Editing photo but still keeping the original
I am new to iphoto and I hope this is not a dumb question. But how do I edit a photo for a project, but till want to retain the original photo? I want to convert several photos to black and white for a project, but I want to also save the original in it's color format. Am I missing something?
Simply, it does it automatically.
When you edit a shot iphoto applies those edits to a copy of the original. If you want to revert then check out the Photos -> Revert to Original command.
If you want the Original side by side in the iPhoto Window then duplicate the photo first and then edit the duplicate. This will give you your Original and an edited version in the iPhoto Window.
If having versions is a big part of your work then check out Aperture, where this is easier to do.

I want to put my albumns under the bands name but still keep the albumn in their original covers
I want to put my Albums under the groups name, but still have the albums cover showing which would allow me to click on the cover to play that albums songs, but when looking at it on my devices I would see that there is the group I'm looking for and under it there is the albums belonging to that group.
Thanks everyone - I have a wealth of advise, options and warnings to shift thru here!
Really appreciate everyone taking the time to help me out
99jon seems to have the best solution for my unique situation - but so many of you added good tips or additional info - I really appreciate it - gained so much more knowledge just from these responses!
dj_paige - I appreciate your concerns for lost data or extra work - but reality is the files I am looking to move aren't very likely to ever be needed again. It's 1,000s and 1,000's of pictures of "other peoples kids" from 9 years of High school soccer, 4 years of College hockey and 11 years of club soccer. Obviously I am keeping the images featuring my own children or their close friends. I really just didn't want to clog up my new PC or waste space on my external drives (i have 4 totaling about 9 terabytes of storage)
My plan is to extract these unneeded pics to one of my older external drives - which will be dedicated as "archive" so I will always know where they are...save the metadata as suggested, and then delete then from the existing catalog so I can cut it down to size. It took 8 hours to do a full catalog back up of my PSE 11 catalog......only a little over 3 for my PSE12 - where I was much more disciplined in my "star" maintenance and deleted sub standards shots much more religiously! -
My daughter shares my apple id on her ipod touch. i recently got an i pad and now i'm getting all of her instant messages and face time calls. Is there a way to change her contact information for those two areas so i don't get them on my i pad but keep the same apple id for purchases? Thank you

How to recover deleted photos but still inside the photoshop
Hello to everybody. I have a serious problem. I bought a new mobileHDD & i transfered all my photos plus some other items.But i made one stupid thing. I deleted one folder with 480 photos before i transfer it to the HDD. I found it after one week when I already emptied the bin. All the photos are inside the Photoshop nut to use them i need to reconnect them . But how can i do that....not possible. So do you have any solution . I need the photos (summer vacation from Italy!!!)
Please HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I am sorry, but no amount of exclamation marks are going to help you. You deleted the pictures and emptied the recycle bin [and, I assume, don't do backups]. You pictures are gone.
If the thumbnails are still showing in PSA SE, the best that could be done is to make them as big as possible and do screen captures. -
I have recently upgraded the ram on my imac leopard from 2gigs to 4gigs. One bank works fine and shows 2 but the other shows nil but not when i put back the orginal 1 gig ram.It shows up as 1.
Whats going on and what t casn be done to rectify.?Hi Ralph,
I can't say that these examples meet your question entirely, it's late and I haven't time to go through them, but it does seem in part to meet your enquiry. Hopefully it will help.

I am trying to delete duplicate photos fron my events in i-photo but it deltes the photo entirely from all events. How do I keep them in the original events and delte the duplicates without sending them all to the trash?
Are you referring to Events or Albums? A photo can exist in one Event only. However, it can be in multiple albums, books, etc., which uses pointers to the original photo in the Event. In those cases if you delete the photo from the Event all occurrences of it will be deleted from the library.

Having trouble figuring out how to save the original photo after I've cropped it - i.e. I want to create a headshot of my husband from a photo of the two of us, but I also want to keep the original. Seems very basic, but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be great!
Use File >> Save As
Choose a different file name so as not to overwrite the original and don't save any changes when closing the original. -
My husband and I use the same apple Id. We would like to each have our own apple id, but we do not want to lose all our information associated with the current id. One of us will keep the original. If one us creates a new apple id how will that affect the iPhone and iTunes?
That would be my suggestion. Just keep using the common one for purchases in the stores. Then each get another AppleID using a free gmail, AOL, hotmail, MS Live or whatever email account.
Delete your current iCloud account and login with the new AppleID, and logout of Messaging and then backin with the new AppleID. Now you have a shared iTunes/App store account, but completely separate, independent iCloud and iMessage accounts.
You can still share calendars if you wish to, even across separate accounts - http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690 -
My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?
If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
The use family sharing to share apps
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases. -

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?
because you are exporting the original?
SInce you give us no information at all we can only guess and that is the most likely
How are you editing the photo - iPhoto? An external editor? How?
how are you exporting?
Remember we are users just like you - not psychics

how do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager? and keep the events in the same order with blank events also
Not sure you can.
Library Manager creates an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back. -
im trying to free space on my iphone 4 8gb by deleting photos, if i put them onto my icloud can i delete the photo stream but still have the photos
There's no way to delete all message threads at one go. You can however do one contact thread at a time.
In Messages app where you see a list of messages from different contacts, tap Edit (top left), tap the red (on the left), then tap the red Delete button on the right.
