Duplicate photos stay with the original - so why does iPhoto 6 lose position?

This may just be a quirk of iPhoto 6 and fixed in a later version?
When I duplicate a photo, unbelievably iPhoto 6 returns me to the TOP of my Library (thousands of pictures). I then have to spend some ttime scrolling down until I'm back at the picture, only to find that iPhoto has placed the two pictures side by side! So why on earth does iPhoto take me about as far away as it can, from the two pictures?
(The same thing happens after I've imported photos ... as soon as I eject the camera or switch it off to save battery.)
iTunes doesn't do this when you duplicate (convert) a song. Finder lets you duplicate a file but doesn't then scroll you to the top of the folder. What, if any, is the logic?

How can I change or cancel this feature
You can't.
Does anybody have an idea or similiar expierence.
Everybody does.
iPhoto is not just an image viewer, but is a Database with a built-in image viewer, version control and lightweight editing.
A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way. This also includes photos that have been auto-rotated by your camera.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
So each element is there for a reason and there is no actual duplication.
The notion of version control (the ability to revert to an Original) is central to the philosophy of the application, and if you don't want the feature, then the application may not be for you. There are many image viewers available.

When I open a new link and then switch back to the original page why does it go all the way back to the top of page?

Scroll to the middle or bottom of a page with many links (like ebay) then close the link and when it returns to original page you are sent all the way back to the top of the page, why does it not switch back to the area of the page I was originally viewing?

Try here:
Tools > Options > Applications
Enter JPEG into the search box and change any that say "Save file" to "Always ask".
Does it work?
Edit: Forgot one other relevant setting. On:
Tools > Options >General tab
pick "Always ask me where to save files"
All good now?

Dropped in photos to move/stay with the text?

Hello all,
I'm writing up a long document detailing certain events, and I'm placing photos from my iPhoto library in it as I go. However, I'm also going back to the beginning and adding things on there. Whenever I do that, my photos stay but the text moves further and further on, thus my photos get "delinked" per-se. Is there a way I can gang the photos to the text? Maybe making the text an object? I'm a Final Cut guy, so I'm hoping that some of you are Pages people.
Thank you,
-Brian

Brian,
With the Wrap Inspector open, select one of your photos. Is it Inline or Floating? To lock your photos to the text so that the photos stay with the text as you add text above, you want your photo objects to be set to Inline. Inline objects have limited position options, whereas Floating objects can be set virtually anywhere you like but they aren't locked to the text.

When i take pictures with the new ipad why is there static

when i take a picture with the new ipad why does the picture have noise in it but when i look at pictures online the photos are perfect

Because both cameras have different resolutions. The camera on the back of your Ipad (3rd gen.) is 5 megapixels; while the camera in front (used mainly for Facetime, etc.) is only 0.3 megapixels. Hope this helps.

Why does iPhoto now import videos?

I'm shooting a video and production stills with my DSLR. Why does iPhoto '11 import the videos? They just take up disk space. I can't do anything with them in iPhoto. Can I tell iPhoto to import the stills only?

iPhoto has always had the ability to import certain formats of video. Also, iPhoto video can be seen in iMovie for editting. - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196.

Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library? I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC. I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos. The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor. I am using IPhoto 11.
Thanks in advance

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

How do I duplicate an image on the main screen so that I can edit it and compare the result with the original?

In Elements 12 How do I duplicate an image on the main screen (as well as the photo bin) so that i can compare any editing with the original?

In full Editor, go to Edit>Preferences>General and check "Allow Floating Documents in Full Edit Mode"
Open the image so that you see it in the project bin
Right click the image thumbnail in the project bin, and duplicate. It will come in as xxxcopy
On the Arrange icon at the top, select 2-up. You should see the original and the duplicate in the work area

I customize my paper size and print size and am then viewing a photo on my screen. I print it out and it chops off about 5% of all edges of my original photo on the screen. Why does it do that? It is driving me crazy. I use an Epson Photo 2200 printer.

What print and paper sizes are you using? Are you trying to print a borderless print? Does your printer support borderless for that particular size? Are you printing to the custom stock size or to a larger stock size?

Why can't I listen to radio stations and run a download on the ipad2 at the same time as with the original iPad

why can't I listen to radio stations and run a downloaded program at the same time with the ipad2 as I could with the original iPad?
is there something in the new one that I have not turned on?

Nothing needs to be turned on. What apps are you attempting to use? Perhaps the versions you have don't support background operation.

Since I synced my ipad to my iMac I have duplicate photos appearing in the Photo section on my iPad and one can be trashed but the other one can't. How can I get rid of the ones without the trashcan?

Thanks so much. I was afraid to mess with that. But when I unsynced them, it worked.

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display/

How can I create a slideshow that depicts only a version of a photo rather than the original? Since the original and new versions are saved together, the aperture slideshow often choices the original rather than the desired version to display.

There are two things we use the name "Slideshow" for in Aperture: a Slideshow Album, used for making Slideshows, and the Slideshow that is made. (Imho, it is a design mistake to not call the containers used to create Slideshows, Books, etc., "Albums".)
The Slideshow will use the Album Pick from any Stack. A good way to use Aperture is to promote the Image you want to regularly use (such as, for example, a Version with adjustments) to the top of the Stack. This makes it the Stack Pick, and will be the default Album Pick. If you haven't done that, you can still change the Album Pick for any Stack in a Slideshow Album. Expand your Stack(s), select the Image in each Stack that you want to be the Album Pick (and thus shown in the Slideshow), and "Stacks➞Set Album Pick". (Note the keyboard shortcut; there is also a Toolbar icon for this.) The change is immediate. The Slideshow will always show the Album Pick (or, if there is not one, the Stack Pick) for every Stack in your Slideshow Album.

How to make a photo STAY in the assets panel for future use for In browser editing?

How to make a photo STAY in the assets panel for future use for In browser editing?
When I delete a photo from a page, it does not stay in the assets panel. My client uses in browser editing daily. Once a week he changes a photo just for a day, then needs the previous photo to replace it. The original photo is not in the asset panel (or folder) for him to choose.
When you upload a photo, it has an arrow in the asset panel. How do you use this as an asset?

Sure ... right mouse click on your page and choose 'Exclude Page from Menus' :-)

The sequence does not match with the original clip

What I have learned about how to effectively match the sequence with original clip is by dragging the imported clip into the new item button, or right click the clip and click on "New Sequence from Clip" button. I did it exactly, however, like you can see in the image I attached, there is a black space under the clip on the sequence and the general quality of video and audio are worse than the original. Why is this happening? Please help.

Is this what you are asking about?

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:
