No images in My Catalog after loading them

I'm new to Photoshop and recently bought Elements 10. After reading through as much as possible I began; installation was fine, as was uploading the images stored in folders on an external hardrive. When I started up the computer the following day, however, there were no images in My Catalog anymore, only a number of random folders from my internal drive which I don't believe I'd uploaded in the first place. As I'm still not entirely sure whether I have to be connected to the hard drive where the images are stored solely to use the organiser I connected to that as well, but again there were no photos. At the bottom left of the organiser page I'm told there are unshown images, a number corresponding exactly to the number of photos I'd uploaded the previous day. I have made sure that all is showing in View. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks...

Hi Julian,
If a file has 'missing file (yellow question mark) badge' on it then it indicates- that particular file (or set of files) is either renamed, moved, deleted from (outside the knowledge of organizer). But as mentioned in this post 'external hard drive' presents itself as an internal drive (not as a removable drive), so if you detach your external hard drive then files imported from the external drive will be shown missing.
If a file has 'offline (red button similar to shutdown icon on windows) badge' on it, it indicates- that particular files (or set of files) were improrted from a CD/DVD/removable drive (flash drive)/network drive. Once you connect the drive the red badge would be gone.
Coming to your question: Yes, you can do anything in organizer (tagging, creating album, searching) except editing and sharing.
Let me know if have any queries.

IDVD Crashes After Loading Themes Bar

I open up iDVD and I create a new project, save it, then the loading themes bar shows up, disappears, and then nothing else happens. I have to force quit in order to get out of the program.
I tried the solution that is already on the site (deleting themes 1-4) and it still doesn't work.
I have a blackbook 2.2SR which I purchased in November. iDVD worked when I first got it, but this problem started around beginning of January. No idea what to do since this is my first Mac.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Just bought my first imac , love it, i have edited some photos using iphot but after loading them on face book they are the originals not the edited photo , why is this ?

i thought i had saved them , but there doesn't seem to be a save button etc , please help

From the iPhoto menu bar click iPhoto / Empty iPhoto Trash.
Quit then relaunch iPhoto. Try editing an image then uploading to FB.
And when you upload to FB, make sure you use the Share button bottom right side of the iPhoto window.

Manage flat files before/after load them

Hi all,
I am a beginner on OWB. I have to migrate a DW environment that all scripts are implemented manually (PL/SQL) and running over UNIX OS to a OWB. Currently the data is loaded from flat files on a temp (stg) tables (first phase). There is an external process that is leaving in a folder more than one file of the same entity, then one sh process is doing a join (cat) of all files in one. For example:
customers1.txt
customers2.txt
customers3.txt
result: customers.txt
The same process calls SQL-Loader to load the file into the temp table. After the file is loaded it is moved into a backup folder.
I have created a mapping that is loading the data from a flat file to a staging table. My question is if it is possible execute some SH file from OWB in order to do the cat of the files and move the result file into a backup folder when the loading process is finished.
Many thanks for your inputs!

I think that I can do it with Experts, using a Java_Task. The problem is that I cannot find any example about Java_task implementation. Could someone provide me some example?
Thanks in advance!

I use a Pandigital Photolink one touch scanner. Then I upload the pics from the hd card to the computer. In order to get iphoto to recognize the images I have to first save each photo using 'save as' to my documents, then 'open with' iphoto. Is there a way to do a group 'save as' and then open the group in iphoto?
Scanning this way is much faster than using my printer but having to save each individually defeats the purpose.

Pre 9 - After Loading Theme Content pack 1 - Unable to open projects

Pre9 works fine until I installed one of the theme content packs (1 - Birthdays etc...). Now when it launches all I get is the shell of the window, menu bar and large open space of gray. If I uninstall the theme pack it works again...
Is anyone else seeing this? Anyone have a solution?

Looking for a way to move a rejected xml file after loading it

Hi all,
I'm currently looking for a solution to do the following:
I've loaded multiple xml files into an external table and after firing a few queries on that external table, I've moved the xml data into a normal oracle table
depending on a few values which need to be met (e.g. last two digits of column a need to be the same as the last two digits of column b)
All of this works fine, but I'd like to be able to move the xml files which don't meet these requirements to another folder on the filesystem named e.g. 'rejected'
now, my shell script just moves all the xml files to a processed folder after loading them into an external table.
I've looked at utl_file.frename but I need to be able to automatically move more than one file if neccesary instead of filling in one filename in the frename statement.
(maybe the filenames need to be entered into a separate table?)
Thanks in advance and your help is much appreciated!

You can look through some of the different Layouts available.
Select your page.
Click the "Layout" icon on the lower right hand of the application window.
Above it will appear a "BACKGROUND" section and a "LAYOUT" section.
Immediately below the "LAYOUT" is a drop down menu which will show you all the different options.

How to increase BoundingSphere radius after loading .3ds model

I can properly load in all .3ds models, however, after loading them into the canvas some .3ds models are far too large. When I zoom out (by pushing the model back with MouseZoom) the model disappears from view even though I have the boundingsphere declared as:
BoundingSphere bounds = new BoundingSphere(new Point3d(), Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY);
I add the loaded model (transformgroup.addChild(model.getSceneGroup());) and this contains the bounds as shown above.
The weird thing is when I load .obj files using the same method it works fine. I can zoom out on these objects to infinity (until they are small dots).
Why are the .3ds models disappearing from the bounds even when I have them set to POSITIVE INFINITY?
Any ideas? Thanks.

After loading Lion I cannot open some pictures. I get Unsupported Image Format. It tells me picture was taken with Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens

After loading Lion I cannot open open some pictures in Aperture. I get Unsupported Image Format, all files even the ones I can open are .JPG. Also it tells me picture was made using Canon EOS Rebel with unknown lens.

You mention that 'most' of your files are DNG. Try
running the effected files through Adobe DNG
converter again and then import your reprocessed
files to Aperture and see if the problem persists.
I had a problem with a batch of D2x files converted
to DNG which had been metadata tagged by
PhotoMechanic (the evil app).
B.T.W. You mention that you had been using Bridge.
Are you getting any of the embedded XMP metadata
coming into Aperture during the import process?
Already tried that multiple times...no luck. I'm wondering though if it might be related to metadata as you suggest. I'm still trying different things to see what happens.
I was able to alleviate the problem on one set of images by painstakingly searching my external drive for the oldest backups I could find - CR2 files from before DNG conversion. I then ran those through DNG Converter and tried importing them again (this time, I embedded NO thumbnail, but I'm not sure if that made the difference - I think it was more likely a fluke in the original conversion that caused the problem). This time, it worked.
Now, the big problem is that I still have a couple hundred images for which I can't seem to locate the original CR2 files. I don't typically keep them after conversion, as I don't have the space for both.

GPU acceleration disabled after loading image

I recently purchased Photoshop CS6. I've installed on Windows 7 and run updates. I've also today updated my graphics drivers to latest version (catalyst 12.8). I have an AMD Radeon HD 7700 which has 1024MB RAM. This card is on the list of supported cards.
When I first load Photoshop I can look in "Preferences -> Performance" and see that the GPU has been detected correctly and 'Use Graphics Processor' is ticked.
However after loading any image, including using "File -> New" to open an blank white image, the GPU is disabled. Looking back in "Preferences -> Performance" it tells me:
"no gpu options available with photoshop standard"
What can I do about this?

I have notified AMD. It wouldn't hurt for you to do so as well - the more people who report problems with using Photoshop to them the more likely they are to take Photoshop users seriously, rather than just worrying about gamers.

“Hi Kirby, thanks a lot for your answer.
I got one answer, from DMoore, saying:
“Try Safe boot and then restart with only Aperture open. Still doent work write back with more details like Ram, HD capacity/free space. Are these thumbnails or Previews? Have you turned off building previews in AP preferances?
Safe boot http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
Starting up into Safe Mode does several things:
1 It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
2 It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
3 In Mac OS X v10.3.9 or earlier, Safe Mode runs only Apple-installed startup items (such items may be installed either in /Library/StartupItems or in /System/Library/StartupItems; these are different than user-selected account login items).
4 It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
5 It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
6 It disables all startup items and login items (Mac OS X v10.4 or later).
7 Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later: A Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache at (/var/db/dyld/). A cache with issues may cause a blue screen on startup, particularly after a Software Update. Restarting normally recreates this cache.”
As I don’t know much about the technical aspects of computers, I don’t really understand the first answer, and it sounds like following it might produce unwanted changes.
But I understand your questions, so I’ll try to answer them;
"loading from any Project" means that I encounter the problem when I’m using a project, possibly after/because I’ve left the Mac on overnight, and/or I’ve made a lot of adjustments, and, once the problem is there, it happens in any other project which I open – the images load then disappear.
I can see images in the Browser, so it only happens in the Viewer(s).
I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean by: “If you select "Photos" from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector, does it show you all of your Images?”. I am a newcomer to Aperture, so I don’t know what some of the buttons are for yet, but when I want to look at and adjust my pictures, I import them, as referenced images, then Aperture creates a folder/project in the Library. When I click on that Project (when it’s working properly), all the images appear in the Browser or the Viewers – without me needing to “select Photos from near the top of the Library tab of the Inspector”. I selected it and looked at all the items in the dropdown menu, but none of them seems to offer the option to ‘show all the images’. So I’m not sure how to answer your question except to say that – yes, I can see all the pictures in the Browser or the Viewers (when it’s working properly), but I don’t seem to need to use the Photos button to achieve this.
Did Aperture work before?
Yes it worked ok for a while, but I only purchased it on 24th May.
If I understand correctly, the difference between thumbnail and preview is that the thumbnail is what I see when the “Loading” wheel is turning, and the disappearance of this wheel after a few seconds means that I am now looking at the preview (also, the thumbnail cannot be adjusted).
So I think the problem occurs when the thumbnail has finished loading; the viewer going blank/grey might mean that it is not showing the preview.
But I have not changed the default Preview settings in Aperture Preferences.
My macbookpro details:
2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 Gb 1333 MHz DDR3
Hard Drive capacity 499.25 GB
Available 387.36 GB
I have noticed another problem: I cannot apply the same rating to multiple images: following the instructions, I select a group of contiguous (or non- contiguous) images, choose a selection eg “5stars” using the keyboard, but the stars only appear in the last selected image – even though all the images are still showing as selected.”
I hope this helps you to understand more.
Thank you for trying to help me.

Running Win7 and ITunes 10.6 - loaded all my old CD's in one user acct. I want to share these with all other users on the machine without reloading the CD's and without having to make copies of their disk images, if possible. Also, want them on my WinXP

Running ITunes 10.6, on a Win7 Home Premium SP1. Just loaded about thirty of my favorite CD's on my user account.
I would like to be able to make all of them available to my other family members in their accounts on my machine, without needing to reload them all and without having to store their disk images multiple times. Can this be done, and if so, how?
And can I copy the contents of a folder across to my wife's WinXP SP3 machine, and have them made available to each of us in our login accts on that machine?
(There are three of us, plus an admin and a backup admin account, on each.)
I will be really grateful if someone can help me do this for my family members, as we have shared the music on these CD's over the years, and I would like to make them available on the desktop for each of us.
Also, I'd like to be able to load them, or a subset of them, to my wife and son's IPods. Any Tips, Traps or Tweaks for that process, as well?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Not sure about the OS level for the IPods. I am doing this for my wife and son, using an account here created for my son, which he shares with me for support purposes. But I do know they both have IPods, and our PC's and their OS's were described above.

You can move the iTunes folder to a separate drive on your pc an then configure each account to use this drive / folder as iTunes library ... The problem is, that iTunes by default stores everything in your personal music folder which is separate for each user account in windows (and by default is on "C" drive).
I create a separate partition on every pc/laptop (and map a drive name) where I store music, videos and other mass data. This will also keep the "C" drive small, which is backed up from time to time and so my backup is also small.

Images aren't completely visible after loading in Photoshop CS6

I've been using CS3. Without un-installing CS3, I installed CS6 . . . actually both 64bit & 32bit. I had several problems when running. For example, images often were not completely visible after loading . . . part of the image showed as transparent. I could duplicate the layer & all was ok, with both the new & original layers. This hasn't been a major problem, but is a nuisance & indicates that something is not right. Several features even cause "Photoshop CS6 has stopped working". Thankfully, I could always fall back to CS3 when a problem cropped up, altho' it was a pain having to save so often.
I deactivated CS6 and uninstalled (via Control Panel). I then re-installed, installed updates & re-activated . . . same problem when images load. I just re-installed, so I haven't had a chance to test other things.
I've postponed installing Lightroom4, hoping to solve CS6 problems first.
Any suggestions?

I downloaded & installed Nvidia GeForce G210 driver. Started CS6 . . . opened several JPG images . . . each was completely visible after loading. That sometimes happened before, so I'm not completely sure it's fixed . . . time will tell.
Now I have another (different problem) . . . The Type tool will not work. I get "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
For what it's worth . . . each time I clicked to make the above Bold & italics I got a Windows Internet Explorer message "Are you sure you want to leave this page?"
EDIT . . . I rebooted (again) & everything seems to be working . . . EXCEPT the Windows Internet Explorer message "Are you sure you want to leave this page?"

Why did the # of images in my catalog double when I 'Moved' them in LR from one ext. drive to a 2nd?

Hi,
I'm running LR 3.4 64bit on a PC. My external drive starting generating error messages so I went out a purchased a 2nd external drive (3TB Seagate) to migrate my image Catalog over. Within LR's Import dialog screen I selected the Source drive (old; error-generating drive) and the Destination as my new drive. I ensured that Move was selected (vs. Copy or New).
I had on the order of 50k images. This morning I checked my catalog and the files appear to have moved over just fine. However, now the image count is >100k!
Any ideas on 1) what I did wrong, 2) what steps I can take to 'de-duplicate' the images in my catalog without manually going through?
Thanks in advance!
Machaba

I notice it that users often use the Import feature in LR incorrectly. That creates a lot of problems.
The Import feature is for images that are NOT yet in LR. Only when - for some reasons - you want the same images twice in LR you use the Import and un-check the "Do not import suspected duplicates".
In your case you must have un-checked the "Do not import suspected duplicates" -box in the Import dialog.
As the previous poster already noted the best way to move whole folders or even drives of images is to move them in your OS.
In LR you then get a question mark besides the folder where the photos previously were.
Just right-click the folder with the question mark and point LR to the new location - that's all.
But you imported and now all images show twice.
If your images are all on the new HD (check if they are all there!), right-click the top-most image folder on your "old" HD and select "Remove". This will remove the folder from LR but will not delete your images. LR should then show only 1 set of images on your new HD.
