How can I copie photos from iphoto to my desktop

I want to copie some photos with drag&drop from iPhoto to my desktop. But somehow I can not place it there. I can grab the photo with my mouse, but I can not place it on the desktop. What can I do to make it work this way?

Can you export the file using the File-> Export command? If not, do you get any error message?

    How can I move photos from iPhoto to Finder?

    It is better to export (file menu ==> export) since when you export you control exactly what you get - see the user tip on exporting for details
    When you drag and drop you get the current preview with limited Metadata

    How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

    How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library. 
    2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto. 
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate. 
    5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
    7  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.

  • How can i import photos from iphoto 9.2.3 to 9.6

    I am migrating from a 2009 ibook to a Macbook pro 13.3 retina. How can  can I import photos from iPhoto 9.2.3 library to  the 9.6 iPhoto.
    I am running 10.6.8 snow leopard on the ibook which has 4Gb of memory.
    I tried but it just loaded icons to the 9.6 library.
    I am reluctant to go to Yosimite on the ibook and it seems this would not solve it anyway.

    You don't import one library to another.  Just copy the library from the iBook to the Pictures folder on shout new MacBook Pro. If you have another library already on the MBP rename it so you don't overwrite it with the old library.
    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the newly copied library and let iPhoto convert it to the new version.
    Do you have photos in the library on the new MacBook Pro that you want to combine with the older library?

  • How can i load photos from iphoto onto camera

    Hi,
    for some reason I can not load photos from iphoto back onto my canon camera anymore...
    situation: canon camera is connected to mac book pro. I have imported photos from the camera into iPhotos.
    unfortunately deleted them from the camera.
    now i would like to transfer them back onto the camera.
    It does not let me drag and drop the photos from iphoto to the camera.
    and I can not find a way to more the photos back.
    can anyone help?
    Thanks.
    k.

    The folks in the iPhoto community forum wait for questions like this. In any case from iPhoto select your photos. Then select export. Navigate to your USB sick and that's it.

  • How can I download photos from iphoto on my imac to my new macbook?

    How do I download photos from iphoto on my imac to my new macbook?

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • How can I upload photos from IPhoto to Facebook?

    How do I upload photos from IPhoto into my Facebook account?

    I am unable to upload photos to Facebook on my iPad Air and my iPhone 5s since I updated my devices to iO/S8. I hope Apple comes up with a fix pretty soon. I love iPhoto and would not like to resort to using something like Amizon Cloud Drive. Not unless I had to because iPhoto is not working with Facebook..

  • How can I import photos from iPhoto into a power point presentation

    I would like to take a group of photos from iphoto and import them into a power point(for mac) presentation- the PP for windows allows you to take a large number of pics and make a "photo album presentation" but can figure how to do it in Mac.

    If you don't know how to use iPhoto, launch iPhoto on your Mac, and select iPhoto Help from the help drop down menu.
    Read the article that KP has posted above and take a look at this below.
    In the photo below, I have a checkmark next to sync photos. The folder from which the photos are syncing is iPhoto on my Mac. You can also see that I have clicked - selected albums, events, and faces automatically. These events, albums, etc will sync every time the way I have this set up.
    I can also add new events or albums when I sync if I choose to do so. You have to select the other albums, events, etc. that you want to sync by putting a checkmark in the box next to the event and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes and they will transfer to your iPad.

  • How can I transfer photos from iPhoto on an iMac to iPhoto on a macbook

    How can I transfer my photos from iphoto on an imac to iphoto on a macbook, both have same operating software.

    Depends on what exactly you want to do and on what version of iphoto you have on each
    To move selected events from one to the other pruchase iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and use it to move the photos or events
    To move the entire iPhoto library
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • How can I move photos from iphoto to external hard drive?

    My internal is full and I'm getting those messages to clean up the drive.  I've determined that my photos need to leave!  Can I move photos from my Air to the hard drive external and still view them?
    Thanks

    Make sure the external drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and is connected with a wired connection, quit iPhoto, drag the iPhoto library to the EHD intact as a single entity and launch iPhoto while depressing to option key. Use the resulting select library window to select the new location. Be sure the EHD is available prior to launching iPhoto

  • How can I email photos from iphoto '11?

    I am having trouble emailing photos from iphoto '11.  When I put the recipients address in, it disappears when I click "send" and I get some message about "key chain" and iphoto wants to use my confidential information????    What I ended up doing is dragging and dropping the photo into the email, but I don't want to have to do that all the time.  I just got this MacBook Pro and iphoto program so am experiencing a learning curve.  I must be doing something wrong.  Is it safe to "always allow" this "key chain" info?
    Thanks, you wonderful community.
    Sheila
    Update!   I just tried this again by "allowing" for this one photo.  I'm not sure what I'm allowing, but the photo was sent this time.  Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Sheila

    Sharing you are allowing the email to be sent.
    Your SMTP has a password and it is confidential, if you do not agree it does not have access to that password.

  • How can I import photos from iPhoto '09 to Elements Organizer 10 while keeping the tags attached?

    I have spent a ridiculously long time tagging photos in my iPhotos but I would now like to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer and preserve all the work I had done.
    From Adobe's help website (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS73c05ee9864270ea-417df45c129593bfa05 -8000.html) it says I can import the tags along with the photos but does not explain how:
    "Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library"
    When I follow the steps outlined on the website my photos are imported but there are no tags attached to them. I am particularly interested in keeping my facial tags but I suppose it would be useful to know how to keep other keyword tags and ratings as well.
    There was a previous question put out on the forums similar to this but it was unresolved and the person decided to just leave everything in iPhoto. I really would prefer to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer. I don't like the way iPhoto organizes photos but I had to deal with it for several years before I bought Elements Photoshop with built-in Organizer.
    Please Please help!
    Many thanks

  • How can I get photos from iPhoto to Photoshop Elements?

    I installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my new MacBook Pro because I want to do some additional editing.  I have 800 pictures that I downloaded into iPhoto before I purchased PSE.
    How can I open the pictures in PSE?
    The instructions on the PSE website do not seem to refer to the version of iPhoto I have (the screens and menus are different.

    I used this advice and was able to open the some photos in iPhoto and edit in PSE.   I would like to save them to another file, outside iPhoto.   Is that possible?
    Sure - save As istead of save - then the edited [photo will not be in iPhoto but will be where you put it
    I would also like to open PSE and open the files from PSE, possible?
    You can - use the open command and the media browser - look in the lower left hadn corner of the open windos under media  ==> photos  ==> iPhoto - but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Perhaps I need to move the photos out of iPhoto and then open with PSE.
    Again you can do that - select the photo in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) and work on the exported photos - again
    but why use iPhoto at all if you do not want your photos in iPhoto - if you do the edits this way you will not have them in iPhoto
    Just now learning Mac, so I think I may still be thinking in PC.
    It is not so much Mac vs PC but database photo management vs file management - the iPhoto database structure is infinantly more powerful that an file approach like you used on a PC

  • How can I pull photos from iphoto into Photoshop to edit them?

    Uploaded some photos on my new Apple Mini (I'm converting from Windows to Mac) and they uploaded fine - but then I couldn't see how to get them from iphoto into Photoshop to edit them. Surely they must automatically save but if so, where??

    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..
    NOTE: 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:
    Note:  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.
