Edit JPG in Preview and i loose the original ?

Hi i am very muddled up with, is it called Auto Save ?
I Crop a photo in Preview, there isnt a Save As.... just a Save, so i Save it and it Overwrites the original !!.
Why cant i have a Save As.... it would be far Safer and and Easier for me, an Old Un to understand.
So i do have to remember to Save a Copy BEFORE i do anything at all.    gggrrrrrr

The original picture is still there. Open the modified version. Move the mouse curson to the right of the picture's name in the title bar. You'll see a little triangle. Click it and choose Browse all version.
Sorry for the pictures that has Italian menu. I hope you get the idea

  • How do I edit pictures on an iPhone5 without loosing the original?

    1. My original picture is GONE! I had one picture of six of my aunts all together.  I wanted to crop each of their faces out of the original picture and save each as a separate file to  associate with their contact information.  This was "as easy as pie" on my android phone, but with the iphone, once I clicked on "edit", cropped out the first subject and saved it, The original picture was gone -- or at least somewhere that I don't know where it went to!!!  On my previous phone (android htc rezound) each edit of any picture was saved without erasing the original picture. HELP!
    2.  When choosing a picture to go with a contact, sometimes I can't get the part of the picture I want in the circle.  I can get it big enough, but when I let go it sometimes goes back to a size that is too small!    Can someone help me tell me how to do this, or help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The ony exception is itunes purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Adding stills to a concert and lot loosing the sync

    Hi all, Thanks for your attention to my dilemma. I have finished editing a school concert of my daughter singing. Now that I'm done, she has given me some stills, which I've added to iPhoto. She would like them added to the concert video. How do I de-link the audio and video of the concert, add stills in various places and not loose the synchronization between the audio and video? I've seen that I can extract the audio from the video, but I can't figure out how to insert the stills without "pushing" the video and loosing my sync. I'm sure it can be done. I just someone to point me in the proper direction.
    cheers,
    Jack

    The problem here is that you have a finite length of audio which, to keep in synch, has to match visuals of the same duration.
    One thing you can do to extract the audio so that you have the soundtrack in a separate timeline. Now decide for how long you want each photo to appear. Let's call it 5 seconds. Edit out 5 seconds of one of the clips of the video and add the photo. hat will retain the total length of video and keep you in synch.
    Alternatively, have you considered having the photos appear in a corner of the screen while the video is playing, in other words: picture within picture. This can be done using Quicktime, but is a bit fiddly although worth the effort.
    When editing the video of my younger son's wedding (the part where his older brother gives the infamous Best Man Speech), I managed to insert old photos of incidents referred to in his speech as he was making it, to the intended embarrassment of all concerned!
    Here is how to do it:
    Organize the video clips and/or stills that you want to superimpose on to your main video clip, by having these in separate, individual iMovie projects (no matter how small). It helps if these are in the exact length/time you want later.
    Now start with the clip in your iMovie project on to which you want to superimpose one of more smaller video clips or stills. Lets call it Main Clip. Export this (share) to Quicktime Pro in DV (full quality). make sure it has the same aspect as before (Quicktime tends to default to 4:3. If you want 16:9, read on).
    In Quicktime, with this project open, select File ~ Open File. Select the iMovie file (in your movies folder) of the first clip/still you want superimposed. This will open in its own QT window. Select Edit ~ copy. If it is a movie clip then select all ~ copy (or you will only get one frame!). Switch back to the Main Clip window, and click in the scroll bar where you want the extra clip/still to appear. Choose Edit ~ Add to Movie.
    You can repeat this as many times as you like, if you want to build a 'Video Wall', i.e. have several superimposed clips/stills on the same Main Clip.
    Do not worry that the new clip overlaps or covers up the Main Clip, at this stage.
    Choose Window ~ Show Movie Properties. The Properties Dialogue appears.
    You will see a list of video (and audio) tracks. Track one will be the Main Clip, track 2 your new added (superimposed) clip. Click track 2, then click visual settings. From the Scaled Size pop-op menu, choose percent. Then type 50 into the first box. If Preserve Aspect Ratio is turned on you won't need to type 50 into the second box. You have made the pasted footage appear at one quarter its original size. The inset is now hugging the top-left corner of the Main Clip. If you want, you can type numbers into the Offset Boxes to shove it away from that corner (there are 72 pixels to the inch).
    If your original Main Clip was required in 16:9, unclick (de-select) Preserve Aspect Ratio, and type in the relevant numbers in the two boxes, in Video Track 1.
    PAL (for Europe):
    Standard DV (4:3) 788 x 576
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 1050 x 576
    NTSC (for the USA):
    Standard DV (4:3) 720 x 528
    DV Widescreen (16:9) 874 x 480
    This will not affect video track 2, but if that is also wanted in 16:9 repeat for that track.
    You can superimpose, 3, 4, or more such 'overlaps' on the same clip, and spend a happy afternoon tapping away for each track in the Offset Boxes until you have got them all in the right place! You can even overlap them, if you can remember (or note down - hire a secretary to take notes) which track you want on top etc.
    Save the completed QT file. Import the completed file into a new iMovie project. Import this into the original iMovie project, substituting the old clip you copied to QT as Main Clip for the new fancy clip you have made.

    Hello Teddy53149 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Follow this procedure:
    Change your OS X account name and home directory name - Apple Support
    As they recommend and as always when you're messing with administrator accounts back everything up first.

  • HT5252 I tried to change my metadata date and got this   Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the original file "01769_p_h13ajyrm4bm0944.jpg" because it is locked or you do not have permission to modify it.

