• How simply move/Custom, organize your Photos in Lightroom 4?

  I am so frustrated at the moment. I'm in Lightroom 4 and I'm in the Mode Library grid. All I want to do is take a photo in the grid and move it to another location in the grid. It seems that you should be able to just click on the picture, drag and drop to where you would like placed on the grid. It's impossible. Then I read that the record must be clicked on also. So I clicked on the folder. Then, a pop-up said that I have, "can't move photos as long as there are subfolders". So I clicked on the subfolder and I still couldn't move picture. Then I read that I had to delete the subfolder. I did it and all 546 photos have been removed from Lightroom. I am now in the middle of importing the photos in Lightroom. Why is it so difficult? In Aperture, you need to drag the photo to the desired position. It works just like a toaster. But why Lightroom does make things so difficult? I wish someone would do a tutorial for Adobe TV about how simply move the photos. It is so basic and I can't understand it. Please, someone tell me just how to move a photo in Lightroom 4 to another position? Thank you.

  It seems that if you try to sort on a folder that has subfolders. LR will not allow this - you must open specific subfolder that contains only these images you need to sort and to do with it.

• Organize your desktop automatically by DATE Photos

  Hello

  I have a small concert photo editing that come to me (by email), all day, like a daily assignment. It can be of 3 photos, it may be 50. But they all get made and sent this day there. I have... 2 computers. We are old and for my photography only (a brick, but a giant screen). When I download pictures from my camera it automatically creates folders by date in Lightroom and it's very nice - to me. I understand that a LOT of people hate organization photography by date, but it works. If I went to Yosemite on 22 August, I'll remember that and search for that date.

  Nevertheless, with this editing work, on my main computer, I have a new version of Lightroom and it works just not for me. I want to have a record for the 07/10/16 function when the photo was imported, not based on me literally creating a folder and typing on. How can I get Lightroom to create a new folder for each import? I don't want to spend time, not getting paid, creating folders to folders on my computer just to organize the photos every day - is not point of Lightroom to, at least in some way, help to literally to organize your photos? Automatically?

  My apologies if I'm missing some HUGE key point here!

  Thanks in advance!

  I want to have a record for the 07/10/16 function when the photo was imported,

  Lightroom to create folders by date of capture. This seems different from what you're talking about, you have the ability to create folders by date of importation. Lightroom which does not (unless the date of importation is identical to the date of capture).

  It's not clear to me why you want the date of the photo was imported, what's not with the help of the built-in functionality of Lightroom that creates folders by date of capture?

  It is also not clear to me that in the future, you will remember that you have imported the photos of Yosemite on 07/10/16, and I don't think that this is a good method in the long term, unless you have a better memory of anyone I have ever met (and I am very skeptical that you have such a great memory) , years from now you will not remember the date that you imported photos. If you use the word Yosemite to organize, you will remember that and you won't have to stop and think what day you imported photos.

  isn't the point of Lightroom to, at least in some way, help to literally to organize your photos? Automatically?

  My apologies if I'm missing some HUGE key point here!

  Yes,'re missing you a few points here. First of all, no software can anticipate all the possible needs of the user, it's records by date of importation (based on my experience of reading these similar forums and) organizing method rather rarely discussed, I don't remember someone ask before, so that the files by date of capture is a common way of doing things. That would explain why Lightroom isn't a feature to create folders by date of importation.

  The other point that you are missing, it's that Lightroom has been designed to provide organizing tools that are not easily available in your operating system. These are things like keywords, captions, titles, collections, the coast stars, flags of choice and a host of other things. and it also provides research tools to help you find pictures with specific metadata. Of course, Lightroom also has access to the tools available in your operating system, such as the creation of files with specific names. That's what you want to do, and Lightroom can do for you, just the same as the fact of your operating system. You create the file with specific name and then put the photos here, just as you can do with your operating system.

  Make your life so much easier to assign the keyword Yosemite to these pictures and then use this keyword Yosemite to get these photos in the future, it eliminates the cognitive task extremely difficult to remember the date of the importation of thousands (tens of thousands?) pictures and replace this with the extremely simple method to keep in mind that the photos were taken in Yosemite We must look at Yosemite. This is the brilliance of Lightroom, the power of Lightroom, it eliminates difficult cognitive tasks and replaces them with cognitive tasks extremely simple.

