Rating multiple images, what gives?

hey,
I'm missing something obvious?
I want to rate multiple images at once. I drag the mouse over say 4-5 images, then assign them a higher rating.
Problem is, it only applies the rating to the first file.
This is so simple it has me stumped.
Any ideas?
cheers

You have "Primary Only" turned on, which means your actions are applying only to the primary selection, rather than to all selected images.
In the Edit menu, select the Primary Only command to toggle it off. (You can just press S to toggle this on and off.)

Rating multiple images?

Hi,
How can I select all the images in a project and give them all a three star rating? I would them like to go through them individually increasing/decreasing the rating. In the past I have done this but I just cannot seem to do it now. (Aperture latest version 2.1.3).
I try to select all my images in a project (manual page 153), then as described on page 237 try to set 3 stars. Only one of the images is then updated. It seems one of the images is always the 'primary selection'. I just cant figure out how to apply the change to all the selected images.
Thank for any help, I'm sure it must be a very simple solution!
Mike

Thanks for the reply. This is exactly what I was trying to do but it was only changing the metadata for one of the images. I have now solved my problem. In the viewer pane there is a button with a square and a 1 in it. This apparently selects/deselects the 'Primary Only' option. It was selected and after deselecting it the selecting all images and applying a rating to them all works as expected and as you described.
I searched the online manual for 'Primary Only' and found no mention. In fact I just found it is described in the 'Late breaking news' supplement on page 8:
"When selected, the Primary Only button in the tool strip gives you the option of
applying changes to the primary image in a group of selected images, leaving the rest
of the selected images unchanged. Aperture is preset to have the Primary Only feature
turned off, which applies your changes to all the images in a selection. If you discover
that a change was applied to only one image when you expected it to change multiple
selected images, check to see whether the Primary Only button is selected. You can
also turn Primary Only on or off by choosing Edit > Primary Only."

After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Problem Rating / Deleting Multiple Images

I have a Problem Rating / Deleting Multiple Images at the same time. For the last 2 weeks I have been unable to select a group of images and rate them all - I have to select images indiviually for the rating to work. This also is the case when trying to delete images.
Anyone know if this is a bug?

Hit 'S' which toggles 'Primary Only' mode - this swaps between applying ratings,deletions to multiple images or just the one with the thicker selection border.

Rating 1 image when multiple images selected in Viewer

In the Viewer is there a way to rate only 1 of multiple images selected.
One usually views multiple variations or versions in the Viewer to be able to make a choice of which particular one to keep. However when you try and rate one of those all selected images take on the same rating/label etc.
Is there a way to rate only one image?
Cheers

It is, thanks very much for prompt response.

That is our most common error.. ever since Mountain Lion came along with its inability to remember beyond a few hours. where the devices are located.. and so forgets to dismount properly.
Look at the right hand.. More Like This.
A simple restart fixes it. ie pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug the power cord back into the TC.

How do I stop iWeb outputting multiple image files? It makes my site slow!

