Exporting iphoto image to document file

I am designing a website and need to export an image from iphoto to a document file. When I exported the image using the website format, I was unable to add additional content. All I want to do is reduce the size of the image and add it to the document which will then be saved in html. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks.

Which program/application are you using to create your document,and will the site you're building in let you use documents created on your eMac? You might check with them about that. You can import iPhoto files into Appleworks so far as I can tell,also into Text Edit,I believe. Find out if you can use completed documents to create your website. I'd also try shrinking the size of your photo in the iPhoto App.,then Dragging and Dropping the created photo to your desktop before you try to add it to the site.I'm not sure,but I don't like websites poking around in my files,the desktop seems more public ,possibly more defense against prying eyes?Someone else jump in here.I'm not too hep on Security issues since I've never used one of those other computers.Linda

Exported iPhoto images not showing in folder

Hi,
When I export a group of NEF images from iPhoto 06 Library, as JPG, to a new folder the files do not appear.
If I repeat the export for the other export options the images appear.
I did repeat this exercise and exported the images as JPG onto a USB drive, and was able to see them listed when viewed on another laptop.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I found that if I set the image size for the JPG, then the files are visible.
Does anyone know why the files are hidden when the size is not defined?
Thanks.

Store image and document files

If I define a table column as BLOB type, and I want it to hold image files. Can I used it for holding multiple images/pictures? Same question is asked for the document files such as .DOC or .PDF files?
I mean something like this:
ROW ID BLOB
Row 1 Image 1
Row 2 Image 2
Row 3 Image 3
Can I put all three (images 1, 2 , and 3) into one "cell", such as:
Row 1 Image 1|Image 2|Image 3?
Similarly for the document, Can I put all three (doc 1, 2 , and 3) into one "cell", such as:
Row 1 Doc 1|Doc 2|Doc 3?
Thanks
Scott

Same question is asked for the document files such as .DOC or .PDF files?Yes, you can. But it will require you to create a "+mega datastructure+", embed the content (images, pdf, docs) into this and then saving that structure as a LOB.
For example, you can use XML, use base64 to encode the image/doc/pdf and add it into the XML structure - and repeat for each image/doc/pdf until they are all in that single XML format. XML is however not that well suited for dealing with large binary structures.
You can create your own format. You create a fixed size header structure that contains filename and size. You then write into the LOB a header+file, header+file, and so on.
Reading the LOB is relatively easy as you read a header (fixed size). This tell you how many of the following bytes are file (image/pdf/doc). Read this variable part and then read the next fixed sized header.
However... this is a lot of extra code that needs to be written. The LOB structure is a lot more complex. And you have to ask yourself how is this better in anyway to use header-and-file when you can achieve exactly the same using a table structure +(filename, lob)+.
If you want to store structured data in a database, then use the database to provide that structure for you. It is highly questionable to create your own complex data structure (only understood by your code) and then chuck that into a single database column value. This will not be robust. This cannot perform. This will never scale.
So your approach.. well, bluntly put I would put that into the Very Silly Party category.. you know the party who, for the Harpenden constituency, had election candidate Malcolm Peter Brian Telescope Adrian Umbrella Stand Jasper Wednesday (pops mouth twice) Stoatgobbler John Raw Vegetable (whinnying) Arthur Norman Michael (blows squeaker) Featherstone Smith (whistle) Northgot Edwards Harris (fires pistol, then 'whoop') Mason (chuff-chuff-chuff-chuff) Frampton Jones Fruitbat (laughs) (squeaker) Gilbert (sings) 'We'll keep a welcome in the' (three shots) Williams If I Could Walk That Way Jenkin (squeaker) Tiger-drawers Pratt Thompson (sings) 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' Darcy Carter (horn) Pussycat (sings) 'Don't Sleep In The Subway' Barton Mainwaring (hoot, 'whoop') Smith.

Needed: Script for exporting iPhoto albums into a file structure

Hello all! I have no experience with AppleScript, but I heard it should be possible to write a script which helps to copy/export a iPhoto album structure into an according directory structure. Does anybody already have such a script?
Thx for any information on that!

Thomas,
I have created an AppleScript along with the TextCommands OSAX that duplicates all of the albums in iPhoto to a folder called "Albums" on the desktop. It is quite slow because of the need to open an Info window in Finder to get the path to the original photo but gets the job done.
If you wish it could be modified to provide an ability to select individual albums for duplication. Let me know if you are interested in the latter. I am also seeing whether the album structure can be created directly in a burn folder so that CDs/DVDs can be rapidly burned.
TextCommands is donationware and available at the following location:
http://osaxen.com/files/textcommands1.0.1.html
and should be placed in the following location for the AppleScript to see it:
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">property PathToDesktop : path to desktop as string
property PathToPictures : path to pictures folder as string
property PathToiPhotoLibrary : PathToPictures & "iPhoto Library"
property PathToiPhotoAlbums : PathToiPhotoLibrary & ":Albums"
property PathToCopiedAlbums : PathToDesktop & "Albums"
tell application "Finder"
activate
set theCopiedAlbumsFolder to duplicate folder (PathToiPhotoAlbums as alias) to desktop
set theAlbums to folders of folder PathToCopiedAlbums
set theExtraneousFiles to files of folder PathToCopiedAlbums
delete theExtraneousFiles
repeat with anAlbum in theAlbums
repeat with anAlias in anAlbum
-- need to use GUI access to grab the path to the original photo
open information window of anAlias
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
-- grab the path to the original file
set PathToTheOriginalPhoto to value of static text 2 of scroll area 1 of window 1
end tell
end tell
close window 1

