Have iPhoto image titles been erased with Photos?

When I used iPhoto, I gave all my images explicit titles, and my albums were organised by those titles. I've now migrated to Photos, but all the images seem to be untitled, so I can no longer sort by those titles. Is there some way the titles can be retrieved, or does Photos not use user-defined image titles?

A little bit more exploration has revealed that the titles are not lost. If I select an image and 'get info', the title I gave appears - presumably that is the image filename. But to give the image that title back, I have to copy and paste. Is there any easy way of doing that for the 6000 images already in my Photos library?

I have been trying to watch tutorials on how layering works. All I want to do is this: I have one image of a radio with a white background. I need to have just the radio extracted, then on a new layer (white one/blank/plain) I need to copy and paste the image of the radio two times. How can I DO THIS!?!?!?! Thanks!

In Editor, go to the expert tab.
Open picture B, the one you wish to select the radio from to add to another picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the radio B on a separate layer.

What features should have an image to be used with OCR

Hello
everyone. I would like to know what
features should have an image to be used with OCR. I have managed to
implement the OCR (with the VDM module) but applying a filter that
turns me Threshold the image (bmp) to another in original black and
white, just so I can work. When I try from labview not allow me to
work with the original BMP file. Note the images are captured from a
webcam.
Thank you.

Thanks Musk. I have a
question, what should be the treatment he should give a color image to
convert TIFF finally, I mention this because the examples in Labview /
VDM / OCR use files in this format.
Thank you very
much.

How substitute iPhoto image titles for filenames?

Hello!
I have spent many, many hours giving intelligible titles to my photos in iPhoto.
I did not realise the distinction between "image title" and "filename".
In future I will change the filenames.
But I have this legacy of thousands of images with meaningless filenames.
Is there any easy way to substitute the titles for the filenames?
Is there a batch renamer which would be capable of extracting the title of an image so that I could then use it?
Thanks very much!

Whoa first things first:
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
If you are running a Managed Library then yes, those folders can go.
If you're xporting as Original I can't see why there would be any change in the file size. What export setting are you using?
On a broader note: you're used to working with files. iPhoto is different way of working and to grasp it you need to distinguish between the File and the Photo inside it. They are not the same thing.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.

TS4095 iPhoto quit unexpectedly and erased imported photos

After recently importing photos from my memory card into iPhoto I opted to erase pictures from memory stick because of limited space. When I clicked erase iPhoto quit unexpectedly and now my photos are not in my library or on the memory stick. Are they gone forever or are they floating around somewhere? Thanks.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Media Viewer - iPhoto image titles?

Hi,
In iWork '05 all iPhoto images in the media viewer were titled. This was extremely useful for me as I do commercial greeting card production using pages and use images achieved numerically in iPhoto for quick import into Pages when fulfilling orders.
But I have noticed that since upgrading to iWork '08, there are no longer titles under my images when viewed in the Media Browser.
Any ideas how to turn titles back on?

Hi Will,
Do a Control click on the photos then choose Display as list. Now you'll see three columns, Name, Date and Size. You have Show Columns that give you two more options, Dimensions and Kind
Hope this helps you
Sincerely,
RicD

My iPhoto images won't show, and Photo Library Repair will not open when I command-Option-click on the iPhoto icon.

Some of my iPhoto albums will not show, as below:
When I click on any of those individual albums, for a brief split second I can see the images displayed, but then they revert to this:
Then if I click on any of those images, this image appears:
I have real a lot of posts that say to click Command+Option while opening iPhoto and this will open the Photo Library Repair window, but... this is not happening. Each time I do it, iPhoto just opens as it normally does. I've tried about 10 times, closing iPhoto completely. I've tried through the dock icon and through the applications listing. Neither will open anything other than regular old iPhoto.
Can anyone help me and suggest what I may be doing wrong, or are there any alternative was to open Photo Library Repair so I can rebuild my library? I really don't want to lose all of those photos, especially since some are really important and irreplaceable.
Thanks.

