Editing Photos in Albums

In iPhoto 08 when I edit a photograph in an album the changes I make a reflected back in the Events. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening. Otherwise I have to keep resetting the photos in the Events section. Thanks alot.

Not without duplicating the files.
Photos in albums reference photos in the Library. It's the same pic you see, so when edited in one place it's edited in every place. If you want a separate version for an Album then you'll need to duplicate the photo first (Photos -> Duplicate)

Edit photo in album without changing original

In iPhoto '08, it seems like any photo that I edit in an album also edits the original. This is why I stopped using one of the earlier versions of iPhoto. It seemed like this was fixed in iPhoto 6, so that iPhoto would automatically preserve the original and save the changes in a copy of the photo.
Is there a setting that can be changed in the preferences somewhere? If I'm working on two albums (i.e. one for each child) I often want to use the same photos but crop them differently, and I'd rather not have to remember to make a copy any time I do so.

No, all occurrences of a photo in the library other than in an event is just an alias of the original or the edited version. Change one and you change all.
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 and Leopard. 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.

Editing photos in album for book and freeze

Hi,
I have just upgraded to 5.0.4 and am using Panther 10.3.9 at the moment. I am trying to make a book with a library of 700 photos. I am first creating an album and editing it down to about 30 photos. Now I am editing the individual photos, crop, enhance, sharpen, etc.
I have had a crash during the saving photo. This was happening all the time (crashes, SPWOD, freeze) when I did a large book with 5.0.2 and had a 2000+ photo library. I thought I had addressed the problem by upgrading, using iphoto buddy, keeping the library small.
Do other people have no problem editing everything right in iPhoto, or should I do that in Photoshop and import the pics. I prefer to do it right in iPhoto, but not if it freezes all the time!
Thanks!

First repair disk permissions with Disk Utility and then manually set the permissions on your iPhoto Library folder as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
One way to give it another go is to export those 30 photos to a folder on the desktop, create a new library and import them into it. Now you have a minimum sized library and can try to shake down the problem. I make a new library for each book I've created. Makes things smaller and faster. I use iPhoto Buddy to easily move between libraries.
It's my opinion that it's best to use Photoshop for your editing. That's also what I do. But I do it from within iPhoto by setting PS as my editor of choice in iPhoto's General preference window under "Double-click: Open photo in:"
The only caveat is doing it that way is if you must keep the file name and extension the same. If you create a layered file that necessitates an extension change to .psd then you must save to the desktop and import as a new file. Simple edits you save as usual.
Have you tried deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist? It may help fix the crashing problem. Another potential fix would be to rebuild the library, after making a backup copy of the iPhoto Library folder beforehand, selecting all option but the one regarding orphaned files.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

How do I save an edited photo from an album in the same album?

How do I save an edited photo from an album in the same album in ipad?

You mean in the organizer? Go back to the edtior and save the way you would in any program (ctrl+S/command+S or File>Save) and close the image there.

In IPhoto or IPad, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with only edited photos. How do I keep it in or get it back to its original album?

When using IPhoto for IPad, can I move photos from one album to another? For instance, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with other edited photos. How do I keep it in or move it back to its original album?

That will depend on the kind of album your photo is in.
Most albums in iPhoto are created automatic by the way you are using and editing your photos, see: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.1/#blnkb9b1e2a
When you edit your photo, the edited copy is added to the automatic "edited" album and the view switches to he edited album. But the photo should stay in its original album - do you see something different? Only if you want the edited photo in the camera roll and the photo strea as well, you have to save the edited copy to the camera roll again after editing, otherwise the camera roll will show the original and not the edted version.

I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8). The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos :( Help please - I really need the photos!

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

Creating album of edited photos only.

How do I move just the final edited photo to an album but retain the original and edited versions in the catalogue. ? Every time I try, all the copies move to the album and when I try to remove the unwanted copies from the album it removes all of the particular photo.

