Photo rotator xml

I've seen several sites that have an .swf that acts as the
container for a photo "album" , but the images are all externally
linked, and the "dissolve" and "rotating" effect is controlled by
an external .xml file. Replacing the images, or editing the timing,
fade, etc is easily edited by working with the code in the .xml
file. I was just wondering if this is a new feature with CS4
(making it worth the upgrade), or is it a plug-in that needs to be
purchased?
I've found several sites that offer to sell the plug-in, but
I wanted to be sure it's not something that flash offers with the
upgrade...
Thanks in advance for any advice...

Basic answer/you need to find where in that code the automated cycling of images is managed and incorporate something that checks when the total number of images being processed have been processed and then shut down that cycling at that point. Shutting it down might be (just might) as simple as setting that auto_play variable to false when the time comes.
Beyond that, that is a bit much code to throw into a forum and expect someone to go thru to solve your design for you.

Does the iTouch use the EXIF Orientation info for Photo Rotation?

Just got an 8GB iTouch. Adobe Photoshop Elements and other programs I use on my computer use the EXIF rotation data in the jpg created by my Canon SD500 camera to correctly orient the photo on my computer. The iTouch apparently does not. This seems to be a big missing item. I would not want to have to rotate portrait photos before sending to the iTouch! Orientation data has been used for years. Am I missing some setting or did Apple miss this feature?
So basically, landscape photos come up ok, but portrait photos come up 90 deg rotated. Then of course when you try to rotate the iTouch to see it correctly, the photo rotates another 90 deg because of the built in iTouch sensor. Very aggravating.

OK...

Why dont photos rotate?

Why don't photos rotate from landscape to portrait mode? Do you think this will be fixed?

Make sure Rotation Lock is off.

New upload issue - bad photo rotation on homepage upload

When I upload my homepage from iPhoto 5.02 to Homepage, some (but not all) the photos that I had rotated to portrait format have reverted to their original landscape format - so they are displayed sideways. They are all on the correct orientation in the page that iPhoto displays as you compose - it must be a problem somewhere in the upload.
Can anyone offer any help? Am I missing something? Or is this a new glitch in the upload process?

Further to this - a bit of perusal of the discussions under the searches "photo rotation" and "photo orientation" show a varying bunch of problems relating to differences of photo orientation between the full-size and the original. (I have checked, and my photos that Homepage is displaying wrongly also display wrongly within iPhoto in edit mode). They all seem to crop up in May - none before, with one exception; issues of photo rotation when syncing to iPod Photo, which crop up from Feb/March.
So my guess is that there was a fix for the iPod sync problem, that has thrown everything else out. Homepage uploads, slideshows, possibly photo-albums, export to iDVD - all the things that work off the (incorrectly oriented) full-size, rather than the correctly oriented thumbnail. (I expect the preview of Homepage works from the thumbnail, whereas the actually uploaded page is processed from the full-sized image).
Another factor might be that all (?) that specify their camera are using Canon, models that automatically embed camera orientation. They note that iPhoto used to orient the photos automatically on import, but now they need to manually rotate. Could just mean a lot of Apple users choose Canon though...
I've reported it as a bug, so I guess we just wait for 5.0.3. In the meantime, faulty homepages are an unfortunate public advertisement of an embarrassing Apple iGlitch.

Z10 photo rotation within apps.

MY Z10 HAS STARTED ROTATING PICTURES TAKEN WITHIN FACEBOOK AND TWITtER APPS. ANY PHOTO TAKEN WITH THE CAMERA IS FINE IT IS JUST ONES TAKEN WITHIN THE APP. ANY SUGgESTIONS I HAVE DONE A RESTART.

Hello karlatkinson and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're having difficulty with the photo rotation.
When you capture the photo, how are you holding your device? Horizontal or portrait?
If you rotate your device when capturing the photo, does it show proper in the preview before you go to post?
Thanks!

Photo rotation gone in iPad1 with iOS5??

I have recently updated my iPad with iOS5 (old iPad1, not iPad2)
and found out that photo rotation button in the photos app is GONE.
I'm typically using my iPad to import photos from my digital cameras by camera connection kit,
and when some of the photos are in wrong directions, there was this rotation button to fix it right in the old iOS4.
But now its gone without any explanations!!
I'm not asking Apple to support advanced photo editing feature like Pad2 in my iPad1....
I just want the photo rotation function WHICH WAS THERE BEFORE back.
Is it just me, or are there any hidden intentions??

