Web Gallery Export Bug

When exporting web galleries the default copyright line has an added character in it. It looks like this:
Photographs: Â© 2006
Is anyone else experiencing this bug as well, or is it just me?
And is there any way to avoid it, without having to go into each page and edit it out manually. I like that line on top of my pages, and dont really feel like regenerating hundreds of galleries that were created before this bug popped up in 1.1
I had hoped 1.1.1 would address it, but it didn't ...

this is for the gallery index pages:

<meta name="keywords" content="digital photos">
<meta name="description" content="A collection of digital photos.">
<meta name="author" content="ElTiDY">
</head>
<body class="gallery">

Web gallery export bug: Crop ratio change doesn't update correctly

I've just submitted this as a bug to the Aperture feedback site, but then realized that maybe I should have asked around to find out if it was just me or if it's an actual bug.
Try this: Export a web gallery to your site. Now change the cropped aspect ratio of one or more images in the gallery. Now export the gallery again and when Aperture asks if you want to Update or Replace the existing gallery, select Update. (This option is supposed to save time by only sending the changed files to the site.) The image that was cropped differently will still show up in the Index and Detail view with the old ratio, but the new dimensions will be stretched to fit the old ratio.
I've done this repeatedly and it's completely reproducible. The only way to get the gallery to display correctly is to select Replace when exporting the gallery. Obviously, if your gallery is larger than a handful of images this will take a while and it defeats the purpose of the Update option.
Does anyone find this same issue or am I the only one?

Yeah, that makes sense.
I'm thinking now that if I create a new version in the web gallery and crop it just for the web export the app will probably re-send that image out to the web site because it treats the new version as a different image. Since the new version really doesn't take up any meaningful hard drive space this wouldn't be a deal-breaker, but I would have to remember to NOT delete that version or change the crop ratio before uploading the gallery again.

Keep filenames in web gallery export

Currently Bridge will generate random filenames when using the web gallery export tool. Drawback of this is that when we manually upload the new images to a server, they don't overwrite the old ones. Okay, it's a matter of remembering to delete the old ones. But also, because we adapt the XML scripts with some more info, we have to re-adapt the XML files every time.
It would be superb if the 'web gallery output' sidebar could have a checkbox to 'keep original filenames'.

Well that's quite a pain. I would have thought that something as simple as exporting to consistent sizes would have been on the top of the 'bug' list. This is a major need for me to output precisely sized low-res photos.
<<btw, this has been discussed previously ... >>
Sorry! I did a search & nothing turned up, but I didn't scroll through all the pages.
Thanks for the tip. I hope someone comes up with a workaround...

Where is the display filenames option in web gallery export?

adobe bridge CS4, as i'm understanding this feature went away in later versions.
Just trying to export a web gallery that will include the file name beneath of it.
I thought the feature was non-existnant so I have spent a couple hunded bucks and about two years trying third party options, I prefer that the web gallery export look exactly like bridge.
in reading through these forums again, i see mention of to simply check "Show File Names" when I create a Web Gallery.
I cannot find this option anywhere.
just want to have web gallery with the names of the files beneath the images, if it were searchable, and could be organized by alpha-numerical order just like bridge, that would be what I wish.

adobe bridge CS4, as i'm understanding this feature went away in later versions.
In CS6 it is still there, only under the Template 'HTML Gallery'
Don't have experience myself with Web Gallery so no idea if this has changed but believe it has always been this way, maybe they changed the order of the templates?

Controlling filenames in web gallery export

I need to export photos of a specific size with the version names the same as the filenames, and since Aperture apparently can't export a batch of images (using the Fiel/Export function) without varying the size a pixel or two (see my thread: "Variable size on export"), I'm trying to use the web gallery function and sizing the pix the exact dimensions I need.
The problem is that Aperture insists on renaming the files "Picture 001, Picture 002, etc., and I need the filename to match the version name.
Anyone found a way to fix this?

