Difference between iPhotos and "Pictures"

Can someone explain why some pictures show up in Pictures and iPhotos and which ones I should keep?

Photos only go into iPhoto if you import them. It could be that ImageCapture, the program that interfaces with your camera behind the scenes, is set to put the images it downloads into Pictures and not iPhoto.
Somewhere along the line you set that behaviour.
What are you using to take your pictures, and where do you want them to go?

Print quality difference between iphoto and aperture...?

when ordering books, is there a print quality difference between using iPhoto and Aperture? or are they sent to the same lab?
it's possible i may have some setting wrong, but when i order a book using iphoto, i never really feel the quality is that great. it's good, i just feel it could be a lot better. the print quality sort of reminds me of newsprint, albeit high quality newsprint. similar sized prints made at home on my basic 3-in-1 printer look better.
thanks...

Previews are what you view on your display. When you import a photo into Aperture (and I'm pretty sure iPhoto as well), your computer automatically generates a preview for quick viewing. The original images are stored in your library, but it is the preview that you see.
In Aperture, you are able to set the size and quality of these previews. When sharing photos between Aperture and iPhoto, the process is as follows:
Let's say that your images are stored in Aperture, but you also want to be able to view them in iPhoto without taking up too much room on your hard drive. Essentially, if you were to import the originals into iPhoto as well, you would be storing two exact, yet separate copies of the same image on your hard drive. As you are aware, with large images (whether JPEG's, and especially RAW) this would put quite a tax on your storage capacity after not too long.
So, you have your images in one or the other (in this case Aperture), but you want to play around with them in iPhoto. What you can do, is open iPhoto, go to the File menu and then select, Show Aperture Library. This will open a window with all of the contents of your Aperture Library. You can then drag any images you want into iPhoto . The only thing is, you are not dragging the original JPEG's, but rather, the previews of those images. If you have those previews set to a lower quality (again for capacity concerns), you will only have lower quality and lower detailed images in iPhoto. These images might not be ideal, or even suitable for printing high quality prints. The previews that you generate in Aperture though can be adjusted to be extremely high quality with no size limits.
My thinking was that since you mentioned Aperture, it sounded like you had experience with working with it and with ordering a photo book through Aperture. I guess you were saying that you ordered via iPhoto, weren't happy with the quality and were wondering if Aperture created books were better.
Anyway, if this is the case, I cannot answer that for you. I have never ordered a book through Aperture. If the quality of your images is good, you should be able to get a decent product no matter where you order it from. There is not doubt that the materials used and the print shop that does the work makes a difference, but if your images are good, you should still get a decent product through iPhoto. Perhaps iPhoto isn't the way to go though if you have had poor experiences with them.
If you haven't used Aperture yet, I would highly recommend it though aside from the photo book aspect of this thread. It is a stellar product.
I hope this helps.

Difference between iPhoto and Aperture and photo storage

I'm thinking about upgrading from iPhoto to Aperture but I'm a little confused about the differences in the way photo edits are handled. The iPhoto to Aperture page says that Aperture stores photo changes in one photo rather than duplicating them, therefore taking up less space. BUT they also use a unified shared library. So how is it possible for Aperture to handle edits differently if the library is now shared between the two applications?

Aperture may save you some space if you choose not to generate previews, but then you won't be able to integrate with other apps.
As Terence Devlin says. But being able to manage the Previews is quite a space saver. In Aperture you can selectively generate previews only for the photos that you want to share with other applications, and you can specify the size and quality of the previews you want. iPhoto on the other hand will always create previews for all photos, and all in very high quality. In Aperture I delete previews for redundant photos and keep the previews only for my highest ratest photos that I am likely to share with other applications and want to use as a screensaver or slideshow.
If you share your photo library between Aperture and iPhoto and edit a photo in iPhoto, then iPhoto will add a preview for this photo, even if you disabled previews in Aperture.

Odd size difference between iPhoto and Finder

I've just noticed something rather odd. In finder my iPhoto Library is calculated at 94.43GB, and yet when i look in the bottom left info window it says 61GB - i've ensured that I have looked at the library as a whole and have emptied trash, but i'm still left with a 30+GB differential.
Anyone got any thoughts?

