How to avoid iPhoto to export pictures' name to Facebook?

Hi everyone!
Well, everything is pretty much said in the title of the discussion. However, for those wishing a few, yet useless details, here I go :
so I am using iPhoto'11 to export some of my photos to Facebook and have noticed a pretty annoying behaviour of the software. Indeed, it exports the name of all photographs to Facebook, which I would rather it did not do. It's actually quite tedious to delete one by one the title of each picture! Is there a way to customise the exporting settings?
Thanks you!

If you want to be able to incrementally backup just your iPhoto library when you want Synk Standard is one of several backup applications that can do it. I'm able to incrementally backup my library after adding new photos, editing photos, working on a book, etc. in less than a minute. Usually around 30 seconds.
I use Synk to manually backup specific items during the day to an external HD and let Time Machine do the whole shebang every hour to it's own external HD. This gives me two independent backups of the most important items on my Mac.

  • How to avoid duplicates in export?

    Hi
    Is there any way to avoid duplicates when exporting from LR4/avoid exporting the same picture(to the same folder) again?

    I stand corrected - thanks Jim .
    I think I had forgotten this because of how I use publish services / collections.
    All of my publish services have exactly one (smart) collection, which defines the photos to be published.
    I don't create a multitude of publish collections in order to define an associated publish tree - the tree is defined by the source folders. I started this convention before Lr was a glimmer in Adobe's eyes (even before digital photography was invented). If I was inventing now from scratch I might do it differently, but this is one reason I get aggravated when some of the experts in this forum continually "forget" that the need to maintain a prescribed convention is sometimes an absolute requirement (or at least *highly* desirable), and Lr should be able to adapt to the convention - and not the other way around.
    If I quit Lr today, I could still maintain published trees without Lr's publishing collections. If your scheme depends on publishing collections which have no visibility outside Lightroom (e.g. a multitude of hard drive publishing collections), then you'd be screwed (so to speak) if you wanted to migrate to another software for maintenance. Not only that, but if you rebuild your catalog, all such collections are lost (unless you know how to use plugins to preserve them). Even if your scheme depends on regular (non-publishing I mean, whether smart of not) collections, and you use jf's Collection Publisher to publish in matching hierarchy, you'd still be screwed when migrating, since those collections do not exist outside Lightroom.
    Impact may vary of course, but I like to minimized dependence on a specific software if possible.
    Folders exist regardless of which software you use to edit your photos. Put another way: collection hierarchies are proprietary, folder structure isn't.
    So, although lots of people prefer jf's Collection Publisher (understandably), it's worth considering jf's Folder Publisher too, or my very own TreeSync Publisher.
    Cheers,

  • My Photoshop Elements moved my pix from iPhoto but the picture names have been lost???

    I installed  a copy of Photoshop Elements 12 yesterday.  I had been using iPhoto and had literally hundreds of pictures, each with an aphpa-numeric names.  I imported the photos from IPhoto into Elements 12, but there are no longer identifying names on any picture.   Where are the names?  There is a column of numeric file names in [Organizer] along  the left sides - which mean nothing to me.  I have tried every button I could find and searched the Photoshop Elements for Dummies for a possible solution.  I asked two friends familiar with full blown Photoshop and they are perplexed.  So am I.  Has anybody any useful suggestions?  Thank you

    If you used the "from iPhoto" command, you made duplicates of your iphoto library photos. Just delete them and then decide how you want to proceed. "From iPhoto" is to be used if you decide you want to use the elements organizer exclusively and not iphoto anymore, but you don't have to do that. You can make a small test catalog with just some photos from iphoto, or you can set up PSE as your external editor from iphoto, or you can export photos from iphoto to the desktop, edit them in PSE and then reimport them back to iphoto as new images.
    Which would you like to try?

  • How to make iphoto read the pictures folder?

    I have thousands of pictures in subfolders in Pictures folder, and not iphoto library. How do I make iPhoto read all those images in those own subfolders? I DO NOT want iPhoto to copy all the images to another folder, as that makes the filmstrips things way too large (thousands per view) slowing iPhoto way down, and I already have all the pictures in the folders I want them in. Apple isn't that stupid, so of course there is a way for iphoto to simply read other folders and use that as a library instead of just copying all the pictures to another folder. So: How do I do this?

    But organizers really and truly should be able to start with existing folders and work from there.
    We are dealing with the application that is here, not the one you think should be.
    I tried dragging folders into iPhoto, but it just said it couldn't import the pictures.
    Where are the photos? You've been saying they are in the Pictures folder. Are they in the iPhoto Library Folder? iPhoto will not import from the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible protection against duplication. If the pics are in the iPhoto Library Folder move them outside and then import. If they are not in the iPhoto Library Folder can you give me details of any error messages you are getting, or what exactly you can see in the iPhoto Window.
    Importing photos would just put everything into folders by year.
    ? Where would this happen?
    Is there some way for Front Row to read something other than an iPhoto library please?
    Not as far as I know. But you could post on the Front Row forum.

