What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

If you use Adobe Photoshop, or even Adobe Photoshop Elements, stay as far away from iPhoto as possible.
iPhoto does not play nice with Adobe software or with software from any other third party developer.
iPhoto will hide your image files in a library paradigm where you have no access to them other than through iPhoto.

  • What is the best way to import photos from iPhoto 9 into PSE 11?

    I just installed PSE 11 and I would like to move the pictures from my iPhoto 9 Library in to PSE 11.
    What is the best way to accomplish this as far as accuracy of data?
    Thank you!
    Len

    There is a direct option in Organizer which lets you import from iPhoto. This is under Import dropdown menu in left panel.
    If you are importing from iPhoto'09, your Tags, Albums Events, captions, star rating would also get imported apart from your media. This works differently for iPhoto'011 where you can get only the media to the Organizer,
    Just a couple of things to know:
    1. If in iPhoto preferences, you have chosen to create copies of your photos in iPhoto library and your library hence refers to the media store inside the library package, then on importing from iPhoto, Organizer would create copies of all those media under your pictures folder. That means, it would not corrupt your iPhoto package or modify it in any way.
    2. However, if in iPhoto, you are organizing by using references to original location on your Hard drive i.e. you are not creating copies of media in iPhoto library then on importing from iPhoto to Organizer, the Organizer would also use the same references and would not create copies of the media.
    Hope that helps!

  • What's the best way to share photos?

    Now that MobileMe Gallery is gone, what's the best way to share photos over the internet?
    Is there some simple method where I can upload an entire album from iPhoto and then send a link to others so they can view them?
    I've tried both Flickr and Shutterfly and did not like either.

    Why can't iPhoto just pull the images from a media browser or something over the network?
    I don't know. Part of the issue has to be that iPhoto is not a HD browser. Another part is what you mean by " ... just pull the images".
    Any tips on creating a locally hosted web gallery?
    My greatest single tip of all time: try it! The tools available to use for just a few hundred dollars are astoundingly powerful.
    Or... does anyone have any Automator magic they'd like to share?
    No need. Web galleries are built into Aperture 3. Put the images you want to be in the gallery in one Album (Smart or otherwise). Select all the images. Click "New→Web Page". Select a theme. Change some of the text. Make some other changes. Click "Export Web Pages ... ". Make some more decisions. Give the folder a name. Save it somewhere with access to those whom you wish to see it. Select "Tell me when done". Check your email (have a coffee). Click "Show in Finder". Open the folder. Double-click the file "index.html". Brilliant! Enjoy.
    The trick to sharing this is to make the folder available. The index file will always open the web site pages in a web browser.

  • What is the best way to transfer photos from old laptop to new laptop?

    What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

    If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
    The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.

    I've always been partial to Numark and Audio-Technica. Have several DJ friends and a client who runs a DJ business, and they use Audio-Technica stuff almost exclusively.
    You may be surprised at how easy it is...
    With the exception of cameras (webcams especially) Macs are pretty much "Plug &Play" with anything USB, and even though I've never used one, reviews say you just plug the turntable in and it reads as a drive.

  • What is the best way to organize photos? iPhoto or Aperture?

    I am a mom taking tons of photos of my young children. On my old PC I used to organize everything within "My Pictures" by Month & Year (May 2008). I am a very organized, linear person and don't like to change the way I do things midstream so I am having a hard time figuring out how to organize our family photos now that I have switched to a Mac with iPhoto and Aperture. In the future I hope to learn about Aperture's professional tools (which as a mom & not a professional photographer I currently do not use). I would love to take photography classes at a local community college someday...
    My questions are as follows:
    1) What is the better way for ME to store our photos? Should I be uploading to iPhoto or Aperture? I basically want all of my "master photo images" in the same location in an organized fashion. I am hoping to do this without clogging up my computer. At this point I am thinking at the end of each year I will burn the year's photos to a disk for save keeping. But until then...
    2) Is the "library" the over-arching place where all photos are stored? In general, I am having a hard time following the hierarchy of where my photos are being stored, how to organize them and how to completely delete bad photos.
    3) Can I do everything I can do in iPhoto in Aperture? Obviously I know I can do more but is it as easy to edit/fix up photos?
    I have listened to/watched several tutorials on both programs and have read through many other folks' questions/answers but I am still not sure of what to do.
    I really appreciate any help/advice anyone is willing to give!
    Thanks!

