Batch edit in iPhoto 6

I have 200 photos that I shot today, all in the same environment with the same lens. I shot these in RAW and I need to enhance them and than sharpen them. Is it possible to enhance and sharpen all the photos in an album in one or two steps instead of editing each individual photo? If so, please tell me how.

I don't know about applying the same edit to all simultaneously but you can select up to 8 photos and double click on one of the and open all 8 in the edit window. Then you can apply edits to each one before clicking on done. That will speed it up some.

  • Batch editing in Iphoto

    I have 2 different makes of camera which I take on holiday.When I transfer the photos into iphoto they have different prefixes on the filename as a result of being different makes.Is there anyway I can batch edit these photos to make Iphoto recognise the date and time they were taken in order that they can be viewed in chronological order?
    I know that you can do it manually by changing each individual file name but it takes forever.Ive tried using the Namechanger app but all that seemed to do was alter the metadata resulting in me being unable to drag the photos out of iphoto causing me to have to do a time machine restore of the entire library.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated

    I do not understand, why it is necessary to change the filenames to be able to view the photos in chronological order?
    Have the cameras not been set to the same time? You can correct that by selecting all photos for each camera and using the command "Photos > Adjust date and time".
    Once all photos are using the same time base, you can ad them to an album and arrange the album by date; this way the photos will be shown in chronological order.
    Once you have the photos in an album in chronological order you can rename the versions using the command "Photos > Batch change   > Set title to text" and enable to append a number. Then all photos will be named consistently. To change the original filenames you would have to export the images again and use the titles a filenames, but that should not be necessary.

  • Iphoto batch edit keyboard command not working

    Using Lion 10.7 Iphoto 11 I find that the shift+cmd+B keyboard shortcut ( Batch Edit ) is no longer working on multiple or single photos.
    Help from anyone pls....
    Thx,

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Is there a way to do batch watermark within iPhoto?

    I often upload my photos to pBase using the excellent iPhoto2pBase plugin. But due to the growing issue of photo thefts on the web, I would like to watermark them first. After doing a search on this site, I found recomendations for iWatermark. It's a pretty cool little program but unfortunately it is a standalone and in order to use its batch processing feature, I have to export my photos out of iPhoto, do the watermarking and then re-import them.
    I can set set iWatermark as the external editor for iPhoto but that would only allow one photo at a time to be watermarked. Does anyone know of a way to "batch watermark" within iPhoto?
    Thanks for any help.
    Bo

    Bo:
    What do you want to use the watermarked images for? If it's to upload to a site or use in another application, then iWatermark can mark the files in the folder you selected, resize them if needed and then save to a folder on the desktop for use. If that workflow will work for you then iWatermark will do the job.
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    not for "batch editing"
    You can set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences. iPhoto has the capability to directly interface with any external editor - simply go to the iPhoto preferences (iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> General and set the Edit photo option to in external editor - select the desired external editor and you are set - now when you edit photos they are sent to the selected external editor and when you are finished editing you save (not save as) and the edited photo is returned to iPhoto, the original is maintained in iPhoto and the iPhoto database is correctly updated.
    If you want the option of editing in either iPhoto or the external editor after selecting your external editor simply set the edit in back to main window - now when you right click (control Click) on a photo you will get a menu which allows you to select either.

  • Batch edit photos coming from iPhone 4s

    I use iPhoto and iCloud to gather and organize photos taken with my new iPhone 4s. It works really well apart from the fact that when compared to pictures taken with my DSLR the iPhone photos are too "warm". I would like to make a standard adjustement of the temperature for all photos coming from the iPhone. Is there a way to do this in iPhoto, with a batch edit f.i.? If not, are there other tools that can help? I would like to keep the workflow as simple as possible. All suggestions are welcome.

  • How do I batch edit potos for contrast,sharpness,etc or permanently change the settings?

    How do I batch edit photos for contrast,sharpness,etc or permanently change those settings?

    There a 3rd party application, iPhoto Batch Enhancer, that can batch enhance, change contrast or crop. That's all. 
    However, once you establish the adjustments to one photo you can copy it via the Edit menu:
    and then move to the next photo with the forward arrow and paste those adjustments in the next photo.

  • Metadata changes and batch editing

    Has anyone figured out how to batch edit the photos in your library or change the metadata? Everything is very organized by date and location and if this information is wrong from older photos it REALLY throws everything off. Any suggestions?
    Thanks guys for your help!

    Re: can I no longer batch edit photo meta data?!in response to Nickholl
    You can select several photos at once and add keywords, but not the same title to several photos at once.
    You can copy the adjustments from one photo to all selected photos.
    You can adjust the time of several selected photos at once.
    But that's it
    It is one more reason to keep iPhoto ready to prepare photos before importing to photos.

  • How can I get all options under edit in iPhoto to appear and revert in red, the only option it gives me is to select multiple

    how can I get all options under edit in iPhoto on my phone to appear it has revert in red on theleft side & done on the right side, the only choice it gives me is select multiple

    The usual cause of that issue is a corrupted or missing font that Firefox replaces by another, in this case a bold, font.
    As a test you can try to disable the default font and choose a few different fonts (Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman) to see if you can identify the culprit.<br />
    you will have to reinstall that corrupted font.

  • Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • How to edit external iPhoto Library pictures with an external editor?

    That's my question.
    I have my iPhoto Library on an external HD and I want to modify my pics with PSE 11. I've set my iPhoto prefs to do this but it just doesn't work. When I click on "edit with an externale editor" PSE 11 opens but doesn't show the picture, why is that?

    The file  you want to select is in the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10/Suport Files folder:
    It should be the same for the earlier version of PSE as I recall.
    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.

  • Editing using iPhoto '08

    I have iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. I changed my preferences for editing from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements 6 and now I think that was a mistake. How do I re-set my preferences for editing photos to iPhoto and only using Elements 6 as a backup? Thanks

    I get the same result when editing a file of 5.5 or similar size, it is only in raw format that I loose so much file size. I will shoot mostly in large jpeg size from now on, but I have a photo shoot already done in raw and I am trying to get it to my client.
    Yes it does say RAW on the lower right corner of the screen, the file info is also at 13.5 mb.
    Ug, is all I can say!

    I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.
