Blur photos in Finder coverflow

My image files are JPG and TIF with blur in Finder.
My RAW images look sharp though.
What's the problem? Know the solution?
Best wishes.
thanks
Franci

How noticeable the difference is depends on what you're using for a monitor profile. If it's sRGB (or the supplied profile is basically the same color space), you won't see much change. Use a wider gamut profile like Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB and it sticks out like a sore thumb.
You can see it happen just by doing this. Blues are the most obvious. Put a copy of the App Store or Safari application on the desktop. Now grab the copy with mouse and start to move it. You'll see that even drag image under the mouse cursor is wrong.

Oversaturated photos in Finder Coverflow

I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and noticed that all photos/pictures shown in Finder Coverflow is oversatured. This was not a problem in Snow Leopard. Probably, someone forgot to assign a spesific color space to it in Mountain Lion. Although it's not a major bug, I still consider it a major flaw. I'm a photographer and I do rely on the software to be consistent from creation to delivery. The way it is now, I always get a bit hesitant whenever I go through the finished photos in Finder Coverflow just check it's the right files for delivery and suchs.. quite a pain in the ***
Are there any fixes or tips to correct this?

Mavericks Finder Coverflow Gets Lost

I have upgraded to Mavericks, and I am having trouble with Coverflow in the Finder. When I delete files it gets lost, showing previews of files that are not the ones that are highlighted. The spacebar preview seems to work, showing me the actual contents, but the coverflow view is for a different file. Also, if there is a long list of files in the folder, it cannot display the files further down the list.
I was in the middle of a large project, going through thousands of photos in finder, when I upgraded. I had the perfect workflow, using coverflow, and it worked flawlessly in Lion. It seems this got boken in the update.
Any suggestions?

Hi gapch125!
Thank you for posting about your PowerShot A2300!
If the subjects are moving, they may be moving out of the area being focused on. You may want to try using Servo AF for moving subjects. Please follow these steps:
Press the MENU button.
Choose [Servo AF].
Choose [On].
The focus and exposure are maintained where the blue AF frame is displayed while you are pressing the shutter button down halfway.

My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone. Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account. I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own. How do I separate the accounts without one of us losing our own stuff?

Decide which device will be changing accounts. On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

How do i move photos from finder to iphoto?

Hello gerryfromchatham
All you need to do is select the photos and then drag and drop them on top of iPhoto to import them in.

Photos tells me it is connecting to Library for shared photos. It's been saying this for about ten hours. I can't stop it from searching or get it to do anything else. I can go back to my photos but I can't get Photos to find the shared items.

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

Can't open Photos in Finder

I cannot open my photos in finder...
because I can't open them in finder, I can't open them with any other program.
Any ideas as to why, or how I can fix this?
Thank you!

With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
There is no version of iPhoto were it was recommended that you access the files via the Finder. On the contrary, each version has recommended that users do not access the iPhoto Library Folder. There are no user serviceable parts there.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Any of these are a:faster and b: safer than rooting through the Finder.
Remember: 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

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

Blurred photos in imoview slideshow

I am making a slide show in imovie (version 10.04). Each photo displays for 4 seconds. 3 of about 60 photos appear blurred. However when I hit the spacebar to freeze the movie the blurred photo goes back into focus. Can you help me ensure the photo is in focus ?

Photos cannot find the system photo library

I’m in trouble. I was deleting photos in ‘pictures’ as I wanted to clean up some space on my iMac. My assumption was that ‘pictures' is completely separate to iPhoto (or photos as it is now called). I then go back into photos (the old iPhoto) and get the message 'photos cannot find the system photo library’.
I cannot access any photos at all. I’m working on a large project this weekend and I have purchased hundreds of photos over the last 6 months which I require for the project. Blood pressure boiling at the moment!
Any help please

You absolute genius. When I pressed alt and photos it gave me the option to open the ‘old version’ of iPhoto!!
Just so I don’t mess up again. How do I now get the old iPhotos back into photo?
I did try to look on my time capsule but when I viewed the last back up from this morning, there was no photo in the sidebar to even open?
I’m new to the forum. I did call Apple but probably not wise for me to articulate on this forum what they said!
The iPhoto migration to Photos would have been automatic when you upgraded - there is presumably a way to kickstart that again though I'm not certain how as I've not done so.
If you have a Time Capsule that's great.
I'll see if I can get some others to chip in.
Also, if you can still open iPhoto you can of course continue to use that for the time being.