    I tried to change the metadata date.  It changed the date on my photo, but when I checked the box that said "also change my original file", it gave me this error message.
    Unable to change original file.  Aperture was not able to adjust the date and time of the original file “01769_p_h13ajyrm4bm0944.jpg” because it is locked or you do not have permission to modify it.
    Wassup?

    What is your Aperture version? The older versions of Aperture 3 had a problem to apply Metadata changes to the original file.
    If you are using the current version Aperture 3.4.5, try to repair the permissions on your Aperture library, if you have not already done so:
    Launch Aperture with the key combination ⌥⌘ held down and select "Repair Permissions" from the First Aid PAnel, that will appear.
    If that does not help, post back with more information on your original files - are the referenced or managed? Where is your Aperture library located? Since when do you have this problem? And what did you do directly before noticed the problem for the first time?

    It should remain the way you have adjusted them.  Delete the System Preferences.plist per these instructions:

  • The photo "IMG_5310.JPG" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.

    Each time I open iPhoto or plug in a device and iPhoto automatically opens, the following message appears five times, looking for photos I assume I deleted, perhaps the wrong way. 
    The photo “IMG_5310.JPG” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.
    I've searched the computer for the images, but they seem to be permanently deleted.  How do I "reset" iPhoto from looking for these photos and remove this "Alert"?
    Sincerely,
    Mark T

    mark, you are asking about iPhoto on your Mac, right? This is the iPhoto on IOS devices forum - iPads, iPhones, etc. Next time please post your question in the iLIfe iPhoto forum; you will get more help there.
    But to your question. This error message usually occurs, when original image files are missing from your iPhoto library. iPhoto keeps the original images and the edited versions, and when the originals are removed from the iPhoto Library by deleting them from the Finder, then the photos can no longer be edited, exported, printed.
    Does iPhoot open correctly, after the alert appears? Can you work with it, after the alert finishes? Then delete the corresponding edited versions of the missing originals from your iPhoto library. The versions probably will be marked by an exclamation point, when you browse your photos.
    To prevent this from happening again, open the iPhoto "Preferences" > "Advaced" panel and make sure the option "Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto LIbrary" is enabled. Otherwise original files may be stored outside your iPhoto library and you can accidentally delete them and loose valuable photos.
    Regards

  • I get this alert when opening iPhoto.  "The photo "4ea09cdb.jpg" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found." When I select "find photo" library is greyed out.

    I have to either hit cancel about 100 times to allow me to get into iphoto.  I think this may have to do with photos I have edited over time where the original no longer exists but only the .edited.jpg...
    OSX 10.8.2
    iPhoto 9.4.2

    these do not matchup - they can not all be correct
    Yes, I found the Masters file and they all appear to be there...
    Some of the files in question say "The alias “AtlantisPhoto_01_2.jpg” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."  when I try to access in the master file.
    It was checked when I went into preferences already.
    It sounds like you have unchecked the copy option sometime and imported photos while it was unchecked that no longer have the originals available on the same path as they were when imported
    We only know what you tell us and answers can only be based on the information you provide
    And whjile you are looking inside the iPhoto library be very careful that you do not make any changes of any sort - there are no user servicable parts in it and any changes can destroy your library

  • "The photo "EGY_7895.jpg" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found"

    I'm getting the following message when I click on any photo in my most recent import: "The photo “xxx.jpg” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found". The thumbnails are in iphoto but it dosen't seems to reconize the files when I try to go in to edit. I have iphoto version 8.1.2. Help please.

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management. 
    It sounds like this batch of photos were imported as Referenced.

  • The photo "IMG_0005.JPG" could not be opened, because the original item can

    OK so I got back from Hawaii and wanted to import some pics. I had an unfortunate accident and had to buy a new camera. So now I had two cards both with some of the same image numbers. After I wanted to redo the import so I deleted the original pics and the folders in iPhoto and put them back onto the hard drive in separate folders. Now I get the message
    "The photo “IMG_0005.JPG” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
    Now I have 1019 boxes that it wants me to cancel what do I do. Help

    how did you do these delations? in the iPhoto window or using the finder
    do you have a referenced library ( (The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" has been unchecked) which is strongly NOT recommended. ) or a managed library (that option is in its default checked state)

  • HT5129 The photo "claire-66.jpg" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found.

    because of the mobile me switch i can not use my iphoto. i had some albums in my mobile me web gallery and one of them i had deleted the original files so it will not allow me to use my iphoto because it keeps giving me this error message and i can't get rid of it.
    "The photo “claire-66.jpg” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
    I don't have the original photo anymore so i can not link it to it.

    So, your iPhoto Library is now corrupted.
    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 get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

    I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
    AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
    The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
    There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
    If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

  • Archive files are in XML format and not in the original format

    Hi all,
    I am using a receiver file adapter with archiving option. When I look at the archive files they are in the XML converted format and not in the original flat file format received. We would like to store these files for audit purpose and it doesnt make sense to store XML files. We are in SP04. Does a note need to be applied or any other extra configurations need to be done which I might have missed? Please advise.
    -Teresa

    Hi,
    >>>Wow, the note says its fixed in SP10
    but only the split is fixed not the XML messages in the archive I think (from the note)
    >>>Is there any alternative quick fix and I hate manual work
    create 2 new folders - connect one of them with the file adapter and the second one remains for archives
    in you normal destination folder for your files add a simple program that will check if there are any files and copy them to those two folders - this could be the fastes but obviously not the best solution I guess
    Regards,
