Web Gallery troubles

I published a web gallery (album of pictures) to my .mac account, and it worked properly. But I then had to change one of those pictures (actually a title with an error), and I did this by changing it in the iPhoto 08 web gallery. That, too, worked properly, changing the slide with the error in the published web gallery. However, subsequently, I found that .mac now had 2 copies of that photo album, both with the offending slide corrected, but one with an extra copy of the offending slide.
I don't know how to get rid of the extra copy in .mac. My iPhoto 08 shows only one copy (and the correct one) so there is nothing to change there. And as far as I understand, it is only by changing the album in iPhoto 08 that I can have an effect on what has been published in .mac.
Does anyone have any suggestions> Rick

Addendum: I was fiddling around and found that although the extra copy did not show in iPhoto 08, it did show in iPhoto Preferences/Web Gallery. So I changed the name of the album in iPhoto 08 so that I could tell which was the correct copy, and after the changed name turned up in the preferences list, I stopped publishing on the other one, the extra copy. That eliminated the extra copy!!!...and I found ity gone when I went back to .mac. Hope this helps somebody. Rick

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,

>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:

I'm having trouble understanding how to upload a web gallery?

I've been trying to upload a web gallery for weeks, I just can't seem to get it right.
Does anyone have any tips or advice? I use godaddy as my host.
Thanks!!

What have you tried so far and where are you struggling?
Have you followed the various online tutorials?

No .Mac Web Gallery visible in iWeb

I published a gallery with 3 albums in it and can see them in Safari. However, when I try to use Insert/.Mac Web Gallery, there is noting available to insert. How do I make the Gallery visible to iWeb. Also the .jpg files are low quality. Is there some way of publishing higher quality .jpg to the iGallery?
I'm now trying to use the Gallery since I have not been successful with publishing my web site onto .Mac with ~200 photos. There are also .avi files. Not sure if this is causing the trouble with publishing.

UPDATE:
It does appear as though it's an issue of security. If the Web Gallery is password protected, it won't show up in iWeb. I removed the password protection in iPhoto, and it showed up and I'm able to add it to iWeb. Now, it's not behaving quite like I thought it would, but that's another issue.

How to Edit Web Gallery Output from CS5?

Hello! I just upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS5. (Got some scrambling to do to catch up!) I had been using the old File>Automate>Web Photo Gallery to create galleries for my Web site. Massaged a little in Dreamweaver MX (I know, I know...) they look something like this:
http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2/index.html
I found out how to add the old Web Photo Gallery back into Photoshop CS5, but was curious to find out what Bridge CS5 would do with Output>Web Gallery. I experimented with the Standard template and was mostly happy with the result. Here's what I got:
http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2_test1/index.html
Trouble is I'd like to be able to customize the output a little more than allowed within the template itself. It looks like the output has Flash, JavaScript, XML, HTML and maybe other programming resources. I'm fairly familiar with HTML 3 and CSS, but am not a programmer. Can anybody recommend what high-level editing tools (example: Microsoft Word for fancy text editing) I could use to make some modest tweaks? The default modules are fine, but I'd at least like to be able to add a link back to my main gallery page like you see at the top right of my old Web Photo Gallery pages.
Also- are there 3rd party templates for Bridge CS5 Web Gallery?
Thanks, - Dave

Hi i7nvd
Oh my, I missed that completely! Thanks very much for bringing that to my attention. In the meantime I found that ACDSee would do a Web gallery that works OK for me. However I will go back to Bridge Output Web Gallery this afternoon and five it a whirl. Again, many thanks for jumping in and pointing that out to me. I appreciate it a lot!
BTW, thanks for the link to your site built with the Bridge plug-in. And congratulations on the wedding!

