Are imported photo's duplicated in other photo software?

I have my digital camera set up to import to iPhoto, where I categorize, make albums, etc. Sometimes I use Image Browser, ACDSee or Canon EOS Viewer to access my photos as well.
Are these other programs pulling the photos from iPhoto's library? In other words, if I am in Canon's EOS Viewer and decide to delete a photo, will it be deleted from iPhoto as well? It doesn't seem to be happening and was wondering how to handle it.
I've only been a Mac user for a year and am still trying to figure things out. And since I have a new Canon 20D with HUGE picture files, I want to make sure the blurred shots are completely deleted from the computer no matter what photo program I use.
Thanks, Sandy

That would be a big NO NO (see Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder). I don't know if it will delete it, as you're not sure it can, but the only way to delete a photo from the library without damaging the library is to do it from within iPhoto. Do your culling from within iPhoto!
If your other applications are searching the iPhoto Library folder to display the photos then they are not making a copy, only using the file that resides in that folder.

What is actually happenning when we are importing a class of some other pac

Sirs,
I have a doubt which is very basic to java,
I want to import a class say "HashMap" to my class.
If i put import "java.util.HashMap" or "import java.util.*;"
Which will be better ?
If i put "import java.util.*; " will it affect the performance?

Many of your questions of this nature can be quickly answered by a search of prior posts to the forums, like this:

Where are imported photos saved, during a iTunes sync with IOS devices?

When i sync my iPhone/iPad, on one of the steps it says importing photos.
Are these photos being transfered form my iPad to my PC, or the other way around?

They are being synced from your computer to your iPad - you can specify which photos that you want to sync to your iPad via the Photos tab : syncing photos.
If you want to copy photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites to your computer then it's done outside of iTunes : photos to computer.

Why are imported photos so fuzzy?

Photos that were crystal clear on my 3S are fuzzy on my 4S. All imported from my IMAC. Why do you suppose that is?

I guess you mean iPhone 3GS when you say "3S".
The iPhone 4S has a whole lot better, clearer display than the 3GS did. So I would expect a mediocre resolution photo that showed up OK on a 3GS might deteriorate a bit regarding how it looks on a 4S.

Problem importing photos into LR1 library (Mac).

I just downloaded the trial copy to see if I would like LR1 better than Aperture and I can't seem to be able to add photos or folders to an existing library. The only options I have when importing (from existing folder, CD, CF card, etc.) are:
"Import Photos at their Current Location"
"Copy photos to a new location and Import"
"Move photos to a new location and Import"
"Move photos as Digital Negative (DNG) and Import"
I believe I *should* have an option to add to the library (I've seen screenshots of it).
So as a test, I added a folder of images manually (from the import window), restarted, launched Lightroom and the folder was gone (even though it's still in the "Lightroom" folder where the database is.
I've tried to create different libraries, held the option key while launching, looked at the preferences, in the forums, help files, etc. to no avail.
I've also tried installing it on my MacBook Pro and PowerMac G5 ( 10.4.8 ) also to no avail. Removed it and re-installed. I don't understand.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

I believe I *should* have an option to add to the library (I've seen screenshots of it).
I'm not sure I understand your question, since I don't recall the screenshot you mention. However, I like to add photos to my library w/o creating a new folder, too.
Here's an example of how I do this with my Nikon photos:
1. I already have some photos in my library. One folder is labeled Nikon, where I put my D80 photos (all of them, so far).
2. When I hook my camera/memory card to the computer, I manually drag the images to that folder on my drive called "Nikon". This is the same folder I have imported into LR previously.
3. Start LR, Select "Import", and migrate to and select that same folder ("Nikon", in my case).
4. LR will tell you that it is not importing certain files, because they're already in the library. Click OK and LR will import the other, new files into the same "Nikon" folder (in my example).
Voila! ..no new folders in LR, just more photos.:)
Obviously, I've set LR's preferences to "Do nothing" when a memory card/camera is detected.
If I missed your point, sorry for the distraction.

