Rotate images DURING import

To be able to rotate images DURING import would be a nice feature. I can do this with Apple's Image Capture. They are imported wih the rotation I have requested, and this show in the icons too.
I like popping a folder open and view my images in icon view. I don't have to open a program at all. It's quick and efficent way to view my images, but also the orientation is correct right from the beginning with the original. Maybe one more step in the import process, for those of us who don't mind it, BUT it's also one more step I DON"T have to do in Lightroom, Photoshop, or any other program. And the rotataion in Lightroom are temporary to the eye anyway.
This is good feature/option to add to the import. Lightroom ROCKS. It just elimanted a multi-step, multi-software import process. Almost. The "rotate during import" feature would seal the deal. It's a big deal to me. Like the Apple Image Capture, you could place rotation icons on each image in the preview window. If you added that, man, solid gold!
thanks,
Craig

DW Harrison:
Sure, I get that, but I can understand how non-destructive editing is useful in image adjustments where later you may regret having added too much saturation in the reds, so you're glad you can go back to the original. But who wants a portrait image rotated in landscape orientation EVER? It's a personal preference, and, no, not a priority in my opinion.
Ian:
You may think your post was enlightening, but, perhaps to someone else. Surely not me. I've always known what the 'real cause' is -- some software, i.e. WEB BROWSWERS, ignore the EXIF tag. Hence, my question was more of a philosophical one: why have portrait images rotated sideways, only to have aware applications ON-THE-FLY rotate them according to the EXIF tag? Why not just have the original file re-written in different dimensions?
For that matter, I specifically spelled out 'why can't... [the file be] rewritten from 800x600 to 600x800'. Hence I find your response 'They will be if the rotation tag is set in the camera' pretty darn irrelevant. No, they WON'T be rewritten rotated. Only by Graphic Converter if you have the option selected, or other applications that don't come to mind right now.

Auto-rotate images on import, AP 2.0

Since I upgraded to version 2.0 images are no longer auto-rotated on import and I can find no way of switching this function on. It worked fine with all previous versions. I am importing RAW files directly from my D200. Anyone else having this problem?
Andy.

Same here. My KM 7D files used to rotate on import with v1.5.x, but not with v2. I hope this is just a temporary glitch because I REALLY liked that feature. Picking through 400 thumbnails to rotate the images before importing is a pain.
(Just a tip: Until Apple fixes this issue, it's best to rotate your photos while still in the import screen. Aperture hasn't yet begun to create previews or thumbnails for these images and it will save a little time if your computer can start creating these things with the correct orientation from the beginning.
If you wait until after you've imported the photos, Aperture has already begun processing and you'll have to fight for CPU time while you sort through the images looking for shots to rotate.)

Infinite Images During Import

I'm having an odd issue involving the import process. A 25
page word document was created by another employee, and I'm
attempting to import it into RoboHelp 6.0. During the process, the
following happens.
1.) A box pops up telling me that "The selection is marked as
deleted text."
2.) I get a box informing me that error 1594 has occurred.
3.) The first image in the document, a chart created using
Viseo, is replaced by '{bmct IMG00001.bmp} ', which is apparently
the filename that is arbitrarily assigned to the image.
4.) The second image in the document, a screen capture
created using Print Screen and MS Paint, is not replaced. Instead,
the section immediately before the screen grab is replaced by
'{bmct IMG00002.bmp} {bmct IMG00003.bmp} {bmct IMG00004.bmp}...',
and the process continues until I finally get tired of the whole
thing and cancel it hours later (the image count also starts to
repeat itself at 9999, as that's apparently as high as it can go).
A quick check in the project directory shows files IMG00002.bmp,
IMG00003.bmp, etc..., are all copies of the image that the the
import process is getting stuck at.
Any ideas on what's going on, and how to fix this?

It sounds like Word's tracking feature was turned on the last
time the document was edited. You need to accept all the changes
and save before importing.
I am not sure what is happening with the image but deal with
the tracking first to see if that is involved here.

