If not any other program do that?

Exporting Folders/Albums/Pictures Structure

I recently downloaded iPhoto Buddy to help me organize my 6000+ picture and 200+ video clip iPhoto Library (well over 10GB), that takes at least 2 minutes to load, and I of course have a very large and fairly complicated directory structure. I need to be able to export top level folders, with all sub-folders, albums, pictures and video retained from my current huge library into several smaller libraries.
I know that I could just copy all of the pictures into the different folders and then go in and delete the pics that don't belong there, but that would take forever, and unless there is no other way I don't want to have to do that.

<table><tr><td align=left bgcolor="#FFFFCC">I know that I could just copy all of the pictures into the different folders and then go in and delete the pics that don't belong there, but that would take forever, and unless there is no other way I don't want to have to do that.</td></tr></table>
Is the following what you don't want to do?
1 - make a duplicate of your current iPhoto library and name the folder with an appropriate descriptive name.
2 - use iPhoto Buddy to launch it as a new library and delete those items in it that you don't want.
3 - repeat for other sub-libraries with a specific content.
(Wasn't sure if this was the same as what you described)
Another possible solution would be to obtain iPhoto Library Manager and using it create a new, empty library and then copy selected albums, rolls, etc. from the old library to the new one. It will preserve keyword, comments, etc. You'll need to purchase the full version to get those capabilities.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

Exporting folders/ albums

I have been able to successfully export photos to my external hard drive in order to open them on windows, but instead of photos exporting the folders and albums the way I have them set up (in photos app), it separates them into folders by date. I would like to be able to export the folder with its included albums as one unit that retains the assigned folder and album names- or even just the album if it won't work for folders...Anybody had any luck with this yet?

I tried the way you show above and also using the other drop down options. If I export the pictures within the album, I can move them to named folders on the hard drive. If I export the album, it will still move the included photos to a folder, but takes them out of the album. However, if I select two albums and want them to move to the new folder as albums, I can't get it to work without it pulling all of the photos out of both albums and mixing them together. The same thing happens if I select the "Photos" folder that houses the albums. For example: I made a folder in Photos called "Animals". Inside it are two albums- "Alabama wildlife" and "Louisiana Wildlife". Each has five pictures. I want to export all of it together and already organized without having to set everything up again on the hard drive. :/ I can find a work around.... I just didn't want to have to organize everything twice. Any advice? Thanks

Is there a way to use the Picture viewer app with linked folders?

I have a fairly extensive photo collection (literally in the tens of thousands we have taken over the years, and growing) on my PC that I have access to through BB link/file manager...one picture at a time...with no thumbnails...
Is there any possible way to use the BlackBerry picture app with BlackBerry link folders? All I want is to be able to hook up my Z30 via HDMI to the big screen and have the option for a slideshow from the archive on my PC without having to blindly stab at individual files and folders, and without having to copy whole folders of dozens or hundreds of photos to my phone.
Thanks in advance!

Workflow with projects, folders & albums

hi, would anyone like to give a brief description of the workflow they employ with regard to using the above?
for example,being a wedding photographer i have a folder called weddings then each wedding is a project with a reference number and each selection of images for conversion or selection to print is in a seperate album under that project. however i am coming unstuck when i have print orders from relatives that i want linked to that wedding project but need them to have their own ref number.folders everywhere with tenuous links to related projects.
if anyone can describe their methods i would be most grateful.
thanks, aidan.

My workflow won't help you since I don't shoot weddings but my comments about your workflow may:
- You are definately on the right track putting each wedding into a separate project.
Do you print in house or send out to a service?
- Why not make a folder under the wedding-project for each customer's print order, you can name the folder to match your invoice or job #
- Inside the order-folder make a series of albums for each print size.
This seems like a lot of work but keeping track of print orders for many customers can never be easy. I only shot one wedding (my son's) and I set up a lifepics pro account ($35), linked it to my webiste and let people order from that.

I will bet you $100 or half of my Aperture rebate that within a year you will see a print service for shooters like you (weddings, events, etc.) linked into Aperture, probably run by Apple.

