Ideas for displaying photos

I'm building a site whereby users are allowed to upload
photos as part
of a profile and then have them displayed nicely in a gallery
somehow on
their profile page.
I'm not sure of the best approach to this.
We need to put some limitations on how much the users can
upload, either
by the number of photos or by the total file size of all
their photos.
Which do you think would be best/easiest to implement?
Users need to be able to delete photos and Site
Administrators will need
to be able delete photos too, in case they are of unsuitable
material etc.
Should I upload and save the filenames in the db?
I'm really at a loss to know what's best.
Am using PHP and mySQL.

Have you look at this?

  • Image quality for displaying photos

    I like to use my Apple TV (3rd gen) for displaying photos taken with a variety of devices - Fuji X100s, iPhone 5, Nikon d7000. The output from these devices looks great on my 3Gen iPad but quite a bit less so on the 1080p Samsung tv, they almost look a little pixelated. On the other hand, Apples stock screen saver photos look great on the same tv.
    I don't believe that my cameras don't take good enough jpg's to display well and have concluded that Apple may be doing something to their photos that I haven't figured out.
    Any suggestions?

    Not all my photos are great to begin with, many are taken in poor lighting conditions, but the good photos are equally as good as the stock photography.

  • Help!  Ideas for displaying ~100-300 still images with After Effects / Premiere Pro

    Hi, I am a cadet at a US Air Force detachment and am responsible for making this semester's end of the year video.
    I have the Adobe creative cloud and am familiar with the basics of Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and I am trying to also learn After Effects.  I have a large amount of picture and video, and am at a loss for how to quickly make all these pictures into an interesting slideshow.  Software such as Cyberlink Powerdirector had a "photo grid" which would allow me to create an automatic slideshow of images on a 3x3 grid, where each image flashed into place one at a time.  I am looking for automated processes or tutorials to feed my images into and have a modern effect of displaying the images.
    If anyone has any idea for a template or where to start on handling a large amount of still images in After Effects or Premiere Pro, I could definitely use a point in the right direction!
    Exactly what I want can be found at 5:27 of this video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150247563700519&set=vb.120583801339638&type=2&theat er

  • Looking for iPad App for displaying photos via a projector

    I'm looking for an App that will allow me to display photos using a projector yet permit manual advancing through the slides.
    The included Photo app only works with the projector when in slideshow mode. As soon as I try to manually advance a photo the projector output stops.
    I've seen references to Keynote but I'd rather not have to import 'x' number of photos into Keynote to be able to display them. I'm not convinced Keynote will do what I want anyway.
    There's got to be an app out there somewhere that does this. Isn't there?
    Thanks.

    Locking the iPad so that a user can't exit an app isn't possible for any developer to implement, since the developer kit doesn't provide that sort of access to the low-level routines in iOS. The only way to lock into a single app is to use a case/frame that covers the Home button (and turn off the gesture support in the settings in iOS 5).  A number of companies make kiosk mounts for this purpose.
    Regards.

  • Looking for ideas for a: Photo Gallery portlet

    Hey all,
    I'm wondering if anyone out there uses any special code or 3rd party apps, or anything to fancy-up a portlet to display photos?
    For the last few hours I've been working to integrate CoolIris (http://www.cooliris.com) with a Publisher portlet but have run into a snag that I'm having some difficulty debugging. But rather than spinning my wheels on this one solution, I figured I'd reach out to all of you to see how you display event/holiday/etc types of pictures within your portals.
    Ideally I'd love for our users to be able to submit images directly through a Publisher portlet and create something more flashy than just a static image that they have to scroll through.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Geoff

    I'm looking for the same functionality.
    What I'm thinking of doing is to use a document library component for users to upload and manage images. Then use Content Presenter to display the images.
    Problems:
    - Content Presenter doesn't do folders well.
    - default templates don't show images
    - icon view only shows an icon representing the type of content
    Another option is to use the wiki as at http://wiki.oracle.com/photos/albums . Don't know if that can be done yet but cuold be easier for users.

  • Apple TV - No cigar for displaying photo's.

    I am disappointed and frustrated by the new Apple TV facility to display photo's.
    My photo's are stored on my computer in Nikon RAW format (NEF) I don't want to have to convert them to JPEG's just to do a photo session on the TV. I would also end up with two copies of every shot which is a real pain. If google picasa can display raw images why not apple TV and iTunes.
    Also I can understand only having 720p for movies. (1080p/i would need to much broadband bandwidth.) But for displaying pictures which are only coming from a PC or MAC I would really want 1080p to make my photo's really shout at people.

    With the old sync model I'd have to disagree - AppleTV would output to devices up to 1080p, so there was little point having video dimensions much beyond 1920x1080ish (non standard for any DSLR or digicam ) except to accomodate zooming/Ken Burns effects.
    There was also little point sending 10-20MB files to AppleTV's limited storage when a JPEG would suffice.
    With the new streaming model however this changes - itunes should be able to accomnodate RAW file streaming as nothing actually gets stored - it need not send the original RAW only a derivative. Th eonly problem is that for on the fly conversion, many RAW files would choke iTunes in the process, so what it needs is to pre-render the derivative file transparently to the user well in advance of needing to use it.
    Personally I see no point in having true native RAW support on AppleTV.
    AppleTV should really be used to show either the procesed RAW file content or an as shot derivative.
    Assuming RAW display capability would give superior results is wrong.
    The RAW file is the starting point, the digital negative, the derivative processed file is the final output.

