In MAC OS, does PSE9 duplicate your photos on import?

I'm moving from PC to MacBook Pro and just learned that iPhoto duplicates your images when you import into iPhoto? Does PSE9 do that or does it just create a catalog and not make duplicates of your photos on your hard drive?

Yes right. Organizer is db-based application which stores associations between actual files on your hard disk/external hard disk/cd/dvd to their previews (called thumbnails) within the EO catalog. Along with these links, it stores tags/albums information which are two modes of organizing your files in EO.
It does not replicate these files anywhere on your disk.
Thanks

  • Does iTunes duplicate mp3 files I import, thus doubling space used on mac?

    Hello.
    May be a silly question, but here goes:
    When I import mp3's onto my mac (from my old computer), i put them all into one folder..
    when i double click to play, they automatically play through itunes.. now i've noticed that itunes NOW ALSO creates a duplicate folder/file of those tunes that I have now played through iTunes, (in "user" > Music > iTunes > iTunes Music)...
    does this mean that there are now 2 copies of the mp3 on my hardrive, therefore taking up space?? I'm not entirely sure - but would not be happy if every song actually takes up twice the amount of space...
    Any help??
    Thanks everyone!

    I'm having a similar problem. Just installed iTunes, first iPod product, and my file usage has dwindled by the size of the music files. They've all been doubled, it looks like. Where is this located, and how can I be sure not to move/delete the wrong ones?
    Or, where is the setting to stop this, and if I change the setting do I need to re-install iTunes to get rid of the wasted file space?
    Thanks.

  • Does Aperture resize your photos?

    I noticed when moving my iPhoto Library to Aperutre, that all of my photos are much smaller in file size then they were... For example, a photo in my iPhoto library weighs in at 7.6 MB and when moved to Aperture, it is resized to 1.2 MB? I don't want them to be resized, it affects my quality as a photographer. Am I doing something wrong here?

    If you want to see the size of the photo in Aperture, go to the Metadata view. It will give pixel dimensions and file size.  If it does not, you can choose those things to be shown.
    To get a photo out of Aperture, you can Export it instead of dragging it out. When exporting you can choose original size or a variety of other sizes. 
    Or you can choose to have full size high quality previews ("Don't limit" the size and put the quality slider near the high end). If that is your choice, you can drag the preview and get a full size export. I believe you will need to regenerate previews for those images that have already been imported.  Full size previews take a lot more disk space.
    I believe that apps that have the media browser (Pages, iMovie, etc) use the preview image.  So if you want them to have access to the full size image via the media browser, the preview will have to be full size.  If I am wrong on this, someone will hopefully correct me.

  • When you connect your itouch to itunes does it save your photos/notes from your ipod?

    My itouch recently froze, i was told the only way of saving it is to reset it to it's original settings. I have important photos & notes on there that I can't lose. When you connect your ipod to itunes does it save that information?
    Please answer this if you know the answer. I need to get this figured out.

    Unless you can connect the iPod normally to your computer and get the photo and notes to the iPod without restoring the iPod.  It sound like that can't be done.
    Just what have yout ried?
    - Resetting will not delete anything and may all connecing the iPod to your computer and geting your stuff.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Lightroom does not display a photo after import.

    There are 3 photo currently in a folder.  I saved two more into that folder with photoshop CC
    both in tiff and psd format.  I imported as normal but the photos do not show up in the library window.
    If I try to reimport the photos are greyed out as though they are already listed.

    I found the problem.  The photos were duplicated and in another location that they should not have been.  I did a search all photos and found them that way.  Once I knew that it was easy to rectify.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

  • Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?    Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud?

    I have 2 questions about the new Photos app for Mac (I'm running 10.10.3 on my MacBook Air 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 mid 2012)):
    1.Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?
    2. Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud?  That would free 59GB off my Mac and that would be very good.

    1.Should I delete my old iPhoto Library Current folder once everything is transferred to Photos Library Current?
    You can, but I would wait, until you have have been working with Photos for some time and are sure, that everything migrated well. There may be hidden flaws in your library and teething problems with Photos. Don't be in a hurry to abandon iPhoto completely. You may need to go back, until bugs have been fixed.  Th Photos Library does not duplicate the photos in your iPhoto Library. the media files are shared and do not need extra space: See:  Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
    2. Does this mean that all my new photos on any device can come off my Mac and ONLY be in the Photos Library which is in the cloud?  That would free 59GB off my Mac and that would be very good.
    If you have enough iCloud storage.  But Photos will still need space for local thumbnails on all devices.
    See:  Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
    Fill your library, not your device.
    iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.

