Using same photo twice in book w/ iPhoto6

I want to use a photo on the cover that I have used inside my book. Is there a way to do this without making a duplicate and therefore importing a copy into my Library? Seems that I saw that there was an easy way to do this at some point.

No. You'll have to make a duplicate. That was changed in iPhoto 7.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

Using Same Photo Twice (iLife 11 Photobook)

Hi,
I was making a Photobook using iLife '11. I had the photos selected and used one for the cover picture. I went to use the photo again later in the book but was unable to. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, any solutions ??
Thanks

No - I have done it in previous versions and it works just fine
And I just did it in '11 with no problem - how are you trying to do it and what happens?
I picked a blank page and double clicked on it to open it and drug the cover photo form the photos sidebar to a spot on that page and now the cover and that page have the same photo on it.

How can I use the same photo twice?

Seems you have to duplicate the photo in your Library to add the same picture twice.

Use same table twice in subform

Hi,
i´ve created a form like this
subformA -> positioned
--subformB -> flowed
table
header
body row
Everything is working fine and a I´m able to see the expected data.
But when my table includes more than 10 rows it destroys the layout of my page.
My idea:
Create a second subform with same table data and place it right beside it. And using FormCalc to show data from row 11 to end.
But only the first subform is filled. There is no data in second subform (FormCalc code is not implemented).
It seems, that I can´t use same tabele twice.
Any ideas?
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
Have both the subforms as flowed and page breaked, it should work.
As per as having 2 tables techically i believe its not possible.reason behind.
When you do data binding for 1st table and say multiple rows, at runtime data is iterated and displayed in the 1st table.
when it reaches to the 2nd table the pointer on the table data source is already eof i.e., last record so it will not display it again.
to acheive this on form load of the 2nd table you need to initialize and iterate through the data source again.
I have never tested this scenario but read it in some adobe fourms.
Check it and let me know, if its still not working i can design a sample form with this scenario for you.
Cheers,
Sai

Cost of using subquery vs using same table twice in query

Hi all,
In a current project, I was asked by my supervisor what is the cost difference between the following two methods. First method is using a subquery to get the name field from table2. A subquery is needed because it requires the field sa_id from table1. The second method is using table2 again under a different alias to obtain table2.name. The two table2 are not self-joined. The outcome of these two queries are the same.
Using subquery:
select a.sa_id R1, b.other_field R2,
(select b.name from b
where b.b_id = a.sa_id) R3
from table1 a, table2 b
where ...Using same table twice (table2 under 2 different aliases)
select a.sa_id R1, b.other_field R2, c.name R3
from table1 a, table2 b, table2 c
where
c.b_id = a.sa_id,
and ....Can anyone tell me which version is better and why? (or under what circumstances, which version is better). And what are the costs involved? Many thanks.

Many thanks.In theory, if you use the scalar "subquery" approach, the correlated subquery needs to be executed for each row of your result set. Depending on how efficient the subquery is performed this could require significant resources, since you have that recursive SQL that needs to be executed for each row.
The "join" approach needs to read the table only twice, may be it can even use an indexed access path. So in theory the join approach should perform better in most cases.
Now the Oracle runtime engine (since Version 8) introduces a feature called "filter optimization" that also applies to correlated scalar subqueries. Basically it works like an in-memory hash table that caches the (hashed) input values to the (deterministic) correlated subquery and the corresponding output values. The number of entries of the hash table is fixed until 9i (256 entries) whereas in 10g it is controlled by a internal parameter that determines the size of the table (and therefore can hold different number of entries depending on the size of each element).
If the input value of the next row corresponds to the input value of the previous row then this optimization returns immediately the corresponding output value without any further action. If the input value can be found in the hash table, the corresponding output value is returned, otherwise execute the query and keep the result combination and eventually attempt to store this new combination in the hash table, but if a hash collision occurs the combination will be discarded.
So the effectiveness of this clever optimization largely depends on three different factors: The order of the input values (because as long as the input value doesn't change the corresponding output value will be returned immediately without any further action required), the number of distinct input values and finally the rate of hash collisions that might occur when attempting to store a combination in the in-memory hash table.
In summary unfortunately you can't really tell how good this optimization is going to work at runtime and therefore can't be properly reflected in the execution plan.
You need to test both approaches individually because in the optimal case the optimization of the scalar subquery will be superior to the join approach, but it could also well be the other around, depending on the factors mentioned.

Using same image twice

I want to use the same image twice, one in colour, the other black and white. But when I use the monochrome mixer, both images in the book turn to b/w. Do I have to import two separate images?

Using the right click menu (or shortcut key) duplicate the version - using the top stack menu extract item from the stack, make it b+w, drag it to the book and viola.

