Aperture vs iphoto quality of photos after editing

I heard that Aperture mantains the same resolution/quality after modifications. What about iPhoto?

Have you asked that question in the Aperture forum? Unless Aperture converts the jpgs to another format upon editing, i.e. tiff, any edit to a jpg file will result in some re-compression.
Adobe Bridge creates tiff files of all jpgs that are edited. Bloats the HD but is lossless.
Unless you perform many subsequent edits on the same file, it's hard to see the difference between the original and the edited version, resolution wise that is.

  • In iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

    in iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

    It's rather more complicated that this.
    iPhoto is a lossless editor. You don't lose any quality on your shot in iPhoto.
    The file size you see reported is the size of your iPhoto Preview: this is what gets used if you access the data via a media browser. It's a "good-enough-for-most-uses" version of the shot. Email it, upload to websites, use it in Presentation, Word processing file etc
    If you want to set the quality yourself then Export the photo using the File -> Export command.
    You can choose to export to Jpeg, Tiff or png. Tiff is lossless but the file sizes are up to 10 times larger. Jpeg allows you to choose different qualities: High, Medium or low. The difference is the amount of compression involved. High quality means very little compression. It's not unusual for photos exported at this setting to have a larger file size than the original.
    Which setting you choose depends on the use you intend. Further editing, printing then high is important. Sending to Facebook? Well low will do just fine there as they're going to trash the file anyway.
    But the key point: the file size only becomes an issue when you export.

  • IPhoto 2011 duplicate photo on edit ?

    When edit a photo in iPhoto 2011 it will ALWAYS create a duplicate ?
    I know that on old version of iPhoto prior to 2011 it always create duplicate while i've read somewhere (don't know where now) that from iPhoto 2011 non destruction editing works as Aperture: no duplicate, so no precious space lost, is it correct ?

    It's quite similar to Aperture, but not identical.
    When you edit with iPhoto the edits are recorded in the database. This is like Aperture.
    However, when you edit a Preview of the edited file is created. You have no choice in this. This is for use in all the apps that integrate with iPhoto. This is different from Aperture. In that application you can decide not to have Previews or you can vary the quality of them.
    Previews are also created if you import Raws.
    Simply, there is no significant space saving in iPhoto 11 compared to earlier versions.
    iPhoto has used non-destructive editing since iPhoto 08.
    Reverting to the Original does exactly that.

  • How/where do I save photos after editing in DxO Pro?

    Previously I have used iPhoto for all my photo storage/editing, but have just started using DxO Pro9 as my external editor, btu am confused as to what to do with the newly edited images. Exporting to Application does not work as iphoto cannot read the file. Exporting to original folder (uising the RAW image from the Masters sub-folder to start with) does not seem to show in the previews, back in iPhoto. Best I've managed so far is exporting to desktop, then dragging back into iPhoto, so it is imported again, but this means everything get duplicated doubling the amount of disk space used. Any suggestions, please?

    If DxO Pro9 is a photo editor then set it as the external editor and when finished editing save (not save as) to return the image to iPhoto - other wise you have to save to the desktop and reimport giving your multiple copies
    And what ever you do stop directly accessing the contents of the iPhoto library - it is not supported and will cause you problems - as an external editor you can choose in the iPhoto preferences to use the RAW - but if you do then you still have to save to the desktop and reimport the edited photo
    supported access to your photos is described here - How to Access Files in iPhoto

  • IPhoto RAW Images Compress after Editing!!

    Has anyone noticed that after editing a RAW picture in iPhoto that it compresses to less than half it's size?
    If I have a file that that is 11.2mb, after the edit it drops to 1.9mb.
    Is this a setting I am missing?
    Message was edited by: Richard Hagan

    Yes, it will show a smaller size. But if you drag that thumbnail to the desktop you'll find you have a jpg file which is the results of your editing the raw file in iPhoto. What iPhoto is reporting is the file size of the jpg that will created if you need to produce an file of that edited RAW file. Until you drag it to the desktop the edit (or rather edit instructions) are kept in iPhoto's database files and iPhoto uses that information to display the edited version in iPhoto.

  • Blurry photos after editing

    Why do my photos look blurry after editing in PSE11? They look fine in PSE and when I view the .Jpeg but when I go to upload them onto my blog, they look horrible and blurry.

    I have a similar issue.  I had photoshop elements 8 or 9 and made a brochure last year. Photos came out sharp and clear.  This year i upgraded to PSE11.  I am using some of the same exact photos but when I did a test print, or enlarged it on the screen, it was blurry and pixilated.  I made sure the original photo was at least 1MB, most are 2 or 3 MB.  I played with size and dpi, they looked fine on the screen but yet when I made a layer and placed it in the brochure, it's blurry.  I'ved tried resizing image in PSE11 but that doesn't seem to help and i need help  

  • IPhone no longer shows in iPhoto to import photos after 9.2 and iOS 5 updates

    For some reason my iPhone 4S doesn't show in iPhoto to import photos.  Oddly, iPhoto will launch when I plug into sync, but the phone does not show.  Also, the phone doesn't show in the Image Capture application.

    Same problem but I noticed that plugging my iphone or ipad in will launch iphoto and the device will show up on the left and new photos from the device will display.  However, the devices don't show up on the left if iphoto is already running when when I plug them in.  It's an easy workaround to turn iphoto off before plugging the device in but it's not the way it was before upgrading to IOS5 and 9.2.

  • Something is wrong with Preview 8.0. Saving half of each photo after edit. Why?

    Preview 8.0 has a big problem. Preview 8.0 is only saving half of each photo--literally. Happens when I open photo to edit , then save. See below. (I am posting this in several places since I can find no community that deals with Preview!)
    I am a long time mac user. Never had a problem before with Preview but apparently with the new update this week, I do. I have been editing photos for printing. Some need minor editing so I often use Preview with no problem.  Now it eats half of each photo!  I tried to use Preview  revert command but that did not work; however, was eventually able to restore. But this is crazy. Have switched to using Photoshop, but that's a pain when I only want to do a fast crop and save before printing. Now cannot trust Preview!
    I saw the posts about Preview crashing, but have not had that happen.
    Anyone else experience anything like this. Happens on my Mac BookPro running 10.10.3.

    I would run the combo updater, It's a quick easy option
    If that fails, do the following steps to reset Your files permissions.
    Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
    In the menu bar, select Utilities -> Terminal. Type resetpassword in the Terminal and press Enter.
    1 Select your main hard drive.
    2 In the dropdown box under "Select the user account" make sure to select your username.
    3 Select the option: "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs", click the Reset button. It's not obvious when it's complete.
    4 Quit the Reset Password application.
    5 Quit the Terminal.
    At this point you can restart or do other tasks like running Repair Disk in Disk Utility or Reinstall OS X.
    I recommend doing Repair Disk to verify the health of your drive. You can Repair Permissions while booted from your drive, but you can't Repair Disk unless you boot from recover or another drive.
    To Restart: Click Mac OS X Installer in the top left and click Quit Mac OS X Installer. Click the Startup Disk button. Click on your main hard drive and click the Restart button.

  • Discarding photos after editing

    In most cases I have no need for photos in their original state after they have been edited in the library (rotate, delete, crop, etc.). It seems that the pictures still reappear in backups or copies from the OS X Picture folder.
    Is there an efficient way to delete the pictures so that they don't reappear in the iphoto library of this or any other computer that the pictures are moves to?
    (Except for the obvious go find the pix in the OS X folder and delete one by one)
    Thanks much.

    Hi, rick. No, there isn't any way to dispose of the originals if you want to organize your photos with iPhoto. iPhoto keeps all your originals at all times. If you use the Finder to delete originals from the iPhoto Library folder, you will corrupt your iPhoto Library, and iPhoto won't work.
    If you don't want to keep originals, don't use iPhoto.

  • Quality of Photos after Making a movie is bad on TV

    I routinely make movies of photos i take (in iPhoto), and the final product looks great on my computer monitor...but the quality on tv is not impressive at all. I have a high definition TV, and the photos are shot at high resolution, and the quality is just as bad whether I burn the final project on DVD (using iDVD), or output it from my video ipod to my TV.
    I am thinking there must be a way that I can make the final output much better to be presented on tv.
    If you need to know, i am using imovie 6.0.2
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Napoleon,
    i don't have a real solution for you but one thing is this:
    if you create a movie (even in HDV format), then burn it to DVD you will have some quality loss as you're compressing the source material to mpeg2 - sorry no HD-DVD yet. the only thing that will really look good on your HDTV is a HD source directly connected to your TV.
    as for the photo aspect: pictures are different from video as explained in this article:
    http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html
    the original link was posted in this FCP thread:

    it's really about scanning, but i think it provides some really good insight .... as well as a good laugh

  • Exporting photos after editing? - Help please!

    Hi all, first post and all that...
    I've recently started using lightroom 3, but i'm having trouble exporting my edited files.
    I've added the files to lightroom from their original location on my external hard drive, made neccesary adjustments, but i can't seem to then get copies of my edited photos.  I want to send them to someone, but when i go through the exporting process to a file on my desktop, they come out in their original unedited format.  I've worked out how to export to facebook/flickr, but they lose their size and quality this way.
    I'm sure this is a really simple question, so apologies, but if anyone could talk me through how i can duplicate and export my edited photos from lightroom to my desktop, that would be amazing!

    Highlight the images you wish to export.
    Ctrl-Shift-E to open the export dialog.
    Change the top drop-down list to Hard Drive.
    Choose a location for the files in the Export Location section.
    Adjust file naming if necessary.
    In the File Settings section make sure you have the correct output format selected and choose a quality (85 is fine for most things and keeps file size manageable).
    Make file size changes as appropriate in the Image Sizing section.
    If you are downsizing a lot then consider adding some output sharpening.
    Click Export.
    Hopefully that covers most things.

  • Merge multiple Aperture and iPhoto libraries into Photos?

    I have around 80GB of material in multiple Aperture libraries, and around 12GB of old material in iPhoto. Is it even sensible to think about holding all this data in Photos, and if so, how is it possible to import multiple libraries? The option to convert an existing library only seems available at first start-up, and is then limited to only one library.

    Yes it is practical - but you have to merge the libraries before converting libraries to Photos - Aperture can do that

  • Stretched photos after editing with photoshop CS5

    When I crop a photo with photoshop CS5 and then go and review it in Iphoto the picture looks like the unedited version in the "events" but when i double click on it it appears streteched. How do I fix this?
    Also, when I edit a photo with CS5 (for ex: cool a picture if it is too warm) then go to look at it in iphoto it looks like the unedited version and once I click on the photo I can see the edited version.

    The following is how Photoshop should be used from within iPhoto:
    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:  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.
