Selecting photos to upload (keyboard shortcut)

Hi
I heard a tip a while ago explaining how to select just the photos you want to upload from your memory card. Usually iPhoto uploads everything (or asks if you want duplicates or not) but there is also a time saving hack that lets you select just the files you want to upload. This would be really useful for me as I share the camera with my partner and want to avoid deleting her images first. I cant for the life of me remember what the keyboard shortcut is. Can anyone help?

I though I had read that a long while ago but cannot find it now. You're best bet is to use Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, to preview and manually upload to iPhoto. IC's preferences are where you set which application to open when a camera or card reader is connected.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto 11: Will not allow me to select photos for upload

Hello my knowledgeable compadres. I have installed iLife 11 and am running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 on a MacBookPro. I have had no problems with iPhoto 09 but since I've upgraded to the latest version, I am unable to select photos to upload to email, facebook, web pages or anywhere else. Interesting variation is that some photos are selectable; others are not. They are all jpg format so I am at a loss. I can't select photos from within iPhoto to edit; I can't click and select photos from the photos icon in the finder; I can't select any photos from the dialogue between Facebook & iPhoto and it's driving me crazy. I've had my Mac since 2008.Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Bernardine

when I attempt to select the photo from the preview pane in iphoto, it either is inert or, allows me to select it but the photo goes to black with a grey alert symbol on it and disappears in either a close up view or edit window.
The exclamation point - ! - turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. Your problem isn't selecting files, its that iPhoto can't find the file you've selected.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager 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, faces and places 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.

Universal keyboard shortcut to launch Finder?

I know that when I have Finder selected I can press Apple key +N to launch a new Finder window, or Apple key +up arrow to lauch the Home folder.
But is there a universal keyboard shortcut to launch any of these when I have another app selected?
For example if I have Safari selected is there a keyboard shortcut to launch Finder instead of clicking on the desktop to deselect Safari/select Finder & then hitting Apple key +up arrow or N?
Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3, 2.5 GB RAM, 20 Cinema Display Mac OS X (10.4.4)

It works, thanks a lot
The keyboard shorctut is a little awkward so I've changed it to Control +A then Return.
Thanks again.

Can I-Photo Events be closed with a keyboard shortcut ?

If I open an event or events containing, for example, 100 photos, can I close that event without scrolling to the top and clicking the delta arrow?
Can I close all open events with a keyboard shortcut?

When I open an event, the "All Events" arrow is always visible at the top of the window. No need to scroll. So, I'm kind of confused. However, you can hit Tab which will move the focus to the library list, selecting Events. Arrow down to photos and then back to Events. Tab again to move focus the the events pane.

Keyboard shortcut to open a cells pop-up menu and select from list of options.

I guessed Option-Return would be the shortcut from this, as it typically lets you edit a cells contents, but no. Read the keyboard Shortcuts list in Numbers>Help but didn't see anything.

Hi ts,
Thanks for drawing my attention to this! Let's add some missing detail…
While "you just press spacebar" to open the pop-up menu, that won't select a menu item.
After you've opened the menu, 'you could press the first letter' of an entry, ( 'like every other pop-up list on Earth,') or you could press the down arrow to step down the list (and the up arrow to step up, if you went beyond the item you wanted to choose).
And you can change your mind; the menu will stay open until you confirm your choice (by pressing the space bar again, OR by pressing return OR by pressing enter).
Note that pressing the first letter will select the 'smallest' item name beginning with that letter. To move to another item name starting with that letter, you'll need to use the up or down arrow key (or the mouse).
Thanks again for posting. With luck, WideEyedPupil will still be monitoring this discussion, and will see these posts.
Regards,
Barry

I select photo from iPhoto,go to share:email, photo uploaded to email, type in address, click send, pop up window appears with: email did not go thru because server did not reply - now what, how do I fix?

