How to Arrange Photos on an iPhoto calendar--Customize? Reconfigure?

When making a calendar, is it possible to customize the layout of the photo (top) pages? (As you can do on book in Aperture?) For example, create multiple photo boxes laid out in a custom pattern?
As to the pre-determined layouts, how can I reconfigure them? For example, for a page with three photos, one long one and two regular sized, how can I cause the long picture to be, say, across the top v. on the left side v. on the right side v. along the bottom?

Basically - No
iPhoto is much less simpler and less flexible than Aperture
In books sometimes the order you place the photos makes a difference in how the layout adjusts to them - sometimes it does not - but in general the layout is the layout

How to arrange photos in camera roll datewise its not showing datewise please let me know

how to arrange photos in camera roll datewise its not showing datewise please let me know

Emile
Bear with me a minute. You're confusing a lot of things.
1. As Larry says, on Windows you are using a File Manager for you your photos. All well and good if it works for you, but limited. Why? Because it doesn't leverage any of the extra information available with photos files. Essentially, a File Manager doesn't distinguish between a photo nd a Word file or a Music file. They are just files.
2. Photo Managers like iPhoto (Or Picasa, Aperture, Lightroom et al) work differently. They are designed to leverage the additional information available in the photo file. Case in point: Date. In the File Manager you have folders created for Year/Month/Day. In iPhoto the pics are grouped into Events automatically. These Events are based on the date and time the Photos were taken, and which is recorded in the Exif metadata for the photo file.
As we all know, when one downloads pictures from a camera, their"names" appear as a bunch of letters and the number indicating thesequence.
These are Filenames assigned by the Camera. In iPhoto you don't change Filenames you edit Titles. Titles are quite independent of filenames and are an entry in the Exif metadata.
I'm not sure what you've done in the renaming sequence, but iPhoto does not have a Sort -> by Name command. There is a Sort By Title command.
But you would not use Events for this job anyway. You would use an Album. Create an Album, drag the pics to it and then you can sort them in any order you want, manually. Then using the Batch Change Command you can create a sequence for them. So, Title the pics 'House Sale' and check the box to append number and the result:
House Sale 01, House Sale 02 etc

How to arrange photos in Aperture slide shows to the beat of the music?

Is there anyone that knows how to arrange photos to the beat of the music in Aperture slide shows? I have tried to do a search for this topic, looked at "help" and still can get things to work properly. The "beat of music" command seems to be grayed out. Is there a bug in the software? Any help would be appreciated.

I have been following this thread with great interest. I have tried to do this in Aperture as well. Jumping ahead just a bit to what might be David's next issue, once we figure out why the option is not available to him.
For me once the music has been added the " Align slide to the beat" is available. However it doesn't seem to do anything.
I have accomplished this in iMovie and Final Cut Express. In both of these programs you have to actually mark the beats for things to work. You mark the beats and the software sets the play duration to match. This is pretty easy in iMovie. I am hoping for a similar or better interface in Aperture 3. How is this accomplished in Aperture?

How to arrange photos in an album, PE11

I am unable to find how to arrange photos in an album in PE11. Anybody have an idea?

When you have selected an album, look at the menu 'Sort by', next to the 'All media' button. Set it to 'Album order'. Then you can select (highlight) one or several items and move them around in the browsing space.
Note that PSE11 is missing the alphabetical sort order (that has been introduced in PSE12).

How to arrange photos acoording to time of exposed, taken by 3 photographers dumped in one file ?

How to arrange photos acoording to time of exposed, taken by 3 photographers dumped in one file ?

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
Best Regards,
Ankur

How to edit photo size in Iphoto

Hi Guys,
Im trying to find a way to reduce the size of a photo so I can post it on a message board. I cant find where to do this! I tried "cropping" the photo but I dont want to cut the photo I just want to reduce the size from 2048 x 1536 to 800 x 600 (pixels). Is there a way to reduce by percentages like in Windows??? Thanks for the help Im still new to my Imac...Im going to assume there is a way to do this!!!
Dr. Pee

You'll have to export the photo out of iPhoto using the File->Export->File Export menu option which will let you select the pixel dimension and the quality/compression level of the new file.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to import photos from multiple iphoto libraries to iPad

How do I import photos from multiple iPhoto libraries from my iMac to the new iPad? I have 4 different iPhoto Libraries on my iMac.
I can import photos from iPhoto library 1, to the iPad, but when I import photos from iPhoto Library 2, created on my iMac to the iPad,
it deletes the original photos that I imported from the first iPhoto Library and replaces them with the import from library 2.
I only want to import selected photos from each library to my iPad. Can someone plese help me?

As Ralph has suggested, if you want to sync photos from your computer, you must include all photos that you want to sync - with each and every sync. You cannot import photos from another Main photo folder on the computer. You must create an all-in-one photo library in iPhoto and sync from that folder. You can select one level of sub folders from within that main folder, but all of those folders must be included in the main folder - in your case it is in iPhoto. That is just how the sync process works with Photos.
I don't know how using third party apps affects the photos that you have already synced from iPhoto, but take a look at these apps in this Google search. Maybe Wifi transfer is the way to go for you.