  • How to stop iPhoto from uploading pictures to Photostream?

    Hi guys,
    I'm struggling with the following issue: I want my Photostream to be filled with the pictures I took on my iPhone and my iPad, but not those I have in iPhoto.
    Is there a possibility to show the Photostream in iPhoto, but not allowing iPhoto to import its own pictures?
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

    If  the changed preferences does not stick, I'd remove the iPhoto preferences.
    Quit iPhoto
    Delete the  preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist  from the Library folder in your Home folder:
         ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Delete the com.apple.iPhoto folder with all its contents from the containers folder in your users library  ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    Restart the system and launch iPhoto again.
    Your user library may still behidden; to reveal it, select the "Home" folder icon (the little house)  in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options". Enable "Show Library Folder.

  • How to I export pictures from iphoto to a sd card

    how do I export pictures from iphoto to a sd card?

    léonie wrote:
    Exporting from iPhoto to the SD card is preferable. Dragging to the card will only write the lower quality  preview files and not the high resolution originals.
    Export to a folder on the Desktop and then drag the folder to the card. If the file system on the SD Card is not MacOS Extended (Joournaled), you'll avoid a problem with the limit of files, that can be stored on the top level of the card by collecting all files in a folder.
    Actually I found the opposite was true.
    As you can see in the following picture, the dragged photo, which is the one named IMG_2268.JPG  retained more metadata and had a larger file size than the one I exported which was reduced in file size, and lost a bit of the meta data in the export.   Including the creation date, and the latitude and longitude.
    I think Dragging is the better option.

  • I have several albums in a folder in iphoto.  The pictures are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external hard drive and have them stay in order w/labels. How can I do that?  Thank You

    I have several "albums" in a "folder "in iphoto.  The pictures, and videos (from a camera and smart phone) are ordered, labeled, and dated. I want to put them on an external harddrive. How can I do that and keep them in order, etc. What I have tried reorders them, separates them into the camera pictures, phone pictures, and movies. We are not sauvy in Apple or iphoto so this has been extremely frustrating for us.

    Files on disk have no order - they are given the order by the viewing program - finder on the Mac - using the finder you can view files by many different sorts - file name - date created - date moified - size - etc
    Deciede how you are going to sort them when you view them and then export them so that sort works for you
    Generally using an alpha sort to view and exporting using the sequential nameing option is the solution - see the user tip on exporting for the options available

  • How to avoid Moire Effects (jiggered still pictures) using iM and iDVD.

