CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS

Is there any way to cut and paste photos within a folder (like on a PC) without downloading a program? I'm talking about changing the order of the photos.Drag and drop is a pain and takes too long if you have an extreme amount of pics. Also, copy and paste is just an extra step. Tx!

When you trying to arrange 500 downloaded photos in the order that you want them it is not the same time drag then it is to cut and paste.
Maybe you should look at why you are trying to manually arrange 500 photos in a specific order, which sounds like exactly the type of tedious task computers are designed to avoid....
Various options:
if you want the best photos to show up first, you can rate them. It's easier to hit apple-3 to add three stars than to hit apple-x and apple-v to cut and paste. Then you can tell iPhoto to sort by rating, top to bottom. And the rating can be used for other purposes as well.
Or, iPhoto will automatically sort them by time and date--if the time and date are wrong, then better to use iPhoto tools to fix that once and for all, than to manually rearrange.
So--what are these 500 photos and exactly why are you trying to re-arrange them? What order do you want to browse them in? Cut-and-paste is just a tool to get to your ultimate goal--maybe if you describe that ultimate goal, someone here can provide a better path than manually re-ordering.

  • Why can't I cut and paste photos between project?

    I recently made the transition from iPhoto to Aperture. One of the weird things is that I can't cut and paste photos between projects. In iPhoto this is an easy way to organize your projects if some photos are in the wrong place.
    You also can't split projects, in iPhoto you can do this easily. Say, if two day's photos ending being in the same project, in iPhoto there's a button that you split them in the middle. Is there something like this in Aperture?

    Copy and Paste:
    In iPhoto "copy and paste" was possible, because it was not possible in the early versions, to see both projects at the same time, the one you are moving from, and the one you are moving to.
    In Aperture you simply drag from the source project to the destination project to move image versions around. Also, it is easy to see more than one project in the Browser at the same time, see: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Two or More Browsers Open
    To drag to another project, select the images in the project, then drag to the other project in the source list, for example:
    To split a project, select the images you want to have in the split part, then create a new project from these images: Enable the check mark "Move selected items to new project". This will split the original project.

  • I just cut and pasted photos from the phone into my HP and now I can't open the files in the computer.

    I just cut and pasted photos from my Iphone into my HP.
    NOw when I go and try to open the files from the computer it's giving me an error:
    INVALID IMAGE
    The file format is not supported or is invalid
    WHat's confusing is that all files copy into my computer are already JPG. I have not changed anything, simply cut photos from my phone and copy them in my computer.
    I need help !!! I have a lot of my baby photos and videos that I really want to recover.
    PLEASE !
    thank you

    Try using a photo import utility or application for this instead of doing it the archaic manual way. Even Windoze includes a scanner and camera wizard that can be used for this.

  • Cut and Paste Photos iphoto 09

    I was experiencing the same problem like the one described in the archived topic with the title "CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS" (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1897601&tstart=120). In few words I wasn't able to cut and paste a picture as when I tried to paste the picture to another event the right click paste command was grey.
    I finally figured out a solution. In the 'Photos' in the Source list select the photo you would like to move, then right click and select cut. Select 'Events' in the Source list (left column), select the event you want to move the photos, the event will open in the photo library mode and you will be able to right click and paste the photo.
    This doesn't work for Copy. Although paste is not grey, the photo can not move.

    The reason you can't cut and paste into another Event is that when you cut the photo goes into iPhoto's Trash bin and you can't paste because a photo can be in only one Event at a time.
    You can move a photo from one event to another by clicking and dragging.

  • How to cut and paste photos

    I am trying to open a photo and cut out certain parts of it and then paste them together...this may be a silly question but new to mac and need to know what app works best. I am not trying to make greeting cards or anything crazy just simple images on the computer...thanks.

    On the computer?  You mean iPad?  This is the iPhoto for iOS forum.

  • Photos gone after cut and paste

    Hi,
    I had a problem with my iphone 6 when I tried to cut and paste photos from iphone to my windows 8 PC. At first I tried 1 photo, and it worked properly, yet when I cut and paste a bunch of photos (around 50 of them) onto my pc, I realized about half of the photos were missing. Then I used ctrl+z to see if the missing photos would come back. Unfortunately, the missing photos weren't back, and the ones that were originally successfully transferred to my pc were also missing as well (after ctrl+z). So now I have no photos left.  Are there any ways of recovery?

    I suggfest not using cut and paste - merge events by dragging one ot the other or selecting them and using the merge events command
    and be extremely careful about going inside the iPhoto library - the slightest error can damage your library and cause data loss

  • I transferred photos to my computer by cutting and pasting.  I have some on my phone that I didn't cut and paste.  Now they are can and I cannot find them anywhere on phone or computer

    I transferred photos to my computer by cutting and pasting.  I have some on my phone that I didn't cut and paste.  Now they are gone and and I cannot find them anywhere on phone or computer. Are they lost forever.  I have done no back-up recently or icloud.  My daughters 8th grade graduation was on it.  I am devastated.

    A lot of I should haves.  I had too many photos and while at work I opened up the 4 folders inside of the DCIM folder on my phone.  I didn't think it would be a big deal to just cut the photos and paste on my computer as I have  done this before.  i moved one folder that had 803 pictures in it and all was fine.  I ran out of time and unplugged phone and went home.  When I got to work this morning I was looking at my phone and realized I only had 34 pictures.  I knew there should have been 400+ there and they are gone.  Don't know what happened and if they were deleted off phone or computer I cannot see them anywhere.  I didn't back up (I know mistake) Lessoned learned I just hope there is something i can do!

  • Is there a template where I can cut and paste several photos into one?

    I am looking for a template where I can cut and paste from several different photos and make one collage. Can you help me find thius within the Photoshop program ?

    Have you tried googling "photoshop template photo montage"?
    If you are looking for pre-installed montage templates maybe you were thinking of Photoshop Elements.

    You'll need an external editor for that kind of work.
    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)
    Comic Life 2 (http://plasq.com/products/comiclife2)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. 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.

    I believe it is version 11 of iphoto as i tried to update but it says it has the latest update and Mac is 2 weeks old from new.
    OS is Lion.
    I have just tried to look everywhere on the Mac to see where the photos might be.
    There are no error messages showing on screen and it was fine before my wife did what she did. Even though we have back -ups of 95% of the pictures. I would like to know what happened so that it won't happen again.

    Hello.  In 2012 you answered a query about the following problem:
    "I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet."
    This problem started with me this morning and it does not happen when I open a test account.  The thread stops after you asked if it occurs in the test account, did you ever find a solution to this issue?  I am using mac mail 3.6 on system 10.5.8.
    I hope you receive this, I have never posted in one of these forums.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave
