Image quality warning - can I shrink the photos
I have a 8x10 photo book that I'm trying to build using some old images of mine. The resolution on the old images is 1024 x 768 so iPhoto gives me the image quality resolution if I try to print 1 or 2 photos on a single page. Since I don't want fuzz images when I print the page I'd like to reduce the size of the images so they be okay when I print. iPhoto doesn't give you the option to reduce the size of the image. Can I through another application do some sort of workaround to get the images smaller with some sort of background to workaround this?
I wish iPhoto had a little more flexibility in this area.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
iPhoto "books" require you image be 300 DPI (dots per inch).
Your Mac display is 72 dpi so your 1024X768 image would need to be made 4 times smaller in size. But this will still not get you 300 dpi and iPhoto will still display a warning no matter what.
GraphicConverter ($35) can change the dot per inch (it says ppi pixels per inch) in your image. It will also reduce it is size by a factor of 4 (very small image).
If you have the original images it would be better to scan them again and set the file to become 300 dpi. More work but larger prints in your book.

When importing images into LR5 on my laptop, the photos all have a wide yellow streak through them. This only happens on the laptop; I can import the images onto my desktop LR and there isn't the streak of colour. Can someone help?
This is happening even with photos that were taken on another camera, not just mine. My daughter told me that the laptop recently fell. The yellow streak is not anywhere else on the laptop, just on the photos in LR.I have had this problem on my desktop. I have been attempting to reproduce it where it can be debugged. Here are some observations/facts in my environment--no conclusions:
1. I do not import from camera or memory stick directly into LR. I copy all images (using Explorer) from camera to two different locations (backup location first); and then my working area. In both cases, after files are copied I mark them Read-only.
2. Poor observation, but in any event: the issue has only occurred when I do a large number of images. Its a poor observation as I have no exact number. I suspect when I do less than 50 always works well every time. However, I have also done some very large imports without issue.
3. Error only occurs with my RAW images--for me that's NEF. I have multiple cameras--those that only capture jpg images have never had an issue in LR.
4. Even if the file is marked Read Only issues can still occur. I then remove the image from the disk using LR -- and then manually (Explorer) copy in my backup image -- re import again and all is well. I think one time I exited LR and replaced the bad file with a backup and restarted LR and all was well again.
5. When it occurs I have performed a HASH value on the broken file and on the backed up file to determine if the file contents has changed--and each time the file contents has changed.
6. I have had this occur immediately after import, but most often it occurs like this... import large number of images; Make changes in Development Module on random image, export jpg of changes--exit LR. Open up LR and file is corrupted.
7. I have had this issue on multiple USB drives ( okay just 2 different drives have been tested ).
What next--fire up Process Monitor and monitor the system (specifically LR) to see if it reports any file open for write access when this occurs. So, far I have not had process monitor actually running when it occurs--one of these days. -
How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture. Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!
Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101. -
How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?
Contacts has a space for a photo. At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?See this Discussion...

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
Thanks.I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted. But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
Have you looked at Capture One? It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom. -
I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac
The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

I have my photos in iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty.When clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?
When what is clicked?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
How can I get the photos on my pc onto my Macbook without emailing each one individually to myself?
How can I get the photos on my pc onto my Macbook without emailing each one individually to myself?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Copy them from your PC to a flash drive or an external drive, then open iPhoto and select Import to Library.
Depending on your settings, iPhoto might open automatically and ask if you want to import them when the device (camera or flash drive or external drive) containing the images is connected.
At the end of the import, iPhoto will ask if you want to delete or keep the photos on the other device. Keep until you're absolutely certain all images are imported correctly and you've viewed them in iPhoto. It's always nice to have a backup. -

This is more complicated than I expected: I had to go back to LR to check what I did previously. Here is what I found. I hope this helps to explain what can be done. You can have both layers and LR adjustments; you just cannot see the layers in LR nor can you see the LR adjustments in PS. The good news is that they are both there and can be changed as needed.
I have a photo (Raw) of a blue jay sitting on a branch with the background out of focus.
I made many of the usual LR edits such as exposure, contrast, whites, blacks, sharpening, etc.
I wanted to print it as a Birthday Card so I sent it to PSCC 2014 as a smart object.
In PS, I added a type layer "Happy Birthday"
Back in LR, I now have a psd Happy Birthday file stacked with the original raw file.
Fine and as yet, no ADDITIONAL LR edits AFTER rendering right?
I made some LR adjustments to the psd file such as crop to a different aspect ratio and add a vignette.
I printed the psd file on a folded card.
So far so good, you're still in LR. LR can take the new edits made there AND the layers and spit out a print. Nothing new or special here.
Later I wanted to use that same image as a anniversary card.
I told LR to edit that same psd file in PSCC 2014, this time not a smart object, but selecting "Edit Original".
You got your original layered file. Nothing new or special here.
PS opened with the "Happy Birthday" type layer intact and with the smart object background layer. Of course, the LR edits, crop and vignette on the psd file were not visible in PS.
Because they don't exist there! They will when you render them.
I clicked the eye of the Happy Birthday to render it invisible.
I added a new "Happy Anniversary" type layer.
Saved the new revised psd file and returned to LR.
In LR, I still have only 1 psd file stacked with the original raw file, but now it says Happy Anniversary. Note: sometimes it may take a few moments for the new PS edits to appear. By selecting another image and then reselect this psd file tends to speed this rendering of the new image.
So where in all this is the LR edits you produce AFTER up created the layers after opening the layered doc in PS?
I now have a new card ready to print just as before with all the LR edits originally made on the birthday card including the LR edits, crop and vignette made on the original psd file.
And as far as I can tell, all those edits were applied in PS AFTER rendering.
If I send that psd file a third time to PS, I still have the smart object layer, and both type layers. I can add a 3rd type layer "Happy Easter" if I so desire and return to LR.
Again, the crop and vignette are seen in the one psd file in LR.
So...yes, I can have both layers AND LR adjustments including the original raw adjustments through the smart object background.
No, you have a layered file and you have instructions but the layered file isn't rendered with those instructions and doing so would flatten the results. -

How can i delete the photos in "Photo Library"
How can i delete the photos in "Photo Library"?
You don't. The Photo Library contains all the photos synced to your phone. The albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos which reside in your photo library, they are not duplicated. If you remove photos from your various albums/folders, or the albums/folders themselves, they will be removed from your Photo Library.

Explain how it didn't work and what you are trying to delete. Since icloud doesn't store photos except for those in a backup (then delete the backup); photos in photo stream do not count towards your storage limit.
