How can I "Copy" the description from iPhotos?

I am trying to get descriptions from iPhoto files into Family Tree Maker Mac2.  It seems that FTM doesn't import that info with the .jpg file, but that is a separate issue.  When I try to Copy the Description from the Info for a photo, I get strange results when I then try to Paste it, even into Text Edit to just check what I got.
I can edit that info in iPhoto, and in fact Copy and Paste it into the Description for other iPhotos, but I can't seem to get the info out.  What am I doing wrong?

How do you transfer your iPhoto images from iPhoto to Family Tree Maker?
When you export your jpegs from iPhoto with "File > Export" the description is added in a readable form - you can see that when you inspect your exported image with "File > Get Info" in the Finder. You can copy the description from the "description" field in the "More Info" brick of the "Info" panel.
Inspecting the image with Graphic Converter shows, that the "description" tag is added to the XMP description in XML-format,
       <dc:description>
            <rdf:Alt>
               <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">Solar Eclipse&#xA;</rdf:li>
            </rdf:Alt>
         </dc:description>
Is that, what you see in Family Tree?
Then you should perhaps use the "get Info" panel to copy your "descriptions" or copy them directly from the iPhoto window.

  • How can I copy a picture from Iphoto to a text document?  Currently when I drag and drop the picture is truncated.

    hello Apple community.
    How can I copy a picure from Iphoto to a blank text document(not Word, but text doc)? Currently when I do this, the picture is truncated. This is more difficult than using a PC! there has to be a better way to copy pictures or share pictures!
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    thank you for your reply.
    I am using the TextEdit on Mac as I do not have Word. When I paste an Iphoto, the picture is truncated horizontially, so you only see part of the picture.
    Yes, the picture is small enough to fit on the page.

  • How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want?

    How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want??

    To ensure a custom ordering, sort the files in an album and rename the files with a sequentially numbered filename.
    File > Export > Version/Originals
    Then use "Filename > Sequential"
    or "Filename > Album name with index"

    I don't think you need Preview.
    Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.

  • How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

    Contacts has a space for a photo.  At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
    How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?

  • The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?

    The computer that I used to sync my Ipad with crashed.  How can I copy the pictures from my Ipad to my new computer?  When I try to use Picassa to import them I can only see the 'Camera Roll; folder but I have several other folders with hundreds of pictures in them

    To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • How can I copy the layer from one .PSD file to another .PSD file?

    Hi,
    Actually it is shape and mask on one layer which I want to use it on my Photoshop CS4 file. If I select all the layer and copy it to my file it just copies the shape but not the mask. How can I copy MASK to my file?
    Please do hlep.
    Actually I am trying to copy the following layer.

    I believe the fastest way would be to duplicate the layer and send it to the other document. Open both images. Click the document tab of the document with the shape layer. With the shape layer selected in the layers palette, right click where it says the shape layer name. Select "duplicate layer" from the context menu. In the dialog that comes up, select the document you want to copy that layer to in the destination box then press ok.
    Alternately, you can open both images then pull the document frame tabs down to open both images in your workspace. Grab the shape layer in the document's layers palette by left clicking it...keep the left button pressed (hand icon should be a grab icon). While left button is still pressed, drag the shape layer over the receiving document. To make the shape layer register in the same location, press the shift key and keep it pressed. Release left mouse button while the layer is over the receiving document. Release shift key after you have released the left mouse button.
    This tutorial has a good photo reference for what I mean when I say pull the image tabs down so both documents appear in the same workspace...also shows drag/drop:

  • How can I copy the SMS from my Nokia 6303 to a Sam...

    Hello everybody!
    I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini...and I find such a pity to lose all the SMS that I had in my Nokia 6303. The new phone is sim-locked so unfortunately I cannot copy the SMS that way.
    Does anyone know if there is a possibility to move the SMS from one phone to the other?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Cheerio

    Hi, olgadapolga. For the SMS that you do not want to lose, you can create a backup on your PC using this link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-ph/mobile/support/nokia-suite-compatibility/. Note that this link will work regardless of your location. About transferring SMS to another phone, see if there's an option on your Nokia 6303 to create a backup on an SD card. If so, you can proceed with backing up your SMS. Try inserting the SD card in your other phone and check for restoring option. However, if restore is not available there is a possibility that the other phone doesn't support the backed up messages file format. For added assistance, feel free to post it here.

  • How can I copy selected photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my iPhone 6?

    I used to have many photos on my iPhone 6. I also have thousands of photos on my iMac. After iDrive became available I decided to try it, and uploaded my large photos library to my iPhone and iPad. After using it for awhile I decided against keeping all these photos on my other devices. I removed everything from iDrive and my IOS devices. Now I'd like to find a way to restore some of my photos to IOS devices.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to do that.
    Thanks

    Put the photos you want to upload to your iPhone in an album in iPhoto.  Connect the iPhone to the Mac and launch iTunes. 
    Click on your iPhone icon
    and then on Photos
    Next check Sync Photos and Selected albums.  Find the album with the photos you want to upload and select it. 
    Lastly click on the Sync button.

  • How can I copy the QRCode from the addressbar to the clipboard?

    I want to paste it into a graphics program or save it to an image file.
    (I know I can make a screenshot with the printscreen key; but I would like to get just the code, and not having to remove everything else from the image by hand first.)

    I'm afraid you can't do that. There is no context menu available on the QRCode shown as tooltip on the icon in the address bar!
    (I know how do save the QRCodes as images produced for links on a page, but that's not what I need.)
