IPhoto 11 how can I view original and edited photo

I am new to imac and have been editing photos with iphoto 11. After editing a photo I can see the edited photo, but how can I view the original?
Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
Thanks

If you want to see the original image then hold the shift key when in edit mode.
Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
Not exactly sure what you mean by that... with iPhoto 11, when you edit a pic nothing on the original pic is changed, and all your editing decisions are recorded in the database. Next time you view the image these decisions are applied to the image as you view it. So, iPhoto records the edit history. Subsequent edits work on the aggregrate history, or you can revert to the original and start over.
If you want to have multiple versions (say, one in in B&W, one in Sepia) then you need to duplicate the image.
Note that the versions are all virtual, based on the Master. Deleting the master will also delete the versions.

HOW CAN I GO BACK AND EDIT A PDF OR FILE .. ON LINE

How can I go back and open file and edit?

[Locking this thread. Please see answer in the duplicate post at HOW CAN I GO BACK AND EDIT A PDF OR FILE .. ON LINE]

When I zoom in on photo using iPhoto, how can I save the zoomed in photo please? This always looks better than cropping., When I zoom in on photo using iPhoto, how can I save the zoomed in photo please? This always looks better than cropping.

When I zoom in on photo using iPhoto, how can I save the zoomed in photo please? I would like a screen shot of my zoomed in photo - is this possible?. Cropping doesn't give the same effect as zooming in and magnifying the photo. Any help would be appreciated thank you. I have an iMac

To take a screenshot of the zoomed photo, press either the key combination
⇧⌘3 for a screenshot of the full screen, or
⇧⌘4 to bring up a selection rectangle: select the section of the screen, that you want to save.
The screenshots will be sent to your desktop; drag them from there to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to import them.

Can't see original and edited Pic in My Catalogue

I started using Photoshop Album Starter Edition yesterday. And I'm pretty sure that when I edited a picture, the catalog would insert the edited version right next to the original.
Now, I cannot see both the original and the edited version. I see in the catalogue only originals I have not edited and the edited versions of all the others.
In Windows Explorer it is clear that the original picture is there. Also, I can click on it and open with Starter Edition (Viewer), but that only lets me see a slide show version - no editing.
I've tried reconnecting and finding (using menus and buttons) and I get an error message that the file(s) is/are already in the catalogue.
The Show All option is on in the catalogue, BTW, and I have tried this on two different computers with separate downloads of APA SE (downloaded at separate times) with the same result
If I change the filename slightly - e.g. file001.jpg => file001a.jpg, then I can import the picture, but renaming all the files would be a burdensome process.
How can I view and edit both the original versions and the edited versions right next to each other?
Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm glad I wasn't going crazy, and there's a reason the originals weren't viewable. If I understand you correctly, the original can come back into view in PSA SE if I choose to "revert."
Question:
Does "Revert" mean that (1) the edited image disappears altogether - i.e., is deleted - or (2) the image doesn't show up in PSA SE's catalog any more, but still exists physically on the drive?
As to why I'm trying to fight PSA's help: Sometimes I just want to see the original and the edited versions to see if I really prefer the edited version better, or want to try different editing options. I know you can do this side by side in the "before & after," but the images there are not very large.
And I guess you're right about duplicating if I want to do different things with the same image, but that requires planning ahead, a trait which I ....
So, Question:
Is there some way to fight back and win, i.e., get the catalog to show both the originals and edits, other than individually renaming each original file and importing it again?
If not, then I'll have to look at the images side by side in windows explorer or do the duplicate option.
Thanks again!

IPhoto import: does Aperture import Original and Edited, or just Edited?

If you edit an image in iPhoto, iPhoto creates a copy of the image and stores the original in its own folder. Further edits are on the copy.
When Aperture imports from iPhoto, does it import the Original, the Edited image, or both?
My hunch is it imports the Edited image, and the Original will be lost. Love to know for sure!

When you import you'll get a stack for any image that
you have edited in iPhoto. Your edited photo will be
on top with the master behind it.
This is excellent news. With all the bad news about Aperture I'd feared the worst.

How can I merge original and modified folders in iphoto library?

I see 2 folders within iPhoto library - originial and modified. Original folder keeps all pictures in original and modified has the edited version for picture I edit. So iPhoto basically keeps 2 version for any picture I modify, which takes a lot of space.
I would like to have just one copy for each picture (original picture or only modified version of the picture if I edit) - this way I think I would save a lot of memory. Could someone please advise
1. if there is any iPhoto settings that I change, so that it starts saving only 1 copy for each picture
2. If I could something with my already existing pictures - i.e. if there is a way I can delete "original" version of only those pictures for which "modified" version is available.
Let me know if anything is not clear or you need any more information. Thanks in advance.

