Copying / Saving a Photo

How do I copy a pic from the internet and save it in iPhoto? After I highlight the pic, how do I save it?

You can not "save" any photo to iphoto - drag the photo to the desktop and then drag it to iPhoto thereby importing it to iPhoto

Saving edited photo

I use an external USB drive to store my original photos and preserve edited versions. I have unchecked the "Copy items to photo library" in the advaned preferences since I do not want my photos to get copied in the libray.
When I perform an edit on a photo how can I tell iPhoto to save this file on my external drive? From what I understand all you can do is click on the DONE button when finished editing. However I want to make sure I have a version of that jpg saved on my external drive and not in the library. Is this possible? If not then I assume I have to used a different editor that will let me save the edited version.
Not very practical.
Thanks for your feedback

Hi Larry,
Thanks for your response.
My decision to keep my photos external to iPhoto is based on the followings:
1-I want to keep the ability to have my photos available to other OS (Windows) and applications. I do sometime use a diffrerent system (windows) to view my photos. I cannot afford to have only a proprietary format such as iPhotLibrary to manage my photos.
2-I have been using iPhoto for 6 months now and it recently has lost one of my 400 photo slideshow (long story). So I cannot trust iPhoto at this stage to manage everything I need to do with my photos. My iPhoto Library appeared corrupted so I had to created my iPhotoLibrary from scratch.
Regarding your stateent:
+You have instructed iPhoto not to touch your originals and it is doing just what you requested - iPhoto will not to anything to any photo that is not in the iPhoto library.+
note that this is true for both cases (check or unchecked). iPhotoLibray will not modify your originals either if they sit within iPhotoLIbrary or not. Any edits will generate a new copy in the Modified folder (regardles of option checked/unchecked). The original is either kept inside iPhotoLibrary (option checked) or externally (option unchecked).

How to break the link between photoshop and lightroom when saving a photo?

I've had an ongoing issue with saving copies of photos I import from LR to PS and back into LR. Any multiple copies I make get erased when they move back to LR. My solution has been to save a copy in an extra folder apart from Lightroom and import them in later. It's rough, but it works. But now I have a new demon.
I tweaked a photo in LR, made a copy to keep it safe, then sent the copy over to PH where I did some magic. I Saved As in that special other folder, closed the tab, got the usual box asking if I wanted to save the changes (of course I did), I went back to LR to see both the original and copy changed over to the PS version. I went back to PS, opened the .psd, unclicked the mask, clicked the checkbox, when back to LR and both the original and copy in LR had the mask removed.
I'm missing something here.
There m u s t be a way to break the link between PS and LR so that when I save a copy of a photo I made in LR the original and copy remain two separate photos. Does anyone know how?
Thanks,

I think I am a little confused. What you are describing seems more like a Project Server "Profile" issue, than a SharePoint to MS Project Sync.
If my guess is correct, then you just need to set the default profile to be something other than your computer.
If I am wrong, a screenshot of the error would be really helpful.

Any way to import a copy of a photo with the same name without renaming?

I organize all my photos in my picture folder on my desktop, and I sometimes copy and paste the same photo into different folders so that I can use them for different purposes without having to hunt them down. I've never had to rename them as long as I've put them into a new folder, but when I imported my picture files into Lightroom 3, it only took the first copy of any picture and left out the other copies in subsequent folders. Is there any way to fool Lightroom into importing them without having to go back and rename all of them?
Thanks so much for any help!

