I want to export a group of photos from iphoto.

I want to export a group of photos from iphoto. I want them to stay in the same order that I put them in. So far when I export, the photos sort according to date or name. I want them to stay in manual sort the way I set them up in the album.
I also want to import them in that order to another program. I am going to try to import them into Final Cut Pro 7. I still want them in the sorted order.
Can this be done?
jibetack

So, in other words, it can't be done. Once the photos are exported they lose the order I had them in in iphoto.
Not at all
typically the easiest way it to export from iPhoto using the sequential file name option and then view in alpha order
and
What is a better software to organize and sift through photos than iphoto?
None as far as I am concerned - that is strictly a personal decision that you have to make for yourself - Only you know what features you want - no one else does

  • Exporting an album or group of photos from IPhoto 08

    I have read the various posts on exporting photos from IPhoto 08. I have an email program that allows only one attachment/file. When I export an album to the desktop, it is not delivered as album but includes all the separate JPEG photos in the album. My desktop then shows only the separate JPEG photos. Thus I am unable to attach an entire album/file to any program, but only separate pictures. What can I do?? By the way, I old and not real sharp on the Mac, so make any suggestions simple please! Thanks!

    Stephen
    When you export the Album, make a folder on the desktop to receive the pics:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    Then you can zip that folder (in the Finder: File Menu -> Compress 'Folder Name'. This will make it a zip file. Attach that to your email.
    What do you use for email? I've never heard of one that allows only a single attachment.

  • Why am i all of a sudden having trouble dragging and dropping large groups of photos from iphoto anywhere

    This just started happening a few days ago- for some reason I am not able to highlight photos in iphoto and drag and drop them into a folder/ desktop. I can sometimes do one at a time, but not always. When I drag the group somewhere, I see the green + icon, and the red number of photos, but the photo icon doesn't get smaller, like it normally does when it's about to be moved. And once I let go to move it, nothing happens.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does then try this basic troubleshooing fix: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • How do I import photos from iPhoto into the iMovie Events window? I want to use photos in my iMovie trailer program

    i want to use some of my photos from iPhoto library in the iMovie Trailer program - it won't let me import them. I tired to sneak them into the Events library but can't seem to be able to do that either when using the imovie trailer feature, I have to open up a different project to be able to import photos, but only able to drop them directly into a project, not the events folder -- I can't get photos into the event folder.

    You cannot add photos to a trailer.
    The solution is to get as far as you can in the Trailer withou adding the photos. Then, select the trailer in the Project Library List, and click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT. Now it is an iMovie Project, and you can do anything that iMovie can do, including add photos wherever you want.

  • Move photos from iPhoto to camera card

    How do I move a group of photos from iPhoto to my camera's SD card?
    Thank you,
    brotherdan

    Hello there. Plug the camera into your USB port. You should see an icon appear on the desktop, and iPhoto may start automatically. From within iPhoto, select the photos you want to move. From the file menu, choose Export...
    You will be presented the iPhoto export dialog, from which you can set the various characteristics of the exported photo: it's file type, compression quality, resolution. When you dismiss this dialog, you will be shown a standard file dialog. Navigate to your camera card, which appears just like a disk. Select that as your destination and click Save.

  • How can I import photos from iPhoto into a power point presentation

    I would like to take a group of photos from iphoto and import them into a power point(for mac) presentation- the PP for windows allows you to take a large number of pics and make a "photo album presentation" but can figure how to do it in Mac.

    If you don't know how to use iPhoto, launch iPhoto on your Mac, and select iPhoto Help from the help drop down menu.
    Read the article that KP has posted above and take a look at this below.
    In the photo below, I have a checkmark next to sync photos. The folder from which the photos are syncing is iPhoto on my Mac. You can also see that I have clicked - selected albums, events, and faces automatically. These events, albums, etc will sync every time the way I have this set up.
    I can also add new events or albums when I sync if I choose to do so. You have to select the other albums, events, etc. that you want to sync by putting a checkmark in the box next to the event and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes and they will transfer to your iPad.

