Can you edit a TIFF in iPhoto 09 without it converting to a JPEG?

I am wondering if I can edit photos in the TIFF format in iPhoto 09 without having them automatically converted to the JPEG format? I read that you should never edit a TIFF photo if you want to keep it in that format, because iPhoto will immediately convert it to a JPEG the minute you edit it without any warming.
I am in the process of scanning thousands of slides and I don't want to scan them as TIFFs only to have iPhoto convert them to JPEGs. I will do most of my editing with Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac, but just in case I ever edit a TIFF in iPhoto 09, I need to know if it will automatically be converted to a JPEG or not.
Today I tried editing a TIFF in iPhoto 09 and as far as I could tell, it didn't change the format to JPEG, even though I just read in the iPhoto 09 Missing Manual today that it WILL in fact change it. Am I missing something? I just assume if it still shows the TIFF extension, it has NOT been converted to a JPEG! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Linda

Thanks Terence. What a relief. I still don't understand what the book I read was talking about then. Here's a quote from the section I was referring to in "iPhoto 08: The Missing Manual" book, p 91 (ISBN: 0596-516185):
"Note, however, that the instant you edit a TIFF-format photo (Chapter 7), iPhoto converts it into JPEG.
That's fine if you plan to order prints or a photo book (Chapter 11) from iPhoto, since JPEG files are required for those purposes. But if you took that once-in-a-lifetime, priceless shot as a TIFF file, don't do any editing in iPhoto-don't even rotate it- if you hope to maintain its perfect, pristine quality."
After my test results, I thought maybe this was something that had changed from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09, so I went to the bookstore yesterday and checked the same book for iPhoto 09, and there it was, the same quote! (on a different page, of course).
Anyway, thanks once again for your confirmation that my test was indeed correct. Linda

Can you edit the RTF layout manually WITHOUT using wizards?

Hi,
In Oracle Reports we can edit the layout in the layout editor. I.e. we can add fields, repeating frames and drag the objects to any position we want. Can you do the same in BIP, instead of using a wizard?
Is it recommended? Or should we always only the wizards provided by the BIP Menu?
Thanks & Regards,
C.S.

I mentioned XML only becasue you will need to be familiar with your XML data stream (i.e. the elements avalaible for use inyour RTF template), if you are not using the BIP toolbar, as you will not be able to choose them from a list, like you can with the toolbar.
There are aspects of XSL you will eventually require but these can be picked up as you go by reading on this forum and others Blogs, and the BIP user guide of course. (You get the user guide when you install the toolbar!)
Regards,
Dave

Can you edit the "events" in iPhoto on your ipad?

I've finally figured out how to sync iPhoto from MacBook to iPad, now I'm having trouble editing the photos in the albums or events. Seems like I can only move them around on my computer but can't move any photos on my ipad. Is there a way that I can organize these on my ipad? First world problems I know but since I have more time on the iPad it just makes sense that I arrange them in here. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

There isn't an Aperture or iPhoto app for the iPad (it comes with a basic Photos apps which is effectively just a viewer), and the photo editing apps that do exist are fairly basic : cropping, brightness, rotation, straightening etc e.g. the free Photoshop Express app from Adobe (which also has an in-app purchase option). You can use the iPad for reviewing photos but if you tend to do extensive editing then it's probably not suitable.

Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

Can you edit a pdf document without exporting it into a word document?

Hi sylvias99766822,
You can if you have Acrobat. If you don't, feel free to give it a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Keep in mind, though, that Acrobat isn't intended to be a word processor. So, while you can make adjustments to text and graphics, if you need to do a major overhaul of the text in the document, it's best to go back to the source document and edit the content there.
Best,
Sara

Can you edit Muse website without Muse?

I'm creating a website for a community group. I'd like them to be able to update their annoucements and events without my help if they need to. For events, we can use a Google calendar but if they want to update the front page with an announcement or something, I'd like them to able to do so. Some of the people are ok with code but do not have access to Muse software.
Can you edit Muse website without have Muse?
Should I create the website in a different way like Weebly, etc?
Thanks

Yes, I've got the Creative Cloud thing so I was going to host it there. It's a community garden that's just getting started and I'll be traveling for a few weeks this summer and I'm afraid that they may need to update things while I'm gone. Plus I don't want to be the sole person who can keep it going.

How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
1T Hard Drive in reg slot
16 GB Ram
Mavericks 10.9.4
iphoto 9.5.1
I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import. As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD. Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited. How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me. Thank you.

All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events. It is a start but not complete.
Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit. i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos. And empty the trash always before merging projects.
You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists. I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself

If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered: Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book. Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

How can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

I can not edit my picture in Iphoto?

I can not edit my pictures in iphoto?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

Can you resize a pic in iphoto?

Wondering, can you resize a pic in iphoto? I didnt really see that option. I finally figured out that i had to click the "i" (information) icon to see the pic size, ex: 1240x526...that kind of thing. I was on a windows PC for the last 13 years and i would edit my pics in the paint program. I would take all pics and resize them to 50% both vertically and horizontally. I did this for 2 reasons, A.) i didnt need the monsterous file size for what i was doing. And, B.) to save space on the computer and the flash drive i saved my pics too. Id love to be able to do the same on my mac mini in iphoto....is it possible to resize in the fashion i described above, by precentage? Thanks so much. O

Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo? Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo? Thanks.

Thank you very much! Does this require software to be purchased? I'm new to Photoshop.

Subject: Re: Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
Good luck,
Hunt
