IPhoto '08 - Saturation Slider Messed Up

The Saturation adjustment feature in iPhoto '08 seems to be seriously messed up. It's ok if you go left of the default value, removing saturation. But if you increase the saturation to the right, beyond the default value, it darkens the photo! And it darkens it without either the Exposure or Contrast slider moving at all, providing no feedback as to what has really been adjusted. This goes totally against the concept of saturation in Photoshop as well as Apple's Preview.
So, is this a bug? Seems like it to me.

Here's the same test on one of my photos . iPhoto's effect (at max) saturates the colors to a limit, yes darkening the photo a bit, but the colors are true, just richer. The Preview max saturation exaggerates the colors producing a strange photo. Doing the same in Photoshop is like Preview only much more exaggeration.
If you increase the exposure a bit the picture will lighten up with the colors still more saturated than the original.
If you're trying to get that exaggerated look then you might want to try GraphicConverter or one of the other image editors to use as a 3rd party editor with iPhoto.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto 08 Saturation Slider Flawed!

Hi,
Has anyone else noticed that the Saturation slider in iPhoto '08 makes absolutely no sense? It doesn't behave like a Saturation slider. In both Apple's Preview and Aperture, the Saturation slider works exactly like it should, just like Photoshop. The Saturation slider ONLY adjusts the Saturation. In iPhoto '08 however, as soon as you increase the Saturation above the middle point, your photo starts getting DARKER. This would be kind of acceptable if some of the other Adjustment sliders started moving too, such as the Levels or Exposure sliders. But they don't.
Why have Apple done this? Why make a Saturation slider that ISN'T a Saturation slider? If they'd called it something else, it wouldn't be so bad. But Saturation is Saturation. They obviously know how to make Saturation sliders because they've got it right in both Preview and Aperture, but totally messed it up in iPhoto '08.

While you observation is correct, I believe that this is how the tool is designed to work and, in my opinion, gives much more naturally looking results than the saturation controls in Photoshop.
Try to increase the saturation to the maximum in iPhoto and then do the same in Photoshop. In iPhoto this will result in an image that’s punchier but still retains the original hues to a large degree. In Photoshop however you will end up with totally oversaturated/shifted colour hues that look cartoonish, a very blunt method.
iPhoto’s approach is way smarter, preventing you from distorting the colours and also note, that it preserves whites just as they were before.
If you don’t like the general darkening, simply drag the Levels’ mid-slider to the left to compensate for it.

CS4: Black-and-White adjustment layer - no Saturation slider?

Hi. The modal dialogue for Black and White has the "Colorize" option and for that "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders.
But Black and White as an adjustment layer in the adjustments palette does NOT offer the Saturation slider. At least not in my CS4 Extended on Win XP. There is the targeted adjustment tool (TAT), but it changes color, not saturation.
Can that be or am i missing something?
Thanks!

The interesting thing is that there is an colorization saturation adjustment slider in the imag-adjustment-black and white dialog as shown below.
The lack of that slider in the adjustment panel is a bug in CS4. It was present in CS3.
Adobe should fix that because it is really usefull because it's non-destructive and can be set as a preference.
The cumbersome workaround is to add a hue saturation adjustment layer.

IPhoto 6.0 slide shows looks very distorted

I have a new 19'' widescreen TFT monitor on my mini mac and now my iPhoto 6.0 slide shows looks very distorted.
This widescreen TFT have a 16:9 aspect ratio (1440x900 pixel).
I found no setting in iPhoto for the screen with an 16:9 aspect ratio. There are only format settings for 16:10, iDVD or act monitor. But no one works fine!
Is there any possibility that I can show my "slide shows" in the correct format? (Also with black bars)
Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

I am experiencing a very similar problem. Michael, have you solved your issue yet?
With my setup (PowerMac Dual G4 533 MHz with an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics card, and Gateway FPD2185W monitor, native display resolution 1680 x 1050), iPhoto slideshows show pictures off center (taking up the right 2/3 of the display and leaving the left blank). The entire picture is also not visible. I'm sure it is switching resolutions when doing the slideshow since when I stop the show, some of my apps are in different positions on the display. I have tried switching stuff in the preferences, as well as trashing my old iPhoto prefs file. Nothing worked.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

IPhoto made a huge mess, how to clean up files on HD???

