Is there a filter for "missing photos"?

Can you search for missing photos from within a folder? I know there's the command that says "find all missing photos" but that delivers results for the entire catalog. I'd like to see the missing photos from just one folder and wonder if that's possible.

Is there a way to show, in that folder, just the missing files.
Yes.
Approach #1:
1. Find all missing photos - they will be rounded up into a collection, which will become the active source.
2. Filter images to confine to those in folder of interest.
Note: you will need to specify folder of interest, since it won't automatically detect a selected folder...
Approach #2:
1. Find all missing photos, and drag into a regular collection, so collection name can be used in a filter/smart-collection.
2. Select folder, and filter images to confine to those also in the missing photos collection.
Note: unfortunately, folder and collection names are only available in smart collections, not lib filters.
Even so, this sort of thing was super-easy in Lr4-, because selecting a "filtering" smart collection and a folder narrowed (filtered) the photo set. Adobe screwed up Lr5 by removing the ability to use smart collections as folder filters - now multiple photo-source selections can only widen the photo set (you get all photos from both sources). - thus making this sort of thing harder and less straight-forward.
Still, there are ways...
Here is an example using approach #1 and text-meta plugin:
Note: it's the "all missing photos" collection being filtered by folder path.
But now that I've done all this work, why not just select all missing photos and remove them from the catalog? i.e. why do you need to do it folder by folder?
Hint: to remove from catalog whilst viewing collection, use splat-delete:
* Windows: Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Delete
* Mac: Cmd-Option-Shift-Delete

Is there an ORGANIZER for my photos which I can seperatly store on an external harddrive?

Is there an ORGANIZER for my photos which I can separately store on an external hard drive?
? portable photo organizer

Okay, this is it. I only need the organizer and catalogue (as a kind of archive) separately. I do not want to work with and shop the pictures. Just want to store and find the pics.
I hope you understand what is in the catalog. Pardon me if you already know, but other readers might be misled by this discussion.
A catalog is just like the catalog booklet which holds all the information about the paintings in a museum. A list of all the paintings, their location in the museum, their size, their authors and some history. Plus small images (thumbnails) to show the image and many indexes, by title, author or painting type.
The catalog does not contain the images, only useful information to find paintings and know what is useful about them.
The catalog can be moved: you can take it at home with you. The informations are still valid when you move the catalog.
With the organizer (it's the same with Ligthtroom), you can move or copy the catalog, which is a folder containing the database and associated files and subfolders.
To use the Elements catalog outside of your main computer, you need another computer with a copy of the same Elements program. The catalog itself on an external drive is just a kind of backup, but it can't be read. So you can store a copy on an external drive, but to open the catalog you need Elements. Imagine you plug in the catalog external drive from another computer. Without a copy of the picture files, only the information and thumbnails can be seen. You can do various organization tasks like adding tags, creating albums, rating, adding notes.
If that is what you want to do and you can plug in the external drive on another computer with Elements, that's fine (you can have two copies of Elements 'signed in' at the same time).

HT4890 Is there a substitute for MobileMe Photo & video galleries...online?

Does anyone know if there is a substitute for MobileMe Photo & Video Galleries, that have been available online for me for the last 5 years to store and send via email at anytime to anyone?

Apple evidently took a deliberate decision not to provide general file storage in the manner of iDisk and there is no suggestion that they intend ever to restore it. There are plenty of other solutions - this page examines some options:
http://rfwilmut.net/missing3
As to PhotoStream, you can share selected pictures in it using iOS6, and iPhoto for iOS5 includes the facility to publish a 'Photo Journal' picture gallery to web pages hosted on iCloud. This facility is not available on Macs. Apple have provided a sample album here.

Is there a fix for grainy photos in Illustrator?

I don't have Photoshop so I'm left to try and solve this problem with Illustrator. Are there any tricks with this software to help disguise grainy photos? They seem to have gotten worse once I imported them into AI and even worse after that once I reduce their size. I found that adding a crosshatch filter effect actually doesnt do a bad job, but does anyone know of any better tricks for this? Or is it only Photoshop that does the job...

