How do you save changes made in iPhoto, and export the changed file.  It keeps reverting back to the original.

How do you save changes made in iPhote, and export the changed picture file? When I select export, current format, it reverts to the original, wiping out all my work.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

    Even browsers for Tiger 10.4 will get the update message.

  • TS3999 How do you get info entered into iCal and Contacts on an equipped iPhone to push back to an equipped MacPro? so far it's only a one way street Macpro to phone, and that's not what I was told it would be.

    Hi, all.
    How do you get information entered into iCal and Contacts on an equipped iPhone to push to an equipped MacPro? So far it's been a one way street Macpro to phone, and that's not what I was told it would be. I've been through all settings on both devices and see no way to do this. Help! If I synch the old fashioned way, what's going to happen?

    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • How do I save my edits in iPhoto and/or Aperture?

    I have edited an image in iPhoto and again in Aperture and can't find either. The original remains. I can find no "Save" option and assumed that it was automatic. If so, where does it go? Is there a "save as" option?

    I can find no "Save" option and assumed that it was automatic. If so, where does it go? Is there a "save as" option?
    Yes, Aperture and iPhoto will save the edited Version.
    In Aperture the edited version will replace the previously edited version, unless you set the option "Create new versions when making adjustments" in the Aperture Preferences Advanced panel.
    So the image you are seeing in iPhoto or Aperture will be your edited image.
    Were you expecting to find an edited version outside the Aperture library in the Finder? If you want that, use the command "File > Export" to save an edited version of your image to a folder on the Desktop. Aperture does not actually create edited image file, unless you export a version.

  • My Wish - Change title in iPhoto and it will change filename in Finder

    I wish that if I change a title in iPhoto that it will change the filename in the Finder as well.
    I know I can export photos to the desktop with "name>use title" checked and reimport them, but that seems like a lot of work. And what if I change my mind about the title? I have to do it again.
    I really wish I had properly named my photos before importing them, but it's too late now.
    Oh well, if wishes were horses...

    Do you have any backups? If you do you, try Old Toad's advice:
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • How to merge adjustment layers to several layers and export layers to files

    Hi!
    I have now exactly the same problem as below with over 1000 images, I have saved them in .psd that has over 100 layers each. On top of those there is curves and levels layer that affects every layer below. I want to save all images to .jpg for videoedit with those curves at least. I don't want to merge same curves 100 times. Is there a solution in phothoshop cs5 or cs6 available? Would save alot of working hours. All I have got by this far is blank white images of adjustment layers and non adjusted jpg-files.
    This discussion was opened in 2010 and I quess this is same problem:
    How to merge adjustment layers to hundreds of layers?
    Jul 28, 2010 10:38 AM
    Say I have a photoshop File with 100 layers.  And say I created 3 adjustment layers on top of those 100 layers to get the adjustments that i want for those layers.   I'm happy with the adjustments but Then I NEED to merge those 3 adjustment layers to ALL those 100 layers.   Is there a way to easily permanently apply the adjustments to each of those layers without having to do it manually?     I absolutely need to merge the adjustments to the seperate layers because of how the layers are being used in a seperate 3d program.   
    So far what I've been doing is duplicating the adjustment layers for each layer and merging them to said layers separately.. Anyone have a better way? I wish I could just right click the adjustment layer and Tell it to merge to everylayer it affects  or apply to every layer underneath it!
    Anyone?
    Thanks!
    Thanks alot if u solve this!

  • How can you save data to a spreadsheet and use different worksheets in the spreadsheet?

    I am trying to save data to a spreadsheet.
    Each set of test data needs to be saved under a different worksheet. Is this possible and how can I do it?

    As the example that Dennis pointed out, this can be done using activeX. In addition to that example I have another that demonstrates how to create a new workbook with multiple worksheets and save data to each of them. I hope that between the two you can get an idea of what to do.

  • How do you save characters in an array and then output the characters as a string one by one.

    I want to know how to save a number of different characters to an array. then after open this array and read these values one by one as a string.

    Input to your loop has indexing enabled.  What happens is that on the first iteration, the indicator displays the first string in the array, then in the next iteration, the indicator displays the second string in the array, the first one is overwritten.  This happens so fast that all you see is the second one.  Look at attached vi in LV6.1 to see how to concatenate both into one indicator.  You really need to study Labview to learn the functions.  Go to NI's website and search for Labview tutorials.

  • What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting

    What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting a Video as a Quicktime File

    Save As places the file inside a .mov container. No re-encoding.
    Your still have the option to save this file as "self-contained" (all the parts travel with the file) or "reference" (small file sized movie that merely "points" to the movie parts).
    A reference movie can't play if the source files can't be found. If they are moved or deleted the reference movie will fail and it can't be re-created.
    Exporting is done to convert one QuickTime format to another. Typically you do this with a high quality source file. Exporting previously compressed files is a bad idea that leads to unpredictable results.
    QuickTime doesn't open WMP formats without third party software help (Flip4Mac is one). You can't convert (export) WMP formats without paying extra fees to upgrade their software.

