Change/edit/modify "Photo Info"?

First of all, I apologize if this has been answered more than once. I am new to these forums and after being frustrated for about 30 minutes because I could not find a search facility for the forums, I eventually found this post telling me it was temporarily turned off (!):
http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=639
Anyway, back to my question...
I have some photos that I have copied to my MacBook, edited and published into a me.com gallery, but I don't seem to have found a way to change the "photo info" for any photograph. Perhaps I am just missing something obvious somewhere, but I would like to add entries for Camera: Maker, Model, Software, etc. but have not found a way of doing this...
Any suggestions appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That information is already in the file. Check the file with Reveal and you'll see that the the camera model is already listed. The items that can be edited or changed are: the capture date/time, description and the various exposure elements. However, iPhoto doesn't read all of those items upon import and display them. So you won't be able to increase what is viewed in the web gallery's info pane.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

While editing, my photos stopped changing. Even as the red line moves and music plays, the photo is stuck. How do I fix it?

While editing, muy photos stopped changing. Even as the red line moves and the music plays, the photo is stuck on first frame. How do I fix this?

BDAqua and old comm guy,
thanks so much for the good advice. I used both of these and now the problem has stopped. first I checked the finder crash logs and yes, my finder had been crashing repeatedly.
next I removed the preferences files from the library, rebooted from the CD and ran disk utility to repair preferences. since then my computer has been stable.
there were some preferences that didn't get repaired when I ran disk utility. I am copying them here to refer to later if I need to. I don't understand what these mean to me:

I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

How can I change my Profile photo or edit the thumbnail?

QuestionHow can I change my Profile photo or edit the thumbnail?
AnswerThere are a couple of different ways to change your profile photo or thumbnail image on Tagged.
Here's a quick How-to video that shows you how to change your profile photo
If you wish to change your profile photo, follow the instructions listed below:
Hover your mouse over 'More' in the top Nav bar and select Photos.
To use one of your previously uploaded photos as your profile photo, place the cursor over the photo you wish to use, and click the small green “#1” box when it appears
If you wish to use a new image as your profile photo, upload the image to your photo gallery, and then click the small green “#1” box on the photo
If you are viewing one of your photos individually, you can also set it as your profile photo by hovering over it and clicking the same green "#1" button. You may also edit the caption and comment on your photo in this view
You can also change your profile photo by doing the following:
On the Navigation bar click Profile and select the Edit Profile link to the left of your Profile picture.
To upload a photo locally from your computer, click the “Browse” button, select the image you wish you use, and then click “Upload”.
To upload a photo using an image URL address, click the “Add from image URL” link, paste the URL address into the field, and click “Add Photo”.
To use a photo from your gallery, click the “Use one of my photos” link to open a thumbnail gallery of your uploaded images. Click on a thumbnail to set that image as your profile photo.
After selecting a photo, you can alter its thumbnail by the marquee box by dragging the “anchor” points of the box. When you are finished, click "Save Thumbnail"

HELP! I was fooling around with my profile pic and selected and saved a cropped thumbnail. I hate it, and I haven't been able to figure out how to return my thumbnail to just a mini-version of my full profile pic. I've even re-up-loaded a copy of the original photo, with a different file name, but Tagged automatically crops it to the same thumbnail. Is there any way to return my thumbnail to just a mini-version of my whole pic? Thanks for your help :~)

After editing a photo and turning off edit the photo changes

So I am doing some extreme editing of some of my photos to get drastic, surrealistic effects....when I get it where i like it and turn off edit, the photo is ok for a moment and then changes to something completely different..... any way to make the effects I see when in edit mode stay once edit mode is clicked off...

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IPhoto editing GPS 'Extended Photo Info'/ 'Location'

iPhoto 09 V8
Photos in the library without the GPS Data in the 'Extended Photo Info'/ 'Location' wish to manually update.
Also edit the GPS field.
How can I get access to this field?
Also, when importing 'new' photos is there a process to add the GPS Data at this time?

True, but I am a new Mac user, just had the machine a week. Just wanted to get going....new toy and all that
I plan to spend a few weeks using it, finding software etc, adding /installing apps etc and then when the new HDD's (3x 1TB WD Blacks) arrive, do a complete fresh install of OS and software I need.
What with different video/audio/Vinyl ripping/GPS and system apps, I have probably installed/uninstalled about 30 apps in the last few days. A fair bit of crap seems to be left in User Libraries when apps are removed. I though I had left software that leaves bits of itself all over the system when it is removed behind with Windows, but obviously not So once I find my way around a bit, I will be doing a clean OS re install once i find software I am happy with.
Was planning to create the iPhoto library, back it up re install Leopard and drag it back.
If I gotta do it again , then so be it....now to find some geotagging software that I like.
Photoshop Elements....that can edit metadata/EXIF tags in Windows at leastmaybe it will be the same in Mac?
Aperture? I have bought that, have not looked at it yet though.
Was expecting a much easier job of it. All the hype I have been hearing about Macs from mates made me thing theywere real easy to use, did not crash/freeze up etc. Mine has hung 4 times already, twice on shutdown, and also randomly when using iPhoto.

