Downloading images from camera into iphoto and getting two of everything

Is there a reason I'd be getting two copies of each photo I download from my camera into Iphoto? And is there a way of making it stop doing that?
They're both in the library, right next to each other.
Thanks.

HI brvideo,
What is the make of your camera?
Does your camera do RAW?
Does your camera have a setting that will also do a jpeg conversion of the RAW image?
If so, check the settings for your camera and make sure it is set not to do that.
Does your camera have a setting where it does an HTML file of your images. This will produce a smaller jpeg thumb. If you have it on that setting, change it.

  • I am an absolute newcomer to Lightroom.  I have downloaded images from camera (OMD EM1) and divided them into folders.  Some folders work ok in Develop mode.  With other folders I get the words "This file could not be found".  What should I do

    As an absolute newcomer to Lightroom 5 I have downloaded images direct from camera (IOlympus EM-1) and divided them into folders. When I go into Develop mode, some folders can be developed ok , but with images from two other folders I get the message "This file could not be found".  What should I do?

    may i suggest opening the files in Olymous Viewer 3  and exporting them (you can do some editing there if you wish or not) asTIFF files. After that you can import the new files into LR. LR seems to like tiiff more than .orf files 
    The advantage to using OV3 is that it seems to do a much better job converting RAW EM1 files. Colors are more accurate ( my red flower pot turned orange when loaded directly into lightroom)
    . The tiff files just LOOK better in LR  after the conversion . there is a youtube on this subject and when i tried it myself i was impressed 

  • Trying to download photos from camera to iPhoto, get "unreadable" message

    Am trying to download photos from camera to iPhoto, and iPhoto won't take the photos, saying "unreadable files".  I've downloaded from this memory card and camera before.  Why is it now saying my photos are "unreadable" and how do I correct it? 

    Have you tries Image capture (in your applications folder)?
    Will the camera mount to the desktop?
    When did you last reformat the card?

  • Problem downloading images from camera chip

    I have attempted to download images from my camera chip on several occasions into Lightroom 5.3 and I get a statement which says "Some import operations were not performed-files are not being read (281).  How do I get images imported?  This is the first time I have encountered this problem.  Suggestions?

  • HT4101 I discovered a fatal flaw in the iPad procedure for downloading images from camera to iPad: after selecting the images to be downloaded, an accidental touch of the "delete" button, wipes all selected images from the camera, with no warning?

    After downloading some 60 images from camera to iPad, I was "scrolling" down to select the last images, and inadvertently touched the "Delete" button that appears at the top right of the screen, when the "Select" option is chosen. I did not notice the warning "Delete 60 Images?", and continued scrolling down, when my finger touched the warning message. All my precious images were instantly deleted from the camera The sensitive touch screen feature makes this a real problem. Apple should "fix" this unacceptable feature, surely! I suggest that the images on the camera memory card should not be able to be deleted from the iPad, and this shpuld require to be done using the camera controls only. Similarly, the "Delete" or "Keep" options that appear after importing a selection from the camera, should NOT allow the images on rthe camera to be deleted, but only the imported (downloaded) images on the iPad. This unnecessary option could easily delete precious images from the camera!
    Apple should remove the option to delete images from the camera, and the iPad touch screen commands should olny delete images on the iPad. (Alternatively, the "delete option should be on a separatly accessed "page".)
    Surely enough users of the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" will agree with the above?

    No, I don't agree. Whenever you connect a camera to a computer you are given the opportunity to delete the photos on the camera after downloading in precisely the same way the iPad does this. The fact that you touched Delete and then ignored the Warning doesn't change anything.
    I've loaded thousands of photos on my IPad and never have had that problem.
    Don't blame a moment of carelessness on your device.

