iPhoto: The Missing Manual by David Pogue, Lesa Snider
In case you haven’t heard, the digital camera market has exploded. At this point, a staggering 98 percent of cameras sold are digital. It’s taken a few decades—the underlying technology used in most digital cameras was invented in —but film photography has been reduced to a niche activity.
And why not? The appeal of digital photography is huge. When you shoot digitally, you don’t pay a cent for film or photo processing. You get instant results, viewing your photos just moments after shooting them, making even Polaroids seem painfully slow by comparison. As a digital photographer, you can even be your own darkroom technician—without the darkroom. You can retouch and enhance photos, make enlargements, and print out greeting cards using your home computer. Sharing your pictures with others is far easier, too, since you can email them to friends, post them on the Web, or burn them to CD or DVD. As one fan puts it, “There are no ‘negatives’ in digital photography.”
But there is one problem. When most people try to do all this cool stuff, they find themselves drowning in a sea of technical details: JPEG compression, EXIF tags, file format compatibility, image resolutions, FTP clients, and so on. It isn’t pretty.
The cold reality is that while digital photography is full of promise, it’s also been full of headaches. During the early years of digital cameras, just making the camera-to-computer connection was a nightmare. You had to mess with serial or USB cables; install device drivers; and use proprietary software to transfer, open, and convert camera images into a standard file format. If you handled all these tasks perfectly—and sacrificed a young goat during the spring equinox—you ended up with good digital pictures.
A Quick History of iPhoto
Apple recognized this mess and decided to do something about it. When Steve Jobs gave his keynote address at Macworld Expo in January , he referred to the “chain of pain” that ordinary people experienced when attempting to download, store, edit, and share their digital photos.
He also focused on another growing problem among digital photographers: Once you start shooting free, filmless photos, they pile up fast. Before you know it, you have , pictures of your kid playing soccer. Just organizing and keeping track of all those photos is enough to drive you insane.
Apple’s answer to all these problems was iPhoto, a simple and uncluttered program designed to organize, edit, and distribute digital photos without the nightmarish hassles. Successive versions added features and better speed.
To be sure, iPhoto isn’t the most powerful image-management software in the world. Like Apple’s other iProducts (iMovie, iTunes, and so on), its design subscribes to its own little 80/20 rule: 80 percent of us really don’t need more than about 20 percent of the features you’d find in a full-blown, digital asset management program/pro-level image editor like, say, Apple’s own Aperture ($80) or Adobe Photoshop Lightroom ($).
Today, millions of Mac fans use iPhoto. And the big news is that you don’t even need a Mac to use iPhoto: In , Apple introduced iPhoto for iOS, which can run on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch. Heck, the new iOS version of iPhoto even lets you do things the desktop version doesn’t, like paint changes onto your photos, upload slideshows to the Web, and create snazzy, customizable online scrapbook-style pages called web journals (see Web Journals). You’ll learn all about iPhoto for iOS in Part 4 of this book.
Note
In the past, Apple added a year abbreviation to iPhoto’s name to help you keep track of each version (like “iPhoto ’11”). But Apple has decided to drop the number, and simply calls the latest version of the program “iPhoto.” If you want to get technical, this book covers iPhoto for Mac version , and iPhoto for iOS version
What’s New in iPhoto for Mac
On the surface, the current version of iPhoto for Mac looks more polished and grown-up than its predecessors. For example, the friendly, full-color icons of versions past have been replaced by more streamlined and sophisticated art. The program is also faster than ever now that it’s bit capable (the box on Demystifying bit explains why), and uses Apple Maps (instead of Google’s) to handle location tags. It also harbors new features that make it shockingly simple to share your photos with the world:
iCloud integration. iPhoto sports numerous hooks into iCloud, Apple’s free online storage and syncing service. By flicking a few key switches on your Mac and your iOS gadgets, the last 1, photos and videos you take on your iPhone can appear on your Mac and your iPad. Likewise, the last 1, photos and videos you imported onto your Mac appear on your iOS gadgets, too. You can also create shared photo streams, which let you invite up to other iCloud members to subscribe, comment on, and even contribute to online albums of photos and videos. And if the person you want to share your photos with doesn’t use iCloud, you can create a beautiful web gallery (Exporting iPhoto Web Pages) to share with him instead.
Social media sharing. iPhoto ’09 brought online social media sharing to the masses, and the latest version of iPhoto fine-tunes the process even further. Nowadays, you can easily upload photos and videos to an existing Facebook album or Flickr set, as well as create new albums and sets on the fly. You can also manage privacy settings for the individual items you post onto your Facebook Timeline (previously, you could manage the privacy settings only of albums), and view comments and “likes” in the Info panel. iPhoto also lets you share pictures via instant message using the Mac’s Messages app, as well as post them on Twitter—all from inside iPhoto. The program even keeps track of where you’ve shared your images; just select an image and peek at the Info panel to see where it’s been.
Streamlined printing process. Printing in iPhoto used to be fraught with a dizzying array of options like digital matting, borders, and so on. Now, printing your photos is a wonderfully simple, foolproof process that involves a single screen of only the most practical of printing options, such as photo and paper size. You even get a preview of exactly what your print(s) will look like, which keeps you from wasting expensive photo paper and ink.
Easier slideshow exporting. Apple revamped the way you export slideshows into a movie. Instead of multiple options, you can now choose from three sizes—p, p, p—and you can send the resulting QuickTime movie to iTunes for syncing onto your iOS devices.
There are other, more subtle changes, too. For example, iPhoto now behaves like a true database program and no longer makes copies of the files you edit; it merely keeps a record of your changes to each photo. That’s a big, big deal that can save you a huge amount of disk space.
Keywords and location tags can now be tucked into the files you export, there are a slew of new card designs, and the process for turning your Mac into the coolest screensaver ever has been simplified, too. Unfortunately, Apple removed the ability to share iPhoto libraries over a network, though this book walks you through some great workarounds.
Overall, the entire program feels more streamlined, and complex tasks like sharing photos, exporting slideshows, and printing (to name a few) just don’t seem very complex anymore. In short, there are quite a few changes, so you’ll definitely need a book to keep track; lucky for you, you’re holding that book right now.
Introducing iPhoto for iOS 7
These days, iPhoto isn’t just for your Mac—there’s a very similar app for your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, too. The controls are similar, yet different enough to warrant three chapters, new in this edition, devoted solely to iPhoto on your iOS 7 gadgets.
