Export edited photos...

my photos that I've edited/enhanced in iphoto look absolutely great on my MBP
I want to share these photos via Picasa Web... so I normally export to a folder on my desktop, then upload....
All of that works fine, but none of my editing / enhancement is evident in the export and attempt to share -
Very disappointing....how can I get this to work to show the final result to those I want to share with??
thanks

so........you're saying that the exporting of edited photos should hold their editing and upload as such......correct?
and what happens with this "rebuilt" library...... will everything appear the same in iPhoto'11 after that's done?
thanks.

Iphoto 09 not properly exporting edited photos

When I use the "adjust" function in the edit screen the changes I make are neither applied in the enlarged version of the photo in Iphoto nor when I try to export the photo to the desktop. Other changes I make in edit, such as using the "effect" function, do save however. What can I do to save the changes made using "adjust" to have them apply to the exported photo?

What version of iPhoto?
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: 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.

Export edited photos from iPad

I have edited photos on my iPad with the Photo app included with iOS. How can I export those edited photos to iPhoto (or Aperture)? I only seem able to export the originals.

On windows you need to use adobe lightroom or adobe photoshop elements. Look at this URL http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4253

Hi, I'm trying to exported edited photos to an external hard drive... when i try to add the hard drive through lightroom it says selected device is not writable.... well i manage to write on it with everything else in the world! please help.

I can export the photos to the desk top but when i then select the folder and drag to drop on the hard drive it does not give me the option. If i go to copy folders out of the hard drive to the desktop i can do so no problem (its not a problem with the hard drive to my knowledge).
Please help its driving me away from both lightroom which i really like and from Macs in general!!!!

I found that it was due to the format of the drive, NTFS not being compatible with Mac. I am not converting the drive to a FAT format.

Can I send Edited Photos and Video from Lightroom 5 to Premiere 11?

I am new to Lightroom 5 and love the product. Can I export edited Photos and Video from Lightroom to Premiere Elements 11? I need more flexibility than Lightroom offfers. I want to mix Photos then Videos with different music files and create a DVD. Thank You...Rory...

Also, can I load the Lightroom itself onto an external hard drive and keep all my images off my laptop? If I edit them, do the edits remain on my laptop regardless of where the originals reside. I think that's the issue that I'm running into with Aperture: edits stay on my laptop even though originals are on an external HD.
Your photos can be on any hard disk, internal or external or network. If they are stored on an external hard disk, then when you import them into Lightroom, you select the ADD option and the photo will remain on your external hard disk. The edits are stored in your Lightroom catalog (as opposed to "remain on my laptop"). Once you import photos into Lightroom, you no longer want to manage them (move, copy, delete) using your operating system. You do all photo management in Lightroom.
If you transfer the photos properly, your edits, cropping, metadata, etc. will transfer to Lightroom, but I will leave the details to some expert on Aperture.
If I could offer some advice, I don't think you want to just transfer SOME of your photos to Lightroom. In my opinion, you want ALL of your photos managed by Lightroom, and not some in application 1 and some in application 2. This makes your life much easier when trying to find your photos, you don't have to think "Is this photo in Lightroom or is this in Aperture?" (Note: this doesn't mean you have to import all the photos from Aperture into Lightroom in one HUGE operation; you can certainly do the importing in manageable sized groups)

How do I save an edited photo to a usb New to LR I have exported some to desktop but I keep getting the whole catalogue there as well

Exporting will create a new file for every Image you have selected. It will not overwrite any files.
Your workflow counters much of the engineering and design that went into Aperture. Here is a very short guide to getting started with Aperture.
Fwiw, the Aperture Library is a file system. The Library is a Finder package. You can see the contents of the package by right-clicking the Library (in Finder) and selecting "Show package contents". Additionally, for advanced users, Aperture includes features for manually managing the files you import into the Library (they can be located on any drive directly connected to your machine).

How to export all edited photos in a project

Once I finish editing photos in a project I often wish to export all of those photos, in their fnal edited form, to a folder which I then burn to a CD and give to someone. I have been using File-Export-Versions thinking that this would do the trick. However, it seems that this process exports the photo without all of my nifty editing. I've looke at the manual, but must be too dense to find the answer. Thanks for any help you can give.

What you are doing should work.
Here is a recipe -- try it and report back.
Select the Project.
Clear all filters.
Filter using the Rule "Adjustments" with the setting "are applied".
Add other Rules as desired (e.g.: Rating is 4★ or better).
Select all Images.
"File→Export→Version", and choose an Export Preset that meets your needs.
Masters are the un-changed (and never changed by Aperture) original files that you imported. Versions are Images that you have made by changing these in some way. Exporting a Version should always include any Adjustments present in the Version.

Why I do loose some editing when I export a photo or try to send it by email?

Why do I loose some of my iphoto editing when I export the photo or send it out to Facebook or email?

No information given so we can only guess
You are doing it incorrectly - to properly export select the photo(s) an use the file menu ==> export to a deaktop folder -- to e-mail either set up the desired e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and share via e-mail, export as above, use Apple Mail and use the media browser or in teh e-mail attach window lok in the lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto and select teh photo

I just bought lightroom 5. I had lightroom 3. Now when I export my photos from lightroom 5 and upload them into my photoshop elements program to edit the photo files are at 100% zoom percentage. When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.

Exporting edited ('current') photos at maximum quality?

