Panning Images in Edit Mode?

I've used iPhoto 4 & 5, and noticed that this useful function in the former was missing in the latter. In version 4, by holding the Cmd/ key, I could use the crosshair to pan across and up and down an enlarged image, which was very useful when editing images at full resolution.
I tried to do the same thing in version 5 and instead called up the adjustment panel. Had no luck with any other key combination, so I guess it has been made obsolete.
Even with the capability of editing in full-screen mode for iPhoto 6, not everyone has a gigantic screen that allows viewing of images at full resolution.
So my question to those using the latest version is, when you choose to view an image in edit mode, and enlarge it, can you pan around in it? Move up and down and across and around to another section of the image without using the irritating scroll bars or having to zoom out?
I also find it counter-intuitive that there is no way to view an image at full resolution easily in iPhoto. They should add a button to do that, next to the enlargement slider.
Hopefully someone can answer my queries soon. Thanks!

Hi Zaihan,
Take a look at this page and you will see you can do full-screen edits (not the same as a button for full resolution though)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/6.0/en/hlp253.html
If you move the slider to the right to enlarge the photo, you will get a little navigation window that you can move the photo around in. It's very handy.

Images in edit mode not appearing

Need help with images not appearing in editing window of iphoto 6.
I have some JPEG images that will not appear in the large edit view window. All that shows is a gray background, dotted lines marking the square outline of an object, and a small exclamation point in the middle. Other photos appear with no problem.
All photos have the JPEG file extension; some appear and some do not.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Inserting Images and Logos - works in the edit mode, but does not save nor show in final PDF format - help?

I have tried several times - but when I load a logo or image in to a form template - it shows up on the template in edit mode but when I save it for PDF final format and use - the image or logo disappears. What I am doing wrong?

Is this a form that you're creating in FormsCentral?

In Edit mode the image gets distorted as if a graphics card error...

When I enter edit mode, many times the image gets distorted and is unrecognizable. The image is covered in red or green lines like when a driver or graphic card is having problems. I can view the image if I use the shift key or exit edit mode.
Have the latest version of both OS and iPhoto. Am considering a complete reinstall of the OS and Software but would like to avoid if possible.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Well you can avoid the hassle of re-installing because it won't help. This is a bug that affects some users of 10.6 and iPhoto, Aperture and/or Preview. Currently there is no solution.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
and let them know that you too have the issue.

Have .png images in indexed mode - how to edit?

Hello - I have some images in indexed mode and my Photoshop CS 4 won't let me edit them - how can I get them out of indexed mode?
here's a screenshot of my work area:

You can also look at my profile and see how many people have awarded me points for useful responses.
I'm sorry if you are unable to interpret my responses as anything but helpful. I'm not attacking you. I am pointing out the problem with CMYK conversion. Does the fact that fewer functions are available in CMYK mode tell you that CMYK is not the ideal mode for editing images? With color profilng and CMYK preview, there are few situations where one really must dumb down an image to CMYK mode.

Image needs to be enable only user select the edit mode

Hi Expert,
I have added one Image using value node and in get method I have given my image name, I also regenerated set, I and P method. I also moved the image in the configuration part.
Now the Image is visble in the webui in editable mode. But the requirement while opening any service order the image should be visble under the gernal data in disable mode. While user selecting the edit button then only the image should be visible in the web ui.
I tried to make this image in I Method, but I method is not triggered while debugging. So kindly let me know how to overcome this issue. Expecting your response ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Kannan.

Hello,
Did you try to use different image sources depending on the document process mode ?
Exemple:
1) If the document is in edit mode, then image source = 'your_image.jpg'
2) If the document is in display mode, then image source = cl_thtmlb_util=>get_icon_url( iv_icon_name = '1x1.gif' )

Can't open photos in edit mode

I can;t open photos in edit mode in iPhoto '08. When I double click on a photo the main window remains blank (no "!" no"?"). This problem occurs with every photo in the library. My permissions are OK. I've also tried setting the preferences to edit in Photoshop but double clicking on the photos then still accomplishes nothing.

