Photo Gallery: Looking For Suggestions

Hi, all.
I've been using JustSo PhotoAlbum quite happily for a few
years and it
continues to serve my needs well.
One client, however, is requesting a gallery solution that
would use
JSPA-style popups, but with 'forward'- and 'back'-style
navigational
controls incorporated within the popup window.
Has anyone encountered a commercial utility that can do this?
Maybe a
combination of tools? I'm not a programmer and I don't want
to get my
hands too dirty on this one.
Looking forward to your hearing your ideas.

Lightbox might be suitable for your client:

If you want a more automated solution, with a different "look
and feel", you
might consider Slide Show Magic:

I recently got an iphone5. Ever since I have downloaded my iphone pictures to my photo gallery on my PC, my computer crashes when i'm in photo gallery. Any suggestions? I also downloaded itunes as well as icloud when I got my iphone5.

No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.

I have a very similar problem (5506) in that I changed my appleID loginid and now none of my home shares work. All itunes have been re-authorized/authenticated with the new appleID string. Yet I still receive this error. I too am looking for suggestions.

If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

Creating a photo gallery / portfolio for a client to manage (CMS & Business Catalyst)

I have been asked to create a website for a client, the client is a photographer and wants a site to promote her nursery school photography business. She would like to be able to manage the site herself using the BC dashboard, uploading images as and when needed. I use Muse to create sites and have informed the client that for any kind of CMS they need to host with Business Catalyst.
My issue is creating a relatively limitless photo gallery / portfolio. As I understand it a client can upload and change images on their site using the BC dashboard, providing there is a slot available to do so. I believe Business Catalyst has a photo gallery module on their Webmarketing package, would this be what I am looking for? Failing that are there any good workarounds available for my client using Muse alone?
In the future the client is looking for secure zones within the site and also an online ordering system, but right now it's a fairly simple promotional site with a good gallery of pics.
I posted a similar question last week, someone very kindly suggested Smugmug, I looked into a separate solution (including Smugmug) but it's not suitable in this case and I would rather stick to Muse, BC and Adobe.

Hi
Yes, you can use Photo Gallery module, where your client would be able to upload new images from site backend and update the module. Also with photo gallery there are other parameters which they can use for image display.

For future preferences , your client can setup secure zones, online shop etc from site admin.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Looking for suggestions for a new computer

Hello!
I am curently an undergrad student with a 4(ish) year old Toshiba Satellite A505. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU Processor (P7350 @2.00 GHz), 4GB RAM, and a 64-bit opperating system. I bought it with Windows Vista on it and still use it. No changes have been made to the opperating system or other specs on the computer. It runs fine but is getting a little slow and I know that it is getting behind on opperating system capablilities and harddrive capabilities.
I am planning on going on to Grad school within the next 2 years. I know that is a long time to be looking for a computer now, but I need to start saving and thought that I could find at leas ta ball park of what I will be spending and what to look for when I finally get around to buying a new computer. I will be studying archaeology and will be using programs like AutoCAD as well as running my own reasearch, which will include a lot of image editing, storage, and use. I will also probably be using a lot of data and database programs as well as writing many, many very long research papers and doing many presentations. Not to mention everyday student use for note taking and studying. I also like playing The Sims (FYI). I want something that can be used for perosnal use as well as a research tool so I would like to have something that can hold up to frequent "light" use and frequent "heavy" use. I love my Toshiba. It has been a wonderful computer and wouldn't mind staying with that company. However, I'm not afraid of going to a different company as long as it isn't Apple. I wouldn't mind using a Mac, but with all the research I plan on doing I would like to have a computer that is as compatable with the University system as possible.
In summation, I'll need something with a lot of power, a lot of space, and the ability to run both light and heavy programs like AutoCAD and photo/data editing and storage software as well as being suited for normal student and personal use. No Macs.
Thank you!

Both computers I would like to suggest are both out of stock at the moment due to the holidays. However, both of these would be excellent choices considering we are talking about heavy cpu usage.
I believe both of these are possible heavy hitters for you.
I personally own this machine so can claim that this machine should meet your every need without a hiccup.

