PSE6 - HOw to collect photos together in one folder

I have managed to get photos scattered across several folders, some on my laptop and some on an external hard drive.
I have managed to get them all into one catalogue, but what is the best way to physically move them all into one folder so it canbe backed up?
I already tried to use the file/move command, thinkiing i could move all the photos to a single folder that way, but for some reason it stopped half way through and now many photos are disconnected.
any help appreciated!

>But i want to get the photos in one place so I dont have to cart the external drive around. Is the only way to do this to back up the catalogue and then restore it to a new folder on the laptop?
I don't think that there is a single best answer to your question so I recommend that you wait until several people have responded to this question.
1 -- I think that I would want to know more about the previous failure:
Can you identify any specific characteristics of the photo file where it stopped half way on your previous attempt?
Have you attempted to do the Reconnects for the Missing Files?
Do the files that show as Missing actually exist on a hard drive? If yes, are they on the laptop drive or the external drive?
2 -- I would be tempted to do the actual moving of the files using Windows Explorer. However, I would then know that I had potentially many photo files to Reconnect using the PSE Organizer.
3 -- When you have Disconnected Files, those files do not get Backed Up using the PSE Backup command. And since I think that at least some of the files that you show now as Disconnected are files that need to be moved, I rejected the Backup command possibility.
Why? Even though the normal recommendation is against moving with Windows Explorer, both the Bug when dup name occurs and the still unknown reason for your prior failure when attempting the Organizer Move command would make me stay away from using the PSE commands on the photo files. Therefore my consideration of the option 2 to move with Windows Explorer.

  • I have Photoshop CS 6 on my computer.  I want to bring a series of photos together into one image wi

    I have Photoshop CS 6 on my Mac computer.  I want to bring a series of photos together into one image without any space between images, does anyone know how to this?  Ideally I would like to this manually.  
    The reason I ask in my ealier verion of Photoshop, CS3, there was a manual alignment  feature when using 'Photo Merge' feature, undr which you could manual alignment photographs if you wanted to, and I do in this instance.  This feature was removed in subsequent versions of Photoshop CS 4,5, and 6. 

    Sean, Batch resize them all to the samne size, load as layers, increase Canvas size, and the layers will 'snap' together with the Move tool.  You'll be able to use the alignment tools in the Options bar when the Move tool is selected.  You will also be able to use the 'Auto select layer' feature in the Options bar to make it easier grabing the right layer.
    Otherwise, get hold of Contact Sheet 2. Still resize all the images to the same size, and set the gap to zero, and turn titles off.  Please note this is from memory, and it is years sonce I last used Contact Sheet.

  • How do I move pictures from one folder to another folder?

    How are photos moved from one folder to another?  Second question:  How can a folder be renamed?

    In PSE11 Organizer, your managed folders(folders from which you have imported your media) are shown in your left panel under "My Folders". There is a small icon next to this label 'My folders" which on mouse hover says: "Show folder hierarchy". Click on this one to see the folder tree. Now expand teh tree to a folder from where you want to move files from. Also expand the folder tree such that your destinatio folder is also visible. Just click on source folder so that you see the media to be moved. Select and drag them to the destination folder icon.
    Also if you want to move your media to an unmanged folder(which does not have any media imported into EO yet), you need to right click teh parent folder and select "show all sub folders" to view that folder. And then you can move your media in the same way.
    Hope that helps!

    How do I bundle files into one folder on my mac OS X version 10.6.8? I don't have an icon for Launchpad on my desktop.

    Put the files you want on the first page into the folder, and then use subfolders for the subsequent pages. If the process you saw involved Launchpad on a newer OS, it can’t be done on 10.6.8.

  • How can I keep every single photo from saving to "collections""my photo stream""camera role" and just use one folder? And why do I have to delete the same pictures 4 times? In "collections""myphotostream"camera role""deleted photos" I need ONE FOLDER

    im sick of deleting the same picture 4 separate times, I want to limit everything to one folder and only have to delete one time, how? Why does this have to be so complicated

    Photos you take on your camera are in the Camera Roll and are like the film in a camera.
    Photo Stream is an independent stream of photos from all devices that are logged onto the same iCloud account and that have Photo Stream turned on. Photo Stream photos are kept in the cloud for 30 days or up to 1000 photos, whichever comes first, so unless you have a particular photo you just don't want to stay out there for 30 days, you don't really need to delete Photo Stream Photos. They are temporary. Your device will continue to keep your Photo Stream photos from prior to the 30 day limit, but if you switch Photo Stream off in iCloud and then right back on, the only photos that will re-display in Photo Stream on that device are the ones that remain within the 30 Day/1000 photo parameter.
    Collections is simply a single place which shows all of the photos that you have on your device. You do not need to delete photos from Collections. It is just a single place where you can see the contents of all of your albums.
    Photos in albums that you have created on the device itself are tied to the photos in your Camera Roll, so if you delete them from the Camera Roll, it will tell you that it will also be deleted from an album.
    Albums that you have sync'd from your computer should be removed the same way you got them there - by hooking the device up to a the computer you did the sync with, and un-selecting the album from the Photo profile screen.
    So, really, there are only two places that you need to delete photos - Camera Roll and Photo Stream.

  • How to nestle 20+ pages into one "folder" in the vertical left-hand index c

    This question regards the vertical index column on the left hand side of the workspace in an open iWeb program.
    I have a bunch of regular pages (about 20 and growing) that I will link to another single page. That single page will have a bunch of pictures and each picture will be hyperlinked.
    This means that my vertical left hand index will become very very long unless I can get them all into/nestled into one “folder”. Is that possible when dealing with just regular web pages and not photo albums or movie albums?
    I tried at first to use a blog, but the blog puts pages in chronological order, and this project does not require link clicking to be chronological or sequential. People can click wherever they want to click and arrive at a page. Then they can click “Back to the Original Page with all the links and pictures.”
    This is a light-hearted endeavor, not a serious documentary type thing.
    So back to my question: Is it possible for me to nestle all those 20+ pages under that one original map/photo page with all of the photos hyperlinked? Or am I stuck with a long Index now? Or is there some other way I can deal with the one map/photo page and the other pages that the first page links to? I am going to put links on the other pages too, so that people can click where they want and see new/different things at different times.
    Thank you for any help you can share with me......

    If I understand you correctly the answer is no. You want to be able to shorten the list of pages in the left hand pane of iWeb. The only way to next them would be to create a new site and drag some of the files to that site. But that would make them separate from the others. Unless you're willing to do something like that and then on the map photo page link each photo to one of the pages in the other site and manually add a link on those pages back to the map/photo page. A little more work I think than scrolling down to find a page you need to work on.
    I have a web site with about 40 pages. However, each page is a separate site and I use a frame file to link them all together. That's possible. If you were to try that you'd had to make each page a site in iWeb and then follow the workflow in the description below to separate them into individual domain files.
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
    Again, it may be easier to just scroll.

  • How do I use more than one folder for screensaver on my mac

    I have 3 separate folders that I want my computer to use when it switches to the screensavers but I can only get it to use one folder. I really want it to switch choose from the 3 different folders. Someone set it up for me before so I know it does it, I just can't figure out how. Thanks!

    The presets from earlier versions of GR should all be in the same place anyhow.. so reinstalling GR5 into it's correct locvation shouldn't affect anything regarding those other presets. In fact, as far as I can recall.. GR5 should ask if you want to import older presets when you first run GR5 standalone (The app version of GR5 in your applications folder) after install....
    Then those same presets should be present in in the AU version of GR5....
    Also GR4 (So long as you updated it to the latest version via the Service Center) should also continue to work with Logic Pro anyhow.. and load when you load an older project which used that version....
    Finally, any version you may have installed elsewhere.. won't work with Logic Pro because LP uses the AU Component version that is installed by the NI installer and therefore located in your components folder...  Those other versions are more likely to be copies of the standalone version.. which LP9 doesn't use.

