Using a shared photo in Web Gallery

My wife and I share a computer and we each have a .Mac account. However, all of our pictures are in iPhoto under her login.
I would like to publish a Web Gallery using my .Mac account and photos shared from her iPhoto library.
However when I include a shared photo in the Web Gallery it imports it into my iPhoto Library, giving me two copies of the same photo, one in her iPhoto library and another in mine, thereby duplicating the photo which is not what I want.
Is there a way to use a shared Photo in Web Gallery and maintain the relationship to the original photo and not duplicate the picture?

Roger
No, because as far the the Mac is concerned, it's not yours to Share until it's in your Library.

Brigde CS5 in Windows 7 64bit - drops out photos in Web Gallery preview

Is there a limit to the number of photos that web gallery will display? I created a web gallery and then started over again as instructions I read stated that I should put the TITLE on each photo. Once I put the title in, out of 24 photos that use to display, only 20 now display.
Can someone explain why this is happening? I haven't even gotten to the point of trying to embed in my website yet. Perhaps Bridge isn't the best tool to use?
Thanks to anyone who can offer any insight as to why this is happening.

And right you are! After posting this message I started reading through all the help files and finally did find the same answer. Now my problem is the linking as I have a very strange hosting set up. Two sites, same directory. So all my images have broken links. Something new to work out!
Cheers!

How to view photos on Web Gallery?

So, on TV I go to Photo> .Mac>Web Gallery>then I type the web gallery web address (not easy with the remote)
I tried a few times, I get a message saying that Tv can't find it. Same web gallery works fine on my Mac.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
F

Props for figuring that one out. For those who stumble on this post -- use the .mac user name without "@mac.com" -- just the user name itself.
Thanks

Photos in Web gallery too dark

Hello,
I just updated to the new iLife.
I tried the new Web Gallery function and the photos are too dark compared to the view in iPhoto.
Same happens with galleries in iWeb.
What's wrong?
JO

There is a color problem when publishing pictures from iPhoto 06 and 08 (as well as when e-mailing a picture).
The problem being that the images are published with their original color profile, whatever that is. Further, if profile is missing in the image in iPhoto, the profile will be missing in the output. (BUT iPhoto displays correctly in case there is an EXIF tag specifying sRGB).
The result is that colors will not be displayed correctly on the WEB (or in e-mail clients), more or less depending on OS platform. This applies both to images and their thumbnails.
Compare the iPhoto album http://www.tomasjonsson.eu/IPhotoTests/
with an album with correct colors http://www.tomasjonsson.eu/PictureSite/Albums/Pages/PreAndPostProcessed.html
In Safari, only IMG_9465 and IMG_5182 will show a difference - since those are the only images without a color profile. However, in other MS-Windows browsers, most images will be displayed incorrectly.
Note! Most digital cameras produce images without at color profile but with an EXIF tag. In iPhoto:Preferences:Advanced choose Embed ColorSync profile, which will add a profile corresponding the EXIF tag. However, the images that you have already imported will not be fixed.
Note to Apple: Show EXIF colors space and embedded color profile in Info pane. Add command - ASSIGN profile. And in export dialog - add option Color Space.
HOW IT SHOULD BE
Images on the web (and in general also e-mails) should be published in sRGB color space (otherwise they will not be displayed correctly in browsers on the MS-Windows platforms, with the exception of Safari, viewing images with a color profile)
Images should have a color profile, in particular the sRGB images (otherwise they will not be displayed correctly on the MacOS platforms. Maybe close to correct if you have calibrated your monitor to PC-gamma)
Actually all images should have a color profile, period. If the image does not have a color profile, it is just a pile of randomly colored pixels - to be interpreted freely by any displaying device, which they do.
For a demonstration of profiles and WEB see: http://www.gballard.net/psd/golive_pageprofile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html
However, DO NOT follow this guys advice of omitting the color profile for WEB publishing because of overhead. The overhead is less than 1% of a high quality image. (I measured 0.5 - 2.5 kByte)
WORKAROUND
After exporting from iPhoto - use Photoshop and CONVERT TO PROFILE all images to sRGB color space. Save file with color profile.
Note, make sure that images without original profile are treated correctly (most often they are sRGB, check the EXIF tag with Preview application)
Note, apply also conversion to thumbnails.