Hello,
I talked to Apple support this great problem, no one could give me an answerbecause they did not know of the existence of this function with "camera kit".After a report via email with a screenshot from the internet they said: "It's normalthat you change something in an update" and the link:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4559
Stupid answer! Stupid and without respect for careful MacUser! The instruction manual iPad1 function is present with the "camera kit" and must remain so.
Do not they realize unuseable an expensive accessory Apple?
I checked if ios 5.1 rotation function has returned to work, but it is not so!
Boys fill the mail service, spread the problem on all forums, we use all the channels you know! Apple should make our voice heard. And if we are not heardwe are all going to return the "camera kit" asking for a refund of our money!

P. S. sorry for my horrible English

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 = " +

f.close();
} catch(e) {
function getTitle(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;

var varHeight = md.ImageLength;

function getRating(tn) {

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!"

Photo rotate not working in iMovie or entourage

I'm running iPhoto 5.0.4 and ever since the most recent update, photos that are vertical are shown horizontally. When I go to rotate the photos so that they appear correct, it shows correctly in the main library view, but when I click on it to the edit view the orientation is back to horizontal, and when I go to email the photos or load them into iMovie they continue to display horizontally despite any rotation I do to them in iPhoto. Help!

It sounds like your database is slightly damaged. You can try an automatic rebuild. Hold down the Option and Command keys while you launch iPhoto. Check the first 3 options in the dialog box, then click Rebuild. It can take a while if you have a lot of pictures. You can read about the rebuild procedure in this Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107947

IPhoto 6 Book publishing and photo rotation problem

I've had issues making a Book where photos in the Library that have been selected for the Book have been rotated. I find that these photos seem to have a mind of theor own. When they are selected and dragged onto a book page they initially are orientated as they were originally (ie upside down for example) and then within a moment orientate themselves correctly. In fact I've had some that simply aren't oriented correctly at all and all I can do is to go back to Library and rotate them sideways to get then rihtside up in the book. I know if I double-click the photo on the book page I can manipulate the photo the way I want but it all makes me nervous send the book off for publication as I don't want to have to re-make the book later if it were to be returned to me with phots upside down etc.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so what is your suggestion or how did you resolve the issue. If you have seen this and published your book did it turn out as you expected with photos rightside up ?
Thanks in advance for any feedback on this issue.

Barry:
Does your camera have an auto rotate option on it? If so I would turn it off and do the rotation manually after it gets into iPhoto. It has to do with handling the rotate information that the camera puts in the file to let applications view it in the correct orientation without having to acutally rotate the image file. You might try exporting a rotated file to the desktop and view it in Preview. If it is correctly orientated import back into iPhoto and see if that file behaves properly. It's not a pretty workaround but may get you thru your book.

Unexpected reduction in file size for photos rotated on my camera.

Hello,
This seems a bit weird and wondering if anyone has an idea on why this is happening.
I take my photo on my camera and then rotate it within the camera to the proper orinetation.
Import the photos into iphoto and automatically it places the origional 4MB file in the origionals folder and then in the modified folder it places a copy about 2MB in size.
If I control click I an revert the 2MB back to the full 4MB version, but wonder why is iPhoto doing this?
Thanks in advance for any help and assistance.
Cheers,
harley2g

Harley:
You camera has an auto-rotate option that creates a tag telling other applications that the image needs to be rotated for proper viewing. iPhoto automatically reads that tag and creates a rotated version as saves it in its Modified folder. It's the same as any edit. If you look closely you'll find that after a short time iPhoto will recreate the rotated version.
One problem encountered with that is when you send the photo to another application from iPhoto and that application does not read the rotate tag it will appear back in the unrotated orientation.
The only way to avoid the modified file and get the file to be orientated correctly is to rotate it before you import into the library. If you turn off the auto-rotate in the camera and the rotate before importing into iPhoto all future applications of that image will appear correctly orientated.

