Have you tried to open your pdf-scans in Preview?
When you open a pdf in Preview, you can use the command "File > Export" to save it as jpeg to a folder. Than drag that folder to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to import the converted photo to iPhoto.

I saved photo into iPhoto slideshow, but now I can't find it. I wanted to open it in iPhoto so I could edit the photo and make it lighter. How can I find the photos I saved into iPhoto slideshow?

I need advise about saving photos into iPhoto. When I chose to save a photo, I chose it to be saved into iPhoto slideshow because that's the only choice I had that mentioned iPhoto. Now I can't find the photo in iPhoto. What did I do wrong?

Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken. Need this for a legal case. Any suggestions?

The date they were taken us in the EXIF data and is included in the export
However it is trivial to modify it so I doubt that it would hold water in court

Importing/exporting Moto V265 photos into iPhoto

Hi,
I just got a Motorola V265 cell phone. The phone have a small camera in it.
I'd like to know if there is a way to import the cell photos into iPhoto (by using an utility) ?
Also, since it is possible to put pictures on the phone as backdrop, I'd like to know if there is a way to take a picture from iPhoto and export it to the cell phone?
Thanks

I haven't found any possible way of doing it, so I take it it is impossible...

How do I move a freeze frame from iMovie 11 as a photo into iPhoto?

In prior versions of iMovie, I could isolate a freeze frame or still from the movie clip and then move it somewhere and it would become a regular photo to be manipulated in iPhoto. How do I do that in iMovie 11?

First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.

If i download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space?

If I download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space on my mac?

iPhoto and Lightroom are similar apps - although LR is a far more capable app - and that the price it should be, of course. But the two apps are similar in that they both offer
Photo Management
Non-Destructive Processing
So, essentially, they both play the same part in the workflow.
The procedure would be to
Download the images from the camera into the Photo Manager (regardless of which one you choose)
Review and select in the Manager
Trash the unwanted with the Manager
Process the images - that is, in most cases edit them.
It is at this point - and only this point - that Photoshop might come into play. Both of these apps can act as a 'front-end' for Photoshop - after all, they're the Managers. But in truth, if you're using Lightroom then you very likely do not need Photoshop at all, and for anything that does require layers you can use one of the many - much less expensive - alternatives. But I think the common experience is that with Lightroom (like Aperture) the requirement for the sledgehammer that is Photoshop really fades away.
So pick one horse and ride it. Choose between LR and iPhoto. Use it like it's intended. Don't get involved in other necessary apps. Don't review before bringing the photo into the manager - that's what the manager is for.

Uploading my photos into iPhoto from an external hard drive

I have all my old digital photos (approx 17GB) on an external hard drive. I would like to upload them in to iPhoto on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8)
Some questions:
How can I stop any duplicate photos being uploaded into iPhoto (I already have small number of the old photos in iPhoto)
How do I upload the photos into 'Events'? What is the difference between Events and Albums?
Do I need to rename the albums on the hard drive before I upload them with new album names?
How can I delete duplicate photos I already have in iPhoto?
and lastly the iMac is set up with 4 users accounts on it - how do I share (in iPhoto) all these newly uploaded photos with the other users
So many questions, but If I do it right now it will save me hrs of work sorting all the photos out and renaming them all when they are in iPhoto

and lastly the iMac is set up with 4 users accounts on it - how do I share (in iPhoto) all these newly uploaded photos with the other users
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Importing and Organizing Thousands of Photos into IPhoto

How can I import about 20 thousands photo into IPhotos and keep the logical organization?
I just buy a Mac Mini and I start trying to move my photos. These are organized in directories by dates with a customize description for the occasion ( …/YEAR/YEAR-MONTH-DAY + DESCRIPTION/)
I tried with few directories and I realized that in order to use IPhoto and keep the logical organization I will have to create and name about 500 albums manually and look for the photos for every album again one by one.
It sounds hard because the number of albums and photos.

There is a 3rd party application, iPhotoTool, that will let you select the top folder containing many subfolders and import all of them into iPhoto and create an album of each sub folder. That will save you a lot of manual work. Then all you need to do is create folders in the Source pane to organize your albums. Be sure to not allow duplicates each time it asks or you'll get duplicates in many of the folders. You'll be asked for each subfolder above the lowest but that's lot easier than manually finding and dragging each folder into iPhoto's Source pane.

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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I export Pages document into iPhoto

How do I export Pages document into iPhoto?

