EXPORT PHOTOS IN SEQUENCE.

Let's say I have a iPhoto folder with 200 pictures in it. I want to copy it somewhere--let's say on a Flash Drive. I have taken great care to have these pictures arranged and titled. They are arranged in exactly the order that I would want them to be shown in Slideshow for example.
What happens when the pictures appear on the Flash Drive? The order I have placed them in has been lost. They are now in alphabetical sequence. Totally useless.
In the EXPORT PHOTOS menu, under FILE NAME there is a place to click SEQUENTIAL. Aha! That's what you have to do: click SEQUENTIAL. Fine, except now all the File Names that I've assigned to all the pictures disappear. So, the pictures are in proper sequence but the File Names which I would like to display have gone.
Isn't there some way to have the photos exported in the correct sequence AND AT THE SAME TIME have the File Names appear???
Incidentally, for some reason everything I've written about here seems to apply only to fairly large folders. If I try to export a folder with just six pictures, the proper sequence is maintained and the proper File Names appear.

sn't there some way to have the photos exported in the correct sequence AND AT THE SAME TIME have the File Names appear???
No. The Finder uses either the file date created or modified or the file name to sort files. If you don't change the file names to be sequentially the Finder will have no idea how you want them sorted.
A workaround would be to manually add a sequential number to the beginning of every file, i.e. 001-, 002-, etc. A lot of work however. You would need to use at least 2 digits if you have less than 100 photos and 3 digits for 100 or more.

  • How can I export photos from Aperture with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.

    How can I export photos from APERTURE with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.
    has anyone resolved this issue?
    This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
    Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
    ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

    Hi David,
    Coming in and whining loudly is rude.  We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture.  Speaking just for myself:  although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use.  If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
    Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X).  Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images.  You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD.  Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
    Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky.  There are _many_ possibilities.  Some things can't be done.  Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above).  What have you tried?  What was the result?  In what way did this differ from what you expected?

  • Resolution problem: downsized photos in sequence A, enlarged in sequence B

    I have downsized photos in sequence A (to 25%), this sequence is enlarged (300%) in my final sequence (B).
    The exported movie is unsharp/blurry. So apparently in the sequence B it doesn't use the full image resolution, but it uses the downscaled image from sequence A.
    How can I resolve this?

    To explain the purpose: Sequence A has a whole bunch of photo's for a stopmotion video. I use this sequence for the right timing of the images. All images are scaled down to fit the window size so I can see what I'm doing, while working in this sequence.
    Sequence B is used to zoom in on the right parts of the canvas, rotate the canvas and so on.
    And yes, I dragged B into A from the browser.

  • Exporting photos with full meta data

    Hi all, I'm trying to export some pics. I'm exporting them to a folder on my desktop, after the export I go to any of the pics and click CDM+I to check the info on the pics and it is showing the pic as having been created now, not when it taken. I would like to be able to keep the original data on the pic. What an I doing wrong ? I've tried several ways under file-export but always lose the date and time when the pic was taken, all other camera info is intact.. Thanks for any help.