Different caption for each photo in web gallery

When you take your selected Photos from Library to WEB is it possible to have a different caption for each photo. If I select 1 photo from the import and change its caption using the caption popup in the "Image Info" pane all the image captions change even the unselected ones.
How can I change individual photos so that they will have individual captions in the web gallery?

You should change the caption metadata field in the Library module. Go to the Library module, select the image you want to change the caption on, in the right panel, scroll down to the metadata section. Make sure that the popup to the left of metadata is set to "default" and you should see the standard metadata. Simply type your caption here. Then, if you've done this for all your photos, go back to your web section and make sure you set the caption popup in the image info section back to "caption", which will use the info in the caption metadata field for each photo automatically.

Uploading photos through web gallery not working.

People
When people access my web galleries and use the upload feature and it accepts the uploaded files, but, the photos don't appear in the web gallery or get synched to my iPhoto. However, using the upload feature through email does work!
Any ideas on that?
Also, once synched with web galleries on my iPhoto, how come the photos don't automatically appear in the event that the person uploaded the photo to in the fist place? The photos appear in the event under Web Gallery on iPhoto but not the actual event. Does that make sense?
Cheers
Al

Same prob here (EU).
Looks like uploading through the web interface (while browsing the web gallery) doesn't work.
E-mailing a picture works a treat, though...
Tried also using firefox (I'm on a MBP with all the latest software versions) but no luck!
I've looked also at the contents of my iDisk (it had to be in the loop!) and indeed found that the web gallery is under <.macmember_name>/Web/Sites/gallery/<id> and every picture that's in the gallery has its own folder named after the picture name containing 5 files: *large.jpg, medium.jpg, web.jpg, square.jpg and reflect-medium.jpg* (their meaning is quite obvious...)
The pictures I sent through the web interface didn't produce results in my iDisk whatsoever, while the one I sent using mail had this new folder-files created in the right way...
I think this upload feature is seriously flawed...

Text under photos in Web-gallery

How do I Put my own text under the photos when I create a web-gallery? If I use Custom, it will show the same under all photos, and if I use titles, I have to rename all, and then I can not use the same title for some...
Lars

Enter the data (text) into each images IPTC caption field and then ask LR to display it from that field.

Bridge CS4 - Save/Print Photos from Web Gallery

I have only been using Bridge CS4 for the last couple months to put web galleries on a web page. I don't know how to change the settings to allow people to save/print the photos from the web gallery once it is posted on the website. I used to create the photo album in Macromedia with "create web photo album" but this was apparently replaced with Bridge, but the old method allowed for saving and printing. Any help is appreciated on allowing this to happen with Bridge web gallery.

Solved!
This works for Windows. I imagine the Mac solution is similar. Props to William Zauscher for helping find an answer.
I take no responsibliity for any damage caused to your computer, Photoshop or Bridge...
In Windows, browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts
In the file named "galleryCreator.jsxinc" replace the lines:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
         alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
             alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
         alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
     return alteredName;
...with the following:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
                var alteredName;
                while (true)
                                alteredName = "_";
                                alteredName += jpgFile += ".jpg";
                                var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
                                if (!f.exists)
                                                break;
                return alteredName;
You can cut and paste the above. Just save a version of the original file somewhere in case of screwups...
Cheers!

Adding Descriptions to Individual Photos in Web Gallery

I'm looking for an easy (or easier, considering my current method) way of creating a web gallery in lightroom that gives me the ability to add descriptions of individual photos.
What I've been doing thus far is limiting myself to only the galleries which separate the 'large' pictures in their own folder from the 'small' or 'thumb' photos. The small or thumb photos are the ones used for navigation. When one is selected, the large photo is displayed. I have been generating the galleries with Lightroom, opening up the Large directory, then opening every single large picture in Photoshop. Then I extend the canvas in the same direction for each photo, and write the description next to the photo and save it. That way, when you open the gallery, the thumbnails all look as they normally would, but when you click on them you're greeted with a large picture and a description.
This process is long, boring, and painstakingly annoying. I have done this for approximately 200 pictures thus far. The end result looks just fine, but my research into having Lightroom let me add visible descriptions has turned up nothing. Is there a template, engine, or anything else that will allow me to display pictures with some text next to it?

