Importing photos into iM09 - poor quality with snow leo

Another bad example from iMovie09:
since I have Snow Leo, when I import photos from iphoto into iM09, I get this on export 1080i AIC:
example
at the left you can see the original, right is the mess, iM09 does (snow leo only!). Those effects look much more worse in the reals video than in this screenshot. I have this prob with all black/dark parts of a picture since installation of snow leopard. This is really a bad joke and not acceptable. All my friends using pinnacle and other stuff laughing at me... :-((
Has this something to do with the alpha correction in snow leo? All the pictures and footage is unnatural bright and with those bad effects... awful. With 10.5 and iM08 the results were much better...

Checked again, this is NOT ONLY a snow leopard problem, it occurs even using 10.5 and iM08. Just drag a photo into iM8/9 and you will see this bad effect, more worse at dark areas.
This is a iMovie-only problem. Final Cut, iMovie06 HD or Premiere all have not this problem. Would say, Apple should take some time for quality improvements in developing iM10...

I am not able to import photos into Lightroom 5.7. When I select a folder, it doesn't show a preview of the images and the import button is greyed out. ??

I am not able to import photos into Lightroom 5.7. When I select a folder, it doesn't show a preview of the images and the import button is greyed out. ??
I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize
Sorry I have only a german version , so don't know what your menu will show.

Trying to import photos into Lightroom 5 isn't working

I am trying to import photos into my lightroom 5 catalog and it isn't working. Done this MANY times before and this time nothing. Tried importing directly from memory card and copying the files to the hard drive both just start the process and it never moves. Even tried putting the files in the folder I was going to use and then selected to Sync the folder. Lightroom recognized the 203 times in that folder... but nothing. Just sits there.
Using Lightroom on the Mac, importing JPG and a few AVI files. Tried single JPG (that I could open in preview) but nothing...
Any help would be appreciated!

Seems like this is related to specific files. If I make a new folder with only certain files it works. But seeming like it is more then a handful. Really painful, because once it has the issue you need to close lightroom, then lightroom needs to be forced to quit... it doesn't close cleanly.....
All the images that cause the problem seem fine in any other viewer....

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time.

I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4 Had no problem before this time. I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100. I have a Mac using 10.6.8. I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files. This happens with both raw and jpeg files. Thanks for a repl

thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission. I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer. It says can not read files with a code "298". I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode. I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

Trouble importing photos into Lightroom 3

I was no longer able to import photos into Light room 3 so I removed everything to "My Pictures" to a folder named Light room Photos and uninstalled and reinstalled Light room, but when I try to import my photos back into Light room from that folder it "no photos found" which was why I tried this to begin with as whenever I tried to import from a memory card it came up with "no photos found. Any ideas?@

I'm having the same problem as you.
Lightroom 5.2 has been running for a year and now it's just stops importing from my CF cards.
Is that the same problem, or a different problem?
What is the error message?
I've got Permissions set to allow me to do anything so, that ain't the issue either.
This is often the first response and when we insist that we see screen captures of the Import dialog box and the permissions on the folder specified under "Destination", it turns out the permissions are not set properly.
So, we need to see screen captures of both your Import dialog box and the permissions on that exact folder specified under Destination

Importing photos into PhotoShop Elements 9

Hi. Im very new to photoshop software. Any software for that matter
I have about 15000 photos in windows gallery that i initially imported into PSE. But since doing that, as PSE was soooo slow, i went back to windows gallery and cleaned up and organised my photos there, putting them in the correct sub folders, thinking they would automatically update in PSE. This doesnt seem to be the case. Can anyone assist me in how to import photos into PSE, and once they are imported, can i delete from windows gallery ? Oh and any otehr tips for a newbie is appreciated
Thanks heaps!!

Hi
Im sorry, but i dont completely understand your answer, although it was a little helpful.
The first sentence you advised to make sub folders in windows program.
Im pretty sure thats what ive done. But i thought it would automatically update to PSE. You mentioned it would not. Thankyou for that part.
I have cleared/re organised my windows picture folders and organised them into sub folders but when i went into PSE the old pic files and folders were showing there - except they advised no picture or data is available.
So this confuses me as there is too much files in PSE now and i cant seem to get rid of them.
The other concern is the new photos i have loaded into windows pictures program, how do i get them into PSE. This is really hard to explain in email., so i do apologise if i dont make sense or repeat myself.
But my main concern is if PSE doesnt update why does it keep old pic folders in the program if nothing is available.
i tried to uninstall and then reinstall and start teh program all over again with my newly organised windows folders but the old stuff remianed even though i uninstalled the program ????
Thanks

Import photoes into existing album

After upgrade to 10.6, IPhoto no longer gives me to the option to import photos to an exisiting album. Any way around that other than merging events after the import?