  • Exporting photos from iPhoto - storage space

    This might be a silly question, but I'm not very familiar with how iPhoto works.
    If I export a photo from iPhoto and save it to a folder in Finder, am I doubling up on storage space?
    I do this because I prefer to arrange my photos/albums in folders like I use to on a windows computer, and I don't really like how iPhoto groups and organizes my photos.

    Yes, you will be doubling the amount of disk space used.  iPhoto is based on a SQUL database like Aperture and uses virtual folders,  albums, keywords, descriptions, titles  to group and keep track of photos.  It's not a file based system like you would have in the Finder. In iPhoto a photo can be grouped in multiple albums, slideshows, books, etc. and not take up any additional space on the  hard drive.
    Read Terence Devlin's post in this topic as he details how to manage photos in iPhoto more succinctly that I could: Better way to organize my images?: Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to keep using a file system then iPhoto is not the application for you.  Maybe look into Picasa for Mac or one of the professional DAM (digital asset management) apps like Media Pro 1.

  • How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

    How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

    See if any of this info will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How to export photos from iphoto'11 to portable drive for download?

    I have 2 macs in different locations and a 500gb portable drive. I am about to leave one location for the second location and want to take my photos from iPhoto with me on my portable drive.
    What is the best way to do this? I do have time capsule on the 1st iMac.
    I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for editing on my iMac. I have a backup catalog Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and the folder 'my pictures' from my PC (on way to recycle - at last) on the portable drive.
    I am not currently using organizer from Adobe Photoshop 9 -but using events from iPhoto.

    Depends on what you want
    If your want your iPhoto library then drag it to the external drive - in the new location depress the option key and launch iPhoto and use the select library command to choose the library you want - the local one or the one on the EHD
    If you want to merge them then use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to merge the library on the EHD with the local library
    If you want just the photos then select them and export them to the external drive and import them into the other library
    Explain exactly what you want if none of these help

  • Problems exporting photos from iPhoto even after trying earlier suggestions

    I've done this before with no problem.
    I want to export 158 photos from iPhoto 11 on my iMac (OS 10.9.4) so I can put them on a 2GB SD card (MS-DOS FAT16) for a digital frame. With the SD card in the slot on the back of the iMac, I exported the files to that disk. I got an "Unable to create /Volumes/[filename]" error. Went ahead and deleted that pic from the album I'd created for export but got the error for a different file.
    Checked through the iPhoto forum and found others had similar problems. Terence Devlin suggested exporting to a folder on the desktop and dragging to the card. When I try that, I get an "Item [filename] can't be copied because there isn't enough free space" error. (This despite the fact that the Finder info shows 14.7MB for all the files and it's a 2 GB card.) I click "OK" in the error window and am told the 158 items are being copied. However, when the process is complete, only two files appear on the card in the Finder and both of them show they're empty (i.e., Size: Zero bytes).
    Tried reformatting the card. Tried plugging an external card reader into one of the USB ports on the iMac. Same problem.
    Thoughts?

    the general answer is to export the photos to a desktop folder and then drag that folder (not the photos in it) to the proper location on the unlocked SD card - FAT formatted volumes have a very low limitation on the number of lies on them at the root level hence the necessity to put the files in a folder and drag the single folder to the FAT volume

    I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto. I do not want to order them through Itunes.

    I have not idea how you do it with Picasa but with iPhoto you either export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there or burns that folder to CD - or from the upload window use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload windows - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • How can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad

    how can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad?

    Iif the photos were synced to the iPad they can only be removed by connecting to iTunes on your computer, unselecting the photos folder that you synced to the iPad and then follow that with a sync.
    IF the photos are in the camera roll, open the camera roll album, tap the as select button in the upper right corner, tap on each photo that you want to delete in order to select them and then tap the trash can icon.

  • If I bring in photos from Iphoto, am I using more disk space on my hard drive. I dont want to duplicate my entire file. I have 26000 photos in I photo.

    If I bring in photos from Iphoto, am I using more disk space on my hard drive. I dont want to duplicate my entire file. I have 26000 photos in I photo.

    You have to duplicate the photos unless you want to use PSE as the external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a proprietary library, which should never be messed with by programs other than iphoto. Writing to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the fastest way to corrupt it and lose all the pics it contains.
    So you can either set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from within iphoto, or you must export the photos from iphoto to be able to use them outside that program.