You cannot edit pixel images in Illustrator.
That's rather overstated. You can apply Photoshop Effects in Illustrator, rasterize ojects, and create raster-based effects; all of which is, in fact, editing pixel images in Illustrator.
Are there any tricks with this software to help disguise grainy photos?
Generally speaking, reducing grain is a matter of blurring (averaging color values). Smart Blur is one of the Photoshop filters installed with Illustrator. Disguising grain would be a matter of special effects, and there are dozens of Photoshop filters included with Illustrator for that. You've already tried one: Crosshatch. But beyond just telling you to try them, no one can advise you without seeing the image.
They seem to have gotten worse once I imported them into AI and even worse after that once I reduce their size.
Simply importing a raster image into Illustrator does not degrade it. The on-screen display of the image is poorer than in a proper image editing program when not zoomed/scaled to 1:1. But that doesn't reflect the actual quality of the image. And that's partly why the various raster filter dialogs provide their own previews.
Or is it only Photoshop that does the job...
If you're going to do much at all with raster images, you need at least a basic raster imaging program. Illustrator can't even properly crop a raster image. But Photoshop is certainly not the only program that "does the job." Corel PhotoPaint is a quite capable alternative to Photoshop, and Corel Graphics Studio (Draw, PhotoPaint, more) can be had as a competitive side-grade for much less than Adobe's bundles. Xara Designer Pro is a very versatile illustration program that can do much more image editing than Illustrator, and can be had for significantly less than the price of Illustrator alone. And as someone has already pointed out, there are even open-source image editors that you can download for free.

How do I filter for untouched photos?

Is there a way to find all photos in my catalog that I haven't touched up?
My catalog has tens of thousands of photos. I've already rated/marked the ones I like, but I haven't touched them all up. Going through each one to check if it's already been touched up would take too long.
Thanks

There are a variety of ways to isolate photos without any (or without "sufficient") editing.
Some require a plugin, some don't.
Another easy option for locating unedited photos (which does not require a plugin):
Sort according to edit count.
All those you've never edited will be at the top (or bottom, if it's flipped), followed by those you've only edited once...
Note: an edit is counted for metadata edits too, still..

Are there any apps for managing photos other than iphoto

I do not find iphoto to be a particularly intuitive or user friendly app to manage photos with. Are there any other options?

What is your complaint about iPhoto? What are you having problems with? Have you perused the tutorials on iPhoto:
Apple - iPhoto for Mac
Mac Apps - iPhoto - Apple Support
What features do you want in a photo management applications. There are many, many image management apps for Mac available:
Lightroom
Aperture
IMatch 5
Stock Keeper
Photo Explorer
Shoebox Express
Shoebox Pro
Picasa
JetPhoto Studio
myPhotos
photo 1.5.1
Photo Supreme
MediaDex
EzyPic Photo Organizer
Daminion
Photonator
iMatch
uAlbum
All have different features so you'll need to determine what's important to you and do some research. I don't think any are as easy to use as iPhoto, particularly with a Mac.

HT1688 Is there an app for missed call reminder?

Trying to find out if there is an app or somewhere you can turn on a reminder if you have missed a call.

There is nothing that will do what you want in iTunes and probably never will be.

Is there a filter for emails

I am receiving around 150 junk emails on my iphone...how do i stop it?

I just tested the iCloud "rules" feature and yes, I can set up a rule in iCloud's Mail to intercept some mail and send it to a folder, and it works.
Here's the hitch, though. iCloud has had major problems with its push implementation, and one hitch is that when mail is sent to a folder, it is not pushed to the iPhone. It is pushed to the Mail client on the Mac, but not to Mail on the iPhone. You have to go to the folder manually on the iPhone and open it, and then it updates and shows whatever was sent. For Junk Mail that might actually be just fine, but for other mail sorting it is aggravating.

Is there a filter for a border that looks 'jagged'

I'm looking to pull out a piece of text from the body of a news story (actually, I'll re-create the text). I want to put one of those "ripped" looking jagged borders around it so it looks like it was ripped out of the story. Kay

Go to your local uhaul place ask them for 1 sheet of that blank newsprint they sell for wrapping breakables when you move. Make some artsy tears. Scan the torn piece. Take it into photoshop, remove everything that isn't the paper, mexport as a png file to keep the alpha, bring into fcp, add type.

Finding missing photos when drive letter has changed

I have over 30,000 missing photos because LR only recognizes drive letters not names. All my drives have a master "Image" directory with folders and subfolders. Going to the LR online directory with name change and right clicking images and finding folder location does not work. LR does not recognize folders or subfolders in the drive with a name change. Usually none of the folder names are high lighted. By going to the "Missing Photographs" in the catalog menu and searching by file name I can find individual files but with over 30k missing files, this approach is not practical. I have an HP computer with Windows 7 and LR 5.7. How do I find the photos?

