How to import RAW picture in iPhoto

Hi,
I've just switched my Lumix Fz-18 format from jpeg to raw and I suddenly found out that iPhoto can't import those pics...When I plug it, iPhoto sees the pictures but when I click "import all" it gives me back an error message (sort of unreadable files)...What can I do?

The Raw format for every model of camera is different, and each model has to be supported individually. At this time the FZ-18 is not supported. The list of cameras currently supported is here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
Let Apple know you want your camera supported:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
Alternatives include processing the Raws with the software that came with your camera and exporting the results as tiff or jpeg and importing those, or converting the Raw to DNG with Adobe's Camera Raw and trying to import them.

How to import RAW picture in iPhoto with a Panasonic Lumix FZ38?

I know that the lumix FZ38 is not supported at this time (iPhoto and Aperture), i used the Adobe DNG Converter 5.6 but i can´t import the DNGs into iPhoto/Aperture, but Lightroom and Photoshop can.
What can i do to import DNG to iPhoto??????

Francisco
This may be related to an issue with the recent Camera Raw update. Have a look at this thread from the aperture forum:

How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

Do you have a SD slot? If not you get a USB to SD memory card adpater at the computer/office/online store and use that.
It appears as a drive on your machine and you can use Export from iPhoto or drag and drop methods too.
Make sure you backup

How do I send pictures from iphoto to a group via email instead of to just one individual? I can't type in more than one name or send the pictures to a group.

How do I send pictures from iphoto to a group via email instead of to just one individual? I can't type in more than one name or send the pictures to a group.

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

How to I export pictures from iphoto to a sd card

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

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 need to import my pictures to iPhoto, and I imported my camera roll. It was all good and all the pictures were uploaded and then I checked again a few minutes later and they weren't all there. What should I do?

Get a flashlight and see if there is something stuck in the iPhone jack you can remove and do so if you can.
If not, make a Genius Bar appointment at your neares Apple Store. Backup your iphone before you go.

How to import a picture in Address Book from iPhoto?

Hello all,
How do I import a picture to one of my contact files in Address Book. Before, you could just import one of the pictures from the iPhoto Library, but now after the iPhoto updates, the library seems to be just one file. Were are the original pictures stored?
Any help welcome, regards and thanks for all the good work on these forums.
Joost

No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
Hope this helps...

How do I not import RAW files into iPhoto

I shoot RAW + Jpeg with my cameras... Up until a recent upgrade to Mavericks... I would put the SD card in the iMac and it would import all the JPEGs, and then say something like 75 files could not be downloaded.
Those were the large RAW files and I would then just move them to an External Hard-drive and use Lightroom and Canon's DPP to edit them.
After the OS upgrade the RAW and JPEGs now both import into iPhoto and onto the Mac Hard-drive.
I can't seem to find a way to not import the RAW file into iPhoto. Is there something I am missing? I do not want those large RAW files wasting space on the mac, and I have notice iPhoto is really slow since the upgrade.
Thanks for any help

A. To move an iPhoto Library:
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.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
B. iPhoto and Raw
1. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut).
2. Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
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.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
Now for the kludge:
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.
Further - and this is quite a consideration: Lightroom is not an editor. Like iPhoto it's a database app and images need to be imported, processed and exported from it. It occupies the same place in the workflow (manager/non-destructive processing) as iPhoto does so in makes zero sense to use both...
