Web gallery order

at the moment in iphoto we can only sort web galleries alphabetically. this is the visible on the web.
but we cannot get the order of the albums "zacharias" followed by "adam" followed by "gabriel". manual sorting would be nice.
at the moment i give them numbers to be sorted. think it´s gonna be difficult when 1 is followed by 11....
any other tips?
maybe apple should give us more choice.

Try using the following format for the name of the Web Gallery...
YYYYMMDD
This will always sort in ascending order in iPhoto.
No doubt, we need more sorting options, including manual sort by dragging Galleries into any position we wish on the list.

  • 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!!

    ...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....

    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...

  • Can you change the album order in Web Gallery?

    I can't seem to change the order of albums i publish to the web gallery. The gallery presents the albums in the order you upload it.
    Any suggestions besides uploading my oldest albums first?

    Just found the answer to this here. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306164 Apparently the order is not (at this time) flexible once the albums are uploaded. And what's more, the predetermined order is not exactly intuitive. Shouldn't the most recently uploaded album go at the end of the list so things are more chronological? Maybe this will get a fix in a maintenance update.

  • .Mac Web Gallery - How to change key photo and order or galleries?

    How can I choose which photo is the key photo for each .Mac web gallery? Also, how can I re-arrange the order of the web galleries?

    I would really love to see a solution for this too ! Unfortunately I think apple just didn't implement it in Aperture. My .Mac web gallery is about events in my life and it doesn't make any sense to have it sorted alphabetically...
    Not being able to simply set a key photo is really annoying too.
    The worst is that these two functions are available in iPhoto. All they had to do was copy and paste...
    Apple are you listening ?

  • Customizing order of photos in web gallery & slideshow

    I know this was requested during the beta but.....
    Is there a way to customize the order that photos appear in a web gallery or slide show? By default Lightroom 1.0 displays them in the order they were imported. I want to move them around but can't find a way to do so.

    Do a collection of images to use in either. You can drag and drop the order in a collection. Drag from the middle of a thumbnail. The module will remember presets associated with a Collection as apposed to a group sellection.
    This is very, very old info listed in numerous threads.

  • Specific order for web gallery photos

    I am publishing a web gallery (newbie) and the photos need to be in a certain order-its a wedding album. How do I get them in the correct order. I put them in order in iphoto, but when the gallery publishes, they are random. Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you put them in order after creating the gallery in iPhoto and before publishing? All of my online galleries have the same order that are in the iPhoto galleries. You can change the order after publishing and then hit the publish button to reorganize the online gallery.
    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.

  • Web gallery not in order on Apple TV

    I've just viewed a friend's web gallery on Apple TV and although it shows fine via computer on the internet it has a completely different order on Apple TV. How does Apple TV sequence the photos in a web gallery slide show?

    Ok, I've checked further and as near as I can tell the Apple TV uses the folder names in the iDisk web gallery folder to determine the order for the slide show. This is just plain dumb. It only works for the simplest situation of one camera with continuously incrementing title names and does not allow for any manual arrangement of the picture order. Just a bug I guess.

  • Send  to Web Gallery "picture viewing order"?

    Is there a way to keep the viewing order of pictures I send from my iPhone via the Send to Web Gallery so the pictures show in the order I sent them and not that the last picture I sent is shown first?
    I want the images to be viewed in the order I sent them so the 1st picture is the 1st picture on the web page and the 2nd one sent is the 2nd, etc...
    Right now the last picture I send is 1st, etc...
    I made a title picture I want to make sure is always the 1st one.
    Thanks
    tj

    Bummer. Would be nice if you are doing something on the road, like Macworld, and I send pictures to the Web Gallery, that they would be in the order I send them so they get a visual picture of my timeline there at the show. Now showing the last day first. Bummer.
    Thanks

  • Can I use CSS with PS Web Gallery Preset?