• Organization of photo library

  Hello

  I am in the process by putting my main workstation to Windows to Mac. I have a pretty big photo archive (110 GB), that I always organized in the folders as I want - year, photo taken months and I use Bridge and Photoshop for editing (cloud Creative). I really _want_ to take photos but I understand Photos on import organizes all the pictures of the Photoslibrary in folders by date imported. That makes me hesitate. I don't understand. Have tried Googling and Youtubing, but cannot decide what to do. My biggest concern is that if I want to return to using Bridge and Photoshop as my main workflow I'd on the photos in Finder folders organized by photographing year/month - is it possible to export all the photos in the photo library in Finder folders organized by photo date taken?

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Help a total newbie on Mac out. I'm so confused.

  Pictures displays your photo library in two different views:

  1. The sight of Photos show you the photos organized by "Moments." A Moment is a group of photos taken on the same day in the same place.  The times appear firstly by capture date, oldest chronlogically.  You can change the display of the Moments to a view of collections or year for large groups of photos.  Collections are grouping related moments, so you will find pictures of holidays in a collection. The title of the collections and the moments will show catpture date and location, if your photos are tagged with GPS. I mainly use this view to access my photos to the capture date.  Collections and the 'Moments', years are saving me a lot of work, since the consolidation is carried out fully automatically.  I don't have to create folders named by date ranges and places on my own.
  2. The photos in the album 'Pictures' is sort by the date you imported, so that you can easily access the most recent import.

  And Yes, you can export your photos in folders named by date.  Among the export options is the subfolder option "name of the Moment."

  The Masters folder inside the photo library contains the original images, if you copy photos in the library, but it is not intended as a means to access pictures.  Always use the GUI of photos recover photos and pass them to external publishers.  To edit a photo in photoshop, you open the photo in edit mode and run the extension of "External editors" photo editing and select Photoshop as editor.

  You can read this help page: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht56eafa987

  and also: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht12e7a8015

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Photos will work this way, but you cannot use iCloud photo library.

  Also, this is not well supported to use the pictures in this way.  Photos has no tools to reconnect the pictures referenced quickly, if you must move the photos to another drive. or if you restore a backup photos, because the leaning reader operation.  You will have a lot of work, if you need to replace your drive with the library or move it to a new computer.  So I can't really recommend.  If you want to manage your photos from the Finder, do not use the Photos for Mac application.

  I prefer to have mage Photos my photos, because it is easy to create albums of the purpose FRO specific to search for photos: the date of capture one titles and legends, the names of the people in the photos, the name of the scene.

  But it is to you, how you want to organize your Photos.  You can use a Mac without the help of pictures.

  If you like Adobe software, why not use Lightroom?  It supports the referenced pictures and integrates well with Photoshop.

• Best way to share your photos - PSE 14?

  What is the best way to share your photos?

  When I consult with PSE 14 mode full screen, I see the full picture with captions.

  However:

  • Legends are not available in mode see the hand PDF Slide.
  • Create PDF Slide show mode, subtitles are available.
    • Howevever the full picture is not available. Most of the "themes" seem to cut the top and the bottom of certain images
    • And the themes seem to hijack images, rather than simply presenting the photos.

  Would like to be able to capture and send the view from the mode full-screen as a PDF or something.

  Still, what is the best way to share photos by e-mail?

  Thank you... Ron

  We have all different ideas on sharing via "email address" and often features elements are not satisfactory for our purpose. You have perfectly described two features of pdf, share via the output to a pdf slide show (or video) or pdf.

  Both are quick and easy, but there is no direct way to display captions with images full resolution and without transition effects.

  You can use the function 'Print' with 'other options' Organizer configured to display captions, date... and specify one of many virtual printer drivers send the result to PDF instead of printing (standard in Windows 10). A quick and automated to produce a PDF without transitions and captions.

  Or you can use a free, good software like Faststone resizer to prepare your output with more control over the size and position of the legend.

  I have another problem: my use of the legends is such that I'm not all the legends that are shown, and I don't want each picture to have a caption (or title or date...) In fact, the text I want to appear on the pdf presentation would be specific to each image, with a different position depending on the image. It can be done with some work, and the result is much better.

  When I want to share (I like Dropbox, but other storage cloud solutions are good), I choose my output size: (rare), HD TV screen full resolution or smaller. The Organizer, I do a resize a selection based on the height in pixels, then another resize a canvas based on the width, in pixels, with a black background. Can I edit the files individually to add text (not necessarily the legends) where I want to. It's the only job that requires little time, but the result is much better than including legends, both for the appearance of the text and the coherence of the story.

