Does iPhoto automatically edit my images straight from sd card BEFORE I import to iPhoto and edit myself?

HI, Hope you can help with my query.  Does iPhoto automatically edit my images straight from my sd card BEFORE I import to iPhoto and edit myself?

My Photography teacher told me yesterday morning that my 'images levels ‘ are being changed by my iPhoto.
Just a couple of long shots, but there is an ever-so-slight possibility that what s/he's seeing is the result of changing the colour profile of the images? Adobe RGB to sRGB for instance? That would - or could - make the images seem a little different.
And, of course, if the images are Raws then there could also be a significant difference between the preview rendered in camera and the one rendered by iPhoto.
But in neither case would this mean the image has been edited in any way.

  • In iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed?

    in iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed.

    Short answer: They are not resizing, there is no quality lost. The dpi is only set when you decide what size you're printing at
    Longer answer:  Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

    I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images.  Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs.  What am I missing?
    Thanks,

    Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
    You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
    If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
    Photos > Use Raw as original.

    Every time I open iPhoto the dialogue box requiring me to do something before I can use iPhoto, how do I get rid of it?

    Click on the More Info button and ignore the web page, go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the MobileMe account. Next to go the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.  That will stop those messages.

  • Does iPhoto automatically downsize an image on import?

    I am new to Mac. I attended a workshop at an Apple store and was told iPhoto will automatically downsize all images upon import. I use CS3/Bridge to manage my image library but really love iPhotos ability to find images quickly. If I import my existing image files into iPhoto will they ever be resized without my knowledge? I don't want that to happen. I have tried a few tests and all the imported images are the same size in iPhoto as the originals in my old folder structure outside of iPhoto. At the moment I tell iPhoto to "not copy folders to the iPhoto library". Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    If you’re new to Macs then I’ll bet you’re using iPhoto 08 (iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto). You’ve posted on the v5 forum and the problem there is that there are many differences between the versions.
    However here’s one thing that is *absolutely constant*
    and was told iPhoto will automatically downsize all images upon import.
    *This is utterly untrue*.
    Iphoto simply copies the file - a straight byte by byte copy of the actual photo. It makes no changes whatever to the file unless you tell it to.
    It has no facility to resize on import, so you can’t even tell it to do that.
    What it does do is create a thumbnail of the image for faster display in the iPhoto Window.
    At the moment I tell iPhoto to "not copy folders to the iPhoto library".
    This is called a Referenced Library and - especially with folks new to Macs - I do not recommend running a Referenced Library
    You need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of all the ramifications. By all means post back if you require more info.

  • Edit an image going from LR 5.3 into Photoshop CC

    Can somebody help me with this problem?
    Since today I'm having an issue when I try to edit a image in Photoshop (as a PSD) that's imported in LR (as a RAW-image).
    So I use LR as my main working app for my images and from time to time I edit the photo from withing LR into Photoshop.
    When I perform this operation all of my images (that I edit in Photoshop) have an overexposed area on the right side (1-2 cm). I never have had this issue before.
    My images and catalog reside on a Lacie 1TB external disk.
    My memory settings of Photoshop are not too heavy. Photoshop may use 70% of the memory. My iMac has 16Gb of RAM.
    Does anyone have a solution for me?
    Thanks.

    Much easier to do a "repair" install, just install again over the top of itself. To do this, in the Creative Cloud desktop app, go to the Apps tab. In the lower half, labeled Find New Apps, there is a filter drop-down to the right. By default it says All Apps or Filters & Versions, click it and choose Previous Version. Find Photoshop on the list and the button will say “Install” but it will also be a drop-down menu. Choose CC 2014 (15.0). This will do a “repair” install over the top of your existing files.

  • Why does paintbrush not work on images opened from Bridge?

