Exporting Events from iPhoto

I just convinced my wife to switch from a PC to a mac.... Even though I have all of the pictures on my computer, there are several "events" that she would like to have as duplicates on hers.
I know that I can export them as individual pictures...but is there a way to export the pictures so that a) they are still part of an "event" and b) with all of the face recognition, location information that I spent countless hours trying to set up? Thanks...

Yes and No.
First of all: to export an Event full of photos:
Select all the pics in an Event (command - a) and then go File -> Export
In the resulting dialogue you can set the Kind: to Jpeg and then check the boxes at 'Titles and Keywords' and 'Location Information'
Then complete the export to a Folder on the desktop: Result a folder of images with the titles, descriptions, keywords and location information written to the metadata of the files.
Note: There is no way to share Faces information. There is simply no standard agreement on how this information could or should be shared. The alternative is to use the Faces as a way to keyword the photos.
Note also, this information is written to the metadata of the file. Therefore on her machine she will need an app that understands this material.

  • How to export events from iPhoto in Iphone 5 to Mac?

    How to export events from iPhoto in Iphone 5 to Mac? Thanks

    Is this waht you want to do?
    It's built into the File Export function of iPhoto 9 (11).  Select what every photos you want and use that option to put each photo in a folder with the Event title it came from as in this test of six randomly picked photos:

  • Export events from iPhoto '09 into iPhoto '11

    I'm trying to take my photo library from '09 and put it into '11 on another computer. When I export all of my "Events" are gone. It places the photos into iPhoto but they aren't organized.
    What am I missing?
    TIA,
    Ginger

    iPhoto is a database program and to move the database contents you must move the database - the entire iPhoto library treated as a single entity (which it is) - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported?

    How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported?  Or better yet, how can I export selected events to a new iPhoto library or an existing iPhoto library with events, titles and keywords intact?

  • How to export photos from iphoto'11 to portable drive for download?

    I have 2 macs in different locations and a 500gb portable drive. I am about to leave one location for the second location and want to take my photos from iPhoto with me on my portable drive.
    What is the best way to do this? I do have time capsule on the 1st iMac.
    I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for editing on my iMac. I have a backup catalog Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and the folder 'my pictures' from my PC (on way to recycle - at last) on the portable drive.
    I am not currently using organizer from Adobe Photoshop 9 -but using events from iPhoto.

    Depends on what you want
    If your want your iPhoto library then drag it to the external drive - in the new location depress the option key and launch iPhoto and use the select library command to choose the library you want - the local one or the one on the EHD
    If you want to merge them then use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to merge the library on the EHD with the local library
    If you want just the photos then select them and export them to the external drive and import them into the other library
    Explain exactly what you want if none of these help

  • Is it possible to import certain events from iPhoto, and not my entire 70000 photo iPhoto library?

    For some reason, there are no options to import certain things, when I click import from iPhoto it just starts importing them all! I'm using iPhoto 11 and elements 12

    Yes, but you do it by exporting the event from iphoto, putting the exported photos where you want to keep them, then using "from files and folders" to import them.

  • Backing Up Events from iPhoto

    When I drag Events from iPhoto onto an external backup drive, it copies the photos but not the Event title. I then have to go and create a new folder (Event name)on my external backup and drag photos into it. Is there a way I can copy Events and photos within them without doing this?

    select an event - go to FIle ==> export - make any option selections and click export - click "new folder" and name it - navigate to where you want it and click OK

  • Can I export photos from iphoto to lightroom?

    can I export photos from iphoto to lightroom?

    Not very knowledgeable on iPhoto are we?
    The problem with iPhoto is it copies and or moves all your photo into it's database structure which is just a pain
    It moves nothing. It can copy, or reference the images.
    Even Picasa is better then iPhoto as it actually displays RAW images.
    As Keith says, iPhoto work with every format that the OS supports - in other words all the same ones as Aperture.
    iPhoto doesn't even support Adobe DNG format.
    Going for 0/3 ?
    As for migrating from iPhoto to Lightroom:  Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.

  • In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo.  At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

    In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000  photos in my iPhoto Library. Can I import only certain events from iPhoto into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library?

    I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000 + photos in my iPhoto Library. I see that I can create a unified library between the two. I am wondering if I can import only certain events from iPhoto (like only 2014 events) into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library? Are there any benefits to bringing the whole iPhoto library over to Aperture (iPhoto is SO SLOW for me, I wonder if it is because I have so many photos). Or, any detriment to only bring a few events over?
    And, if I don't merge the two libraries, I assume that means I cannot do it at a later date?
    Help. My local Apple store has had very few Aperture workshops, and the next one is like 2 months away.

