Smart "managed images" album

When I switched to Referenced images, I adopted Karen Buckland's trick (thanks, Karen!) of making a smart album to keep track of any images that are still Managed for some reason, so I could then relocate them as referenced.
When I send an image to Photoshop and save, I know it comes back in as managed. It also comes back as part of a stack (created when Aperture creates a PSD version to send to Photoshop). But the image won't show up in the "managed images" smart album as long as it's in a stack.
Is there any possible way to have a smart album recognize this, and have it include managed images that are part of a stack?

In the smart album query hud, check the box at the bottom to ignore stack groupings.

Disconnected managed images after data recovery

First of all, hello to all of you willing to help me,
I am on a trip around the globe with limited internet access and only my mac, a camera and now three external hdd (and my wife G). Hence, not many options to deal with technical problems. Further more am I a fairly new, meaning un-experinced aperture user.
The problem:
After b-tree header error, DiskWarrior usage, relocation of aperture library (and all other restorable data) to new external hdd is aperture not willing to identify the current location of most of the pix I once had in the library (10.000+). The pictures in one "project" and all sub folders/albums are connected and usable as ever. The rest shows a little badge in the right hand corner with a red line crossing a square from the bottom left to the upper right corner.
Before the b-tree header error, I had all "masters" as "managed images".
Now most images are still physically in the library when I control-click on the library and take a look into the package.
I tried to reconnect the pictures within aperture. But this is not do able. If I select more then one image and follow the instructions from the manual it wont give me the option to reconnect the pix. If I choose one image - it works. But searching through the directories for 10.000+ pictures by hand can't be the final solution.
Moreover, the repair library option does not start when I try it with alt-cmd-dbl click.
What shall I do? Any solutions?
Thanks for any help in advance!
P.S.
if I did not use the correct terms in english forgive me please. I work on a german language setting.

First of all it means you have had your masters Referenced, and now connection has been lost, for now.
Did you think they were Managed? Sounds like you need to reconnect to the source drive for your masters, either one or more?

MobileMe Sync Mess--How did I get managed images?

I see that I have a number of managed images.... they seem to be related to my previously created MobileMe galleries that were created with another AP library or perhaps some were done without AP.
So, this is a mess.... I don;t want AP littering my library with stuff it finds on the internet...
Aso, I see the import sessions has blossomed to a large number.... it seems as it was syncing with MobileMe every 3 pics or so it created a new import session..... is that crazy or what?
Any thoughts about dealing with these issues???
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,
I'll be honest, I am having a hard time following what you are saying so I'll do my best to hopefully give you some guidance.
Currently, Aperture will show all the photos you sync with Mobile Me in your Aperture library. That is to say that if you select an album, and it contains photos that are not currently in your Aperture library, those photos will now appear. This may not be the desired behavior for you but there really isn't a way to have them not appear. The same would go for the import sessions, it may not be how you want it to work but that is currently how the application behaves. I would suggest writing feedback at www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
Cheers,
Owen

How to manage image in a column of a table

Hi all,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 and ADF faces.
I would like to have a table with a column to save an image. After that I would like to have a page .jspx that visualize the fields of the table, including the image.
I would like to know how I have to do:
1) in the database to save the image
2) to visualize and manage images on my .jspx page
I have read something on the forum and googling, but I have found threads of one-two years ago, and I don't know if they give to me the right solution for my version of Jdeveloper.
Can you give me a step by step procedure to solve my problem? Do you have any links to suggest me?
Regards
Andrea

We did a web app a while ago and used image files for warehouse to show images of parts
1. BLOB
2. We didn't use adf. also I am using 10.1.3.4.

How to create an images album in dreamweaver?

Hi all, I would like to create a little image album for show architectural projects in a portfolio on line.
For the moment I just did a very very simple site, and I'm not expert.
I've found some guides but is always request fireworks in addition, and I've not it.
So, is possible do the vizualization of an album just in dreamweaver?
Thank you all.
Pietro

I enjoyed looking at your site.
I think you might also take a look at implementing a Lightbox gallery. This takes a little setting up and uses Javascript and there are lots of variations. I've used one called thickbox on this site.
Most of the lightbox clones are well documented and easy to implement. You would need to build a gallery page of thumbnail images and have a folder of the larger images and after that, the lightbox clone does the rest. I think that you could easily build a thumbnail gallery yourself that would keep to your minimalist theme of the site.

GPS Metadata for Managed Images Bug

Alright this is really dumb. Aperture strips the GPS metadata for managed images on a version export, but does not for referenced files.
It just took me 4 hours to figure that out, ug. Metadata is sacred! Always preserve it.

