Anyone got any quick tips to share?
THANKS

You can't do this in iPhoto.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Preview, already on your Mac.
Seashore (free)
_[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
[Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 approx.)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

By using an external editor. Preview is already on your Mac. It's called 'Flip Horizontal'

Or in the elements print window in older versions there's a checkbox right there. in the "improved" print window in recent versions it's under the more options button>printing choices>iron-on transfer>flip image.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Preview can do that - as can PhotoShop Elements and many other photos editors

use one of the styles "Pocket Addressbook" or "Lists".

How do you create a disk image using Disk Copy?

Hello,
Is there any way you can create a disk image using Disc Copy? Is there a better way to create a Disk Image?
I would like to burn two copies of a 4.2 gig folder on my mac. I usually insert a blank DVD-R and then the mac asks if I would like to prepare it at which point I click "yes". An icon of a DVD disk appears on the desktop and then I drag my files onto this icon. It takes a few moments to create the disc image and then I click "burn". However, after the disc is burned the disc image disappears and I have to start all over again if I want to make another copy.
How can I save this disc image? If I could save the disc image, it would enable me to burn a second DVD right after the first without having to create the disk image all over again. This would save a lot if time.
I am using OS 10.1.5
Thank you for any suggestions

Thanks Niel for the info about creating a Disk Image with the Disk Copy utility in OS 10.1.5
That worked however when I insert a blank DVD-R, the disk image still has to be copied to the DVD-R buffer and then it can be burned. And so this doesn't really save any steps - the "copying into the buffer" step still has to occur whether or not you have created a disk image of your files. So creating a disk image doesn't really shorten the process of burning multiple copies of a DVD.
I will try to describe the steps more clearly:
Two of the three steps for creating a DVD (steps 2 and 3) are very time-consuming:
1. put blank DVD into the drive (a DVD disk icon quickly appears)
2. drag files onto this icon (this step takes a long time as the files are copied into the buffer)
3. choose "burn" (the actual burning also takes a long time)
I was hoping that when I create two or more DVDs of the same files, I could first create a Disk image so that when I create the second DVD, step 2 could be skipped. That does not seem to be the case - the disk image still has to be re-loaded. And so I think I will not bother with the Disk image idea - it doesn't seem to be necessary or helpful when burning DVDs to backup data.
Thanks for your suggestion.

How do you create a disk image of windows so u can increase partition size?

Ok, I have installed windows on my mac using bootcamp so i can play pc games and such. I mainly use the mac side of the computer but I have 30 GB devoted to windows. I ran out of space though and now want to uninstall windows so i can make the windows partition bigger. The problem is that I don't want to have to install ALL of my programs over again once i reinstall windows so I want to take a disk image of windows which i can revert to once it is reinstalled. I tried using the disk utility to do it but it keeps giving me error messages. Does anyone know how do create a disk image using windows??? or maybe I'm doing something wrong with the disk utility??? HELP!

The easiest way I have found to do this is to backup the windows partition with a program such as WinClone
http://twocanoes.com/winclone/
Then use the bootcamp assistant to erase and recreate the partition, finally restoring the backup to the new partition. I have done this several times with my mac and it works great.

How do you create a bootable image accessable via OPTION at boot time...

Hello. Is there a way to create a 'bootable image' of a hard drive and save on my raid and access it via the OPTION menu (hold option key at boot)? I would like to create a OSX bootable drive and then save the whole thing in a file. That way I can set up different configs and just boot into whichever I wish to use. Say, one to rescue a crashed hard drive, etc.
Information appreciated. Thank you,
--Scott
Powermac G5 'Quad' Mac OS X (10.4.6)

CCC is used to make a bootable clone. It will also make an image file that can be installed using ASR or that can be used with NetBoot. It does not make a bootable image because you cannot boot from a disk image file. The image file can also be burned onto a CD or DVD, but you will not be able to boot from it because a CD/DVD is not a writeable device, and OS X must be able to write to a startup device.
Another utility, BootCD (not yet usable with Tiger), worked around the problem by rewriting some of the startup code in OS X to force the making of a RAM disk, then moving some of the startup files to the RAM disk and designating the RAM disk as the startup device. Although BootCD will make a bootable and customizable CD using Panther, it does not work with Tiger.
Any questions?

How do I get a mirror image of a photo when using aperture?

can someone explain this i am new to aperture and mac for that matter!!!

You may be able to modify the EXIF data. I don't know quite how Aperture will behave, but Preview works fine.
So, if you have [exiftool|http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool> (which can be a scary proposition if you're not familiar with the Terminal), you can modify the tags in picture headers. One tag, called "Orientation" (See [http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/EXIF.html]) tells your image viewer how to interpret the pixel data in the picture. You can change that tag to "Mirror Horizontal" instead of "Horizontal (normal)" and see what happens. This tells any good image viewer to decode the pixel data in the picture, but do it so the left of the picture in the file is on the right when you display it.
You should do this to picture not managed by Aperture, and then import the picture into Aperture.
So, after installing exiftool, do the following at a Terminal:
exiftool -Orientation='Mirror Horizontal' file1 file2 ... file_n
Where the file1... part is a list of picture files that you want to flip.
I just tried that with a picture on my desktop, and Preview opened it just fine and had it as a horizontal mirror image. I didn't import it into Aperture (Since it's already there as the correct image), but you may want to experiment with this until there's a built-in feature.

How do you create a disk image?

I have Lego Star Wars for the Mac, and I don't want to keep having to get out my portable disc drive all the time to play the game. Is there any way I can make a disk image of this game so that I don't need the disk to play it anymore, and if so, how do I do it? Thanks!

On many Games, Disc Images do not work due to protection methods used, but to try, insert the Disc, (I assume this is a CD or DVD & not a Hard Drive?), then open Disk Utility, highlight the Disc, File>New>New Disk Image from...
