Extremely Basic Photo Organization strategy

I have a MacBook Air with Photo version 1.3 which I am running with OX X El Capitan worm. 10.11.3.

I never learned how to create any sort of organization with this computer for personal reasons, but now I want to. I have sort of duplicate libraries or what appears to be duplicates that I transferred to an external drive. I now start with a blank slate and I really wonder how I should start. For some reason, all what I have read about it is over my head. I understand the idea of drag photos in the new library, but I can't access the old libraries with the open new. I don't know how to open the 'old'... but I'm clueless as to what to do. After I organized all of these pictures, so I was wondering the best way to maintain this system. I want everything stored on my hard drive. but it seems that I need a photo library of systems by default when my hard drive is not connected... Finally, I can use the iCloud system, but I want to first go through all my photos and put them in a place of rest organized. I don't want everything to the cloud.

I'm sure this question has been answered but I couldn't find it and what I just did too much information.

Thank you, total newbie.

The main objective of Photos is a photo management so it will organize your photos automatically in years/collections/times - you can also use faces to organize people and albums and folders to organize in any manor you want

And Yes to use the photo library must be available

If you want to use pictures you just import pictures of her and he organizes the

If you have several libraries, you need to migrate each and buy PowerPhotos to work with them or merge them

  • Modified photo management strategy

    I've never used a non-destructive editor before. So I wonder what a good strategy would be to managign all the original and edited versions. It seems to me that could get out of control very fast.

    I use version 5, and most importantly, I intend to clean up my photos and post them on Flickr or something like that. Usually full resolution.

    Thank you

    There are a few different approaches you can take by separating the photos changed from those non-edited.

    The first thing to note is that all the changes are non-destructive, so it is not necessary to organize separately the copites unmodified image.

    If you want to compare published from non-edited versions you can view photos before and after in the develop module:

    You can also save changes as an Instant to go back and view later:

    Photos with an applied adjustment will have the following iconso that you can immediately know if they are edited or intact:

    These are all excellent means of distingishing changes to your images. However, if you want nevertheless to separate them, you can create separate collections for your modified photos:

    To do this, I would like to start by creating a Collection set for all images in this download.

    From there, you can create the collections which will be organised under this Collection Set

    From there, you can make collections as much as you want.

    For example:

    All images - unedited

    Best images - unedited

    Best of the best - novel

    Cream of the crop - edited

    or, however, you want to organize!

    Don't forget that all these collections and groups you are not performing how your images are organized on the back-end. It is up to you to choose the right place for your images, and if you move them or remove them they will be not available in Lightroom as Lightroom does not save copies of your images and only metadata for your supported, and the settings.

    I hope this helps!

  • How to get the password attached to a particular organization strategy

    Is there an API to get the strategy of an organization in oim11gr2 password. I am unable to find such an API

    use the OrganizationManager API. There is no direct method to get the password policy, but yes you can get it using steps below

    Organization getDetails (java.lang.String orgID, java.util.Set retAttrs, boolean isOrgName)

    Ex:
    OrganizationManager orgManager = (OrganizationManager.class) Platform.getService;

    Organization org = orgManager.getDetails (org_key, null, false) or getDetails (org_name, null, true)

    String pwdPolidcyName = (String) org * getAttribute * (OrganizationManagerConstants.AttributeName.ORG_PASSWORD_POLICY_NAME);

  • What is the purpose of photoshop elements Organizer?

    Hi all

    I have prE8 and photoshop cs4.  My computer has a hard time lately so I've been disable some processes.  I disabled my organizer elements Pr, but photoshop elements Organizer still works.  What I don't understand is why I have Photoshop elements Organizer in the first place?  It come with cs4 or pre 8?  What is this Organizer for and how to disable it.

    Thank you

    Al

    The elements Organizer comes with Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements.

    The CS4 equivalent would be the bridge, even if they are actually very different.

    In my books, I will detail the functions of the organizer and how to use it. But, at the bottom:

    1) there is a media management system

    (2) it allows you to search and catalog your media files based on a number of criteria - General and very specific

    (3) it includes a basic photo editor

    (4) there are automatic tools for the creation of a number of project including slideshows, boxes of CD and even US postage stamps

    (5) includes a number of features for sharing your media, including interfaces for Facebook, Picasa, and Photoshop.com

    (6) this is the main command for the media auto-analyzer, a tool that plays a role in the first elements SmartFix tool

    7) there is the master control for the online backup of your multimedia files

    If you go to Edition/Preferences, you can disable any background process that it is running.

    However, there is no interest to turn it off completely. It is not slow down your system when it is not running, and it shares features with Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements.

  • Transfer photos from PC to iMac

    Hello

    Two years ago, I decided to scan and put all our family photos in digital format (some will to the 1890s), which I just finished several months ago.  I used a Windows operating system and the PC to manage the process. Recently, I poured out my Windows and PC hardware for an iMac and MacBook Pro.

    The last month I have transferred all my photos from my PC to my iMac system.  But when the transfer took place in the Organization of the files I had in place has been lost - some of the pictures that were in the displaced and slept files in folders, others are just grouped in one section.  I had a folder for each year.  First few years had only a few pictures.  A few years had both single photos and pictures inside the files.

    I tried to figure out how my iMac "reads" and organizes the photos, but have not been able to understand.

    Can someone tell the best way to transfer photos from a Windows system to an iMac system and maintain the integrity of the file structure?

    I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you

    Lou

    You probably do not use the Photos provided with your computer, app if you were then you would have found Photos for Mac organizes your photos how you want. I strongly suggest to use Photos to store your photos, organize them and when it is necessary to improve them.