Note
iPhoto isn’t available in iOS 8 or later, which Apple released in September So if you’ve updated your iDevice to the latest version of iOS, you’re out of luck.
Peruse your pictures. It’s incredibly easy to get your pictures into iPhoto for iOS, whether you shot them with your iOS device, synced them onto your device using iTunes, shared them via iCloud, snatched them from an email or instant message, or downloaded them directly onto your iPad from your camera or memory card. iPhoto for iOS organizes your mementos in three handy views: Photos, Albums, and Projects.
Compare, flag, and tag photos. iPhoto’s slick comparison feature lets you see multiple shots side by side so you can determine which one is the best. And if you double-tap a thumbnail, iPhoto rounds up all the similar photos in that particular album. You can also add keywords to your pictures, as well as mark some as favorites (handy when you come across a photo that you want to do something special with later, like post it online).
Edit your photos. iPhoto for iOS has all the same editing prowess as iPhoto for Mac—and then some. For example, you can use the Brushes tool to paint changes onto a photo in just the spots that need changing (teeth lightening, anyone?). You can also intensify just the blues or greens in your pictures, and/or apply one of nine categories of creative effects like funky edges, color treatments, and trendy filters (including a nifty tilt-shift blur).
Share your photos and slideshows. To help get your photographic life online, iPhoto for iOS provides a painless path for posting pictures on Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter, and for sending them via email or instant message. Even more exciting, you can create and post a slideshow online using your iCloud account so that far-flung friends and family can see it. You can also beam or AirDrop photos, videos, and slideshows onto other iOS devices.
Create digital scrapbooks with web journals. Another exclusive iPhoto for iOS feature are web journals, which let you include up to pictures in an array of highly customizable, grid-style layouts. By using gestures, you can resize, rearrange, and reposition pictures, as well as add festive visual extras such as maps, Post-it notes, weather reports, and more. You can also add dividing lines and spacers to create exactly the design you want. Once you’re finished, post your journal online using iCloud, beam or AirDrop it onto another iOS device, or export it as HTML files using iTunes.
Order photo books and prints. iPhoto for iOS also lets you design and order hardcover photo books and prints in a variety of sizes. The print-ordering process is incredibly well designed and gives you some neat, non-standard size options. And if you’ve got a wireless printer on your network, you can print straight from your iOS device.
Don’t let the rumors fool you: iPhoto may be simple, but it’s far from simplistic. It offers a wide range of tools, shortcuts, and database-like features; a complete arsenal of photo-presentation tools; and sophisticated multimedia and Internet hooks. Unfortunately, many of the best techniques aren’t covered in the only “manual” you get with iPhoto—its sparse electronic help screens.
This book was born to serve as the definitive iPhoto manual. It explores each of the program’s features in depth, offers shortcuts and workarounds, provides helpful tips, and unearths features that the online help never mentions.
And to make it all go down easier, this book has been printed in full color. Kind of makes sense for a book about photography, doesn’t it?
This book is divided into five parts, each containing several chapters:
Part 1, covers the fundamentals of getting your pictures into iPhoto for Mac. This includes getting photos off your cameras and smartphones, filing them, associating them with people and places, and searching them.
Part 2, is all about how to get your photos looking their best and how to show them off. It covers the many ways iPhoto for Mac can present your photos to other people: on iCloud as a shared photo stream; on Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter; as an instant message; as a slideshow; as prints you order online or make yourself; as a professionally printed card or book; by email; or as a slideshow exported as a QuickTime movie that you post online, share via iCloud, send to your iPhone, distribute on DVD, or sync with your Apple TV. It also covers workarounds for sharing your iPhoto collection across a network with other Macs and with other account holders on the same Mac.
Part 3, covers a potpourri of additional iPhoto features, including turning photos into screensavers or desktop pictures on your Mac; scripting tasks using Automator; exporting the photos in various formats; managing (and even switching) iPhoto libraries; and backing up your photos using external hard drives, Time Machine, or by burning them to a CD or DVD.
Part 4, covers everything you need to know about using iPhoto on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, including syncing, browsing, organizing, and managing albums (iPhoto creates several albums automatically). You’ll also master the controls for basic and advanced editing, have tons of fun with Instagram-style filters, as well as create slideshows, web journals (gorgeous, customizable web galleries), book projects, and prints.
Part 5, brings up the rear, but gives you a chance to move forward. Appendix A offers troubleshooting guidance, and Appendix B lists some very helpful websites that will help fuel your growing addiction to digital photography and image editing. The remaining two appendixes are available from this book’s Missing CD page at standardservices.com.pk: Appendix C goes through iPhoto for Mac’s menus one by one to make sure that every last feature has been covered, and Appendix D shows you how to use the now-retired iDVD to make incredible slideshow DVDs.
Throughout this book, and throughout the Missing Manual series, you’ll find sentences like this one: “Open the System folder→Libraries→Fonts folder.” That’s shorthand for a much longer instruction that directs you to open three nested folders in sequence. That instruction might read: “On your hard drive, you’ll find a folder called System. Open it. Inside the System folder window is a folder called Libraries. Open that. Inside that folder is yet another one called Fonts. Double-click to open it, too.”
Similarly, this kind of arrow shorthand helps to simplify the business of choosing commands in menus. The instruction “Choose Photos→Duplicate” means, “In iPhoto for Mac, open the Photos menu at the top of your monitor, and then choose the Duplicate command.”

You’ll find very little jargon or nerd terminology in this book. You will, however, encounter a few terms and concepts that you’ll see frequently in your Mac life. Here are the essentials:
Clicking. To click means to point the arrow cursor at something onscreen and then—without moving the cursor at all—press and release the clicker button on the mouse or trackpad. To double-click, of course, means to click twice in rapid succession, again without moving the cursor. And to drag means to move the cursor while keeping the button continuously pressed.
When you’re told to ⌘-click something, you click while pressing the ⌘ key (it’s next to the space bar). Shift-clicking, Option-clicking, and Control-clicking work the same way—just click while pressing the corresponding key on your keyboard. (On non-U.S. Mac keyboards, the Option key may be labeled “Alt” instead.)
Keyboard shortcuts. Every time you take your hand off the keyboard to move the mouse, you lose time and potentially disrupt your creative flow. That’s why many experienced Mac fans use keystroke combinations instead of menu commands wherever possible. ⌘-P opens the Print dialog box, for example, and ⌘-M minimizes the current window to the Dock.
