Making Image Fit Into Photo Album

I am using photoshop elements 11 trial version before I buy one. I'm trying the wedding photo album, but I'm having trouble fitting a picture into the picture "slots" for lack of a better term. One picture that I simply want as a full picture is 8.5 x 11, 300 dpi. Photoshop elements will not let me see the entire picture. What do I do?

Do you mean you want to drag a picture from the photo bin to the working space so that they fit in one free location of the template ?
If the size in pixels of the dragged picture is much bigger than the final size in the template, you'll see only a small part of it in your template. If you want to resize the layer where the dragged photo has been copied, you can't see the bounding rectangle to resize the layer.
You could resize a copy of the file to drag to a smaller size before dragging, but it would be easier to use the following method:
- I have set the preference to zoom with the wheel of my mouse.
- Once I have dragged my image to the template, I use the shortcut Ctrl T ( free transform) I zoom strongly so that the whole picture looks much smaller and the bounding box of the new layer appears entirely. Alternatively I can use the navigator slider to reduce the zoom range so that the bounding box appears around the reduced view of the template.
- I select a corner of the bounding box and move it towards the center to resize the image so that it fits roughly into the template; and I zoom back to normal view of the template to adjust the size and position of the layer with the move tool.

Load image into Photo Album

I'm new to Oracle.
Can I load image into database by using Photo Album by no writing any code?
And how?
If not,how to load image into database?

Yes you can. You can load media into the database into the photo album tables.
Is this what you want to do? What exactly are you trying to accomplish.
You can also use PL/SQL to put images into the database into your own schema (as with other database information)

Need help editing scanned images of old photo album pages PSE 9

Before I begin this project, I thought I'd get some advice from someone who has undertaken a similar project. I have three photo albums from the 50's and 60's. The albums were made by my mother who mounted the photos (mostly black and white but some color photos) on construction paper (of various colors) using the corner holders or glue. She hand cut the construction paper so each page is not a perfect rectangle ( about 11" tall, 8.5" wide). The pages were punched and put into a three-ring binder.
She added text to the edge of the photo and/or to the construction paper. Each page contains one to 6 photos and text. Each album has about 120 pages. I want to keep the notes on the construction paper so I scanned each page into a TIF files, 400 dpi and stored the images in a separate folder for each volume.
I use (poorly) PSE 9. I see it has a auto straighten/crop feature that can be used one photo at a time. I tried the divide scanned images function and that did not fully separate all images on the page and also created an image for stray objects on the page such as an unused corner holder. (I know those things have a better name but it escapes me now.)
I plan to create photo books for my siblings. I am now thinking of cropping the image of each page (rather than each photo on the page) into a uniform size, adjusting levels, contrast and sharpness, saving this image to a JPEG file, and using these edited JPEG images to create the photo book. Since each page was hand-cut, there will areas of white where one page was torn or cut smaller than another page. Some pages will have blanks where old photos have been lost leaving behind only the corner things. It won't be perfect but it will be an image of the album as it exists today.
My questions are:
The pages are about 11 by 8.5. Does anyone know a photo service that prints photo albums in a portrait layout in this size? I have been unable to find one; it looks like most online photo books are wider rather than taller.
Let's assume I use a company such as Shutterfly that offers a 12x12 format. I assume it would be better to edit the images in PSE9 rather than any online software. What should I do to keep the proportions in the current images true but make the image fit a 12x12 page, for example?
IS there any other editing software anyone can recommend that will speed this up, hopefully a software that would take multiple photos at one time, auto-straighten and auto crop to a set size? And also auto contrast/level/sharp. If I could use such auto features on these images and then go back and adjust the photos that did not play well with the auto features, that would save me time.
I appreciate anyone's input. I dread doing this but we have one set of photos and 5 siblings so it has to be done. Thanks!

Hi,
Mentioning your issues one by one:
1) PSE does not have any portrait Photobook available, so your thought was the best way to get the work done is by choosing the 12x12 - shutterfly one.
2) PSe does a good job of editing the images. You can set your images of approx. 11x8 size to fit to the 12x12 page. Just choose a one photo page Layout for the page and then right click on the image to " Fit photo in the frame".
3) If more edits are required for the image, you can easily go to Advanced mode and edit your photos, layouts, move the frames, images or add effects to the images.
4) Photo book creation sure takes time. because, you want it to be the best. I am sure PSE would help you best here.
Go ahead and create you photobook. Inc ase you get stuck somewhere, you can always post here to get help!
Cheers,
Swarnima