Thanks for the tip . . . I found the checkbox and it worked just fine!
The reason I store multiple copies of the same photo is because I edit photos for my daughter's online business. I always keep an original folder that does not get touched, then make copies of the photos I am going to edit for her in a seperate folder so that I know exactly which ones I'm working with (I don't edit ALL the photos). Once I make my edits, I store the edits in her business file (since she does not need any of the others) and delete the copies; therefore leaving my originals untouched. I was trying to pull some "edits in progress" into LR to throw a preset on them, and it wouldn't allow me to because it had already downloaded the original in a previous folder. Maybe not the best way to organize photos, but it seems to have worked so far. Especially with the volume of photos I deal with for my daughter's business as well as my personal stuff. Another reason I make copies of the same photo is when I'm downloading photos to Facebook. They are not always contained in the same folder, so I make a copy of the photos I want for FB then just edit and download that folder. When I'm done, I delete it after moving the edits. But there may come a time I'll want to pull that folder into LR just to work on those selected photos. Hence the need for duplicates.
I just got LR3 yesterday, and my instructional book should arrive today. I plan on reading it and hopefully it will provide a better way to organize my folders if you say this is not a good idea. I have no idea what "virtual" folders are, but definitely plan on looking in to it. Thanks so much for your advice!

I have had an iphone 3, 4, 4S, and now a 5. Every picture I have ever taken is saved as "photo". How do I change the auto naming format to a more sequential name?

Why I am not able to copy and paste photos from my desktop to my Itouch?

I am not able to copy and paste photos from my computer to my Itouch. I use to be able to do it. Now there is an error message that says my device is wither disconnected or stopped responding.
But when I plugged in the Itouch, it still shows on my computer, still able to see my existing pictures in it. Just not able to paste/drag any new pictures into the folder.
Anyone has this problem and able to solve it?
Thank you.

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

How do I print more than one copy of a photo at a time?

I am trying to add a photo to a card, but I can only print one at a time. How do I print more than one copy of a photo at a time?

Do you want to print more than one card or more than one photo on a card?
To print multiple photos on one page select the photos and print, select the printer, paper size, photo size (obviously the photos will have to be sized so the number you want will fit inclusing a small border) and click customize - in teh settings select multiple photos per page (the preview will reflect your selection) and click print - make any printer specific selections and click print to print

Since a week I can not save the edited photos - when I try the communicate: "Caould not complete your request because of a program error" appeares. I had no problem with saving edited photos before, with the same software. My computer runs on Windows 8, 64 bit version. My Photoshop Elements is version 5.0. Where is the problem?

My wife just got the new macbook air. What cable do I need to copy music and photos from my 2007 macbook to the new macbook air?

Try doing it without a cable!
Use AirDrop, described here:

UPDATE - Oh, sorry, I see the article points out the MacBook is too old for AirDrop.

Can't copy a particular photo to USB drive!?

I tried to copy a few photos to a USB drive. When copying one by one, all but one copies across. On the problem photo, I get "The volume is the wrong format for a backup." This happens only on that one photo. The photos are all jpg formats. The problem photo is not the biggest or smallest in size.
The USB disk and partition are formated MSDOS-FAT. Using Disk Utility, I erased the partition and disk, and retried to no avail.
A last note, is that the problem photo is the only one I tinkered with in iPhoto to brighten the shadows.
Any ideas?

Because FAT is a bad drive format - for example it will only handle a small number of files - this photo may have been the nth + 1 on a drive that will hold N files
It has other strange properties too - putting the photos in a folder eliminates most of the issues

CAN ANY ONE HELP

The confusing part is that Mail is doing this inconsistently.
Take a look at this article and see if it helps eventhough it is written for Mac OS X 10.5 it should be true for other versions.
Look at the point about directing Mail to a location for Sent mail and see if that helps.
For some reason certain messages are being saved in the wrong location.

Can anyone help me copy and paste photos from iPhoto to memory stick

Open up Finder and go to your flash drive. Now open up iPhoto and drag and drop the pictures you want into the flash drive folder.
By the way, how is your PPC mac running Lion?

I would like to copy and paste photos from iphoto to a cd for use

I would like to copy and paste photos from iphoto to a cd for use. How can I do this so it can be used for further work in other computers without iphoto?

You can't do that.
Export the Photos (File -> Export) to a folder on the desktop. Then burn that to the CD using the Finder's Burn Disk command.
