Viewing and Editing Issues with iPhoto 09

While I have enjoyed the new features of iPhoto 09 vs iPhoto 08, there are two differences that may be bugs or may be "new features." The first is that while viewing images within an event, the image zoom slider in the lower right corner of the window will no longer zoom an image to full view within the image browser. I only get a minimum of three images left to right. Any ideas why I can't zoom fully without opening the edit window or clicking on the image to zoom it to full screen (not within the image browser)?
The second question has to do with editing. When I take a portrait image and open the editing window, the image is rotated into landscape mode. This did not happen in iPhoto 08. Is anyone else seeing this? If so, is this a new "feature" or a bug?
All of all of my images are stored as RAW file format.

Thank you both.
For the image viewing, I'll accept that things sometime change. In fact, if you click once on an image so that it is highlighted, you can go in and out of zoom by touching the space bar, and then navigate with the left and right arrows at full screen.
When I encounter an image that has a rotation issue in edit, I'll use Revert to Original to fix the image.
I've been using iLife/iPhoto since they first came out years ago, and the interface generally added things, not remove them...oh, well, in iPhoto 09, the good clearly outweighs the bad. I only wish I now had a camera with built-in GPS, but I've still been having fun entering locations for all of my photos.

Can I use iPhoto to view and edit images not stored in the iPhoto Library

Hi folks,
I'm a newbie to Mac after 20+ years on PC...just switched 2 weeks ago....wish I'd done it years ago. Everythings so easy and fast...e.g. setup wireless broadband in 25 mins with no probs....and I have never done anything like that.
Here's my Q.
I have a load of images, downloads and scans, of old manuscripts, authors etc. which I don't really want in my iPhoto library (which I would like to keep for actual photos. Is it possible to point iPhoto to another location (say in Documents) where it will let me view and edit these images without importing them into the library.
Alternatively can I view images as thumbnails in this other locations, and not as default file type icons.
Hope this is plain,

Hi jp-mac,
iPhoto 5 imports all images into it's own database. (this has changed with iPhoto 6 so you might want to check out iLife 6)
The other files you want to view but not have in the library...are they image files?
If so, you can view that folder as icons and then make the icons larger so you can see what they are.
To do this open the folder in question. click the first icon on top of View in the toolbar. This will make that folder contents view as icons
Now go all the way to the top of your screen and click on View>show view options.
Slide the icon size slider all the way to the right to view them larger. Also make sure you have the "show icon preview" checked.
This will work most of the time, but sometimes if you edit images in other applications they might not make icon previews, so check their preferences to make sure you have that checked.
There is also a little third party program that will do it for you.
One is called Pic2Icon
Pic2Icon
Another one is a contextual menu item called QuickImageCM.
QuickImageCM
check out that page because there are some other useful contextual menu items that I use all the time.

Trouble with viewing font on spine of Photo book. I can't find a way to view and edit the text which appears on the spine of the dustcover or the book itself when printed.

I can't find a way to view and edit the text which appears on the spine of the dustcover or the photo book itself. When I preview the book it appears on the dustcover and the book, but not when I'm back in the creation or editing windows. I've printed 4 books in a series and two spines are one font size, and two others are a different font size. One of the books has a shortened title on the book spine.

The text on the spine will be the same text that is in the Title text box on the title page. You can change the font and style of that text just like you change any text in Aperture. Aperture will size and center the spine text for you
If you want the content or the font and style of the text to be different from your Title box text then you have to trick the program a bit. Put the text that you want in the spine into the Title text box and then move that box to a place on the page where it will not be visible when printed ( Y coordinate -1.0 inches for example). Don't move it too far away or it will be hard to get back to in order to make an edit. Then make a new text box on the title page and put the text you want on the cover in that. (Or make a book without text on the cover , but with text on the spine).
You are 100% correct in that you can not preview this unless you preview the printed book

How to view and edit local contacts

in your contacts settings, turn OFF all contact accounts (SIM, BBM ETC) then afterwards you should be able to just see your local contacts.

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files in Bridge, they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's so I can view and edit them?

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files with Bridge they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's or something I can view and edit?

You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6

Would anyone happen to know if the Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6? Even with a manual install the Help feature launches without issues the first time and won’t launch after the second time. This is the message we are receiving on Windows 7:
“Help viewer is not installed check your internet connection and reinstall InDesign”

Can you try the option mentioned in 2nd para of the reply, if you are connected to internet?
You can try changing the preference "General Settings" > "Display Local Help content only" to "No" so that application launches the online help content.
-Anup.
YES! It does help.Thank you very much. I changed the setting yesterday but side tracked before I see the online content works. So in general scope, yes it takes me to the online help center, which gives me options for more "community" answers. So yes, thank you for making me look further.
However, I really was a fan of the local help that looked like and felt like the user manuals produced by Adobe, not just blogs, and more message boards. So I am still partially dismayed that I take the time to download and update the local help files, but can't use them. And wish Adobe would just fix the problem, so I can have immediate access to user manuals without having to surf all over for answers. Perhaps this is a novice thought, but I liked reading it in manual formats provided by the amnufacture of the software.
Thanks again though for the help and it will just have to get used to this method. UNLESS you can tell me good news of something else I am missing?