My Aperture library uses managed masters.
I too discovered that if I performed *version exports* of geotagged masters the exported images did not retain the GPS data. The problem was the same regardless of whether the masters were .jpgs or RAW files. (Geotagging was performed with Maperture and Maperture Pro; the bug symptoms are the same regardless of which tool was used.)
Additionally, I discovered that if I performed *master exports*, then not only were the geotags retained in the exported files, but that +reimporting those same exports resulted in new masters whose versions would subsequently retain their geotags on version export+.
synonym wrote:
If you Relocate Masters... BEFORE you add GPS metadata using Maperture you don't lose any IPTC metadata. If you then Consolidate Masters... you can then apply GPS metadata to these images within your Aperture library and you will not lose IPTC or the GPS data on exporting the versions.
If I'm reading this correctly it sounds like you can "scrub" your library of the problem by relocating masters and then consolidating them again, and that subsequently applied geotags (and by inference IPTC metadata) will be retained on new version exports. Did I get that right?
However if you already have loads of images in your Aperture library that you have added GPS data to with Maperture and you also have loads of IPTC metadata on them and adjustments what do you do?
I did a backup of the library at this point to a vault. I then restored the vault and GPS data and IPTC metadata was all retained and was also all retained on exporting versions!
And if I'm reading the last sentence of your post correctly, it seems like the consistent behavior between our two situations is that if *images are brought into the library with geotags already in them* - in your case by library restoration and in my case by re-importation of previously geotagged masters - *then the geotags will be retained on subsequent master and version exports*.
Is that a valid conclusion to draw? If so, it sounds like I could workaround the problem of geotags missing from my version exports by either A) relocating and then consolidating my masters, or B) by the three-step process of:
1) geotagging my images,
2) updating the vault, and then
3) restoring my library from the vault.

How do you delete the images in the Iphone images album. Not the camera roll. There is an album called Iphone images and there is not a delete option

How do you delete the images in the Iphone images album. Not the camera roll. There is an album called Iphone images and there is not a delete option

The same way you put them on the phone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, click on the name of the iPhone, then the Photo tab. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone and click Sync.

Is there a way to flip through an image album ?

On some websites that use images albums you could flip through them on my computer and on the chrome app but not the Firefox app. Is there a plug in or something that will allow me to do that ?

It would depend on the site please provide an example.

Best way to manage images in a swing app

Hi.
I have a swing app that uses alot of images around 100+ at around 40kb each.
I am currently using new ImageIcon("icon\\main.png")) to create them.
Is this the most efficient way to manage images?
Would it be more efficeint to store then in the mysql database?
and / or use SwingWorker (http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/SwingWorker.html)
Cheers
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
It depends on what you want to be more efficient:
1) CPU cycles
2) Reducing jar size
3) Ease of maintenance
4) Prevent typing errors in file names
For me, number 3 and 4 are important. So, what I generally do, is create an enum that desribes the images that are contained in the same package as the enum. Now I'm able to change the package name with no consequence. I only have to type the filename once and know when I have to double check of what I type. Something like this:
package org.pbjar.geom.images;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
public enum Images {
    AUTHOR_SMALL("TheAuthor.jpg"),
    AUTHOR_LARGE("PietKopLarge.jpg"),
    private final String filename;
    Images(String filename) {
     this.filename = filename;
    public ImageIcon getIcon() {
     return new ImageIcon(getImage());
    public BufferedImage getImage(){
     try {
         return ImageIO.read(getURL());
     } catch (IOException e) {
         throw new RuntimeException(e);
    public URL getURL() {
     return this.getClass().getResource(filename);
}Piet

Content Managed Image Gallery

I am looking to see if there is an image gallery available
out there that I can use in DreamWeaver that will allow my client
to upload images, add categories and captions and the likes. I know
nothing of dynamic development so I guess I am looking for some
type of extension, or 3rd party effort that I can embed into the
site, yet maintain the site's identity. Sure sounds like I am
asking for too much I know, but...
Thanks in advance!

Would depend entirely on the scope of the original term
"Content Managed
Image Gallery". I have used PVII's ImageGalleryMagic on my
brother's site
in both a STATIC and a DYNAMIC mode -
http://www.wildimages.biz/w_galleries.php
The Wild Horses are STATIC, and the rest are DYNAMIC (MySQL).
The static stuff is easy as pie. The dynamic is custom-built,
but not
difficult. I used IGM from PVII and DataAssist from
WebAssist. What I like
about DataAssist is that the code is pretty simple to
understand and to
customize - that certainly wasn't my experience with ADDT.
But each person
will be different, you know? Let me hasten to say that DA
alone will not do
this for you - you cannot avoid getting into the code. A case
in point
would be the image uploading for the galleries....

