Warning Badge on images

Some pictures in my aperture book are showing yellow warning symbols in the top corner. I can't find a listing for what these symbols mean. I don't want to send the book to print and have it returned with big blank spots. My initial thought was that is had something to do with the location of the master files.
I've been making the book using images from multiple cameras. The majority of the book is made from images in one project but some images were dragged in from other projects. All appear to have moved across fine except for this warning symbol. I've tried experimenting by removing images from the book, making duplicates of the originals and replacing the marked pictures with the duplicates but this has no effect. I have made a new top level folder and put all the projects concerned into this but then lots of my pics went blank so I re-seperated them.
It could just as easily have something to do with quality, image re-sizing . . anything. Has anyone come across this before or is there somewhere where aperture will tell me why its showing those symbols??

Suz,
The photo file you are using is too small.
Example: 220Kb file as opposed to a 2 MB file
The 220Kb file will work, however, it may be pixelated and won't look as nice. I'm not saying you have to use a 2 MB file or higher, just an example.
Also, if you resize a photo within your photo album, and you go with too much zoom, the warning sign may also appear. If you get the warning sign, just zoom back until it is gone.
Your photo may look fine on the computer, but when it is printed out, it may become blurry and/or pixelated if it has a warning sign.

  • Warning Badge on all images in library but they are not referenced images.

    Hi All,
    I have my main library located on a server with all images within the library. I don't have any up to date vaults.
    I was having issues with one project where it was showing me 'unsupported image' so I set up a vault, backed it up and then rebuilt the library. When it came back all images have the warning badge with an arrow as if they are referenced files that have moved location or something?
    I am currently trying to rebuild the library again before I try restoring the last (flawed) vault to the local hard drive.
    Has anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks
    Max

    YEEESSS! Thank God.........
    I checked inside the project again and compared it with a working project on another manchine and noticed the / had turned to some weird scissor symbol. I guess this must have happened when I enabled Airport backup on my QNAP which turns the share into AFP.
    I am now manually changing them back to / and they are relinking back into the library - Phew!!
    I guess I will have to start Keeping the library on the local drive. I do the same with my macbook pro but have older images referenced to the server to save space, maybe I should use the same tactic on the Mac Pro. I guess that means that the Vault only holds the metadata and not the images as they will be on the NAS, however that is RAID protected so should be ok.
    Thanks!

  • Photomatix plug-in's HDR merged image has suddenly stopped showing up as part of the stack, yet when I repeat the merge it warns that these images are already merged. I have the merged image labeled with a HDR suffix.

    I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.

  • Yellow warning sign om image in photos

    I am in my photos and on some of the images there is a little yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it and a little arrow behind what does this mean???

    The yellow triangles (Aperture uses two different ones for different meanings) are Badges.  They appear as part of your Metadata Overlays.  Here is the User Manual page with a chart showing all the Badges:

  • Deleted disk image generates warning that disk image failed to mount

    When I got a new MacBook a month ago, I created a disk image to share an iPhoto library on the same computer. Now I am using an external hard drive to share the library. I deleted the disk image in Disk Utility, but when I start up I get the warning that the disk image failed to mount.
    Any ideas?

    Deleting the disk image from the trash seems to have fixed the problem.

  • Low resolution warning with 8Mpixel image?

    I've finished a new large size hardcover book, and some of the full page size (landscape) images with have 8 megapixel raw files as sources have low resolution warnings - some, but not all of them. Some of the photos have been edited in photoshop, and none of these have warnings. With the unedited pics, some have warnings, some don't - there doesn't seem to be any specific reason why some of the files have warnings. I haven't tried to actually buy the book, so I don't know what will happen with ordering. But it seems 8 megapixels should be fine for a large book landscape page.

