Cannot find photos opened from iPhoto 8 in CS3 and saved as TIFF

When I open JPEG files in iPhoto Library, edit them in CS3 and save them as TIFFs, I cannot find the edited file either by searching in iPhoto Library or looking at the files on the hard drive. What am I doing wrong?

Since you do not say how you are doing this I can only guess
If you are opening the files directly from the iPhoto library rather than using iPhoto with CS3 as the external editor then you re doing it wrong
If you are "saving as" in to the iPhoto library then you are doing it wrong
You should either export the photos you want to edit to a folder outside the iPhoto library, edit and save somewhere - maybe into that folder or some place else outside the iPhoto library and import to the iPhoto library by dragging the edited photos to the iPhoto icon in the dock
OR
Set CS3 as the iPhoto external editor, select the photo you want to edit in iPhoto and click edit - do your editing and save (not "save as") to place the photo back in the iPhoto database and update the thumbnail - not sure if this will works for TIFFs or not - I have only done it with JPGs

    Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
    Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

  • Why is iTunes not able to pick up certain photo folders from iPhoto? Camera and image sizes are similiar to the ones which can be picked up.

    why is itunes not able to pick up certain photo folders from Iphoto. i'm tryin got sync certain iphoto album into my iphone 5 but itunes is only able to read certain photo albums. not sure why because photos were taken using the same camera 1 day apart.
    pls advise.
    Thank you

    i did but its still only picking up some of the photos. For eg, 1 folder had 147 pics but iTunes is only picking up 17. Can't seem to understand why. They were all taken on the same day using the same camera with the same settings.

  • I cannot find my pictures in iphoto after downloading and delating from memory card....

    I downloaded my pictures from memory card, and once it was done, iphoto asked me if I wanted to keep the pictures into the memory cart, I pressed no, and now I cannot find my pictures anywhere... Is there a way to find them back ?

    Hard to say
    Are they in last import?
    do not use your memory card until you resolve this - you may want to use software like Media Recover to recover the images on the card
    You can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
    For the future a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • Cannot send photo's from iPhoto by email my server settings are correct

    I cannot send photo's by email or iCloud from iPhoto. My server is Virginmedia, i have spoken to them and they have checked my password and all settings and they are correct. They said it would better for me to contact Apple as something might have changed.
    If you could help me please as i am not too technical being nearly 80.
    Thank you

    Change the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane to Mail and try to email those photos again.

  • I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it.

    I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library (beta) is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it. It is especially frustrating given I have subscribed to more space yet I have to turn it off to view!

    I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

    Do you know the date they were taken? Try search on that.

  • I deleted photos cause the capacity is so big but i backup first on itunes then when i was to restore some of those i cannot find photos from the last backup that i 've done. What to do?

    As far as i know, you can use a third party iPad photos recovery software to have a try. If i remember correctly, this software has two methods to restore your photos. One is recovering from your iTunes backup, another is recovering from your iPad directly.

    It is worth to try if your photos are important.

  • Finding photos OUTSIDE of iPhoto 8

    With the older versions of IPhoto you could find photos stored in the library easily (without opening the application), and then open them in Photoshop, etc or email them. With this newer version - I cannot figure out how to do this - it is either the entire library you have to open, then edit in PhotoShop, then email it or whatever. This is VERY frustrating. Likewise I just edited some photos and I cannot find them in the iPhoto library, even though in the save menu I see what folder they are in, but this folder does not exist in the IPhoto library that I can see. Am I missing something?

    Am I missing something?
    Yes.
    Quick background: With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    It has never been the correct way to access files via the Finder. Period. This is true of all the previous versions of iPhoto. Any and every time you surf the Library with the Finder, Bridge, Photoshop, whatever, you risk damaging the Library.
    For using Photoshop with iPhoto:
    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.*
    If you use a 'Save As...' command in Photoshop you are creating a new File. Save the file to the desktop and then import it. iPhoto does not know about files saved into the iPhoto Library unles they are imported. If you're doing the 'Save As' to preserve the original version of the file, that's not necessary as iPhoto does that for you.
    Other than that:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    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. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    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.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    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.
    All of these are 1. Faster and 2. Safer than rooting through the Library folder.

  • Now I'm just ****** off - original photos missing from iPhoto

    Ok.
    So I had this problem the other day after upgrading to iPhoto 6 (see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406534&tstart=0)
    That seemed to get solved from the information provided.
    OK, great. So today, I'm flipping through some albums, and I discover, much to my chagrin, that some photos (all of which appear to be from 2000/2001) have thumbnails, but no longer have the photos attached.
    And before you say, "hey, do you have the apple support framework 1.4?" why yes, I've already checked.
    And before you say, "hey, did you try rotating/exporting/dragging the photos to your desktop?" Why yes, I've already tried.
    As a matter of fact, when I try to go into the iphoto library file structure itself, and open some of these older photos (after searching around for them because ever since the upgrade, I appear to have about 800 different files in my iphoto folder), I get a message that the image either doesn't exist or is corrupt.
    Speaking of the file structure, This is a list of what I get now when I open the pictures folder in finder:
    2000 (folder)
    2001 (folder)
    2002 (folder)
    2003 (folder)
    2004 (folder)
    2005 (folder)
    AlbumData.xml
    bdayfun.jpg
    Data (folder)
    Dir.data
    iPhoto.ipspot
    iPhotoLock.data
    iPod Photo Cache (folder)
    Library.cache
    Library.data
    Library.iPhoto
    Library6.iPhoto
    Modified (folder - NOTE: THIS DOES HAVE AN INTERNAL FOLDER FOR 2006, BUT NONE FOR 2000 0R 2001)
    Original (folder - same as "Modified")
    Thumb32Segment.data
    Thumb64Segment.data
    ThumbJPGSegment.data
    All of the photos (so far) that appear to not open are from 2001 and earlier. They are also photos that were taken with an old digital camera, and have file names such as "3 - 141" rather than the more current file naming conventions (but I didn't name these photos - iPhoto did, based on the original roll imports.
    I'm finding it extremely frustrating that iPhoto wasn't upgraded in a way that took into account how previous versions of iPhoto itself worked!.
    Nevermind that I've submitted multiple bug reports about the fact that iPhoto continues to crash every time I try to empty the trash folder, and have heard not a peep out of Apple.

