Finding metadata in iphoto

Hi,
I'm trying to see the picture metadata (shutter speed, aperture, lens zoom) in iphoto. I have no problems getting to them in aperture 2 but all the information I can get from iphoto '09 is the type of file and the size. I'm trying to make a book in iphoto and would like to have that information printed by its photo. I've been trying to find some documentation that would give me some ideas of how I can do this, without having to switch back and forth between aperture and iphoto, but have not been successful. Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated. thank you for your time.
Eli

Thanks, that was easy enough... I feel a little stupid for not being able to figure that on my own. Is there a way to have it shown automatically when a photo is selected?

  • Spotlight not finding metadata of iPhoto '08

    I used to be able to type a word in spotlight to find a photo which had that word in the Description of the photo (i.e. metadata). Or I could use the Title of a photo. But recently spotlight has changed and doesn't locate Titles or other metadata. It can find the photo files if I know the filename (eg P1053728.jpg) but that's not particularly useful.
    Things I've changed recently: I've updated with every system update very promptly (within a day or so of release); I've also started using Filevault. I can't think of any other significant changes.
    I've tried rebuilding the Spotlight index, but no change.
    Any ideas?

    There is a way to do a one time (or multiple over a 20 day period) writing of keywords, comments and titles to the original files. Follow the first 9 steps of Tutorial #1 and that will get you those items written to the actual original files.
    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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I have 2 iphoto libraries but one is lost, missing, cannot seem to find it... tried an apple care person - they were no help - we use Time Machine for external backup... but cannot find my older iPhoto library! I desperately need some help!

    I have recently had something really odd happen within iphoto.  My photos from May-Oct 2013 appeared to be missing from my primary Iphoto library.
    last night I was trying to find any additional Iphoto libraries on my Imac... I could not find them... but then somehow the May-Oct 2013 library showed up and now I cannot find the "current" primary Iphoto library.   I sought help from apple care today but no solutoin from them after 2 hours trying.  I have timemachine that backs up my Imac each day to an external hard drive.   When I open Iphoto while holding down the "option" key - it lets me choose which Iphoto library... but only (1) library comes up...  I can't figure out what happened - but it seems that I must have more than one Iphoto library because yesterday I was able to see all my photos except the "gap in dates" from May-Oct 2013.  Today - I can only open a Library called Iphoto2014... and it contains the photos from the gap in dates.  I can't "see" any other options to open photos... but just yesterday there appeared to be a different library available.
    Any advice or steps i should take to locate my missing photos - would be soooooo much appreciated.

  • How do I find which photo iPhoto is telling me I have a problem with? I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)". All of the photos I'm using have names.

    How do I find which photo iPhoto is telling me I have a problem with?
    I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)".
    All of the photos I'm using have names.

    That same one others seem to have gotten: "Unable to Assemble Book -- There is a problem with the photo with the filename “(null).” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book"
    I've tried restarting iPhoto with the option and command keys pressed, and asking it to repair permissions, but still have the same message...

  • Is there a way to find doubles in iPhoto

    Is there a way to find doubles in iPhoto ?
    Very hard to manage all the photos. Many times there is the same photo, and it takes disk space for nothing.
    George

    There are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
    Duplicate Annihilator
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - free
    The script only identifies the duplicates and leaves deleteing them up to you.  Duplicate Annihilator will identify and move the dulicates to the Trash for you.  It'll still be up to you to empty the trash bin.

    Hi Gary,
    I never use TM myself...
    Have you looked through Pondini's extensive TM help site?

    Can't imagine something not being covered there.

  • Is it possible to allow iphoto to delete fotos from the finder? (when iphoto doesnt copy the fotos into an own library)

    Is it possible to allow iphoto to delete fotos from the finder? (when iphoto doesnt copy the fotos into an own library)

    No  -- iPhoto does not ever touch an photo file that is not within its database
    THis is one (of the minior) resaons that it is very strongly advised not to uncheck the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library - it makes importing and deleting more difficult and makes upgrading or replacing defective hardware much, much more difficult

    Where can i find the first iphoto?

    Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
    Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
    There are tutorials here

  • Find fotos from iPhoto 7.1.5 with keywords from Spotlight

    Hello, I've attached keywords to all my fotos in iPhoto. Now I would like to find them when using Spotlight. Spotlight doesn't find a single photo on keywords - how do i fix this?

    Don;t search with Spotlight.
    As spotlight works with files and the Finder, and the iPhoto Library is not parseable via the Finder, Spotight does not read the keywords.
    You can search iPhoto keywords through the search box in the iPhoto Window or through a Media Browser. You can create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser.
