Downloading friends' photos from my gallery

I've set up a web gallery which a few friends have uploaded photos to. Their images show up in iPhoto, but I'm wondering to what extent they are actually 'downloaded' to my computer? They don't show up in the events window so if I delete the web gallery do the photos disappear? If so how can I add them to my library permanently? Copy/paste doesn't seem to work. I've worked out I can export and reimport them, but I thought there might be a simpler way. Thanks.

Of course it's that simple. Thanks Terence.

Captioning and Keywords NOT retained on download of photos from Web Gallery

I noticed that the CAPTIONING information for photos on a web gallery ARE viewable while on the web gallery page(clicking on info), but are NOT included if you choose to download the photo. Not seen in the photo on download by viewing EXIF info, or "get info" from the Finder, nor available if I reimported the downloaded photo back into iPhoto 8.
Am I missing something regarding the way to store information. I had uploaded a lot of photos with important information for family members downloading embedded in the captioning??
BTW, the keywords ALSO were not downloaded or retained.

Scott:
When published to a web gallery that information is not added to the file but to the slideshow files. The only time that info is written to the files is upon export with the checkbox selected to add Title and Keywords and Comments.
Even if the metadata is written to the files at the time they are imported into iPhoto, the files that get uploaded to the iDisk have that metadata stripped out of the file.
Do you Twango?
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I delete photos from the gallery that were downloaded from FB or google?

New user. I am trying to delete photos from my gallery in the Samsung S4. If I had taken the photos with the camera phone, the trashcan shows up and I can delete. But if I select the downloaded photos- no trashcan icon shows up. I have tried stopping sync, deleting downloads etc. It's driving me nuts!

Checking a friends S4 I see that using the Gallery app that long-pressing checks the photo and brings up a Trash Can. I see that tapping a phot opens it full screen and tapping once again brings up options to send, share, or delete. Pictures in other folders to include Bluetooth share, messaging, and screenshots produces the same results.

Can someone download photos from web gallery?

Can someone download individual photos from my web gallery? I am posting about 40 photos in the web gallery.I want people that visit to be able to download the photos they want. I tried it and it is set to download the entire album compressed. The visitors probably will only want 1 photo. Maybe there is a better application for this type of use.
I am new to this and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, individual photos can be downloaded. Looks like you already have the Allow Downloading setting on since the entire album (compressed) is available.
If a visitor clicks on any thumbnail in an album, and loads the corresponding screen-sized photo, each photo has a little toolbar that fades in at the bottom where a down-pointing arrow is the button to download the individual photo. This will be the (up to) 6 megapixel-sized photo and not the screen-sized one.

I downloaded 1100 photos from Kodak Easy Share to Iphoto. Now when I open the photo events in the photo library, a thumbnail screen of all the pictures appears. However, when I click on a thumbnail photo to enlarge it, a lock symbol appears. Help!

If Larry's suggestion re iPLM doesn't help there's always the last ditch effort solution:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

My iphone was stolen, how can I download the photos from icloud to my pc?

Hi,
After my iphone got stolen last saturday I've tried to download the photos from the icloud to my pc and it didn't work.
What can I do to gat the photos and my whatsupp backup?

You cannot access Photo Stream from iCloud.com.
Photo Stream is a sync tool, not a backup solution.
You can get the last 30 days of photos from your Photo Stream by installing and signing into iCloud Contol Panel.
To get your Whatsapp and Camera Roll data you will need to restore it from your backup to another iOS device.

How do I download a photo from email to my mac? It will not do it!

I download a photo from my email and it goes shows up as a doc file? Stupid! How do I get it into Iphoto as a JGEG?

Is this a true photo image file attached to an email message? I'm afraid I don't quite understand. Here's an image file in this message:
If you put your mouse pointer on it, click down then drag the image to your Desktop then it will appear on the Desktop as an image file.

Can a PC user download my photos from iCloud without an Apple ID?

I've browsed through several threads in this forum, but I have not yet found answers to my specific questions. I need to send about 50 photos from iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to a person who needs to download them onto his Windows PC. I prefer not to resort to the old-fashioned ways. That is, I don't want to burn the photos to a CD-R; nor do I want to email them four at a time. To my knowledge, my contact does not have an Apple ID. Therefore, I decided to share the photos as a public photo stream in iCloud. I don't need to secure the package with a password.
My questions:
Will my contact be able to download the photos from my photo stream onto his Windows PC without an Apple ID?
Will the photos download onto his PC at the same full resolution as on my MacBook Pro?

Add the photos to a shared stream using the public website option. This will give them a private url to access and download them from the internet using their computer browser. (See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm1bdd9cae49.) I believe they will download to to another computer at full resolution. Photo stream photos are only "device optimized" when streamed to an iOS device.

Hi, I can't download my photos from my camera onto iPhoto!

Hi, I can't download my photos from my camera into iPhoto! A few months ago I bought iPhoto 9.1.1 (on it's own from iTunes) and it's been working fine till now. When I plug in the camera (Lumix LX3) the flying pizza starts and eventually I have to turn off the camera and force quit iPhoto. I don't think it can be a camera problem as I have successfully dowloaded same photos from same camera onto my laptop (with older version of iPhoto) and it works perfectly. Please help me - what am I doing wrong? Also, is there a limit to the amount of photos i can keep in iPhoto? I have quite a lot, and wonder if it simply is full up and cannot take any more? Thanks! Mands

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

I tried to download some photos from a corrupted CD and now every time I try to open iPhoto the frame pops up but nothing will load. I just get the spinning color wheel. Any ideas???

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I can't download my photos from my iCloud acct to my PC

It's strongly recommended that one maintain a minimum of 10 GB of free space on the boot drive for optimal system and application performance. It sounds like you have way too little free space on your hard drive.
