Flip image in iPhoto 11

Can anyone who has iPhoto 11 confirm if this version brings the "flip" feature not available in previous verisons of iPhoto? I use this because I take shots in a mirror and need to flip them after the fact. Not rotate...
If anyone has iPhoto 11 and can try to do this and let me know if its available that would be helpful.
Thanks.

"no point and shoot digital camera has ever recorded a "flipped" photo"
Read the original post. To claim that no point and shoot digital camera has ever taken a photo in a mirror is asinine. In the age of Facebook, this is done ALL THE TIME.

  • How do you flip images in iphoto ?

    i have mirror images that need flipping can i do it in iphoto 09 ... if not can i flip it an another software for eg image well and then have it saved as sich in iphoto ?

    Some external editors that can do that for you are: Xee (free), Paintbrush 2.0.1 (free) and GraphicConverter. Each of these can be set to be used from within iPhoto.
    Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.

  • Does iPhoto flip images horizontally or is it my camera?

    As a Serious stamp collector, I am trying to scan all of my collection into iPhoto.
    (Only because there is NO dedicated software for the Stamp Collector).
    Problem is that images are flipped (Reversed) horizontally.
    Rotate will only turn the image upside down.
    I am forced to use (Preview, Photoshop, GraphicsConverter) to correct the pics.
    This seems to be a camera problem, as iPhoto and iChat images are FLIPPED.
    This fault could be easily fixed by simply adding a FLIP IMAGE BUTTON to iPhoto and iChat.
    My system uses a:
    1 yr old PowerBook 1.67 ghz 12in.
    OS X 10.4.6
    iPhoto v6.04
    Sony DCR-HC40 video camera using the Firewire option and from MemoryStick. ( I Haven't tried SONY USB or S-video output)
    Now that I wrote this post, I should give SONY a buzz and see what they recommend.
    Any Input on this subject is appreciated.
    PowerBook 1.67ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    SSC:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're taking pictures of the stamps for inclusion into iPhoto and they are coming out reversed, right? You're not actually scanning them.
    Check all of the menus on the camera to see if there is an option to flip the image. It sounds like there should be one. Are normal photos flipped? Are you using a "macro" mode on the camera? Check those out to see if the answer is in there somewhere.

  • Reverse & Print Image from iPhoto?

    How do I reverse/flip an image and print it from iPhoto?
    I tried another way as well....I have been able to save to desktop from iphoto....view in Preview & flip that image using Preview Tools, but I am unable to print the reversed image from Preview.
    So, the ultimately question remains...*Can you reverse an image in iPhoto and print it?*
    Thanks!

    Below is the thread you suggested that I follow. I was able to set Preview as the external editor, flip the image and save it to iPhoto. The image is now correct when I view it from iPhoto. However, when I try to print the edited image, which is still under the preview option, it pulls the original image from iPhoto.
    How do I print the edited version of the image?
    Thanks!
    "The easiest way to do this is in the Tools menu in Preview. You can set Preview as an external editor, or use an image editor for the job.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway."

  • How do you flip image Horizontally

    I'm sure I'm looking right at it but can't find out how to flip an image Horz. I see rotate, but not flip.
    thks for help

    You can't flip horizontally in iPhoto. What I do is to export to the desktop and then open with the contextual menu item QuickView (you can get it at VersionTracker.com), rotate and save, and then import back into iPhoto. If you have a different 3rd party application that have flip images you could do that, even using it from within iPhoto by setting it up as your editor of choice for that particular item.

  • Flipping Photos in iPhoto

    I have pictures that I took using Photo Booth and I copied them to iPhoto, and there is no option to flip them in iPhoto. Is there a way to do it in iPhoto or do I have to flip them in Photo Booth first then import them into iPhoto?
    Any help and info would be great
    Thanks,
    Netdude21

    There is no provision in iPhoto to flip an image. You'll have to use another application to do the job. Just make sure it physically flips the image instead of just adding a tag to the file to tell applications that can read the tag how to display.
    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.

  • How can I create a negative from image in iPhoto

    I wish to create a negative from an image in iPhoto so I can print as if the negative. Is it possible to do this in iPhoto?

  • How do I delete images from iphoto after I export them to make room on my hd

    I have exported images from iphoto onto an external hard drive to make room for more images on the macbook pro - whenI deleted the files from iphoto page they still seem to be sitting somewhere on the laptop, number are still high and I need to delete them, where do I go to delete the files that have been exported to the external storage, I do not have time machine.

    What version of iPhoto?
    Did you empty the iPhoyo Trash?

  • Images in Finder vs Images in Iphoto

    My computer is almost full and I have removed several thousand images from iPhoto to an external hard drive. However, my computer still shows that most of my space is taken up by image files. When I open Finder, the images section shows I have over 17,000 (most are RAW format) images on my Mac. I have done a little research and most of what I read says you cannot erase those images without corrupting iPhoto. I just don't know what else to do. Anyone else have this issue?