I have thousands of photos in iPhoto v6.0.6, and it has somehow made a huge frustrating mess of things. Some preliminary information:
• My preference is set to "Copy photos to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library."
• Under the main "Library" heading, I have five categories with the little yellow calendar icon: "Early Photos," "2007," "2008," "2009," "2010." I am under the impression that when adding/removing photos to an album, I am simply creating/removing links to the photos within these main categories. Therefore, I was assuming that if I delete the photos from these categories, they will disappear for good within the main Libraries as well as within individual Albums.
Earlier this evening I attempted to delete a bunch of photos which I don't want anymore... I want to get rid of these photos in iPhoto, but I would like to delete them from the hard drive as well. I went into each of the 5 categories under the main Library heading, and selected hundreds of photos to delete. After highlighting the photos I wanted to delete, I pressed Command-Delete on my keyboard (which, in the Photo menu, says it should move the photos to the trash). I assumed this meant it would move the physical files to the Finder's Trash. After deleting photos from the individual categories, I went into my Finder's Trash, and there was nothing there. So I noticed there is also a "Trash" section at the bottom of the left-hand pane within iPhoto (very confusing). All of my deleted photos were in there. So I selected them again, and pressed Command-Delete. All photos disappeared without a trace within iPhoto.
So far, so good.... My HUGE problem is that none of these photos were actually deleted from the hard drive!! I went into my home folder/Pictures/iPhoto Library/etc/etc/Camera Roll #x, and ALL of the photos I attempted to delete still reside on my hard drive as if they're still being managed by iPhoto!
I'll be honest... I have plenty of time to manually go through dozens of folders in the Finder and look for all of these photos a second time and delete them. However I'm simply not willing to waste time doing that when I thought I had already accomplished that task by selected "Move To Trash" from within iPhoto, and then emptying the trash. I'll just ditch iPhoto altogether if I can't fix this.
My questions: a) How can I get iPhoto to actually delete a photo when I tell it to (including thumbnails)? b) How can I clean up my hard drive automatically so that the only photos within the iPhoto Library folder (in the Finder) are those which still reside within iPhoto? c) How do I prevent this mess from happening again? d) If anyone from Apple is monitoring this forum, when will this major flaw in the user experience be fixed?

1 - it is a really good idea to post in the appropriate forum - you apparently posted an iPhoto 6 question in the iPhoto '09 forum - in this case the answer is the same for the questions you ask
a) How can I get iPhoto to actually delete a photo when I tell it to (including thumbnails)?
Select the photo(s) in roll view and drag to the iPhoto trash or press the delete key - empty the iPhoto trash from the iPhoto menu ==> empty trash - do this in batches of 100 or less photos
b) How can I clean up my hard drive automatically so that the only photos within the iPhoto Library folder (in the Finder) are those which still reside within iPhoto?
I'm not sure what happened and no longer have iPhoto 6 to test - one thing to try is backing up your library and rebuilding the library (depress the option and command keys and launch iPhoto)
c) How do I prevent this mess from happening again?
Delete as above in answer to a)
d) If anyone from Apple is monitoring this forum, when will this major flaw in the user experience be fixed?
SInce this is strictly a user to user forum and Apple specifically does not monitor nor answer here do not expect an answer from Apple
Also NEVER use the finder to make any changes to the contents or structure of the iPhoto library - doing so may corrupt your library and cause data loss

Iphoto 09, the slider for the thumbnail doesn't show full size image

The slider in the lower left that when to the left shows small thumbnails and when to the right, to the "head icon", shows the image enlarged to fill the window, is broken in iPhoto 09. When you slide all the way to the right or click the head icon, the biggest the images magnify to is thumbnails sized to four across and three high thumbnails (displaying 12 big thumbnails rather than one screen filling image). The only way to examine the image now in 09 is to go into edit mode, which still has the row of thumbnails across the top instead of a single large image.
This is really annoying and stupid and makes the program much less useful. Why would they change the program to make it impossible to see the images at full screen unless in edit mode? Any way to put it back to the 08 behavior?