    This problem may be due to another cause but the most common occurance is when an image is opened from Bridge so I've posted it here.  Here are the details.
    I have had tons of problems with CS4 on my desktop PC but seem to have most of them resolved with a new video card, updated driver  and help from an earlier thread.  In fact, I thought all problems solved but this one has persisted.  If it matters I'm running Windows XP service pack 3, 4gb of RAM of which 3.4 is available.  It has an 2.67 GHz Intel Core2Duo cpu.
    If I open CS4 and open an image, all paintbrush tools (paintbrush itself, clone tool, healing tools, etc) work fine.  Sometimes I can work for hours with no problems.  Other times these tools simply stop working.   When this happens seems random.  For example, the other day as long as I did not send anything to print, all worked fine but after printing a few images the tools stopped.  Other times I've printed and the tools still worked.  Sometimes if I open images direct in Photoshop using file -> open, all is well but as soon as I launch an image from Bridge, tools don't work.  Other times launching from Bridge works fine, BUT more often than not, it seems to occur after launching from Bridge, hence the post here as I already noted.  I've tried to trace down a common set of circumstances but it is too erratic.
    What is interesting also is that the use of the tool shows up in the history panel as a step taken.  There just is no visible effect on the image.  This problem has been present since CS4 was originally installed along with several other problems.  In the course of attempting to solve them all, I have deleted preferences and allowed them to rebuild, I have actually uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop multiple times. 
    More confounding is that CS4 works fine on a clunky old laptop with less RAM and a much, much older video card.  I also, as a test, ran the 30 day trial on the computer I'm using here.  It too is older and less RAM and that worked fine too.  So it seems to be saying there is something wrong with the computer used for photo editing or the video card.  Don't think it's the card.  I bought a new one.  It didn't solve any problems so I bought another and it corrected many of the other issues I was having.  Indeed after installing the latest drivers for this card, absolutely everything worked perfectly for almost two days but now this paintbrush tool issue is back. 
    So what the heck can be going on that is cumulative or is there a hardware component that is erratic or have I missed something in CS4?  Man I love the power of the program and the improvements since CS3 but if I have to shut it down and restart it every single image, clearly that is not feasible.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Well, now I'm an idiot.  I fired up without the tablet plugged in and
    paintbrush worked fine on all files.  I then left the image open I had just
    painted on, plugged in the tablet with pc still running, no paintbrush
    function using tablet mouse.  Without unplugging the tablet I again tried
    the regular mouse and paintbrush worked fine.  So it's not a matter of any
    sort of conflict with the tablet being active, it sure looks like a tablet
    malfunction.  It still mystifies my how this tablet is so smart it can tell
    the difference between psd and jpg but there it is...can't argue with
    results.  Still, one last thing confounds me and that is the tablet works
    fine on all file types in CS3 and every other app I have.  If there was a
    malfunction with the tablet, wouldn't you think it would misbehave on all
    apps?  Could it be that the tablet needs a new driver?  You must've had a
    clue to recommend this course of action.  Now that we're here, what do you
    suggest or should that be another thread?
    By the way, if it matters I had already upgraded vc drivers and CS to 11.0.1
    before this started.

  • HD video from SD Card not showing up in Iphoto or Imovie

    When I put my SD card in, Iphoto comes up and has my pictures but not my HD video.  I tried to import in Imovie and then went under my SD card file and the video still is not showing.  The video is 100% on the SD card. They showed up when I imported my pictures and videos using windows on my mini toshiba. I want to edit the video on Imovie though..  Why wont they show? 

    As AussieDJ suggested - have your copied the files from the SD card to your hard drive? You should be able to open them in QuickTime or, at least, VLC DVD Player. I get from your message that you just want to watch the movies and not edit them?
    First, copy the movies onto your hard drive. Open QuickTime player and try to watch them there. If that fails, try downloading VLC DVD Player, open it and then try to view your movies.
    Good luck,

  • Lightroom photos edited in PS CS3 & saved on desktop, cannot be imported into iPhoto or resized in M

    Hi,
    After editing photos from Lightroom in Photoshop CS3, I saved them on the desktop (Mac, Leopard 10.2.5). With these saved photos I find I cannot:
    Import into iPhoto or
    Resize in Mail (large, medium or small) - they stay the same size.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Caroline

    It is too big for mail. -From CS3 -File> Save for web & devices and use this copy for mail.
    Better from LR -Menu-Photo>Edit in Adobe CS3. Do the works. Menu File Save-save picture to original folder if dialog opens Click red dot and edited pict appears on LR next to original one-The edited picture should be export... This opens a dialog -a copy will be send to a folder Name it and give it a location ( To Mail ) (Desk)-From File Settings chose Jpg and sRGB ,size W640 H640 and 72 pixels-check copyright water mark if you have one- Minimized Embedded Metadata-From Post-Processing pick Mail Alias and EXPORT.
    If you don't have a mail alias go to the folder where it was exported and drag the picture right into the Mail Icon on the dock or any open mail-now u can use the sizing from mail.

  • Does OS X corrupt files when copying from SD card to desktop?

    Using finder to copy a folder and its files from SD card to mac desktop seems to cause *some* files to be corrupted, specifically a handful of MP4 files from a FAT32 SD card  which was used in a digital camera. Using a binary/hex comparison tool reveals that some segments of the files contents were modified when copied from the SD card. 
    This error occurs when copying multiple files using Finder windows.  However, when copying the same files one at a time, the corruption does not occur.  This appears to be an OS level bug.  In reviewing past content, I found that dozens of MP4 files have been corrupted in the past 4 months by merely copying the files from the SD card to mac desktop using Finder copy/paste.
    I am using OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3

    Well, like I said, the byte size in fact did *not* change.  So I'm not even concerned about that.  What *did* change is the content of those bytes and it doesn't matter what operating system you are using, the content of those bytes is *not* supposed to change.
    Also, like I said before, if I copy the individual file (MP4) insead of the entire folder, and then do the binary/hex comparison, the byte data is identical. i.e.
    a) copying one file at a time produces an *identical* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count AND the byte content are precisely the same.
    b) copying a folder with multiple files produces a *different* file on the HD, i.e. the byte count is the same BUT the byte content differs from the original file.

    media recover - the free download will tell you what can be recovered - you have to purchase to actually recover the photos