tell application "TextCommands"
split PathToTheOriginalPhoto using {":", "../"}
set PathToTheOriginalPhoto to item 4 of the result
set PathToTheOriginalPhoto to search PathToTheOriginalPhoto for "/" replacing with ":"
set PathToTheOriginalPhoto to (PathToiPhotoLibrary & ":" & PathToTheOriginalPhoto) as alias
end tell
(* unfortunately there seems to be bug in duplicate file to another folder so must use a copy, , delete the alias, move, and clean up name of copied file sequence to accomplish the equivalent *)

Still image export is not exporting interlaced images from interlaced video

I'm doing some quality tests and the video i have is 60i and i'd like to export stills from the 60i, but when i run it through quicktime conversion>export still image the resulting file has been deinterlaced. i've tried multiple formats and multiple frames, and it's always deinterlaced.
to restate, the video is interlaced and i want stills that reflect exactly how the video is and fcp is deinterlacing the still exports.

I usually export stills using the export queue, and I too have noticed that FCP6 now seems to de-interlace and resize the stills to square pixel dimensions automatically. I can't find any way to control or deactivate this option - anyone know?

Iphoto export makes image files disappear

I export 200 Jpg and mp4 files from iphoto to a network disk folder. After export, finder only shows the 20 mp4 files. When I try to export one or more of the jpg files a second time, I'm told the files already exist. I just want to make sure my files are safe and can be accessed by other computers and photo software.

from iphoto to a network disk folder.
Try export to a Folder on the Desktop and then drag that to your Network Disk. I'm pretty sure this issue is caused by the format of your NAS.

How can I export an edited image to a file?

I can't seem to find a way in iPhoto 09 do this. Can I export an edited image to a file, keeping the edits intact, or do I have to use a 3rd party editing app when I edit from inside iPhoto 09?
I would prefer to use iPhoto's editing tools so should I import previously cropped images into iPhoto? If yes, what file should I use? I was wondering if anyone does this on a regular basis and if there issues doing this.
I like the editing tools in iPhoto very much. In other apps I have always cropped, resized, corrected levels and a bit of color. I am not a power user by any means and I am close to doing this all in iPhoto if I could only export the edited image to a file.
The reason I want to do this is because the printing portion of my work flow is to upload files to my merchant who prints them and are ready for nearby pickup within an hour. This is all done at a very reasonable price and the color accuracy is very close.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

You can edit from iPhoto by dragging to the desktop or exporting using the File -> Export command, setting the Kind to anything except original.
But you probably don’t need to:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How can I get iPhoto to display ONLY file numbers of pictures and not document titles when displayed as thumbnails?

I am a pro photographer and I've never used iPhoto. I use a combination of Adobe's Bridge, Lightroom & Photoshop programmes. I've sent a disk of images to a client and they cannot see the file numbers of the images. Their version of iPhoto only displays the document title that I have embedded in the metadata when importing the images into Bridge.
When I ran a test and imported the same images into my version of iPhoto(7.1.5, since you ask) some of the thumbnails displayed the file number while others displayed the document title. Why does this happen? Can I make it stop? How do I make iPhoto display just the file number in thumbnail mode and not the document title?
When I view the images in Bridge, all I see is the file number but I can't convince the client to use the programme even though they have it. Any help/guidance will be very gratefuly received.
Many thanks,
Adam.

In every version prior to iPhoto 11:
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File...
In iPhoto 11:
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original...

Iphoto fails to render files for export to certain folders after upgrade

I just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest version of iPhoto but I now unfortunately get an error message when I try to export photos. It seems to work if I export to the main Documents folder but fails if I try to export to a sub folder of the main Documents folder (very odd) which is where I want the exports to be saved. The error message says "Unable to render file for export:/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/IMG-1058.jpg". I don't know why the path name shown here is a SD Card path which is not connected. Hope someone can help? It worked fine before the upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1
Thanks
Craig

The iPhoto preference file might be wonky. Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

