Step backward multiple images after closing?

Hi, this is probably a really easy solution I'm just totally missing.
I can't think of/ find a way to go back in the history multiple steps, with multiple photos, after closing and re-opening Lightroom.
I've tried selecting the images I need and undo-ing with auto-sync on -nothing, tried doing it in the Library module -nothing.
I feel kind of dumb, but this seems like the solution should be more readily obvious.

I do not know of a way to do this in batch for several photos at the same time.
Do you have so many photos to undo?
I would go to develop module for each and go back in history, then move on to the next photo.
If you history steps are different for these photos I cannot imagine something else.
Or did you achieve the no-longer-desired steps for all photos in one go, by auto-synch'ing?
In that case it should work from develop module, too, to undo the history steps for one most-selected photo while auto-synch.

Displaying multiple images after uploading

Hi I am trying to create a site where I can upload multiple photos at once and have them be displayed on the master detail page
I have been following the tutorial on creating an image gallery and it is good.......
I have also found out about using the master detail function which is really really great, just what i was looking for.
So I can create my upload form with file upload and creat a list page which displays some of the data and a thumb and I can link one of the fields to the master detail page all good...... Now......
I would like more than one picture on the detail page.......
with say one main pic and about five other thumbs ( which can be linked to full size images) I would like this to all be done dynamically
So how do I do this?
Do I need to put multiple file upload fields in my upload form?
I am getting confused........
Any help would be really really nice
Have a nice day

Hi Charis
>Do I need to put multiple file upload fields in my upload form?
You can use the Dynamic List/Dynamic Form to get the uploads working as you wish. Dynamic lists can call a multiple insert transaction on dynamic forms. You then set one of the form fields to be file type and apply the upload behaviour to it. At the end you can call as many instances of the form from the dynamic list and upload all the images at once saving their informations to a db table at the same time
>would like more than one picture on the detail page.......
>with say one main pic and about five other thumbs ( which can be linked to full size images) I would like this to all be done dynamically
For this you need 2 recorsets: one for the main picture filtered by image_id (when you click the thumbnail you send the id as a url variable) and another for the thumbs (not filtered);
Use the Show Thumbnail server behaviour to create the thumbs and a Looper Wizard to loop through the records and show more than 1 thumb.

What to do with "multiple" images after editing

The general workflow I like to follow is
1- Take pictures
2- Copy pictures to computer
3- Add GPS information (optional)
4- Import photos to iPhoto
5- Flag photos that are worth editing/keeping
6- Edit photos in Flagged folder using PSE
7- Select the best photos to make an album
8- From the album make a book, slideshow, etc
What I'm confused about all the "thumbnails/images". I started with 750 photos and now have 1500. Many of the images look very similar since I may have just leveld the horizon.
Is there a quick way to select the images that have been edited?
Can I delete any of the originally edited photos without losing the edited file?
If I can't delete photos, is there a quick way to hide photos?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
-Alan

Are you using Photoshop from within iPhoto as the editor of choice? If so this might be of help or may be preaching to the choir:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (click on the Edit button) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.
With iPhoto 9.3 the external editor no longer creates a duplicate of the photo being edited if used from inside iPhoto. What version of iPhoto are you using and what system?

Batch "Place" gets off center after multiple images

This is sort of a hard one to explain. I'm trying to place a border and watermark over multiple images through the Place command. The image that I'm using to place is a .psd file with transparent background. The main images are tiff files. The problem is, that after a number of images that are changed, the placed image (border/watermark) gets off center by a few pixels each time and I end up with a border shifting to the right. How can I fix this? Here is my process:
1. Create action
2. Resize image to 1200x1800px 300dpi.
3. "Place" border/watermark image over top of main image. Center Position is 600px and 1200px. Scale 100.1% for each side
4. Flatten Image
5. Sharpen
6. Close action
7. I then select multiple images via Bridge and go to "Batch" or "Image Processor" and run it.
8. Over multiple images, the placed image "creeps" to the right by a pixel or two each image.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here? The placed image is the exact same size and orientation as the original images.

Ahh this is a huge help. This problem has been a thorn in my side for months. Thank you for the quick answer. Here is the list of my steps now...
1. Resize background image to whatever I need
2. Place overlay image (border/watermark) and "enter"
3. Select All
4. Layer > Align layers to selection > Vertical Centers
5. Layer > Align layers to selection > Horizontal Centers
6. Flatten Image
Works great, as long as the placed image is the same size as the background image.

Saving multiple images while in bridge after editing in CR

I have a question involving saving multiple images while in Bridge after they were edited in camera raw PS CS4. I usually view my images in Bridge and select the ones I want to edit in camera raw. I then open the images in camera raw and make the edits which I want to the first image of the group. I then click on the select all button on the top left corner. I then click on the sychronize button and choose the edits from CR which I want to carry through the whole group of images. I then click on the save images button on the bottom left of the CR page. This now brings me back to bridge where I'm looking at the images in their edited version.
This is where the question begins. At this point, I thought the edited made in CR were saved to the images folder located on my computer. But up to this point when Ive gone back to the image folder and looked at the images they were still in their original unedited state although the edited versions showed up in Bridge.
At the point, where I am looking at the edited photos in bridge, do I have to go through another step to save the edited images in Bridge so they will transfer over to the image folder where the images are stored in my computer?

I was looking for the metdata in another window. Ok . I found it and HQ thumbs was checked already. I can see the edits from CR in the Bridge window.
After I check save image in CR, does the edited info get saved only to Bridge or should that be saved all the way to my image folder?
The problem is that when I exist Bridge and look in the image folder the changes I made in CR are not there. How do I get those changes from CR saved to my computer (my pictures)?

Fastest way to add multiple images, one after the other, in DW5.5

There has to be a faster way to add multiple images, one after the other, in a web page rather than just dragging each from the Files tab w/in DW 5.5
I was a little surprized I couldn't select multiple images and just drag a block and have DW just insert an img tag with empty alts and the source path but maybe there is some options I just haven't found?
I tried using Bridge to generate a quick html slideshow/gallery but it creates skads of divs and such... I just have to update an older site and was looking for an efficient way to add a bunch of images (random names ugh so just copying-pasting one and changing names is still more manual) that lie next to each other, no breaks inbetween....seems an ideal automated situation.
I'd settle for an external script or app or something because they come in blocks of 25 approx and I have all my actions in PS set up to size appropriately which is nice so I just wondered if there was something good for this low-level production task.
Thanks

Thanks. Yes, I started writing a script but I just wondered if there were hidden gems in DW....so many programs do more than they are intended to do nowadays, I had to ask people who use it more!
Actually, the fastest was to just dupe one line of code, paste x amount and then just use the pick-wip to point and drag. That at least cut the menu out of the equation.
I thought I remembered doing a batch insert years ago..maybe in GoLive or before Adobe had DW? DW and GoLive are the only GUI html editors I've ever used..but, may it was just something out of an ealier photoshop...they've taken good stuff out and put good stuff in so many times that I can only remember so much!

Why after the last Photoshop CC Update the Lasso Tool not more have the Backspace step backward -Fun

Why after the last Photoshop CC Update the Lasso -Tools not more have the Backspace-last-point-step-backward -Funktion?? This is terrible!!
So i can not work more. Please change immediately with a next update!! Please..

Good day!
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
Also I can not reproduce the issue you claim to have with 14.2 on Mac OS 10.8.5.
What is your OS?

Image remains after closing window.

Hi!
I just purchased my first LCD display (23" Apple) and I immediately noticed an anomaly. When I have a window open, such as mail, after closing, the image of the window remains faintly on the desk top. I can even read the title of the last email etc. The image slowly fades away and disappears but it's somewhat unnerving. An image even remained from the previous user after I switched.
Is this common? Just a "thing" that LCDs do? After all the hype about xboxes burning in on plasma TVs, I'm a little paranoid.
Thanks to all for your advice and council !
Jeff

Hey Jeff -
I had a problem with my 23 ghosting a good while back, but I changed the desktop and I haven't noticed it since, I have read of others mentioning the problem, try searching this folder for "ghost".
This document has some information but from reading posts in the past I suspect the ghosting is partially a hardware issue and some monitors of the same model have it worse than others.

