Does iphoto support transparency in images?

does iphoto support transparency in images?

Import the photos and create a small test book -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
If the preview is what you want then you can go ahead and create the book, preview it and order knowing tha the printed version will match the preview

  • 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.
    Regards to Kildare.

  • Lightroom does not support duo toned images. Why? Incredible that it does not!

    Lightroom does not support duo toned images. Why? Incredible that it does not!

    Lightroom does 'split-toning', but I suspect that's not what you're after.
    A duo-tone in offset print terms refers to a BW image printed with black and one additional colour. LR however works only in the RGB colour model, so you need to resort to e.g. Photoshop for duo-tone (or CMYK) conversions.

    To make a PDF file using the background shortcut menu:
    Open the book project, open the card project, or open the calendar project.
    Press the Control key while you click in the background of your project.
    Do one of the following:
    Choose “Save Book as PDF,” “Save Card as PDF,” or “Save Calendar as PFD” from the shortcut menu. In the window that appears, enter a name for the PDF file, enter a location to save the file to, and then click the Save button.

  • 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.
    Regards
    TD

  • Why does iPhoto keep corrupting my images?

    For the past year, iPhoto 11 has been tremendously buggy on my early 2011 15" MacBook Pro.  It started under Lion and has continued apace under Mountain Lion.  It first started going haywire and crashing every time I tried opening it after any premature removals or disk use of my camera card in July 2011.  After starting in safe mode and having to rebuild my library several times, it seemed to settle down, and would generally work as long as I restarted the computer after a crash.  However, many of my photos ceased to show up properly--either they wouldn't be there at all, or the pictures and/or their thumbnails would be rotated the wrong way, sometimes with the display dimensions reversed so they appeared improperly squashed or stretched.  This issue mostly affected photos from c. 2001-2005, which I'd brought over from my iMac to save space on the older desktop computer.  (The iMac is backed up with my Time Capsule, but I haven't yet tried to see how that works within iPhoto, nor from my MBP.)
    In the past few months, both before and after the installation of Mountain Lion and some updates to iPhoto itself, iPhoto has been acting strangely again.  Whether or not there's any "misuse" of a camera card that precipitates iPhoto's misbehavior, it's often been saying that thumbnails are corrupt and need to be rebuilt, but instead of fixing them it makes even more of them look worse than they did before.  Especially annoying, it seems to have permanently squashed, stretched, and/or rotated most of the images I'd chosen as Event preview images--i.e., it's done the most damage to a lot of the best pictures in each event, and it's been hitting a lot of the more recent photos than the first set of bugs did.  In addition, it quits itself spontaneously at least once per day, and gives an error message when it does so.
    I used to love iPhoto, but its behavior lately, and the way it's been corrupting or failing to properly display thousands of my pictures, have been frustrating beyond words.  Has anyone else had problems similar to mine with iPhoto lately?  I really wish I'd never "upgraded" to the current version, because the new functions shouldn't come at the expense of losing or having to manually rebuild and tweak thousands of photos.  Can anyone recommend a solution to stop this from happening further, and to get things back to normal?
    Regards,
    Brian Green

    Where is your Library stored?
    What rebuild did you do? iPhoto's own?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Does iPhoto Support RAW from Nikon D90?

    I shoot in RAW. I had a D80 and iPhoto would import my RAW photo files ok. I just got a Nikon D90 and iPhoto will not import my files. Any ideas?
    Lee

    Lee:
    In the meantime you might see if Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 4.6 is compatible with the D90. That would let you convert the RAW files to the DNG (digital negative) format which iPhoto does support. There's other RAW converters available. Go to VersionTracker.com and search for RAW.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • PHOTOSHOP BUTTON, DOES IT SUPPORT TRANSPARENT BACKGROUNDS

    Photoshop buttons, does it work with transparent back grounds...

    uh, NO.  The FIOS network does not currently support ipv6 at a residence.  Probably the various components of there Home Control can support it. 

  • HT3825 does iphoto support sony cyber-shot

    is my sony cyber-shot compatable to my macbook?

    Not under Mac OS X 10.6 for RAW.   10.7 supports it with iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4.  Unfortunately you'll have to kiss your PowerPC software good bye, unless you want to run a special Parallels solution, or a separate partition running 10.6 on your machine, which would require cloning twice to two separate drives, and partitioning for just a 10.7 system with the iPhoto or Aperture version of your choice, leaving enough room for 10.6 and the applications that need it.    For more on upgrading to 10.7 or later see my tip.

  • Does iPhoto support RAW for Fuji X-S1?

    I just bought a Fuji X-S1 to use as a safari camera. I'm experimenting with it and was not able to get iPhoto to import RAW files. Any suggestions?

    Check to see if the Adobe Raw file converter will work with your raw file format.

  • How to save transparent background images to have transparent background thumbnails with Photoshop 2014?

    In old versions of Photoshop there was a feature that made thumbnail images have a transparent background.  I'm a CC member using Photoshop 2014 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and every thumbnail of a transparent background image I've created in Photoshop 2014 appears on my desktop with a solid white box background that has a thin black outlined box inside of it.  How do I save the transparent background images I've created in Photoshop 2014 so they will appear on my desktop as thumbnails with a transparent background?   I'd like to continue to be able to replace the default background-less folder icon that that appears on files with transparent background thumbnails to customize my files as I use to do with older versions of Photoshop.

    If your layered document has a Photoshop background layer it visibility need to be set off when saving a PNG or Gif file for Photoshop background layers do not support transparency.
    Thumbnail may be a bit more complicated than you think. I do not use Lightroom, and only occasionally use the bridge.  I believe Lightroom and Bridge  keep thumbnails they develop for image files  in their library databases and caches.  Other programs do not have acces to  these.  RAW Files and Image files have Jpeg previews stored in then.  I believe most application use these previews jpeg to create thumbnails.  Jpeg format does not support transparency.
    Icon on the desktop are not always thumbnails some are embedded icons in application modules other are icon in dll these may well have transparency. However image file on the desktop have generated thumbnails.  However you can create a shortcut for an image png file and create a icon with a transparent background for the png file and change the shortcut's icon for the png file to the transparent ico file you created for it.
    Also many Photoshop release ago an Adobe module created Thumbnails for image files in Windows File explorer and most likely system file dialog. Adobe stopped supporting that stating Microsoft changes how windows works.
    Today I use FastPictureViewer Codec Package to generate image thumbnails for image files including RAW and PSD files in File Explorer and system file dialogs.
    I don't use a Mac don't know what available for your Mac.