Web Gallery export troubles w/ LR 2.3 update (Mac)

I regularly export web galleries (WG) using templates I have created. Earlier today I began having trouble, where LR2.2 would freeze
during a WG export, and I had to force quit LR.
At first, because LR was dragging so slowly, I thought it was a near-full startup disk, so I opened up 31 gb of free space, quit LR and restarted. After the problem reoccured, I thought it was because I had large Tiffs in the WG, which I had never done before, so I excluded them, but it did not help.
Finally I upgraded to LR 2.3, and immediately tried to output a small test WG. When I clicked 'save,' nothing would happen, that is,
the export window would disappear and there would be no indication in the progress bar that the WG was being created, and in Finder sure enough
nothing was created.
I tried several times. Then I tried it using my template without altering any text in the gallery, and it worked. I repeated this and it worked about 90% of the time. Then I tried it again with my larger web gallery (59 images) and again, nothing happened. I went
back to the simple gallery and it worked; back to larger gallery with text altered: did not work.
EDIT: I am finding it does not like a string of numbers in the "site info" boxes, such as my file number 090217.
Any ideas?
I am on an iMac Intel, with 4 gb ram, running 10.5.6
Thanks,
Jerry Mann.

>Bruce Morton:L.R. 2.3 windows and printer seem to be fighting for color control. I can not print in L.R. and get good colors. My monitor is calibrated and I have checked for a color managed by L.R. box. The color seems ok in CS4/Bridge. What am I missing or doing wrong? HELP!
There are quite a few printer related threads in this forum and you don't say what OS/printer you have but you could start here:

Posting under a Gallery thread might not be the best way to have your question read by those who know about printer problems :)

Aperture 3 PAINFULLY slow on Web Gallery Export

Well, I've just upgraded to Aperture 3 and I have to say I really love all the UI and adjustment improvements. I've had a few crashes, but nothing terrible or shocking or too inconvenient.
Now, though, I've finished processing and editing a job and am attempting to export my web galleries for my client to see and the whole thing grinds to a screeching halt. I'm looking at the activity window and while it's been exporting for 45 minutes already I only have 110 of 340 WEB images exported. What gives? Aperture 2 would've exported this whole thing in 20-30 minutes at the very most. This thing is C R A W L I N G along.
Am I doing something wrong?
I know there was some talk of ensuring that Ap3 was running in 64 bit mode to get the best performance. Trouble is, I have a 24" 3.06Ghz iMac (4 GB RAM) and I can't even figure out if the **** thing supports 64 bit mode. Can't find any details on Apple's tech specs site. But really. . . can that be it?
I'm really shocked that this web export is going so tediously slowly. It seems like the processing/export engine should've improved in speed from Ap2, not gotten so much worse.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd surely appreciate it.
I'm sure I'll still be here watching the export crawl along by the time someone pipes up.
Other than this issue, though. . . Man it's an amazing UI improvement.
Thanks.
max.

Unfortunately, this is a big problem with the program. I did some experiments and found that the more adjustments you have layered up, the slower the export goes.
For example, I took 15 virgin raws and they exported on average 6.7sec/photo, not too shabby, but the photos were of course, flat.
Then I did 15 raws that I had applied a bunch of adjustments to, including shadows/highlights and some minor dodging. These took 14 minutes (56sec/photo).
I turned off the s/h brick in these photos and they exported in 5 mins flat, basically 1/3 of the time.
The other night I exported a photo that I had used s/h, and extensive brushing on. 1 photo took over 10 mins (I didn't time it exactly). So it appears that the big culprits are brushing and shadows/highlights.
I filed a bug report to Apple, via the feedback option in the Aperture menu. I suggest you carry out your own testing and do the same. Hopefully it's something that can be addressed, as I find shadows/highlights and brushing quite useful for the photos I take.
One more thing: a Mea Culpa of sorts.
In another thread titled "Aperture Frustrations" I had mentioned about switching to another program. Yes, I too was frustrated.
Well I tried that for a day or two, and well, I'm back. I had come from V2 of that program to Aperture and realized why I did it in the first place. Aperture just does such a nice job with my 7D raw files and everything about the workflow is just better. I really missed the level of control I have with curves, levels, shadows/highlights etc. Not to mention the very good DAM aspects of A3.
Even though there are annoying performance problems, I am willing to ride it out and hope for the best (i.e. a performance patch). However, you can bet that Apple will be getting bug reports and enhancement requests from me on a regular basis!
We all deserve this thing to work as advertised, and once it does, I think you'll see lots of people switching over.

Web gallery image setting control

Develop settings persist in slideshow, but web galleries seem to have had the settings changed considerably. Has anyone else seen the not-at-all-subtly increased brightness (gamma change?) on web gallery exported images? Is there a way to configure LR to not do this, or to set export preferences other than size and compression quality? Workarounds, if not? Other gallery software recommended (LR exports work fine for me, just not through the web gallery)?
My experience is on an Intel Duo iMac 10.4.10. (And staying there until Adobe releases LR for 10.5.)
I have searched the forum for previous discussions on the topic. I did not find anything relevant. Apologies if I missed something.
Thanks for any wisdom!

