Key Photo Attributes?

I have a picture in a Gallery folder created by combining two other photos. The rest of the pictures are photos which have been cropped or resized.
When I try to set the composite picture as the key photo the choice is grayed out. The other pictures appear to be OK as possible key photo choices.
What attribute(s) make a photo eligible or NOT for use as a key photo? Why should a photo which is of the same file type and about the same size not be eligible as a key photo choice?
Jerry

Thanks, but Nope!
At first I thought this answer was, at least, partly correct. Then I remembered I had created the image by combining two different images (Blue Angels in blue sky and a sky with puffy white clouds) in Photoshop. I then imported it into iPhoto. When I tried to make it a key photo I saw that *Make Key Photo* was grayed out.
I then learned I could set an image as the *top of the pile* by dragging it to the small icon in the upper left of the Gallery page. In that way it works, but still would like to know why it's grayed out.

  • Key figure Attributes not working

    Hi ALL,
    We have an isuue with one of our Planning book. Key figures which are supposed to be open for editing are  showing as output only and key figures which are for output only are showing as open for editing.
    I went to design mode to tried to change in manually , if I chane one row attribute all rows are getting changed.
    I found a macro which assigns Key figure attributes which I tried to activate but still not working. We are using SAP SCM 4.1 Version.
    Can any advice on this?
    Sivarama

    Thanks Problem is now solved. Looks like some has made changes in the design and there are macros which are working and as you said they might be conflicting. I changed the design which was working weired yesterday when I tried to cande one row attribute and all rows are getting applied, this worked fine today. And I deactivated the macro which is working on some row attributes and activated again.
    I am not very clear what went right but working.

  • Iphoto - key photo won't set for an event on my iPad

    I have placed my photos into "Events".  I have assigned a "key photo" to my events.  For some reason some key photos will show up as the key photo in iPhoto but when I sync with iTunes the key photo isn't the one I assigned or want on my iPad.  First I rebooted my Mac and my iPad and I even changed almost all the key photos successfully but a select few refuse to change on my iPad after being synced. 
    The key photo for one of the events WAS NEVER set as a key photo. 
    Very frustrated with my Mac products lately. 
    Thank you,

    One for the iPad forum, I think. iPhoto for Mac has no control over what happens on the iPad.

  • How do I change the key photo of a Photo Journal created in iPhoto for iOS?

    Is there a way to choose this photo? It seems to default to the first photo in the event used to create the journal, not even first photo on first page.

    If you edit the journal, select the picture you want to use, choose "Edit" and then select the settings icon (the gear wheel) you can choose to select this picture as the "Key Photo".

  • No more key photos in "Photos" view?

    After upgrading, I can no longer see key photos in "Photos" view. Is this a setting that I can change, or did iPhoto '11 drop this feature?

    It appears that that is a change in '11

  • Populate key figure attributes values for material & location in inventory

    Hi all,
    We have a Inventory Infocube. the dimensions of the inventory infocube contains material, location and material-location and also the time dimension with calday, week and month. The different key figures in the infocube are Unrestricted Stock Balances, Unrestricted Stock Receipts, Unrestricted Stock Issues, QI Stock Balances, QI Stock Issues, QI Stock Reciepts, Blocked Stock Balances, Blocked Stock Receipts, Blocked Stock Issues. The following is the definition for master data objects
    Material Master - ATTRIBUTES :- Business Unit, Manufacturing Plant, Base to Case Conversion Factor(key figure attribute)
    Location Master - ATTRIBUTES:- City, State, Country, Location Type
    Material Location master - ATTRIBUTES:- Material, Location, MRP Controller, Source Location, Standard Cost(key figure attribute)
    We have a report with material, location, calender day and with all the stock balances keyfigures. also in the report we have the key figure attributes of material master and material location (like standard cost and base to case conversion). We have defined a formula variable on these attribute key figures with replacement path.
    The problem is none of the records are getting populated with the standard cost and base to case conversion.
    We are NOT doing any conversion at the report level.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Vijay

    There could be few possibility:
    1. The variable you are inputting for standard cost and base to case conversion may not have any values in the master data.
    2. See the master data table for Material and location. Note down those materails and location for which there are values for standard cost and base to case conversion. Now, run the reports for these materials
    and location.
    Btw, have made standard cost and base to case conversion as nav attributes. Plz make them nav attributes and see.
    Thanks...

