Multiple Offline Images in PSE 10 Mac

Hi there,
I am using PSE 10 on Mac, never used prior versions so no risk of mix up there.
I have always added my photos using the Organizer, and backed up my catalog to an external drive.
Have never deleted or moved photos using anything other than the Organizer.
Yet I open organizer and a HUGE proportion of my files have a red circle in the corner flagging them as Offline. My backup drive is still connected, and obviously the hard drive is still there, so why would it think files are offline? More importantly, how do I bring them "online" into my catalog and keep them there so they are always available and located where PSE thinks they should be? I don't want to risk losing any so I haven't yet restored from backup or repeated backup yet.
Help!

Barbara,
Thanks for the information about the SD card. But as for the DVD I created, it WAS done in PSE6 -- through the Burn DVD command in Bridge, which I assume is there expressly to provide a way of burning JPEGs onto a DVD. The DVD that resulted did display correctly on my TV -- but as I said, only for the images straight out of the camera, not the ones modified in PSE6. I will try using iDVD, but I'm not clear why the result would be any different.

How to export in Organizer PSE 9 - Mac

How to export one or multiple images from PSE 9 Organizer (Mac)?
I want to set the size and export to a folder or desktop

Thanks Barbara, I assumed it would be the same as Windows.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WSFF2996DE-8185-4c18-B961-ED4E89458E80 _WIN.html
Perhaps try the Editor top menu:
File > Process Multiple Files
Then choose an output folder on your hard drive or CD/DVD etc.
Otherwise use iPhoto:
File -> Export, Kind: Original etc.

Batch edit date & time in PSE 8 Mac/Bridge

OK, maybe it's jet lag. I uploaded all my vacation photos, and realized I had forgotten to adjust camera date/timezone. I remember that earlier versions of PSE Windows had the ability to batch adjust the date/time shot, but I can't find it in Bridge CS4 or PSE 8 Mac. I really don't want to do it manually for a few hundred photos. Is the capability hiding in there somewhere? thx

Thanks, Barbara. One of the utilities you mentioned -- PhotoInfo -- does have a very easy batch mode for date/time change. And, of course, so does iPhoto.
Unfortunately, they both run afoul of another detail: there are multiple date/time stamps stored in a JPG. iPhoto and PhotoInfo both read/write the CreateDate XMP metadata field, but Bridge and PSE appear to base "Date Created" on the value stored in the DateTimeOriginal EXIF field. I haven't tried GraphicConverter yet, nor EXIFtool, which definitely handles all timestamps but is command-line only. I have some tools on the Windows side that I'll try first.

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac?

Do I need to get a separate program to burn multiples copies of a DVD on Mac, and not have the copies separate into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS? I made a series of lesson plans on iMovie. When it opens on the original disk, it goes right to my music and intro menu. When I try to burn it to a new DVD, it shows up as AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. It does not open at all. Please advise.
Thanks,
Chris

Does the disk image that you created from the previously burned iDVD project look like this?
If so you don't copy any part of it to a blank DVD. You open Disk Utility and select it like I do in this screenshot:
insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button.

How to open multipage tiff images in PSE 7

When I open a pdf file with multiple pages, each page is viewed as a thumbnail. But I can't seem to open a file containing multiple tiff images. How do I do this with PSE 7? Thanks.

Here are a couple of links about multi page tiffs in photoshop or elements.

Is this REALLY a DAM?! Cannot locate offline images!!

The first thing I expect from a Digital Asset manager is that it can manage my Digital Assets ;-)
My Digital assets happen to be a lot of slides which I scanned in and which I keep on DVD's.
All files are just in the root of my DVD, no use sorting them in subfolders, they're just burned chronologically.
When I import my digital assets in Lightroom (keeping them in the original place), ALL my pictures on all my dvd's end up in ONE very big folder, named G:, the letter of my diskdrive.
Someone suggested: yes, but you can rename your folder after import to the volumename of your DVD (that's exactly what I would like to be the result of an import). Alas, you can't. First of all, if you try that, you don't rename the volume you just imported, you rename the name of the folder which keeps ALL of the foto's: All your pictures on All your DVD's seem to end up in the folder 'Slides078' or whatever you renamed G: to. And secondly, in no time Ligtroom renames the folder back to G:!
Another suggestion I keep seeing is: when you click the questionmark of an offline image, you get to see the original location as 'Foldername on Volumes\Volumename'. Again, I don't. All I get to see is: original location: "G:\filename"! I'm using Windows Vista; maybe, as someone suggested, it's an OS problem, and is the MAC version working fine...
I cannot figure out one way to get the Volumename of my DVD's (which I've written down on my DVD's, so that I can quickly find them) into Lightroom.
In other words, when I try to locate my offline images, all Lightroom is willing to tell me is: "This image is located on one of your many DVD's or CD's. Try to find it yourself, you lazy photographer!'
Do I really have to buy another DAM program to manage my offline images?!
I don't call this a Digital Asset Manager. I call this a HardDisk Manager with photoediting capabilities. No, not even that.
I call this a BIG BUG !!

