Hi Drongo79,
while I personally agree that the tutorial´s layout could be better and some more explanation could help improve the understanding, just let me add my 2 cts:
1. writing *good* tutorials is pretty hard, and learning how to get there does take some time and experience -- plus helpful response from others, which Waleed rarely gets at least in these forums.
2. let´s not forget that Waleed is not a native english speaker/writer, what makes it extra hard to get one´s stuff across to a mostly native english audience which seems to expect perfection -- that´s something I know myself, and it has admittedly taken me some time to understand that this requires some extra care.
3. "This tutorial does not work"
well, if this statement were addressing one of my tutorials, I would have to ask you to provide some more details like what exactly doesn´t work -- the fact that something doesn´t work, may have many reasons, and this statement alone is way to too blurry to be helpful.
4. "A bad tutorial is worse than no tutorial".
Maybe you´re right, but Waleed is currently the only regular ADDT user who *does that*, and this deserves some acknowledgement.
5. "Please go away"
a little harsh, don´t you think ? I´d rather prefer him to *continue* contributing tutorials, and I´d prefer others to help him improve his writing without dispiriting him.
6. "look at what you have built from the eyes of someone who is not a developer".
To my experience there´s one particular pitfall which any tutorial writer will always stumble across -- the question "who am I writing for ?". There´s no easy answer to that, and no matter what you´re writing or how, you always risk to fail addressing the requirements of one part of your audience.

    hello, i created 5 different books (photo album) and i would like to know if it's possible to make one single order (and pay the transportation fees only once...) i couldn't find how

    Soory, no, it is not possible. You can only combine multiple copies of the same book into one order.

  • Please help!  This is for a funeral! No time to waste!  Need help with an AE template of a photo album.

    I am using an AE template project of a photo album where I can just insert my own photos.  There are about 6 "page" templates to choose from, each a little different.  I used each 1 time.  Now, I am attempting to use each page again.  The new pics went in fine, but then I realized it also changed the pics in the 1st application of that page template.  I tried renaming the 2nd use of the template, but it didn't work.

    Are you duplicating footage or pre-comps. Highlighted the clip is meaningless. Assets in the composition panel are either footage or compositions. Footage can be stills, audio, or video. Sorry, but you're attempting to do something without any knowledge of how footage or comps work. If it's footage, then your workflow is flawed. You need to duplicate the layer in the Timeline and then replace the footage in the duplicate by holding down the Alt/Option key and dragging the new footage to the selected footage in the timeline. If it is a pre-comp then you have to add your new footage to the pre-comp, not the footage layer.
    Here's what you should do, Show us the main composition timeline and a mini flow chart with the properties of your problem layers revealed. Just select them in the timeline and press the U key twice. Since there are millions of ways to create a slideshow we can't possibly know what to tell you to do without seeing the composition and the timeline and the flow chart. There are hundreds of slide show templates on the web, most from well meaning but inexperienced folks trying to improve their standing in the AE community. Most don't have sufficient documentation, and most that I've looked at are a real mess to customize. Without knowing exactly where you are starting from we have no idea what to suggest except that your workflow is wrong and you need to make sure that every layer in the project is unique.
    If it were me and I had access to Lightroom or iPhoto I would throw the stills in one of those apps and generate a slide show, That will take about 10 minutes. Render that and then when that's done, either import it into Premiere Pro to add titles. Then, when that's done and I've covered myself for offering to produce the video, I would move into After Effects and try and figure out how to do more of a custom job. One more hint, if the Photos are all much larger than your HD comp then you should batch resize them. All still images in an After Effects composition should be at or near 100% scale at some point in the project, or if 3D layers not closer to the camera than the Zoom value of the camera. At no time should still images be sitting still in a composition with a scale value of more than about 130% or closer to the camera than 60% of the zoom value.

