Badges on iPhoto images? Edited images? huh?

I am an Aperture newbie. There, I got it out right away.
I thought I had brought all my iPhoto images into the Aperture Library, but the iPhoto library appears as blue folders and albums in the Aperture Projects panel, and when I select an album, for instance, the image in the Browser and Viewer show a little tag icon (badge?) in the lower right and the metadata panel shows the master file is still in the iPhoto library.
Confusion-where is the master, really? and what are these duplicate images with the keyword "iPhoto Edited"?
I have read through the Getting Started manual and part of the full 400+ page pdf manual, no luck yet with this basic concept.

It's not really a curvy arrow-more like a vertical box, narrowing at the top, with two horizontal lines inside, and a string looking thing from the top, curving left and down. Appears as white on black, in the lower right corner of the image.
When I began using Aperture, I was sure I had brought in all my iPhoto library to live in the Aperture library, so it could back it all up with the Vault. I'll have to look at that consolidate option.
Now it makes more sense about the iPhoto edited, except the first batch of images I noticed this for, I had not touched in iPhoto other than to look at them once or twice, oh, aha, and named them, maybe that was the edit, giving them an iPhoto title.
Thanks! (PS-I tried to click 'helpful' on your message but that took me to a discussions error page)

IPhoto images missing in Edit window after importing iPhoto albums folder

A friend of mine with new macbook tried to import her iPhoto images from an external hardrive. She move it to her user photo album and then i believe she tried to point to it after launching iphoto. She told me there were some options windows popping up and she does not remember what they said but the current result is that many of her photos do not appear when she clicks on the thumb nails to edit them: said there is a grey field with a questin mark.
My thought was to somehow repoint to the file or dump the .plst file.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
todd

The question mark shows up when the link between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window loses the location of the file it points to.
The most common cause of this is User activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. 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.
As your friend now sees.
Unless your friend nows exactly what changes she has made, I'm afraid the best way to fix this is to start again, importing from your originals folder.
There are comprehensive instructions for moving the iPhoto Library Folder in the Help, or if you need more you can most on here.

Does iPhoto automatically edit my images straight from sd card BEFORE I import to iPhoto and edit myself?

HI, Hope you can help with my query. Does iPhoto automatically edit my images straight from my sd card BEFORE I import to iPhoto and edit myself?

My Photography teacher told me yesterday morning that my 'images levels ‘ are being changed by my iPhoto.
Just a couple of long shots, but there is an ever-so-slight possibility that what s/he's seeing is the result of changing the colour profile of the images? Adobe RGB to sRGB for instance? That would - or could - make the images seem a little different.
And, of course, if the images are Raws then there could also be a significant difference between the preview rendered in camera and the one rendered by iPhoto.
But in neither case would this mean the image has been edited in any way.

Transfer image from iPhoto to edit by Adobe 13

I loaded Adobe photoshop element 13 on Mac OS without any problem. After I loaded Adobe13 in iPhoto.
Now when I chose image in iPhoto to edit the Adobe 13 opened but NO IMAGE TRANSFER
How solve the problem?

- Open iPhoto and choose iPhoto >> Preferences.
- Select the General tab.
- Click the Edit Photo menu and select In Application.
Then navigate to:
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 13/Support Files/Photoshop Elements 13 Editor
Highlight the editor application (Photoshop Elements 13 Editor not Adobe Photoshop Elements 13) and click Open
Then close iPhoto Prefs.
You should now be able to edit normally from the iPhoto Library e.g.
Double-click to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in elements editor.

I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package? Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images. That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space. As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.

I am able to click on a picture in iPhoto to edit it opens automatically in photoshop cs6. However when i am done editing I can not save that image back into iPhoto. Can anyone help with a setting I am missing maybe?

I am able to click on a pic in iphoto to edit it and opens automatically in photoshop CS6. However when I am done editing and save I can not save back into Iphoto. Can any one help wiht this?

