One layer, many photos

What is the best way to use one layer in multiple photos. I separated a group of people in one photo and would like to place them in several other photos. I have been able to have the original photo in the bottom of Elements and copy the separated group. I can copy and paste that as a layer into the working area of another photo and then add it. However sometimes it blurs. Is this because the two photos are different resolutions? Is it possible to have the group as a seperate work but can not use that as a layer. I'm rather new to Elements and just trying to learn.

Hi,
Instead of Copy paste you can directly work with Layer via copy and duplicate layer command to desired Image.
1)select the object you want with the use of quick select tool .
2)Go to layer menu > new > layer via copy.(it made a seperate layer without affecting your original image)
3)Right click on the new layer and select Duplicate layer command.
4)In the Duplicate layer window select the image on which you want to copy the object.
5)Go to destination image , select new added layer , select the Move tool and work on bounding boxe to adjust the new layer content
yes , Pixel dimension difference shows blur on pasting/copying , But you can use the move tool 's Bounding box to adjust the object.

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

How do I use one of my photos as my wallpaper from the iPhoto app?

Hi, As the heading says - How do I use one of my photos as my wallpaper whilst using the iPhoto app please.

Obvious to you and me who are paying attention, but actually, if you look through the post topics, many people confuse iPhoto for iOS with iPhoto for the Mac.

How do i take one layer with multiple selections...

how do i take one layer with multiple selections and make those selections their own layer?

Yes sir. It w was really hard to explain. It is discontiguous segments that are separated by transparent areas. And I want those non transparent areas to be on their own layer. I have a photo shop file that has a bunch of buttons on them and they are on a transparent background. It is one layer. I want to select all the buttons and put them on their own layers. I can do this manually by selecting a button and cmd Just to a new layer, but when I have 200 buttons it is a daunting task.

How do I copy and paste vector art from one layer to another, keeping all of its attributes?

When I copy a vector shape from one layer to another, the shape picks up the color attributes of an existing shape in the second layer (or sometimes only the outline of the shape appears). What to I do to avoid this from happening (I just just want to paste the shape in its original form and color)?

OK - I guess this is a little more difficult than I imagined...
Merge Layers rasterizes all the vector shapes - I want all the shapes to stay as vectors in the second (pasted) layer.
Merge Shapes changes the color of the copied vector shape - I don't want to change the color
Shape Layer via Copy [Ctrl] +[J] copies the layer containing the vector shape, but doesn't paste it into the second layer
Any other ideas? Or, is it possible that PhotoShop doesn't support varied colored vector shapes on the same layer? I am coming from an InDesign background, and there was no issue having many different (colored) vector objects on the same layer.

How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor

How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor at one time. I receive the error message, "Unable to Import Files", which says "You exceeded number of files that can be selecteed and imported at once...." What is the number? Secondly is there a way around this for either the Organizer or Editor to work on thousands of photos at the same time?
Thanks

I have never heard of this particular limit before.
Please understand, this appears to be the limit you can import into the Organizer at one time -- you can have as many photos as you want in the Organizer; but apparently you have to import in batches rather than all at once.
I don't think it applies to the editor; and I can't imagine wanting to have more then a few files in the editor at any one time ... even if you could open 2000 photos in the editor at once, what sense would that make?

Many Photos, my own and others, can no longer be seen on Flickr. How can I fix this?

When I go to "You" on my Flickr account, most of my photos do not show up. I cannot edit them or add titles because i cannot see them. Only the ones with photos can be brought up. When I open my groups many photos do not show up, only the the photographers user name. When I click on that, it only takes me to his/her photostream but not the photo. This has been going on for at least a couple of weeks. It makes it very difficult for me to administer or run my groups when I cannot see the photos.

See:
* [[Images or animations do not show]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
*You can see the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
*You can see all image exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions

Thank you very much for your reply gdgmacguy :) I did all you suggested apart from restore as new device . Didn't know I could do that . After restore I did restore from back up only, as I didn't want to end up without contacts details on my phone. If I restore as new device how do I get my all contacts? Still will have to use back up? Sorry if it sounds like I don't know what i am doing, i just have no one to ask who would know. Thank you

I have so many photos I only have 1G of memory left. How can I move the photos to my external hard drive that is connected to my iMac?

I have so many photos on my Mac I only have 1G of memory left. How can I move the photos to the external hard drive that is plugged into my iMac.

1GB? It's a miracle your Mac is running at all!
This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Help!!! I have many photo albums that cannot be deleted!!!

Can anyone tell me why does my iPhone 4 has many photo albums that it has created by itself? For example, everytime l took a picture using the phone's camera, the photo always have two copies in two different album. Also, it is impossible for me to delete only one of the two albums that contain the same files inside, l can only delete both of them toghther, which is not what l want. Can somebody help me in this WIERD PROBLEM please???