  • Trouble with making a link to Web photo Album in Dreamweaver cs4

    I am pretty new to this.  I have created my website, made all my links, which are working fine, but when I made a Web Photo Album in Adobe Bridge, saved in Dreamweaver under my other web pages on my site.
    Here comes the problem, I made a link from i.e. (parents.html) to go into my Web Photo Album but it won't work when I preview it in browser, but other pages will work when I test it with the same link on my (parents.html) page.
    I am pulling my hair out, I can't understand why the link to Web Photo Album won't work, it is the last thing I have to do before I have to upload website.  Can someone please, please, please tell me what is wrong.
    Cheers

    You may need to upload the pages anyway, so that people can help you find the problem.   Seeing the code and the associated files is the only way to try and help you  ;-)
    You can always upload the files to a test folder on the server instead of directly into the root of the site if that is going to be an issue for you,
    PS:  If it's working from being linked to from other pages, then there must a pathing issue when it comes to that one page.

  • Old Mac Pro with 7.0 iPhoto transferred selected photo albums to my iPad. New iMac with iPhoto 11.0 will not transfer photo albums to my iPad. Why not?

    I just purchased the new iMac with the latest iPhoto. Transferred my iPhoto library from my old Mac Pro. Upgraded iPhoto app and then tried to transfer photo albums to my iPad. New iPhoto will not allow transfer of selected albums, while old iPhoto did allow me to sync my selected albums to my iPad. Am I doing something wrong?

    I do not have Last 12 Months selected. I also do not have Events or Faces or any of those newer designations selected. I have literally thousands of photographs in iPhoto, which is why I keep the select, special few hundred or so I want on my iPhone in very specific albums. These are the albums I select to sync. However, not all of the photos in these albums are uploading to my iPhone. They were on my iPhone and synced perfectly fine until the switch to the new laptop this weekend. All files were migrated to the new laptop, and all files are there and viewable on iPhoto. Something is causing some of the photos not to sync. That is what I need assistance with....

  • User Photo Albums

    I have a client who wants their members (in a seure zone) to be able to create and manage albums of photo including loading their own photos.
    Has anyone done this successfully in native BC with webapps?
    Or do you have any suggestions for add-ons - that you have personally used - for doing that?
    Sander

    Hi Sander,
    Web apps are not that great at managing static assets, such as images, mainly because you can not edit web app items and update static images. When editing a web app the system will not connect a web app with the images that have already been uploaded and the end user will not be able to alter those.
    That's a rather custom requirement. You can try building it but you'll run into issues quickly.

  • Wanted to Edit "Create Web Photo Album" template

    I'm using MX2004.
    I've recently done a major, major overhaul on a website I
    manage. We use the "Create Web Photo Album" (not an extension - the
    one that came with DW) extensively, but with the new design, the
    basic photo album template isn't going to cut it. I could probably
    sit with it myself and drop created photo albums into a template
    page and make it work, but I'm not the only one doing photo albums
    and some of the other people aren't the most... technically
    competent.
    What I'd like to do is somehow edit the template that
    Dreamweaver uses to create the photo album so that it looks like
    how we're wanting without any post-album-created-action.
    Is this possible? Is there an extension that'll work for this
    as well? (Looks like the Exchange is currently down, so that isn't
    helping me in my search.)

    Get the free extension "Create Web Photo Album 2" from Adobe.
    It has many
    pre made templates plus instructions on how to create your
    own.

  • Creating a new user account and transferring files from old account

    I am now having more problems than I can handle with my Leopard installation...problems such as applications that refuse quit no matter what ~ even after attempting force quit them and/or attempting to "sudo kill -9 PID", and now that I am having problems with Adobe Lightroom not even being able to remain open on my user account for more than 10 seconds max before it crashes without provocation (yet runs fine on a troubleshooting account I created on the same machine), I would now like to create a new user account on my MacPro Leopard 10.5.6 and transfer my files from the previous (problematic) user account, but I've never done so in the past...
    Can someone give me a basic rundown of how to go about doing this as a means of troubleshooting my current sickly user account (and if you could also please let me know which files I should avoid restoring to the newly created user account so that I don't screw that one up as well, I would appreciate it)
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

    While logged into the troubleshooting account (assuming that it's an admin account—if not create a new one and log into it), backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.
    See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4703015 for more details on this process.

  • How do I create photo album folders or files ? As it stands, ihave some 500 pics saved but only want to play some of them for a slideshow presentation?

