Numerical Order for Photos

Hello,
I am trying to do one very simple thing.
Have the photos in the timeline appear in numberical order. After all, that is the order they were taken in, I want them in that order.
I can not find a way to do that other than by drag and drop which isn't an option. I have between 100-300 photos every time I start a new project and many projects to do per week.
Please tell me how to do this.
The general overview is : I have photos in Aperture and want to burn them in numerical order on to a dvd that can be played in a household dvd player.
I used to play with them in Photoshop, then import them to iPhoto, then share them with iDVD - that all worked well for me - but with trying to introduce Aperture and eliminate Photoshop everything has gone belly up.
I COULD play with them in Aperture and then import them into iPhoto - but when I do that - for some reason iPhoto renames the photos from say 1234 10x8 to 1234 (1) - which is hard for me to explain to my client. . .
I would be more than grateful for any guiding hands about now - am losing whole days on this.
Powerbook G4 17 inch Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have no experience with Aperture. But if the Aperture names are okay, the Import command in both iMovie and iDVD should deliver images the way you want.
Dragging photos from a Finder window randomizes the order, but the File > Import command works as you want.
To import more than one photo, hold down the Shift key or Command key to select the photos, then hit Open.

Purchase order for photo studio pro

Hi I'm looking for my purchase order for photo studio pro !

Numerical order of photos in Elements 6

I want to transfer photos from My Pictures folder to named folders in Photoshop Elements 6 Organizer.
When I Get Photos, the Getting Photos dialog shows the photos in numerical order as they are transferred.
But when they are displayed in Organizer and moved to their named folder, they are no longer in numerical order and seem to be in order of when taken/modified etc.
I am not interested in this or Timelines. I just want the photos in their original order.
Is there any way of doing this?
Tim

>n answer to your concern, Barb, about the sequence after editing a photo from a digital camera, once the photo is edited/modified, it loses its original taken date.
I am still concerned about the loss of the original taken date. That does not happen for my digital camera photo files that are in the Organizer.
>now I just get a message saying that the files are not visible in Organizer. Why?
Maybe previously you were previously working with a folder for which you had imported the photo files to the Organizer and this time you chose a folder where the photo files had NOT been imported to the Organizer.
The folder structure shown on the left hand side of a Folder Location screen looks very similar to Windows Explorer - but it does not function the same. You can NOT use all of the folder structure that you see. When you look at the folder tree on the left side, any folder which contains at least one photo file that has been imported to the PSE Organizer has an icon superimposed on the folder image. (I am not sure how to describe this icon, so I suggest that you look at a folder where you did import photos to identify the appearance of the icon.)
The Organizer only displays photos that have been imported to it.
>The other thing I once saw but cannot repeat, is when I Show All in Thumbnails view, the photos were separated into folders as in the Albums. Now they are all muddled together. What did I inadvertently press?
First, a concept. Folders are a structure of the Windows Operating System. Albums in Photoshop Elements are not the same as folder: an Album is like a list of photo files where each photo is assigned a specific position in the sequence of photos.
The photo files that are in any specific album may or may be contained within the same Windows folders. If some photos in a Windows folder are in a specific PSE Album, other photos files in that folder may not be in that specific Album. Also, photo file abc.jpg which resides in Folder1 may be included in multiple PSE albums: yet there is still only one copy of that photo file abc.jpg.
There is also (in recent PSE versions) a concept of a Smart Album: in this case the customer identifies some characteristics of their photos and the program automatically creates an album of the photo files that have these characteristics. Note: smart albums will not be mentioned at the photofanatic web site because they were introduced after that web site was written.
So I can not immediately identify when the photos would be separated in to folders except when you are in the Folder Location layout of the screen.

Sorting pictures in numerical order for slideshow using Iphoto 7.1.3

I have scanned hundreds of old slides and assigned titles with an ascending numerical code which I hoped Iphoto would then sort numerically in a slide show.
This is not happening!
When I sort by title (the numerical code) Iphoto seems to place them in some binary
sequence e.g. 1,10,100,101,102 etc. I want them 1,2,3,4,5,etc.
Help! What am I doing wrong? How can I get them in proper numerical sequence without manually moving them around on the screen?
When I view the files in their folder as a list they all show in proper numerical sequence. Why will Iphoto not sort them the same way?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. At Terence pointed out the alphanumerical listing in iPhoto requires a zero to be added before numbers 1 thru 9 (for less than 99 photos) in order for the numbers to be in the natural order. Renaming as Terence suggested, Photos->Batch Change->Title to Text with sequential numbers added will pad zeros accordingly so you'll get -01, -02, etc., or if more than 100 files, -001, -002, -020, etc.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Sort order for photos synched from Aperture

I have synched photos from Aperture to the Apple TV, but the sort order when shown on Apple TV is not the same as the sort order in Aperture. Does anyone have an idea about which metadata field in Aperture is being used by Apple TV to determine the sort?

Hi this is my first append to Apple support so things may go pear shaped...
I have the same problem as you describe and have discovered that the order appears to be consistent with the file NAME order (as seen in Finder) This is not the camera file name but the version name I gave it when I imported the file into Aperture. I then exported the album to the desktop and streamed it to Appletv. (iTunes #count/album is sometimes wrong)
Given a file list of say 40 files, the new (incorrect Appletv re-sorted) order follows a pattern based on the FIRST numeric decimal digit in the filename!
Example - I have a folder containing 40 consecutive images - the new order these images will be displayed by Appletv will be as follows
1 10[...]19 2 20[...]29 3 31[...]39 4 40 5 6 7 8 9
I've proved this by photographing 40 separate image files each one showing a number in the range of 1 to 40 as an individual image. These are in order by number (as appears in the image) & file number assigned by the camera, and also therefore by file date time. I imported them into Aperture and assigned them the Version name of 'Number' + sequence.
So, when I view image file #1 named 'Number 1 of 40' I see the number '1' and the EXIF tells me it was taken at 28/07/2007 13:33:16 BDT. Similarly when I view image file #40 named 'Number 40 of 40' I see the number '40' and the EXIF tells me it was taken at 28/07/2007 13:37:34 BDT.
I CAN CHANGE the order Appletv displays these by renaming them - eg change file name 'Number 10 of 40' to 'Number 41 of 40' makes it appear at the end. The sequence now becomes 1 11-19 etc 40 41. Nothing else appears to have changed.
I've since found that a separate burn of different files(29) using Toast followed the same pattern.
Since starting this append iTunes has the added the album of 40 numbers to its list and I have just viewed them on Atv slideshow. Bizarrely the order is different again - 3,5,2,4,1,10,13,15,6,11,14,7,8,12,9,32,17,33,26,22,23,28,18,29,20,24,35,16,21,3 1,19,25,30,34,27,37,38,40,39,36. Random is off. Please can we have a fix for this or at least a workaround.
Thanks.

Wrong sort order for Photos taken in rapid sequence

Hi!
I have a number of Photos that are taken on the same second. These show up in what appear to be random order in the organizer. Is there any workaround for this, let´s say by first sorting on timestamp and then by file name (if timestamp is equal).
This must be a common problem with todays cameras taking a lot of photos in rapid sequence, but just timestaming them with a resolution of one second.
Please help!
Cheers!
/ Håkan

Thanks for the proposal, and yes, I could fix the problem in a number of ways, for instance by changing the timestamp of the pictures.
But as I see it, PSE 7 should have a built in feature for handling this issue. Frankly, handling this automatically should be one of the most basic features of the organiser. Any modern digital camera have the possibility to take several shots per second.
Please Adobe, fix this !

How can I combine orders for photo albums, to save on the delivery charge?

I want to buy 3 different albums I created in iPhoto
However, the programme wants me to buy each individually, and charges for delivery each time.
How can I combine the orders?

You can't.

Is there software to reorganize scanned journal pages (1-16, 2-15, 3-14, etc. to numerical order?

A copy center helped me create a DVD by scanning journal pages by opening the journal, scanning the pages 1-16, 2-15, 3-14, down to 8-9, etc. There were actually more pages, but I hope you get the idea of each set of two-side-by-side pages which had been stapled or bound in the center. We wanted to burn them onto a CD in their proper numerical order. Is there any software available that is compatible with one of the Adobe Acrobat series to reorganize them into numerical order for burning/printing?

If I'm understanding this correctly, you scanned each page individually so now each page is just out of order. You can reorder the pages in Acrobat by opening the page thumbnails sidebar and dragging and dropping the pages to where they need to go.

