Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto to the "pictures" file?

Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto into the Pictures file? I just purchased a digital camera and the software is only available for photos in the pictures file. Thanks.

What camera and software is it and why do you want to use it instead of iPhoto? Is this software that came with the camera?  You don't need to use it as iPhoto is all you need. That software is not compatible with iPhoto so you would have to abandon iPhoto if you want to use the camera's software.

  • HT201317 How do I move photos from iPhoto to the iCloud?

    I just want to get some pictures off of my laptop and I want to ensure that they are in a safe space.  iCloud is different than Photo Stream right?  Is there a way to just store the photos in iCloud?  I don't want to lose the photos in 30 days, if I put them in Photo Stream.
    Thank you!

    iCloud can not do what you want.
    Try a service like DropBox
    You can get 2GB of free storage with the option to purchase more. Your photos will be stored in the cloud and will be available to your internet connected devices.

    how do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    Specifically from?
    You export them: File -> Export
    This User Tip

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Or if you want to, you can keep the images in iPhoto and move the Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    It is better to export (file menu ==> export) since when you export you control exactly what you get - see the user tip on exporting for details
    When you drag and drop you get the current preview with limited Metadata

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to new PC or Mac?

    We are in the market for a new computer.  I want a Mac (of course!) but my husband and our budget are more comfortable with a PC.  My question is how do we move photos from our old Mac to a new comp?  Can it be done via a network?  I assume it is easier from Mac to Mac.  We do not have an external hard drive and our old comp is very outdated.  The version of iPhoto used is 6.0.6 and OS is OS X, 10.4.11.  We cannot do any further updating to either the application or OS.  We do have both an iPod and iPad but neither can even be synced with this current computer!  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    For a PC select all photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder. Move that folder to the PC
    For a Mac copy the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new Mac
    The connection can be a network, a cable or even an external hard drive you move to the new system or a DVD if it will hold everything

  • I am trying to move a "face" photo from IPhoto to the picture well in a contact in my "Contacts".  Can't drag directly from iPhoto to picture well.  How do I do it?

    I am tring to move a "face" photo from IPhote to the picture well in a contact from my "Contacts list". I followed directions in Help but Cannot double click the picture well then drag a photo.  It won't accept it directly from IPhoto. Once you double click on the picture well then click on the photo (in another application-IPhoto) it apparently negates the double click on the picture well.   The only place it will take a picture from is the "recents" that you get when you double click on the picture well in contacts.  How do I get the photo to the "recents" or to the picture well?

    Hi cavu10horses,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
    Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
    Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
    Select a picture:
    Drag an image to the picture well.
    Click Camera to take a picture.
    If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
    If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
    Click Edit to edit the picture.
    To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
    To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
    To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
    Click Done.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Can I move photos from iPhoto on the mac to my iPhone?

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to Pinterest?

    I have just downloaded the latest iPhoto. I work a lot with Pinterest, and it would be helpful to be able to move (pin) photos from iPhoto to Pinterest. Since I'm a green horn at this, I'd appreciate a simplistic answer. I thank you!

    If you're referring to iPhoto on your iMac then you would export the photos out of iPhoto via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export to a folder on the Desktop.  Then upload to Pineterest as you would normally outside of iPhoto.

  • How can I move photos from iphoto to external hard drive?

    My internal is full and I'm getting those messages to clean up the drive.  I've determined that my photos need to leave!  Can I move photos from my Air to the hard drive external and still view them?
    Thanks

    Make sure the external drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and is connected with a wired connection, quit iPhoto, drag the iPhoto library to the EHD intact as a single entity and launch iPhoto while depressing to option key. Use the resulting select library window to select the new location. Be sure the EHD is available prior to launching iPhoto

  • How do I import photos from iPhoto into the iMovie Events window? I want to use photos in my iMovie trailer program

    i want to use some of my photos from iPhoto library in the iMovie Trailer program - it won't let me import them. I tired to sneak them into the Events library but can't seem to be able to do that either when using the imovie trailer feature, I have to open up a different project to be able to import photos, but only able to drop them directly into a project, not the events folder -- I can't get photos into the event folder.

    You cannot add photos to a trailer.
    The solution is to get as far as you can in the Trailer withou adding the photos. Then, select the trailer in the Project Library List, and click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT. Now it is an iMovie Project, and you can do anything that iMovie can do, including add photos wherever you want.

  • Moving Photos from IPhoto to the Picture Library

    I'm a heavy IPhoto user and have over 9000 photos in it. The main reason I moved to IPhoto8 was its greater capacity. But I now find that IPhoto runs much more slowly and I constantly need to close IPhoto and start again. Before I add the thousand or so photos from our recent travels, I would like to move some of these photos out of IPhoto into my Photo Library on my Imac. Is this the best way to free up capacity? If so, how do I do it? I'd also appreciate any other hints on managing IPhoto capacity. Would adding extra RAM make a real difference? (I already have 1GB of Memory on my Imac.) Apologies if these are obvious questions.......

    Essentially, I'm trying to find a way to avoid having IPhoto slow to the point of stopping while I'm working on my photos. When this happens, I close IPhoto and start again. This works fine, until the program slows and stops the next time.
    The problem has only arisen since I have had between 8000-9000 photos on IPhoto8 (Initially I used the previous version and upgraded to IPhoto 8 to gain additional capacity). Most photos have been adjusted (exposure, cropping enhanced etc) and I've usually added titles and other details. I was surprised when this problem occurred, as I knew that capacity shouldn't be a problem with IPhoto8.
    I have only used about half my available disk space, so that isn't the problem. This is why I thought of increasing the RAM.
    Can I delete photos from IPhotos and retain them in the Picture Library? In the short term, this seems to be a possible "work around".
    Any other suggestions?
