Photo preview in Mavericks complicated

Hello,
(upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mavericks directly)
In Snow Leopard preview I could open a photo, normal JPEG, edit it, crop it, resize it, improve colours etc. for business use, save it with a different name, then send this modified copy by email. This was very quick.
Now it's all complicated and slower to do.
There is no "save as" so when you modify the picture you replace the original?
What is the button to use when you want to save this edited picture with a different name?
The buttons on top are not clearly visible and cropping is not that easy as before.
Thanks

Hello Jeanjacq,
When using the File > Save option you will overwrite the origional... You can save as... the image using File > Export ...
My question to Apple/Developers...
Why is the cropping tool not showing the cropped image after cropping?
I mean, when i make a selection on an image and press the crop button... the image is cropped, but i still see the uncropped version on the screen. This is very irritating. Will this be solved in an update or is this a setting?

How to create a photo preview album DVD in DVDStudio Pro ?

Hi,
How can i create a DVD still image ( Photo ) preview with DVDStudio Pro ? The preview should allow the viewer to go back and forth between images in addition to pause and go back to index gallery with the remote control. The final result should be something like a Flash or HTML web image gallery created by LightRoom ( sorry for the F word in APPLE space ). It will be used by elderly users that are not computer saavy but need to proof / preview still photography sessions.
If DVDStudio Pro is not the tool for this, could you recommand a Mac application for this.

iPhoto doesn't run on the iPad. Other than that you'd need to ask your question on the iPad forum.

Deleted picture keeps showing up in photo preview of camera

Okay so I took a picture on my phone with the camera from the lock screen. When I tried to view it it gave me a message that said that there were no photos or videos. So even when I unlocked my phone and checked my albums the picture isn't in any of the albums, but it still shows up in the photo preview in the bottom left hand corner. I've deleted all the pictures that I've taken today and it still shows up in the preview How do I get rid of that picture so it doesn't keep showing up?

Hi charlbi,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you took a photo from the lock screen that shows in the lower left preview window, but that picture doesn’t show up in any albums in Photos. In this situation, I would suggest resetting your iPhone and checking again. Please let me know if you still see the preview of that picture after the reset.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Cheers,

Just found out that I can't run microsoft word or adobe photo shop with Mavericks, any way to solve this?

Just found out that I can't run microsoft word or adobe photo shop with Mavericks, is there a way to make this work?

You must be using very old versions (Office 2004 or older, Photoshop CS2 or older).
Upgrade to newer, or current versions.

An Aperture 3 "Photo Preview" explanation appreciated.

As I have plenty of free disk storage I would like to set “Photo Preview” to yield the best possible quality and size. (The resolution of my monitor is 1260 X 1440)
I would appreciate an explanation of the choices of the Fit Within figures such as “Don’t limit”, “Fit within 2560 X 2560”, Fit within 1920 X 1920” etc.
My aim is to show my photos onscreen to their best advantage as well as sometimes using them for emailing to friends or creating slide shows for emailing to friends.
Are my current settings right for my purposes?
Photo Preview                       “Don’t limit”
Photo Preview Quality          10

Hi Cliff. Sounds like you got this figured out already .
The Preview file that Aperture creates and keeps is a JPG rendering of the Image. In general it is a big thumbnail.   The Preview is used:
- as a placeholder while the Original+Version is rendered (this is done "live" -- Aperture does not keep these files from session to session).
- when in in Quick Preview mode (the Preview is used in place of the fully-rendered Image in order to speed processing when culling or working with metadata).
- when you drag an Image from Aperture to another program.
- when the Originals are off-line (e.g.: if you have put your Image's Originals on an external drive and that drive is not mounted).
- in Slideshows (but if you create a Slideshow and the Previews don't exist, Aperture will create them).
- and probably a few I forgot.
The Preview can also be used as a some insurance against total loss: if you lose your Image's Originals but still have the full Library, the Library will have the Previews.
You should set your Preview size (and existence) based on your needs. I keep Previews of every Image, at the resolution of my monitor, at compression level 10. If you truly want "best quality" and maximum size, you should set yours to "Don't limit" and "12". The difference between 12 and 10 is going to be a lot of bytes, and probably no perceptible change in quality. The size you select is straight-forward, with a direct relationship between size and storage requirements.
Note that you can delete and re-render Previews at any time. I have found it much easier to "set it and forget it" -- but I am willing to provide the storage space needed and prefer the performance of a Library with a full set of Previews.
I suspect you've see it, but the User Manual page on Previews is here.

