How do i organize photos in iPhoto?

I have many duplicate photos in iphoto, and cannot figure how to organize the photos by folder.  I have created a few, and added photos, but they appear to be "copies" rather than a move....I haven't ever done this on a MAC, just a PC...so perhaps I'm missing something....any suggestions would be very appreciated!
Additionally, I seem to be a bit confused regarding the "camera roll", " library" and "photo stream".  My iphone is nearing full memory (planning to upgrade to 32 or 64 G), and not sure is I delete my photos, if they will be removed from my MAC data.
Thanks again

With iPhoto folders contain only albums or other folders - folders can not contain photos
Organization is done with albums and smart albums. Adding key words to photos lets you effectively use smart albums
I use the old standard Who, What, When, Where & Why scheme
Faces does who
Places (combined with my GPS camera) does where
The camera also does when
Why & what get keywords
Also note that placing a photo in an album or smart album does not copy it - it just creates database entries ( pointers to the photos in the library) so it does not take additional space

  • How do I organize photos in iPhoto for ios

    I am confused because there is a category for organizing photos here and in the iPhoto for iOS tutorial, but I cannot find any functionality for organizing photos into events and albums in the software. Am I missing something?  Does anyone know how to do this with the iPad short of making a new album every time in photos?  Most of the time I would like to add photos to existing albums and events rather than creating new ones.

    At the moment I cannot see a way to do it in 'iPhoto' you have to do it in the 'Photos' app.  My workflow is to organize in 'Photos' and use 'iPhoto' for editing.  Hopefully future versions will make this much easier.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to my Adobe Element?

    How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to Adobe Elemnet?

    Hi
    iPhoto is a software application used to import, organize, edit, print, and share digital photos on a Mac OS.
    Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos from iPhoto '09 (versions 8.0 – 8.1.2) and iPhoto’11 (versions 9.0 – 9.1.3). You cannot import photos from versions previous to iPhoto '09.
    Import photos from iPhoto ‘09
    Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library
    Select Files > Get Photos And Videos > From iPhoto.
    Note:  The iPhoto option is not displayed if iPhoto is not installed on your computer. 
    The Import From iPhoto dialog 
    (Optional) You can convert events in iPhoto to individual albums in Elements Organizer 10. In the Import From iPhoto dialog, select Convert Events From iPhoto Into Albums.
    When you import an album and event with the same name, a single album is created and all associated photos are added to the album.
    (Optional) Select More options if you want to choose the events and albums for import. Select the events and albums you want to import.
    Click Import.
    Import photos from iPhoto ‘11

    Hi! My name is Tom from San Diego, CA. I have the exact same question as you. That is, I would like to be able to print out a photo from iphoto with the date that picture was taken displayed on the face of it. In this way, someone looking at that picture in a photo album years later would know when it was taken. Did you ever find a method to print copies of photos out of iphoto with the date displayed on the print? Thanks for your help!

  • How do I delete photos in iPhoto

    how do I delete photos in iPhoto?

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

    how do i move photos in iPhoto for iPad from album to album ?

    If you want to move a photo, then you need to use a PC or a Mac. In iPad, you can copy, but this is just a link to the original. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while...but it looks like it needs another photo program to do it.

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

  • How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

    How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

    Depends on exactly what you want to transfer:
    The Original files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Original) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
    The Edited files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Jpeg or tiff, note the options for adding metadata to the export) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
    Both and all the Metadata: Link the two Macs together and use  iPhoto Library Manager

  • How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
    If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
    Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
    It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
    Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge
