Sure, easier done than said... Simply grab the photo you want at the finder level, "Drag 'n Drop" it directly to your open project window, and you're done.

Yes, drop the photos from the desktop to a iWeb Photopage. If you have an empty Album page, it will be automatically filled.

Can I import Photos NOT in iPhoto?

I have a large number of photos on my computer that I'd like to use in iMovie but DON'T want to import them into iPhoto.
Is there any way to accomplish this? Seems like the only options for Photos is either via a connected camera or thru iPhoto.
Am I missing something?

You can drag photos in to an iMovie Project from the Finder.

Is your QuickTime up to date?
Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later. But I have version 8.1.2. I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I added memory to my MacBook Pro (now 4gb) and upgraded to Lion. Now my iphone 4 won't sync-gets stuck at stage 7 of 8 on importing photos. My iphoto is'09 version 8.1.2

I recently added memory to my MacBook Pro so I could upgrade to Lion and use the cloud for my contact list. It's been a bit of a mess, since I use Entourage as my email program. The REAL problem I'm having now is that my iPhone 4 now won't sync. iTunes "quits unexpectedly" at stage 7 (of 8) in the syncing process, where it says it's importing photos. My iPhoto is '09, version 8.1.2 Is this not compatible with Lion?

I have the same problem. I'm suspecting a corrupt photo, but the logs don't give me a clue. Or maybe this version of iTunes needs some further tuning.

Open iMovie. Open your Project.
Open the Finder. Navigate to your photo. Drag and drop it into the Project.

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

How to import photos from multiple iphoto libraries to iPad

How do I import photos from multiple iPhoto libraries from my iMac to the new iPad? I have 4 different iPhoto Libraries on my iMac.
I can import photos from iPhoto library 1, to the iPad, but when I import photos from iPhoto Library 2, created on my iMac to the iPad,
it deletes the original photos that I imported from the first iPhoto Library and replaces them with the import from library 2.
I only want to import selected photos from each library to my iPad. Can someone plese help me?

As Ralph has suggested, if you want to sync photos from your computer, you must include all photos that you want to sync - with each and every sync. You cannot import photos from another Main photo folder on the computer. You must create an all-in-one photo library in iPhoto and sync from that folder. You can select one level of sub folders from within that main folder, but all of those folders must be included in the main folder - in your case it is in iPhoto. That is just how the sync process works with Photos.
I don't know how using third party apps affects the photos that you have already synced from iPhoto, but take a look at these apps in this Google search. Maybe Wifi transfer is the way to go for you.

There is no upgrade to iPhoto with OS X 10.10.3 - here was an update to version 9.6.1 a few months ago and Photo 1.0 was added with 10.10.3 - what software and which version are you having trouble with - iPhoto or Photos?

IPhoto 6.0.5 Crashes when opening after asking to import photos not in lib

Hi, I wonder if any one can help me with this. Each time i open iPhoto (6.0.5) I get a message stating "67 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library folder that were not imported. Would you like to import them?" if I click yes the program starts to import them then crashes. The next time I try to open the same message appears this time saying 96 photos have been found. Occasionally it will produce a dialogue box stating that some of the photos are duplicates and I check the box to same don't import but it the crashes in the same way. If I click no to the import iPhoto opens fine.
I have already tried doing a full rebuild of the cache and a repair of the disk permissions but the same problem occurs. Obviously the simplest solution is just to click no but is there any way of finding these photos in my Library and deleting them?
Black MacBook 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM OS 10.4.7

Hi! Here's what I think is happening:
- A bad image or file in those 67 photos is causing iPhoto to crash.
- iPhoto, when it is trying to import, puts those photos in a temporary folder while it organizes the photos into the Originals folder by year and roll, creates thumbnails and does general tasks.
- Every time it encounters the bad file, it crashes and leaves the import unfinished. On relaunch, it wants to start importing again.
You have to break the cycle and hopefully find the bad image file. Go into your iPhoto Library and look for a folder called "Import". Remove that folder, or iPhoto will keep trying to import from it. You can manually attempt to import those 67 photos later, to identify the bad file.

I do not have the people and media tabs to allow me to import photos from my iPhotos ,i only have the elive, quick, guided and expert tabs, can anyone help please?

Hi,
Im having problems importing from my iPhotos, i just bought photoshop elements 13 and mac book at the same time and am on a bit of a learning curve, i noticed that on all tutorials there were People and Media tabs which i cannot see, all i can see is elive, Quick, Guided and Expert, can anyone please help?
Many Thanks In advance
Nicol

Elements consists of two separate but interrelated programs: the editor, where you work on your photos, and the organizer, which you can use to organize them. You are looking in the editor. To see the organizer, click the organizer button in the welcome screen or at the bottom of the editor.
Now, do you want to keep your photos in iphoto or in the organizer? That's a choice you must make, sooner or later. The organizer does include a get photos from>iphoto command, but that will copy all the photos in your iphoto library to a new location and make organizer databases for the copies. Is that what you want to do, or do you want to use iphoto to organize your photos, in which case you would not use the PSE organizer?
