Capture NX 1.3.0+ iphoto 8 + OS X 10.4.11

The round trip combination works. Saving the edited NEF when leaving NX retains the original plus the edits in the iPhoto library. However iPhoto displays a view of original not the NEF plus edit. Is there a workaround so that iPhoto displays the result of the edits?
(Hope resolution of compatibility of NX and OS10.5 is on the way soon.)

I think there may be a way - here is a technique that worked with Photoshop Elements and iPhoto 6:
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1017&message=18641170
I see no reason why one could not "save" to replace the NEF file with the new one containing the edited version, and then "save as" over the Modified file, as in the note. However, it may be a different procedure with the new iPhoto since Apple keeps changing the database layout, etc.; so I suggest that you try this and report back. I have the previous iPhoto, and have yet to try Capture NX.

  • IPhoto 9.6 and Image Capture can't import from iPhoto, don't recognize devices or SD cards

    I'm running the latest version of Yosemite on a recent MacBook Pro, with iPhoto 9.6. I recently noted when trying to import photos from an SD card that iPhoto didn't recognize the SD card automatically, and ask whether I wanted to import my photos. I was able to manually tell iPhoto to import, and find the photos by navigating to the SD card on the desktop and finding the right directories on it, so I figured it was just a hiccup and went on with my life. But now I've hooked up my iPhone 5S via USB to my Mac, and iPhoto neither recognizes that it's connected nor imports photos from it. Image Capture doesn't recognize it, either.
    A few further notes:
    - I'm running iOS 8.1 on the phone.
    - My phone is unlocked when I'm trying to import photos.
    - iTunes 12 can recognize and connect with the phone just fine.
    Anyone having similar problems? Is there any help for this issue? Thanks much!

    Hello Nathan,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone is not being recognized as a camera on your computer, please follow the directions in the article linked to below.

  • Wrong capture time when importing from iPhoto to FCPX

    I am experiencing a strange problem when importing from iPhoto to FCPX. If I open the info panel in iPhoto I see the real date/time when the picture was taken, but if I import them to an event in FCPX using the PHotos Browser and I check the info it shows the time when the image was imported to IPhoto and everything gets messed up.
    I have search for somebody with same problem but I have not found anything so far.
    MY workaround is to import directy onto the timeline, but it is... well, a workaround.
    Thanks in advance

    Why is knowing that important during the edit?
    Yes, FCP only shows the date imported" date metadata.  Future updates of FCP X I assume will add more metadata support, such as Creation Date and Modification Date, since metadata is vital to FCP X and there are some metadata handling features that are on the way. 

  • Capturing iPhoto Book Temporary PDF File

    In earlier versions of iPhoto, it was possible to capture a copy of the PDF file that is generated and sent to the photo printing service by finding the temporary folder where iPhoto saves the file during the "assembling book..." phase. (For a detailed description, click here -- http://scottierocket.com/mac/capturing-iphoto-book-temporary-pdf-files/)
    However, I can't seem to find the same temporary folder or files when running iPhoto '08. Does anyone know where these temporary files are stored during assembly and uploading?
    Thanks...Neil

    Larry, thanks for the tip -- that looks like it does what I wanted to do!
    In the meantime, I did find a slightly geekier way to do it. For those that care, I've posted the solution to my blog: http://scottierocket.com/mac/capturing-temporary-pdf-files-in-iphoto-08/
    At least that way, I learned a bit more Mac OS X command-line geek-fu!

  • How to get pics from iphone to iphoto library on hard drive

    Hi there. I saved my photo library to an EHD. I pointed iphoto to open the library from EHD. Normally when I connect my iphone to my macbook pro, iphoto just pops up asking to import the pics from my phone. But now it doesn't do that and it doesn't show my phone on the left pane of i photo. How do I get my pics and videos from my iphone into the iphoto library i saved on my ehd? Thanks!

    Greetings,
    Make sure your external hard drive is Mac formated and has a reasonable amount of space available.
    --- Side note:  If you haven't already, you should tell TimeMachine to backup that external hard drive as Time Machine only backs up your internal hard drive by default.
    Try:
    1. Install all software updates for both your computer and your iPhone and turn both on and off and re-plug the cable between them.
    2. Try importing your pictures and movies using Image Capture found in Macintosh HD > Applications.
    -- If Image Capture sees your iPhone when iPhoto does not, try creating a new iPhoto library on your internal drive to see if that library can see your iPhone.  This is done by launching iPhoto while holding down the option key.
    If those steps do not help, follow this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3195
    Cheers.

  • Stop iPhoto starting up!

