Zoomify panoramas into DW.

I'm using Zoomify to create web-insertable panoramas in Photoshop CS5.1 to place in my site in Dreamweaver CS5. So far, so easy. Zoomify creates a folder with all the project files (I've called this example test) As well as the .swf and .xml files and numerous tiles, it creates an .html file (which, for some reason appears outside the folder and needs to be 'dragged into' the folder).
I've put this folder in the root directory of my website and opened the test.html file. The following appears:
When I 'open' test.html when it is on my desktop, I can view a .tmp file and all is well but when I open this file within DW, I get a 'broken' Flash symbol and the previous dialog box. Any suggestions? The relevant code (within DW) is:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" CODEBASE="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="650" ID="theMovie">

 </OBJECT></TD>

I did a search and came up with this from PZ:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2696572
The code being generated by your script is an older version of code used to insert Flash that has since been updated by DW. In this case your best bet would be to go back to Zoomify and discuss this with them as their program is generated the outdated code.
Alternatively if there is nothing else on the page except for the Flash object you could use DW to insert the Flash file whereever you want on your page and just get rid of their file. It should work.

Insert Panorama into Muse

Hi , i have created a website in adobe Muse, i also have a interactive panorama created in panoweaver 8.
The panorama can be a HTML file or a flash file :
1) Is it possible to put this file into Muse ? I have tried using the place option to place a flash file however it did not work.
2) If not how can i add a link in muse so when clicked the HTML page will show.
3) The website is being created for offline use so it all has to be exported.
Thanks for you help
I hope it makes sense

You would need to add an iFrame code in Muse using Object > Insert HTML that loads the panorama html into the frame.
Refer: http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/topics/embedding-html.html
You will still need to place the panorama html/css/js files into the correct location so that iframe loads the panorama just fine.
Cheers,
Vikas

Best way to view a panorama

I was wondering what is the best way to view a panorama on the iPad?
The panoramas are NOT 360 degree. It is created by a digital camera, one of those which has this newer built-in sweep panorama mode, where you hold the camera and turn, and it snaps photos and stitches them together for you in the camer itself. And of course you can hold the camera in portrait or landscape mode and you will get a panorama with different dimensions this way.
So I import one of these panoramas into the default Photos app (after scaling it down in PS because obviously I don't need to see a 5000 something pixel wide pano on the iPad).
Anyhow. I think the iPad's Photos app displays panoramas in a rather stupid way. First, it just shrinks the pano so it fits the whole display. Then, if I double click it, it zooms into the panorama like 3 times or so, completely blowing up the pixels.
The only way I find is to zoom into the pano with two fingers, and then I can pan the photo left/right. I think this is rather lame way of doing it and was wondering if anyone has a better way to tackle this issue.
I am NOT interested in purchasing programs for the iPad that creates/stitches panoramas together for me. I want to create the panos with my digital camera, edit them and then import it to the iPad, which results just a simple photo, albeit much longer width then height. I'm just looking for a better way of looking at them on the iPad other then that mediocre default Photos app.
Thanks!

Here's a free viewer that can be used for panos on ipads even though it's a product viewer ... you would need the beta one that actually works on ipads with zoom support http://www.webrotate360.com/360-product-viewer.html

Adding pictures into a stack, while filtering by keyword

Hmm...
I tryd to stack a few panoramas into a stack, while I was in the "keyword tags". Filters pictures for panoramas. But it was not possible. Should it be like that, or is it a bug? Its great to be able to "sort" pictures into stacks while In "keyword tags" filter mode.

<blockquote>you seem to be helping out here by pointing out the problems or limitations stacking has !! rather than resolve.</blockquote>Well - as I am not a Lightroom developer (and not even employed by or in any way associated with Adobe), it is pretty hard for me to "resolve" this problem, don't you think?

