Export in iphoto

Photos won't export to photo to burn DVD for windows & printing

yes they will!
Given that there are no mind readers here providing a bit more information would greatly improve the chances of a meaningful response
Basically you select the photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder and then burn that folder to CD/DVD

Are you running Snow Leopard or Lion? Your info says Snow Leopard. If it's lion then:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Then you can locate the folders mentioned.

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.

How do I save a photo exported from iPhoto and edited in Photoshop Elements 6 back to iPhoto?

My photos are downloaded to my iMac iPhoto 09. I am able to export directly to Photoshop Elements '06 to edit but when I try to export the edited photo back to iPhoto it goes to Pictures, not to iPhoto where I want it to go. Any suggestions?

Did you really export it or did you set PSE as your external editor? If you used file>export in iphoto, then you must import the edited photo back to iphoto as a new file.
To avoid that you can set PSE as your external editor in the iphoto preferences, and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, but you must not change the name or format of the image when saving. If you see the save as window it won't work. You may need to go to the PSE preferences>saving files and set On First Save to save over existing to avoid seeing the save as window. It will not work with raw files.

Export in iPhoto offers a "Custom" setting for size. The default is 1000. 1000 what? Pixels, centimeters, MB's?

Export in iPhoto offers a "Custom" setting for size.
1000 is the default, but I don't know what 1000 refers to.
Pixels, centimeters, MB's?
I want to make the photo an 1 inch x 1 inch.
Do I go up or down from the 1000?
Thanks

Pixels.
For a 1" x 1" photo first crop the photo square. Then export with Kind = Current with JPEF Quality = Maximum and Size = Full size.
Then when you go to print the photo select a 1" x 1" print size. This will squeeze all available pixels in each dimension into the 1" dimension giving you the highest DPI resolution available from your image file.
More about DPI can be found here: All About Digital Photos - The Arithmetic of DPI and All About Digital Photos - The Myth of DPI

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.

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.

I can export many iphoto events to a Data stick. I want to do the same with a DVD. When I do the DVD window is blank. If I drag and drop can only do one. Help

I can "export", using file, many iphoto events to a data disk. When I do the same to a DVD the DVD window is blank and nothing has been exported. When I use drag and drop to a DVD it works but I can only get one event on the disk. How do I export many iphoto events to a DVD. I am using a write only DVD. I am using a Mac Book Pro OS 10. Thanks in advance.
Gord

When I click on the data stick icon on my desk top a window comes up. It lists the various events that I have exported. If i click on an event each picture shows up in a list. I can click on the picture and view a jpeg photo or view a avi video. When I export I select "original" as the file type. When I export to a DVD and klick on the the DVD icon the window shows up but it is blank.

How do I remove the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto?

Hello,
I have recently installed v1.0.8 of Facebook Exporter for iPhoto, and it hangs on the first picture I attempt to upload. It is unusable. I had found the previous version 1.0.6 which worked great and downloaded that, and subsequently attempted to install it. However, the installer errors out stating that there is already a previous version installed. The v1.0.6 and v1.0.8 installers, do not have an uninstall feature either. Direct support for this package is impossible from the developer.
I'm asking if anyone could lay out exactly what I need to remove in order that I can proceed with downgrading to the v1.0.6 once again. I have asked in other forums(not here) and have had only "upgrade all your software to the latest versions and everything should work" answers, which were and are completely useless. If an upgrade is required of something, please be specific as to why.
Note that, I have already performed this function as outlined here, http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=222897111055523, which simply describes deleting a folder in their install directory. This has not worked, meaning the removal has worked, however reinstalling the previous version envokes the error about a later version.
Versions involved;
MacBook Pro, 2.53ghz, core 2 duo
MacOS v10.6.8
iPhoto '09, v8.1..2 (424)
Thanks,
Mark

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

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning? Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.

File name and Title are not the same thing.
Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

How do I export an iPhoto slideshow from my iMac to my iBook?

