Moving images within projects - random placement

I have tried to move images within a project, slotting them in a different order than shot. All of a sudden the images are not going where directed - they appear to be placed at random within the project. This is driving me crazy now.
Has anyone else experienced this? Retarting doesn't seem to help. Maybe I need to shut down....

Thanks for your reply. I guess I mistakenly thought that if you created an album within a project, any images placed in the album would also become part of the project. So what's the best way to sub-divide or categorize images within a project? For example, if I have a project called "architecture" and within that project I have images of "commercial" and "residential".
I thought if I had a project called "architecture" and inside that I put two albums called "commercial" and "residential", I could drag groups of images into the albums and still see all images by viewing the project.
Thanks again,
Andrew

Moving images within Grid View in LR3beta2

Frustrated. In LR3Beta1 I could manually move and place images within Grid View or from the slide view at bottom for purposes of sorting "similar subject" content within a specified Text/Attribute naming. All of this was accomplished from the Parent folder, with no need for drilling down the Tree.
Now, since installing LR3Beta2 I can no longer manually move (sort) within Grid View...unless I am in the lower most folder of the tree. This change is not practical since a tree folder may not match the relevance of my specified Text/Attributes.
Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong, or is the ability to manually sort from Parent folder no longer an option?

Here's an example of how I catalog/label/sort my images...
Architectural images project - 3 locations of shootng, 4 areas of focus: Doors, Windows, Facades, Walls
So, I may have 20 images w/both a door and a facade in the shot, 20 images with a window and a door, etc. I prefer to Keyword all of the images as Architectural, and then Keyword those applicable to Doors, Windows, Facades, Walls, etc.
Now, suppose those all go into a folder labeled Architecture.
The next week I get an assignment for Urban settings. It may include shops, churches, etc. However, within those, I decide to Keyword (where appropriate) Doors, Windows, Churches, Shops, etc. That project goes into a folder labeled Urban Settings.
Now, let's say I have a request specifically for "Doors". Now, those Doors are spread across multiple folders at this point so I have no opportunity to manually sort all of the doors my similar content if they fall into multiple folders. Doesn't matter that I have pulled up Doors through Text, I still cannot sort them by similar style, shape, color, etc since they are spread across multiple folders.
In the 1st beta, I could slice and dice a hundred ways to arrive at a final view and then...sort those so that they always appeared that way whenever I called them up again. Didn't matter that they were in multiple folders. That was extremely useful and...sweet.
Any ideas?

Best practice for moving images between projects?

Hey all,
I have a project that has an album inside of it. I want to move the album, containing all of the photographs to a new project. If I drag the photos individually to the new project it moves them successfully although they now don't belong to an album in their new project. If I drag the album itself it moves the album and photographs but leaves the photos in the original project as well.
Does anyone have some best practice ideas for this scenario?
Thanks in advance for any help!

As you have discovered if the drop target is the project the images move projects. If the drop target is an album the images show up in the album but do not actually move anywhere. Moving albums does nothing to move masters. So...
Select all of the images in the album. Drag them to the new project and then drag the album to the new project. Simple enough.

Moving images within a catalogue

I've noticed a phenomenon where, when re-ordering a group of images within a catalogue, LR2 (and 2.2) moves the last photo in the group to the front of the group. It's very time consuming to fix.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Cheers
Kevin

That's the problem...
I actually *want* to put them in custom order (it happens sometimes that the cameras which shoot a wedding are out of time sync). It's when I do this that the problem occurs. Never happened pre Version 2.
Thanks for the suggestion, tho!

Moving images within a collection?

Having just watched Julieanne K's tutorial re making a Blurb book, she began with her images in a story order. How does one move images within a collection to an order different from how they were uploaded or taken? I guess it is simple, but I cannot seem to do it.

Actually, you don't have to select User Order. In Library mode, view the grid and simply drag and drop the thumbnails into the order you want, and that prompt will automatically change to User Order from whatever order it was in before.

Moving images within Book cells?

Is there a way to position images within the book template cells? Understanding that the cells are fixed is there a way to move an image around within those boundaries? It appears when I resize an image within the cell it does so uniformly and from the center and is locked there. Am I missing something? We should be able to position the image inside the borders.

Hi Jay,
when I do not zoom-to-fill my usual 3:2-ratio images get positioned in the middle of a book cell.
Then I can drag them ad libitum to the right or left within that cell.
When zoomed you can still drag the exact portion shown around within the cell.
But that is the only tiny bit of freedom I have discovered so far, with these non-modifiable templates of LR4b#1.
Cell padding is uniformly from each end.
I just hope that general feedback had been drastic enough so that Adobe will soon release LR4b#2 with modifiable templates / page sizes / cell sizes / image borders / text boxes etc.
Otherwise they might not receive much more feedback about the book module. I won't cash out for a book design that does not suit me, so no experiences with upload/export and the rest.