Steve:
Do you get a blank white window in the edit mode? If so that may mean you do not have access to the files. Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
FYI:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

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 written 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. 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.

Deleting photos in edit mode

I've no issues with iPhoto 08 other than when deleting photos
I always delete in edit mode (Apple-Backspace) and with all previous versions it would simply move to the next picture after deletion
With 08, as soon as I delete a photo, it moves right back to the first picture in the event or library
I've searched threads & the web but can't find any mention of this - am I missing something obvious?
Thanks

I tried rebuilding just some minutes a go.
I am now revising my previous statement. When deleting photos in newly (in this session) created albums, album list is not updated until I select another album and then back again. However, image count of the album is updated.
Information pane is never updated, unless closed and opened.
And while writing this, iPhoto came to a dead stop in the background.

Deleting Pictures in Edit Mode

When I am in Full Screen Edit Mode I don't seem to be able to delete an open picture simply by pressing the DEL button. The combination Command-Option-Delete works but not the Delete alone. A friend of mine can delete an open picture with just DEL button. Am I the only one with that problem? Are there settings to activate deleting picture in Full Screen Edit Mode with just DEL button? (I think the first time I run the program after installation the DEL button alone worked but I am not 100% sure)

What to do with "multiple" images after editing

The general workflow I like to follow is
1- Take pictures
2- Copy pictures to computer
3- Add GPS information (optional)
4- Import photos to iPhoto
5- Flag photos that are worth editing/keeping
6- Edit photos in Flagged folder using PSE
7- Select the best photos to make an album
8- From the album make a book, slideshow, etc
What I'm confused about all the "thumbnails/images". I started with 750 photos and now have 1500. Many of the images look very similar since I may have just leveld the horizon.
Is there a quick way to select the images that have been edited?
Can I delete any of the originally edited photos without losing the edited file?
If I can't delete photos, is there a quick way to hide photos?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
-Alan

Are you using Photoshop from within iPhoto as the editor of choice? If so this might be of help or may be preaching to the choir:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (click on the Edit button) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.
With iPhoto 9.3 the external editor no longer creates a duplicate of the photo being edited if used from inside iPhoto. What version of iPhoto are you using and what system?

Deleted Items Stay in Edit mode?

When Adding Items to a portal, for instance an Image... and then I want to delete that image... I can delete it so the image no longer shows on the finished page, but the Item still shows in the Edit mode. How do I delete the Item so it no longer shows in Item mode

Assuming that you are using 10g: 
Yes, you can disable this feature. Click on Properties of the Page Group that you want to disable this feature. Go to the third tab Items. 
On this tab you will see 2 options : 
Retain Deleted Items 
Display Unpublished, Expired, and Deleted Items In Edit Mode 
Either enable or disable based on your preferences.

Problem with window repaint and scrollbars in edit mode (LabVIEW 8.0.1)

