Edit in External Editor only accepts a limited number of photos

I occasionally want to edit a number of photos from my iPhoto library in an external editor (Photoshop). I have properly configured (as far as I know) the "Edit in external editor" setting, and it works correctly when I select a single photo. When I batch select multiple photos, the results vary: regardless of how many photos I select, Photoshop will only open somewhere between 1 and 4 of them. It seems to do better with shift+click to select rather than cmd+click, but in no case will it open more than 4 photos. Much of the time it will only open 2 photos, even if I have selected 7 or 8.
Is there a way to open an arbitrary number of photos in an external editor?
I'm using iPhoto 7.1.5 on OS 10.5.8. The external editor is Photoshop CS3.

No there isn't. You can't send more than four at a time I'm afraid.

IPhoto won't import all photos at once

I just got iPhoto 08 and also got a new camera. The iPhoto will not import all the photos from the camera (more than 100), but will importa a few selected, seems to accept about 5-6 max. Also, after doing that a couple of times, it won't import any more. It seems that if I start all over, unmount the camera and start all over, it will again allow me to import a few more photos. I still have 96 more to go. This is just awful. With the old iPhoto and the old camera, it was just so easy to import all the photos from my camera at once. I have over 5000 photos on the computer. I am really frustrated. I did not see this question addressed on the discussion board, and I'm wondering what I should do. The camera is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W80.

Lisa C:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know of a solution but as a workaround you can use Image Capture, its preferences set which application to open when a camera is connected, to upload to a folder on the Desktop and then import the folder. If you title the folder as you want the Event to be titled it will create the Event with that name.
I use a card reader to do the same as it will save the camera's ports and battery and avoid possible upload aborts due to low battery and large number of photos to upload.
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 created 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. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I delete multiple photos at once from the official Photos app?

Dear fellow Apple users,
I have many pictures on my Camera Roll in Apple's Photos app. What's the quickest way to delete multiple photos at once?
Thus far, I know how to delete photos one by one, but that's time-consuming.
Thank you.

No not box with arrow, that is share button. Edit is where it shows in the pic I posted

Is there a way I can delete lots of photos at once on iPhone 4?

I need to delete lots os photos from my iPhone 4 and I would like to know if I can select a big number of photos and delete them at once instead of having to delete one by one. Is there a way to do that?

If you have a Mac you can delete them with Preview. To do this, connect your phone, launch Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone..., then select the photos you want to delete and press the Delete key.

Camera Roll showing incorrect number of photos

The Camera Roll doesn't seem to be functioning correctly.
When I import photos into iPhoto, i select the option to delete them from the phone.
The photos disappear, but the number of photos apparently in the Camera Roll isn't reset to zero.
Anybody else have this problem?

Can you please post the process steps you're using to move or change your synced photos...
Typically, I would connect my iPhone to my mac, I would manually sync (automatic sync is disabled), I would then remember that I have taken photos, run iPhoto '09 and import the pictures, selecting to delete them when the import process is complete.
I have smart folders in iPhoto that include all iPhone pictures, so I would sync again to the the photos back on my phone.
Also...when you tell iPhoto to delete and then the camera roll still shows a number...are there pictures there or does it have no pics but still has a number???
After iPhoto has deleted the photos, the camera roll has the same number and the Camera Roll folder is empty.

How do I edit and print my photos off the I pad?

I can't seem to edit any of my pictures. I cant upload them to any website to print them off. Does anyone have a suggestion to where or how to edit, print, upload any of my pictures?

There are a number of photo editing applications in the itunes app store that you can edit your photos on the ipad.
http://www.dslrphoto.com/dslr/top-5-best-photography-photo-editing-apps-for-appl e-ipad,14914.html
For uploading and printing, there are a few ways to transfer your pictures to the web such as dropbox, mobile me, or phototransfer http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app/id365152940?mt=8
For printing from your ipad:

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/doc/printing-from-the-ipad-iphone-and-ipod-touch/1792
Or you can just to sync your ipad to your computer (including your photos) and perform your edits, printing and uploading from your computer.

