Organizing photos on the fly on the Touch.

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone has figured a way to organize or at least mark specifiy photos on the Touch so that they are easier to find when browsing through them? I've got over 3000 pics on mine and it's a pain in the *** trying to recall specific photos. Is there a way to Mark them some how? It would be nice if you could create albums while on the iPod.
Or like creating an album on the fly by pressing and holding on a photo and then it adds the photo to a new album. If that functionality isn't there already, it would be nice if someone could add a program that let you do this...
Just an idea.
Thanks,
Jeff

Unfortunantely, there is no way yet, maybe on June, maybe from someone else, who knows.
Until then: www.apple.com/feedback

  • How to get CLEAR photos on the Touch?

    I love my iPod touch, but there's one thing that has always bothered my - photos sync'd through iPhoto-->iTunes are grainy and have bad color. Until now, I've been unable to prove this - but finally I've found a way to prove that it's not just in my head. So, I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to get clear photos on the Touch ... ?
    First of all, after using the app "PhoneView" to download my sync'd pictures from my iPod BACK to my Mac, I've noticed that the resolutions are different for pictures, depending on whether their orientation is portrait or landscape. For portrait 4x6 images, the resolution is indeed 480x320. However, for landscape orientation, the resolution is consistently 640x426. I think it's kind of odd that iTunes would be sizing photos differently depending on their orientation ... I usually have my full-resolution pictures in iPhoto and sync those images through iTunes, but today I also tried manually resizing my pictures to 640x426 (landscape) and 480x320 (portrait) and then syncing them as a folder, rather than through iPhoto. The results were the same as doing it through iPhoto: disappointing. I've put together a sample, below:
    !http://www.mavisxp.com/ipod/iTunes_compression.png!
    and another example here.
    As you can see, even the manually resized images are turning out horribly grainy. What's even more disappointing than the image quality, however, is the file size: my original JPG is 84KB, but the iTunes' "optimized" JPG is five times as large (456KB) with inaccurate color and awful grain to boot. I mean, it looks like someone dribbled a basketball all over a glossy print (seriously, that grain's pattern is an exact match with the grain on a basketball) ... Is it supposed to look like that?
    +After examining the EXIF data for both pictures, I've noticed another oddity which explains the bad color at least - when iTunes 'optimizes' pictures for the iPod, it apparently assigns them your monitor's color profile! Was this just an oversight that has yet to be corrected? When I export my pictures from Lightroom to iPhoto, I always use the sRGB profile because it's the most standard profile to use when sharing pictures (posting online, emailing, etc) ... My iMac's color profile is a custom Spyder2Pro profile, but that profile is only accurate for THIS MONITOR - certainly not my iPod! Anyway, I've uploaded the original pictures if anyone is interested in checking them out - you can download them in a zip archive here.+
    This is the second iPod I've noticed grainy pictures with, so I know it's not just defective hardware. So I guess my question is simple: does anyone know of ANY way to get clear photos sync'd with the iPod Touch or iPhone? I've poked through plists in iTunes.app and preferences, etc - but I haven't found anything. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply, Duddo.
    I guess you're right, Apple probably just wanted to simplify the syncing process and make it consistent for all users. And no, most users probably won't notice that awful grain and poor color reproduction.
    That said, I think it's a real shame to waste the capabilities of the iPhone/Touch like this. Wasting storage space is asinine (increasing file size 5X when 'optimizing'?!) not only due to the limited storage space available in the first place, but also due to the fact that smaller files are quicker and easier to load and manipulate. Overwriting color profiles is just sloppy coding, an oversight - hopefully one they'll soon fix. But the biggest problem for me is that the pinch/zoom functionality is USELESS because if you zoom in at all, the grain is so blatantly obvious. I found an old discussion thread on another forum which mentions this problem, according to several posters there, the grain problem was introduced AFTER the iPhone launched (meaning it can likely be corrected in a firmware update or an iTunes update) ... You can check out that discussion here, if you're interested:
    http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/iphone/not-optimize-photos-8264.html
    Anyway thanks again for your reply. I'll keep my eye on this thread and if I hear anything about this issue (or a workaround) I'll be sure to post it!

  • Photos on the Touch

    1. What is the best size to make photos for the Touch?
    2. Some of my photos do not seem to fill the entire screen, even though their physical dimensions are very large. I am talking about when I view these images either in vertical or horizontal views. Why is this?
    Thanks.

    Hi Steve
    The larger photos will have a different ratio than the screen of your iPod. The iPod has a screen size of 320x240. Therefore only photos that have the same ratio as this size will fill the screen.
    As an example my 1680x1050 pixel desktop iMac pictures will scale down to fill the screen on my 1440x900 pixel MacBook Pro screen without having to stretch it in any direction.
    Hope this is helpful...

  • Simple way to get a photo onto the Touch?

    Is there any way--including 3rd party app--to get a single photo, or a few pics, onto the Touch? Sometimes I just want to get something on the Touch without the bother of adding it to iPhoto or creating a dedicated folder, copying the pic to it, manually designating that folder in iTunes, etc.
    In this case, I have a picture of a menu I found online, and I want to be able to reference it to call in an order when I'm out. Since I can't count on available wifi to retrieve it, I'd like to easily get it onto the Touch for when I need it.

    or call it up when you do have wifi, hold your finger on it, and save the photo to your ipod.

  • Please help...I can't sync my photos to the touch

    In itunes it says it's syncing and preparing photos and all that jazz...but then it's not on the touch. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?

    I had similar problems, especially with iTunes being so crappy at giving me any status indication (other than a static 'preparing' or 'synching' msg blinking for hours on end)....any interruption seems to restart the entire process (including a multi-hour attempt that aborted with the helpful msg: 'error encountered').
    I found the problem was overloading the beasty. iTunes insists on resampling the entire library before attempting to synch photos, which are done after all other media is synched (music, then vids, then tv, then photos - space permitting).
    Instead of synching ALL photos, create a single folder named 'iphotos', possibly with subfolders (fam, work, girls, etc). Place a LIMITED TEST amount of photos, and then synch JUST this folder. Increase the fotos in this folder as you become bolder - nice to finally see it work (I'm up to 5K+ photos loaded).
    Very pretty device, but I'm frustrated with the forced resampling (there is NO 'retain full resolution' option. Makes for the nifty-zoom gesture to be crippled as your zoom generates muddy garbage instead of the razor-sharp detail the display could be showing.
    I am also a little freaked that it self-created a folder marked 'Photo Gallery' with a copy of EVERY photo in every subfolder - placing the secret more mature content side-by-side with the kids and family shots. There will have to be a way to sort or content, much as I can create tv-folders to at least segment content.
    Last gripe of the night: I cant figure out how to delete photo content from the iTouch (there, I said it: iTouch!) without redocking and resynching all the photos again; one stupid photo in the bunch and I'm back to the dock for a multi-hour frustration.
    Am hoping the JailBreak comes soon, as this could be more wonderful than it is yet (singing the early-adopter-ipod-blues).

  • Organizing photos in the catalog

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WSC09A070C-703A-47ca-B473-62454756B1D4.html

    Several ways to do this:
    In the filter bar, choose metadata, then select keyword as the criterion for the first two columns, then select keyword 1 in column 1, and keyword 2 in column 2, etc.
    Use a smart collection, create a smart rule that selects only those photos with the combination of keywords that you want
    In the filter bar, choose text, select keywords from the dropdown menu, then "contains all", then type in your keywords

  • How do I move organized photos from dropbox to iPhoto and share with another user on the same mac?

    I have about 3,500 photos sitting in dropbox and just purchased my first mac yesterday.  My husband and I each have our own Ipad and our own user id's on the mac.  I moved two of the folders to Iphoto and it shows up on my screen in the right folders.  However, on my Ipad, it shows all of them under one Photostream and not organized.  They don't show up on my husband's "side of the computer" at all. 
    So my questions are:
    1.  How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
    2.  How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
    Thanks!

    1.  How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
    If you use the Photo Stream, the organisation in iPhoto will be lost - there is just one endless stream.  YOu could sync your photos using iTunes. Then you will see the synced albums in the Photos.app on the iPad.
    See this link:   iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
    On the same iPad?  Do you mean on the same mac?
    If you want to share an iPhoto library between two users on the same mac, the iPhoto library should be on a separate disk partition or even better, on a separate external disk. Then you can set the flag "Ignore ownership on this volume" to avoid permission problems. Both of you will be able to browse the iPhoto library and can edit the photos within.
    See this support document:  iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    If both of you want to keep separate iPhoto libraries but share the photos, you could share selected albums as Shared PhotoStreams and invite each other to browse them. This would require iOS 7. Do you have iOS 7 on your iPad?  Each Shared Photo Stream will be shown as a separate album on your iPad .

  • TS1314 I have lots of organized photos on my PC and I want to keep them organized to sync to ipad.... how is the best way to do this?

    I have spent a lot of time saving, organizing and arranging photos (for the last 7 years) on my PC, and would like to know the best way to transfer these, AND MAINTAIN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE FOLDERS, to my new ipad (and later, my iphone). I have a really good system, and I do not want to have to do it all over again, on the ipad. I DO NOT want to subscribe to another monthly service fee (i.e. the iCloud) but DO have iTunes on my PC.
    What is the simplest method to do this ?  I have tried synching, but, each time have lost photos (on my ipad) OR have had NO ORGANIZATION AT ALL to the photos once synced.  I have all these photos (5.6gb) in the My Pictures folder, then subdivided into years, then subdivided into events and months within the years.  So, my transfer of the My Picures folder, completely transfers all of them, but with NO further organization.  Again, I have spent years doing this, and don't want to have to re-invent the wheel. 
    Can someone advise (or even better, lead me to a youtube video) that accurately shows the best way to do this ?
    Thank you, in advance, for your help.
    p.s.  I particularly enjoy Dan Nations very informative articles on how to get the best from my products.  And, wish Apple would explain "how it works" regarding the syncing methods on the Operating System.  It is the only thing I "don't get" about using my iPad..... meanwhile I LOVE my new mini ! ! ! ! ! ! ! thanks Apple, for keeping things simple.... Please don't change that !

    Correct, it will only be one-level, the Photos app doesn't support sub-albums - the sub-folders photos will be included in the parent's album.
    If you select My Pictures at the top of the Photos tab when syncing, then you should get an album for each folder that is directly under it - so if I understand correctly what you described then that would mean an album for 2013, one for 2012 etc. And each of those should include all the photos in the subfolders under it - so 2013 would include the photos from the events and months subfolders under it.
    You can't sync them separately, only the contents of the last sync remains on the iPad, by not including a folder in the next photo sync you are effectively telling iTunes that you no longer want that folder/album on the iPad so it will be removed and be replaced by the contents of the new sync (you can't delete synced photos directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync).
    The app that I use, Photo Manager Pro, allows you to select and copy a folder (via FTP), but you would need to select each subfolder individually, which if you have a lot would be time-consuming (I think that if you select '2013' it would ignore the folders beneath it).

    How do I create new photo albums in iphone? why isn't it organized like in the iPad?

    You can't create new albums on the iPad either. The user interface looks different, but the functionality is essentially the same.
    The route is to create new albums on the desktop, and then sync via iTunes.
