When I move photos from iPhoto library into a desktop folder, I often am unable to view more than the one I dragged. The rest remain 'stacked'

Can anyone help. I cannot reliably move multiple photos from within the iPhoto library to a desktop folder without them remaining stacked and inaccessible. Sometimes I can manually drag the photos, one by one, off the stack and arrange inside the folder. At other times, the photos remain stacked and cannot be separated???
I have no problems highlighting a group of photos and moving them as a 'stack'.
Help?

Select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder

How do I move photos from iPhoto Library to Finder?

When I got my Mac I wasn't sure how to transfer photos from my PC. I made the mistake of importing about 1/2 of them, abt. 19,000 into iPhoto.
I prefer to use Photoshop Elements and a hierarchical file system, ie. Pictures>Critters>wild birds>owls>Great Grey etc. None of iPhoto's little tricks like facial recognition are useful to me.
Can I just go into the iPhoto Library package and drag the Masters folder into my Pictures folder, then uninstall iPhoto?

You can use Photoshop and the external editor from within iPhoto for seamless editing with PS. Just note the warnings in red in Step 3. Othere than that you have the best of both worlds.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
However, it may be that iPhoto is not the application for you.

How do I move pictures from iphoto library to my desktop so I can these use them to sell on ebay?

I recently moved pictures from my ipad to my iphoto library on my Macbook Pro computer. I want to now use these photos to sell on EBay. What are the steps I need to do to move these from one place to the other. This needs to be in laymans terms as my husband and I are new to this. Thanks for help.

Put the photos in an iPhoto album. Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File export menu option and export them to a folder on the Desktop. From there you can upload them to Ebay via your browser.

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.

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.

How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.

How do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements for editing?

how do i get photos from iphoto library over to photoshop elements 10 for editing?
this is an iMac that I just got so its all new to me...
thank you

If you set PSE as external editor, be sure you pick the right file, which is not by any means the logical choice. You want this one:
You can also export the photos from iphoto, edit them and save them under new names and reimport the edited photos as new files. This is more trouble, but lets you save as many different versions of your image as you like (iphoto only remembers the last edited version + original).

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

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.
