Need Help with Problem Batch Rotating Images in iPhoto 8!

Hello, recently I have been having a lot of problems with pic files becoming unusable once I batch rotate them in iPhoto 8, so now I want to rotate the pictures 180º before I import them into iPhoto. Is there a free program out there that can help me do this without losing any picture quality. I REALLY don't want to have to individually open up over 2000 photos in Preview and individually rotate them that way.
Does this same batch rotating problem occur in Aperture 1.5.6?
TIA for ANY and ALL help!!!

You can create an Automator workflow application to batch rotate a folder of photos 180 degrees. You need to download and install GraphicConverter first. You can use it in the demo mode by first opening it before you drop your folder of photos onto the application .
When you install GC select the option to install the GC Automator workflows. Open Automator and put in the following elements: 1 - Get Finder Items; 2 - Rotate. You can select to use Quicktime or the internal algorithm. Save it as an application.
This all must be done outside of iPhoto and then import into iPhoto.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Need help with full screen slideshow image quality

I am looking to display some images with full screen slideshow. The images I add are very large, over 5000 wide. When I publish the site some images retain their quality while others lose it and look like crap. Why would this be and how can I fix it. I tried to resize them to the 2560x1707 that muse does, and then add them. This doesn't change the end result of poor quality.

Go to Assets Panel and locate the image you want to use at original size. Right click the image and chose 'Import Larger Size'.
See if that helps retain quality for that image, since Muse does not resize/interpolate that image for you.
Cheers,

New to Photoshop (CS4Ext) and need help with basic loading of images to new folder.

Just purchased CS4Ext and installed it. It's not showing up on my desktop as a quick entry icon. I want to simply load images from a portable hard drive (USB) to a new folder in photoshop so I can review them and begin to select and separate out some of interest to manipulate and share or get ready to print. It 's the most basic help one can need butI'm jut not clear on the workflow steps . Would appreciate someone walking me through the steps .
Thanks much

Let's see… First of all, this is the Photoshop Macintosh forum. Installed applications never, ever show up on your desktop as a "quick entry" icon on a Mac. Are you on a Windows PC maybe?

Just select them with your mouse in the Finder and drag-copy them into the new folder. Done.

Need Help with HTML Batch Processing

Hi,
New to this forum so be kind
I am trying to work out a way to batch process html's.
The html template is used in our eBay listings.
All the information I want to change is the same.
Eg in my template I have the number "0234" it appears for 6 times, sometimes in the text sometimes in part of the image title I am loading.
I then have an excel sheet listing all my codes that i need to make htmls for - 0234, 0235, 0236 etc etc...
I use say 10 templates depending on what number im doing.
So next cell to the codes (in excel) I list what template I would need.
Now I know in dreamweaver I can search for "0234" in my html & replace to create my new html. But I have 1000's to do, and I am sure I am doing it a long way manually.
Is it possible to use the excel sheet and dreamweaver together to process all these changes in a scripted batch system? and even load which html to use?
Or maybe use a different software?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards

The closest to this I have done was in using Photoshop and text files to create hundreds of photoshop designed banners that all had different copy/type on them but based on a template and, the same idea but with pharmacy magnets using InDesign and Excel.
The idea is that you put text boxes in the document and specify a variable for them and then equate those boxes either to variables in a text file or to column headers in an Excel file.
Google on "Data Merging" and perhaps you'll find something.
I'm not aware of a way to do this with html documents but if you approach the html as just a text file, then conceptually, you should be able to create a template whereby you assign a variable to certain divs or input boxes or whatever. Then, you might have to re-process the entire lot to remove the code needed to distinguish a field as dynamic but that would easier to remove.
I'll watch this post as well because massive replacements are always something to know about!

Need help with problem installing OSX 10.5.2 update

I tried to download 10.5.2 update via Software update. After download the was a problem concerning the "signature" and the download was placed in my trash. I tried to empty trash, but it said it could not because the item "MACOSXUpd10.5.2.pkg is in use." So I downloaded the combp update from the Apple web site. After down load I tried to install, and I get a dialog box which says: "The following disc image failed to mount" and under image it says: MACOSXUpdCombo10" and under reason: "error-4960."
What do I do now?
Thanks for your help.