Preserving numerical order of imported photos

I am working on a project consisting of still photographs imported into FCP. the photos are in .psd format, and are named/numbered sequentially, such as this:
DSCN0001, DSCN0002...etc.
sometimes the numbers might not begin at 0001, but they are always in ascending numerical order.
I have discovered that sometimes their order, after placed into the time line is out of numerical sequence, which is a problem bcs thousands of photos will be involved in this beast. tweezing thousands of images into correct order would be...not good..
Is there a non-manual way for me to correct the photos' order after they've been place and/or ensure they they remain in correct numerical order even before I do the importing?
thank you!
r

If you sort them by name in the Browser, they should go in the order that they appear there. but numbers are tricky sometimes. If they absolutely ascend I think it should work OK.
You can also view by icons, and place them in order. left to right, then next row down - left to right etc.

Photo order for slideshow

I have a directory of 300 photos, numbered 1-300, which are in the order I want them in...they are not in date order at all. how can i preserve my order when pulling into the organizer in elements for slideshow creation?
a related topic...any batch renumbering utility in elements?

Hi,
I'm not too clear on how you have numbered the photos. If you have just renamed each photo with the number then there could be a problem in ordering the photos in PSE. In PSE, the folder view displays the photos in alphabetic order not numeric order.
So, photos could appear in a different order:-
Numeric order : 1, 2, 10, 20
Alphabetic order : 1, 10, 2, 20
When renaming photos, to preserve the order for other viewers, it is best to use leading zeros to pad each number (e.g. 001, 020, 300).
To get them int PSE, just do Get Photos and Videos -> From Files and Folders and point to the folder containing the photos. Note that the getting of the photos does not take a copy of the photos, it just catalogs them.
Once they have been imported, switch to Folder Location in the Display options (top right) and select the folder where your photos are. If you have the naming right, the photos should appear in the correct order.
Now create an Album tag and apply it all the photos.
You can now switch to Thumbnail View in the Display options (my preferred view to work in) and if you select the album tag, the photos should be displayed in the correct order. In album view, you can drag the photos around into the order you want.
When you want to create you slideshow, just select all the photos in the album.
Personally, I don't bother renaming photos, I just import them into PSE and select the ones I want and allocate an album tag to them. In album view, I then move the photos around into the order I want and then create the slideshow.
For you last topic, why do you want to renumber the photos? There is the Export facility which enables you to copy the photos to an new folder and you can apply a sequence number.
Hope that the above was helpful

How to save. photos in numerical order?

I want to take photos every day and need to store them in albums. I want the albums to have a numerical I.d. such as
scene1. scene2. and so on. however, the albums do not into the numerical order, but rather stay in position of the last
album to be added, the scenes do not take place in numerical order....so today might be scene 12, 8, 54 and tomorrow
might be scene 108, 33' 16. and so on.   I therefore do not want to store the albums in day taken order, but in
numerical order.
thanks

sorry, but this does not solve the problem. thanks for answer though. I know I need to add an album, this is not a problem, but the album does. it stay in numerical order, it stays I think in date shot order, which is not
what I what. let's say you make an album today which is called. scene18.   tomorrow you make an album
called scene9.
on screen the album will appear as scene 18 with album scene 9 to the right of it. therefore   this is not
being shown in numerical order.

Can I use an iTunes gift card to order a photo book from iPhoto for iOS?

When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them. Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.

You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.

I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

No. Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days. Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

8.1 did not sort the sort order for events in photos app

With 7000 photos in more than 300 events You must have them in alphabetic order as before in 7.1 The pictures are synced from iMac iPhoto. How to do a search. The events are not found by names

When I drag albums into the correct order in Photos for Mac, they show up in reverse order on the iOS devices. Thus there seems to be a bug in either iOS 8.3, OS 10.10.3 or iCloud Photo Library.
The browser version of iCloud Photo Library (icloud.com) is currently updating. I am waiting to see which way my albums are sorted there.
There is no promise at all, or documented anywhere, how sorting of library items will sync across the devices. This has been haphazard when syncing iPhoto Libraries - synced faces not sorted, synced events not sorted, etc. So it is at least a step in the right direction, in Photos that the albums are sorted at all.