    Limnidytis:
    What size book and theme are you using? I'm not familiar with the RAW files but remember reading about there's a couple of files that get uploaded, the raw file and a jpg for viewing - something like that. Check and make sure it's the RAW file that's in the book and not the jpg file for viewing. Click on one of the files in the book and type Command-I to bring up the Info window for it. There you'll see the image size size in pixels and file size in KB or MB. As I said I'm not familiar with those files so may be way off on this.
    As far as resolution is concerned it’s the overall pixel dimensions of the file that are important. For example a 3512 x 2338 pixel file will have a resolution of about 585 dpi for a 4 x 6 print. If you expand that to an 8 x 12 print (so we don’t have to crop) the resolution will drop to about 292.
    A 3512 x 2338 file will give approximately a resolution of 275 if printed at an 8.5 x 11 size or approximately a full page photo in a large book. 275 is sufficient for that size print.
    iPhoto will often report the dpi at 72 but the size it’s looking at may be somewhere around 48 inches for the larger side. This can be seen if you have an editor like Photoshop Elements where you can go in and change the dpi and pixels on a side and see how the size in inches changes.

  • When I attempt to download Firefox 3.5.10 I get a warning stating "disk image failed to mount - corrupt image", what can I do?

    I am attempting to download "Firefox 3.5.10", each attempt the results state "The disk image failed to mount due to corrupt image". I really need this browser for my on-line learning. Please help! By the way 2.0 downloaded fine, but is not compatible with the University web site.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Every time I attempted to download Firefox 3.5.10

    Ran into this problem this afternoon. Had to download after the latest version failed to start after progressively becoming a bit tweeky. Got the failed to mount message also broken pipe, even though I am running 10.4.
    I went into Mac OS Updates and downloaded the latest version of Java Script. After restart I was able to mount the new Firefox and it seems to be working now.

  • Builds warns for missing menu background image

    Hi guys,
    I'm having trouble with building a project. I have four menus; two for each language.
    The first one (Swedish) works fine, scripting and branching is OK.
    The second one (English) does not work at all. Even though I have set background and overlay image in the English menu(s), build warns that no image is set.
    What should I do?
    In my other post the English branch is not run at all, even if everything seems to be correct in Simulator, it does not work in DVD player.

    I'm using the UB version. The assets are all there, have double-checked.
    I always use TIFFs for backgrounds and overlays, since layered menu could cause problems. (If not, they are at least slower on playback).
    Alternate language menus? You must be joking, right? I would NEVER trust the viewer to set up their stand-alone DVD or computer to match language settings. Nope, plain old "duplicate" menus, with different graphics and scripting to stay in either menu branch.
    I did the whole thing from scratch, using all the same assets. Now it works just fine.
    This is a first time for me.... hopefully the last, too!

  • HT4101 I discovered a fatal flaw in the iPad procedure for downloading images from camera to iPad: after selecting the images to be downloaded, an accidental touch of the "delete" button, wipes all selected images from the camera, with no warning?

    After downloading some 60 images from camera to iPad, I was "scrolling" down to select the last images, and inadvertently touched the "Delete" button that appears at the top right of the screen, when the "Select" option is chosen. I did not notice the warning "Delete 60 Images?", and continued scrolling down, when my finger touched the warning message. All my precious images were instantly deleted from the camera The sensitive touch screen feature makes this a real problem. Apple should "fix" this unacceptable feature, surely! I suggest that the images on the camera memory card should not be able to be deleted from the iPad, and this shpuld require to be done using the camera controls only. Similarly, the "Delete" or "Keep" options that appear after importing a selection from the camera, should NOT allow the images on rthe camera to be deleted, but only the imported (downloaded) images on the iPad. This unnecessary option could easily delete precious images from the camera!
    Apple should remove the option to delete images from the camera, and the iPad touch screen commands should olny delete images on the iPad. (Alternatively, the "delete option should be on a separatly accessed "page".)
    Surely enough users of the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" will agree with the above?