Copy Settings to multiple images - STILL A NOT WORKING AFTER MANY VERSIONS!

I have reported the problem of pasting settings to multiple images for many versions and this simple bug is STILL present in LR4!
In develop module, make changes to an image, click Copy button, select settings to copy.
Now, select a range or a number of images to which you want to paste the settings, click Paste button. Guess what? Only the first image gets the settings!
This functionality should work and is even documented in the manual. There are other ways of copying settings but I can never remember how to do this.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a genuine bug that only seems to affect a few people (I did a web search for V3), or do people just not use this function?
Please developers, fix this bug if it really is a bug!

Thanks Dorin for the information.
I guess I am just frustrated that the program does not work the way it is documented. There are two very prominent buttons, Copy & Paste and they don't work as documented or as you would expect them to.
With sync you have to navigate menus to do what one click of the mouse should accomplish. All I want is some acknowledgement from Adobe that this is a bug and for it to be adressed. As a long-time IT person I know this would be VERY easy to fix. If it cannot be fixed then update the documentation.
Oh well, enough said. I still love LR!!!

Firefox claims that it is already running and will not let me start a new session after closing out

I've been having this problem intermittently on both my Dell XPS 8000 and my HP nx7400 laptop. The Dell is running the latest version of Windows 7 Pro and the HP is running XP Pro (fully updated). After closing out of a Firefox session and running other apps, Firefox will not let me initiate another session, saying that "Firefox is already running... Please close the session..." That's not an exact quote, but you get the idea. CTRL-ALT-DEL and all other conventional means don't work and I am forced to reboot the system. This is a royal pain.. and I need some pain relief! Any suggestions? I may revert to an earlier version of Firefox until I see a solution... can't hurt, but I really like 4.0 and I don't look at going backwards as "progress."
Thanks.
Tom

Step Backward Not Always Working with Brush Tool

I'm usually painting in photoshop and I undo a lot using the Opt+Cmd+Z shortcut. It works about 4/5 times I do it, but sometimes it just stops working. I either need to switch to a different tool, so just make a random brush stroke on the canvas and then it will start working again. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I'm using Photoshop CC on Mac OSX. The problem I'm having is not the inability to step backwards--I can get it to work by making a random brush stroke and then it will work again--but since it happens after every four or five "step backwards" commands it is really slowing my workflow. I'm constantly redoing lines multiple times in a few seconds when I'm drawing and it's really getting annoying.

Loading multiple images in IE...

Hi,
I encountered a very strange problem (probably bug) while
loading multiple images from IE. Flash is very simple (code is
stripped version of match larger program) it contains simple for
loop that loads image 20 times, and COMPLETE handler that position
image.
Running application from Flash IDE is ok, but if user run
flash embeded into html from IE (IDE auto generated html) and
interrupt loading (closes IE tab (not whole IE, just tab)) next
load of same html stop working. What is event more strange, is that
image url entered in addres field of IE will not work?!?!
To conclude, to reproduce this behavior: run html from IE and
close tab in middle of loading process (after few images loaded).
Running html again will not work (or typing image url into
address). NOTE that tab must be closed (not whole IE). Closing IE
and running html again will work normaly.
Is there any idea how to correct this? Note that I used
different image links, and any of them have same behavior, so i
excluded url as error.
P.S. I use IE 7 under the Vista, but IE 7 with XP also have
same behavior.
Thanks

If you mean that image service have simultaneous download
limit, it does not. We have number of tile-generating services, and
also prerendered images, and on every system we have same issue.
Also, any flash-based map that load tiles are prone for this
error (e.g. yahoo maps, flashearth even google flash maps).
P.S. On Firefox it works ok.

D300 - Erasing Images After Import

After importing images from the camera, I don't get an option to erase the memory card in the camera - just a "Transfer Complete" kind of dialog with a single "OK" button. Anyone experienced similar behavior?
Thanks...

