Export selected photos with comments

How does one export selected photos (or an album) in such a way that when someone else imports them (on a different computer), the comments are preserved?
That is, the recipient gets to see in their iPhoto the comments that the originator added in their iPhoto.
I've done some searching in this forum and it kind of looks like there is no way using iPhoto, and that probably the best bet is to use iPhoto Library Manager. Is that right, or have I missed something?
(As an aside to my main question: I think I recall an older version of iPhoto having an option to export selected photos in what was essentially an iPhoto Library structure (not the entire library, just a library of the selected photos), and this structure could be copied to another computer and then imported into the other iPhoto. But I haven't found any such option in iPhoto 08. If I'm correct I'm puzzled, since it seems like a step backwards.)
Thanks in advance!

Don:
Use the File->Export->File Export menu option with the options shown below:
You can change the size and quality level as needed. The description as well as the keywords and titles will be included.
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. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
Heading Import Results
Some import operations were not performed
Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
then a description of the image with file name
Box Save As Box OK
If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
Thanks if you can can help out.

Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

Hello, I have been exporting my photos with a watermark. Without changing any settings, half way through my day things changed, and now about 1 out of 7 photos have the watermark after export. Change you helpe me change this back please?

I'm sorry to learn that you have endured the audio issues outlined in your post for almost 2 years SusanLM1! This is certainly not normal! Let's get to the bottom of this issue, first please confirm your phone model; your mention that you have the iPhone 5 but your post is on the iPhone 5S forum. Also, share the iOS version currently installed on your phone. What is your ZIP code? Does this happen mainly while you make/receive calls from a particular location (home, office, etc)?

I want to export my photos with the title and info attached

I want to export my photos with the title and info attached but cannot seem to do it with this new os.

Are you confusing Titles and Filenames by any chance?
When you email you're sending a file. The email client sees the Filename. The title is in the Exif metadata of the file and the email app doesn't see this - neither will the Finder or filebrowser.
You can export (as above) and opt to use the Title as Filename - it's there at the Filename section.

Exporting still photos with Ken Burns from iMovie to Keynote

I am new to the Mac and have no experience of iMovie. I am putting together a slide lecture that uses photos and graphics to promote a coffee-table book on conservation issues. The presentation will use manual advance and will be shown to public audiences on large screens. The quality of the projected image is very important so I will be using a high quality Canon projector with a resolution of 1400x1050.
Some images are of landscapes and I want to use the Ken Burns effect that is available in iPhoto and iMovie but, for some unknown reason, not in Keynote. I posted this first with the Keynote Discussion Forum and was advised to move the photos from iPhoto to iMovie, apply the Ken Burns effect in iMovie, and then export to Keynote via Quicktime. My question is, if I do this, will my Ken Burns landscapes retain the same size and quality of projected image as the rest of my Keynote presentation? My impression is that using this process I may lose quality, but I hope I'm wrong. Please advise.

Some background: Importing photos with the Ken Burns checkbox ON causes iMovie to render a video clip from the photo. That's an entirely different process than importing the photo as a "still" image. Unfortunately, Ken Burns and several other rendering routines are vulnerable to factors that sometimes cause them to fail. The disk format can cause failure, third-party software, inadequate video cards and the like. The factors often have nothing to do with iMovie itself.
The same problems can occur when rendering other kinds of clips too, such as themes and special effects. (Ken Burn gets the bad rep because it's where the problems usually occur for users.)
Some of the items you listed in your Library/QuickTime folder are third-party products. There may be others too in the other folders mentioned in the link I posted earlier, so be sure to look in those too. And in iMovie plug-in folders.
Sometimes necessary items are missing that should exist. One I've seen mentioned here occasionally is the QuartzComposer.component, which should reside in your System/Library/QuickTime folder. If it's not there that might cause the problems you see.
Installing/reinstalling the QuickTime 7.1.6 might help. I've seen reports of problems going away after that update. Repeating the update won't hurt.
Have you tried creating a new user account and running iMovie as that user? If iMovie runs okay as that user that suggests a software conflict when you are the user. Unfortunately, if the software is installed in places where it applies to all users it will cause problems for the new user too.
I'd keep trying to find some software component causing trouble for QuickTime/iMovie. It's clear some third-party components have been installed; there might be others. Perhaps stuff related to AVI?

How do I ask iPhoto to stop sharing select photos with Flickr ?

I have selected some 200 photos to "share" with Flickr, unknowing it meant synching, not just uploading.
Now I want to remove some of those photos from Flckr but want to keep the local copies on iPhoto (9.5.1) in my Mac intact. I hear removing on Flckr side would cause the one in my Mac to be removed also. I don't want this to happen.
So before doing so, I would like to cancel sharing of this photo. But I see no way to undo sharing. Is there a magic key stroke to cause sharing to end?

You can not cancel the sharing of a photo
You can log out of Flickr =in iPhoto and the the syncs will not occur
You can remove the photo from the Flickr shard set with removing it from the iPhoto library by selecting the photo in the Flickr album on iPhoto and pressing delete - this will delete forma he Flickr album on iPhoto and from Flickr but not from the iPhoto library

I want to export a photo with it's highest resolution p/in. What value should I use?

I have a photo that an author would like to publish in a book. I sent it at a resolution of 300 p/in. She would like it at the highest resolution possible. How do I find or determine that value? The photo was taken with a Nikon 7000.