Hi PhilipFG and FoxFifth,
I've been using the same process Pages > PDF > iPhoto. However, when it gets to iPhoto there's a lot of waiting around time for it to allow me to do anything i.e. cropping, enhancing. The little coloured ball is just turning and turning. It's not happy to be there! There is a big difference (it appears) in the resolution when it ends up in iPhoto using this process. The images have shadows. My business partner has an older Mac and can export directly to iPhoto from Pages without having to create a PDF first. Perhaps this is just an option on the older one but she now can't open the pages file I send to her either. Besides the fact that she clearly needs a new Mac...has anyone any further updates on what else can be done to export directly to iPhoto? TIA

Importing photos into iphoto from aperture

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard not realizing Aperture 1.5.6 would not open again. I do not use Aperture enough to pay for an upgrade and want to import my photos into iPhoto for future use. How do I do this (where are the files) and keep the quality of the pictures? If I can get the data into iphoto, can i then delete the aperture file? Thanks

The correct way to do this is to Export from Aperture to folders on the Desktop and then import to iPhoto.
As Aperture 1 won't open for you, you could download a trial of Aperture 2, open your Library, do the exports and then trash the app and the library.
This has the added advantage of it being possible to access versions, metadata that you added in Aperture etc
Otherwise:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the Aperture Library there.
Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Inside you will see a lot of stuff but you are looking for the .approject packages
So, you will see something like
JohnsBirthday.apprproject
Right click on that and go Show Package Contents
A new window opens with the project exposed.
Look for a folder called XXXX @ YYYY - 1.apimportgroup - where X and Y are the date and time of the import. Insie that you'll find a folder for each shot you imported. Just drag the original out of there to a folder on the desktop.
Repeat. And Repeat. And Repeat for each photo in your Aperture Library.
This will yield you your Original Files as imported to Aperture.

"Unreadable files" when importing photos into iPhoto

OK, I just recently got a new iMac - my first time using iPhoto. All seemed well for a while... until I started to import my photos into iPhoto from my HD (which I had copied over from my old G3).
The problem was that as I was importing some of the photos I got an error message saying the following:
"Unreadable files: 7
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognizable file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
Now I really don't understand why it's saying this, as the 7 files it is referring to are just normal jpegs straight my from digi-cam. They are just like all the hundreds of other photos that were successfully imported.
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

Abstractman23:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Were the photos you were trying to import located within an old iPhoto library folder/package? When you got the message did iPHoto display the file names of the files it couldn't import? What were they?
If you were trying to import a library folder then the unrecognized files would be the database files that are part of the library structure.
If you are trying to move your old library from the G3 to the new Mac, just copy the iPhoto LIbrary folder/package intact to the Picture folder of the new Mac. Move any other library out beforehand. Download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Now launch iPhoto and it will open the library and, in an older version, update it to iPhoto 7.

Restoring old paper photos into iphoto

I will be buying a digital camera and saw a feature on a camera in local store--called "restoring old images", where camera supposedly can take digital picture of old photo prints. The store's dvd showed restoring from a colored picture and it did look easy. I have boxes of old photos (both black and white and colored) and want to know if anyone has any experience in doing this, and what to watch out for. Is this camera feature a gimmick or can any digital camera do this? I would like for quality to be acceptable into Iphoto, then into idvd, then into imovie. Thanks....

Hello,
Is this camera feature a gimmick or can any digital camera do this?
I don't know about that camera's feature of restoring old images...how can a camera always read correctly what needs to be 'restored'?
However, you can use any digital camera to take a digital picture of old photos. It is recommended that the camera be about 5 megapixels, have macro focus, and that you use a tripod. You can then import the photos to iPhoto and retouch them yourself as needed.
You could also scan the old photos into your computer and then import the scanned photos into iPhoto. That is the method I use for my old photos. Most of my old photos are in albums and it seemed easier to just scan the photos instead of trying to photograph each one. Some scanners have the capability of doing some scratch and dust removal as well.
Timewise, both methods probably are the same. Using digital camera to take picture, you have to get each print ready to be photographed, make sure lighting is good, print is in focus, maybe clip it to an easel, etc.
Scanning prints, you can place several on the scanner at the same time, but you have to select them one at a time for scanning.
Just pick the method you prefer.
If you decide to get that camera, be sure you can try it out and return it if it doesn't perform the way it is advertised!

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.
