Photo page captions

If I change the filename for photos on a photo page to something a little more descriptive than "P000234585.JPG" do I need to keep the file extension for them to work properly?

No. iWeb is just borrowing from the file name to use as the title. Changing it does not change the image file name.

  • Caption fonts on photo pages

    An easy (hopefully) question.
    I'm trying to change the template on some of my photo pages. I create a new page, then copy and paste the photos from my old page to the new page.
    However, the captions use the fonts from the old template, and I can't figure out how to change them. Help!
    -Arnold

    Aburian,
    When you paste the photos from your old template onto your new one, did you just click paste, or paste using same layout (or something of that nature). There are two options when pasting anything, you can just paste, or paste using that templates design.

  • Auto Delete Caption in photo page

    Hi,
    When importing from iPhoto Photo Album, the application will display both the photos and captions. Is there a way that I can make all the captions disapper?
    Thank you,
    Mac User

    Select the photo grid or an image in it, then drag the Caption Height slider all the way to the left in iWeb's Graphic inspector.

  • I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder

    Add new photo to existing calendar folder in iPhoto
    I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • Drag and Drop to photo page creates links, doesn't replace placeholders

    I searched the discussions for quite a while and didn't find much similar to this topic. Basically, drag and drop is no longer working on my iWeb and my photo grids will not accept pictures to replace the placeholder (sample) photos. I will try to explain the whole problem in detail.
    I am a new iWeb user, and I set up a page without any problems at first. Yet when I returned in iWeb to add another photo page today, I have had a lot of trouble. I used the template Photo Page and opened the Inspector and the Media Viewer to drag photos onto the placeholder photos, as the Help pages and tutorials show. Yet when I drag the picture file from the Media Viewer into the photo grid, only a small text box appears that sets up a hyperlink to the photo file on my computer. I've tried messing with the inspector, seeing what the difference is between the placeholder photos' settings and the files I'm trying to add.
    The only differences I can see are: in the Link Inspector's pane I can tell the program is at first making a hyperlink to the file instead of displaying the photo (yet disabling the hyperlink doesn't change anything); also,
    In the Graphic Inspector pane that appears when I have selected a general area in the photo grid, at the top the "Style" , "Layout" and "Caption" options appear, along with a display of a sample photo style. When I click on one of the rectangles that appears with the file I am trying to drag and drop, I have only the "fill" option, which has "none" selected. Fiddling with the options does not get the photo to appear.
    I can see the blue grid surrounding the placeholder photos, so the photo grid exists. I have also tried using different templates' photo pages, but they all have the same problem. I also tried creating an album in iPhoto and importing it to iWeb, but only two photos appeared out of 12.
    So the main part of my problem is not that photos don't appear at all (if I try and insert them they appear on their own, completely independant of the template's style and the photo grid)., it is that they do not work with the photo grid and that drag-and-drop no longer works.
    Any information that could help is greatly appreciated.

    Susan,
    Try out the following things. These suggestions are
    sort of the starting point for non-specific strange
    behavior in iWeb.
    1. Delete iWeb preference file at:
    YourHardDrive/Users/yourname/Users/Library/Preferences
    /"com.apple.iWeb.plist"
    2. Delete iLife Media Browser preference file at:
    YourHardDrive/Library/Preferences/"com.apple.iLifeMedi
    aBrowser.plist"
    3. Repair startup disk permissions using Disk
    Utility
    4. Reboot machine
    5. Delete iWeb application (but keep a backup of the
    Domain file!) and reinstall iWeb 1.0 from original
    iLife'06 DVD or Recovery Disks and then update
    directly to 1.1.1 via Software Update.
    These are the top 5 things that seem to garner some
    kind of positive results from people having similar
    problems.
    I am having the same problem Susan described. I've tried #1 and #2 from the above recommendations and still have the same problem of photos not opening in the photo page after dragging them from iphoto. I, too, published a site (not on .Mac, but I don't know if that matters) and now want to add a photo page. Also, the template shows six placeholders, but when I select the photo page only three appear.
    Hope you can help. Thank you.

