Using iView and iPhoto together

I know I'm not supposed to rename photos etc outside of iPhoto; so I haven't. I like the ease of use (auto-start when a camera is connected, sharing over Bonjour/Rendezvouz etc) but batch renaming 0f actual photos, adding comments etc are all done better in iView (I have the pro version due to several update offers).
Can they be run simultaneously?
Can I share a catalog(ue) as easily as with iPhoto?
Is there a way to rename etc then dump back into iP, preserving some kind of structure - I only have about 2.5GB so far, but ...
I have read several threads on similar matters (eg Frederic Rasio, "iPhoto alternative?", 04:29am Aug 14, 2005 CDT) but none really answer my questions)
Thanks in advance
Mark

First, read my post in this thread: Old Toad, "using iphoto with iview" #1, 02:19pm Aug 15, 2005 CDT.
They can be run simultaneously but I would be very careful editing with both. I' did it once on a test library as my other post mentions. iView is so powerful and you can do so much that there may be a high potential of really messing up the iPhoto side of the pair. iView would still work but iPhoto may not. That's why i keep the two separated and use iPhoto primarily for books. With available plugins iView can do everything iPhoto can except make books and the KB effect in slideshows. Slideshows are easier to generate in iPhoto.
In response to your renaming question, my other posts describes how I do that first in iView and then import those photos into iPhoto. You'll just have to work out your own work flow. You might consider an external HD - see A Tale of Woe and a Lesson to be Learned.

  • Using Lightroom and Iphoto Together

    Can anyone point me to a tutorial or provide information on the best way to utilize Lightroom with Iphoto? I have read several posts which are contradictory in regards to importing photos into Lightroom from Iphoto. Some say to export files to Finder and then use Lightroom to import. Others say to open Iphoto Package Contents, make alias and use Lightroom to import. I am a new mac user and would like some clarification before I screw it all up. I like the ease of Iphoto for everyday organization, emailing and flickring but would like to import selected photos or events into Lightroom for processing. Thx a bunch.

    What are you trying to do, exactly?
    Both LR and iPhoto are photo managers. iPhoto is firmly pointed at the home user with a point and shoot camera, LR is a professional grade application aimed squarely at the Raw shooter.
    In either case +they both do the same job+, so using both is a bit like writing your Novel in Word and also in Pages at the same time.
    Assuming you want to import pics from your camera, store them, process them and then organise them into albums etc, I would use Lightroom. It's just a more powerful app for the job.
    Then, if there's something that LR can't do - for instance, Slideshows or books or whatever - then export the pics you want to use from LR to the Finder and import into iPhoto, or use *_this_* LR plug in to automate the process.
    I have read several posts which are contradictory in regards to importing photos into Lightroom from Iphoto.
    You need to understand something. Both Application are Databases. A photo needs to be imported before they can even see or manipulate it. While Aperture can read the iPhoto database, LR is utterly oblivious to the iPhoto DB and vice versa.
    Some say to export files to Finder and then use Lightroom to import.
    This is the correct way.
    Others say to open Iphoto Package Contents, make alias and use Lightroom to import.
    Never, ever do this. Any slight change to the path of the file and your iPhoto Library is toast.
    but would like to import selected photos or events into Lightroom for processing.
    Frankly, this sounds to me more like a job for Photshop Elements rather than LR.

  • Using Aperture and IPhoto together for RAW

    Hi All,
    I have just received my MBP and will be using Aperture to edit my RAW files from a Nikon camera.
    I was wondering if Aperture works the same as IPhoto in regards to the library function or do you still use IPhoto to arrange, tag your images etc...
    If that is the case how do you do that if you are using RAW files? Does IPhoto recognise RAW images?
    I would like to hear your workflow on a MAC.
    Cheers.

    Sad to say Richard but you are close but not quite correct. Aperture has a much reduced set of RAW support vs. iPhoto. Of this I can personally attest, but they're both covered on the Apple site.
    To add to some other points you address...
    iPhoto is still needed for simple integration with other iLife apps., as Aperture has no iLife integration. There is an Aperture2iLife script available (Lightbox software) which automates an export and import process. If you carry an iPod around with photos, then you'll need to maintain iPhoto for that purpose. Welcome to the land of duplicates!
    iPhoto does indeed process the RAW and all image work is performed on a JPEG version therafter. The RAW is never used, but is stored in the Originals folder (along with any original JPG or TIF files from the camera if these were shot vs. RAW).
    Aperture's RAW converter is markedly superior to iPhoto, and the control and editing options likewise. As noted, Aperture does not change the original RAW (or other imported file), but saves the edit instructions (akin to adjustment layers in Photoshop) for rebuilding the image viewed from the original. Enhanced book and Web Gallery options exist vs. iPhoto ... so integration to iWeb isn't quite as important, though would be very useful.

    you could also try verifying if the jar libraries containing your Document and Paragraph classes are defined in your class path OR if you are using an IDE, did you include that under your LIbraries?