Aperture, Photoshop, and Apple's possible direction for Image Editing

All,
After using Aperture now for several days, and reading many different forum topics, in particular this one which speaks of desired enhancements to Aperture:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=253594&tstart=0
there is one thing that really sticks out on my mind. While all of us photographers have slightly different specifics to our workflow, in general they are very similar. And with respect to Aperture, there is one huge area where most of us seem to be hitting the brick wall: image adjustments, and by extension, image file management. Let me explain what I mean.
I think it is a fair generalization to say that the vast majority of serious digital photographers are using Photoshop (or some other image editing app, but I'm just going to refer to Photoshop for convenience) for post-processing of some kind. In using Aperture, and figuring out how to fit it into workflow, we've got this situation of how to move from organization and image library management to the full gamut of image adjusting functionality (photoshop) and back again to library management. The need to use photoshop then exposes the issue of how files are stored on the filesystem, etc. Stay with me here...
I have found myself thinking, and it is pretty clearly demonstrated in the forum topic mentioned above where folks are making suggestions for improvements to Aperture, that there's this barrel people are over in knowing whether Photoshop and Aperture should live in the workflow together, or whether Aperture should (or is intended to) replace Photoshop in the workflow. This got me to thinking about the fundamental question -- what is the intent, i.e. the vision for Aperture? Is it meant to replace Photoshop, or restated, is Aperture meant to be the app in which all image adjustments are to be made, OR is Aperture meant to just ease workflow, and is it intended not to be the primary app for image adjustments, but rather integrate with the primary image adjustment app?
The reason I bring this up is that the answer to this question makes all the difference in what enhancement requests and what people should expect from Aperture now, and in future versions. If Aperture is the primary place for image adjustment, then its obvious that there are some very significant additions that need to take place to Aperture, and likewise, the issue of putting images on the filesystem becomes much less important. However, if Aperture is a workflow-easer, then such image adjustment improvements are minimally important if at all, and filesystem / Photoshop / PSD file integration becomes paramount.
I know what Aperture does, what features it provides, etc. But I can't help but realize that its not really that clear (or I just don't understand yet) what the full scope of Aperture now and in the future is intended to be, and the forum topics are pretty decent documentation of the fact that the user base at this point is fairly cloudy on that too.
I can't help thinking that in the midst of the Apple pro line of tools, where we have tools that edit: video, audio, DVD creation, text effects, and now digital photography workflow, that there's one glaring hole: static image editing, i.e. a direct Photoshop competitor. I went through the Aperture video demos before Aperture shipped, and watched these photo pros talk incessantly about how "now there's an app that addresses how I work -- Aperture". That's great, but Apple has to know the role that Photoshop plays in present photography workflow -- for those pros too. So I'm sitting here thinking to myself, why would Apple roll out such a product with some clear workflow hurdles to common Photoshop usage.
Ok, here's the punchline: does anyone else here have a sneaking suspicion that Apple is not to far off from releasing their own image editing application that's a direct Photoshop competitor? I mean come on, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Sountrack, and by extension of the CEO to Pixar, Renderman. How can you not have a static image adjustment application entering the scene at some point?
I'm curious what others think. I'm just trying to make sense of how to fit the neat stuff I see in Aperture into a workflow that doesn't play very nicely with Aperture at some points (because I'm using Photoshop).

