Export from iPhoto with limited ppi.

I need to submit a photo that is 1000 ppi in its longest dimension. When exporting from iPhoto, you can select small, medium, large and original. Or go the custom route, in which case the dimension is listed as "px." How do I convert to ppi? Thank  you.

you can not - PPI is Pixels per inch - digital photos have no inches so you can not have PPI
in the export dialogue you can select the number of pixels for the largest dimension - see the user tip on exporting for export options

    The date they were taken us in the EXIF data and is included in the export
    However it is trivial to modify it so I doubt that it would hold water in court

  • Export from iPhoto while keeping original photo information?? NEED HELP!!!

    I'm trying to set up a pc for my grandmother so I can take over her old computer (macbook air). However she has 11000 photos on iPhoto and I need to move then all onto a storage device (about 30GB) but when I export them the computer doesn't copy all the information such as the date the photo was taken etc. Talking to a guy in the apple store he said i couldn't do it, but he was being pretty unhelpful so I was wondering if anyone here could give me an answer. How do you export from iPhoto while keeping all the information?

    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    As to dates specifically:
    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
    However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • Unable to export from iPhoto

    I have tried to export individual photos and an album as a file(s) to my desktop and to smugmug via the iPhoto plugin without success. I have also put a new folder in Pictures and have tried to export the photos to it without success.
    When exporting to desktop, the message comes up "Exporting...Unable to create /users/name/desktop."
    When using the smugmug plugin, iPhoto "unexpectedly" shuts down!
    I have tried to drag and drop photos from iPhoto without success of course.
    I will appreciate your help and suggestions. This is the first time that I've had problems exporting from iPhoto.
    Vernon

    Well the reason you can’t export is because iPhoto can’t find the pictures.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Exporting from iPhoto - 8 x 10 prints - image inconsistencies

    My other half and I are relatively new to digital photography - but we're in something of a bind.
    We looking for several dozen 8 x 10 prints (for an exhibition) from images stored in our iPhoto library. We'll be supplying them on disc to a photography bureau for printing. We did some sample 8 x 10s on our own printer, and were dismayed by how the image resolution varies from image to image; some look more pixellated than others. I'm wondering whether this is because of something we've done in iPhoto, since (as I understand it) JPEG resolution diminishes if photos are edited in any way. To my knowledge, we haven't edited the images; they've just sat in the library - although we've copied and exported many of them.
    It's making me wonder whether iPhoto is the most suitable application for this kind of work, since it holds everything in the space-friendly JPEG format rather than their original chunky size.
    I'd be really grateful for answers to any or all of the following:
    1. What activities in iPhoto might have caused the quality of our original JPEGs to have deteriorated, and is there any way of checking this? And can the photos in question be "retouched" in any way? I have access to Photoshop 7, if that's of any help.
    2. What format would be the best for exporting the images for the photography bureau (TIFF, presumably?) and are there any tricks or traps to be aware of? I've exported from iPhoto dozens of times, but never in such quantity.
    3. In the future, if we want to make larger prints from our digital images, should we be looking to download in RAW format rather than JPEG (the only two formats our camera, a Canon EOS10D, seems to support) - and use an application other than iPhoto? Or would upgrading to iPhoto 6 help us in any way.
    Many thanks.

    Hi, David.
    1. What activities in iPhoto might have caused the quality of our original JPEGs to have deteriorated, and is there any way of checking this? And can the photos in question be "retouched" in any way? I have access to Photoshop 7, if that's of any help.
    Cropping, perhaps more than anything else, because it reduces the actual number of pixels in the image. Any sort of editing or manipulation followed by saving, when the file is in JPEG format. Every time you save any new change to a JPEG image, the image is re-compressed and further degraded.
    If you have your camera save your images as JPEGs, re-save them as uncompressed TIFFS or PSDs as soon as you get them onto your Mac. Do all your editing and manipulating in TIFF, PSD, or some other uncompressed format. You will still have the original JPEG compression artifacts in them, but at least you won't be adding a new layer of artifacts and blurring with every change you save. For best results, shoot all your important images in RAW format instead of JPEG, so they are never compressed at all.
    2. What format would be the best for exporting the images for the photography bureau...?
    Ask the bureau what format they recommend or prefer. If they can handle .psd files, that format would maximize your own control.
    If you have Photoshop 7, there may be no good reason for you to use iPhoto at all.