You can blame LR that it doesn't use the Volume name for pictures just residing in the root directory of a disk. You are always on the save side if you put your images into folders.
The workaround is obvious: put your images never on the root directory but always into an folder with a name unique enough to find the disk if LR is asking for it.
If you have used plain DVD-R or DVD+R Media to archive your images you have to reburn to get a workable solution but this might also a good opportunity to switch to dvd-ram.
Side note: Archiving photos on DVD-R or DVD+R media is not save! With this media you risk data loss. There are quite some articles describing this. It is commonly agreed that DVD-RAM is much better suited for archiving puroses.
- with appropriate drivers you can use it like a hard drive filling it
step by step.
- you can change an update data files
- most of the newer DVD burner support DVD-RAM
- if not a DVD-RAM burner is not expensive (around 60$) and a very good investment
- if you do not like this idea store your files on portable hard drives
but not on DVD-R or DVD+R media.

Offline Image Management

All of the other Digital Asset Management (DAM) software packages that I have used manage offline storage. Some have built-in capability to burn CD/DVD's; others just recognize that it has been done. However, all of them track the offline media by serial number, and allow the user to assign a more friendly name to the disk. This allows one to locate the disk containing an image. Without this, support for offline images is not particularly useful.
So far as I have been able to determine, Lightroom does not provide any capability for this. In particular, when I import images from a CD (leaving them in place), Lightroom recognizes the drive on which the CD is mounted. When I attempt to reference the images later, with the CD unmounted, Lightroom provides the standard Windows dialog box to find a missing file.
Is there some capability for Lightroom to manage offline images that I have not found? If not, has anyone looked into coordinating it with a real DAM package? I like Lightroom's workflow and raw conversion, but I need image management, too.
Thanks,
David

Thanks for that pointer. I have a PC rather than a Mac, but that may be effective on a PC, too.
However, what I'd really like Lightroom to do is integrate with iMatch. It tracks offline images, and names of mountable media (i.e., CDs and DVDs). It also scales very well, and is quite fast.
The problem I have had with iMatch is that it is not integrated into my workflow, and I tend not to enter relevant metadata for my images for relatively long periods of time. Then, of course, I have a lot to do, and it's a chore. If I were able to enter metadata - categories, keywords - in Lightroom, as I process my images, and then easily import that metadata into iMatch, I would be much happier.
I'll look around in the iMatch forum some more. Most of the discussion I saw there looked a little backwards to me - it was about moving images and metadata from iMatch to Lightroom.

Missing or Offline Images

Hi;
I have about 9000 missing or offline images according to my Lightroom3 software.
However, they're not! I can see them in the folders on an external drive where Lightroom says they are not. I'm confused, baffled, fed-up!
When I try to reimport them, Lightroom says they are already there, doubly confusing?!
Can someone please help me get them back in my Library so I can use them.
Many, many thanks.
PS I've had this same problem for a while, predating my recent update to v3 from v1.

When you have missing or offline images do NOT re-import. Since LR stores the edits and everything else you do in the catalog and not in the image file, you would loose everything you did by re-importing.
The correct way is to point LR to the missing image / folder. LR stores the location of an image (and its file-name) in the catalog, too. When you then move an image (or an image folder) or re-name them outside of LR, i.e. in Mac Finder / Win Explorer then there is a discrepancy for LR between what the catalog says and the actual situation on your hard drive(s). That creates the missing image message. "Missing" in this context means that LR does not "know" where the image is - it does not mean that the image is not somewhere on your hard drive.
For this reason, it is best practice to do all your image management (renaming of files/ folders or moving them) in LR. That way LR keeps track of where the images are.
You should see - in the folders panel (left side in Library Module - question marks besides the folders. This is LRs way of saying :I don't know where this folder is".
Right-click the top-most folder in the hierarchy of folders that show the question mark and select <Update folder location>. Navigate to the correct location of the folder and click on it. LR should then find the sub-folders on its own, provided that you have not changed the folder names or folder structure outside of LR.
If you have done this you have to do the <Update folder location> for each individual folder.
If you still have missing images after that, that means that you have moved images between folders 9outside of LR).
You then have to go the painfully slow route of pointing LR to each missing image. In the Grid View, the missing image should have a question mark on its frame. Click the question mark (hit it directly) and select <Find missing image>. Then navigate to the location of the image and click on it. If the file name has been changed you will be asked to verify that this is the correct image.

Global delete duplicates in PSE 12 Mac

Is there a way to do large deletes of multiple files in PSE 12 Mac? I have 1000s of duplicate files, and can't review each of them. It should be possible by specifying exactly duplicates, no?

The sad truth is : No.
The main problem is that even assuming the program is able to find duplicates candidates, it can't choose which to delete.
10 thoughts about duplicates - Elements Village
So, your hope is to find duplicates, not individually, but hopefully by all folders (which is a common situation).
The main thing to understand is that for the organizer, duplicates are files with the same 'date taken' and size in kB. On the other hand, the tools offered by the organizer to find duplicates are based on 'visual similarity'.

Migrating from PSE for Windows 6 to PSE for Mac 6 including metadata

Can't find anything in the knowledge base on this.
I am giving up on Windows. Its just too messy and ugly. One of the final changes will be migrating from MS Windows Vista and PSE 6 to a brand new Mac, using LEopard 10.5.2 and PSE for Mac 6.
I want to migrate my images from the Windows machine, as well as the metadata organizing information. Surely I am not the only one with this need. I know I can save the mages in a mutually readable file format, export, and have them on the Mac, but I have a great deal of metatdata and image organization in the Windows version of PSE 6.
Please tell me how to migrate the entirety of PSE for Windows to my new Mac.
Thanks.....

Some related questions-- can Bridge CS3 search sub-folders? Could I filter for a Keyword at the top of a tree, and locate all files with that keyword in sub-folders?
While exporting files from PSA2 on a PC I am using Share / Email to attach my existing keywords. Can they be drag-and-drop added to a Hierarchy in the Keywords panel? (Either from the Filter panel where they are automatically listed and counted, or from the "Other" location in the Keywords panel where they appear italicized?)
I had deluded myself into believing that PSE6 for the Mac included Organizer. Would Lightroom be a logical option for organizing? Particularly if I want to catalog many images on CD without storing them on disk? Can it be purchased separately? What other options would you recommend?

Exporting offline image

Is it possible to export offline image (namely - the saved preview) from Lightroom?
I have the Lightroom on my notebook, while the largest part of my library is on an external drive. Having generated standard previews for all library, it is quite comfortable to search, browse and even slideshow all I need when external drive is not connected. BUT, it seems impossible to export (export is failing), edit with external app (not available), Copy to clipboard (no such command at all) an image when the image is offline. I understand, that I can't get the fullsize image (howewhere, sometimes even that can be possible if the fullsize preview is in the cache), but for emailing, it should be enough with the standard previews...
May be, there is some other way, no visible for me? Otherwise, LR is really good and well thought out software, just this omission doesn't let me to feel fully happy with it.

The full size preview is not equivalent to the full size image. One is for monitor display, the other for printing, exporting to PS, etc.
 
 You can make a proof sheet using the templates or brew your own, and then make a PDF in the print dialogue (the latter is built in on the Mac OS) and e-mail that.

Why can't I open multiple sparse image files at the same time in FCPX?

I work in a multiple editor enviroment, where we have hundreds of different projects. They are all divided into sparse image files to keep them all separated. I used to be able to mount multiple sparse image files and see them all in FCPx. But recently, FCPx upon opening, will close out all but one sparse image. The images are still mounted to the OSx but FCPx will not recognize them. I can only open one sparse image at a time. I am needing to export multiple projects at the end of the day, and can't batch export or send them all to compressor because I can open up multiple projects.

MULTIPLE place image import...& "save as.." multiple layers to multipage PDF

Hello,
just some suggestions I`d like to see to speed up my set up and output..
i`d like to import multiple placed images into illustrator CS4. So open dialogue box place, and multiple select images for placing.
regards output save as...
Can we output multiple layers into a single PDF in illustrator? Or multiple layers into single JPEGS from illustrator with one command instead of individually saving out each layer... would be a huge time saver for me.I create different artworks on different layers..
Currently I output each completed layer individually and then right click those outputted jpegs in their output folder and choose "combine supported files into acrobat..." to make a single acrobat file..i`d like to do this right in the illustrator "save for PDF" dialogue box. Adding something in the Save for PDF output dialogue box to save layers to one PDF as multiple pages would be a helpful time saver..
I`d also like to be able to CTRL click multiple layers and go " save as..." only those layers get saved out...

, bridge -FILE/PLACE into ai, goes to separate layers in AI as placed.
in PS, bridge/tools/ps/load files into ps layers.. CS4.
just using right click in explorer on individual PDF docs from layers saved from PS to combine to PDF. but cannot output multiple pds from layers in AI in CS4.

Multiple copies of ASDM on the Mac?

Is it possible to run multiple copies of ASDM on the Mac so that I can be connected to multiple ASAs via ASDM at the same time? I can do this on a PC with no problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the Mac.
Thanks,
Jim

As of ASDM 7.1(4), it's still not working. ASDM 7.1(5) has given me nothing but grief from a Mac perspective, so I haven't moved beyond 7.1(4) except to verify that 7.1(5) is borked with current Java versions (there's been reports of some people having success with 7.1(5) if they downgrade their Java, but I've neither the inclination nor the time to start down that rabbit hole). I should note that the "success" I'm referring to is not multiple instances of ASDM, but rather basic functionality; ASDM 7.1(5) and current Java versions don't mix. At all.
tl;dr - if you want multiple instances of ASDM on a Mac, you'll need Parallels and Windows. :/

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.
