Photoshop :: Digitizing Family Photo Album And Its Captions
Apr 2, 2012
I use CS4 on the Mac. I'm looking for an efficient solution for digitizing family photo albums. I know how to scan and fix the scanned image, if necessary. I know how to organize photos in Adobe Bridge. What I'm clear on is how to create captions for the photos that will will be permanently linked to the photo files and can be output for on-screen or print albums / galleries.
Also, what is a good tool for creating output? InDesign is an obvious possibility for print; but I was wondering if there is some sort of plug-in or companion product for PS designed specifically for generating albums and slideshows.
On PSE12, can I make the caption I have given a photo to appear on thumbnail within an album? Is it possible to not have the # of the photo within the album to appear in the upper left corner of the thumbnail?
I'm interested in using Photoshop Elements to tag and caption my 11000 photos with details of names and places, but can I commit the changes to the image files so that they are available outside the Elements environment? I don't want to spend a lot of effort and have tags/captions only available within Elements, I want to embed the details in my photo collection.
For some reason, the photo captions have started appearing in quite large font over the top left of the photo in Develop. How do I remove them? And why did they suddenly appear? (the answer to the first will probably answer the second).
I am working on a picture of a photo album as you can see. I am lost now though. Can anyone give me any tips for the metal binding and rings? What do you guys think what should i change ? I dont have a picture of a photo album so I am just making it up as I along. I wanted to add little dot like things around the photos like they have in real photo albums, but i havent done it yet.
i cant figure out how to up-load pics from the site? what am I doing wrong there? I will upload a pic to picturetrail real quick, but how do I go about posting the .psd here so you can see what i am doing wrong or what not?
I caption my football photos with each player's two digit jersey number, ie. 01-99. I then upload them to SmugMug with the intent of allowing viewers to use the "search" function to view photos of only their player. Unfortunately, the SmugMug search engine ignores any caption that has 2 or less characters. I would like to append all my football captions in Lightroom 3 with an additional identifier to lengthen the caption so it will become searchable, for example append the "01" to "Titans01". I don't care if identifier is at beginning or end. I just want to be able to append an entire album at one time, not just one at a time.
I have copied a photo, using Explorer, into a directory from which an album has created.When I do a general search for the photo by name, it appears but when I open the album it is not displayed.The photo is not hidden but has no tags.I tried "Find items in album", but without success.
When I drag the album to a photo I get the error "Error Applying Keyword Tag(s)" Nothing about this in the pdf file supplied! Apparently in the UK we don't get free telephone tech support!
I have an album in "album order". I would like to copy a photo from another album and place it directly in the correct location in the subject album without having to having it appear at the end of the album and then drag it to the new location. Is this possible?
I recently had a friend take many photos of my family. Not one of the photos came out with all of us smiling and looking at the camera at the same time. Any suggestions of how to incorporate some photos together to make one good one? I have Photosho Elements 6 and I am pretty new to photoshop.
I am trying to make a web photo album in PS CS and am using the automatic feature that's built in. In that feature window, there is an option to add a custom text "tag" to the images to deter copying by others. I type in the text I want and complete everything there, however, when I click OK and make the album, it does not add the "tag"....when the images 'pop' up in PS as it goes through them all and creates the album, you can see that it adds the tag, but when the album is complete, NO TAG
Why won't my photo album copy to a disc or another folder on the hard drive. It shows that it copied but when you try to open it it says no files found. For some reason adobe element 11 is blocking my album from going anywhere but to shutter-fly or to stay in the create of 11. I have worked 2 day on my album and not i can't get it published into a book.
I am using photoshop elements 11 trial version before I buy one. I'm trying the wedding photo album, but I'm having trouble fitting a picture into the picture "slots" for lack of a better term. One picture that I simply want as a full picture is 8.5 x 11, 300 dpi. Photoshop elements will not let me see the entire picture.
I have PSE 12 (same license) installed on two computers. Each computer has its own file system and PSE catalog. Question: How to I transfer a album (with photo files) from computer A to computer B?.
In version 10, I could create an album, add photos to it, and then right click on the album name and select "Sort album by photo date", or something like that. This was very convenient when I had more than one source of photos for a certain event, like a vacation. This would change the "album order", which made it very convenient for creating photobooks or other projects where I wanted chronological order. I don't want to view by "Oldest first" in media view 1st before I save the album.
When I attempt to drag and drop a photo from the Elements 12 Organizer to an Album, it fails and the message, "Error Appllying Keyword Tag(s)" appears. How can I correct this?
How long should it take for an album of photos to be uploaded? Is there any faster way to distribute an album or large batch of photos besides uploading an album?
I am Trying out Light room and so far notfinding it not very friendly. when I open a Folder of pictures. even though Ichoose certain one to create a Photo Album to put on a Website it wants to put everything in not just what I select.