    Thank you so much for this information. Here are some responses/comments:
    Disk space - it says 114.43 GB out of 499.25 GB free. I have no idea if that is enough.
    iPhoto version is 9.5.1
    Again, I am not sure how to know if I have 3rd party software...but I don't think I do. Is 3rd party software anything non-apple?
    I will try rebuilding the library. if that doesn't help, maybe I need more memory...? That is what Apple suggested, but that, of course, means buying something else. I've already bought APERTURE, on their recommendation...
    It wasn't, and they told me it was slow because I had too many photos for iPhoto to handle and that I should buy Aperture. Which I did.
    What is your iPhoto version? Are you using the most recent version 9.5.1?
    iPhoto can handle 20000 photos, no problem.  Your computer can be slow for several reasons:
    The most common problem for slowness - insufficient disk space. Don't let your free disk space drop below 20 GB of free space, better more. If the operating system does not have enough working space and the applications you are using, you will notice a very lagging behaviour.
    Older or incompatible softweare can cripple your mac. Do you have any older third-party software installed, that might have installed incompatible kernel extensions?
    Aperture might be slow or keep crashing, if you imported a corrupted image or incompatible video,  that cannot be processed. Then Aperture will try over and over again to create previews and never succeed.  You could test for this situation, by launching Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If Aperture will launch and work better this way, you probably have some bad media in your photo library.
    Another problem to check for is a corruption of your Aperture/iPhoto library. You have run the First Aid Tools to repair the iPhoto Library, but have you ever tried to rebuild the library? See this post by Old Toad: Rebuild iPhoto Version 11

  • How do I export photos from iphoto to a memory card?

    How do I export photos from iphoto to a memory card?

    Not using the correct structure. Camera's use a very exact structure and the only way the camera will see photos on the card is for them to be in that exact structure

  • Export pix from iPhoto 4.0.3 to a digital picture frame (Tiger OS)

    Can't succeed in downloading pix using a card reader. Desired pix moved to an album, then export selected. In dialog box, file export and album name are selected, jpg extension selected, pixel size changed and use extension is selected. The jpg file type and pixel size items conform to frame mfgr specs. The system proceeds to do something as the 100+ photos are supposedly transferred. After proper disconnection from the Mac, the Xd card is placed in the frame but no pix show up. In trying different sizes and extensions, the system prompts that these pictures already exist, as if the pictures are loaded into the card. I have tried creating a desktop file and dragging the album from iPhoto to the desktop with no success ( a subsequent move from the desktop to the card reader icon was planned). How can I be sure that the pix are on the card? How does the system know I want the pix to go on the card since it was never selected? Vince V

    Vince V,
    How does the system know I want the pix to go on the card since it was never selected?
    Any time you export files from iPhoto (or save files in a Save or Save As dialog box in another application) you have to designate a location for the exported (or saved) files. If you did not designate the Xd card as your location, then the system does not know you want the exports saved there. Where did your exports go? Can you do a Finder Search for them?
    Desired pix moved to an album, then export selected. In dialog box, file export and album name are selected, jpg extension selected, pixel size changed and use extension is selected.
    Did you remember to select all of the pix in the album before selecting export? It has been a very long time since I've used version 4, but in iPhoto 6 when you click the Export button in the dialog box you described it opens to a standard Mac Save As dialog box. That second box is where you specify the location for the exported files. Are you getting that dialog?
    I have tried creating a desktop file and dragging the album from iPhoto to the desktop with no success ( a subsequent move from the desktop to the card reader icon was planned).
    I would recommend a 2-part move, just as you describe here. What did happen when you tried to drag the photos to the desktop folder?
    Regards.

  • Exporting video from iPhoto to Desktop

    I take a video with my iPhone4.
    I download it to iPhoto (9.3.2) on my MBP Retina (Mtn Lion).
    I export it from iPhoto to my desktop.
    When I play it on my desktop (QT 10.2), I get no picture and no sound.
    What's happening?

    If you export as a Jpeg then you're telling it to export a movie as a still image. Jpeg is a format for photos, not video
    iPhoto performs no compression on video at all. It has no relevance to the issue at hand.

  • Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

    Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?  Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet.  But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

    I have no idea why you would want to do anything
    Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
    It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option
