I see the same photos with different resolutions in my iPhoto library

I am trying to organize my photos in the iPhoto library by deleting those are stored twice or more. However in many doubles I found out that some of them exist in my library in different resolutions. My photos are imported either from my camera, or from my iphone, or from my iPad or from the shared photo streams which include photos imported from various apple devices.
What I see for example is some photos taken from an iPhone exist in both 2048x1536 and in 3264x2448 resolution and some others in 1224x1632 and in 1536x2048 (I guess these 2 resolytions are for the vertically taken thotos while the other 2 for orizontical). For iPad photos I see 2056x1536 and 2592x1936 for the same photos. All doubles have different names (eg. IMG_007 and IMG_1056 for the same photo). Furthermore some doubles include info about the camera (eg. iPad back camer 4.28mm f/2.4) and some others don´t (only info about the device eg. iPad).
Why is this mess happening in my library? Apparently I want to keep in my library the photos only in the maximum available resolution for better quality.
In relation to that I have the following questions:
1. When a photo or a video is shared in a photo stream, is its resolution decreased to a lower one?
2. Is there any way to see what the resolution is of the original photo stored in the iPhone or iPad, so that I can compare with the the same ones I have on my computer´s iPhoto library?
3. Is there any way to see the resolution and other info for the Photos in a shared Photo stream which are not yet imported localy on my computer?
Thanks in advance.

Happy New Year to all!
I made a test and I confirm what I was suspected at first place.
I uploaded a photo taken from my iPhone to the shared photo stream. Then I imported this photo from the photo stream to my iPhoto library on my Mac. The resolution in which this photo is stored locally is 2048x1536 and its size 961 KB.
Then I sent the same photo from my iPhone via e-mail. I opened the email on my computer and downloaded the photo. Then I imported it to my Mac´s iPhoto library. I checked the info out and the resolution is now 3264x2448 and size 2.2 MB.
Therefore the quality and resolution of the photos that are uploaded to the icloud photo stream is NOT the same as the original one.
I don´t know whether there is somewhre an option to change that, but this is what happens to me right now.

How do I save multiple copies of the same photo with different edits

I want to make several photos (each with different crops and enhancements) from one existing photo and also want to keep my original as is for future edits.. Is there a save as feature or a way to copy paste to different albums.

Sha the original to itunes or the Camera Roll. Make the edits you want the share the photo to the Camera Roll or more per able iTunes. The make more edits and share again. To go back to the original photo you can use the Revert to Original function.

The Mystery of the Duplicating Photos with Varying resolutions and Sizes by Sony Z1 Compact

about the duplicating photos with varying resolutions and Sizes problem... I have a band-aid fix to this without deleting everything in your phone. What you do is to find time to actually MANUALLY DELETE the extra photos. Don't delete it by Taping on the Album app and deleting everything on the home photos.
Instead tap the album then on the UPPER LEFT CORNER (If you've updated the albums) tap the 3 bars beside the album icon to access the album menu, then tap the FOLDERS choice.
You should see alot of folders with Thumbnails named with numbers and different resolutions. Delete all the folders labeled as Thumbnails or cache. *note that you cannot delete whole folders but the folder gets deleted automatically after all the contents inside it is deleted
Afterwards, go to your phone's settings->App-> Album
Then tap the Clear Data button
After that restart your phone.
This actually "fixes" the problem for a while but usually after a few restarts or Phone charge the folders comeback and you have to redo the whole process again. But the folders that are made becomes fewer than the 1st occurrence of this problem and deleting the photos shouldn't take as long as the 1st.
Honestly i think this is definitely an Application bug and should be fixed by Sony, since you know its their built in app for Multimedia

yea that also helps since it's a bug caused by the new update. I'm just waiting for Sony to fix the bug, i don't really mind deleting the thumbnails

HT2905 I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well.