Flash photo gallery .xml question (Firefox)

I made a photo gallery using SimpleViewer (
http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/)
The gallery worked perfectly in both IE and Firefox, but I
made some changes and added some new photos to the gallery more
than 24 hours ago. The changes showed up right away in IE, but in
Firefox, it still shows my 'old' gallery. I can still see the
gallery fine. The file is .xml and I was wondering if there was a
code or something I could use (maybe in the html file) so that
Firefox would be more compatible and make the changes
quicker.

I had to go into firefox and clear the cookies and that
worked. But, there has to be an easier way to do this. I don't want
to tell people on my site that every time the photo gallery is
updated, they have to clear the cookies in the foxfire browser to
see them.
Help!

Photo rotate not present in os4?

I installed OS4 to my iphone thismorning, and everything is working okay. However, i read that you can rotate pictures in the Camera Roll, but the only options i have when i tap are "Email Photo", "MMS", "Assign to Contact" and "Use as Wallpaper".
Am i missing something?
Thanks,
Nev

looks like it was there in the beta version but somehow they skipped it in the final version..

Tutorial needed: Nivo Slider powered by Photo Gallery XML feed

I'm in need of some help. I've setup my Photo Gallery, generated the xml feed. I went to the Nivo slider site, but don't see instructions of how to make it read the xml file.

So this is the information that I'm using which leads me to believe I can use the xml feed to populate the slider.
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1780
. You can now style this using your own CSS or use one of the many free, jQuery-based Gallery/Slideshow plugins available on the web, such as Galleria, the jQuery Cycle plugin, or InnerFade.
When using a seperate jQuery plugin on top of this set up, make sure you place and execute the plugin script after the code we just inserted, so that our LI items are generated before it attempts to process and manipulate them.
Am I right and it just takes the proper coding?

Photos rotate in Slideshow

I imported a batch of photos from my Canon camera into iPhoto. Some are vertical, others are horizontal. When I view them in the library or an album they are oriented correctly. I created a slideshow from them and when I view the photos in the photobrowser at the top of the slideshow edit page they are also oriented correctly.
However...
when I play the slideshow, the vertical photos are rotated to a horizontal position. What's going on? And is there an easy way to fix it? I have a LOT of vertical photos. I noticed I can go through each one and rotate it so it shows up horizontal in the photo browser, but then displays correctly during the slideshow. That seems crazy. If they look vertical in the photobrowser, then they ought to look the same way when the slideshow is played.

This has happened to me also - ONLY after upgrading to iLife '06. My camara is a Sony and doesn't have the option for auto-rotation enabled (doubt it even has such an option). I import into iPhoto '06 and manually rotate my profile images to their correct orientation. Playing the slideshow reveals them in landscape once more. If I use the rotation controls within the slideshow, this can be corrected - BUT if I close the slideshow and go back to iPhoto '06, the once correctly-oriented (before the slideshow) images now appear in landscape - in the OPPOSITE direction of their originally-imported landscape direction. So it looks like iPhoto '06 image orientation is not being relayed correctly to the slideshow.
Additionally, my settings for slideshow to NOT have music playing is not saved no matter how many times I revisit that option and click save after unchecking the "play music" box.
Looking forward to iLife '06.01!

Blu-Ray slide show photo rotation

I am making Blu-Ray slide shows using Premier Elements 11 from albums created in Elements 11. In the finished slide shows many of the pictures are not correctly rotated. The compiler is pulling the original photo from My Pictures and not from the album; the photos were correctly rotated in the albums. Is there a fix for this? Is the only solution to go through 5,000 photos in My Pictures and rotate the photos that were taken vertically?

Do a search, and you'll see lots of issues with Encore Bluray slideshows. I do not know what the formula may be for success. I do not use them.
Yes, a plain slideshow has one mts per slide. A slideshow with transition but no zoom/pan has one per slide and one per transition. A slideshow with transition and zoom/pan has one per slide with the full duration per mts.
A variety of quality issues have been reported, but I don't recall the color flashes issue. I get what looks very similar to me.
I recommend doing the slideshow in Premiere, and just having no control for the user. One person reported making a chapter point for each slide, and that allowed some advance.
You can get a clean slide using no transitions and no pan/zoom; H264 for project settings (used for slideshows) is the recommendation when Mpeg results in poor slideshow quality.
