Importing 2 icloud photo streams into iPhoto

Just as the title states..
My wife and I just started our own seperate iCloud accounts and now it seems like we can't combine them in iPhoto. Before we used one account and pictures were seamlessly across all devices, and now since iOS 8 and continuity out personal iPhones are more connected than we want. So is there a way to get her photo's and my photo's into photo stream without creating a special album were we have to share them to it and the photo's automatically show up in the iCloud section?
Thanks for any help!

thank you. so in order to optimize my HDD usage, I ought to import the photo into iPhoto and then delete the original folder?
Yes, you can delete the files you imported. But don't be in a hurry. I'd back them up somewhere, until you are sure that everything imported well.
last - is there any meta-tagging option in iPhoto?
You can
batch change titles, date, and description,
add keywords
tag faces
and tag places on a map.

Import iCloud Photo Stream into Lightroom

Hi.
Like many here, I am always getting the latest LR plugins, etc. Recently OnOne updated their "Perfect" Suite, and I upgraded my apps. One of the apps in this suite is a stand alone browser, called Perfect PhotoSuite 9. Nice for browsing files, etc - pretty much what I use LR for before doing most of my editing in Photoshop.
Well, one unheralded and perhaps largely unnoticed feature of the standalone browser is that it provides a direct import for my iPhone, from iCloud PhotoStream. It just shows up as another folder, and all the photos in your PhotoStream are accessible! The obvious question is: why can't I do this with Lightroom, or Bridge? (Or, for that matter, CaptureOne or DXO Optics Pro? Or PhotoMechanic or ACDSEE?)
Any thoughts?

You don't need a cloud account or any third party software or plugins.
Just plug your iPhone into the computer>Launch Lightroom> choose Import Photos and Video from the File menu. Your iPhone will be listed under devices on top left of import window. Select the iPhone and the content window will populate with the photos captured by iPhone. Along the top of the import window yo'll see import options > choose Copy. The panels on right expand to show the structure of hard disk(s). On right side panels pick a location to copy the photos to then hit Import button on bottom right corner.

Import from photo stream into Lightroom 5.7 - how can I import only new photos since first import of all photos in stream (mac)

Hi
Importing my photos from photo stream (mac) went well, got 2012 photos out of my photo stream into LR 5.7 with the help of the new plug-in.
Now I have 3 new photo's in the stream and I want to add them to the library of LR.
When starting up the plug-in it tells me it will import 2015 photos, instead of just 3.
I hesitate to continue the process and to try my luck as I'm afraid I will end up with more than all 2012 photos doubled.
Any experience out there yet?
Thanks!
Kind regards
Jan

Found it.
At first I was scared off because LR showed the same amount of photos to be imported the second time as it did before the first import.
Fortunately, the second import did nothing but import the new photos.
Thanks.

HT201302 How do I import my iCloud Photo Stream into Finder so I can edit images in Photoshop?

I'm new to iCloud and my Photo Stream. On my iPhone 6 I have 60-odd pictures from a vacation that I'd like to put on Facebook _AFTER_ editing them in Photoshop CS4. Is there a easy way to copy the photo stream pictures to Finder so I can get started? I don't see this option on my iPhone, and I definitely don't want to import them into iPhoto which is so limited in editing capabilities.
Thanks in advance for any/all help.
Mike

Who shall be able to see your photos? If you use "My Photo Stream", only persons using your AppleID and iCloud account will be seeing the Photos. That is very restrictive. And the PhotoStream does not store your photos for a long time. It only pushes the photos to your other devices.
You can use Shared Photo Streams. That are stored in the cloud and you can invite other iCloud users to view these streams. But they will need MacOS X Mt. Lion to see the stream. iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
But if you publish a journal as a webpage to your iCloud homepage, the webpage will be stored in the cloud and you can invite persons to view the webpage. They do not need to sign up for a shared photo stream.
To view your published web journal in a web browser you need to share a link, also to yourself on your windows laptop:
To share a link to your published journal, tap Share Journal and do any of the following:
Send a link in a message: Tap Message, add a recipient, and tap Send.
Tweet a link: Tap Twitter and enter a tweet. Tap Send.
Post a link to Facebook: Tap Facebook and tap Post.
Send an email with a link: Tap Mail, add a recipient, and tap Send.
Copy a link: Tap Copy and paste the link into another app.
Sharing your journal and publishing to Photo Stream may take a long time. Your iPad will not upload to the Cloud, if the battery is low (less then 20%).

Keywords not imported unless photos copied into iPhoto library.

Hey, all. Long-time lurker, first-time poster here.
I just noticed that iPhoto '09 does not appear to import keywords buried in the EXIF data with the photo unless one copies the photos ("Copy items to the iPhoto library" is ticked) to the iPhoto database. This is unlike previous versions of iPhoto, which would bring along the keywords even if one opted to keep the photos outside the iPhoto database.
I for one have always opted to not copy over my photos, but now it seems I will have to do so in order to take full advantage of iPhoto '09.
Anyone else notice this?