    Using DW CS4. I wanted to create a web gallery with captions under the thumbnail images. I could not get captions to show up using the workspace output tool in Bridge, so I used the web gallery plug-in and preset in Photoshop. The doc title and description from the metadata shows up with each thumbnail and large photo, which is what I wanted. I added an Iframe to make the gallery show up in my web page layout with all the links I wanted, and I re-wrote part of the preset html to eliminate some of the extra preset gallery text at the top of the gallery pages. I am using a transitional doc type.
    It all worked out just fine and the pages are working as planned.
    However, when I used DW to validate the gallery pages, the report showed errors because the font attributes for the gallery pages are controlled by html and not by CSS. There are two problems cited in the report:
    The tag "center" is not allowed within: <p>
    In HTML 4.0, FONT is deprecated... consider using style sheets instead.
    Questions: On the gallery pages generated by the PS plug-in and pre-set, is there a way to control font attributes with a style sheet instead of using the pre-existing html styling? Do I need to be concerned about the attributes being deprecated?
    If you need to look at the web gallery, you can see it at http://www.LoonSongGardens.com/webgallery/galleryab.html
    If you look, you can see why I am daylilybud!

    I used an iframe (as opposed to a frame) as suggested in an article by David Powers about embedding a gallery into a web page. He says the iframe is acceptable in html, and no problem with the iframe itself was indicated during validation, just the FONT attributes from the PS preset I used. You can read the article here: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/gallery/embed1.php
    In my current gallery, thumbnail captions appear from the metadata for each photograph. For each large image, both the title and the description come from the photo's metadata.  This works well for my purpose, and I want to avoid re-entering each title and description. I guess my question could be better stated by asking if CSS can be added to the preset to apply to captions coming from the metadata of each photo.
    Regarding the lightbox approach you suggest, I looked at the example and do not see captions under the thumbnails. Can captions be added to the thumbnail images? (It is essential that my thumbnails have captions.)
    Customers need to see the name of each plant when they browse thumbnails in order to select items (daylily plants) of interest.
    Because I am dealing with hundreds of photos and will need to update frequently, I am looking for a solution that is efficient and fairly easy to maintain. So far, the PS web gallery preset meets my needs better than anything else I have found, but I thought I'd try to find out if I should and can fix the FONT attribute validation problem.

  • How to improve AP2.0 Web Gallery Quality/Functionality for photographers

    Hi,
    I'm a pro photographer.
    I thought AP2.0 plus a (dot)mac account would offer an easy way for my clients to proof images in password protected web galleries and to download images as well. The resulting functionality is poor in my opinion. Is there anything I can do within Aperture or (dot)mac to improve the following problems?
    1) Why is the image quality of the web gallery slide show so poor? No sensible client would accept looking at proof images of this low quality. Even flickr is better.
    2) Why is there only one download file size, i.e. the original size? In other words, the original file is almost always too large for most web client purchases. Why can't the client choose a smaller version. Even flickr is better, offering several download sizes all based on the original upload.
    3) Since the export functionality within Aperture allows for numerous choices of dpi and pixel ratio to export images, why is this same functionality not there for publishing web galleries?
    It seems obvious that photographers would want to publish web galleries with exactly the same control that we can export images to disk or flickr. Even within the Apple Mail application we have choices of quality and pixel dimension for the attachments.
    What am I missing? Please help.

    When you create a Web Gallery in AP2, there is a set up prefernce to let viewers download an Optimized, Actual Size or Optimized and Master Image. (You can only pick one per gallery it seems.)
    However, I think the gallery design is rather clunky, too many design options are left open to the viewer, and not the photgrapher. I prefer the web pages and web journals for customer proofing using the image number. They email me their choices, and then using Aperture, I can order prints based on their selection. Not the simplist way, but I would not want clients downloading my images, anyway, as you suggest. Why would they buy a print if they can just download a jpg themselves?

  • Is there any way of making the "cell numbers" smaller on a lightroom web gallery?

    I am new to lightroom having used aperture 3 in the past.
    I am currently trying to create a html web gallery in order to put up some images online for a client. I am really happy with the flexibility of the lightroom galleries.
    However, the cell numbering on the grid pages are very large and the larger the number, the more of the number hides behind the image. I have been searching for a remedy to this problem as there doesn't seem to be any point in having a contact sheet for a client if they can't see what number an image is.
    I have attached a screenshot to illustrate.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Would really appreciate any thoughts.
    Thanks!
    Jack

    Well, you could probably hack the template file itself. I've never done it, but others have restyled markup in a variety of ways.

