Photo stacks: Can PSE10 automatically stack same named files?

Hi all. I take jpg + RAW pics with my DSLR, for the most part the jpgs come out fine but now and again I like to tinker with the RAW's. So I like to keep both incase I'm inclined to tinker in the future.
To keep my photo catalogue looking neat and tidy I stack the jpg and RAW so only the single image shows. I can obviously select both images and the select stack, or I can select a whole load of images and select auto stack which then suggests stacks based on photo likeness. This is OK sometimes, but often many images are of the same subject and I don't want 10 stacked, just the 2 same files in jpg + RAW.
This can be a bit of a laborious task if I'm putting 300 pics on the PC........ Is there a way to automatically stack the same file number jpg + RAW?

Intrestingly enough I do not understand why the same company makes products for the same tasks with completly different concepts for same features. The way I like to manage my workflow is to take jpeg+raw, then I would like to stack, go through the jpegs, make a album out of my selection and then work/ edit on jpeg or the raw (depending the type and ammount of work).
Regretfully I found that Lightroom does a great job of stacking automatically by capture time, hence stacking the jpeg+raw, which is great..but then when I go through my photos and tag them or move them to a collection, Lightroom  works only on the top of the photo at the top of the stack, so when I go to my collection I cannot expand the stack and decide on which photos I rather work to publish or share. Now PSE10 does not stack by capture time, so you need to do pair by pair manually o try using the "image recognition functionality", but on the other hand when you are working through an album you can expand all photos in the stack...
I would love both functionalities in at least one of these adobe products,
1) auto stacking by capture time and
2) keeping the stack together across any view/filter
I have now spent last few weeks trying to see which product has the best workaround to decide which product I will keep as my standard or if I try to find a non-adobe product, for now I seemed to have found a plug-in from http://www.beardsworth.co.uk/lightroom/syncomatic/ which allows to automatically copy keywords and metadata within stacks in Lightroom allowing me to maintain the stacks together, but I think the PSE10 way to do it is much better..So you might want a try using lightroom, because I found no workaround yet for the autostacking in PSE10

  • Sg500x stacking - can you LAG stacking ports?

    I have 2 questions about stacking with the sg500x switch.  We have 3 of them.
    question #1 - can we LAG two stacking ports together, to increase the stack bandwidth to 20gbps?  I'd like the increased bandwidth, and you can LAG the regular 10G ports together but the manual and the admin UI doesn't appear to support two stacking connections between two switches.
    question #2 - the manual indicates that you can configure all 4 10G ports as regular or stacking ports as needed.  However, after digging a bit it appears this may be an error in the documentation.  Elsewhere in the documentation it mentions that by setting the stack configuration to "standalone" the 2 stacking ports will automatically be reclaimed as standard non-stacking ports.  So that explains how to get all 4 configured as regular ports, but how do I configure all 4 ports as stacking ports?  Of course, this doesn't matter with my configuration if I can't LAG two stacking ports together.  My hope was to have 2 10G ports to each switch from each of the other 2 switches.  Like this:
    switch A S1 & S2 <->  switch B S1 & S2
    switch A S3 & S4 <-> switch C S1 & S2
    switch B S3 & S4 <-> switch C S3 & S4

    Thanks for the response. I did as you suggested, re-configured all 3 as standalone, then setup ports XG1 & XG2 in a LAG on switches A & B and connected them with 2 SFP-H10GB-CU1M SFP+ Copper Cable modules.  Interestingly, the LAG speed shows as 1000M when I would have expected it to show as 10G.  I haven't run tests yet to determine if this is just a display issue or what.
    I intend to then connect switch A & C using a LAG on ports XG3 & XG4 using SFP-10G-SR SFP+ optical module.
    FYI - the documentation wording which was a bit confusing was on page 51 of the 500 Series Admin Guide.  Under "stack ports" it had this text,
    "You can manually reconfigured S1/S2 and S3/S4 as network ports or stack ports as desired.  All the stack ports on a device operates in standalone mode will automatically become regular Ehternet network ports."
    This suggested to me that all 4 ports could potentially be configured as stack ports. The wording could be a bit more precise.