Nothing odd about it.
The iPhoto Window reports the resulting size of a folder if you exported into it, all the current images, in their current version.
The Library in the Finder reports the size of the package: All those originals, all those modified photos, the database files, thumbnails, faces thumbnails, caches and various other support files.

I want to know the difference between iphoto master folder and previews folder

I want to know the difference between iphoto library master folder and previews folder.. my pictures is stored in master but part of them is also copied into previews.. it occupied too much space.. if I can't change anything in iphoto library, any way to save the space for iphoto? 70G for almost 15,000 pictures, is it reasonable?
i use mac book pro, ilife 11..

70GB for 15,000 photos is reasonable, yes, if the photo files are large.
DO NOT meddle with the contents of your iPhoto Library in any other way than using the commands available in the iPhoto application. What appear to be duplicate files stored in different parts of the library are NOT duplicates, and if you attempt to save space by deleting things in the Finder, you will wreck your library and land in a world of trouble.

What are the differences between iphoto ios5 and iphoto ios6?

what are the differences between iphoto ios5 and iphoto ios6?

There is no difference unless you update iPhoto.
The iPhoto.app was updated and now version 1.1 is available. This version includes the ability to create Shared Photo Streams if you have iOS 6.

Color Sync Between iPhoto and Photoshop

iPhoto's retouching tool does a good job for retouching small marks in a photo, but there are times when Photoshop is needed to do rechouching work.
While making a slideshow I noticed a colorshift when moving an image from iPhoto to Photoshop and then back into the iPhoto. To be more specific there is a loss of saturation as if the color space between the to programs are not sycncronized or embedded profiles are changed when an image moves between the two. The images are five mega pixle jpgs.
This issues is made more complicated because of color differences between iPhoto's edit window and the slideshow it's self while it is playing.
Apparently I'm missing something in using these to programs together.
Photoscene

Thanks for your help. I did change the value, but have not imported any new pictures yet into iphoto. I did figure out how to get Photoshop to not color shift on save. However I'm not sure this method is a good thing, since the only way to prevent the color shift on saves, is from the photoshop save as dialog box. you must turn off embed color profile. when I do this, there is no longer a color shift. however the color profile is no longer embeded in the picture. are there any negatives for doing it this way?

What is difference between abstraction and encapsulation ?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out the difference between abstraction and encapsulation but confused.
Both are used for data hiding then what is the exact difference ?
Thanks.

When you encapsulate something you get an inside and an outside. The outside is the abstraction. It describes how the encapsulated entity behaves viewed from the outside. This is also called the type. Hidden inside is the implementation. It holds detail information about how the type's behaviour is accomplished.
It's a very simplified picture but I think it's quite accurate and it works for me.

Difference between implicit and explicit enhancement points

Hi Folks,
I had learned many documents to findout the difference between explicit and implicit enhancement point.I got the theoritical knowledge on that but losing on the practical side..
Can anybody help me out with one real time scenario where the explicit enhancement points have been implemented and the step by step procedure to implement it..
Hoping for the positive response from you..
Regards,
Rohan.

Hi Rohan,
In implicit they are available at the beginning of subroutines defined in the standard reports.
Edit-> Enhancement operations->show implicit enhancement options.
This will highlight all the implicit enhancements in the report.
In Explicit enhancement we have two different types of enhancements -
Enhancement point and Enhancement section.
Enhancement point - SAP has some standard functionality defined for a report , but it may be required that you'll need to add your own code. In this case the code that you'll add will be executed along with the standard code.
Enhancement section - SAP has its standard functionality defines but it may not suit your requirement, in that case you may need to add your code and you'll need that code to be executed only. By this method the existing code is automatically commented and a copy of the same code is available to edit.
After executing the report only your code will be executed and the standard code will be bypassed.
For Practicle implementation, follow this link.

i hope it will give you some clear picture....

Color discrepancies between iPhoto and Elements...

