Can an image be mirrored in iPhoto?

Can an image be "mirrored" in iphoto?

Do you mean flipped horizontally? No but you can do this in Preview.

  • I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package?  Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
    You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images.  That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space.  As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.

  • How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

    How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

    By using an external editor. Preview is already on your Mac. It's called 'Flip Horizontal'
    In order of price here are some other suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    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.

  • Can you mirror image a photo in iphoto

    Can you mirror image a photo in iphoto?  Or is there another way it can be done?

    You need to either set Preview as the external editor and then flip the photo using it tha tway or export the photo to the desktop, flip it and then import the new photos into iPhoto
    You must NEVER make changes directly to the content of the iPhoto library using any program including previes

    How can I get a mirror image in iPhoto?

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    Preview can do that - as can PhotoShop Elements and many other photos editors

  • How can I copy a photo from iphoto to PReview to make it smaller for uploading to a site that requires a smaller image?

    How can I copy a photo from iphoto to PReview to make it smaller for uploading to a site that requires a smaller image?

    I don't think you need Preview.
    Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.

  • Can't export images that originated in iPhoto

    I recently upgraded to Aperture 3 from iPhoto. I used Aperture's 'Import from iPhoto' to bring my images across (about 35GB worth). I just figured out that I can't export iPhoto images from Aperture. The export dialogue box simply doesn't appear. Any ideas?

    Are you really using Aperture 3 on  Mac OS X (10.5.5)? The recent Aperture version requires 10.6.8 at least?
    How do you want to export your "iPhoto images from Aperture."? I assume you want to export the images you imported from iPhoto to Aperture to a folder on you disk?
    Select the images yu want to export in the Browser, and then use the main menu bar:  File > Export > ...
    like this:
    Then select, if you want to export the masters or versions.
      Does this not work for you? What do you see in the File menu? Or do you want to do something different? Then please explain more.

  • Since upgrade to Iphone ios6 (4S), I can not import any videos to iPhoto or Image Capture

    Hi there. I have had numberous problems with my upgrade to IOS6, particularly with the Camera/Photos. Two big ones: The camera does not orient itself properly when taking horizontal photos. You take a horizontal photo and it never rotates properly. So I have to go into Photo Shop and rotate each one manually. Sometimes it does not recognize horizontal from vertial when taking as well.
    Also, I can not download ANY videos to iphoto or via Image Capture. The error I get for every video (both new videos shot after upgrade and those that date back to before the upgrade): Import Error An error occured while importing. The item ZZZZ.MOV was not imported.
    I have all my software updates on both my phone and computer.
    Any suggestions?

    I would try restarting you Mac if you haven't already.  If you still can't get either iPhoto or Image Capture to work, you could try something else, like PhotoSync or PhoneView.

  • How Can I Display the Name of iPhoto Library?

    I manage a huge number of images so I keeep them in their own iPhoto libraries. In order to change libraries, I have to rename the one I have just left and then restart iPhoto. I have looked for years but cannot find a way for iPhoto to display the name of the library it has open. I could remember the names of all my libraries if I was not forced to change them in order to leave them and go to another. Does iPhoto tell you the name of the library you have open?
    Thanks

    Hi John,
    iPhoto 6 now shows the name of the library in the title bar of the iPhoto window. At least it did the other day for me.
    You can have a unique name for each of your libraries and use the Option key to launch iPhoto and choose to open another library, then navigate to the library, highlight it and click open.
    You can also use one of the iPhoto Library managers to switch between libraries.
    iPhoto Library Manager
    iPhoto Library Manager documentation
    this page will show you everything you can do with iPhoto Library Manager.
    You can also try iPhoto Buddy

  • How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

    Contacts has a space for a photo.  At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
    How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?

  • My iPhone 5c is not being recognized by my mac except to charge it. I'm up to date on all updates and don't know what else to do. I have restarted several times. I have even tried to update my iPhoto and I can't even do that with iPhoto 9.0, but can't.

    My Iphone 5c is not being recognized by my Mac computer. I have done all of the upates, restarted several times and I'm not sure what else to do. I have searched and searched and searched and have come up with nothing. Also, my Iphoto can not be updated. I'm still using version 8. something, and it won't update without this update and that update. It needs 9.0 but I can't find that download anywhere. The only one that I can find is 9.1. That won't update. Is there anything that I can do, or should I just bite it and take it to apple to get looked at?

    Does iTunes not see the phone?
    If not, make sure you're running the current version of iTunes.
    If you are running the current version and it still doesn't recognize it, see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    As for iPhoto, you will have to purchase a newer version. It's not a free upgrade. Or, you can use Image Capture, which is built into OS X, to import the photos.

  • Can I use plug-ins in iPhoto?

    Can I use plug-ins in iPhoto? THe plug-ins are Neat Image and Noise Ninja.

    Yes, there is a plug-in architecture for iPhoto, but as to whether these two will work with whatever version of iPhoto you have, you'll need to ask whoever makes them.

    What does show for the ones that do not have the picture?
    Is is an ! - if do
    This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
    this can be caused by two things
    1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto  library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2  or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
    2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - repair permissions and then rebuild your database

    Lindsey,
    did you do organizing in the iPhoto Library folder in the finder? It seems that iPhoto cannot find the image so there for you cannot even drag it to the desktop or even view the image. Did you rename the files in the finder or rename folders or even deleted files in the iPhoto Library folder in the finder?
    I am thinking you did and you may have to create a new library and import the images from the old library to see what images are left.
    Depending on what you did there are different ways to recover your images.
    If you deleted files and folders or renamed A LOT of images you need to start over.
    Page 2 gives instructions. Follow the first paragraph and #2 for importing.
    If you just renamed some images Old Toad has a solution for that.
    "There is a way you can recover your library. Here's what I developed and it worked for me. But make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder beforehand just in case:
    How to recover those photos lost due to renaming in the Finder
    1 - do a search of just the iPhoto library folder with the following criteria:
    File name contains ".jpg" (or .psd) and File size is less than 1 KB. (You can just do a search for File size less than 1 kb but do not delete the other zero sized files that are of a non image type).
    That will find all of those zero sized files that were created when iPhoto couldn't fine the originals.
    2 - move those zero sized image files to the trash.
    3 - now delete those "bad" photos from the iPhoto library using the normal method within iPhoto (if you don't they will be recovered every time you do a library rebuild with the "recover orphaned photos" option selected).
    4 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and when the rebuild menu comes up select the last option, "Recover orphaned photos in the iPhoto Library folder".
    This will recover those renamed files and put then in a new roll. The only downside is that their titles in iPhoto will be "Roll xx-1, etc. You can do a Get Info on them, find the actual file name and change the title so they are the same.
    So it can be done with a little work.
    The only way to rename files that have already been imported into iPhoto is to export them to the desktop, rename them there and then reimport. Once imported you can delete the original set.
    You shouldn't encounter problems when embedding the metadata into the files. But to be absolutely sure, pick one test photo and give it a go.
    You do know that you can use Photoshop from within iPhoto as the editor of choice, right? Just go into iPhoto's preferences and in the General pane under "Double-Click Photo" select Photoshop as the editor to use when you double-click a photo. The only caveat is that when you go to save the edit you must use the same filename, extension and location that you found the file in. If you must create a layered or otherwise pdf file it must be saved to the desktop and then imported as a new file.
    Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.
    O.T."