Organizing images for a photo album (to be printed) not working as expected

I am trying to create a group of selects from a vacation from which I will print 40 non-snorkeling photos to put in a physical photo album. Here’s what I’m doing:
Created project Hawaii, imported about 400 images.
Created keywords "Hawaii", “Snorkeling Trip” and “Everything Else”
Created Smart Album “Land and Air” with keywords “Hawaii” and “Everything Else”
Created Smart Album “Snorkeling Trip” with keywords “Hawaii” and “Snorkeling Trip”
Created empty Album “Photo Album”
At this point I have about 400 images in the project Hawaii, 350 in Smart Album “Land and Air” and 50 in Smart Album “Snorkeling Trip”. So far everything is working as expected.
Next I selected the Smart Album “Land and Air”, switched to the Ratings & Keywords view, walked through all images and found 40 to rate 5-stars. I also cropped and made some adjustments.
Next I re-arranged these 40 selects to an order that better depicts a story. Note: At this point the sort field indicates “Custom” as expected.
Next I dragged these 40 selects into empty Album “Photo Album”. This is where the problems begin:
In the Album "Photo Album", the sort order changed to “Image Date” and “Custom” is now grayed out. I can not change the order of the images.
All of these images are “- version 2”. If I click on the Smart Album “Land and Air” these 40 “- version 2” images appear there, too, in addition to the ones that are already there. I.E. There are 40 more images in “Land and Air”, 40 of the original images and 40 of “- version 2”. Interestingly, the originals and “- version 2” images are identical – they are both cropped and adjusted.
I’m confused as to why there are “- version 2” images when they are the same (with crops and adjustments) as version "1”. What I expected was to just have the 40 images I selected out and arranged in the Album “Photo Album” and the original 40 in Smart Album “Land and Air” not duplicated and would (or perhaps would not?) reflect the crops and adjustments, and keywording.
How should I be doing this? What am I doing wrong?

Making a project into an album

I got my Aperture 2 when I was busy trying to install my Time Machine. I automatically put all my new pictures into project boxes as shown at the top of the pull-out tab. Now, since they are varied shots of my three year old grandson, I'd like to make them into folders to store under his name in the program. I already lost one set of photos (I still have the original images. Is there an easy way to transfer the images from that 1st on the list project into an album so that they won't disappear when I semi-close the list?

you can't turn a project into an album ... images live in projects ... albums are "references" to images in those projects ...
projects can live in folders ... projects can contain folders and albums ...
i'd suggest reading these articles:

Raw Images in a Photo Album Book Project

If i import raw in my library and then put it in a photo album project does it save the image as a raw image?
If i buy the book will the raw images not show or what.

No - it uses the processed RAW - typically a JPEG
Before ordering your book preview it using this method -http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

How do you reorder or rearrange the images in a photo album

We set up several photo albums on our new ipad2. Now that we have them, we are trying to rearrange the photos within an album to make the slideshow make more sense.

I was trying to do this too, and I think I have it figured out - it's less intuitive than I thought it would be. If you already have a photo album and you want to rearrange the photos in it:
First, e album needs to have been created on the iPad - if it was created in iTunes and synced, it will not be editable. I got around this by opening the album I wanted to edit, clicking the button in the upper right that lets you send or move pictures, selecting ALL the pictures in the album, choosing "add to.." and creating a new album with them. I could then edit the new album (although the old album also still exists).
Once there is a new album:
1. In the Album view in Photos (where all your albums display) click the "Edit" button in the upper right corner.
2. All the albums you have created on the iPad will display the little x in the upper left which means you can delete them - but if you click on the album you want to edit (not the x), it will open the album, and you can rearrange photos.
3. Click and hold on a photo and it will enlarge slightly, indicating that you can move it around.
If you decide to delete any photos, you can do that too, selecting them and then choosing e delete button in the upper left - however, for some reason you will no longer have the rearrange option after that, and need to exit the album and re-enter edit mode (back to step 1 above).
For reference, I am using an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1 .
I hope that helps!

Is there a way to view image numbers in iPad photos, either of images taken with the iPad or of images copied into Photo (or camera roll) on the iPad?

Is there a way to view image numbers (metadata) on the iPad Photo app, distinguishing those taken with the internal camera from those downloaded from external camera or copied from an email?

sberman: My iMac is running iTunes 11.0.2 already. As well, the Photos tab in the iTunes window shows that "Sync Photos from" is un-checked. And in the box to the right of it is the greyed-out empty folder that I previously synced to in order to remove photos from the Camera Roll.
Ralph9430: I did a reset (Home + Sleep) earlier when I was trying everything I could think of. I have also re-synced a couple of times. No luck.
Thanks anyway. I was hoping someone out there would tell me they've experienced the same problems (non-functioning DELETE button, and persistent data in Photo Library), even if they haven't found a solution. Then I could assume it's a iOS 6 bug. All I can think of to do next is a full iPad restore.