Never continue installing software on a computer with a problem. If you could not empty the trash, that's the immediate thing to fix. Then you should proceed with the update. There is clearly something wrong with your system.
Reboot and see of you can "flush" the trashbin. If not, we have a problem to solve.
Installing the update is the second step. We should deal with the first issue first.

I need help with problems after the April 2015 update

In December 2015 I purchased an LG G3. It started out great. Then often people couldn't hear me..sometimes with the speaker on, sometimes with it off, sometimes on bluetooth with my car,.or my voice faded in and out, or sounded muffled or garbled. After over a month of these frequent audio problems and several calls to Verizon during which they boosted my signal and guided me through a factory reset which took all of my photos out of their albums, the final suggestion a few days ago (April 21, 2015) was to download the new software update. I did and I'm not happy with some of the changes e.g. I wish I could have the old home touch buttons back,The jury is still out on sounds quality, but now I have two new annoying problems.
The first is that my car and phone used to bluetooth (connect) as soon as I put my engine on. Now, every time I get in my car I have to go into settings and give the phone permission to have other devices find my phone. Then after one or two tries the bluetooth eventually connects them. I am a Realtor and I need my phone and car to connect automatically every time I get in. I can give the phone permission to connect for up to an hour, but then it goes off. How do I get the opton to stay on?
The second is that I often turn my data off, and I used to do it from the notification panel that I can pull down. I just pulled it down and tapped "data" and the light would go off if the data was off and on if it was on. Now when I tap "data" I can turn it on or off, but the data button stays lit so when the data is off the light is still on. No more quickly glancing to see the data status...I have to tap it and read the notice to find out. Yes, 3G or 4G light up in tiny letters at the top, but data is the only button that stays lit when it is turned off.
Am I missing the steps that would fix these issues?

SiBIMe,
I am sorry to hear of the issues with your device before and after the update. We want to restore the love back to your device. Please keep us posted on the audio issues to see if the update did assist with that issues.
In regards to the two new problems, we want to make sure we get this worked out. Do you have issues with the device only auto connecting to your car or all bluetooths? Do you receive and error message when the device doesn't auto connect and you attempt to connect manually but it fails? As for the data icon, when you tab on the data icon from the notification tab does the 4G actually disappear even thought the data icon is still lit?
Please test your device in Safe mode and let us know if you still experience the same issues. Here is how to place the device in safe mode. http://vz.to/1owbN8K

Need help with my batch code, cant seem to figure out the errors.

Hello all, so as part of my job I have to check a list of shared drives on random servers throughout the world to make sure they are not open. I am trying to make a batch file to check them all at once instead of mapping to each one individually. It would
save a lot of time. So far I got this code with the help of a member of
reddit:
@echo off
:: Ensure Extensions are enabled to avoid silent failure
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
set "Input-Server-List=H:\Desktop\serverlist.txt"
set "Open-Share-List=H:\Desktop\open_shares.txt"
set "Locked-Share-List=H:\Desktop\locked_shares.txt"
:: Create empty files
copy nul "%Open-Share-List%" 1>nul
copy nul "%Locked-Share-List%" 1>nul
:: Test the shares to see if they're online or not
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%S in ("%Input-Server-List%") do @(
pushd "%%~S" 2>nul && (
popd
1>> "%Open-Share-List%" echo %%~S
echo ONLINE -- %%S
) || (
1>> "%Locked-Share-List%" echo %%~S
echo OFFLINE - %%S
echo Testing Complete! Results have been logged to File.
:: Open files in default program (typically notepad.exe)
explorer "%Open-Share-List%"
explorer "%Locked-Share-List%"
:: End of script
endlocal
timeout -1 /nobreak
exit /b
But there are a few (approx 4) servers that are coming up as online/accessible in the list that are actually closed/appropriately locked down. I have no idea why.. all the rest are working as they should. Any help would be much appreciated. Any questions
let me know. Once again, I would really really appreciate some help.

Here's a tester:
Get-Content .\shareList.txt | ForEach {
$share = $_
If (Test-Path -Path $share) {
$found = $true
} Else {
$found = $false
try {
$null = Get-ChildItem -Path $share -ErrorAction Stop
$connect = $true
} catch {
$connect = $false
$props = @{
Share = $share
Found = $found
Connect = $connect
New-Object PsObject -Property $props
} | Select Share,Found,Connect |
Sort Connect,Share |
Export-Csv .\shareListCheck.csv -NoTypeInformation
As the others have pointed out though, this won't really give you any solid information.

Need help with Elements loading RAW images since I switched cameras.

I recently switched from a Canon Rebel XT to a Canon Rebel T1i. I have Elements 6.0 and was able to see RAW images with my old camera. For some reason the RAW images aren't loading in Elements now. I get a message saying the files are corrupt. I've tried different cards but still no difference. Any suggestions?

Please read this TechNote:-
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407110.html
It shows at:-
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
you need at least ACR 5.4 for your T1i/500D
ACR 5.6 and therefore earlier versions work on PSE 6.
You should upgrade your PSE 6 to ACR 5.6; it does work on PSE 6 at least in WIndows. I know because ACR 5.6 works on my PSE 6 under Windows Vista.

Need help with column formatting (see image)

I am trying to make a spreadsheet that calculates proportional image sizes of a fixed original size. I have it set up so you enter an original size on the left (see image below) and the spreadsheet calculates the proportional sizes on the right (in the pink column). I would like to know how to get Appleworks to re-list the proportional sizes while omitting the size pairs that = 0. Basically i want to display the proportional sizes in a new column without the zeros. This way the proportional sizes list is much smaller and easier to read.
Thanks for any help

Part 2
The method indicated in your original spreadsheet, and after the refinements suggested earlier, is essentially a sieve—calculate all the values, then strain out the chaff (ie. the results with non-integer values for one or both dimensions).
A more efficient approach is to calculate and display only the cases where both dimensions are integers.
Here's one way. You may want to move some of the calculations and revise the formulas accordingly.
Data Entry:
Cells B4 and C4 are used for data entry, as in the original.
Initial calculation: Find the LCF (largest common factor) Columns J, K, L and cell M1.
J1: =(B$4/ROW())=INT(B$4/ROW())
K1: =(C$4/ROW())=INT(C$4/ROW())
L1: =IF(J1+K1=2,ROW(),"")
Fill these three columns down to the largest short side dimension you expect to use (ie. if you'll use 39 x 78 inch original images, fill down to row 39).
What the formulas do:
J1: The ROW() function returns the number of the row in which the formula is located. B$4/ROW() divides the number in B4 by the number of the row. INT(B$4/ROW()) does the same division, then strips off any fractional part of the result. The second = sign is a comparison operator. The formula compares the results of the parts on each side of the sign and, if they are equal, returns TRUE (or 1), and if they are not equal, returns FALSE (or 0).
For the example (6), the formula would return TRUE in rows 1, 2, 3 and 6, marking the four factors of 6.
K1: Does the same, but for the number in C4.
For the example (8), the formula returns TRUE in rows 1, 2, 4 and 8, marking the four factors of 8.
L1: This IF() formula checks for common factors. If the cells in both columns (J and K) in a particular row contain TRUE (ie. the number of that row is a factor of both the number in B4 and the number in C4), then the sum of the two cells will be 2 (TRUE=1, FALSE=0, TRUE + TRUE = 2), and the formula will return the result of the ROW() function (ie. the number of the row). For any other result, the formula will return 'empty' (ie. what's between the two double quotes "" ).
For the example, cells L1 and L2 will contain 1 and 2 respectively; the rest of the cells in column L will be empty.
M1: =MAX(L1..L39)
M1: This formula completes the search by picking off and returning the greatest number in column L, or the Largest Common Factor for the two numbers. Adjust the second cell reference in the formula to reflect the largest original image size you'll use.
Final Calculations
D4: =B$4/$M$1*(ROW()-3)
E4: =C$4/$M$1*(ROW()-3)
D4: The formula divides the number in B4 by the LCF determined above to determine the size increment that will give integer results for both dimensions of the final image(s). It then multiplies that increment by 1 in row 4, by 2 in row 5, by 3 in row 6, and so on, for as many rows as you wish. The -3 in the second part of the formula is an offset to make the value of the multiplier three less than the row in which the formula is located.
E4: Same formula, but acting on the number in C4.
The first five results for the example ( 6 and 8) are:
3 4
6 8
9 12
12 16
15 20
and for a 4 x 6 initial image:
2 3
4 6
6 9
8 12
10 15