New Web Gallery, iPhoto '08 and 10.5 on .Mac not working

I am using iPhoto '08 on a system with Mac OS X 10.5.1 trying to publish a Web Gallery to my .Mac. It is constantly giving me "An error occurred with publication of album "". Request to the server failed" message. This very much like the error talked about in a knowledge base article 306469 (found here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306469) but the resolution in this article does not work (I spent hours doing and redoing this.)
In the many hours of wasted time on this iPhoto has managed to put one picture up.

Are you using the latest update - 7.1.2? If not you should update to it- each update addresses several web gallery issues
Once you are at 7.1.2 try syncing a few times 4 or 5 hours apart - this can be caused by a network or an Apple server issue and if it is only time will change it
I have over a thousand photo up and have had little trouble (a few times I had to try the next day and it worked)
The only hard problem I had was if I made changed during an update it messed things up - so i quit making changes during an update - do not know if Apple has addressed that yet or not)

No photo names in Web Gallery

I just uploaded a web gallery (password protected) and after going to the trouble of putting names on all the photos in iPhoto (prior to the upload) was disappointed to see none in my corresponding web gallery.
What gives?

Click on the Setting button in the toolbar for your gallery and make sure you have the option to include titles checked.
Hint: You can put the description of the photos in the description field in the Info pane at the bottom of the source window and then use this script to batch copy them to the Name field before publishing the gallery. Then when you want to revert back to the original file name just use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name.
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 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. 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.

Color difference in web gallery

I am having trouble matching color from my images in Bridge or PS (CS4) to the photos that appear when I make a web gallery using CS4. The photos have been converted to sRGB and look vivid in Bridge or Photoshop. However when they are converted into a web gallery and shown on a browser they are dull and lacklustre.
However if I upload one to my gallery on Mobile Me they look just fine. It seems like Web Gallery in CS4 is doing something to them.
I am using Safari and CS4 withMacbook Pro. Is there something I am missing I wonder?? Any suggestions?

>> I have opened the files in Safari, Firefox, Photoshop and Preview and they display correctly - even when profiles are changed
that's expected in Safari, Photoshop and Preview
Safari and Preview both automatically honor embedded profiles and Convert to Monitor RGB (you can't confuse them if your files have embedded profiles they get displayed correctly) — Safari and Preview both apply Monitor RGB to untagged files — I don't think we can change this behavior
Photoshop can be confused in any number of ways by users opening tagged and untagged files, but it sounds like the same thing is happening correctly (Ps is Converting Source Space to Monitor RGB) — if we tell Photoshop Do Not Color Manage a file, it in essence applies/assign/assumes its "Working RGB" profile
anything in CS4 saving for web (galleries) is more than likely stripping the profile(s) by application default
the test would be to open the problem (web gallery-generated) file in Photoshop and first see if it has an embedded profile — then Assign various profiles until you hit the correct profile — if someone doesn't understand how profiles work then that likely whooshed out the other ear by now, but that is a very presice step to ID the problem
if someone is having this problem, this is how to figure out what's happening — learn how your workflow deals with profiles/color spaces
the way to fix it would be making sure your Save For Web (gallery) Converts to sRGB and strips the profile (CS4 Adobe default setting)

Does "Bridge Web Gallery" need Java on hosting server to run?

I have uploaded a web gallery made with Bridge CS6, but all I see is a white screen. the gallery works fine locally. I just spoke with my host servers tech support and all he can think of is that they doen't run Java on their servers because it causes them way too much trouble. All I see is Javascript in the resource folder and they have no issue with that.
I'm on a Mac and as far as I know I'm running the lastest Java on my Mac as I updated it a few weeks ago. This is why I was wondering if I needed Java? Also I'm using Dreamweaver to upload the files to the server.

workflow functions are also exposed via java api's. so you can have your web application in say iAS, weblogic, ibm websphere,... and display pages using the java api.
the default workflow pages are generated using pl/sql api's. in this case you can get rid of pl/sql gateway.
i myself have worked on implementations which developed the application using the java api's

