Relocating (moving) pictures in an Organizer Album using PSE 6.0

I am using  PSE 6.0. I have my pictures in the Organizer as an album. The pictures are currently in Date (oldest first) order and that is the order I generally want. However I want to move some pictures before others, for example, PIC 10 (dated Jan. 23, 2010) to be in front of PIC 5 (dated Jan. 17, 2010)? Also I want to duplicate a picture and move its copy to another place in the album. Is there a way to move pictures around in the order you wish once that have been brought into PSE from your hard drive? Thanks for any help.

You must first choose the album from the panel on the right. The thumbnails contained in that album can then be dragged around and form the new running order. Change from newest/oldest to Album Order (the third choice only becomes available within the album; not the overall catalog which has just the two sort options).

  • How significant is the yellow hazard warning for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

    How significant is the yellow hazard warning message for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

    Are you talking about making a Book?
    How siginificant depends on how low resolution the photo is and how sensative you are to poor prints - it displays when a -photo will print below 180 dpi - what is the DPI of the photos that is givingyou the warning (the photo size divided byt the pixel size)

  • Moving pictures from one folder/album to another

    I have recently updated to Yosemite and that updated to Photos.  I would like to move photos from one folder to another.  In iPhoto, my folders were in a left hand menu and I could drag photos to a new folder.  How do I do this in Photos?

    I figured it out.  If you click on view, you have the option to show the sidebar.

  • Preview pictures resolution breaks down while using PSE 13 photomerge for focus stacking

    Hello,
    I'm new to this forum as well to Photoshop elements but I hope, someone can help me with the problem I encountered ;-)
    For the technical background I've got PSE 13 installed on a Win 8.1 Laptop (Core I5, 8 GB RAM). Camera is a Canon EOS 60D with 18 MP.
    I like to do macro photography and I wanted to use PSE13 for focus stacking to get a picture with higher dept of field.
    Therefore, I used eight diffrently focused macro photos from a daisy blossom in raw format after processing them with the camera raw plugin.
    I loaded them in photomerge ( ias "raw" but later I also tried as "jpg"s) and wanted to mark the region of the first photo to combine with the background picture.
    When I zoomed in to about 150% the resolution of the image seems to have broken down and all I saw was the details in such a low resolution that I couldn't distinct between focused and not correct focused regiones. When I zoom in to the same magnification but at another point of the processings in PSE13 I do not experience this effect.
    With that I cannot use PSE13 for focus stacking at all... That can't be it...
    Has someone an idea whether I made a mistake or forgot to fix some settings issues or something?
    Thanks in advance,
    cheers,
    Gruenblatt

  • How can I identify which albums are associated with a specific picture.  I used to click on the picture and see the albums but don't know how to do it in 13?

    I keep pictures in Albums, specifically by year and then other topic albums. As a result some pictures are in several albums. Sometimes they are assigned in error.  I used to be able to click on a picture and see not only the tags but the albums associated with the picture.  How can I see which albums are assigned to a picture?

    Are you referring to the yellow text box that pops up like this?
    If it is those are called tooltips or anchor titles.  Cyclosaurus has posted script to block them: removing rollover html detail box: Apple Support Communities.

  • I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer?  If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens?  This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content.  Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
    - I have a stable internet connection
    Clearlly you don't
    >(Ive tested on other devices)
    Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.  It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though.  So that is good.
    Have you checked your wireless rounter?  Tried doing the factory restor on it?  Upgrading it's firmware?  Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

  • Hi, using iphoto 6, i suddenly lost albums: they are still in the directory, but no pictures in some albums.Using finder, I can locate the pictures and even get preview. But impossible to import them. Anyone can help? thanks

    Hi, using iphoto 6, i suddenly lost albums: they are still in the directory, but no pictures in some albums.Using finder, I can locate the pictures and even get preview. But impossible to import them. Anyone can help? thanks

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

    I got photoshop elements 12 from apple app store, after launch , no organize (album). How do I import , export pictures?

    Did you buy the Editor only version? Here's the product comparison - Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 - Buying guide.
    [EDIT] Actually it seems you can ONLY buy the Editor only version via the App Store. Here's an explanation why (scroll down to the fourth section) - Purchases through Mac App Store FAQ.[/EDIT]

  • Moving picture from laptop hard drive to larger external hard drive

    I am not changing anything in my system.  I am using windows 7 and will continue to.  No change in elements version (10).  Please give me a step by step instructions on how to move my pictures from my computer hard drive to an external hard drive (this will NOT be a back up) but the primary locaton for my pictures.  I will keep elements program on my computer and when I want to work on my pictures or download more pictures from my camera  I will connect to the external hard drive.

