Burning images for iPhoto 8?

Forum,
I recently received a disk of images burned from iphoto 6 from a family member. On that computer (the one running iphoto 6) the images are 2mb and when placed into a calendar show no warning signs of printing low-res.
When I upload these photos into my machine (running iphoto 8) all the images show the icon notifying me that the image will print low res. (and they do)
Is there a way to ensure that the photos get burned at a higher quality? Or is this a result of the difference in size of calendars from iphoto 6 to iphoto 8 (8 x 10 to 10 x13)
Any help is much appreciated.

reumpter:
When you mount the disk with iPhoto running it should show up in the right hand pane of the iPhoto window like this. To import those photos into your iPhoto 8 library just drag the disk icon onto the Photos or Events icon. This screenshot movie shows how to import just an album but the process is the same for the entire disk. That will import the photos from the disk and keep the keywords, titles and comments intact and will include any edited versions of the photos.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Burn speed for iPhoto...?

Greetings,
A friend of mine had a Mac Pro 2x 2.66 Dual Xeon, 2 GB, running Mac OS X 10.4.11. He encountered a problem burning a DVD-R from iPhoto '08. He got a media error with a Sony DVD-R disc. He says he hasn't had any problems with his dual Pioneer DVR-111D drives (firmware AB09) and this media.
Is there any way to change the write speed for iPhoto '08?
TIA

Did he try another Sony disk? It might be just one disk.
Happy Holidays

Preview Images for iPhoto Items Not Showing

When cycling through my albums and slideshows I am not seeing the preview images to the left of the iPhoto titles. I tried rebuilding the iPhoto library using the Cmd-Opt keys when starting iPhoto and that still did not do it. Is there a preference setting that I am missing?
iMac 24inch Mac OS X (10.4.8)

After trying unsuccessfully to make the preview work by rebuilding my photo library, this thread finally ends all my frustration.
Still, it's a strange decision to let users enable the preview only when the photos are copied iPhoto library. Sure, it might not take much space if you have big hard drive or have only a few hundreds photos, but I don't want to imagine how much space it'd take if I had thousands of images scatter in BOTH of the original folders and iPhoto
library.
Thank you very much, yesinndeedy, for the tip!

How To Prepare Images For iPhoto Calendar Order...

I am getting ready to order a calendar through iPhoto '09 and try as I might I have been unable to find the directions on their website as to the specs they want followed in prepping the images. I know I found them last year but I can't find them this year. Does someone know what the color space, pixel dimensions, etc. Apple wants for a calendar. Better yet, do you know where on earth they have this info hidden?
Thanks!

Sometimes I wonder if I should have majored in abstract math concepts instead of journalism. Taking photos today involves far more math than in the good ole days of film. A fine art photographer colleague of mine used to teach Physics at Bates College and when I told him I envied him for his background he asked me why. When I responded by saying that it would allow him to understand digital photography. He laughed and said, " I've got news for you ole friend this stuff is every bit as confusing to me as it is to you. Oh well, I'm old and won't have suffer too much longer I guess.
Thanks!

I have Office 2011 which includes Word. Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page. Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears. Why?

Also when burning an image from iPhoto (usually no larger than 1mb) on to a disc, only part of it appears. It appears to have been magnified so that only a part of the image appears. Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening? And how to fix it??

Low budget image proofing for iPhoto book order

Hello!
I want to prepare my photos the best I can for iPhoto book ordering (Christmas present for family).
I have a Dell U2711 attached to a Mac Mini running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '11 9.2.1. and a Canon Selphy CP520 dye sub printer which I thought to use as a precheck of what my JPG sRGB images would look like when printed in a book.
Here's my headache:
If I set up the monitor and calibrate the display profile as suggested in post #1 under this thread then such setup makes me color correct the photos by RADICALLY pushing the midtone slider in the levels adjustments to the left (brightening the picture). Prints that come out of the Selphy under this setup are a perfect match to what I see on the monitor and that is wonderful. However, I hesitate to order a book using such images because they appear far too bright on an iMac for example. (Perhaps I should mention that Google logo in Safari looks like its on steroids in this setup).
On the other hand, if I set up the monitor as it came from factory (PC gamma, standard preset), and use the default DELL U2711 display profile in SystemPreferences, then pictures look relatively ok on screen without any radical color correction. But prints that come out of Selphy with this setup don't match what is on the display, prints are too dark, and again I hesitate to order a book with such images.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Mato

Yes - don't try so hard and use your Mac and iPhoto - not a PC
iPhoto is designed as a consumre level program for point and shoot comeras - many people (including me) report excellent results using it that way - load sRGB photos form a digital camera and do minimal processing on them - never do major color adjustments - using iPhoto - preview rthe book -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
and order
Apples comments on this are here
Of the negative comments posted here nearly all of them were from people who spend lots of time and energy adjusting photos trying to second guess the printing process and failing to do so - Apple does have an unconditional sastisfaction guarentee - do it the simple way - less is more in this case

Is this beta? The image for Yosemite is a very big rock, appropriate as this OS sends your mac back to the stone-age. iTunes crashes on open, iPhoto won't download, movies won't play, Safari won't show graphics, wifi down to speed of crippled snail.

The image for Yosemite is a very big rock, appropriate as this OS sends your mac back to the stone-age. iTunes crashes on open, iPhoto won't update, Safari shows text without graphics, can't get Java 8 'cause Safari "can't find server". Wifi slower than a crippled snail. Does anyone know how to uninstall this rubbish?

