How do I save a jpg photo into iphoto?

My friend sent me some photo's through her email & they are all saved in jpg. So I do I save those photos into my iphoto? & I also can't get the whole control+command+4 for the grab screen shot so if I can get some help on that two that would be awesome!!! Thanks

If you are using Mail as your email client, open the email that your friend sent you and you will see the option to save the attachments (the photos). When you click on the "Save" buton, a drop down menu will appear with the option to save the photo to iPhoto. That's it.
For Screen shots, you only need to use the Apple application "Grab" which is in your Utilities folder (Finder->Applications->Utilities->Grab). http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh364.html

How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

How do I add a jpg photo into the library

I am trying to animate a layer on top of a background, I've made the background layer the first in the back but when I animate it dissapeers. I can use one of the stock backgrounds from the library and it stays in thebackground while the other gif layers work fine. I want to use my jpg photo as the background, have it remain there while the animated gif runs, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Barbra,
I appreciate the help, I tried your idea but I'm probably doing something
wrong I can't seem to get the right sequence, but I'll keep playing with
it. If you go to our site theundertoneband.com you can see I am starting to
get this animating thing a little. I have a question, is there anyway to
make a normal pic into a background like they have in the library, or maybe
add my pic to the library?
Thanks for all your Help,
Mark

HT1229 how do i save all my photos in iPhoto to a USB?

How do I save and transfer all my photos in iPhoto to a USB?

Do you want to save the photos or your complete iPhoto Library?
To backup the library on an USB thumbsdrive, select it in the Finder and drag it to the icon of the thumbsdrive. Only make sure, the drive is formatted correctly. By default it will be formatted for windows systems and not MacOS Extended (Journaled) as required for photo libraries, see: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture or iPhoto.

Cannot import jpg photos into iPhoto'09

Before posting, I tried to read previous posts and Google'd the issue, but I have not found a solution that works.
Someone sent us pictures from our recent trip to Disney World. I downloaded the pictures to a folder under the Download folder. The pictures come up fine in Preview. Here are the specs. for one of the pictures -- the Document type is JPEG image. File Size: 702KB, Image Size: 2048x1536 pixels, Image DPI: 144 pixels/inch, Color model: RGB, ColorSync profile: Adobe RGB 1998 (also tried Generic RGB and sRGB EIC61966-2.1).
When, I drag the photo to the iPhoto window, I get the error popup about Unreadable Files -- "The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)
I am running Mac OS 10.6.2 with iPhoto'09, version 8.1.1 (419).
This is really frustrating!
Thanks for any suggestions.
George

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Download the Automator workflow application *+Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile+* from Toad's Cellar, unzip it, drop a couple of files on it (use backup copies) and see if those will import into iPhoto.

How do I save an emailed photo to iPhoto

When I select the option to "Add to iPhoto" in Mail, nothing happens. Am I missing something?

FYI - I sent this message to jane5047:
I think I now understand the problem you are having. I did a test photo email and sure enough, when I selected the Add to iPhoto option under the Save that appears in the top of the Mail Message (the one beside Quick Look for an attachment), iPhoto did not open and the photo did not "Add to iPhoto".
The way that I got it to "Add to iPhoto" was to first left-click Quick Look. At the top of the Quick Look of the photo there is a button that says Open with Preview. Instead of left-clicking on this, I right-clicked on it and a menu appeared with the "Add to iPhoto" option here. I selected it from here, iPhoto opened and the photo added fine.
Not sure why the "Add to iPhoto" does not work from the Save menu in the email message in Mail but it does work from the Quick Look menu. At any rate, this is yet another option for saving emailed photos to iPhoto.

How do I get all my photos into iPhoto?

Hi there,
I don't know if this is feasible, but I currently have photos all over my hard drive. Some are in Kodak Easyshare, some in MP Navigator and some in iPhoto. I would like to get them all under one roof so to speak, and into iPhoto. I sure I also have duplicates as well (I'm not a very good housekeeper.)There are also some (I think) in Photoshop Elements.
Is there a way, as painlessly as possible, that this can be done?
Cheers
NikkiG

My suggestion is to create a temporary storage folder perhaps on the desktop. Inside that folder create folders that identify groups of photos, such as "Christmas 2005" and "Joe 65 Birthday" but do not put folders inside of these folders.
Use whatever means you feel is convenient to move the photos to these folders. I would use the Finder but that's not a requirement.
When finished, import one folder at a time into iPhoto. Each folder will be identified as a "roll." AFTER you confirm that everything is OK inside iPhoto, you can trash the temporary folder.
Did you ever think that, in time, the kids will have no idea why we use the word "roll" just as they have no idea why we refer to a telephone "dial" tone. (I tried calling it a "button tone" but everybody laughed at me.)

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

See if any of this info will help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

How to Import a jpg photo into FCPx and keep 16:9 aspect ratio?

Hi,
I'm trying to import a normal .jpg photo into my project but I can't get it to have the 16:9 ratio like the rest of my movie.
How do I do this?
Thanks for the help!

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.

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

How do I save an edited photo to a usb I export them to desk top but the whole file is exported ther

How do I save an edited photo to a usb New to LR I have exported some to desktop but I keep getting the whole catalogue there as well

Exporting will create a new file for every Image you have selected. It will not overwrite any files.
Your workflow counters much of the engineering and design that went into Aperture. Here is a very short guide to getting started with Aperture.
Fwiw, the Aperture Library is a file system. The Library is a Finder package. You can see the contents of the package by right-clicking the Library (in Finder) and selecting "Show package contents". Additionally, for advanced users, Aperture includes features for manually managing the files you import into the Library (they can be located on any drive directly connected to your machine).

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

Have you tried to open your pdf-scans in Preview?
When you open a pdf in Preview, you can use the command "File > Export" to save it as jpeg to a folder. Than drag that folder to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to import the converted photo to iPhoto.

I purchased an iPhone 3 and had photos on it. Started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. Moved photos to back up on iCloud. did not restore new phone from back up how can i save the new photos and retrieve the old ones?

I purchased an iPhone 3 and had taken some photos on it. I started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. So I created an iCloud account and saved those photos as a back up on iCloud. I did not restore my new phone from back up because I did not realize I needed to restore and not just activitate it. How can I save the new photos, apps, and other stuff but retrieve the old photos?

If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone. If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes. The process would look like this:
Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup. Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.