    This is probably a fairly simple thing to do, but for some reason I can't get my head around it...
    Is there a way to connect my iPhone to my mac without iPhoto starting up automatically? I do want iTunes to start, as this is set up to sync calendars, music, contacts, apps etc automatically, but I specifically set up photos not to sync at all, so don't need iPhoto to start!
    It gets annoying when you have already imported photos from the iPhone into iPhoto, but because the photos are still on the phone it thinks you always want to import... help me!
    Thanks

    In iPhoto > iPhoto menu > Preferences > General tab, set the 'Connecting camera opens:' pop-up to No Application. (Note: if you're using a version of iPhoto +prior to+ iLife '08, this setting is in Applications > Image Capture's preferences, instead of iPhoto.)
    Note that this will apply to all cameras/memory cards - there's no way to make it specific to the iPhone.
    Also note that if your Camera Roll is empty, iPhoto will not open. You can transfer any pics to iPhoto, delete from the phone at the end of the transfer, then re-sync them to the phone so they're in the iPhone's photo library not the Camera Roll. That's safer for the photos, and means that unless you've taken new pics, iPhoto won't open.

  • IPhone & iPhoto '08 movies

    Hello. I have just installed Snow Leopard on my Mac & I use iPhoto '08. I have tried playing videos that I captured using my iPhone through iPhoto but they aren't playing. Does anyone know why? I have had a search on here and someone said to go back into the snow leopard install folder and install the QuickTime 7 which I have done but after I restarted my machine the videos still don't play. I can play the videos through the QuickTime Player separately but not through iPhoto.
    Thanks.

    Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) will recover material from your phone or camera.

  • IPhoto can't detect device (Memory card reader or Camcorder)

    2 days ago i inported videos from my canon LEGRIA HF G30 to my imac usin iPhoto with a few problem (Keep quiting but bit by bit i have done it). Today i can see my CANON icon on the descktop, but can't see it in iPhoto. I belive the folt it's from the last upgrade or update becouse i try it on my MacBook Pro, still have same problem.
    Need help please.
    Kind Regards

    I have the same (I think) problem. When I connect my iPhone or iPad via USB to my Mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro, the devices are not seen by either iPhoto or even Image Capture. iTunes sees both, and syncs activities are normal. Tried a camera SD card in the SD slot. It shows up in Finder, but does not show up in iPhoto or Image Capture.
    I'm on iPhoto 9.5.1, Image Capture 6.3, and OS 10.9.2.
    Anyboby know what's going on?

  • IPhoto just destroyed my pictures.

    I feel sick.
    My workflow:
    Import pics from camera using Image Capture. Browse. Use iPhoto with "Copy Items to the iPhoto Library" unchecked just for red-eye correction, enhancement, etc, then export back to original folder so I can archive the corrected pics.
    Has always worked until now: after editing, the originals are simply gone. iPhoto erased them, and all that is left are the 60k thumbnail versions in the data folder. I cannot believe the idiocy behind this application.
    Yes, I know. I should have backed up first, then worked on a copy.
    But still. Who the h--- would design a program that destroys the data it imports?
    I am erasing all traces of this sub-amateur piece of s--- from my computer.

    Rather like yourself, I‘ll accept the diagnosis of iPhoto Error once it is definitively shown. For that you’ll need to replicate the event, and provide step-by-step instructions for others to do so. If you can then you’ll have made a very useful addition to our knowledge of the application.
    From your Workflow, the problem arises here:
    So I'll import the photo or photos with red eyes in them, with, as I said before, the preference to copy the photos to the iPhoto library unchecked...Then, corrections and edits complete...
    The pics were available for editing, which means the Originals were in place.
    I export from iPhoto back to the Finder.
    Thing is, the files that are missing here are the Modified version, not the Original files. You’re not exporting the Originals, you’re exporting the edited versions.
    Once you’ve opened the files for editing, iPhoto never refers to them again. And even if it did, it could only refer to those ones that were imported. It simply does not know about the other files at all.
    So, while iPhoto may have lost the *Edited Versions* how could it also have lost the Originals?
    As you know when you edit in iPhoto (and this is regardless of whether you’re running a Referenced or Managed Library) the app +opens a copy+ of the Original file and saves the changes to the Modified version in the Modified Folder.
    So, again, iPhoto does not touch the Original, does not move it, delete it, overwrite it. It copies the contents into RAM, that’s all. Iphoto carries out the edits as saves them back to the disk +in another file+ entirely.
    So, there’s the area in your Workflow to focus your research on.
    If I might, a comment on your Workflow. And again, I stress, I offer these comments for those who may read this post in a month’s or year’s time as much as for yourself.
    I’m profoundly committed to the KISS principle - Keep it Simple, er, Stewart, or something !
    The problem with complex workflows is that over time, with tiredness or distractions, it’s too easy to make a fatal error. Folks don’t make errors the first time they use the workflow. The error will happen the 58th time, or the 123rd time, or the time the baby cries or the dog barks or the doorbell goes, it’s late... whatever.
    You’re using three apps: Image Capture to move the files from your camera, The Finder (or something else) to browse them and iPhoto to edit them, and they are crossing over each other to manage the files, or you’re trying to prevent them managing the files. In essence, they are each claiming the same data, or trying to. Thing is, iPhoto can do all three jobs seamlessly.
    A more simple version of the workflow might run like this:
    Import the Pics into iPhoto (with ‘Copy Files...’ checked.) Iphoto copies the pics into the Library. View, sort and edit as you require. Now you’ve fixed your red-eye, made whatever crops you need, made edits using Photoshop or whatever external editor.
    Then Export from iPhoto: If you want the Original files, use the File -> Export command, Kind: Original... If you want the edited versions plus the untouched Originals... then Kind: Current will get those. If you want both then you’re probably best just using iPhoto
    Now you have your pics in the Finder, store them as you will.
    Then, trash the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder. The whole thing, as a single unit. Just drag the Library to the trash and empty it. Next time you open iPhoto it’s like using it for the first time.
    This way you have a single application all the way through the process until you go to store the files.
    That and a dollar may buy you a cup of coffee some places.

