Vista Photo Gallery Keywords & LR Tricksey

Assuming that LR 1 handles keywords the same way Beta 4.1 (Should I?), then separating two keywords with a forward slant bar in LR makes a "sub keyword" (What's the correct term for that?)in Photo Gallery. while separating them with a comma just adds two keywords. Is it like that in other organizers?

SecretPact:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions and in from the Darkside. . If the keywords are written into the IPTC fields in each photo then iPhoto can read them. But they have to be embedded into each file by Windows Photo Gallery. If you can go back to WPG and see if there's an option to write the metadata to the files and do it, you can reimport them and hopefully get the keywords to import. Try it on one or two photo that did not show the keywords first.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Windows Vista Photo Gallery displays incorrect colors? Photoshop?

Hi all
I have two PC's running Windows Vista that I work with and both have photoshop CS3 installed, but for what ever reason on one of the PC's the Windows Photo Gallery application displays really desaturated colors when views jpg's and the like (the other PC's displays them fine).
I've googled and haven't yet found out a quality solution, lots of info on simply combining and replacing drivers and the like and nothing really set in stone from Adobe, or Microsoft etc
Any help would be great

Are both your monitors hardware calibrated? Is Windows Photo Gallery a fully colour managed application?
If the answer to one or both questions is no then you cannot expect similar results.
If the monitors are calibrated and Photoshop has identical colour settings then the images should appear similar on each computer.

Hi Frank.
Thanks for the response.
Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
Thanks again,
PB

Photo gallery problems in Vista IE

Hi there,
I've made Spry Photo Gallery which works fine on Mac(Safari, Opera, Firefox) on Windows 2000 pro IE but don't work on Vista IE.
I can not find a problem. Can anyone help!

It is an HP dv6040ca that has vista 64-bit on it. It has a NVIDIA sata driver, that I have tried to up date today.
Drat. HP has been offering a Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Update/Rollback that has been helping with this sort of thing on desktop models (32-bit), but they aren't offering it on notebooks.
Are you up to date on that BIOS update they are offering? (They don't say what it does, but it might be worth a crack.)

Duplicate files appearing in Windows Photo Gallery under Vista Home Basic.

I am suffering a bout of duplications in my Windows Photo Gallery under Vista. I am getting duplicates, triplicates and quadruple versions of the original file.
Despite turning off all Autoplay media types to 'No Action', I get random duplicates when I try to enter update pictures from camera or memory chip through a USB port. There is no 'Enter Updates Only' option, and Microsoft says that this is unnecessary as
duplication is prevented. The duplicates however appear with 'copy' in the file name after the image numbering system. My preference is to view the memory contents via 'Computer' - select and open the port, and view, then copy and paste into Photo
Gallery. Photo Gallery kicks in to view the chip correctly, but often/always (?) promptly uploads uncommanded. It did not used to do this, only in the last year or two.
What do I do, it is driving me crazy ?

Hi,
As I know, for Duplicate issue, it might be caused by a corrupted database, please try to rebuild it as a test.
Close Windows Photo Gallery
First show hidden files.Navigate to C:\Users\Usename\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo GalleryRename “Pictures.pd” to “Pictures.pd.old” (without quotes) and reopen Windows Photo Gallery.

Importing from "Windows Photo Gallery"

New User,
failed to find an answer after 30 minutes of searching the discussion groups. So here goes:
Just got my first Mac and I have successfully imported 18,000 photos which I managed on my windows vista box using "Windows Photo Gallery".
The problem is none of the tags were imported as keywords. Anyone have a clue if this is possible or what I am missing?
Cheers

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Can you force your Windows app to write those keywords to the IPTC data on the files? If not then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

Transfering Windows Photo Gallery tags to iPhoto

Hi there everyone! I just bought a macbook . I transferred my pictures from my Vista desktop to my new macbook using an external HD. However, the tags from Windows Photo Gallery did not transfer over as keywords into iPhoto . The weird thing is some tags did transfer on a couple of pictures (around 10). Does anybody know any solutions to this?

