Right click capability & a photo query

I am wondering if there's a way for me to have the right click capabilities one has in Windows. I have an OS X 10.3.9 on an iBook G4. There's a lot of things that I can't do because of not being able to have right click capabilities such as "save target as" etc.
My second question is about a way I can use a keyword shortcut to open up a series of files within a folder. I am a researcher and so take a lot of photos of documents and books. It is very inconvenient to use iPhoto to read documents since the window/frame for each photo is very small in iPhoto. So what I do is to just open up the image through Preview. My question is how I could open up let's say 100 photos in a single folder one after another with the fewest possible key and/or mouse touches. So I am looking for a way to read a 100 page book in the easiest way possible. In the long run, when we're talking about working on a dissertation, this saving of time matters greatly. Hope I was clear on the second question.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Ron_9,
Question 1: The 'right click' option on the mac can be achieved by pressing the "control" key as you click the left button on the mouse (or single button on the mouse pad). Or you can purchase an inexpensive USB mouse with left, right, and scroll buttons... That will make your work a little easier.
Question 2: Open the folder that contains the 100 pictures you want to view. Press the "command/Apple" and "a" keys at the same time. This will select all the files in that folder.
Now, press the control key and mouse pad button (or "right-click"), which should open a dialog box. Click on "open with", and click on "Preview." This should open all your pictures in Preview, and you can just scroll through them.
Hope this helps.
Bob

Right-click to open photos in PSE

I used to be able to right-click on a photo and select 'open with PSE 11' but, I installed Portrait Professional on my laptop and now PSE doesn't show as an option. I even tried to change the program at the bottom of the window, but PSE doesn't even show up as a program option. I've also tried to change it within PSE, but I'm not seeing an option for choosing file types to open with it. I currently have to open PSE then find the photo I want to open which is so much more time consuming. I want my right-click option back as 99% of my photo editing is done using PSE. Help.
Actually, I have both PSE 11 and PSE 12 on my laptop ... is there a way that I can toggle setting so that I have the option of opening photo files in either (till this only PSE 11 showed as an option).
Thanks!

In 'open with' everything BUT PSE shows up as an option ... and when I do 'choose default program' its the same thing ... doesn't even show up. I can't even find a trail to either PSE 11 or 12, even when I go to the Adobe folder (through the choose default program). Portrait Professional Studio 11 has highjacked my photo files somehow it seems. Worked perfectly till I installed that on my laptop! grrrrrrr
I'd thought there would be a setting in PSE where I could choose the file types I want it to open, but if its there I'm not seeing it.

I keep getting this error message when I (right-click) on a photo file on my desktop to burn to a CD. I don't understand this code...does anyone? Thanks Ariel**:The disc can't be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).

I tried every obvious solution to this problem with different types of disc (-R; +R; -RW and +RW) and the problem persisted. Then I read about removing a hyphen in picture filenames. I renamed all the images and bingo there were no further problems. Apple should have solved this by now. This error code has been reported for several years and my MacBook Pro is quite new. Anyway, I hope this helps. It does work.

Elements 11 freezes when I right click on a photo

About two weeks ago my elements 11 started freezing, blue spinning circle(program not responding), whenever I right clicked on a photo in the "open" window. I had an older version of photoshop on my computer and it started doing the same thing on that one as well. I uninstalled both and then reinstalled 11, still freezes. HELP!

Sounds like you installed something or had a driver update that's causing an issue. If you are on Windows then Control Panel / Programs will show when programs have been installed. Windows Update history may show if any drivers were updated.
Probably not relevant for Photoshop Elements, or there would be more reports, but in the Premiere Elements forums an awful lot of v10 users with nvidia GTX graphics cards are having problems with the most recent graphics driver update. They are solving those problems by restoring back to the previous version.
Do you have a system restore point from before the problem occurred you could go back to?
Cheers,

Accidentaly right clicked on a photo information how can I fix thisaccidentaly right clicked on a photo information

accidentaly right clicked on a photo information. Hit something about not showing on facebook was not my intrntion. Now none of my photos or friends photos show up.

Hi,
Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel this.] You can check in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Content''' > '''Exceptions''' (for images) and delete the address (I'm using another version but I think the method would be very similar). [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel Options > Content]
If you blocked the image through an add-on, try right-clicking on an image on another website to find out the name of the add-on and open the add-on options to delete/disable the blocking rule. Alternatively you can also try via the '''Options''' for the add-on in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions''' (on the left). Clicking on '''More''' > '''Home Page''' would take you to the help/support site for the add-on.

Right click and stealing photos

Is there anyway to keep people from right clicking on a photo on your site and then dropping and dragging it from your website to their desktop.?
Thanks
PM

There are a lot of versions of this javascript code that will basically disable the right-click and save action that you describe...
http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/no-right-click.html
This is not a foolproof method of preventing image "theft" though. In fact there is no way to prevent this...only ways to make it marginally more cumbersome for the less technically adept users. Anything that can be viewed in a browser window can be saved. Think of how easily a simple screenshot would work...try it: type Apple-Shift-4 and then draw a box around your image.
The thing about displaying images on a web page is that you just have to establish your own low resolution cutoff for your images. Obviously the original full-resolution image is the one you want to protect...because it can be used for enlargements and other purposes. But if you decrease the quality with JPG compression or watermarking and make your images lower resolution, you can limit the usefulness of the displayed images without degrading the image visually (at least not significantly) on the page.