Moving images within HTML

Hi there everyone,
I'm rather new to Java and I'm trying to get an image in a topframe to move when i resize the browser to the right (the image must shift then to the right).
Any help would be great.
Greetz,
Demigod

if you're using html, then when you place the image make it spaced from the right, or define location with percentage of screen.

Moving images from project to project

Every time I try to MOVE an image from one project to another project, it COPIES it instead. That's not what the manual says should happen. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks, Fran

Welcome to the list. Have you read the [Help & Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] section yet?
The only way you would be coping from project to project is if you were holding down the option key while you dragged the image.
If that's not the case then it really sounds like either the source or destination (or both) are other than projects. Remember projects are the yellow file box looking things.

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

Keeping REJECTED IMAGES within it's own project

I realize that "9" x's out an image and places it in the Library Albums "Rejected Folder", but this holds all the rejected images from all projects. Is there a way to keep rejected images within it's OWN' project, without having to "copy" them from the Library?
I would like to click on a project and immediately see the "rejected folder" within it containing those images specific to that project.
Thanks!

Aperture already works the way you want it to. "Rejected" is just another rating. Like all ratings, it doesn't move your image from its Project. (You can make a Smart Folder to show images rated as "rejected" -- just like you can create a Smart Folder for any rating (or series of ratings).) To see rejected images in a Project just press "{Control}+8". This and other filter short-cuts are built in Aperture. Click the magnifying glass icon inside the search field in top border of the Browser to see them.

Moving a selection of images within a folder

I would like to move a selection of images within the same folder. I have done this before with a drag and drop but it doesn't want to work today. Anyone have a suggestion. I have and keywords for filters but wanted to set up in time/day order using 2 different cameras.
thanks, Jan

fotobuffflorida wrote:... but wanted to set up in time/day order using 2 different cameras.
The easier way to do this, instead of moving photos around manually, is to adjust the time on one of the cameras, and voila, your photos are in order.
Select the desired photos and then choose Photo->Edit Capture Time, and insert the proper time adjustment between the two cameras.

Automatically place images within multiple InDesign documents

I work for a publishing company of agricultural trade magazines and work on few titles each month. We are trying to streamline our production procedures and previous company I worked for had a script they used to place images within text pages by searching for the file name, however there were some limitations with this script (it would only work within 1 InDesign document and only within 1 InDesign story at a time). The company I am with now breaks out each editorial story into separate InDesign files and we place image boxes when the display ads are going to go. For our purposes now, I am looking for a script that, once all of the image boxes were tagged with the image file names, could search between multiple InDesign documents in a folder and automatically place all the images for us. Is anything like this available or able to be created? If so, would it have the capacity to search between multiple InDesign documents and search the entire document for the image file names? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kasyan,
They were tagged using a program called Pathways created by a computer programmer the company used at the time. The issues that I was working on were annual Buyers' Guides so they were mainly just listings and inline graphics. The kinds of issues I work on now are monthly issue with various stories and no inline graphics, but display advertisements. And each story is created and laid out in a separate InDesign document. So I would need a script that can search an entire group of documents for file names and/or image boxes instead of just in one story in one document for inline graphics. (sorry if this is confusing).
I currently do not have a script to work from and am looking for something new that can be used to save use the time of placing every ad manually.
Thanks for your help and feedback!

Is it possible to place images within Muse slideshow captions?

I want to caption some headshots- in a slideshow - with a bit of written blurb, plus logo images for the companies they've worked for.
Thank you!

You should be able to add images to a slideshow's caption just like you would wrap text around an image in a text frame as described here - http://www.adobekb.com/typography_pt3.html.
As soon you place an image within the caption, you would notice that it would be placed as an Inline element and the Wrap panel would be activated in order to move the image around the text.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Library corruption after moving images from one project to another.

Hi,
I have Aperture 1.5 running on a PowerMac G5. I'm using an external disk (via FW800) for the library. The disk catalog has no problems.
Today I want to reduce the number of projects and move a few images between projects. There is one project with a few hundred files where I wanted to move a large subset to another project. I selected the images in the source project and dragged them onto the other project. Some processing happened and after a few seconds I got a dialog which said that some problem with the library happened and that I have to quit Aperture and restart Aperture with control-shift-option. There was only an okay button and the next (same dialog) appeared... and again/again... Finally I was able to quit Aperture and restart Aperture.
After restarting Aperture several images in the source project were grey with a question mark and a link icon in the lower left.
Looks like Aperture cannot move images reliably between projects. That would be a huge bug.
Regards,
Rainer Joswig

Hi Rainer,
Have you tried again to rebuild your Library
(Option/CMD on relaunch)? THis might fix the grey
images in the souce location. Where the images which
were dragged to the other Project OK? What hapens if
you make an adjustment on one of the grey images?
Does it render the thumbnail?
Also, check you task manager to make sure it's still
not trying to render the thumbnails. Though, it's
most likely not the case given the question mark on
the image.
I did the library rebuild now. The problems seem to have gone.
Then I also copied a few more pictures between projects. So far
the problem has not shown again.
Best Regards,
Rainer Joswig