Black images in my iPhone's photo album

Hello,
When i synced my iPhone with iPhoto on my mac and then deleted the pictures off my iPhone when Iphoto asked, there are now black images in my photo album on my iPhone. How do I get rid of these? I've tried to delete them on my iPhone but that doesn't seem to work.

Were you able to fix this? The same thing is happening to me, my iPhone4 is new, and I had never had this problem with my 3G. It's happening when I move photos into the trash...I'm left with a black image.

Dynamic Photo Album using JSP

Hi all,
I've been having a bit of trouble getting help with my question - I've tried a couple of usenet groups, however don't seem to be asking the right question. So, I'm hoping that some Java forums may be of more relevance. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place, and if there is a better place for me to ask my question if you could tell me where that is, I'ld be greatful.
I am looking at finding/ making an online dynamic photo album which
uses JSP. I've seen a lot of examples using PHP and a few online
albums using Javascript, however those albums using JavaScript are not
dynamic - the images are hard coded.
My scenario is this, we have about 6 different events with about 150
photos each. What I would like to happen is to be able to have a index
page which lists 10 photos each, and when you click on the photo to be
taken to a secondary page with a larger image. I would like to do this
without needing to create 150 dependant pages.
I understand that we will be looking at using server side technology.
As our pages already use JSP we don't want to add a second server side
language (PHP, Pearl etc...) to the equation.
So does anyone know of a script that may already do this? As I seem to be having no luck in finding one to suit my purpose, I would be happy to create my own script.
The problem is that I am not too familiar with JSP - though I used to do a fair bit of ASP using VB Script. What I would like is to be pointed into a page that will show me how to create an array with a list of filenames in a given directory (using a Site relative path). From there I should be right, but I can't seem to find any references to how this can be done using JSP (or even Javascript).
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Regards
Linda

You need to File class, it can produce a list of files in a directory.
File photodir = new File("c:/path/to/photos");
File[] photos = photodir.listFiles();
for(int i = 0; i < photos.length; i++){
File fp = photos;
if(fp.isFile()){
// check to see if it is an image

Could someone explain photostream, camera roll and photo albums?

I have a new iPHONE 5C, but am very confused in what are, and differences between, the iPHONE's camera roll, photo stream, and photo albums.
If someone could explain what these are, what they do, I'd appreciate it.
RIght off the bat, I understand photos and videos I take with my 5C first get stored in the unit's camera roll. Is that right?
OK, then I get confused as to / how to add (separate) my photos/videos into photo albums.
Also, I get confused as to IF I'd want to delete photos from photo albums, does that mean they ALSO get deleted from my 5C's camera roll (or internal memory somewhere?)
I just took 20 precious videos that I cannot afford to lose... should I backup these 20 videos first to my HP laptop PC (I have Windows 7 OS) before I try to copy to a photo album I'd want to create just for these 20 videos??
My icloud (don't even understand what icloud is or how it works! ) is full - so I'd like to delete photos I don't really care for from my 5C - will that give me more space in the iCLOUD for backups?
I'm very confused... any tips/pointers here would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi TurquoiseBlue
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
I will be happy to help you today.
So what I will do is explain the difference and if you have any other issue I will respond to them ASAP.
Camera Roll: This is every photo that has been take on this device and once it is deleted I will be deleted from all folders on that Phone however it will be backed up to iCloud Photos if it is enabled on your device.
My Photo Stream: This is a place where every photo you have taken in the last 30 days (with I think a limit of 10,000) are stored. The images here are all images taken on any device that used the same iCloud/Apple iD as the phone. So this means that if you took a picture on your iPod 15 days and it uses the same account as your iPhone the image taken will be on your iPhone and any other iOS and Mac OS X device that have the same account under Photo Stream. My Photo Stream is basically the Cloud storage of images.
Photo Albums: Consist of all images from the Camera role that have also been placed into an album. So if you want to sort some images from the camera role and have them in folders such as wedding, birthdays e.c.t these images will be there AND in the Camera role. If you delete the images from an album other than Camera role the images will go from that folder but will remain in the Camera role. If you delete an image from the Camera Role it will be removed from Camera Role and any other folder that is created.
Basically photos work like a flow chart.
Image Taken ⇒ Camera Role.
If there is iCloud Photos on: image ⇒ Photo Stream and therefore accessible on another iOS/Mac OS X device using same iCloud/Apple iD.
Just to repeat as I know this is crucial and important information.
If an image is deleted from Camera Role that image is wiped from the device. However there is still a copy of that photo in iCloud Photos but remember those images are only there for 30 days so don't rely on it to keep that image.
Delete an image from photo stream it is wiped from the iCloud sync of that image to all iOS/Mac OS X device using iCloud Photos using same iCloud/Apple iD. YOU WILL STILL HAVE THAT IMAGE IN CAMERA ROLE HOWEVER.
Photo Albums. Delete an image there and it will be removed JUST from the folder. Delete and image from Camera Role that is also in a folder and it will be wiped from the Camera role and Photo Album. However there is still a copy of that photo in iCloud Photos but remember those images are only there for 30 days so don't rely on it to keep that image.
Just quickly iCloud Photos is a way of keeping a cloud copy of those photos on all your iOS/Mac OS X device using the same iCloud/Apple iD as I am sure you have worked out already.
With iCloud Photos you can also share images using a shared photo stream where people can add, comment and like images there.
In short don't rely on iCloud Photos to keep an image if you want to delete an image from the photo stream because most likely when you will want the image, it will be gone.
Of course Apple might explain it better than me and so this link should verify what I said and reinforce what iCloud Photos does: http://www.apple.com/icloud/icloud-photo-sharing.html
Many Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

