Double clicking iPhoto thumbnail doesn't load full resolution image.

After mistaking the new Photo application for iPhoto, I couldn't find the original 206 G iPhoto volume of my pix.  Finally found it but couldn't get the thumbnail images in the application to load the full resolution images after I double clicked them.  Please help.  It's got me scared.  I tried to rebuild after rebooting with Command and Option held down, but no fix in sight.  The thumbnails still refuse to link to the full resolution images.  Help!

Where is this library stored?

  • Iphoto 09, the slider for the thumbnail doesn't show full size image

    The slider in the lower left that when to the left shows small thumbnails and when to the right, to the "head icon", shows the image enlarged to fill the window, is broken in iPhoto 09. When you slide all the way to the right or click the head icon, the biggest the images magnify to is thumbnails sized to four across and three high thumbnails (displaying 12 big thumbnails rather than one screen filling image). The only way to examine the image now in 09 is to go into edit mode, which still has the row of thumbnails across the top instead of a single large image.
    This is really annoying and stupid and makes the program much less useful. Why would they change the program to make it impossible to see the images at full screen unless in edit mode? Any way to put it back to the 08 behavior?

    It does seem a bit silly to retain the icon that implies a full sized viewing though.

    If a change is an improvement, I'm all for it. If it is an arbitrary and unnecessary change, it can just be irritating. Like changing the reload button in Safari from the upper left to a variable position somewhere in the upper middle part of the window, a change that improved nothing and probably was a bad idea; changing a constantly located icon to one that roams around depending on the window width.
    Absolutely. Not sure what that has to do with iPhoto, though.
    I can cope with changes that make things more efficient or improve quality.
    Good to know.
    I don't quite understand the defense of mindless changes that merely require the user to dig around and waste time figuring out what happened to seemingly missing standard features.
    But who’s defending anything?
    I don't think that the sheep who copes by blithely accepting being herded onto the slaughterhouse truck is necessarily exercising any signs of higher intelligence.
    True. But what do you make of the one who goes ranting off about things based on incorrect information?
    This change in the software is inconvenient and makes the program worse.
    By way of explanation and not at all to defend: It’s a subtle thing, I know. But it does add a level of coherence to the OS. Quicklook in the Finder, for instance, does a similar thing with the same keystroke. Itunes starts playing a track on the same keystroke. So, I’m not sure where the failed analysis is.

  • Double clicking an event doesn't open it

    My mac mini has iphoto '11 version 9.4.3. and I can't seem to open an event. When I click on it the event is highlighted in yellow and I have a little drop down arrow on the lower right that gives me the option to trash or copy it, but that's it.
    On my other macs I can double click an event to see thumbnails, then double click a thumbnail to see the actual photo. I have tried to open photos in events, photo stream, last import, and I have even downloaded photos and can't open them either. I've been through just about every preference setting there is and I'm starting to think I have a broken Iphoto. Suggestions?

    Oh, ha, ok! I just tried to change the mouse settings but didn't get anywhere with that. I'm using a Dynex wireless mouse and it seems the only thing I can change is the tracking and double click speed.

  • IPhoto09 v 8.1.2 Problem- Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo and changes to ! with black background.  No photo, no slideshow.

    iPhoto09 v 8.1.2
    Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo before changing to  !  with a black background. 
    No photo, no slideshow.
    (Preferences set to magnify with double click)

    That indicates that the iPhoto database has lost the connection to the high resolution photo - if you have not made any changes to the library (like cleaning uyp, deleting using thrid party software or form the all images list) then rebuilding will probably resolve it - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto database

  • PS does not start on double-clicking a thumbnail in BR

    I face a very new problem:
    Since 2 days I can't open a picture in PS6 by double-clicking the thumbnail in BR.
    The right-button- menue shows for 'open with': FireFox,/ Mic.Office Pict. Manager, / Paint / Thunderbird.  But no PS !
    Can anybody give me a hint where to alter the right-button-menue ??
    I know, there is a shortcut, but I am used to the doubleclicking, which is the most comfortable way.
    Thanks for answers
    Herwig

    oh yes, that was it.
    I tipped 'back to standard settings' and now it works.
    thank you very much!

  • Can I get full resolution images on my iPhone?

    I was wondering if there's a way to get full resolution images on my iPhone, because everything that I synched get's blury when you zoom in. I know that the images on my computer are big enough, because on of the smaller ones is 1024x1578.

    Check this link - about halfway down under "Photo Optimization and Storage Requirements".

  • HT201317 How do I download full resolution images from icloud

    i have my devices set to Optimize iPhone/iPad Storage. I also have them set to Upload to My Photostream. I understand this to mean that my images are uploaded to the cloud full resolution but downloaded back to my devices at lower size and resolution to optimize space. If I need to download to full sized images later, how do I get to them?
    thanks

    Your PC will always download full resolution versions.
    If you are using iCloud photos library on your mobile device and you use the optimise option, your photos may or may not be reduced in resolution (this depends on whether they needed to be optimised which is automatically determined by your free space). I'm not 100% sure but I think that if the image is optimised you may download the full resolution image simply by opening it on your mobile device. However if you are in any doubt, putting it in edit mode (temporarily) does definitely download the full resolution version (if it's not already on your device).

  • IPhoto 6.0.3 crashes after double-click library thumbnails

    Recently downloaded and installed the iPhoto 6.0.3 update via Software Update. Now, when I double-click on a thumbnail image, it pauses, switches to "viewer" mode, then immediately crashes without any kind of crash dialog; iPhoto just disappears.
    Permissions are fine, and I've been pretty much crash free for months, until now.
    Anyone else having the same issue? Any suggestions?

    Try the following. It will create an new library from your current one so your old library will remain intact for future fixes if this doesn't work:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
    It has worked where other fixes have not. Good luck.

  • Double Clicking Photo No Longer Opens in Full Screen

    Hi all:
    We have our preferences in iPhoto set so that double clicking a particular thumbnail opens the photo in Full Screen mode for editing.
    Just this morning, for no apparent reason, we noticed that the photos when double clicked now open with gray (or black, I'll have to look again when I'm back home) space on the sides -- in a sort of "letterbox" effect. The pix still fill the screen from top to bottom like they used to, but they no longer stretch completely to the sides.
    Any idea what has happened? We're thinking it's something easy, perhaps a stray click that unintentionally put us in a different iPhoto mode without us knowing it. (We did recheck our preference setting and "open in full screen" remains selected.)
    Thanks for your help.

    Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist from your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and reset your preferences.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • When I double click a thumbnail in iphoto11 to enlarge it, it shows only an enlarged potion of a photo

    This has been a known problem for a while now. This long topic is about the same phenomenon: Incorrect size when photo edited in...: Apple Support Communities. See if any of the suggested fixes in the topic will work for you.

  • Double-Clicking JPG's doesn't work in PS7

    Q. When I double click some image files in Explorer, or select Open With, Photoshop starts but instead of loading the file presents a New Image d/box.
    A. XP/Win2k has put in a bad registry key used for opening that kind of file. If you feel *comfortable* editing the registry, you can find the bad key at
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command\(Default)
    For some reason, sometimes Windows XP creates this key the first time without "%1" at the end. Delete the (Default) entry, go to Windows Explorer, select a file type you want to open in Photoshop, right click, go to Open With, select Choose Program, click Browse (Photoshop won't be in the list after deleting the registry key), select your Photoshop executable, and make sure "Always use..." is checked.
    If you do not feel comfortable editing the registry DO NOT DO THIS.
    You can work around it by dragging the image onto the Photoshop main window background after Photoshop is opened.

    Donald:
    How does it look when you double click on it? What color mode is it? Color sRlGB or grayscale?

  • When I double click on thumbnail large photo is all black

    Both my wife and I use the same Macbook Pro and I have configured iPhoto to allow her read and write in my iPhoto Library.  Up until a week or so ago there was no problem.  However, in the past few days when she double clicks on a thumbnail to enlarge it, the enlargement is all black.  Since I was using an older version of iPhoto, yesterday I updated to the latest version.  That didn't help she still has the same problem.  When I use iPhoto it works as expected.  I would appreciate some help on this if anyone has experienced this issue.

    You can try to rebuild your iPhoto library by holding command and option when you open iPhoto.
    I would highly recommend not allowing mulitple computers to access the same library. iPhoto is NOT designed for this feature, and any tampering with the library files can create all sorts of issues (like the one you are having) and can even result in the loss of you photos.

  • Iphoto 09 doesn't load

    5 out of 10 when I start iphoto 09, it doesn't load, either it takes a long time to load or freezes, I am so upset about this upgrade. If it aint broke, fix it till it is, I upgraded 09 for faces and faces doesn't work either. Major disappointment!

    It's possible that the Faces database is damaged, and you can try start over:
    Note You will lose any work you’ve already done with Faces. This is to return to the very beginning.
    Quit iPhoto.
    Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there.
    Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
    Find the following files:
    face_blob.db
    face.db
    and move them to the trash.
    Make no other changes.
    Next time you start iPhoto it will need to do the initial scan over again. Let it do so - leave it on overnight if necessary.
    See if that helps.

  • Zoom problem. Pics automatically zoom in when double clicked. iPhoto 9.5.1

    When I double click and open a picture from the photos libraray, they open with a zoom in on only a portion of the picture. When I click/press on Zoom button it reverts picture to original full size image. But once I let go of button it zooms back into corner. Every single pic zooms into the same bottom left hand portion. A navigator box opens that allows me to teframe but once that is closed, it again zooms back into same section.

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder:
    User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    If that fails as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