Exporting a library with its folders and albums

I scanned over 1700 slides into my aperture library. AFter spending a considerable amount of time putting them into folders and albums, I would like to export the project so my husband can put it into his aperture library. I exported the whole project onto my desktop so I could put it in dropbox to enable him to put it into his computer. However, when I exported the library, It came across as just one big library of photos, with no structure. I don't care to reorganize the photos into folders and albums again, as it would be very time consuming. Is there any way to export the library and keep its structure?
Thanks in advance
Nancy

Nancy,
what is your Aperture version, and how did you export?
In the current Aperture version 3.4.5 all projects and albums should be preserved, when you export a library with "File > Export > Projects/Albums/Items as new library"
For example, I selected two albums in the library Inspector simultaniously, made sure, that I only selected the albums in the panel, but not single images within the albums, and then used the command "File > Export > Albums as new library".
The exported library had the two albums, as well as all projects and folders necessary to fill he albums.
Did you perhaps only select one big project of scanned images? Then try again by selecting the albums you want to export. My two albums exported like this: You see, the exported library has quite a few folders with projects inside, as well as my two albums:

Léonie

How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
1 - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
NOTE: With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera. If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder. If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

Can i export an album from iphoto to a memory stick with the album title to identify the the file

I would like to put my photos as per album on to a memory stick, can this be done with the named albums, so I can highlight the album then open the chosen title and then select the chosen photo, I only have iphoto on my mac and have a 32GB memory stick, Hazel

If you want you can export the contents of that album via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and select File Name = Use Album Name with Number and each photo will be exported with the Album Name as the file name followed by a sequential number, i.e. Album Name-01.jpg, Album Name-02.jpg, etc.
Then put them in a folder and drag the folder onto the memory stick.

In photoshop 10 when I export an album to a dvd I can't open it on my computer with windows 7 what do I do

IN photoshop 10 when I export an album to a dvd, I can't op@en it on my computer with windows 7. Help

The ! means that iPhoto cannot find the master or original file.
Assuming that these same photos behave correctly in the main library then it suggests the burn has gone wrong somewhere.
As a matter of interest... why are you burning libraries to DVD? If it's a form of back up then it's a dead end. Your next version of iPhoto won't be able termed or work with them, and your next Mac won't have an optical drive.

Exporting images with subfolders by album name

Hello,
I have a project with approx 800 images, organized in 12 different albums. Now I want to export all the images in a folder, which should contains 12 subfolders named with the original album names.
For example, I have a project named "friends" which contains 12 albums named "Emma", "Laura", "Tom", etc... A want to export in order to have this subfolders:
Friends/Emma
Friends/Laura
Friends/Tom
I tried the export-versions option "subfolder format", but I'm not able to do that.
Who can help me?
Thank you,
Paolo

One last idea
you could color label the pics.
For example all images of Emma in the album "Emma" get a red label, all images of Laura get a blue label, ....
There a seven colors available like in Finder. This perfectly matches with your needs^^ Seven persons get a different color each, one person gets no color. So you have 8 criterias. Lucky you, not having nine people :P
Click on your project with all 800 pics and their different color labels, select all and export them.
Aperture now will give each exported image the same color label as it has in Aperture. After export has finished you can easily put the images in a corresponding folder based on the color label...
Have fun

HT202905 Applescript is exporting folders with a space after the foldername.

Applescript is exporting folders with a space after the foldername. This is causing problems with an FTP upload of ours. Is there a way to ensure Applescript doesn't insert spaces on the end of folder names?
Thank you!

i bought a used 2 year old macbook pro last week did an erase and install with leopard and once that was done with nothing transfered firewire the drive had over 20 gigs of used space on it so i started snooping around and saw a number of folders in a folder labeled base system that have a solid red circle with a white dash in the middle next to them after clicking on them it says i do not have permission even though i am in under admin?
the fact that you are an admin doesn't mean that you automatically have access to everything. those folders are owned by the system and have restricted permissions. you should not mess with them. those permissions are mostly restricted to prevent curious users with itchy fingers from damaging the system. as an admin user you can change those permissions and give yourself access to those folders but as i said you shouldn't.
any ideas to what it is what to do or why it took over 20 gigs to install?
20 Gigs sounds like a bit too much. have you installed any programs besides leopard itself?

How do you export iPhoto albums to an external drive and have all the albums still labeled?

I am having an issue exporting the iphoto albums to an external drive. When I do it, it either just drops all the pictures in together or it separates them by events, but my iphotos are arranged in albums, not events so that doesn't help. Can anyone help with this?
Also, I'm new to mac and i'm noticing iphotos has a lot of limitations...I can't save photos automatically to folders/albums in iphoto bc it doesnt show in the finder, I can't upload to facebook without doing it from iphoto, and I obviously can't save to external drive easily just yet. Should I just be saving all of my photos in Pictures in the finder? Is there a way you can save them in pictures and then be able to open them in iphotos? I'm getting so frustrated and ready to go back to my PC. =(

