How do you make a duplicate copy of a photo in iPhoto library

I have been trying to make and additional photo in iphoto, ie give it a new name and edit it but still keep the original untouched.

In iPhoto select the photo you want to duplicate and either do Command+D or from the 'Photos' menu select Duplicate. To rename it select the duplicate and do Command+I and edit the file name.

  • How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

    How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

    By using an external editor. Preview is already on your Mac. It's called 'Flip Horizontal'
    In order of price here are some other suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    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.

  • How do I generate a duplicate copy of my photos on another hard drive without loosing the keywords?

    I want to back up my photos on another hard drive and access them from my main catalog? How do I do that? If I use Lightroom to move the folder onto another hard drive it does not give me the option to copy them. I have to actually move them, which defeats the purpose because I still have only one copy.
    All of my images are in DNG format.

    Backup copies should never be accessed by LR or any other editing application. They are "safety net" copies to be used only when the original image files become lost, damaged, or corrupted.
    As dj_paige explained you also need to include regular backup copies of your LR catalog(s) on the backup hard drive. Any file & folder backup application will do this for you by keeping the files and folders on your backup drive up-to-date (i.e. synchronized) with the primary drive. If on a Mac you can use Time Machine if on a Windows system there are numerous applications available, both paid and freeware. I use FreeFileSync for backing up all my media files, including Pictures, Music, Videos, Documents, Settings, and of course LR catalog.
    If you're intention was to use the backup copies as separate editing copies, please take a look at Virtual Copies.

  • How do you move the duplicated copy of a photo?

    I just upgraded to iPhoto 11.  I want to duplicate a photo that is in one event - and move (cut/paste) this duplicate to another event - leaving the original where it was.  When I try to do this it moves the original and the duplicate - even though I only select the duplicate to cut.  I have done this many times before I upgraded with no problems.  Can this not be done with 11?

    Other folks have reported this and it seems to be an issue with 11.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    Better option: use Albums. When you have a photo in two Events you use double the disk space. With Albums on the other hand, you use no extra disk space. A shot can be in 50 or more albums but because the Album just links to the shot in the Library no exta disk space is used.

    HOW DO YOU MAKE A VIGNETTE AROUND A PHOTO IN PSE 7?  ALSO, HOW DO  YOU MAKE THE PHOTO KIND OF HAZY LOOKING?  JUST A SLIGHT BIT FOR EFFECT.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!  

    1966desertrat,
    There are various ways to do this; here is one:
    Open picture file
    Duplicate background layer
    Open new blank layer, and fill with white (Edit>fill>white)
    Drag this layer between the background layer and the background copy layer
    On the top layer, make a selection of the subject by dragging with the Elliptical marquee tool, position it to embrace the subject - can use arrow keys on keyboard to fine-tune
    Go to Select>inverse
    Go to Select>feather>try 25px - experiment for degree of feather
    Hit delete on keyboard
    Go to Select>inverse
    Go to Select>deselect
    To blur, go to Filter>blur>gaussian blur and adjust slider to suit

  • How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hello Forum.
    How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
    I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
    Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
    The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool.  But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
    So I tried something new.  I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area.  Then I coped this area.  Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator.  But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
    How do I make the background transparent.
    I made this small video to show what I am talking about:
    http://youtu.be/2LgMGEF6z10

    Don't Copy/Paste the image.
    Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

  • How do you make Mozilla listen to users and stop FFFFirefox Auto Updating despite being set to NOT auto update?

    I am spitting nails
    After all the STUPID problems outlined here
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999831?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
    I set Firefox to stop auto updating,
    Then the other day I installed a new user on my laptop, when they loaded Firefox it auto updated MY version of Firefox.
    Has NOTHING been learnt?
    STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID
    So I have 2 questions
    How do you make Mozilla listen to users?
    and how do prevent what happened to me happening again?

    SuperSluether
    Not a millionth, you have only provided 150 answers and I doubt they were all this issue.
    If you don't like it, don't use it.
    If a business took this attitude they would soon be out of business
    Updates help KEEP YOU SAFE
    Sometimes, but in my experience FFirefox updates can really screw up your system, lose you data, mess up your user interface. I have run IT for one of the biggest intranets on the planet and we never allowed even Mictosoft updates until we did User Acceptance Testing and understood the impact of the upgrade. I am a grown up not a child, I have system where I test updates for performance, security and impact, I WILL DECIDE when I want to install it. If Mozilla wants to provide real security updates I would take them but if you look at the link in my OP you will see it said an update was security and it completely messed up.
    Updates add tons of great new features
    Actually with FFirefox in my experience they take more away than they add, things I did not ask them to take, they do not look at my config and leave my settings as they were and then tell me about new options, no they completely screw my productivity as it takes days to figure out how to undo the kwap they have added. Copying the AWFUL Chrome interface is not an improvement, Google has one of the worst UI's on the planet accross all their products.
    Firefox is designed to be customized PER USER, NOT CROSS-SYSTEM
    There are some things that benefit from being per user and some that are per machine, windows has group policies per machine and per user. My OP is telling Mozilla that this is another area where they have "designed" badly, I tell them this so that they improve it and in the vain hope that there is some config setting that will stop this nonsense.
    So SuperSluether you have not really helped, all you seem to say is FO if you do not like it. Good job you do not run a business. With that attitude probably best you do not contribute.

    Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.”  I ordered the InDesign CC today.  Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects!  Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL!  Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.

  • How do you weed through duplicate images?

    I love that Aperture allows tasks to be done many different ways. I'd like to hear some ideas on how to do this -
    I am going through and finally getting my old photos from 2002 to current managed in Aperture. Many of the images are a mess on CD backup and more recent images are from the pc (I could get these from an EHD or in iPhoto). Long story short, I have LOTS of duplicate images from one disk to another. I mean the same photo two or three times.
    My library has a top blue folder for the year. The projects within there are almost all by month year (i.e. Apr 2003). As far as I can tell, all of these images are the same - but one project might have an image that another one doesn't have. Should I worry about this or not? I am very detail oriented and anal about it - so set me straight if I need a slap into reality
    Should I just go through my library and view by date and delete the duplicates without regard to which CD they came from? What would you do? How do you weed through duplicate images in this regard?
    I'd love to hear your thoughts!

    I almost thought you hit a winner there... even for general use. I started to read it and realized the import window cannot be resized. Why did I think that? Well, in general, have you ever imported from your camera and then took more pictures? Do you always remember what the last downloaded image was? Wouldn't it be great to resize that import window and see the actual library underneath to check??!
    Anyway, my imports are done so .... last night I did a few months worth and I was in date view within 2003 (not the smart folder at the top under Library) and went through using the 9 key to reject the images that were duplicate. Some of them I could go to the project and reject in larger groups, but mostly it was one by one. It is a painstaking process, but ensures I have every image. Once I know I have it all, I will delete the rejects.
    Keep in mind - my duplicates are not in the same project - they exist in multiple projects, sometimes two or three.
    No other tips out there? I was sure there were enough power users that would have some secret tip to make life easier with Aperture.

    im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player.  i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
    after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie.  after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov.  i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players.  what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player.  can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export.  im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time.  please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto.  thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

    Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players.  thank you again for your reply *=)

  • How do you display exact duplicates in Itunes 11. It is now missung under the file?

    How do you display exact duplicates in Itunes 11. It is now missung under the file?

    Right-click on this direct link to ExactDuplicates and "download" or "save link as..." to a location of your choice. Double-click to the file to run it. You should get something a bit like this:
    If your system will allow it my script will produce a progress bar so you can see what is going on, otherwise you will have to be patient, it will carry on working in the background.
    After scanning for duplicates it then adds them to a new playlist. For large libraries this process can be quite slow. (Very slow if you also have old hardware like me.)
    Finally you'll get a results window like this (from a different test run, as I didn't have time for the full one to finish when I was grabbing screenshots).
    You can use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Leave at least one track behind from each repeated group and don't send anything to the recycle bin unless you are sure you have more than one physical copy.
    The DeDuper script has several advantages over cleaning by hand. Automating the process allows preservation & amalgamation of ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. See this thread for more detail.

  • How do I make and keep a copy of a photo in iPhoto so that I can edit the copy and keep the unedited original?

    How do I make and keep a copy of a photo in iPhoto (version 9.5.1) so that I can edit the copy and keep the unedited original?

    You don't have to. iPhoto does that automatically. Note the command in Photos menu to 'Revert to Original' and the original can be exported at any time using the Export command.
    Longer answer:
    All edits in iPhoto are virtual. The database records your decisions and then applies them to a copy of the original. So your original is untouched. Your edited version is never "fixed" until you export it.

  • How do I make a  backup copy of purchased software ?

    Hi everybody :
                          I just purchased PhotoShop Elements 12 (Download).  How do I make a backup copy of this software ?  In the event of a System Crash.      I have a copy on my DeskTop and in my Startup Menu.

    Hi stanulg1952
    You need not to make a copy .. In case your system crashes, you can download it again ....
    Otherwise, You can write it on a optical Disc and use it in future ....But make sure you keep the Installation files on the disk, not the one which are there on your desktop after installtion