How access iphone 4 Photo Library on iphoto?, how access iphone Photo Library on iphoto?

the 'Photo Library' that is on my iphone 4 is from my previous iphone 3. I know how to sync, but no where on iphoto does the phones Photo Library appear. How do I access this?

How to export photo out of iPhoto environment?

I want to upload some of the pictures in an album in the internet and I do not get the proper information for me to do it. It seems that Apple has closed it to keep it inside their environment in order to force people to print it with them, or not to be able to manage it out of this application what makes from this a Nazi app since it keeps you out of being able to do what you want with your own photos. Apple keeps users hostages of it. It is far from being at least a little fair. Come on Apple!

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How do you make photos vertical in iPhoto calendar?

When making a calendar in iPhoto, and you choose 6 or 7 photos to be displayed on that month, how do you make the 4 little photos vertical?

You can't change the frame. But you can Control-click on the photos and select Fit Photo to Frame Size and it will reduce the size of the photo so the entire portrait photo will display in the frame. The excess background will be the same color of the page's background.

Photoshop elements 8 for Mac - how to move photos (events) from iphoto to pse

I have figured out how to move one photo over through opening a file. But I can't move a full event or album from iphoto. Ive tried going to bridge but when i click on the iphoto folder, it takes me into my iphoto and I'm not sure what do then, no buttons or anything that seems to connect to PSE. Any help would be appreciated! I wish Adobe supported this product better for Mac users. Maybe they read these discussions?

Hi,
Are you opening iPhoto files from within Photoshop Elements? You can open all the files in an iPhoto event into PSE8 through a single click.
In Photoshop Elements, go to File menu > Open. In the browser window that appears, click Photos under Media in the sidebar. Now, you should be able to see iPhoto with all its events. When you click on an event and "Open" it, you should get all the photos of that event in the project bin.
Is this the problem being asked?
Thanks.

Is it possible to add the date to a photo in an iPhoto calendar?

After a picture is dragged to a day on my calendar the date disappears, is it possible to add or restore the date? I am using the latest update of iPhoto.

The photo in the calendar replaces the date. You can ctrl-click the photo and add a caption to show the day number.
Clicking the disclosure triangle to the right of the caption will show a panel where you can edit the font (all this tested in iPhoto 9.5.1), but it does look funny, you'd be better off by not adding the day number:

Controlling Photo Quality in iPhoto Calendars and Books..

As is the case with many of the processes in iPhoto, I am unclear as to what is taking place when I place and order with Apple for a Photo Book or Calendar. I use an 8 MP Olympus DSLR and shoot at max resolution so my average image is 3200x2400 and # MB+. And yet when I place an order for a calendar containing 12 full page images shot at that resolution the down upload time is nowhere near as long as you would expect for a file that size. I have also noticed that the images in the calendar appear to be of lower quality than when printed out on an ink jet printer. Does iPhoto export the photos at full resolution, or is there something taking place here behind the scenes to speed up upload times?
Thanks,
Win

Terence,
Is there a loss of quality when the photos are converted to pdf files? If so, is there any way around this? I am trying to maintain as high a quality as possible.
Thanks,

How To Burn Photos OUTSIDE of iPhoto?

Im tired of iPhoto, the whole program is just a mess. Every time i burn a disc from there it puts that whole mess of a puzzel of folders just to get to the photos. How do you burn discs outside of iphoto? I tried the burn folder, but it did nothing. every time i hit the burn button it told me to insert a disc (which I had already done, brand new, enough space, everything was fine about the disc) Why does apple make it so complicated to do such a normal task, almost want to go back to my PC. Same thing goes for DVDs, I cant burn a DVD for the life of me. Ive read the instructions on their support page, and follow them pecicly, and nothing. always just spaces out on me.

Hi adamphoto,
This is what you have been doing....
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165523
this is what you want to do...
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
Can you explain again the exact steps you are going through to burn a CD/DVD.
What do you want to burn on the DVD?
this is what i am doing right now...
Create a burn folder. It should be listed in the left column of the finder window.
Drag the files/folders you want to burn on top of the burn folder in the left hand column.
Highlight the burn folder in the left hand column.
In the window on the right will be the folders/files you dragged into the burn folder. there will also be a burn button in that window.
Click the burn button.
You will be asked to insert a disc.
Insert a disc.
the little window will go away and another window will pop up and you will be asked to type in a name for the disc.
Type in a name.
Follow instructions from there and the burning will start

How to arrange photo orders for slide show?

Hello,
The photos I uploaded to the iPod are in seemingly random order. How is that order determined? Should I rearrange them in iTunes or in the original folder first? How would I do so? Thanks!