I select my photos from iPhoto, go to toolbar, click share and email, photo is uploaded onto email screen and I add photo info and type in my
email address, click send at the bottom of page and it after a minute or two, a pop up appears with the message: your email did not go through
because your server did not reply. Have sent the same photo to my email address with no problem just to doublecheck. Why will it not
send out to other email addresses? Thank you.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there. Now add it back and try again.
A more reliable method is to set Mail as the email Client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane. The Mail client is more reliable, gives you better access to your Contacts, gives you a sent copy and has photo themes similar to iPhoto's in its stationary section.

Looking for app to quickly with keyboard shortcut (i.e. Control R) resize photos like I can do with Irfanview in Windows

Hello,
I am trying to switch from Windows to OSX but must first find Mac equivalent solutions for daily tasks performed in Windows.
1. I am looking for an app to quickly resize photos using keyboard shortcuts, i.e. Control + R, just like I can do with Irfanview in Windows.
2. I am looking for an app which will quickly resize multiple photos like I can do with Irfanview.
3. I am looking for another (or the same) light weight app to quickly convert and combine one or more jpgs to PDF. The windows app I am currently using is called JPEGtoPDF from www.compulsivecode.com.
Many thanks for helping me switch to OSX!

Keyboard shortcuts in Photo CS6 not working correctly.

Keyboard shortcuts are working sporadically. For instance, when using select all, copy, paste shortcuts to copy from one image to another in a different tab it can take 2 presses of the keyboard to get them to work. This also makes actions unuseable.
Using MacPro 2.66 Nehalem 8 core, OS 10.6.8, 32GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4870
Have tried:
Adjusting Performance in preferences -currently 25062 memory usage, history states 20, cache levels8, cache level 1024, use graphics processor ticked. Have changed all of these settings with no effect on problem.
Closed all other programs(including all browsers).
Removed any plug-ins.
Closed flash panels namely mini bridge.
Having to revert to an older version of Photoshop at the moment as dodgy Keyboard shortcuts make CS6 unuseable. Also have a problem with Camera Raw which I have raised in another Discussion that makes it unuseable also.
Suggestions welcomed.

Keyboard shortcuts for text selection not working in Flash CC

In the new Code Editor in Flash CC running on Mac OS X, most standard Keyboard Shortcuts for traversing through the text work as expected (as the Operating System works globally) but there is one that doesn't and it's I think the most important one.
Hitting "OPTION + SHIFT + [right or left arrow keys]" to select words doesn't work. Hitting "OPTION + [right or left arrow keys]" works as expected, moving the cursor to the next word or break point, but adding shift doesn't do the selection.
I don't understand why this changed since it's a basic OS global shortcuts, and every other program behaves the way it should. Flash CS6 running on the same system behaves fine, but Flash CC doesn't. If you have ever written code, you know that any second that a programmers hand doesn't have to leave the keyboard to search for the mouse is invaluable, and this has forced me to stop using Flash CC and use Flash CS6 to edit my Action Script classes becuase it's unusable otherwise.
These shortcuts are also not listed in the keyboard shortcuts for the program, so I can't change the default behavior. Does anybody know if there's a way to set it back to the way it was before, or just disable special text shortcuts so that selecting text behaves like any other application in the operating system?
System Configuration:
Flash CC
Mac OSX 10.8.5

Amy~ Yep the lasso tool was what I verified with another user. 'L' seems to be bound indefinitely to loop through different types of lasso tools and it was annoying them because they just wanted L to be the regular freehand lasso. I removed 'L' from being an option on the polygon lasso and even set it explicitly to SHIFT+L as well as set the lasso tool to a completely different keyboard combo. 'L' still cycled through lassos haha. It needs some fixes.
fertolg~ At least you have a workaround for now. I'd go nuts if I couldn't use keyboard text selection writing code, oy! You're welcome and if you're all set please mark correct so we can filter unanswered. Good luck!

What is the keyboard shortcut to select all the white in a layer

Do you mean ctrl-clicking the Composite Channel icon in the Channels Panel?

Why is the keyboard shortcut for 'Select next input source' disabled when using Safari?

I'm using Safari 6.0.5 and am running 10.8.4 on a MacBook Pro 13" from last year.
I've been using Chrome and Firefox heavily recently, but switched to Safari to give it a chance. It's really nice and lightweight, which suits me.
However, for some reason unbeknownst to me, the keyboard shortcut 'Select next input source' is disabled in Safari, in all windows/input methods.
Since I constantly switch input methods, this is incredibly frustrating.
It persists after quit + restart.
Any ideas?

Yes, just Safari. In Chrome, Firefox and all other applications it works as expected.

Keyboard shortcuts to select develop sliders

For those people who like to minimize their mouse kilometers, it would be useful to have keyboard shortcuts to *select* individual sliders in the develop module. [See also the specific request for an exposure shortcut that recently came up in this thread:
shawnmoore, "What is the Lightroom keyboard shortcut for Exposure?" #, 27 Aug 2007 9:10 pm ]
Keyboard shortcuts for individual sliders would be particularly convenient for people using programmable controllers (i.e. the Contour Design Shuttle). You could assign the shortcut to a programmable key (on button for 'exposure', for example) and then use the shuttle/scroll wheel to adjust the corresponding value.
Now, I realize that Lightroom is quickly running out of available shortcut keys, so I suggest to couple them to the active panel. Currently, ctrl+[number] (on Windows) selects the n-th panel on the panel set on the right hand side, i.e. ctrl+1 -> basic, ctrl+2 -> tone curve. My proposal would be to use ctrl+F[number] to select the n-th slider (or other control) *within* that panel. Then, the up/down arrows could be used to adjust the values.
Any opinions?
Simon

**Update: I will try and re-write this to inject the shift-up/down instead of using mouse movements ** Here's a quick hack to do the same for Windows using www.AutoHotKey.com I would like it if LR would add exposure, fill, black, as nudge shortcuts so that I can reprogram my Logitech G15 to call the same. NOTE: This can go very weird if you computer speed is different to mine. If you find the mouse pointer disappears, close LR, and increase the Sleep 500 below. <WinKey>2 = Black Minus <WinKey>3 = Black Plus <WinKey>4 = Fill Minus <WinKey>5 = Fill Plus <WinKey>6 = Exp Minus <WinKey>7 = Exp Plus ; Code Starts #IfWinActive, Lightroom #2::LRMouseMove( 10, -2) ; Black Clipping, Minus #3::LRMouseMove( 10, 2) ; Black Clipping, Plus #4::LRMouseMove( 40, -5) ; Fill, Minus #5::LRMouseMove( 40, 5) ; Fill, Plus #6::LRMouseMove(115,-10) ; Exposure, Minus #7::LRMouseMove(115, 10) ; Exposure, Plus LRMouseMove(x,dx) { MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos BlockInput, MouseMove ControlGetPos, cx, cy, w, h, AfxWnd80u82 MouseMove, X+CX, CY+50, 1 MouseClickDrag, L, 0, 0, DX, 0, 0, R Sleep 500 MouseMove, XPOS, YPOS, 1 BlockInput, MouseMoveOff Exit } #IfWinActive ; Code Ends

Acrobat Pro 7 Keyboard Shortcut to select multiple bookmarks

I am looking for the keyboard shortcut equivalent of ctrl-left mouse to select multiple bookmarks. Either it can't be done or it is something obscured to my mind.

I'm afraid the exact functionality you're looking for is not available.
With the Edit Selection Tool (aka the G key) activated, you can select the edit points when you marquee drag, rather than selecting the clips themselves. When you select multiple edit points in this manner, it will bring up the Trim Edit window with the highest video layer selected (or, if you've selected only audio, with the lowest audio track selected) but you cannot toggle edit directions for individual tracks.
If you must ripple in different directions, the only method that comes to mind is to activate the Ripple tool, then press Shift and Command while selecting the specific end of the edit point. You can then ripple in different directions using the [ & ] keys (or with Shift for multi-frame ripples).

Keyboard shortcut to select table strokes?

Hi,
I was wondering if there's any quick way to select table strokes?
Cheers,
Trish

In the Keyboard Shortcut Editor (bottom of the Edit menu), you can assign a hotkey to "Cell Options:Stroke & Fill". That's in the Tables Menu product area. It calls up the generic Cell Options dialog, but at least the stroke proxy is a bit larger there!