Tags: PSE6 versus Windows Live Photo Gallery

Hi,
I'm a Photoshop Elements 6 user who's mostly please with the program. I've avoided the organizer because tags assigned there don't seem to show up in Windows or Live photo gallery.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed for PSE8? I am interested in upgrading for the face recognition feature but its useless if it assigns the tags in a header format that Windows 7 / Live Photo Gallery don't use.
Any idea if PSE8 uses a windows readable header? Or am I doing something wrong with PSE6 with the tagging that it doesn't show up in Vista or Win7 tools?
Thanks,
Brian

You have to tell PSE to explicitly write the tags back into the industry-standard metadata fields, using the File > Write Keyword Tags command. Beware that it is buggy -- if you find your tags not getting written correctly, you can use the utility psedbtool:

Generate Photo Gallery XML for Spry with Adobe Bridge

Wanted to post a note to what I've discovered/worked out -- a
way to
generate a very useful photos.xml from Adobe Bridge. If you
use Bridge,
it's very easy to add titles, keywords, ratings -- all kinds
of metadata
that one might use in a photo gallery. Here it is in case
anyone wants
to use.
The script is based on one I found at the Adobe User to User
Bridge
Scripting Forum for exporting a CSV file.
Note 1: this particular script doesn't take into account
CDATA that
might exist in your metadata, like ampersands in your title.
I've just
avoided using those, but you could also have the script write
out a
CDATA node for that info instead.
Note 2: this script does not write out a thumbpath,
thumbwidth or
thumbheight attribute. But usually the thumbpath is the exact
same as
the regular "path" attribute, and the thumbwidth and
thumbheight are
just a ratio of the regular "width" and "height" attributes.
I added a
bit of JS to the gallery.js file to calculate those before
growing the
thumbnail on rollover.
Personally I'm using keywords as categories and titles as
captions and
sorting by rating (stars in Bridge), so here's the .jsx file
I created.
The script should be saved to the folder "StartupScripts" in
Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe.
Hope this is useful for others too!
#target bridge
if (BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
// create menu
var menu = MenuElement.create( "command", "Export XML File",
"at the end
of Tools");
menu.onSelect = function(m) {
try {
// ask for the name of the output file
var f = File.saveDialog("Export XML file to:", "XML
File:*.XML");
if ( !f ) { return; }
// open filestream and write first line
f.open("w");
f.writeln("\<photos\>\r\r");
// get a list of all the visible thumbnails in Bridge
var items = app.document.visibleThumbnails;
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) { var item = items
f.writeln("\<photo path = \"" + item.name + "\"" + "\r" +
"width = " +
"\""+ getWidth(item) + "\"" + "\r" + "height = " + "\""+
getHeight(item)
+ "\"" + "\r" + "rating = " + "\""+ getRating(item) + "\"" +
"\r" +
"categories = " + "\""+ listKeywords(item) + "\"" + "\r" +
"caption = "
+ "\""+ getTitle(item) + "\"" + " \>" + "\r" +
"\<\/photo\>\r\r" ); }
f.writeln("\<\/photos\>");
f.close();
} catch(e) {
function getTitle(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
var varTitle = md.title;
return varTitle;
function getWidth(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/"
var varWidth = md.ImageWidth;
return varWidth;
function getHeight(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/tiff/1.0/"
var varHeight = md.ImageLength;
return varHeight;
function getRating(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/"
var varRating = md.Rating;
return varRating;
function listKeywords(tn) {
md = tn.metadata;
md.namespace = "
http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";
var Keywords = md.Keywords;
var varKeywords = "" ;
for ( var i = 0; i < Keywords.length; ++i ) { varKeywords
= varKeywords
+ Keywords + ","; }
return varKeywords;

I updated the script so it exports an XML file from Bridge
with full
compatibility with the Spry Demo Photo Gallery, to use as
photos.xml.
It's at the same address:
http://www.imagicdigital.com/spry/bridge_export_xml.zip
To Use:
The script goes in the folder "StartupScripts" in Program
Files/Common
Files/Adobe.
Launch Bridge and browse to a folder that contains the files
you want in
your gallery -- the "source" folder, as it were.
Choose the menu command "Tools > Export XML for Spry
Gallery".
Type a name for your XML file in the Save dialog box, choose
a location,
and hit "Save".
In the dialog box that pops up, enter a max length/width for
your
thumbnails, in pixels. Some common sizes are "75" , "100" or
"125".
Hit "OK". You should see an alert pop up telling you "XML
file
successfully created!"

Web Photo Gallery - Contact info not functional?

