How do I import photos from iPhoto to Lightroom on mac book air?

Iv'e read in several forums that to do this you must go into the finder right click on iPhoto.  Click show package contents.   This pulls up a file named contents.   All of the forums say to either look for a masters file or a original file and copy and paste it to the desktop. This is supposed to then allow lightroom to see the packaged file.   I can't seem to find either file.  Im not sure if its because the forum is outdated or if they just completely changed the name of the file with a newer update.   Either way I tried to do this with a couple of the files I thought might work i.e.. library, mac os.   Nothing has worked.   I am very new to using mac.  I just literally bought this computer yesterday so I really don't want to try to much blindly but being able to edit images with professional software is the whole reason why I bought it.    Pleases Help!!!!!!

I just looked on my computer and it appears that they moved the folder location.  In Finder, go to the "pictures" folder and then right click on the iPhoto library and select show package contents.  I was then able to find a Masters Library with a bunch of sub folders that contained the files.
I think the issue is that you were selecting the iPhoto application.
Hope this helps.

  • How do you import photos from iPhoto into lightroom?

    I have lightroom 5.7 and OX10.9.5 if it matters.  I can't find the iPhoto photos and dragging them in doesn't do anything. 

    Either Lightroom Help | Import photos from iPhoto (Mac OS)
    or this plug-in (yes it says Aperture but it works for iPhoto too): Aperture import plugin now available

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

    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 to import photos from iPhoto to Lightroom?

    Hey Guys, How do I export photos from iPhoto to Lightroom? I deleted them from the SD Card so I cannot import them directly to Lightroom. Im using a mac so its all very confusing for me. Please help me., Hey Guys, How do I export photos from iPhoto to Lightroom? I deleted them from the SD Card so I cannot import them directly to Lightroom. Im using a mac so its all very confusing for me. Please help me.

    To simply import the original files is quite a simple process.
    Locate the iPhoto Library (default is your Pictures Folder). Right click on it and select "Show Package Contents".
    Locate the Masters folder and drag it onto the Lightroom icon or an open Library window. This will invoke the Import command.
    Be sure "Include Subfolders" is checked.
    Now you can import all the original files.
    If your goal is to maintain structure of the Events it gets a little more tedious. Drag the event onto the Lightroom icon or the Library window. Once imported you can group them into a Collection Name that mimics the Event.
    Repeat with other events.
    With the impending demise of iPhoto and Aperture, I suspect Apple may be working with Adobe to develop an automated process that will also maintain metadata that was added in those programs. If you can wait a while, it may be worth it.

  • 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 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 DO I IMPORT PHOTOS FROM MY EMAIL TO MY MAC? Please!!!

    How do I import photos from my email account to my mac?

    Always works: download them to your hard drive and then either drag them to the  iPhoto Window or use the File -> Add to Library command.
    Other than that, without knowing your email set up, it's hard to suggest any more.

  • 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 do I import photos from iPhoto into the iMovie Events window? I want to use photos in my iMovie trailer program

    i want to use some of my photos from iPhoto library in the iMovie Trailer program - it won't let me import them. I tired to sneak them into the Events library but can't seem to be able to do that either when using the imovie trailer feature, I have to open up a different project to be able to import photos, but only able to drop them directly into a project, not the events folder -- I can't get photos into the event folder.

    You cannot add photos to a trailer.
    The solution is to get as far as you can in the Trailer withou adding the photos. Then, select the trailer in the Project Library List, and click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT. Now it is an iMovie Project, and you can do anything that iMovie can do, including add photos wherever you want.

    Don't do any of that. Just export the photos from iPhoto
    File -> Export
    to folders in the Finder. That's the supported way and has the added advantage that you can use the names you've given to your Events or Albums as well.

  • How do I migrate photos from iPhoto into Lightroom 5?

    Okay. I've got all my photos organised in iPhoto, but I've seen the writing on the wall about Apple discontinuing iPhoto.
    So I've taken out a subscription for Creative Cloud 2014 including Photoshop & Lightroom 5.
    My question is:- How do I migrate all my photos including organising them into Events / Collections from iPhoto to Lightroom 5?
    I've seen a tutorial that recommended downloading a free trial of Photoshop Elements 12 to use that as a sort of 'missing link' between the two apps, but it didn't work in that it didn't keep my photos organised in Events / Collections. I just ended up with a load of esoterically generically named folders which made no sense.
    Surely there must be a way, shouldn't there?

    Have you tried some of the online articles?
