Iphoto '08 exporting single albums

In iphoto '06 I could drag and drop a album to a CD for achieving. This was useful for those albums that were only viewed occasionally (e.g weddings). Inserting the CD would open iphoto and allowed the album to be viewed a a shared device with the albums listed. This feature allowed all the photo tags to be retained as well a both the original and modified photos.
The albums I created in iphoto '06 still can be opened in iphoto '08.
However,I can no longer achieve albums in iphoto '08. I can only export photos, without the album links. So, when they are imported back, I would have to recreate the album. The only recommendation at the apple store was to use TM. I could also go into iphoto library and copy the full library, but this is risky.
This seems like a step back from the earlier '06 feature. Any suggestions on how to save selected albums..

You mis-remember. This was not done by drag and drop but was done using the Share -> Burn command.
This facility still exists unchanged in v7 (iPhoto 08).

Exporting as Albums in iPhoto

Hi. I just purchased an HP MediaSmart Server and would like to export all my photos to reside on the server. iPhoto exports single albums or the whole library. Is there a utility (or anything??) that would take my whole library and export all the albums automatically. Right now I would have to do each album individually.
Thanks!

This didn't work for me. I'm using iPhoto '11, with OS 10.7.5 Lion. When I export a photo from iPhoto to my desktop, then open it in Preview and go to the Inspector, the Created Date and the Modified Date are both today, not the date in Dec. 2008 when the photo was taken.
This is a pretty big issue. Why does this happen?
Probably you are looking at the file metadata in the inspector not the photo EXIF metadata as TD's example shows

Applescript to export single iPhoto album

I'm looking for a script that will allow me to export a single iPhoto album. I'd like to be able to automate it (eg. once daily). The name of the album never changes, but the content will.
I've found a few starting points, but nothing I've been able to wrap my head around. Most seem to require an actual input as opposed to a defined album.
Any help?
yeti

Depending of what you mean by “exporting an album”, the following script might do what you are asking for.
set theDestinationFolder to POSIX file "/Users/user name/some folder" as alias
tell application "iPhoto"
    set theImagePaths to image path of photos of album "My Super Awesome Album"
end tell
repeat with thisPath in theImagePaths
    set thisFile to POSIX file thisPath as alias
    tell application "Finder" to duplicate thisFile to theDestinationFolder with replacing
end repeat

How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

File -> Export to a folder and copy it over.
That will give you a folder with the images. There is no way to move an album outside of iPhoto. You would need to have a library containing it.

Iphoto exporting an album entirely

I want to export an album from iPhoto into a file.....but I want the album to remain an album and not end up as separate files. Many thanks if you can answer my question

An album is like a virtual folder. So to keep the photos together as they are in the album create a new folder on the Desktop and export the photos into it.
If you want to put them all in a single file launch Preview and drag all of the photos onto the Preview icon on the Dock. That will create a Preview document with each photo as a separate page. It can be saved as a pdf file.

Exporting an album or group of photos from IPhoto 08

I have read the various posts on exporting photos from IPhoto 08. I have an email program that allows only one attachment/file. When I export an album to the desktop, it is not delivered as album but includes all the separate JPEG photos in the album. My desktop then shows only the separate JPEG photos. Thus I am unable to attach an entire album/file to any program, but only separate pictures. What can I do?? By the way, I old and not real sharp on the Mac, so make any suggestions simple please! Thanks!

Stephen
When you export the Album, make a folder on the desktop to receive the pics:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Then you can zip that folder (in the Finder: File Menu -> Compress 'Folder Name'. This will make it a zip file. Attach that to your email.
What do you use for email? I've never heard of one that allows only a single attachment.

I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album)

I have recently purchased an IPad Air. This comes with "IPhoto" as well as it's usual photo App. I do not have a Mac, instead I am syncing it to my windows PC. Is there any way of actually moving a picture around, (arranging photos in a single album), in either of these apps???? They claim to be able to "Organize" or "arrange" Photos, but for the life of me I can't figure out how......could you recommend any apps that actually allow someone to move individual photos around on an IOS Device.

No, reordering within folders and albums is not supported. the yare arranged automatically by date. I found this, but I have not used any of the apps besides iPhone. You might check the descriptions to see if they do what you need.

IPhoto 08 exporting albums

I have a Mac laptop running 10.5.2 with iPhoto 08 and FCE
(express)4.0. I have a plugin called Multifader by CM ImageFlow Fx and am making a 4 minute photomontage. My problem is that I don't know how to set the quality in iPhoto for exporting. For example I have a number of photos that are wallet sized 2.5 x 3. When I export my whole album and then reimport it in FCE with Multifader it seems as if the quality of the smaller photos is diminished. Is there anyway to get around this? I want to play this video eventually on a widescreen tv and/or through a projector on a regular sized projecter screen.

There's no way to make a wallet size pic look acceptable on widescreen tv or on a large projector screen. There are only so many pixels in the pic and whole lot more on the screen.
In general, when working with FCE I've got best results using tif files rather than jpeg. Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue you can set the kind to tif, then complete the export to a folder on the desktop. Then import this folder of images into FCE.

In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photos in the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them to disk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doing wrong?

When you sort the Album in iphoto are you sorting manually? Or by date of the photos?
When you sort in the Finder how are are you sorting?
Here's one way to do what you're trying to do:
Create your Album and sort the pics as you want them. Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

How do i export an album in iphoto to a harddrive

how do i export an album in iphoto to a harddrive

Simply, you don't. An Album is a concept that exists in iPhoto only and not in the Finder.
What you can do is export the photos from the Album to a Folder on the Hard Drive. Use the File -> Export command.

Export an album from iPhoto to Aperture

When I tried to export an album from iPhoto the following notice appeared; "Unable to create/users/the house icon/Pictures. Any ideas? I appreciate all the help you can give me. Thank you.

You can get this message if your iPhoto Library is corrupted. Go through that Album and Select the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

My iphoto doesnt let me export an album to quicktime video.

Since i updated my iphoto, when i try to export an album to quicktime video says that is impossible to find the file and didnt let me do it. Anybody know why is happening that.

i try to export an album to quicktime video
What do you mean? Are you trying to render a slideshow as a quicktime video? What exactly is the error message?
says that is impossible to find the file and didnt let me do it.
What file cannot be found? If it is an image file, remove the offending photo from the slideshow. Maybe for one of your images the original master image file cannot be found. Do you see any exclamation points on the thumbnails of your photos?

BTW: This is the iPhoto on IOS devices forum. I'll ask the community hosts to relocate your question to the iLife iPhoto forum. You will get more help there.

In photoshop 10 when I export an album to a dvd I can't open it on my computer with windows 7 what do I do

IN photoshop 10 when I export an album to a dvd, I can't op@en it on my computer with windows 7. Help

The ! means that iPhoto cannot find the master or original file.
Assuming that these same photos behave correctly in the main library then it suggests the burn has gone wrong somewhere.
As a matter of interest... why are you burning libraries to DVD? If it's a form of back up then it's a dead end. Your next version of iPhoto won't be able termed or work with them, and your next Mac won't have an optical drive.

IPhoto how to send album by email

i have a mac pro with osx 10.7.5 ,was wondering if i could send a wedding album I made on iPhoto algong with music for slide show by email??

You export the slideshow from iPhoto (file -> Export), that makes a movie of it.
Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.

Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.
