how do i move photos from finder to iphoto?

Hello gerryfromchatham
All you need to do is select the photos and then drag and drop them on top of iPhoto to import them in.

    How do I move photos from imovie to iphoto?

    You cannot put photos in a trailer. They are designed for videos.
    However, there is a way around this.
    Go to the Project Library view. Select your Trailer. Now, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
    Now you can add photos.

    Same as usual. Tap on the icon to download the photo if necessary. THen hold your finger down on it for a few seconds until you get a pop up giving you the options, among them will be the option to save the photo.

  • How do I consolidate photos from Finder into iPhoto Library?

    I would like to tidy up my photos on my iMac to save space and ensure that all is secure.
    Iam using iPhoto 08 on my iMac v10.8.5. My preference is to consolidate all my photos into my iphoto library so that I can manage my collection through iPhoto. I seem to have the same photos showing in Finder -> pictures as I do when I open iphoto. In addition photo files are also stored under My Pictures folder too. I'm guessing they are managed by iphoto but I don't know why they are saving in Finder as well as the iphoto library. I generally upload photos from either an iPhone or iPad. 
    I have the iphoto preferences set to 'copy items to the iPhoto library' so I'm not sure why they also appear in replicated album structures in Finder and as single images in Finder. Do I just import them again and delete from Finder? Any suggestions? (same for my .MOV files too).
    I've taken a screen shot but don't know how to add to this post.

    Thanks Larry. I tested that for one photo by deleting (placing in trash) one image and then reopening iphoto to make sure the photo was still there and it was.
    However, I was going to select all the images to delete them noticed that the first 4 are not showing in iPhoto (I search by image number as well as sort by image title to double check). These are photos of my daughter at school so would not want to accidentally delete them.
    Is there a way to compare what is in iphoto and what is in Finder? Any suggestions on how to ensure I don't miss any? I'm guessing I just import them all and then run the duplicate cleaner file (not perfect but I just deleted 1.5 GB of photos that were duplicated i iphoto). My operating system is old (2008) and needs all the grunt it can get.
    Not sure if this may be related but iPhoto seems to randomly duplicate my photos and movies within iPhoto and I have no idea why this is happening. The photo and its title is repeated twice but the .jpg is dropped off the file title. Does the same for movies and drops the .MOV from the title when duplicating.
    Regards, Suzanna
    PS I have just tried to import those 4 photos and they are in iPhoto but the photo name is date and time instead of image number as in Finder. That will make it really hard to find?

  • How do I move photos from Iphone3 to iphoto on Mac?

    I haven't used this particular computer for a while Mac g5 10.4.11 The auto photo sync doesn't work. I must be doing something different or I've forgot what to do. Everything else works with ITUNES , but the Iphoto doesn't open up automatically.

    If iPhoto doesn't launch automatically when any digital camera is connected to this Mac including your iPhone, which won't launch automatically when your iPhone is connected unless there are photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, you can change this via the Image Capture preferences - the Image Capture application is located in your Applications folder. When a digital camera is connected, launch iPhoto.
    Or just manually launch iPhoto - it is just a mouse click.
    iPhoto will import photos from your iPhone's camera roll only - not any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library.

    How can I move photos from iPhoto to Finder?

    It is better to export (file menu ==> export) since when you export you control exactly what you get - see the user tip on exporting for details
    When you drag and drop you get the current preview with limited Metadata

  • How do I move photos from one aperture library to another?

    How do I move photos from one library to another?
    Currently I Export to a new temporary library which I import to the other library but It feels kind of a hackish way to do it.
    Thanks

    That is the way it is set-up to be done (at least for Projects as Libraries).
    The only other option is to export master or version (depending on what you want) and then import to other library.

    You need to ask ShutterFly support

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to new PC or Mac?

    We are in the market for a new computer.  I want a Mac (of course!) but my husband and our budget are more comfortable with a PC.  My question is how do we move photos from our old Mac to a new comp?  Can it be done via a network?  I assume it is easier from Mac to Mac.  We do not have an external hard drive and our old comp is very outdated.  The version of iPhoto used is 6.0.6 and OS is OS X, 10.4.11.  We cannot do any further updating to either the application or OS.  We do have both an iPod and iPad but neither can even be synced with this current computer!  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    For a PC select all photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder. Move that folder to the PC
    For a Mac copy the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new Mac
    The connection can be a network, a cable or even an external hard drive you move to the new system or a DVD if it will hold everything

    Correct.
    Drag and Drop the newly created Event into/onto the Event you wish to add it to.