Thank you Fernando. I have been pointed out that there is a oracle plug-in for Microsoft IIS, enabling us to use it as the web server, Hence removing the need for Apache http server and the PL/SQL gateway.
Many Thanks

Web Gallery Creation - time

I'm trying to create a web gallery from a small shoot using my Nikon D70s - 6MB NEF files.
There are 94 images for my client to make their selections from, I'm only exporting medium quality files.
The original estimated time was 27 minutes, but it's now been an hour and the estimated time for completion is 21 minutes (up from a low of 14 minutes half an hour ago).
Is Apple for real? Do they really expect pros to twiddle their thumbs for 2 plus hours (if I'm lucky at this rate) after every shoot. I wouldn't mind if I could use Aperture in the meantime (like they implied in their sales pitch) but this feature is simply not worth the trouble...

Yep!
I did some comparisons between Aperture on a 15" 1.5 GHz PowerBook and a DP 2 GH G5 PowerMac each had 10 D2X NEFS which ran through both Aperture and Bridge/CS2/ACR
You can guess that the results were not stellar.
The Brigde/ACR on the Powerbook was as fast as Aperture on the PowerMac. Yeah I know... RIDICULOUS!
10 D2X nefs, equal settings(including sharpening) on each file.
Test: Time the export/saving 10 full sized JPGs(level 10) on both systems under both Aperture and Bridge/ACR
In Aperture, stamp the same settings to 10 nefs, wait for the changes to appear on each thumbnail, then select the 10 nefs, and select export versions.
In Bridge, paste the camera raw settings to the 10 nefs, wait for the thumbnails to show changes(building cache), select the 10 nefs, open ACR under Bridge(not CS2) by pressing CMD-R, in the ACR dialog, select all images on the left, click "Save 10 images".
PowerMac: G5 dual 2 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, X 800 XT vid card, Aperture library and Bridge cache on separte SATA 7200 RPM internal disk
PowerBook: 15" 1.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, and 80 GB disk
Aperture results:
PowerMac: 2:07
PowerBook: 5:06
Bridge/ACR results:
PowerMac: 1:18
PowerBook: 2:12
As you can see Aperture requires 2x the time to export/save when compared to Bridge/ACR.
Further, it is amazing that the Powerbook could plow through the images in Bridge in the same time it took the Powermac to export the Aperture images...
Hmmm, then that would imply the best money is on a Powerbook running Bridge/ACR/CS2?
Sooooo, if you can cull/sort the images and apply raw settings in Aperture three to four times as fast as in Bridge then it is a wash...

Web Gallery duplicating photos

I seem to have a consistent problem of photo duplicating themselves when I add new photos to a Web Gallery. The duplications don't show up on the actual Web gallery but are present within iPhoto, for example iPhoto says there are 96 images and the Web Gallery says 73. This problem only occurs when I add images to an existing Web Gallery and not when creating a new Web Gallery from selected images or albums. If you delete the 'dupe' all instances of the same image are deleted. Anyone else having this problem? any ideas to fix it?

My gallery/iphoto wish list is to have this solved and then to allow the gallery albums to have sub albums within them. Im talking 1600 thumbnail photos per student, 21 students!
This is a user forum and Apple does not monitor or respond here - to provide feedback/suggestions to Apple go to the iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
As to your duplication issue - I have no idea what you are asking
Yes my gallery looks right except I having trouble putting my lead photo on the album cover.
I think you want to change the key photo - to do this open the web gallery in iPhoto (click on it in the source pane - the left hand list) and find the photo you want as the key photo and drag it to the little thumbnail at the upper left of the window to the left of the gallery name

Publishing a web gallery via Homepage

I've followed the rather cryptic instructions found in one of the manuals and also on a post here to a "t" and still can't get my web gallery up at .mac. I've created a new Homepage, added a new "page", clicked "edit link", inserted teh URL from the Aperture "publish" button, and it still doesn't work. (As an example of cryptic, the "example" in the edit link field says "www.mac.com" -- that doesn't really bear any resemblance to the actual link that shows up in Aperture. There appears to be a complete file located on my iDisk in the Sites folder, but nothing, nada, zilch. I keep getting an error page when I try to go to the published site. In the end, I exported to iPhoto and created a new iWeb page without any trouble at all, but I'd prefer to skip the extra steps.
Can anyone point me to a definitive set of instructions on how to do this and why should it be this hard anyway?

