Opening several pictures in Finder

Sometimes I receive folders with several photos and I want to check them out without using iPhoto so I select all the pictures (since you can't open 1 photo and just click next or something) and do +O to open all the photos. But the order the photos appear aren't the order I chose for the folder and aren't the order set by the photos name (photo 1, photo 2, photo 3, ...).
How can I do this (choose a specific order to open the photos with preview)?

Someone, somewhere screwed up a function that keeps things in order, this shows up in Finder, Slideshow, and opening things in batches. If you put the folder in Column view, then select them they will open in alphanumeric order, as they show in the Column view. If you have them in List view and drag and drop them on to the Preview icon they SHOULD open in alphanumeric order. If you want to open them in some other order, such as Date Created, I think you are out of luck.

When I try to open some pictures in finder with preview I get a message that I do not have permission to open it. It tells me to go to file - info. Don't know what to do from there.

When you do Get Info for a picture, what does it say in Sharing & Permissions for your username. The Privilege should be "Read & Write"

I cannot open several pictures from my old iPhoto library which I saved on an external HDD.

Hi,
I saved my old iPhoto library on an external HDD and successfully opened them in past several times. But now with iPhoto 11 v. 9.2.3 all I can see is a black triangle (image attached) for majority of my pictures and folder from my old iPhoto library on the external drive. Several times I tried rebuilding iPhoto library but that did not help.
I am runnig MAC OS X 10.6.8 with most recent updates.
Thanks in advance for yor help,
I must admit its highly frustrating. Sometime I feel, am I still using the same Apple product or it is something else .

that indicates a disconnect to the original photos - have you deleted any photos using the finder or run any clean up software?
If no then download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use the rebuild command in the free trial to create a new library leaving the existing one as is

Opening multiple pictures in Photoshop

I am working on a picture file, jpegs, changing the size, the level, etc. I open several pictures usually
3 or 4 and when I try to open the next I receive a pop up error message that says: "Could not
complete your request because of a program error.” This has just started to happen recently,
probably since I upgraded to CS6. Previously I could work on a file and have 100 or so pictures
open and still be able to open additional pictures. I have downloaded and in installed all available
updates and the message I receive when I check for updates is: “Your applications are up-to-date
as checked less than a minute ago.” I tried to Edit>Purge>All, Reset Preferences, Deleted the
Adobe Photoshop Ver. 6 Prefs.psp folder and pressed Ctrl+Alt+Shift on Photoshop startup and
deleted Adobe Photoshop Settings file. Did not work, what next?

Update your graphics driver or turn off OpenCL/ OpenGL in the prefs. Pretty obviously you are running out of graphics card VRAM because your buffers fail to flush, which is a driver problem...

Problem opening multiple pictures in Photoshop

Problem opening multiple pictures in Photoshop. OldBob1957 has given me some suggestions on how to overcome this problem. I tried to Edit.Purge>All, Reset Preferences, Delete the Adobe Photoshop x Prefs.psp folders and Ctrl+Alt+Shift on Photoshop startup. Did not work, what next? Delete all the PSP folders.? There are 45 more in my computer. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Noel:
I reset the max memory to the high side as suggested but the results when I opened the pictures and changed them was the same. I could open four but nto the fifth one.

When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?

When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file? It does not happen with all the pictures.

Is you library a "referenced" or "managed" library:
That message is generated when a library is a "referenced" library and the location of the files have been moved from where they were when originally imported into iPhoto.
Are the photos that this is happening to in the same Event(s)?
What system are your running? Where is your library located? How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

I can´t open a picture by clicking at a thumbnail.

When clicking on a thumbnail to open the picture, it look like that the application displays the picture, but the screen becomes black. But I can see all pictures in every folder. Who can help me?
Some days ago I installed the new OS Lion and I guess also a new version of iPhoto11. Before that action all was fine. It looks like, that something with the installations went wrong?

iPhoto 11 is not part of Lion. It requires a separate purchase.
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Whenever i go to open a picture message in full view the black loading screen just comes up with no picture? (verizon iphone 5)

I have a 32gig iphone 5 on verizon and whenever i go to open a picture message the black screen that says loading just comes up and i can't view the picture... any help? PLEASE!

Try using the wall charger to charge your iPhone. Some USB ports do not enough power to charge your phone, or at the very least, it will take a much longer time than a wall charger.
You will find that after having it plugged into the wall for 10min, it will have enough power to indicate that the battery is now charging.
Save your money from buying a battery for your next iPhone :-)

How do you open 2 pictures at the same time

Hello Everyone,
I have just brought the above and am a complete newby to Photoshop.
I can't believe that this simple task is proving to be impossible for me so please try not to laugh.
All I want to do is open 2 pictures up in Photoshop so they are side by side ready for me to blend them. Blending them isn't a problem as I have learned this. My problem is when I select 2 of my pictures it loads just one of them into Photoshop which is then the background layer. I can't move it or anything. When I close this picture the second one then appears as the background image like the first one. When I have seen other people open 2 pictures, they simply open them both like I have done and they come in side by side.
Why won't mine do this? Is there a button I'm missing before I open them?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

That's great, thank you!!! It's only taken me ALL day to find this out. Quite simple as I expected.
Thank you very much both of you.

Cannot open two pictures at the same time - computer crashes

I have PSE7 and Windows7. I cannot open two pictures at the same time. When I go to open the second picture it crashes PSE7. Anyone know how I can open two pictures at the same time? What is the fix?

Hello Shawbrah
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, your method is actually the only workaround for a workplace with PSE7, but it isn't a solution for our enterprise network/domain.
There are different problems:
We have several computers with PSE7 installed. It does not make sense to manually install a local TCP/IP-printer on each PC.
We have many fluctuation in our company which means that the workplaces will often be moved and the PCs will often be replaced.
If the employees are printing over a local printer, our centralized printer monitor solution does not recognise print volumes.
The printers which are defined on our print server have special tray settings and these settings are "linked" to the core business application. Users should not be able to print with other settings, this could end in a chaos.
Finally to work with PSE in our company, there is no other way than upgrade to PSE8...

Updated to Maverick, had a desktop folder for pictures I had transferred from my PC. That folder is gone, no icons in Pictures in Finder but the photos are still in images in All My Files! How do I get the organized folder back?

I had transferred all my photo files from my PC when I got my Mac Air. They were in a desktop folder all nicely organized in files (event, dates, etc.) That desktop folder is now gone after the Maverick update. When I click on Pictures in finder it comes up empty (not even a link to Iphoto) I had not put these pictures in iphoto yet. Before Mavericks when I clicked on Pictures the Iphoto icon and my folder showed up. My Iphoto itself is working fine and and those pictures are still intact. I know the pictures are on my Mac because they are all in Images, but they are no longer organized and are no longer in sequence. I would like to know if I my "intact" folder may still be somewhere on my computer. If not what is the best and most efficient way to get those photos from the images only file to Iphoto?

I actually just noticed the "media" option is no longer listed along the left side of Finder. I think that is where I accessed iphoto and my other picture folder.
There is no media option in the Finder. That only turns up in Open... Dialogues like this:

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.

Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in Adobe Digital Editions?

Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in different windows in Adobe Digital Editions like Adobe Reader ?

As far as I know, it isn't.
You can run both ADE2.0 and ADE 1.7.2 at the same time, with different books open.
Also Sony Reader (free download intended for Sony eReader users, but works even without) will let you have a third book open.
~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