I think the most straightforward way to sort this out is:
1. Plug in all of your external drives. From the screen shots, it looks like you have at most 5 external drives of interest, 2 that are currently online and 3 that are disconnected. (I'm not counting the one external drive letter that has just one photo on it.) How many external drives do you actually have?
2. If you don't have enough USB ports, order a $12 USB hub from Amazon.
3. Make sure the entire folder hierarchy for each drive is showing in the Folders pane as described here. When you're done, each drive in the Folders pane should have a top-level folder labeled with a drive letter (as with your F: drive in the screenshot above).
4. Expand the entire folder hierarchy on each drive in the Folders pane by clicking the arrows to the left of the folder.
5. For each drive, find one or more folders in its hierarchy that are closest to the top that have a "?" on them. It may be the root folder labeled with the drive letter (e.g. "F:"), or it may be folders below the root folder.   For each such folder with a "?", right-click it and select Find Missing Folder. That folder should be somewhere on one of the drives. Use Windows File Explorer to help find where it is.
6. When you're done with step 5, you should have located all missing folders and told LR where they are currently located. But you may have missed some.   Do Library > Find All Missing Photos.
7. Pick a photo from step 6. Right-click it and do Go To Folder In Library. If the folder in the Folder pane is marked with a "?", right-click it and do Find Missing Folder.   Otherwise, click the "!" on the photo and then click Locate. Use Windows File Explorer to help find the missing photo by filename, if necessary. Repeat until there are no more missing photos.
8. Going forward, try to keep all your external drives connected. To minimize drive-letter confusion in the future, rename the drive letters of the existing external drives to start from the end of the alphabet, changing each drive letter as described here.   When you change a drive letter, you'll need to re-locate its root folder as described in steps 3-5.   (Windows tends to use drive letters from C onward.)

Searching library by missing photos

I would like to be able to search my entire library for missing photos and be able to narrow the search by date, type, etc, which I can already do. The only way I can think of to find missing photos besides looking at each one to see if there is a question mark is to rename them or export them. Then lightroom will bring up a list of missing photos that cannot be renamed, exportorted, etc. What would also be nice is if the text in that list of missing photos could be selectable so i could copy the file names and paste them to my notepad so i can proceed to search for them.
Im a professional photographer and these features would be really helpful.
Thank you.

I may be misunderstanding what you are wanting to do, but the find missing photos command from the library menu will find all missing photos in the entire catalog.

What are the options for viewing photos with Apple TV 2?

I have an old Apple TV, and load the family photos on the Apple TV itself. On the Apple TV 2, I know you can connect to MobileMe and Flickr.
Aside from MobileMe and Flickr, are there other options for viewing photos on the new Apple TV? Can you stream them from a Mac, or can you stream them from an iPhone/iPad?
If so, how is this initiated from the Apple TV, Mac, or iPhone/iPad?

You can stream from a Mac via itunes selection (iPhoto events or a folder) - it has 8GB of solid state temporary storage, but quite how things are cached/flushed from here is a bit of a mystery - you cannot say designate 2GB to hold photos or prioritise photos over other material.
Even rentals seem to flush if you've watched them and they haven't expired - relative fell asleep during a rental yesterday so i suggested she watched it today and it downloaded from scratch again, and the AppleTV hadn't had anything but music playing in the interim. Silly this really. There's a post on another section where someone used 17GB of their data allowance to watch a HD movie as it kept reloading!
Yes you can stream photos from iPod/iPad using Airplay, but to be honest i don't think ATV2 offers that much over ATV1 for photos (yet anyway), and in some ways it's inferior.
ATV2 is far more responsive/uses less power etc but I'm not convinced you get anything groundbeaking unless you have a lot of guests who could use it via Airplay from their iphones (and with ipads currently without cameras, photos would have to come from somewhere else in the first place).

Is there a way to filter for only the missing files in a catalog folder or collection?

I don't think there is anything more to be said on this one.

If you go to the catalog tab and choose all photographs and then run the menu command you will see the number of missing photos in the catalog (image below)
You will still need to re-connect them. But if you have moved an entire folder the folder will have a question mark against the name. You can right-click on the folder name and choose Update Folder Location. Then navigate to where you put the folder and LR will update the links for all the images in that folder.
See the link below for further information.

I have lupus and am extremely photo sensitive. I have a filter on my laptop screen that blocks out 99% of UVA and UVB rays (otherwise I have very bad flareups). Does anyone know if there is a similar filter for the iPad?
