Bringing photos in from PC

Hi,
I've been using ACDSee under Windows XP and now have a shiny new IMac with the latest Apperture2.
I've got importing down as far as images go, but not as far as keywords. I can export and import keyworded photos to ACDSee and have the "embedded" keywords in place. But I've not been able to get any keywords in Aperture.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

open the Keywords HUD, click the Import button
at the "Keywords" window navigate to your keyword list file and click Open, this'll import your list

  • How to bring photos in from scanner to pSE 12.

    I just downloaded the PSE 12, and I am seeing that I am unable to scan images directly into PSE 12.  How do I accomplish this?

    HI,  Me again,  I went to hard drive to install twain and I clicked on support files, then optional plug-ins, and there is
    no import-export file in there.  The TWAIN. plugin says"could not complete request because photoshop elements does not recognize this type of file".  Now what the heck do I do.  Soooo very frustrated..  What am I doing wrong?
    I am not good at this stuff, and have sooooo much work to accomplish. Help please.

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • How can I bring my photo library from my desktop or external HDrive into aperture itself

    Good morning,
    How can I bring my photolibrary from the desctop or external harddrive into Aperture itself?

    Marcus,
    is the Aperture version on your new Mac Aperture 3.5.1?
    the contents of aperture on to a external drive
    Is that your old Aperture library? Does it look like this?
    If it is an Aperture library, that you copied to your Desktop, click it to open it in Aperture. Aperture should update/upgrade it to your current Aperture version. What happens, when you try?
    If it is not an Aperture library, but a folder of referenced images files, search for your old Aperture library and transfer that to your new mac.
    Do you already have an Aperture library on your new mac and want to import/ merge your old library into it? Then You first need to let Aperture upgrade the old library to your current Aperture  version, before you can import and merge the library with "File > Import > LIbrary".
    Could you perhaps post a screen capture of what you are now having on your Desktop? And any exact error messages that you might get, when you are trying to open your Aperture library?

  • Screensaver won't automatically bring up picture from my iphoto since I switched to Mountain Lion.  Any suggestions on how to get it to work.  My photos are located on an external hard drive that I keep connected to my laptop.

    My screensaver won't automatically bring up pictures from my iphoto albums as it always did in the past since I installed Mountain Lion.  I do use an external hard drive to save all my pictures and music on that is always connected to my MacBookPro.  Any suggestions what I may be doing wrong.  I find it frustrating to have to set it daily as I close my computer down every night.

    Back up all data.
    Quit System Preferences if it's open.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Inside it there should be one or more files with a long name beginning with "com.apple.screensaver." Move those files to the Trash. Set your screensaver preferences and see whether they stick.

  • How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv.

    How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv?

    Thanks for you reply.  When I paint, I bring up the photo as you suggested.  I begin painting.  After about 10 minutes or so, the photo goes blank.  And, I have to start the process over again to get that same photo.  It interrupts the painting process.  I think it goes blank due to a sleep function.  I have gone into the Apple TV settings and turned off the sleep function.  But, this does not seem to work.  What can I do to keep the image on the TV screen permanently?

  • How can I open an iPhoto photo directly from Photoshop Elements 6?

    Hi...
    I thought I read here in this forum how to open a photo that's in iPhoto ('09), directly from PSE 6. While in PSE 6, I go to File>Open>Photos(in Finder Sidebar)>then click on photo(s) in iPhoto and click on "Choose".
    But when I do this, the "Choose" option remains grayed out! So I can't choose any photos directly from my iPhoto library.
    What am I doing wrong, or is this just not possible to do? Or is there another way that doesn't involve first moving my photos out of iPhoto onto my desktop?
    TIA, Deb

    Thank you both for your responses! Unfortunately I realized I hadn't explained myself well enough and my question is still unanswered.
    I do know how to set my Preferences in iPhoto to edit in an external editing software like PSE. But I like iPhoto '09 for editing so I don't want to do that.
    What I use PSE 6 for is digital scrapbooking. So what I'm trying to do is figure out a way to get to my iPhoto library directly from PSE 6 while I'm working in it on a scrapbook layout.
    I thought I could just go to File>Open>Media(Finder sidebar)>Photos>, which then opens my iPhoto library, and then from there choose my photos to bring into PSE. But the "Choose" button remains grayed out when I do this, even though I am in my iPhoto library and can click on photos.
    I don't understand why? I've discussed this on message boards at digital scrapbooking websites, and none of the Mac users I've discussed this with, can figure it out either. We keep hoping there is an answer to this frustrating dilemma.
    What we all do right now as a work around is choose our photos first from iPhoto and move them to the desktop before we even open PSE. Then we can find them easily. But we want to be able to navigate to iPhoto from within PSE and choose our photos that way. Possible??
    Thanks again... Deb

  • Wallpaper disappears when I bring up Photobooth from my Apps?