Looking for suggestions on alternate printing services

I ordered my first two iPhoto books from Apple last month. Processing was quick and the physical quality was as advertised, however the photo print quality was lower than I had expected and I think the price is a little high overall.
I'm wondering what printers others have used successfully from iPhoto. I'd prefer to have it printed locally so I can work with the printer face-to-face, but online ordering is no problem (and more of what I'm expecting to get here). Since I can make a PDF of the completed book it should just be a matter of finding a print shop that'll make a book from PDF. Any suggestions, good or bad? Thanks.

rdfisher:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you're looking for large sized prints I just got back a 20"x30" collage from Large Format Posters that I put together with Photoshop and OmniGraffle and it was outstanding in color and sharpness. They required the file to be converted to CMYK which told me they were using high end printers. I did the conversion on composite file and uploaded it to their site (77MB). I am extremely happy with it. They print from 11x 17 on up. That's the only experience with online printing I've had.
Do you Twango?
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Generate Photo Gallery XML for Spry with Adobe Bridge

Wanted to post a note to what I've discovered/worked out -- a
way to
generate a very useful photos.xml from Adobe Bridge. If you
use Bridge,
it's very easy to add titles, keywords, ratings -- all kinds
of metadata
that one might use in a photo gallery. Here it is in case
anyone wants
to use.
The script is based on one I found at the Adobe User to User
Bridge
Scripting Forum for exporting a CSV file.
Note 1: this particular script doesn't take into account
CDATA that
might exist in your metadata, like ampersands in your title.
I've just
avoided using those, but you could also have the script write
out a
CDATA node for that info instead.
Note 2: this script does not write out a thumbpath,
thumbwidth or
thumbheight attribute. But usually the thumbpath is the exact
same as
the regular "path" attribute, and the thumbwidth and
thumbheight are
just a ratio of the regular "width" and "height" attributes.
I added a
bit of JS to the gallery.js file to calculate those before
growing the
thumbnail on rollover.
Personally I'm using keywords as categories and titles as
captions and
sorting by rating (stars in Bridge), so here's the .jsx file
I created.
The script should be saved to the folder "StartupScripts" in
Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe.
Hope this is useful for others too!
#target bridge
if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
// create menu
var menu = MenuElement.create( "command", "Export XML File",
"at the end
of Tools");
menu.onSelect = function(m) {
try {
// ask for the name of the output file
var f = File.saveDialog("Export XML file to:", "XML
File:*.XML");
if ( !f ) { return; }
// open filestream and write first line
f.open("w");
f.writeln("\<photos\>\r\r");
// get a list of all the visible thumbnails in Bridge
var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails;
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) { var item = items
f.writeln("\<photo path = \"" + item.name + "\"" + "\r" +
"width = " +
"\""+ getWidth(item) + "\"" + "\r" + "height = " + "\""+
getHeight(item)
+ "\"" + "\r" + "rating = " + "\""+ getRating(item) + "\"" +
"\r" +
"categories = " + "\""+ listKeywords(item) + "\"" + "\r" +
"caption = "
+ "\""+ getTitle(item) + "\"" + " \>" + "\r" +
"\<\/photo\>\r\r" ); }
f.writeln("\<\/photos\>");
f.close();
} catch(e) {
function getTitle(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
var varTitle = md.title;
return varTitle;
function getWidth(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/"
var varWidth = md.ImageWidth;
return varWidth;
function getHeight(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/"
var varHeight = md.ImageLength;
return varHeight;
function getRating(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/"
var varRating = md.Rating;
return varRating;
function listKeywords(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
var Keywords = md.Keywords;
var varKeywords = "" ;
for ( var i = 0; i < Keywords.length; ++i ) { varKeywords
= varKeywords
+ Keywords + ","; }
return varKeywords;