  • Printing a pdf with photos and captions

  • Photo pages not appearing in IE browsers

    Hi,
    Now that I've worked out image quality issues in iweb 08, currently testing my published site (temporarily in protected directory test mode). Through Safari Develop Tool I've checked various browsers and all browsers display my site correctly except IE browsers. In all IE browsers I'm noticing the photo pages are not displaying my image thumbnails except captions. Hovering and clicking the mouse over where the image should be visible brings up the slideshow and images do appear. The photo album pages are less then 12 pictures per album; images have been optimized. So this is not the problem regarding the thumbnail pages. So what could it be? Javascript issues?
    Frustrated because this one issue is preventing me from displaying my site live! Of course, I could just forget about PC users but I have products I want to sell and don't want to lose potential customers. One peculiar glitch on a website scares people away.
    Been searching all over the internet for answers but growing more confused. Although new to safari's develop tool and unfamiliarity with javascript fixes, curious if clicking on debugging javascript would be a remedy. If so, what would I need to do to fix the disappearing images? Or, should I just accept that iweb 08 and IE are incompatible and inform my visitors to use non-IE browsers such as Safari and FireFox? Such a letdown!
    Help most appreciative!
    Cheers, June

    I figured it out!!!
    Somewhere along the way, the following permission class got added to the pagedef's of two of the pages but not the others
    <permission permissionClass="oracle.webcenter.security.auth.HierarchicalResourcePermission"
                  target="serviceID=oracle.webcenter.page,scopeID=s8bba98ff_4cbb_40b8_beee_296c916a23ed,resourceID=/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/*<page name>*.jspx"
                  xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/security">
        <privilege-map operation="create" privilege="create"/>
        <privilege-map operation="delete" privilege="delete"/>
        <privilege-map operation="edit" privilege="update"/>
        <privilege-map operation="personalize" privilege="personalize"/>
        <privilege-map operation="view" privilege="view"/>
      </permission>once i added the permission class to the other pages they showed up in the navigation model.

  • Photos covering captions and not lined up

    I am adding photos to a photo page in iWeb and they line up fine with captions However when I publish them they are not lined up (some are higher than others and some to the side). Some of the captions show but others are covered up by the photos. Appreciate any help. I am trying to complete a website for a family reunion. Thanks
    iMac G5, G4 Powerbook    

    Fred,
    The misalignment often happens to me. I associate it with two things, only one of which is in my control. First, as I create a page in iWeb I start out doing one thing, then get off on tangents and mix up (don't complete) what I started out doing. This has been an issue with text and "show caption" as I jump from one thing to another; Inspector and Font formats. My solution is to do one thing at a time completely, say rename the photos, then adjust the show caption size, then replace the background, rather than jump from one to another changing my mind as I go.
    The second issue is how the page is drawn on my computer screen after it's been published to iMac. I've had misalignments of every component at one time or another (sometimes all at once). Photos are misaligned, text boxes expanded, titles repositioned, backgrounds off center, etc. None of this is in my control. I can reload the page (after clearing my cache so I'm not reloading from my computer) and the page turns out fine. Sometimes it has other issues.
    So my advice is, design & re-design your pages as many times as you wish, but when you have it the way you want it, redo the page from scratch, one component at a time, save and upload this version.
    I looked at the alignment of photos on Tux's link. I think this goes to issue two, how the page loads, not how it was created. An unintended consequence of its current look (with some photos sliding down over their captions) is that it appears the entire page was originally a photograph of Polaroid’s itself, and a slight breeze moved several snapshots just before the picture was taken. I found this pleasing, although I know it's not what was intended.
    Below is a link to the first page of some photos I've taken. These photos do not line up. I've tried correcting it (although I never found a "mistake") and re-loaded them to iMac. My next step is to follow my own advice and recreate the page from scratch, then see if it is misaligned.
    Good luck to us all. - Fabe

  • Photos page and anchors

    Hi, everybody--
    Let me start by saying that I have searched these forums for information on anchors. I have seen the solutions put forth by Old Toad, Wyodor, & Cyclosaurus, plus I have Cedric's iWebFAQ.org eBook & have read the chapter on anchors.
    My problem is with the Photos page & how it generates anchors. The first photo is #0, the next is #1, and so on. There's also a #grid anchor.
    I have added a lot of text above my Photo grid. (This is because if you put text below the grid, then click one of the photos to see it bigger, the grid does not push the text boxes down on the page and so the photo displays on top of the text. Not good.)
    When I click on any of the photos, let's say the 3rd photo for example, the address bar changes to <MyURL>/PageName.html#2. That's good; that's what's supposed to happen.
    The problem is that the page reloads up at the top, and the user must scroll down to see the photo. (This is true no matter which photo is selected.) Once the user scrolls back down to the photo, they can click on other photos and the page stays there; it's only the first time they click that this happens.
    In trying to solve this problem, I have tried all of the solutions listed above. None of them seem to work for the Photo anchors. At first I thought it was because the navbar is #0 and that was forcing the page to go to the top, but that can't be it because it doesn't matter whether you choose the first photo (#0) or the last (#65, in my case); the page always goes to the top.
    Can anybody shed any light onto what is actually happening & how it might be fixed?
    Many thanks.