I'm a professional web designer (but don't let that put you off) who uses Dreamweaver and also handcodes HTML & CSS websites at work on a PC, but having got a new Mac for home use I thought I'd give iWeb a go for a personal site hosted on .Mac, showcasing my music and film efforts, that I didn't want to have to think about coding.
I've built a short little site using the attractive 'Travel' theme, just 5 or 6 pages so far, and have not yet added any multimedia content. However, it seemed to take ages to upload it when I published it to .Mac. So then I went to view it, and it was soooo sloooow to download each page, even on my 4mb cable connection. I know it's a fairly graphically-rich theme, but still!
I noticed that it was redrawing the navigation menu each time... and upon close inspection of the HTML code using Safari's 'View Source' to my horror I found out that that each page has a seperate '_files' folder that contains multiple versions of files that are also used in other pages - including navigation buttons and background images. I also saw that every element has styling applied to it 'inline' in the code, rather than in a single seperate style-sheet.
To confirm this I published it to a folder on my hard drive and checked it all out. What a mess!
As a WYSIWYG web page editor iWeb is great but it's an undisputable fact that the HTML markup and CSS code it produces is absolutely appaling. What's worse though is that it also renders whole swaithes of text as images and that it does create seperate folders for each pages content including images, CSS code and navigation buttons - so even though the same images and code are used throughout the site for the background and buttons and layout, they are written out as seperate files and have to be reloaded with every page!!!
This means that the .Mac server must be getting hammered and webpages are very slow to download and slow to render in Safari - it's almost like dialup when I'm viewing my iWebsite, and like I said, I've got a 4mb cable connection!
Looking at the code iWeb produces, it is good to see that tables are not used for layout, and that's one thing in its favour. But surely the whole point of providing 'themed' templates for users is that the same content is used across the site and therefore doesn't need to be created multiple times - one of the benefits of using CSS stylesheets. Why doesn't iWeb create a single stylesheet and make efficient use of repeated images instead of creating multiple instances of the same file for each page?
Perhaps there is a setting somewhere I've missed. If so, let me know someone!
It is a great WYSIWYG editor, but behind the scenes it's not efficient, it's not clean and simple and it's certainly not attractive - and I'm surprised at that coming from Apple! I know iWeb is a great tool for beginners and I'm a picky professional, but if I was Joe Public First Time Web Designer I'd be very annoyed by this.
Clean it up and sort it out Mr Jobs!
PS: Also, where does iWeb store the website whilst it's in production? I can't find it anywhere?

Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!
Download iWebBackup Here
You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.

How do I add multiple images into one file?

I'm sure this is something that's been covered in another post (or even in the help portal) but I think my wording in my search terms are not correct or... I don't know, because I just can't find what I'm looking for.
I want to know how to add multiple images into one file/one image, both horizontally and/or vertically. To give you an idea of what I mean, check out :
http://www.best10apps.com/apps/comic-story,531596060.html
If you scroll down, you'll see a heading entitled : Screenshots of Comic Story. Notice how there's 3 pictures (divided by borders). 2 of those pictures are side by side, and 1 of them is below the first 2 pictures.
I want to know how to add different pictures/images and put them into one picture.

One way is to create template PSD files and populate them with your images using Photoshops scripts.
Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED June 12, added Picture Package Support via PasteImageRoll and BatchPicturePackage scripts.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
There are eleven scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

Multiple Image Uploading Question

Please forgive my ignorance here but I saw the question on multiple image uploading and this is something i have been trying to do for a few days now without any success.
I am using CS3 with ADDT and PHP
I want to allow my users to be able to upload say 5 pictures at a time, each user has multiple photo albums the names of which are stored in mysql table, the image name is stored in a different table with a reference to the album id.
So, I assume that i put an insert record on the page, I followed the usual process used to have a single image upload and thought it would give me or add the extra file field options on the form when telling the multi upload to allow 5 images to be uploaded, not the case. Do i have to create a form on the page first with 5 file fields or am i just missing the plot here.
Sorry if this is just something that seems simple but i just don't seem to be able to get it to work at all. I have no working example to look over and have serach google to see if there are any tutorials for doing this but can't find any at all.
Thank you in advance of any help and guidance given
Regards
Ray

Hi Günter
Thank you for your reply and also for the great tutorial site you run which has helped me quite a lot with several things.
ok, so i am maybe a little confused here, so what is the multiple image uploader for if not for uploading multiple images, and how does it give you the option to select more than one file or is it that you can't use it when inserting the image file into a database?
Please forgive my ignornace again, i can see when i have tried using the multiple image upload thatit puts a text link called upload, what is that for because it doesn't seem to do anything on the page i have tried it on?
Kind Regards
Ray

How to Watermark multiple images with different dimensions in Photoshop ?

Is there any way that I can place a watermark on the right bottom of multiple images, no matter what dimension the images are? I have tried using Photoshop Scripts > image processor, but it works only for images of same dimension. I want to put watermark on multiple images of different dimensions. This is the output i got.
For the first image the watermark got placed correctly, but for the second image watermark got distracted. As you can clearly see the dimensions are different. Please suggest me some solution.