Okay, enough ******** about iPhoto ’08. I actually like it, but I have had no problems, so far. Anyway, there is something a little quirky I have been noticing: I do like the new editor in iPhoto, but I still jump between iPhoto and Elements. I have noticed that my on-screen images are generally a little lighter and with much better skin tones while viewing them in Elements. In iPhoto they are a little darker and skin tones are more red. What am I missing? Is there a setting (Color Settings in PSE, Color Sync) I should be paying attention to? It would seem to me that the image should look identical regardless of which editor I am viewing the image in.
Thanks for your thoughts…

Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If you're still at 10.4.9 update to 10.4.10 via the COMBO updater. Also make sure you're at the latest Quicktime version.
Next, log into another account, create a library if there is none, import a couple of photos that are showing bad in your primary account and compare. If those photos appear correct there may be some conflicting preference files in your primary account. Here's how you can weed them out if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
Lastly, rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
OT
Old Toad,
Thank you for the advice. I have done everything you have suggested, except for the updating to 10.4.10. That is not an option. It trashed 5 of my machines and I am just now getting my main machine usable again. Thank God for backups.
I have taken the worst pictures and viewed them in every photo viewing application that I have including the Finder/Finder Window in column mode, iPhoto 6 and 4, and they are as they should be. This is clearly an iPhoto 7.x issue.
Thanks again!

What's the difference between photos and albums

I'm trying to figure out what the difference between photos and albums is on my ipad 'photos' programme.
What I'm really trying to do is to delete photos from my phone so that I'm not going over 5GB on my icloud and I don't want to lose them, so I'm checking to see where they are stored on ipad.

Hello julian
As far as what iCloud backs up, it is backing up the photos and videos in the Camera Roll. If you want to ensure that your pictures are backed up, then follow the steps in the last article to import them to your computer. One thing to note is that you cannot import your albums that you create. If those photos are not in your camera roll, import the photos to your camera roll.

Difference between 32DT2U1 and 32DT2UL1?

Before I involve Toshiba tech support, anyone know the difference between 32DT2U1 and 32DT2UL1? I have the latter, and can't find hide nor hair of a mention on the support site, but can find some limited information on the non-L part number.
It's a nice 32" set, fine picture, abysmal "Media Player" (I wouldn't have bothered adding the USB port for photos only, myself), but I was hoping to find a "real" manual (the "Easy Setup Guide" doesn't exactly tell you anything useful about the ) and maybe a complete spec sheet...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If your looking for a manual here is the .pdf of it for your model. http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/manuals/userguides/su2979064/32C110U_40E210U_46G310U... It has much more information than what came with the tv..
Personally they should of had a download for the manual. How they have it sucks, printer friendly, should of been a button to download manual.. But it is viewable on-line, a plus.

Difference between JSP and JSF

What is the difference between JSP and JSF?
Is it necessary to learn JSP before starting with JSF?

JSP is a view technology providing a template to write plain HTML/CSS/JS in. JSP supports Java based taglibs to generate output and/or control the page flow dynamically. A well known example is JSTL. JSP also supports access to backend data with help of EL (Expression Language).
JSF is a component based MVC framework which provides taglibs for use in JSP, the JSF core tags in <f:xxx> and the JSF HTML tags in <h:xxx>. Those tags generate HTML output and are tied to JSF component tree in the server memory so that the FacesServlet can work on them to gather request parameters, validate/convert them, update the model values (javabean properties), invoke some actions (javabean action methods) and render the response.
You can use JSF on top of either JSP or Facelets. Facelets is another view technology. JSP is ancient and has its shortcomings when JSF comes into picture. Facelets is designed with JSF in mind and much more well-suited for it and provides great templating/composition capabilities to reuse specific groups of components without the need to wrap them in another custom component (so that you don't duplicate the same code over and over, e.g. label+input+message.

What's the difference between tags and albums

I've always used tags, I don't really understand why you would use albums instead of tags.
Say I've got pictures of birds, I would apply the Bird tag.
Where exactly do albums come in?

Another thing to keep in mind with the differences between albums and tags.
Both albums and tags are stored in the catalogs.
Tags can be also stored in the picture files themselves; they can be accessed form your OS or other applications. They are still available if the catalog is missing or corrupt. The organizer does only 'write metadata' to files if you specifically issue this command. On the other hand, albums can't be saved in the files themselves. They are kinds of 'playlists' which can only be stored in catalogs. That's why it is important to backup regularly. The standard backup process saves the catalogs as well as the image files; if you use an external backup system, include the catalog folder (found with Menu Help/System information) as well in your backup procedure.