  • TS3742 I have an iMac 24" system. I just recently installed MAC OS X 10.7.4 (Lion) on my system. Since doing so, my system consistently hangs. Particularly when using iMovie and iPhoto.

    I have an iMac 24" system. I just recently installed MAC OS X 10.7.4 (Lion) on my system. Since doing so, my system consistently hangs. Particularly when using iMovie and iPhoto. I have to power off my system to get it running again. Any suggestions on what I can do  to address this situation.

    I would first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Let us know if these  procedures don't solve the problems.
    Hope this helps

    SELECT 'SELECT ' || DISTINCT COLUMN || ' FROM DUAL UNION ALL '
    FROM TABLE;Whenever you have a problem, please post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statments for a little sample data, and the results you want from that data.
    The example you posted has so many mistakes, it's hard to know what you're trying to do.
    COLUMN, DISTINCT and TABLE are all Oracle keywords, and shouldn't be used for actual columnor table names, and using them for aliases is just asking for trouble.
    When using SELECT DISTINCT, the keyword DISTINCT must come immediately after SELECT.
    If you want to assign an alias to a column, it must be at the very end of the expression that defines the column. You can't assign an alias to part of an expression. If you want to do that, use a sub-query.
    Here's a query that uses both SELECT DISTINCT and ||:

  • Using Airport And Ethernet Together

    Having read Christopher Breen's solution to using Airport and Ethernet together,
    http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mac911/2006/10/airportswitch/index.php
    I am still wondering if this can apply to my situation. I have an Airport Exteme BS distributing the wireless signal on it's own node. Nothing is physically connected to the BS except an ethernet cable running to a hub which is connected to the cable modem. While my ISP service isn't supplying service faster than Airport will manage, no problem...but, I would like to have the advantage ethernet networking between my machines for all the advantages that ethernet speed can bring to that situation.
    My connection to the internet is from WAN from the cable modem. I have an ethernet connection from the BS that I can run a cable back to say, an iBook. Will this work? I want wireless internet, but ethernet for machine to machine networking.

    Helpful response, but I am uncertain this is what I am after. First, the hub is at the other end of the house, inconvenient to run a cable to it in this way. Presently, "Distribute IP Addresses" is turned off. This is way it had to be set since the AEBS is on a separate node. I just wonder why I can't run a cable from the AEBS LAN port back to the iBook. Looking for best possible speed when networking from my studio G4 while keeping the wireless internet setting.
    Any reason making the config the way I am imagining will not work?

  • Using Lightroom and iPhoto

    I use Lightroom and iPhoto. I mainly use Lightroom for everything. If it's personal photos I use iPhoto but mostly Lightroom. If I want to share these and/or sync with other devices like AppleTV, iPhone, MobileMe then I have to export from Lightroom to iPhoto. That doubles up on files and hard drive space. What do others do that use Lightroom and iPhoto? I love being able to share and sync with iPhoto but it's just to much to ask of my Hard Drives.

    Few people use both Lightroom and iPhoto - they both do essentially the same thing but are different and in the past iPhoto has found LR processed photos unacceptable - and they can not operate on the same physical photos - you must export photos form LR and import them into iPhoto since they both manage photos
    If you want to use both you will have to have photos imported into each
    Fortunately external hard drives are cheap -- iPhoto is perfectly happy having its library on an EHD

  • Using Keynote and iPhoto slideshow together

    Computer: 12" Powerbook G4, 1.5ghz
    Display: 23" Apple Cinema Display (1920x1200)
    Software: OSX 10.4.9, Keynote 2, iPhoto 6
    Hi everyone! Above are the specs for the project I'm working on and here's the problem I'm having:
    I am trying to create a makeshift kiosk display for an upcoming event using slides in Keynote and a picture slideshow in iPhoto. I'm planning on running it off my Powerbook to my 23" Cinema Display.
    I'm using Keynote for the presentation content because of the motion effects (transitions, build-ins, etc.) and iPhoto for the image slideshow because of the Ken Burns effect (which I don't believe Keynote has). Both look great running seperately, however when this is being displayed at the show, I'll need both to run back to back automatically, without having to manually switch back and forth between applications.
    I have both the Keynote presentation and the iPhoto slideshow displaying at 1920x1200. I've tried exporting the iPhoto slideshow to Quicktime, but it won't export any higher than 640x480. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? I won't be able to operate the computer when this is running, so I really need to find a way to make everything run seamlessly while keeping the high resolution of the 1920x1200 monitor.
    Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks,
    -Steve