So Apple adds curves adjustments,
we'll need noise reduction, greater sharpening
capability, etc., etc., and then when we have all
those features, surely we'll need masking and select
capability to perform those adjustments selectively,
etc. Where does it end?
Actually that could be a good cut-off point - add a few more/better 'global' adjustments but leave all mask, selection and layer based tasks to external editors. Personally, I used to swear by curves, but haven't really touched them in PS for a year since shooting more RAW and learning how to use the shadow/highlight adjustment properly. Sometimes for overall colour for JPEGs, but that bit can be done just as well in levels.
My workflow isn't particularly typical, but here goes.
Type of photography - stitched panoramas as a professional, plus general snapshots/nature/landscape as hobby. Single user with no network storage.
Currently I use a very organised folder structure in the Finder, along with aliases in DragThing docks for easy access to final stitched files, all with their own unique ID. RAW conversions are done in ACR/PSCS2, or Bibble if I'm in a hurry on the laptop. About 40% of the panos are shot in RAW, 40% are bracketed JPEG and the remaining 20% are 'single' JPEG. The panoramas go through quite a lot of post-processing in PS using a whole series of actions and AppleScripts.
I'm expecting my workflow to look something like this:
1) Download directly into Aperture, possibly with added help from Automator/Applescript when it comes to proper date-based names.
2) Divide download into a new album for each panorama.
2a) If it is a people pano there will be quite a lot of duplicate shots for each panohead position - make a stack for each position and choose picks - this bit will speed things up enormously by itself. Reorder stacks to fit correct order of images going around the scene.
3) Export to TIFF (sometimes JPEG) and stitch using PTMac (sometimes Realviz Stitcher). Oh, and any people who think Aperture is limited, buggy and bad value should go and look at Stitcher - it costs the same, has a far more limited feature set, is on version 5 and by comparison makes Aperture look bug-free.
4) Bring stitched panorama into Photoshop to adjust seams through layers if needed, flatten, final tone adjustments (usually using shadow/highlight), possibly some colour tweaks, sharpen. For bracketed shots I will blend together the three exposures at this point using a custom action - this kind of thing is unlikely ever to make it to Aperture.
5) Bring final print-ready file into Aperture for cataloguing/backup.
5a) If file is too big for Aperture, make a smaller version for cataloguing and store original file in Finder. This gives me a good file for 90% of purposes, with the huge file available with a bit more work.
Too big? I've found that Aperture gets sluggish with files over 18-20,000 pixels wide, and chokes totally somewhere between 25,000 and 32,000 pixels wide - 'image format unsupported'.
To summarise - organise and convert in Aperture, stitch in specialist software, do PS-specific stuff then bring final image back in to join the source images.

Key Command for Selecting All in Stack?

- Hi, I'm wondering if there is a key command that I missed that allows you to select all items in a stack when it is collapsed?
I'm mostly using Bridge for the Stacks feature. I actually prefer to use cataloging programs for DAM. But shooting HDR, stacks are a must!
But when I want to do things with the images in a stack, such as deleting them all, opening in Photoshop (individually or to merge), etc., it only selects the top image by default.
I must be missing something. It's a drag to have to open/close all the time.
And a separate but related issue:
- Does anyone know why all stacks are removed when you do a Batch Rename on a set of photos?
I let Photoshop churn for 30min. + on the 'combine HDR/Panorama into stacks' command. Got all my HDR sets grouped nicely as stacks. Then decided to batch rename them and presto - no more stacks! Had to do it all over again!!!

Hi Kenny,
To apply a command to all photos in a collapsed stack, you must select them all by clicking the stack border, not the top image. See
Stack files in Bridge Community Help.
I'm not sure about the batch rename issue that you describe. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.

Printing a Panoranic picture in panels

I have a couple of wide panoramic photos that I created using USE 7 which I would like to print out onto 2 or more A4 sheets. To do this I suppose that I will have to slice the panoramic into exactly 2 or 3 pieces since my printer a Cannon 4500 doesn't accept paper larger than A4. How do I do this?

Be aware that there are web-based services that will print your panorama on one sheet of wide paper, and mail it to you.
Office Depot is one of these. They have a web-based service where you can go to their web site (https://www.officedepot.com/printconfigurator/uploadInput.do), and upload your picture. They will print it out, and mail it to you. There would be no stitching together the image, because it would be printed on one continuous sheet of paper.
Because you submit the picture through their web site, it doesn't matter whether you use a Mac or PC.
Their web site advertises that they can print pictures that are up to 60" wide. That's impressive!

DISK FULL WARNING, WHY?

