Photo within a photo

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum as well to Photoshop itself, so please pardon the newbee questions.
In putting together art work for CDs and DVDs, I would like to put a small photo within a larger one. I assume you would overlap layers (?) But when I open a new photo (the smaller one) it has its own set of layers.
How do I set a photo within another?
To clarify, I'm using Photoshop Elements 3.
Thanks,
--Barry

Working with layers is confusing for many new users so don't feel too frustrated.
Method 1
Open Image 1.
Open Image 2.
Click Windows>Images>Tile.
You can now drag your second photo into the first photo. It should create its own layer that you can move/resize with the Move Tool.
Method 2
Open the image you want to move.
Select All Edit Copy.
Close this image.
Open the image you want to hold both images.
Edit Paste.
It should create its own layer that you can move/resize with the Move Tool.
The only difference is how many windows you have open at one time. I prefer working with only one open window, but that is strictly personal preference.

How to find referenced photos within the Photos app

Problem:
Upon instructing Photos to use iCloud Photo Library, the app informed me:
"104 referenced files in your library will not upload to iCloud Photo Library. Select referenced files in your library and choose 'Consolidate' from the File menu to copy the original files into the library."
I do not know which 104 images in my library are referenced, and therefore cannot use "Consolidate" to import the masters into the library.
Can anyone tell me how to find referenced files, within the active library in the Photos app?
I am not asking how to use the "Show Referenced File in Finder" menu command. I need to identify a file as referenced first, hence this post!

Gotcha - came up with a workaround... since the photos were living in the Photo Library packaged itself, and not simply in another regular folder, I right clicked on the library and said show packaged content, then search for what folders the files lived in, then copied the files out of the packaged library into a folder. Then I was able to give the Photos Library access to the new folder with the files.
With all my files now references, I enabled iCloud Photo Library and am uploading now.
Hopefully my new local Photo Library will be smart enough to optimize local images and shrink to give me more space.
Thanks.

I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

Photo Quality - Shared Photo Streams

Is there any method of changing the quality of photos within shared Photo Streams?
For example, there's a massive drop from 8MP to 3.1MP for photos taken with an iPhone 4S then added to a shared Photo Stream. This makes it pretty much useless if I want to easily share original quality photos with other family members.

Photos stored in 'Photo Stream' are uploaded to the server with the original photo quality (Apple: "On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space.")
When you access the photo stream with a Mac/PC, the photos will be at the same original quality, but on a device like the iPhone 3GS, however, the photos will be at a 'device optimized' resolution. So if you access the photo stream with an iPhone 3GS the photos will be a lower quality, but the photos on the server will still be at the original quality, which means you can retrieve the full quality photos if you have a Mac/PC.
With shared photo streams, however, the situation is a bit different. Apple states that "Shared Photo Streams deliver photos in a device-optimized resolution that speeds upload and downloads and saves storage space", and therefore the photos are not uploaded to the server in the original resolution.

In Lightroom mobile how can move photos within the collection????

In Lightroom mobile how can move photos within the collection????

What you can do is to move (or copy) a photo form one collection to another. This can be triggered via the top right app menu item from grid view. Same menu is available when you open up an image for editing. Hope that helps. -Guido

How can I change the order of photos within an event?

iPhoto o9 won't let me change the order of photos within a single event- really annoying! I tried to view photos then click manual sort- but when I look back at the event it is not in the right order. what's wrong? Or can I even do this?