• Photoshop Elements, organizer &amp; mobile photos from Mac to PC

  Hello

  I have currently more 70 000 photos in iPhoto, I edit in Photoshop Elements.  I have myself treated just for an upgrade to 14 items and organizing see during the installation process reminded me that I should see how to store and organize my photos.  At some point soon, I intend to spend my Macbook to a PC.  14 items came with a disc of Mac and a PC drive, so I guess that I would be able to use it on a Windows laptop with no problems.  What I wonder is seen my photos on my Mac, organized to the Organizer if is going to make it easier or more difficult to transfer them to PC?  If I want with iPhoto to organize my photos for now, or take the plunge immediately and use Organizer? My understanding is that it will be a big headache in any case (advice gratefully received, but a little off topic!) to transfer my photo library from Mac to PC.  Is there a way that organizing can help the transition as I could use it on both Mac and PC?  I'm guessing not, but thought someone knowledgable might be able to help!

  Thank you

  I'm not a Mac user, but there are two ways to work with iPhoto: either use iPhoto as the organizer and send images to change to the item editor. You do not use the Organizer in the process. Or you use the option to send your entire library to the Organizer, which duplicates all your library iPhoto hidden on your computer and allows you to use the Organizer.

  http://barbarabrundage.com/2010/11/

  So, I can see the following process:

  1. be sure you are using the second solution, to import your ENTIRE library in iPhoto on your computer so that your files are no longer hidden and private iPhoto files; the Organizer all will keep them in its catalog.

  2. perform a full backup of the Organizer on an external drive

  3 - install the 14 on the PC

  4 - Use the recovery menu in the Organizer to restore on your computer. Who restores your catalog and all of your media files.

• Photos in Windows Explorer

  When I connect my iPhone to a Windows 10 PC, and I want to sort my photos using Windows File Explorer, all records are dated the same and it is not a way to filter or sort by them because of this.

  Also, there are currently 466 records, and many of them have only 1 file photo inside.

  My two questions are:

  Is there a way to sort or filter the files on Windows 10?

  Is it possible that I can clean up this mess of files? Or is it possible to know why he might have done this?

  Try to import pictures to your computer first. Connect the iPhone to the computer, open the file Explorer and the iPhone will show up as a device.  On a W10 computer, right-click on the iPhone and select Import. Then follow the prompts.

  This can help.

• Convenient way to transfer your photos with the browser with the interface to open the file one by one?

  Guys, is there a practical way to manage photos download from a browser with menu open the file?

  Almost 4 years ago I switched from Windows and I still have to keep a copy of Windows @ my iMac, retina uder | Desktop just to download the fotos on social networks!

  I can't find comparable sort on OS X with speed and efficiency of a Windows file manager in Windows! I have anyway to browse the files one by one in OS X and uploadinf the u as browser files? And then turning in the folder covered exactly the position of file where u left to transfer a file?

  For example I have 3000 photos in a folder of my trip to US. If I download choose and download few of them in a menu Finder to open the file in the browser and then return to the folder I want to browse all the photos from the beginning to find a file that I was browsing last! At least windows remembers the position of a file chosen when you left the file!

  Did you ever notice how LAGGY is photo navigation interface in the menu "Open a file" Safari? Especially when you set to display pictures in a LIST? GWD! The operating system that is more focused on the photo does not offer ANY practical way to manage photos!

  alejandro_64,

  Your workflow is erroneous. I would recommend that use you the Photos app to manage your photos and if you then want to upload them to a social network like Facebook, or else others you can do so directly from the Photos app. This way you can manage your photos and share those you want easily. If you use any Photos now, you're a great DIS-service.

  OS X is much more elegant and more simplified MS Windows has never been, unfortunately, you have not discovered what OS X features to do so.

• Is it possible to control the Organization of Photos?

  I finally bit the bullet and improved Mavericks with El Capitan and who now have to deal with pictures. I understand that pictures is designed to look like my iPhone and the iPad, but I don't store 64 000 photos on my iPhone. I'm not interested in using iCloud, so the fact that the Photos work well with iCloud is questionable. I got my photos carefully classified into events in iPhoto, often also the keywords tag and gathered in the smart Albums. I know that these events still exist on the sidebar in Photos, but I can scroll is no longer if they visually, using the key photos to see what event I'm (and scroll through a list of 450 events in a sidebar is quite heavy). There is no way to quickly scroll through my large library AT ALL. When I look at the years/collections/moments 'organization', it looks like big piles of photos, with no logic in how they are organized. You can not just get a representative of the group photograph, he must see all (& they are so small, that really nothing appears if you go at times for each & every group). They have random dates (sort of chronological, but not always), random places, that was (I found a lot of crazy places assigned - for example, a group of photos that were all taken home with a unknown place not assigned - in another State, no less!) - in short, not useful organization. If I want a picture in particular of January 2013, it will take a little research.

