Looking for specific photo content

I have nearly 2000 photos in iPhoto v5.0.4 (263).
I want to identify the small number of those which contain pictures of a specific person - is there any way that I can quickly flick through each picture so that, having identified my target in one, I can easily drag that into a new album? Picture individual descriptions are of no help to me for this exercise.
The only way I can see is to double click on each one, examine it, and then close it and open the next one and so on ad nauseam! A slide show would present them all in sequence, but I can't see how to "capture" specific slides and get them into a new Album.
Is there a way, or am I condemned to days of increasing RSI as I open and examine each photo in turn?
Thanks in advance.

Make the thumbnails larger: use the slider at the bottom right of the iPhoto Window.
Regards
TD

  • Looking for a photo app...

    I'm going on a trip and I am looking for a photo app where I can take a picture and upload it to the web from my phone so my friends can view the pictures on a map.
    Does an app like this exist?

    I believe this may do what you want:

    and maybe this:

    other possibilities can be found by typing "iphone geo tag upload" into Google.

  • 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 ?

  • How do I create a pulp fiction look for my photo

    I've been looking for a good tutorial to create a pulp fiction look for my photos. See the work of artist Thomas Allen who uses real pulp fiction books as an example. How can I recreate the look using Photoshop? I have CS3. What filters or steps should I take? Can someone point me to a good reference? See example below. Many thanks for your help. I haven't found anything yet.

    Hi!
    Do you want to recreate the look of the covers of pulp fiction books like the ones at http://www.flickr.com/photos/hangfirebooks/collections/72157601663657251/ ? For example:
    If so, there's a lot to consider beyond Photoshop treatments: an appropriate illustration, the type, etc. The tutorial "Creating a Retro Sci Fi Poster" covers all of that plus Photoshop effects. Beware that it's very detailed how-to!

  • Spinning Beach Ball Delay with "Look for Shared Photos" Checked

    We installed iLife '06 on our school computers - all 500 of them - this fall. It is version 6.0.4. However, upon launch, there is a long delay of about 2-4 minutes with a spinning beach ball that we've determined takes place because iphoto is looking for shared libraries. We have one shared library on the network at this time, but sometimes teachers turn on sharing, or have in the past.
    Last year, we were using iPhoto '04 and had no problems like this at all -shared libraries appeared immediately, just as quickly as shared libraries in itunes still do.
    Has anyone experienced this - is there a known issue? Or should I look for a network problem.

    Solved this problem myself. It was a dns issue. For some reason, when iphoto looks for shared photo's, it does a reverse lookup on the ip of any machine it finds that has sharing turned on. If there is no reverse lookup zone on your dns server running OS X then it locks up as it repeatedly sends the request. Simply creating a reverse zone for the ip address range of your clients makes the bug go away. Why it needs to do a reverse lookup is beyond me.

  • Microsoft Exchange 2013 eDiscovery - specific search query: looking for specific hyperlinks within e-mails content/body

    Dear all:
    I am currently using the MS Exchange 2013 eDiscovery feature with the objective to identify which of my users have received emails containing specific hyperlinks (e.g. http://website1/webroot/file.zip, http://website2/webroot/file.zip, etc.) from an unknown
    sender.
    To this end, I have been creating an eDiscovery on-hold case looking for a specific search criteria in all mailboxes.
    As the search criteria, I have tried many options but was unable to obtain satisfying results: I know I am missing some e-mails from this specific search (I checked manually). I have notably tried the following search queries (with and without the body:
    search operator, with and without double quotes, etc.)
    body:http://website1/* OR body:http://website2/*
    body:"http://website1/*" OR body:"http://website2/*"
    body:"website1*" OR body:"website2*"
    body:"*website1*" OR body:"*website2*"
    When replaying these queries on my local Outlook client, everything works fine and I get results as expected.
    However, when going through the ECP eDiscovery feature, I am missing some results.
    Therefore, I am looking for any advice on what Exchange eDiscovery KQL query I should use to identify all emails containing, in their message body, a list of specific hyperlinks/URLs.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    S.

    Alas I do not know the answer to resolution via ECP and like you I have found it to be a bit maddening to use ECP for discovery tests Ive done when comparing results with our DigiScope product.  I know we can accomplish what your looking to do via Regular
    Expression but again that's with a 3rd party tool. 
    One thought is I suppose it could be an indexing issue with the DB, so perhaps rebuilding the index would help?
    If you do get it working I would love to know the resolution since many of my tests with ECP have left me yelling at the screen.  When its works its cool when not well...

  • Camera Connector for Specific Photos

    I am looking into buying a camera connector for my iPod photo. I just wanted to know a few things.
    1) Is it possible to connect it to a camera and choose specific photos to transfer or do you have to transfer all the photos in order?
    2) Once the photos are transfered, is it simple to transfer it onto the computer?
    3) Which connector is the best?
    If anybody has any information about this Could you please reply and help me out?
    Thank You!

  • Looking for HP Photo template print v 1.12

    I know HP updated this program, but I want the templates back that were in the 1.12 version! Will somebody share, please?!

    I am also looking for a previous version of HP software. it was a free download. I last downloaded it in 2009 but due to malfunctioning computers, I lost the program. it is called HP photo template print. it allows the user to print images either as a full page print or use a variety of templates to insert images. the images do not have to be previously loaded to the computer but the program will accept the images from any device. If there is anyone, anyone at all who can help it will be greatly appreciated. The file name I have for it is HP Photo Template Print. ver 120.000.011 or something very similiar. I have contacted HP and no one seems to know what program I am referring too.
    PLEASE!!! help
    Thanks in Advance

  • Looking for a Photo Printer

    Hello everyone. I am looking for a small printer that I can take with me to my photo session that can print glossy photos Something that can do the 8x10s or smaller.

    Hi again Kolourl3lind,
    Since you are looking for a compact photo printer, I recommend either the PIXMA iP100 or (maybe) the SELPHY CP900.  With the iP100, you will get better support for connecting the printer to a computer.  The CP900 is more suited for printing directly from a memory card or camera.  Both will produce excellent quality photo prints, but you are limited in size on the CP900 to around 4x6 prints.
    Of course, the PIXMA MG7120 is a good option as well.  This printer will allow you to print larger sizes and directly from a memory card.  However, it has some features you don't need (like scanning and copying) and it's definitely not as portable as the other two.
    My best suggestion is to contact our Sales Department.  Our agents will be happy to discuss the best model for your needs.

  • Looking for a Photo Album or Photo Management Software

    Does anyone know of any good software that I could use like a photo album, something like iView Media (which I have) but maybe a little more visually appealing. I'm not looking for anything to host pics online; I just want something that lets me break down my pictures by year...and then sub-folders for each year so I can have all different subjects. I haven't been able to find anything no matter how much I've googled...THANKS!!

    Medic2872P:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As TD mentioned you can use iPhoto in the alias mode but you take on some additional responsibilities. When you delete a photo from the iPhoto library you do not delete it from the HD. That must be done manually from the Finder. It can be pretty easy to do that before deleting from iPhoto by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting Show Original in the contextual menu. You'll be taken to the folder where the source file is located where you can delete it manually. Then delete it from iPhoto.
    Secondly, you won't be able to add photos to existing source folder and have them imported into iPhoto automatically. So it's best to put each new import in their own folder and import that way. Also you should not rename or move a source file once it's been imported into iPhoto.
    If you're interested in checking it out more thoroughly, read Tutorial No. 2.
    If do decide on converting to an alias based library and want to preserve your keywords from the library, Tutorial #1 would be of help. You can follow #1 and then move the photos from the Originals sub folders into your other folders in the Pictures folder and replace the old files with the keyworded files. Next remove the old Library folder to the desktop, create a new library and set iPhoto's Advanced preferences to not copy file when importing. Then import your "source" folder into the new library and you're back in business.
    But you should remember the caveats I've mentioned. If you're careful you can operate as you'd like.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Looking for a photo website

    Hi,  I am creating a slideshow for my classroom and want to create an album for each parent to download their photos to.  The features I am looking for is that the website be:
    1.  Free
    2.  Viewable only to myself and the parent uploading their photo's.  I should have about 20 different albums - one for each parent. ( I don't want everyone seeing everyone's photo until the end of the year - I want the photos in the slideshow to be "new" to the parents.)
    3.  Easy to use
    4.  Photos easily uploaded for the parents and easily downloaded by me.

  • Looking for a photo effect

    I have been looking, unsuccessfully, for a photo effect in AS3. I am a noob so I don't know how to programme complex effects. I could do it in after effects but I would prefer it in AS3.
    How can I achieve an effects like this one
    http://www.flasheff.com/patternsshowcase/?pattern=FESBlurSquare
    Thank you

    hi
    its been a while since i used AS2 but i think AS3 has more effects (filters) - although some of them cant be set via the IDE (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filters/package-d etail.html for the list)
    if we were restricted to 'non-coded' effects, the possibilities would be much reduced...

  • Looking for specific cable

    I just looked in the store and Apple doesn't seem to sell this, but I am looking for a female/male connector cable. Essentially, I need a cable that replicates an iPhone dock at one end (male) and then plugs into the dock with the female end so I can tether my iphone to my dock. The reason is I can't fit the phone in the dock with the protective cover and it's a pain to remove every morning, as well as the fact that it eventually stretches the plastic cover out taking it off and on repetitively.
    If you've seen one of these somewhere, please let me know.
    Thanks

    EllsbirdAgain,
    There is two ends, one that goes into the dock, one that goes into your computer. The end currently connected to your dock is a dock connector. The other end is a USB connector that goes into your computer.
    The one that goes into the dock can also connect directly to your iPhone.
    Essentially I am recommending bypassing the dock if your case gets in the way of using the dock.
    This is page on the Apple Store online shows what both ends look like:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/A (Note: That is the replacement cable for what came with your iPhone)
    Hope this helps,
