Batch enhance photos in iphoto

Is there any way to enhance (exposure, quick fixes, etc) mulitple photos at once in iphoto? I have thousands of pictures that need to be adjusted and don't have time to edit them one by one. I have the latest update on iphoto11 9.4.1
Thanks for any ideas.

Batch Emailing Photos in iPhoto '08

Hello
Emailing a photo or two is cake, as long as having the photo inline in the email is ok. If I wanted to send a batch of photos, say 30 and wanted them 'packaged' in a folder instead of inline in the message, what would be the simplest way of doing this?
In my world, I would have a means of duplicating, making web/mail ready, and then move them to a folder for attaching to email .... something along those lines anyway.
Any thoughts please.

TD .... LN, thank you both.
I did find the export function and have been playing with it to get an 'optimum' size package to email.
After my OP I experimented with the export settings using lower quality and size settings and can get a reasonable file size of 7 to 15 MB - still a bit large but doable. These I hadn't compressed - did this btwn my OP and return here.
For discussion purposes, I have 37 photos to email. If I select them and export 'original' I wind up with a folder 141.6 MB in size. Compressed it is still 140.8 MB. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need some special compression utility?
Thanks again.

Possible to Adjust Enhance Photo?

Aloha, quick question. Is there anyway (including using the terminal) to adjust the amount of enhancement when hitting the enhance photo tool? (iPhoto 6.0.5) Mahalo in advance for any/all tips suggestions.. JB

Mahalo for the reply, I have Elements, as well as CS2, however I want to be able to adjust the enhance photo in iPhoto for quick fixes when needed. The enhance over does everything, so it's function isn't very usable in a pinch.

When ordering large batch of photos - "transferring" seemed slow. I hit cancel. Did I lose my order? When I try to "buy photos" again it says "connecting" but doesn't seem to connect...

When I tried to order large batch of photos in iPhoto - it seemed to get stuck halfway through. I hit "cancel". When I tried to "buy" photos again... it never seemed to connect. Did I lose my order? Is it half-uploaded somewhere and I need to "resume" upload? Or do I need to start all over again with the order?

You might want to download something called an undelete utility. These can find files and recover them even after they appear to have been lost. There are some undelete utility programs that are free. Look at tucows.com
Also, it appears that you have POSSIBLY overwritten the actual files, which you moved manually, with I don't know what, which you moved in PSE's folder location view.
Next, in the future ... NEVER (that's: don't even think about it) move your photos in Windows. NEVER. NEVER. Not ever. Not once. This always (that's ALWAYS, as in 100% of the time) causes problems and usually makes things difficult to fix.
Lastly ... make regular backups! I must say this in the forums about seventy bazillion times a month. Make regular backups! Regular depends on how often you take photographs and edit them. Since my photographic activity usually happens on the weekends, I make backups every Sunday night. You may need a different schedule, depending on your activity level. MAKE REGULAR BACKUPS!

In iPhoto, can I remove selected batches of photos from my iPhone?

In iPhoto, can I remove selected batches of photos from my iPhone 4S?

Only if they are in the Photo Stream. Pictures in the Camera Roll have to be deleted from the iPhone.

I accidentally touched the auto enhance icon in iPhoto and now the program is stuck at "Updating photo." How do I make it stop?

I accidentally touched the auto enhance icon in iPhoto and now the program is stuck at "Updating photo." How do I make it stop?

Try to quit iPhoto from the Home Screen - the recent app section.:
Double click the Home button to reveal the recently used apps.
Then tap and hold on the iphoto for ios icon until it wiggles. It will show a "minus" sign in the corner.
Now tap the minus sign to quit the app.
Click the screen above the row of recent apps to return it to normal.
Now restart iPhoto and see if it back to normal.

Will Apple add the "Batch Change" option from iPhotos into Photos?

Will Apple add the "Batch Change" option from iPhotos into Photos? It appears to be a major complaint across the board and a severe limitation. I see complaints about this all through the forum. Apple?

We have no idea. But to help them make that decision tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

Enhanced photos missing!

I imported, enhanced and titled a batch of photos. I attempted to upload them to a website. I brought up my photos from the Finder but ONLY the original, unenhanced, untitled photos exist (besides the thumbnails). In iPhoto, the photos in question are there! What gives?
Thanks,
Ryan

Walabio:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you saying if you enhance a photo in iPhoto with the enhance tool the edit does not get saved and the modified photo file, when examined via the Finder and an image view, is the same as the original file?
I've used that tool on a couple of test shots and then examined both the original and modified files with Photoshop and the modified file definitely shows the enhancement. It's not dramatic but is represented by a general lightening of the image. I think the Adjust panel would do a better job but with a G3 it won't be available to you.
All I can suggest is the usual maintenance procedures, repair permissions, clean out user caches and run the cron maintenance scripts ( you can use OnyX for the cache and cron scripts).

How to create workflow to existing photos in IPHOTO and to future imports.

I have Macbook, ILIFE08, Leopard and use IPHOTO for editing. I would like to adjust the grayscale(0%-100%) up to 2% and down to 98% on existing pictures(in IPHOTO Library) in one operation, and every time during future imports(from my camera) Could I achieve this in the IPHOTOprogram itself? Or perhaps the automator could help. I tried to figure out a way by using the latter method without success.
Desperate houseman

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto Batch Enhancer does not offer that sort of editing. There's no way that I know of to do it while the photos are in iPhoto.
Well, that may not be true. You might be able to setup a batch edit with GraphicConverter to do that particular edit on each folder within the iPhoto Library package. I don't think you could do the entire library at once however. Also the thumbnails would not reflect this change in the originals. HOWEVER, I would make a backup copy of the library before trying this in case something goes awry.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I have applied a description to photos in iPhoto. When I burn the CD, the description is not included. I used to do this with an older version of iPhoto. Am I doing something wrong?

