Understanding File Import Images VS File Import Folders into a Project

Hello,
When I select the "File>Import>Images" command, images go straight into my project, no album is created.
When when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder containing subfolders, it will map the folder to a Project and subfolders to albums. OK.
However, when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder with NO subfolders, images are put in an Album anyway. Why is that?
Is it possible to avoid the creation of an album and have images straight in the Project?
Thanks,

You're right. Me alone is nothing. But if a high % of A2 users think like me, then maybe this feature needs some polishing.
The REALLY simple work around is to delete the album. The images won't go with it, and it's faster than retyping the name.
Good, that's the workaround I needed. For some reasons I was under the impression that deleting the album would delete the the images as well. I guess I'm still not used to that project-album concept.
You could hit Command + Delete on a hundred Projects and do less work than you've done on this one thread.

Import images edited in LIghtroom 4 into Photoshop Elements 11.

I wnat to import images I have edited in Lightroom into Photoshop Elements. It will only allow me to import the original RAW file and not the XMP Sidecar file. I get the message "File type not supported. Can anyone help? John

The usual method is not to start Elements, and then try to get ("import") the edited image from LR (or, from disk). This is a more laborious approach, also limiting: for example you cannot externally edit a LR "virtual copy" this way.
LR is designed to be the front-end, which pushes the LR-edited image out to Elements on demand (which will then be started up automatically, with the relevant image already opened for you). Doing it this way, the edited image then appears back in LR by itself, afterward, and the whole process is convenient. You can go back and edit the same image further, again using LR as your single access point to the image - both for LR adjustments and for Photoshop alterations.
The standard "Edit in Photoshop / Edit in Photoshop Elements" method tries to work via ACR. This does not require saving .XMP files to disk, btw.
It is also possible to force LR to render the file itself, which removes any issues of ACR compatibility, and employs the full gamut of LR function "up front" when starting an external edit. All Elements (or whatever) then needs to be able to do, is open up a readymade standard TIFF (or PSD).
One way to force that is via dialog options, though the options presented do vary depending on the situation.
Another way is to set up an external editing preset (in LR Preferences / external editing tab). This records a given combination of file attributes and program to be used (by browsing to the image editor program file), and is saved under a name. This name appears in the context menu (Edit In... submenu) and can be used directly thereafter.

I cannot import images from my camera directly into Elements Organizer

I am trying to import images into Elements Organizer from my Canon EOS 6D, but it doesn't work properly. I am expecting the images to appear in the Elements Organizer, but the images are only imported onto disk. At the moment I have to re-import images from the disk location as a second step. How can I perform this in one step, as I have seen this in the tutorials?
I am on a Mac using Yosemite using version 13 of Elements Organizer.

There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

Import Image Sequence not importing all images

I have a sequence of 99 JPG images that I am trying to import into Premiere Pro. These images were created by an export from Lightroom.
When I perform the import starting at the first image, only 35 images are imported.
If I import the sequence starting at the 34th image, only 2 images are imported.
If I import the sequence starting at the 35th image, only 1 image is imported (and it is imported as an image file it appears).
If I import the sequence starting at the 36th image, the remaining images are imported.
I have tried a number of different settings for the export from lightroom, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. For example, if I export as TIFF I see the exact same problem. If I export as JPG using a smaller image size I see the exact same problem.
I have tried "Replace Footage..." to no effect.
When I inspect the image files using an image view there appear to be no issues with the files. File sizes are consistent and not inordinantly large (~5MB).
The filenames are all properly numbered as expected by Premiere Pro.
I have done this successfully dozens of times before this problem arose, and I have done it successfully a number of times since the problem arose. The problem appears to happen only with this particular set of images.
I can work around the problem by importing the images as two separate imports (one starting at the first image and a second starting at the 36th image) and putting them both in a single sequence. In fact, this spliced sequence looks as expected with no missing frames or anything else untoward that I can see.
I've poked around with this for a couple days, and cannot discern any other factors that may be causing this.
Does anybody have any idea what might be going on?

