to have to do a time machine restore of the entire library.
Any ideas would be much appreciated

I do not understand, why it is necessary to change the filenames to be able to view the photos in chronological order?
Have the cameras not been set to the same time? You can correct that by selecting all photos for each camera and using the command "Photos > Adjust date and time".
Once all photos are using the same time base, you can ad them to an album and arrange the album by date; this way the photos will be shown in chronological order.
Once you have the photos in an album in chronological order you can rename the versions using the command "Photos > Batch change > Set title to text" and enable to append a number. Then all photos will be named consistently. To change the original filenames you would have to export the images again and use the titles a filenames, but that should not be necessary.
