Can I FTP large photos directly from iphoto or Photoshop Elements?

I have been uploading large jpegs onto another server using ftp plug-in with Aperture. But it strips the photo info, captions etc from the file, which is crucial information for my clients. Does any one know why this is happening, If I could ftp directly from iphoto or Photoshop elements even, it would be easier for me as I don't find aperture useful for multiple batch changes in file names and captions.
Currently I have been editing the file names and comments in iphoto, exporting 'version name' (other wise it exports the original file name) to a folder on the desktop and then importing these files into aperture where I use a plug in AperturetoFTPpro. I do have the export version box checked and not the 'master' box - By now i've lost track of which it thinks the 'master' or 'version' is!
not sure what's causing the problem, iphoto or aperture.
When i look at the metadata in aperture, I can't see the captions, but if i open the same file in photoshop and do 'apple i' the info is there.

To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to FTP directly out of iPhoto that's built into iPhoto, but you can try asking in the iPhoto forum where if anyone knows how you'll be more likely to get a response. There is a third-party product called PhotoUpLink that the developer says works with iPhoto that you could try.
The same applies to your Aperture question; try asking in the Aperture forum, though if you're using the demo plugin that comes in the Aperture Plug-In SDK, that's really not intended to be "production quality" but rather just an example of plugin development, so it may well lack capabilities or otherwise have issues. You might take a look at PhotoUpLink or Uberload for Aperture,
Not using Photoshop Elements I can't say about that, but Adobe runs their own forums for that here where you could ask.
Regards.

  • I can't email a photo directly from iPhoto.  First, I only have two "themes" to choose from instead of 8, and when prompted to fill in the "to" and "from", the "from" box has "MobileMe" already in it, and I can't get rid of or change it. I have OSXLion

    I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available?  Any idea why that would be?

  • Why can't I email photos direct from iPhoto?

    Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

    I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
    This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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. .

  • I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    Which iPhoto version did you update to?
    If it is iPhoto 9.6 open iPhoto's preferences, go to the Accounts pane and delete the email account.
    Now quit iPhoto, relaunch, and add the account back.
    You may have to restart the Mac for this to have effect.
    If you are using iPhoto as Mail client, you may want to switch to Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane.
    This has been much more reliable in the past and less trouble.

  • Mobile Me was my default email account, so if I did any emailing like trying to send a photo directly from iphoto it would send from the mobile me address.  Is there a way to set a different default email account now that mobile me is gone?

    We used Mobile Me for our default email.  So if you answered an ad from a site or tried to send a photo directly from iphoto, it would use the mobile me account. Now that its gone, can I set a different address as my default?

    WEll, MobileMe has been moved & still works in iCloud.
    Did you setrup an iCloud account?
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app.  However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2.  I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

    When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app.  However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2.  I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2?  Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

    Update:  I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
    On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto").  This seems to have corrected the issue.  I'm not sure why.  Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

  • How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    Hello MWWWB,
    Unlike iPhoto, Photoshop is only an editor. It does not store or organize images. In iPhoto preferences, you can choose Photoshop as an editor. You will then get a choice when you double click on an iPhoto thumbnail to use iPhoto or Photoshop to make edits. But Photoshop does not have a library to store images like iPhoto.
    You may want to use Adobe Bridge or Lightroom to help name and organize your pictures. You can Export your iPhoto Library to a folder and manage the exported images there.
    Personally, I hate the arcane manner iPhoto stores and organizes images. I use it only for photos from my iPhone.

  • Why can't I import photos from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements 6?

    I've got Photoshop Elements 6 on my iMac desktop running OS X 10.7.4.  When I click on File>Open in PE6, my iMac Finder opens.  I then select Photos and all my iPhoto and Photo Booth files open.  But I cannot click on (well, I can click on them but nothing happens) any photo to pull it into PE6.  It seems a simple operation, but apparently not for me!  Any help getting this application to work would be sincerely appreciated!  Thank you.

    You can't do it that way. The iphoto library is for iphoto's own use, and poking at from outside iphoto is the fastest way to corrupt it and lose all your photos. You have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and open all images from iphoto, not by using File>Open.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, open the copies and save them, then reimport the edited photos as new files.

  • How can I get photos from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements?

    I installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my new MacBook Pro because I want to do some additional editing.  I have 800 pictures that I downloaded into iPhoto before I purchased PSE.
    How can I open the pictures in PSE?
    The instructions on the PSE website do not seem to refer to the version of iPhoto I have (the screens and menus are different.

    I used this advice and was able to open the some photos in iPhoto and edit in PSE.   I would like to save them to another file, outside iPhoto.   Is that possible?
    Sure - save As istead of save - then the edited [photo will not be in iPhoto but will be where you put it
    I would also like to open PSE and open the files from PSE, possible?
    You can - use the open command and the media browser - look in the lower left hadn corner of the open windos under media  ==> photos  ==> iPhoto - but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Perhaps I need to move the photos out of iPhoto and then open with PSE.
    Again you can do that - select the photo in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) and work on the exported photos - again
    but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Just now learning Mac, so I think I may still be thinking in PC.
    It is not so much Mac vs PC but database photo management vs file management - the iPhoto database structure is infinantly more powerful that an file approach like you used on a PC

  • I can't send to Flickr direct from IPhoto get error

    As you've already been told MMe has been defunct since last June.  This website by Roger Wilmut describes several alternative photo sharing sites that you can use to replace the MMe Galleries: Missing in iCloud page 4.
    Another option is to obtain your own website hosting account and use iWeb's Photo page layout or Album layout to create your own personal website and photo galleries.  Examples of the two are in these demo pages: Using an iWeb Album Page as an Alternative to MobileMe Galleries and Using an iWeb Photo Page as an Alternate to a MobileMe Gallery.

  • I have an EHD with windows files on it, Can I add my photo's from iPhoto to it?

    I need to back up my photo's from my mac. I have always just copied and pasted from my old windows laptop on to my EHD. I'm new to the mac world, can my EHD support the Mac files or do I have to format the EHD for Mac. If I do, will I still be able to put my old windows files back on?
    Also, what is the best way to back up files from iPhoto to the EHD?
    Thanks

  • Editing a photo from iPhoto in Photoshop elements 9

    I can no longer take a photo from iPhoto & edit it in Photoshop Elements 9. When I opened Photoshop Elements independently, it went to Revel, and for the past 12 hours, the bottom scroll says "Gathering User Information." There's no more information to gather! Help! Ann

    Stop using the welcome screen. Go into the Applications folder and make a dock icon for the actual editor file, which is this one:
    and be sure that is the one you choose as your external editor in iphoto, too, not the one below it in the list.

  • Photos Blurry in iPhoto vs Photoshop Elements or Preview

    I've noticed in iPhoto 5.0.4 my photos don't appear to be presented as sharp as they do when I open the same photo in Photoshop Elments 2 or in Preview. I double click the photo to go to edit mode. I have the same photo open in the other applications. iPhoto is a tad blurry.
    Has then been fixed in iPhoto 6?
    Thanks for any advice
    Kelvin

    Also take a look at PhotoPresenter. It has some terrific animated themes and allows putting both slides and video files in the same slideshow. It will integrate with iPhoto also.
    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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