When you see a shortcut like ⌘-Q (which quits the current program), it’s telling you to hold down the ⌘ key, and, while it’s down, type the letter Q, and then release both keys. And if you forget a keyboard shortcut, don’t panic. Just look at the menu item and you’ll see its keyboard shortcut listed to its right. (To see a list of all the keyboard shortcuts in iPhoto for Mac, choose Help→Keyboard Shortcuts.)
Touchscreen basics. On an iOS device (an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch), you do everything on the touchscreen instead of with physical buttons. You’ll do a lot of tapping on the screen, and navigate by swiping your finger across the screen (say, to move from viewing one album, Event, or photo to the next). You drag by sliding your finger across the glass in any direction.
A flick is a faster, less-controlled drag. You flick vertically to scroll through lists of photos, say. You’ll discover—usually with some expletive like “Whoa!” or “Jeez!”—that scrolling a list in this way is a blast. The faster you flick, the faster the list spins up or down. And lists have real-world momentum: They slow down after a second or two, so you can see where you wound up.
Last but not least, you can zoom in on a photo or map by spreading—that’s when you place two fingers (usually thumb and forefinger) on the glass and then spread them apart. The image magically grows as though it’s printed on a sheet of rubber. Once you’ve zoomed in like this, you can zoom out again by putting two fingers on the glass and pinching them together.
If you’ve mastered this much information, you have all the technical background you need to enjoy iPhoto: The Missing Manual.
Note
Apple has officially changed what it calls the little menu that pops up when you Control-click (or right-click) something on your Mac. It’s still a contextual menu, in that the menu choices depend on the context of what you click—but it’s now called a shortcut menu. That term not only matches the name of the corresponding Windows feature, but it’s slightly more descriptive about its function. “Shortcut menu” is the term you’ll find in this book.
In OS X, shortcut menus are more important than ever.
They’re so important, in fact, that it’s worth this ink and this paper to explain the different ways you can trigger a “right-click” (or a secondary click, as Apple calls it, because not all of these methods actually involve a second mouse button, and it doesn’t have to be the right one).
Control-click. For years, you could open the shortcut menu of something on the Mac screen by Control-clicking it—and you still can. That is, while pressing the Control key (bottom row), click the mouse on your target.
Right-click. Experienced computer fans have always preferred the one-handed method: right-clicking. That is, clicking something by pressing the right mouse button on a two-button mouse.
Every desktop Mac since late has come with a two-button mouse—but you might not realize it. Take a look: Is it a white, shiny plastic capsule with a tiny, gray scrolling track pea on the far end? Then you have a Mighty Mouse. Is it a cordless, flattened capsule instead? Then it’s a Magic Mouse. Each has a secret right mouse button. It doesn’t work until you ask for it.
To do that, choose
→System Preferences. Click Mouse. There, in all its splendor, is a diagram of the Mighty or Magic Mouse.
Your job is to choose Secondary Button from the pop-up menu that identifies the right side of the mouse. (The reason it’s not called a “right button” is because left-handers might prefer to reverse the right and left functions.)
From now on, even though there aren’t two visible mouse buttons, your Mighty Mouse does, in fact, register a left-click or a right-click depending on which side of the mouse you push down. It works a lot more easily than it sounds like it would.
(Another idea: You can also attach any old $6 USB two-button mouse to the Mac, and it’ll work flawlessly. Recycle the one from your old PC, if you like.)
Use the trackpad. If you have a trackpad (a laptop, for example), you can trigger a right-click in all kinds of ways.
Out of the box, you do it by clicking the trackpad with two fingers. The shortcut menu pops right up.
Or you can point to whatever you want to click. Rest two fingers on the trackpad—and then click with your thumb.
But even those aren’t the end of your options. In System Preferences→Trackpad, you can also turn on even more right-click methods (and watch little videos on how to do them). For example, you can “right-click” by clicking either the lower-right or lower-left corner of the trackpad—one finger only.
In this book, rather than repeating those paragraphs of “ ways to right-click” instructions over and over, we’ll just say “Control-click.” You now know that that can also mean “right-click” (if you have a desktop Mac) or “two-finger click” (if you have a trackpad).

This plugin allows you to export images from Lightroom directly to your Flickr account.
This plugin works in Lightroom Classic, and older versions as far back as Lightroom 3, though some features depend on the version of Lightroom.
The same download works for both Windows and Mac. See the box to the upper right for the download link (in orange) and installation instructions.
Please see the FAQ and known issues before reporting bugs. If this is your first look at my export plugins, please see the announcement post for an overview and some important information.
When run in Lightroom or later, there is support for Lightroom's new Publish feature that goes well beyond what Adobe's built-in plugin provides. See the manual for Publish to Flickr for details.
Availability
This plugin is distributed as &#;donationware&#;. I have chosen to make it available for free — everyone can use it forever, without cost of any kind — but unless registered, its functionality is somewhat reduced after six weeks.
Registration is done via PayPal, and if you choose to register, it costs the minimum 1-cent PayPal fee; any amount you'd like to add beyond PayPal's sliding fees as a gift to me is completely optional, and completely appreciated.
Note: a Lightroom major upgrade, such as from Lr6 to Lr7 (or the equivalent under the hood for the Lightroom Classic subscription) de-registers the plugin in the upgraded version, so if you want to maintain registration, a new ($ if you like) registration code is needed in the upgraded version. It makes for a hassle every couple of years, I know. Sorry. See this note for details.
For details on plugin registration and on how I came into this hobby of Lightroom plugin development, see my Plugin Registration page.