  I would like to put pictures together into groups that make sense to me. Is it possible to do that, far from putting a keyword on each. unique. Photo?

  p.s., Maybe someone else has already asked/answered my question, but when I tried to search for similar issues, the search engine could not do. It turns out that "Photos" can also be read as simple 'photos', so the search engine came up with hundreds of responses - any question with the word "photos". Note to Apple: choose a single word to your photo in the future program, please. Sheesh.

  Events are dead as a concept for the organization. Photos used Moments.

  You can change the size of the images with the zoom slider.

  You can use the search tool to quickly get to January 2013 - just type Jan... and see suggestions.

  If you want to group images by your own categories can use keywords or smart Albums Albums. It's really no different than iPhoto.

  Other than that, it's perfectly reasonable to find that the app is not good for you. It is not mandatory to use it and there are other managers of photos out there that would suit your workflow better. This is especially true if you have no use for the photo Cloud element.

• How can I get my photos from Windows Gallery to view and print in color, not just black and white?

  How can I get my Windows Gallery pictures to view and print in chiputa, not just black and white?

  Hi Petergrossman,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  I need few details about the question you posted.

  * What are the name and model of the printer?
  * You receive driver updates for your printer through Windows Update?
  * The printer prints the other applications in color?

  In the meantime, try the following steps.
   
  1. try to print the default pictures in Windows Photo Gallery and check if you get a printing color.
   
  2. try to uninstall the printer driver and reinstall it.

  Also check the setting of the color of the printer. Go to printer settings and make sure that you have selected the option to color.

  To print a picture, follow these steps: -.

  If you have a printer connected to your computer, you can make prints of digital photos. The quality of your photos depends on several factors, including the type of printer paper, ink and the settings of the printer of your choice. You can control many of these settings when you print the picture, but keep in mind that the overall quality and resolution of the digital picture you are printing will affect your final result.

  1. open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.

  2. click on the image you want to print.

  To select more than one picture, hold down the CTRL key while you click the pictures that you want to select.

  3. on the toolbar, click on print and then click on print.

  4. in the print pictures dialog box, select the printer, paper size, qualite quality print, style print and number of copies to print.

  5. When you have finished choosing how you want to print your photos, click Print to start printing.

  Choose printing options follow these steps: -.

  Before you send a print job to the printer, decide if you want to print all or part of the document or Web page. You may, for example, annotate the pages to print or select a part of a document before sending it to the printer.

  Here are common printing tasks to consider:

  1. to print that a hollering part of a document or a file, make a note of the page numbers for each page you want to print.
  2. If you want to print part of a page or a Web page only, select the content to print before printing.
  3. If you want to print a specific page, click anywhere on the page before choosing the print options for the document.
  4. the page that you clicked becomes the current page and you can print it by selecting this option in the print dialog box.

  After deciding what to print, choose how the print copies should look, and then select a printer.
  Use print preview

  To see what the print will look like before you print it, open the document in a program that offers a preview before printing. Print preview is generally located in the file menu of a program. You should be able to get an overview of each page of the document. In some programs, you can choose print in preview mode options and then print directly from the preview. In other programs, you will need to close the preview, change the document or your printer settings and print.

  If you preview or print a document, and it does not appear the way that you intended, you will need to change the document or change your print options. For example, if one part of your document fits on the printed page, you may need to reduce the font size, reduce the margins, or change the page layout and then try to print again.

  Tested by opening the installed LifeCam software. Describes the options to take photo, audio or video. "Or the other option does appear immediately the error" LifeCam could not save your, photo, audio clip or video clip.

  Shows Device Manager is installed correctly.
  Swapping the same USB ports it shows in the software, no device detected, a driver is re-installed during the exchange of the ports, it comes up with the 3 options mentioned before and again the same error message.

  Have also tried Google chat and shows no video, but gives the possibility to do video chats.

  System: Windows 7 64-bit.
  I have full admin rights on the system...

  Christophe ideas?

  Hello Striff,

  If the camera is not detected, it seems to me that the drivers are not installed for the device works, I suggest you reinstall the Lifecam drivers and check if you have the same problem.

  I suggest that you try different methods listed in the following article to resolve this problem:
