How to find original iPhoto Album photos in Library (by Album content)

I have run out of Macbook space (OSX 10.7.5) and want to put all my photos on an external hard drive and share them between MacBook and iMac (no cloud please).  I want to do this by "Album" name because that's how they are organized.  I don't get the "events" thing in iPhoto, nor am I interested in the "Faces" stuff.  Just simple file access is all I want. 
QUESTION 1:  How can I find the original photos after exporting by album?  I want to delete these permanently from the Library -- from my MAC.
QUESTION 2:  Is there a smarter way to get these photos onto my external drive than using "export?"  And, is there a way to re-size a batch of files as opposed to one by one?  I made all my camera photos the largest size possible, one reason I've run out of disk space.  But to individually re-size would be impossible.
Note:  I'm in a mess with photos.  Have 20K on MacBook and about 25K on my iMac.  There are 8 different iPhoto Libraries on my iMac, created by me in an effort to organize but I didn't know what I was doing and they are a total mess.  My goal is to get them all into this hard drive from both computers then start all over again.  But they need to be by album.  I'm not an "Event" person -- doesn't make sense to me, so I've put all my photos in albums.  When I start over I may not use iPhoto.  Thinking of going back to Windows actually.

Sorry I'm terrible at explaining and even using my macbook haha. Let me try again. I imported some photos that I wanted to group together into an album. I forgot to create the album before importing a new set of photos which then took the place of the previous ones in the "last import" album. Is there anywhere or any way I can easily find the selection of photos I forgot to put into an album together without having to select them one by one from the "all photos" section? These would be the only pictures in my Photos application that haven't been organized into an album yet if that helps; however, these photos were not taken on the same date.

  • Can I auto-delete Album photos from Library once Album itself is deleted ? (iPhoto)

    Tell me I've missed something really simple, please !
    I've just spent 3 hours carefully selecting 250 single photos dotted around my entire iPhoto Library (8,000 pics)
    I've put them in an Album ready to export.
    After exporting this Album, I will want to delete the Album - and, crucially, all the originals from my Library - surely I don't have to spend another 3 hours sifting through the 8,000-strong Library again to relocate each of the 250 ?  Isn't there some one-click option, having exported the Album, and now ready to delete the Album, like, e.g. Delete Originals from Library After Deleting this Album ??   (I understand I can't only delete the Album to get rid of these pics completely, cos the originals will stay hidden and dispersed about the Library)
    Thank you for any help

  • How to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    how to find and delete duplicate photos in photo app

    Photos has no built-in tools to screen the library for duplicates. It relies on the warning on import, that should prevent you from importing duplicates.
    Once duplicate shave been imported, delete them manually, or use third-party tools.
    For example, these new apps claim to work with Photos:
    Power photos:  Fat Cat Software
    Duplicate annihilator: Brattoo Propaganda Software - Products

  • How to find and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto

    How do I fins and delete duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    There are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
    Duplicate Annihilator
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates (free)
    HOWEVER, only try the above if you are seeing the duplicates in the iPhoto window.  If you are seeing duplicate images via the Finder then you probably do not have duplicates.  That's because at a minimum iPhoto will have two separate image files of each photo, the original and the thumbnail file. If the photo is a portrait oriented photo from a camera with the auto-rotate feature there will be a 3rd, modified image file in iPhoto, the rotated version.
    So be sure where you're seeing these duplicates.

  • Auto HDR: How do I find original non-HDR photo?

    Hi,
    I have always turned HDR off by default, but with iOS 7.1 I have been trying out the Auto HDR feature and I'm pretty unfamiliar with it.
    It should be saving two versions of my photos. Is there a way to find them? In my camera roll, I only see one photo. I am guessing it is the HDR photo as there is a lot of contrast.
    However If I open these up in iPhoto, they all appear as edited and I can choose the original image.
    Is there another way to see the original vs HDR photo?
    Also, some pictures, but not all, have a small 'rectangular' icon with HDR text in them. What does this mean?
    Thank you!

    I figured out the answer.
    It turns out I had accidentally enabled the 'chrome' filter on all of the pictures I was taking. The icon with the 3 overlapping circles at the bottom right in the camera app were in color, indicating I had a filter on. Another thing I was not aware of oops.
    That is why my pics all seemed to have extra contrast. The chrome filter was close enough to the original that I thought it was actually HDR, being unfamilar with how HDR should look.
    If I had set something like black and white as a filter I would have realized what was going on sooner.
    I also figured out that HDR was actually saving both of my photos. Scanning through my library I found a few duplicate images. As mentioned above, the HDR version has a little rectangular icon with 'HDR'.
    Sorry for the confusion and I hope this helped somebody!
    Thank you for your courage

  • IPhoto some photo's in my album seem to be locked for editing, how can I unlock them

    I'm quite new to using iPhoto. Now I have created several albums that I would like to have printed. However, some photo's in these albums need some editting. Normally I click the photo (in the album) and the editing tools show up.
    With some of the photo's in the albums this doesn't work. Can anyone tell me how to these "locked" photo's can be "unlocked"?
    Thanks!

    What do you see when you click on the Edit button?  What makes you think the file is locked?

  • How to find a selection of photos taken at different dates but imported together. I want them in the same album but they're no longer in the "last import" album.

