Moving images around quickly

I normally import 1000+ images at a time (Wedding Photographer) When I'm sorting images I might want to move some images at end of browser right near the top - this seems very hit and miss with Aperture - sometime dragging doesn't work at all. Is there any easier way? I'm looking for an iView shortcut like control-L where I can instantly move images anywhere instantly.

Best I can think is to flag/keyword certain images to be moved up with a quick click or search. Wish they had the crosshair moving of files like in iView. The worst for resorting files is bridge...you have to get the file in just the right spot to get the folder to start scrolling up...big pain. Drag and drop or keyword looks like your best bet.

Moving Images Inside of Stack (not using context menu)

I have not had success moving images around in an expanded stack using the drag-and-drop functionality of the mouse. When I do try to drag an image within the stack, I get an outline of an image but when I try to drop to a new location within the stack, nothing happens.
Using the context menu to re-order a bunch of images is impractical.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't believe you are doing anything wrong. It appears the only thing you can do by mouse to a expanded stack, besides close it to the stack, is click the white box with the, i.e. [4 of 10] to make that image the top image.

Image quality when moving bitmaps around the stage

Hey all,
I am moving an image around the stage, and when it moves
quickly, it becomes distorted and displays what I can only refer to
as "banding". The image appear to be misaligned for some of the
frames that it is moving. I have tried a number of the usual fixes,
increasing the framerate, using a less complex image, etc. Nothing
seems to work. Any ideas? I feel like I have seen a lot of flash +
director movies that have fast motion, slick movement, etc and not
appear as what I end up with. Is this something that relates to a
screen refresh rate? Thanks for any ideas...

Sounds like good old vertical sync / tearing. This is really
not a fixable
issue. You can try slowing down the movement a little...
Someone, a while
ago, worked on creating an xtra that would honor the vertical
blanking
interval, but it never really worked properly I don't
believe. You can read
all kinds of prior posts about this by searching google
groups within
macromedia.director.* for 'vertical sync'

In Finder since 10.8.3 – delay when quickly moving items around

I think this is new since the Finder of OS X 10.8.3. It's kind of hard to explain, but here goes:
If one triest to move items around quickly after each other, there's like a second delay before you can do the second ”grab”.
Like this: click and drag any item (a file or folder) you have on the desktop, then quickly after releasing it click and drag that same file/folder again or another file and try to move it. There will be a delay before the comand responds. If moving several files quickly after each other this can be a bit irritating.
I don't think this was the case before, in 10.8.2 and earlier?

From the Finder menu bar, select
View > Show View Options
Is the box marked
Show Preview Column
checked? If not, check it.

Moving an image around in a drop zone in DVD studio

Hi there
I am pretty new to this DVD studio program, and I often am using templates to make my client DVDs. One major major problem I always come across is when I have to drop images in, they always dont fit properly, let me show you one for example
http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/8978/picture8vt.png
This always happens when I drop images in Final cut. Is there a way I can move my Image around that box?
Thanks in advance!
Message was edited by: blackout2008

if you click on a corner handle of the drop zone then press shift and drag the corner outwards, the drop zone will snap fit to match the format ratio of the image revealing the complete image
the reason you wont be able to move the image sideways is that there wont be any image to reveal-if the image is a different ratio to the drop zone, the image will fit inside the drop zone either by hieght or width
if the drope zones dont provide what you want-its very simple to create your own in a graphics application

Moving images between folders is SLOW

Moving images from one folder to another seems unusually slow, even if the folders are on the same hard drive.
Additionally, the thumbnails stay in the original folder until I restart LR. I vaguely recall something that caused the thumbnails to update very slowly, but right now I find it's quicker to just quit LR and restart it.
Special circumstances that might be contributing to the problem -
Source Folder -
18 GB of images from a wedding shoot. 6 multi GB cards, each with a few subfolders of their own.
I'm trying to move about 500 images at a time.
Destination Folders -
Nothing special there other than trying to get the 500 images into them in one move.

Turn on curmudgeon switch -
No, I won't find it is slow because LR is checking files and making sure all is okay. Other than a slowly moving progress bar, I have no idea what it is doing. There is only a hint of something being checked is that sometimes the progress bar moves slowly for about 1/3 of the length and then relatively quickly the rest of the way, which is when I hear the hard drive becoming more active. (Maybe that's the checking / moving phases.)
Turn off curmudgeon switch -
Now it makes sense that LR needs to make sure that a file of the same name does not exist in the destination folder. Maybe it needs to check database integrity in some way while moving the files. Maybe the undo-ability of the process causes need for special care.
My guess is that some of the database code for whatever it is doing is written poorly.
And there is still the problem that the thumbnails do not get refreshed. They are still visible in the old folder. How do I work around that?

Moving images doesnt update links in topics

RH8 HTML.
I moved some images around, renamed the folder containing them (all in RH). But the topics that use those images still hold the old link, and wont update to where the folder where the iamges are stored so all the links are dead. Is there a way to force a re-scan or something to make the topics look for the new location of the images, or do I have to change the paths manually in each topic where the links are broken?
I would have thought that when moving images in RH it would update paths in topics where those images are used so that it wouldnt have to be done manually.

Obviously those images were showing in Project Manager before you started moving the topics around, RH has always reworked the path reliably. It does not if you move them in Windows Explorer but you say that is not what you did.
If you right click an image and select Properties, you can see Used In. Is that blank?
Create a test project and create some folders and topics with images. Move things around and check it all works as it should.
Post back how that goes.

Needing help with moving pictures around

I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
picture around the document window. The book say "place the
insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks Jical

Nadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
screen”
Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
the page.
In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
properties dialog.
Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
That is what you will really need to understand before you
can really get proficient at web design.
At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
“contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
defined around your content.
Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.
That’s why this forum has more than 91,000 posts…

Moving Images in Grid View

I can't for the life of me move individual images or groups of images around freely in grid view. The tutorial says to drag from the center of a thumbnail and drag it to the location you want it. I tried that and it just springs back to where it came from. I would like to randomly move images around in grid view and then number and rename. Any help is much appreciated

I disagree. My point is that one should not have to keep in mind an underlying computing model in order to know when you can and can't sort.
In general (not a Lightroom point), as I'm primarily a PC user I'm used to climbing learning curves, but I love the transparency of Macs when I do use them.
That sorting isn't available in Lightroom just because I have an empty sub-folder makes no sense from the photographer's viewpoint.
It's not a big deal, but the sorting constraints are a clumsy rough edge in largely excellent UI.

Can the row ID number be locked when moving task around in the schedule?

I have a schedule in which I want to move row ID 9 to row ID 5; but do NOT want the row ID of 9 to change to 5. I want to keep original row ID's upon moving them around in my schedule. Is this possible? If yes, how?
Thank you

Are you trying to do this with a BizTalk app? 2000/2002?

How do i take a image of a wine glass and wrap a image around it in indesign cs6

How do i take and image of a wine glass and wrap another image around it!

InDesign isn't the correct application for such a manipulation.
If the "image of a wine glass" is a 2-dimensional image, you may be able to create the illusion of something wrapped around it in Photoshop, but there won't be any automatic solutions. Fundamentally, what you're proposing is a function of 3-D modeling.

Problems moving files around in finder

Does anyone else have the same problem I do when moving files around in finder. It almost always says you do not have sufficient access privileges and each time I have to go to the destination folder info box and change access permissions. It is now getting really annoying. At work I can not copy files off my laptop to the network as again it says I do not have permission though if I log on from a machine using tiger I can move the files easily. Moving files to my Lacie drive causes the same problem. If anyone out there has and easy fix or explanation I would be grateful

I decided to go the long way and move everything where I wanted it to be. I moved everything around in Bridge, I then synchronized the folder to reflect how it should. So far so good!
Thank you all for your help and interest, I really appreciate everything!
I do have one more question now, I will also start a new thread to see what else I can get, but again thank you!
I have syncroniced the folder after making the changes, and due to the problem I was having last time I did it again just to double check. It said there were over2k photos missing so I clicked sync, let it do its thing. And just to tripple check I ran it again and it is saying the same thing, missing over 2k photos. What does this mean?

Moving files around in LR5

I have imported everything from my external hard drive in LR5 so I can access all of my photos and move them around to organize them.
I started the organization process and moved files around in different folders via LR5 and I am happy with that.
I then noticed when I looked at the folders that should now be empty on my hard drive (viewing via Finder) the photos that I have moved in LR5 are still where they originally were when I look at the hard drive in Finder.
I want the organization that I did in LR5 to be exactly the same when I look at the files and folders on said hard drive in Finder.
I hope this makes sense and I hope someone out there is able to help me.
Thanks in advance!

Lr3.5 windows_7 64bit: Problem moving images in Library collections

I am ruhnning Windows &7 Pro, 64 bit and I'm experiencing inconsistant behavior in Lightroom 3.5 with regard to moving images within collections. When I try to move an image, to place it in the order inwhich I would like view the sequence, the image is placed at the end of the sequence no matter where I place it initially. I've tried the filmstrip view and the grid view and it happens in both. I recall doing this without problems previously however it was in the imported Library not a collection, but why would this be different?? One still needs to reorder images in collections. I've made certian to change the "sort" option to user each time I've tried to do this. Any Ideas? Thanks

'User order' has some surprises. When it works it can be difficult to appreciate what differs from when it doesn't. Julianne Kost video is a good starting point on what will and won't work with a little on why http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/custom-sort-orders/ . If collections and several folders are involved the work round to meet your goals may include a combination of moves, copies and renaming files (export and re-import even) to create an alphanumeric sort. The 'dumping' at the end of the sequence manifests itself in other situations related to the order status in force at the point when you start moving files. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4026355#4026355 which came down to making sure the sort starting point is appropriate
Good luck