How do I export an iPhoto slideshow from my iMac to my iBook?

For the slideshow in the form of an Quicktime movie just export the slideshow via the export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window
and select the size to be created
If you want to have the slideshow in your iBook's iPhoto Library as it is in your iMac's library you'll need to copy the entire library from your iMac to your iBook.
A 3rd option is to export the photos used in the slideshow to a folder on the Desktop, copy that folder to the iBook, import into the iBooks library and recreate the slideshow.

Exporting an iPhoto library

Hi
A friend of mine has created an album in iPhoto and added titles and comments. She doesn't have iDVD and wants me to create a DVD with slideshows
showing the title and comments on each photo.
How can she export the album and send it to me retaining all the comment information?
I can remember seeing an option like 'export as iPhoto library' which I think would do the trick but I can't find it now that I need it.
I'm using the latest version of iPhoto/OS X etc.
Cheers
Alice

You can burn a CD within iPhoto that retains all comments and titles. Check iPhoto Help on your computer and the instructions are there. Have your friend burn a CD and it will show up in the Source column on the left of iPhoto when you insert it in your computer.

Export to iPhoto with Metadata

I am using LR 1.4 on an iMAC with OSX 10.5 and exporting to iPhoto which streams to my Apple TV and displays the photos nicely on our Plasma in our Family Room. I have entered information such as where the shot was taken etc. in the Caption area in LR. Is anyone aware how I can include that info in the export to iPhoto embedding it inside the photo. My goal is to be able to view the photos with a small area showing these captions.

You mean rendered on top of the image? That info is already embedded inside the image as metadata. To render metadata on top of your image, you can use the slideshow module, add a text overlay with your custom metadata and export to jpegs. You can do similar things inside the Print module but you cannot control the placement of the text.

Export from iPhoto to folder, then copy to CF card, not enough space error.

Here is an interesting problem, I'm trying to get 126 photos from iPhoto to a 64MB compact flash card.
I used the export in iPhoto and scaled to 800/1200 and saved them to folder on my desktop. When I get info on folder, it says size of files is 42.2MB. I drag the 126 photos from that folder to the Compact Flash card I have mounted using a SanDisk card reader. When it gets to the 85 photo, it says "unable to copy, insufficient disc space" and doesn't copy any of the pics to the CF card. If I copy the first 84 pics to the CF card, then they will copy to the card and then when I get info on the card it states 31 MB available and 30 MB used. When I try to copy any of the remaining photos, it states not enough space. What gives?
The very interesting thing is if I export the same photos and scale to 400/600, the get info on the folder states the size of the files is now 15.4MB. But when I try to copy to the CF card, still only 84 will go on the card.
Finally, I changed the name from "use album name" to "use title" and exported scaled 800/1200 and was able to get 114 of the 126 pics on the card, but it still says free space remaining. I can't figure this out!
(I need to transfer the photo's to the compact flash card because my wife got one of those digital picture fames for her Birthday, but the thing is not compatible with Mac! So have to transfer pics to card, then plug the card in the frame and it will show the pictures. Unable to hood up the frame to the Mac using USB. It does not recognize the frame.)
Anyone want to take a crack and solving this issue?
Thanks for your response in advance.

HI ksduckfan,
I am not sure if this is your problem, but you must drag the photos into a certain folder in the compact flash card. When you take photos and then mount the card (with the reader) did you notice what folder in the card had the photos in it. To find out, double click the mounted card on the desktop and look inside to find the folder with the photos. This is the folder you must copy the photos back into when you do the transfer.
There is a third party application that will make the process easier for you.

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.

How do I export an iPhoto album as a pdf?

How do I export an iPhoto album as a pdf? When I am in the album and go to file --> export, I get each image from the album saved as a separate file. I want to save them all in one file.

Select all of those photos in iPhoto and start a print process. Select the print size as desired, 8 x 10 or letter size, select the paper size accordingly, and then use the PDF button to select Save as PDF.
That will give you a multipage PDF file with one photo on each page.
