How do I stop iPhoto over-writing the original image?

Just started using iPhoto for iOS and absolutely love it. However, there's one major issue, and that's that I like to keep all my original photos before editing them, however, when I edit an image in iPhoto, it seems to over-write the original.
I have tried copying the original to a separate album that isn't the Camera Roll, however, it still changes the image in all locations, including the Camera Roll.
Any ideas?

that's that I like to keep all my original photos before editing them, however, when I edit an image in iPhoto, it seems to over-write the original.
iPhoto IOS has a lossless workflow, just like iPhoto on the mac. If you edit a photo, you can always undo the edits and revert to the original.
If you want to see the two versions - edited and original side by side, duplicate the photo before adjusting it - share a second copy to the camera roll, not to an album, and then edit the copy.
Adding the photo to an album will not help. Albums are just indexing the photos in the camera roll, they do not hold duplicate copies of your photos. An album needs not much extra space, because it shows the photos in the camera roll or stored elsewhere.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?

    How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?
    This problem started several months ago. I have tried typing more slowly and typing faster; neither help.
    It now takes me about four attempts to complete a title of about twelve characters, achieving about three characters on each attempt.
    I am running iPhoto 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3 on a 2.93 GHz Intel Quad-Core i7 iMac with 12 GB of DDR3 memory.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into inbox?

    How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into the inbox over and over again? It does the same thing with deleted messages that keep showing up again and again in multiples even after deleting them. I have made sure my server settings in all email accounts are set to delete immediately once I delete them on my MacBook Pro/IPhone. This issue has severely compromised the efficiency of Mail on my MacBook. Thanks for any help you're able to give me.

    I have tried that but it does not fix the problem.
    The "card" group is not a previous recipient.
    Although not available for editing in Contacts, it is a valid group showing up in the "To" field of Messages, Mail, or any app using the AddressBook.
    Its associated file is automatically created in:
    ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook/Sources/<hexaFolder>/MetaData/<hexa>ABG roup.abcdg
    This is why it also shows up in the Spotlight results...
    If I manually remove this file, it gets recreated...
    If I turn off the syncing through iCloud, the entry gets deleted. If I turn it up, it comes back!

  • How do I stop iPhoto from updating

    How do I stop iPhoto from updating itself every time I put a backed up iPhoto disc in to play? Now I quit or force quit iPhoto to stop it happening. Happens every time I install a CD or DVD disc. It cant possibly be necessary every time.

    Chances are, that disc was created by an earlier version of iPhoto. iPhoto is trying to convert the library on the disc into an iPhoto 6 library, because the file structure is different in v6. The only fix I know is to copy the disc to your Mac, let iPhoto update your disc as an individual library, then burn a new disc that iPhoto 6 will like.

  • How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    iPhoto has detected faces of people I dont know, in my 'iPhoto faces' whenever I click the cross in the corner of the face (when sorting faces) the face temporarily disappears, but once I have uploaded a fresh batch of photos (and want to identify new faces) it automatically re-identifies the old photos that I don't want to have to sort again. How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    Thank you, that makes sense (I think!) However, I need to be able to tell iPhoto who the people identified in my photos are, does that make sense? How do I identify the people in my new photos without clicking 'find faces'. I know that button searches through my photos to find faces, but it also gets me to the place where I identify the faces as my friends and family, is there a shortcut to get to that place without clicking 'find faces'? That is what I really need, please help!!

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.
    Nathan
    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if

  • How do I stop iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

    How do I stop Iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

    Some possibilities:
    Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
    Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
    Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

    I usually find it's much easier to just use Photoshop to edit my pictures... iPhoto is slow as molasses in January.

    The same way one starts it -- Launch Image Capture, open the application's Preferences (from the Image Capture menu) and change the settings associated with connecting your camera.

    How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

    Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me.  After all, iPhoto is the application that opens.  You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
    What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

  • How do I stop iphoto opening on start up of mac? (not when adding a device etc)

    How do I stop iPhoto opening whenever I start up my mac? (not when adding a device etc) There are lots of answers for stopping it auto-opening when attaching a camera, iPod/Pad and I have 'no application' selected for those, I just cant pin-point how to change the basic start-up/loading setting. Thanks :-)

    In iPhoto go to the General preference pane and set No Application as the option when a camera is connected
    If that doesn't do the trick connect your device to the Mac and launch Image Capture.  In the lower left hand corner select No Application again:

    You can do as others have done, install Little Snitch & use the Network Monitor to view what is happening, that thread has some good advice. http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html
    @Topher, Activity Monitor is a bit pants for tracking processes that respawn or just go away (I assume its because it's an on-demand job, have you got a nice article on 'mach services', Linc confused me !? ).
    ocspd seems to do that in my limited testing,
    Little Snitch is the easiest way to monitor & you can get away with the free demo for long enough to test if funds are tight.

    I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
    Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left.  Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

  • When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