Thanks Terence. What a relief. I still don't understand what the book I read was talking about then. Here's a quote from the section I was referring to in "iPhoto 08: The Missing Manual" book, p 91 (ISBN: 0596-516185):
"Note, however, that the instant you edit a TIFF-format photo (Chapter 7), iPhoto converts it into JPEG.
That's fine if you plan to order prints or a photo book (Chapter 11) from iPhoto, since JPEG files are required for those purposes. But if you took that once-in-a-lifetime, priceless shot as a TIFF file, don't do any editing in iPhoto-don't even rotate it- if you hope to maintain its perfect, pristine quality."
After my test results, I thought maybe this was something that had changed from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09, so I went to the bookstore yesterday and checked the same book for iPhoto 09, and there it was, the same quote! (on a different page, of course).
Anyway, thanks once again for your confirmation that my test was indeed correct. Linda

Downsize iPhoto images & export them to a folder using Automator?

Please bear with me. I wasn't sure where to post this since I can't find an Automator string in the Discussions window. This is what I'd like to do. I'm making web site using iWeb and I love it. However, when dragging and dropping images into iWeb from the iPhoto media browser, it imports the original iPhoto image into iWeb and not the edited one. This seems stupid to me but there it is. So as some have suggested I thought I'd grab and album and have all the photos in it downsized to 800x(constrained proportion). Can Automator do this? When i poke around in the iPhoto actions in Automator I don't see much. I've searched AutomatorWorld also and can't find anything there. Am I being dim about this?

Benjamin
I can't help you with Automator, but there is an Automator forum under the Mac OS X 10.4 folder, where I'm sure they'll help.

How do I hide the stacks badge overlays on images in the browser?

In View > Metadata Display > Show metadata is off, but the badge (with the number in the stack) is still visible.

On
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=11%26se ction=9%26tasks=true
is explained how to show them;
To display badge overlays on images in the Browser in grid view
Do one of the following:The Browser & Viewer Metadata dialog appears.
Choose View > Metadata Display > Customize (or press Command-J).
In the tool strip, choose Edit from the Metadata Overlays pop-up menu.
Choose a Browser Grid View metadata overlay view from the View pop-up menu.
In the Metadata Fields column, click the Aperture disclosure triangle to reveal the metadata fields below it, then select the Badges checkbox.
Click OK.
Make sure both Show Metadata and the metadata overlay view you just modified are selected for the Browser in the Metadata Overlays pop-up menu in the tool strip.
Badge overlays are now visible in the Browser.
You can turn off the display of badge overlays in the Browser by turning off the display of metadata. For more information, see Turning the Display of Metadata On or Off.
But I don't understand; In the tool strip, choose Edit from the Metadata Overlays pop-up menu.

Deleting iPhoto images

I am using iphoto 11. I have quoted my issues from a discussion in Nov 2010.
They describe exactly what I am dealing with, but I didn't see a solution.
***Yes, I emptied the iphoto trash.
After emptying the trash, I can still see the pictures by doing a search for the name of the picture (ie dsc_0127) and when I do that, I can see that the picture is still listed in a folder. User>Pictures>iPhoto Library>Originals>2010>June, 22 2010>DSC_0127***
I am using Elements 12 as an external and it can open images I have deleted from the recently used files list so I know they are somewhere and I want them off my computer never to bee seen again!!!
Can anyone tell me how to find these images another way than the first quote above. I have done searches in pictures and iphoto. I have deleted the events in iphoto and then deleted the trash and searched in them in the iphoto individual pictures.
I have both an original and modified file in the place quoted above. However, I have been told these are actually alias files and these photos are actually somewhere else.
***It is critical that you NEVER go into the iPhoto library and delete (or change) anything - doing so will corrupt your library and cause you to lose data***
I am ashamed to say I did just as the quote above says NOT to do. I did this with 2 images, then read how I may have corrupted my library.

Are you using PSE 12 from within iPhoto and the external editor? If so then are you using is in this manner:
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 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
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.