  • Exporting from iPhoto 09 to Windows 7

    I wish to transfer some photos from my MacBook Pro to my daughter. She uses a Windows 7 PC and she shares our network at home.
    I have exported a few photos which have captions and Keywords.
    When she views the photos using Windows Live Photo Gallery she can see the photos and the captions but not the keywords.
    When exporting from iPhoto I have used File>Export, have chosen JPEG, Maximum Size and have ticked the box to include Title and Keywords.
    My questionsa are:
    1) Why are the Keywords not showing in Windows Live Gallery? They are not shown in 'People Tag' or Descriptive Tag' (I have exported them to a folder on my Mac and can see the Keywords when I check Properties.) And is there anything I can do to make them viewable in Windows Live Gallery?
    2) When I view Properties on my daughter's PC it shows under 'Origin' Quick Time 7.7.1 along with the date and time the photos were taken. Why would it show 'Quick Time'?
    Many thanks,
    Peter

    The reason is that whatever software your daughter is using is not supporting Exif and IPTC standards. Get your daughter to use an app that does.
    The QuickTime part is a never-no-mind. It just means that there were exported on a Mac. QuickTime is multi-media substructure on the Mac.

  • Exporting from iPhoto 11 to External Hard Drive

    I am trying to export some of my pictures in iPhoto to me external hard drive.  I am able to do it, but when I open the pictures that have been exported, they have lost their info, for example the date the picture was taken.  What appears in the info is the date that I exported them.  Is there a way to export but retain the date?

    You need to check both the Include boxes.
    No, you do need an application that's aware of Exif - and that includes simple photo viewers. It does not include the Finder.
    In more detail:
    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider  jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.

  • How to Export from iPhoto in time-taken order.

    In the archived discussion "http://discussions.apple.com/message/11510994#11510994" entitled "Exporting from iPhoto Library to hard disk for archiving", LarryHN said to "...use the export option to name files sequentially...".  If you're wondering what option that is, I believe it is File -> Export... -> File Export -> Use album name.  That causes your iPhoto Library to be output in the order you see them within iPhoto because iPhoto creates the files with sequentially numbered file names prefixed by the album name, such as "Library - 01.jpg", etc.  Thanks Larry

    It's not marked as a question, it was my mistake... I responded to the How to... as a question and not as an instruction...

  • Export from iPhoto 4 yeilds JPG's with Quicktime icon?

    Hi,
    I am using iPhoto 4.0.3
    I am exporting some old photos from iPhoto,
    I choose File>Export...
    Full size images / Use Title / Use Extension
    Format : JPG
    After the export if I locate the files in the finder window,
    all the files have .jpg extension.
    Some files have a mini version of the photo as their icon.
    Other files have the preview logo with JPEG underneath as their icon.
    Some others have the quicktime logo with JPEG underneath as their icon.
    When I double click on those with the quicktime logo, Classic tries to start up!
    What's going on?
    How can I get the photos to export correctly without the Quicktime logo?
    Also,
    I'd like all the photos exported to have a mini version of the photo as their icon. How do I get the ones with the preview logo to convert to ones with the mini photo icon?
    Also 2,
    Some of photos open with preview and others open with Graphic converter.
    How do I select Preview as the default program for opening all JPG files?
    Many Thanks

    Does anyone know why some of the jpg's have the preview icon
    and others have a mini-photo icon?
    Hi, Callie. This probably reflects different original source(s) for the batches of pictures that have different icons. The original sources may have defined the files according to their own defaults, as "belonging" to QT PictureViewer, Preview, or any other application capable of displaying them. Once a file is on your computer, as you've discovered, you can change the application with which it's associated to a different application of your choosing. But the application assigned by your camera, a friend's camera, or a web site before you import them onto your computer isn't under your control. Only after you have the file on your computer can you change that preassigned association.
    If you open the Get Info window for any .jpg file, change its "Open with" application to the one you prefer, and then click the "Change All" button below it, all JPEG files that are on your computer will afterward open into that application when double-clicked, and will be displayed with an icon representing that application (unless they are given picture-preview icons). I'm not sure if that will be true of all .jpg files that you load onto your computer afterward, or whether those will retain the associated application and icon assigned by their source until you change it. You can experiment with that and see.

