How do i turn my photos into a photo stock where each photo may appear under several titles/albums?

Hi apple dudes, I have about 7500 photos on my work MacBook Pro and what I want to do with them is tag/label each one with up to 5 headings so that each photo could effectively appear in or under multiple albums. I am effectively trying to create a photo stock of loads of images. To further explain, a picture of a dog a boat and a palm tree on a beach at sunset could fall under the heading of "dog", "beach", "tree", "boat", "sunset" etc, you get the picture ;0) Is there an easy way of doing this? I have "inherited" this fantastic job and the current photos may not be in any real order or albums and a lot of them don’t have a date or location attached to them. Can anyone provide any help with this query? Thank guys ;0) x

What I would do is first create the keywords that you want to use to identify the different photos with. You can do that in the Keyword pane (Command+K). Then select the first photo in an event or grouping you want to start with, bring up the keyword pane and start applying the keywords to the photos. When you finish with one use the arrow key on the keyboard to move to the next and apply the appropriate keyword(s).
Then you can create smart albums with the criteria: Keyword is "dog". You can set it to look for two or more keywords. Keyword is "dog" and Keyword is "tree". That will find all photos with either of those two keywords. If you want only photos with both keywords you have to create a Keyword named "dog + tree" and use the criteria Keyword is "dog + tree". A little clumsy but can be done.
Each smart album will contain just those photos you've targeted.

I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto. You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone. How do you turn your document into a jpeg now.

If you chose print, you can save as PDF. If you open the saved PDF in preview, you can save as JPEG, GIF, PNG. FYI you can crop in preview.
Another option is you could use command + shift + 4 to do a screen shot of a specific part of of the screen.

How do I turn a PDF into a JPEG?

Hi joeyk86530628,
If you have Adobe PDF Pack, you can export that PDF file to JPEG format. You can use Acrobat, as well, if you have that.
If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to give it a try. You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. In Acrobat, you choose File > Save as Other > Image > JPEG (or JPEG2000).
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto.

What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

How can I turn my video into a still photo to be copied for a book?

I accidentally took a 2 second video with my iPhone. I just wanted a still photo. I want to put the photo in a photo book. I know I can shorten, or trim, the viedo. But can I stop it entirely so it becomes a photo that I can print? How do I do that?

There's an App for that....
Go to the Apps store and search for Megaphone. There are a few Apps available that may or may not meet your needs. You will have to read the descriptions and reviews to decide - some of them are free.

How do I turn an image into a transparency?

Hi,
There's a question I've seen asked dozens or hundreds of times, and I thought I found an answer a few years ago. I've since forgotten how to do it:
Turn an image into a transparency.
Now, the obvious solution is to set the layer to "multiply." Yes, this is the effect I want. However, I want the layer to be transparent instead.
Another solution is to draw an image on a transparent layer. This works great, but only applies if I create the image from scratch. I want to convert an existing image.
Another solution is multiple steps:
1) Copy image
2) Click "edit in quick mask mode."
3) Paste image
4) Exit quick mask mode.
5) Invert selection.
6) Ctrl+backspace to fill selection with black, on a blank transparent layer.
Result? The image is now transparent! However, this converts the image to greyscale! Great for linework and text, terrible for photos or art!
In an older version of Photoshop 7, I believe I got the following to work:
A) Follow the previous steps 1-6, creating a layer with transparency
B) Copy the original picture to a layer above the transparency
C) Group the layer with the transparency layer below. (Note, grouping doesn't work the same any more.)
D) The top layer provides the colors, but the bottom layer provides the transparency.
E) It is too light, so you take the top layer, and maximize "saturation" 100%.
F) Merge the two layers. It retains the transparency of the bottom layer, with the hue of the top layer.
This no longer works, because I don't know how grouping layers works anymore.
So, I need white pixels to be transparent. Black pixels to have zero transparency. Red pixels to have zero transparency. Etc.
Meanwhile, grey pixels are solid black, but partly transparent. Pink pixels are solid red, but partly transparent.
All pixels are 100% saturated, and the "lightness" is determined by how transparent they are.
So, an analogy would be printing a photo on a transparency. I need to convert an image to a transparency.
If the image/layer were overlaid on white, it would look exactly like the original photo.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Mathematically, it's easy. But I don't know about any filter, process, or method to make the conversion using CS5.
Thanks,
Ben

Hello!
I hope that I understand what you need.
(One could just put the image on a layer, and lower its opacity, but you seem to be looking for an effect in wich the tranparency is not the same for all pixels.)
Try this:
1) Turn your image image as a layer (double-click it if it is a background layer) [In order to add a mask]
2) Select all, Copy (CTRL+a, CTRL+C)
3) add a layer mask (click the rectangle with a circle in the bottom of the layers panel) [to be able to change transparency]
4) target the mask [so that you can past an image in it] ALT+click the mask, paste the image.
5) Invert the colors of the mask (CTRL+I) [in order for the white to be transparent and the black opaque].
You now have a layer whose transparency is based on the lightness of the pixels.
Hope that's what you are after!

How do I insert a photo into Microsoft Word from the new Photos app?

I have Word for Mac 2011 on my Macbook Pro with Retina and am now unable to simply go in and insert a picture into ANY Microsoft program since the update from iPhoto to Photos. I'm an archaeology grad student in the middle of multiple term projects that require countless Figures, almost all of which come from pics I took in the field that are all in Photos. These projects have to be submitted electronically, thus I cannot simply copy and paste everything into Pages (my professors all use PCs). I've found that I can insert an image into Pages and then copy and paste it to Word, but the quality is severely diminished.
Is there some way to change the settings on the Photos app to allow for image insertion? Or do I need to go in and somehow manually copy and re-save every photo into a separate folder outside of the Photos app?

Select a photo in Photos. Press COMMAND-C to copy. Go to your document location where you wish the pic to appear and press COMMAND-V.

How do I turn a DVD into a QT movie?

I'm trying to import several DVD's into an iMovie of a friends memorial. (The originals were played on a tv screen but of course the videotaped version of the screen was barely readable.)
I've asked in the Quick Time forum how to get the QT movie into iMovie with the idea that then I would export it to miniDV and make tapes or DVD's with copy machines I have. Does this make any sense or am I "walking around the barn"?? Thanks to anyone who can help. Kate

To convert the MPG-2 content into something useable, you can use DVDxDV at http://www.dvdxdv.com/DVDxDV.overview.htm
or MPEG Streamclip at http://www.squared5.com/ which requires Apple's $20 MPEG-2 Playback Component
Roxio's Toast Titanium 7 will also let you convert MPEG-2 to DV