  • If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

    Hi Folks,
    I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my  Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
    So is that doable?
    Thanks in advance

    And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time

  • Can I use the same tpz file from PI 7.0 to PI 7.1 ?

    I have configured JDBC sender (Oracle 10.2) to ABAP proxy receiver scenario using PI 7.0
    The customer now wants to install PI 7.1 and they want this to be a fresh installation, not an upgrade.
    If I export my configurations to the tpz, can I import the same in PI 7.1 as it is?
    Also, please let me know is there are any other risks that I should consider.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Prasad

    I was able to get some helpful answers in this thread
    PI 7.0  & PI 7.1
    What I understand is that it is mostly prossible but minor adjustments may be required. I guess I will understand the intricacies when it is actually done.
    Thanks all for your replies. I have awarded points for the helpful answers.

  • How can I automate attaching a .pdx file to a group of PDFs

    I am using Acrobat Pro v9.  None of the Batch sequence operations allow me to set the Search Index field in the Document Properties->Advanced tab.  I want to be able to automatically attach a .pdx file to approx 80 PDF files.   I know that there is a way to automatically rebuild the .pdx file, but I need to attach the index to the PDF files, first.  Is there a way to do this via Javascript?  Or any third party plugins that will do this?

    Hello,
    You can also use the FTP Put File.vi to programmatically transfer a file to your Real-Time Target, however, for this you will need the LabVIEW Internet Toolkit.

  • Is there a way to batch process a group of photos?  Can I add the same "info" to all of the photos in an album?

    I've tried to find a way to add data in the info panel of a photo and apply it to all the photos in an album but have not been able to do so. Does anyone know how I can do this?
    Also, iPhoto '09 is crashing....I get the spinning rainbow wheel of death every time I open this album (which contains about 200 RAW files). My library on this MacBP is small.  I keep seperate libraries on external HDs.  No other apps are running.  What gives?
    Thanks, Yoni

    Thank you, that was perfect!

  • Can Firefox automatically return to a file with a media link after the media has played?

    WIndows XP, Firefox 33.11.
    html documents have lines of dialogue text and a link to the audio of each dialogue line.
    The audio is sometimes mp3, sometimes wav.
    Clicking on a link plays the audio OK, however when the audio finishes, one has to manually
    click back to the document. This is inconvenient when sifting through numerous lines of dialogue.
    Is there a way to automatically re-display the document as soon as the audio finishes playing.

    HI sayang,
    I understand that opening an audio file in the same tab disrupts the viewing of the previous website you were browsing.
    There is no feature built into Firefox that does this, however there are some features that you can try to have an alternative:
    For example, opening the audio file in a new tab by right clicking on the link is a possibility. Also using the hot key Alt + Enter when clicking on the media url.

  • Can I use the same music file for two accounts to be able to set up two different iTunes accounts?

    I would like to set up two different Itunes accounts on my mac.  I would like to have different accounts for my wife and I so that our devices have different accounts/contacts/email and stuff but we would like to use the same music library.  Can I set the different itunes to go to the same file to see music?  Or could I copy the music file and give the copy to the second itunes account?  I could set it up and authorize the music like for another user?  Is any of this possible?

    Hello 19firedude
    Try moving the entire iTunes Media folder to the Shared folder on your Mac and then in iTunes preferences, change the location of that folder to line it up. Then all you have to do in another user is follow the second set of steps to get that shared properly. Check out the article below for more detailed instructions.

  • Using to Time machine to get file that was saved over by same named file

    I accidentally deleted a file by naming a file the same name. Is it possible to go back and get one file using Time Machine? If so how do I do that?
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Enter Time Machine -> Browse back in time until you get to a date where the file would still exist and then browse through the Finder window until you find the file you want -> Highlight it with a single click -> Click 'Restore' in the bottom right.
    I would suggest moving/deleting the file you renamed over it before doing so just to keep away from any complications.

  • How can I automatically open certain excel files at startup?

    I would like two specific excel 2011 files to open when I start my computer?  How do I do?