I was getting the message "scatch disk full" so I went and got a brand new external drive.
In Preferences, the only box I have checked for CS5 to use as the scratch disk is the new external drive.
That the external drive is solely being used by CS5 has solved the scratch disk full problem, but...........
Apparently my C: drive is still being used somehow because now I get a warning that it is dangerously running low on space.
I assume that if the new external drive/scratch disk was tapped out, I would get the same old original message "scratch disk full".
What is going on here? Why so much need for space when the new external has 300gb dedicated solely to CS5?
If CS5 is using the external drive as a scratch disk, then what is it using an additional 35gb of space for on the drive that has my operating system?
I have 15gb of pagefile/swapfile space set aside on C:
Neither the 15gb pagefile, nor the 35gb of free space should be getting consummed.
I can understand that they would be used somewhat, for purposes that any program would use them for, but consuming them I do not understand.
Thanks for your help

Mr. Joslin,
I tried using Photomerge and then the ruler tool to create 360 degree panoramas comprised of 23 images.
Photomerge stitching works good enough but is a nuisance when it comes to getting the 1st image that starts the panorama to be on the left.
Then comes the ruler tool which levels the panoramas horizon just fine but crops the hell out of 'em.
I have not been able to figure out how to prevent the excessive cropping of the left and right sides.
I'm talking way, way, way more cropping than is needed, and my panoramas barely need any leveling to begin with.
They are practically horizontal, as is, after being merged.
So I have been trying to work out other approaches such as placing images right were I want them.
If I can place each image right were I want it, perfectly horizontal, then I can eliminate the use of the ruler tool and thus its excessive cropping.
Other people have suggested using PTAssembler instead of Photoshop.
That sounds worthy of a try but I have totally been sided tracked trying to solve my disk usage issues.
So side tracked that when you asked your question, I had to stop and think "that's right, what am I going through all this for?"
Anyway, I need to someday place the panoramas into a astronomical program called Voyager 4.5 which has stringent requirements.
The dimensions of the images placed therein have to have proportions of 2:1.
That being twice as wide as they are high, in other words, 360 degrees wide by 180 degrees high.
2:1 is the same dimensions as a sphere, the earth.
The equater is 360 degrees, while from north pole to south pole is 180 degrees.
I used a 105mm lense to shoot the images, so thus the reason why the 360 degree/equater spans approximately 60,000 pixles.
That my panoramas are so wide, but merely a little over 2,000 pixles high has forced me to create a canvas to place the images on that is huge.
Ultimately what I need to be placing in the Voyager program is an alpha layer that is 2:1.
A layer whose pixles above the horizon are transparent, Voyager being astronomical requiring the sky to be visible.
When placed, it will look like you are standing in your own backyard, or anywhere else for that matter, how about Stonhenge.
I know this is more than you bargained for when you asked why "such large pixel dimensions", but maybe I can ellicite further suggestions.
Suggestions besides my disk usage issues.

CS4 Photoshop Stonehenge Anyone?

If you purchased and downloaded the CS4 Master Collection on the release day - Start up Photoshop. If you see a Stonehenge splash screen you have a beta version of Photoshop. They have replaced the download so it now includes the released version of Photoshop.
However, you must uninstall and reinstall.

I am using a new current 3.1 Mac mini with 4 Gig Ram for CS4 Photoshop Extended.
I came from a G5 2.7 Dual with 5 Gig Ram.
I find the MM about the same speed as the G5 in use, booting Ps takes 17 seconds on the MM and took about 20 Seconds on the G5.
Running filters or Highlight & Shadows I can slide the sliders reasonably quickly, the screens (a 22" and 24" dual screens) redraw almost real time. No waiting, even with several layers and largish files. I fact I ran a very large panorama into the MM just to try it, over 150 Meg file, it took it in it's stride, no hesitation once it was loaded.
Buy one unit and try it? I think you will be very impressed coming from a lower base than I have.
Not sure the slightly faster processor is worth the extra unless you are thinking video, in which case I suggest you should be thinking Mac Pro.