    iMovie is a DV editing app and the final results would still make a 640X480 file.
    I would change a few things to make everything work together:
    First is the display resolution. You want the 23 inches to be used so just reduce the display preferences to try and match your QuickTime file. 800X600 sounds about right but larger will still work as H.264 Video scales up in size very nicely.
    This would force you to "reduce" the dimensions of the Keynote file but that shouldn't be much of an issue.
    QuickTime Pro could also be used to "change" the dimensions of the 640X480 file. Again, H.264 scales up in size and would look pretty good at even double size.
    The goal is to have them both at the same dimension and then match the monitor resolution.
    Easier to change the display than the files.

  • Using generics and J2SE together with JSF

    Hi
    Has anybody experience with using JSF together with J2SE 1.5? Especially generics? I would like to use generics and other improvements from J2SE in the model objects.
    Thnaks in advance ... Rick

    JSF 1.1 is specified for J2SE 5, and the new specification (JSF 1.2 and JSP 2.1) does not include generics.
    If you are talking in terms of ValueBindings or MethodBindings, there really isn't any point since the implementation could only make the cast for you; and it would still not be able to garuantee type safety (the only reason to use generics).
    That's not to say you couldn't use generics in your own development, but I don't think you will see generics incorporated into the specification any time soon.

  • Using Struts and JSTL together

    I have
    <html:form action="xy.do">
    <c:set var="name" value="shalik"/>
    <html:text property="name" value="<c:out value="${name}"/>"/>
    </html:form>
    How could I put data stored in ${name} to show in the text
    Also, is there a shorter way to access java variables using jstl core
    I would not want to do
    <input type="text" name="name" value="<c:out value="${name}"/>"/>
    which works, because I have to use struts

    No you can't include tags as attributes to other tags.
    Yes, you can definitely use the Struts and JSTL together.
    If you want to use EL expressions with the struts tags, it depends on your server.
    If you have a JSP2.0 container (eg Tomcat 5) its no problem at all. You can use the EL expressions directly with the standard struts tags.
    For a JSP1.2 container, there are specifically written struts-el tags. They let you use EL expressions instead of <%= %> expressions
    <c:set var="name" value="shalik"/>
    <html:text property="name" value="${name}"/>The struts-el tags only have a subset of the struts tags. It is intended for use with the JSTL. For instance the c:if tag easily replaces a lot of the logic conditional ones (equal, lessThan, etc etc)
    The tags are available as part of the standard struts download in the contrib directory.
    However for what you seem to be wanting to do, wouldn't it be more struts-like to have an action that specifically populates the action form, and just have
    <html:text property="name"/>
    The value would then be automagically populated from the form bean.
    Hope this helps,

    Ugly code.
    Bulk processing does what in PL? One and one thing only. It reduces context switching between the PL and SQL engines. That is it. Nothing more. It is not magic that increases performance. And there is a penalty to pay for the reduction in context switching - memory. Very expensive PGA memory.
    To reduce the context switches, bigger chunks of data are passed between the PL and SQL engines. You have coded a single fetch for all the rows from the cursor. All that data collected from the SQL engine has to be stored in the PL engine. This requires memory. The more rows, the more memory. And the memory used is dedicated non-shared server memory. The worse kind to use on a server where resources need to be shared in order for the server to scale.
    Use the LIMIT clause. That controls how many rows are fetched. And thus you manage just how much memory is consumed.
    And why the incremental commit? What do you think you are achieving with that? Except consuming more resources by doing more commits.. not to mention risking data integrity as this process can now fail and result in only partial changes. And only changing some of the rows when you need to change all the rows is corrupting the data in the database in my book.
    Also, why use PL at all? Surely you can do a INSERT into <table1> SELECT .. FROM <table2>,<table3> WHERE ...
    And with this, you can also use parallel processing (DML). You can use direct path inserts. You do not need a single byte of PL engine code or memory. You do not have to ship data between the PL and SQL engines. What you now have is fast performing code that can scale.