A couple of general comments:
1. iPhoto is not compulsory. You don't have to use it.
2. But if you do, then you're going to need to make a small conceptual leap, and learn just a little.
The Conceptual Leap: Your Files and your Photos are not the same thing. The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
The Learning: iPhoto replaces the Finder (or file browser) for everything to do with your Photo. And I do mean everything. Organising, Editing, sharing with other apps, printing, uploading, whatever are all done either with or via iPhoto. It's you "go-to" for anything to do with your Photos.
The upshot of that is that how (or where) the files are stored doesn't matter - as long as they are safe and backed up - because after importing to iPhoto you never directly access those files again.
So, you want to organise your Photos: do it in the iPhoto Window. Events, Albums, Keywords, and so on. You do all your work via that window or the media browsers that make the Library available in every app in the OS.
So: want to edit a photo, but not with iPhoto? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
How to access the Photos for whatever reason you may need them see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
For details of the Export dialogue: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
You can more or less recreate your folder tree in the iPhoto Window - start at the bottom of your tree and drag folder of images to the Albums Heading. iPhoto will import the images and make an album of them. Then File -> New Folder and drag the Album to that. Folders can hold nested folders and Albums. And so work from there.
But if your folder tree is date based that's a bit pointless, as the Calendar search and Smart Albums make it pretty redundant. With these you can find any photos from a specific day, week, month, year or date-range in the Library.
If the folder tree is theme based, then keywords will a more effective way of working.
And Albums are more flexible that folders in the Finder, as an image can be in any number of Albums and use no extra disk space whatever.
So, it's a whole new way of working with photos for you.
To your specific questions:
I am having an issue exporting the iphoto albums to an external drive. When I do it, it either just drops all the pictures in together or it separates them by events, but my iphotos are arranged in albums, not events so that doesn't help
Export them one album at a time.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
But given the above... why are you doing this? You're defeating the non-destructive workflow by doing it. Are you trying to back up?
.I can't save photos automatically to folders/albums in iphoto bc it doesnt show in the finder,
Not clear exactly what you're asking here, but does the above open some ideas?
I can't upload to facebook without doing it from iphoto
Yeah you can... For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
It's the first one...
and I obviously can't save to external drive easily just yet.
Yeah you can but what exactly are you trying to save, and, again, why? Different purposes have different workflows.
Should I just be saving all of my photos in Pictures in the finder?
That's a personal choics, but not if you plan on using iPhoto. And as I started with iPhoto is not compulsory... As to why you shouldn't with iPhoto:

Reasons for bothering to learn...
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

Messed with library folders in "pictures" application

While trying to find some pictures in the "iphoto library" within the "pictures" folder in applications, I renamed and deleted what I thought were arbitrary or blank folders. After this changed all of my thumbnails in iphoto to blanks, I learned that you are not supposed to mess with the folders in either library. Too late. How do I get them back? The pictures are still in the "pictures" iphoto library within applications, but not in my iphoto program on my desktop. HELP!

The reason I went in and changed names and such was to more easily find the photos to attach in an email or to upload to a photo site.
There is a much better way to do this than fishing around in the iPhoto Library folder.
Use iPhoto to select the photos for your email (or to upload to a website, or to burn to disc for printing). Then Export the photos to a folder on your desktop. During the export you can also resize them, to make them smaller for email or websites. You can also have the exports renamed by the iPhoto title or album name. Use the exported copies to attach to your email or website. When you're done you can delete the desktop copies, as the full-sized files are still safe inside your iPhoto library.

Subfolder Format: Exporting by album title

Aperture makes it very easy to make albums containing all the images from a certain day, just find all pictures from that day using the Library Search HUD and click on "Make Album from Selection". I can make albums and title them with the topic of that day's images, but I can't export the title of the album. The custom subfolder format screen has options to name the subfolders after the project name or the containing folder, but not the album.
Does anyone know of an easy way to get around this? I would like to either export folders with titles reflecting the album title, or an easy way (one step) to create a project containing all images from a certain day.

btw, I'd like to make this process as automated as possible. I frequently will go a few weeks without exporting images for my website, it's time consuming to have to go through and manually rename all the folders when I keep my albums so well organized and named.

How to export an album and keep images in the same order in elements 11 mac

I made an album of my trip to Australia (lots of pictures) and changed the order of the images (not the same as shooting order) and when I export the images in the album to a folder or memorystick, the images are copied to that place but I lost the album order of the images.
How can I prevent that, without having to renumber al 500 images separatly?

Thanks for the tip, Michel
It worked like a charm…

The order in album is only kept in the organizer database, so the only way not to lose that order is to rename files.
If you are using the 'export' function, select your album in custom order, select all photos and in the dialog, choose to rename with a common base name.