Version History
( Update Log via RSS )
Handle the "All Except Camera & Camera Raw Info" metadata option WRT geoprivacy. |
Try to make the create-collection dialog fit more screens, better. Work around a Windows bug related to canceling out of the registration dialog. Some of the filename-related tokens could be incorrect in rare situations. Added some extra debug logging to note whether the plugin is enabled. |
Added the LensInfo template token. Updated the Exposure token to allow customization. More token work: added {Urls}, and updated {ISO} and {Copyright} to allow customization. Added the {RelativeFolder} token. Fixed the SST1 and SST2 tokens. |
Added functions , , , and to the LUA token. |
When not logged in, make it more clear what you're not logged into, and how to fix it. Updated the alphabetical sort to be "sorta-smart alphabetical sort", whereby names that differ only by a number are sorted numerically. For example, "album2" properly falls between "album1" and "album3", but "album20" falls after. The former straight-up alphabetical sort put "album20" before "album3", which is ugly and unpractical. Added the variable to the token. Fixed a problem with the SpeedKPH token. Finally figured out the “Assertion failed: packed” error. Added TempC and TempF to the template tokens that my plugins understand. Added the TempC and TempF tokens. Updated the keyword-related tokens to accept standard filters. Work around a bug that sometimes causes plugins to be disabled when starting Lightroom via clicking on a catalog file. Fix an "Unknown key: captureTime" crash. Added the GPSCoords token. Fixed a problem related to template tokens and photos without capture times. |
Created a way to completely disable the fetching of photo comments and ratings from Flickr. Lightroom normally does this for every photo in a publish collection after every publish operation, and that overhead can be significant if you have many photos in your collection. If you never care about photo comments, you can now visit the Plugin Manager to completely disable the fetching and the overhead. |
Make the template-editing window a big bigger in the caption editor. |
Updates for Lr8 (Lightroom Classic CC Version 8). Added the special function to the {LUA} token. Added hierarchical options to the token. Try to work around a Lightroom bug related to photo timezones and how Lightroom handles accessing plugin data. |
Well, goodness, it seems that Flickr renamed the concept of "sets" to "albums" some years ago, but didn't announce it? All the API documentation still refers to "sets" and makes no mention of "albums". I couldn't find any kind of announcement about it. Weird. I don't use Flickr personally, so I didn't notice as a user. In any case, I think I've updated the plugin to reflect this no-longer-new nomenclature. Properly handle album names with double quotes in them. |
Fixed the problems some folks have been having with Flickr with the previous version. The underlying error was my fault, but it wasn't apparent because Flickr responded with a "we're having technical issues" response.. Added the SST1, SST2, and SS3 tokens to the template tokens that the plugin understands. Sometimes Lightroom loses the "Visit At " link for a publish collection; dig harder to come up with it anyway. |
Input fields that accept a location can now handle a What3Words code and a Plus Code. Clicking on the version number in the Plugin Manager now copies version info to the clipboard Updated the PublishCollectionName token to allow numeric arguments along the lines of the CollectionName token. Added the folowing template tokens: , , , , , Added the 'PCH' variable to the {LUA} tag. |
Fixed a bug when 'Token Examples' invoked in certain situations. Added a bunch of token filters: F2D F2S F2X B2D B2S B2X S2X A2D A2S A2X |
Added the and tokens to the data templates that my plugins understand. When encountering catalog corruption, present a better error message. Added some extra debug logging. Updated the Keywords token, and added the KWf function to the {LUA} token. |
Flickr has been having a lot of technical difficulties lately, so try to report on this better when it happens. |
Better handle some character-encoding issues related to template tokens. Allow the "If Exists" feature of template tokns to work with the PluginProperty token. Update registration support to handle a stupid bug at PayPal that PayPal refuses to fix )-: |
Fixed a bug introuded the other day in template tokens, related to Windows filenames. |
It seems that Flickr now has a pubished limit of 75 tags per photo. It's good that this limit is published, but it brings up the question as to what to do when a photo has more than that limit. For the time being, tags added via the "extra tags to include" have the highest priority. Then image keywords. Then machine tags from the city/state/etc. If there are too many image keywords, the shortest ones are dropped off until the list is under the limit. For the time being, if there are too many keyword, extras are dropped silently. Added the Newline template token. Enhanced the FolderName token |
Ratings are no longer fetched for every photo after every publish operation ratings are now lumped with comments and controlled by the "Importing Comments from Flickr" options. Added "ISODate" to the template tokens that my plugins understand. |
Oops, yesterday's update caused all photos sent to Twitter to be marked as sensitive. |
Retooled to use a new Twitter API, allowing photos not to take up any characters in a tweet. |
Added some debug logging for the comment-fetch avoidance stuff. Better dialog real-estate managment for the meatadata section. Added Weekday, Wday, weekday, and wday to the list of template tokens that my plugins understand. Fixed a bug with the keyword tables in the token. |
Removed the hard limit on pixel size for uploads to Flickr. The limit that used to be there was an undocumented limit due to a bug on their side, but it now seems to be fixed. Added the following tokens to the templates that my plugins understand: , , , , , , , , , , , , , . Fix for Lightroom 2. Support for older versions of Lightroom will be stopped soon. Got around a situation where Lighroom would crash duing an export of large images. |
Exclude "Auto Upload" from the list of sets Flickr doesn't allow manual additions to that set. Added the {FilenameNumber} token to the templates that my plugins understand. Some updates to support Lr2. Lr2 is sufficiently old that I will drop support for it soon. |
Work around a bug in Lightroom in how dates are computed for shipment to Flickr. |
Try to avoid yet another place where Lightroom gets hung because it can't handle certain kinds of dialogs at the same time. Add some extra debug logging. Fix to get around a Mac display issue with Lr6 on OSX. Added Russian-langauge support for the People-Support tag. |
Updated for changes Flickr apparently made to the licensing notations, but neglected to document. "Public Domain Dedication" and "Public Domain Mark" are now supported, and "US Government Work" has been removed. Also works in coordination with Creative Commons plugin which has seen similar updates. Updated Twitter support to better count lengths of tweets that include URLs. Added ChildOf and DescendantOf filters to the {Keywords} and {KeywordsAll}template tokens that my plugins understand. Fixed a bug with the 'edit saved credentials' dialog. Fixed how custom {People} formatting works with people keywords that have no birthday associated with them. |
| Fix some inefficiencies when creating a new set on the fly in a Publish Service. |
| Flickr seems to sometimes be returning garbage data in photo group/pool lists, so try to filter that out. |
