Managing which images (or movies) are inserted
Hi
I need to mainly to present images, as kinds of photo albums.
I would need to know which images are included or not: I want to put them all and avoid dupes, or do it on purpose.
In the Metrics nail, in the Inspector pane, the name of the selected object is displayed but it gives no clue about the path.
I found a turnaround by dragging the file name in the Presenter Notes.
I tried using the Comments by why do they have to be square? If you could make them as a rectangular labels it would be much more practical.
TIA
Nick
Hi Brie
Thanks for your input.
I would certainly like to minimize my files size as a rule of thumb.
Yet I have a collection of thousands of photos that I have already processed when necessary in Photoshop ELements. It's either digital or scanned pics. iPhoto slideshow doesn't suit me: I want a full screen presentation of any number or pics displayed the way I want. Keynote meets my specs.
However it misses one feature:
My real objective is to keep track of the pictures that are inserted in a presentation, on which one and at which page.
Realistic? Any turn around? Any other application? I looked in Automator if there was something possible but had no time to fully explore it.
Thanks
Nick

ADF: controlling the order in which VO records are inserted
All,
in an ADF BC project, we have some complex MD insert pages that add records to master and detail tables at the same time. The application sits on top of CDM RuleFrame, which exposes the datamodel as DB views with instead-of triggers and adds (Designer) a few nifty things like auto-populated PK fields. Sad enough, we can't use these auto-generated PKs as the 'refresh after insert' settings in an EO work with a RETURNING clause, which is not supported for instead-of triggers. This means we'll have to find the PK sequences ourselves from the EOs and populate these fields ourselves, before committing to the database. So far so good, but things go wrong when we want to insert master and detail at the same time. The PK and FK of the child record are already filled in at insert time (which is nice) but for some reason the child records get inserted before the parents, resulting in an error on the FK as the parent record does not yet exist (which is not nice).
So, here's the question: is there a way to control the order in which new VO records are inserted ? On what is the default order based (maybe a little renaming could help us out to get the alphabet our way) ?
We know defining the FKs as 'initially deferred' will make sure they are only checked at commit time, but our DBA prefers to not use that solution unless strictly necessary. (is there anything bad about deferred keys why we should believe him? ;o) )
And additionally, is there a way around all this manual PK-fetching ? We've tried using the refresh(int refreshMode) method of EntityImpl, but it didn't seem to work.
Many thanks in advance for your tips, suggestions and solutiosn !
Best regards,
Benjamin De BoeBenjamin,
To handle the problem with the child/parent records being inserted in the wrong order - have a read of the Oracle ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL developers, section 26.7. I use that technique with great success.

Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?Hi Kevin,
I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?
I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?
Create a smart collection with criteria "collection" and "does not contain"; and also with criterion Folder contains (or folder contains all)
That works if you are thinking about a specific named collection.
If you are interested in finding photos that are not in ANY collection, the usual trick is "collection" "does not contain" "a e i o u y" -
Is there a way to determine which rows are inserted in JDT1 table by the system automatically?
Hi,
Is there a way to determine which rows are inserted in JDT1 table by the system automatically? Example, many GLs which are mapped in GL Account Determination, like Foreign Exchange Gain / Loss, Rounding Account, etc. are inserted by the system automatically in the Journal Entry on various scenarios, like during Incoming Payment, etc.
Which SQL query can give me those rows? Basically the WHERE condition should be based on which column or multiple columns in JDT1 table?
Thanks.Hi Rajesh,
I'm not entirely sure but I think the TransId is the same in the header that belongs to the transaction.
OINV.TransId = JDT1.TransId

How to tell which photos in iPhoto are HDR images.
Does anyone know how to tell which photos in iPhoto are HDR images. When I click on the Info button for the image it doesn't indicate if it was an HDR.
Does anyone have any information about this?
I'm using a new iPhone 5s with basically a new iMac.
Thanks,
Hagrid...You can do a filter on your library with "File Status" is "Missing". The "File Status" query is not available by default, but you can add it by clicking the upper-right button in the filter window.

Neat example. :)
Try this.I did and was at first confused because I expected the code to arrive on-screen looking like the screen-shot at the page. Then it occured to me to type some text including a smiley, and it changed to the icon as expected.
For other people like me who are not quite very clever, how about adding an 'Instructions' section, or initializing the JEP with instructions?

