Comparing original photos to edited

Hope someone can help. Just upgraded to a new Macbook and Lion. Looking back at my photos, I am realizing that my editing skills ahve improved but would like to really compare by switching between the original library and Iphoto. I can't locate the original files on my computer. My pictures go all the way back to my film days. Is there a way to look at the original library and look at Iphoto at the same time?

Thank you, that's the answer I was looking for just now.

  • Original photo and edited photo are no longer stacked and appear now as two photo

    I have a problem that my edited photos are separated from the original photo so I have two photos side  by side.  I am afraid to delete the original photo for fear of not being able to open the edited photo but I really do not want to have two photos, one edited photo that looks nice and one unedited photo that is not so nice next to each other in my album.  How can I restack these?  Also if I bring over the edited photo into Revel will it have the information needed to display the picture?

  • Keeping original photo after edit it?

    I have the iphone 5c.  When I edit a photo using the photos app, like cropping it, the original photo disappears and only the edited photo is still there.  Sometimes though I want to keep the original along with the cropped photo.  I have the same problem when I use iphoto.  Is there any way to keep the original photo as well as the edited one?  

    Edward,
    I believe to prevent the renaming of your original files you'll need to go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>General and uncheck Keep iTunes Music folder organized.

  • Transfer photos from iPhoto (iOS) to iPhoto Mac, keeping original photo when edited?

    I've been on a vacation and used iPhoto on my iPad Mini to save and edit a few pics on the go. I want to transfer these photos to my Mac (iPhoto), but I also wan to keep the original photo for the edited ones. This is very easy for iOS devices as you can transfer them wirelessly between the devices, but I haven't found a similar way between my iOS device and the Mac. I can transfer the pictures either via iTunes or the camera roll, but both these ways only transfers the edited picture, not the original. Any one knows?

    Use iOS 6.0.1 on your device and a computer running Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.x) and the latest version of iPhoto.
    With iCloud and PhotoStream turned on, photos shared to the Camera Roll or taken with the device are copied to your PhotoStream. When you start iPhoto on your Mac you'll see a PhotoStream selection in the left column your Camera Roll Photos will be there. Copy them to the albums you want to store them in or export them to other folders on your computer for back up.

  • What happened to the "Quickly view original photo" while editing in iPhoto?

    I think it used to be "spacebar" or something in iPhoto 9, it quickly switched between the original photo and your current changes which was very useful.

    Hold the Shift key.

  • What happens to the original photo after editing?  Does it get replaced by the edited photo?

    I just bought my first iPhone(5).  On Android, when editing a photo, the original stays in your gallery and the edited photo gets placed right next to it.  So what I want to know is, When editing a photo in the photo app, what happens to the original since it would be nice to be able to make different edits of it.

    That is an excellent question. This is definitely not the programmed behavior of Photoshop Elements. Normally, when you edit a file, a new copy of the file is created (the original is simply left alone). This new copy of the file will have "_edited-1" added to the end of the name. It should definitely not be adding $ to the name at all.
    Just as a test, create a new user account on your computer, and try editing another image to see if does the same thing there. However, I suspect there is another application on your computer that is modifying how files are saved, deleted, and renamed.

  • Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo.  Or "cannot find original photo".  Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

    Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo.  Or "cannot find original photo".  Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

    I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it.  I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go.  I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it.  My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue.  It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking.  It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above.  I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes.  It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me.  She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

  • How do I stop my original photo from changing after I edit then save it in Raw 7

    How do I stop my original image from changing after I save the edited version in Camera Raw 7. I want to be able to keep the original intact and
    also have the edited version. Also, if I want to work the new edited version in the future I would want to also keep that old version.
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks for this great solution NoelHave a great day and weekend

  • Can anyone tell me how to separate original photo files from the edited files in Photoshop Elements 13?

    We run a child sponsorship program and we only use the edited files and delete the originals after they are edited due to space restrictions. We are using Mac's and we save our photo files each month into a folder (Not Iphoto) and then pull them into Photoshop Elements 13 to edit and resize.  When they are saved, Photoshop Organizer saves the edited files in the same file folder as the original.  We then have to manually go through and delete the original Photos.  We tried exporting and that does only export the edited files, but is there any way to edit photos and then the edited photos go into a separate file?

    For all 5000 photos?  Surely there is a simpler way after we go through and crop each photo and clean it up and then resize it?
    I imagine that what you want, once you have edited your month files in their month folder, is to delete the original and keep only the 'top' file in the version set. Then select all the files in your folder (Ctrl A), right click on any thumbnail and choose 'Version set'. In the dialog that opens, select 'flatten version sets'.

  • Original Photo Saved After an Edit?

    I want to edit some of my pictures, but want to be able to return to the original picture later.
    Does iphoto '08 save an original copy somewhere and if so, where? I am concerned that the"original" photo is lost after an edit change.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    iPhoto preserves your original file at all times. All operations - edits, exports, whatever - are carried out on an copy of the original. You can revert to the original at any time by using the Photos -> Revert to Original command.

  • Saving edited and original photo

    I know that I can revert to the original image after editing, but I want to keep and be able to see the original and the new edited image. Is this possible in iPhoto 09?
    Also, I can't seem to cut a photo from one event and paste it into another event. Am I doing something wrong? I know I can drag it from one event to another, however that gets very tedious if I need to move it a long ways (drag from event to event to get it where I want).

