IPhoto 08 - What happened to the "Brightness" slider in "adjust" ???

Has anyone noticed? When going into "edit" and then "adjust", the window is missing the "Brightness" adjustment. Am I missing something here??

I have to disagree with you. I think it's a big step forward. It's more like editing RAW files where you can adjust just the shadows and not the entire photo. To get the same effect as the old Brightness control just drag both the highlight and shadow controls the same amount.
The shadow control lets the user brighten backlight photos without burning out the already too bright background. And it's quick. Here's a test between V7 and V6. Best advance in iPhoto yet.
One of the best improvements in iPhoto yet.
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.

  • When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder?

    When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder? I am new to Mac. I've updated the operating system and iPhoto.

    If your iPhoto Advanced preference pane is setup like this
    all photos you import into the library are COPIED into the library.  Thus those photos in the folders outside of iPhoto are redundant and can be deleted to save space on your hard drive. There no need to keep those copies in the folders.
    If you do have your advance preferences set as shown above you can access your photos for use outside of iPhoto according to the following User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto):  How to Access Files in iPhoto.  Otherwise you access your photos from within iPhoto.

  • What happened to the Contrast tool?

    Can someone tell me what the contrast tool is doing? Maybe I'm ignorant of how it's supposed to work in iPhoto, but it doesn't look like it's doing anything with the contrast when I use the slider. Increasing the contrast in iPhoto 08 looks to me as if it's doing nothing but desaturating the photo, and draining it's color. I know it doesn't work the way I'm used to it in iPhoto 06, Aperture, or even Lightroom, and I've corrected photos in those programs that were seriously lacking in contrast by simply sliding the contrast slider to the right to increase contrast.
    I never use the brightness tool in any program because using the exposure tool works so much better, and the hightlight and shadow tools work well for bringing out detail in burned out and shadowed areas, but what in the world is this contrast tool doing in iPhoto 08?
    Thanks
    Joshua

    Thank you for your explanation. I agree, the brightness slider was never very effective at restoring detail from a dark or underexposed photo. I do hope that Apple will "fix" the contrast slider because although the histogram may be saying that the contrast is improving, the photo itself shows absolutely no improvement in contrast.
    In all the editing programs I've used, I've never seen a contrast slider remove color and saturation from a photo when it should be increasing contrast. It almost seems like the slider is working backwards. It seems to work about the opposite of how contrast controls worked iPhoto 06.
    I recall editing a wedding shoot a few weeks ago in Aperture and I ran across a few photos that I thought were so lacking in contrast that they were beyond hope. To my surprise, dragging the contrast slider a little to the right restored these photos almost perfectly. The contrast slider worked perfectly and thats how it used to work in iPhoto 06.
    As it stands right now the contrast tool in iPhoto 08 is completely useless for improving contrast.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened?

    This is very upsetting.  ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened, and how can I get them back?

    Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
    Try rebuilding the library.

  • What happened to the thumbnail photo in an event?  Previously all I had to do was to drag the thumbnail photo to a folder, now I need to drag each individual photo to that folder.  If that means a few or several, it's a hassle. Any help for this one?

    What happened to the thumbnail photos for an event?  Previously when I wanted to transfer an event to a specific folder all I needed to do was drag the thumbnail.  If there were multiple events, I only needed to pick the one I wanted and drag it.  Simple and it worked very well.  If there was an event with several, I only neede to drag the one thumbnail and it was done.  Now I need to drag each individual photo to the new folder.  Sometimes that could mean 10, 20 or more. Doing one at a time is can be a very slow process.  If there are events that need to be split, it can be even slower.  Any positive ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
    what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
    The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
    Exactly what you you trying to do?

    If I merge libraries and then back the merged libraries up onto an external drive or DVD, do I just back up the libraries themselves, or do I also back up the original files?
    If you're running a Managed Library, then backing up the Library also backs up the original files.
    I ask because my HDD is getting pretty full. I want to reduce the amount of stuff on it, and the iPhoto libraries are the biggest single consumer of space at the moment (Nearly 100GB).
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Regards
    TD
    P.s. If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

  • What happened to the ipad photo viewer in lock screen?