    How do I create file folders or photo albums to save photos in specific designated area for subsequent playback as a slideshow. As it stands, I have approx 500 photos in new I Pad 2, however need to only play about 30 in a slideshow. Thank you

    For the Photos app you need to put the photos into different folders on your computer and then sync those folders to the iPad - you need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad. There are third-party apps that you can copy photos to on the iPad which I think might allow you to do slideshows, but I havn't used any of them.
    With iOS 5 in the Autumn you will (assuming that it makes it to the final release) be able to (from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos) :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device.

  • Clicking on user photo does not log in or display password window

    I have a 1-week old MacBook Air w Lion OS which was set up at the Apple Store so I could log on without a password. Doing so brought me immediately to my Desktop.  After installing MS Office via download, at the next boot up I got a grey screen with options to log on as me (my photo) or guest.  I was able to log on by using my Apple password but then Keychain started asking for a password for every app.  I was able to blow by those prompts by sometimes entering a password and sometimes just pressing Enter. Tried to change settings back so I would not need password.  Can't remember what I changed but now when I click on my user photo at the logon screen nothing happens.  Tried booting to Recovery and ran Repair Disk Permissions.  No luck. I am new to Apple and don't know what to try next.  Can you help me?

    Apple support is wonderful!  The fix took a while but I was able to boot up with Shift key and make changes as directed that restored my auto logon.  Downloading Lion update now which is supposed to fix the Keychain problem.  If anyone else has this problem - here is the Case # for reference -

  • Creating photo albums to match My Pictures folder.

    I want to put all the photos that I just uploaded from "My Pictures" file on my computer back into those same photo album categories.  They were broken down into many different folders within "My Pictures".  How can I easily create all of these photo albums without creating each album separately and moving each indivdual photo into each album?
    Thanks!

    the Folder Location view of the PSE Organizer shows the thumbnails of the photos within their folder structure.  So potentially it is a method to select all the photos in a specific folder and then make a PSE Album of those specific selected photos. (You still need to do each folder => album separately but you do not need to do photo files individually.)
    Consideration 1:
    However, there is a consideration that this folder location view has bugs which sometimes displays the folder contents incorrectly. You can minimize the odds of experiencing this bug happening to you by starting the Photoshop Elements Organizer immediately before you do this process of making your Albums.  (however that is not a guarantee)
    Consideration 2:
    Many people who do organization based on folder contents have duplicate copies of the same photo file in multiple folders. The PSE Organizer does not import these duplicate photo files from folders imported after the first one containing that specific photo file.  I recommend that you think about whether you have this situation: if you do, then additional analysis and action would be required.
    Consideration 3: Do all of your photo files have valid date taken metadata (like the date entered in the photo file by the camera) ? What is the sequence of the photo files within a folder of your existing folder structure - for example have you renamed photo files in order to give them as specific sequence within a folder ?
    Note: If you have additional questions about this process, I recommend that you identify which version of PSE you are running and which Windows operating system level. These version levels might not make a specific difference - but it will be better for any responders to your question to know specifically which versions you have.

  • Portrait Photo Album not available in v10

    I'm beginning to wish I had not bought this software.  I want to create a portrait orientated photo album but only landscape and square options are available. SQUARE?  Who the heck would print a square album?
    From searching the forum on this subject I see folks wanting this 6 years ago so Adobe have no intention of adding a portrait option to Photo Album.  Add this to the no 'sort by name' in Organizer and I wonder how Elements 10 gets the ratings it does.
    Very disillusioned.
    John

    John,
    One of the big advantages of PSE over many competitors is that you can take advantage of layers and layer masks. That's even a big plus over Lightroom, and the reason why many LR users also use Elements as a pixel editor after the main edits have been made in LR.
    Creating a book is creating composite pages including various images and texts and finally providing the resulting pages in a format compatible with your printing provider or your home printer.
    A photo book is not very different to any other illustrated book made by layout softwares such as Quark Express, InDesign or Scribus : the main accent is on the photos, less on the text. It is very common to provide either jpegs or pdfs to your provider.
    Most of the providers I am working with in France call for jpegs. I am also very happy with viovio in the States, they can take either jpegs or pdfs. You'll also find a lot of info about making books and a variety of templates for layouts. What you'll notice is that most providers on the Web offer a wide choice of templates to create pleasant layouts. What you can do with the 'create' option in PSE cal also be done with most other suppliers. And you can create your own layouts with the normal 'full edit' view in PSE rather than the 'create' assistant.
    Here are common steps when I am creating a book:
    - writing a kind of scenario to have an idea of the different parts of the book and its number of pages
    - using the Organizer to select the files, tagging, rating and finally creating one or several albums to help creating the pages
    - searching files to create 'backgrounds' on which pictures and text will be superimposed. In this phase I may use gradients, textures, shapes...
    - Composing pages is made by adding each picture or text element as individual layers, which you can resize and move at any time. You may use a variety of templates for this, but I prefer more freedom in the way I compose the page.
    - Using layer styles like drop shadows for different layers, adding text effects (bevels...)
    - saving each page as psd to keep all layers until the job is finished
    - Depending on your provider's requirements, upload all your jpeg pages, or upload a multipage pdf.