    photos page functionalities controlled by a hosts of ajax/javascript widgets.
    the first ajax widget populates photo grid with thumbnails, data are from photos page rss.xml .
    three other widgets set up the thumbnail strip, the detail view (slideshow place holder) and caption, prev, next controls.
    everything described above is on the same page.
    photos page anchors are not ordinary anchors, they are used to turn on/off different elements (on the same page).
    when you click on the 3rd photo, one piece of javascript turns off the the photo grid and another turn on the 3rd photo in detail view... in the process, the page view is reset to the top.
    so, by know how to get to detail view in DOM; you can scroll to that section using Scriptaculous Effect.ScrollTo method: http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/Test/Photos.html
    you are on your own, because I no longer post code in these forums.

  • Print multiple photos with captions

    I cannot find a way to print 4-6 photos with captions. Instructions say to click on More Options on bottom of dialog box. when i click on that, only color management is an option. This is after selecting Picture package. please help.

    PS Elements 6 with Windows XP sp2. I tried the organizer but would go with either one that works. What I want to do is print between 3-6 photos on a plain white piece of paper, enlarged to fit the page with captions under each photo. I have used Word to do this but thought an all in one would be better. Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Published photos and captions do not match photos (correct on iWeb)

    I recently added more pictures on a couple of photopages and place in a certain order. It displaced all the photos and the captions accordingly. After Publishing the captions did not match the photos and seemed to stay in the places where they were previously published. I tried to retype each caption that was incorrect then saved then republish, however some were corrected but most were not. If you click on a incorrect picture and see the full pic, it opens with the correct caption/name on the window. I also added some new captions to certain photos without captions or changed some captions and some show and some do not. Anyone have any ideas. Thank you.

    Welcome to the discussion Ju
    The first thing that springs to mind is caching, if you are using Safari:
    go to Safari > Empty Cache..
    Then try the page again, you can also put a ? at the end of the address and refresh the page. Sometimes its a combination of both that fixes it, and sometimes it seems that the .mac servers cache everything and dont serve up the fully refreshed pages!

  • Create a photo page and have the photo's link to other internal pages

    really basic quesiton, sorry but I can't do this for some reason. I created a photo page that is going to be a menu page to link to some internal pages. for some reason the Enable as a Hyperlink is greyed out and I can't click on it to make the image a hyperlink.
    Any help or suggestions?
    Thanks

    What you need to do is place a shape over the top of the image, then using Inspector, Graphic Tab give it an Opacity of 1% then you can make the shape a hyperlink.
    The imageholders on the photo page cannot be used as hyperlinks.
    Alos you must giv ethe shape an opacity of at least 1%, if you try 0% it will not work.

  • Need help making photo page look clean,Time to show up on Google? Photoshop

    Just bought this Mac 2 days ago and am trying to make the switch. I was computer illeterate on my Dell as well but so far this program is pretty neat. I am trying to get my photo page cleaned up. I would like all the photos in a single row across the page with only one photo displayed underneath. I have seen a few demos with that done but I cannot figure it out. Ideally a slideshow would start automatically but I really just want a cleaned up page vs. a blob of photos.
    My site is http://www.greasysideup.com
    The picture demo is here http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#album - the scuba picture on the far right of the iweb showcase is the look I am going for.
    Additionally how long does it take to show up on a google search? I am following one of the listings on here on how to do that. On the google search pages there is a brief description of the page as well, I believe it is the title page. How do I make Google say how cool my site is? if it ever shows up on google?
    Last question - is there a program on my Mac similar to photoshop? I want to do some simple 3-d looking text angled slightly as if it is coming out of the screen with my name and the name of my business.
    The other thing I want to do is take this picture, make the background black and make the planes orange or red then put those in the background on one of the pages.
    /Users/joshwilson/Downloads/Yak50_profile.jpg
    (I need to learn to post a jpg in the forums as well I guess!!) The photo is the last one on my website photo page labeled Yak 50_profile. I want to make the background black and the outline orange.
    Thanks for all the help. This site is great! I think I'll be glad I made the Mac Switch.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.