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you got an answer to this question. I am desperately trying to figure out how to post my pictures in their ORIGINAL SIZE to my web gallery.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS3 web gallery bugs(?); vanishing metadata, bad sort order

Running OS 1.5.4 on 24" Imac, I'm attempting to generate a "horizontal slideshow" from bridge-selected files in Photoshop CS3.
[Sounded like the problem in this post: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2 but on re-reading I've decided it's different so I'm giving it it's own thread, with more detail...]
Here's my experience:
1) Description and title show up for a second on the first slide, then revert to just the blank template on that and all subsequent slides (title: [blank] description: [blank]....
Hitting "refresh" produces the descriptive metadata for a tantalizing moment, then it' s back to the blank template for this and all subsequent slides. It does this both for Safari and Firefox.
You can view this behavior in a slideshow at http://oasisdesign.net/projects/earthtoilet/
If it asks for a password, use---
user:earthling
pass: draf1 )
"preserve all metadata" is checked.
I've tried all combinations of checking/ unchecking "title, description, filename" for labeling...also, making slideshows with just one or two slides to reduce the chance that it's a weird character issue of the type some other folks have experienced...
2) additionally, the web gallery is not respecting the manual sort order in Bridge, which is the source of the files. The help files say the slideshow should follow the manual sort order in Bridge.
3) Finally, metadata entered in bridge metadata tab sometimes vanishes, sometimes metadata entered in file info wouldn't show in the metadata tab.
Thanks for your help!!

BTW, here's the related issues I found:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2
...After some investigation, I found that the descriptions were disappearing only for photos that had a Return / Line Break in the description. If you go back and make sure all of your descriptions are a single line, it works fine....

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bd62ec3/0

OK...here's the hack I used to get around what I'm now totally convinced are program bugs and shortcomings relative to advertised functionality, for anyone else who has to deal with this, followed by my (suggested fixes to Adobe)...
1) Sort everything the way you want in bridge.
2) Make meta descriptions w/o weird characters (a warning here would be helpful)
3) Use "batch rename," with "copy to another folder" to give the images totally plain vanilla, DOS-style file names (001.jpg, 002.jpg...). This solves most filename issues and the works around web gallery's failure to recognize bridge sort order in one go. Note that you can irrevocably screw up the names of all your original files if you're not very careful to COPY at this step.
([a] make the bridge sort work directly, as advertised, por favor. [b] add an error message or warning about file names such as 006-(2).jpg causing malfunction. A compassionate, low-effort short-term patch for Mac users of web gallery, especially since bridge generates that particular sort name itself invisibly and automatically if you move a file with the same name into a folder)
4) Use "white on black" instead of bug-ridden "horizontal slideshow" (horizontal slideshow should be fixed or deleted from the next version...multiple slideshow options would be awesome, as they advance automatically at the max rate the user's bandwidth allows, a very attractive feature)
5) Restrict all images to the same height so users can click *in the same spot* to advance the 200 images with less carpal tunnel (the advance arrow should *always* be in the same spot, for every web gallery, IMHO)
Web galleries are a fantastic tool for sharing information easily...I hope to see some evolution in those great automatic updates someday...

Missing Metadata in Web Gallery images exported from Aperture.

Images that I export directly to my .mac web gallery from aperture do not show any meta data on their info pages. In aperture the images have all meta data.
I have checked all the presets and all include metadata. There is no specific preset for web gallery I notice.
Has anyone else solved this?

I want to change all the metatdata in groups to copywrighted. I can not seem to do this. There could be a checkbox on or off when importing. This would be perfect for bringing in older copywrighted archives.

How can I export Keywords when creating a Web Gallery?

I would like to include the keywords applied to an image when exporting to a Web Gallery. I have learned how to include the caption, and there's a possibility of copy and paste the keywords to the caption before export, but as you can tell, that adds unnecessary steps.
I suppose the larger question is "how do I customize the exported web gallery, and the content it includes?" but that will come next.
Big picture, I'm working on creating a searchable "proof book" and my initial thoughts are to create a custom html template which includes a Google search bar, and indexes / searches the keywords of each photo, exported to the web gallery.
Step one is to get the keywords to export ...