You talk about both albums and events - which do you mean? They are not the same
You can not (and never have been able to ) import photos into an existing event - an imp[ort will always create one or more events - then yu can merge, split, etc the events
Albums are logical things that can be created during an import (along with an event) but usually are subjects so you add imported photos to them later

Trouble Importing Photos into iMovie

I am trying to import photos into iMovie and am having trouble. They look like they are importing OK, and when the import is through (the red bar has finished loading) the picture disappears and the clip becomes blank. This is happening when I import from the finder, from iPhoto, or from FILE>Import, and with lots of different photo sizes, none seem to work. My iMovie project file is located on an external drive with tons of space. I have plenty of space of the startup disk, so I don't know why this is happening, and it was working fine a few days ago. Any ideas?

I had this problem last year (August-Sept 2007), and I'm having it again now (August 2008). When I import jpeg photos from iPhoto to iMovie, they turn black and are not accessible in iMovie. In addition, this time when I imported several photos, the replay of the iMovie became jerky. When I threw out the photos, the movie became smoother, the way it was originally. There seems to be some sort of bug that has not been fixed in over a year.

When importing photos into LR, the year is incorrect. How to fix?

When I first created my Lightroom catalog, each new folder would fall under 2012, and within that folder would be the date, so for New Year's Eve "2012-12-31". Now that it is 2013, when I import photos into my 2013 folder, Lightroom instantly tries to create a subfolder of 2012 and another subfolder in that with today's date. I can't seem to get Lightroom to stop doing this. See the image below to see what I mean.
I'd like it to just put today's importing images into a subfolder under the 2013 folder, called "2013-01-25". It still wants to create this 2012 folder. Sorry if I am not using the correct wording but this is what is happening so everything shot in 2013 keeps getting put into a new 2012 folder each time.
As you can see I want the subfolders to be organized and Lightroom already has the date format correct. Please help me with this.
Thank you very much.
I am running Lightroom 4.3 on a 13" Macbook Air with Mac OSX 10.8.2, 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, with RAW photos from a Canon EOS 6D.

As far as iOS is concerned naming or labeling your photos is pointless since it's a "visual and tactile" device where you touch or swipe what you see or a folder opens to show you it's entire contents. IPad and iPhone was never intended to search for a picture as such like you would on your desktop or laptop.

Importing photos into iPhoto 9 already geotagged in Picasa 3.5

Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto 9 that have already been geotagged in Picasa 3.5?
The Goetagging in Picasa seems (to me) to be easier to use (close integration with Google Earth, but the look and feel of the iPhoto app, slideshows and printing options are far better in iPhoto. (just my personal opinion - maybe not shared by all!)
Are the photos tagged by Picasa in such a way that the lat/long info is embedded in the file and readable by iPhoto?

I have no idea if Picassa "properly" tags the photos or not (i.e. puts the data into the photo's exif). I guess you could simply tag on then add it to iPhoto and see if the location sticks.
But as an aside, I use Graphic Converter (CG) to, among a number of tasks, Geotag my photos before I add them to iPhoto. GeoTagging can be done with a GPS data log file or you can also Geotag them using Google Earth, which you may prefer. CG definitely tags them correctly and when I later add them to iPhoto the locations are correct.

When importing photos into iPhoto I get an error Unreadable Files:

When importing photos into iPhoto I get an error Unreadable Files: The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
I can open the JPG in question with PREVIEW, photoshop etc.. actually if I try to import a photo that I had originally imported it also fails..
Please help... Thank you..

I too had this error message (and to be honest, it was becoming a bit of a pain). I resolved it in a slightly different way to Terence.
I had 10 photos that were allegedly unreadable; however, as Terence rightly says, they are duplicates. When I opened iPhoto I mad a note of each of the files concerned and did a Spotlight search throughout my hard drive.
For each photo, there were four or five duplicates. I deleted all but one of each of the photos and then reopened iPhoto. No more error message.
The original problem stemmed from importing my files directly from an external device I was using with a previous computer [that was running XP].
Anyway, hope this helps.

Why cant I Imports photos into a trailer storyboard?

My import buttons on the right side of my workspace are greyed out while Im in the storyboard... USELESS... I especially need to import photos into the storyboard... anyone know how to resolve this without buying a 3rd party app to convert he photos into .MOV files?

Hi
Yes it's tedious. But need to be done.
Use iMovie to convert the photo to a movie file - by
• create a new project
• drop photo into it
• Export / Share it as full quality Quicktime (.mov)
• Use this new .mov file in Your Trailer
Yes this could have been 100% easier. But still it can be done.

I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG". Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG". Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

Does this happen if you try to Import to Library within iPhoto, or is it when you connect your camera (and which is set to automatically use iPhoto) that this error message occurs?
If you open Image Capture > Preferences is iPhoto selected as the choice when a camera is connected?

I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

Good Morning,
I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
thank you.

Have you restarted holding down the Opt key? That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist. Then select the SL partition for boot. Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.