  • Something went wrong with iPad photo/Video import and now iPhoto on Mac does not see content.

    I just connected my iPad (4.3.2) to my mac (10.5). It launched the synch process for photos and videos and everything went fine. I then clicked on one of the newly imported photos in iPhoto and it choked and ultimately closed the app and gave me message along the lines of "iPhoto quit Unexpectedly." I rebooted the machine and when it came up went to look in iPhoto and saw that the new photos/video were not there. They are still on the iPad (Fortunately!) However when I reconnect the iPad to the Mac it does not see any content to import. In essence it seems to think it did the import and is not aware that it lost the content.
    There's a couple possible solutions I'm interested in. One, are the photos/video somewhere on the Mac and just need to be dug up? I nosed around a bit but found nothing. Then other solution would be is there some way to force iPhoto to reimport what's on the iPad, ignoring that it feels it's already done this?
    Thanks,
    Wil

    Where did these photos come from to begin with? Did you import them from the iPad into iPhoto on your Mac? Is that what you are saying here?

  • When you rebuild your iPhoto library does it erase all your photos

    When you rebuild your iPhoto library does it erase your photos and my iPhoto keeps crashing i was wondering if there was a fix for this?

    When you rebuild your library to be able to use the new version of iPhoto if that is what you are talking about, it will simply rebuild it so that the new version can access the photos that you already have on your computer.  This will not affect the files in a way to delete them.  It simply just makes it so that the new version can be compatible and use the photos that you have on your computer.

    I purchased a new imac (4G, OS X 10.6.8) in Feb 2011 and thought my old iPhoto library transferred over. It wasn't. And I can't get iPhoto to open on my old mac. It says, "can't open your current version of iPhoto using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto". I don't think my old mac will support the newer version of iPhoto so I feel like I'm stuck (this is why I got a new mac -- cheaper than upgrading all my software, etc). Help! I really need to get to my old photos, and no, they are not backed up anywhere. Thanks.

    You have two options:
    Run the Library on a machine that has the same version as the machine that was stolen.
    or
    Recover the files from this library and start over from scratch.
    To recover the files:
    Go to your Pictures Folder (or whereever you have the back up) and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Your originals are in the Masters folder.
    Note this will only recover your photos as imported from you camera.

  • Duplicate/Triplicate photos uploaded to Facebook albums from iphoto

    When I upload photos from Iphoto to Facebook, the same photo is uploaded two or even three times, and I then have to delete the duplicate & triplicate photos. How can I prevent this from happening? Thank you very much!

    Give renewing your iPhoto preference file a shot -
    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
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • IPhoto duplicates (doubles) all photos when importing

    Hi
    iMac 27 2009/10
    OSX 10.8.5
    iPhoto 11 9.4.3
    When importing from an iPhone (and i think a digital camera) iPhoto imports say 10 photos but it puts 20 into iPhoto - i.e. it duplicates every photo it imports
    It never used to do this and i can't see anywhere in preferences where there is a setting to import photos and double them up ?
    When we import some 100 photos and we get 200 into iPhoto its a real pain to have to go through them and delete the duplicates

    If you're shooting HDR photos with your iPhone and don't want double imports turn off the Keep Normal Photo under Settings ➙ Photos & Camera on your iPhone:
    Frankly, I'd keep the normal photo. It might be far better than the HDR version, if the camera was not perfectly stabilised or the target moved. Usually it requires the large screen on the Mac to be able to compare the normal photo to the HDR version, to be able to see, if the HDR version is passable.

    I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
    PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
    Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
    Yes
    And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
    Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
    There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
    Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
    PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
    -- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
    I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

  • Edit in iphoto 11 just duplicates the photo but won't open the edit tools.  How can I fix this?

    When I try to edit a photo in iphoto, I select a photo and click on the edit button but all it does is duplicate the photo and doesn't give me any editing tools.  How can I fix this?
    I have tried exporting a photo, importing it again but the same thing happens.

    Thanks Terence.  This solved my problem.  I am using iphoto 11. For some reason it was set to edit in a different place, but I don't remember ever changing it.  You are a  legend

  • What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.