    Wait, I'm having trouble with editing my duplicated images. Part of the problem is that I want to do my red-eye reduction in Photoshop (which does a much better job than iPhoto, sadly). Here's my process:
    1. In iPhoto, right-click on desired image and choose "Duplicate."
    2. Drag duplicate photo from iPhoto window onto Photoshop icon on dock.
    3. Perform red-eye reduction in Photoshop, save (overwrite) duplicate file.
    When I go back into iPhoto, the Photoshop red-eye reduction appears in the duplicated photo, as intended. However, if I attempt to make additional changes within iPhoto (for instance, adding color effects or edge blur), I lose my beloved Photoshop red-eye reduction!
    I thought that when you duplicate a photo in iPhoto, it essentially creates two "originals" -- two independent files. However, my problem would suggest that the duplicate file is still linked to the true original. Is that correct? And if so, is there any way to accomplish what I'm trying to do within iPhoto, or do I have to import a second version of the photo (i.e. drag file from Finder into iPhoto) in order to trick iPhoto into thinking it's a different photo (independent file)?

  • IOS 5 overwriting original photo when saving edits

    I've recently upgraded to an iPhone 4S running iOS 5 and I think I've found a bug in the Photos app. When a photo is edited and saved in the Photos app, the original photo is overwritten.
    I've seen this behavior on three AT&T iPhones (a 4S and two 4s). A friend with a Verizon 4S saw the behavior intermittently - sometimes Photos offered to save the edited version as a copy of the original. I don't know anyone with a 3GS to ask about this behavior.
    Anyone else?

    I found two ways to restore the original photo: one easy, one stupid.
    The easy way: open the photo in iPhoto for editing. Choose the crop tool. This should make the "Revert to original" button activate. Click it to restore the original photo.
    The stupid way: open the photo in the Photos app for editing. Choose the crop tool. You should see your original photo with the crop marks showing where you cropped it originally. You can recrop here, if you want. Move the crop marks so the cover the entire photo and touch the Crop button to restore the original photo and save it.
    @Dave, do you have an actual "revert to original" button in the Photos app on your iPhone 4? I don't have it on my iPhone 4S. I also don't have the option to save a copy, though I've seen the screen shot in various iOS 5 reviews.

  • Edited photos in iOS show original photo after import or in iPhoto for MAC

    If I edit a photo using the Photos app (or one the filter integrated now with Photos app) and then import that photo to my Mac (both using iphoto or import) or PC (both using import or with cloud photo integration), and sometimes if i try to view the photo using another iOS app, the photo display the original, unedited version.
    the only way seems to duplicate the picture or to send it by mail.
    but when you have hundreds of pics, that is not a solution any more..
    and most of all i don't even want to import both the original and the edited version.
    i found this issue in an apple support page: below the link..
    but that page doesn't offer a solution one most of all it says that iphoto shouldn't have the issue...
    can you help me?
    thanks
    iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

    - you lose quality
    - but at least is fast
    Sent by mail:
    - it keep full resolution
    - you still lose all other informations..
    - it is ok for a picture but not good for several..

  • How to edit a original photo saved on my hdd in iPhoto without copying?

    I have all my photos organized into folders saved in Pictures on my HDD, and i have unchecked the box in iPhoto which copies them into iPhoto, but what I want to know is how do I edit the original photo? it is edited in iPhoto but not in the original location (that picture is still the old one) i don't really understand why you would want 2 of the same picture, saved in different locations? I want to edit in iPhoto and it change the original! can this be done?? if not what app can?? Thanks!

    iPhoto is not a Photo editor. That's what you're looking for. iPhoto will never edit an original file, that's why it's a lossless processor. Photoshop et al are editors, they will change the original file and so are lossy editors. You prefer that way of working so you're best off not using iPhoto at all.
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)

  • How to ID the original photo of a group of edits if all are titled similarl

    I am trying to clean out, organize, straighten out my 3000+ photos in iPhoto '08.
    Over the years I have made copies and edits of original photos in the Photo Library. Some of those copies I placed in separate albums, but many times I simply made a copy of the original, edited it, and left it there! I now realize that the Photo Library should house only the original, not the edited photos, but this knowledge came late to me. Also: Not only did I edit my original pictures, but I renamed them, and just looking at the new titles is not sufficient info to detect the original.
    If I look at the ”i“ button to get into on a picture, would I be correct in assuming that the picture with the biggest KB is the original? Say, if I have five photos of my dog, all edited from one lone photo, and titled 'Cheyenne,' 'Cheyenne in pool,' etc, the one with the most KB or MB is the original? But what if in an edit, I make a picture darker, saturate it with color, and make it denser. Would that not make an edited picture actually ”denser?”

    The Original will be the largest file. It's a very solid and sensible rule of thumb and will be correct in about 99.999999% of cases.
    But what if in an edit, I make a picture darker, saturate it with color, and make it denser. Would that not make an edited picture actually ”denser?”
    No. When you edit a jpeg it is recompressed and it is inevitable that each generation is smaller than the last. In about 99.999999% of cases.