Aperture 3 can't find images during import

I create a project and try to import images into it. I hit import, the directories open yet when I navigate to folders that have images in them none of the files show-up in the window. I can see the folders but they look empty.
Doesn't matter if the images are jpeg, gif, RAW or whatever.
This has happened to me twice while trying to work a deadline. Even quitting Aperture 3 and restarting it doesn't work. Repairing permissions doesn't work, rebooting the MacBook Pro doesn't work. But when I get home and lo and behold now they show up even though I've done nothing differently, maybe the only difference is that I'm plugged into AC power.
Very weird. It's not a drawing previews issue. I've let the laptop sit and no image filenames show-up. Not even in a folder with a few jpegs in them that should be a snap to render. I'm running Aperture 3.0.1
Really ticking me off as I've been on deadline and my Photoshop CS3 won't open Canon 7D RAW files. (I refuse to buy anymore Photoshops due to the RAW plugin blackmail to upgrade). Had to use Canon DPP to convert the files since my DNG converter was outdated and I was in the field with no bandwidth to download a new one.
Example screen snapshot: http://www.hawaii247.org/baron/20100306-Aperture3.jpg
Anyone else have this issue?

I also have this problem, both on my desktop and my laptop while using Aperture 3. This is just one of many, many bugs which is causing me a lot of frustration while using this. Apple, you really need to fix this, and the other bugs -- which are considerable and numerous.
And why is Aperture sooooooo slow? Just retouching takes forever, while the same tool in Photoshop is immediate. Exporting large files are problematic, and sometimes the menu bar disappears. NOT GOOD SOFTWARE!

False. Windows 7 Photo Viewer is fully color managed.

Partial rotation of images when importing...

I'm wondering how to stop Lightroom from "squaring up" my images when I import them. Attached is a screen shot to illustrate.
I also can't find any consistentency, if I import the same image three times it will be as above twice but not on the third time!
I'm wondering if this is a metadata thing?
BTW camera is a Nikon D600.
With thanks in advance,

If this is only happening to a few of the images on import it is most likely something related to your camera. If ALL of the Imported images exhibit the issue then there are two things in LR that could cause this to happen:
1) You are applying a Develop preset on Import that has Lens Corrections> Manual> Rotate tool setting other than '0.'
2) Your LR 'Default Develop Settings' has a Crop Angle tool or Lens Corrections> Manual> Rotate tool setting other than '0.'
To check this import one of the images from CF card that shows the rotation. Examine the Crop Angle tool and Lens Corrections> Manual> Rotate tool settings to determine which one is being applied. From inside the Develop module with the imported image still rotated hit the master 'Reset' button at the bottom of the right-hand Develop panel. This applies your LR 'Default Develop Settings.'
a) If the image is still rotated you may have inadvertently updated your LR 'Default Develop Settings' in the past with the image rotated. To correct this simply hit the master 'Reset' button, reset both the Crop Angle tool and Manual Rotate tools to '0,' go to toolbar Develop> Set Default settings, and select 'Update to Current Settings.'
b) If the image is not rotated you are probably applying a Develop preset that was inadvertently created with the image rotated. You will need to recreate this preset making sure Lens Corrections> 'Transform' is unchecked. This is the only Develop preset setting that will rotate the image as in your example.
If neither a or b fixes the issue you can try resetting your LR Preferences file:

Aperture 3.6 - wrong image selected during import

Aperture 3.6
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
MacBook Air
I run a program at a guest ranch where we import photos from our guests into Aperture. We see multiple devices and have this issue randomly on many of them.
Lets choose an iPhone for the example. Connect the iPhone, go to import, select the device, choose 'Uncheck All'.
Now when scrolling through the images, the guest will select a photo, and at times the image next to it will be checked as well without being selected by the guest. Sometimes it it the first or second image that is automatically selected during import.
Any ideas?
Best,
Lee

Problems with the UI can sometimes be resolved by removing the Preference file.
See Get help with Aperture 3 - Apple Support , scroll down until you see
Reset the user preferences
and follow the directions. Note in step 5 Restart your computer if you're using OS X Mavericks that will apply if you are running Yosemite also.

Frustration - Iphoto corrupting image files during import (?)