    Hard to recall when I last so so much incorrect material in a single post. It's quite obvious that you have little understanding of how digital photography works, the relationship between photos, files, Exif and IPTC metadata and how a Photo Manager works. Indeed, you seem clueless as to how the forum works too.
    There is no bug in iPhoto. Yes you do get out what you originally put in, plus whatever you added.
    First misunderstanding: A File is not a Photo. A file is a collection of data. The file has a creation date, a file has modification date. Neither of these things necessarily reflect the date of the Photograph. Simple example: When you copy a file from a camera to your computer a +new file is made+. That's a simle fact. One file cannot be both on your camera and your computer.
    To overcome this difficultly Exif metadata was created. This is part of the Photo. It records - along with a lot of other data - the date and time the Photo was taken. As you copy files this data is copied and so, even though the dates on the file may change the dates on the photo doesn't.
    Exif is standard metadata supported by every camera manufacturer, every computer OS and any significant photo applications out there. Perhaps you should read up a little on it. It might help clear up your thinking.
    Also an export might appear to fail when 90% done due to a volume error.
    A volume error has nothing to do with Metadata, nothing to do with where you imported files from, nor indeed where the files are stored. This is utter twaddle. It's a bit like saying "If the children are in the back seat, the front wheel might fall off your car". Rubbish.
    The Folder Structure of the Library - or indeed the one the files are imported from - matters not a single whit. A photo app gets +no information whatever+ about a photo from the folder it is in. Nothing. Zilch. Nada.
    Now as well as not understanding much about Photos, files and metadata, you demonstrate that you are equally clueless about iPhoto.
    . You will see two folders named Originals and Modified and if you want to just bail on iPhoto and possibly retain some organization of your photos, you can just drag these out of the iPhoto library to your hard drive
    Now there's an excellent way to lose lots and lots of metadata. For a start you lose any metadata you've added in iPhoto - titles, descriptions, keywords. The only way to get this data is to export from iPhoto. Really, there is never a need to enter the library in this way. What you suggests causes data loss and you might take the time to warn folks: "Oh by the way, doing what I suggest will cause dataloss."
    The error people keep getting... is likely because the export combines all your photos into one folder,
    Export will not do this +unless you tell it to+
    and most people have multiple duplicate file names like 1.jpg or family.jpg etc.
    Most people?
    so iPhoto can't complete an export of "originals" and your only other likely option is to do an export in numeric sequence, which will likely lose all the original file names.
    A really basic misunderstanding. This is a (very sensible) limitation of the Finder You can't have two files of the same name in one folder. One will overwrite the other and so you lose data. If you ask iPhoto to export two files of the same name to a single folder it won't do it as the second would overwrite the first. You wouldn't want that would you? So, your "bug" is a simple and sensible precaution against dataloss.
    There are several possible naming schemes within iPhoto to avoid this problem, but the easiest is the one is sequential. Why? Because you can choose your Prefix. So, if you have two files called "Family" then you can give them the Prefix family and export sequentially. Result: two files called Family1 and Family2.
    But all this can be avoided simply by not exporting into one large folder. If, instead, you export Event by Event (something that can be done manually, or automated with Automator or with a free 3rd party app) then the problem doesn't arise at all.
    This IS a bug in iPhoto IMHO and there should have been a warning that you could lose all your original organization when doing a destructive "Import" and a warning that you will become locked into iPhoto without making tedious exports and renaming.
    So, no bug, no need of a warning, no lock into iPhoto.
    The problem with ignorance, as someone once said, is that it gains confidence as it goes along. And so, to your misunderstanding of how this forum works.
    What these cryptic mods
    Cryptic? Mods? No one posting here is a Moderator. We're all just iPhoto users. This is explained clearly in the Terms of Use you agreed to when you signed up to the forum. Read them sometime.
    ...is that your original photo metadata is still in the photo,
    Oh but it is... see that whole Exif metadata thing above...
    you need some third party program to read it.
    No. For a start, on your Mac, iPhoto and Preview will read it. Whatever software came with your camera will read it.
    Apple made NEW file dates when it imported them.
    Yes. But as explained above, the photo date is not the fie date.

  • How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

    HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

  • How do I export photo's from one user acct. to another user acct

    Trying to export photo's from one user acct. to another user acct. on same computer into second users Iphoto app.

    File -> Export to the destop. Drag to Users/Shared Folder and then import from other account.
    Or use iPhoto Sharing:
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

    How to export photos from photo gallery to my iPad

    I had no trouble finding the "Export" tools in the "File" menu. They are greyed out when no photo is selected, but they are functional after selecting one or more photos.
    I agree that it would be nice to have the "Reveal in Finder" option back, but they probably don't want us mucking about inside the Photos library structure.

    For some reason my ipad doesn't recongize readers attached.  Or maybe a better question is how do I know if ipad recognizes reader? How do I export photos from ipd to SD card?

    You can only use the kit to copy photos from a card (or direct from a camera) to the iPad's Photos app, you can't use it to copy content off the iPad.
    To copy photos to the iPad via the kit, then if you are copying the photos onto the card yourself from your computer then you will need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
