Placing photos into ID CS5

I upgraded to Lion  and I'm using ID CS5 version 7.0.4. I don't know if my problem is with ID or with the Apple Media Browser. I just know that I can't place additional photos into my ID document after I place the first one. The only way I can place another is to quit ID and restart it. They I can place another photo from Aperture. But again, if I want to place more than one after opening ID, then I'd have to quit ID and restart it.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and what I can do about it and whether it's an issue with Adobe ID or Apple Media Browser?
Thanks.

Thank you, John for you comments and willingness to help. My photos in Aperture are managed by Aperture. That means they are stored in my Aperture library file and not in a finder folder.
After placing the first photo into ID (and that works) if I go back to place a second photo, the "Open" button never becomes active. That's probably why double-clicking the selection just causes it to get bigger and bring it to the front of all the other photos. I never noticed this before that the "Open" button was grayed out when I couldn't place the photo. The fact that it works the first time after opening ID and then doesn't, causes me to wonder if there's some incompatibility between ID CS5 and Mac OS Lion.
If I export from Aperture to the Desktop I can use the "Place" command over and over again to pick up the files that are there.
The problem with putting the files on the desktop, placing them from there, and then choosing "relink" is that I can't relink it if the file is gone. I get the same problem as described above with the open button never becoming active.  And trying to discover through the finder where that photo is stored in the "belly" of the Aperture library file is almost impossible.
I know that I could export the files to the desktop, place them, and then "embed" them into the ID file I'm working with, but that's just a lot of extra steps that shouldn't be necessary.
Hopefully this gives a better understanding.
Thanks.

  • Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

    Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
    I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
    I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
    I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
    Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

  • Placing photo into a resume template

    Hi, been at this for a couple of hours, learning plenty about everything other than what I really want to do:
    How do I place a photo into a Pages template? I am using one of the resume templates, have my completed resume and it looks great. Only the photo challenge is stuffing me up.
    Cheers, S.

    Hello ShakuZen,
    there are three ways to place an image or other media into a Pages document.
    1) If it is one of Pages own templates and you want to exchange an image, just drag and drop your image from the Finder window over the image in the template, because all images in Pages own templates are placeholders and they are defined for this task.
    2) You can drag and drop images out of some apps like Safari, iPhoto and of course from Finder windows and others into a Pages document.
    3) You can use the menu item "Insert/Choose..." to import images or PDFs etc.
    But there is one thing you have to know: if the text cursor is visible somewhere on the page and you are using the "Choose..." function, the image is automatically placed at the cursor position and it is an inline object. So make sure the text cursor is not visible (by clicking outside of all text areas near the page border), if you want a fix positioned image. Of course you can change the positioning mode every time with the wrap inspector.

  • RAW photo into Photshop CS5 as a Smart Object.

    I am trying to open a RAW photo in Photohsop CS5 as a Smart Object.  I have the photo selected in Bridge.  When I go to execute File>Place in Bridge CS5 the menu entry indicates there should be a menu displayed.  However, clicking on Place does not bring up a menu. 
    In Photoshop there is open a blank file to receive the photo. 
    Why do I not receive a menu?

    Are you not seeing all the buttons?
    Normally I have ACR set to "Open Image" in Photoshop. By temporarily holding down the SHIFT key the "Open Image" button will change to "Open Object"
    This is what I did while creating this screenshot. There is also the tool tip showing up in the screenshot.

  • Placing photos into templates

    Hi
    Trying to move my photos into the newsletter template, where the photo boxes are provided. However they seem to be too small for the photos. The end result being that alot of the photo gets cut off. I have tried resizing down to 800x600, cropping etc but there seems to be no change.
    I use lightroom 5 and cant access this from the 'media button in the programme so I am dragging them from finder into the document...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    When you have added the photo to the page holder you can select the photo and drag the handle to change the photos size, OR select the placeholder and drag a handle to make it larger so the photo fits easier.

  • Turning a series of still photos into an animation in CS5?

    I have taken a number of photos of a sporting event using the sport/burst mode on my DSLR. I would like to turn some of the 5-10 shot series of photos into animation(s). I have CS5 but not AfterEffects, etc.
    I'm really hoping there is a straight-forward method of doing this. All I use PS for is photo manipulation. Heresy, I know.
    Any advice?

    I believe in CS5 the video animations was part of the extended version. The standard version did not support animations. It may have been able to do a few things with gif files, but I don't recall.

  • After sorting photos into albums, the albums disappeared on me. I dragged and dropped the photos and went back to check that they were in place before exiting the program. When I went back, the folder was there but no albums. Help!

    Working on an IMac - with IPhoto v.9.6 
    This is my first experience with IPhoto... trying to move files from a PC over to a Mac.
    I don't have a ton of photos but I created about 6 albums - standard albums - and dragged and dropped individual photos into each of the albums. I named each of the albums as well so I would know what was in each. After i was finished, I created a folder called 2014 and moved each of the albums into that folder. Before moving ANY of the albums, I opened each of them up to make sure that all the photos I wanted in each were indeed there - and since there were some errors on my part, I deleted any duplicates first. SO, I KNOW the photos were actually in each of the albums BEFORE i moved them into the 2014 folder.
    My intention was to then delete the photo files in my document file but once I got there I thought I would go back and double check the IPhoto file just to make sure... and the pictures were NOT in the albums where I had placed them... is there a need to save this before you move on and if so, to where and how? I was under the impression that once files were moved to albums, they remain there.
    The photos are still in the photo library but unsorted now again... I cannot even open the 2014 folder at this point.
    Thanks for any help!!

    Was back on IPhoto this morning. The folder did not open at all so I deleted it. Beside Albums, nothing showed at all. It was like I had done no work at all except to import my photo folder. Nothing was in my trash bin either.
    I started again and created one album at a time. I dragged and dropped photos into the album and exited out of IPhoto, opened up other programs and then returned to IPhoto to see if the album was still there and it was this time. I created a second album and did the same thing. This time, for some reason, the albums seem to be staying in place. I am not doing anything differently than last time. After creating three albums, I created a folder called 2014 and dragged and dropped the three albums into the folder and exited IPhoto. They were still there when I returned - YEAH! It seems to be working - for now! I am keeping my fingers crossed that my photos are not going to disappear but I am not going to delete my photo folder from my files just in case!
    Thanks for the suggestions but this may just have been a funny glitch... not sure what happened. I didn't change anything or do anything differently this time except that I am doing it one album at a time and exiting the program between creating each of them and coming back to check... very strange.

  • I can't edit my photos in Photoshop CS5.

    I'm not able to edit my photos from iPhoto in Photoshop CS5. I've already tried the Preferences and chosen Photoshop as my editing program. I can't even drag and drop the photos into Photoshop.  I've even tried to email them to myself. No luck. All I can do is LOOK AT them in iPhoto! Help, I'm on a deadline!

    Are you able to open and edit a photo outside of iPhoto with CS5?  When you selected CS5 as the editor in iPhoto's preferences did you select the folder that holds CS5
    or did you select the application:
    Some have made the mistake of selecting the folder.  Be sure you haven't. 
    The following are tips on using Photoshop from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop CS3 (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
            (the PS screenshots are from CS3)
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    s  I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
    Click to view full size
    This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How to Best Import QuarkXpress 8.0 Files into InDesign CS5

    Folks,
    Searched the forum, but I'm only finding info on older versions of Quark and InDesign.
    I've got a ton of end user documents in QuarkXpress 8.0 that I need to import into InDesign CS5.  (These are installation and operation manuals for data and telephony modems with lots of illustrations and diagrams in them.)  I just downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS5 and could use some help.
    The import procedure (for the older software) looked to be quite cumbersome.  I'm hoping that InDesign CS5 is more capable and efficient at importing QuarkXpress files.  I also read about Q2ID by Markzware.  Does that product work with InDesign CS5, or is it even necessary with InDesign CS5?
    Any advice and guidance will be appreciated.  Got to get started soon!
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Joel,
    Thanks for your comments.  I've done enough conversions in the past 25+ years as a tech writer to know that I will be faced with some clean-up efforts after the import.
    My Quark template is pretty simple... one big text box on the right-hand side of each page (landscape), leaving the left-hand side of each page for my illustrations and graphics to be placed.
    I think my biggest conversion problem is going to involve these graphics.  Many of them have text callouts (in text boxes) with arrows (made with Quark graphics) pointing to the proper spot on the illustration or graphic.  I'm wondering how well those will all convert and import.  I do have them all grouped in Quark.  By that I mean that one graphic and all of its associated text callouts and arrows are grouped.
    I guess I'll find out!

  • Problem dragging some photos into book.. they don't show at all.

    I have a problem dragging some photos into a book. I've never had this issue before. I can tell that "something" has moved because it often has a ! for resolution issues and the photo has the white check that signifies it has been used....but the photo doesn't show at all.
    The photos were made into sepia prints.
    Help! Any suggestions about what could be wrong?
    Thanks for any advice.

    The ! indicates that iPhoto has broken/lost the file path to the original file. Make a backup copy of the library and run the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    Fix #2
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    Fix #3
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • Cant Attach Iphoto Photos into Email?

    I always was able to simply attach iphoto photos into an email when I wanted to send a photo to somebody.  Id just click Attach..Then my photos would show up..Id choose one and be done.
    However, I just opened IPhoto and it said I needed to update something in order to see my photos.
    As soon as I did that, I am no longer to see  my photos when I try to attach one to an email.  I select Attack but then I just see "Iphoto" but it doesnt open up to show my events, folders and individual folders.
    Does anyone know why or do I have to change some kind of setting?
    At first it said to open iphoto but I did that and it still is not showing my photos.
    I am using LION OS

    Make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