  • Ideas for display?

    i have a bunch of old reports that i need to display somehow. we are trying to snazz them up a bit with flex. eventually the format will totally change
    to XML or something like that. However, for now i have what i have and need to do something with it. Here's the general layout:
    3 Lines of header (all kinds of information like page number, report type, date, time, etc.
    5 lines of ID header (information about the specific person Identified for this report, including that person's ID number)
    15-30 lines of report information.
    this repeats for the whole of the report in the same format.
    Page: 1      Customer Report       User: MGolenty
    Date: July 5, 2009               Time: 9:06AM
    Report: Customer                
    ID: 789101112  John Connor  Date of Birth: 11/10/1975
    Address:                              County: Los Angeles
    456789 Main Street
    Los Angeles, CA
    United States
    (a bunch of boring report lines)
    We originally were thinking of altering the existing reports to ad CDATA formatting with html tags to add some functionality. Particularly, we need to make the ID: clickable so that a database query is fired and results are displayed in a window (preferable) or a new browser tab (acceptable). However, as we got into the TextField.htmlText property further and further it dawned on us that htmlText was not made for such 'fancy' functionality.I was hoping that maybe it's functionality had been expanded in Flex 4, but it looks like it has gone untouched (and with good reason)
    My idea is to use a data grid and display different pieces in different components. We could just parse reports into the the datagrid every time they display. That way, we could just fire an event when the ID: is clicked and have a fancy component display the results of the query.
    Anybody have any other thoughts on effective ways to display this type of a report? thanks!

    The report can be a custom MXML component, that way you can create each section however you would like.
    For example, the first header section could be a VBox with labels and a linkbutton if you need the ability to have a link.
    You could also use states to enable collapsible report sections.
    MXML component is the way to go.
    If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

  • What is the best size and file format for displaying photos quickly

    I have a ton of high res files I want to move to an ipad two. I figure iphoto would be the easiest software to use. However what size should I make the files so they are sharp on the screen and load super fast?

    Like I say, it doesn't matter. Import a 26 mb file to iphoto. Import a 2 mb one. Sync with the iPad. The image on the iPad will be about the same.

  • A Few Ideas for a Future Photoshop Project

    Sorry, guys.  Everything is installed and working nicely here.  The dog has not eaten my keyboard, and I have not got any points on my CC License (only because the Photoshop cops haven't caught me yet).  So I thought I'd share this nice idea for a photo manipulation project.  There are few truely orginal ideas out there when it comes to art and expression, but I can't say as I have seen this particular one before.  (Close, but not quite)
    So I give you 88 ways to distort a hotel
    http://victorenrich.com/?post_type=product&paged=1
    A couple of tasters
    I suspect this might have been done with After Effects rather than Photoshop

    When I said "Close, but not quite" in the above post, it was Christophe Huet that came to mind.  I first came across his work some years ago with a series of images that featured homeless down-and-outs sinking into the pathment.  I remember I tried and failed to do the ripples back then.  I do a lot more 3d effects with shading nowadays, so I think I could nail it now.
    He is pretty prolific, so be warned you could spend the next hour scrolling through these.  It's impressive work though, and full of ideas to kick start your own creative juices.

  • Displaying photos on TV w/o AppleTV

    Does anyone have a recommendation for displaying photos on the TV? I don't have AppleTV, but I want to have photos continually running on the TV for a party I'm giving next week. I am willing to hook up my MacBook Pro directly to the TV or to burn the photos to a disc... I just don't think the latter is going to play long enough. Is there a recommended configuration for hooking the computer directly to the TV?

    AppleNovice
    A slideshow running continuously would seem to be the best answer. As to hooking your machine to the T.V. best to post on the forum for your specific machine.

  • XML to display photos - Help!

    Please help... I would like to use an XLS document to display
    XML data, but I only want one record displayed at a time. I want to
    use a button to refresh the page with the next (or previous)
    record. This is for displaying photos and accompaning text. Can I
    have a tag that refers to the next record? or do I need to write a
    script? Or is there another approach that would achieve this
    result?
    Here is a sample of my XML file:
    <bphotos>
    <photo photoid="1">
    <title>B College </title>
    <jpgfile>images/5602.jpg</jpgfile>
    <description>B Convent as it was, minus the Business
    College!</description>
    <next></next>
    </photo>
    <photo photoid="2">
    <title>The Junior School</title>
    <jpgfile>images/5603.jpg</jpgfile>
    <description>ggg</description>
    <next></next>
    </photo>
    </bphotos>
    Thanks

    It is all in that tutorial. So if you don't understand it, read it again. Fiddle around with the code there and see what it does. And also, try to get the "using SAX" requirement removed and see if "using XSLT" is any easier.

  • HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Here are the steps for AirPlay:
    Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
    On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home  Button to view your recently-used apps.
    Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the  icon.
    Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
    Tap the  icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
    Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
    Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
    Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
    When you do that you will see an Orange screen
    Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

  • Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow. Thumbnails all OK etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
    When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database?  Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
    Those are the two options to use.
    Here's another fix you can try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method.
