Require unsharp mask for web photo sharing?

Hi,
I have a few hundred very high resolution photos that I will size down for an online photo album. After I run the batch process to resize them all, is it recommended that I do an unsharp mask command on all of them? And if yes, is there any add-on for PSE 5 that allows me to do a batch command on so many photos?
Thanks, Vlad

Vlad,
I find that sharpening my images after downsampling for Email/Web display is a big improvement. It's easy to overdo it, though on the small image. I usually set the the radius to around 0.7 pixels and the Amount to around 70 for images that are reasonably sharp.

You can listen to whomever you wish.
But here's why I'm telling you what I am.
I've been doing this type of thing with still images from a Nikon D200 and now D300 and intercutting them to a video shot with a HVX200, and now HPX170 and HMC150 for more than three years.
FCP does not have the controls to achieve a professional result.
More than that, its ease in/out controls jump the image and provide sparse control over the areas of interest and the zoom/pans, among other things.
I love Noise Industries products. I've tested this one. It's better than some.
But the interface isn't conducive to a good workflow, and you need to render to see results.
I respect David's opinions on just about everything.
But I have tried just all of them - FCP, AE, Motion, Still Life, Moving Picture, PhotoToMovie, Lyric Media's product, and this one from Niclas's NI collection, etc.
FotoMagico is inexpensive and produces far better results than anything I've seen. And it is so much easier and intuitive to use.

Tag Library for Web Photo Album 2.2.6

I am attempting to use the Web Photo Album extension 2.2.6
and am wondering how to get the file name to show up underneath the
thumbnails. I see that you can use fireworks to enter a caption but
I just want to use the file name. In the standard Web Photo Album
creator there is a check box to include the file name. Can anyone
tell me how to do this when creating a custom template.
Thanks
John

You didn't ask for this but after you use it you will never
want to use
Photo Album again and its free -

Specifing required php extensions for web application package

Hello,
is there a way to specify/auto-load required extensions in a web application package? Our application is needing the php_fileinfo and the php_opensll extension which are both not loaded by default and we preferred to save our users the hassle to add these by
hand in their azure settings.
We tried the .user.ini, which is not allowing extension loads.
Setting the appSettings in web.config did not propagate, too.

Hi jogoks,
Did you want to enable the extensions and run it? I suggest you could try this
How to: Customize the built-in PHP runtime . You may need add the extension information into 'php.ini' file.
Please try it. If I misunderstood, please let me know.
Regards,
Will

Links I get for a photo-sharing website open correctly in IE but not in Firefox 35.0, which goes to the right site but the wrong page. Previous Fox was fine.

In the past, clicking on the link in Thunderbird opened the page at shutterfly.com correctly in FF (default browser). Now it goes
straight to one of the options for the photos that the link referred to.
Copy & paste the link directly into FF gives the same dud result - whereas IE opens it perfectly.
I have also tried disabling Adblockplus and my various plug-ins.

guigs2 - I've tried that but no joy. In fact, the about:config was set to user
defined, so I reset it to default as advised and tried the link again. No change.
jayelbe - Somehow I don't think the sender of the link would like having his
Shutterfly page floating around the place, even if its in a good cause. Sorry!
You could, of course, set up a Shutterfly account (its free), upload a pic and
share it with whoever - the invite to share is sent direct from the site.

How to choose album for ios6 photo sharing facebook

When I want to share a photo directly from my photostream to facebook I have a limited number of albums to choose from and cant seem to add another album.
Can you add an album to facebook and how do you then choose that album when uploading?

I've found this too. Do your albums in Facebook have "custom" audience settings? My albums that are shared to custom audiences (eg, 'Close Friends, Family') don't show up. Albums that are set to simple audiences (eg, just 'Friends' or 'Myself') do show up.

Web Photo Gallery - Photoshop CS 8.0 (WinXP) - Please help!!!

Hello all,
I'm using Photoshop CS 8.0 on WinXP, but when I load images for Web Photo Gallery, it shows the error as: "This is an error disbling controls for missing tokens. Some files or folders for selected style might be missing."
I don't know what happens and please show me how to fix it. I need here very urgent for my works.
Thank you very much for your strong support and paying attention.
Thuydinh.

Bob,
Thanks for answering. I need to create a Web Photo Gallery so I can upload thumbnails and full-size pictures to my website and have viewers be able to download the full-sized pictures. The Flash version does not permit downloading and requires that you use one of the provided templates. It appears that Photoshop Elements 8 is a downgrade from Photoshop Elements 2.0 in this respect. Is there any way to accomplish what I want to do with Photoshop Elements 8.0?
By the way, I really like your video tutorial on the Adobe website.