How many photos fit into 2 GB space?

1) How many photos are supposed to fit into a 2 GB Album space? (I could only download 380 photos - 330 went to My Galleries and 50 to the Album)........
Is this correct? have I punched a wrong button? or did I punch enough buttons? How do I get the 330 photos from My Galleries into the Album??
2) On the 2 GB Stored space - How do I find where the On Line Storage is??
Per my calculation, the 380 photos downloaded to Photoshop. com equals to 190 photos per 1 GB -- that is not that many!
I am running on the thought process that I could download between 500 and 900 photos on 2 GB's.
Appreciate any help.
Impressions4U

That's kind of like asking how long is a piece of string. It depends on how large the file size is for the photos you're uploading. If you're talking 30 MB per image, that's a lot fewer than you'll get if each photo is a 50K jpg.

Can an image resize automatically to fit into a template?

Many (weaker) programs allow you to drag an image into a template and have it resize to fit into a specific area. Can this be done in CS6? For instance .... if you designed a 4x6 Christmas card template and it had a (place holder?) for a 2x2 photograph, and you dragged an image into this 2x2 area, can it resize automatically to "fill" just that 2x2 area? This would result in some cropping of just the longest dimension, if the image inserted wasn't a square.

It can be done with Photoshop Scripting. Note when the inage has a diffenebt aspect ratio or different shape then the template the images is sized to fit and fill the template open and any excess is masked off.
I have a free download you can use. In Photoshop version CS2 through CS5 Below CS2 some required features are missing and there are bugs in CS6 scripting.
Photo Collage Toolkit
Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this. The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
There are ten scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

Can I moved flagged photos into an album on the iPad?

Hi there,
While on holiday I used my iPad to backup photos from my camera and I used the flag system in iPhoto for iPad to mark which ones I wanted to share. The problem is I can't see a way of moving the flagged photos into an album so I wanted to find out if it is actually possible to do this on the iPad.
Additional info:
The photos were uploaded onto the iPad using the native Photos app and have been flagged in iPhoto
The photos are also on my iCloud account
Neither the flags nor editing applied to the photos have synced after iCloud has been updated on my Macbook
Due to the above I am unable to create a Smart Album based on flagged photos on my Macbook
In iPhoto for iPad I cannot see the filename so I am unable to discern which images to flag on my Macbook to utilise Smart Albums (I have a lot of very similar photos)
Any help would be much appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.

There is not yet a simple solution to do what you want. The new Photos.app in iOS 8 will bring a much better integration between iPad and Mac.
I just don't understand the point of being able to flag, favourite or tag item on the iPad if you can't organise them into folders or easily share them between Apple's own apps.
iPhoto on the iPad is simply not yet as flexible as iPhoto on a Mac. It is not meant for syncing libraries between Mac and iPad. You can share photos, but not albums. And the central sharing place with other apps on the iPad is the Camera Roll. To make photos valuable in other apps, share them to the Camera Roll.
In iPhoto you cannot create albums like in the Photos.app. Only smart albums based on tags. If you add a tag "Flower" to some photos, you will automatically create an album "Flower". But again, these tags will not be transferred to your Mac by the Photo Stream, you will not see them in iPhoto on your mac.
If you want to transfer the edited photos using the Photo Stream you have to add them to the Photo Stream after editing, and that requires to save them to the Camera Roll.
You could use a shared Photo Stream, but that will reduce the size of the photos. Or select the flag photos and sync them to your Mac using iTunes Photo Sharing. http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/#blnkee26bc1f
Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap > iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.
I am using the iPad mainly to browse and show photos in slideshows, but not, to organise and tag them. That I will do on my Mac.