I updated the script so it exports an XML file from Bridge
with full
compatibility with the Spry Demo Photo Gallery, to use as
photos.xml.
It's at the same address:
http://www.imagicdigital.com/spry/bridge_export_xml.zip
To Use:
The script goes in the folder "StartupScripts" in Program
Files/Common
Files/Adobe.
Launch Bridge and browse to a folder that contains the files
you want in
your gallery -- the "source" folder, as it were.
Choose the menu command "Tools > Export XML for Spry
Gallery".
Type a name for your XML file in the Save dialog box, choose
a location,
and hit "Save".
In the dialog box that pops up, enter a max length/width for
your
thumbnails, in pixels. Some common sizes are "75" , "100" or
"125".
Hit "OK". You should see an alert pop up telling you "XML
file
successfully created!"

Looking for suggestions for a new display: What size, resolution and refresh is recommended?

I've been using my laptop display, 15.6" and its just too small. I figured I'd purchase a display to plug into the laptop. I'd like suggestion on specs. I figured a 20 to 23 inch would work ok but I've seen some folks with dual screens. Lastly, I have no understanding of resoution, refresh rates to look for or brands to either look at or stay away from.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

The good news is that you don't need to worry too much about the specs -- just about any monitor you purchase will be OK. First choose a size that fits in you work area, then pick the monitor from that range of products that has the highest resolution and refresh rates -- the monitors will all have very similar specs.
I've been using PCConnection
http://www.pcconnection.com/
as my primary source for computer purchases for over 12 years and highly recommend it. They have user's comments for most of their products, so you can get a feel for the satisfaction level of the products.
I've never understood the value of having dual monitors, unless one needs to have a couple of real-time monitoring apps open at the same time for instant feedback about the data....

Photo Gallery Software for Mac OS X Server

I'm porting my Linux server infrastructure over to Mac OS X Server. I've successfully moved over my DNS, Mail and most of my web sites to Mac without a problem. However, the last website is causing me a bit of pain. In Linux I was using Gallery 2 (http://gallery.menalto.com/), but I'm not sure how to get this to work on Mac OS X. In particular there are a bunch of dependencies that I'm not sure exist in Mac (ffmpeg, etc.)
* Is there an alternative photo gallery software that people use which may install/work better on the Mac? We have wiki and blog services in the Web Server Admin pane, but I don't see a photo gallery service.
* Has anybody had success in using gallery2 over to the Mac? What dependencies were needed and how did you find them?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi
For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

Looking for Suggestions on granting all users access to an application *except a subset of users*

This might not be the right forum for this question, but since it is related to an App-V application I figured I would try since this may have come up for some of you. I am looking for the best way to grant all Domain Users access to an application
except for Domain Admins. Using the Full App-V infrastructure, I want to grant access to the App-V UI via User Targeting, but I don't want to allow Domain Admins access. The reason for this is because when we make updates to provisioned
server cores (stateless), we login with our Admin accounts to make modifications to the cores, and I would like to reduce the steps that need to be taken at the end to ensure that all AppV applications are removed before sealing up the core.
Currently, Domain Admins do not have access to any App-V applications, so this process is fairly clean. All applications are User Targeted.
Packages are cached on a persistent D drive on each server, so the issue is that the registry, programdata, and packageinstallationroot become out of sync if packages are pulled down during core modifications after the core is attached to other servers (hence
other D drives). Because of this, Machine Targeting is not an option for this either.

This would be so much easier with a "Configuration Manager" like feature where you could create a collection query to accomplish the same thing. Are there other tools out there that will do the same thing?