Hi,
Use the SEARCH button here on SDN, there have been already several blogs explaining how to publish web services.
By the way, SAP is a software vendor. You have to tell which SAP software product and release you are using...

Can't access password protected .Mac Web Gallery

Safari is my primary browser. I have been creating web galleries using iLife '08 and my .Mac account and then viewing them with Safari for the past month or so with no trouble. This weekend I tried creating a password protected web gallery and it won't load in Safari. The gear icon just spins forever and has timed out when I have left it alone long enough. My other web galleries continue to load just fine. Clicking on the link from within iPhoto for my password protected gallery doesn't work, typing the url into Safari doesn't work, going to my gallery index and clicking on the icon of the "locked" gallery doesn't work, etc. I can still view all of my other web galleries, but this one that I'm trying to protect just won't load.
This actually appears to be a Safari problem. I don't get a dialog asking for User Name and Password. The url works just fine using Firefox on my Mac, and it also works on a PC running Windows XP. When using something other than Safari, I get the prompt for User Name and Password that I would expect. Upon entering that information, everything looks normal and works just fine.
Tsk tsk Apple! Safari shouldn't be having trouble displaying protected .Mac web galleries. Sheesh!

Just wanted to let you know that I have the EXACT SAME problem, except it is affecting my password protected iWeb site and my Gallery. I can view it from Firefox, so that is the web browser I am using now. I sent a bug report to Apple, and I also send them a request for help using e-mail, but so far I have gotten no response. Hopefully someone is working on the fix?

Bridge CS5 web gallery plays locally but won't launch online

After creating a slide show in Bridge CS5.1, the preview within Bridge and in my browsers work fine after turning off popup supression. I then upload to my site, and the only thing that displays is a blank page.
http://www.siebenthalercreative.com/safeservices/
Safeservices is the folder created by Bridge Web Gallery.
If I try to launch the swf file directly
http://www.siebenthalercreative.com/safeservices/resources/gallery.swf
it is unable to load.
I've tried with several of the default templates and the results are consistent.
Ultimately I want to customize the default index.html to a template page but first it has to run online.
thanks

nothing in bridge's preferences refer to the output controls. any help
appreciated.
In general you don't need to reinstall at first trouble. A restart holding
down option key and from the pop up menu resets all preferences to default
settings including the default workspaces.
But could you be a little more specific about your workflow, f.i. on what
output you are clicking for the module (the default workspace, the icon or
menu view-workspace-output) And does that window look as output containing
at least the content panel, preview panel and output panel with all its
settings (document-lay out-overlays-header etc).
Maybe you can provide a screenshot of what you are seeing when in output?

IPhoto 08 Crashes during Web Gallery upload

I have been having trouble uploading a second Web Gallery to my .Mac website. iLife 08 installed fine and I was able to upload one Web Gallery but I have attempted to upload another and each time I upload the crash occurs.
There is approxmimately 400MB of photos and movies taken with a 7.1 megapixel Sony camera in this Web Gallery (all imported from camera using iPhoto). I don't think that 400MB could be consideredn as being too large that it causes this problem.
The biggest pain is that after the crash the whole 400+MB of photos have to be uploaded again from scratch, nothing is saved on the server. Is it possible to allow it to save uploads as they progress so this doesn't happen?
TIA

D2C:
Yes you can. Go to iPhoto's Preferences and in the Web Gallery section you can rename the gallery title.
Do you Twango?
