Multiple images become locked horizonally instead of mounting contiguously

After recently reinstalling CS5 and I now place a group of image files on screen, they become locked together horizontally instead of mounting contiguously slightly overlapped diagonally as before, so what did I miss indicating in PS preferences (?) to get back to where I was previously before reinstalling?

Hello and Welcome!
I believe you want to go back to floating windows? You are going to want to go to Windows > and uncheck the Application Frame. This enables all the windows to floating windows.
To disable to tab behavior:
Go to Preferences > Interface
This opens the Interface preferences dialog box. Make sure the "Open documents as tabs" is unchecked.
Please post back if you have any questions. I hope that helps.

You SHOULD be able to apply batch changes just by selecting multiple images

Don't get me wrong, i love lift/stamp. It's very helpful.
BUT, I really hate the fact that in Aperture you can't just drag-select a group of images and then either apply adjustments to all of them, or –more often– keywords.
Why does Aperture keep you from doing this?
At the very least, you should have the OPTION in PREFS to do this. Or not.

I'm sorry you are having difficulty.
It's simple: you select multiple images, right?. One has a thick white border and the others have thin ones. But, even though you have multiple images selected, if you input keywords, or other metadata, or an adjustment from the Inspector, it only applies to the "primary" image.
There should be an option to have that be the case... OR, if you want, to apply whatever adjustment from the INSPECTOR you choose... and have that be applied to those multiple images.
"...why would anyone be likely to want to see each single adjustment step applied to a large number of images before settling on the preferred combination?"
Because everyone's not you.
I just shot 100+ table tops that were VERY similar lighting / angles / etc. And I needed to comp them out for the client ASAP. The technique I described would've saved me a lot of time. Instead I had to do ONE image of the mini-batches, and then lift/stamp the rest. When it would've been so much easier for me to drag-select the 8, or 15 in a group, and assign them all keywords at the same time, and do some adjustments. Bam. Quicker.
Oh, and per the "what is the universe" question? You don't have to look any further than Apple's own operating system to see this "crazy" and "unique" technique in action: go to FINDER, select multiple items of folder (drag around them), and then CTRL-Click and choose a label color. Viola! ALL the items become that color.
Like I said, I'm only suggesting Apple provide the OPTION of working this way. And it IS the norm in most operating system / program environments.
In fact, watch the Lynda.com vid on Aperture 3: the MetaData portion, the guy drag-selects a bunch of images and says "...now, you'd THINK you could just enter some keywords for these similar images and have them stick... you'd be wrong. You have to use lift/stamp for that. For some odd reason."

How do I stop iWeb outputting multiple image files? It makes my site slow!

I'm a professional web designer (but don't let that put you off) who uses Dreamweaver and also handcodes HTML & CSS websites at work on a PC, but having got a new Mac for home use I thought I'd give iWeb a go for a personal site hosted on .Mac, showcasing my music and film efforts, that I didn't want to have to think about coding.
I've built a short little site using the attractive 'Travel' theme, just 5 or 6 pages so far, and have not yet added any multimedia content. However, it seemed to take ages to upload it when I published it to .Mac. So then I went to view it, and it was soooo sloooow to download each page, even on my 4mb cable connection. I know it's a fairly graphically-rich theme, but still!
I noticed that it was redrawing the navigation menu each time... and upon close inspection of the HTML code using Safari's 'View Source' to my horror I found out that that each page has a seperate '_files' folder that contains multiple versions of files that are also used in other pages - including navigation buttons and background images. I also saw that every element has styling applied to it 'inline' in the code, rather than in a single seperate style-sheet.
To confirm this I published it to a folder on my hard drive and checked it all out. What a mess!
As a WYSIWYG web page editor iWeb is great but it's an undisputable fact that the HTML markup and CSS code it produces is absolutely appaling. What's worse though is that it also renders whole swaithes of text as images and that it does create seperate folders for each pages content including images, CSS code and navigation buttons - so even though the same images and code are used throughout the site for the background and buttons and layout, they are written out as seperate files and have to be reloaded with every page!!!
This means that the .Mac server must be getting hammered and webpages are very slow to download and slow to render in Safari - it's almost like dialup when I'm viewing my iWebsite, and like I said, I've got a 4mb cable connection!
Looking at the code iWeb produces, it is good to see that tables are not used for layout, and that's one thing in its favour. But surely the whole point of providing 'themed' templates for users is that the same content is used across the site and therefore doesn't need to be created multiple times - one of the benefits of using CSS stylesheets. Why doesn't iWeb create a single stylesheet and make efficient use of repeated images instead of creating multiple instances of the same file for each page?
Perhaps there is a setting somewhere I've missed. If so, let me know someone!
It is a great WYSIWYG editor, but behind the scenes it's not efficient, it's not clean and simple and it's certainly not attractive - and I'm surprised at that coming from Apple! I know iWeb is a great tool for beginners and I'm a picky professional, but if I was Joe Public First Time Web Designer I'd be very annoyed by this.
Clean it up and sort it out Mr Jobs!
PS: Also, where does iWeb store the website whilst it's in production? I can't find it anywhere?

Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!
Download iWebBackup Here
You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.

Can you edit multiple images from a PDF in photoshop?

I scan a lot of old publications with images and drawings. The images are in greyscale, but my scanner produces better results set to color. As such, I have to convert the images to greyscale in Photoshop from Acrobat. I have several PS actions that make this process easier, but I wish there was a way to select multiple images from a page or PDF file and run the actions on them (a batch) instead of one at a time. Is there? Or perhaps another method than what I am doing?

I recommend that you scan first, save as TIFF, do any desired correction, and only then make PDFs. Scanning direct to PDFs is great for simple uncomplicated workflows, but a liability when correction is needed.

Is there a way to add multiple images at the same time to Keynote 6.0?

I just brought keynote after searching online about adding multiple images to a presentation all in one go - I couldn't do this on the powerpoint version I was using but there were multiple references on google to being able to do this on keynote. I purchased it and now can't get it to work! Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Do you mean like dragging in multiple images and having one image go on each slide? If so, you just drag the images into the Slide List on the left instead of onto the slide. From this prior post.

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?

Multiple images of the same file on one page

How do I create multiple images of the same file on one page? For example, I've got an image that I could fit 6 of on one page, and would like to print it that way instead of printing it on 6 individual pieces of paper.

Are you attempting to do this in Adobe Workspaces? Or are you looking for software that will do it?
If the former, you could insert the image into a Buzzword document six times. Not exactly elegant, but it might do the trick.

How do use the same crop for multiple images.

I have a number of images that I want to use the same crop on. Instead of go through the whole slow process for each image is there a way to use the same crop for all of the images?
And in iPhoto there was a way to copy the adjustment settings to multiple images, I can't see how to do that in aperture.

Use the "Lift&Stamp" tool:
Crop one image.
Lift the crop using the "Lift" tool.
Select the other images.
Stamp the crop adjustment to all of them.
But caution: By default "Lift" will copy all Metadata tags and all adjustments, but the gps data. If you only want to transfer the cropping rectangle, deselect all lifted items but the crop adjustment before stamping.

Multiple image upload CRASH!!! but works with simple image upload

I'm getting MAD.
I'm using php and GD
While the simple image and re size works like a charm, the multiple image upload or the multiple file upload have a strange behavior.
It opens the pop-up with flash, then eventually shows me files or thumbnails but when I try to up load I just wait and get the typical "system becoming unstable" flash error.
As I can see the directory is always generated (I've tried also to put a static directory) but after stargin the upload the flash uploader just crashes and no result.
Any help would be really appreciated

Hi Fonzie,
as the folder is getting created, the issue you´re having is not related to wrong folder permission - it´s something else...
As I wrote before, che common upload and resize function works perfectly
this one works perfectly, because it´s just one file to upload and to process, wheras doing that with multiple files might collide with some settings on your server
So for sure it's not a simple issue as the max filesize
Are you sure ? Did you check the current "max_upload_filesize" setting ? As long you don´t check it, you can´t know :-)
As a general rule of thumb, it´s important to be aware of the fact that uploading & resizing images on the server might collide with several PHP settings -- and the more images you upload and resize in one swoop, the closer you´re getting to these limits respectively might even be exceeding them. The following "directives" are those which have an effect on whether your image/file upload & processing will work or not:
- "max_upload_filesize" :: is sometimes set to just 8 MB on a shared hosting, sometimes 16 MB, sometimes more. This setting will affect the file upload procedure only
- "set_time_limit" (e.g. 30 seconds) :: if the execution time of a script exceeds this limit for whatever reason, the server simply shuts it down without letting you (respectively the flash uploader) know it´s been shut down. This *might* be the reason why ADDT´s flash uploader hangs respectively returns that error message after some time, because it´s waiting for some response from the server which never comes.
- "memory_limit" (e.g. 8 MB) :: this directive is a sort of "allocated server RAM" for your account, and it´s in particular the image resizing process which will grab more or less memory resources -- the higher the the resizing factor is, the more RAM is spent, and the more images are getting resized in one swoop, the worser it gets.
However, all these PHP directives can be changed, and your host might even be so courteous to increase the currently defined values of those abovementioned directives for you -- and that´s what I´m suggesting at this point.
Cheers

How to move multiple images in lr at one time from one subfolder to the next?