When I build a web gallery, using the Flash Gallery (default) in the 'Template Browser', no matter what info I put in the 'Contact info' and 'Web or Mail link' boxes (under Site Info), it does not work.
Example, under 'Contact info' I put the word 'Contact'....in the 'Web or Mail Link' I put 'mailto: [email protected] (I have not put my actual email here for purposes of this forum, and yes my email address is valid and will both send and receive in Outlook).
So anyways, when I upload the new web gallery using Dreamweaver CS3, or if I just simply preview it using the 'Preview in Browser' button, well the word 'Contact' appears in the upper right corner of the web page (photo gallery - as it should since that is what I put as word in the 'Contact info' box, but yet when I click on the word 'Contact' it it does nothing. Actually when I click on the word 'Contact' the first time, there is a line that appears below (as if to identify a link). But as I say it does nothing, opens no email window, nada! Except for when I click on the word 'Contact' subsequently, there is no more line underneath as if the link had become inactive???
I tried using another email address of mine, which is also shorter, but it does not work either....I also tried putting my main homepage address into the ''Web or Mail link' box and still nothing happens...it's as if the link is not functional...?
Has anybody else experienced this? Am I doing something wrong? Is it maybe just a Flash Gallery bug? (Because I have not tried using other type galleries i.e Blue Sky)

I have the exact same problem, step by step in Lightroom 2.4. I'm using Vista Ultimate SP2 and Internet Explorer 8.
Have anyone found a solution to this problem or is it just the two of us?

Photo gallery able to reorganise into subcategories + adding new images via in-browser editing

Hi,
I'm looking for a photo gallery which has the ability to reorganise the images displayed based on subcategories or tags. For example I want to add a gallery which contains photos of a clients projects. The client wants site visitors to be able to shuffle the gallery to view only for example "stone walls" or "timber decking". A tagging system would be handy rather than having to load the photos into each subcategory.
The other consideration is that my client needs to be able to add new images with tags using the in-browser via Business Catalyst. So far I have only succeeded in replacing existing images rather than adding new images.
Is there such a widget for Muse or are there anyother widgets for wordp-ress or other which could be embedded to tdo the job.
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy

Hi Jimmy
If I am not wrong, basically you want to provide users an option to select category of images which they want to show up on page.
From Muse we cannot tag or categorize them , also photogallery module in BC does not provides this option, but there is a workaround with web apps.
You can create a web app and then web app items as images and then categorize them. On page insert the web app with categories drop down, so when users will select the category those web app items would be displayed on page. Additionally you can add custom fields in web app to search using keyword.
With editing , clients can login to BC admin and then using photogallery module or web app module ( if used ) to edit the images, add new ones. IBE cannot be used to add new ones but to replace existing ones.

I'm having a problem with inserting a photo gallery created with Bridge

I sure could use some help.
Adobe Bridge - Why do I have a white bar on my page?
I am using windows vista, Dreamweaver cs4 and Adobe bridge to insert a photo gallery.
I am using an I-frame to embed a photo gallery that was created with Adobe Bridge CS4. Adobe Bridge instructed me to make the i-frame height = 75% of the width. The code is <iframe src="PhotoAlbum/index.html" width="900" height="675" frameborder="0"></iframe>
my css places the album in #photoalbum.
#photoAlbum contains the i-frame with the following properties:
#photoAlbum {
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
width: 900px;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
border-top-width: 2px;
border-top-style: groove;
border-top-color: #333;
I tried changing the width to 960, 900, 850 etc with no success.
I have tried making the background of #photoAlbum black with no success.
The link to the photo album is http://www.gigharborrealestate.com/smith/PhotoAlbum/index.html and shows no white bar.
The site that I am having problems with is http://www.gigharborrealestate.com/smith On the right side of the Point Richmond Photo Gallery is a white vertical bar. If you go to /PhotoAlbum/index.html there is no white bar.
Why does this bar show up when /PhotoAlbum/index.html is put into an I-frame? How can I get rid of the vertical bar?

insert the following into your code,
scrolling="no"
it should look like this
<div id="gallery"><iframe src="IMAGES/Adobe Web Gallery/index.html" scrolling="no" width="730" height="555" frameborder="0" name="web_gallery" style="background-color: #D8D9B4"></iframe></div>
hope it helps, good luck

Transferring Windows Photoshop CS2 web photo gallery styles in Mac Photoshop CS4 web photo gallery

Hi,
My name is JatinderPal Singh. I'm migrating from Vista to MAC and before I purchase the upgrade from Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop CS4 I need to know that can I continue to use my existing web photo gallery styles in CS4 after installing the add-on feature. Because I know web photo gallery is not default in CS4. We need to manually add this feature. I hear from other photographers that this is a problem. Can you please confirm that this is possible

Check this out:

Remember to install the Picture Package too.
Additionally, make sure you have updated to Photoshop 11.0.1 and applie the update to AOM, the Adobe Output Module.
