Dragging iPhoto images into Powerpoint

When I drag photos from iPhoto 6.0.5 into a Powerpoint X slide, I get a blank white box with the message that "Quicktime and TIFF (uncompressed) decompressor is needed to see this picture."
This was not a problem with iPhoto 5.
Has anyone come up with a drag-and-drop solution for this? I know I can get around it by exporting to the desktop and then dragging into Powerpoint, but since I do this hundreds of times per week I would rather be able to drag-and-drop directly.

I have the same problem for Word. I found that I can go into edit mode in iphoto and then the thumbs will drag and drop like they used to...
The same thing happened with my old G4 using iphoto 6

  • Help!  I drag an image into pages but it gives me the images info instead of the picture!  What do I do?

    Does any one know what i need to change.  When i'm dragging an image into pages it ends up with the images info and web address rather than the image itself.  What should I do?
    Thank you.

    Try dragging the image to the desktop and then to the Pages document or
    Select and copy the image and paste it into the document.
    It could be that the webpage is making it impossible to knick the image. I have encountered that a few times.

  • When I drag an image into IBA, it rotates 90 degrees.

    I'm having trouble dragging a particular image into iBooks Author.  I took a picture and imported from my camera to iPhoto.  The image had to be rotated 90 degrees, which I did in iPhoto.  I'm using the "Contemporary" template in iBooks Author and I'm trying to drag my image from iPhoto to replace the red, space themed image at the top of a section page.  When I do so, the image reverts to its original instead of the rotated form.  I can't figure out how to rotate the image without rotating the mask.

    Hello Abram1,
    Not sure of the reasons but I would imaging it might have to do with iPhoto and its non destruction approach to editing.
    Have you tried exporting the image out as a new image that would then have the new rotation that you wish applied to it.
    I hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • Help: import iphoto images into FCE

    Hi, Jake here. Hope you're all doing well....
    I just bumped up from iMovie 06 to FCE. Loving it so far, but still overwhlemed by the learning curve.
    Today's big question is how to best import a series of photos from iPhoto into FCE. I will be mixing photos & videos for most of my projects. I have tried these two things so far:
    1) Dragged & dropped from iphoto directly onto the FCE timeline. Image looks very blurry.
    2) Exported at max JPEG quality from iphoto to a location on my hard drive. Then imported file into FCE, then placed on timeline. It's every bit as blurry.
    Both images have a green line above them, indicating a preview render?? I don't get it, but I just know photos weren't blurry in the store when the Mac guys showed this to me a couple weeks ago.
    So what is the easiest way to do this? I want to import photos quickly & easily, then add effects & movement, but I can't believe that Apple has made it so cumbersome. I imagine I am missing something here. Please advise.
    Thanks!
    Jake

    I think Jake did everything correctly but is expecting too much from a DV format.
    I repeated the same with a 2304 × 1736 (4 megapixel) image and I got the same:
    - dragging a Photo JPEG image (square pixels) to a DV (PAL or NTSC) sequence requires rendering: I get the same green render bar on top
    - in addition the resolution loss from 2304 × 1736 to 720x480 (or 720x576) makes the image blurry
    If you compare the iPhoto image and the imported image in the viewer (not in the timeline) you see basically the same quality; but the same image already converted into the timeline is blurry.
    I'm afraid Jake has to live with this or move to HD. In any case iMovie could do no better than FCE.
    My suggestion in any case is always to check the final quality of the movie, during editing, on an interlaced monitor (TV) connected through firewire and a D/A converter (e.g. camcorder): mostly for still images.