    You could add them to your login items:
    System Preferences>Accounts (or Users & Groups depending on OS version)>Login Items tab and click on the + sign to add an item and navigate you way to the file you want to open and select it. Repeat for the second file. They should now launch on restart/bootup.

  • Can Automatic stacking of files coming back in from PS be disabled?

    When I send a DNG file to PSCS4 with the "edit in PS" command in LR (2.3) and then finish with the new file in PS and save it as a PSD, it gets automatically put back in LR just fine. BUT I notice that it is always stacked with the original DNG file (in the open stack configuration). I would like it to be NOT stacked at all and just organized according to file name.
    Can this automatic stacking be turned off? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Thanks in advance.
    Scott

    When I open up a DNG file in LR 2.3 it opens directly in PS WITHOUT going through Camera raw and has all of the adjustments I have made to it in LR, thus it would seem to me that LR is the Raw Converter that is doing the work. I never see the Camera Raw dialog box/controls, but I always see all the adjustments that I have made in LR before sending the file off to PS.
    This experience seems to contradict what you have said.
    Can you help me understand this further?
    I appreciate that it isn't obvious, but when you choose Edit in Photoshop CS4 (Ctrl/Cmd+E) in Lr2.x the DNG file is sent directly to Photoshop and processed by Camera Raw in the background. The converted file is not saved at that point but instead exists solely in RAM until saved in Photoshop. However, when you configure Lr2.3 to use Photoshop CS4 as an additional external editor the DNG file will be processed by Lr and the converted TIFF/PSD is saved before being sent to Photoshop.

  • Can't import RAW and psd file with same name different extension

    Trying to import a folder of images from desktop that I have been working with in Bridge CS3.
    LR won't import a RAW file that has a PSD file by the same name. Tried renaming the PSD and deleting the one with the same name, but says it is still there and won't import the RAW file - What is the correct workaround on this? Why can't it import same name files with different extensions?

    A forum search for 'RAW + JPEG' will give you more posts on this than you care to read. This will change. For now, import the RAW and PSD's from separate folders and then move them together for within LR.
    LR is seeing the RAW as a sidecar to the PSD. It is an unforseen effect of the RAW + JPEG thing where they decided to not import the JPEG, seeing it as basically a preview image for the RAW.

  • How to automatically generate a build file of the application from command-line

    Hi All
    How can we automatically generate a build file of the application from command-line (as opposed to using Jdev IDE to click to generate a build.xml) ?
    Thanks

    User, which jdev version do you use?
    I don't think you can do this. You can only create an ant build.xml from the project inside jdev.
    You can use ojdeploy to build the project.  This is the only method which will also make the necessary changes to the descriptors.

  • In LR6CC, after using the merge to HDR and the photo returns to LR as a DRG, it is not automatically put into a previously set up stack. For example a stack of three photos. If I use NIK HDR and the photo returns to LR, the stack is automatically changed

    In LR6CC, after using the merge to HDR and the photo returns to LR as a DRG, it is not automatically put into a previously set up stack. For example a stack of three photos. If I use NIK HDR and the photo returns to LR, the stack is automatically changed from 3 to 4. When LR's HDR merge brings a photo back into LR's library, the stack number does not change and the DRG version isn't included in the stack.

    Hi,
    The Ps CS6 public beta version contains the same camera support as found in Ps CS5/5.5 compatible CR 6.6. There will be future updates to CR 7 for Ps CS6 to pick up more camera support. The Nikon D800 NEF files are not supported, yet.
    If you like to work with your D800 files in the public beta build now, you'll have to get the DNG Converter 6.7 from here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
    and convert your files to DNG.
    regards,

  • I don't want the editor to automatically stack edited photos. How do I turn it off?

    I do not want the editor to automatically stack edited photos in the organizer. How do I turn it off?

    How do you DISABLE the Organizer?   So that I don't have to uncheck the box each time I save a photo.   Nothing in the Help section.
    You can't disable the Organizer but if you don't check the box, you don't have to do it next time, this choice is 'sticky'. If it's not for you, I suggest that you delete the editor preferences (menu Edit/preferences, general in recent PSE versions), you have a button to click on.