    You need to move your iPhoto library to a hardwired external disk that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the EHD, launch iPhoto while holding down the option key until the select library window appears and select the new location - once it is fully tested you can delete the old library test one more time before emptying the trash)

  • Critical issue with exporting images in iPhoto 08?

    I have been exporting selected photos to a thumb drive under iPhoto 06. I then take the thumb drive and put it in a pioneer palsma and go to GALLERY mode. Works fantastic and I can then review the images with my clients. Never had a problem with iPhoto 06. I upgraded to iPhoto 08 recently and export selected photos to the thumbdrive under the new upgrade. When I go to Gallery mode on the plasma the photos do not come up and it hangs up the plasma..... ??? Seems to be a problem somewhere with what "08" does with the photos? I ran a number of different test with two different thumb drives using photos from iPhoto 08 and cannot get them to work. I go back to an old iMac that was not upgraded to iPhoto 08 and both thumb drives they work fine on the plasma. In fact it is almost impossible to mess the operation up with "06". I have tried to export the photos in "08" in all the various size options and still no success. I would appreciate any help to this critical problem I am facing since I use this function of showing my images on a plasma on a daily basis . After about 10 to 12 hours of working htis problem I am totally loss as what to do. Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for your reply.
    1. I select the photos from iPhoto - varied between 5 and 20 (ran different test)
    2. Click on FILE
    3. Select EXPORT
    4. Under the FILE EXPORT tab I have tried all the various options with no success
    5. KIND - I make sure they are JPEG files - I have tried the Original also which is actually JPEG files
    6. JPEG QUALITY - I have tried all 4 options from LOW to MAX
    7. SIZE - I tried all 4 size options from SMALL to FULL
    8. FILE NAME - I use filename
    9. Select EXPORT tab
    10. I export to the thumbdrive and I chcek and they are on the thumbdrive
    11. I also tried to EXPORT to the desktop and copy them to the thumbdrive
    I click on the photos on the exported images I placed on the thumb drive and they come up fine on PREVIEW on my MAC. No prroblem with the images until I try to use them on the plasma. I go back and use images from iPhoto 06 that I did not call up with the "08" program and they work fine.
    Hope that explains what I do. Thanks again

  • Cannot move some images in iPhoto to desktop

    I cannot move an image from iPhoto to my desktop.  Also, when I click on the image in iPhoto to enlarge it, I get an exclamation point.  When the image is small size in iphoto, I can see it.  But if I click on it to enlarge it in iphoto, I get the exclamation point.  Don't know why this is happening?  I have Iphoto 09, version 8.1.2 (424)  My goal:  Be able to move any image in iphoto to my desktop and not get the exclamation point anymore.
    Message was edited by: rjduffy61

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original image - and that's why you can move it to the desktop.
    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 early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.

  • How to import images in iPhoto?

    I use iPhoto importing images from this same computer and from iPhone with iCloud. A problem I've always suffered also before buying iPhone was that I can't import images in iPhoto.
    Well, I can drag an image from, for example, the desktop, but if I delete that file on the desktop I won't be able to open that image in iPhoto, even if I've imported it. This is because of I don't know a way to "consolidate the library" in iPhoto (while I usually do it in iTunes), so iPhoto just manages my images, but it doesn't really import them.
    When, in iPhoto, I import a photo shooted with iPhone and showed in Photo Stream, that photo is really copied in the library, so in the computer, and I can delete the photo source, in fact if I delete that photo from Photo Stream that photo will remain however in iPhoto, and if I click on the high menu bar (FIle, Show Original ), a Finder window of the folder in which there is the copied photo will be opened. That finder is "hidden" in the stuff of the iPhoto Library (in Images folder of Mac), but it's not simply to go and find any photo in this way (folders and subfolders named with long numbers).
    So can I choose what way to use? The good of that second method is that iPhoto manage directly and really its photos because it "has" them, but the bad is the almost impossible way to find photos in that organization library (waster than iTunes media folder, that is clear). The good of the first method is that no automatic copies will be created because iPhoto just manage photos which remain in my folders, but the bad is that iPhoto doesn't manage them direclty, but depending on my folders and my files wherever and however they are, and I can't edit them because I would change the file that is used in iPhoto with an other different version.
    I think this is an annoying problem because there is a file with photos (i.e. the iPhoto Library) that contains copies of photos occuping memory while I don't know this is happening, because that copy is not announced, and simultaneously I have those photos of iPhoto free to be changed and removed with the risk of disappearing from the photos of the program.

    I can drag an image from, for example, the desktop, but if I delete that file on the desktop I won't be able to open that image in iPhoto, even if I've imported it
    That's an indication that you may have your library set up as a referenced library:
    Check the Advanced preferences in iPhoto to see if that checkbox is selected or not.  If it isn't checkec, check it and try importing agan. 
    To make sure all Photo Stream photos are automatically imported into your library set up iPhoto's PS preferences like this:
