First off it would be good to learn how to use iPhoto - editing is one of the most basic operations - what version of iPhoto do you have? Have you watched the videos and looked in Help?
In general you select the photo can click edit - to straighten you use the "Straighten tool" - to remove areas around the photo you use the "crop tool"

  • How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )

    How to delet edited folder? (iOS iPhoto )
    Who can teach me? Thanks a lot.

    The edited photo album is where the recipes for the edits you made are stored. The Edited folder is created and removed automatically by iPhoto for iOS. It will disappear when there are no edited photos.
    If you want to remove the edited photos go to each photo and select revert to Original. That will delete the edited version. Once all edited photos have been Reversted to their original version, the Edited Photos album will disappear.
    Of course the next time you edit a photo the album will return.
    Note that the Edited Photos album only shows in iPhoto for iOS. It does not appear in the Photos app.

    Souvent eu ce problème,
    Je cree un dossier sur le bureau et glisse les photos à partir d'Iphoto dans ce dossier. Ce geste a pour effet de creer des copies dans le dossier.
    Il ne reste plus qu'à selectionner ces photos pour les envoyer en pièces jointes.

  • Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport.  Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru.  How do I avoid this?

    Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport.  Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru.  How do I avoid this?

    Don't do that - flag the photo and go to the target event and use the add flagged photo to selected event command to move it intact within iPhoto

  • I select photo from iPhoto,go to share:email, photo uploaded to email, type in address, click send, pop up window appears with: email did not go thru because server did not reply - now what, how do I fix?

       I select my photos from iPhoto, go to toolbar, click share and email, photo is uploaded onto email screen and I add photo info and type  in my
    email address, click send at the bottom of page and it after a minute or two, a pop up appears with the message:  your email did not go through
    because your server did not reply.    Have sent the same photo to my email address with no problem just to  doublecheck.  Why will it not
    send out to other email addresses?  Thank you.

    Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there.  Now add it back and try again.
    A more reliable method is to set Mail as the email Client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane.  The Mail client is more reliable, gives you better access to your Contacts, gives you a sent copy and has photo themes similar to iPhoto's in its stationary section.

  • I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files.   What am I missing here?

    I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files when both are present on the SD card.  JPGs are used for quick proofing on an iPad.    DNG RAW files are edited on a Mac Pro (2013).    Other than deleting the JPGs before importing images from the SD card,  is there any way to force Photo to select and import only the DNG images?

    Thanks Larry,
    I did see the J stacked in the lower left of the thumbnails but couldn't figure out how to get to whatever is below it.   How do you select R?  
    I use an iPad to do quick proofs of my images.   A JPG is good enough for a proof ( dust on the lens,  composition, blown out image, etc. ).   The iPad is JPG friendly and can load the images quickly.    Serious editing takes place on my Mac Pro with the DNG files.   I use the same workflow with the the Leica M 240.   iPhoto has been a quick and easy importer to the Mac capturing all of the metadata in the EXIF sidecar file ( location, date, time,  camera settings, lens type).  A quick scan in iPhoto for the "keepers" let's me export those worth editing to Lightroom/Bridge/Photoshop.  I typically shoot 50 images from three locations in a normal day.  If I'm lucky I'll get 1 worth real work to add to the portfolio.  

  • I recently opened my photos with iphoto after uploading my old photos from my PC to finder.  Now that I have my photos in iphoto, is it ok to delete the albums of photos I have in finder?

    I had a problem importing my photos to iphoto when i first started using my mac, so instead I just saved all my pictures in finder.  Now that I have all my photos in iphoto, I'm not sure if its ok to delete the photos i originally uploaded to finder.

    Assuming that you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) then yes - everything imported is in iPhoto and the source photo can be deleted

    How can I empty my trash email. There is no delete or delete all option after the emails are highlighted from the edit option. This is on an i phone 4 running on ios 7.1.2

    I have 7 email accounts on my phone. If I tap EDIT while viewing the Trash folder in any of them I see "Mark All" on the left and "Delete All" on the right. If you tap any message, however, the legends go away.

  • I sent e-mail photos from iPhoto using my @me account but I do not find the history of sent e-mails in my new iCloud account. Where can I find the history of sent e-mails?

    Using iPhoto as the email client in iPhoto does not creatge a sent copy.  iPhoto indicates in the Info drawer if a photo was emailed by iPhoto (under the Sharing section):
    There's no easy way to search for photos that have been emailed. Each photo has to be inspected via the Info tray.
    One could add a keyword to emailed photos which would let a smart album keep track of those photos.
    A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client (in iPhoto's General preference pane) and use it.  That will give you an sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if you want a theme, numerous photo themes under the Stationary section of Mail.

    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

  • How do I put photos in an album and remove them from the camera roll?

    I would like to be able to move photos into an album and remove them from the camera roll. Is this possible?
    I take many photos of mundane things that I simply want to remember, such as serial number of products. I would like to save these photos for viewing, but I don't want them to appear in my camera roll, where I have to continuously scroll through many such photos to get to the ones that I want to view there.
    I know that Apple has a "hide" feature, but it doesn't actually do anything. When I press-and-hold on individual photos, the photos stay in the camera roll: they aren't hidden at all. It's not clear what the purpose of this function is at all.

    You don't do this, as the photos are in the camera roll.  That is where they live.  When you make an album you are simply making a list of pointer to your photos in camera roll.
    If you remove them from the camera roll, then they are gone. 
    Photos in albums are not in two places.  They are in only one place, the camera roll.  The album merely contains pointers to those pics, so that you can categorize them however you like.
    You should be importing these pics to your computer.  I find it far easier to organize my photos on my computer, then sync them to the iPhone.

    Hi ewhuntley,
    It sounds like you may be running Acrobat 11.0.07, is that correct? If so, please choose Edit > Preferences > General. In the entry Scale for Screen Resolution, choose 100%. Save your changes, and restart Acrobat. Did that do the trick?
    Best,