Don't use iPhoto.
Iphoto is a Digital Asset Manager designed to protect your original file at all costs. In other words it treats the original like a film shooter treats the negative. This is hard-wired into iPhoto, it's the very heart of the programme. If you don't want that feature, don't use iPhoto/
Note that there are different versions of the photo, they are not copies. The Original is required for the Non-Destructive editing feature in iPhoto.
So, specifically, no you cannot merge the two folders - and by the way, doing so won't save any memory at all, just some diks space.
1. if there is any iPhoto settings that I change, so that it starts saving only 1 copy for each picture
There isn't.
2. If I could something with my already existing pictures - i.e. if there is a way I can delete "original" version of only those pictures for which "modified" version is available.
There isn't.
If space is an issue: use an external drive for the Library:
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.
Or, just use an app that works the way you want.

How can I see, use and edit contacts on PC without...

Now I finally worked out how to sync my contacts to my N95 8G (see earlier posts), I would like to use this data, plus the calendar data on a daily basis on my PC and update it where necessary, before finally synching back to the N95 at the end of the day.
Has anybody any ideas how this can be done ?
With my old Palm-based system I would use the Palm desktop but the PCSuite (v. 7.0) doesn't seem to offer this functionality.
Now the contct and calendar data must be copied there on the PC as I've performed a back-up via the Suite, but how do I get to see and edit this data (or a copy thereof) on the PC ?
If Nokia can't be bothered to work out how to do this, has anybody come across any third party vendors who have ?

Hi - sorry for the tardy response.
When I saw that my Palm device was fading rapidly and that it was no longer supported by upgrades to new versions of Windows (a Sony Clie of 2002 vintage that I used for everything bar phone calls), I backed up my palm desktop contacts, calendar etc. to my Yahoo account with no problems.
My other posts on this forum described my frustration at not being able to simply export a file back out of Yahoo that the N95 would understand, without losing bits of the contacts (e.g. all the telephone numbers). In the end I had to go via Outlook - my other post (copied below) describes how I did it.
The approach is not perfect and I intend it to be a once only thing. I will still suffer the hassle of entering new contacts into both my N95 and my online address book as the Nokia PC Suite does not appear to accurately read csv files created by Yahoo.
My poor user experience with N95 will make me think seriously about going back to a Palm-based / Blackberry device when upgrade time comes around again.
1: Open Outlook and back up the existing contacts (that you wish to keep separate from your N95 contacts) by exporting them to the desktop in a .pst - "outlook.pst"
2: Once they are backed up to Outlook.pst, select all these contacts in Outlook and delete
3: In Yahoo, export all contacts to an Outlook format .csv file (note, Yahoo offers different .csv formats) - "Personal.csv"
4: In Outlook, import the new Personal.csv file you have created. Check contacts. Delete duplicates, and check/update errors (i.e. use Outlook like the PIM that PC Suite ought to be and isn't !).
5: In Nokia PC Suite, use the Synchronise function to synchronise the N95 with Outlook
6: Select all personal contacts in Outlook that you just imported via persoanl.csv, delete them to clean out Outlook.
7: Re-import the Outlook.pst file you originally created above to restore your original (work?) outlook contacts.
Thanks for taking the time to share "our" frustrations. As you've indicated, after enjoying the ease of managing Palm data both on the device and on the desktop, the Nokia N95 simply falls flat on its face (despite the shopkeeper's assurance it was far and above better). I have found that at least the generic PC Suite has a means to view the calendar and contacts on the desktop provided the phone is hooked up by USB. I still had to manually enter everything onto the phone to get it all as I want it, and have decided to only put the stuff I truly need to have with me at all times. I also tried to download an MP3 program but it won't accept the format (and I thought Sony had the wrap on exclusivity!?). When Nokia or another company comes up with a truly do-it-all-right format, I'll be first in line. Meantime, I will take my Palm on trips, and will tuck the MP3 player in a side pocket. This was an expensive mistake that I won't make again.

How can I create prefilled and editable PDF's on a Linux server with PHP?