It does seem a bit silly to retain the icon that implies a full sized viewing though.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
If a change is an improvement, I'm all for it. If it is an arbitrary and unnecessary change, it can just be irritating. Like changing the reload button in Safari from the upper left to a variable position somewhere in the upper middle part of the window, a change that improved nothing and probably was a bad idea; changing a constantly located icon to one that roams around depending on the window width.
Absolutely. Not sure what that has to do with iPhoto, though.
I can cope with changes that make things more efficient or improve quality.
Good to know.
I don't quite understand the defense of mindless changes that merely require the user to dig around and waste time figuring out what happened to seemingly missing standard features.
But who’s defending anything?
I don't think that the sheep who copes by blithely accepting being herded onto the slaughterhouse truck is necessarily exercising any signs of higher intelligence.
True. But what do you make of the one who goes ranting off about things based on incorrect information?
This change in the software is inconvenient and makes the program worse.
By way of explanation and not at all to defend: It’s a subtle thing, I know. But it does add a level of coherence to the OS. Quicklook in the Finder, for instance, does a similar thing with the same keystroke. Itunes starts playing a track on the same keystroke. So, I’m not sure where the failed analysis is.

IPhoto Library in a mess....how to organize?

Hi,
I have been putting this off for a couple of years, time to deal with the mess. I have the latest iPhoto 6.0.2, what I need to do is clean out all the doubles, triples and misfiled photos. I have "Modified" "Originals" and I believe they are misfiled. In my Source list I have 17.02GB on the disk, on the "Originals" file I have 8.06 and the "Modified" comes in at 7.71GB.

Does all this seem right? Is there a better, cleaner way to organize it all?
I wonder if simply deleating everything other than the originals might clean things up? Everyone has a pack-rat iPhoto problem, only limited my HD space. Deal with it later, later has come.
Thanks for the help, S.

ShakuZen:
It appears you're conversion to V6 possibly did not include all of the originals.
You're iPhoto library folder should look like this. Those year folders outside of the Originals, Modified and Data folders were left over from iPhoto 5. You can move them to the desktop and check to see if they contain any full sized image files. If so then you can assemble them in a new folder and import to get your library back to include all of your photos.
Duplicate Annihilator can cull out duplicates in an iPhoto 6 library (but not those in the carryover folders if there are duplicates in them).

Iphoto slideshow Turned slides when exported to iDVD

Some photos are turned after export to iDVD, how can that be? More importantly how to fix, the slide show looks fine in iPhoto. The image quality is another issue and I'll follow the iMovie thread because I have 353 slides using 19GB in iPhoto. Why are photos being turned?

James:
They are being turned because for some reason iDVD is taking the Original version instead of the rotated version in the Modified folder. These are portrait photos from a camera with auto-rotate capability. I suggest you try exporting the rotated version to a folder on the desktop, drop then into an open Safari window to make sure they are truly rotated and then import them and replace the problem versions.
This can be circumvented by uploading to a folder on the desktop first, previewing the photos in Preview of some other application and then rotating them with a 3rd party application. I use PhotoToolCM which is a Contextual Menu application that will losslessly rotate the photos.
You might try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. Next add some photos to iDVD and see if they are correct. You can also drag the thumbnails from iPhoto into the open iDVD slideshow window and try it that way.

IPhoto screen-saver Slide show, where is it?

I'm looking for pictures that show in the Screen saver slide show but not in iPhoto or Aperture folders.
They were there last week.
Hoping for help!

