Importing a few photos at a time from iPhoto

I have been using iPhoto and have almost filled my laptop's memory. I want to transfer my photos (because I have many shot in RAW) to Adobe Photshop Elements 10. How do I impost one event (from iPhoto) at a time to Photshop? I was unable to transfer the entire library.

Hi Barbara, Thanks for answering. Yes, eventually, but when I tried, it canceled the attempt -not enough space.....I have already copied my entire iPhoto library to external drives. However (and I probably don't completely understand it) as I've been told, iPhoto only shows & works w/ jPegs, not Raw. Many, but not all of my photos are in RAW and I'd like to move up to the next level (why I purchased Photoshop). I have done a great deal of labeling, keywording and editing my photos in iPhoto and I don't want to have to start all over again. Am I correct in assuming that when I transfer photos from iPhoto to Photoshop, that much of the added info (editing,labelling, keywording, etc. is transfered along w/ the photo data?

Why does my iphoto continue to say " photos are being imported to the photo library" every time I try to close? I have not been imported and this has been keeping me from closing for weeks.

How to download 'all photos at a time' from shared stream?

I have a photo stream shared album (with 120 pictures) on icloud. This is shared from iPhone. I opened the link on my mac/windows in the browser. Now, how to download 'all photos at a time' from shared stream? I don't want to download each photo at a time. There are 100s of photos to download. I can't open one photo at a time and keep downloading them separately. There should be a way to download all photos from a shared stream. Please let me know how you are dealing with this?

1.you need create a dba user in your database
2.you can run the script as command
eg. use PL/sql developer ->new command window->open script-> run.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
I look forward to you help and advice
Mark

Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
Any thoughts?
Regards
Mark
PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash?????

Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash;ie emptied trash..

Depends on the version of iPhoto - some details would help us help you
If you have iPhoto '11 then the photos go from the iPhoto trash to the system trash and you can recover them there and import backinto iPhoto
Otherwise you you are looking at data recovery software like file salvage http://subrosasoft.com/software/filesalvage or a data recovery service

How do you order more than one project at a time from iPhoto?

Ordering different projects at the same time from iPhoto to save shipping costs

This is why I no longer order books from iPhoto. I use Picaboo and Blurb. It is ridiculous that you can't create a number of projects and place them in a cart for checkout to save on shipping. I thought Apple was supposed to be leading the pack but in this instance they are sorely lagging behind. How difficult would it be for them to create a cart, upload your projects and purchase them at once. Do they really need to stick it to us for more shipping costs?

Copy more than one clip at a time from iPhoto to iMovie?? Please help!

Is it possible to copy more than one clip at a time from iPhoto to iMovie? I can't find a way to select/copy more than one.

OK you can leave them in iPhoto and access them from the iMovie Event for iPhoto.
If you prefer to move them to a regular iMovie Event, you can do the following.
1) right-click on one of the iPhoto clips and select "Reveal in Finder". This will open a finder window showing the clips in the iPhoto Library.
2) In a different Finder window, create a folder to hold your event in iMovie. If you are using an internal drive, create a folder using your desired Event Name under the Movies/iMovie Events Folder.
Note: If you are using an external drive, create a Folder called iMovie Events at the top level of the external drive. Then create the (Event Name) folder under this. The external drive must be formatted as MacOS Extended (journaled) for this to work.
3) Select all the clips in the iPhoto finder window that are part of this event and Move them to the Movies/iMovie Event/(Event Name) folder.
4) After you have done this for all the Events, open iMovie and let it generate thumbnails. This may take a while.

Unable to import a vid clip of 267 MB from iphoto (6.0.6) to imovie (6.0.3)

I am unable to import a vid clip of 267 MB from iphoto (6.0.6) to imovie (6.0.3). I tried changing the format from MPEG 1 to MPEG 4 via streamclip 1.8 but when trying to import a window comes up saying "Error during import - the file could not be imported: unknown error". It says this no matter what format I try. (MPEG 1,2,4 and compressing it to a zip. file. (20KBs, 44KBs, 115MBs etc.). Imovie "HELP" says that it should import at least the clip in the MPEG 4 format (115.9 MBs). Any thoughts on this appreciated ---- Toroya

is your converted file playable with Quicktime Player?
rename your converted file in Finder .. avoid any 'special' characters as  ☜ ©, blanks, 'signs' | \ …= dots ] ... just letters...
.. just to mention: iM is a DV-editor.. preferrable, you should work with 'dv-streams' = best quality, no loss, have a look in Streamclip's Export Options ... esp. when working with allready highly compressed material as mpegs ....

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto? Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet. But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

I have no idea why you would want to do anything
Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option

Where are the "receipts" of the photos that I email from iPhoto? I have no record that I can find of these.

Where are the receipts of the photos that I email from Iphoto. I can't find a record of those that I have sent.

I am not using it in a "professional manner". Even I need to know who I sent that particular photo to and when and by the way, who are you to define what Apple meant by the design of its software? I think you overstep yourself here. I also think Apple has made every effort to lead people to believe that it serves a dual purpose as a personal as well as business tool. I don't need sarcasm from you or anyone when I am trying to learn that which is hidden (or absent) in the software. Being professional does not necessarily mean for a "business", but rather the level of sophistication and usefulness in the product.

I lost all my photos when I upgraded from Iphoto to Photos

I lost all my photos when I upgrade from Iphoto to photos, can I get back? please help

You need to provide more details about what happened. But, here is something you can check.
When you run Photo and it converts your library, it doesn't delete the iPhoto library. Look in your Pictures folder - you should see two libraries:
iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary (this is the original iPhoto library)
Photos Library.photoslibrary (this is the new Photos library)
You should still be able to open the original iPhoto library. The iPhoto application was not deleted from your computer. (It was probably removed from your Dock if you had an icon there.) Look in the Applications folder, find iPhoto, and run it. It should show your original library with all your original images.
It is always a good idea to back up your photos (and the iPhoto library) before trying these migrations. Problems do occur...
Hope this helps.
David