This was my thinking also. I've been using Aperture since its inception with a D50 and it always gave me the option to "Erase and Eject" memory card after picture transfer was complete. I always felt "safer" knowing my pics were on my Mac so I'd just erase the card at that time. Never had any issues with the memory cards or the camera doing it this way. I could then just grab it and run. It's not a huge deal to format the card after transfer, just seems like an added step is all. It just seems like something that used to work fine and now doesn't, sort of a step backward for Aperture.

Help with loading multiple images via LoadVars

Hello everybody.
I need a hand loading multiple images using the LoadVars
method with a text file. I can get it to load 1 image but not
anymore than that. I am aware of other methods like using
components but I am looking for a method where I can access and
change all data from 1 text file (there will be text variable text
within the file aswell to, but I am more concerned with the images
at the moment).
Anyway on to the issue. I have created a much simple .fla
file that outlines my problem.
The movie contains 3 layers:
- top layer contains AS
- middle layer contains an empty movie clip with the
instance name of mcImage1
- bottom layer contains an empy movie clip with the instance
name of mcImage2
The AS layer contains the following code:
imagedata = new LoadVars()
imagedata.load("data.txt")
imagedata.onLoad = function(ok){
if(ok){
mcImage1.loadMovie(this.Image1)
mcImage2.loadMovie(this.Image2)
} else trace("Problem Loading")
In the same folder of my .swf file I have a text file called
data.txt which contains the following
&Image1=image1.gif
&Image2=image2.gif
Also in the same folder of my .swf file I have two images
image1.gif and image2.gif.
When I run the flash the image2.gif is imported correctly.
image1.gif does not appear.
You can download my source files and all images here
http://www.myrealpage.com/projects/var_test/var_test.zip
Any help that can be shed on this problem is much
appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Glad to help. It is just that I see so many folks who have
two different parts of a problem smushed together – each
problem isn't so hard on its own, but together they are difficult
to wrap your head around. Always try and break down each step of
the problem and it will help you in the end.
That being said, I'm not quite so sure on this next problem.
I don't do so much timeline stuff along with the Actionscript. I
can get tricky. So this I don't quite have as much of clear mental
picture of what you are describing. But here are some questions
that I would ask – either of myself if I was doing it or of
you.
Is there a stop() on frame one to wait for the
LoadVars.onLoad? Does the onLoad then say to play?
If not, what happens if we get to Frame 10 before the
LoadVars has even finished? That could be a problem.
Remember that the LoadVars object is an actual object that
will exist until it is deleted or removed in various ways. You can
access it at any time after it is loaded. The onLoad event handler
is just that thing you want to happen immediately after it is
loaded.
So my design would probably be.
LoadVars on Frame 1.
Where I am stopped.
In the onLoad handler load the first image and tell the
timeline to play
On frame 10, the LoadVars object will still exist (unless
you've deleted it)
Get the variable out of the LoadVars and load the image.
If you want to check this. Put a stop() in frame 10 and run
it in the testing environment. When it gets to that frame, go to
the debug menu and List Variables. You should see that your
LoadVars object is still there.
Does that answer your question or am I totally missing the
point?

"step backward" command maintain current layer selection

It is said that even in past versions of Photoshop,Please make "step backward" command maintain current layer selection (like the "undo" command's behavior).
The current "step backward" layer change issue is inconvenient because it causes unnexpected layer selection change.
When I was talking about this issue on Twitter,over 200 persons' approval was obtained in one day.
I know how to avoid in the script,but we hope as a standard feature.

Yeah, I noticed that too.
For those who don't know what this is about, here's a sample scenario. Let's say you're working on an image.
1. You happen to have an adjustment layer selected.
2. Now you want to work on an image layer below, so you click on it.
3. You use the Clone Tool on the image layer a couple of times.
4. You don't like how it came out, so you click on the same History step that was active during step 1.
5. You try to Clone again, but you find that the History change has caused the Adjustment layer to be selected as it was before step 2.
The real base issue is that since the Clone Tool is still selected, we tend to think we can just keep cloning after going back in the History, when in fact we really need to repeat step 2 again. On paper this seems pretty straightforward, but in practice one almost never remembers to check which layer is selected.
Maybe an option to store the layer selections as History steps would help with this. Then we would tend to go back to just after the proper layer was selected.