  • In "FINDER" how to cluster Folders together within a folder

    Within a Folder I have other folders and would like to see them all together at the top.
    I have a lot of other unfoldered docs within this main folder.
    I was a seeing all my subfolders clustered together at the top.
    But then I clicked 'Name' at the columns very top and of course now everything is in A-Z, or Z-A, order and now all my subfolders are also A-Z and so scattered throughout the list and mixed in with my unfoldered docs.
    I wouldst like to see them folders all at the top again.
    I could do it wonce before, why not now.
    yunowudamean?
    A gracious Helpful Solver designation awaits your solution.

    Unfortunately for folks like you who want this sort of thing, there's no way to do that. You can arrange by kind (View -> Arrange By -> Kind), which at least groups all the folders together, but generally somewhere in the middle, with different types of files similarly clustered above and below. You could also sort by label, but that would get to be a pain. (Note that anything without a label sorts to the top.) Nothing like the way Windows sorts folders to the top. (Personally, I hate that view in Windows, but that's just me...)
    Edit: one other possibility, which I actually do use in one folder... put a space at the beginning of the folder names to make them sort to the top.

  • How to upload photos from the modified folder?

    I'm modifying my photos in photoshop CS3(which now is no more an option to open my photos for editing from Iphoto, why?).
    Once modified, they live in the modified folder in a folder I created, they are not visible in the menu located in the left side of IPhoto viewer.
    So how am I uploading this photos on my .mac website.
    Please advice, thank you
    Caril

    Caril:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    I'm modifying my photos in photoshop CS3(which now is no more an option to open my photos for editing from Iphoto, why?).
    That's because you're probably saving the edits incorrectly.
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    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 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..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS 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 main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    So to recover those edited photos from the Modified folder you'll need to open the library package like shown here. Then very carefully locate those files and copy them to the desktop. The reason I said copy is to make sure you don't accidently move the wrong file to the desktop and thus damage the library. If you're absolutely sure you have the correct edited file then you can move it to the desktop instead of copy. But do so at your own risk.
    Happy New Year
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to mass moving iviews from one folder hierachy to another within PCD?

    Hi,SDN fellows.
    I found that it is really not user-friendly to move iviews from one folder to another within PCD>
    I tried to use Multiple Property Replacement to move some iviews in one folder to different folder hierachy in PCD, but I don't really know how to do so.
    Do you mass moving iviews in PCD before? How do you able to do it more efficiently.
    Thanks for help.

    Kyle, the PCD Inspector seems able to faster my process a lot.
    What if I want to mass edit some properties. (I thought Multiple Property Replacement would able to do some, but it couldn't)
    Said I need to change the Id of a set of iviews:
    my_iview_a
    my_iview_b
    my_iview_c
    my_iview_d
    to
    iview_a
    iview_b
    iview_c
    iview_d
    but the MPR doesn't able to use the asterisk (*) operation.
    Thanks.

  • Should I keep all my photo's in one folder altogether using keywords

    Lot's of folders or just the one?
    Keywords doesn't work across the board if you use lot's of folders so I have been putting all into one folder tell me this is not wrong or do I have to separate all again.....Ahhhh

    I'd say it depends. You will get faster performance when accessing music and images from your flash drive. You could move your images and music to the flash drive for now. In the future if you are getting short of space there you could move them out to your Thunderbolt drive later.
    I've not had the privilege of running a configuration like yours but would be surprised if you had any issues with performance even with some of your files on the Thunderbolt drive so it may not matter too much either way.

  • How to photomerge photos together

    I have the program Photoshop Elements 6 (for Mac). I took a few photos and would like to put them together (to make one), and I understand I could do that through Photomerge/Panorama. Could someone please tell me how do I do that?

    I too am using Elements 6 for Mac, and when I click File>New>Photomerge panorama, I get the message "Error 48 - file or folder does not exist." All 3 of my photos are in the project bin. Where am I going wrong?