Right click to delete photos

I am fairly new to lightroom and have always been able to right click on an image and I would get the option to "delete photo" (Windows). My daughter was playing around with the program and now when I right click, there is no option to delete. That happened while still in version 1.0 and did not correct when I upgraded to 1.1 . I assume there is some easy thing I need to do to get the "delete" back but I sure can't find what it is.

What do you mean by folder view? I used to be able to right click in the Library module on the thumbnail or on the film strip and also in the Develop module by right clicking the image. In both instances, delete photo would appear and I could remove the image from the files.

Right clicking to save photos from web source

I am trying to save PICS from a web-site and I am stumped about the "right-click." What is the Mac substitute for this command?
It is a subscription service so I can't send you the URL.
If you'd like to save photos to your computer, simply hold the cursor over one of slideshow pictures and select Visit Gallery. From there, you'll be able to download individual ones by opening a photo, right-clicking, and selecting Download This Photo.

On a Mac, right-clicking is done by holding down the control key when you click on the image or file.
Alternatively, just dragging the image to your desktop usually does the trick.

Wireless Mouse Eventually Looses "Right-Click" Capability

Hello!
The Right-Click funtion on my Bluetooth Wireless Mighty Mouse works for a short time, but eventually ceases to function.
I have to re-set up the mouse in Bluetooth over and over and over.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or should I return my mouse?
Thank you!

Yes, unfortunately this seems to be a common problem. From the threads my theory is that it's a hardware problem on some (maybe high) fraction of the mice. You can try returning it; some folks (myself included) have had luck with one return but others have gone through a few of these BT MM's in succession with this problem.
For reference, see these threads:
* Losing right click on bluetooth mighty mouse
* Occasional problems with right-clicking on wireless Mighty Mouse
* Wireless Mighty Mouse Right Button does not work well
* Random loss of Secondary Button with Wireless Mighty Mouse
Anyway, you get the idea.

When I download photos, I right click on the photo, then "save as", the browse opens and I select a folder. I then have a number of problems usually only one at a time:

sometimes they come in a zip file, which I really don't know what to do with, so I have unzipped it to a picture folder which leaves an entire folder within a folder. That also leaves an empty zip folder in my pictures.
The craziest thing and most unwanted as well, is that although I have downloaded only a specific file, the folder fills with photos that I have only looked at in my browser...tons of them! Most are unrelated to each other as well as viewed on different dates.
Sometimes, the file extension is an unknown file type to me at times (sorry can't find an example).
I have only tried to download pictures from FaceBook to date.
I apologize for not understanding some computer basics - which probably are the causes of most of these problems. I have read most of the literature for Firefox, but a lot is above me.
I really hope that you can help me and that my LONG description and information is just a pain.
Thanks in advance

On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.

With the Lion, the copy and paste commands don't work. So if you choose a photo and right click Copy, this photo can't be pasted in another event. This used to work with Snow Leopard.

The copy and paste functions in iPhoto used to work in Snow Leopard, but not with the Lion. How do I copy and paste photos from one event to another? What I don't understand is that it used to work with Snow Leopard, and now that the OS has been upgraded to Lion, it doesn't?

Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

When I try to right click "Save As" on photos in my yahoo email, I only get the option of saving as a secure download firefox document. How can I save the photo as it is intended (jpeg, png) ?

If someone includes a photo in the email body message (I use yahoo), if I right click on the image to save it to my computer, I only get the option to save it as a firefox document - secure download. If I save it as such and then click on the link, it takes me to a page full of weird code.
Please advise. I would like to be able to right click on the photo as save the image to my computer.

If Firefox doesn't saves the image with a valid image file extension like .jpg or .png then you need to add that file extensions yourself. You can rename already saved images and change the file extension to get working images. Add quotes around the name while renaming ("image.jpg") if Windows hides the current file extension or refuses to change the name (i.e you get image.jpg.html).

Firefox keeps crashing when I attach or right click photos.

When I try to attach photos in email or on Facebook, Firefox keeps crashing. It also crashes when I try to right click and save photos from Facebook or ebay. The problem started today. I have tried rebooting and updating Firefox, but it keeps happening. Everything else seems to be running fine.

Please update to the current Firefox 36 release.

In Firefox 4 with IE Tab 1.98.2011.322 Right clicking on a bookmark in the bookmark bar no longer brings up the option to open in an IE Tab.

In the previous version of Firefox when I right clicked on a bookmark in the bookmark bar the IE Tab options would appear. They no longer do since I have moved to Version 4. It would be great to get this ability back.. Thanks