    I'm trying to figure out how to fix this glitch I've been experiencing recently with my Wallpaper/background. Whenever I bring up Photo Booth from my applications, my wallpaper disappears to be replaced by a solid blue background. It's only started happening a couple days ago, and I've only experienced this problem with Photo Booth, none of my other applications. Any ideas what the problem is???
    Oh, P.S.- Photo Booth still works just fine.

    Interesting and where to begin? I do not see anything in the plist that looks like it would create this glitch however lets eliminate the possibility.
    Move to the desktop the com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist and relaunch PhotoBooth.
    Found in your user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist
    If no change you can always return it.
    If this is the case of no change, try opening new user account and see if thew problem persist. Report back.

  • Displaying Photo Titles for Photos Moved From iPhoto

    I have added comments in the 'titles' area of a number of photos. When I import the photos to iMovie, the photo titles are lost.
    Is there a way to maintain the photo titles, when photos are imported from iPhoto to iMovie.
    Thanks

    I found the solution, but adding titles in iMovie, rather than bringing the titles from iPhoto.

  • Photos Missing From Album

    I upgraded to 10.10.3 and when opening the photos app, all of my albums successfully migrated.  The only issue is that my IPhoto albums were sorted by name and that sort didn't follow.  I unchecked the sort by date and it put most of them in the right place and I manually sorted the rest.  I shut down the program and came back to it a few hours later.  There are now photos missing from the album.  I can't figure out what happened.  I looked in the recently deleted photos and they are not there.  I have them backed up both in IPhoto and in a separate folder, but before I bring them back in I need to know what happened.  Anybody have any ideas???

    I agree it would be helpful to know what happened, but I suspect we won't find out.

  • Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc

    Im trying to bring a movie from imovie to a pc using a flash drive, but the movie file (.mov) will not play on a pc. help!

    I would like to offer you some additional hair, but I've pulled mine out as well.  I have created a slideshow of my daughter's new house (a very nice place indeed) as a house-warming gift, took all the pix myself with a throw-away camera made into CD's, imported all of the photos, cropped and enhanced with Iaza online free photo editor, re-saved the new ones to a folder, imported the selected ones into iPhoto, had the best thematic photo printed in 8x10 format, bought the black DVD's, made the MPEG-4 movie as well as the suggested exportable to iPhone, created a folder with the slides, crafted a nice playlist in iTunes, merged it all in iPhoto, but cannot successfuly export it into iDVD. The technical documentation and writing for some of this stuff is sloppy and sometimes unintelligible. The instructional videos are incomplete. The One-on-One fellow was most helpful the other day and said Apple doesn't really have or support an functional DVD creation tool and suggested I choose one or another "app" at the "app store", but the reviews for the two major ones are shallow in depth and I haven't yet sprunf for the $20-$40 download so I can re-experience the difficult learning curve. The Macintoshs I once used were incredibly intuitive; the iMac requires some study. The slideshow I have is imperfect becauae it keeps reverting to custom slide-specific choices I have decided (several times) that I do not want, but it keeps slipping back into "Ken Burns" mode and some of the photos don't work in that mode because of their format. But I will settle for less-than-perfect if I can figure out the best way to export the MPEG-4 I have created into a Maxell DVD-R some time before my daughter's toddlers aged 4 and 2 get into kindergarten.

  • I cannot delete photo's from my iPad., i cannot delete photo's from my iPad.

    I cannot delete photo's from my Ipad that are in adobe file.

    Scenario:
    I give my iPhone/iPad to a relative in a different city.
    He or she wants to put his or her own photos on the device, but can't.  All the space is taken up.
    So, he or she must bring the iPhone/iPad back to me to delete the unwanted photos.
    There has to be a work around for this, but I haven't found it yet.

  • Bringing Photos to Organizer

    Bringing photos from My Pictures (Windows) to Elements Organizer will mean doubling the the use of hard disk space. Right?

    Nope. The organizer is just a database. The only time it ever makes a copy is when importing from iphoto on a mac, since writing to the iphoto library from outside iphoto can cause corruption and loss of photos. In windows, organizer never makes a copy.

  • How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

    I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
    The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
    The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
    I have an account on both machines.  I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
    When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
    My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
    What can I do to remedy this situation?  I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

    I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account.  I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
    Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
    Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
    First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
    Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.