Using Adobe Web Photo Gallery

I have PS CS4, on a mac, and I added the Web Photo Gallery plug-in.
This works, but I cannot get PS to make a Web Photo Gallery that reflects the folder structure that I am using.
PS just dumps all images into one ore more pages, without regard to their source folder structure.
I want PS to make a home web page that contains just links to web pages that actually contain the images in the sub-folders.
I do not see an option to do that.
I have a home folder, which contains sub-folders, and those sub-folder contain the images.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

Most CS3 Web Photo Gallery Templates are flash free. They use straight HTML. Even the ones the change images automatically just use HTML to refresh the page displayed and change the page to the next image. The Photoshop Web Gallery Template can be edited and customized to better suit your needs. Adobe has removed Photoshop's Photo Web Galleries from newer version of Photoshop however the Feature can be installed into the newer Photoshop versions. Adobe added an output module to the Bridge that can create Web Photo Galleries these are mostly Flash based and not easily customized like Photoshop's old Web Photo Gallery templates.
IMO there is nothing wrong with Flash Web Galleries other then mobile tablets and phone do not have flash support. I have yet to see any HTML 5 web gallery with features that match Flash Galleries. I'm not a fan of Flash web sites or Flash games. However there are many Flash web photo galleries that perform well and have great features. I do not particularly want to display my images on small web phones. If you want to see them on a tablet get a windows 8 pro tablet they should have flash support. I put large images in Web Photo galleries fitted for 1600x1200 displays and count on flash to resize them for the users browsers window.
Here is an example of a Flash web photo gallery. It contains 8 or 9 albums some with additional feature enabled. All generated in Photoshop with a custom script. http://www.mouseprints.net/albums/
Resize your browser window see the image sizes change use the menu in the bottom of the browsers window to change album and try full screen support. I only use Flash for Web Photo Galleries. I'm not selling so I do not need IOS and Android support.

CS5 - Where has Web Photo Gallery gone? I use it all the time to prepare galleries for Dreamweaver.

Having just upgraded from CS2 to CS5, I cannot find Web Photo Gallery (previously File, Automate, Web Photo Gallery).
This was very useful to prepare galleries of images sent to me by our group members in all sizes, so I could send all the gallery files straight into Dreamweaver for uploading to our website.

Thanks, "obvious" always works for me...
In CS2 they offered thumbnails of the gallery styles. Hitting Refresh Preview in CS5 requires the photos to load the gallery. Doesn't take too long, but the other was quick and simple.

Cant get to photos so nothing but .MAc any good for photo sharing anymore !

It seems that as we cannot access the photos (easily) in iphoto 08 as it is in package that any photo sharing except .Mac is pretty well useless.. Is this correct ???
I have Flicr, Photobucket Picasa and Koffeephoto online photo sharing accounts and now I cannot upload to these because Apple seems to want hide our photos in a package . Funny that it works with .MAC but I am not paying for this service when alls I need has been available free for quite a while and my friends go there to see my photos. It almost feelings like I am being forced towards .Mac because of this.
Are other people having the same upload hassles to these other accounts because of this or is there an easy way to get this to work. I really hope I am not going to be forced to open the package and copy photos out of it and then go through the services upload programs. Have I missed something ?
Thanks

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
There are plug-ins for exporting directly to Flickr, perhaps there are for the other sites too. Search on MacUpdate
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

Photo sharing doesn't work, no folders, sorting, limit amount, waiting for library

I promised my wife that I would make a solution for us to view our photo collection on TV.
So I bought a Synology DS411Slim and copied all our photo's from all our computers to this NAS, and bought an AppleTV.
Then I shared some photo folders from the iTunes on my MacBook.
This worked for the first time and we could browse the photo's, super cool.
But then I added a folder, it took a while for AppleTV to sync the library, but after that I could not find the folder.
It was not sorted on name, it was the last folder in the list!
Then I changed the iTunes photo share folder, but now the AppleTV doesn't finish the reading of the library.
I started to read the web about photo sharing problems, and I found that there are really a lot of complaints about this basic functionality.
Viewing photo's on your AppleTV is one of the first things that you want to do imho, I'm not interested searching for photo's on Flickr,
I want my own photo's, and I want to see the folders.
I really don't understand this from Apple, what do I tell my wife?
Bart
p.s. I also installed iOS beta 6, but no improvements on the photo sharing..