RAW JPEG PROBLEM I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture. What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

Is it possible for IPhoto to go through images and find duplicates which can then be safely deleted? I have so many duplicates that it would take me weeks to physically go through them and delete individually. I

Is it possible for IPhoto to seek out duplicate images and then delete them?

Try one of these: iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto, Duplicate Annihilator or iPhoto Applescript to Remove Duplicates. The second and last are free. The first is, IMO, the better app and has many other features.

Raw images on iPhoto for iOS?

Any plans for future versions of iPhoto for iOS to handle raw images?

Ralph9430 wrote:
Michael, that is correct. iPhoto for iOS is limited to 19 megapixel images and does not edit RAW files. So if one is shooting with something like a 5D MKII which takes 21 megapixel images one needs to shoot RAW plus a smaller than full size jpeg.
iPhoto for iOS is not a full fledged image editing program for professional photographer. MacWorld correctly, IMHO, points out in a recent review that iPhoto for iOS is for hobbyists and casual usuers. It does real well with preparing 1-3 megapixel images for sharing on social sites but is not recommended to much more than that.
Thanks for this info, Ralph. I had a suspicion that iPhoto for the iPad would be somewhat limited, much the same way Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are relative to their Mac counterparts. Digital photography is a hobby of mine, and I use Aperture to tweak my RAW photos. Overall, the I've found the iPad is great for showing photos, emailing them, etc., but not ideal for editing or storing.

Clicking on thumbnail in iPhoto does not open image for editing/viewing.

Clicking on images in iPhoto 7 does not open large images for editing or viewing. No ? or ! shows, just blank white screen with all buttons active as if the image is ready for editing. iPhoto library is about 50GB. What I've tried: created new library and imported 20 photos, rebuilt library w/keys using last 3 items in list, rebuilt library using iPhoto Library Manager. Quit everything, repaired permissions via Disk Utility. Nothing has worked. Was working fine a few days ago with same camera, same settings, etc. Utterly baffling, would love other suggestions?

Since loading Lion I can no longer burn photos form iPhoto on a dvd for archive purposes

Since loading Lion on my MacBook Pro, I can no longer burn photos form iphoto for archarving purposes. I used to load the dvd and it would showup on the screen then drag highlighted photos onto the dvd. Now, dvd only shows up sometimes and when it does, it tells me the new disk is full. How can such an easy task become obsolete with this update. I have also tried using idvd for archiving purposes but this process will only allow viewing. I want to be able to reload photos back onto the computer at a later date.

I habe the same problem and cant find a helpful post on the web!
How can i get it back to work???

Burn command in iPhoto not working

The Burn command in iPhoto 5.0.4 Share menu stopped working with 2 Pioneer burners installed in my G4 MDD. The only change I made some time before this problem started was OS X 10.4.10 update. Everything worked fine in 10.4.9.
Now whenever I click on Burn in iPhoto, it seems to start burning, but changes almost immediately to "finishing burn" and the following message is displayed depending on the drive selected:
"The burn to the PIONEER DVD–RW DVR-104(or PIONEER DVD–RW DVR–111) drive failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry."
The disc remains unused and can be successfully burned in another application.
Both burners work OK in Disk Utility and in Roxio Toast.
I am rather concerned with this problem and will appreciate any help. Thanks. Josef

I have resolved my problem, and thought I'd share the solution.
1. tested burning to a DVD directly from finder. Worked fine. so I knew the media was fine, and the hardware was fine, and the driver was fine.
2. Therefore, problem is iPhoto. But what?
3. From iPhoto, export your photos (same set you wanted to burn) to a folder somewhere. In my case, this action FAILED. Some of the files could NOT be created. By looking at the files exported before the failure, I could determine which photo was "bad". Tried opening that photo for editing in iPhoto, and it was not there! There was a thumbnail, and file info, but no actual photo.
4. I searched the iphoto directory structure and found that the original photo file was there. So, from iphoto I selected the bad photo and did "revert to original". That worked, and now I could see the photo in iphoto edit mode.
5. Try exporting to a folder again. Again...find another bad photo...repeat above process....until you can successfully export all the photos you want to burn.
6. Now, try burning to DVD from iPhoto again. For me...this step worked. Yay.
I have no idea how I got so many corrupted photos in my library. But, I suspect is was a result of a couple years of collecting photos and moving iphoto libraries around, etc. I spent a whole day fixing up all the corrupted photos in a 7,000 photo library. Ouch. But now, burning works fine.
The real problem here is that iPhoto doesn't give a useful error message when it can't burn the image.
I hope this procedure helps someone.

Burn slideshow for tv

I have tried hundreds of time to burn my slideshow in the iDVD with no sucess. the quality is horrible. I am about to give up and go to a MS Nero program. Is there a tip that you can give me?

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

Exported slideshow from Iphoto11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine but show stops 1/2way through because DVD has 2 chapters. How do I eliminate chapters?

I exported slideshow from Iphoto 11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine, but then when playing on DVD player show stops about 12 way and starts over. Seems there are 2 chapters in show. I wan t show to play straight through until end. How do I elimiante chapters or solve problem. Thanks. Bob Low

Try this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Play the disk image with DVD Player and see if you get the same start over half way thru.
Did you create the slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow mode?
or were you in an album and then used the Share ➙ iDVD menu option? What I'm trying to find out is if the slideshow in iDVD is a movie file or an iDVD slideshow with the photos from iPhoto? If it's the latter how many photos in the slideshow?