I am running LabVIEW 8.0.1 in Windows XP SP3. For my main VI, I ran into a strange problem about 5 months ago. The front panel window - in both edit mode and run mode - stopped repainting itself on the right side which is most visible when you scroll up and down, but also visible with overlapping windows. Coincident with the repaint problem, both scrollbars look disabled with greyed-out arrows and no boxes in the bars that you can click and drag to scroll the window. The scrollbars still partially work if you hover the mouse over them and roll the mouse wheel but clicking and dragging doesn't work.
The front panel has lots of controls and indicators including tab-control containers and is larger in the horizontal and vertical directions so both scrollbars should be active. But I deleted all elements on the front panel and everything in the block diagram and the problem persists. So the problem is not directly related to some control/indicator display.
I saved the simple VI with this problem (using a wide text line and a tall rounded box to test), then created a new VI and copied the two elements to the new VI. This new VI does not have the repaint and scrollbar problem. The two VIs differ slightly in memory usage and in revision number (the bad one is revision 1785 and the good one is revision 3), but otherwise the two VIs are identical. I attached both VIs to this posting. When you first open the bad VI, you'll see the disabled scrollbars whereas the good VI has active scrollbars. To replicate the repaint problem, scroll the window up and down with your mouse wheel. If it's fine when you first open the VI, click on another window, then click back on the VI window and try the mouse wheel again. This clicking-away-and-back always causes the repaint problem for me. I tried the VIs on two different computers both running Windows XP SP3 and LabVIEW 8.0.1 with identical results.
Here's what I discovered from troubleshooting with the simple VIs:
* scrollbars always disabled
* repaint problem in main window for window widths larger then 680 pixels
* repaint problem in main window menu toolbar for widths larger than 646 pixels
* entire window becomes disabled for window widths larger than 1348 pixels
* can repaint window by minimizing and restoring, but only repaints that one time
* scrollbar boxes sometimes flicker into view but then disappear
* scroll left and right by hovering mouse over horizontal scrollbar and using mouse wheel
I found something similar on this forum (thread: Problem with front panel refresh) - it might be related to the CAR about the panel being offset internally. I don't have access to LabVIEW 8.5 or later and don't plan to upgrade - I haven't tried the trial version as that user did. I could try to copy and paste my entire block diagram to a new VI but the VI is so large I'm afraid something would break, plus I don't want this to happen again in a few months. The problem seemed to occur after a certain number of saves (or revision number). I save backup copies often and when the problem first happened, I was able to go back to a previous version, make the missing changes and save it with no problems, but this only delayed the problem and it came up later. So maybe it's the revision number. It didn't seem related to a particular addition or modification in the front panel or diagram.
The image attached shows the repaint and scrollbar problems in the bad VI.
This brings up a question I have - if this problem is a bug and was fixed in 8.5 and later, is there a way to apply bug fixes to earlier versions? Or do I have to pay for an upgrade to fix such bugs?
Solved!

Bug in iPhoto 6? Blank images in edit and slideshows

Hi...
Have read a few threads on this topic, and it seems to be widespread. The usual helpful comments are made, but I really don't think that this has anything to do with something that the users are doing (e.g. copying libraries, moving libraries, etc..). Also, it seems to be happening to a number of people in exactly the same way, since iPhoto 6 was launched.
I have been using iPhoto since the beginning, have about 40,000 files in several libraries, and I have never seen anything like this.
The problem is that out of several hundred images in an individual library (uncopied, and not edited at the finder level or anywhere but iPhoto), a few of them are blank when you view them in edit mode or in a slideshow. This seems to be some sort of internal iPhoto corruption, and not related to the photos themselves (same camera and computer hardware that I have been using for years).
Also, the images themselves seem to be OK. When you export them from iPhoto to the desktop and open them in Preview or Photoshop, they are fine, and when you reimport them into iPhoto, they seem OK too.
Obviously, this is a big problem, and even though I can workaround for a single photo, I can't be doing this on an ongoing basis for all of my shots..
Anyone have any ideas? Is there a way to submit this question to Apple directly?
Thanks very much!!
Mike

I foolishly tried this on a separate Mac on a different library, that one with 22000 images that I had not edited (since the old iPhoto would just die a slow death on that sized library).
I actually only spent the money for iPhoto 6 (iLife's remainder package did not have any compelling use for me right now) and its ability to handle 25000 images.
Well, it is faster (i.e. it does not go to sleep for 12 minutes) if I click the scroll button but the blank images problem showed up there also. And ALL of those pictures were standard jpgs and not one was from a weird camera or ever modified or otherwise tweaked if that were an excuse for iPhoto 6 misbehaving with some pictures.
VERY annoying and very strange that they would not see this in Beta testing. Assuming they do test. So, folks, if you are planning to buy iLife for iPhoto, be forewarned. I will add this to my TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY blog entries at http://imran.com/media/blog/ so people are aware.

Not sure what you mean by that: is that URL in an image, or is it actual text?
If it is in an image, then you need to extract the image, edit it with something like Photoshop, then add it back to the PDF.
If the URL is actual text, I suggest that you remove the entire URL, then add the corrected link.