How would i accomplish this procedure in lr5. I know you can click on an image and drag it to the target folder. But for multiple images this is the ? Thanks!!

Same as you would do it in your operating system.
You select multiple images (click, ctrl-click, ctrl-click, etc., or click on one image and then shift-click on another image to select the entire sequence) and then drag.
Of course, you might also want to simplify your life and develop a workflow where you don't have to move photos from here to there by using keywords instead of folders to organize.

Multiple image upload with save to database problem

I am developing some backend work for a client, and we recently used the Multiple image upload with save to database wizard without a problem. A few days later, we noticed that we could only upload a single file at a time - it seems that the coding is no longer able to access the flash part of this and is using the javasript function instead. I know the web hosting company has made some changes on the server, and I did some reearch and it seems that there could be an issue with Flash 10, but has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Jeremy

Thank you for the responses. I have already updated awhile ago, so I am wondering what happened. Not sure if during the server update, some files were replaced (unless I totally forgot to update to 1.0.1 on this site). So I reinstalled 1.0.1, deleted the includes folder from the server and uploaded my includes folder and it now works again.
Again, thanks for the help.

When selecting multiple images in LR 5.2 on Mac, how do I delete all selected photos?

Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:
Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.
When selecting multiple images in LR 5.2 RC on my Mac, using the Filmstrip view, how do I delete all selected files using a shortcut (as opposed to the right-click context-menu > remove selected photos)? Details: Using backspace asks me if I want to delete it, I choose from disk, but it just deletes individual photos, so if I have 3 selected, I need to do this 3 times.

Many users (including me) will thank you for saving us the trouble of looking for this description in the manual. Seriously!
However, if something performs unexpectedly, if it's not a bug, it's at least a user-inconvenience.
When an unexpected result like this occurs in a product, often the documentation writer is given the task of writing the workaround into the docs. That's not a great way to fix bugs permanently, even if it does help in the short term. So, it's probably a good idea to point to where in the documentation it seems that the product-performance problem is smoothed over, when filing the report/request.
Feature enhancement requests and bugs are filed the same way. And, developers do listen to requests. Many features in many Adobe products originated in feature requests. However, product managers and, financial-management folks above them, who have some power to decide where to expend resources, set the priorities. Adobe's new subscription model is supposed to release some of the pressure on developers to meet a new release deadline every-so-often, where a whole bunch of product improvements is revealed, and instead, under the idea of making constant improvements available through more-frequent updates, users will get results sooner.

As far as I know, this is not a bug, this is a feature of Lightroom (although I can't explain why anyone would want Lightroom to operate this way). You can find text in the Lightroom Manual that clearly explains tha operations performed on selection of photos in the Filmstrip is different than the same operation performed on photos selected in the Grid.

Remove adjustment from multiple images?

I have multiple images where I used Sharpen instead of Edge Sharpen. I know I can Lift & Stamp the Edge Sharpen adjustment to multiple images but I can't seem to find a way to remove the Sharpen adjustment from all of them first. Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks

I can add the other keyword using your techniqe, but how do I get rid of the wrong keyword without interfering with the other keywords I have already set for the images?
Keywords are metadata, not adjustments.
If you want to add or remove keywords to multiple images, without interfering with the keywords that are already set, I'd suggest to configurekeyword sets and to use the keyword controls:
For example, after designing a keyword set"Himmel" (sky) I can add or remove one of the keywords for all selected images by simply pressing a button in the keywords panel or using a key combination: for example ⌥6 to add the keyword "Halo" to all images, ⇧⌥6 to remove it from all currently selected images.
But the question is, how to remove one adjustment from multiple images, and that seems to be behaving buggy in Aperture 3.4.1, at least on my system: If I try to add an adjustment to (or remove from) multiple images, only the primary selection will be modified - and yes "Primary only is disabled ).
For example: Trying to add "Sepia Tone" to four images: I see the same on two MBPs and on my iMac with Aperture 3.4.1.

