So in windows I can resize a photo and leave it where it is.  Why can't I do this in iphoto?
iPhoto - either on your Mac or on IOS devices, is designed as an application with a lossless workflow. All adjustments and edits are guaranteed to be reversible. You will always be able to revert to the original  image. And that would be impossible, if iPhoto allowed you to clandestinely exchange the image file in the place where the photo is stored. iPhoto would not know how to undo the changes you did without using iPhoto to do them. If you do not need a digigal assets management program with a lossless workflow, don't use iPhoto - then you'd be better off with something like Picasa.

  • How do I move music off my phone and keep it in my library?

    Ive taken up too much memory with music on my iphone. How do I delete it on the phone and keep it on my MacBook and Ipad?

    if they are things you bought in the iTunes store, then you can trasnfer them to your iTunes library

    If not then you would have to use some sort of non apple software to move or transfer non puchases from your device to the library.

    quote pgs 337, 338, Chapter 11 of the Manual:
    1 Add a clip to the Timeline with a frame size that doesn’t match the current project’s frame size (resolution) settings.
    2 Select the clip in the Timeline.
    3 To open the Video inspector, click the Inspector button in the toolbar (shown below),
    and click the Video button at the top of the pane that appears.
    4 Choose a method of conforming frame size from the Type pop-up menu in the Spatial Conform section of the Video inspector.
    • Fit: The default setting. Fits the clip within the project’s frame size setting without cropping the clip’s video. Black bars appear on the sides of the frames that don’t match the project’s frame size (resolution). In the case of a standard-definition (SD) clip in a high-definition (HD) project, Final Cut Pro scales up the SD clip to fit the HD project’s frame size. In the case of an HD clip in an SD project, Final Cut Pro scales down the HD clip to fit the SD project’s frame size.
    • Fill: Makes the clip’s video fill the project’s frame size. In the case of an SD clip in an HD project, Final Cut Pro scales up the SD clip to fit the HD project’s frame size. Cropping occurs along the clip’s longer dimension to allow the shorter dimension to fill the screen. In the case of an HD clip in an SD project, Final Cut Pro scales down the HD clip to fit the SD project’s frame size. Cropping occurs along the clip’s shorter dimension to allow the longer dimension to fill the screen.
    • None: Leaves the clip’s frame size unchanged. If the clip’s frame size is larger than the the project’s frame size, the clip appears cropped. If the clip’s frame size is smaller than the project’s frame size, black bars surround the clip.

  • How to restore a single Photo with time machine in Aperture 3 / iphoto?

    How to restore a single Photo with time machine in Aperture 3 / iphoto?

    Its been awhile since I used iPhoto, but I have done it.
    If I recall correctly this is how.
    In iPhoto open event that you need to restore the photo to ( the event that originally contained it )
    Then open TM it should show that same event and then go back in time until you find the missing shot
    Highlight the one you need to restore and tell TM to restore it.
    Good luck

  • How does one resize a photo to the dimensions required by a contest?

    How does one resize a photo in aperture to the dimensions required by contest?

    Are you submitting a print or a file?
    You set the size of your print in the print dialog.
    You set the number of pixels (the unit of linear measurement of digital images is the pixel) for a file when you create that file by exporting an Image from your Library. You can specify a recommended number of Pixels per Inch by using the (mis-named) DPI field in the Image Export Preset you use when you export.
    The files you import have a height and width in pixels.  Height/width = the Aspect Ratio.  You can crop to any aspect ratio using Aperture's Crop tool.
    What are the specs required by the contest's sponsors?
    Message was edited by: Kirby Krieger -- added aspect ratio and cropping.

  • How do you place the photo to be on the cover in iPhoto books?

    How do you place the photo to be on the cover in iPhoto books?  In try to make a book in iPhoto I find it impossible to choose a photo for the cover. I try to make a photo a key photo, i put it at the front of the selections, i give it the most stars but somehow another photo is selected and I can't change the selection.  Help.  Thank you. iPhoto 9.5.1

    You are welcome
    I hope your book will be great. Once you finish the book, make a preview and check it carefully, before uploading the book to Apple.
    Keep the preview for your records, until you receive the printed copy.

    how do i choose a photos folder for my screen saver.  iPhoto used to be listed as a dropdown choice.  now only folder is listed.

    You cannot take a folder out of the Trash to your Desktop without erasing the one on the Desktop. You need to first change the name of the folder on the Desktop. Or you can open the folder that's in the Trash and drag the files onto the Desktop assuming there aren't too many of them.
    But if you have a duplicate on the Desktop why do you need to remove the one that's in the Trash?
    If you feel you must take the folder out of the Trash, then you need to rename the duplicate that's on your Desktop.
    If you wish to put the folder back where it was when you deleted it, then open the Trash window, select the folder, then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select "Put Back" from the context menu.

    I always recommend backing up the iPhoto Library file under your Pictures folder first.
    You can try removing the iPhoto Preference file in your User Library folder. Close iPhoto. If you are using Snow Leopard (10.6) click on Go in the Finder menu bar. Click on Library. If you are now on Lion (10.7), you'll have to hold Option key while clicking Go to see the Library selection. Once here, find the Preferences folder. In here, look for the following:
    com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Move this file to the desktop. Start iPhoto and see what happens. If it is working, you can delete the file you moved to the desktop. This should not delete any photos, but will reset iPhoto as if it's the first time you are opening it (so your preferences you set may need to be set back).
    If this doesn't work, let me know.

  • I was recently prompted to update iPhoto and make changes to the library.  I did it but it keeps hanging up in step 5 or 6 and won't complete the cycle.  I have used force quit, rebooted and started again several times.  How do i get this to work?

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails:
    Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

  • Can I use both iPhoto and Aperture on the same library?

    I like some of the features of iPhoto (like faces and places) but prefer to work in Aperture for its rich tool content. Is there any way I can use both iPhoto and Aperture on the same library? Or, import images from Aperture into iPhoto?
    Thanks much!
    John

    I think you may have answered a question I have with the above, but to be sure here is what I would like to do. I currently have iPhoto09 with about 50,000 pictures in it, which seems too much for it to manage. I would like to use Aperture, which I understand is better for managing a large number of photos, but still have iPhoto available to make slide shows, etc. for our AppleTV. Would the process you described above work for that?
    Thank you
