Key Photo in Albums

Anyone figure out how to set the key photo when using Albums in iWeb? It appears to be very similar to the iPhoto web gallery, however I can not seem to figure out how to do it.

The first photo in the photo gallery is the key photo.
For the person that had the freeze up scrolling: you can turn of the effects and just have one photo show up as the album thumbnail.
I spent about 5 hours working in iWeb '08 replacing my home grown "album" type pages with Apple's new version. I have need for 8 album pages which theh have 6 to 8 photogalleries linked to them. I was in the process of moving the photos I wanted to be the key photo into the first slot when I saved out the file. The next day when I opened my file all of the album pages showed the thumbnails for a second or so and then they turn black. Some of the photos pages and blog pages are missing their photos as well. I am not happy. Fortunately I do have a back up Domain and a copy of iWeb '06 on another machine. But I don't appreciate working away for 5 hours, saving and then having nothing to show for it.

  • 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.

  • How to change key photo in album ios8

    IIn photos on my iPhone 6 the key photo has changed from the first photo to a random photo. Does anyone know how to fix this

  • 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?

  • Photos previously shared to CD not importing with Event names or Key Photo??

    I have a DVD that was Burned from the iPhoto '11 Share menu. When attempting to import an Event to an existing iPhoto Library, the images import but the Event Name is lost along with the Key Photo. Albums are not maintained either. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Yes, I get the same thing.  The Event titles are lost are are the keywords. I did retain the key photo. My events are untitled.
    Be sure to send a bug report to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Key photos in photo app are changed to the first photo in album in iOS 5

    why did apple changed the key photos in photo app on iOS 5??? I mean it was custom on iOS 4 but now it is the first photo in your album??? Is it possible to fix this???

    When do my photos upload to Photo Stream?
    When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream.
    I copied that from this website
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Notice it states all NEW photos. But like I said, I'm not that sure about it. I don't use Photo Stream, just based on what I am reading.
    I could be misinterpreting what this means.

  • Setting key photo for iWeb photo album

    This one's confusing me a little. I'm trying to select a key photo for my album in iWeb, but it keeps defaulting to the first photo in the album. I would've thought it would be similar to selecting a key photo for an event in iPhoto (i.e. just scrolling to the desired photo and hitting the space bar), but no go. Just wondering if anybody has figured out how to do it. Thanks

    I think the iWeb programmers thought we would be excited enough by the mouse over feature of the albums.
    You could send them feedback suggesting this feature for a future update as others have asked the same question.

  • IPhone 4 album display photo is not the "KEY" photo from Aperture

    Aperture sets a "KEY" photo to best describe the contents of an album of many photos. iPhone 4 ignores this key photo and uses a random, often obscure photo to display. How can I correct this?

    Solved it.
    In Aperture I selected all of my photos, and then from the menu selected Photos > Update Previews.
    Voila.

  • Showing only key photo from events within an album using iphoto 11

    I'm using iphoto 11 and want to show only the key photos from events in an album. I don't want to see every photo from every event in the album, I only want to view the key photos from each event in the album. When I drag the event into the album every photo from each event is shown in the album.
    I do have some events in an album with only the key photo showing but can't get all the events to display this way in the album. Any suggestions?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Select key photo for iOS albums synced with iPhoto on Mac

    In iOS 7, if a user was syncing photos from iPhoto on a Mac to an iOS device, it was possible to choose what key photo would be displayed for each synced album in the Photos app on the iOS device.  In iOS 8, this seems to have been removed, and when syncing, a random photo is now selected for each album instead, which doesn't seem possible to change.
    Has anyone been able to find a solution/workaround to this?
    I'm guessing/hoping control will be restored to the user when the new Photos app is released for Mac OS X Yosemite, but any feedback will be useful.
    Thank you.

    Same issue. Ever since upgrading to iPhoto on my retina MBP to 9.4.2. Problem seen with BOTH my iPhone 5 on iOS 6.0.1 AND iPhone 4S on 5.1.1, so not an iOS issue. For me, it impacts both albums and events. In fact, sometimes you can't even see the event under iTunes->device->photo tab, until you exit iPhoto & iTunes and restart both with phone plugged in. There is a workaround for the album's mis-order: by manually sorting photos through dragging a photo to a new location within the album and then placing it back. However, this doesn't work for mis-ordered photos under events.  Right now, I just have to live with it....  I have even tried removing all photos, deleting iPod photo cache, and starting anew. Even 1 event with 30 photos have the same problem.....
    Really annoying as I like to see my event photos sorted by date.
    Somehow, such syncing problems always seem to occur EVERYTIME there's an iPhoto upgrade. Are apple's departments so siloed? Do they not work with one another to test a software before releasing it?
    Apple, please investigate and fix the issue ASAP!

  • Lost all photos and albums in iPhoto version 9.4.3

    Hi all, I'm currently using iPhoto version 9.4.3.
    Didn't do anything out of the norm but lost all my imported photos from my iPhone that I've painstakingly put into albums.
    Only thing I did differently was shutting down my laptop cos I was catching a plane. After restarting my laptop and iPhoto, I realised all photos and albums were gone.
    Read solutions abt rebuilding libraries but didn't work.
    HELP! Not sure what to do next, so anything suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • 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.

  • How to set the Key Photo in .Mac Web Gallery ?

    Has anyone managed to set the key photo in a .Mac Web Gallery album ? The key photo is the photo used on the main page of the Web Gallery to illustrate the event.
    In iPhoto, all you do is select in the left column a published .Mac Web Gallery, right-click on the photo you want to set as the key photo, and select "set as key photo".
    In aperture, you can do the same in a project, but this will only set the key photo for your "all projects" view. This key photo is not used when exporting the project to .mac web gallery.
    In all the web galleries I export from Aperture, the first picture is used as the key photo, it's really a problem. Any solution ?

    There is a small "Header Bar" if you will in iPhoto, you can drag the photo you want to that header bar and I think that accomplishes what you want if I understand what you mean by Key Photo (the photo that shows up in e-mail if you forward the gallery to others). My wife and I stumbled on that solution as we were trying to figure it out. Actually I think wife gets the credit, she had the mouse in her hand when it happened .

  • Where are my photos and albums?

    Hello,
    I had over 1200 photos in IPhoto and they’re all gone! When I opened IPhoto, it looked like it had never been used and there are no photos are in the trash bin.
    This is what happened, I was deleting a few things in HP Gallery trying to clean things up and I had to leave my home to do an errand. When I got back and opened IPhoto, all of the photos and albums were gone.
    Luckily, I have a back up file with all the photos, but I no longer have any of the albums. Here are the files I believe I deleted from HP Gallery: Library.IPhoto, Thumb 32.data, Thumb64.data, and ThumbJPG.data. Do any of these files have anything to do with the missing photos and albums? If so, can I restore IPhoto with the albums?
    I have spent hundreds on hours scanning family photos and creating albums in IPhoto to give to family members. The thought of sorting through 1200 plus photos, trying to recreate these family albums is depressing. What could of happened?
    All comments appreciated!!!

    Hi don,
    You run into problems when you have another program accessing iPhoto's important files.
    The Library.iPhoto contains all your album info plus much more. The Thumb files can be recreated on a rebuild. If you trashed the first file, then no you cannot get your album info back.
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    You will have to create a new library by following the next directions:
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and choose it.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • Key photo missing after iPhoto froze

    My iphoto froze while I was organizing photos.  I had to force quit.  When I opened it back up about 10 key photos were missing and I couldn't get them to show up.

    You could try this:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    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
    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.