To begin with, I'm a recent convert from Windows to the Mac. I'm running a mac mini at home, and a Macbook with Boot Camp at work (in addition to my desktop pc). All of my software is up to date...
I take alot of pictures with my digital camera (canon powershot). Saturday I took about 300 pictures, took the SD card out of the camera, put it into my Sandisk card reader, imported the pictures into iphoto and everything worked great. I chose to not delete the pictures after the import as I wanted to bring the card into work and upload the pictures on my pc.
The next day (Sunday) I took another 70 or so pictures. I was able to view all of the pictures on my camera that I had taken over the past two days.
I go to do an import , taking the exact same procedures that I took on Saturday (and that I always do). The first thing it does is identifies that there are duplicate pictures. I choose the option of "don't import duplicates" and apply this to all of the other duplicate pictures.
At the end of the import, I got an error message saying that some of the files were corrupt. Now, there were pictures from Saturday that were still on there (and readable/viewable). However, every picture that I took on Sunday was "unreadable" and did not show up in iphoto. I put the card back into the camera, and now I can't view the pictures (they show as "corrupted data".
I then pulled the SD card details up in Finder, and the "corrupt" files still show sizes of 2.4mb to 2.8mb, consistant with the good pictures. It shows the file's "Kind" as JPG Image... I double clicked on them and Preview comes up saying something to the extent that the file is corrupt,
I've taken the Sandisk card reader, plugged it into my Macbook (using iphoto in osx) and was able to view one or two of the pictures from Sunday.
Once I got to work this morning, I plugged the sd card into my Windows machine and it too says the files are corrupt. It shows them being on the card, it shows the file sizes, but I can't open the pictures in anything...
If this was a one time deal, I'd be thinking it may be something I've done to cause the problem. However, this is the third instance I've "lost" all of my photos because of them becoming corrupt during an import into iphoto. There definately appears to be a pattern.
I have somewhere around 8,000 pictures inside iphoto that I've taken and had no problems with. I mention this to illustrate that I'm not doing anything differently than I've done before. I have another 14,000 on my old Dell that I need to move over, but I'm questioning if I should do that now.
Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be? Is anyone else experiencing (present or past tense) this problem? Where I'm new to the mac, I understand that I might be doing something wrong. However, I've imported photos to the software (what seems like) hundreds of times, the same way each time. This makes me want to rule out user error...
One other question, I'm saving the "corrupt files" with the hope that there's a software program which will "fix" the files. Do you happen to know of such a piece of software? I'm hoping that I can get them fixed at some point.
Where I'm taking pictures of my kids, its extremely frustrating to find out that the pictures (memories) I was hoping to make prints of are now "gone". Its almost like rolling the dice when doing a photo import any more. Most all of the time it takes, but every now and then the pics are lost...
I'm hoping to identify the problem (either user error, procedure or software issue) and fix it as I really like the mac.
Any help/suggestions you might have for me would greatly be appreciated!

The Chainsaw
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First: the corrupt files: download Graphic Coverter, a shareware which is often successful where other software isn't. But first, if the Mac will let you, copy the files off the card to the Mac.
I'm in this board a while now, and I can't recall an issue of iPhoto corrupting images on import. After all, it's just a simple file copy, at heart. I would be more inclined to suspect the card. DO you have more than one? Does the problem also occur with the other cards?
Try use Image Capture to download the pics to the Mac first, then import them, see does that help. Image Capture is in your Applications folder.

JPG images get corrupted during import to Premiere CS5.5

I'm doing time lapse movies, and import a series of images by choosing the first file, and checking "Numbered stills". After the import (of about 420 JPG files), one of them was being corrupted. It now has a discolored break in it:
The corruption was not present before the import, so it was definitely caused by Premiere CS5.5. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original file (from my memory card). So I essentially lost this image (although the embedded thumbnail is still intact).
Is this a known issue? Will there be a fix?

Thanks for your comments and links, everyone. I've read them, and want to clarify a few things:

Too many of too large pictures can cause problems
Thanks for posting these. I find it disappointing, that large pictures are not being handled well by Premiere. I mean, the images that I'm using are 3648x2736. If that is considered too large, then I would need to batch resize them, e.g., to 1920x1440. But then I would not be able to get high-quality panning and zooming...
Jim Simon wrote:
I no longer have the original file
You must have it. PP doesn't do anything to imported assets other than show them to you. If the image wasn't exactly where it was when you imported it, Premiere Pro would simply see it as offline.
That's not correct, I'm afraid. Each time I import one or more images, Premiere edits the file(s). I believe it is related to the XMP ID. You can even "watch" it do the edits because every JPG file briefly gets rewritten with ._00_ in front of its original file name, e.g., IMG_1234.JPG briefly becomes ._00_IMG_1234.JPG. Afterwards, the original file is being replaced with the new one (which apparently contains the XMP ID tag now).
On a sidenote: I've had several files stay with the ._00_ file name but the original was removed. Meaning that Premiere somehow "forgot" to rename them back. This happened on 8-12 images (out of 600). Very weird.