I currently use iPhoto 9.5.1 (on OSX 10.9.1) to organize my photos and I use an external editor (Photoshop) to edit them.
When I get an image that I want to then use for something I take it out from the iPhoto library. Previously I did this with a simple drag and drop, but that functionality mysteriously and suddenly ceased. Now I use export current. (I don't want the orignal verison that has none of the photoshop work)
From what I understand, exporting the current photo exports the version from the preview folder.
Is this a full quality version that is exactly what I created in photoshop and saved? Compared to the file in the masters folder would it be the same quality?
In other words is there any loss in quality along this path and if so where does it occur (or is this not the path)?
Camera-> masters folder-> iphoto library -> external editor -> previews folder -> iphoto library -> export of current
I don't care so much about metadata and primarily care about the quality of the exported edited image. I use them for other purposes where metadata is irrelevant (like parts of a design or printing).

Thank you,
The question I have is in that tip you specifically mention that selecting 'current' as kind of export would export "the iPhoto Preview, a medium quality jpeg, it won't have all the metadata."
I did some tests with a tiff, png and jpeg file and found that this was not the case. The tif exported a tif, the png export a png and the jpeg export something closer to the original jpeg size (not anywhere near medium quality). Here are the results of the jpeg test:
The one discrepancy I notice is that there is a 200 byte difference between the version saved from the external editor and the version exported as current. That is minor, but I'm wondering where that may come from. Is it a result of saving the file with photoshop or is it something iPhoto does to the file?
The discrepancy seems to be greater (up to 29kb) with the png test:
And I think the discrepacny is likely from what the external editor does in saving the file and not what iPhoto does. Here are the results from my tiff test:
The inclusion of the color profile in the save from the external editor brings it closer to the size of modifed version.
So I find my concern that exporting 'current' would severely reduce the quality by always making a "medium quality jpeg" is not the case, and that it does export something very similar to the work I did in the external editor.
(I like using iPhoto for how it organizes with metadata. I just don't need the metadata for files/images that I export from iPhoto. They move on to a different purpose where such data is irrelevant. Also I'm curious if iPhoto is not meant to be used for organizing media what is it's primary purpose?)

IPhoto 9.5.1 will not export edited versions of my photos.

I cannot export edited versions of my photos (specifically cropped photos) in iPhoto 9.5.1 using Mavericks. This is driving me nuts. I've tried duplicating the photos, saving them in different formats . . . no dice. This is very annoying. Without photo editing, iPhoto is pretty useless.

You can use 3rd party editors from within iPhoto. Here are some of those:
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Xee 2.1 - free
I would suggest you try one of the free ones and make sure that iiPhoto will export the edited version before you purchase an editor. The following is for Photoshop Elements but would be applicable to most of the editors listed above, particularly the part about keeping the file extension as jpeg and not one created by the editor.
Using Photoshop Elements or Photoshop as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Cant edit photos after exporting

Hello all. Relatively new to Lightroom here so Im not sure if this is a dumb question or not.
I imported about 220 photos and worked on just about 20 to 25 of them. I then selected those 25 from my collection and exported them to a folder on my PC so I could then import them into Picasa.
After doing that, I returned to Lightroom to edit more from that collection but could no longer do so. I couldnt make any changes to the ones I previously worked on, but more importantly, I couldnt make any changes to any of the ones I hadnt even touched yet. When you export photos from a folder, does Lightroom automatically prohibit you from changing anything else? It seems the only way I can bypass this problem is just to delete the folder and re-import the photos from my camera again, creating a new folder.
Am I missing something? How can I go back and edit photos after exporting? Can it be done?
Thanks!

Hi Judy
On the bottom left of the left tool bar there are two buttons. Import and Export. I exported my photos using the Export button. When you do that, the screen that comes up prompts you to set up an export location on your C drive. So I exported the photos to a folder I set up.
I did not set up a catalogue or export any catalogue.
I seriously doubt that Picasa had any effect on the folders in Lightroom. The two software application are totally separate. You dont directly transfer photos from LR to Picasa. You need to export from LR first to a location on your PC then Import from that file on your PC into LR. So I dont see how Picasa could effect the photos that are in LR.

How can export on CD or DVD only edited photo in iPhoto

How can I export on disk (CD or DVD) only edited photos in iPhoto11? When I going to Share-Burn, all masters, edited, thumbnails etc. was exported what makes big mess if I going to print some of them.

The Share ==> burn command makes a mini iphoto library for use by iPhoto which includes multiple versions for the photos - for other uses export the photos to a desktop folder and burn that folder to CD/DVD

Export multiple photos that have already been edited?

I did a bunch of editing on a large group of photos but did not export them from RAW to jpegs. Is there a way to do this without doing them one by one, like a batch export?
I'm using LR4.
Thanks.

Thanks! I have a follow up question...
Here's what led to my question:
I was using a trial version of LR4 and edited a wedding I shot. Somehow, I clicked on "resize" in the export panal and when I exported each photo, they were reduced to a smaller size. The problem is, my trial ran out before I realized what was happening. I have LR2, is there a way to import the photos with the edits I made into the LR2? Or will I need to buy LR4 to re-export my work?

Should all edited photos be exported for safety?

Since all edits are contained inside the LR catalog, and not within the original file, what would happen if you wanted to switch post processing software to (for example) Aperture? I assume Aperture can't read a LR catalog, so all your edits would be lost? For this reason, is it prudent to export every edited photo?

Indeed it's as you feared, and using DNG doesn't change that.
But it's not as bad as it may seem at first, since once edited and exported you have all edits incorporated (i.e. no need to re-edit originals if already edited satisfactorily), so the issue only comes up if you want to re-edit an already-edited photo and change things like baseline detail settings or color profile.. (things that require the original/raw), in which case you'll have to start from scratch in new software, but you'll have the baked photo as a guide if you want it to be about the same as last time.. If you just want to add a little exposure or contrast, or remove a spec or something, that can be done to the rgb version of the file. I realize change management can become an issue (which is the real photo, and are there edits to rgb file which should be migrated to original when edited..), still...