I had a quick scan of those comments, and most of those are from more than 18 months ago. The comments from this year are either: factually wrong ("very few slideshow designs" - it has 35 or thereabouts) or complaints about the Upgrade policy.
There is no substitute for downloading and trying it yourself.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

IPhoto books and slide shows vs. iMovie

I have put an iBook together and it looks great. To play it in a slide show with text and titles is wonderful. The problem is that I cheated. I fooled iBook into making double trucks (two page spreads) of some of my photos...Looks great in book form but plays as left page/right page in a slide show. Not good. I could just make a slide show from a folder...But then I get no text page or title page. If I make an iMovie of my images, they look soft (out of focus) and I am limited in the amount of text I can output. If there is a way to get print into the iPhoto slide show, I would be happy. Any ideas?

If you had iDVD on an older Applications DVD disc that came with an older Mac install that and then make sure you use Software Update before you try to start the program. You could also try doing software update now and see if any newer upgrades/updates are available.
I suspect what they transfered is an older version that will not run on the new OS X. Once updated/upgraded to a newer version it will work.
But then you may need to do a reinstall first.

IPhoto '08 libraries are messed up....

Yep, it's true. Here's what's happening. When I go into my Home Folder to Pictures and right click on the Pictures folder and Show Package Contents, all my albums are not there. I have 5, all I can access via iPhoto Library Manager and all open correctly. BUT if I click within the Pictures folder on a particular album, it's the same one that opens up each time- whatever one I opened up last in IPLM is the one that opens up when I go into the Pictures folder. That's issue #1. The other issue is the missing album. It's not listed in the Pictures folder. Once again I can access it via IPLM but not within the Pictures folder- the pictures appear in 2 different folders but they are not 'album' folders- they are regular blue folders. The blue folders are the Data and the Originals folders. That is problem #2. Something is messed up. I am using the latest version of iPhoto- 7.1 (347) and ran Repair Permissions after the update. I will appreciate any insight into this issue, Judy

I use iPLM to manage 12 libraries and do it by always launching iPLM first and then selecting the library I want. I leave iPLM in the Dock and use it instead of iPhoto. I find it cuts the time to change libraries by a large factor and the time to decide which library to open the first thing in the day. I never have to go to my Pictures folder.

Iphoto calendar is a mess, can we get a pro calendar in aperture?

I am making a calendar using the aperture library in iphoto and having lots of troubles.
When i have added the photos to their positions, i find that i need to edit some photos to fit their neighbours, and then having to close iphoto, open aperture and edit them, yet those changes fail to show up in the applied photos, so have to edit outside the project and replace the photos...
Also while working on this project my library is locked so i cannot open aperture without closing iphoto, even if i want to work on entirely different things, interrupting a normal day workflow.
When i reopen iphoto it has forgotten my position and just shows the full calendar again, forcing me to search again for the place the photo i have edited in aperture or to replace with another i have found that fits better.
The calendar templates are quite limited, on a few pages i wanted to place more photos or have other orientations which is possible when making a book, and the size of calendar is relatively small, could be good with a possibility of making professional calendars one step bigger.
Is there any way to tell apple that there are many who would need a proper calendar inside aperture, to be able to make professional products or who have migrated from iphoto being used to making calendars and cards and wanting to continue that in what should be a better program?
Even having the exact same calendar available in aperture would be huge benefit, and ensure many more being made!

That is what the command "Provide Aperture Feedback" in the Aperture Application menu is for: http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
How are you switching between Aperture and iPhoto? When I use the commands "File > Open Library in Aperture" and "File > open library in iPhoto" to switch back and forth between the application, the iPhoto will open with the calendar selected, when I switch back from Aperture, albeit not on the calendar page, that I last viewed.

IPhoto folders are all messed up and my pics arent showing up correctly..

I tampered with the iPhoto folders...I renamed files and moved things around thinking I was organizing things.. but now my photos in iPhoto arent working correctly. Some photos show a thumbnail but dont open.. and all I get is a gray screen with an exclamation mark. Other photos open but at very poor quality.. around 32KB instead of the 1.6 MB that they should be!
What can I do to fix this problem?
Also, my computer seems to have 5 copies of all my photos. One copy that is the original... another that is smaller and then more random copies. How can I get rid of those copies.. I've got like 2,000 of them! Ahhh..
Somebody please help! Any suggestions??