    I'm not a professional either, just a grandma with a love of digital photography who takes lots of photos. We used to live in a motorhome full time, so we had lots of opportunities to take many photos.
    I personally like Aperture better than iPhoto because I like to use some of the NIK software/plugins where I can do the adjusting right in Aperture and don't always have to send the photos to PhotoShop. Also you have a bit more flexibility as to file set ups with Aperture. In iPhoto you don't have as many nesting capabilities. iPhoto is great, but pretty basic.
    I had my photos set up as files on the PC, long before I got my first Mac. So I set them up the same way. I'll try to explain
    In Finder:
    Pictures (in side bar on left in Finder)
    Folder - My Photos
    2nd Folder - by year
    In the year folder I have a folder by date ie: 20000722 (year,month,date) and the photos from that date in there.
    Once I got to using Aperture, I have my years set up as "projects" and the dates set up as "Albums". When importing the whole set of photos into Aperture, it was easy. I highlighted the "library", then did a right mouse click and selected "import folders as projects". That imported the photos into Aperture the same way I have them in finder.
    Once everything is in Aperture, and you have new photos to add, I make an album under the corresponding year and import.
    I do all my photos as referenced and don't duplicate them again, as I have them backed up in a couple of other places.
    IMHO you can't back up enough! Don't wait and do it only once a year! Hard drives have a way of crashing and you'll loose all your photos. Use DVD's, thumb drives, ext. hard drives or what ever works for you. But always back up.
    When I take my photos off of the memory card, I immediately send a copy to the back up external HD. Once the photos are adjusted etc. I make sure I have a copy elsewhere too. Only then do I erase them off of the memory card. Might be a bit redundant, but I'm not about to loose any of my photos. When we lived in the motorhome we were always aware of the possibility of theft or fire. So I got in the habit of taking some time to reduce the size of the photos and keep them on a thumb drive that I kept out of the RV. If anyone broke in or we had a fire, I'd still have the photos. Maybe not the originals or the bigger size, but we wouldn't loose them either.
    If you want more info on non professional filing, send me a PM and I can send you a photo of my file hierarchy . (suemach (at) mac (dot) com)

  • What is the best way to import pictures from iPhoto without compression?

    I'm trying to create a slide show using Final Cut Pro. No, I'm not interested in using iDVD slide show function because it doesn't allow me to do a whole lot. I would like to add titles and music for certain segments with video inserted here and there.
    Anyway, when I used the slide show function in iPhoto, exported it out as a quick movie file, and then imported it into Final Cut Pro, I noticed a significant downgrade in quality of images. It obviously looks different from when I play the slide show in iPhoto. What would be the best way to import pictures into Final Cut Pro without any compression?
    Thanks in advance.

    I only see Share > Export.
    Some versions of iPhoto work that way -it's just Apple moving things around.
    what's the difference between exporting it from iPhoto then import it into FCP vs. just importing directly from FCP?
    Your first post mentioned exporting a slide show from iPhoto -I assumed that is where your images are stored.
    I do not want to import pictures one by one...
    You don't have to. iPhoto will let you select as many as you want, or if the images are elsewhere, you can also select multiple files from FCP's Import dialog.
    ...and stick them together manually.
    Editing is an art and involves some effort on your part. It is not an automated process. This method opens up far more possibilities, access to filters and color correction and the opportunity to use Motion for even more sophisticated animation.
    But, it only allows me to export it as 720 x 480. The original size of my photos is 3872 x 2592. Is there any way I can create a quicktime file in the original size?
    You should be aware that 3872 x 2592 is not a standard pixel aspect ratio that is used in video. The images will be resized to the Sequence settings that you set up in Final Cut Pro.
    I have never used iPhoto to make a slideshow before, but I just gave it a try and was able to export one with the images in their native size, simply by typing the pixel dimensions into the boxes in the dialog window:
    I don't have PhotoMagico myself, but it comes highly recommended by several of the forum regulars.
    Perhaps one of them will see this discussion and help with your last question.

  • What is the best way to aggregate photos from multiple family users into a single iCloud photo library?

