Add signature to an iPhoto?

Is there an easy way to add your signature to an iPhoto? How about a border w/a signature, is this possible? I've tried & tried but can't figure it out.
Thank you.

It can be done in Aperture or with an app like these
Impression
iWatermark
BorderFX - a free plug-in. (http://www.iborderfx.com/iborderfx/)
There are others. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

How do I "Add to Library" when iPhoto won't recognise selected photos?

A few months ago I was unable to import photos from the same Canon camera I've always used with iPhoto. Despite a number of steps taken, the problem has not resolved.
As I was getting a few erratic problems I decided to rebuild the computer (back up, wipe hard disk, re-install all software,etc.). I then imported the photos from the camera as usual. Last night they imported properly. Tonight those new photos are do not appear in the Library window of iPhoto. Those new photos are, however, in the iPhoto folder. When I try File/Add to Library, I get the message "Unreadable Files: 1 The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognised file type or the files may not contain valid data). The message then gives the path to the library "Users/Shared/iPhoto Library/2005".
Extra information:
*iPhoto Library in a shared folder so that my partner can access them from her Account;
*there are 2500 photos in my library;
*the photos are in .jpg format;
*I've always used the same camera - Canon IXUS v3;
*they imported OK yesterday but have disappeared today;
*I get the same result whether I try to Add to Library one photo or multiple folders of photos.
*I've read a few threads on these discussion pages but the answers don't seem applicable - if only because of the inconsistency (ie importing OK yesterday and being problematic today)
I'd be grateful for anyone's help!

I think I understand now. I am thinking you placed these files in the iPhoto Library folder yourself. You need to drag them to the desktop and import them from there, by either dragging them into an open iPhoto viewing window or using the command File>add to library within iPhoto.
Some more info for you:
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.

What is your operating system? Reader version?

IPhoto - When I add new photos to iPhoto from my iMac they do not appear in the "Photos" library. They do appear in Last Import. Any thoughts?

If you are seeing your photos in "Last Import", the photos are somewhere in your library. Perhaps the dates are wrong, and you do not see the photos arranged by date, where you expect them to be.
Select one of the photos on "Last Import", then ctrl-click it and select "Show in Event". That will take you to the event in event view.

Heck, I can know more about you from 1993 than from seeing your posts here...There's a difference between a sig and a tagline.
Stopped using sigs quite early. Back then it was also discouraged as it only add useless bytes to transfers over 9600 BAUD modems.
Was very fond of the latter. Use RoboMail to read mail forums offline (the days of Sparky and QWK) and had a sizeable tagline database in my mail reader. And sometimes, a worthwhile response was simply an empty mail with a tagline. :-)

Will the data entered under "Add a description" in iPhoto migrate with the images into Photos?

Will the data entered under "Add a description" in iPhoto migrate with the images into Photos?

Thanks for the reply. My particular use of iPhoto is for documents that I have photographed from archives, libraries, and other repositories across the US and Europe. For each one I have added a complete citation and notes. I am so relieved to hear that all my years of work on this will migrate with the new app!

Cant add still pictures from iPhoto

I am trying to add still pictures from iPhoto to a iMovie I am doing. I go to my media browser and click on photos. This brings up my iPhoto Library and albums. When I drag a photo into the time line, the clips move to make room, the photo appears in the time line, the default effect renders, but then a hear a beep, no message pops up and the picture disseapears from the time line. Any ideas??

Add signature to photos

Hi,
How add signature to photos in Aperture ?
I had a picture file to make a watermark. But my background is white.
Do possible to create a watermark with Text not picture ?
Thanks

The signature you are talking about is called (in English, in the User Manual) a "watermark". Search the User Manual and this forum for instructions on making and using them.
Your need is for a watermark file with a transparent layer. JPG does not allow transparency, so you'll have to convert your picture file to PNG. The easiest way to do this is to open it in the OS X program Preview and:
Show the Toolbar ("View➞Show Edit Toolbar")
Select the Instant Alpha tool (click the "magic wand" icon on the Toolbar)
Click and drag a short distance in the white background
Press and release the "delete" key
Say "Yes" to "Convert to PNG"
Save your file.
Then use this file for your watermark in Aperture.
The superb plug-in BorderFX does this automatically, and much more. Recommended. It's free, but it you use it, consider sending the developer some beer money.

How do I add photos from one iphoto library to another library

I own 2 macs and want to take the photos from one library and add them to a different library on a different Mac. How do I do it? I've copied the iphoto library from computer 1 to computer 2 but haven't yet done anything with the file.

Best solution is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to move photos between libraries
You can move one version of the image with selected metadata by exporting from one library and importing it to the other library - Exporting From iPhoto

Expanding email signature options in iphoto 08

When I email one photo from an open event in iphoto, I am provided with signature options. One option is one of my 4 email account addresses, and the other option is "no signature".
I would like to have all my email account addresses appear as signature options.
I have looked through the mail preferences and the iphoto preferences, but cannot find a solution. Anyone know the solution to this one? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That would be best answered in the Mail and Address Book forum.
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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do you add signature block to images

I am switching from a PC platform to Mac and from Adobe to Aperture 3. In Adobe is it easy to add a Signature to a image file for (c) however I cannot seem to find the magic in Aperture to do this. I have found that a lot of things are so simple on the Mac platform that I may be missing something simple. Thanks

Vern, I'm guessing your desire to add a signature to a photo is actually a watermark? If so that is definately possibly. Unfortunately this is not as easy as it could be and I'm hopeful that Apple gets this feature updated at some point. Sooner rather than later would be nice. However, you can find out how you can accomplish this by going to the help tab in Aperture and type in Watermark. The toughest part of making this happen is that you have to have access to Photoshop or possible other programs that you can create a PNG file in. The PNG file is a graphic file that you make to add to each photo on export. This graphic file can be text or something graphic like a logo. The one I use is text based and looks like this: © 2011 Daniel J. Cox/NaturalExposures.com. This text was created in Photoshop and saved as a PNG file with a transparent background. All of this sounds fairly complicated which it is but it can be done. If you don't have Photoshop maybe someone else can offer advise on how to create a PNG without Photoshop. Once you get a PNG created then there is an option in the export window that lets you add the watermark. The tough p[art is getting the PNG.
I moved to Aperture from Lightroom myself and I've been mostly happy but creating watermarks in Aperture is not nearly as easy as it is in Lightroom. Hope this helps. You can see samples of the watermark on images in an Aperture web page at http://www.naturalexposures.com/private/gallery/resplendentquetzal/large-4.html

Can't add signature or change signatures in Mail

I hadn't changed signatures in a very long time so I don't know when this started but...
I tried to add a signature and it will not show up in the pop-up menu in the New Message "signature" menu.
Also I can not edit previously created signatures.
I realize that trashing my mail preference file may correct this but it will, I assume, delete all of my signatures and probably reset many other things.
Any ideas on how I can fix this with the minimum amount of rebuilding of preferences?
Thanks.
RonL

How did you fix it? I expierience the same problem on my old Panther (10.3.9). Whenever I open my 'mail preferences'window, the only tab I can see and change is 'Accounts'. The tabs 'General, RSS, Fonts&Colors, Viewing, Composing, Signatures and Rules' all disappeared.