Right-click the page, choose View Page Info, and click the Permissions tab. There you can turn off automatic loading of images (uncheck Use default first to enable the controls). Any luck?
There might be a way to restore that more direct right-click menu item if you need it frequently, but I haven't researched it.
To clean up a page for printing, you also could consider an add-on like the following: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit :: Add-ons for Firefox]. Then you wouldn't have to re-enable images each time.

Export Bridge Assets including metadata into searchable web gallery

Hi,
We have several thousand images that we have tagged with metadata in Adobe Bridge. We want to be able to export these images and their associated metadata into a searchable web gallery so that customers can search keywords or at the very least pick attributes in order to narrow down the image selection process.
What software has the ability to do this?
Thank you!
-Mike

Apologies.. my advice may have been wrong.. it is a while since I figured it out.. trying to remember what it was I did..you do have to shorten that file name.. but it may not be the caption you need to change. I suspect I may have selected all the images.. then gone to meta data batch change and done something under the custom button which then applied to all images.
In my case I needed to get the web address for the gallery created from:
http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Smartbins™%20Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20and%20Cigarett e%20Bin%20Image%20Gallery/
down to:
http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20Cigarette%20Bin/
I did manage it but can't quite remember how I did it.
I will keep playing and when I figure out what I did that worked will post again.
The web gallery name you choose affects how Google sees the site as when you publish the web gallery - the web gallery name can pop up in Google
It's quite difficult to figure out exactly what to do. If anyone else knows a definitive answer please advise!

How to export a lightroom web gallery into dreamweaver

I would like to know how to integrate a slideshow 'gallery flash lightroom" into a dreamweaver CC page which already exists
I'm not an IT person. So if you have a simple way...
I don't find any bottom "export into dreamweaver" in Lightroom...
So if someone can tell me how to proceed.
Thanks per advance.
Florence

Thanks for your answer.
Yes. I can open the web gallery page into dreamweaver : I have nammed this page metaphoris.html
But I don't want to use this page as a page in my web site.
I would like to integrate the content (just the slideshow) into the body of an existing page
nammed Artgallery.html
If you know
- which part of the code I have to copy and paste into my page (if it's the right thing to do?)
- and if I have to relocate some files r(essources? images?)
Thanks per advance ;-)

When do I choose Upload versus Export on a Web Gallery? What do each accomplish?

I am excited to be creating a Web Gallery.
1-There is not really anything that tells me when to choose upload versus export.
2-There is nothing that tells me:
          if there is a limit to the size or number of images I can put on this web gallery
          or if I need to pay for this webpage
          or how many times I can do a Web album
Is it exporting to a file on my computer? And uploading is to a web gallery online?
3-Where do I find these answers?

1. Upload vs Export
Upload is used to send the gallery directly from Lightroom to you're own website. It uses Lightroom's builtin FTP client. Export creates a folder on your computer that contains all the files and HTML/Flash pages associated with the gallery. You then use your own FTP client application to upload the folder and contents to your website. In both cases it's assumed that you have a website and have access to the server.
2. You haven't mentioned which version of Lightroom you're using, but the limit to the number of photos was removed in version 5 or possibly even version 4. I have no idea what the maximum size might be., but I have a non public gallery with 700 photos and it's just under 60MB in size. Obviously, the amount of space you have access to will be determined by the web service provider or host you lease from.
3. Where do I find these answers?
A good place to start is the Lightroom Help documents (see Help menu) for Lightroom specific questions. Other questions relating to websites in general can be found using Google. This page might give you an idea as to how to create your own website How to Make / Create a Website: The Beginner's A-Z Guide to Starting a Website (thesitewizard.com)

[web gallery] how to define the export color profile

Hello,
I'm currently working on a web gallery template wich will create both web size and full size images. It will allows my clients to directly download the images they want for their article, and save me a lot of time for the uploading process.
This step is done. I've found in other web templates how to do the multiple sizes. You can have an example here: http://nack.ch/series/biscuits/index.html
But as I often work for press, I'd like to be able to export my images in a profile like ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB instead of sRGB. Is there a way to do that?
I suspect there should be a photoSizes.*. function that I have to insert in my galleryInfo.lrweb, but I didn't found a listing of the different parameters we can set for web galleries.
Have you any idea to solve this problem or at least where I could find any information about that?
Best regards
Niels

Sorry, there is no way to do this in the 2.x SDK.
We'll keep your request in mind for a future version.
