Help-Add image to iPhoto

Hi,
While displaying a picture or photo in Safari,
right-clicking on that picture pops up the contextual menu.
When selecting 'Add Image to iPhoto Library',
iPhoto opens but no picture is added.
is there a solution to my problem?
thanks for any suggestions

Well given that we don't know what version of OS X you're on, what version of Safari you're using and it's the iPhoto forum and not the Safari one, the best I can suggest is that you try repair permissions with Disk Utility

Add image to iPhoto library doesn't open IPhoto screen

OS 10.4.10
Ibook G4
1.5 GB Ram
iPhoto 5.0.4
Hi,
When I want to capture a picture, whether from the web or elsewhere, I usually press control-click and a pop down window appears with various choices, one of which is "Add image to iPhoto library". Ordinarily, what happens is that the iPhoto screen appears, says "loading photos" and I see the image I have added.
Today, I have pressed control-click, "Add image to iPhoto library", but the iPhoto window didn't open. The application opened because the tool bar (menu?) at the top was iPhoto, and said so at the far left corner.
The weird thing then was that when I did get the iPhoto screen to open (and I don't remember what I did to do that) all the pictures I thought I hadn't downloaded, were there.
I admit I have been having some weird things going on in all my programs and in the finder, such as lots of the beach ball, and the stopped watch; putting the cursor into a line of text not to select but to write, and the word and/or the line got selected. Other things too. But iPhoto has been reliable up to today. I'm pleased that I /did/ get the pictures after all, but I'd like to know why the iPhoto screen didn't appear as usual.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Rafael

My concern is that your issue is not with iPhoto, but a more generalised one - especially when I read

I would have that Hard Disk checked, this could be the beginnings of a hardware issue.

How do I disable "Add Image to iPhoto Library?"

When you right click on an image in Safari, it gives you the option to add the image to your iPhoto Library. I never ever want to do this. How can I remove that context menu item? I click on it accidentally all the time and it's really annoying. I really want to just remove it.

Thanks for clarifying. Good luck with getting that changed. See http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/Tools/Conceptual/Safari ExtensionGuide/ExtensionsOverview/ExtensionsOverview.html for a possible disabling method.
If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

"Add image to iPhoto library" without iPhoto loading up?

Hi guys, is this possible? I like the option to just throw any photo I see into my iPhoto library but it's annoying that iPhoto loads up to do it.

Adding images to iphoto library??

i was just wondering.. when you push CTRL + MOUSE CLICK ( i dont know what to call it??) on an image on a website, it says "add image to iphoto library"... i notice that these pictures go into my iphoto program.. but where does the file save to? like if i wanted to use them later?!?! i am very confused.. please help!
and also, when i save pictures files into the iphoto folder (in the finder), they don't show up in the actual iphoto program??
sorry for the dumb questions!!

where does the file save to? like if i wanted to use them later?
There are several ways to access a file that is inside your iPhoto Library:
* Drag and drop - from iPhoto to your desktop or to certain applications will create a copy of the photo outside of your library
* Control-click (or right-click) on a selected photo in your iPhoto library and choose "Show File" to see a Finder window with that file selected.
* File > Export > File Export selected photo(s) to export a copy. This is the most flexible choice, with the option to downsize or rename the files during the export. Great for preparing files for uploading to websites or for storing on CD or DVD. Exporting always creates a copy; iPhoto retains the files inside its database.
when i save pictures files into the iphoto folder (in the finder), they don't show up in the actual iphoto program??
The concept with iPhoto is that you allow it to manage the files. You stay out of its filing system and manipulate your photos via the iPhoto application. This means that to get photos into your library, you must import them. (As Niel said, "consult" iPhoto.) Saving directly into your iPhoto Library folder does not work. Either open iPhoto and choose File > Import, or drag the photo's icon into the iPhoto window.
For more information, try the Apple iPhoto multimedia tutorial here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/.
No question is dumb except the one that goes unasked. If you need more help, don't hesitate to post.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them. Report back with the results.