Bart, did you get any further with this issues? I have the same situation here :
Situation:
I store my Pictures (8K) and Music on a DS212j equipped with 7200RPM.
I reference my iTunes to this NAS and have done a consolidated files on the NAS.
I homeShare on itunes the shared folders on the NAS with 8K pics.
Want to see and hear all that on my Apple TV.
The problem:
Apple TV Music Library over Itunes works flawlessly. GOOD
XBOX 360 access the pictures on NAS via DLNP and works flawlessly. GOOD
iPhone through Synology Photo apps get through all Pictures. GOOD
Apple TV Pictures Library over iTunes : dont get out of loading libraries! NOT GOOD
The Question:
Since everything works with the NAS (Music with iTunes, Pictures with Xbox and iPhone), what is going wrong with the Pictures Library of Apple TV through iTunes?
The NAS vs The External Drive
I often see answer saying NAS is not the best place to share photo, but reality is that it will be more and more ofenly use since it is a good solution for a family with grewing pictures library and Apple TV should manage it...
1- I dont use external drive on a Portable MacBook Pro
2- wife and kids just dont want to touch an external Hard drive!
3-... And Xbox read it from NAS flawlessly... ThereFore, it should work on the Apple Tv.
Thanks,
Christian
P.S. It seem not recommanded putting iPhoto Library on the NAS. (See post from Terence Devlin)

Adjust Photo Size For Web Gallery

I'm uploading a new Web Gallery as I type this....(although nothing appears to be happening at the moment...I decided against my first couple of efforts and deleted those galleries).
I don't see a way to adjust the size of the photos uploaded to the Web Gallery. As each of the photos I'm uploading is approximately 3MB in size, I was hoping there might be an option to compress each of the photos prior to uploading. Am I missing it?
In iPhoto Help, there's a topic for "Choosing the Appropriate Size For Your Photo". Apparently, this only refers to emailed photos, though?
Any thoughts on this?

Mike:
Have you checked on the size of the files uploaded to the web gallery? They are resized to 800 x 600 pixels. If you select the option to have the full sized image downloaded then the max pixel dimension is 3054 pixels in any direction. If the are larger than than the get resized. Additionally the file is compressed. My 2.7 MB file was downsized to 750 KB.
Do you Twango?
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. 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.

Default Setting for Unsharp Mask (Threshold) ???

Hello again...
Was attempting to clean up a photo enlargement last nite utilizing 'Unsharp Mask'...inadvertantly changed the 'Threshold' setting in the dialog window...& failed to notice what this setting was previously engaged at.
[this happens to me every so often, aamof.]
so...I'm using Photoshop CS3. What is the default number for this setting ???
(or...perhaps more importantly...how does one return *all* such dialog settings in Photoshop back to factory default ???)
Thanks very much,
Mark Forman

The settings should be experimental/interactive:
1) Set Threshold=0
2) Set Amount=200% or even more
3) Increase Pixels from 0.5 until halos are clearly visible
at edges
4) Decrease Amount until the halos are just not disturbing
5) Increase Threshold until smooth areas are not affected,
but sharper edges are still enhanced
For typical digital images with 3000x2000 pixels:
Amount=100% Pixels=1 Threshold=8
So far my interpretation of the recipes in Dan Margulis'
Professional Photoshop. This might be helpful as well:

Imported jpeg photos with noise after unsharp mask in photoshop

Hallo, I have this problem with Aperture (last update version). I have some photos in RAW/NEF format, I use Camera Raw for the main adjustment and then I use unsharp mask in photoshop for get sharpening. Photos are saved in jpeg max quality and I import the Jpeg files in Aperture. When I view this photos, for a few seconds photo looks good and sharp (I see loading... indicator). Then photos become blurry and it present a huge noise. If I export one of this photos or I view in Iphoto or in mac Preview, photo is very good. The problem is INSIDE of Aperture. If I don't use unsharp mask (from photoshop), all is ok!!! I tried to import files directly in Iphoto and photos are good.
Thank you.

What your screenshots are showing, is exactly how the sharpening with "unsharp mask" is supposed to work. It emphasizes any variation of the luminance in the image, including the variance due to noise. The threshold parameter should be used to separate noise from the main edges in the photo. By setting this parameter to 0, you have disabled the noise suppression in this filter, and so the result is very noisy, most noticable in the darker regions of the image, where there are no real edges to be sharpened, only noise. I'd recommend to set the threshold to a higher value, I usually use 10-20 or so. My screenshot was computed with a threshold of 15.
But the big question is, why you are not seeing the noise in iPhoto or Preview. Have you pixel-peeped at 100 % in these apps? There must be some kind of filter applied that will reduce the noise that must be present.
Your second question: Why do the jpeg load first as bluury and then gradually become sharper? I only see this happen, when I save the jpegs with the option "Progressive"; this will encode the jpeg in scale-space - a pyramide of images at different resolution. When opening, Aperture will first load the coarse resolution as apreview, and the image will gradually become sharper.
