Why is my picture library in finder different than in IPhoto

i want to drag my picture library in finder to an external drive.  But when i compare the pictures in finder it does not have all of the folders i have set up in iphoto

Hello ccfr1234,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are seeing different photos in another iPhoto Library on your computer than what you're used to, then you likely have opened another library which is on your computer.  To see the iPhoto Libraries stored on your computer, please follow the directions below.
To switch between photo libraries:
Quit iPhoto.
Hold down the Option key as you open iPhoto.
Select the library you want to switch to. 
Click Choose.
iPhoto '11: Create a new iPhoto library or switch between libraries
Take care,

  • TA24505 Why do d600 raw's look totally different than the jpg's that are imported together. When I select a raw, it looks as if it gets adjusted, but I can't figure out why...

    When I import nef files from nikon D600, the pictures look good in the preview, but that's just because the preview is a jpg, generated by the camera. When I select the image, it looks like it is processing something and a totaly different (darker) images is presented in the preview window and the thumbnails. In the adjusment window no adjustments look active/selected.
    Is the diference because Aperture cannot proces my Nef files the right way or are there some default adjustments selected in Aperture, somewhere that I'm not aware of? Maybe some default import setup...?
    I use the latest updated version of Aperture, I'm new to aperture and understand the concept but am not familiar with all the tools.
    Anyone?
    (thanks in advance!)

    Thanks Leonie,
    I think this also answers my question:
    Are you per chance using the in-camera setting for D-Lighting? If so, this is a Nikon proprietary use where the camera intentionally underexposes the image, then applies in-camera processing to bring it back to normal exposure that offers a slightly enhanced dynamic range. Unfortunately, Nikon does not share how this is done and it can only be rendered by their own software options.
    Aperture, or any other third party RAW image processor, can't easily match these proprietary processes in any exact fashion ... they have to develop their own ... not just for one camera or one brand ... but all those they support ... even if they would try to match these in-camera settings ... the likelihood that they would satisfy more than a small batch of users is quite low ... tone and color results are purely subjective so finding a match that would please everyone is almost impossible.
    This is why if you plan on using a third party RAW processor like Aperture, it is best to avoid using the in-camera processing settings. Rather you should create your own presets within Aperture to achieve your goals. In this instance, it is better to allow your chosen RAW processor to do the work, rather than the camera do the processing.
    The reason you see the change in the image as Aperture loads it, you initially see the embedded jpeg preview from the NEF file. Then Aperture creates a new more accurate view based upon Aperture's RAW processing engine.

  • Why would the browser preview display look different than what I am seeing in the design view? Pls help!

    When working with accordion panels, when I first insert the widget it looks fine, then I begin customizing the content and then the Preview display does not look the same as the Design display. For instance, in the design display the panel aligns with the adjacent image, but in Preview, it appears offset by one or two pixels.

    Hi,
    Please take a look at this post with similar discussion : Re: What I see in Design mode is not the same in Preview mode. ?

  • Why does the Harvey Balls font print differently than it displays in Acrobat?

    I used the Harvey Balls font (harvey_balls.ttf) to populate a table in a PowerPoint 2007 document. I saved the document as a PDF using the Save As - Adobe PDF function in PowerPoint. When the document displays on my screen, it looks normal. Please see below an example of two 4-balls on the left and two 3-balls on the right.
    However, when I print it from Acrobat, the solid black circles that represent "4" in the Harvey Ball font print out with a white cutout in the upper left quadrant of each. Please see below, an example of the same two 4-balls on the left and two 3-balls on the right.
    How can I get this to print properly?

  • I do not have that "Firefox Tab" in the top left corner of my browser like it is shown in the video. Why is my version of 4.0 different than the demo version?

    After watching the demo video today, I noticed that my browser does not look like the one depicted in the video. For instance, there is no "Firefox" tab in the upper left corner like on the video.

    The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • Picture library webpart remove vertical scrollbar

    I have inserted the picture library webpart onto the home page of a site, and no matter how I adust the settings (fixed pixels on height and width, or "NO. Adjust width to fit zone.", or any combination thereof) I still get a vertical scrollbar.
    In short, I don't want any scrollbars displayed in the picture library.
    Also, rather than dealing with the SharePoint supplied picture library webpart, are there any webparts available for purchase that also slickly shows pictures on a SharePoint site?
    Any comments appreciated, thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to remove vertical scrollbar in picture library webpart.
    Per my knowledge, if you insert the list view web part and select the picture library, the web part will display as below, which has no vertical scrollbar.
    In addition, if you want to display pictures, you can use SharePoint Picture Menu Web Part or Picture Library Slideshow Web part.
    More information:

  • Flash.system.System.totalMemory different than Windows mem display

    Anyone know why flash.system.System.totalMemory is much
    different than what I see FlashPlayer taking up in the Windows Task
    Manager?
    I would expect to see some overhead, but the differences I'm
    seeing are quite large (i.e. 80MB vs 150MB).
    Thanks

    I may have run into something that might be related. The project I am working on was going fine until I added updates and switch from VGA to HDMI. I added the updates via ICE rather than download after install. The OS install went through the normal
    routine and rebooted. I removed the installation disk and the system rebooted and started to continue the install process. Then the screen went blank as if the system was going to reboot... nothing. I checked the HDMI output and still nothing. I removed
    all the updates and tried again, same exact result. If I power cycle the message says that the install failed.
    I went into the BIOS and found the video settings had support for CRT, HDMI and LVDS. I have ran into LVDS issues before. I disable LVDS, and set the system to output from CRT. This time the OS installer worked as expected. My guess is that the video driver
    switched to the LVDS screen. You might be getting a video driver update - check the BIOS settings and disable LVDS if enabled.

    There's no driver updates, also I don't have the option for LVDS in the bios. The computer has a display port and HDMI, I'm using the HDMI.
    I re-imaged the computer and tried updating 1 update at a time to try an isolate the problem. About 5 updates in I realized it would take several hours to complete the job, so I started to group the updates. The problem re-occurred with the following
    group of updates.
    KB2991963
    KB2992611
    KB2993958
    KB3003743
    KB3004361
    Unfortunately I don't see a correlation. I re-imaged and re-installed the updates on 3 other identical machines and could not reproduce the problem. Very frustrating...

    The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with.  "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts.  In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do.  Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
    All pedantic, but please stick with me here  .
    You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
    That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
    The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
    You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
    From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
    Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
    The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
    Every Image has an Original.
    The Image is not the Original.  The Image is what you see in Aperture.
    The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
    You can make changes to an Image.
    Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
    Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database.  Let's call this file the Changes File.
    Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
    Image = Original + Changes File.
    The Image is not a file.
    Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs.  It exists only inside of Aperture.
    In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
    You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
    You may ask, "Why all the complexity?  Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?"  The answer is simple:  Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images.  Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file.  The gain in storage efficiency is huge.  The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
    Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:
    SamanthaR22 might have written:

    No, there is not.  Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs.  You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
    Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images.  These files are called Previews.  You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab.  These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser.  These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

  • Pictures folder in finder vs iphoto library

    Is there a resource designed to help me navigate the difference between the pictures folder in the finder screen vs the iphoto library? I am having a hard time keeping track of where my pictures are being stored. I have tried dragging files from one file to the other, but then it claims that they are unreadable. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    finton
    Is there a resource designed to help me navigate the difference between the pictures folder in the finder screen vs the iphoto library?
    Yes, it's called iPhoto
    I am having a hard time keeping track of where my pictures are being stored.
    You don't have to.
    iPhoto is a database. The idea is that you do all your work in the iPhoto Window and leave iPhoto to manage those file in the iPhoto Library Folder. There are no user-serviceable parts in the iPhoto Library Folder and you are really best staying out of there. Put another way:
    +It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss+
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: 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.
    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. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    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.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    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.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Finally, as an fyi:
    A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.

    Thanks Larry, but sorry if I'm being dense, but are you saying that the space being used is not 13gb (Iphoto) + 15 gb (Photo) = 28gb?  And that if I toss the iPhoto Lib I won't save 13gb?  That's what I not getting about this 'shared' library.
    Yes that is exactly what I said - and what the article I liked said with a somewhat detailed description
    Basically both libraries  use Linux HardLinks to the original photos - the finder sees each has containing the compete set of photos although the photos are only on disk once
    And deleting one library only deletes the links and a few overhead items - so again as I said would save very little space

  • "my pictures" folder in finder vs iphoto library

    I noticed many (not all) of my photos in the "pictures" folder in the finder.  I think they're dups of what I have nicely organized in iphoto.  Can I delete the photos in the Pictures folder without disturbing the photos in iphoto?
    I guess what I'm wondering is if iphoto automatically copies photos to the Pictures folder?  Did I place them there intentionally?  I always import photos from my camera directly to iphoto.  Where do photos "live" on mac?
    Thank you very much. 

    1 - iPhoto never puts any photo anyplace except in the iPhoto library so any photo anyplce else (like the pictures folder) was not put there by iPhoto but by you
    2 - assuming that you are using a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) then you can delete any photo not in the iPhoto library
    I guess what I'm wondering is if iphoto automatically copies photos to the Pictures folder?
    No - it never copies photo anyplace except to the iPhoto library
    Did I place them there intentionally?
    Someone did - iPhoto does not