I can create PDF's with editable form fields (extended features?) and serve those to our users and I can pre-fill form fields with data from the database using FDF, but then the PDF throws an error and the end user can't fill out the remaining fields (in Reader, it still works in Pro).
I've tried 2 open source approaches already, but the end result is either a fillable form or a pre-filled form. I can't seem to do both at the same time.
I've looked around adobe.com and frankly there's just so much stuff there that isn't even applicable it's staggering. I am completely lost and resorting to asking a question on a forum. I've searched these forms (and others), but anything related to this problem have no answers. I'm sure there's a way to do it.
If I try to set the PDF to fetch the FDF using a http post/submit (can I get it to do that when it loads?) I would still have to get an id number into the query string or object on a per document basis (some how?) and that means editing the PDF server side which breaks the structure which then throws the error on the client side and I'm right back at the beginning again.
At this point, it looks like it's going to take less time to simply create the form in HTML with a unique CSS file for the print version using a PNG for visual elements instead of a PDF. Not a great way to go for printing, but it would only take a day to set up. The time to create new forms is the issue. I don't want to spend 8 hours creating new HTML forms when I can do a PDF in 2 hours. Is it more efficient to go with an Adobe solution or roll my own HTML version?
All I want to do is help the users save some time by pre-filing part of the form so they can print it.
Any advice?

Ok, I hope someone can move this to the Adobe Reader for Android forum, where you will find the experts you need.

How can I copy, paste and edit a phone number?

If I copy a phone number then paste it, how can I edit the pasted number?
For example, my phone has an Irish SIM. If I am in the UK and copy a UK phone number from an email signature it will typically be in local format i.e. 0208 456 7890. I need to dial 00 44 208 456 7890. I cannot find a way to delete the zero prefix and add the country code.

This one kills me as well - editing phone numbers in the keypad/dialer is a pretty basic function, I could never fathom why it didn't exist. We need to be able to place a cursor, and copy/paste part-numbers! I'm constantly trying to paste just an area code, or an extension, or insert the country code, and I should not need to create a new number in the contact directory to do it!
Currently I do the copy/paste editing in Notes, and then paste the corrected number into the dialer - pointless and inefficient, and contrary to the Apple philosophy of making the user experience easy and seamless...

How can I view original websites not mobile versio...

Is there anyway to view original websites not mobile versions websites on N97?

Some mobile phone networks implement something called a transparent proxy. No inherently a bad idea, but in this particular instance it is a bit annoying.. Basically it intercepts your web traffic and "optimises" it for mobile clients. This is actually fairly nice for crummier phones that perhaps can't cope with complex HTML or large images (or flash)
As radical said, some sites however are optimised themselves.. The website will serve different content when it detects that the client (in this case, your phone) is a mobile device or if the client is coming from a mobile network company (rare, but happens) .. Also helpful.. I think Orange in the UK may intercept graphics files and reduce re-compress them into smaller versions..but I've never tested/looked into it closely enough to know for sure
The first you may be able to do something about. Some phone networks have an "opt-out" facility. This may be a slightly different APN. Not all networks offer it, so your milage may vary.
The second is out of your control, unless you get some freaky browser for the N97 that can pretend to be a desktop (a bit like Opera can pretend to be IE)
I'm lead to believe that the chances of doing anything about it are fairly slim if you happen to suffer from the problem

How can I see previously ViewNX2-edited photos (raw) in Lightroom 3?

I recently bought Lightroom 3, and after importing my previously ViewNX 2-edited photos (in RAW, NEF), I saw that Lightroom doesn't show those changes. I can only see the photos in its original form.
Is there a way to import them to Lightroom 3 and see the changes made in ViewNX 2?
Thanks.

If you want your VNX2 adjustments to appear in LR, you'll have to export as TIFF or JPG from VNX2 and import that file into Lightroom.

How can I view duplicates and remove them in my IPOD....doesn't work in itunes except at the library level.

i can view duplicates in my library on itunes but not on my ipod when connected....is there a secret way or just a missing action on itunes ?

I don't think it is possible to use that feature on an iPod. I do have a deduping script for use in iTunes which I might be able to modify to process tracks on a device, however I don't have anything set up in manual mode for testing right now.
FWIW having the only copy of your tracks on your iPod is not ideal. If they were all in your library you wouldn't have so much of a problem deduping and could survivie loss, theft or failure of the device.

HT204088 How can i view past and current invoices info from my iPad ?

This is great doing this from a PC with iTunes but I can't seem to figure out how to do this from an iPad , does any one know how

Hi - sounds like you are watching your cameras on your LAN only - you need special software to watch them on the internet outside your house - this software usually comes with the cameras on a disk or is in the firmware - I would check with the manufacturer to see if this is possible.

Viewing Original and modified side by side

Hi,
I was wordering if it where possible to see the original picture while having the modified one side by side to see the difference while editing.
Thanks,
Stephane

Hi Stephane,
With iPhoto 6 you can hold down the Control key after the edit to view the original and edited photo side by side.
This option is not available in iPhoto 5.
You can however drag the photo from the library view to the desktop to copy the original to the desktop. Double click to open the photo on the desktop in Preview.
Now within iPhoto, do your edit on the photo in the library. Switch between iPhoto window and the Preview window to compare. You should be able to view both at the same time by adjusting your windows.