How to get IOS 5 iphoto images to photostream?

i am using an IPAD2 and am having trouble getting my edited IOS 5 iphoto images to upload to the photo stream.
To be more specific, here is what I am looking to do:
I am looking to upload my camera photos directly to my Ipad and then editing them with iphoto, and then having them backup to my photo stream. however, i cannot seem to get my edited photos to appear in photo stream.
This has prompted another question of mine: is icloud and photostream the same thing? or is photo stream separate of icloud? My Ipad backs up to iCloud every night and i'm not sure what is backing up, and then i also use PhotoStream (or trying to). Which is the true way to backup photos?
Thank you!

Greetings,
To make an edited image go to Photo Stream you need to share that image to the camera roll as detailed here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.0/#blnkee26bc1f. This can only be done 1 image at a time. If you would like to see the ability to send multiple images to the camera roll at the same time, let Apple know: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html
Photo Stream is part of iCloud. Learn more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
Learn about your iCloud backup and what it contains here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
Note: Photo Stream is not a backup. It is a way to make the last 1000 images consistent across multiple devices (as detailed in article HT4486 above). Make sure you have Photo Stream setup on a computer so that your images and imported to that computer or import your images directly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Hope that information is helpful.

Help: import iphoto images into FCE

Hi, Jake here. Hope you're all doing well....
I just bumped up from iMovie 06 to FCE. Loving it so far, but still overwhlemed by the learning curve.
Today's big question is how to best import a series of photos from iPhoto into FCE. I will be mixing photos & videos for most of my projects. I have tried these two things so far:
1) Dragged & dropped from iphoto directly onto the FCE timeline. Image looks very blurry.
2) Exported at max JPEG quality from iphoto to a location on my hard drive. Then imported file into FCE, then placed on timeline. It's every bit as blurry.
Both images have a green line above them, indicating a preview render?? I don't get it, but I just know photos weren't blurry in the store when the Mac guys showed this to me a couple weeks ago.
So what is the easiest way to do this? I want to import photos quickly & easily, then add effects & movement, but I can't believe that Apple has made it so cumbersome. I imagine I am missing something here. Please advise.
Thanks!
Jake

I think Jake did everything correctly but is expecting too much from a DV format.
I repeated the same with a 2304 × 1736 (4 megapixel) image and I got the same:
- dragging a Photo JPEG image (square pixels) to a DV (PAL or NTSC) sequence requires rendering: I get the same green render bar on top
- in addition the resolution loss from 2304 × 1736 to 720x480 (or 720x576) makes the image blurry
If you compare the iPhoto image and the imported image in the viewer (not in the timeline) you see basically the same quality; but the same image already converted into the timeline is blurry.
I'm afraid Jake has to live with this or move to HD. In any case iMovie could do no better than FCE.
My suggestion in any case is always to check the final quality of the movie, during editing, on an interlaced monitor (TV) connected through firewire and a D/A converter (e.g. camcorder): mostly for still images.

I upgraded to Maverick O/S and I can no longer right click on iPhoto images to find my photo files. My photo files are not where they were before upgrade.

TS3195 My mac mini (Snow Leopard, v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone 4, iphone 4s or ipad2 in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview but it does in iTunes. I am at a loss for importing photos, short of emailing them. Glitch with OS X 10.6.8 ?

My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does. I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.

I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes.

Where will i find iphoto images in my backup

ok so i backed up my macbook pro but can't seem to find my iphoto images. there isn't the option to search for all pictures like there would be on the mac and when i click on the iphoto icon in my pictures folder it just brings up a box and tells me how many kb it is.
i've looked everywhere but can't see it and don't want to download mavericks till i'm sure i have everything i need backed up (just in case)

Make a note of the size of the iPhoto library in your Time Machine backups.
Close Time Machine
Click the Finder icon at the lower left of the dock on the Mac's screen
Open the Pictures folder
Click on the iPhoto Library to highlight it
Click the gear icon above the window and click Get Info
Note the size of the iPhoto library
The size of your iPhoto library should match the size of the iPhoto library in your Time Machine backups
Assuming that is the case, your iPhoto library is backed up