Hi Brian and 99jon,
Thanks for you replies.
The albums I will be sending to friends contain between 100 - 120 photos. I was thinking that this is too much to email and was considering copying to CD/flash drive and sending them. I am not into Facebook so cannot upload them to that. I havent tried copying to disc yet but believe, maybe wrongly, that the entire album, including al lmy attempts at editing, will be copied. I will try this later.
99jon, I am using version sets as I thought this was the easiest way to keep the original and edited versions together. What your comment impies is that if I wasnt using version sets but just saved the edited copies with a new file name then I wouldnt have a problem copying the final edited version to the album. I havent tried this either yet and again will try later but this sounds as though it could be quite time consuming in keeping the original and edited versions together in my catalogue.

Saving edited photos in original album

When I edit a photo in an album ie.rotate it, it will only save the edited photo in camera roll and not in the original album, how do I stop it from saving in camera roll?

Make sure the image is not 16 bits/channel and not bitmap or indexed color.
Image>Mode
Usually RGB Color and 8 bits/channel is the norm for saving as a jpeg.
Also if your document has layers (jpeg doesn't support layers) you would need to flatten the photo before being able to save as a jpeg.
If you want to keep the layers use a format such as psd or tif.

Unable toupdate an album after editing photos externally (i.E.: photoshop)

I took a photo album and converted it to a book. After laying out my book, I want to edit the photo's externally with Photoshop (Removing date stamp on digital images, better effects and quality control).
How do I update my album/book with the changed/edited images?
PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

ParkGroup:
To get iPhoto to recognize the edits when using a 3rd party editor like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you first must select it in iPhoto's General preference section's Edit photo: menu.
Next, double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing and hit the Save button, if you get the JPEG Options window at the next step just go ahead and click on OK.
However, if you get the navigation window indicating that PS wants to save it as a PS file you'll need to select jpeg from the menu and save or click on the desktop in the Navigation window and save it to the desktop and import it as a new photo.
Editing a photo in PS directly from the Finder will result in iPhoto not knowing that the file has been edited and it won't show up in the Modified folder nor will the thumbnail be updated.
Do you Twango?

Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
please help.

Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

How do i edit photos on my iphone?

I have an iPhone 4GS and can seem to edit my photos on the phone as it is eating up my memory on the phone..How can I display the photos on my iPhone ansd delete them as I have let it get out of control?

Use the Photos app. You can delete ant photo in the Camera Roll or All Imported folders.
Photos in albums that were copied to your device by syncing with your computer can be removed by syncing again and deselecting the albums you wish to delete.

Anyone know why my iPhoto program won't save my edited photos?

I can see them in the album and in the "events" in my library. When I open it that far, I see all of my edited photos, but when I open them individually, they are unedited unless I click on the "EDIT" button....THEN, they show up edited! They are also unedited when I post them on Facebook or if I save them to my desktop or when I actually have one printed! THAT tells me that for some reason, iPhoto is not automatically saving my editing like it says it does! And....I HATE the fact that there is no "SAVE" or "SAVE CHANGES" button!!! Not all of them, but the ones that I recently took in jpeg format and not raw. Bummed! Please help! Thank you! When I first got my camera, I didn't know about the "RAW" setting so I was using JPEG back then and it worked. Why all of a sudden is it not???....FRUSTRATED.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Backing up photos by album to external hard drive

I have just spent days organizing my photos into albums and folders on my internal hard drive. I would like to move this organized information to an external hard drive. When I drag the library over to the external hard drive, will the photos remain organized in the same albums and photos? If not, how do I get the albums/folders over separately?

Yes. You can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy Events or Albums from Library 1 to Library 2 and preserve the titles, keywords. descriptions, modified files, etc.
If you want to backup slideshows, calendars, books then you'll want to use a backup application like Synk Standard to backup all changes from Library 1 to Library 2. That will preserve your library exactly.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