  • Web gallery file size...do I have this straight?

    I've read through the posts so far. I'm new to LR (waiting for my package to arrive, so still using the trial).
    I set up a collection of 57 photos.  Most were raw, the largest being 167,866 KB.  (kinda large)  I tried to upload from LR (thinking maybe it doesn't work in the trial version as I kept getting errors of one kind or another?) and found the total of the files was over 176,000,000 KB.  Hmmm.  So, I went back into PhotoShop CS3 (after another program that usually will batch convert files didn't work) and saved each with 800 ppi maximum on a side, and saved them all for the web. (That took a little time, but not too bad.) Then I had to import the new .jpg folder, and re-edit each photo to maximize their exposure and such.
    Must I do that every time I want to post a web gallery?  In other words, I'll have to keep the original (larger) files, and make a smaller set for web plublishing, and convert everything to a .jpg file as well?  (I suppose there's no sense in filling my server with photos that are much larger than necessary, but it seems like a lot of extra work.)
    Also notice, if I have to start again (it is taking a long time, but then it's my first attempt), the collection I've saved has all the Identity plates and information I've typed in going back to Lightroom defaults, and the order of the photos goes back to random (after I've meticulously tried to put them in order).  Hoping this is just because I'm using the trial again, but no way to know until the box comes in a few days (I hope).
    The feature that caused me to make this purchase is the ability to do these galleries.  I've been looking at templates, modifying them, and working on doing this, for quite some time now. When I saw it's just part of LR...WOW!  I did get excited!  What a useful and wanted feature!!!
    It's more than one question, I know, but I've so many more!  Will the learning every become adequate to do what I dream?  (This last question is rhetorical, by the way.)
    OMGoodness! I thought I saved the gallery in the Collections...clicked on it, and no pics, nothing I did (for the second time) seems to be anywhere.  I have a LONG way to go in learning to use this tool correctly!  Arghhhh!  ... Last revision...went back into the folder, and everything is there.  Wow!  Guess I don't need it in a Collection.  Awesome!

    These files were scanned. I'm sorry, I forgot that.  They're old pics.  Some were in .jpg format, but most were in .psd format.  I converted them to smaller files in the Save for Web Device in Photoshop.  My next gallery will be shots from my Nikon D200, and I checked...the files are about the same size as yours.  These scanned files were considerably bigger as the film was pretty old.  Did quite a few of them previously to last night, and used a dpi (or is it ppi) of higher than 300 I did the last ones in. File size varied from 1,201 KB to 16.765 KB. (That bigger one was a 5X8 school shot.)
    Will it normally send the files to the web full size and then just use the dimensions specified in the program?  I have to check how much space I have on the server, but I do have another gallery I want to make, and I found a great plugin (here on the forum) to add mp3 music to the gallery. (I know, more space, but love it!)  I figured 800 pixels on the longest side would be plenty adequate for viewing, and the gallery parameters are smaller, so that's fine.
    One thing I don't understand, it asked me to place the files in "photos," but I don't think it uploaded a folder of "photos" to the web.  However, it's obvious the files went.  I was afraid if I used the export, I was going to have to upload the folder with my photo files to the server, but I think it handled that.  I hope I get a user manual with my boxed product.  It can't come soon enough!  LOL
    By the way, I successfully posted the gallery tonight.  It's really great, and my son loved it.    I am SO thrilled with this program!!!

  • Numbers in web gallery and resource image folders do not match

    When I create a web gallery in Bridge, the numbers in the resource image folders, (Large, medium, thumbnail) do not match the name and numbers in the gallery and are completely out of order. The numbers are long and random.  My client is trying to email the small files and cannot locate them easily.
    I have never had this problem before....can you help?
    Thanks!!!

    Thanks Think, I've tried that. The strange thing is when I
    open the page in Contribute, it shows the original image. When I
    click Edit page, the image I want on the page is on the page. Not
    sure what I've done. Pages were originally created in Microsoft
    2007 and uploaded to the web. I am using Contribute to edit, it
    seemed like it would be much easier to edit pages.