Bogging down with large number of photos

I have over 115,000 (give or take a few 1000) photos in iPhoto at present. I primarily use it to organize photos so I can find them, make slideshows, and hope to eventually make photo books - they're our family history for the past 7 years or so. My iPhoto library is about 155 GB.
I'm running this on the iMac - bought a couple of months ago. 4GB RAM with a 1T HD.
My main grumble is that whenever iPhoto is open, my iMac bogs down. I frequently see the spinning wheel, beach ball, or whatever it's called, particularly when I have the iPhoto to the front and it's just starting up... (plus other times).
A local Mac person thought that if I moved to Aperture, it would handle this number of photos much better... I've never much looked at Aperture before, so I'm not sure... About 2+ years ago, I had PCs and used Adobe Photoshop Elements - loved the organizer, and the level of editing power was just about right.... These days, I have next to no time for any editing except the occasional red-eye, but I can enjoy doing it on occasion (mostly swapping out backgrounds, making collages, etc).
What could I do to improve things???

iPhoto is rated for 250,000 images and while you've a way to go just yet that is still a very big library.
With Libraries of that size I would expect a slowness loading or quitting, though not in normal use - viewing, organizing and so on.
You may be able to speed up launching by turning off all automatic syncing - looking for Shared Libraries, Checking with Mobile Me etc in the Preferences.
Aperture is indeed a Professional application, but I would caution that there is less value in it if you're not shooting Raw and that there is a learning curve in using it. You can download a free trial of Aperture [here|http://www.apple.com/aperture/trial>
You can have multiple libraries in iPhoto, however the downside is that you can only have one open at a time.
If you opt to go that way then to create a library: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and use the same keystroke to Choose between Libraries.
Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

Increasing number of photos on homepage

Hi there,
I was wondering if there was anyway to increase the number of photos I can publish on my .Mac homepage. When I select an album in iPhoto, I get an error message that says the maximum is 48. Any ideas? Oh, I should also mention that I've published photos on Shutterfly in the past, but I find them to be too small; I would like to stick to .Mac if possible. Thanks!

Hi americanlass,
Try uploading the manual way and see if you can get more photos in your Album/slideshow.
You can bypass iPhoto altogether until the situation is resolved. You can manually upload your album to your iDisk.
Within iPhoto, share/export your album. Choose how you want them named, export size should be 800 x 600.
You can choose to export to a folder on the desktop, OR you can navigate to your iDisk/Pictures folder (by clicking on your iDisk in the left column of the Export window, then highlighting the Pictures folder...wait till the files show up.
Now click the button on the bottom left for "new folder" name the folder to the name of your slideshow. Now click "ok"
Wait till all your files are uploaded to your idisk Pictures folder.
If you exported to the desktop, then open up your iDisk folder (mount your iDisk), navigate to the Pictures folder and drag your folder of exported photos into the Pictures folder.
Go to your .Mac homepage.
Go to "create a page" and choose the album template you want.
In the next window your Pictures folder will open up. Highlight the folder you just uploaded, and click the "choose" button
Now you can finish your editing, titles, etc. and you are good to go.

Limit on the number of photos?

Is there a limit on the number of photos the ATV2 can show from our iPhoto library? I have over 32,000 photos in my library and when I try to see them, only 19,998 show up. I'm missing my last 4 years of photos (19,998 doesn't seem like a coincidence to me).
I can see all albums and events (when I'm using those menus) but they are not in reverse chronological order so the most recent albums and events are at the end of the looooong list (I have more than 750 events in my iPhoto library). This is not practical at all.
And of course, it's taking a looooong time just for the events and albums to show up on the screen. My network is all Apple 802.11n stuff so it should not be the bottleneck. Any ideas?

The limit is based on the 8GB internal storage on the ATV2. I confirmed this with Express Lane support today. ATV2 will try to load your entire library but will stop when it gets to the limit and does not provide any messages stating that the limit has been reached. This means that you will get roughly the first 20,000 of your library, starting with the most recent.
The work around is to select which albums or folders from iPhoto that are to be synced, much like you would do for an iPod or iPhone that can't fit your whole music or photo library. This selection process is done in iPhoto's Sharing preferences where you select Share my photos and choose the second option to Share selected albums. Note that the list will contain iPhoto folders as well as albums.
Once you reach the 8GB limit, you may also have a problem playing the video files in your iPhoto library that appear to have been synced, as the full videos are not loaded until they are selected for playing. Once that is tried, ATV2 will likely crash as the 8GB limit is exceeded. No harm is done to your library that is safe.
This whole process is not well supervised by the ATV2 system as it keeps the user in the dark.