Haven't you looked at the Image Info panel in Web? You enter captions in Library, in its Metadata panel, and then tell Web to display them.

Adding captions to photos for web gallery

I'm creating a web gallery for my web page and I'd like to add a caption to each photo and not show the file name. I've got Bridge CS4 3.0.0.464 and would like to use either the 'Filmstrip' template.
Can't figure out how to add captions.

The only way I found to do it was to apply the Caption Maker script from Russell Brown before creating the gallery.
This puts a caption on each picture.

Customizing order of photos in web gallery & slideshow

I know this was requested during the beta but.....
Is there a way to customize the order that photos appear in a web gallery or slide show? By default Lightroom 1.0 displays them in the order they were imported. I want to move them around but can't find a way to do so.

Do a collection of images to use in either. You can drag and drop the order in a collection. Drag from the middle of a thumbnail. The module will remember presets associated with a Collection as apposed to a group sellection.
This is very, very old info listed in numerous threads.

Can someone download photos from web gallery?

Can someone download individual photos from my web gallery? I am posting about 40 photos in the web gallery.I want people that visit to be able to download the photos they want. I tried it and it is set to download the entire album compressed. The visitors probably will only want 1 photo. Maybe there is a better application for this type of use.
I am new to this and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, individual photos can be downloaded. Looks like you already have the Allow Downloading setting on since the entire album (compressed) is available.
If a visitor clicks on any thumbnail in an album, and loads the corresponding screen-sized photo, each photo has a little toolbar that fades in at the bottom where a down-pointing arrow is the button to download the individual photo. This will be the (up to) 6 megapixel-sized photo and not the screen-sized one.

Number of photos on web gallery, error

Hi:
I have a question about my web gallery ( http://gallery.mac.com/carjrol2 )
The counter that indicates the number of photos i have into my gallery is wrong it puts that I have more photos than really I have
example in my logos gallery it puts that i have 42 photos and i only have 14 photos.....
How could i resolve this problem???

Are you using the latest update - 7.1?
When I went to 7.1 this happened to me. after a day I forced one gallery to sync and next time I looked everything was correct again
Verify that the web gallery album in iPhoto has the correct number of photos and force a sync 9click on the little brodcast icon ot the right of the gallery name and hopefully that will corrct the count in your online gallery

Syncing photos from Web Gallery

I've been using my web gallery for the past year, and it has worked out great. Family from all over are able to view and upload pictures, which is perfect for me to "sync" and then make fun calendar's, books and slideshows out of. I recently created a new album of my cousin's wedding and have been able to sync just fine until the other day. Now, there are dotted outlines of new pictures in iPhoto, but not the pictures themselves....any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Kat

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That occurs when iPhoto loses the path to the original file. It can happen if there's an interruption while iPhoto is writing to the database file, Librry6.iPhoto, or if the user renames or moves files within the iPhoto Library package from the Finder.
Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Uploading photos to web gallery.

I am thinking of a full subscription to .mac and have been viewing the online vids.
One of the videos was promoting the benefit of uploading the photo from an iPhone, and the screen clearly shows 4 choices when you're in Photo.
The 4 choices are....
Use as wallpaper
Email photo
Assign to contact
Send to web gallery
The problem is that my iPhone (on the latest sofware release of 1.1.4) does NOT have the 4th option 'Upload to web gallery'.
I have phoned Apple Tech Support but he was of no help whatsoever.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS 4TH OPTION ISSUE?
Thank you.
Speeddemon.

Check this link.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Dotmac/WebGallery/en/psh384.html
You must have a .Mac account set up on your iPhone. That’s the trigger that tells the iPhone to show the Send to Web Gallery button when you tap the Send button when viewing a picture.
Next, you must have iPhoto version 7.0.1. The version of iPhoto that ships with iLife ‘08 is version 7.0. Use Software Update to obtain 7.0.1 and update iPhoto.
Finally, in iPhoto create a Web Gallery. When you click the Web Gallery button, be sure to enable the Allow Photo Uploading By Email option.