Open an image to watermark. We must have this open before we start recording an action or else it will keep opening this image and watermarking it over and over again.
In Photoshop go to Windows >> Actions
At the bottom of the Actions Palette you will see a little folder icon, click on it and create a new folder to hold you action in.
Once you have a folder to hold your action we need to hit the Create New Action button (next to the new folder Icon we just used.)
Give our new action a name and set a function key (if required.)
If the record button is not already depressed which it should be by default, hit it now to start recording our action. (located near the folder icon again but this time to the left)
Now that our action is recording go to File >> Place
When the dialog box comes up navigate to your previously created watermark file.
Hit the Place button
Position the watermark as you would normally have it (default is dead center) and hit enter.
Go to File >> Save as,navigate to where you want your watermarked images to finish up and hit save. DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE NAME if you do when you play the batch it will name all the files it saves the same over-writing each other.
Close the image we just watermarked.
when a save dialog comes up do not save the image.
On the Actions Palette hit stop recording.
Our Action is now recorded.
To process an entire folder of images we go to File >> Automate >> Batch
Select the folder in which your images are currently
Select the folder you wish to save the watermarked copies too.
Hit OK
Photoshop is now watermarking all the Images in the selected folder for you.

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.
Best Regards

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,
even if it outside adobe, shall add greater prestige to your company
and give impression of user-centeredness.

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

Selecting Multiple Images to Copy - Fragmented Image

Hello!
I made a pdf out of a powerpoint presentation on a friend's windows computer. I am now trying to extract an image that I lost while editing on my computer. The problem I have run into is that the image was fragmented into multiple pieces in the PDF (1 image is now 3 parts). I cannot seem to select all of the images and do "copy images" as you can with one part.
I can select all the pieces with the touchup object tool and edit them in illustrator and then manipulate them but this is very much the long way around.
Since I have to do this with many graphics, I am trying not to take the long route. Is there a way to select multiple images and copy them? Or is there a way to select everything with the touchup object tool and just copy it to the clipboard?
Any thoughts?
-Mike

I am also running into this issue. I happens in PDFs coming from all programs that our clients use to produce the PDFs. InDesign, Publisher, Word, WordPerfect.
My question is: back in CS3 days, I could select all the images (one image that broke into any number of horizontal sections) with the TouchUp tool and select>edit objects...They would all open as one image in photoshop, I could do my edits, save and then replace what I had on the PDF with the new saved file (jpg or pdf or tiff).
We upgraded to CS5 and now I can't do that anymore. I go into my PDF, select all parts of the image and then edit, but only the first part I selected is editable. I would like to say that it's a CS5 issue, but we had one machine, back when we all had CS3, that would do the same (not edit all the parts as one). I'm thinking it's some sort of preference or combination of preferences in both Acrobat and Photoshop, but I can't figure it out.
I know one runaround is the "Snapshot Tool," but it was much better before when we could edit what we needed and that's it.
Thank you for your attention,
Leonardo Pedreros
P.S.: Please don't judge me about Illustrator VS. Photoshop...they REFUSE to give us Illustrator at work, for some reason ($$$). If only they knew the amount of time and file size that Illustrator saves, they'd invest in 5 measly licenses.

Is there any way to adjust multiple images?

i don't see any saves settings options and selecting multiple items while making adjustments does nothing. can you really not apply edits concurrently?

It sounds like you have Primary Only selected at the bottom on the Control Bar in Layout Rating & Keywords mode. Deselect Primary Only. You can tell that (keyboard shortcut S) Primary Only is selected with it is darker than the other buttons. It should NOT be dark if you are Stamping multiple images.

Load multiple images from directory?

What is the best way to use CF to load multiple images from a
server directory please? I have CF calling a stored procedure that
returns an array of file names. I am using a Flex front end, and
wonder if I should just pass the file name array to Flex and let it
loop through and load each image into an array. Or is it possible
from within my CFC to use the file name array to get CF to grab the
images and then pass that image array back to Flex? If so, is there
any advantage to either approach? TIA,
Mic.

You don't want to pass the binaries to Flex, you should just
give Flex the image names and load them via HTTP.

Rating multiple images, what gives?
