How do I save in iPhoto?

I have made some changes to a photo in iPhoto. How do I save them?

Just click Done in whatever Edit mode pane you're in if it has that button
or go to the next photo (arrows at the top right) or go back to the Event, click on the Event title in the upper left corner of the edit window. It's pretty much automatic. When you go back to the edit mode using the Shift key will toggle the image between the original and edited version.

How do I save an iPhoto slideshow on my macbook air externally?

I have a macbook air (no CD slot) and am unsure how i can save an iPhoto slideshow externally from my mac.
In the past (on my packard bell laptop) I have always burned photos to a dvd and feel comfort knowing I have the pics externally if anything should happen to the laptop.
I am still within my 14 day money back for the mac and am unsure whether i should change it for a macbook pro which has a cd slot.
Anybody any ideas how I can solve my problem and keep my macbook air?
Also, does my iPhoto slideshow stay in the iCloud? Not sure how iCloud works.
Thanks in advance.

Get yourself an external Hard Drive - USB, Thunderbolt, whatever your machine has ports for - and make back ups to that. DVD and other optical media is going the way of the floppy disk and in 5 years time you'll find it hard to get any machine with a built-in optical drive.
Once you get the drive make sure it's formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - you do this with Disk Utility
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
You can also export the slideshow - File -> Export - this process makes a movie of it.

It is automatic - you just go ahead and come back when ever
And your regular backup will capture everything when it backs up your iPhoto library

How do I save an IPhoto library onto a new hard drive while it's open? It is a miracle I got it open, and it has refused to be copied the usual way (by dragging its icon to destination drive). i want to save those photos!

How do I save an IPhoto library onto a new hard drive while library is open? It is a miracle I got it open, and it has refused to be copied the usual way (by dragging its icon to destination drive). i want to save those photos!

My external Lacie Hard drive that contains the IPhoto library is a "locked volume." Wow, now it is suddenly letting me copy it. I dragged the library's icon to the new destination (a 3T hard drive) and it is working so far.
I have also had problems copying my IMovie events from this drive, whose data I'm trying to save. It reaches a certain video and stops. I will delete that video and try again.

Hi. How do you save the iPhoto album as you are making it?

How do I save the photo album I making on iphoto as I am making it?

How do I save the photo album I making on iphoto as I am making it?
Saving in what way? iPhoto has a database architecture - all changes you make to library items are immediate - no saving needed. Only do not forget to make regular backups of your iPhoto Library..
Or are you asking, how to create a pdf-copy of your book for future reference?
Then select your book in the source list and use the command "File > Print" to print a copy of your book to PDF - press the "PDF" button in the lower left part of the "Print" panel.

How do I save my iPhoto program and/or my iPhoto photos

I have a LaCie external hard drive which I use for backing up.
I have not yet figured out how to use Back Up but I do plan to (and it gets pushed away all the time).
QUESTION FOR MANUALLY BACKING UP (until I figure out BackUp):
How do I save all of my iPhoto photos? What thing do I look for to drag to the LaCie icon? The iPhoto Library? What?
FURTHER: How do I save the ENTIRE iPhoto program for just in case? (I have the room/memory for it.) Ideally I would like to be able to save the entire program and then add new photos to it as I get those new photos. Do I just drag the iPhoto icon from my Applicatons file to my external La Cie hard drive/disk?
Thank you.

If all you want is a backup copy of your iPhoto
application, control+click on iPhoto in the
Applications folder and select "Create an archive of
...". Drag the resulting archive to your external
drive (I'm not sure why you need to do it, but that
will get it done). Once transferred, you can then
delete the redundant copy of the archive from the
Applications folder.
Dear Brie Fly — Wow! I just now finished doing as you described. It took several minutes but that was the WHOLE iPhoto program. It says that it is a Zip Archive. I clicked onto it in my LaCie external hard drive and it began opening up............ and I decided to stop it from opening up for the time being.
Question remains:
As I add more photos to my iPhoto program on my iMac hard drive, can Backup add the new photos into the whole archived iPhoto program that I just dragged onto my La Cie external hard drive/disk? For Backup to do so, does the iPhoto program have to be "unzipped"? Or what?
And thank you for such a helpful reply.

