How do I import a few iPhoto pictures?

I just want to work on a few iPhoto pics.  Is there a way to import just these pics without making a copy of all of the iPhoto pics?
Thanks,

It seems a bit of a strange question, unless you are experimenting with a trial version. Most users would stick with LR, which is much more powerful than iPhoto, for managing their entire Library. 
Otherwise you can select a few thumbnails in iPhoto and export copies to the desktop, or preferably create a new folder from which you can import into LR. From the iPhoto menu use:
File >> Export (or Cmd+E)
Under the “File Export” tab you can chose to export as jpeg, PNG, tiff or Original. It’s best to use original from a raw file which will be as it came from the camera without any editing.

    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 images from iphoto with the albums and folders?

    How can I import images from iphoto without losing the albums and folders I already created?

    In Organizer, you can choose File>get Photos and Videos>From iPhoto.
    Importing from iPhoto'09: If in iPhoto, you organize your media using photo references, that is, the media actually does not reside inside iPhoto library package, and are referenced through original locations, Organizer does not create new copies of those media and just refer to the original location. but if your iPhoto media reside inside iPhoto library, Organizer creates a copy all media in your pictures folder, also imports albums and tags and other metadata.
    Importing from iPhoto'011: In this case, Organizer always creates a copy of your photos in your pictures folder which resides inside iPohto package. It does not import the albums and other metadata like star rating, caption etc.
    Hope this information helps!

    Yes, that's for network backups only. 
    What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
    You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
    You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
    You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea).  See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.

  • 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 do I import a second iPhoto library into Lightroom?

    I have multiple libraries in iPhoto. When I follow the instructions:  User/Pictures/iPhoto library/Show package contents/Master /Duplicate/drag to desktop/drag into Lightroom, I have no problem importing these images. When I choose the file titled...Pictures/iPhoto Galapagos I am unable to show package contents/Master and duplicate the images in this file. What am I doing wrong? How do I import this second library into Lightroom?
    Thanks

    Try exporting versions from iPhoto to the desktop or create a named folder in Finder. They will include any adjustments you have made. Then bring into LR using:

  • How to effectively import photos from iPhoto

    I had a pretty large iPhoto library and try to keep it under control by exporting photos into folders on an external HD. I also have mobile me albums from multiple computers live.
    I tried importing photos from iPhoto into Aperture and encounter problems. Not only do events come in as projects, but a huge number of what I thought were deleted photos from those exported events, Mobile Me albums, etc were imported. It seems that this is clogging everything up because Aperture is running so slowly. Also, I feel like something is wrong because if I open up a photo in Aperture, it takes several seconds to become clear.
    I do not understand why it is running so slowly. Any tips on how to organize my new library and how Aperture stores the files.
    Thanks for the help

    I'm not an Aperture expert, but I would empty the trash in your iPhoto library (open iPhoto, right-click on the trash and empty), and then import. I believe that Aperture's projects are equivalent to iPhoto's events. It can take time for not only the import but for Aperture to process everything and generate previews, etc...
    I imported about 12,200 pictures and 300 videos on a dual quad-core Mac Pro and it took a couple hours to import everything and finish all the processing.

  • How can I import my old iPhoto library into my new version of iPhoto?

    Just purchased new iMac and am trying to import my old iPhoto library, but keep getting Unreadable Files message. I have the library file and see that it shows up as an iPhoto Library under the Kind column.

    Now that you're tried to open the correct library once see if you can perfor the following:  apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    Only for 30 days.  If you have your Mac and iPhone signed into the same iCloud account and have Photo Stream enabled on each device
    AND have iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences set as follows:
    the photos you take on your iPhone will automatically be imported into your iPhoto Library.

  • How do I import photos from iphoto to photos?

    I'd just like to know how to import my photos from the iPhoto app to the new photo app?

    I had the same issue.  When I started up the Photos app it did not automatically start the import from my iPhoto library like it did on my work Mac.  Turns out the Photos app was seeing two iPhoto libraries.  One on my main disk and one on my Carbon Copy back-up disk.   I quite the Photos app and restarted this time holding down the Option-Alt key.  This allowed me to select the correct iPhoto Library for importing.
    As a side note after I quite the Photos app I moved the Photos library to the trash (since I did not start using it yet) so that I would not get a Photos Library 2 file.
