Can an iPhoto library be shared with Lightroom and capture one?

Since Aperture is being replaced by … nothing, how can I access the same library with multiple editors?

Neither iPhoto, Lightroom nor Capture One are editors. They are all database driven Photo Managers with non-destructive processing. There is no rational workflow that would use more than one of these apps, any more than it would make sense to write a novel in three different word processors at the same time.
Pick the one that suits your needs - if you're coming from Aperture then forget iPhoto, it's much less capable and also being end-of-lifed. Pick between Lightroom and Capture One. Then google the options for migration from Aperture to the one you choose.

Can I my iPhoto library be shared with another account?

Having just bought an iMac, I successfully transferred my iPhoto library on my iBook to it. However, the iMac will now serve as the hub for our pics and I'd like the library to be shared by another user of the same computer. I'd like both of us to be able to view and add to the same library.
Any way this can be done?

Hi Sugith,
SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

Iphoto library was created with an unrelased version of iphoto please quit and ugrade library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4

my iphoto 8.1.2 operating system 10.6.8 can't open iphoto...error message says IPHOTO LIBRARY WAS CREATED WITH AN UNRELEASED VERSION OF IPHOTO. PLEASE QUIT AND UPGRADE IPHOTO LIBRARY BY OPENING IT IN IPHOTO 2 OR IPHOTO 4?

Restore from your back up is the simple solution.
Failing that:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

Iphoto library was created with a trial version, open version 2 or 4.....

hi, i apparently have an older version of iphoto that thinks its the "guardian" to all of my iphoto pics. i do have iphoto six, but when i try to open it, it says that the iphoto library was created with a trial version of iphoto, and that i should open version 2 or 4 to use that library. i can find no way to open version 6, nor can i find version 2 or 4. is it possible that i accidentally deleted these? and how can i get them back, so i can upgrade to version 6? thanks

I am having almost the same problem! I am not sure what happened to trigger this, but one day, I tried to open iPhoto, and it said that "This library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto. Please open library with iPhoto 2 or 4." I have been runing iPhoto 5 for the past year!
I jsut bought iPhoto 6 today, hoping that if I installed the latest version, it would fix all of the issues. Well, it didn't! I can't even hold down shift+option when launching the application...once the library is selected, i get the same error message as before.
Can anyone help me PLEASE!!! i'm going to Maui next week, and need to get all of the photos off my camera before i go!

Iphoto library rebuild crashes with KERN_PROTECTION _FAILURE error

My first post - and throwing myself to the mercy of the forums for help. Appreciate your ideas and help
My problem started with installing iLife '11. As part of the instal it must rebuild the iphoto library. I got my EXCBADACCESS / KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE error. This led to me regressing back to the previous version of iPhoto (8.1.2
The good news is that I can open my iPhoto library. Everything works well, no problems at all. I have about 40,000 images plus slideshows, photobooks, -> that s a lot of meta data and I dont want to lose it
Now I need to get my iPhoto library in tip top condition - and then I can upgrade to the new version. However when I rebuild (ticking the first three tick boxes) it always crashes.
I read on a post that .MOV files can upset iPhoto. So I deleted these from my library and imported them into iMovie instead
I also had a troublesome corrupt photobook - so I deleted that
I tried rebuilding the library with iPhoto Manager - but gave up when I read that the slideshows and photobooks do not transfer across
I have the library backed up - so I can try different destructive ideas. But at 8 hours + to rebuild the library (it fails very very near the end of the process) and then about 12 hours to restore from backup then it takes a long time
The failure is always the same high level message - with slightly different detailed logs
I will paste one example below - just the first three pages - you can have more if you need
Also please note the library lives on the internal HDD of the computer
Appreciate any help

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 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.

The D600 support is only preliminary (that's why we only get a beta profile for it). You'll probably have to wait for the next LR update before we get thethering.

No, but as mentioned in my answer to your other post, you can share the same iTunes ID with your family and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs.

How can I disable the memory sharing with the video?

how can I disable the memory sharing with the graphic card? it makes me impossible to run a software, grandMA2, on windows 7 installed and run via bootcamp. where should I look for changing the preferences of memory and video, on lion or on windows7? thank you

so what do you think. I run a software on windows 7 running via bootcamp on my mbp, but I can't open it. the software is compatible with windows 7 on mac. I tried opening it as administrator or changing the compatibility options, like running it as windows xp, and changing the resolution of the video. it can't build the window and then it crashes. on internet I found a compatibility list of the software where it says please do not use any shared memory for the graphic card. what does it mean? I have just to remove the check in automatic graphics switching? what should I try to do? thank you.