    This is a discussion going on forever and forever in this forum. I had the problem of bad looking slideshows myself, and I am hearing the same tips over and over again that just don't work. This is what I found out on how to avoid moire effects in your still images, when you want to edit a slideshow using iMovie - and I personally think, this explanation makes a lot of sense.
    Try it on your own and you will have had the last bad looking still image slidehow on the TV screen ever!! Here we go:
    Like everybody here I am talking about the process of creating a slideshow incuding movie strips in iMovie to get as a final result a DVD with menus and such using iDVD.
    And the common problem with stills and iMovie 5.02 are the so called jiggered pictures iMovie creates. Call it a moire effect, if you'd like.
    Whenever full resolution still images are importet from iPhoto into iMovie, the quality that iMovie will spit out in the end is disgusting. Period. Just disgusting.
    It has nothing to do with that iMovie does not display it properly on the Monitor or we are just in preview mode - the results are bad there and will be bad (maybe even worse) on the TV screen.
    There is no SIGNIFICANT difference between wether the pictures are imported with KB on or off, whether they are imported as still frames or as video clips using iMovie "import" function. iMovie can treat the color fairly bad, overprocesses the pictures and - worst of all, the moiree effects you will see in the endresult are just very very bad. It is worse when the pictures are panning a lot (KB).. This is true for every picture containing a lot of detail (Trees, Forests, horizontol lines (stairs) etc.) - not so bad for closeup face shots, unless that person is really old
    There is no SIGNIFICANT difference on the result by how the iMovie project is fed into iDVD. When the movie is sent to iDVD using the iM command "send to..." the quality is worse (and you let iM render when it asks) than if the movie is dragged into the iDVD window - but again, the difference is not significant. The result will suck. The DVD will also look bad, when the iMovie is exported has high res quicktime first, before imported into iDVD. Again, its slightly better that way, but not significant.
    Whenever a slideshow is created in iPhoto and than exported to iDVD (or via being a quicktime movie through iMovie into iDVD) the result will be however stunning. But that totally defeats the purpose of iMovie and the degree of freedom of designing slidehows in a very appealing manner.....
    The problem I think lies in how iMovie processes still images. And this is not a bug, but more of a mathematical/programmatical problem. iMovie has to REDUCE THE RESOLUTION of your still. A 2000x3000 pixel image @ 300 dpi(roughly the dimensions of a 6 MP image) has to be downsized to a TV image (NTSC or PAL, whichever) which has a resolution of approximately 480x640. HD is accordingly higher. The amount of pixels has to be reduced. iMovie can do that. NOT GOOD. But it can. The problem starts when the picture is panning around (KB). iMovie makes a let us say 5 second movie @ 30 fps out of one still image. Almost every frame will be slightly different from the previous one due to the used KB effect. So, the routine of iMovie does this downsize calculation for each single frame - and it removes each time different pixels from the still image, due to a slightly different source still image. Got it?
    Now, when you look on how moiree effects occur (which is some weired math in it's own) than it makes sense, that we see all this jiggereing in horizontol lines of high res. patterns.
    I found that if I reduce the size of each image in Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) prior to importing it into iMovie, the quality of the final product that iMovie and subsequently iDVD spits out in the end is AMAZING (reduce the dpi to approx. 72, so the image resolution is roughly 480x640). This is not a difficult process, because both programms (PS and PSE) handle BATCH PROCESSING. Just let the Mac work for a couple of hours or so.... its WORTH IT (and don't forget to make copies of the high res originals beforehand... :D).
    (before you resize, find out about how to properly resize and rescale an image!!!!)
    I am slightly annoyed that I found that out after producing a long long long long and really good slightshow, that is watchable but looks REALLY cheasy and cheap).
    I hope this helps out.

    I agree that iMovie's still image quality is embarassingly bad and has many bugs.
    Even with no Ken Burns, the sharp images tend to flicker on a TV because iMovie doesn't blur them properly.
    And as you very well described, iMovie's Ken Burns produces uneasy zooms/pans because the subpixel rendering is, uh, suboptimal.
    iMovie's immortal rendering bug when exporting non-Ken Burns'ed images to iDVD/tape doesn't make things any better.
    Yes, bicubically downsampling the input images to 640x480 or adding gaussian blur to the megapixel input images takes care of the flicker and uneasy zooms/pans, but as a side-effect the maximal zoom-ins are then TOO blurry.
    The best workaround is to use Photo To Movie's higher quality export setting. It has the best quality rendering engine (I recently compared it to Still Life and FotoMagico). Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied customer of Photo To Movie.

  • How to get iPhoto '08 to export comments as part of iWeb photo page?

    I've got an event in iPhoto '08, and want to export it as a photo page (darkroom template). It exports all the photos and titles, but not the comments from iPhoto. I cannot figure out how to make it export the comment. Where is the setting for this?
    It's very easy in iPhoto to export as a regular html with the comments, but somehow not to iWeb.

    Marguerite:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's an Applescript that will take your comments and put them in the title field in iPhoto. Then when you create the photo page in iWeb the comments will be in the title field and will be displayed. Once the iWeb page is created you can go back in iWeb and use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name menu option and get the old title back.
    Here's where you get the Applescript. Be sure to read the comments to see where the one error, regarding the Å character that is in the script: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070822121100394&query=applescript %2Btitle
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Picture names not showing in iphoto+mail

    I recently updated to ilife ´08 and can´t figure out how to get the actual data names to show. I don´t sant to see titles,ratings and keywords.. I want to see the actual names of the pictures. Also when I hit the mail button in iphoto the pictures are put in the mail... without the pictures name. If I drag and drop the pics to a desktop folder the names ar5e of course correct. But many of the people I send mails to are not even aware how to drag and drop. If I send someone an email with 40 pictures to chose from,I want them to see the names underneath the pictures in the email without having to drag and drop. This was always how it worked in ilife ´07 and it makes choosing the pictures and telling me which ones they want in high quality a very easy process. I can´t even figure out how to sort the photos by "NAME". If there is no way to change it then I will be going back to the older version. Sometimes "improvement" is not a good thing.
    Does anybody know how to do this?

    When you select a pic to Email in the iPhoto Window and hit the email button you have the option to include title and comments with the photo.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    In iPhoto you have two concepts that are related:
    Title is a name that you give to a photo in iPhoto
    Filename is the name of the file that contains the photo.
    Which are you referring to when you say "name"?

    because you are exporting the original?