    Hi Samantha,
    I know it must be frustrating. there is some info in the iPhoto Help files for missing photos:
    "What to do about a missing photo
    When you import or edit photos in iPhoto, they are saved in the iPhoto Library folder, located in the Pictures folder on your computer.
    If you move, delete, or otherwise change a photo in the iPhoto Library folder, and then open the iPhoto application and try to edit or use that photo, iPhoto may not be able to find it. You will see the missing photo indicator instead (shown below).
    To find or replace a missing photo:
    If you have the original photo file, either on a CD or on your computer, just import it again into iPhoto. For more information, see Related Topics below.
    If you don't have the original photo, or you are trying to find an edited version, try one of the following options.
    Click your computer's Trash icon (not iPhoto Trash) and see if the photo is still in there.
    Do a search.
    To search within the iPhoto Library folder, open your Pictures folder and then open your iPhoto Library folder. From there, click Command-F, choose Images from the Any pop-up menu, and enter a search term.
    To search all your files and folders, in the Finder, choose File > Find and enter a search term.
    IMPORTANT: When you find the photo file, don't drag it directly into the iPhoto Libary folder. Save it to your desktop, then import it back into iPhoto from there.
    If you don't know the file name, try going back to the original iPhoto Library folder and look at the other images. If one is missing in a numerical order, it may be the photo you're looking for and you can search for it. If that doesn't work, try searching on the date you think you moved the file, or the date you last edited it."
    As far as your file structure, those loose year folders (if empty) can be deleted or dragged to the trash.
    If the Year folders have photos in them that are missing from your library, drag them to the desktop and import the photos into iPhoto.
    Here is how the library should look and what the folders contain.
    iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
    As far as the trash is concerned, move most of the photos back into the library and delete a few at a time, then empty iPhoto's trash.
    Some people have found success on making sure the trash folder is highlighted then go to iPhoto>empty trash.

  • IPhoto 11 - when receiving photos sent from iPhoto 11- can't reply...

    My friend sent me photos directly from her iPhoto 11. When I went to reply to her email with the photos, I hit reply, but I am unable to type anything in. When I went to click out of Mail, it froze and I had to force quit.
    I called another friend who also uses iPhoto 11, and had her send photos from iPhoto 11, also, so I could see if it was just happening with one person. Turns out, the same thing happens.
    I open the email with the photos that were sent to me directly from iPhoto 11, and, again, I am unable to reply, and then, my Mail program freezes and I have to force quit.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Try sending yourself photos directly from iPhoto 11 and see what happens.
    (FWIW, I have iPhoto '09 ). My friends don't do the forums so I figured I'd post and try to find out what's wrong with iPhoto 11 and if it's a known issue. (they are both using iMacs- Mountain Lion)
    Thanks!

    No, it is not my email program. This has been tested out on other computers, as well. I spoke to a lot of folks who have iPhoto 11 and they said they have been having issues with people who can't reply to their emails ONLY when they send photos using iPhoto.
    These same people sent me photos as attachments, sans use of iPhoto and no problem. They also tested it by sending photos via iphoto to other friends as well, and, those people also can not reply to them, either, be it on a Mac or a PC, yet, when the photos are inluded as attachments or drag and dropped in, the emails are able to be replied to.
    Thanks, though, but there's nothing wrong my my email program.
    FWIW, they also sent themselves photos via iPhoto and had the same problem. It's iPhoto 11.

  • Cannot find source list  in iPhoto

    Cannot find "Source List"????  in my iPhoto.  Also  cannot  find photo library.  Thanks

    what do you see? If you launch iPhoto does it work properly? If the source pane is not there move you mouse to the extreme left of the iPhoto window and drag the source pane open again
    By default the iPhoto library is in your pictures folder - why are you looking for it?

  • 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. .

  • IMovie '09 - How do I get photos in from iPhoto?  (It's not working!)

    Hi,
    I have seen posts about difficulties accessing photos in iMovie '09 but can't seem to get it to work for me. I added more photos to iphoto and they won't show up in imovie. I put them in new folders then, but the folders show up with nothing inside. Then I try and drag and drop from iphoto and finder - into all sections of imovie and it still won't work. How do I do this?? I tried editing each photo in iphoto to see if that work work, but no luck still. I really want to add the last few photos to my project!
    Thanks for any thoughts or insight!!

    Hi,
    The problem can be that there is an '&' in the path to your iPhoto-library. I renamed some of my albums in iPhoto. For me this worked, but I'm still using iLife '06.
    If this doesn’t help you can also just drag the photo’s from iPhoto into iMovie of iDVD.