I checked the filenames again and they're properly sequenced with no extra or missing spaces or anything else that doesn't follow the pattern of the first 34 images. In fact, I took a screenshot of this, and in doing so I figured out what the problem is.
Here's a screenshot of the directory with all the images.
As I was reviewing this screenshot, I noticed that the "Date" column goes over midnight. Images 0001-0034 all took place before midnight, and images 0035-0099 took place after midnight.
This column shows the capture time of the images, coming from the camera and through the export from Lightroom. This is different from the creation date of the exported file, which is shown in the "Date modified" column (cropped out of screenshot). In other words, you can see that I took the pictures on February 25 and 26, but exported them on March 1.
To verify that this might be the problem I used "Edit Capture Time..." in Lightroom to shift all the images an hour earlier. This means that there is no longer a date change in the sequence as they all have capture times before midnight. I then exported the images from Lightroom again, and imported them into Premiere Pro.
When I do this, all the images are imported into Lightroom successfully.
I realize this is only one data point, but it sounds like Premiere Pro is maybe using the capture time as part of its sequencing heuristics, and for some reason it isn't handling a date change properly. Or maybe something else is afoot.
What do you think?

Importing take folders into another project

I've got a guitar track with takes that haven't been flattened and I want to import into another project. I've tried importing to the audio bin but the takes appear separately, not as a take folder for comping. Is there another way of doing this?

BTW, I'm doing this across different desktops if that makes a difference

Images in Engage Interaction inserted into CP4 project not displaying....

Hi all
If ANYONE has an idea on this one, please let me know. I've already spent days trying to fix this issue with no result!!
I have a CP4 project, in which I am inserting an Articulate Engage interaction (interaction type = Process). Within the Process interaction, I have images. I have trawled forums and found out there is a recommended max image size (200 px x 310 px) and image type (jpeg or png) and I have also discovered that Process interactions prefer that images be aligned to either the left or the right, and not top or bottom. Done all that.
I also already know how to insert Articulate Engage interactions into CP4 projects - done that many times before. It's fiddly, but once you know how to do it, it's ok.
My problem is that when the CP4 project is published, the CP project plays perfectly, the Engage interaction displays as it should, each part of the Process interaction is visible and active, BUT THE IMAGES WON'T DISPLAY.
When I publish the Engage interaction (prior to inserting the engage.swf into CP4 as an animation) it plays perfectly, and the images display. When I view all the associated folders with the published Engage interaction, the images I've inserted are all there.
I cannot for the life of me work out what is going on. I have even re-created the Engage interaction from scratch, thinking it might have been corrupted somehow.
DON'T know what to try next.
Does anyone have any ideas????

in between the browser and viewer panes is a little search box ... click in it to change ... or if there is an 'x' in click it ... somehow you set a filter on that project ...

Import Image & Sound files

How can we acquire Images and Sound files into LabVIEW to work with ?

Have you tried looking in the Graphics & Sound palette? I'd start there.
And if you need something fancier then you'll want to look into the IMAQ functions.

Would it be fair to expect that importing images would also create folders based on the international date std???

I am very fond of the light and easy to use PhotoShop Elements.
I am situated in Denmark and would expect an image import to allow the creation of folders based on the international date standard (yyyy mm dd).
This "feature" would allow image folders to be created as follows:
2014 05 06 (6. May 2014)
2014 05 07 (7. May 2014) and so forth
When using the US date format folders are created 2014 06 05 and 2014 07 05 which doesn't make sense if folders should be viewed in a logical order.
It seems that the international date standard has been removed from PhotoShop Elements some where arround version 9-10 and it does create some rather annoying problems for me.
Am I really the the only one to experience this problem?
Since I cant figure out how to setup the organizer by using preferences, then how can I have the folders created automatically in the "normal" numeric/date order ?
Sincerely
Henrik

Thx for the prompt repåly.
Yes, you are quite right. PSE 12 is the thing.
I checked the import settings under preferences, but still the same problem with the date format.
But I did find though, that the APD Dialog Advanced allows me to actually automatically create the folders as wanted.
So for now it seems to be solved, only not through PSE Preferences, but via the APD Dialog.
Cheers,
Henrik

Importing images form Lightroom 5 Beta into Lightroom 4

I have been using Lightroom 5 Beta for the last few months and have inputted a number of images. When I look for these with lightroom 4 the lightroom 5 library is empty. Has anyone found a way around this or is there a way to rimport all of these files and their adjustments as I am now locked out of my Lightroom 5 Beta?

You have to import the photos to LR4.
If you haven't saved the metadata from within LR5beta, your LR5beta changes are gone, and even if you have saved the metadata, some new features (like Upright) will not be recognized by LR4.

Getting an ORA-01003 error importing images using Apex import options

Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-01003: no statement parsed
begin wwv_flow.g_import_in_progress := true; end;

This worked for me on apex.oracle.com.. can't do it on any of my apex instances.
I am able to import applications without a problem
Any suggestions?

Anyone have any ideas?

Is it possible to merge images from 4 different folders into a single 4x4 image with ps scripting?