Fixed the "SpecPeople attemt to index al nil value" error. Clicking on the example caption in the export dialog now brings up a dialog showing the whole example caption, which is useful to see the full thing when it contains multiple lines. |
When creating a new set for a Publish Collection, explicitly note if the new-set name conflicts with an exsiting set's name, rather than just silently disallow the creation. Some metadata updates could be considered failures when they were not. UI fix for OSX |
| Added some debug logging to track down a group-pool issue. |
Fixed an assert-failure bug that could happen when editing a collection's settings. |
In the POODLE-vunerability dialog, display a raw URL of a page on my site that discusses the issue, so that folks can be independently sure that the dialog is indeed from me and not malware. |
The location part of the "import metadata from Flickr" feature was broken. Fix to the date_diff() function supported by the LUA template token. The Plugin-Extras dialog to resend metadata could allow the [Resend] button to be pressed when no metadata was selected, resulting in confusion. Updated the camera-name code to try to guess the actual camera model of Hasselblad H5D files, since in their infinite wisdom Hasselblad decided to encode three distinct models with the same internal code, making it impossible to know for sure what camera produced a given image file. The manual-association dialog didn't recognize Flickr photo URLs that do not end with a '/'. Apparently Flickr sometimes omits the trailing '/'. Add a note to Flickr's intermittent "Filetype was not recognised" error to let people know that there's not much one can do but wait to try again later and hope for better luck. |
If the remote site sends back garbage during the authorization handshake, properly report the error instead of crashing. |
| Try to work around a display bug on a MBP for the smart-collection edit dialog. |
Added an 'Export Location Override' section to the Publishing Manager dialog (when editing an existing publish service) that allows you to change the Export Location. I don't know why Adobe doesn't let you change it. |
Use a compressed view on the Plugin Extras dialog if the screen is not very tall. Experimental: try to avoid networking issues on slow connections with an explicitly long timeout. When associating a Lr image to a Flickr image manually, incorporate the actual posted time to Flickr as the upload time in the photo history in Lr. |
| When Flickr is having "issues", as seems to be common these days, they sometimes return huge HTML pages instead of API data, and this sometimes caused huge dialogs that required a force-kill of Lightroom. |
Better debug logging of Twitter interaction. Very long tweet text could break the dialog display. Don't allow expert when we know ahead of time that the tweet is too long. If twitter rejects a tweet (e.g. because it's too large), show the tweet and offer to allow the user to edit/resend at standardservices.com.pk |
Added extra logging to debug why Lightroom might fail to render for export |
| Windows Only: Add a one-time check for the POODLE security vulnerability, and alert the user if it exists. |
| Update to the Flickr remote server to contact for uploads. |
| Better error reporting with the visit-collection item in Publish. |
Added the ability to quietly (or semi-quietly) ignore over-limit group pools in Publish. Plugin could get confused, not realizing that a photo has been removed from a group Better reporting when a group-pool submission is rejected due to the nature of the submission (e.g. it's not geoencoded when the pool requires that it be). |
| Allow PNG originals (with any Lightroom changes ignored) to be uploaded. |
Made the {GPSAltitude}, {Altitude}, and {GPSCoordinates} tokens subject to the geo-privacy settings like the other geo-related tokens. |
Fixed an issue with Creative-Cloud revalidation. |
The "Claim" feature in Publish wasn't setting the "View photo at FLickr" URL. |
Lr and later Creative-Cloud installs can now revalidate themselves if needed. |
| Sigh, introduced an error for some folks with the rebuild the other day. |
| When sending the user's browser to Flickr, do it to the HTTPS version of the page. |
Add a note to the Keyword options to highlight that only exportable keywords are considered |
Set up the ability to reauthenticate to your Flickr account from the Publishing Manager dialog. Added the ability to restrict machine tag location items. Added the geo:location machine tag. Yikes, the "geo:country" machine tag was misspelled as "geo:countrys". |
| Added an option to not explicitly send the "Date Taken" info to FLickr. |
| A missing 'automatic destination' could cause the plugin to crash. |
Added new tokens to the template language the plugin understands: LrVersion, LrVersionMajor, LrVersionMinor, LrVersionRevision, LrVersionBuild, CatalogName, CatalogPath, OperatingSystem, OS Added new token filters: NS and LO |
Fixed a bug in the "smoother revalidation" stuff recently added. |
| Manual url-to-image association didn't work with https urls. |
Fixed a sublocation-related bug in the new geo-privacy stuff. The {Empty} template token wasn't working properly. Make the revalidation process smoother, especially for folks using Lr and later. |
Note: updating to/past this version will cause a silly catalog-must-be-updated dialog to pop up once. Just answer "Update Catalog". Fixed auto-destinations in Publish smart collecitons. Moved all Flickr API interaction to secure https. Flickr's prior http API was secure against an attacker accessing your account, but not against an attakcer sniffing information exchanged between Lightroom and Flickr. Now, only Flickr, Lightroom, and the NSA can see the data exchanged. Added the "Recent Flickr Comment" custom metadata item, which holds the date of the most recent comment for a Published photo, in YYYY-MM-DD format. While in the "Published Photos" section of the Library Grid, you can set the Filter to "Recent Flickr Comment" and then scroll down to the end to see the most recent dates, and via that see the most-recently commented photos. It's a bit unelegant, but it's the best I can think of within the severe limits of Lightroom's plugin infrastructure. |
The new Location Privacy stuff added recently didn't work properly from the resend-metadata dialog. |
Added a new "Location Privacy" section to the Exprt/Publish dialogs. Updated the location-based tokens in the template language the plugin uses — City, State, Country, Location, Latitude, Longitude — to respect new privacy options in the Export/Publish dialogs, and in the resend-metadata dialog. You can override those options on a case-by-case basis with the filter. Added variable to the environment available to the token. Now properly remove location at Flickr during a resend if it's been removed/hidden in Lightroom. During a normal export that performs an image-replacement at Flickr, you can now choose to replace the image metadata as well. Auto-destination smart publish collection rules couldn't be edited. |
Flickr doesn't allow (no longer allows?) videos to be replaced, so check at the start of an export to see whether we'll run into this, and abort the export if so. This'll save having to wait until you've spent an hour rendering a bunch of videos before being told you can't do it. Enable a new feature internal to Lr5 for large exports that keeps the CPU from running too far ahead of the upload. Prior to this, Lightroom would go ahead and peg the CPU to pre-render all the images even if they weren't being uploaded at nearly the same speed. Now Lightroom pauses the behind-the-scenes rendering if it has gotten too far ahead of the upload. |