    If are unaware of the Photos please start by http://www.apple.com/osx/photos/

    You can also find many tutorials for the Photos if you do a bit of research, even Youtube has free tutorials.

  • Old computer died, I try to restore my photos from a Windows backup

    My old computer overheated to the point that the D: drive, where I kept my data, practically melted.  Fortunately, I'm religious about backups, so I had a store of the local computer to install a new D: drive and restored most of my data from a backup on an external hard drive.  Unfortunately, hard drives are also faulty - the store of the local computer has been able to get data out of it, but none of my photos.  I had a fairly recent backup containing all my photo files (created with Windows Backup and Restore).

    I was able to find the catalog folder and restored to the default location (C:/Program Data/Adobe/Elements Organizer/catalogues).  The Organizer is this catalogue.  It contains 2 folders (BreezeData, which contains 422 files in the breeze - 1.xml format and a file named BreezeSession.dat) and (syncdb, which contains a file named .pref only).  It also contains the following files: backupCt.dat, catalog.pse9db, collstatus.dat, face.thumb.9.cache, itemData.mk4, tagstatus.dat and thumb.5.cache.  However, none of my tags appear in the Organizer.  I tried to repair the catalog, has received the message that he did nothing to fix and clicked "fix anyway", which did not improve the situation.

    Is there another file I want to find and restore to make it work correctly?

    I've restored some of my files real image at the same location and file structure, they were on the old computer.  However, PES 9 cannot find them.  I tried "reconnect" files and get the message that there are no files to reconnect.  If I can "import" the Organizer, I lose all my games version (and I have a lot of them).  I realize I can stack both original and edited to the same photo, but the editor does not recognize them as versions.  In addition, I lose all of my tags.

    Is it possible to find photos Organizer without losing the tags and version sets?  The Organizer is the legends I posted.

    I already bought 12 PES, but I thought I would more successful if I got 9 PES successfully restored, then do the upgrade.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    This isn't really an answer, just an update.

    I could finally solve the problem!  I uninstalled PES 9 (should I use Revo Uninstaller, but I forgot to do it, I just use the Control Panel, programs & features, uninstall a program).  Then I went in the ProgramData folder and deleted everything that seemed to relate to Adobe PSE, including the catalog folder (there was a lot of it).  I restarted the computer and re-installed PES 9 (I had already recovered all the image files by using the backup and restore).  This time, when I reconnect, all the missing files, the program itself almost found everything!  I always had some cleaning to do (mostly duplicate) and I re - transfer all the photos I have taken with my two cameras since the backup just before this disaster, but at least I have (I think) recovered the majority of photographs of 7 years.  I noticed while I was doing the cleanup that aren't all filename (I let just the IMG_ # assigned by the camera) was there, but I guess the missing numbers of file name are the photos that I have deleted or moved to a folder, which I call "Trash" for photos that will take much more time to fix that I immediately - if they can be fixed at all.

    The recovered photos retain the decors of the version and the tags that have been initially assigned!

    Having experienced this, I encourage everyone to back up their files regularly and remember the directory where the catalog file is stored!  If the catalog file is lost, you are toast!

    If anyone has a similar problem, do not hesitate to let me know and I'll try to help with a more detailed explanation.

    For what it's worth, Adobe has been of no assistance (Fortunately we were disconnected before that I gave them my credit card number for the they wanted to even talk about the problem of $39.99).  Similarly, I used successfully justanswer.com for any complicated problem where (the destroyed computer) HP or Dell (my new computer) couldn't help, but they were unable to help him with this problem.

    I think I have a little more work to do, including the loading of my recent photos, but I intend to start converting the files recovered in PSE 12 soon.

  • Best approach to select from multiple/all photos from the CameraRoll iOS?

    I want to use FlashBuilder 4.5.1 to build a photo organizer project mobile flex that allows me to select several photos from the iPhone Camera Roll.

    I saw the class flash.media.CameraRoll , but it doesn't seem to provide CameraRoll.browseForImage () which opens a dialog box to select a SINGLE photo.

    Has anyone built an application that allows users to select multiple photos, or select all from the CameraRoll? You can access the embedded thumbnail DB or do you to import all the photos in the ApplicationStorageDirectory first? I'm better off the coast of writing an application native iOS?

    Mobile Flex allows something like this:

    // is this a security violation?
    var cameraRoll:File = new File('/var/mobile/Media/DCIM');
    
    var photos:Array = [];
    var folders:Array = cameraRoll.getDirectoryListing();
    for (var i:int=0 ; i<folders.length; i++) {
        var files:Array = folders[i].getDirectoryListing();
        for (var j:int=0 ; j<files.length; j++) {
            var photo:File = files[j];
            photos.push(photo);
        }
    }
    // show photos, somehow...
    

    However, this method does not give access to thumbnails managed by: ' / var/mobile/User/Media/Photos/Photo database '

    from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6936881/how-do-you-access-the-ios-camera-roll-from-a-fl project-mobile-ex

    At the moment (AIR 2.7), the CameraRoll class does not have the features you need. In AIR 3 (data release TBA), you can write a native extension that would provide these features. So if you need these features right now, or you do not the benefits of using AIR for the rest of your application are sufficient, you must write a native application. However, if the rest of the application is faster and easier to write Flex that Objective C or you want to publish the application on Android and Playbook (and maybe the office as well), and you can wait a bit for AIR 3, then you will probably be out before sticking with Flex.