Maximum number of photos allowed in an i photo6 slide show???

What is the maximum number of photos allowed in an i photo 6 slide show???
In a previous version, it was 99, I believe. I can't find the answer in any documentation.
g-5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

photo princess:
There never was a limit to the number of slides in an iPhoto slideshow. That 99 limit was for slideshow created in iDVD from imported stills. iDVD can not have more than 99 slides in any one slideshow that's created entirely in iDVD but at 99 the chapter number of the next slide (each slide is considered a chapter) reverts back to 1. It's a DVD standard issue, not an iDVD thing.
Do you Twango?

Cameral roll wrong number of photo again?

Hi,
Since upgrading to 3.1 I also noticed the number of photos in the Camera Roll is seldom correct. It would display 31 when I have only 7 etc... somehow deleting a photo sometimes corrects the counter. But after adding a few new pix, get screwed up again.
(sigh)
JP.

My 3G (3.1) often shows one picture when the camera roll is empty.
I notice that if I take a picture and then delete it, the count shows nothing as it should but a little later it will once again show 1.
Any way to fix this?

Showing the number of photos

I just upgraded to iPhoto 09, running under OX 10.5.6, 2.4 gHZ Intel Duo Core, 4 GB memory.
In the iPhoto window, on the left hand is a list column. Under Library are Events, Photos, Faces, etc. Under Album, I have United States, etc. How can I get iPhoto to show the number of photos next to each of these entries? They were there before the program crashed. They are not there now after I rebuilt and trashed the preference file.
Thanks. Tom

iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> general -- check "show item count"

Help in sharing a large number of photos?

I am looking for a reasonably quick way of sharing a large number of photos with other members of my church as well as on other occasions family and friends.
The photos are all loaded onto my iPad at their original resolution and are high quality .jpegs taken with a Nikon DSLR (D7000).
I would prefer to use something "cloud" based rather than a commercial enterprise if possible but don't know how to do it.
Can someone give me some suggestions? I am a long time PC user and am pretty adept at Windows but a stymied by the Apple system, particularly my inability, seemingly to really delete individual photos without finding them all over again somewhere else on the iPad. Delete "everywhere" seems not to be quite accurate to describe what happens.
Thanks for helping me out.

Try sharing it via photostream. It makes a link so people with non iOS devices can view them all you do is forware it to their emails........
heres a link for photstream. Good luck!
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379
Follow the steps below to create a shared photo stream. Note that you cannot share all the photos in My Photo Stream at one time. However, you can select images from it to create a shared photo stream.
On your device using iOS 6:
From the Home screen, tap Photos.
Tap the Photo Stream tab. (Note: You can also share images from your Camera Roll or an album in your Camera Roll. Tap the Albums tab, then tap Camera Roll or an Album. Continue with steps 4-7 below.)

Enter the email addresses of the people with whom you'd like to share this new photo stream. Type in a name for your photo stream. To share this photo stream on iCloud.com, move the Public Website slider to the ON position. If you will be sharing your stream with someone who does not have an iCloud account, you will need to make the stream public. People without an iCloud account can view the stream in a web browser. Tap Next.
Optionally, you can add a comment for your new stream to introduce it. Tap Post.

IPhoto 9.5.1 face recognition slow with large number of photos ( 20,000)

I have a new fast Imac with new Iphoto 9.5.1. I have >20,000 photos. When I use face recognition with people who have >50 photos associated with them, the rolling ball continues for 20-40 seconds. I didn't have this with the same number of photos with my old Imac2009 with Iphoto 9.4.3, 2011.
Thanks.

That is probably still the initial setup for face recognition for you new iPhoto version. Once the "Faces" database has been rebuild, the performance should get better. Give it a day or two. If the problem persists, back up your iPhoto library and rebuild it.
Hold down the key combination alt/option- command ⌥⌘ firmly and double click the iPhoto library to launch the First Aid Tools. Keep holding down the keys, until you are seeing the First Aid Panel. Select the entry "Rebuild Database" from the panel and click "Rebuild".