  • Dreamweaver/Photoshop Photo Album and linking

    created a photo album test in Photoshop so that I could
    include security features such as watermarks. Once I created the
    album I exported it to Dreamweaver where I have all my website
    files. I am now having some challenges integrating the Photoshop
    Photo Album within the Dreamweaver web site. Here are my
    challenges:
    1. I can't create a link out of the photo album to other
    destinations within my web page such as the Home Page, Purchase
    Pictures Page, etc. I need direction on how to enter text in the
    page and also creating the links.
    2. I also want to change the background color of the page.
    How can this be done?
    3. I would like to increase the size of the viewable area so
    the large photo is even larger and the thumbnails are totally
    visible without using the current scrolling mechanism. I would like
    to take up the whole screen and have the ability to change the
    color in the bakground to my choice. Additionally reduce the amount
    of spacing between the large photo and thumbnails also.
    4. Can I change the photo image descriptions which is
    currently img_6173.jpg for example?
    The test of this photo album can be viewed on
    SurfingPicturesEast.com under the Football section and choose "Test
    of Photoshop Web Photo Album".
    Thank you in advance for any help that can be offered.

    I'm using PS CS3 and it has nineteen templates for "Web Photo
    Gallery" and
    most of those have various customization options. Other than
    that you're
    going to have to go directly into the CSS and the HTML to
    modify the pages.
    Design view in Dreamweaver is unlikely to be of much help to
    you. If you
    aren't comfortable with css and html you are going to have a
    difficult time
    with this. I too needed to add links that weren't created in
    PS and I had to
    do it in code view. If there is a way to make the pages show
    anything useful
    in design view I didn't find it. Maybe someone with more
    expertise on this
    can be of more help to you.
    Good luck,

  • Photo Album Placement on Home Page

    Dreamweaver MX 2004, Fireworks MX 2004
    I have created a photo album and it works just fine in the
    separate document created by DW. I cannot, however, place the photo
    album on my home page, where I want it to reside. I've tried
    inserting the photo album file as a Fireworks HTML Image Object
    thru the "Inser" command, and get an error message that tells me
    the file is not a Fireworks HTML file. I've tried to copy and paste
    the code into my home page, and none of the links were working. I
    changed the links and the thumbnail files now work, but when I try
    to open a larger version of the thumbnail, the file is not found.
    I've worked on this until I'm numb (or dumb!). Is there a simpler
    way to import the photo album file into the home page document and
    have the photo album work properly?

    I'm not familiar with that method of generating a photo
    album, but you do have to make sure that all of the directories
    that contain the thumbnails and full-size photos are located
    somewhere under your main project directory, and that all are
    uploaded to your server. If you just paste code on your home page,
    but the links are pointing somewhere else on your hard drive, it's
    not going to work when uploaded.

  • Photo albums iphone 6

    Anyone having trouble restoring photo albums on iphone 6 ? I just set up iphone 6 with a backup I had from an older iphone. Everything syncs , except for photo albums, most of my photo albums didn't transfer over. Anyone else have this issue ?

    Mine did the same thing ...I had over 7,000 photos.  In my case I changed the USB port I was using on my computer, turned the lightning connector over and Reran the Backup again.  The top of the iTunes screen immediately started showing Step 6 of 6 with Photos loading 1 of 7,364 and so on.  The Music followed and then the Apps.  All is fine now. Who knows what actually went wrong.  The backup, even with over 7,000  photos probably took less than 30 minutes.