So I have four folders that each contain 970 images. The images in folder 1 are named exactly the same as the images in folder 2, 3, and 4. All the images are also 400px in size. What I'm trying to do is take all images of the same name from each of the 4 folders and put them into a single 800x800 images so that they are arranged in a 4x4 fashion.
Example: Each folder has an image named mastiff1.psd. All four mastiff images are different, but have the same name, and are the same size. I'd like all four mastiff images to be combined into one double-size image that has all four of the mastiff images on it and save as mastiff1-4x4.
Is that something that photoshop scripting could do? I'm a newb to this. I've used actions plenty, but never scripting.

To script well you need to know a scripting programming language either JavaScript which works on both Photoshop Platforms or AppleScript which will only Apple Mac machines, Or VSbasic which will only run on windows. You must also know how Photoshop works and know how to use Photoshop well.
There are some things that can not be scripted for Adobe DOM does not have interfaces methods for all of Photoshop's features. However there is an Adobe Plug-in with the name Scriptlistener witch is like a script recorder anything you do in Photoshop that can be recorded in actions will be recorded into two logs on you desktop when the Scriptlistener plug-in is installed one is in JavaScript syntax the other in VSbasic. Like Actions there is no logic just hard coded step, step, step... The code uses the Action Manager to do the Photoshop function. So things that can not be scripted using Adobe DOM can be scripted using Action Manager code produced by the Scriptlistener Plug-in and the hard coded steps can be modifies into javascript functions that use variables.
I feel what you want to do would be a real ambitious first Photoshop script. Adobe scripting documentation, sample script and Scriptlistener are not part of the standard install. You must download these from Adobe. Adobe Photoshop Scripting | Adobe Developer Connection.
I don't actually know javascript but I can hack at it. Have done some document layout scripts. Most require a PSD template but PasteImageRoll does not but all Image must come from the same folder. Most of my fully automated script require all image to be in the same folder. However two of my scripts are interactive. You can select each image to be layout from anywhere. Images will be automatically re-sized and positioned which you can then tweak.
I'm not the best coder still you may want to look ate the code I came up with.
Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support
Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED Made Rotate for Best Fit an option in PasteImageRoll.jsx Edit to customize your default settings.
Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.

Importing "Corrupt" Libraries/Images/xmp Files Into LR 1

I've experienced the "corrupt library" problem experienced by so many, in which LR 1 tries to "upgrade" libraries that worked perfectly well in beta 4.1, but then apologizes because they're "corrupt"--and then exits when you hit the OK button to acknowledge the false error report (because OK is the only option you're given). I eventually fired up LR 1 successfully by first moving the existing library out of its subfolder in My Pictures. While that's a start, I do not want to forever lose the crops, tonality adjustments, etc. that I made in LR beta, so what's the next step?
When I look at my "old" folders in Windows Explorer, I can see the RAW image files and their corresponding .xmp files. If I try to Import one of those old folders into new LR 1, however, I only have the option to select "Supported Files," which do not include those beta-created .xmps. [Aside: Missing is the Select Folder button to automatically import the entire folder. What's up with that downgrade from beta???]
So, if I Ctrl + a to select the entire contents of an old folder, all my RAW images get imported fine into LR 1, but not the information regarding the prior LR beta edits. Does anyone know a trick for recovering that beta-generated information--which, I assume, resides in the .xmp files, which I'm not given the option of importing into LR 1?
Hopefully, Adobe won't abandon all of us who helped them beta-test the product.

I'm also struggling with this frustrating 'corrupt library' syndrome, and I haven't imported anything from the Beta, I created a whole new library in version 1. When prompted to back up I got the dreaded corruption warning. Any bright sparks out there figured out an easy way around this?

Where do RAW image file go when importing images into iPhoto?

I've imported images from my camera card into iPhoto but I want to have access to the RAW files format. I was given the option of erasing the data from the card after import but luckily I opted to not erase because I can't seem to find the RAW images on the computer. Does iPhoto not import RAW image files? I want the RAW file format for obvious reasons.

By default all imported photos are copied into the iPhoto library. To edit them in an external editor check the box in the iPhoto preferences to use RAW with external editors or export the photo with kind = original

When trying to import images from an external hard drive into Lightroom 5 it states no preview for the files selected

Go easy on me here….
Trying to import images from external hard drive into Lightroom 5 but the selected images state 'no preview for file'.
All other images on the external hard drive can be previewed and imported without issue.
I have tried adding the images onto the computers hard drive as well but still no joy.
I've used Lightroom 5 previously and had no issue so convinced its the files I'm trying to import (jpeg files).
Any help greatly appreciated.
