How to only import EDITED iphoto images?

Aperture: 3.1.3
OS: Lion (10.7)
HOwdy
I'm an Aperture newbie and have been playing around with it testing a few things in advance of importing my iPhoto library.
I don't love stacks for most of my existing iPhoto photos. this is bc they are scanned pics and the time between creation & editing is not always a useful way of stacking them. This requires LOTS of manual tweaking.
Any tips? I thought perhaps i could try to specify that i wanted to import ONLY the edited copy if more than 1 version exists.

AFAIK, I'm afraid there is no option to do what you are asking for.

How do i import an iPhoto library from a time machine backup?

how do i import an iPhoto library from a time machine backup? I did a back up and i formatted my machine. How do i get iphoto to be the same?

This screenshot shows how to restore a library from Time Machine.
There is NO importing necessary. One should never import one library into another. Just restore it to your Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How can I import my photoshop images onto my ipad?

How can I import my photoshop images onto my ipad?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do I import edited images and NOT masters from iphoto

I'm trialling aperture with a view to migrating from iphoto. I having difficulty importing images from iphoto in so much as whatever options I use to import aperture brings both the master photo and edited version from iphoto. I'd prefer to import only masters where no edited version exists AND where a photo has been edited within iphoto just the edited version (and all metadata, faces, keywords, places etc).
Is this possible?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Then you don't want to import your iPhoto Library, what you want to do is export the files from iPhoto (File -> Original *Kind: Current*) to folders on the desktop and then import from there.
Note that using the Current setting will miss a lot of metadata. If you want that you'll need to set the *Kind to Jpeg* and check the boxes at "titles and descriptions" and "Places information". However, if you're unedited images are Raw you won’t get the masters, obviously.

After importing my iPhoto images to Aperture, edited RAW files render strangely

Hi,
Yesterday I imported my iPhoto 09 library to Aperture 3. I have a problem with my RAW files (from a Sony Alpha 55). I have done some edits to these photos in iPhoto 9 and these edits did carry over to Aperture. Unfortunately the resulting image looks absolutely overly contrasted, I can fix most of it by turning down the Black Clipping, which is set to about 25% of the slider. I don't remember adding black clipping in iPhoto though.
Maybe someone here knows about this problem?

oh, and it's iPhoto '11 not 09, sorry about that.

How long to import an iPhoto Library? What settings....? Arrrrgh!!

I have now been importing (leaving images in the iPhoto Library) for over 4 hours now.
My iPhoto Lib is 240Gb with 45k photos and an hour or so of Video. I am running an iMac i7 with latest OSx and 4 Gb RAM
Aperture is 'grinding' away and has consumed the available RAM and a lot of the processor.
With this process running the system is almost unusable and at times freezes. I have found that Time Machine (which kicks in every hour) causes a massive lock where the two processes seem to be competing over the same patch of land... Turning this off has helped.
Initially I tried an import "to 'Pictures' " which I left running overnight, however the system settings sent the machine to sleep before it was finished and I had to force quit on resuming this morning. I then tried to 'resume' the import selecting "No Duplicates" however the import was starting from scratch again. This may have only been events/projects but it was simply taking for ever.
An initial import of a folder from "iPhoto Browser" view did not pull through the GPS or faces or other project data - so I decided a full import was required.
My end goal is to work out the best setup of the different import options for me.
What's better and what are the pro's 'n' con's of loading images into the Aperture Library or leaving in the iPhoto Lib? What about in folders in 'My Pictures"?
After reading through some of these forums I have noted that there are a few of the "consumer" functions which Aperture does not have I will still want to use the card/calendar features of iPhoto - what might be the best setup for me?
It's a bit confusing when looking to transition from iPhoto...... I've tried reading through the support pages and watched the How To vids - but I cannot find a Why do it this way or that way....?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
qBall