    I imported a bunch of photos taken at different dates that i wanted to group together in the same album but they are not in the "last import" album and are all just mixed in with "all photos" according to the dates they were taken and it's impossible to sift through them all to select the ones i wanted.

  • How to find origin of scrolled UITableView

    Hi, I'm using self.view.frame within my tableViewController to get the origin of its UITableView
    If I scroll the table up (i.e. second row is now shown on top of the screen), self.view.frame continues to return an origin of {0,0} instead of {0, -80} even though the table has been scrolled up by 80 pixels (i.e. the height of the first table row)
    Does anyone know how to find out the amount (e.g. 80 pixels or 90 pixels etc..) by which a table is currently scrolled up by the user ?

    Dankeschön, that was the solution.
    I had also figured it out independently and just got here to update the post when I saw your reply. Thanks

  • How do I time / date stamp photos from library

    How can I print photos from library with a time / date stamp to use for legal purposes? Please help

    All photos captured with the iPhone are date and time stamped, but not shown on the photo. Plus those metadata can be changed easily with modern photo editing software so it is not always admissible in court.
    To post those to the pictures, you need a 3rd party app for that. Try the free Exifwizard app.

  • IPhoto: Restore photos to Library (help!) It's not working...

    I have tried, unsuccessfully, several times to restore photos from my iPhoto Trash to the Library.  I select the photos I want to restore, click on Restore to Library, and wait.  The program invariably freezes, causing me to Force Quit.  I need to restore these photos so I can empty the trash!  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!  I am using iPhoto '09.

    Well you won't be syncing the two libraries as you don't want the same content in both, but only to update the one on the external, right? Otherwise you don't save any space...
    Here's one way to do it:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
    Library Manager means you can move additions on the internal, plus all metadata, version history and so on, to the main library.
    Another thing to remember: now you have all your photos on this external, where's your back up? You'll need another copy of the Library on another disk...

  • How to find the right primary key for DSO from Business Content

    According to best practice design, it is reccomended to make a  DSO where all fields from Business COntent Datasources are transferred.
    But, how to find the right primary indeks ?
    Any good suggestions ?
    For many of the Business Content dataflows there are not DSOs present, so ther e is no tip to get from the dokumentations as gfar as I have found.
    best Regards
    Ingrid

    Hi Ingrid,
    Your question will be perfect in case if you are going for a Custom cube.
    You will not have any problem when you create a Datasource in R/3 level even if it is been built on a single table or on view.
    Only point that you want to know how to design my Key fields in ODS.
    This will be purely depends at what level that you want to bring the data.
    Egg:-
    If you run the data source in RSA3 and check for Each GL if you have 10 liine items and you want all the 10 line items to be transfered to BW.
    In this case you need to check what is the unique combination of fields that is making this lineitems to exists as 10.then include all those fields into Your ODS Key Fields.
    This way you can have 10 records for that perticular GL in both sides, by which u will make sure that the data is been completely transfered.
    If in case if you clude your own Key fields then you will get the correct Total in report for each GL but you can't see all those 10 line items.
    For any case you need to figureout how many records that you want to take into BW based on that check the fields that makes it unique and then add them to ODS Keyfields that will solve your requirement.
    I think this will clear your doubt.
    Best Regards,
    VNK.

  • How to find the offending DML for "enq: TX - row lock contention"

    Hello All,
    1) How can I find the offending DML for "enq: TX - row lock contention". I have tracked down the Blocking and Waiting Sessions as well as the Database Object too. But i am not able to find the DML (with values of bind variables) or the row for which both these sessions are fighting for?
    Current Wait Event:  enq: TX - row lock contention
    Current Wait Class:  Application
    Wait Duration:  5:15 (mm:ss)
    P1:  name|mode 1415053318
    P2:  usn<<16 | slot 12058642
    P3:  sequence 39951
    Object:  USERNAME.MEMBER 2) Also does *"enq: TX - row lock contention"* means Both the sessions are fighting for the same Row only or it can be different rows but same database block? If they are fighting for different rows, then can we try increasing the initrans of tables/indexes to prevent this wait.
    Please advice.
    Regards,
    Tommy

    Thanks Randolf, Mark and Aman for your valuable inputs. We are using 10.2 and the lock mode held and requested is 6. And the Wait Event is "enq: TX - row lock contention".
    Based on the above facts and based on Randolf's Blog, can we ignore the following cases?:
    - Same unique key written by different sessions: Because mode held and requested in ym case is 6 whereas in Randolf example it is 6 and 4 respectively
    - Unindexed foreign keys and modifications to parent table primary keys: Because Wait Event in my case is "enq: TX - row lock contention"
    - Insufficient block space and ITL slot shortage: Because Wait Event in my case is "enq: TX - row lock contention" and not enq: TX - allocate ITL entry
    - Segments with low MAXTRANS settings Only pre-10g: But Mine is 10g
    And the possible scenarios left out scenarios are:
    - Bitmap indexes
    - Same Row modified by different sessions
    I will now try to find out the sql/dml that is causing the problem. Thank you all for your help once again.
    SESS                        ID1        ID2      LMODE    REQUEST TY
    Holder: 138              393224       1330          6          0 TX