| Enabled the "Visit photoset at Flickr" publish-service collection context-menu item. |
| Replaced the "check status" code introduced in with better code I'd already had written for other plugins but had forgotten about a testament to how complex these plugins have gotten, and how bad my memory has gotten. |
| Fix a problem that could pop up with importing GPS data from Flickr. |
Added (to File gt; Plugin Extras) the ability to check the remote status to see whether uploaded photos are still there, and clear out data from the catalog when they are not. Added a way to set the visibility at Flickr via the star rating. Added keywords to the list of metadata that can be imported back from Flickr. |
| Oops, fix a bug introduced in the previous update |
Added a bunch of tokens to the preset templates supported: , , , , , , , , and . The token-examples dialog had been broken. Also deprecated and tokens in preference to and tokens. |
Work around a Lightroom bug concerning the determination of whether a photo is offline. |
Added the ability to import titles, captions, and locations from Flickr back into Lightroom. |
Fixed the KW/KWE tables in template tokens; they had been broken when using load for the script. Better handle very long user account names, so that the [Logout] button doesn't get cut off of the Export dialog. |
Made big updates to the "Export with Smart Previews?" section; you can now pick to be asked whether to export via Smart Previews, and can differentiate between when the Smart Previews are "good enough" for an export and when they are not. Flickr servers have been increasingly flaky for some users, returning empty responses, so try to catch this and report it as such to the user. |
Added an "Ask" option to the "Export with Smart Previews?" section, so one can be alerted to the situation at each export. Moved the "Export with Smart Previews?" dialog section to a more-logical place in the order. Avert an "FlickrCleanupAndSync bad argument #1" error. |
Work around a bug that causes the export-related progress bar to not show up right away. |
| Flickr underwent a huge change recently, but they still haven't updated the docs that third-party apps like this plugin use. But it seems that non-Pro accounts can now replace photos, so this update allows for it. |
| Sigh, previous update for Lr5 broke things for the Lr5 beta. |
| Better logging to try to understand catalog-write-access contention under Lightroom's hood. |
| Apparently, a recent change broke things on Lr2, which some folks apparently still use. |
Added the ability in Lr5 to export images even if the master image file is not available, so long as there's a smart preview available. |
| In some cases the add-to-new-photoset feature could create multiple sets of the same name. |
Sigh, Twitter yet again made an unannounced undocumented change to their API that immediately breaks apps that have worked for years, and doesn't even bother alerting developers after the fact. Lord knows how many developers wasted how many hours trying to debug something that should have been announced on the developer's blog. Days later, it's still not announced there. Twitter is not worse than Facebook, but seems to be trying. |
Update the endpoint for the after-export "Describe this upload" page at Flickr, to get around a redirection bug on their side. Some UI cleanup in the export dialog. |
Export could crash if a too-big-for-the-remote-service video upload was attempted. Fixed a possible plugin crash in Lr2 that might happen if the remote site's servers are failing. |
Added support for some new template tokens: FlagStatus (requires Lr or later), and for Lr3 and later, a bunch of IPTC extended metadata: AdditionalModelInfo, CodeOfOrgShown, DigImageGUID, Event, ImageSupplierImageId, MinorModelAge, ModelAge, ModelReleaseID, ModelReleaseStatus, NameOfOrgShown, PersonShown, PlusVersion, PropertyReleaseID, PropertyReleaseStatus, and SourceType. |
| Update to handle new Twitter url-length settings. |
| Update the Twitter-related code to handle their new API. Their old API goes away next month. |
Added the ability to use "automatic destinations" (the naming of target galleries based upon image metadata) in Publish. It's been in Export for years (as illustrated in this article on backing up), and you must create the destination presets from Export, but you can now access them in Publish. Added the ability to set the caption on a one-off basis by just typing it in, avoiding the need to make a preset each time. |
A lot of work on the upload data path, making it more efficient and restoring the ability to retry the attempt on certain errors. Handle a complex interaction between virtual copies and smart publish collections when deleting. |
| Add a link to the FAQ for the "missing destination cookies" error. |
| Handle deleting publish-service sets. Actually remove from sets/groups when requested to when deleting an entire publish collection or set. |
| A recent optimization for Lr4 broke support for Lr2. |
| Plugin was blocking export due to DPX-video format in some cases where Lightroom didn't allow the format to be changed. |
| Worked around the "handle in the wrong state" error shouldn't see it anymore, I hope. Seems to be some very weird interaction between Windows and Flickr. |
| Added a help dialog when encountering the mysterious 'handle in the wrong state' error. |
| Don't require the selection of a photoset when creating a new publish service, because it's okay to publish just to the photostream. |
Updates to the environment in the token (in the template tokens in my plugins) to include photoTime() and currentTime(), and other changes to match the updated docs at that link. . |
| Added the ability to create per-set publish collections in bulk from the Publish Services settings dialog. |
Flickr seems to have a hard limit of ,, total pixels (if square, about 11,×11,), returning a "Filetype not recognised" error when exceeded. The plugin now watches out for this and aborts such uploads. Handle more gracefully when the target set of a publish collection has been deleted at Flickr. Wow, it seems some people using Lr2 are still using very old versions of Lr2 that aren't up to snuff feature/bugfix wise. I don't want to support gratuitously old stuff, so I put a minimum of Lr to use the plugin. |
Fixed an error in how the plugin recreates a photoset that had been deleted at Flickr. Report in a nicer when when the preset for the image title or description is lost. |
| The control-via-keyword stuff (e.g. whether an image should be public, etc.) didn't work with non-ASCII keywords. |
Very slow uploads in Lr could cause the new progress bar stuff to blow up. Twitter support now allows suppressing "Private" geoencoded locations in Lr+ |
(See my blog post &#;Hidden Gems in Lightroom ; Hidden Gems in Lightroom Plugin Development&#; for some details on what's new in this update for Lightroom ) Substantial updates to the geolocation privacy stuff. Lr proper (the actual Lr, not the RCs) allows the plugin to know whether a photo's location has been marked as private, so the plugin can now respond to that and exclude the geoencoded location in such situations. New options have been added to export and to metadata-resend operations; they default to excluding private locations. New upload engine in Lr that greatly increases the efficiency of large uploads. In Lr and older versions, upload handling is inefficient and large uploads can crash Lightroom, but from Lr you can easily upload up to Flickr's maximums. If Flickr requires reauthentication, flush the cached credentials so that the user doesn't keep trying to authenticate with them. Update to handle the Mac App Store version of Lightroom. More updates for Flickr's new API don't try to resend a call that fails due to timeout, since that can end up reusing the call's nonce, and Flickr will reject it if the resend eventually succeeds. |