    No, I don't agree. Whenever you connect a camera to a computer you are given the opportunity to delete the photos on the camera after downloading in precisely the same way the iPad does this. The fact that you touched Delete and then ignored the Warning doesn't change anything.
    I've loaded thousands of photos on my IPad and never have had that problem.
    Don't blame a moment of carelessness on your device.

  • Importing note and warning images (assigned via reference pages)

    Hi all,
    I am importing a document that contains warning and note images that are assigned to certein paragraph styles via the reference pages. Naturally these do not convert using the standard settings.
    My first attempt was to assign numbering settings to these paragraphs before importing and to use the 'convert to HTML list' setting. Then I tried to assign image styles to the generated lists in the CSS using  list-style: url("image_for_warning.jpg");
    If I assing this to the paragraph styles (p.something) then it works in preview, but most browsers dont support it.
    The problem: Robohelp generates an awfull mess when converting lists to HTML.
    When I use an ordered numbering setting in FM, then Robohelp creates this:
    <ol >
      <li style="1"><p class="warning">..
    When I use an unordered numbering setting in FM (using characters as bullets), Robohelp generates this:
    <ul type="disc">
      <li><p class="warning">..
    I never get a clean HTML list with a specific style assigned to the UL. Any ideas to this?
    Robert

    Hi Robert,
    I agree with you that RH doesn't provide an easy way to format the lists as you like, but it doesn't have much to do with FrameMaker.
    The HTML that you're creating is good, it's the CSS that needs to be tweaked. I had the privelege of access to a true CSS expert at a previous job; he got my lists to work properly.
    I realized 2 things while watching him solve the problem:
    Because of browser and version issues, CSS is a real headache. He would sometimes use 3 or 4 different CSS options for the same formatting value, and most of this was simply arcane knowledge of allowable CSS attributes and allowable CSS values.
    Money spent to address these issues is well-spent
    It would be nice if Adobe were able to develop this feature for HTML lists within Robohelp, but from what I've seen, their RH Lists option is the closest you can expect to see.

  • IPhoto '09 can't "locate" a recent set of imported images

    ISSUE
    NOTE: This is for a MANAGED iPhoto library NOT a Referenced one, and the original image files DO exist and are located in both the source location and the iPhoto Library.
    Late last friday (11/6) suddenly started getting the following error messages on a specific set of images imported into iPhoto from an external Hard Drive:
    • The photo “classes.nib” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.
    The quoted filename varies, but are all like the above, NOT the actual image filename.
    I've had the message before, (rarely and not for years) but normally the filename in quotes is the name of the selected image i.e. "IMG_2251.jpg, etc. and has always been due to the actual file no longer existing for one reason or another (usually some thing I did)
    The error message only appears during Preview of the image set in the Library >"Photos" index section.
    I am currently ignoring the warning, since:
    • the images DO appear to exist (in iPhoto Library> Originals > [the year] > [the date]
    • are obviously being managed by iPhoto,
    • can be edited by iPhoto (see more info below)
    But this obviously makes me nervous about the integrity of my photo library (i do have time machine and some disc media backups of many (not all, yet) albums, but still ...
    CONFOUNDING FACTORS
    1. Despite the error message:
    • the image preview appears (not an "!" or "?") before and after dismissal of the message
    • I can continue on to edit the image from the preview step.
    • I can right click on the preview, select "Show Original File" and iPhoto locates the original image in the iPhoto Library Package file.
    2. It does not appear if:
    • I ignore the message and continue on to to edit the image
    • I preview the image in the "Library > Events" index section.
    • I preview the image in the "Recent > Last Import" index section.
    3. Trashing, and emptying trash (from any index view) then re-importing them hasn't helped.
    4. All offending photos can be opened, viewed and edited in various image viewers, editors (Preview.app, the Finder Quickview, Photoshop CS 3, Graphic Converter
    5. Subsequent imports don't appear to have the problem.
    SUGGESTS:
    • A database problem?
    RESOLUTION STEPS:
    Attempted with no corrective results.
    1. Trashed problem photos and emptied iPhoto Trash, reimported images from Ext. HD via drag-n-drop to library index
    2. Above, re-imported via File > Import to Library ...
    3. Above 1 and 2 import steps with files copied to Local HD
    4. Step 3 above with duplicated files (via File > Duplicate)
    5. Opened a photo file in Preview, did save as ..., imported into iPhoto
    6. Step 5 above with Photoshop CS3, slightly cropped image, saved as, imported into iphoto.
    7. Ran "Disk Utility > Verify and Repair Disk" from Snow Leopard Install Disc (there were file and folder count mismatch issues)
    8. Re-ran Verify afterwards with clean bill of health.
    RECREATION STEPS:
    Unknown on how to initially trigger but the last and only iPhoto Console logs appear to be from around the time the issue began:

    RESOLVED (if not altogether answered)
    Performed the iPhoto database rebuild cha-cha again - this time selecting ALL checkboxes (previously only selected "Rebuild from backup)
    After rebuild, some photos appeared to be fixed, but photos that still showed the the error were all within specific Photo Rolls and DID NOT allow me to "show original file" on right click.
    On inspection within the iPhoto Library package, the remaining problem photo files were all ALIASES, not actual image files.
    Although the error dialog allowed me to to try and find the missing original, browsing for it didn't work. All image files listed in the browser were grayed out and not selectable.
    SO, not sure if this was kosher, but the following seemed to clear things up:
    * found real images for the aliased files on archived media
    * copied the real files over the aliases of the same file name
    * accepted finders warning that I was replacing files of the same name
    * returned to the iPhoto rolls and previewed the previously error prone images
    NOTE: I DID NOT close iPhoto while I was doing this. Not sure how dangerous that was.
    iPhoto seemed none the wiser, and the error message was gone. (oddly, initially the first photo in each affected roll still threw up the error, but when I moved on the the next one and came back, all seemed well and the message was gone)
    Did not appear to be a rhyme or reason to which rolls contained aliases and which didn't - photo/file date stamps weren't contiguous (so it wasn't a problem of a series of event imports from the camera/card.)
    Best I can figure is somehow some sets were imported as referenced files although my iPhoto is set to use a managed library.
    I'm in the process of consolidating some older manually managed image archives, so I don't know when this happened, or if it's the result of some accidental duplication, aborted import or what. I DO know that I had not encountered this error before, and I know I reviewed the affected rolls some time in the past, long after I had imported them.
    Well, all seems to be on the mend. So life is good.
    Except for those crufty leftovers. May still want to do something about that.
    Thanks to Terence for leading me to look in the right places.

  • How can I control dpi when importing with Image Capture?

    This is not really an iPhoto question, but there is no forum for Image Capture - and I am hoping some iPhoto user has discovered a solution.
    I usually import my digital camera images into a folder using Image Capture, apply Photoshop corrections, THEN move the adjusted and re-named images to iPhoto for organization and storage.
    When I open the images for the first time in Photoshop, the Image Size box always shows the resolution as 72 dpi. I can easily convert this to 300 dpi in Photoshop, but I would prefer to avoid the extra step for every photo.
    So far, I have not been able to find any setting in either my camera menus or Image Capture to change the default from 72 dpi to 300 dpi - any suggestions?
    I am using Image Capture v3.0.3, Mac OS v10.4.11 and iPhoto v7.1.5
    thanks,
    -gw

    Old Toad said: "If these services printed your files at 72 dpi you would end up with very large prints."
    Obviously - which is exactly what I want to avoid!
    In fact Photoshop tries to do that, warning me: "The image is larger than the paper's area, some clipping will occur."
    Terence Delvin said: "When you print the density of those pixels will determine the quality of the print. So, change the density and the dimensions change. Change the dimensions and the density changes. See the relationship?"
    Yes, I understand all that perfectly.
    I guess my real question should have been:
    "Are there any print services or page-layout-type software applications that honor the exif data and try to print or re-size using a print resolution of 72 dpi without making the user re-define the density to something more print friendly?
    For example:
    I have a 3936x2624 pixel image for which Photoshop's Get Info shows the print resolution as 72 dpi. If I drag that image into a Microsoft Word document, then Word does some kind of magic resizing to fit the image on the width of my 8.5x11" document. With margins, the image is now about 4x6". Looks good on my screen (but then even a 72 dpi image would, wouldn't it).
    Obviously, MS Word downsized the image, but I can't find any way to make Word show me what print resolution it is choosing to assign to the resized image. It looks fine when printed, so I'm pretty sure that, in this case, something higher than 72 dpi was used.
    If ALL software of this type (word processing and page layout) automatically ignores the 72 dpi print resolution in the EXIF data when resizing, then it's a non-issue, as you suggest. Lacking, much real world experience with print-based projects, I wasn't sure if it was something to worry about - apparently not?
    Thanks,
    -gw

  • Images missing in Keynote 08

    I have often had this problem - in previous versions of Keynote - where a file would open up with a warning that various image files could not be found, even though they had never been moved from their original location. This entailed reloading them into the presentation. Today I opened a file with 50+ slides, each containing an image; the file opened without a warning and with all the thumbnails displaying on the left as they should, but none of the slides actually showed an image. I opened up the file in the Finder via 'show package contents' and all of the pictures are in there (png files), so why won't Keynote show them? I do not want to have to reload fifty picture files!

    The issue has not been solved by the 4.0.2 update.

  • Unavailable Master Images are present

    Trying to relocate masters to an external drive using Aperture 2.1. Project with many albums which I am relocating to folders with the same name as the album on an external drive. Most of the albums I was able to relocate. There are 4 where I get the "unavailable master images cannot be relocated" message. When I select and image to show in finder, it shows its location on my internal drive. I have rebuilt the library and still get the same message. I have gone to Manage referenced files and located all the images in the bottom window then click reconnect all. Still get the same message about unavailable masters. What am I missing?

    I am having the same problem. I had all my master images stored in one folder on an external 300gb hard drive. However, I noticed that in aperture, it said I had only 15,000 images while in the folder showed ~17,000 masters. What were these extra 2,000 images? I decided to try to separate these "unconnected" images from the real masters by relocating all my master images into another folder. All went well until I got the following warning:
    "Unavailable master images cannot be relocated. The selected master image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again."
    I was able to move most of the masters, but Aperture says I still have 3,009 masters in the original folder (which if I navigate to in the finder contains ~5,000 images). The strange thing is that if I right click on one of these images in aperture and select "show in finder" it finds them with no problem. It can't find them thought when trying to relocate.
    I have tried rebuilding the aperture library, manually moving the images into another folder and then attempting to relocate, and copying the masters to another hard disk and linking aperture to those masters. All with the same result.
    I am using Aperture 2.1.
    Any help here would be great.

  • Find previously imported images (Already in Catalog)

    Back in LR1 and LR2, when I tried to import images that were already present in the catalog, I had an option to show me / select the already imported images. This is gone in LR4. How can I find in the library the already imported images without fecthing them one by one ?

    Thanks john but after trying your suggestion things didn't change (importing an already existing image I get the message "no phots or videos were found to import"). As for my reasons of having such workflow, here is the explanation: I work as fashion photographer and I shoot about 500 pics per session. I use an external software to select the "good enough" images (as its preview is 20 times faster than the ridicously slow LR or other Adobe softwares) and the images selected in a first time can be (almost always are) different from those chose in a second time (as different people are involved in the editing process). @cornelia: images must be good enough to me or to the editor, not to LR, and we might have different opinion and in different moment. At the same time I cannot import 500 images a day in LR.
    In any case my main point is that this feature (i.e. the warning that the images were already in the catalog, and where) existed on previous releases of LR and now disappeared, apparently.

Maybe you are looking for