  • Drag the image into target

    I need to drag the image like (banana.png) and drop that image into target(rectangle),target2(rectangle),etc. but I difficult to replace that target(rectangle) to be (banana.png) in drop event handler, Please help Me..
    this is my source code
    final Rectangle target = new Rectangle();
    target.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler <DragEvent>() {
    @Override
    public void handle(DragEvent event) {
    System.out.println("onDragDrop");
    Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
    if (db.hasImage()) {
    db.getImage(); //how to get the image (banana.png) and replace the target (rectangle) ?
    event.consume();
    });

    final Pane rectangleHolder = new Pane();
    final Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle();
    rectangleHolder.getChildren().add(rectangle);
    // add rectangleHolder to the layout instead of rectangle...
    // and then
    if (db.hasImage()) {
      rectangleHolder.getChildren().setAll(new ImageView(db.getImage());
    }Depending on your layout, you may be able simply replace the rectangle in the existing layout without introducing the new Pane. You can always do something like
    ObservableList<Node> rectangleAndSiblings = ((Pane)rectangle.getParent()).getChildren();
    rectangleAndSiblings.set(rectangleAndSiblings.indexOf(rectangle), new ImageView(db.getImage()));but it doesn't need to be that complex.

  • Keep transitions intact when importing mult. iPhoto images into iMovie HD?

    Is it possible to import a completed iPhoto album show with hundreds of images with random transitions between each into iMovie while still keeping the random transitions between the iPhoto images intact?
    If not, is there a way to select random transitions between the still images in iMovie once they get there rather than select and create each and every one of the transitions myself?
    Thanks!

    Because iMovie and iPhoto serve different purposes, each has features not found in the other. There is no way in iMovie to automatically add random transitions to slideshows, for example, while iPhoto offers that feature. (In iMovie, the assumption is the user wants absolute control over such features, wants to control each frame of the slideshow.)
    That doesn't prevent you from having your cake and eating it too, however. Remember, many of the iLife apps allow you move stuff around between them.
    For example, you can create a slideshow containing random transitions in iPhoto, export it to a QuickTime movie, import that movie to iMovie, add titles and songs, add some video from a video camera, add a voiceover narration, add some Chapter Markers, add an iMovie theme to introduce each chapter, then send the iMovie project off to iDVD to burn a DVD that plays on a TV.
    So, check out the File > Export command in iPhoto. Set the exported movie to 640x480. The command will export your iPhoto slideshow to an MPEG-4 type QuickTime movie. Create a new MPEG-4 type iMovie project and import that movie to it. (Use the disclosure arrow towards the bottom of the window where you name the new iMovie project to select the MPEG-4 project type.)

  • Can't drag certain images into other albums

    Hi, forgive me if this has been covered here, but I couldn't find it in search.
    I cannot copy certain image versions to other albums within the same project for some reason. I have a couple hundred shots in this project, and most drag/copy into the album fine, but there is at least one that does not, no matter what I do. I've tried unstacking it from it's stack, etc. -- still won't copy.
    It does act as if it's copying though -- the green plus sign appears over the album - but it never appears in that album.
    Suggestions?

    Make sure you are not filtering what the browser is showing in that album. Check that the searching box doesn't have anything written on it. By default should say 'Unrated or better'. Also if those versions you are copying are marked as rejects you'll need to select in the searching box 'Show all"

  • Merging ipad iphoto images into aperture

    In order to lighten my load while travelling, can RAW images imported into an Ipad, using Iphoto, then be moved to my Imac where they can  be merged into Aperture

    I also got a lot of duplicates. They were the edited versions of images. Some looked identical to the originals, though, and I don't recall ever modifying them but I have assumed I opened those images (as if to edit them) at some point. I have done that from time to time without saving any adjustments.
    On import to Aperture, the originals and edited versions were stacked for me. That made it easy to find and delete the ones that were identical to the originals while keeping the edited ones I still wanted, I just looked for stacks of two.
    The originals were given the keyword "iPhoto Original" and the modified ones "iPhoto Edited". If that's the case for you too, you should be able to sort and delete them quickly if you don't want to keep any of them.

  • Can't drag firefox image into applications folder

    The instructions advise to drag firefox to image of Applications folder, but I can't find the firefox image. 2 show up on my desktop, but neither look like the one in the image and neither will move to applications folder or to dock. HELP!

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
    Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.<br />

  • How to direct import iPhoto images into InDesign pages?