The iPhone does no such thing. When a photo is captured with your iPhone or saved from a received email, MMS, or website, a single copy is stored in the Camera Roll. If you have HDR enabled for capturing a photo along with keep the normal photo selected as well, two copies of the captured photo will be saved in the Camera Roll - the normal version, and the HDR version. Photos captured by the iPhone are stored on one place - in the Camera Roll. Now with Photo Stream enabled with iOS 5, a copy will be placed in the Photo Stream as well.
All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process - selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. The folder(s) or album(s) of photos selected to be transferred will be available under Photo Library. The photos in the folder(s) or album(s) below are not duplicated. They contain a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a folder or album only by selecting the folder/album, or you can view all photos in all folders/albums transferred from your computer by selecting Photo Library.
This cannot be changed.

How many photos can I put in elements

I just recently bought a new computer. I had someone else transfer all my files to the new computer. I have been using Elements for years now (different versions). I now have version 12. Along the years, unfortunately, my photos became very mixed up with some on my hard drive and some on 2 external drives. So, I think I have now loaded them all into one folder on my new computer. I would like to import them into Elements. I know I have not done this correctly and at this point, probably have lost all my tags and categories, etc. So, I'm basically resigning myself to starting over and just loading them all in as new. My question is how many photos will Organizer hold? Now, I realize it is not really holding the photo merely a thumbnail that is pointing to the actual photo location. I thought if that was the case, it could hold an endless amount of "thumbnails". My husband says that is incorrect. Right now I have a little over 100,000 photos!! I tried loading them all once but received conflicting messages that they loaded/did not load. They eventually were not there. I'm trying again but am wondering if this is just too many photos. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brenda

First, let me tell you "thanks" for responding to my question. I really like using Elements (but am not as savvy as I should be after all these years) but have a hard time resolving issues with Adobe. So, I appreciate you getting back to me.
The good news is almost all my photos did load into Organizer the second time I tried! It is missing about 300 because "the format was not supported" or something. I'm not too concerned about these. My husband keeps back ups so I'm sure we have them somewhere. I wouldn't be able to tell which ones they are anyway!
Just for info. I have an HP Envy laptop running Windows 8.1.
I was having an issue with getting the "sharing" mail feature going but finally received the verification code after adding the Adobe email address to my contacts (good advice from another discussion).
So, I guess one of the other big questions I have is about the "tags" on my photos. When the photos were being imported this time, it did ask me what tags I wanted to import. I selected "all" and it looked like it worked but when I open the "tags/info" view, none of my tags are there. Do you think they are still on the photos and if so, how do I "show" them?
Thanks, again,
Brenda

Why does a my layered Illustrator file open with only one layer, when opened by someone else?

I am using CS6, as is the other user. When they open the file in Illustrator all the artwork is on one layer, even though the original file has numerous layers, and opens with these layers when I open it even now.
I have never come across this problem before in all the years I have used Illustrator and have had no joy when trying to search for this problem.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated as it is confusing us!
Thank you.

Hi Mike, Wade & Larry,
Thank you so much for your replies.
Since I posted this issue, I was later informed that the other user is infact opening my files with CS5 and so a quick solution to this was saving it down to a previous version! Sorry for the confusion!
This problem then becomes clear that it was a version error, but I have always had an error message come up if I try to open something that was created in a newer verion - is this no longer the case?
I have been assured no pop up messages appear when opening the file which I find odd, and also that this layer compression has only just started happening even though many files have been back and forth previously.
A little mystery! At least for now it is all working ok again
Thank you all very much, greatly appreciated.

Can I limit how much/many photos are stored in iCloud photos(beta)?

ex. my most recent 1500 photos/4GB etc.., to manage iCloud storage space just like the old iCloud photo stream had a limit? I'm just wondering if anyone has experience on this yet? I would assume there must be some type of allocation dedicated to backup and then to miscellaneous like photos, documents etc.. depending on whatever storage plan you have purchased. I cannot find any clear direction that would explain this? I have so many photos I don't want to be bumped up to a TB of space when I'm also saving them locally on my Mac.
THANKS!

maybe I'm overthinking this one and I just need to offload pics to my local machine when I reach a capacity/number of pictures I want to be accessible in the cloud? Would love to know what exactly the features of the upcoming photos for Yosemite are, as that may answer my questions.

How many photos is too much

I realize that this is one of those "your mileage may vary" type questions, but here goes:
How many photos is too much for a single iphoto library? Have people either encountered problems after reaching a certain threshold? Or are there people who have lots of photos with no problems at all?
I am in the process of trying to consolidate several iphoto libraries into one huge library. I say "trying," because I am running into problems with importing thousands of photos. The master library will have around 50,000 photos, although a good many of them will probably be duplicates (which is another hassle).
Because the consolidation is such a pain, I am wondering if it will be worth it. Is 50,000 photos OK for a library? What about 100,000?
Thanks for any words of wisdom.

In addition to Terence's suggestions make sure that in the Photos mode you have the Event titles displayed and only open those events you're working with. Having no Event titles displayed and all of thumbnails displayed will greatly slow down iPhoto whether it be 6 or 7.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.