    What happened to the ipad photo viewer in lock screen? I updated to iOS 7.0 and nolonger have the slide show and music while in lock sreen. This was the most used feature of my iPad since I put it in a dock on my desk. Is there another way to do that.

    I 100% agree with ski-doug!!!
    I use iPad 50% of the time  to play music and display photos for my customers!!!
    I also have seen many a business display picture slideshows to their incoming customers without granting access to the device!
    I realize many will save personal pictures to their iPads and thus they will not want easy acces to them, and they could block this feature in previous iOS.
    Please, please, please Apple, DO NOT generalize and figure we are all the same!
    Please reuturn this feature!
    Sincerely...
    Monteh!
    PS  It would be awesome if it could display all My Pics instead of just an album!

    Did you do the moving of the image file in the Finder or do you have a reference library as asked by Larry? In either case moving the files is a recipe for disaster as you've found out. You must either move the files back to their original locations or try to get those photos back into iPhoto as follows:
    1 - Find the folder you moved the files into and COPY it to the Desktop.
    2 - in iPhoto delete the photos that you're having the problems with as you normally would even though you can't see see them. Also delete all the photos that are in the folder you moved the other files into.
    3 - drag the folder on the Desktop into iPhoto to import them as one event. If you get a duplicate warning I'd let it import the duplicate and use Duplicate Annihilator to find them so you can cull out the duplicate you don't want.
    Other than that you might have to start over from scratch as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1 - Move the existing library folder to the desktop
    2 - Open the library package like this.
    3 - Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4 - Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.

  • What happened to the add to home page option for web pages. Can't find it.

    What happened to the add to home page option for web pages. Can't find it.

    Try stopping Safari followed by resetting your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Safari at the bottom (swiping if necessary), tap and hold until it wiggles, tap the minus sign.  Now reset: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appers first), then release.  If it still is missing you may need to restore your phone, which will put a fresh copy of the iOS on your phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).

  • HT4095 What happens if the genre box goes missing on the top left corner on your iPad? How do I get it back?

    What happens if the genre box goes missing on the top left corner on your iPad?How do I get it back please help me.

    Try quitting iTunes and restart your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also try a reset if quitting the app doesn't work.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • What happens to the open item in bsid table when it is cleared

    hi experts,
                   i have a doubt about open and cleared items of accounting documents. as we know open items of customers are stored in bsid and cleared ones in bsad. For suupose, an open item is closed ina particular period then what happened to the entry in bsid and bsad table. an entry regarding is stored in bsad (cleared),and what happens to the entry in bsid, still it will be there or removed from it.

    Hi,
    When ever we clear the document(Complete payment) that document will be moved to BSAD table. Other wise it will remain in BSID.
    If u are making partial payment then all the partial payment documents along with original document will be stored in BSID till u made the complete payment for that invoice.
    Assumption is u have to give all partial payment documents made for particular invoice item while u are making complete payment in F-28 transaction. So that these partail payment documents will also be cleared while making complete payment and moved to BSAD table.
    This trasaction can be used for both partial and complete payments.
    Irrespective of complete or partial payments made all the documents will remain stored in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    BSID and BSAD are index tables to address performance issues with BKPF and BSEG tables.
    So all open and cleared documents will be there in BKPF and BSEG tables.
    All cleared documents will be there in BSAD table.
    Alll open documents will be there in BSID table.
    Hope it is clear.
    Thanks,
    Vinod.

    If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.

  • Just upgraded to 5 from 3 - what happened to the page select icon? Can't find it in customize toolbars.

    Used to be you could select which page you wished to go back or forward to from the arrow icons on the navigation toolbar. The history menu item only shows 10 sites without having to open history for today. What happened? Is there another icon or a new plug in for this functionality? I used it all the time.

    ''what happened to the page select icon (Back/Forward)''
    The back/forward buttons have been moved to right-hand side of the navigation bar and the drop-down was removed. User right-click or hold click for one second to see the tab history. This is item #5 in my list.
    The History menu also has "Open Previous session" and "Open closed windows",
    to see more history use the History sidebar ("Ctrl+H") or the History Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+H") and sort or view by "Last visited".
