How do I transferr scanned in tif photos in iphoto to jpg format?

MacBook Pro - I scanned in photos and they entered into the computer in tif file. I tried several different ways to convert them to jpg. I finally read that if I transferred them into iPhoto they would automatically go into jpg form. I went to use them for the website I am making and they still can't be transferred so I am assuming that they are still in tif format. Please help....I have been trying way to long now!!!

Try opening them with Preview. Then do "Save as..."
The dialog box I get when I do that have jpeg as an choice under the "Format" option:

  • HT1229 How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.  Any suggestions appreciated.

    How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.   Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
    Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.

    To change the color mode to CMYK you'll need a 3rd party image editor like Photoshotp or GraphicConverter to do it.  Why do you need CMYK?

  • How can I change the order of photos in iPhoto so I can create the slide show I want?

    How to change the order of photos in iPhoto on my iPad, so I can create the slide show I want.

    Here's what I did to generate a slide show with Ken Burns effect on the iPad...with the exact same slide order I created on the iMac.  I have iOS 5.5 and iPhoto App on New iPad, and iPhoto 11 on iMac.
    In iPhoto for the Mac, create a new Album and give it the name of your Slide Show. Drag or import the photos you want into the album.  Rearrange the order of the album photos as desired. Do this by selecting Manual Sort under View/Sort Photos or simply start dragging thumbnails to the places you want them (the sort method will automatically change to Manual). 
    When you have the order you want, shut down iPhoto on the Mac to make sure iPhoto's database gets updated with the new photos and their order. 
    Restart iPhoto and go to File/Export on the top menu.  Select File Export at the top left of the Export window. Set JPEG quality to Max, Size to Full Size, and File Name to Album Name and Number.  Set Subfolder Format to None.
    Click Export to bring up what looks like the Finder.  Create an empty folder on your hard drive under Pictures and give it the name of your slide show. Click on the new folder and then click OK at the bottom right of the Finder-like window.  The new folder will contain JPEG files with file names in the form, Album Name - 001.jpeg, Album Name - 002.jpeg, etc.  There will also be an iPOD Photo Cache folder.  Click at the top of the Name column to order files by file name.  001 will be your first slide, 002 your second, etc.
    Now start up iTunes. You are going to force the Mac to sync these new photos with the iPad.  Click on your iPad device in the list at the left.  Now click on the Photo button at top right. Make sure the Sync Photos check box at top is checked, then select Choose Folder... from the list at right.  In the Finder-like window that opens, select the folder where your slides are.  Make sure that All Folders is checked, then select Open at the bottom right.
    Now click Sync at bottom right.  The slides will be copied to your iPad.  Both the Photos app and the iPhoto app will properly handle the slide order, and the Ken Burns effect is available using the iPhoto app.
    I ran across this problem in preparing a Ken Burns slide show for a wedding.  Drove me nuts for a week why the order changes when syncing an iPhoto album from iMac to iPad.  But this worked and gave me several options.  I plan to use the digital AV adapter for iPad and show slides on a large screen TV using HDMI connection from iPad to TV.  TV essentially acts as an external monitor for the iPad.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I attach comments to a photo in iPhoto '11 and then have it show when I forwarded it via email?

    I'd like to send photos to friends with comments comments about the photo. How can I do that? I'm using iPhoto '11 with Leopard.

    Depends...
    Most easy: simply attach the pic to an email and write the comments in the email
    Most complex: Use the Description field in the Info Pane to write you comments, export the shot (File -> Export), checking the box at 'Titles and Keywords', and then email that. But be aware that the comment will be written to the IPTC metadata and the receiver at the other end will need an app that understands that.

  • How to back up a group of photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive

    how to back up a group of photos[an album] in iPhoto to an external hard drive. not taking them out of iPhoto just backing up

    If you're not taking them out of iPhoto, then you need to back up the iPhoto Library:
    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

  • How to save photoshop CS5 extended edited photos in iphoto on Mac?

    Hi this is my first post on here, so i'm unsure if i have put my question in the right place? etc....?
    I have only just purchased CS5 extended and have just been on a intro course, and today decided to edit a few of my photos in photoshop.
    i opened my photo from iphoto and edited it fine, that part was fairly easy to do, once i had finished i then went to file to save my photo, which i thought was straight forward as per click on 'save' once i had done that i closed the photo down, then moved onto another photo to edit.
    after which i was looking through the iphoto folder, and i noticed that the photos i had edited using photoshop were still showing the parts of the picture that i had edited out i.e. overhead cables were showing in the picture! when i clicked on the photo to make it larger the edited version appeared.. i.e. no cables were showing!!
    now am i going mad here, how has this happened? the next time i did a 'save as' and selected to save as and replace the original, but yet again the small picture in the folder is still displaying the original, now how am i going to know which photos have been edited and which haven't unless i click on them to make them large and show up the edited version!!!!!  do i need to save the edited photo in a differnt way?
    sorry for the long post but i wanted to give you all the info i thought might be of help.
    Many thanks if you have read this far and i await your comments....Marie

    Forget about iPhoto. Honestly.
    iPhoto doesn't play nice with Photoshop—or any other program, as a matter of fact.
    iPhoto uses a "libraries" paradigm and buries your images deep in "packages" only iPhoto can access.  (Sure, there are workarounds, but what a hassle!).
    I routinely delete the iPhoto application from all my OS X installs.
    I suppose what you can do—if you insist on using that program—is to open the Photoshop-edited image with iPhoto and do a Save As from iPhoto itself.

  • HOW DO I IMPORT THEN OPEN MY PHOTOS FROM IPHOTO LIBRARY IN BRIDGE?

    HOW DO I OPEN MY PHOTOS IN IPHOTO IN BRIDGE AND THEN IN PHOTOSHOP?

    Please don't type in all caps.  It's difficult to read and rude, as it is like shouting,
    iPhoto doesn't play nice with Adobe applications—or with any other application.
    iPhoto hides all your images in proprietary libraries.  You need to manually export them from within iPhoto.
    Once you do that, put them in a folder or folders anywhere in the Finder.  You don't need to "import" anything in Bridge.  You simply launch Bridge and browse.  Bridge is just a file browser, nothing less and nothing more.
    Bridge does not open or edit any images or files.  It just finds them and hands them over to the application, whether that be Photoshop, Camera Raw, Illustrator, Acrobat, or even MS Word.
    Any files you move or folders you create in the Finder are instantly reflected in Bridge, and vice versa.