  • Had to restore iPhoto library from external hard drive.  Key Photos Blank!

    Photos seem to be there, but the key photos are either blank or all have the same one photo.  How can I restore the key photo setting to automatically use the first photo in each group?
    Is there anything else I need to do to formalize this process and get iphoto running normally again?
    Thanks!

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails - it can take three or four goes to work.

  • In my events the key photos no longer show up and the picture amount reads 0, but the pictures are still there when I click on that event. Why does the amount read 0?

    In some of my events in iphoto no pictures show up in the key photos. In others they do. I just upoaded some and no problem. I noticed that in the lower right corner of each event with no key photo the photo amount reads zero. I click on that event and all of the photos do show up. Does anyone know why this is  happening, or have come across this before? Thanks, Daryl

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

  • In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo.  At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

    In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • Choose key photo for album

    Dear Common Wisdom:
    I have created a web site of photo galleries with an index page at http://www.byzantineaegina.org
    How can I choose a key photo to represent each gallery on the first page?
    Thanks!
    CJ

    you can set key image for albums page, as long as the image is one of the first of 50 images in the album (aka photos page) and you need to know how iweb widgets work.
    have a look: http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/revolving/keyImageAlbums/keyImageAlbums.html
    notice the displayed image is the 4th image in the album, not the first image.

  • .Mac Web Gallery - How to change key photo and order or galleries?

    How can I choose which photo is the key photo for each .Mac web gallery? Also, how can I re-arrange the order of the web galleries?

    I would really love to see a solution for this too ! Unfortunately I think apple just didn't implement it in Aperture. My .Mac web gallery is about events in my life and it doesn't make any sense to have it sorted alphabetically...
    Not being able to simply set a key photo is really annoying too.
    The worst is that these two functions are available in iPhoto. All they had to do was copy and paste...
    Apple are you listening ?

  • MobileMe Gallery from A3 Does not Display Key Photo

    When I post from Aperture 3 to MobileMe, the Gallery preview pic does not display the key photo anymore. Skimming still works, but the preview pic as seen in the gallery is not displayed. Instead of the preview picture, an icon is displayed that is gray with two stacked pictures.
    If I go to me.com and manage the gallery from there, I do see a preview picture but not the key photo. Instead, I see the first photo from the project.
    In Aperture 2, I did not see these behaviors.
    Anyone else seeing this problem?

    Yes, I noticed this too.
    I can skim the gallery (like an event) but then it just gives a generic thumbnail as the key photo.

  • Key photo image in Album View too small

    I imported a small Aperture Library into Photos to test things out. One thing I notice is that in Album View, the key photo for a folder is very small.
    Here is an example:
    I have tried making another photo the Key Photo, and switching back. They are always small. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I don't consider this a feature request. In the default Photos library, the key photo in Album view fills the whole square. But for a library that was created from an Aperture library, the key photo does not fill the whole square.
    Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to make the key photo larger?

  • Can I change Web Gallery "Key Photos"?

    In the album overview, I have not been able to figure out how the album chooses the "Key Photo" that represents the album.
    I haven't experimented fully, but it seems that a Key Photo from an Event made into an album follows to the Web Album, but I have several albums and smart albums I also need galleries of.

    Oops, there it is. "Make Key Photo" from the "Events" menu.

  • IPhoto calls it "key photo", equivalent in iMovie?

    Hello!
    I'm wasting a lot of time searching for the right keyword for what I'm trying to do, ack! Please help!
    My video starts with the orange linen background and then the titles swoop in.
    When I export the video the image I see in Finder is this blank background.
    In iPhoto, you can skim pictures the square for each event and pick a "key photo" to represent the event. I thought there was a similar feature in iMovie.
    I want to skim to the frame I want to show when the file is selected in Finder, (and also the static frame that shows in a web site or YT until user clicks the Play icon) tell iMovie to make that the representative frame, and be done with it.
    I have searched and searched for various keywords in help, online, and Apple support with no luck.
    What is this feature called and how to make it happen? Anyone?
    Thanks!

    Hello heinz58,
    You may need to rebuild your iPhoto Library (by holding CMD + Option while opening iPhoto) to clear up potential inconsistencies in your library's database.
