Export photos and how to keep the event stucture?

Hi,
I have been searching the iPhoto section but didn't found the answer.
Who can help me?
My photos are organized in events (I decided not to use albums anymore).
I now want to export all photos and use the event name as folder name.
The event export feature exports all photos but the event separation is gone.
Example:
"Event 1" contains 10 photos Pic_1 - Pic_10
"Event 2" contains 20 photos Pic_1 - Pic_20 (yep there are duplicate filenames)
This is what I want to see after the export (30 pictures in 2 folders):
\Event 1\Pic_1
\Event 1\Pic_10
\Event 2\Pic_1
\Event 2\Pic_20
How to do this?

Hi Terence,
Thanx for your response.
Do you mean that I have to create a target folder per event and do the export per event?
I am sure this will work but I want to avoid this as creating 200+ event folders manually is too time-consuming (anyone with a clever AppleScript to do this job).
Decided to do a quick-and-dirty backup by opening the photo library package contents and copy everything in it to a network drive.
But I am still interested in an easy way to create event directories including the current pictures.

Window resizing and how to keep the window at that size.

Having trouble with the applications window not staying the same size after I resize it. I know that dragging the corner will resize as well as the green button, but after I close it, it reverts back the small window and not to the resized window after I have done the above. Went to an apple store and no one there knew how to fix it or maybe I didn't explain myself very well.

I assume you're opening the Applications folder in a separate window through an alias or a Dock icon... if so, just open it, move and resize it the way you want, then immediately close it again. That should do the trick.

How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

Do you want to transfer the entire library? If so just connect the two Macs together and copy the iPhoto Library from Mac A to Mac B and put it in your Pictures folder. Be sure to rename it if you already have a library in the destination folder so as not to overwrite.
Under no circumstances should you import a library into another library.

How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event. Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want. However, here's how I do it.
Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

I am trying to export photos and keep receiving an error message. I tried relocating my catalog to see if that would help since I am saving to an external drive, but now I can't find my catalog at all either.

I am trying to export photos and keep receiving an error message. I tried relocating my catalog to see if that would help since I am saving to an external drive, but now I can't find my catalog at all either. I am a newbie at this and don't know what I'm doing wrong or if I can even use an external drive for my photos and catalogs (I did enable smart previews so I do know how to do that part). Help!

You can use an external drive with LR but I recommend only using it for
image file storage while keeping your catalog on your internal HD for
performance. If you moved files outside of LR (Finder or Explorer) you will
have to clue LR in on where they are now. Use the left-hand folder panel in
Library mode to navigate to the location on your external drive and use the
find photo option get LR to reconnect them. If you moved the catalog and
now LR can't find it you should get a window allowing you to select a new
one where you can navigate to the new location and select it. You can also
just start LR by clicking on the Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat file to open it
and start LR.

Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

I have been using the apple IPad camera connection kit and my photos can be viewed in the events... But the all imported folder is no longer there and the last import folder is empty. Is there any way to resolve this ang get my all imported folder back?

How to Export photos and videos from Mac to iPhone?

Hi everyone,
I was trying to export a video from my Macbook Pro (Mid 2014) running latest version of OS X to my iPhone 5 (running iOS 8). I have tried everything in iTunes and iPhotos to be able to export Photos and videos to 'Photos' icon in my iPhone, but haven't got success so far. It's easy to do in a windows computer just copy and paste but I don't know how to do it in a Mac...
Could anyone here help me with that??
Thanks

running latest version of OS X
Is that MacOS X 10.9.5, or have you upgraded to a Beta version?
I have tried everything in iTunes and iPhotos to be able to export Photos and videos to 'Photos' icon in my iPhone, but haven't got success so far.
What are your settings on your iPhone for iCloud? Have you enabled iCloud Drive and iCloud Photo Library?
Then you are out of luck. With these settings, syncing of photos with your iPhone is disabled, so you can no longer sync with iTunes.
And the Photo Stream is behaving buggy and will not sync from your Mac to the iPhone.
Try, if disabling these settings and restarting the iPhone will help.
Otherwise, mail the photos or put them into Dropbox, until you can upgrade to Yosemite and iCloud Photo Library on your Mac.

How to make a photo black & White while keeping the photo subject in colour?

I am new to PS but not photography
I would like to know how i can make my scene in my photo black and white, while keeping the suject in the photo colour.
any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Baba,
Below are some step-by-step instructions that show you how to acheive this effect very easily with the Quick Selection Tool and a Black & White Adjustment Layer.
1. Open up your image in Photoshop. In the toolbar, click on the Quick Selection Tool and select your subject.
2. Go to Select > Refine Edge and use the dialog box to clean up your selection - I've enabled the Smart Radius option and increased the selection radius. When you're done, click OK.
3. Go to Select > Inverse.
4. Locate the Adjustments panel - by default, it should be located above the Layers panel (in CS6), but if you can't find it, go to Window > Adjustments. Click on the Black & White adjustment icon, as shown below. Your subject will stay in color, but the setting should turn black and white, as you can see below.
For more on using Adjustment Layers, below is a quick video that goes over the basics:
If you have further questions, feel free to post a reply!
Cheers,

HT4906 How do export photos from an iMac to the cloud to access them on an iPad?

How do export photos from an iMac to the cloud to access them on an iPad?

You can do it by manually adding those photos to My Photo Stream and let the iPad access them and copy to the iPad's Camera Roll for permanent residence on the iPad. The photos will be viewable in the Ps for 30 days.
Or create a Shared Photo Stream which will leave the photos up indefinitely and access the Shared Photo Stream (private or public) with the iPad.
Of course both devices must be signed in to the same iCloud account and have Photo Stream enabled.
the My Photo Stream is not a permanent situation wereas Shared Photo Streams are.

Recommended way for binding the list event handler to the list instance is through feature receivers.
You need to create a feature file like the below sample
<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?>
<Feature xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"
Id="{20FF80BB-83D9-41bc-8FFA-E589067AF783}"
Title="Installs MyFeatureReceiver"
Description="Installs MyFeatureReceiver" Hidden="False" Version="1.0.0.0" Scope="Site"
ReceiverClass="ClassLibrary1.MyFeatureReceiver"
ReceiverAssembly="ClassLibrary1, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=6c5894e55cb0f391">
</Feature>For registering/binding the list event handler to the list instance, use the below sample codeusing System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace ClassLibrary1
    public class MyFeatureReceiver: SPFeatureReceiver
        public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
            SPSite siteCollection = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
            SPWeb site = siteCollection.AllWebs["Docs"];
            SPList list = site.Lists["MyList"];
            SPEventReceiverDefinition rd = list.EventReceivers.Add();
            rd.Name = "My Event Receiver";
            rd.Class = "ClassLibrary1.MyListEventReceiver1";
            rd.Assembly = "ClassLibrary1, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
                PublicKeyToken=6c5894e55cb0f391";
            rd.Data = "My Event Receiver data";
            rd.Type = SPEventReceiverType.FieldAdding;
            rd.Update();
        public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
            SPSite sitecollection = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
            SPWeb site = sitecollection.AllWebs["Docs"];
            SPList list = site.Lists["MyList"];
            foreach (SPEventReceiverDefinition rd in list.EventReceivers)
                if (rd.Name == "My Event Receiver")
                    rd.Delete();
        public override void FeatureInstalled(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
        public override void FeatureUninstalling(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
}Reference link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff713710(v=office.12).aspxOther ways of registering the list event handlers to the List instance are through code, stsadm commands and content types.

Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
I completely agree.
