Can iPhoto display RAW under the image once imported?

Hi,
I've just started shooting with my Canon EOS 30d using the RAW + JPEG setting. However when i import the pics into iPhoto i don't know which is which unless i select "info". This also presents a problem when i drag them into Photoshop Elements for editing, it doesn't say RAW?
Is there a way for iPhoto to dispaly or tag them as RAW images so they display that way in iPhoto and Elements?
Thanks.

When you import a Raw it is automatically keyworded with Raw so, View -> Keywords will display the keywords, including the Raw badge.
However...
This also presents a problem when i drag them into Photoshop Elements for editing
You will simply never get a Raw to Elements that way.
When you import a Raw to iPhoto the app makes a quick preview of the Raw, and this preview is what dragging from the iPhoto Window will access only.
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.
For sending Raw to Elements: be sure you've checked the 'Use Raw when using External Editor' box in the iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced pane.
Remember that processing a Raw with Elements means that you create a new file, and that must be saved to the desktop and then imported to iPhoto.

Most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter

most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter the title in iPhoto. why the inconsistency? running OS 10.9.5 and using iPhoto 9.5.1

Try this: select one of the photos that are showing the wrong title and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to File Name menu option.
See if that will put the name that you want under the thumbnail.

Can Iphoto display the date and time of a pic on the pic?

I know I can get info and see a pics info, but can Iphoto display the date and time of a pic on the pic itself?

Use the Photos->Batch Change menu option to set the Title to Date and Time. That will give you what you want under each thumbnail.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

How can I save the images and movies on a external Disk from iphoto program, to protect the images when problems occur in the laptop,

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
If you want to back up the Photos only:
Export them using the File -> Export command.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

I have taken pictures of items that are linked to a database that I am building. How can I bypass importing into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database? thanx.

I have taken pictures with both my Sony camera and my iPhone of items that are linked to a database that I am building, as well as my website. How can I bypass importing the images into iPhoto and simply downloading the images as "files" not "photos" so I can access them with my database? thanx.

If your Sony has a removable memory card you can use a card reader to copy the image files from to a folder on your Desktop and then move them anywhere you'd like.
Since the iPhone doesn't have a removable memory card you can try using Image Capture to see if you can manually upload the files to a folder on the Desktop.
If you have to import the photos, which are image files, into iPhoto you can then export them out of iPhoto to the Desktop and go from there to your database. Just because they are in iPhoto doesn't prevent you from using them elsewhere.

Can IPhoto accept raw files?

Can IPhoto accept raw files?

So you just needed me to furnish you with a more thorough explanation.
Why did you not just say that, Terence?
I'm truly grateful for anyone's help and advice, I really am.
But surely instead of the above 'statement', why not just point out which information you required?
Anyhow, I'm on Snow Leopard. I'm not sure which version of iPhoto, but it's the most current version for Snow Leopard. My library is 16,588 images. I have around 256GB free space on the HD.
The thing is, though, I have had absolutely no problem with it up until last week when I added about 100 PEF images from my Pentax K-x and then everything ground, literally, to a halt.
When I import the raw images to Image Capture or Photoshop they're fine, no speed issues.
Thanks for everyone, including Terence, who offers advice.

Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any originals?

Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any original photos? Thank you.

Simply: iPhoto is a database. Like all databases it requires that you manipulat the data via the tools provided and not through backdoors. If you delete matter managed by iPhoto (or for that matter, any database) through some other means then the database will be unaware of the deletions. The database will not reflect the changes and you'll have significant issues going forward with iPhoto.
So, to be really, really clear: if you delete Photos managed by iPhoto via the All Images search you will corrupt your Library.
It's your computer, your images and your iPhoto. You have the information, you decide how to use it.

When watching a slideshow I could always access music from my iTunes folder. Suddenly today I can only hear music under the 'theme' tab. I can see my music in iTunes but when I double click on it nothing happens!

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.

Can iPhoto process RAW files?

Love to shoot digital photos. Can iPhoto process RAW files without conversion to JPEG or problems?
Or do I need to purchase Aperture?
Running OSX 10.6.8 2.66 GHZ Intel Duo Core 8 Gigs RAM only--enough for using Aperture?

iPhoto, yes Aperture, yes. Read here > iPhoto '11: Edit RAW-format photos
But the minimum requirements for iPhoto 11 and Aperture are OS X v10.7.5.
You would have to upgrade to v10.7 Lion in order to run either iPhoto or Aperture.
Lion can be purchased from Apple Customer Support at 800-767-2775.
OR, if your Mac meets v10.8 Mountain Lion requirements > System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
You can upgrade directly from v10.6.8 to v10.8 Mountain Lion. iPhoto and Aperture both are compatible with v10.8.
Instructions for upgrading to Mountain Lion v10.8 > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

It sounds like you are talking about the cloning tool?
Tool looks like this:
Then when selected you can change the size of the brush and using Alt (windows) and Command (Mac) to select your region you want to copy then start to create you cloned image.
Hope this helps?

I recently connected my new MBA to an ACER display using the appropriate Apple hardware to connect to a VGA port. The quality of the ACER display is poor- the image is not clear. How do I achieve the same clarity of picture as my MBA screen?

Final Cut Pro X (10.1.1) can't be opened because "the image is not recognized".

I have tried to download the trail version of Final Cut Pro X (10.1.1) twice but every time it has been downloaded my computer tells me it can't be opened because "the image is not recognized".
Do any of you have a similar problem or know a solution?

Also having this issue, Im on OSX Yosimite 10.10.1 trying to download the 30 day trial version of Final Cut Pro 10.1.4
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Mem: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I have downloaded the 30 day trial of Final Cut Pro from https://www.apple.com/ie/final-cut-pro/trial/
The file which gets downloaded is "FinalCutProTrial10.1.4.dmg"
The size of this file is 2,147,487,419 bytes (as viewed in the inspector)
I would be interested to hear from anyone who installed this successfully whether the DMG file was the exact same size (although I have a feeling I wont hear anything as most people would delete the DMG file after installing).

i can't find isight under the software, also, i tryed to restart and still the camra not working. do you have alink to download isight?

Click on the Apple symbol in the top left of the screen and select About this Mac. Click on More Info and scroll down to the USB entry under hardware. Does it list the 'Built in iSight' in the top right hand pane?
If it does, what happens when you run the Photo Booth application?

Unfortunately, those slideshows aren't all that flexible. I
don't think
that Adobe supplies the source for the Flash slideshows. But
if you use
the spry slideshow, you should be able to edit the HTML in
Dreamweaver to
add links.
Have a look at one of Project Seven's graphics presentation
products -
Lightshow Magic, Slide Show Magic or Image Gallery Magic.
They're $95
each, and extremely flexible in what you can do with them.