Aperture cannot add GPS data to multiple images at the same time

I am new to Aperture and have been using it for a week or so now. Today I tried to add GPS data to a number of images and found out, it appears Aperture can only add GPS data to one image at the time. When I select multiple images to add the GPS data to, it just doesn't do anything. It leaves the GPS data blank.
Here is what I do:
From the Info-tab I select "GPS" from the drop down menu
At the bottom of the info tab I show the map
In the map's search box I enter the location I want to assign to the photo(s)
From the resulting drop down menu I select the locatiion I want and press the "assign to location" button
As long as I choose only a single image, this works fine and the GPS Data is added. Not so when I select more than a single image. After pressing the "assign to location" button it seems as if the GPS data is added (there is no message indicating otherwise), but the GPS data in the selected images is blank.
What am I doing wrong ?
Additional info
I have been testing this a bit more and the behavior is even more strange: When you select multiple images in Aperture, they get a thin white border, except the one that you touch last (normally the last image of the selection) that will have a thicker border around it. It appears that, when selecting multiple images, the GPS data is ONLY assigned to the photo in the selected setthat has the thicker border (?????)
Message was edited by: dinky2

Rereading your post, I think the problem is, that you are assigning the location from the Info panel and not from the Metadata menu. The Info panel and the Metadata menu ar behaving differently.
The Info panel will always only affect the primary selection, but the Metadata menu will work on all selected images (unless "Primary only" is checked). So , if you want to assign your location to multiple images, use "Metadata > Assign location" instead of the little map in the "Info" panel.
Or use the "Places" view. Then you can drag all images at once to the same pin on the map.

Keywording multiple images

Aperture is making me crazy. As soon as I ressolve on problem (usually with a workaround rather than a solution) another one pops up. Today it's about keywording multiple images.
The manual says I can select a group of images and drag a keyword from the Keyword HUD to apply it to all of the images. But, it doesn't happen. I'm looking at 500 or so images that need multiple keywords applied to them all, but Aperture will only apply the keyword to one image no matter how many I have selected. Surely this cannot be right, but no matter what I do I seem to be able to apply a keyword to only one image at a time.
I purely hat this application. Hate, hate, hate, hate. Been trying to develop a usable workflow for weeks and it's just not happening.

Well, I have a bunch of cameras, and I also do photo restorations (typically pre 1900) for local families out here in the wilderness. The camera that is on my hip all day is just a little Canon A1100 IS, and the JPEGs it produces rarely need anything that Aperture can't handle. I have a couple of Nikons that I use locally, but the really problematic camera that I use a lot is a Fuji HS10. I'm too old to be lugging lenses and heavy bodies up and down mountains, and I frequently find myself on a ledge with a 100 to 1000 foot drop off and not enough room to put both feet side by side. The camera makes a decent picture, but noise is an issue as is lens correction.
The workflow from this camera that I would prefer to use is that I would like to import RAW images directly from the camera into Aperture, naming the project on import. Can't do that because while Adobe supports RAW from this camera, Apple doesn't. So I copy the images from the card to the desktop and run them through DNG Converter.
Then I import into Aperture as a project.
At this point I would prefer to set the white balance in Aperture and open as a TIFF in Camera RAW for Lens Correction and Noise Reduction. Maybe some color correction and exposure stuff too, but that could as easily be done in Aperture.
Then into Photoshop for more accurate color correction, sharpening and whatever else is necessary. Then I'd like to save it back into Aperture as a TIFF and have Aperture automagically select the last edited version in the stack as the pick and keep the stack closed so the last edited version is all I ever see.
Unfortunately, this breaks down in several places. The biggest is that if I have PS open the TIFF in Camera Raw it breaks the connection to the file in Aperture, so when I save out of Photoshop it is treated as a Save As. Apple appears to insist on a .tiff extension while Adobe really wants a .tif extension. I can tell PS to not use any extension, but then I have to remember to add the .tiff manually, and that is a pain and I always forget. Not an option.
So, what I do is import the DNG, set the white balance in Aperture and then run the Dfine (hope I spelled that right) plug-in which saves out as a TIFF. Then I open in Photoshop and do the lens correction (which does not work quite as well with the available lens profile as Camera Raw does) and do whatever else is needed in Photoshop.
But, aside from not being able to use Camera RAW it's really the little things that make me crazy. Always having to remember to do a CMD\ to set the most recently edited version as the pick is something I need to do, but forget at least half the time. Also having to close the stack every time. I have too much to do, and I ought to have an option to do that automagically IMHO. Those little details help prevent screw ups and keep me focused on images instead of filing. I am a very poor file clerk. That's what software is for.