  • Export from iPhoto 08 with sequential filenames retaining iPhoto order?

    Is there some way to export photos from iPhoto 08 with filenames that will be seen by the Finder (or a PC) as having the same order as the photos in iPhoto? I used the Sequential Filenames option in the Export pane to export a 1790 image album, but the sequence numbers were assigned as 1,2, 3, .... , 1790. That is ordered in the Finder, or on a PC, as 1, 10, 100, 1000, 1001, etc., and when my son displayed them using his Play Station 3, that is the order in which they came up. If the sequence numbers were assigned as 0001, 0002, 0003, ... , 1790, I would expect the files to retain the desired order, but I can't find a way to accomplish this.

    Is there some way to export photos from iPhoto 08 with filenames that will be seen by the Finder (or a PC) as having the same order as the photos in iPhoto
    Yes there is. Put the photos in an album, sort them as desired, go to the Photos->Batch Change->Title to Text with the checkbox ticked to add a sequential number.
    Next, export those sequentially retitled photos using the File->Export->File Export menu option with the format set to JPG and theFile Name set to Title. This will give you what you want.
    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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I am trying to export a slide show from iPhoto with music from iTunes. it will not export the music file because i have not enabled iTunes plus. how do i do this?

    i am trying to export a slideshow from iphoto using a song from itunes. an error message comes up and say it will not export the song because itunes plus has not been enabled. how do i do that?

    It sounds like you tune is an .m4p file - p=protected and has DRM.
    Previously you could get the + version which was a .m4a file with no protection/DRM.
    The + option has been replaced with iTunes Match - $24.99 a year.
    A better option if you have a .m4p file would be to repurchase the .m4a version from the iTS unless you want to update your entire library with iTunes match.

  • Can't export from iphoto '11 to facebook with facebook exporter

    Help!
    I've been trying to export photos from iPhoto '11 (Version 9.2.1) without success.  I am running OS X (10.6.8).  This is the error message I keep seeing, no matter which way I attempt to make a connection (through the 'Accounts' window in Preferences, or through the 'Share' tab when I select a photo to export).
    Here are the following steps I have taken, without any success:
    Changed my Facebook password.
    Logged out of Facebook.
    Downloaded and installed the 'Facebook Exporter for iPhoto' plugin from Facebook; alhtough this is suspect, since here's the most recent comment from Facebook on this plugin:
    The home for the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto - athttp://developers.facebook.com /iphoto/ - is temporarily down, as we build out a new version of it. In the meantime, you can download the application from this profile page, using the button at the left. Happy photo sharing!

  • File size increases when I export from iphoto

    I was hoping someone could help me.  When I export an event from iphoto it increases in size and is now too big for my dvd.  In iphoto, the size is 5.9 GB, but then when I export (settings as follows:  JPEG - Max. - Full Size ) the file is too big to burn on my DVD-RDL (8.5GB)
    It goes from 5.9 to 10.48 GB.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    I'm Serious about Back Ups. And you should be too.
    My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to  two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
    It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
    I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
    My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
    Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore.

  • Unable to export from iPhoto '09

    When I try to export photos from iPhoto 09 I am getting an "unable to create" error message. What is going on?

    Has it occurred to you that the reason you're having issues with iPhoto is because you're using Picasa on the same Library? You know it's not designed for that use and Picasa hacks the Library - something not supported - to try and use it.
    This time: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File' - not Show Original... A Finder Window +should+ open with the file selected. Does it?
