Looking for pictures...

Recently my MB when coming out of "sleep", shows the message "looking for pictures" which remains in view for a couple of seconds and then disappears. While its not a big deal, it is a trifle annoying. Anyone know what might be causing this message to appear.

This sounds like it may be the screen saver you have selected (one that may display photos). Sometimes your display may be set to blank out before the screen saver kicks in so you won't see the message when it comes up... then if your machine goes to sleep... when you wake it, you'll see the message. If you select a different screen saver do you still get the message?

Screensaver on Second Monitor says "Looking for pictures..."

My MBP just came back from getting a new logic board due to the video card packing it in. Now it won't show any pictures on my 2nd monitor with the screensaver. Either I disable the 2nd monitor and it's black, or it says "looking for pictures..." while the pictures appear on the MBP screen only. It used to run both screens with screensaver and was brilliant... And in the screensaver preferences, the test works fine. Weird...
HELP! (please)

Workaround: Create an alias of the photos folder in the iPhoto library. Some users have had success by creating an alias of the "originals" folder that's inside the iPhoto library. To do this, locate the iPhoto library (usually in the "Pictures" folder), and right click on it and select "Show Package Contents". Then select "originals" folder and create an alias for it and move the alias to another location outside of the library. After this, open the "Screen Saver" system preferences and select "Choose Folder" from the "Screen Savers" list, selecting the alias as the pictures folder. NOTE: This can also be done with a subfolder within the "originals" or any other folder of pictures within the iPhoto library.

Looking for pictures of Apeture Books to be used as samples

Anyone know where I can find pictures of what the end result of an Aperture Book looks like so I can show it to a Client?
If I show the Client the book in Aperture, it is difficult for them to visualise what the final book will look like.
Any help here???
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I did know about this facility to preview the book before buying already. What I'm looking for is some kind of picture of what the final book actually looks like, something I can show a Client and say "it will look like this".
Do you know of anywhere I can see a jpeg or some equivalent of the final results?
A deep Google search has revealed nothing...
Thanks,
Chris

Looking for "Picture Frame" Plugin for CS5 64-bit

Hello! I went to slap a plain ol' picture frame on a photo image in CS5. The kind of frame that looks like those you have hanging on your walls. Not acid etched edges or canvas texture overlays, etc. I found that nothing I had would do what i wanted. I am looking for something like the old Extensis Photoframe or Alien Skin SPLAT! The onOne PhotoFrame 4.5 Free version doesn't have what the old Extenses version had. Has anyone looked inside onOne PhotoFrame 4.5 Standard? I'd like to konw before I cough up $150 for the plugin.
Are there other plugins that will put an ordinary looking mitered picture frame on an image in CS5 64-bit?
Thanks, - Dave

Hello John! Thanks- I didn't know those actions were there. I'm working with big files though and the frames come out kind of skinny. I'm sure I could edit that actions but I'm looking more for a slap-it-on-and-forget-it solution. The link to Exchasnge sure does have some amazing stuff. I'm glad to know of the resource. The search results were pretty dated though, so I'm not sure which will work with Win64 + PS64 bit.
I guess a SPLAT! or Extenses PhotoFrame replacement doesn't come to mind out there? I found sometning that is along the lines of what I'm looking for:
http://www.humansoftware.com/pages1200/ClassicFrame/gallery_v1/clasfram9.html
These are a bit more fancy than I had in mind and are take it or leave it, where Splat! and the old PhotoFrame were tweakable.
I'll keep on looking. Anyone else jump in if a light bulb goes off.

What does Looking For pictures mean in start up?

Can anyone help me? After using my computer this morning (it worked) I came back to it and it was frozen with a "looking for o
Pictures" note in the middle of the screen with a beach ball. Ack! I tried restarting, force quit etc and get the same thing. Now all that will come up is the iMac apple screensaver. when I use the f3 -key I can see that safari is working and updating but if I move the mouse the screen goes blue. What in the worl is going on?

Now when in safe mode, try to figure out which settings are causing the bad screensaver.. My guess is that your screensaver in set to an iphoto event which is missing, corrupt,... First try with changing to a standard screensaver. Glad I could help

Looking for picture frame software/plug-in

I am looking for software or a plug-in that will apply a frame and matting to my image. The frame and matting must conform to my image dimensions without distorting the frame itself (e.g. the top and bottom of the frame become narrower than the sides of the frame.
Thanks for any guidance!
Michael

You cam create mats and frames easily with Photoshop actions. You may want to look ate my Image Visualization Package http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/Examples

Screensaver pref hangs 'looking for photos'

I have a large iPhoto library of some 30000 images, and within that, smart albums of pictures taken for each year in the past. I set my screesaver to display photos from 2005. Now, often, but not always, after the standard five minutes of inactivity, my screen goes black and the legend 'looking for pictures (or photos)' is displayed, and there it sits forever. I have to force shut down and restart the iMac in order to get out of this.
What is wrong, and can I avoid this in the future?

Have you tried using the app iPhoto Library Manager (VersionTracker.com)?
You may want to post your question in the iPhoto forum. I've asked questions there that never stumped a user named Terence Devlin.

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a dell computer at home that has clip art available on it for putting pictures into documents. Do I need to install an APP to get something similar to clip art?

I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but am looking for confirmation. I have a desktop computer at home that has clip art loaded onto it. I recently got an iPad and am looking for something similar. I assume I need to get an APP for it, and if that is correct, does anyone have one that they like?

Sort of. There is an app called art shop that gives you a place to park clip art. But I don't think you really need it.
If you have a collection of clip art you want available, move it to the camera roll on your pad/ phone, then copy paste into your document the clip you want.
You can get them into the camaera roll by putting them in a single event in your picture library and syncing them over, or e mail them to your self, and save to the camera roll, or send them to drop box, and bring them down that way.
The challenge is getting them all in one place to make it easy for you to find, which is why syncing might be the best approach in the long run.
As near as I can tell there is not a ready made clip art collection in app format laying around.

I am looking for an app that will allow me to change the times on my desktop pictures

I am wanting an app that will allow me more choices in changing the "change time" of my desktop pictures. 5 seconds in too fast, one minute longer than i want. I am looking for something that will give me a 10-15 second time.
Any suggestions?

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

Fonts for Interstate highways in Maps look like picture symbols.

Mavericks 10.9.4. Using FontAgentPro.
Is there a font that has to be activated? Or even a conflicting font that has to be deactivated like in Chrome?
Thanx.

Validate your fonts using Font Book.
How to use Font Book to validate fonts
1. Open Font Book in your Applications folder.
2. Select All Fonts.
3. Now click in the list of fonts and select all (Edit > Select All).
4. Under File in the Menu bar, select Validate Fonts.
5. Duplicate fonts will be marked with either the yellow badge or a black dot.
6. Select to remove or delete duplicates.*
7. Delete font caches (how to)
8. Restart your computer
* Step 6 – remove or delete duplicates is where the tricky part comes in. You can select to let Font Book disable or remove duplicates, but I’ve found that it removes the one you have not been using rather than selecting the best option. See Font Management in OS X, by Kurt Lang, for more info on fonts.