  • Where does iPhoto save imported files????  how do you "save"?

    ok this is driving me crazy:
    I've imported photos and movie clips from my camera through usb through iPhoto.
    Where does iPhoto save these files?
    I've opened iMovie to find the movie clip and I can't find it anywhere...
    also: after editing a photo in iMovie, how do you "save" it?

    Chris
    You’ve a bit of a learning curve ahead of you as you obviously haven’t really understood iPhoto, what it is and how it works. You could do yourself a favour and have a look at the tutorials at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto
    To specific cases:
    When you press "done" it doesn't save it (find the photo in its original file and open it with Preview, you'll see it hasn't been saved).
    Yes, but it has! You see iPhoto will always preserve your Original file. So when you make edits it carries out these on copy of the file. You can see this in the iPhoto Window. There is no way to make iPhoto edit the original file.
    I have opted for iPhoto not to duplicate my photos and keep its own library (to me that doesn't make any sense, my photos are about 15GB, I wouldn't want them to turn into 30GB for no reason!),
    1. The best solution for that it to allow iPhoto to copy the files into the Library and then remove your own copies.
    2. When you go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import', you are running what is called a Referenced Library. In a Referenced Library iPhoto will not copy the files on import, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this
    it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file.
    It will still create a thumbnail and,
    if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity 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.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    so the problem still exists, why doesn't it save new photos in my pictures folder?
    Because you told it not to. When you run a Referenced Library +you are responsible for File Management+. Remember that bit above where I said
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    You need to put the files where you want them, then import them to iPhoto. Iphoto has no control over any file outside the Library Package. So when it comes to deleting things you’ll need to remove the pics from iPhoto and then go and root them out from your folder structure by hand.
    None of this is the case if you run a Managed Library.
    or ask me where to save them?
    Because that’s not what it does. Check out Image Capture for that.
    I'm worried that if I now let it save all my new photos to its iPhoto library (which is basically a virtual library as I understand it)
    What do you mean by a “virtual library”?
    and in a year's time I change laptops I run the risk of loosing photos as I won't know which photos are were (now I can do a back up to an external drive simply by copying the folders I choose from the pictures folder.
    If you run a Managed Library then backing up and migrating are both very simple. You simply back up the iPhoto Library or move it as the case may be. There are many, many back up utilities that will do incremental back ups if the Library: Time Machine, DejaVu Chronosync are several but there are a hundred more. Search on MacUpdate.
    If you run a Referenced Library you must +back up the Originals and the iPhoto Library+ (to get your Albums, Modified Versions and so on). Migrating rto a new machine is a bear too, as you cannot allow the path to the files to alter. (See my pitfall no. 3 above.
    Worst of all: a mixed Managed/Referenced Library: a recipe for data loss.
    My strongest advice to you is to start over with iPhoto. Create a new Library: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and import 100 pics into it and explore it for a week or two. Get to know the ins and outs a bit and se how it works. Then decide if it’s the right app for you. By all means post back if you need more info.

  • How do you save a picture from email to the iPhoto?

    How do you save a picture from email to the iPhoto?

    Click and hold on the Save button, and a menu appears, listing each attached file’s name along with a Save As button. Select any individual file, and you’ll save just that attachment to disk. But the really nice feature is the final menu item—Add to iPhoto. That’s right; with one button click-and-hold, you can add all of a message’s attached images to iPhoto.

  • How do you save from Photoshop back to iPhoto?

    How do you save your external edits from Photoshop back to iPhoto?
    Fine, I know how it can be done ONCE : you simply flatten the image and then hit Save, and you see your edited image in iPhoto.
    But, what if you FIRST want to save the .psd document complete with layers outside iPhoto, THEN flatten the image and save as a jpeg back to iPhoto? I tried this yesterday. I saved as a PSD file - with all layers and a new name - to my Pictures folder. Then I flattened the image and wanted to save it to iPhoto, but the temporary iPhoto location had disappeared from the Photoshop Save dialogue and Photoshop now displayed it under the new name.
    This is annoying : you've got to save the PSD document first in order to preserve the layers. But when you do this, you lose the ability to save the image a second time, all layers flattened, back to iPhoto.

    But if I'd flattened the psd without saving it as a psd, I could simply have saved it back to iPhoto (I've done that before).
    Hold on - perhaps that's the answer...
    What if..
    1. I flatten the image and Save it back to iPhoto, then ...
    2. Undo the 'flatten image' in Photoshop, then save THAT version as a psd?
    I'll try this and let you know if it works.
    ETA - Yay it works! Shoulda thought of that right off. I blame toothache