Using same cell twice in one formula

Example: (B2+B3)*(B2/B4)
If I want to use B2 twice in the same formula, numbers does not accept the second entry of B2. Any solution to this irritating problem?

Geert,
If you are clicking on cells to enter them as references in an expression, you must hold down the Command (Apple) key if you want to enter (click on) the same cell a second time in the same expression. Of course you are always able to type the reference into the Formula Bar entry area as many times as you wish without any special gestures.

How can I use one photo twice in a slideshow

I am in iPhoto '11 9.4.3 making a slideshow to send to iDVD for my mother-in-laws funeral next Wednesday.
How can I use this one particular photo of her several times in the slide show.
I have tried copy/past and that does not seem to work.
Thanx in advance

I would just duplicate the picture several times and keep inserting duplicates ...

Using iPhoto, I am unable to print same photo (4x6) twice on a single page.

Downloaded photos from iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I wanted to get duplicates of the photos printed but there doesn't appear to be an option to print the same photo more than once on a page. Since I had multiple photos I was able to get around the problem by selecting 2 different photos and printing 2 separate pages (i.e. 1 each on each page), but I was printing 4x6 photos so I should be able to print same photo twice on a page.
Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated.

Yes - when you duplicate a photo you have to delete it when you no longer want it
Yes - Windows and OS X have many differences - as do iPhoto and other programs - pretty much safe to say that every program is unique and has its own learning curve
You are welcome - post back as you have questions
and as a new user you may find Terence Devlin's helpful hints useful - especially How to Access Files in iPhoto since there is a major conceptual difference between using a database like iPhoto and file based systems like most Windows systems - also Exporting From iPhoto and iPhoto and File Management

Manage MetaData from same photos in different formats like it was one

For example - I import photos in RAW and than export in into JPEG. Id like to manage them later like one photo. Now When I want to see also the JPEG I need to import it once again - so I have the same photo twice in different format. When I change metadata I want automatically to change it in both formats. Something like stack into one photo, but with this future - when I change metadata - it will change in both.

Hi Xiaojing,
Thank you for your answer. It is useful.
The problem is: My application is not going to play music or video, it just needs to browse over the disk and create a list of available music files including info like song name, album, artist. All this info is kept in meta-data. Some users can have a lot of music of their computers. That's why I don't want to load the whole file and wait for onMetaData event - it can take a long time. I just want to read the meta-data from the file, but not to load the all file as I need for listening the music of playing the movie.
I already applied extracting meta-data for MP3 files exactly the way you mentioned, it works fine. I only have to wait for Event.ID3 – I implemented Timer to wait until all my files are processed. Probably, if user has a lot of music on his computer, it will take a lot of time.
I can try to read AAC the way you advice.
I am really looking for implementation of your advice for reading the music file as a ByteArray and extracting meta-data. In this case we don't need to load all the file, but just to read part of it.
Do you have some code implementation?
Thank you again for your response,
Elena

Can I use the same SSI twice in same page?

Hey all,
i'm having a problem whereby several SSI's are not showing on my page.
I'm wondering if it's because the instances that are not showing are the ones called the second time round.
Before i start posting code etc, i just wondered if it was actually not possible to call the same SSi more than one time on a page.
I can't seem to find documentation stating this anywhere.
Thanks in advance,
Katrina
Edit 1: I tested using a new unique SSI (i.e. one that wasn't called anywhere else on teh page, and it doesn't show either... so I've started a new thread where i post my code here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5345250#5345250
Edit 2: I guess i didn't test properly initially. It seems it is NOT possible to use the same SSI twice on a page... What a bummer!!!

This issue was resolved in a different thread where s member supplied the following information...
t's certainly possible depending on the PHP command which you use as the include directive.
<?php require_once('includes/include-address.php'); ?> will only include the file once
<?php require('includes/include-address.php'); ?> will include the file more than once
<?php include('includes/include-address.php'); ?> will include the file more than once
Each has its own rules and quirks.

Using the same photos and music between two user accounts in the same Mac

Hi,
I think this question might have already been asked in the forum.
1. I have one MacBook Pro and two user accounts (One for me and one for my wife)
2. We are having two seperate iPhones with seperate AppleIDs
3. We want to maintain the apps / calendar / mail / reminders / contacts as seperate - Through iCloud (Seperate Apple ID approach) - All this is fine
4. All we want to have it shared is the Music files and the Photo library without duplicating
I have tried the shared folder approach for the music and having the iTunes point to that directory for the libary location in the preferences but unfortunately if she adds a folder to the library mine does not get updated unless I do a add folder to library and vice versa.
Whats the best way to deal with the Photos / Music sharing between two user accounts on the same mac
Thanks
Shas

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"