How do i save an iPhoto slideshow to a disk, how do i save an iPhoto slideshow to a disk

I have created a slideshow with iPhoto and need to burn a disk of it. How do I do that?

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large or 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How can I save the iPhoto library ( ie all current photos) to another media / HD and maintaing the access to it

I am struggling with the export features of iPhoto:
- That is for the mac, (but also for iOs7 on the iPad would be interesting)
1/ how to generate a backup ( from the iPhoto library) -
- just rename it and then copy it to another device / HD ?
2/ what is the recommended procedure, to have several Photo - Collections, ( iPhoto libraries)
and then to switch between them.
Thx in advance

Switching between Libraries:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
or
File Menu -> Switch to Library
or
Double click on your preferred Library.
There is no recommendation to have multiple libraries. They're inconvenient.

How do I save 2 iphoto libraries onto one external drive?

Hi
I have an iphoto library on my MacBook Pro and I have an older library of different photos on my graphite iBook.
I'd like to store all my photos onto one external drive.
How can I do this without losing either library in the process?
I actually have the same question regarding music on iTunes.
Thanks
AS

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Do you want to merge these libraries into one? If so, then you'll need the paid version ($20) of iPhoto Library Manager
It's the only way to merge Libraries while preserving all metadata, versions and so on.
Otherwise, simply rename one of the Libraries (so they don't overwite each other) and Copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the External Disk. in each case.
To choose which library to open: holf down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location.

How do I save into iphoto some images that have been emailed to me without having to select and save each one?

Hi - I have received lots of emails with photos from a recent party, but I cant seem to select them and save them into iphoto as a group - so far I have been selecting them one by one, but I am getting a bit weary of that! I am sure there a faster way.... any ideas?

Hi Bamber17,
When you're in Mail, click and hold on the Save button and it'll bring up a drop down showing all the photos that are attached to that particular email message. Then choose the "Add to iPhoto" option. Should save you a lot of time.

How do I save an iPhoto project?

Hi all,
I'm trying to put together a book in iPhoto 11 for a Christmas present. However, when I close the program and go back in later, all the photos are gone and I am left with a blank project. As it's quite a big project I can't really do it in one sitting - however, with this current problem I can't see a way around a long night in front of the Mac.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a symptom of some wider problem?
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Wider problem.
Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Why does the iPhoto slideshow I exported as a movie only last 5 seconds?, How do I save an iPhoto slideshow as movie?

I followed the instructions for exporting an iPhoto slideshow as a Qucktime movie, but when I drag it onto my iWeb page, it only plays for 5 seconds. What am I doing wrong?

I started having this problem last week. It affects new and old photos. Maybe one in several hundred photos has this problem. Some of them were fine earlier and have been in iPhoto for years.
This seems to be a rendering problem of some sort. When I click on the thumbnail, a fuzzy low-rez image comes up full size, but instead of resolving to full resolution the screen just goes black.
I imported 30 images yesterday. Jpegs created from RAW files by Nikon Capture. All but one are fine. The actual file in the library seems OK (I tried the suggestion above). I can export the photo and it's fine in mail or other viewers. It's just that Iphoto can't seem to display it at full/high resolution. At first I thought that it might be due to the size (12Mpxl) but the other ones are fine, and some of the old images this happens to are small (2mpxl) and taken as jpgs by an old canon point and shoot.
I'm using Iphoto8 7.1.3(364) and the only thing that's changed on my computer recently is adding the latest 10.4.11 java and security updates.
I tried to duplicate the photo, and the problem also occurs with the duplicate. I can't do the revert trick, since I haven't edited the file in any way since import.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to send the affected photo if it helps.
Thanks.
