Can i use iphoto to create transparent images?

I would like to know if there is any way to edit my images on iPhoto to have a transparent background. I need to upload photos to a website, but I do not want there to be a white "shadow" around my images. I know you can do it with Photoshop, but can you do it easily with iPhoto?

No. But the Instant Alpha feature in Preview or Pages will do this for you. Image editors like Acorn have this as well. Remember to save the files as png or other, as jpeg doesn't support transparency.

I used iphotos to create a photobook. I want to send the book to my aunt in the states but it won't allow me to do that. I was just wondering why it won't allow me to put in her address so the book can go directly to her home.

How to create transparent image at run-time?

How to create transparent image at run-time? I mean I want to create a (new) transparent image1, then show other (loaded) transparent image2 to image1, then show image1 to a DC. The problem is - image1 has non-transparent background...

i'm not sure, but you can set the alpha value to 0 in all pixels which are 'in' the background..

Can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

can I use iphoto on ipad app and synch changes back to my mac?

No, changes done on the iPad will not sync back to iPhoto on your mac.
But you can transfer the edited photos back to your mac - share them to the camera role or send them by mail. Any edited image you add to the camera roll can be imported into your iPhoto Library, when you connect your iPad to yourmac via USB.
But there is no real syncing of iPhoto libraries on your mac and IOS devices.

Can't use iPhoto with OS X Yosemite.

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite a while back and just tried using iPhoto. It won't work and said my library needed to be prepared. So I went through the steps to update my library, and I still can't use iPhoto. I still tells me it needs to be prepared even though I've done it 2 or 3 times.

Did you also update iPhoto to v9.6 at the App Store? If so:
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.

That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

Using iPhoto 08 editor causes image to be blurry.

When using iPhoto 08 to edit images, the photo and thumbnail become blurry but when the images is dragged onto the desktop and is viewed with Preview the image is clear but with out the modifications made during the edit in iPhoto. Any suggestions?

Someone posted a great answer to this dilemma that so many of us are having with iPhoto. I don't want to steal credit for the solution, so I'm providing a link to his solution which appears in another thread on this forum:

Can't use function in creating record group

Gurus,
This question is for developers. Is this true one can't use
function in creating record group. I am using form5.
thanks,
ZW

I figured out the issue... they changed the way Group Calls are limited.
Here's a full explaination - and a suggestion for a behavior fix: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Please-Fix-Group-Video-Voice-Calling-Limit-Beha...
Long story short, you can't do a video calling at all if the group has more than 10 people in it total (including you).
Also, you can't do voice calling in groups with more than 25 people.
Text chats are limited to 300 people (or so I've been told by Skype employees). I've been in a chat with over 100 participants though so I know it goes that high at least.

How can I use forms to create a printable document or an html page?

This question may be a little confusing, so below is a link to an example of what I want to create using Dreamweaver.
http://www.howard.edu/technology/info/web/hosting/request/default.htm
On this webpage, the user is asked to fill in the forms with their info and when they press "view printable form", a html page using the info that was inputted is created for the user to print and sign.
So, I basically want to create the exact same thing in Dreamweaver - any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

HT5037 I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.

Thanks, it worked first time that I double clicked as you suggested.
Why do Apple make it so hard to upgrade some programs? They could make the follow through instructions a lot clearer.
Now I have it open- it works and..................... it does look pretty neat.

I can't use iPhoto on my new MacMini. Why?

I can't use iPhoto on my new MacMini. I transferred my photo library from my old Mac tower's iPhoto library. The photos are in there - I can find them in the photo library - but I can't get them into iPhoto - or even open iPhoto. What happens is a message: "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." Then, when I choose "Upgrade", I get : "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable." It goes on to tell me to Quit iPhoto, Reopen while keeping Option & Comand keys pressed." Did that over and over. Nothing changes. It also says: "Try restoring our photo library from back up" but I don't know what that means. Help.
Note: My transferred photos are in there via: Finder / Judy / Library / iPhoto Library. But I can't work with them, e.g. edit, in iPhoto or access them any other way than one at a time in that library... not exactly what I want or need.

I did everything you suggested and it seemed to be a repeat of everything I did yesterday. Going through "Macintosh HD" just got me to the same place I was in yesterday, going through Finder to 'Judy' to 'Library' to 'iPhoto Library'. There just isn't anything there that looks like what you describe: 'Permissions' or 'Rights & Priveges'. From everything I see when I monkey around in my 'User' folder, there are no restrictions on anything.
BDAqua is indicating one of the standard paths/locations for the iPhoto Library:
Macintosh HD -> Users -> Judy -> Pictures -> iPhoto Library
At least that's where mine was on Snow Leopard and is on Lion. The location you've indicated, isn't standard:
Macintosh HD -> Judy -> Library -> iPhoto Library
When you get to "iPhoto Library",
- select/hightlight it
- Then click cmd-I (or under the "File" menu, select "Get Info")
- At the very bottom of the "Info" window you should "Sharing and Permissions" -- that's what BDAqua is asking about.

You can check all these out via the Web Part Maintenance Page. After the PageName.aspx, add ?contents=1 and you'll get a list of the webparts that are open and published on the page.
You can't do too much here but you can reset the parts that you think might be causing the problems.

I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.
