Why does the Organizer automatically grab all images.

I just discovered that every image I have brought into my iMac is appearing as a folder in the Organizer.  I don't regularly use the Organizer and don't want all images to appear there.
How did this happen?
Mary Lou

No.  I always do a manual download of images by dragging and dropping them into a folder on my external hard drive.
The images that I am finding in the Organizer catalog are even images that I downloaded from an email attachment!

  • Why does ibooks author automatically resize all images of a gallery?

    The point here is, I have more than one graphic files (not pictures taken by a camera) to put into one gallery widget of an iBooks Author document. Unfortunately, not all figures have the same height/width aspect ratio. If I put them together in the gallery, some of them have cropped widths others have cropped heights. Impossible to losslessly fit all into the same gallery. If I scale alle figures to the same width, the result is acceptable for the figure with the highest heigth, all other figures are cropped again.
    Well in a first time, I was not that much concerned, but the iBooks Author Quality check refused to publish such eBooks, where some picutes appear cropped in the small view (not in the full-screen view).
    Now, why is the iBA software automatically sizing all images of a gallery w.r.t. the center of an image? It would be of much more help, to leave some white background boarders on images of un-equal height, as long as the width of all images is exactly the same. The crop-pan function would then be useful to individually place a smaller-than-the-rest image in that frame of its larger precedecor image.
    Can this autosize function be turned off? Am I really forced to paste smaller images into a white image of the maximum height/width of the galery's largest image?

    If you have differently shaped (height/width) images that you want to place in one gallery....
    The first image you place will determine the shape (max height and width) of your gallery mask, so choose it wisely.
    Before you add each image to the gallery go to photoshop and:
    1. Size the IMAGE to be at the max height OR width of your gallery mask -- do this if you want at least one dimension (height or width) to fit all the way across or up and down in the gallery mask.
    2. Size the CANVAS to the same height and width of your first image (the size of your gallery mask).
    I hope this makes sense and is helpful. Yes, it's ridiculous, but it's the only way I found to make images of different dimensions fit in a gallery.

  • Why does the organizer update every time the program opens?

    Why does the organizer open every time the program opens?

      It normally updates if there are new images or edits which are picked up from the watch folder. The default watch folder is My Pictures+sub-folders.
     

  • Why does the iPhone convert animated .GIF images?

    I saved a bunch of animated .GIF files on my iPhone.
    When I imported them onto my computer, they were all single framed .JPG files.
    Why does the iPhone convert the images, and is there any way to prevent this?
    Thanks!

    you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
    /* Load the request. */
    [myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
    the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

  • With PPT 2007 when I print my PPT file to Notes view why does the slide portion become an image

    I am trying to print a ppt file using PowerPoint 2007 notes view to PDF with Distiller and create a full text searchable PDF.
    Everytime I do, the slide portion becomes an image. The only textual portion of the PDF are the page numbers and the actual notes.
    This was not the case with Office 2003. The slide portion was full text searchable. Does anyone know why this is.

    Irma,
    Show the file in Finder with the pps or ppt extension, you want Powerpoint to open.
    Get info on the file, using command-I, and change the application to open all documents like this to Powerpoint.

  • Why does the "set automatically" button keep turning off in the my date & time area of my settings? When it is off I can not use facetime or imessages.keep during off on my iPad?

    I wasn't able to use FaceTime or iMessages and found out it was because the "set auomatically" button was off under date & time in the settings area.  Why does tha button turn off?

    I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

  • Why does the organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?

    Why does Photoshop Elements Organizer no longer recognize my camera when I try to download?  Is there a new way to downolad?

    Detective" for $30.  Is this something worth investing in or should we be
    able to solve this ourselves?   My brain hurts.
    No it is not worth investing in this because it is a very expensive way of getting viruses. These detectives and those who say they can find the fault on your machine by installing their software are bunch of hackers.
    If your camera is not recognized then it suggests that either your USB is faulty or the cable linking the two is faulty.
    Can you connect anything else like a flash drive to your USB port that you are using for your camera and is it recognized?

  • How to advoid Pdf attached files turning into winmail.dat file causing incovinience opening them? And why does the phone automatically changes the file???

    The first time i opened the mail, the mail loaded the attactment as pdf file and i was able to open it without any problems. But then when i tried to open it again, i watched the phone automatically turned the pdf file into winmail.dat without any of my control. Since then, i werent able to open the file anymore!

    Hi Jnkm,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are getting a winmail.dat file instead of a PDF, you may want to see if it may be the issue noted in the following article:

  • Why does the Organizer not work with Elements 12 on my Mac?

    My wife has a Mac (OSX 10.6.8) and I recently bought her Elements 12. The organizer does not work on it? Is there any plan to have it work? I was told by a friend that support should be able to get it work for me.

    Hi Barbara
    Thanks for the response.
    I updated to Mavericks (10.9.3) and the organizer now appears to work.
    However, it is extremely slow in previewing photos that were already on
    the Mac and does not appear to be able to download photos from a Canon
    5DIII. It appears to start but then spins and spins. It ran overnight
    and was unresponsive this morning.
    Do you have any ideas as to what to do to make this work?

  • Why does the Reader automatically switch screens in a two(2) display setup?

    Reader keeps switching between my two display setup. I had this problem pop up about two months ago and finally installed version 11. The problem went away but about two weeks ago, Reader automatically switched back to displaying the pdfs on the second monitor. Anyone have any clues why this happens?

    Windows or Mac?

  • WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

    WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
    Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
    I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
    Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
    Thank you.

    nbar,
    Thank you for your reply.
    However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
    Frank,
    Thank you for your reply.
    All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
    MichaelLAX,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
    Frank,
    Thank you for your second reply.
    I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none."   The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
    Any futher thoughts?
    xdab, 
    Thank you for your reply.
    "Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
    YES!! This is exactly the problem.
    "If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
    This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
    "By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
    I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
    Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
    Regards,
    Sara

  • Why does the color and or tone of my image change?

    Why does the color and or tone of my image change after working in LR for a couple of hours? I open LR and everything looks fine - work for a couple of hours on the same shoot - but then the pictures start to look flat or greenish cast as time goes by. All the files get flat and the greenish cast after a couple of hours - the ones already worked on and the newer ones I'm pulling up to work on. RAW files downloaded from a Canon 30D. Also exporting to PSCS2 as PROPhoto results in a flat image. I switched back to export AdobeRGB.

    Hola - thanks for the reply - yep - closing and then opening LR helps - but can't do that all the time after processing 3 or 4 files.
    One reply was a corrupt monitor color profile - So I deleted that one and loaded a new adobeRGB profile. That helped a little also for a while - I then reloaded my monitor drivers and refreshed them - that help for a day - the greenish cast is back It works fine on my laptop for now. The same pictures that look greenish in LR look great in Canon DPP. So it probably wasn't the color profile or monitor drivers. My issue started with the small scale previews so I bumped that up. Still have the issue. I finished up a project and now going to uninstall and reinstall LR. Let's see what happens with a fresh install. andy.

  • Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

    Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

    Hi,
    This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
    So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
    For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
    Or it may be in the Registry.
    Click on Start >  Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
    This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.