Help! Can't figure out how to store the same photo in different events

I know that this is just a user error problem, but I can't figure out how to store multiple versions of the same photo in different events. For example, I use Aperture as my main photo library, so I have a big folder set-up by year and then by events within those years to organize and maintain my library. I'm currently working on a project where I would like to pull out certain pictures for other uses. I tried creating new events and then moving the pictures to those events (like I would have in iPhoto) expecting for a new version of the picture to be deposited in the new event. That didn't work - it moved the picture out of my "main library" folder and as far as I can see it now only exists in the new event. Next, I tried creating "new versions" of the pictures I wanted to move and then just selecting those and moving them. In one folder I selected three photos, clicked "New Versions", then in the browser display I could see two of each picture (for a total of six), I selected ONE of each photo and moved those three to the new event. At which point all six disappear from the "main library" and end up in my new event. I don't understand why that happens. Currently the only way I've been able to do what I need to do is by using the flag field, but as far as I can tell there is only one of those - it's on or off that is really not serving my purpose. What do I need to do???

Like Jim said, you most likely want Albums for what you describe. Albums simply consist of "pointers" to a single compilation of image data. Albums can be created and deleted at will, because they are just pointers; an important concept.
Also learn to use Keywords - and unlearn "folder" organization, which is not the way digital asset management works. The power of Albums and Keywords is huge once we lose the film-think of folders organization.

How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

They can, but not at the same time.
If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message. If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

Alternatively, partition your internal HD and dual-boot it. Do note that you have to reboot to switch back and forth. You can't do it by logging out and back in.

Can you have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different play list?

Can I have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different plalists?

Sure. Each iPod is identified in iTunes with its own name and you configure each one as you wish:

Use the same form with different button turned on in different calls

Can I use the same form with different buttons turned on in different calls?
Thanks!

This is to avoid piracy. What could happen is, people could buy music, and give it away for free online. Usually it is then you buy a complete album off iTunes that it will only be available on one device. It is tied to that account, and the device must be registered to that account to listen to it.

HELP!! Authorization in the same laptop with different operation systems

My BF installed Win 7 operation system on his laptop yesterday and re-authorized it when he used iTunes. However, when he finished authorization, a dialog block showing that "*Including this one, you have authorised two computers out of your available 5*" appeared; what's worse, when he connected his iPhone to the laptop, it deleted all the bought apps in the iPhone, instead of synchronizating.
I also want to install Win 7 operation system, but I'm afraid that the same thing would happen again (to my iTouch).
We're quite confused that why the authorization in the same laptop with different operation systems is counted as two times. Friends who know please tell us whether this is the case.. If not, please tell us how to deal with it as we frequently re-install operation system for quicker operation.

It's the *operating system* that is authorised, not the particular user profile or the hardware. Before upgrading/reinstalling deauthorise and you won't run out...

How do I rank or rotate a raw and jpg version (combo?)of the same photo with 1 click in Lightroom 4?

Hi, i am new to this forum
I did some searching, but could not find the answer.
I only make stacks of exactly the same photos, but with different formats, mostly 2 jpg versions and a raw. If i change photos further, i unstack that photo, to see the different photos right away.
So, i always want to apply changes to all the photos in a stack, because all basic versions have the same rank, should have the same rotation, and other exif data that i change.
Does anybody know how to always change all photos in a stack in Lightroom?
Thanks!

Hi,
If you shoot RAW+JPEG, there is a spechial option in LR (Preferences>General>Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separted photos) which teats both as one item (unchecked).
All your metadata change is appliled to both, but you do not see the JPEG in LR.
I started with this setting on. But after a while, I recongnized, that I do not want the JPEGs anylonger. Why? Because I did two things:
1. I tried to develop the RAW in a way it looks like the JPEG. Well, O.K. This is only usefull for a very limited number of images (low light, high light) where you have to rescue information from the RAW that is lost in the JPEG. For all other images, it is easier to use the JEPG
2. I developed the RAW in a way that it looks different from the JPEG. I did so, because I want to show this version to others, not the JPEG. Therefore I deleted the JPEG.
There is no way in LR to apply a function / preset to a stack. Only the marked images are affedted. This is the problem with stacks. E.g. you go into a folder with stacks, select all, export all selected and notice, that some images are missing (the ones in the collapsed stack). Every time I got into a folder with stacks and do not want to organize the images, I select "Expand all stacks" from he menu.

Share Photos on the same iMac with different user accounts... How do You???

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to share photos with another user (same computer, different log-in names) on the same iMac?
There are two users on my iMac and I want to be able to share photos and other documents, music etc. with them, but can't seem to do it.
Please help.
Thank you.

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. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. 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.
Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?
Regards
TD