Exporting Of Entire Library for use with Tversity and PS3

I'm a recent Mac owner and my background is windows. I have a setup at home where all my photos are backed up to a windows server which uses tversity to distribute photos etc to my PlayStation 3 for display on my television. I want to use the Mac as the source for my photos. Having imported all my photos into iPhoto I have realised that my standard concept of organising all my photos into folders based on the month they were taken is perhaps outdated and iPhoto creates it's own library. I still want to be able to view the photos on the PS3 so somehow need to get the files back to my windows PC.
I have the following questions:
1. Is there any software that will keep the iPhoto library in sync with another external folder structure, making changes as necessary when photos are added/modified? (This is a long shot I know).
2. Assuming not can I export the entire library to the windows PC? If I can what happens to the folder structure and file names? Is it possible to export just changes from a point in time?
3. Are exported photos always the latest version of the photo including any edits that have been made?
4. I'm struggling to understand how Albums, Projects and Events relate to the underlying folder structure that I am used to. I prefer to have the photos organised into smaller folders by month, preferably with the date and time in the filename. Is there a way to force iPhoto to maintain this type of structure?
Apologies if any of these are stupid questions. I've had a good look through the forums and can't find any answers that address this issue.

iPhoto has no cross platform ability at all. It may well not be the app for you.
1. Is there any software that will keep the iPhoto library in sync with another external folder structure, making changes as necessary when photos are added/modified? (This is a long shot I know).
No.
2. Assuming not can I export the entire library to the windows PC? If I can what happens to the folder structure and file names? Is it possible to export just changes from a point in time?
You can export the files easily using the File -> Export command. A app like *_[Iphoto To Disk|http://www.Iphototodisk.com>_* will help automate the process for you.
3. Are exported photos always the latest version of the photo including any edits that have been made?
No, not always. If you choose 'Originals' in the export dialogue that's what you'll get.
'm struggling to understand how Albums, Projects and Events relate to the underlying folder structure that I am used to.
They don't. When you import photos to iPhoto they are stored in folders that reflect the Events in the iPhoto Window. But if you move files between Events in the iPhoto Window that's not reflected in how the files are stored on the HD. Albums are virtual, they are entirely constructs of the iPhoto Database. They have no corresponding folders on the HD at all. This is why a photo can be in 100 albums and use no extra disk space at all.
I prefer to have the photos organised into smaller folders by month, preferably with the date and time in the filename. Is there a way to force iPhoto to maintain this type of structure?
No.
The point of iPhoto is that it's about managing Photos not Files. The idea is to let iPhoto store the files and for you to forget about them and get on with organising the photos. You do all your work in the iPhoto Window and iPhoto tracks the relationship between what you decide and the actual files.
What you can do is run a Referenced Library.
*I strongly caution you against doing this because you are inexperienced with Macs and iPhoto*
It's a limited way to meet your requirements. You can decide how to store the unedited photos only. You still have no access to the edited ones except via iPhoto. Really, the best this offers is some comfort for people who have a burning need to see where the files are on the HD. It offers no functionality.
That said:
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
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. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
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.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
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.

Laptop monitor choice for photo editing with lightroom and photoshop

Hi,
i'm going to buy a laptop, mostly for photo editing with lightroom and photoshop use.
I'm in trouble with the display choice.
One laptop has LG LP156WF4 or AUO B156HAN01 display, that should be very similar matte ips display with 55%-60% coverage of AdobeRGB. You can find a review in the "Display" section of these link : http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Clevo-W650SJ-Schenker-M504-Barebones-Notebook.114329.0 .html
The other laptop hasAU Optronics B156HW01 V.4 Matte 95%, that is a TN matte display with 95% coverage of AdobeRGB. You can find a review in these link (the display should be the green bar): http://www.anandtech.com/show/4649/mythlogic-pollux-1400-clevos-w150hr-tested/6
My question is: which one is better for photo editing with photoshop and lightroom?
Someone says that ips is better because of the fidelity of color reproduction, view angles and contrast.
Someone, on the other side, says that the TN 95% is better because of the gamut%.
Can you help me?
Thanks,
Marco Grechi

Macbook pro is out of budget
Hp assistance said that in italy they don't sell laptop with dreamcolor (i'll call again tomorrow to be sure ) but i think that it would be out of budget (max 2000 euro).
They said that the best solution for me is the zbook 15 g2 (2300 euro), but they DON'T know brand and model of the display and if i can have SSD + HD inside the zbook 15 g2.
The laptop with the lg panel costs 1500 euro. the question is; "i know that the lg display is not the best, but is it almost sufficient for my use?". In this way i may save 500/800 to buy a separated display later.
I have read that dell xps 15 and dell precision m3800 have great display, but they are glossy and very reflective. Is it a big handicap?
Do you know the 3k 15,6" display Panasonic VVX16T020G00 ? It should be a 8-bit display with 72%NTSC gamut ( http://www.panelook.com/VVX16T020G00_Panasonic_15.5_LCM_parameter_22014.html )
Do you sugget me a 3k display for photo editing?
Thanks

My iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case. Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?

How did you buy iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled on your computer with Lion or later, or did it come with Snowleopard on system installer disks?
Which version of iPhoto?
If you have a version of iPhoto '11 and it is showing on the Purchased tab of the App Store, with your Apple ID, then delete iPhoto from the Applications folder (don't empty the Trash) and download iPhoto again from the Purchased tab.
If that does not work, contact The App Store Support from the Quick Links on the AppStore main page.
Only apple Support can fix problems with apple ID.

I'm trying to transfer my pictures from my iPhoto library to my external hard drive. I dragged the iPhoto Library folder into the drive and after waiting a while it says "Error Code -36 The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 'iPhoto Library' could not be read or written". I need to free up space asap, what should i do??

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?