The keywords for all my photos are embedded in the IPTC:keywords field using Adobe Bridge (which also embeds the keywords in the XMP-dc:subject and XMP-lr:hierarchicalsubject fields as well). This has been my modus operandi through several versions of iLife now with no problems until now.
I again just tried importing a photo both ways (copying and not copying to library), and the photo that was not copied to the iPhoto library does not display the keywords, but the copied photo does. I did this experiment with a fresh, clean iPhoto '09 library, so I know it can't be corruption from an updated '08 library.
What’s odd is that all other metadat imports, for example, the GPS metadata. iPhoto had no problem parsing those fields, or any of the camera data fields. In light of that, I’m fairly certain that this isn’t any sort of permissions issue either on the photo itself or the volume it’s stored on; plus, I’m pretty finicky about my metadata (using a combination of exiftool, Google Earth, GeoTagger, and Bridge), so I’m pretty sure my metadata is in order and not corrupt.
Did you guys really have no problem when you duplicated this issue? Hmm... odd. Any suggestions?

Problem re-importing deleted photos back into iPhoto

I have deleted some photos in iPhoto but now want to import them from the SD card again. It won't let me do it, says they are already imported.

I found another thread that suggests checking the "include videos" in the Photo sync part of iTunes. I'll try that tonight.

HT201317 No video via photo stream into iPhoto with iOS7?

I can see the video I shared with my 5s iOS7 on other devices with iOS7 (iPad, other phones with iOS7) but not in my photo shared folder my own iPhoto on an iMac?
My iMac is updated. Is there an update coming our way to allow this to happen?

You're right. It looks like Aperture and iPhoto need to be updated by Apple to take advantage of this new feature, ie, videos in photostreams. It's strange that Apple doesn't document this fact anywhere as far as I can see. They should have explicitly stated this as a limitation in mac documentation once IOS 7 was released.
I'm thinking this feature will come along with the release of OS X Mavericks, but that's just a guess... anyone know for sure?

Deleted Photos in iCloud photo stream still

Photos that have been permanently deleted from iPad and iPhone are still appearing in iCloud photo stream on iPhoto. Aren't the devices supposed to sync with each other?

Now delete them from the Cloud...

Update iCloud photo stream

I am subscribed to my friends iCloud photo stream, but iPhoto refuses to update the stream when my friend add more pictures. Can I update the stream manually or how do I do? Have tried to unsubscribe and then subscribe again but it only showed her old pictures...

You can't manually update it. You might try going to iCloud>Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Photo Sharing, close iPhoto and restart your Mac, then go back and check Photo Sharing again. That might "jump start" things again.

How to import photos from photo stream into an event?
In iPhoto 9.4.3 the following works:
If you have not auto imported the photos from the Photo Stream, as Larry suugests, select the photos that you want to import in the Photo Stream, and drag them to the "Events" view in the Source List. They will be imported as new events, auto split with respect to your preferences.

My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

Can someone please tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photoshop Elements 11. o library

Can someone tell me how to import a photo from my iPhoto library into Photo Shop Elements 11. When I am in Photo Shop Elements and I go to import the only option is to import from a camera. I want to import a photo from iPhoto. If I can't figure this out Photo Shop Elements is totally useless to me.

Not sure what you are trying to do
If you want to use PSE as an editor for iPhoto then set it in the iPhoto preferences (you need to search the forums for the exact settings - they are not obvious)
The general answer to yoru question is to import a photo form iPhoto to any other program is to select the photo in iPhoto and export to the desktop and import from there
Please explain what it is taht you want to do

Is there an easy way to import those misfortunate photos back into iphoto

I moved my iphoto library to my external drive so that both my laptop and imac can use the synced photo library.
... but now my imac iphoto says I can not open my iphoto library, because is from a newer version of iphoto. And the application then closes.
I figured out my newer laptop has a newer version of iphoto on it.
Imac iphoto version is 6.0.6
Laptop iphoto version s 7.1.5
I Downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This created a new library but says a lot of my pictures are lost. I can search and find them on my external drive and reimport, but there are a lot of them! Any suggestions?
I'd rather use the 6.0.6 on my imac than pay for an upgrade.
I just won't use my laptop's iphoto.
BUT, how can I get my 6.0.6 working again with all of my pictures in tact? Or is there an easy way to import those misfortunate photos back into iphoto painlessly?
Any other solutions??
Will Snow Leopard have the newest iPhoto included?
Thank you!
Kim

Kim
If you want to revert to iPhoto 6 then you have two choices:
1. Restore from your back up
or
2. Create a new v6 Library and start over.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'.
Go into the Old iPhoto Library (Right Click on the Library Icon and choose ‘Show Package Contents) and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the old iPhoto Library.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
“Snow Leopard” is an OS Upgrade. While we have no idea what will be included with it, on past experience, no, it will not include a new version of iPhoto.
