Saving photo collection

I have APE 5, am using a PC and my OS is XP.
I have arranged photos in the order I want them to show in a slide show. I can't figure out how to export or save them to remain in this order. Everything I try changes the order. Any suggestions?

Sandra,
When I want to burn some slides to a CD in a particular order, here is what I do. in your original post, you seemed to have tried most of the steps, but the renaming one. Before I list the steps, I want to make sure that you understand that the "renaming" as I do it does not affect the names of the originals in the catalog. Ok, here is what I do:
1. Make a Collection and sort the pictures in the order you want them to be.
2. With only the pictures in your Collection visible, press Ctrl-A to select all of these picures, which will put a blue border around each one.
3. Click on File > Export > As a new file... (PSE 5 - not sure if the wording after the Export is exactly the same in PSE 3/4)
4. In the Export New Files dialog box which opens, enter the following:
File Type = Use Original Format
Location: Browse to a temporary folder location where you want to store the copies/renamed pictures. I will call it "Burn to CD" here.
File Names = Common Base Name, and then enter the base name you want to use, for example I'll use "CD Copy"
5. Click on Export. Each image will be renamed CD Copy 1, CD Copy 2 etc
6. Now outside of PSE, use your CD Burning software to burn the temporary folder you made, "Burn to CD" in this example.
7. Unless you have a reason to keep it, delete the "Burn to CD" folder after you have burned the CD. You can do this using Windows Explorer. Remember, PSE Organizer knows nothing about these copies, and your original images are still where they were and are in the catalog untouched.
There may be a better way to do this, but this method works for me.
Hope this helps somewhat.
P.S. If that is what you have been doing and it has not worked, I apologize for misreading your post and others' comments.

Sync Bridge photo collections to iPod?

I have hunted across the web and haven't even found a page that discusses the question, let alone answers it:
Is it possible to sync Adobe Bridge photo collections to an iPod?
I suspect the answer is no (or at least, not directly).
Ideally, what I would like to do is "sync selected collections" to my iPod, including both ordinary collections and smart collections.
Since I suspect there is no way set up within iTunes or iOS to sync from Bridge's collections, I am looking for workarounds that will allow me to do this.
I've poked around and found that the collections are really just XML documents containing a list of file names (including the full path for each file), and the smart collections are XML lists of criteria.
I have monkeyed around with aliases and symbolic links coupled with iTunes' "sync photos from folder..." dialogue, and it appears that aliases (aka shortcuts) will not work, and neither will symbolic links, but hard links will.
What's needed, then (and I believe this is the only way to accomplish my objective without doubling the hard disk space taken up) is a script/droplet/workflow/whatever that will take the collections from Bridge and create hardlinks for all photos from all collections, in a new directory (with the descriptive title "iPod syncing photos folder with hardlinks of collections' photos"—or maybe something shorter, heh heh.)
I would then have one main directory ("iPod photos") containing subdirectories with names corresponding to my Bridge collections, each subdirectory containing hard links to every photo in its namesake Bridge collection. Of course the script would have to be rerun before any iPod sync, since any changes to the contents of the collections (or the smart collections) would otherwise not be reflected in the iPod Photos directory. But it could conceivably work very nicely.
Can anyone scripting savvy point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this?

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try and there are some major problems with it for my intended workflow: (listed in order of severity)
So many users so many workflows, I was just thinking out loud
1. It opens each photo individually in Photoshop. Yes, it only opens them for a second—but try running this on 4000 photos. (I don't have 4000; I have about 12000. I want roughly a third of them on my iPod.)
Actions are very useful but sometimes take its time. Personally I always use custom created actions in PS instead of the image processor or if you still have Bridge CS6 the Export panel (which does not start PS but let Bridge handle this job). However 10 or 1000 or even 12 K of images, let it run once overnight and you will be done without needing to look at it
2. This would have to be run manually, individually for each Bridge collection.
There you have a point I have no solution for. In a normal folder structure with the originals you could select the main folder, use menu view and select view items from subfolders and you could use one action to run on the whole content. But collections don't work that way and need to be selected one by one.
3. This would have to be run manually by collection each time I want to sync my iPod, in order to include any newly tagged or collected photos.
Yes, but that would be a minor effort because when adding new files to a collection you have those files already selected and can run any action on them.
4. When emailing or sharing photos from the iPod, full resolution images would no longer be available.
I'm not sure I follow this but I don't know what a full resolution file on your system would mean. I have used a lot of different dSLR since 2001 and currently use an 18 MP dSLR and there is no way I can email those HR files. For me the usual limit per email attachment is 10 MB and my HR files saved in Jpeg Max are around 15 to 20 MB each. My HR archive form the past 10 years contains 65 K of images and needs 500 GB of storage…
5. I have over 17 GB of photos. With the large number that are in collections, even medium res copies will take up a large amount of space. (Hard links will take almost none.)
First of all, using an action in PS you can also create Safe for Web files that with some study can create fabulous quality just for screen while taking less then 80 KB of file size. Also other options like resizing to 10 x 15 cm 300 ppi jpeg 8 creates relatively small files that depending on content rarely will be above 1 MB each.
Also I don't rely on collections for archiving purposes because over the years they have proofed to be very unreliable. A collection has its use for me but only on the short term usage and as feed for Mini Bridge in PS.
I use a real Digital Asset Management application for my archive (in my case Canto Cumulus single user, not very cheap but very good).
And I'm not sure how a hard link on your iPod would manage you to distribute HR files using your iPod while the files are on your computer but I also have to admit that I still have a lot to learn in the digital world
I think the key lies in Bridge scripting, at least for the "get collections items" part. If I can pipe that into a standard AppleScript, Automator Workflow, bash script or whatever, I believe I can manage the rest (creating links, etc. Any tips on Bridge scripting usage for exporting collection items?
There is a dedicated bridge Scripting Forum with very knowledgable and helpful people, try this:

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

When I am saving photos from a file, I cannot get the save path to go back to the default folder I want them in. Each save has to be done by going through the path to find the folder I'm saving to.