Quicktime preview in mavericks

Is there any way of getting back QT previews in Mavericks, with out shelling out £199 on Final Cut X? Seams mad Apple have 'broken' their own format and forced you to purchase a £199 program to get the functionality back. Just paid £2700 for a mac book pro with less functionality!
Very frustrating, seeing its their own format!

I have a solution!!! I cant beleve how easy it was everyone on the forum with this problem will love how simple it its!
Just find someone with Mountain Lion and copy that version of "Movie.qlgenerator"
System/library/Quicklook/Movie.qlgenerator
....paste into your Mavericks System/library/Quicklook/ folder.
Reset your machine, all your old legacy thumbnails of quicktime return!!!! Still no ability to play but solves half the frustration. Hopefully Apple wil make a update if enough of us complain.
Why Apple developers thought it was a good idea to give us all a headache on dropping legacy QT previews I will never know!
(Just be on the safe side make sure you copy and paste the Mavericks "Movie.qlgenerator" to your desk top incase people have a diferent version and it brakes something)

Photo preview icon

ok, here's my problem, some of the photo previews in finder window doesnt display properly, it just shows a black icon, where as others display normally. is there's n e settings i can change? or do i have to delete some sorta preference list files?
thanks

I would try rebooting your computer, and then make sure the system files for displaying thumnail images have not been mvoed or accidently deleted. (it is very easy to delete something or move something in the system folders by accident)

How to restore photo previews

When I upgraded to iLife11, my photo previews disappeared. How do I restore them?

The dialog box you mentioned does not appear.
Then you're not holding both of those two keys completely down before launching iPhoto. Once it's done correctly you'll get this window:

Photo Preview Pages

I am looking for a way to make spiral bound photo preview albums and thought Pages might be a suitable application.
A test run has shown it can be done manually without too much effort thanks to image placeholders and modifying templates. There is one snag and that is getting the photo caption/number to appear either within the image or below it. I cannot see a way that Pages can handle that.
Can anyone offer a solution either within or without of Pages.
Of course contact sheets are easy enough from Photoshop/Elements, but I need a much more attractive layout and a black or dark blue background. Text therefore needs to be white. Files will be made into wet processed photo prints so no danger of wasting gallons of ink or toner.
17 and 24 Intel iMacs Mac OS X (10.4.9) And an old white iBook still giving service

My photos reside mainly in iPhoto and some in Aperture.
When making a slideshow in iDVD I notice that images can be made to contain the caption. I was looking for a similar facility in Pages but do not think this is available.
I note your comment regarding manually typing but this is somewhat laborious with several hundred images per album. Any typos made would have a knock on effect that might harm customer relationships, so I would prefer automatic captioning.
Thanks anyway.

Lightroom 3.2 catalog export failure "Photo previews could not be found"

I just attempted to use File > Export as Catalog... on my notebook. After the export completed a message was generated that reported Photo previews could not be found. (997) and listed all of the missing previews. I reviewed a random sample of the listed file names and the previews clearly exist. The LR catalog on the notebook contains 1596 photos in 17 folders.
I would really like to move these photos to my desktop's LR catalog without having to recreating the previews.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Bain Lothian

Lr occasionally does this when it determines that there is an issue with the original previews. Typically, this would be were the previews had been created in a version prior to Lr3.
Have you tried opening the exported catalog? If not, do so as the previews may well have exported. If if they haven't it may be best to recreate them from scratch. If nothing else it will give you some reassurance that there's been no corruption.

RAW photo files in Mavericks

Hello!
Since I've installed Mavericks I do have very long loadtimes for photo-files in Preview. While it was easy to browse through my pictures before it's now nearly impossible to work with. Does anybody have a solution for this problem?
While working Preview uses up to 700% of my CPU activity..
Thank you.

Make sure the color profile is sRGB before bringing in Muse, take a look at a similar thread here - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1399746.

Cannot disable automatic attachment preview in Mavericks Mail?

Hello All,
I noticed after upgrading to Mavericks that Apple Mail started automatically previewing attachments again... I had disabled this in previous versions of OS X. I tried to disable this again in the terminal using:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
But after re-starting Mail, attachments are being automatically previewed again.
I consider this a security issue so I would like to disable automatic attachment previewing as soon as possible. Has anyone been able to do this with the Mail included with Mavericks yet?

