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?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Problems exporting photos in iPhoto 6

When I try to export photos from iPhoto to my hard drive, I get an error message that says:
"Directory Exists: exists as a directory at this destination. Aborting export."
This directory doesn't exist - I've tried creating several different folders, but to no avail. If I drag the photos directly to my desktop from iPhoto they work fine, but I can't export resized photos this way.
Has anyone else seen this problem, and if so, is there a fix for it? Thanks in advance!

LH , i quote you, "
As I said previously if you want a BIG image export as a TIFF and it will be very big - but not any better quality than the 1.2 mb JPEG
and something is wrong with your observations - if you have a 9 mb JPEG (which is not really likely)"
first let me say, i am not blind and i am looking at the info on the image in iPhoto. second, i know how to read the info. i have been doing this for a long time. i have some images that have loaded higher than that from the camera. i have a full frame camera with 25mb and it takes higher mb images.
keith, yes alitle is understandable but that much is not. i am not changing the size when exporting. also, the only problem with exporting original, i might have tweaked or cropped in iPhoto.

How to change color profile of exported photos in iPhoto

Hi
Please help. I want to change color profile of exported photos in iPhoto. The iPhoto in my macbook air with mac OS X Yosemite always exports photos in Adobe RGB 1998. How can I make it export photos in sRGB color profile?
Thanks

You can assign a color profile with Preview.

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.

You can not use PhotoStream - your software does not support it - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

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 PHOTOS IN IPHOTO TO A USB DEVICE

I can't seem to export photos from IPhoto to a USB device that holds a 4GB chip. I keep getting a message "unable to create/volumes". I click on the album I created, then click on export, then click on the device, but no luck???? Help, thanks!

If you are using a CF card, look closely at it. There should be a little switch on the side. Make sure it is not in the "lock" position. For a large example, check this out:
http://www.sandisk.com/microsites/ExtremeProSDHC/index.html
Otherwise there may be some damage to the file system. Once all the images are safely stored on the computer (and your backup!) try to reformat the card in the camera and try again.

Export photos with original metadata

I have original photos that states the time taken and all other datas of my camera but once I edited and export from aperture, the new photos do not have the original metadata in it anymore. Is it possible to export photos with the original/master metadata?

How are you viewing the "metadata time"?
The file creation date is not the same as the metadata field "Date".
To view the metadata of an image-format file created by exporting an Image from Aperture, open it in Preview (the app that comes with OS X), run "Tools➞Show Inspector", and click the "Exif" tab.

When I export photos to Iphoto slideshow they crop more after each play. Is this common?

When I export photos to IPhoto slideshow they crop more and more after each play. Is this common?

No. In fact, I've never heard of it before.
It might help if you could give us some details. What do you mean by "export photos to iPhoto Slideshow"? DO you mean you're adding photos to a slideshow in iPhoto? Or hat you created a slideshow in iPhoto and exported that to the Finder?

Since installing OS X 10.7.5 and iPhoto 9.4, I can no longer export photos from iPhoto. I get a message that iPhoto quit while using the HPPhotoExport plugin.

Since installing OS X 10.7.5 and iPhoto 9.4, I can no longer export photos from iPhoto. I get a message that "iPhoto quit unexpectedly while using the HPPhotoExport plugin."

Trash the HPPHoto Export Plugin
/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/*/HPPhotoExport
Remember you have two Libraries:
HD/Library and
HD/Users/Your Name/ Library
On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library
It may be in either.

When I try to export photos from iPhoto, why does it truncate the title I have given the photo? For example, I have labeled it 2013RoxyCarousel. When saved to desktop, it reads 2013. The rest is omitted.

iPhoto 7.1.5.
I chose these settings:
Kind: JPEG
Quality: medium
Include title and keywords (checked)
Size: small
File name: use title
I guess that is what you meant. Thanks for replying.

Exporting Photos with Summary Information

I want to export photos with summary information such as ISO, F setting, shutter speed, ect. For some reason this information is not exporting now. I recently replaced my hard drive and had to redownload LR3 software. Does anyone know what setting I need to adjust so this infor exports with the photo?
Thanks, Paul

Thanks Dorin, I was reducing the size of the files in LR3 which was removing
the information. I'm using Microsift Office Picture Manager to reduce the size of the picture before posting on Treknature. Picture Manager keeps the information, even if I reduce the size of the pic.
Thanks for the help.
Paul
