How can I save an image into iPhoto?

My goal is to save some pictures from Facebook into iPhoto. I have an "event" or album or whatever in iPhoto that I want to add these pictures to. When I save the picture iPhoto is not an option; I tried to copy and paste, that didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Some web sites it's possible to drag a copy of the picture off the site and drop it onto the Desktop area, thus making a file which can be Imported into iPhoto's Library.
Some web sites the images are part of the background and thus can't be removed, but you can use
Command Shift 4
to draw a rectangle around the image and click, a screenshot will appear on the Desktop.

  • How can I "save as" image in iPhoto to thumb drive?

    I am most comfortable on my PC, so let me ask this question this way:  How can I "save as" an image in iPhoto to a thumb drive? 
    I have 50-plus photos I want to transfer from the iPhoto library to my thumb drive.  But when I try to export an image it does not allow me to select the thumb drive as an option, even though the little thumb drive is stuck in the iMac's rear just fine.
    Thanks for any and all suggestions.

    THis is iMarkM again.
    when I drag an image from iPhoto file to icon for my thumb drive, sometimes the image drops into thumb drive, other times nothing happens.  What's the best way to drag and drop without creating a clutter of thumbnail images on the computer screen surrounding or on top of the icon for the thumb drive?

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
    If you want to back up the Photos only:
    Export them using the File -> Export command.

  • When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

    When I try to save an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

  • How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg?

    How can I save an image I have created in Pages as a jpeg? The image has both a photo and various text boxes. I would like to use it in one of the Photocard websites but they only accept jpeg. Any easy solutions please.

    Hold command shift 4 and draw a box around what you want and then click again, on your desktop a .png file will appear.
    To convert it to jpeg, open it in Preview and Save as.
    if you want all your screenshots to be jpg, download the free Tinkertool and make the change.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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 can I save my images like a "wedding photographer" does?

    I have a Pixma PRO-100. . . with a Windows 8.1 PC. . . and printing through Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.
    I just printed some wedding pictures of my daughter - which I got from the "wedding photographer"... when I printed them - they were an exact match to what I saw on my screen (which I've calibrated)... and dead on crisp, great quality.
    I'm wondering what a wedding photographer does to their images to make them so "solid" in printing.  How do they save them?
    when I print something from a my files, (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) - there always seems to be a color or quality problem? Never a match.  It takes several adjustments and print samples before I get what I want. 
    Is the ICC Profile a problem - or How can I save my images like a wedding photog does?  So they print exact?

    " ... (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) ... "
    I suspect there are some minor differences you are not seeing and/or noticing on screen.  But right off, no real wedding photographer will shoot in anything except RAW.  You should be using RAW, only, too.  The RAW file to start with has way more info in it than any jpeg does.
    Next I would bet your wedding photographer does some tweaking to highlights and shadows, plus s ome other stuff that you are not.  In other words he is getting the photos ready for printing. Remember printing on paper and "printing for on screen" is two different things.

  • How can i save a sequence into a folder in premiere pro cc

    How can i save a sequence into a folder in premiere pro cc

    Your question is confusing. It could mean a few different things.
    A. If you just want to have the sequence in a particular bin in the Project panel, then drag it there.
    B. If you mean you want to save a sequence so that all of the necessary files are in one folder on your hard drive, simply create a new project and import the sequence into your new project. Then use the Project Manager to gather all of your files together.

  • How can i save a folder into my airport time capsule (2TB)

    How can i save a folders into my Airport Time Capsule (TB)

    Saving data on the same disk drive that Time Machine is using for backup is not a good idea.
    By having the extraneous data on that disk drive in the Time Capsule that will made the job of cleaning up for backup that much more difficult for Time Machine and usually causing it to fail when it can't clean up properly.
    In addition any extraneous data on the disk drive being used for Time Machine can't be backed up so it can be protected from lose.

  • How can i save some image- profiles in the memory (RAM) of a system?

    How can i save some  image- profiles in the memory (RAM) of a system?
    (and then I want to read out the memory and save the profiles in a HDD, but first it has to write in a memory, because the write-speed is better by the memory )

    There must be an underlying premise for this question that I'm missing... When you run code everything is in memory... Programming 101. Create a variable, set a value to it, and it's in memory. Create a front panel control set a value to it and it's in memory. Data carried by the wires you use to connect your code is in memory. Or are you asking about controlling how that memory is managed - physical vs swap file?

  • How can I insert an image into an mov file in iMovie while keeping the background music?

    I have a short MOV file movie clip that has background music but one of the images (it's a static element with text) is incorrect. How can I replace the image but keep the backgroup the same? Also what size would the image need to be to properly fit?
    Thank you!

  • Can't import any images into iPhoto

    Hello,
    I am on my honeymoon and trying to offload pictures from my camera but have found that I can not import any pictures into iPhoto. I am unable to import any file, not just the ones on my camera. I have tried jpgs, gifs, and pngs from various sources and none of them import.
    So far I have tried holding down option and creating a new library, deleting the plists, rebooting, and reapplying the latest iPhoto update. Does anyone else have suggestions for me to try?

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
