How can I Add a photo to a catalog from inside another catalog

I have a number of large catalogs with a small subset of pictures that have been edited and printed. I'd like to be able to have just a catalog of printed images so i can easily find them, reprint them, edit them etc. but not move them from their original catalog or original location. Is there an easy way i can do this. I know i can export the image as a catalog and then import the images to another catalog. But that requires opening and closing 3 catalogs. Is there just an add file to catalog and then a list of my catalogs would show up?

Hi Howie,
I also would approach this topic by analyzing "why did you use multiple catalogs" in the past? What functionality exactly did you want to get with that?
Then ask/search what other means/features could fulfill the same need. As some others in this post I am confident that there are sufficient.
Sometimes I think the term "catalog" was not chosen very wisely over a term "database", because people might tend to think of paper catalogs of the analogous world. Then e.g. such a *catalog* per customer makes sense.
Once you understand that 1 catalog defines the (convenient) boundaries of your pictures' universe you might choose a different approach...
The term "database" might have scared away too may non-IT-savvy users for the taste of marketing department.
Having more than 1 catalog only makes sense to me if you have more than 1 computer to look at your pictures' universe. Even then you should carefully decide which one is master and which one more or less for just looking at or special needs.

    If you mean from photo stream, open your photo stream album on your phone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

    I am making a book in Aperture 3.  I want to change some of the pages that I have put together, and want to remove some of the photos from some of the pages, to put them on another page.  How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

    As a follow-up, I have found that clicking on the photo in the book also highlights the photo on the strip below.  So, if you then hit delete, you will delete the photo from both the book page and the album (which is the book, the way I have it set up).  If you only want to delete it from the book page, you then have to un-click the photo on the strip below, or both will be deleted.  This seems unwieldy.  I deleted 6 photos from a page and found all of them gone from the album.  The only way that I can see to keep them in the album is to then unselect them from the bottom strip after selecting them fro the page.  This seems to call for an extra step.

    Someone stole my iPhone I have find my iPhone app but it's not working how can I add my iPhone to d app from my iPad???

    Having the app is irrelevant.
    The ONLY thing that matters is whether "Find My iPhone" was enabled on the missing device before it was lost/stolen.  If it was not enabled, there is nothing that can be done.

  • How can I add new photos to a saved photobook?

    I've started a photobook and saved it. All the pictures that were in the filmstrip but not placed in pages in the book are gone from the project. How can I add them back?

    Graham, switch to Grid view and drag the new photos to the book collection, which you'll find in the Collections panel.  Then flip back to the Book module and you'll find the photos sat there in the Filmstrip waiting to be added to the book design.

  • How can I add my photo after setting up family share

    I Set family share as organizer and did not add a picture can i now add my picture.

    Hello there, bryan1953.
    The photo used by Family Sharing is based on your Contact card in Contacts. The following Knowledge Base article walks through how to add a photo:
    Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
    Add or change a picture
    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.

  • How can i add multiple photos to an imovie at once from my ipad?

    I am trying to create an imovie of photos that I have stored on my ipad using my ipad. It is only letting me add one photo at a time which is taking way too long. Is there a way to add multiple photos at once? Also, can I apply changes (like removing the Ken Burns effect all at once from all of the pictures? Hopefully I dont have to do it one at a time or it will take waay too long!
    thanks

  • (How) can I add a photo from Finder to an iCloud photo stream?

    I'm a new Mac user and a little confused. From a Windows PC it is very simple to add a photo to an iCloud photo stream, taken that you have the iCloud plug-in installed. Just right-click a photo and select "Add to photo stream...". On my iMac, on the other hand, I have not yet figured out how or if it's even possible at all.
    I'm sure you know, please tell me and you will make my day :-)

    Drag the photo onto the iPhoto icon to import it, then drag it to the iCloud heading in the sidebar.

  • How can I add sites to my 'Reading List' from the desktop version?

    Kindle has this add-on to Firefox desktop version called 'Send to Kindle', where I simply hit Ctrl+K and then I would have the current webpage stored on my Kindle. Very handy when I am commuting to work without connectivity.
    How can I achieve this with my tablet and Firefox for Android's Reading List feature?

    We don't have this feature at the moment. We may add it as part of the New Sync that we are working on.