Managed image not found

I was doing a relocate originals to get the masters out of my vault and into a backed up system. After it was "done", there is one file that says "image not found". However, I can find the image file. How can I get Aperture to not see it as a managed image (that isn't in its vault) and instead to be a referenced image where I can point it to the file?
Thanks in advance,
Alan
Aperture 3.4.4

The message in the vault panel can be misleading. It will also count files in the Photo Stream. Are you using Photo Stream?
If Aperture relocated your images, you will be able to use the command "File > Show in Finder". Try that on some files in the project in question. If aperture still has the file indexed as "managed", the Show in Finder should be grayed out.
If your files are truely managed, you will see them in the Library package. Ctrl-click the Aperture library and use the command "Show Package Contents". Open the folder "Masters" and navigate to the subfolder of the date, when you imported the project. Managed originals should be stored there.

Léonie
Ah-ha! Yes, it's PhotoStream well, 155 of them are. The reast are in various sub-folders under Masters but they aren't the master files (those are definitely disk outside of the Library) and they are very small - <100k and the ones I've looked at are 720x540 whereas the originals were either 2048x1536 (iPhone 4S) or 3888x2592 (CanonEOS400D) so I don't know where they've come from The only clue is that the pixel size is the size of Std Def TV (UK PAL).
I take it that PhotoStream images are Managed and can't be Referenced? Any idea where the others may have come from? I take it that it wouldn't be wise to go deleting them!!

File Size for Rasterized vs. Smart Object Images

Hello,
I am scaling smaller images up to the full canvas size for a project (around 200% of original size). I have tried scaling images up as both a smart object, and also converting it to a rasterized layer, then scaling it up. I noticed that almost every time I leave the image a smart object and then scale the image up and save it for web, it is a smaller filesize than if I would convert it to a rasterized layer and then save it for web (sometimes up to 5% smaller). Does anyone know why this happens, or if it is changing the quality of the image by leaving it as a smart object?
Note: I am using very large images, with an original filesize of 1-3 MB.
Thanks for the help!

EDIT: Just to clarify, I am talking about the JPEG image file size being smaller, not the PSD file size
I do have maximum compatibiliy set for my PSD.
I am saving out all my images for this experiment out as a JPEG at 50% quality. I attached a screenshot of my save for web settings.
I also attached the rasterized image and the smart object image. I also attached the scaled down version of the image, which is what I am scaling up to create the rasterized and smart object images. Let me know if this is what you need to fully examine, and thank you for the help!
Here is the rasterized image:
Here is the smart object image:

Divide Smart Playlists into Albums

Can I somehow divide my Smart Playlists into albums? In iTunes on my computer a whole list comes up and yes, I can see the songs and albums, but on my iPod the playlist is just one long list of songs. Also, on the left side of iTunes if I want to play a certain album from say Jack Johnson, I've got to click on Jack Johnson before I can choose and play a specific album. Can I change this for Smart Playlists or do I have to convert everything into regular playlists?

I'm not clear on exactly what it is you're asking. You can set Smart Playlists for just about any criteria you want, so it would be easy to create a Smart Playlist to just select out all tracks by a particular artists.
If you want your iPod to show Artists or Albums so you don't have to search through a playlist, go into the iPod's Settings and set the Main Menu setting to show artists, albums or both.

Accessing Aperture managed images from Adobe Bridge

If I import images as managed, is there any way I can use Adobe Bridge to view them?
Thank you.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Aperture 1.5.2

What you could do is to create a smart folder in the finder, which shows all the image files in the Aperture library. This is functionality built in to OS X 10.4 -- it's part of Spotlight.
When you viewed this folder from Bridge, you'd be able to see the image files. The only issue is, they would all appear in one long list -- which could be a real pain if you had 10,000+ images.
Also, it's likely that in that case that Bridge would spray XMP files inside the Aperture folder -- something I would be leery of.
IMO if you want to view the RAW files from Bridge, you should move to a referenced setup. With Aperture 1.5 converting between the two is a cinch.

Smart Folder and Album option

I'm trying to make a Smart Folder inside a project where have all the photos that are not inside any album. Is it possible?
thank you!
max

no. it's not possible with Aperture. you'll have to work around this limitation.
in my library, I use keywords including one ' unidentified'. when I decide to place an image into a smart album, I first apply the appropriate keyword and then remove (shift-click the keyword control button) the ' unidentified' keyword.