  • Yosemite Can't Auto Delete In Image Capture

    I have always used Image Capture instead of something like iPhoto or Aperture to transfer my iOS device pictures to my Mac. Since Yosemite, something has changed. There    used to be a "Delete after importing" button in Image Capture, but now there is no such button:
    Everything is the same otherwise. The button is also listed in Help, but it doesn't exist in the app:
    Is anyone else having this issue? I am using an iPad Air and a Mac Pro.

    I noticed this immediately after "upgrading" to Yosemite and it's very annoying. I have a 16GB iPhone and capture many photos/videos of my kids then download them to my MacBook every week or two. The removal of the delete button in Image Capture makes copying photos/videos off the iPhone a clunky process where I have to download them and then go to the phone and manually delete everything I just copied (then go empty the new 30 day deleted items folder to actually free up that space). In theory the iCloud shared photos will be an alternate to this but that's in beta right now and is not an instantaneous way to download a video recently captured directly to the computer. I realize Apple just wants me to buy a larger storage capacity phone but it's really annoying to lose features that were quick and simple and replace them with clunky multi step processes.

  • Im cap to iPhoto, location of files?

    Where can I find the photos that I imported via Image Capture to be sent to iPhoto?
    Recently, I started using Image Capture to import photos.  I believed that they would be automatically imported into iPhoto.  I believe that has happened on a few occasions (maybe I misunderstood).  Now, I can't seem to find the photos.
    I searched through the forums and the answer seems to be in the iPhoto library, using Show contents.
    Can someone elaborate on this for me?

    Quick Question: Did you use import the photos with  Image Capture to later add them to iPhoto?
    Or did you import then via  Image Capture directly to iPhoto?
    Or put another way... Can you see them in the iPhoto Window?

  • Image Capture App Not recognizing Iphone

    Using a MBP with 10.5 with most recent updates. Running iphone 1.14
    Iphoto does not import my pictures from my iphone. This is because image capture doesn't recognize it.
    I have read many posts about this and will let you know what I have tried so far.
    - Disabled auto syncing in itunes and image capture
    - deleted the plist for iphoto, image capture, and preview.
    - reinstalled image capture from original leopard cd using pacifist.
    - reset and rebooted both devices many times.
    I have an alternate install of OS X Leopard on an external USB drive which works well with my iphone and image capture, shows up right away.
    Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be. I have given up, tried everything I could think of, but I know the problem lies with image capture not recognizing the iphone.

    Already tried a connection without a hub, on both usb ports on the macbook.
    As for secondary software that might interfere, none installed to my knowledge.
    Well it looks like the mac quote of "it just works" doesnt work in my situation, I dont feel like booting to my second hard drive just to sync the photos. So I guess I will have to wait until my new macbook for a fresh install because I dont want to erase everything currently on my book.
    might try and install and archive next time I have some serious software issues and hopefully that will solve my problems.

  • IPhone photos won't go onto Mac with iPhoto

    I need some photos on my iPhone put onto my Mac.
    I usually connect my iPhone into the USB cable which connects to the Mac.
    I then open iPhoto on the Mac.
    iPhoto then loads the iPhone's photos.
    Now, iPhoto says loading... and nothing happens. No iPhone photos load.
    Any help please?

    Launch Image capture from your applications folder. Does Image capture see these photos? If so, import them using Image capture, then drop them in iPhoto. Make sure you delete them from your phone after you import.

  • IPhoto opens at start up

    Every time I turn on the computer, iPhoto opens up. How do I make it stop? Or never really start, actually.

    Two options. Its in your login items or Image Capture is set to open iPhoto when a camera or picture disk is inserted (and you have one inserted).
    Check System Preferences>Accounts>Your user>Login Items tab and see if iPhoto is in the list. If so, select it and click the "-" button.
    If not, Open Image Capture, go to preferences, and set the option to open iPhoto when a camera is connected to No Application.

  • IPhoto 11 wont mount my camera ( Canon XTi )

    I just upgraded iPhoto '09 to '11, applied the update to v9.1, launched it and viewed my library without problem. Then connected my Canon XTi and now my Macbook no longer sees my camera. Its not listed in the System Profiler under USB, iPhoto does not launch automatically, nor can I see it in Image Capture. I trashed the iPhoto pref/plist, rebooted. Still no detection of the camera. Stumped !!! Any ideas? Thanks in advance - Mike

    Found my issue. Total coincidence it appears the mini usb cable I was using failed. I tried another and iPhoto popped right up. What are the chances of that?? Oh well......