So - after a lot of playing around this is what I have sorted out.
Aperture is pretty awsome
Cannot possibly go back to iPhoto now....
....but will still need iPhoto for some of the 'Grandparent' stuff like cards and calendars!
On the setup/installation side when importing from iPhoto, depending on library size - expect this to take a significant amount of time.
Turn off TimeMachine
Disable 'sleep' in Energy Saver
Set import up and let it run overnight!
I have imported my entire iPhoto library both into Aperture and 'in place' to see what is the best way to make it work/run and performance etc.
Thinking that I would not want to duplicate a massive library file - I wanted to see if there was any performance or other like issues with either method, and if there was any siginificant space savings of doing either.
Here are some stats:
On file sizes:
iPhoto Library 230.36 GB
Aperture 'Leave in current location' Library 26.48 GB
Aperture 'In Aperture' Library 216.27 GB
On Time to import:
Aperture 'Leave in current location' Library 8+ hours (this was before i worked out to turn off timemachine)
Aperture 'In Aperture' Library - overnight..? It just worked this time!
On Opening Aperture: Average time taken until application is fully responsive
Aperture 'Leave in current location' Library -> 2m:35s
Aperture 'In Aperture' Library -> 1m:16s
On Exit with Update to previews: (obviously this has a lot to do with changes in your library)
Aperture 'Leave in current location' Library -> 7m:40s !!!!!
Aperture 'In Aperture' Library -> 2m
Using Aperture
I could not find much difference in creating slide shows, editing images or working with faces/locations etc once Aperture was loaded with either library. The big difference seems to be in the post processing of libraries once imported. With the 'In location' library this seemed to take 'days' as each time I opened this library I had massive lags and delays and became frustrated so went back to the 'In Aperture" library.
Now this processing is complete I also find the Application is running well and not completly hogging all the RAM/Processor available. I am now comfortably able to run Aperture, Web browser and another profile on the iMac without too many performance issues!
Still looking at how 'going back to iPhoto' using the Aperture library combinations might work - aaarrrrggggh - can I really be bothered ????
Summary
For me I am going to use the In Aperture setup. Performance is greater and the library size is smaller.
If looking to import a large iPhoto Library I suggest:
Turn off all background and other programs which could steal any processing power/RAM
Run it overnight
Import with the 'In Aperture' option
Be prepared for the 'post processing' and allow this to complete before you become concerned bout the performance

Why is Photoshop CS6 not an option for editing iPhoto image?

I've read everywhere that to edit iPhoto pictures in Photoshop CS6, I need to select it as the application to used to edit the image. However, I don't have that as an option, only Preview. And yes, I do have Photoshop installed, I use it every day. Any ideas on how to get it to where Photoshop is the visual editor? Frustrating. Thanks.

You already have selected preview as your external editor - to change it select it again and then select the new external editor

How to get IOS 5 iphoto images to photostream?

i am using an IPAD2 and am having trouble getting my edited IOS 5 iphoto images to upload to the photo stream.
To be more specific, here is what I am looking to do:
I am looking to upload my camera photos directly to my Ipad and then editing them with iphoto, and then having them backup to my photo stream. however, i cannot seem to get my edited photos to appear in photo stream.
This has prompted another question of mine: is icloud and photostream the same thing? or is photo stream separate of icloud? My Ipad backs up to iCloud every night and i'm not sure what is backing up, and then i also use PhotoStream (or trying to). Which is the true way to backup photos?
Thank you!

Greetings,
To make an edited image go to Photo Stream you need to share that image to the camera roll as detailed here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.0/#blnkee26bc1f. This can only be done 1 image at a time. If you would like to see the ability to send multiple images to the camera roll at the same time, let Apple know: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html
Photo Stream is part of iCloud. Learn more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
Learn about your iCloud backup and what it contains here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
Note: Photo Stream is not a backup. It is a way to make the last 1000 images consistent across multiple devices (as detailed in article HT4486 above). Make sure you have Photo Stream setup on a computer so that your images and imported to that computer or import your images directly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Hope that information is helpful.

How do I Import an iPhoto DVD "Verbatim" and not as iPhoto wants?

I have a DVD of a set of iPhoto folders, that a professional photographer friend of mine that insists on using iPhoto, that will not import as it burnt to the DVD. Why?
You mount the DVD and it's perfect in iPhoto, but when you got to bring it in in any of the many ways you can, it just doesn't work as expected. I need the DVD to import as it was her version of 6.0.4, in mine.
Even when I create a folder and drag and drop it adds the photos from a previous drop to the folder. And when I look in the main library there are several copies/versions of the pictures.
I would like folder for folder import. That is not happening. I'm using iPhoto 6.0.4 on a PPC FW800.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
G4 FW800, 2GB RAM, 2-DVR110s, 4-500GB HDs, 3-Monitors, 2-Turtle Doves, 1-iTTUSB Mac OS X (10.4.8) Totally Stuffed/Max'd Out with lots of great toys.