  • Downloading photos from camera to iPhoto

    Each time I go to download new photos, my iPhoto program wants to import ALL the pictures on the memory stick, instead of just the new ones. What am I not doing? What should I be doing? I don't want to erase the pix from the memory because I use them. But I don't want to re-invent the wheel each and every time I go to download. My camera is a Cannon. The Cannon software recognized the new photos and would ask me what I wanted to do. Anybody.....?

    radish,
    It's been reported here by many folks that iPhoto 6 often fails to ignore the duplicates upon import from a camera.
    Since Canon cameras don't mount on the Desktop, you can use a USB card reader. Remove the card from the camera, pop it into a reader, and it will mount as an external hard drive. If iPhoto brings up its +Ready to Import+ dialog, ignore it. Then do File > Import to Library, and a navigation window will open where you can preview the files on the card and select only the files you wish to import. It's similar to importing with Image Capture, with the advantage of importing directly into your iPhoto library. If you have a photo printer with camera card slots, it may be used as a card reader.
    You are wise to not allow iPhoto to delete the photos from your memory card after importing. There have been too many reports of failed imports followed by total deletions.
    Regards.

  • Problems downloading photos from camera to iPhoto

    All -- I'm running iPhoto 6 on a Mac Mini with the latest version of OS10. I have a Canon PowerShot G3 and shoot 4-megapixel JPEG photos, and AVI movies. Downloading photos from the G3 to the Mac is slow, and deadly slow (as is 15 minutes or more) when there's an AVI movie or two mixed in with JPEGs. I've had to abort several downloads when they just flat out stalled.
    Today when downloading a total of 58 JPEGs and 6 AVI's I got an error message - "unreadable files". 51 JPEGS and 3 AVIs downloaded fine. 7 JPEGS and 3 AVIs didn't download. The error message says "The following files could not be imported. They may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data."
    Any help you all can offer would be much appreciated.
    Greg

    Isn't technology great? The more you learn, the more you need to learn more.
    Have you viewed the iPhoto 6 tutorials? http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/new.html The section on Organizing, "Add Ratings, Titles and Comments" could be helpful.
    Click on the little blue i on the lower left of the iPhoto window, and the Info Panel should pop up. Select a picture, and it shows the info for it. Select a film roll's name, and you can see and edit the info for the whole roll. Click on the roll's title in the info panel to highlight it and you can type in a new name. You can edit the date of the roll this way, and it will affect how your rolls are listed in the library. The dates "from" and "to" are generated by the dates of the items within the roll. If you type comments about a roll they will be shown below the roll's name in the library when the roll is closed. I like to keep rolls that match my camera cards, but they can be very large. So I use comments to list the events contained in the roll, so I know which roll to open when I want to find a specific photo.
    If you view your library in Film Roll view then you see the rolls' names with a little triangle to the left. As in the Finder, clicking on the triangle to make it point right conceales the contents of (closes) an item, while clicking on it to turn it down reveals the items inside the item.
    Now the hard part - all those dates. If the dates and times are totally wrong, I would use iPhoto's Batch change to correct them. However, only iPhoto will recognize this date change, because it won't correct the real problem, which is that the EXIF info is wrong for those pictures. There are ways of changing EXIF info which involve downloading other programs, running batch changes, and re-imprting into iPhoto. I've never done it, but I searched the iPhoto 6 forum for "EXIF rename file info" and restricted by user name Old Toad. Try this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1734147&#1734147 and note Old Toad's last post about PhotoInfo.
    If you don't mind about the EXIF, then you can just redate them within iPhoto. Select a series of photos from the same date, then go to the Photos menu and select Batch Change. Select Set Date. Type the correct date and give a time for the first picture. To force iPhoto to maintain the same order within the series, check Add 1 minute between each photo. This way, although the times will be wrong, at least they will have the correct chronological sequence. (Or type in the times manually after the batch change if the order is not correct.) I always do this with rolls of actual film I get processed at a store. The photo CD I get never has the correct dates or times, so I add these to at least get them to display in my library in the correct order. As far as I know, you have to run a seperate batch change for each date that you want to change to. Unless you have a series with one photo for each day and wish to check "Add X Days between each photo."