| Still working through lingering issues with the move to Flickr's new API on Lr2. I moved on from Lr2 years ago I wish everyone would. |
Tweak for LrRC2. Fixed the &#;photo too large to tweet&#; dialog message, which had been all garbled up. |
Added options to allow geo-visibility settings to not be explicitly set. |
Fixed a potential crash when processing some captions. Enhanced the send-log dialog to hopefully make reports more meaningful to me, yielding, I hope, the ability to respond more sensibly to more reports. Added to the template tokens supported by the plugin: {FullMasterFile}, {FullMasterFolder}, {FullExportedFile}, and {FullExportedFolder}. |
| More graceful handling when a caption preset has gone missing. The various export items controlled by keywording now allow for a comma-separated list of keywords (if any of the listed keywords match, the item matches.) |
| More graceful handling of videos whose pixel size is not known. |
| Handle Lightroom internal catalog write contention more gracefully. |
| Couldn't create a new set in Publish if the set name had no ASCII letters. Doh! |
| Handle better when Flickr authentication fails. Can now reauthenticate directly from publishing manager. Fix registrations in Lr2. |
| Update to the debug logging to better track down timing issues that might arise. |
| The recently-added "Lightroom doesn't handle large uploads well" check/dialog didn't play nice. Does now. |
Lots more preparation for Lr4 (but still works in Lr2 and Lr3). Lightroom's internal infrastructure doesn't handle large uploads well, and will most likely crash when trying to upload huge videos, so I've not added a warning and the ability for the user to decide when it kicks in. Files that are offline are now detected before an export/publish begins, and if there are any, offers the option to abort the export, or just skip the offline ones. This is a lot more clear than the "dng_error_file_not_found" error you get from Lightroom if you follow through with an export attempt of an offline image. |
Beefed up some internal debug logging, and fixed a crash introduced in the previous version. |
Total upheaval in the deep-down Flickr code to move to their new authentication method. Unfun. Discovered why "metadata that triggers a republish" wasn't reliable, and fixed it. More on the march toward Lr4, including upheaval in the code to handle Lightroom APIs being discontinued in Lr4. When replacing a photo, update its &#;date taken&#; time at Flickr (in case it had been changed locally). Bumped up the minimum Lr3 version to Lr, to ensure we've got those bug fixes. Lr2 and Lr4 are still supported, of course. Added the {AspectRatio} token to the token templates understood by the plugin, and added the Length=num filter. Attempt to prepare for changes Twitter has announced will take place in how they return information about server errors. |
Update for Lr4 beta: explain in the plugin manager that the plugin can't be registered in the beta. |
Removed the &#;Re-mark as Published&#; button from the plugin-extras dialog in Lr4, because Lr4 now supports this natively. Moved the Twitter code over to a new style of Twitter authentication, in hopes that it cures the authentication problems some people have been having. Moved all access of Twitter to HTTPS. Removed an obsolete reference to standardservices.com.pk from the Twitter help dialog. |
| Seem to have broke group-pool uploads in a recent build; fixed. |
Pushing out a new build after updating my build environment |
Enabled export snapshot creation in Publish. Added extra logging to try to debug slowness with remark-for-publish. |
Finally figured out why the plugin was not allowing image deletion in some smart-collection situations. Better error handling for video export, and for when images/videos exceed upload limits. Warn about the need to update the list of albums if it's not been updated for a long time. The Lightroom bug referenced in the version note for was fixed in Lr, so I've removed the special workaround processing for that version and later. |
Had issues with the registration button sometimes not showing. Updated how the Manual-association dialog is sized. |
Fix an &#;attempt to concatenate field 'user_id_string'&#; error that pops up at rare times. Added a system-clock check and reports to the user if the system clock is more than a minute out of date. An incorrect system clock can cause problems with various kinds of communication and authentication with some of my plugins, so I've just gone ahead and added this to every plugin. |
When doing a plugin upgrade, offer the ability to flush all the old copies of the plugin. Clarify some info messages about deleting photos from smart collections. |
| Make some effort to support image update on free (non-Pro) Flickr accounts, turning an &#;update&#; option into an &#;upload a new copy, delete the old copy&#; operation. Non-pro support won't go much further. |
Publish repopulation could fail with write-gate timeouts. Reporting some errors can create a huge dialog box that can be difficult to close on OSX, so this update adds a [X] button in the upper right of the dialogs. |
| Plugin would crash in some cases while trying to process Twitter-related settings. |
| Handle errors more gracefully when attempting to update online comments for photos that no longer exist. |
Added the ability to omit city/state/country as keywords when sending Lightroom keywords. Flickr has always had an inexplicable policy of extracting the city/state/country from the image and adding them to the online copy as keywords, and the plugin has long mimicked this, but if you strip these metadata fields from the exported copies, you may not want the plugin to mimic what Flickr would have done, so it's now an option. Some internal optimizations to handle large gallery sets. |
| It seems Flickr's API error codes are not consistent across all methods, so the plugin was misinterpreting the results in some error situations. |
Gave the Twitter tweet input UI some attention. Twitter automatically replaces URLs with their own urls, and the tweet-text character-counter now takes that into account, so pasting in urls of any length now &#;costs&#; a fixed amount (currently 19 characters for an HTTP url; 20 characters for an HTTPS url). The plugin no longer uses standardservices.com.pk Made it so that hitting ENTER while entering a tweet does not actually launch the export. This is a maddeningly-frustrating aspect of the Lightroom plugin infrastructure, but I've worked around it in a way that seems to work. |
Updates the yesterday's changes to that Lr2 works as well. |
Added the ability to include a photo when issuing a tweet via Twitter. Fixed a problem when fetching comments. Fixed &#;attempt to compare nil with number&#; error that some users might have gotten in Publish. |
| The upload-destination list was getting cut off again. |
| The 'refresh list' button was missing from the upload-destination list when it was configured to be a popup menu. |
| More on the &#;Missing destination cookies&#; bug |
| Had a minor plugin-crashing boo-boo in the previous update |
| Really long captions could cause a stack overflow. More on the &#;Missing destination cookies&#; bug. |
| Trying to debug the mysterious &#;Missing destination cookies&#; bug |
| Fix the &#;Export&#; error some have gotten. |
The manual-association dialog was too big for some screens now it auto-adjusts depending on the screen size. |
| For Lr3, tries to address a similar catalog-access errors that seem to have started popping up in some cases. |
| For Lr2, fixes a 'must be called inside withReadAccessDo' error I'd recently introduced. |
There's a bug in Lightroom that causes it to sometimes include private keywords in exported copies. The plugin now detects these situations and alerts you to them, allowing you to avoid a privacy blunder. |
Export presets, when selected in the Export Dialog, didn't handle switching the Flickr account properly if indeed the export preset was for a different user. It should work now, but Lightroom's plugin infrastructure makes this a very fragile operation, so keep your fingers crossed. More robust publish service stuff. Lightroom's infrastructure is full of bugs in the Publish Service area, but I think I've worked around yet another one that pops up from time to time. |
The &#;do not explicitly send keywords from Lightroom's catalog&#; option was not being honored in Publish. Large group-pool names could cause problems with the group-pool section of the export dialog. Fixed the &#;Flickr &#; error some users were getting. |
Better handle long set/group names by truncating at the beginning with '', and having the tooltip be the full name. Try to squeeze the Sync dialog a bit for smaller screens. |
Fixing some problems with Lr2 that the comment-refresh thing the other caused. |
Fixed a bug that caused the export destination to not properly refresh in response to selecting a preset in the export dialog. |
Added a new section to the Publish Service settings dialog, on whether to refresh remote comments (at Flickr back into Lightroom) automatically or only manually. Be more robust to errors during the gallery-creation process. |
| Fixed a bug in how some export errors are reported |
| Wasn't properly issuing an error message when used with Lr and Lr |
Added the ability to select which metadata items cause a Publish republish. Fixed some plugin-crash asserts that some new users might get. |
| The list of upload destinations was sometimes getting cut off. |
| Added a new dialog (via a button in the Publishing Manager) to sync set/group membership between the Publish Service and Flickr, for photos already in the Publish Service. You can use this, for example, to auto-create publish-service collections for all the sets and/or groups the photos belong to at Flickr. It's exceedingly complex under the hood, so I'll label this &#;beta&# a catalog backup is suggested before giving it a try. |
| Added a progress dialog to the &#;Re-mark as Published&#; operation, so that it can be canceled, and to make it clear that something is going on under the hood. |
Giving a try to a manual option to associate images already at Flickr with catalog photos. See &#;Associate Images Manually&#; in the Plugin-Extras dialog (&#;File > Plugin Extras > Flickr Extras&#;). |
Added &#;Re-Mark as Published&#; to the Plugin-Extras dialog (&#;File > Plugin Extras > Flickr Extras&#;). If you have published photos in the &#;Modified Photos to Re-Publish&#; grid segment, this moves them back to &#;Published Photos&#; without actually uploading anything to Flickr. You might use this after making what you know to be a metadata-only change that won't affect how the image is shown at Flickr. If applied to published photos selected via their presence in a sub collection, it also re-marks the version in the base photostream as published. Fixed a problem such that long album names caused buttons to become inaccessible in the export dialog. Not sure what happened to the export dialog since I last checked it in Windows, but it was in need of some UI love. |
| The &#;Import from Adobe's Flickr plugin&#; would die if some photos added to that plugin's collections had not yet been published. |
This version no longer works in Lr and Lr because many bugs have been fixed in Lr if you're using Lr or Lr, please visit Lightroom's &#;Help > Check for Updates&#; to download the free update from Adobe. (The plugin also continues to work in Lr2.) One of the bug fixes in Lr allows me to correct a problem when editing a Flickr Publish smart collection. It used to be that you couldn't save it if you only made changes to the smart-collection rules, but now you can. |
| Updated Twitter support for Twitter's new API endpoints |
| Fixed a crash sometimes encountered while updating remote-account data in the plugin. |
| Slowly getting back into the swing of things after September's arm pain and other issues added the ability to create a set on the fly in Publish (it's been in Export for years, but was much more of a challenge in Publish). Fixed some errors that would pop up when deleting the last image from a set. Other cleanup. |
Fixes &#;Spec attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)&#; error some were getting. |
First update in a while due to my arm-pain issues Holy cow, I finally realized that Flickr has conflicting exactly-incompatible ways to specify inclusion or exclusion from public-image search, depending on what API call you're using. It's such a completely-stupid haphazard design that it never even occurred to me that a company as clueful as Flickr would let something like this slip through. I'll add a note of warning here for other Flickr developers: setting &#;&#; to &#;1&#; during a photo upload marks the photo as explicitly unhidden form public searches, but setting the same value to the same parameter in standardservices.com.pketyLevel |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I upgrade from the Mac App Store version of Clipstart to the direct download version? &#; Version is a free upgrade, but it's only available as a direct download linked above. After downloading it and replacing your version from the Mac App Store, if it prompts you for registration, please fill out this form to get a new serial number.
Do I need a Flickr Pro or Vimeo Plus account? &#; No, but it is recommended. Flickr will only allow 2 movie uploads per month for basic accounts. Vimeo has fewer restrictions, but places bandwidth limits on basic accounts and offers prioritized conversion and more HD for paid users. In either case, by upgrading to a paid Flickr or Vimeo account you are supporting the services that Clipstart depends on for sharing movies.
Why can't Flickr process my iPhone 3GS videos? &#; There appears to be a problem with Flickr recognizing some 3GS videos, even uploaded from the Flickr web site. Flickr is aware of the issue. Using Clipstart's "Convert with Options" command from the Videos menu and checking "Convert to H" usually fixes the problem.
What about Viddler or standardservices.com.pk? &#; The plan is to add support for more video sites in future versions of Clipstart. Please email support so that I can prioritize the services you want.
Where can I get help with Flickr video? &#; The Flickr web site's video help page is a great starting place, and includes information on bandwidth limits and supported movie types. If Flickr does not recognize one of your movies, try having Clipstart convert to H before it uploads (choose Convert with Options under the Movie menu).
How do I stop the FlipShare application from starting when I connect the Flip? &#; Choose Preferences from the FlipShare menu and uncheck "Start FlipShare when camcorder inserted".
Can I upload in HD? &#; Yes, Clipstart can play, trim, and upload HD videos, new in version See the application help for details. Vimeo will allow 1 upload per week, or unlimited uploads for Vimeo Plus.
Should I use Clipstart for managing my feature-length movie collection? &#; Probably not. Clipstart is designed for home movies that you shoot yourself or other short videos.
