PSE8 Organizer: Can't stack photos in album view?

Why can't I manually create stacks when I am only looking at photos from a specific album?
For example, if I am showing all photos in the catalog, I am free to multi-select photos and do a right-click >Stack. The same is true if I have filtered the view down by tags, or by import batch. However, if I have selected an album from the Albums list, stacking is no longer an option. Photos that have already been stacked and exist in the album show as stacked, and I can even unstack them (if I right-click the stack, Stack > Unstack Photos is an option, as is Flatten Stack), but if I am not able to create stacks or add photos to stacks. Why is this?

Hi nick,
Checked on PSE10. It does allow stacking when in Album view. However it doesn't allow so in 8 and 9.
You might want to try 30day free trial of PSE10 as it is full of some great features

Can not delete photos or albums sync from computer to iphone 4s

I can not delete photos or albums that were sync from computer to iphone 4s. I tap edit but there is no delete icon. Help. This is my first iphone

You delete them the same way you put them there, the sync process.
Deselect the folder in itunes and sync.

How can I move photos in Albums into Cameral Roll?

I reinstalled Lion OS X but I forgot to back up photos.
Is there any way to save them in iPhoto or in my Macbook?

You can't move photos in Albums that were transferred from your computer into the Camera Roll.
Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync processa are optimized for viewing on the iPhone - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. This is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. Photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer and should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data.
There are some paid 3rd party utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos is lost.

Can I add photo stream albums to SkyDrive

Can I add photo stream albums to my SkyDrive albums?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos in the camera roll are those which (in most cases) are taken on the device, the photostream album contains photos which have been synced from photostream in the cloud, which can include photos from your camera roll as well as from other devices using photostream. Photostream photos can be lower resolution than the same photos in the camera roll.
Photos in photostream can be edited and saved to other albums.

Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
please help.

Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

Can't move photos into albums

Hi there,
ever since I upgraded to iPhoto '09 I can't seem to move photos into albums that I am editing.
When viewing the photos in "normal" list mode there is no problem to move them into an album. I grab the photo, drag it onto the album and a green plus sign appears indicating that it is possible to add the photo. When I drop it and check, the photo is indeed inside the album as it should.
When I double click the photo to go into edit mode I see the enlarged photo and a strip of photos running along the upper edge. This is just like in iPhoto '08. It used to be that I could grab photos in that strip and drag them to an album. When I do this now the green plus sign does appear just as before, which makes me think that I can indeed add it to the album. However, when I check the album the photo is not there.
Is this a bug? Is it some preference that I can set?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Can't remove photos from album? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

Can't remove photos from Aperture album unless I send them to Trash? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

There are only a few images that I want to delete, not entire albums. I want to avoid syncing the iPad with the new computer, but it's looking like that may be my only option...to delete all of the iTunes synced photos then start from scratch since I still have the original images on my backup drive. Maybe send them to myself in email/through dropbox and save that way so in the future I can delete at will.
I just want to avoid all of that, save myself some time, so I figured I'd do as much asking as possible first.

I can't delete photos in albums that has been sent from a pc

What is the procedure for deleting photos in albums on iPad that has been sent from another PC.

You need to remove them the same way you put them on the iPad.
That is by Unsyncing them in iTunes on the computer.
You can unselect the folder you wish to remove in ITunes on the computer, or sync an empty folder to remove them all.

I can't remove photos from albums in iPhoto 9.4? Any advice or tricks?

I can"t seem to be able to remove photos from albums in iphoto 9.4. Can not move to trash or remove from album, What's up? Any tricks or advice?

Make sure those are not smart albums you're trying to remove photos from. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

How can you refresh the Music Album view in the Touchsmart 3.0 software?

