Orphaned Web Galleries

I've been trying to use a web gallery to sync collections of desktop pictures between my macs. On one Mac, I assemble and publish the gallery. On the others, I subscribe. Nice, normal and simple, right?
Unfortunately, when I've tried to update my gallery, there have been a number of times when some kind of error was encountered. No error message is displayed, but the gallery suddenly ceases to exist in iPhoto. The old version is still up on .Mac, but the iPhoto version is just gone and I have to re-publish from scratch. Anyone have any idea how I can prevent these galleries from just popping like soap bubbles?
I've had similar problems on the subscription side. Sometimes the subscribed mac will update correctly, and sometimes it will just forget that there was a subscription.
Any ideas on how I get this to settle down?

Seems that protected galleries don't like to be updated. And I found that I could delete the orphans by going throught the preferences for iPhoto and deleting the web galleries from there.

  • Web Galleries in Bridge & CS4

    It appears the templates for Web Galleries in Bridge are different from those in Photoshop CS4.  This seems odd, comments welcome.
    Is there a way to Save a Custom Web Template in either Bridge or Photoshop?  If one creates a Custom Template (in Bridge) with Custom Colors, etc., that same Template will appear if you later create a new Web Gallery.  But once you change the Template you lose the custom colors.  Is there a way around this, i.e. save the custom colors?  Thanks.

    Hi. I am trying to use Bridge to make web galleries. There used to be something on PS for that but now I cant find it in PS so I was advised to use Bridge.  However, there is something called Output Module (AOM) that is missing from my Bridge.  I downloaded this.  The instructions say :Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder in the appropriate location: 
    Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC Extensions
    Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions.  However there is noplace on my Macbook Air running Yosemetie that has this /Library/Applications SUpport/Bridge CC Extensions. Can anyone advise?

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • Bridge Help | Create web galleries and PDFs with Adobe Output Module

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/create-web-galleries-pdfs-adobe.html

    Plug-ins that failed to load:
    It seems to me that something is wrong with your install. Maybe you did clone a former mac to install on this one? or copies old stuff to the new one. Don't know, it seems easy and quick but I prefer always a new install using a new computer or switching to a new system upgrade.
    Lightning effects shows to be 32 bit while I think to know that Photoshop CS5 and CS5.5 are both 64 bit, however Bridge was turned to 64 bit in the CS6 version but that should not mater for you to use both applications from the same install disk (or download?)
    And variations is something I tried to find in CS6 but can't find it there. I had long forgotten this feature that presented different previews and you could switch to color corrections and brightness (not sure) while looking at the result in the previews.
    So I think you have some old material residing on your system. I would advice you to back up all custom settings (actions, tools, workspaces etc. and keywords in Bridge) Then do a search for the Adobe Cleaner tool :
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html?promoid=GYTAU
    (don't know this links work for you but you can find it easy with google).
    Read the instructions carefully and follow this using the official uninstaller that came with PS (see application folder). Also be sure to have your serial number and AdobeID present and while an activation of PS is for the computer maybe for security first deactivate before uninstall.

  • Making Bridge web galleries searchable

    I'm sure this will have been asked before on the forum, but after scrolling thought the first four pages of topics I can't see it raised anywhere.
    Is there an easy way of adding a search engine that will interrogate a file's metadata when creating a web gallery in Bridge?
    The company I work for is looking to set up a gallery of 2,000 graphics to begin with, which will probably grow to 10,000 graphics before too long.
    Bridge is great because it converts Illustrator vector files to jpegs (the organisation is Microsoft Office-based, and most staff cannot read vector files). But obviously the resulting gallery has to be searchable. It seems odd that Adobe hasn't included this option as standard when creating web galleries.
    I'm a graphic designer by trade, and although I can do a little bit of coding I'm certainly no expert in that area. So I do need a simple solution.
    Thanks in advance for any and all advice offered and sorry if I'm bringing up an old chestnut again.

    It sounds like your html files are assigned to fireworks instead of safari. Open your file browser (windows explorer or mac equivelent) find an html file and look at it properties. In windows this is where you can change the app that is the default. I am not sure how on a MAC, but hopefully it will jog your memory or someone else will answer.

    Perhaps some of you have already seen this, but Apple recently put up a new video about .Mac Web Galleries on TV. Click on this image:

  • LR Web Galleries, need help

    I use LR's web galleries for my clients to view their proofs on line, I am on a Mac and my clients who are on a PC see white specs in the very black areas of the photos, I tested this out and it is only when viewed on a PC that this appears, not on Mac's. Are you familiar with this problem? Is there a way to fix this?

    Can you establish a sample gallery to show the problem and post a link to it here?

  • Web Galleries on Photo pages?