Photo info not updating

I used Photoshop to edit a photo and then saved it. Specifically I changed the dimensions of the photo which made file size smaller. But the info for the photo still shows the original size and dimensions. I chose "show file" and the file the thumbnail is pointing to is the correct file for which the finder info shows the new and correct info and the correct modified date and time. But within iphoto I can't seem to get it to update or refresh the info.

Turns out that if I set Photoshop as the default editor and then click on edit from the photo, then the info changes appropriately. Before I had iphoto set as the default editor and when I wanted to edit with photoshop I would right click on the image, choose "show file" and then click on the actual file in order to open and edit in photoshop. Using that method, the info in iphoto would not recognize that the image had ben modified.

Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file.

Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file. The error message reads "cannot complete your request because of a program error" -- it is a very large file (I have been saving it all along) and I had just "flattened layers" and went to open up a new, blank photo file when it shut down. Is there anyway to get this file to open? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (p.s. after reading a couple of similar threads, I have a feeling it's hopeless. But I'd also like to know WHY this might have happened!) Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and for sharing the article--I did panic. Here are the details of my system:
Model: HP p7-1247c
Processor: AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
Installed Memory: 8 GB (7.48 usable)
System Type: 64-bit
Windows 7 Home Premium
I am using Photoshop CS3. It seems that I can work on photos and save them. But I am unable to open them back up. I have tried saving the files as psd and tiff with the same result. The error message is: "cannot complete your request because of a program error"
The interesting thing is that I can open up InDesign and "place" the psd file within InDesign (then export and save as a jpeg). So I don't think the files are necessarily corrupted. I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it last night, but there's no change.
If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Or, should I repost my question with this more complete info? Thank you!

Name of track changes to modified date when importing mp4

I have two .mp4 files: (both names listed below are the filenames)
Valentines Day Torin.mp4 with a modified filed date of 02/15/2010
Phoebe Confirmation Entrance.mp4 with a modified date of 03/18/2010
When I import the Valentines Day Torin file, the filename stays the same. The "Name" field is also the filename. This is what I want.
When I import the Phoebe Confirmation Entrance, the filename stays the same. The "Name" field is changed to "Mar 18, 2010 3:52pm".
Anyone know why?
Also, does anyone know how to get iTunes to stop changing the modified date on files when you change any info in the "Get Info" area.
I find it quite hard to import a lot of home videos into Itunes. File name length limitations, changing of modified dates, just can't figure this out..
I have all my videos in order according to the modified date since titles can't be more than 36 characters, but can't figure out an easy way to sort chronologically.
Thanks,
Derek

Check the file withEXIF Viewer or Reveal to see what the EXIF Capture Date is. iPhoto uses that for photos from digital cameras.

A variation on a theme - iPhoto and modified photos

I want to ask a question that's been asked before, but with a twist: I just spent several hours editing photos I had imported into iPhoto. Photoshop Elements is set as my preferred editor in iPhoto. After editing each photo, I chose "Save for Web." I did not change the names, thinking that these were being saved in a different location than the originals. Now, when I go to find the edited photos, Spotlight does, in fact, show two versions of the edited photos, one under path Users/myusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library/modified/2009/eventname
The original is under path Users/myusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/2009/eventname
I'd like to post some of the modified pics to a Website (not iWeb), but I can't get to them. I can find them and open them individually. Is this what I have to do? Open each modified pic individually and then save it to another location?

FWIW here are some tips on using PSE with iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

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.

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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Modified photos as thumbnail in iphoto

Dear Anybody,
When I modify a photo in Photoshop (chosen as the editor within iPhoto), the modified photo is kept in the modified folder but not as the new thumbnail. iPhoto only keeps the original photo as the thumbnail and it will not bring up the modified photo the next time I want to work on it. If I "save" the photo in photoshop the original photo is changed. If I use "save as" there is a copy in the "modified folder" of iphoto but I can not see the modified folder in iphoto. This is the same problem somone else wrote some time ago, but is there any solution?
Thanks a lot

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
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.
You must use the Save command. If you use the Save As command you are creating a new file. This must be first saved to the desktop and then imported to iPhoto.

TD