How do I Export Raw images from Iphoto to Adobe Photo Elements 4

I recently purchased Photo elements 4 because I could import images from Iphoto in Raw format and work with them. Everything I have read and the instructional video sent to me by Adobe make it look and sound very easy but so far I have had no success.
I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4. However I can not find my Raw images. What am I doing wrong or failing to do and is there some logical sequence that I have to follow to import Raw images.
I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
Thanks for any help you can provide

dakota8,
iPhoto and Adobe Bridge are incompatible, so you need to decide which one you want to use (for which photos). iPhoto is a database, with many flexible features for organizing your library and finding your photos. Bridge is a file browser with some organizing capabilities. You absolutely should not use Bridge or any other application (Finder included) to browse the files inside your iPhoto Library folder, as it will damage the iPhoto database. To verify, click on iPhoto's Help and read the section "About using the iPhoto Library."
If you want to keep your RAW files in iPhoto, then you'll need to open them from iPhoto. As Dave E said, this can be done by setting the iPhoto pref to export RAW files. You also need to set PE 4 as the external editor in iPhoto's preferences. With this setup, you can select photos using iPhoto, open the RAW files into PE 4, then edit. Now comes the wrinkle in the workflow. Normally, you would do a Save to cause your edited file to be saved back into the iPhoto library. This Save, not Save As, requires that the filename and extension stay the same. Works great with jpeg files. However, once you edit the RAW, the extension (and file format) must change. Save will not work, because any save at this point is treated like a Save As. So you have to Save As to a folder OUTside of your iPhoto Library, and then import it in as a new file. There will be no link between the edited version and its unedited RAW file. You could organize inside iPhoto to display the edited file beside its original RAW, or keep separate rolls for the originals and edits.
With that in mind, you might not want to save the RAW files in iPhoto at all. You could create your own filing system for them, which you would browse using Bridge. Upload using Image Capture to save your files to a folder of your choice. Once you edit the RAW files and save as another format, you could them import into iPhoto for cataloging or further editing. You'll just have to find the system that works best for you.
BTW, don't save your edited RAW files as Adobe RAW. I tried and discovered that iPhoto refuses to import them at all.
I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4.
There's no transferring involved at all. Bridge is rooting directly inside the iPhoto Library folder. Did I mention that it's best to avoid this?
However I can not find my Raw images.
When you import a file it is saved into the Originals folder. Your RAW files are there, along with any video clips you may have imported.
iPhoto automatically creates a jpeg version of your RAW files and stores it in the Modified folder. It has to do this in order to display the picture on your screen. With video clips, a jpeg of the first frame is created for display purposes.
I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
If you import both versions into iPhoto, then you have
Originals - RAW
Modified - jpeg
Originals - jpeg
(Modified - jpeg - if you edit the jpeg version or if they are auto-rotated to portrait orientation)
I don't shoot in RAW, so I can't really comment about which workflow would be the most efficient. I just played with it long enough to realize that there is no easy way to do it.
Regards.

Unable to view/export hipstamatic images from iphoto

I am unable to export any of my hipstamatic images that have been imported into iphoto. I am using my iphoto library off of my external hard drive and can export any photo onto my desktop, Face book, etc... except for my hipstamatic images. Help!! thank you!

No idea.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Somethings to try:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When copying pic from iPhoto 09 to a file, to burn a CD, after 35 photos it stops copying and I get "Unable to create/users/dividrublesr/ documents/I don't know what is going on.

When copying pic from iPhoto 09 to a file, to burn a CD, after 35 photos it stops copying and I get "Unable to create/users/dividrublesr/ documents/I don't know what is going on. Forgive me for any mistakes, I am a first timer.

Given that the file is selected then the next possibility is that you're exporting two files with the same name. When you do this the export breaks down as the second file would overwrite the first. Check the filenames.

How do I export my images from iPhoto 9.4, to an external drive?

How do I export my images from iPhoto 9.4, to an external drive?
mainly to back them up without using time machine.
Thanks

Just the Images?
File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
To back up the Library: that is images, organisation, edit history etc etc
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Export html - Image files names

Hi,
I'm trying to create a project with an image (map of Italy) that highlight any region on mouseover (rollover).
Everything is fine, and when I preview on firefox it looks great.
Problem is that when i export it (export with images in a folder), it creates some strange names of these files (ie: no title_r1_c1_d1), that is not recognized by other html softwares (joomla).
Is there any way to export these file names with another name?
The project is really long and it would be impossible to rename these files when the have allready been exported, so I need to find a solution to tell fireworks to export them in a right format.
Thanks in advance

I'd suggest looking at the Export options (in the dialog that appears after choosing File > Export). For instance, maybe it would help to deselect "Include Areas without Slices".
In addition, you could experiment with the HTML Setup options (by clicking the Options button in the above dialog or by choosing File > HTML Setup). For example, in the Document Specific section, there are file naming options for slices.
Sorry, but there are a lot of variables and unknowns in what you're describing, and it's hard to narrow down what's happening. These are general suggestions.

I took a photo class and the tech showed me how to take iPhoto images and export to an external hard drive. However, I do not recall how this was done. Can anyone provide me with step by step instructions? TIA!