Hi Diana,
#1 Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
#2 It seems you moved photos around and some thumbnail photos from the Data folder were put in the originals folder (photos open at 32k) and the ones missing (renamed by you). This is how it is supposed to be in the Finder;
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
There is no way to recover from this except to start over with just the original files. This would entail creating a new library, going through the old library and finding all the full sized images and deleting the thumbnail images
#3 Here are the instructions for creating a new library. BUT remember that in your case it is not as simple as importing the Originals folder again as you moved photos around and in and out of the wrong folders. You are going to have to find all the originals and delete the smaller thumbnails of the same name (unless the originals were overwritten by the thumbnails when you moved photos around because an image has the same name in all the folders (Data, Original and Modified).
close iPhoto
-drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
-launch iPhoto and create a new library
-double click the iPhoto Library folder on the desktop to open it
-the two main folders you will need to import are the Original folder and the Modified folder (only if you want to import the edited images).
-the Originals folder has all your originals photos unedited. the Modified folder has all images that you have edited, rotated, cropped, etc.
-Drag these two folders to the desktop
-If you want to save the edited image, find it in the roll in the Modified folder and drag it into the roll of the same name in the Originals folder. It will replace the originals and now will be the original.
-If you don't care to save any edited images, then don't import the Modified folder into iPhoto or don't bother replacing the edited image with the original image like I just described.
-If you import the Originals folder into iPhoto you will have all your originals in their named rolls.
-If you import the Originals and Modified folders into iPhoto, you will have all of the being in the originals folder in the finder. The roll with the same name as the other will have a _1 appended to it's name (in the finder)
-the roll from the originals will be next to the same roll from the Modified folder within iPhoto. You can then delete any of the images from there if you want.
I know this might sound confusing but it really isn't.
Get back if any of this sounds like something you might want to do.

Iphoto save instant slide show

I created a book in iPhoto with a specific theme, titles, photos etc. The "instant slideshow" that I can play while selecting the book under "Projects" takes all the specifics from my book and puts them into a slideshow format that I would like to save. I am unable to find a way of doing this.
In reasearching online, I have found suggestions of selecting the book and then creating a new slideshow based on it. However, while that keeps the actual photos, it does not retain the theme, placement, titles etc. Since I have spent a good deal of time creating this book, I don't want to re-create it again just so I can have a slideshow/soft-copy version of it.
How can I save the instant slideshow that is based on my book?

It can be done but it's more than a one step process. First go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
Next go into the book and start a print process:
1 - go to the View All Pages mode in the book.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered and 200 for slideshows, etc.).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.
6 - immediately rename the images in order with the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text ➙ Page with Append checked. This will let you keep the pages in order if they get mixed up for any reason as their original titles are really weird and not in any order.
6 - select the images of the book and create a slideshow. You can set the theme and transition and add music to it if so desired. This demo page has such a book converted to an iWeb slideshow. It will give you an idea what the page images will look like: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow
Note: I use this method to create an iDVD slideshow of each book I create and give as a gift. This allows several viewers to view the book at one time on a TV set. iP05 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book

CP5 - Hidden slides mess up completion

This is more venting than a question.
After months of trying to figure out why the LMS reports "not completed' for most of our courseware, we seem to have pinned it down to hidden slides in the presentation. We repurpose our content several ways - the hidden slides are part of that.
But it turns out that hidden slides are included when the project is published as SCORM and imported into the LMS. And if your completion is 100%, the course can never be completed, because the user can never access the hidden slides.
Does this make sense, Adobe? What's the point of hiding slides if they are included anyway? I've wasted SO much time on this!
Going to go away and sulk now.

I have the same issue and am glad someone else is as frustrated with this as I am...
It is often necessary to use a hidden slide for various purposes...
Sometimes, I need to create one just to redirct mouse movements...
I dislike the fact that Captivate doesn't allow you to re-set the starting point for the mouse on a slide-by-slide basis...