    Is there a simple way to import images from iPhoto and not loose resolution? I keep my concept images for client presentations in iPhoto and have been using Pages or Photoshop or Keynote to create simple presentation pages with images, and the same header/footer with my logo, project name. I would like to have a bit more type control so ran through tutorials on InDesign and didn't find my answer.

  • I can't drag and drop an image into Photoshop CS5

    I don't know what's going on. I've never had this problem before.
    When I try to drag and image into photoshop I get the black circle with a black line through it
    I took of the administrative settings also. I've tried everything, I've uninstalled it then reinstalled it. Nothing. Please help.

    Well yes cleem any photoshop icon, or shortcut, whether its in your start menu, on you desktop....
    careful: this is tricky, if you right click the photoshop icon on your windows 7 taskbar, a new menu opens, you'll have to right click again on the "Photoshop cc" icon, in order to access properties.
    does this make it clear? did it work fine with you? let me know

  • Drag an image from desktop into Aperture

    I can't drag an image into Aperture from my desktop. It just comes back to the desktop. Is there something I'm missing? Do I use import for one image?

    Where are you dragging to?
    You can't drag to the smart albums. Drag directly into a project or to the Aperture icon in the Dock.
    Do I use import for one image?
    That is better, if you need preset to be applied when importing, for example Time Zone correction.

  • Downsize iPhoto images & export them to a folder using Automator?

    Please bear with me. I wasn't sure where to post this since I can't find an Automator string in the Discussions window. This is what I'd like to do. I'm making web site using iWeb and I love it. However, when dragging and dropping images into iWeb from the iPhoto media browser, it imports the original iPhoto image into iWeb and not the edited one. This seems stupid to me but there it is. So as some have suggested I thought I'd grab and album and have all the photos in it downsized to 800x(constrained proportion). Can Automator do this? When i poke around in the iPhoto actions in Automator I don't see much. I've searched AutomatorWorld also and can't find anything there. Am I being dim about this?

    Benjamin
    I can't help you with Automator, but there is an Automator forum under the Mac OS X 10.4 folder, where I'm sure they'll help.

  • IMovie 11 not importing iPhoto images

    Hi!
    Since installing iLife 11 I can no longer import iPhoto images into my iMovie projects. Here's the detail:
    I select a photo from my iPhoto collection using the multimedia navigator in the bottom right-hand corner of iMovie. I drag an icon of the photo into my iMovie project. The icon appears a few seconds later in the project. But when I play the project, the photo is not shown, the previous sequence freezes for the duration of the time that the image was meant to appear. What's wrong?
    Similarly, the iMovie function which is supposed to identify iPhoto images corresponding to the event I am working on, does not work.
    I have an Intel iMac and the latest versions of Snow Leopard, iMovie and iPhoto (version iLife 11).
    I am naively shocked that two iLife programmes do not interact seamlessly.
    Thanks in advance for taking time to help me!

    Anyway in my searches to fix this problem, I noted that one contributor imports pics to imovie by a novel method. They export the image from iPhoto or Aperture to the desktop, then drag the image from the desktop onto the iMovie timeline. So I tried that and PRESTO, the image played perfectly.  I've applied this workaround several times in the last half hour with images from iPhoto and Aperture , and it continues to work.
    John - that's an excellent workaround which I've used on the odd occasion. But be aware that if you subsequently move the image from the Desktop to another location, the project may lose track of it (the project links to the image file). If you right-click on the image in the project before moving it, then select Reveal in Finder, you will be taken to Desktop in Finder. But if you do the same after moving the image, Reveal in Finder doesn't work, that is, nothing happens. The image may still be viewable in the project, but I'm not sure that it will always remain that way.
    What I do with problem images in iPhoto is drag them to the Desktop, then open in Preview. From Preview I then Save As a jpeg file (even though it may already be in jpeg format). Finally, I re-import the saved image to iPhoto and use that image in iMovie - secure in the knowledge that I'm unlikely to move it again once stored in iPhoto. Re-saving images in Preview seems to help when they are not playing well with iMovie (or iPhoto for that matter).