Best photo gallery style for DW

I'm building my own website to show off my artwork and need help constructing a simple set of galleries.
What I need is a gallery that I can easily add images to or remove images from in DW without having to rebuild the whole page(s)
So far I have a home page with links to an Illustration, Fine Art and Photography pages which each have links to respective galleries (some having separate links to general and mature content). I have built these galleries with the "create web photo album" command in DW using Fireworks and then applying a template (of my own making) to these pages. The result has been very good.
However, what I'd like to know is once these galleries have been constructed are they set in stone? Meaning, let's say I build a photo album, apply the template, make other style changes in DW and then I realize I forgot one or two other images. Is the Fireworks created photo album flexible enough to be able to add more photos as I go, even, say weeks later? Do I have to start all over (delete the files in DW etc) with a whole new photo album?
Thanks,
R Mohr

...I find I'm trying to fit a gallery format into what I designed. Should I, instead, pick a gallery format/look that works for me then design my website around that?
This is quite a broad question in my view. I don't know JAlbum at all but it looks contemporary and user friendly with the capablity to widgetise it. I wouldn't like it so much because I would find it difficult to fully customise it probably, because of the limits of my own knowledge. However, if you are good at all that stuff then have a go but I get the impression you would start with JAlbum and then work your site around that.
I think that your original question was about how to add images to a gallery that was built by another application and you would need to look at JAlbum to see how that is managed. I remember a few years ago that I would build a Photoshop web album and if I needed to add a couple of images I would rebuild the whole album.
I know a little more HTML/CSS these days so wouldn't find it daunting to make changes but I also know enought to implement any of the Lightbox clones. I think Lightbox has alwaus suited me. I reckon it's sylish without being gimicky and despite the fact that it is all over the web, it still has a good reputation. The good thing about it is that if you build your own gallery, prepare your own thumbs and viewing images, add the script and get it running yourself, you know exactly where everything is. That way, adding or removing images here and there isn't a problem.
I guess the other thing is that if you are adding whole new galleries quite often and working with heaps of photographs, then an automated option might be preferable.

Looking for suggestions to set up calendar and contacts

Hi
Ive had my iPhone for a couple months now and cannot seem to get the synching of my contacts and calendar right. When Im done, my calendar has duplicates and I wonder if I've erased something somewhere. Is there a way to create a brand new calendar dedicated to the iPhone that all information created on the iPhone is transfered to that calendar on my Macbook Pro rather than information from my Macbook Pro transferring or changing data on my iPhone? I want to retain what I have so just incase I can look back and see if anything is missing, but I wouldlike to have a dedicated calendar for the iPhone. Im still learning about calendar and set up so tips and suggestions welcome.
I am a dog trainer so I schedule my specific appointments on my iPhone and also have all day events that I schedule as "all day". Sometimes after a sync, I'll have duplicate appointments for some reason and have to go back and delete them; but I wonder if things have been erased.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Thx for the reply. However, my iPhone is actually where I enter my newer entries. With that in mind, what would I do differently from what you suggested below?
Also, I have to organize my desktop calendar differently and not sure how yet. I have clients I work with daily, some 3 days a week others 2 days a week and so on. I wanted to break things down in colors so I created a separate calendar based on days of week I work with clients but not sure if that works when syncing.
Also, when I play around with calendar, its a bit wacky. Meaning, its not working right. But besides that factor, I tried using the tutorial but it obviously doesn't offer suggestions in organizing. Its the syncing factor that really makes it difficult.
If you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
Thank you,
Brigitte

Looking for suggestions to sync external drives over internet

I have a iMac connected to an external hard drive at my house. I would like to sync this external drive to a another external drive connected to a Mac Mini at my parents house. I would like this sync to happen automatically at night and also be free.
Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I checked out the rsync stuff but I think its a little over my head. If I had the time or patience I could create a customized solution like that but it seems more trouble than its worth. I am looking more for an application that does the work for you like Crash Plan.
I tested out CrashPlan last night. I installed it on both machines and it was able to backup the files I need very quickly. It supports the ability to set times for the backup which is a big bonus.
The only problem I run into is that it does not make a 1:1 copy of the data. It backs it up to the destination drive in some weird file format that you can not just access the data. If I experienced a failure I would have to use their restore utility to recover the files.
What I would like is that if the drive at my house fails I can run over to my parents, grab that drive, plug it in and be working exactly as before. Crash Plan is so close to being what I want but I just do not want to have to take the time, and trust that their utility will restore the data when I need.
