How do I merge new imported photos into an existing event?

How do I merge new imported photos into an existing event while using the latest version of iPhoto?

You can merge two Events simply by dragging one to the other.
You can move photos between Events by drag and drop or by first flagging them, then switching to Events View and selecting the target Event and going Events Menu -> Add Flagged Photos to selected Event.

How can I import pictures into an existing event?

I am loading up my new MAC with various photos on CDs and would like to be able to import them into specific existing events, instead of creating a new event and dragging it to merge with another. How can I do this? If not, is there an easy way to merge events without dragging from one end of the list to another - hard when you have a couple of hundred events.

You can't. All import will go into a new event. Then you can drag that event onto the Event you want to put the photos in and that will merge the two.

Import a photo into an existing event

Is there a way to import (or drag and drop) a photo from my hard drive (say desktop, for example) into Iphoto into an existing event? It always creates a new event when I bring a photo into Iphoto. Then I have to move it into the event I want it in. I'm using Iphoto 08 version 7.1.5. Thanks!

You can import it into an existing album but not an Event.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How do I move imported photos into an existing album in photos

I have a large collection of photos in iPhoto, arranged into events and albums.
If I now import from my camera i open up photos, not iPhoto.
After importing images how do I add specific images to one, or more, of my existing albums.
If I close photos and open iPhoto I can still import to iPhoto but the images do not appear in photos.

Enable the Sidebar if it isn't showing (View menu > Show Sidebar), then drag the photos into the album icon on the sidebar.

Import photoes into existing album

After upgrade to 10.6, IPhoto no longer gives me to the option to import photos to an exisiting album. Any way around that other than merging events after the import?

You talk about both albums and events - which do you mean? They are not the same
You can not (and never have been able to ) import photos into an existing event - an imp[ort will always create one or more events - then yu can merge, split, etc the events
Albums are logical things that can be created during an import (along with an event) but usually are subjects so you add imported photos to them later

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

When importing photos into LR, the year is incorrect. How to fix?

When I first created my Lightroom catalog, each new folder would fall under 2012, and within that folder would be the date, so for New Year's Eve "2012-12-31". Now that it is 2013, when I import photos into my 2013 folder, Lightroom instantly tries to create a subfolder of 2012 and another subfolder in that with today's date. I can't seem to get Lightroom to stop doing this. See the image below to see what I mean.
I'd like it to just put today's importing images into a subfolder under the 2013 folder, called "2013-01-25". It still wants to create this 2012 folder. Sorry if I am not using the correct wording but this is what is happening so everything shot in 2013 keeps getting put into a new 2012 folder each time.
As you can see I want the subfolders to be organized and Lightroom already has the date format correct. Please help me with this.
Thank you very much.
I am running Lightroom 4.3 on a 13" Macbook Air with Mac OSX 10.8.2, 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, with RAW photos from a Canon EOS 6D.

As far as iOS is concerned naming or labeling your photos is pointless since it's a "visual and tactile" device where you touch or swipe what you see or a folder opens to show you it's entire contents. IPad and iPhone was never intended to search for a picture as such like you would on your desktop or laptop.

How do you import photos into imovie?

If you can open a Finder Window to your photos, you can drag them in to an iMovie project from the Finder.
Some third party apps might support drag and drop, but I haven't got Lightroom to test it. If drag and drop from LightRoom does not work, try exporting from LightRoom into a Finder folder and drag them in from there.

Can't import photos into iPhoto

I have a Sony DSC W5 digital camera. For five years I have been able to import photos from the Sony camera into iPhoto. In the last two days I can no longer import photos into iPhoto. I get an "unrecognizable file" prompt. I can drag the photo files onto the Finder and view them there. The photo on the Finder has a .jpg suffix just as all the other photos in iPhoto. Anybody got an idea on how to solve this problem? Thank you.

get the photos off of the card and reformat the card using the camera format command
Can you import the photos from disk once you have moved them from the camera to the disk? If not try opening one preview and saving as to create a new file and import that

How do you drop a still photo into a video?

how do you drop a still photo into a video -- while continuing the audio track unchanded?