Anyone using proDAD Mercalli 2 under Mac CS4?

Hi all,
I am looking for Mac CS4 users who are using proDAD Mercalli 2. I'd like to compare notes with you; we have a user who is having trouble getting Mercalli to be recognized by CS4. I'm trying to see what configurations are working, or if there are any software conflicts that may be interfering with his ability to use Mercalli.
Thanks!

Combining multiple photos into a panorama

am i able to fuse multiple photos into a single panorama with iphoto? and if not is there a program for mac that will let me do this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have a Canon camera? If so there an application, PhotoStitch, that came with the camera that is designed to do exactly that. It will be on the disk that came with the camera. Otherwise, one of the apps that Larry suggested will be required.

Embedding gigapan panorama's into a webpage

Hello all,
I'm having a little issue with embedding a panorama hosted by Gigapan into my webpage. I can successfully use this chunk of code to embed it:
<iframe src="http://gigapan.com/xxxxxxx.html" frameborder="0" height="400" scrolling="no" width="100%"></iframe>
I want to be able to zoom in and out of the panorama with the mousewheel WITHOUT simultaneously scrolling up and down on the webpage itself. Does anyone have an recommendations? I thought of maybe using onmouseover to lock the webpage from scrolling while on the panorama but couldn't find a way to use onmouseover in an iframe.
Also I fully acknowledge that I am a huge noob
Thanks for your help in advanced!

Hi Phil and welcome to our community
The Captivate output files are a bit like a house of cards.
All elements are critical. Here's how they pan out.
You upload all the files to your server. Normally in the same
location.
You point your user to the HTML file.
User clicks the link pointing to the HTML file and it loads
up into the browser.
The HTML file looks for the standard.js file. Assuming it is
found, more code is added to the HTML file.
The MainMovie_skin.SWF is then loaded into the browser
window.
Internally, the MainMovie_skin.SWF knows to look for the
MainMovie.SWF and it loads up.
As each slide pointing to a .FLV is encountered, the .FLV is
loaded at that time and plays.
As for embedding into an existing page, you will need to sift
through the code for the Captivate created HTML file for clues. Are
you using a Web Development tool such as Dreamweaver, FrontPage or
Expression Web designer?
Cheers... Rick

Inserting panoramic photo's into iPhoto book

I'm creating a new photo book in iPhoto (9.5.1) and I now find there's now no longer an option to add panoramic photos.
I have been able to do this on 2 previous photo books.

Assuming you've imported the panoramic photo from your iPhone into the iPhoto library and added it to your book do the following:
Just drag the photo from the photo tray at the right in the book mode into the frame on the page:
Control (right) - click on the image and select Fit Photo to Frame Size (not all themes offer that option).
which will give your this:
depending on the page layout option you've chosen.

Limitations of trial version 13? I cannot load pictures into the photomerge panorama window either from' browse' or 'add open files'.

On Adobe's web site it states the trial version has all functionality. FAQ, common questions & answers | Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 "These trial versions are fully functional, so every feature and aspect of the product is available for you to test-drive. Product trials can easily be converted for unrestricted use without the necessity to reinstall the software in most cases."
However, I cannot load pictures into the photomerge panorama window either from' browse' or 'add open files'. When I select either way nothing happens.This happens if I enter panorama from photo editor and/or organizer.
Can anybody enlighten me about this?
Thanks,
Barry

It seems your Samba is denying access to these files & dirs. My best guess would be that either the Samba user is not allowed to write (and read) those (in which case you'd have to modify the permissions accordingly) or Samba sets, when the share is mounted, the permissions such that your user is not allowed to read and write (you may in this case try to just set permissions for you to allow you what you want to do; or use "create mask" or "directory mask" or "writable" in your samba config. ).
Also, what do the logs say about this? According to your samba conf they are in /var/log/samba/%m.log where %m is the hostname or IP.