Yes you can do that - IF you go through and assign titles to every photo
You also can change the date/time on photo and iPhoto will then sort them in the new order
And you could assign unique key words to each photo such that the sort order is what you want and sort by key word
But you can not change the order in the sense most people mean - grab a photo and move it to a new location in an event
So yes you are right

Cannot edit text sufficiently within the Photo E-mail service (Elements 11)

Greetings to all, a little help required please....
Just purchased Elements 11 - excellent product at the price and am having a great deal of fun using it.
One frustrating flaw within the Photo E-mail service....
I've been using the Adobe e-mail service and it sends e-mail just fine having set up the account as required.
Each new e-mail appears with the text "Here are the files I want to share with you."
Now I'd like to replace that with some different text. I can delete it and replace it on the first editing page, and it stays there after I click 'Next' to the following 'Customise Layout' section.
Clicking on 'Next' after this page, we have the final e-mail page, and the text has reverted back to 'Here are the files I want to share with you' again......
I can delete it again, but cannot type in any further text anywhere on that screen.
Any help on this??
Shame, because the programme generally is superb. Have transformed a number of pics already, and it would be nice to use the e-mail prog that's built in as I'd like to use it, adding text as required. Otherwise, why have all the font and layout choices available if not??

I tried the same and its changing at my side.
Try to reset you preferences :
Open PSE just to the Welcome Screen and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Mac: Cmd + Opt + Shift) and keep pressing.
Click on organizer from the Welcome Screen but keep pressing the keyboard keys - don't let up.
You will get a little dialog box asking if you want to delete the settings file. Click "Yes." You can let go of the keyboard keys now.
This will rebuild the file for you and often solves the issue.
Try to send the email again.
Thanks

How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

iPhoto is not very smart with multiple photos...
I don't think you can move multiple photos and I suggest the following turnaround, using the "combine pages" option mentioned in my previous reply.
Create a blank page that you move next to the page(s) where the photos you want to move are;
then move your pictures there one by one (use the new page as a temporary parking space),
then merge this new page were you want to move the multiple pictures, using the "combine pages".
This would save time if your journal has many pages, so you don't have to move each photo through multiple pages but just to the next/previous page.
I just made this up but I tried it and it works!

How can I rearrange photos within album in iPhoto 9.5

I used to be able to do this in older iphoto applications. I have gone to View and checked manual and I still cannot arrange the photos within an albun manually.

In an album you simply drag the photos where you want them - that is one reason to use albums for organization rather than events

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

In iPhoto, how do you manually move the order of a photo within an album?

Within an Album? Drag and drop.
You can't do this in an Event.

Center images within a photo frame

I saw a friend's site where it used a pre-bought package. It
had nice photo frames and a sutle drop shadow.
The site I'm working on has a lot of photos and I would like
to set them off this way.
What I did was make the frame with a drop. Drop shadow isn't
looking good even though I did a .png Anyway, I made the frame the
background image-ok. Now I want to center the photo within the
frame. The photo info is in the page as the owner wants to change
it. Its a <img> tag. I tried doing a align center in the
<img> but that didn't do it.
Somehow that program did it. I believe it was done with CSS.
Anyone know?

Thats a complex piece of positioning using css. I'm pretty
sure youre
not going down that route as it would be beyond your
capabilities given
what you have said to date.
So I would forget that and show us the code you are using to
create YOUR
version of this. This effect can be achieved with a lot less
complexity
than the example you provide above.
Below is an example. You'd need to know something about css
to
understand it. Basically you would create a <div>
container and use a
background image for the drop shadow, then insert the main
image within
the container, style and position it with css.
At the moment in the example below the image appears to be
off-centre
but when the drop shadow background image is added it will be
centered
in the <div>

I would like to renumber photos within an event

I want to renumber a batch of photos within an event but havent been able to find the info

Or, if you already have the photo's in an album and you just want to change names / numbering etc....
In iPhoto go to your album/s click on it / them to highlight the album/s.
Then in top menu bar select 'photos' and from from the drop down menu select 'batch change' and follow instructions below ...
Click on the "Set" pull-down menu and change it to "Title," then click on the second pull-down menu and change it to "Text." A text field will appear that you can type in a base name for all the photos, such as "Zoo" for pictures taken at the zoo. Click on the check box that reads "Append a number to each photo."
Click "OK" and iPhoto will rename each photo with the new base name and add sequential numbers to them.

iPhoto: How can I sort photos within an event. I can't figure out how to activate the Manual Sort button.

Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album