  • Downloading images from camera

    I have tried to download images direct from my camera but get the message no photographs. I then tried a card reader - no luck still the same message. I took the memory card to a local well known camera shop thinking that I had lost the images, they put the card into their machine and up popped the photographs. I have since tried inserting the card into another camera but that reads the same as my camera - no images. can anyone shed any light on this? why do the images show up at the camera shop and yet not be recognised by my laptop or camera. These are photographs of my holiday and I dearly want to see them.
    Would be grateful for any assistance

    Not sure what is going on but have the photo shop download them and put them on a CD so you know you have them

    Does your camera mount to the desktop?
    In the card reader does the card mount to the desktop? If so what do you see there using the finder?

  • Downloading pics from camera to iphoto

    i down loaded pics from my camera [canon 500]and every thing performed correctly-the #of photos appeared,the pics displayed as they downloaded,i clicked the import button,but when the pics were thru importing they failed to appear in iphoto...
    i must have clicked some button by mistake and now the pics are somewhere in my imac...
    how can i retrieve them [if they are in my imac]?  

    barneyetengoff:
    Let me take this opportunity to get on my soapbox to recommend what I think is a safer way to upload photos from a camera to the HD and then into iPhoto.
    I use a card reader and upload to a folder on the desktop. I name the folder with the date of the shoot and a brief description like: 12/25/06-Xmas Day Dinner. I then rename the files with R-Name so that they are uniquely identified. This prevents getting the same file name on multiple photos if the camera resets itself back to 1 each time after reformatting the card.
    I then import that folder into iPhoto which gives me a roll with the same name as the folder. Once I'm sure the photos have been safely imported I delete the folder from the desktop. I then use the camera to reformat the card for the next shoot.
    More work, yes, but it insures safe transfer to iPhoto.
    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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Importing jpeg images from camera to IPhoto

    I get the following error message when uploading jpeg images from my camera to IPhoto in my macbook air- "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image".- any ideas?
    If I try to import just one image at the time I get the following error-
    "The following file cannot be imported. The file is in an unrecognisable format"

    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What camera? Does your camera mount to the desktop? Have you tried image capture? Have you tried a USB card reader? When did you last reformat your camera memory card using the camera's format command?

  • Importing images from ipod into iPhoto

    I installed the iPhoto 9.2 update as part of the OSX10.7.2 and am now when I try import my pictures that are stored on my iPod Touch only my Mac shows up. The iPod used to show so I could import the images stored on it, but now that option doesn't exist, it's just the Mac.
    Am I doing something wrong here? Has the process changed? Do I have to activate Photostream just to import the pics locally?
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem importing pics into iphoto 9.2 from my iphone.  Photostream isn't working in the country I'm in (China) but when I connect the phone manually, it doesn't show up in iphoto...
    Also tried the image capture program (which maybe you could try molotovmouse...) but that also doesn't recognise the iphone...and yes it is unlocked...
    apple can't have removed the capability to import photos manually with a cable...can they?? especially as photo stream has not worked for me at all, and it is extremely limited anyway...

  • Open Photoshop image from PDF into Photoshop and change cmyk text to 100% black

    when I have a supplied PDF file that has cmyk text, I open the image in Photoshop but I don't know how to change the cmyk text (some very small and some large) to 100% Black. I used to know the short cut key to do this but I can't remember. I used to use the marque tool then use a short cut key that would knock the cmy out of the k. Can some one please tell me how I can achieve this in a flattened photoshop file opened from PDF into Photoshop. Thanks

    One way to do this:
    Use a hue/saturation adjustment layer, click the Colorize box and drag the Lightness slider to -100. The black will go to C:0, M:0 Y:0, K:100. I'm not aware of a shortcut for this, perhaps someone more informed could help there. You would only want to apply it to the text, clipped to a separate text layer ideally, but if your file is already flattened you could apply it via a selection/masking.