Need help with the hover over images from small to bigger

I read the tutorial about the hover over the small image shows a bigger image. I thought I would try it own my own but it did not work, do I need to make a link to the CSS file or do I need to do something different. Please help

Here is the tutorial link:
http://www.dreamweaverclub.com/dreamweaver-show-larger-image.php
This is a pure CSS Image Swap without the need for JavaScript behaviors.
It places the thumbnail image on a page with a "nolink" link or anchor so the CSS hover rule can invoke the appearance of the larger image inside an absolutely positioned division (APDiv) layer.
Paste the CSS code into the top of your page between the <head> and </head> tags.
<style type="text/css">
/**image to large**/
#picture {width:100px; height: 250px; background-color:#ffffff;}
#picture a.small, #picture a.small:visited { display:block; width:100px; height:100px; text-decoration:none; background:#ffffff; top:0; left:0; border:0;}
#picture a img {border:0;}
#picture a.small:hover {text-decoration:none; background-color:#000000; color:#000000;}
#picture a .large {display:block; position:absolute; width:0; height:0; border:0; top:0; left:0;}
#picture a.small:hover .large {display:block; position:absolute; top: 90px; left:150px; width:200px; height:200px; }
</style>
Paste the HTML code between the <body> and </body> tags:
<div id="picture">
<a class="small" href="#nogo" title="small image"><img src="small-image.jpg" width="125" height="83" title="small image" />
<img class="large" src="large-image.jpg" title="large image" /></a>
</div> 
Change small-image.jpg and large-image.jpg to your own.

Need help with a scrolling background image

I've got a 800x600 document that has a panoramic picture scrolling horizontally and buttons in the image.
i've got this piece of code for AS2.0
_global.plotis = Stage.width;
centre._x = _global.plotis / 2;
speed = 40;
full._y = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(_xmouse<300 || _xmouse>500){
    var A:Boolean = false;
    var X = _xmouse - _global.plotis / 2;
    full._x += -X / speed;
    if (full._x >= 0) {
        full._x = 0;
    if (full._x <= -(full._width - _global.plotis)) {
        full._x = -(full._width - _global.plotis);
Otherwise it is working all good, but I'd like it to stay put at the start. Right now it immidiately starts scrolling to right unless I move the mouse on top to stop it. So ye, i need to have it sitting still and only scroll when the mouse is at the edges of the document...
Cheers,
PK

use:
_global.plotis = Stage.width;
centre._x = _global.plotis / 2;
speed = 40;
full._y = 0;
this.onMouseMove=function(){
delete this.onMouseMove;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
    if(_xmouse<300 || _xmouse>500){
    var A:Boolean = false;
    var X = _xmouse - _global.plotis / 2;
    full._x += -X / speed;

Need help with problem using sound and vibration examples. question repost

I am generating a wav file using the sound and vibration example vi "SVXMPL_Wav Recorder(DAQmx)" using a ni 7422 board. Then, using the example vi SVXMPL_Getting started with SVT(Simulated)" attempting to play back that file. the wav file will load and play back on the graphs fine but when I click the "Play Wav File" which sends the audio to the computers speaker, I get the error "Cannot recognise sound Format". It plays the shipped example files fine. I can also play the wav files I generate on a Windows audio player. Don't know a lot about the sound and vibration toolkit or wav file formats but need to get these two to work together. Using LV 8.5 and sound and vibration toolkit 4.0. This is a bit of a repost of the same question ask last week but not answered. Thanks

Need help with automatic resizing of images

I am working with a liquid template in dreamweaver and when I insert my banner image and preview the page, the image stays the same size while the page template expands with the screen resolution.
How can I set the image so it automatically expands with the page?

Expanding an image in this way isn't really the best way of doing things, because depending on the image it can get very distorted when it's increased or decreased in size. You are better off selecting a background colour and blending the image into that, so that when the browser window is increased you see the majority of the image, but on larger monitors, the image is blending into the background on either side of that image.
There is a technique that may make this possible - I did read something about it at one point, but didn't save the URL. However, the above method is probably the most reliable way of doing what you want.
