Missing image size info in catalog

Many of my catalog images (LR 3.6) do not show file size or pixel information for the associated image file. I suspect this is a hangover from an import of photos from Photoshop Elements which I used in the past. The problem is that when I put such an image in a slideshow or web gallery, the exported image is not properly displayed.
To get around this, I can export the image files to a hard drive directory in original format, and then re-import them into my web gallery collection. The correct file size info is then available in the catalog, and the image reproduces correctly in the exported gallery.
I know (or at least hope) this is a kludge, and there is a more straightforward method to correct the catalog. I have many photos with incomplete image information.
Any ideas?

Difficult to know for sure. Example: Out of a collection of 30 images transferred from PSE, all have "Error writing metadata", and none show prior edit history, including cropping. (most likely transferred all as JPEG.) Of the 30, five images display filesize correctly in the Library, and are subsequently sized correctly when exported or put in the "Develop" module. All others are not.
One of the five good images was definitely cropped; the remaining 29 I cannot remember. I typically straighten and crop many of my picks, however.

Every time I right-click an image in Firefox 3.6.12 to view image size info it says "Unknown (not cached)". Any ideas on why this could be happening and how I can stop it? My OS is Ubuntu 10.10. If you need any more info let me know.

Missing Image Size and Position Data

In AI CS5 the size and position of an image were displayed in the top toolbar when you selected the image. This is missing in AI CS6, how can I get it back?

Well I did discover that what I need is called "Transform" but it's already checked in the menu you suggested. In fact EVERY box is already checked in that menu, and checking or unchecking them from that menu has absolutely no affect on anything anyway.
I found that I can expand one of the menus from the right side, and the "Transform" box is there, and that's fine. But that data (object size and position) was very useful when displayed on the top toolbar in CS5. Any idea how to make it appear in the top toolbar? It will un-dock (and is very difficult to re-dock)

How can I tell which catalog a missing image belongs to?

How can I tell which catalog a missing image belongs to?
Beating a dead horse.....Everytime I need "missing images" in LR4.2, I cannot access them, even though I am looking right at the location they presntly occupy because thye image is ALREADY IN ANOTHER CATALOG.
HOW frustrating is this...going on 8 months now. But I need the images and I suppose I could just go back and reprocess 10,000 images that are missing in my collections but I have tried many solutions offered over the months that are just impractical.
So Now I want to approach this thing from the other direction...
If let's say one image is already associated with another catalog that houses that collection, ( and the collection is important because it has the edits), i want to go to that catalog instead.
How do I do this?
Any Ideas?

It sounds as if you have been using separate catalogs for sets of images which are in separate folders. Perhaps you have had good reason to do that. But I would now make three linked observations:
It seems that you are now more able to both find, and distinguish, things via a folder structure - rather than via whatever classification of different catalogs you may have thought were going to be helpful to you
accordingly, having these mutiple catalogs is now getting in your way
using folders works just the same inside one big catalog, as it does inside each of two smaller catalogs.
The solution to the first two, IMO, is to merge your separate catalogs into one catalog. Then the third will kick in. You can still keep the current separate catalogs for archive or reference purposes, but the "Import from Another Catalog" function will MERGE copies of all their contents into a combined, larger catalog that you can use going forward. (The images and folders themselves, do not change in any way when you do this.)
If you wish to track which catalog each image is currently inside, you could apply some kind of keyword across all images in that catalog, before carrying out the merge. However, it sounds to me as if your folder arrangement currently mirrors the different catalogs in some way anyway - and will continue to convey the same information once combined.
Lightroom is designed to be able to work with large numbers of images more or less the same as with small numbers; and this has been anecdotally confirmed in many cases. AFAICT the main performance issue is not the size of the database, but the size and nature of the image data involved and the complexity of things you do with that, per image, also the ability of your computer system to carry these operations out, per image. (Another overall productivity issue is: do you need to keep navigating to and opening different catalogs; or... not!)
Even if you merge catalogs and then change your mind about all or some of that, you can either: retain and go back to the previous un-merged catalogs - or: to preserve further work done since merging, you can use Export as Catalog to copy out a certain highlighted set of images. Then you can Remove what you wish from the main catalog - using the exact same means of identifying which images require this - for example, the image set you have only just exported to a new catalog will still be highlighted inside the source catalog.

Right click top bar to open Image Size/Canvas Size/Info?

I've just upgraded from PS 5 to PS CC. In previous versions I was able to just right click on the top image bar to bring up a dialog box allowing me to access the Image Size, Canvas Size, Image Info, etc... That does not seem to be the case with PS CC, or am I missing a prefence setting that will allow this?
Thanks!

I tried your suggestion but still cannot access that info by right-clicking the bar. I've gone through my preference settings, primarily under the Interface section and enabled and disabled several options but still no luck. It's just habit from many years use and nice to be able to access several common settings I might adjust.
The keyboard shortcuts are fine also, but again habit and if my hand is already on the mouse it's just...or was just a simple click. (Me being lazy)
Thanks for the help and suggestions. If anyone else a suggestion, great!

Safari 6 "Images" search results don't show digital storage size info anymore - Fix?

I've now noticed, finally using Safari 6 more often now .... that when doing a google subject search (and selecting the "images" results versus the "search" results at the top header bar of Safari), that Safari 6 now only shows a huge listing the images themselves. If you slide your cursor over any of the images, a small black highlight bar appears under the image and shows its pixel dimensions (as in 000 x 000 pixel dimentional size), but Safari 6 shows no digital size info of the image in kb's (kilobites) or posibly MB's (megebites) .... like it used to in the past.
On previous Safari google "image" search results you saw the images, along with their pixel dimentional size (000 x 000) and their storage size ( 00kb / 00MB) listed in small text under the image.
Is there any way to set Safari to show not only the "images" dimensions (which it now does), but also to show the images over all storge size?
I know if you use the additional "search tools" selection text, that a sub set of selector menus appears, listing "any size", "any color", Any type" Any time" All results" .... but none of these will set "images" storage sizes (kb, MB, etc.). Even using a "larger size" only selection setting doesn't always guarantee that a larger size only seach results will be of larger pixel quality.
I often use Safari and google to find "comp" art images, etc. for rough art placement on projects, and it's now almost impossible to search through Safari's google "images" results without knowing what "quality size" the image can be found at.
Any thoughts on this fix?

Actually, as I forgot to mention .... is this above issue a Safari 6 or Google search result issue? I'm starting to think that it may be Google's "images" results that don't show the images storage size anymore, and possibly not Safari's problem.
Either way, is there any fix to this issue ... a plug-in, etc.?

Image size pop up menu missing in mail 6.2 (1499) window

When I attach a photo to a new email the image size pop up menu is missing and I can not resize, any idea how to fix this?
Thanks guys.

I had this problem and it was related to a Mail plugin (Daylite DMA).

Bottom "Image Size" selection is now missing...

Apple Mail, Leopard 10.5.4
Apple Mail used to have a selection box at the bottom of an email that has an image attached to it that said "Image Size:" with a pull-down next to it to change the image size.
After a restart last night, it is no longer there. I can still select the image and right-click to change the size, but was wondering why this is now missing in new email message windows.
I have looked at all of the settings, but for the life of me cannot find it.
Any help in getting this back would be much appreciated.
Thank you!!

how are you able to change the size by right-clicking on an image? I don't see that option. I do have that button at the bottom of the message composition window on both 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 machines BUT if I move the image inside the message to a new location this button disappears and there is no way to get it back. this looks like a bug to me. you can try upgrading to 10.5.5 and see if the button comes back. also, create a new account, set up Mail there and see if the button shows up.

Mail - image size popup menu missing

Using Mail 3.6, and the image size popup menu usually in the bottom right corner is missing. Any idea how to reactivate it?
Thanks!
YY

OK, have now experimented some more and it's a bit weird. If you open iPhoto, select the photo(s) you want to send and click on the email button to create the email from within iPhoto, the image size popup menu and message size indicators appear where they should at the bottom of the email window.
I then tried opening a new email message from within Mail (3.6) and using the Photo Browser to add the same photos to a test message. The image size popup menu and message size indicator appeared at the bottom of the email window again, but the image size menu could only affect the size of the last image in the message, no matter what was selected on the screen.
Perhaps that might help someone figure out what is going wrong.

Image size pop up menu missing in mail window

Tonight I was about to resize an attachment (a photo) in the Mail message window, but discovered that the image size pop up menu that used to appear at the bottom of the mail window is no longer there! I tried quitting Mail and launching it again, restarted the computer (a 2003 iMac G4 running Tiger), and repaired permissions. Any ideas on how I might get the image size pop up menu back again? Thanks.