by popular demand, Kelli Applies Lip Liner to Audrey's Lips has been completely re-mastered. (ok, it was just one person who asked, but she's a very intelligent and articulate observer of such matters. she noted that the clip suggests "interesting possibilities", but that men probably would be unaware of that. i explained that "men are pretty simple, so we don't see too many moves ahead." she laughed.)
i believe that in an earlier post i indicated that in the re-mastered version i would delete the in-camera audio and dub in the audio from the Zoom H4n audio recorder. this i did.
(syncing the video and audio continues to be a nightmare, though ).
besides signifcantly improving the sound quality, using a separately recorded audio source allowed me to drop (2) still photos into the video track, and still preserve the continuity of the recorded conversation.
dropping in the stills the correct way (unlike in the first re-mastered video) was easier than i thought it would be. it's just a matter of dragging the Premiere Elements 7's red vertical timeline-cursor to the point on the timeline where you want the insert to begin, and then dragging and dropping the still photo alongside the red cursor. the amount of time the still will appear can be shortened or lengthened by dragging with the mouse -- the same way any other file can be extended or contracted.
the video coming out from the still was now running behind the soundtrack. but, the timeline shows the exact duration of the still, so the video coming out was shortened with the mouse by that same duration, and then the audio and video were back in sync.
to add the "sound effect" of the camera's shutter clicking (actually its mirror slapping) before each still appears, i found a point on the audio recording that had the click of my camera actually taking a still, and that had only a little audio from the models underneath it. removing all the audio before and after the sound of the camera click was, again, just a matter of finding the start/stop points i wanted, moving the timeline's red cursor to those points, and using the mouse to drag the ends of the audio file alongside the cursor.
because i wanted the sound of the camera click to merge with the converation anyway, i just put the audio file of the click on its own audio track (which allowed me to separately control its volume).
however, when i tried to copy and paste the audio file of the camera click to the beginning of the second still photo, i was not able to copy and paste by the normal method of using the mouse to right-click-file/left-click-"copy"/left-click-"paste". eventually, i tried doing so by clicking on "edit" on the menu bar at the upper left and then clicking on "copy" and "paste", and there was no problem. (go figure.)
as with the other re-mastered video, i brightened, increased contrast, made the hue a bit warmer, and added a little sharpening. (this has to be done individually for each separate video file that makes up the whole piece -- at least that's what i did.)
interestingly, the audio level can be tweaked directly on the timeline by using the mouse to drag up or down a horizontal yellow line running the length of the audio file.
i again rendered in Adobe Flash Video (.flv). (annoyingly, in XP at least, there's a default download destination that has to be reset everytime you want to save in a different location). from a drop-down menu i selected "NTSC Flash Video 700k" (just in case) and left the file name as "Untitled" (since no matter what i change it to, it saves as "untitled.flv", so i have to rename it anyway once it's saved).
i went into "Advanced..." and, to preserve the dimensions and the HD, i unchecked "Resize Video", chose "Same as source" for the frame rate, and checked 2 "Encoding Passes" (just in case).
for some reason, everytime i click the "save" button, it asks what i want to call these settings. if i use the name i used for the same settings on the previous go-round, it says that that name is already used and (impliedly) can't be used again. so, i add the new date, and yet another name for the same settings gets added to the drop-down menu (odd).
once the compressed .flv file was saved, it was an easy upload to youtube.
btw, it seems that the Elements 7's Audio Mix defaults to 0 dB, OR whatever the setting was in the prior saved version, unless i use the mouse to continuously "ride the slider pot". that's ok for a 48-second video, but does anyone know of a way the dB can be set so that it just sits there, instead of moving back to where it previously was

Importing photos into PhotoShop Elements 9

Hi. Im very new to photoshop software. Any software for that matter
I have about 15000 photos in windows gallery that i initially imported into PSE. But since doing that, as PSE was soooo slow, i went back to windows gallery and cleaned up and organised my photos there, putting them in the correct sub folders, thinking they would automatically update in PSE. This doesnt seem to be the case. Can anyone assist me in how to import photos into PSE, and once they are imported, can i delete from windows gallery ? Oh and any otehr tips for a newbie is appreciated
Thanks heaps!!

Hi
Im sorry, but i dont completely understand your answer, although it was a little helpful.
The first sentence you advised to make sub folders in windows program.
Im pretty sure thats what ive done. But i thought it would automatically update to PSE. You mentioned it would not. Thankyou for that part.
I have cleared/re organised my windows picture folders and organised them into sub folders but when i went into PSE the old pic files and folders were showing there - except they advised no picture or data is available.
So this confuses me as there is too much files in PSE now and i cant seem to get rid of them.
The other concern is the new photos i have loaded into windows pictures program, how do i get them into PSE. This is really hard to explain in email., so i do apologise if i dont make sense or repeat myself.
But my main concern is if PSE doesnt update why does it keep old pic folders in the program if nothing is available.
i tried to uninstall and then reinstall and start teh program all over again with my newly organised windows folders but the old stuff remianed even though i uninstalled the program ????
Thanks

Why cant I Imports photos into a trailer storyboard?

My import buttons on the right side of my workspace are greyed out while Im in the storyboard... USELESS... I especially need to import photos into the storyboard... anyone know how to resolve this without buying a 3rd party app to convert he photos into .MOV files?

Hi
Yes it's tedious. But need to be done.
Use iMovie to convert the photo to a movie file - by
• create a new project
• drop photo into it
• Export / Share it as full quality Quicktime (.mov)
• Use this new .mov file in Your Trailer
Yes this could have been 100% easier. But still it can be done.
Yours Bengt W