I have a load of albums stored on a network drive and was told to do the following to include a network share in the Touchsmart Music Library:-
mklink /d rmusic "\\server\music" Where \\server\music is the network share
All worked fine and my albums were shown in the Touchsmart Music Library
The problem I'm finding is, if a track in the album has some info missing, for example the Album Artist, the Touchsmart Music Library thinks its a seperate album and shows it as a seperate album in the album view.
I've gone in to the offending track on the album on my network share and have amended the info on it, using an mp3 tag editor. The problem I have is that I'm unable to refresh the Touchsmart Music Library to show the updates, as they are still showing as seperate albums, even though they are th same. Help!! (I hope this makes sence)

you might want to try twonky media server running on your \\server, i think you have various album options you can play with so that hopefully your touchsmart library will conform to it.

I can't stack photos (previously in version sets) imported via "Upgrade PSE Catalog". Why not?

I am currently using LR 3.6 on a Windows 7 OS/ HP laptop. Previously, I organized my photos using PSE 9 Organizer. When I switched to LR 3, I selected the option to upgrade my PSE Catalog to bring my photos into LR. LR imported all the photos and keywords/ratings but not my version sets or smart albums. I understand LR doesn't have version sets so I was willing to manually restack my photos but now LR is not giving me that option. Any pictures that were previously in a PSE version set are showing as unstackable (all the stack options are grayed out) even if they are located in the same folder on my hard drive. I'm having trouble finding anything on the web that addresses this issue. Any help/direction would be much appreciated as my catalog is rather cumbersome at the moment.
Thank you,
Sierra

If dj_paige's suggestions don't help, check to make sure that Lightroom thinks both photos are in the same folder. When I converted from PSE 8, I had some photos in version sets in the same actual folder that LR thought were in different folders whose name differed only by case (e.g. "MyFolder" and "myfolder"). Thus, LR refused to stack the photos upon catalog conversion.
You can check this by selecting each of the suspsect photos in turn, right-clicking, and selecting Go To Folder In Library.

PSE12 Organizer - can you copy photo from one folder to another and import copy into Organizer and still have original in other folder

I have been using folders to organize all my pictures and I will copy photos from folder to folder, often having them in 2 or 3 folders based on use. I tried to copy a photo in Organizer PSE12 from one folder to another and you can only move it, that means I can only have one copy of the photo. That is fine if I am using tags and want to search for it, but I want to have mult copies in mult folders. Organizer will recognize that it is there but it won't import it into the new folder. Until I move it, it stays in the original folder. I can drag it out of Organizer and drop (copy) it into a new folder fine, but it won't show in organizer in the new folder. Is there any way to copy and have multiple copies show up in multiple folders?

Hi,
The organizer works on the principle of not having multiple copies of the same photo.
If you have multiple copies spread in different folders, then making changes to one doesn't affect the others. The use of tags and albums are there to give different views of your photos.
You can't have multiple copies with exactly the same name even if they are in different folders. You could select a photo and duplicate it (File -> Duplicate) and then move the copy into a different folder but the name will be different.
If you want different folders for a specific reason, it is possible to use albums to collect the group of photos and then export them to a new folder outside of the organizer. You can also rename on export which is useful if you want to arrange the photos in a specific order.
Hope that helps a bit.
Brian

Elements 10 organizer reordering photos in album view

In elements organizer you can drag and drop a photo in an album to change its position when the display is in ablum oder. This is very slow if you have a lot of pictures. Is there any other way to change the order that is quicker? Can you use the numbers that ogranizer assigns to each photo to tell it where to put the selected photo?

No.
But alphabetical file name order is an option if you select Date (Newest First)

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 into albums on my iPad and then export them to my iMac?

I want to import photos from my camera card into my iPad, sort them into various albums then export the albums to my iMac. I have 12 albums in Photos with around 300 photos on my iPad, but when I connect it to my iMac iPhoto tries to import all of the 1800 photos without the album structure. How do I transfer the albums and the 300 photos in them to my iMac?

Yes, but the recipient may not be getting the full image file that was used to make the Shared Photo Stream. You would have to run a test to see if there's any reduction in the image and file size. The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What resolution are the photos in shared photo streams?
Shared Photo Streams deliver photos in a device-optimized resolution that speeds upload and downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.