Just a basic examplo: getting an email with an open image, that the 2 people around me can immediately see, can pose a serious security for anything I'm doing with my Mac!
So, you see, SECURITY is much more than a mere technical problem!
Cheers
That's a privacy problem, not a security problem.
If you are receiving images in emails that the others arround you are not qualified to see, your office setup is the security problem, not Mail.
Use a different email client that gives you the option. I have no idea what those are, though.

Finder Cover Flow image preview size is small, cannot be adjusted and showing empty blank previews in Mavericks

When using Cover Flow the image preview in the main window (not the thumbnail list at the bottom) images appear but only use about 1/2 of the window space available. It is also showing black/blank preview images as I scroll through the files even though they are cached.
I enlarge the Finder to fill my 27 inch display, slide the size adjustment handle (three lines under the file name preview) all the way down as far as I can. The preview only enlarges to a certain point leaving the upper half of the window unused. I wish to enlarge the cover flow preview images to use this window space even if it affects the overlapping or number of cover flow images avaialble in the window. I am assuming this is becasue of the nature of cover flow showing the two previous and two following images to the left and right of the previewed image. As I scroll left and right occsionally one of the upcoming images will appear as and empty preview as well. It's all goofed up.
Hoping for any suggestions.
I have seen articles about using terminal to adjust "flow height" but never anything substainial that seemend like an informed solution.

I also would like to know if there is an answer to this. My landscape photos always display with a third of the cover flow window as blank empty space (matching your screenshot). This seems like such a waste. Is there any way to change the "padding" between the top of the finder bar and the cover flow preview?

Renaming a file in Preview for Mavericks

When I try to rename a file in preview (File -> Rename) and I start typing the input box just gets overwritten I can't see the file name anymore:
Start:
Bug:
Bug 2:
Also the only way to get it to work is this new "Tags" drop down with the arrow, but there A) no key command to get there (terrible UI) and B) you can't save it once you are in.

This sounds like a bug from the install. I use Mavericks and do not have this problem. I suggest reinstalling: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13871

How to find all bookmarked PDF documents in Preview in Mavericks?

Hi there,
the problem is that before upgrading to Mavericks I could view all my bookmarked PDF documents just via menu bar in Preview, but now in Mavericks I have no idea how to manage this bookmarked documents - I can see bookmarks only after opening these PDF files which have been bookmarked. Just imagine that you have thousands of documents of which only a couple have been bookmarked for later reading - as I can see the only way to find these documents in Maverick is to open documents one by one and see whether they have bookmarks or not... Is there any way to bypass this painful procedure?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Alex

I tried this and it works as you describe, but not all Hypercard documents appear to have the same content type, as described by Terminal.
The first Hypercard stack I tried came up with the content type:
dyn.ah62d4rv4ge8xe6u
The search only found the one result with this type (the same stack).
Then I tried using the Hypercard "Home" stack (a pretty central stack to Hypercard's functioning), and it had a content type:
dyn.ah62d4rv4gk8zgzcbmq
(note the type is longer with a different ending; only the first 14 characters are identical to the first stack).
This search found 317 items, which is likely most of my Hypercard documents, so this is some progress.
Unfortunately I know that since the first stack I tried had a different content type, there may be other Hypercard stacks on my hard drive with yet a different content type, not caught by these searches.
I then tried a wildcard, thinking that if only the first 14 characters of the content type are identical, I focus my search on those characters only, using asterisk as a wildcard at the end. So I searched for:
dyn.ah62d4rv4g*
The result was 526 hits, including many documents that are not Hypercard. So this doesn't help.
It appears that the content type is not exactly specific to a the File Type or Creator Code, so while I can find many of a particular document, this method cannot find all of one type of document.
I tried searching using raw query by the Terminal-reported File Type Code (kMDItemFSTypeCode= "STAK"), but this revealed no items.
Perhaps I should suggest this to Apple as a bug fix for Leopard, to restore the ability to search by Type Code or Creator Code as a choice in the OS Find service? I know these codes are no longer relied on as much as they used to be, since now the OS uses extension as much as anything else, but there is lots of older software that still run in Leopard that use Type and Creator codes. And Apple still recommends registering the creator code of any new software.
Thank you!