I just got the new photoshop 13. I started to import photos and each picture buts up to each other. there is no info under it and when I edit it there is no expand button next to the picture to expand the version set. How do I change this?

IPhoto imports photos with wrong dates even if the dates are fine on the camera

Hi!
When I import photos with iPhoto, sometimes it imports them with wrong dates, even the dates are fine on the camera. It puts dates such as 2032. Does anyone know how can I fix that. As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Thanks!

well that is very confusing since if the date is correct on the camera it will be correct in iPhoto
and as to
As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Try looking through your iPhto menus - two commands - adjust time and date and batch change time and date - asjust is used to correct incorrect dates like a comera setting - Batch change for missing dates like with scans

When I try to connect my iPhone to my laptop to import photos and videos it says there are no files or folders under "Apple Iphone". My laptop recognises my phone and my camera roll has around 300 photos and videos but none of them come up on my laptop?

The memory on my Phone is really bad so i cant store much. The pictures i am trying to import are really important and i cant lose them. My phone has been playing up a lot and im afraid of losing the pictures so tried to import them onto my laptop. Its a windows 8 and every time i connect my iphone a window automatically opens titled "Apple iphone" but underneath it says "no files or folders". How can i resolve this?
Also the apple store have told me not updating may be causing problems but i cant update due to no space. i have 3 apps, around 300 photos/videos and no music. it is 16gb so i dont know why im having this problem

This is how you import photos/videos:

Is that what you're doing?

How can I import photos from photo stream to windows photo gallery? These photos are not on the camera roll on my iPad but are from another iPad on the same iCloud account.

I work at a Learning Center that has 12 iPads on the same iTunes and iCloud account. Each classroom uses an iPad assigned to their room to take photos. Each of these photos then shows up in the Photo Stream in all 11 of the other iPads. I have no trouble importing photos that are in the Camera Roll of any individual iPad, but I have not been able to import photos from the Photo Stream if the picture was not taken on the specific iPad I am using. It is not feasible for me to collect all 12 iPads everyday to import everyones photos, so how can I use one "master" iPad that will let me import photos from the Photo Stream since it has all the photos that everyone has taken?

You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC? I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC. What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.) Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them. Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos.

Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!
Regards
Susan

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

Very important Photo of last visit with Grandpa before his passing and others gone can you help me please?

I accidentally cut photo's from an event instead of copy but I posted in a new event. I closed the new event and opened it back up. when I opened up the new event my photo's were all there. I copied the photo's from new event to put back into original old event. It wouldn't allow me to paste in the old event. SO I thought I must of not clicked copy like I thought so I went back to copy and my new event and all the photos disappeared. There is no backup found on itunes, no recovery software has recovered it. We've looked in the show package contents area of the iphoto in Finder. The event or pictures are no where to be found. These pictures were taken from my iphone and I imported them to iphoto a while back. I have not backed up the pictures becuase I don't know how. I've never had this issue and an event and photo's shouldn't just disappear like they never happened. There are 25 photos total but about 5 of them are most important to me. I've tried running a backup recovery of my phone with software and on the computer and only thing they find is photo's I already know where they are. If you have any suggestions help info please let me know. Thanks

I just performed the rebuild. It put a bunch of empty folders into my library that I had deleted in the past. But no where is the one folder that I had made yesterday with my 25 photos. I checked the orginial folder that I took them from and not there. It's odd that it's like they never exisited. So broken hearted. The last photo I had with my husband and I in it with his grandpa before he died is gone. Unless there is a way to get it off a back up on my phone somewhere. All of my photos' are backed up from my PC but nothing since owning this computer. cause this itunes icloud time machine stuff has me confused but will have to get the pictures printed and burned that I do have. That's what I was working on yesterday when this happened. Chose my first 25 I wanted to print and lost them and I"m afraid to touch the others now.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library. I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one. They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device." I hadn't touched the camera. The message came by itself. I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit. Opening it back up, the pictures were gone. Can somebody help me?

What version of iPhoto are you running? Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