I have been organizing my photos in iPhoto and have written descriptions for them. In the past, with an older version of iPhoto, I would burn a CD. When I would put the CD back in my computer, the description would also be on the CD. Now, I am burning the CD's and there is no record of the description. This is very important as I want the information stored with the photos, both for my own reference, but also if something would happen to me my family would know who are in the photos and what the occasions were. Is there some way I can do this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Ok, sorry! I created an album with the photos I wanted to burn. I gave them new titles, sometimes using batch change when appropriate, otherwise individually. I then clicked on info and in the area labeled description I gave each photo a brief description. When I was done, I went to Share and clicked on burn. When prompted I inserted a blank CD-R in my external CD/DVD burner (which I need to use as my internal one has been replaced twice in less than a year and I was sick of spending $150.00 each time). When it was loaded I clicked the burn button at the bottom of iPhoto. When it was completed I reinserted it into the external CD/DVD burner/reader to see if it was successful. The photos all came up with the new title in my iPhoto library. When I click on info button, there is no description. The information about the date and place where the photo was taken is there, just not the description that I personally included.
I have not tried exporting the photos to finder and then burning as they suggest doing if you want the CD to be readable on Windows program, but I never had to do that with my old iPhoto program, so did not know if that would make a difference.
I can't think of any other information you might need, but if I missed something let me know and I will try to include it. Thanks for your interest in helping!

TS1501 transferring a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro (this way you can upload one album at a time, file them into a new album on macbook pro) Pls. advise.

How can I transfer a small batch of photos from the new ipad to macbook pro? In theory, I should be able to keep my albums together this way (once uploaded to macbook pro, i can easily file them into a new album on macbook pro.) Not working for me! Macbook pro does include iphoto. I had no problem uploading ALL photos (3 or 4,000.) Help! Goal is to keep albums together.

Hi all,
Goal: Backing up photos!
Hope: Transfer ALBUMS from ipad to external drive (via macbook pro)
Is this possible? Or will I have to create a file name for each of my thousands of photos?
UGH!
HELP!

Can't add any more photos to iPhoto 09

This is a strange one. I've been using iPhoto for years, have 19,164 photos contained within a 134GB iphoto database.
Yesterday I was adding about 350 new photos to iphoto, all Nikon RAW format from a D700. Everything was imported fine, I created an event, did some basic enhancements, crops, etc, and then created a shared gallery on MobileMe. So far so good.
Then I closed iPhoto. Went back in later and the entire event was missing. All the photos are gone, except the MobileMe Gallery is still there as a folder (with nothing in it). The Last Import folder is also empty. I checked the mobileme web gallery address through Safari and the pics are still online.
(btw, I can't simply copy them back from the web gallery because I'm looking for the original NEFs (raw) files and the ones online are JPGs.
I figured this was a job for TimeMachine to solve, so I had the TimeMachine backup from approximately the time I finished entering them and I re-installed my iPhoto database overnight. When I opened iPhoto this morning, there was still nothing there.
Even though I had done several hours of post processing, I resolved to the fact that I would simply have to reinstall the original RAW files from the CompactFlash cards and start from scratch. The problem is that now whenever I import photos into iPhoto, whenever I close it and reopen it again, whatever I added is missing. I can't seem to add anything into iPhoto that will last past me closing the application.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Jmac
The next thing

This sounds like a corrupted database.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Can't import photos into iPhoto-- it sees them but won't import

I've been using iPhoto with my Mac Mini for almost a year now without a single issue (that's the main reason I bought a mac). I believe I have iPhoto 08 (I bought the computer 1 year ago). I have a newer Canon point-and-shoot that I've been using. About 1 month ago I did a software update to iPhoto, so it's pretty much up to date.
Everything has been fine for almost a year, then all the sudden, iPhoto hangs when I try to import my latest batch of photos. It will pull them into the import preview window (I can see all of them), but when I try to "Import All" it just hangs. I have to turn off the camera just to get the program to unfreeze (after patiently waiting a few minutes). For some odd reason, just 1 of the 70 photos makes it in (there are a few videos, but they won't import either).
Here's the error message:
Unreadable Files: 69
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).

Any ideas? I'm desperate because there's some wonderful picks of our kids on there that I don't want to lose.
Thanks a bunch

It’s part of the basic install of OS X. So unless you deleted it then it’s there in your apps folder. If you have deleted it, it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. You will be able to extract the installation package using Pacifist.
Alternatively, if you’re using almost any camera +apart from a Canon+ then the camera card is visible on the desktop and you can drag the movie to the desktop using the Finder and import from there.
No matter what camera you use, if you pop the card from it into a USB Card Reader then it will be accessible via the Finder. Card Readers are inexpensive and all round a better idea.
Why use a Card Reader?
Because it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
Because it saves the battery on your camera
Because it saves wear and tear on your camera ports
Because it’s almost always faster.

Deleting photos from iPhoto trash crashes iPhoto

I've been a bit remiss in deleting photos from iPhoto trash and now when I attempt to delete the 6379 photos in there it crashes iPhoto. I have tried the right click on the trash in the left menu bar and also the "iPhoto" > Empty Trash. How can I get rid of these photos?

This will happen if you try and delete that many shots from iphoto at one go. We generally recommend that you empty the trash in batches of 100 or so at a time.

Changing the date on photos in Iphoto.

How can you change the date on your photos without iphoto creating a "range" between the wrong date and the updated "new" date? I just want ONE correct date on my photos but when I alter the info under edit and i - it creates a "range" date like 1/2009-7/2011 and i just want 7/2011.

If you want all of the photos to have the same date with maybe 1 or 5 seconds between them use the File ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option.