I am saving photo files from my camera, a drop box etc. I used to be able to click "save as" and the folder I saved in before came up for saving the new image. Now, I have to start way back to the "Barb" folder - to "documents" "images, etc" back up to the folder I save these particular pictures in.
How do I get the "save" to go to the last folder I used - in this particular session?
Everytime you route me back to "educated guesses" I cannot find this particular problem

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality

I would like to be able to update my photo collection dynamically

I have a photo album that goes through a sequence of same
sized photos. However when I want to change the photos I always
have to go into flash and change stuff which is time consuming. I
would like to be able to update my photo collection dynamically by
just changing the files in the folder in my computer called images.
The .swf file would respond to this by showing the new sequence of
files in this folder. This would save me much time.
thnks very much for any advice.

you can use an XML file to grab the images, and flash can
parse them out and display them, then when you want to make a
change, you could either rename the photo the same as the old one,
or update the XML file.

Trying to get Saved Photos from my iPod to my Computer

Hi there
I am a Windows Vista user and i have owned an iPod Touch 2nd Gen 16 Gb for many months.
Before i have updated from 3.0 software to 3.1, i used to access the 'Saved Photos' frolder on my ipod by going to My computer and d.clicking on the ipod icon and there was the folder with the photos i have saved on my ipod, for instance photos i saved from the web browser or backgrounds i saved from some applications.
Now, there is no iPod Touch icon in My computer ever again, nither when ipod touch is connected and being synced nor when the sync is finished. Simply, i can not find a way to access the saved photos folder after the update.
Does anyone know if maybe there is some new setting in iTunes that turns on this convenient function on an iPod touch?
I know there are programs that allow you to COPY all photo content from an iPod but this is not what i am looking for.
I want to do this because I want to keep the Saved Photos on my PC so when I restore my iPod I can still have 'em put in my iPod, since I will lose them restoring it..

Nevermind I just figured it out! I had to select NO EVENTS which made that whole section clickable and I unchecked what I didn't want on my iPod!

IPhone 4s no longer saving photos after downloading iOS6

After downloading the new iOS6 to my iPhone 4s I can no longer save pictures from Facebook or the web. When I touch the photo I am given the option to save it (which I do), but then it doesn't appear in my camera roll. Only pics taken with camera are saved. Why is this happening??

There is one way of saving photos of Facebook that is to hold down the home button and the button at the top of your phone the button at top hold these two down together and it will save it for you. You might have to do it a few times but it will work because I do it this way all the time hope it works for ya.

Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If i download a picture on on an app, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image

Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If I take a picture on Instagram, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image, I just want it fixed.

To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

How do i save Images from the "Saved Photos" folder in my iPad

I have no idea how to save the images that i save while surfing the net or emails.
They are saved to a folder in my IMAGE build in app called "Saved Photos", but i don't know how to get them out of my iPad.
Does anyone know how do do this?
Thanks

Very simple, open up my computer and the iPad icon should be displayed just like any other drive. When you open it up it will than say internal storage. then a folder, mine is labeled DCIM like many camera folder names, that is where all your saved photos are. i think you can only copy them from the folder to your hard drive, and you have to delete them on the iPad. i guess you can say it treats it like a huge flash drive but just with your saved photos

Saved Photos on iPad won't sync to iPhoto

I have something like 10,000 photos in the 'Saved Photos' section on my iPad (1st gen, 5.0.1). When I connect the iPad to my computer iTunes will open and sync, but when I open iPhoto the iPad does not show up as a device and I can't sync the saved photos. I'm not sure if Photo Stream would work, because I'm not sure the photos are saved in Photo Stream (there are just so many).

Read this for information on how to import photos to the Mac. It is really and easy process, but you can only import the photos in the camera roll - the photos that you took with the iPad or saved from emails and websites.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT408
Photos synced to the iPad do not sync back to the computer. They are already on the computer, so there is no reason to sync them back. You can import photos from the camera roll into iPhoto, but not synced photos.
When you create albums in the Photos app on the iPad, the albums are for local organization of the photos only. They do not contain copies of the actual photos either but merely pointers to those photos so that the photos will "appear" in those albums. Consequently there is no photo or any album to import back to the Mac.
If you created the albums in iPhoto on the Mac, reorganize them in albums that you want to send to a website for printing.

How do I import photos from my ipad that are not in the saved photos folder

I do have a saved photos album and was able to import those. However, I have several other folders and I can't figure out how to get the photos from my iPad to my new iMac. Or for that matter, into the saved photos folder. This is my first experience with iPhoto. Any help? Thanks!

If you want to remove all of your synced photos .....
Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes.
Select your iPad under the devices tab in the upper right or in the left sidebar, if you have the sidebar enabled.
Click on Photos at the top of the iTunes window on the right.
Uncheck the "Sync Photos From" heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
IF that doesn't work, create an empty folder on your desktop and call it "Empty Folder". Select that folder in the "Sync Photos From" heading in the photos tab of iTunes and then click on Apply. That will also remove all synced photos.

How do I stop duplicates of saved photos from being imported into iPhoto?

When I sych to iPhoto, I get duplicates of art work that I have in "Saved Photos". iPhoto doesn't screen out art work that I have created and added before making a lot of work to delete all the duplicates.

Photos you take on your iPhone are normally displayed in the Last 12 Months section of iPhoto. If you are using iPhoto to archive photos copy the photos from there to other albums in iPhoto instead of syncing them.