    I think I already know the answer is no, but... I much prefer the .Mac Web Gallery and it's options to the older photos page you create from iPhoto. I have converted a couple of albums to Web Galleries.
    My questions is regarding putting those on a Photos page. I only seem to be able to put a Web Gallery on a blank page. Dropping it onto one of the default album spaces that pop up on a Photos page (where you drag in from iPhoto), of course, does nothing. My main reason is that I would like to consolidate Web Galleries on an Albums page - I really like the look of the albums themselves and it's a nice gateway. I have been able to make a rectangle, change it to a picture frame, resize it and use that, but it's not the organization I prefer, and, again, I'd like to have the gateway in those nice albums. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm searching the forum for a solution to this too; web galleries look cheap next to the albums, and there's no reason for it. Short of changing all of my albums to galleries, here's my temporary solution, but it's a half-measure:
    1) Drop a square on top of your .Mac Web Gallery widget that's just a bit larger than the widget.
    2) Select the square, and in the Inspector, go to the Graphic Inspector, and under Stroke, select Picture Frame.
    3) Select the frame that matches your album's format, then resize the square until it's just about the size of the widget, or provides the desired border width around the widget.
    4) Move the square backward, behind the widget.
    5) If desired, add a dummy album name beneath the gallery for visual continuity.
    See my example here: http://www.vehphoto.com/sandrift/Photos/Photos.html
    This worked for me because I'm using a white background and white frames; your mileage may vary depending on what theme and picture frames you're using. (I can't recall if I enabled additional frames in the Inspector as described in the Keynote forums - if a matching frame appears to be missing in the Inspector, let me know and I'll double-check this.)
    Still, it's a sub-optimal solution, because 1) the widget cannot be resized 2) the widget still contains the gallery name, and 3) widgets cannot be rearranged the way albums can - they probably have to be segregated from albums.
    I'll be posting feedback on this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

  • CS4 Bridge and Web Galleries

    This is probably nit-picking, but I liked a web gallery which I have been using on a site which has about 13 galleries on it. The choices for web galleries in CS4 are OK, but when I checked the file size on a web gallery in CS4 with an identical one I did with CS3, the size was about 5 times as large.
    Since I have upgraded to CS4, the old CS3 Bridge isn't available (to my knowledge) and I had to move all the photos from Bridge in CS4 to a folder so I could access the web gallery from CS3.
    Tell me if there is an easier way to use the old web gallery directly from CS4 or a way to access the old Bridge from CS3?

    Hi all<br />It is still possible to create webgalleries and contactsheets in CS4, but you have to copy some files and folders from a folder called Goodies which you can find on you install disk or download as extras from Adobe.com. <br />In the "...Goodies\Optional plug-ins" folder there is a OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf where they among other things write:<br /><br />"1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug-<br />Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/<br />Automate folder<br /><br />2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo<br />Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop."

  • Is it possible to transfer custom web galleries from CS3 to CS5?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer my custom web galleries from PS CS3 to Adobe Bridge CS5?

    Collections are not a physical directory.  It is kind of like a spreadsheet that tells Bridge where to find the pictures and display them, so you can't just move the folder.
    Smart collections are a little easier to transfer, but do not think CS3 had those.
    Not an expert here but believe you would first have to have the same computer  and HD so that all the picture loacations are the same.
    Then go to User/App Data/Roaming/Adobe/Bridge/Collections and copy file from CS3 and insert into same spot for CS5.
    Maybe someone that have done this will jump in and prove me wrong.

  • How can I use bridge to create web galleries with more than 10 images?

    I am new to building web galleris for my website. When i try to load more than 10 images in a gallery , Bridge cuts off all images beyond 10. I am confident that I can do this if i can find the right settings

    I am not at my PS computer right now, but I think the Preview only shows 10 images (for speed) but they will all be there in the final output.

  • Making large html web galleries (400-1400 images)

    Please post a link to methods on how to do this if I have missed an earlier answer.
    I have been building large html web galleries to provide to clients on disks along with the original images. When I do this for galleries of around 400 to 1400 images and up, the web gallery is made but there can be images that are missed and listed as 'not in the library' even though they are present and intact.
    I have found a clumsy workaround. After choosing the group of images in the library and selecting the web template in the web module, I open each thumbnail index page and let the thumbnails load and then move to the next index page and let it load, etc. After finishing all the index pages I export the web page. Often I still get error messages but in fact all the images are loaded into the web page and it can be opened with a browser with no problems or missing images.
    This is a time consuming method to accomplish something that should be easily automated and automatic. It seems that LR gets ahead of itself in making a page before it has actually loaded the image file...therefore an image is missed.
    Has anyone found a better way to do this for large groups of images or do we have to wait for an update to correct this glitch.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try setting off the gallery export overnight and really leaving it time to finish. I suspect the progress bar isn't totally accurate and things happen before and after it has apparently completed. See if this works.

  • Web galleries: how to get back to Homepage quickly?

    I have several Aperture web galleries on my .Mac homepage. I like the look but the huge downside is that when someone gets to the last page, e.g. number 15, to get back to my homepage they have to either go back in their browser 15 times or re-enter my homepage address. Is there a way for them to get back to my homepage (which is my site menu) in one click?
    I am also thinking of making my own website with iWeb. Would I have the same problem with it?

    i personally have edited my templates to include a couple of "returns" from the large images ... also if you click the "tidy photography" image it will (in most cases) send you back to the previous menu (on the older pages it goes to my homepage - still havent fixed this)

  • Web Galleries from before MobileMe missing from iPhoto

    All of my web galleries from before the MobileMe upgrade are missing from the iPhoto left panel. They all show up online at gallery.mac.com and gallery.me.com and in iPhoto under Preferences>Web Gallery>"Albums you published as. The one gallery created after the MobileMe upgrade does show up in iPhoto left panel. Can I re-sync the galleries? or is this a bug?

    All of my galleries that existed before the changeover are still in my library. Must be something other than just a changeover issue. Look in the iPhoto/Web Gallery preferences to see if they are still listed there.
    Do you still have the albums you used to create the galleries? You might have to recreate and republish them with the same gallery name.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library or of the library's database file, Library6.iPhoto?
    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.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