Seems there must be something messed up on the HD.
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
The important part is to Repair the Disk before Repairing Permissions.

Image Size pop up menu missing in Mac Mail

Hi all,
I've just noticed a very frustrating problem with my mac mail which seems to have started recently, for no apparent reason. I have made no updates to my mac mail at all.
Basically when I attach and image to a new email, there used to be a pop up menu appear in the bottom right of the window where you can select the size of the image - small, medium, large or actual size.
This has randomly disappeared!
I cannot find any settings in the preferences for it to reappear. I have made no changes that would have caused this - at least not knowingly.
Any ideas as to how I can get the image size pop up menu to reappear when I am attaching images to a new email?

Well, it seems I have solved the problem. After searching all afternoon for a solution i thought i'd try the last thing on the list - quit mac mail and re open.
It worked!
The Image Size pop up menu now appears again when images are attached to the email.
Despite this, id still like to know what I did to remove it.
Any idea?

Photo image size for letterpress card

I'm trying to create a simple card in iPhoto 11 and am having some difficulties.
The various card themes have several layout options. Each option requires a certain size image (or sizes - some layouts are for more than one image).
How am I supposed to know what size of image will fit in each "layout box"?
Am I supposed to just play with the size of the image by resizing a JPG until it fits? Too time consuming - I've tried and I just can't get it to fit. Obviously I missing something simple if this is to be an "easy way to quickly make a card". I cannot find the required image size for the various layouts anywhere, so I'm clearly missing something.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1035 tells me recommended resolutions, but they are too big to fit into a card.
NOTE: I'm not talking about cropping an image or resizing it, which I can do.
I just need to know the size these card layouts require! Where is this information located, or what am I doing wrong?
Am I confusing DPI and pixels and resolution and ....?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Kurt

I'm not clear on whatyou are not clear on
You simply drag photos to the enpty photo frames in the template - there are move and pan controls if you want to change the position of the photo - you can reight click on a photo and select "fit to frame" in most themse if the photo ratios do not match teh frame ratios and yo are losing parts of the photo
the only "resolution" concern you have is that the photos are at least 180 DPI and if they are not you will get a warning
"Note: A yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point in the center may appear if the resolution is too low (below 180 DPI)."
The article you referenced gives Minimum pixel sizes for various uses - if your photo are that size or larger you are fine
The pixel size is shown in teh info window for a photo

New Image Size and Resolution in CC

Hi there.
Ok, maybe i'm missing something, but how do i reduce the ppi's of a given image in the Photoshop CC? Changing it in the image size, in the Resolution field, it acomplish nothing. It logs an entry in the History panel, but nothing changes in the picture. Did Adobe changed how this works, or it's just a bug?
Thank you.

Try setting to real-world measurement, like inches or cm.
Hi Charles, i think that change in cm/mm/in it's the only way to change the image ppi (in my case save/resample it to 108ppi). Can you confirm that this is correct?
Anyway when i go to image size (new panel of CC) the w/h are:
1) grey and always set in pixel with resample flagged.
2) always set in inches with resample NON-flagged (also if my ruler unit is in Pixel).
(and actually that is not new behavior. CS6 behaved same way when width and height were set to percent)
In CS6 and CC i never seen w/h in percent - where is my error?
Many thanks!

How to activate the Info object catalog in Business content

Hi,
While trying to activate the Info object catalog, I found that some of the info objects under this catalog was earlier activated by some other developer. I brought this catalog (0SALES_CHA01) over to the Business content activation panel ( with only 'necessary object settings ) and all the info objects that also came along were de-selected since I didn't want to install those again). When I tried to install these I get an error indicating that some of the info object in question are not already active.. and ultimately the catalog doesnt get activated , although more than half of its infoobjects are already active under the '0CHANOTASSIGNED' node.
Please let me know whether I can get only the Catalog activated without getting any existing activated info object merged or installing those which are not already activated.
Thanks
Arunava

Hello Arunava,
Just drag the infoobject catalog as u did earlier to the left in the bus cont installation screen with "only necessary object" option.
Dont try to deselect any object. Go ahead with the default options and install in background.
Now you can check for the available objects in the catalog. if you have some objects missing, and available in unassigned node,double click on the newly installed infoobject catalog, select the required objects (which are not yet assigned to this) from the left side and bring them to the right side.
this will make the unassigned objects assigned to the required catalog.
Hope it helps..