    My wife and I currently have a iPhone and iPad each.
    We share my apple ID account for apps and I also use this as my main icloud account on my devices.
    My wifes devices have a different main icloud account.
    We also have a iMac with separate users configures, which are tied to our individual icloud accounts.
    Now that OSX photos has been released we want to make use of it including icloud photo library.
    We take photos. Lots of them.
    And we want the photos from all our devices to be aggregated automatically into a single osx photos/iCloud photo library.
    1 - because we want a single library which includes all our photos from the last 15 yrs
    2 - because we don't want to pay twice for storage
    Seems to me there are two options - but I would be happy to hear any others.
    1) The family sharing route
    This seems to be the official solution, but it has major limitations.
    Set up family sharing. I'll be the organiser since its my apple id thats used for app purchases already
    Add my wife to the family
    Ah... but now she has to manually share every photo or moment from he device
    And it seems that these moments are not incorporated into the photos database in same way as the icloud library account users (me) are
    2) Family iCloud account
    I didn't test it yet, but no reason that I can see why it should not work
    Create a new icloud account for the family
    Make this family account the primary icloud account on all devices (could be a big disruption for icloud enabled apps)
    Add our personal apple ids as mail/contact/calendar account
    Make a new user on OSX for photos which has the family icloud account configured
    No all devices should share the same photo library
    Unfortunately:
    We lose bookmark, keychain, etc sync between devices and osx accounts
    We lose imessage (maybe).
    We lose the new ios8/yosemite features like handoff
    Or worse we get crazy imessage/handoff between all devices from all accounts
    Both methods have major downsides.
    Anyone know of a better way?
    Why doesnt apple allow multiple separate icloud accounts to be configured and select which features each can use (where some features may have to be unique to a single account). To me this would seem to be the best option...

  • What is the best way to import photos from an Android phone?

    Hi. I'm running Adobe Photoshop Lightroom v. 4.3 to edit and organize my photos. So, after having shot a few photos with my camera - a Samsung Galaxy s4 - I will plug my S4 to my PC (USB), open APL, click "import" and start going, as I always do with my DLS. However, on the import page there will appear all sorts of stuff, not only my recently taken photos named Bestfit, Large, and so on, but also quite a lot of photos I could swear I never have taken, some of them looking like screenshots of some sort. Obviously, this isn't how things should be. So my question is, a) how do I get rid of all those pictures that of some reason seemed to already be on my camera, and b) what should I do to see only one version (the best) of those recently taken? Should I start using a third-party program? In case, which?
    As this was the case also with my former HTC Desire, I suppose this is may be an Android case, but on the other hand, I guess several of you may have encountered this.
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same problem.  To prevent that, I change the import source from the default source that's already selected under "Devices" on the left panel, to the source lower in that same panel, under "Files" where you will see the Windows drive letter that the Android's storage was mounted under, expand that, expand the DCIM folder, and then select Camera.  So mine is typically F:\DCIM\Camera.  If you have a Mac, I have no idea how the import screen presents files vs devices, but I suspect you'll find it there too.
    Sometimes I find that Windows takes a little while to list the Files drive letters, even though it already lists the Android under Devices.  If you don't see anything but your computer's normal drive letters, try canceling the import, waiting a few seconds, and then clicking import again.  That usually enough time for it to finish mounting/recognizing.  I think this is a Windows process, not a Lightroom one, as the drive letters aren't fully accessible in Windows Exporer immediately either.

  • What's the best way to export Photos from Aperture to iPhoto

    Hi,
    so heres the deal:
    My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
    So to get his photos i thaught i could just copy his aperture library onto my external hd.
    but will i be able to import the photos into iphoto? and i'd like to not have the originals but the edited photos.
    or will i have to export the photos from aperture (e.g. with my brothers, faster mac...)

    Paul, do your father and you have compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture?  Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 or later?
    Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
    With the new, unified library architecture you can simply open an Aperture library in iPhoto - no need to import anything.
    If the Aperture library is not compatible, from an older Aperture version, you can try to export the versions on your brother's mac (file > Export > Versions).
    My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
    That is not normal, however old the mac is.
    Either his hard drive is too full and needs freeing disk space, or he has imported corrupted images, or his Aperture library needs repairing or rebuilding.  He should try to repair his library, if he has used "force quit" on Aperture.  See: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

  • What's the best way to share footage from FCPX with an Editor still on FCP7?

    I have a lot of footage that I've been organizing & logging in FCPX. But soon I'm handing the footage off to an editor that works mainly in FCP7.
    Yes, I'm aware of the plugins 7toX and Xto7 that we should have, respectively, to share XML files. That way I can send them xmls for a rough cut.
    But first, I want to share the raw footage with them in a way that'll ensure that the plug-ins work, etc.
    Any thoughts/recommendations? Greatly appreciated.

    I'm sure you know that the same plug-ins that work on FCP7 won't work in X and vice versa. So' Im not sure what you're trying to achieve by first sharing the raw footage.
    Depending on the codec, the raw footage may or may not work in both. Or to ut it another way, X may be able to work natively with clips that require transcoding to Pro Res in 7.
    At the end of the day, unless you are OK collaborating with flattened files, I imagine the third party XML solutions will be your friend.
