Importing Paint Shop Photo Album 4 keywords into iPhoto

I have many years worth of digital photos organized in folders and marked with Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 4 keywords. Is there any way to import not just the photos, but the keywords into iPhoto?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unless there's some way to get JPS to write the keywords into the files I don't know of any way to do what you want. An Applescript might be able to read the JPS dB file and write the keyword to the appropriate IPTC field in the file. But that's beyond my capability.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do I import all my photos from my iPhone into iPhoto?

    Following the directions for importing, iPhoto only shows 131 photos for importing which seems to be a random selection from my 21 different files containing almost 1100 photos.  I want to import all my photos and would prefer they import in the labeled files that I have on my iPhone.  Why is this so difficult?
    Thanks for any help provided!!

    Note that
    You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device.
    In other words the camera roll photos
    If you have PhotoStream you can add the other photos to PS and import to your Mac from PS

  • I'm finally moving my photos from my PC to my MacBook Pro.  I have 8 years worth of photos organized into very specific albums.  Can I import the album structure directly into iPhoto or am I going to have to recreate everything in iPhoto?

    I'm finally moving my photos from my PC to my MacBook Pro.  I have 8 years worth of photos organized into very specific albums.  Can I import the album structure directly into iPhoto or am I going to have to recreate everything in iPhoto?

    If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
    Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
    You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
    However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
    If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.

  • Import from Corel Photo Album 6

    I'd like to import a library of a few thousand photos from Corel Photo Album 6 into iPhoto '08. The photos in Photo Album include a Picture Title which is stored in the Photo Album database, not in the photo file and is different from the File Name.
    Is there a way to import the photos and the Titles into iPhoto '08?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't think so unless there's a way to get Corel to write the titles to the files.

  • Is it possible to remove the Last Import selection in Photo Albums?

    I've got a first gen iPhone on 2.0 and was wondering if it's possible to remove Last Import from the Photo Albums screen. I've checked for options in iPhone's Settings and in iPhoto's Preferences but haven't found anything useful.
    Suggestions? Thanks.

    you will  able to disable the group tree icon panel when the crystal report opened. to do this,follow the steps mentioned below.
    1. Go to your BO installation folder and then tomcat folder and then choose the CrystalReports web application.
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\CrystalReports
    Now change the web.xml of the this web app and insert a context parameter

  • Import photos off iPhone camer into iPhoto

    For some reason, I cannot seem to get iPhoto to recognize my iPhone anymore. I just need to pull photos of iPhone camera into iPhoto so I can make a book. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Have you tried image capture (in your applications folder)?
    Check the iPhoto preference for action when a camera is connected
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help

  • What is the best way to transfer photos currently in Shutterfly into iPhoto?

    Hi!
    What is the best way (as far as highest quality and most efficient) to transfer photos currently in Shutterfly into iPhoto?  Do I need Shutterfly to make CDs of all of my current photos?
    Thanks for any help!!

    How to make the best quality Sutterfly copies is a good question for ShutterFly support - eithere download the pohotos or get the CD depending on what ShutterFly support suggests and then import to iPhoto
    iPhoto simply takes the quality you provide and makes an exact copy of it

  • How do I get photos from ios7 iphone into iPhoto or aperture on my OS 10.8 iMac

    Anyone know how to transfer photos from ios7 iphone into iPhoto or Aperture on my OS 10.8 iMac?

    Thx.  I thought that was what the various manuals were telling me to do but it wasn't working.  Your confirmation was useful in that it prompted me to double check (again) my usb connection (in its highly inconvenient location in the back of my iMac).  Voila.  "Always suspect operator error."

  • Why can't I download photos marked as NSMenultem into iPhoto?

    Why can't I download photos marked as NSMenultem into iPhoto?

    Where are these files from? That does not sound like an image file. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    from where are you downloading?
    where are you downloading to?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Why cant I drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore

    Hi, I'm not very techy, in the last few days I seem unable to drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore, always been able to before, any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

    It's only a workaround till you find a solution.  This problem is not affecting everyone so it's associated with one's particular setup. 
    Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there. Next boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command+R keys held down, and run Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair the disk.  If that doesn't help boot again in the Recovery volume and reinstall the system.

  • Move photos albums from Picassa to Iphoto

    Hello,
    Does somebody have a solution to move or transfer photo albums from Picassa to Iphoto?
    Of course with as much as possible maintaining the titles, descriptions etc given in Picassa. Thanks for help.
    Roland Demey

    Is this Picasa the app or Picasa the Web Service?
    You'll need to export from whichever. What metadata gets written to the files will be a setting on Picasa. If they are written to standards like Exif or IPTC then they will be picked up by iPhoto.
    Testing on one or two first might be an idea.

  • I imported a ton of photos from my iPhone into iPhoto and after deleting off phone they're not in iPhoto.... HELP PLEASE!

    I have an iphone 5S, using version 7.0.4. I had a TON of photos on my camera roll which was taking up space so this evening I synced and chose to import all 600 photos into iphoto (version 9.5.1). It took a while to import all the photos as expected and seemed to be slowing counting down during the import. At the end it told me all the photos had been sucessfully imported, showed thumbnails (or similar) on a roll of them all and asked if I wanted to delete the photos from my iphone. As I was doing this due to a space issue I of course said yes. The annoying thing is that before choosing to delete I clicked on a random photo to import it just to check it was infact already imported. I had the message box telling me it had been imported and did I want a duplicate, apply to all duplicates etc. So I thought it safe to delete off my phone.
    Once they were deleted, I now can't find them ANYWHERE on my iphoto. Please someone help me, surely they are somewhere? I really hope so, i have some precious photos special once in a lifetime events with my children. Grateful for any help!

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