How do I show multiple rollover images on a page inserted dynamically (pulled out of a sql database
How do I show multiple rollover images on a page inserted dynamically (pulled out of a sql database table) using Dreamweaver’s Repeat Region. Example: I have different products each one associated (through their productID) with two images (one that’s showing in the page and one for the rollover effect) that are pulled from a database using Dreamweaver’s Recordset. So I want to end up with a page containing row after row of images(one for every product).When moused over each image will reveal the second (rollover) image for the same product which in turn can be a link(the image itself ) that when clicked leads to a detailed page with more information about the product the image is associated with. To show row after row with images for the different products in the database table I am using Dreamweaver’s Insert Rollover Image command and then the Repeat Region – I have no problem to complete the steps, to insert the image and the rollover one at once and set the paths so they are pulled dynamically depending on the productID they are associated with .I have also no problem to apply the Repeat Region so not only the first image associated with the first product in the table is shown but all of them-a routine and standard procedure when using the Repeat Region to dynamically generate and display multiple rows of data. However, when I preview the page the rollover effect is lost –the images are shown but when moused over the second image does not show. The problem is caused when the Repeat Region is applied-once again I am allowed to apply it but the rollover stops working, a kind of interference. ANY SOLLUTION PLEASE, ANY WORK AROUND.
I gotta tell you, using multiple images for rollover effects is going to be a big challenge in your dynamic scenario.
If this were my product page, I would use thumbnails with a bit of CSS opacity or filters to desaturate and make them full opacity/color on mouse over. Nice effect with much less bandwidth. Easily done globally with CSS code.
Two examples:

Images gone from presentation, when replacing "image couldn't be inserted."
Keynote 6.2, OSX 10.9.4, 1st gen Macbook Pro Retina
I have a presentation that had a bunch of images that are now gone (replaced by the grey square with the "?"). When I open the presentation I get a "Some images are missing because they were deleted from the document" warning. I understand that this usually means that there is an issue with the source image, but there are a few things happening for me:
1) When I try to "Replace" an image (mostly .png) I can find the right image in the folder where I left it. If I select that image, which has the same title and is in the same directory as the day I first gave the presentation, I get a "The image 'example.png' couldn't be inserted" warning.
2) If I try to Insert>Choose an image I get a "The image 'example.png' couldn't be inserted. The image is of an unsupported file type" notification. If I open a new presentation there are not problems inserting an image.
3) There are many images that are "droppedImage.tiff" and "pasted-image.pdf". Shouldn't these have been embedded in the file itself?
4) There are two images from roughly 50 slides that still have their images. Both are "pasted-image.pdf" and if I remember right they were the last images I added.
My guess is that the presentation is lost and I'll have to rebuild, but the problems I'm having are so unusual that I hope there is something can be done.
The last update to this presentation was June 23rd, so I believe (though I could be wrong) that I was using Keynote 6.2 at the time. I usually update right away.
Thanks!Hey fasol,
You may need to convert those files to PDF before they can be inserted into Keynote:

How can I determine which image was clicked in 3D carousel?
I have been modifying some 3D carousel code that I found in hopes that I can get it such that when image "resolv2.jpg" (or any of my other images) is clicked on at the front of my carousel, it goes to a specific webpage. By just replacing "moveBack(event.target) from the toggler section of the code with "navigateToURL:(newURLRequest('http://google.com'), the target DOES sucessfully go to google when clicked on. However, I want to modify this code by altering the else statement to say something to the effect of "else if event.target (clicked on object) is 'resolv2.jpg' THEN go to google". So essentially, my question is how can I determine which image was clicked? Here is the entire code with the area I was altering bolded:

</mx:Application>Your answer may be correct, but I am very much a beginner to actionscript, and I was wondering moreso if it is possible to determine the root/url (i.e. images/resolv2.jpg)? Or even if InteractiveScene3DEvent calls a variable that holds this url? However, specifically, I'm just wondering if the actionscript itself could determine the url in a line of code such as "if object == BitmapFileMaterial("/images/resolv2.jpg"); "? Also, here's a copy of InteractiveScene3DEvent in more detail if you think that will help:

Managing RAW image Files on several machines
I am a new user of Lightroom, purchased three weeks ago, and trying to switch from Aperture, which doesn't support my newest addition to my equipment, the Canon G9 RAW files. I feel resonably comfortable after these weeks with LR's basic concept's, with the exception of how it manages files. I just don't get it after going through the FAQ and the online help resources, and trying to slug it out with Martin Evening's book on LR from Adobe.
I have several hundred Gb of RAW images from a variety of sources. I need to be able to read and manage LR from two different machines, my MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro. I also need to be able to manipulate the images in various folders. My images are now contained in folders on an external drive(s). I need to keep the RAW original images for future access, keep the LR image information so it can be read by different machines, and be confident of neither losing the original RAW files nor losing the metadata and LR image edits. I want to keep all of the image information on external drives that can be accessed by physically connecting them to one of the two machines.
I think my problem is in not understanding the concepts in LR of a "library", a "catalog" and a "collection", nor understanding how to manage the images using these concepts.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.William,
Lightroom cannot modify the image portion of a RAW file, although sometimes the image metadata can get modified. Here is a thread where Chris Birchall and I explain that in detail:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c0331a6/13
Regarding workflow, Larry brings up a good point. Lightroom overall is a fantastic ver.1 product, it truly is. The printing functionality needs beefing up and this multi-user multi-copy situation can be troublesome.
If you use only one external hard drive then the method I described above might work fine. Things I'd do if I was running such a setup:
--Use 2 folders, one named Lightroom and one named Photos, on each machine and on the external drive. Store the Lightroom catalog, folders, etc. under the Lightroom folder. Make all subdirectories/subfolders under the main Photos folder as needed for your photos.
--Do not import your photos into LR's database, import them in place and leave them as-is on the disk. A metadata-only catalog file size will be much smaller than a database containing 1000s of photos and will copy much faster.
--Back up your Lightroom directory after every working session.
--Back up your Photos directory any time you add new photos or rearrange the directories/subfolders so all 3 directory structures and contents (laptop, desktop, external drive) are always identical. Since your main LR catalog is on your external disk, your backup can be the copy on your laptop or desktop.
--Keep the copies straight in your mind (harder than it sounds).
--Try to name your on-disk folders as close to your Collections names as practical. A bit more work but makes things easier to find and makes deleting photos easier. You cannot delete while in a Collection, hopefully they'll fix that.... Anyway, when your Collection and Folders names are way out of sync it can be a hassle to track down where that Collection photo is on-disk if you want to delete it.....
One area that might get out of sync is when you want to delete photos from your disk. It's easy to add new photos to your backup machines but not easy to delete them everywhere.... In that case you might sometimes want to delete a folder/subfolder and re-copy the whole thing.
Cheers,

Managing non-image files in iPhoto e.g. wav file
Hi.
In the past I had a camera that wouldn't record video, but would record audio and saved them as .wav's. Previously I have managed and organized my photos independently using Explorer (during the dark days of Windows) and now through Finder, and this way I was able to keep these audio files in the same place as the pictures they were associated with. Having now tried to import these folders of images and .wav files I see that iPhoto will not accept files in .wav format, and the thought of having to keep them somewhere completely seperate from the images they're a part of really irks me.
Does anyone know of a way around this, or have a suggestion for somehow being able to manage the situation? I see video files are no problem for iPhoto to manage, which can even call Quicktime to play the videos if desired... surely there must be a way to deal with .wav's?
And since we're on the topic - what about other file formats? Most of my pictures (and audio) are from my travels, so ideally I'd like to be able to manage folders that can hold all of my photos, videos, soundfiles and text files (journals) in one place... Don't suppose this is a realistic dream yet is it?
Thanks everyoneNo.
Placing any file inside your library folder will appear to not do anything. You won't see a placeholder or anything there. For that to happen, files must be imported. If the file type is not supported, iPhoto will refuse to import. In addition, those extra files inside your library could confuse the database. You might start getting a message upon launch that iPhoto needs to rebuild the thumbnails. But it could get worse. You could cause your database to become corrupted. In that case you would lose all of your metadata: titles, keywords, comments, ratings; lose the relationship between your originals and their edited versions; plus lose your albums, books, calendars, etc.
So no, it's not safe. Manage them yourself outside of the iPhoto Library folder. You could keep them in your Pictures or Music folder in a subfolder labeled Voice Recordings, or look into the software that TD recommended.

Which image stabilizer do you prefer?
Cost is not a factor. I typically only work with AVCHD videos. Which image stabilizer would you recommend? What are the pros and cons?
So far I read up on proDAD Mercalli V2, vReveal, and Mocha for After Effects. I haven't tried After Effects so I'm guessing that I will have to learn that too.From my experience shooterNZ is right again, AVCHD could be either 13Mbps amateur or 25Mbps professional and I would not use the 13Mbps stuff, in any case the stabilizer in Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements maybe as good as you can get, but , it does magnify the pixels and with normal camera movement will make it look like running on a railway track most of the time, but really bad stuff .....not a good look. Re -shoot or Frame Hold if movement in subject is not a consideration

I can't grab iPhone movies to insert into my movie project
Before I upgraded to iLife, i started a project in iMovie and had no problem finding my iPhone movies to insert into my project. However, after the upgrade, my iPhone videos don't appear to be available to insert into my project. Anyone else have this issue and who can offer any suggestions? I am making a movie of my son's 2nd year and his party is this weekend! help!
Sorry to bust in on this thread but am pretty good with computers but feel like a real idiot here.
I recently downloaded a video and converted it into mpeg-4 using videora which was done successfully. Now I opened Itunes and went onto library where all my songs are and clciked on 'file' and then 'add file to library' and double clicked on the video which said it was mpeg-4 and I cant find it in my library, nor is it listed when I go down and click on videos.
I hope I'm doing something really stupid and missing something. Can anyone help??
Thanks

Lightroom opens Photoshop from backup drive
Sometimes LR opens PSCC 2014 from my attached BOOT CLONE (backup) drive, causing two concurrently running instances. This will happen if I have previously opened PSCC14 from the dock to load an image. LR doesn't realize PS is already running and open