Be sure you're holding the correct keys and that you're holding them long enough. Depress them before clicking on iPhoto and don't let go until the menu shows up.
If you don't want to lose those photos, make a back up now. Hopefully it's not too late.

Recently had to have our mac hd recovered. Now I no longer have iPhoto. Since it came with the mac when we purchased it, how can I get it restored without paying for it?

We recently had to have our mac serviced and restored. The hard drive was corrupted from an update. The mac has been restored but we no longer have iPhoto. The only option I see at Apple support is to purchase it again. Is there a way I can get it back free of charge, since we already paid for it?

You should be able to to to the App Store and download it again for free. If often will show a price but when clicked on will revert to Installing and not cost you.

I have iPhoto 11, and whenever I upload photos, it does not automatically split the photos into events.

This causes my photos to not show up in my events. I have to click "Show Event" myself. How do I set it to automatically put the photos into events? Also, once I DO get the pictures into events, then appear at the top, so I have to drag it all the way to the bottom of the events. How do I also set it to put the newest events at the bottom? Sorry if this is confusing....

All photo imported into iPhoto automatically go into a new event. If the photos are coming from a folder on your hard drive or other drive the Event name will be then same as the folder name. Otherwise the event will be titled Untitled Event.
The location of the new event within the other events will be determined by the EXIF dates of the photos being imported and how you have event sorting setup in iPhoto (View ➙ Sort Photos menu option).

I have iPhoto 9.1.5 & lost some photos...Help!

I was working on photos in my most recent event. When I finished, I scrolled through and found that 4 of my photos were gone and where they were ins now completely black. The file number is under each photo but cannot recover the photos. It almost looks like I took the picture with the lens cover on.
when I select the info. button it shows the details of the photo.
Does anyone have a clue what I can do to recover these photos?

That's not the way one should restore from Time Machine. To restore a library from TM go into the Pictures folder and then launch TM. Once in TM go to the date needed, select the library in the Pictures folder and use the Restore button.
Click to view full size
Since TM does'nt backup files that have not been modified or are not new dragging a library from the .backupdb folder that way could result in an incomplete library. To assure you're getting the full library use the method above.

I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down. How to solve?

I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again. Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go. I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others. The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.

Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

When you rebuild your iPhoto library does it erase all your photos

When you rebuild your iPhoto library does it erase your photos and my iPhoto keeps crashing i was wondering if there was a fix for this?

When you rebuild your library to be able to use the new version of iPhoto if that is what you are talking about, it will simply rebuild it so that the new version can access the photos that you already have on your computer. This will not affect the files in a way to delete them. It simply just makes it so that the new version can be compatible and use the photos that you have on your computer.

How to get IOS 5 iphoto images to photostream?

i am using an IPAD2 and am having trouble getting my edited IOS 5 iphoto images to upload to the photo stream.
To be more specific, here is what I am looking to do:
I am looking to upload my camera photos directly to my Ipad and then editing them with iphoto, and then having them backup to my photo stream. however, i cannot seem to get my edited photos to appear in photo stream.
This has prompted another question of mine: is icloud and photostream the same thing? or is photo stream separate of icloud? My Ipad backs up to iCloud every night and i'm not sure what is backing up, and then i also use PhotoStream (or trying to). Which is the true way to backup photos?
Thank you!

Greetings,
To make an edited image go to Photo Stream you need to share that image to the camera roll as detailed here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.0/#blnkee26bc1f. This can only be done 1 image at a time. If you would like to see the ability to send multiple images to the camera roll at the same time, let Apple know: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html
Photo Stream is part of iCloud. Learn more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
Learn about your iCloud backup and what it contains here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
Note: Photo Stream is not a backup. It is a way to make the last 1000 images consistent across multiple devices (as detailed in article HT4486 above). Make sure you have Photo Stream setup on a computer so that your images and imported to that computer or import your images directly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Hope that information is helpful.

Is there a way to change the pin color in iPhoto so I can pin my photos and places from those from others. i think it would be cool to see where my friends have also been but not mix it with mine. Thanks