The ppi setting is only a tag in the file metadata, it does not change the image in any way. It may be used by some printing applications to determine a default print size, but is generally ignored. The ppi box in the LR Export dialog will accept any number from 1 to 65,000, but what really determines resolution is the number of pixels in the image. If you are exporting all the original pixels from the camera less any lost to aesthetic or aspect ratio crops, that is the highest native resolution possible. Resolution can be artificially increased by using the Resize option in Export so that LR will create and add in new pixels - whether or not this causes visible artifacts is largely dependent on the amount of enlargement.
Since your author friend is probably also unaware of the irrelevance of the ppi tag, send her all your native pixels and set an impressively high number for the tag - like 65,000

Exporting/importing photos with Faces tags

I have an iMac where I keep all photos, movies, etc. and an Air. I loaded all my photos to my Air for a long flight when I tagged them all with Faces and Locations. Now I cannot move them back onto my iMac (where I want to store them for space reasons) with any of that info. Please tell me I have not wasted 8 hours.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The only way to do this is with iPhoto Library Manager

Export a photo with all metadata; sublocation field output incomplete.

With a long location description, LR 4.4 imports fine, but export is truncated. Why?

I changed the captions for my family photos to include names, but when I exported the photos to make DVD's for family members, the old captions were there and not the new ones. How can I make a DVD to include the new captions with names?

I have labeled old family photos with names that I would like to share at a family reunion via DVD. When I export the photos to make the DVD, the old photo labels are back rather than the new labels with names. Can I export the photos with the new titles?

iPhoto shows you these Titles but the Finder shows you Filenames
If you export (File -> Export) you'll get the Export dialogue. Note the option at FileName to use the Title as filename for the exported photo

Print with Comments shuts down Adobe Acrobat 9.5

When I select Print with Comments or Summarize Comments, I see a pop-up window reading "Adobe Acrobat 9.5 has stopped working. Windows is checking for solution..." It doesn't matter what options I select for printing the comments. It happens every time. Any suggestions?

Liebe(r) Mylenium,
vielen Dank für den Hinweis auf DDE!
Leider kann aich weder in der Firewall noch im Virenscanner irgnd einen Hinweis finden. Auch in den jeweiligen Protokollen kann ich nichts über eine Blockierung finden, die irgend etwas mit dem Problem zu tun haben scheint. Und in der Registry die richtigen Einträge zu identifizieren, zu analysieren und ggf. zu bearbeiten geht über meine Kenntnisse zu Windows doch eindeutig hinaus. Ich möchte das System eigentlich ja "nur" benutzen.
Ich habe jetzt einen anderen Ansatz aufgegriffen und schlichtweg die ganze CS4 de- und dann wieder neu installiert (Acrobat allein reichte nicht). Jetzt funktioniert wieder alles. Zwar bin ich jetzt wieder bei Acrobat 9.0 pro, aber das reicht für meine Zwecke. Ich sehe nur mit etwas gemischten Gefühlen dem vorhersehbaren Versuch entgegen, dass Acrobat sich selbst wieder auf v.9.5 updaten möchte. Ich muss sehen, dass ich das verhindere, dann habe ich vielleicht eine dauerhafte Chance. Immerhin hat das Programm ja unter Windows XP einige Jahre lang einwandfrei getan.
Noch mals besten Dank für die Hilfestellung!
Beste Grüße, Wolfgang

Why can't I export iPhone photos from iPhoto?

iPhoto recently started crashing whenever I try to export photos that have been imported from my iPhone.
No problems exporting photos from other cameras, just the iPhone.
In fact, If I mix photos from several cameras in one Event and try to export them all, the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
Any clue why and/or how to fix this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FYI. I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.

the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
Is it just one particuar photo? Have your photos been edited on the iPhone with iOS 7 effects? HDR photos, panoramic photos?
and then I export the edited photos to the hard drive on my iMac so I can burn them to a CD.
Does iPhoto only crash, when you export the photos with "File > Export > Edited" or also, when you export them with "File > Export > Original"?
If you can export the originals, check, if the photos areo.k. and you can open them in Preview.
I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.
That is a risky combination. iPhoto 8.1.2 is not fully supported on Mavericks, and probably your current problem is due to the fact, that iPhoto 8.1.2 does not work well withMavericks. Is there a reason, that you do not want to update to iPhoto 9.5.1 for full compatibility?

Hi, I'm trying to exported edited photos to an external hard drive... when i try to add the hard drive through lightroom it says selected device is not writable.... well i manage to write on it with everything else in the world! please help.

I can export the photos to the desk top but when i then select the folder and drag to drop on the hard drive it does not give me the option. If i go to copy folders out of the hard drive to the desktop i can do so no problem (its not a problem with the hard drive to my knowledge).
Please help its driving me away from both lightroom which i really like and from Macs in general!!!!

I found that it was due to the format of the drive, NTFS not being compatible with Mac. I am not converting the drive to a FAT format.

Exporting photos with Iphoto '08

How can I export metadata of photos such as the comments using Iphoto '08? There only seems to be the option for exporting a photo's title?

tr3der:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where are you wanting to export the comments to? If you export a photo that has a comment assigned to it that comment will be written to the file that gets exported. Applications that can read the metadata will be able to see the comments as well as the titles and keywords if that check box is selected.
Do you Twango?

Is there a way to export all photos in a event with modified names?

Hi
I want to export all my photos withing a event, but i want to see the modified photos, names and original dates so i can re import them in another library, possible?

Select the pics in the Iphoto window and go file - export. In the resulting dialogue tick the boxes at titles and descriptions and places to write all the
metadata to the files. It will then be there when you import to the other library.
Alternatively use iphoto library manager for the job