    A few questions
    When I drag and drop my pictures am I looking at my pictures in elements organizer?
    No, there are two ways to see your folders in PSE11 and PSE12 :
    By default, it's the 'My Pictures' view. It shows a flat list of all the folders containing images registered in the catalog; all the folder of the last level, without the tree organization. You may have missed (like many, many users...) the 'Pictures' view which you obtain in clicking on the small yellow icon in the title bar of 'My Pictures'. You are shown all your folders and subfolders, all your different drives. It's very close to the folder view of Windows explorer, and you can do most of the operations you would do in the explorer.
    You'll understand better if you take the time to play with the 'Pictures' view, where you can collapse or expand subfolders, or right click to show 'display all folders' when they are collapsed.
    Let's say you have all your pictures under the default 'Pictures' folder of Win7. You should see the list of your drives in the lower part of the same left panel.
    I suppose you don't want to change the default 'Pictures' location in Win7. If your external drive has the letter F:, you'll create a new master folder : 'F:/My Pictures bis' for instance. To test the process, you'll select one of your folders under Pictures, drag and drop on F:/My Pictures bis. Then you can check the result by viewing your pictures in different order, by testing your tags, albums etc. All should work exactly the same as before as long as your external drive is plugged in. (If it is not, you'll get 'missing files' warnings which will disappear if you plug in your external drive).
    When you are satisfied with the process, you can move other folders (their subfolders will follow).
    You could move only the upper level 'Pictures' folder of Win7 in a single step, but you'll feel more secure by doing this in several moves, since moving a big amount of files takes a long time (not longer than a move via the explorer,  moving a library of 150 GB like mine requires maybe 2 hours...)
    Since you are on Win7, be sure to give all the access rigths to your external drive...
    Another Windows trick : the catalog will remember and register the letter drive, F: in our example.
    If you plug-in another  accessory in the meantime and the drive is now assigned G:, you'll have problem.
    The best way to avoid such a case would be to assign a letter like M: so that your external drive will be recognized in all cases.

  • Lost pictures in sorted iphoto albums

    My wife has spent many hours moving a lot of pictures into sorted albums.  Her task was to put pictures of anyone who appeared in them into a folder corresponding to that persons name.  She came to me because now more than once pictures that she put into those folders went missing.  They are not missing from the master library, but missing from the folders that she sorted them into.  I have time machine, and restored back to a point approximately 1-1.5 hours before this event happened with no result.  Is there anyway to "recover" those sorted folders with the content she uploaded in them?  For your information, she was performing the "drag-and-drop" from the "events" folder to the predesignated folder she was intending.  Also fyi, some of these pictures were put into multiple folders due to more that one person being in a photograph.  Any info helps.  Thank you.

    Hey léonie ,
    Thank you for your response. 
    iPhoto version is 9.4.2 (710.42)
    What she typically does is sort through all of the pictures in iPhoto (we both use the same account), and if she sees people x,y, and z in a photo, she will put a "copy" of that photo in a folder for x, a folder for y, and a folder for z.  And by "copy" I mean that she clicks and drags the photo from what I believe to be from the events (it could be the "master" library that we view I'm not sure, as I don't mess with iPhoto all that often).  She checks to make sure that the photos that she is moving make it into the folder for the designated person.  She moves about this in a methodical manner, as she has 8 siblings, and therefore literally thousands of pictures.  She doesn't want to lose any of this meticulous sorting after hours of work.
    Also she just revealed to me that she had just plugged her phone into the computer (to retrieve more pictures off of it) and the computer started to run rather slow.  After that iPhoto quit unexpectedly.  It was reopened to find that the pictures were not in the folder she put them in.  She states that the time that elapsed from the phone plug in to the crash of iPhoto was about a minute or two.
    I am not home right now to test for a library corruption, and she wont know what to do if I'm not there.  I'll do so when I get home tonight.

  • Moving Picture Files to External Hard Drive

    I have been using PE3 on my desktop computer for about a year. I am now scanning several thousand photos from slides using my laptop and a Windows file structure and will soon incorporate them into PE3 with my other photos soon.
    Given HD space limits on my desktop computer, I plan to begin storing all my photos on an external hard drive.
    1. What is the best method to move the existing PE3 files to the other drive? I understand that some methods lose the file structure that exists. Is that true?
    2. What is the best method to incorporate the scanned photos into the PE3 system? I guess I can copy the files into the new HD structure and then inport the photos into PE3.
    I would be interested in inputs from someone who had made such a change.
    Please help,
    Doug

    Just to add to Gary's answer
    Can you clarify if you are using the Organizer or not. You say "a Windows file structure." Is this a folder based system and you use Windows Explorer for file management-renaming, moving, deleting, etc.
    If this is the case, you can simply move the photos without any trouble.
    If you use Organizer and have images tagged or built into collections, you should move the images inside of Organizer. Otherwise the underlying MS Access database does not get updated and this is when photos "get lost" in Elements.
    A second option would be to move your pictures outside or Organizer and then do a File>Reconnect>All Missing Files. If the only change is a different drive letter, it should find them on the new drive. You'll have to "accept" these changes.
    Either way, I would recommend doing the moving/reconnects in batches. Sometimes Access gets "confused", especially if you throw a huge number of files at one time.

  • A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version.  Any ideas??

    A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version & no change.  Any ideas??

    ME TOO.
    I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
    * movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
    * for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
    * Items are showing up multiple times.
    * A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
    * Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
    * Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
    Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

  • Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

    Can I store iphoto pictures in time capsule and use with pad

    We can tell you that it is possible to store separate images on the Time Capsule drive. If however, you are asking if you can access separate images from your Time Machine backups on the Time Capsule, this is not possible.
    How you get the images that your want from iPhoto on your Mac to the Time Capsule drive is a question for the iPhoto experts. It will likely involve "exporting" the files that you want and then moving them using the Finder to the Time Capsule drive.
    How you access those images on the Time Capsule from an iPad is a question for the Using iPad experts.
