How can I drag multiple photos from iPhoto into a Word Document

I'm creating a collage of photos for a friend and in order to get the photos to the right size and print them without trouble I need to drag all of the photos from a certain album in iPhoto into an empty word document. Is there a way to do this? If not, why not?

It's best to drag one photo at a time from the open iPhoto window into the open Word document window.  Resize the photo.  Then drag the next one and resize.
If you have iWork a better solution is to use Pages.  That way you can resize the drag the photos into any location on page, even overlapping other photos, whereas in Word it has to be on a separate line or small enought to fit two on a line. You can access the iPhoto Library from the Media Browser in Pages without iPhoto  having to be open.

    Choose it from where?  See this user tip by Terence Devlin for how to access photos for use outside of iPhoto: How to Access Files in iPhoto

  • How can I import selected photos from iPhoto into Premiere Elements on the Mac?

    I run Premiere Elements on a Mac (Lion O/S). I have more than 13,000 photos in iPhoto that I would like to be able to access from Premiere (to include shots relevant to the video I am compiling).  How do I do this?
    I also have Photoshop Elements but not yet installed it since I do not want to replicate all these photos - will consume too much hard drive space.
    I look forward to your advice.
    Thanks

    The way I do this on my iMac : I select the required photos in iPhoto, then I export them on a specific folder I create for the video,
    generally a subpart of the area where I have captured my HDV footage with Premiere Elelements.
    Then, I import these specific pictures in my Premiere Elements project.
    For Photoshop Elements, it has 2 parts : the organizer of your library, which requires to create a copy of your photos, and the modifier
    which you can use as a complement to iPhoto only to modify your pictures with  possibilities given by Photoshop.
    As I have enough space on external hard drive, I use Photoshop and iPhoto to have permanently a back-up copy of my pictures.
    It was my choice related to my configuration.
    Bonne chance.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

    Contacts has a space for a photo.  At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
    How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?

    How can I copy a photo from iphoto to PReview to make it smaller for uploading to a site that requires a smaller image?

    I don't think you need Preview.
    Select the image and use File->export and you have full control over the size and compression.

  • How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want?

    How can I get the photos from iPhoto copied to a disk in the order I want??

    To ensure a custom ordering, sort the files in an album and rename the files with a sequentially numbered filename.
    File > Export > Version/Originals
    Then use "Filename > Sequential"
    or "Filename > Album name with index"

  • How can I download my photos from iphoto to the external hard disk? thanks!

    How can I download my photos from iphoto to the external hard disk? thanks!

    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk or new Mac:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How do I select multiple photos from iPhoto and upload them to a Facebook album?

    I have transferred ALL my photos from my iPhone into my Mac. They are now in iPhoto. I recently created an album and I want to put the photos from iPhoto into it, but not all the photos. I have quite a lot of photos to put in, and I don't know how to select multiple photos and put them in the album. Help me please!

    Create  an album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and drag the 4 photos into it.  Open the albume and select all four photos and click on the Share button.  Next select Email and go from there.

  • Can't drag & drop photos from iPhoto to Finder.

    (I'm using iPhoto 9.4.2, mac OS 10.8.3)
    I can drag & drop photos from iPhoto to the Finder once. It successfully copies however many photos I had selected to the folder I wanted them copied to. But then if I try to drag and drop any more photos, it won't let me - the cursor has a red bubble for qty. of photos and a gray NO symbol (circle with a line through it) where the Copy symbol should be (green bubble with plus sign in it).
    Don't want to do the "Export" feature - I want to drag & drop.
    Tried restarting iPhoto. Tried restarting my computer. Software is all up to date.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    Sorry - but that is not currently an option - drag and drop (which is not a good way under any conditions since you have no control and simply get the preview of the photo) is either broken or has been removed - in any case no matter what you want it is not an option
    The only current option (maybe the only long term option - no one here knows) is to export - this is equally as easy and gives you total control of the quality of the exported photos, the metadata included and is much easier to place photos within a finder folder structure

  • How can I back up photos from iPhoto using terminal?

    Can I backup my photos from iPhoto using terminal or any other way(to a portable hard drive) as I have turned my laptop on and it has came to a screen giving me the option to back up from time machine, reinstall IOS or clean my drives, but neither are working so I believe I am going to have to erase my whole hard drive and potentially get a new one, but my only problem is that I haven't backed up my iPhoto images before so is there anyway I can do this?

    You are booted from Recovery Drive. Have you tried restarting so you boot normally?
    See these articles for using terminal to move

  • How can I copy a picture from Iphoto to a text document?  Currently when I drag and drop the picture is truncated.

    hello Apple community.
    How can I copy a picure from Iphoto to a blank text document(not Word, but text doc)? Currently when I do this, the picture is truncated. This is more difficult than using a PC! there has to be a better way to copy pictures or share pictures!
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    thank you for your reply.
    I am using the TextEdit on Mac as I do not have Word. When I paste an Iphoto, the picture is truncated horizontially, so you only see part of the picture.
    Yes, the picture is small enough to fit on the page.