I'm assuming that's what's causing it. And yes, that option is enabled on my computer. So while the XMP ID tagging went fine for the other 419 images (and frankly for thousands of others before that), it somehow went wrong on one of them. (I should say two because it did happen twice to me so far.)
I will disable the option "Write XMP ID to files on import" from now on, and hope that I can avoid image corruption by that. But from what I understood, this will have other consequences (performance degradation).
The only alternative would be to keep a backup copy of all images before importing them to Premiere...
In any case, I believe this is a bug that should be fixed - together with the above mentioned bug on large images.

How does iPhoto handle rotating images? 'Revert to Original' Issue

I use iPhoto for all my images, and need to get my head around how it stores images, particularly when edited. If I rotate a photo, for example from horizontal to landscape, then I think it stores the old version, and the new version. I can use the menu to 'Revert to Original' - which shows the unrotated image.
According to iPhoto, my library size is 24.8gb.
According to Finder, the library size is 34.2gb
I would like to reclaim this nearly 10gb back, as if I have rotated a photo, I do not need the original version! It would also be nice to change the iPhoto behaviour, so when you rotate an image, it does not create a new file.
I have heard of iPhoto diet, but that does not work reliably for newer versions.
I use iPhoto 7.1.4 (the latest) and any help or advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The best way to do what you want for future photos is to upload the photos from the camera to a folder on the desktop, rotate the file there before importing into iPhoto. There are 3rd party applications that can losslessly rotate image files. Also do not turn on the Auto-Rotate feature of your camera if it has one.
For those that are already in the library the only way to do what you want is to replace the original file with a copy of the edited file inside the library package and then do a revert to original on that file.
To facilitate replacing the original files with a copy of the edited (modified) files put all of the files you want to replace into one Event. That will put them all in one folder within the Originals folder and Modified folder. Then copy the contents of the Modified subfolder into the corresponding Originals subfolder.
You run a big risk of damaging the library if an error is made during the process. It's really not recommended. In other words *proceed at your own risk and make a backup of the library before proceeding*.
The reason the finder reports a larger library is that it is reporting the original, thumbnail and modified files as well as the database, cache and data files.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Error During Import: File Could Not Be Imported

I am trying to load some .AVI movies from my digital camera into iMovie; most of them will, but 1 or 2 for some reason will not. I have played some of these videos on my old G3, which I replaced with this new computer; most loaded in OK.
The clips that won't load look smaller than the others when playing (don't know why). I played the movies and converted them to Quicktime again in MPEG Streamclip and they played fine (also in VLC PLayer, FWIW).
I am getting this error message: Error during Import: File Could Not Be Imported.
Also, I am trying to change the orientation of one clip that I inadvertently shot sideways; I did this in Bitlist but it won't load now into iMovie. Is there away to change the orientation in Quicktime (I'm not buying QT pro) or another free converter that will work?
Thanks in advance...

try to ...
* open the avi/mpegs in Streamclip
* choose 'DV stream' as export option
* in the 'DV stream' dialog, you're offered the option 'turn'.. rotate in the wanted direction and choose '75%' size to get all into the video...

Re:Error during import of Videos from SD card

So i click on "OK" the window disappears, and i am left wondering how the **** am i supposed to do that ? .
But whats more, is My videos show as a new file in iMovies and i can see all the clips as thumbnails, but when the reader is ejected, and the card removed, Although a window shows My New 'Camera imports' file, i can niether see nor access the films in any way to do anything with them.
I am a Novice to this area of Mac, So please, be gentle with me ! Can someone Exlpain ( Clearly !) whats happening, and what i need to do ?
There are also photos on the same SD card that i will later want to put into ' Image Capture' So hope your replys will, if neccesssary deal with that too should the problem arise.

Problem on PC: During import, I can locate the sources folder however the photo do not display. Was working fine.

Problem on PC: During import, I can locate the sources folder however the photo do not display. Was working fine. All file types, Lightroom is no longer recognising the images to import, The panel that usually displays them remains empty. Try using backup versions, removing software that could conflict , still no joy, has anyone had this problem?

Did you follow this procedure?
Our iTunes guru Terence Devlin advises the following:
1. Quit iTunes
2. Drag the iTunes folder from your internal hd - located in ~/Music folder - to your external hd. DO NOT delete the original one from your internal hd... yet!
3. When the transfer is complete, press and hold the Option(alt) key and fire up iTunes.
4. A "Choose iTunes Library" window will come up. Click on the "Choose Library" button.
5. Navigate to where the iTunes folder is located in the external hd.
6. Within the iTunes folder, select the iTunes Library file and click Choose...
That's it. iTunes will now display all your playlists, songs, movies, podcasts etc. At this point, should you wish, you can delete the iTunes folder from the internal hd to free up space.