Thanks for the reply. The short version is just fine. Usually it's shorter.
The disc was burned as iPhoto 6.0.4 does and only will do. We got the cute little disc that shows you in red or green and numbers how much room you need and if it will burn and hit the button and off it went. When mounted, it shows up in the Source Panel perfectly as it should be. Dragging the folders out of the disc to the column just moves the position of the folder and no importing happens. When ejected the "moved" folder disappears. If I make a new folder and "drag and drop" the first import works, then the second on, the all the pics from the first drop are included also, even though I did not touch that folder.
If I do a straight import from the pull down menu, I get several versions of the photo and it mixes them all in with what I already have in the library and have to dig for the real picture and not the thumbnail or something else. I tried a smart folder and boy are they lacking in options for that. Like, "imported" when "today". That would have let me find what I just brought in to delete it when the importing went awry.
The only reason that iPhoto is involved it that it was originally used to download and catalog these photos. I'm building a website and have no real need for iPhoto other than getting my hands on these pics.
I did finally go into the disc raw, and looked through the folders on the disc itself, what a mess, I took the main folder and copied it over and then placed the "modified" files over the "originals", replacing them. It was a tad tedious, but got the job done. I spent hours, wasted, trying to make iPhoto work as the instructions, tutorials, forums, fixit forums all recommend and nothing positive came from it. I even tried making eMails attachments and there were too many photos that it stalled Entourage, of which 10.4.9 is suppose to have some interaction fixes for, so there's problems there.
I mentioned to my photographer friend that she might try Aperture. She has it, has, and says that it's more hype than help. And this woman knows her "stuff". And that if it weren't for the fact that the cataloging software that came with her cameras was PC and not Mac, she'd be using that and not iPhoto. I recommended a new Intel Mac and she says it'll be a PC next. She has work to do. Ouch.
I have always used iPhoto just because it was there and easy. But after last night and really having to dig through it, I found all kinds of nastiness. I thought for a moment, although, I have the database backed up, that I had lost at ton of pictures to low res thumbnails that seem to be all over the place. But no originals. Then after checking several copies/thumbnails, I found the originals.
Well I have the pics and am half done, and finally gave up for the moment, going to bed at 9:14am.
Now I have to extract photos from a Flash piece that is being replaced with a simple html page. iPhoto ain't gettin' near this one.
Thanks . . .

How do I import an iPhoto library to an existing iPhoto library?

I have about 6-7GB of photos stored in iPhoto on an old MacBook. I want to import them to an existing iPhoto library on my wife's new iMac. What's the best way to do this without losing any data? I have an external USB HD, but I'm not sure the best way to move the files (ex: drop the iPhoto library icon into the new drive, etc).
Any recommendations?

The only way is to NOT import - Never import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
you move the library to the new machine - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

How do I import an Iphoto Project (book) directly into Aperture 2?

I have a book that I did as a project in iPhoto '08 that I would like to import directly into Aperture 2 and "redo" the book using Aperture's new features.
Although I imported my iPhoto library I don't seem to have this project in Aperture and when I look to export the project from iPhoto it wants to export it as a movie.
Since the photos from iPhoto are in Aperture I figured that importing the iPhoto project would be easy. I don't want to recreate the book again if I can help it - I just want to import and modify it in Aperture.
Is it possible to do and can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks,

You CAN completely customize the text in iPhoto books, including left/center/right justifications, and it is fairly easy. Here's the workaround:
1) In your iPhoto book (or calendar or whatever) layout, highlight the text you want to modify or change its alignment.
2) Launch TextEdit and open a blank document. Paste the text from iPhoto into the document.
3) Still in TextEdit, highlight your text. Using ordinary word processing methods, modify or realign your text as desired. When satisfied, highlight the customized text and copy it.
4) Back in iPhoto, paste the newly modified text you just copied from TextEdit into the desired text box, overwriting (or deleting first) the original text. All the modifications you made in TextEdit should apply.
This trick can work wonders for helping make an iPhoto book completely your design.