Viewing and editing versions

I am confused by versions.
When I edit an image in Aperture in Photoshop and save it with a new name, or just save it, I can tell that it is saving a version of it, as I can track it down in the package contents. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to access it from within Aperture. I have to move or copy it from the folder in the package to my desktop and then re-import it into Aperture.
There must be some way I can view and edit these versions from with Aperture.
I have found nothing in the manual or on the web site that tells me anything about this.
Help!
Thanks,
--Kenoli

It seems that Aperture is more about image adjustments, whether done within Aperture or in an external editor than about doing any layout like things, such as combining images into one file. Am I perceiving this correctly?
That is correct; see Kirby Krieger's answer here:
Re: commercial photography methods.
I guess if one wants to make any significant changes to an image file the best way to do this is to export the image or images, edit them as files outside of aperture and re-import. Am I perceiving this correctly?
Yes, that is correct; but Aperture has the plug-in interface to do external editing, or you send your image to an external editor. That leaves the image you are working on in its project, and keeps all metadata tags you assigned.
To add captions and borders to your images try the BorderFX plug-in (http://www.iborderfx.com/BorderFX). It can add custom tags and tags from metadata presets to your images.
To view the image on a grid with metadata captions I create a web page (or smart webpage) from the album with selected images (File > New > Web Page). For each web page you can customize the metadata preset to be displayed with the thumbnails or the details image; for me, it is the easiest way to get a comprehensive list of the metadata assigned to the images. You can print the webpage from your Webbrowser after exporting it to disk.
For example: Metadata shown below the thumbs in a smart webpage
Or create a book page (File > New > Book). If you create custom pages in an Aperture Book, you can arrange your images freely and also can add your captions based on the Metadata tags, see Kirby Kriegers thread here:
Print several Images at different sizes on one sheet?

Publishing ical so that others can view and edit calendars

I would like to make my ical viewable for someone in another country and would like for them to be able to make changes to it, so that if either of us wants to make changes we can and it will sync as we make changes. I know that if you publish a calendar others can view it, but they can't make changes.
Does anyone have any idea of how to do this?
Thanks

I am considering purchasing an iphone. I'd like to use ical for our family calendar, but want my husband to view and edit the calendar from his computer at work. Can we do this? I've been reading and it sounds like maybe if we purchase the mobileme package at another $69/year. But maybe not even then? Perhaps it is just better to use googlecalendar from my iphone and have him view/edit from his work computer? Will googlecalendar work well from my iphone? I'm unfamiliar with ical or googlecalendar, but we are ready to move our family calendar online. Any advice is appreciated.

Can someone explain how I post PDFs on iCloud? I use the app Goodreader to view and edit PDFs on my iPad

I am trying to upload PDF documents from my MacBook to iCloud so that I can view and edit them in Goodreader, an app on my iPad, but I cannot add them to Pages on the iCloud website. How do I upload them?

the latest version of the iOS app GoodReader has been updated to use the iCloud sync features. You can open, store, and edit PDF files and they'll automatically sync with GoodReader on all other devices. Documents are stored in iCloud and will also sync with any Mac that is setup to sync with iCloud. The Mac will automatically have a folder where you can open synced files or add new files from your Mac. details of how to do this are in the GoodReader help files.
Note: I have no affiliation with GoodReader other than as a happy customer.

Entering and editing descriptions in iPhoto

Are there any suggestions for entering and editing descriptions in iPhoto 11? The user interface is cumbersome if the description is longer than two lines. My workaround has been to upload to flickr and edit there so it syncs back to iPhoto

Thanks for your reply. Thats a workaround but about the same as what Im doing in flickr. At least with flickr if I do any edits they will sync back to the photo. The functionality of the description field in '11 is a serious step backward from what it was in the previous version. I submitted feedback a few months ago but was hoping someone here had good suggestions.

Project Server 2013: Timesheet Managers are able to view and edit all resources' timesheets

Regarding the Timesheet Managers list, per this
Office Blog post: "This feature is designed to support scenarios where the regular timesheet approver may be out of the office or any other scenario where a user must submit their timesheet to a different approver each period."
In Project 2013, a resource must be added to the Timesheet Managers list in order to be able to approve timesheets. With that, is there a way to restrict the resources in the Timesheet Managers list from viewing and editing timesheets where they are
not the resource's designated timesheet approver?

Hi,
As far as I know, the users that are in the timesheet manager list will not see all the timesheets but only the ones they have been designated as approvers. Did you experienced a different behavior? Can you detail it?
Here is an excellent
blog post which explains in detail how does this feature works.
Hope this helps,

How to insert and edit equations with Math Type in IBA??

Hi,
I want to add fractions in IBA with Math Type.
Here is what i found:
And here is the General Preferences
Like you see, i can't select Insert and edit equations with Math Type, it's grey.
How can i use Math Type?
Tx

We have an article that describes not only how to use MathType with iBooks Author (iBA), but also using LaTeX and MathML. http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/works_with.asp#!target=ibooks_author_m ac
It's important to note that no matter how you get equations into iBA, all equations are represented as MathML in the published iBook. (except, obviously I hope, equations that are simply images that you insert)