Add Image in the navigation bar of Help page

Hi,
I wanted to add image next to to the Search in the Help page navigation bar as in snapshot below:
I wanted to add an image i.e the the logo next to above button in navigation bar. I tried adding , howevr could only add as Header, not right in the navigation pane. Correct me if I m wrong, the navigation control can be configured while generation web output. I coudnt find any other option to do this.
Please let me your inputs on this.
Thanks,
Pallavi

Hi all
Sorry Colum, I think you are wrong. That looks exactly like a WebHelp Search dialog.
Pallavi, I am thinking the answer for you may be a simple one. Use the WebHelp skin editor. There you should see an option to choose the image used for the Go button.
I'm not exactly sure what version you are using. But I'll insert a screen capture of RoboHelp 7 below.
My thought here is that you could create an image that includes your company logo along with the Go button. Then use that image for the Go button. Sure, both the company logo as well as the Go button would be clickable, but it should do the job, no?
Cheers... Rick

Help on Quicktime and iphoto

I will try to make this short. I always was able to import and watch short home movies directly in iphoto...however, once i upgraded to snow leopard, I was unable to do this and now must drag the image in iphoto to quicktime to watch it. A pain, but it worked. Now though, I uploaded a movie from my flip camera to iphoto for mobile me, and I can't watch it. I try to watch on mobile me and it tells me quicktime wont work. I have quicktime 10. the movie file is a mp4 whatever that means... any help is appreciated!

You noticed this 6 months ago. Have you found a work around for this? If that happened to me I would have rectified it when the problem started. Do you have NO SCRIPT added to your Safari or something similar? I have that add-on in my Firefox,and until I allow the url I'm looking at I can't get anything to work until I click NO SCRIPT to allow it. Sorry I can't suggest anything for your iPhoto.

Could someone please help me import my iphoto photos into aperture? They are now just referenced files.

Hello,
I am a longtime iphoto user and installed aperture this past december. At that time I imported all my iphoto photos as referenced files and kept them in their iphoto location. Since that time, every photo I took was uploaded directly into aperture and stored there. I am now comfortable enough with aperture that I would like to use it as my primary photo viewer / manipulator and would like to merge my two libraries into one single aperture library. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to do this.
I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect. I then tried reimporting my iphoto library, however, this simply duplicated many of my events (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner). Both of these attempts did nothing to combine my aperture projects and my iphoto events (which are now seen as a seperate iphoto tab under projects). I am aware that I can now switch to my iphoto library within aperture in version 3.3, but I just want everything stored in one place and in my aperture library. Can someone please help me with this?
The only thing I can think of is deleting all of the iphoto events from aperture and then reimporting them, but I am scared I will either delete something permenantly or that they will simply reimport as referenced files and remain within iphoto.
Please help!
Thanks,
- Mike

Mike,
I am not quite clear about the current state of your iPhoto and Aperture libraries. It looks like you have plenty of broken links to referenced masters in either library. Whatever you do now, it is very important to ensure that you have a working backup, both of your iPhoto Library and your Aperture library, before you try a major reconstruction.
I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect.
In what way did it not have any effect? From the effects you are describing, it looks like all your original master images have been removed from the iPhoto Library and are now inside the Aperture library as managed masters - at least, this would explain, why trying to import the iPhoto library resulted in duplicated projects (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner). You removed the original masters from the iPhoto library, and now you could not import it, since the originals are now in Aperture.
For me it looks, like you simply need to delete the iPhoto images marked with an exclamation mark, for these are already bound to images that you imported earlier. It is perfectly o.k. that the recently imported iPhoto Library appears in a separate section of the projects in your Library Inspector Panel. Each iPhoto event should appear as a project. Aperture will put them there, so you can find them easily.
You should check now, if the originally imported images, that you imported as referenced, are now managed. If you enable badge overlays you should see no longer any arrows on the thumbnails of your earlier imports. Also, if you select one of these images, you should be able to toggle between original master and version by typing the "M" key.
Define some smart albums (File > New > Smart album) based on the file status: Add a rule: File status is.
One smart album: File Status is referenced
One smart album: File Status is managed
One smart album: File Status is missing
The first album should be empty.
The second album should show all your images you originally imported from iphoto as managed, and that you recently consolidated.
The third album should show your recent import - the images imported from iPhoto after you consolidated the originals to Aperture and removed these images from iPhoto.
Post back, when you have checked the file status of your images in Aperture and we can be sure were the images are exactly.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
The problem is that when I keep the logo as a watermark, the pdf is not adjusting itself to include the logo as header.
But if I add a header text via Tools -> Headers and Footers, the pdf is adjusting itself so that the header text is at the beginning , not overlapping with the contents of pdf.
But while using logo as watermark, some times overlapping of the pdf contents and logo is happening.
Is there any way to add a logo in the Header and Footer via the option in Tools -> Headers and Footers
Thanks,
Vidhya

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

However, when I exit it on the timeline, it is shown. All I did as drag it from the iPhoto column and place on at the beginning. I would really appreciate someones help because I really need to be able to place images onto my projects. Thanks!

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
