How do I import Kodak Photo CD files into iphoto 09

I have a number of old Kodak Photo CD disks that use .pcd file format - how can I import these photos

You will need an application that can convert those pcd files into one that iPhoto supports, mainly jpeg. GraphicConverter is supposed to support many, many formats and might just support the pcd. If so you could use it to convert them to jpegs.
There's an automator workflow that I've put into an application that will take many image files and convert them into jpeg with the RGB color profile. I've never tried it on the Kodak files but you can give it a try. It's called +*Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile*+ and can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar. Make a copy of a couple of files and see if it will work. If so then you can batch convert folders of the files at once by dragging them onto the application.
I believe GC can do batch conversions but am not familiar with the application.

  • How can I import psd photos from Elements into iPhoto?

    I cannot import psd photos into iPhoto without saving them to the desktop, which is a real hassle (hundreds of photos).  Am I doing something incorrectly?  Thanks for any advice.

    I may be preaching to the choir here but this might be of help to you:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    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
    Click to view full size
    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 9 or later the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    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:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (click on the Edit button) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe?

    How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe via FME and have oracle spatial draw the map without problems?
    So far I've got to the stage where I can import the data, spatially index it (in oracle 9i) and get my SVG (scaleable vector graphics) application to view the map.
    The problem is that countries that have more than one polygon (more than one row in the database) do not draw properly.
    When I view the Map Info tab file in the FME viewer I can see that the data is fine, but I can also see that some of the polygons used to draw a country are donugts and some aren't.
    This seems to cause a problem when I import the data into oracle spatial as I don't know if a row in the table needs to be inserted as an independent SDO_GEOMETRY or if it should form part of a larger SDO_GEOMETRY (as in 2 or more rows make up the polygon shape for a country).
    I have a feeling that I'm not using FME correctly, because at the moment I have to import the tab file into Oracle then re-insert the data into a spatially formatted table (one with a spatial index) - I get the impression that FME should do that for me but as I'm new to this I don't really know.
    Any Help welcome :|
    Tim

    Tim,
    MapInfo has a free utility called EasyLoader that allows you to upload a table directly to Oracle. EasyLoader creates the geometries and spatial index. You can download it free from http://www.mapinfo.com/products/download.cfm?ProductID=1044

  • How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

    How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

    Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
    1) Open iMovie
    2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
    3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
    4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
    5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
    6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
    7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

  • How do I import a SPSS .sav file into SQL 2008 r2 using SSIS

    Hi there,
    Like the title says, I'm trying to import an SPSS .SAV file into an SQL 2008 R2 database using SSIS.
    I've tried a few things, but i cant seem to get it to work properly. I'm hoping there's someone out there who could point me in the right direction.
    I've tried the following:
    Tried the IBM step by step manual (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v6r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Faccess_odbc.htm)
    --Couldnt folow this guide because I didnt have the SPSS MR DM-2 OLE DB Provider.
    Tried installing the provider using (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Fdts_troubleshooting.htm) as a guide to download the provider listed (www-03.ibm.com/software/products/nl/spss-data-model).
    --This didnt work, I still could not see the provider listed after install and rebooting the server.
    Tried to get the file as CSV (Company couldnt provide it in CSV or another format)
    The server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, has the Data Collection Data Model installed on it with SQL Server 2008 R2.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction they could make my day!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Importing existing photos from folders into iPhoto ends up duplicating files

    I am new to the Mac and iPhoto and am trying to test some things out with iPhoto.  I have copied exisiting photos from my old PC into the Mac Pro in various folders and now want to import them into iPhoto.  However, it seems when I do that, I end up with duplicate files .... with the original in a /pictures/folder and the iPhoto version buried deep in a master folder in the iPhoto library.  Is there a way I can easily import these existing photos into iPhoto without ending up with duplicates?  I realize it's better to have two copies than one but will actually have two or three back up copies too.  Any advice appreciated!  thanks!

    That is how it is supposed to work. iPhoto will be the photo manager and will also manage all image files. If you are using iPhoto forget about the extra folders with image files in Pictures and use only iPhoto to access the photos.
    See the user tips on how to access the photos in iPhoto from other applications:  (iPhoto for Mac)
    How to Access Files in iPhoto
    iPhoto and File Management
    Exporting From iPhoto
    If you do not want a photo manager and prefer the Finder, use PICASA.  But give iPhoto a chance. It is very versatile and in the long run much saver than letting image files sitting around in open folders. You have always access to your photos from other applications using the provided tools, like the Media Browser.

    It isn't only to Outlook 2013, other versions of Outlook cannot access the .dbx files directly.

  • How do I import a Premiere Pro file into After Effects

    So I'm an editor, I cut trailers and TV spots. I enjoy making my title cards on After Effects because it gives me a lot of options but I'm having difficulty. How do I import / edit a Premiere Pro file into After Effects? I imported the project file but the whole thing was a mess and nothing made sense. Can anyone explain this process to me?
    By the way I used CS5.5 versions of the software.

    It actually works better if you go the other way... link an AE comp into your Premiere project.

  • Importing Kodak .KDC RAW files into Aperture 2.1.4?

    Is there a file format description file I can add to the Application Support folder to get Aperture to read Kodak >KDC raw files? I can open dierct in Adobe PS but would like to use Aperture as an intermediary App to cull and also I sometimes prefer setting some adjustments in Aperture.

    Aperture, actually OS X, goes by camera make and model not by file. The reason being that RAW files from the same manufacturer with the same file extension but from different camera models can and often do have different formats.
    So it's not possible to talk about adding a certain manufactures file or extension you need to specify the camera make and model. Then you can see what version of Aperture and Camera RAW bundle you need to accomplish that.
    See http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html for the list of RAW cameras currently supported. The only Kodak that shows up is the DCS Pro/SLR n which was supported starting back with Aperture 2 in Tiger or Leopard.

  • Importing avi and mp4 files into iPhoto

    I just finished importing my PC photo library into iPhoto and I ran into a snag.
    iPhoto does not import video files in *.avi or *mp4 format.
    On my old PC photo library, I have video clips taken into mostly avi format with older digital cameras, and which are stored in the same photo directories by date. When I realized that I could not sync avi files to my iOS devices, I used a conversion program to convert the the avi files to mp4 format, and was able to sync these to my iOS devices.
    Now apparently iPhoto does not recognize these mp4 files. I would like to have my video clips in iPhoto so that I can sync them as needed to my iOS devices through iTunes and also sometimes use them for video editing in iMovie. Within iMovie, I see where there is a link to the iPhoto video library... so somehow I have to get these into a format recognized by iPhoto.
    Can anyone recommend a method that will accomplish this? I assume I will have to convert the avi/mp4 files to some other format. Is there a utility that will extract out the video files from my hundreds of photo directories and let me convert them to the accepted format by iPhoto, preferably keeping the time/date stamp intact?

    Check over on MacUpdate for file converters.

  • Importing Nikon RAW .nef files into iPhoto

    I am using iPhoto 8.0.3. I can import RAW .nef files from my D90 without a problem. I also scan my older slides/negs using a CoolScan V and saving those files as RAW .nef format. Problem is that iPhoto does not recognize the .nef files that are scanned. Anybody have some thoughts? I can convert the scanned files into jpg using Nikon View and then bring them in to iPhoto, but would prefer to leave them in the RAW format so I don't have replicant files all over the place.

    iPhoto will only work with RAW files on this list

    Unfortunately there are no Scanners on the list.

  • Importing Windows Creative Memories Files into iPhoto

    I just got my wife a Macbook for Christmas and have successfully imported almost everything from her old PC.

Does anyone know how I can import this into iPhoto so the old work is not lost?

  • I can not import my photos from iphone into iPhoto

    hi,
    I've amassed around 18Gbs of photos and videos on my iphone and have never been able to import them!
    In the old iphoto it would start importing then stop (deleting photos imported so far) since upgrading to Lion I can't even see the iphone appear in iphoto.
    BTW I'm really trying to back the phone up so I can more to the iphone 5  - but that's failed (well I gave up after 6 hours!) so I thought I would import photos and speed up the backup process..
    Why is this so hard!
    Any tips?
    J

    Some suggestions:
    Restrart the Phone, if that fails reset the phone.
    Try use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)
