Iphoto 09 not properly exporting edited photos

When I use the "adjust" function in the edit screen the changes I make are neither applied in the enlarged version of the photo in Iphoto nor when I try to export the photo to the desktop. Other changes I make in edit, such as using the "effect" function, do save however. What can I do to save the changes made using "adjust" to have them apply to the exported photo?

What version of iPhoto?
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

    Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
    Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11.  Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
    images directly from iPhoto.    Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
    in iPhoto 11.  Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank. 
    And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
    From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6  to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
    When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
    Please advise. Glenys

    This may be of help to you:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Indesign not properly exporting overlapsing shapes

    Hello,
    I am making a publication in CS4. In some of my masters i've used shapes that overlaps other shapes [coloured plains]. While I am exporting the booklet the left pages are not properly exporting [shapes in the back are in the front.] while the uneven [right] pages are seemingly fine.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Peter

    Do these shapes that don't work correctly cross the spine?
    Are you patched to 6.0.5 or higher?

  • Hi, I'm trying to exported edited photos to an external hard drive... when i try to add the hard drive through lightroom it says selected device is not writable.... well i manage to write on it with everything else in the world! please help.

    I can export the photos to the desk top but when i then select the folder and drag to drop on the hard drive it does not give me the option. If i go to copy folders out of the hard drive to the desktop i can do so no problem (its not a problem with the hard drive to my knowledge).
    Please help its driving me away from both lightroom which i really like and from Macs in general!!!!

    I found that it was due to the format of the drive, NTFS not being compatible with Mac. I am not converting the drive to a FAT format.

  • IPhoto 6.0.1: editing photos

    I have just installed iPhoto 6 and upgraded to 6.0.1.
    I am unable to edit photos with this product. Can anyone say why?
    I have installed and re-installed; adjusted privileges on my iPhoto libraries; repaired permissions; tried to rebuild the data base and generally followed the lines of advice offered in these pages.
    This product does not seem to work as advertised - at least in my hands.
    Any clues?

  • Export edited photos from iPad

    I have edited photos on my iPad with the Photo app included with iOS. How can I export those edited photos to iPhoto (or Aperture)? I only seem able to export the originals.

    On windows you need to use adobe lightroom or adobe photoshop elements. Look at this URL http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4253

  • Export edited photos...

    my photos that I've edited/enhanced in iphoto look absolutely great on my MBP
    I want to share these photos via Picasa Web... so I normally export to a folder on my desktop, then upload....
    All of that works fine, but none of my editing / enhancement is evident in the export and attempt to share -
    Very disappointing....how can I get this to work to show the final result to those I want to share with??
    thanks

    so........you're saying that the exporting of edited photos should hold their editing and upload as such......correct?
    and what happens with this "rebuilt" library...... will everything appear the same in iPhoto'11 after that's done?
    thanks.

  • IPhoto not displaying all imported photos

    Hi!
    I am having trouble viewing all of my photos in iPhoto. They are all in my iCloud, and they appear in that photo stream. However, after I have imported *ALL* of my photos from my iPhone, iPhoto is only displaying some of them. It seems like there is an algorithm that is picking only one photo to display from a series of similar photos, (note: I am not talking about burst photos). I do a lot of shooting with my iPhone for my business, and I hate that I'm not able to access all of them in iPhoto. I also want to make sure that I am actually getting them all archived on my computer before I delete them from my phone. I have used the "Rebuild Thumbnail" function that you can access by holding down command and control when starting iPhoto. This seemed to help some, but it certainly did not restore all of the thumbnails.
    I'm running a mid-2011 Macbook Air with OSX 10.10.2 and iPhoto 9.6. My iPhone is up to date also with iOS 8.1.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for replying Larry. I am importing via direct USB connection and importing through iPhoto app, not just syncing with iTunes. My photo library is located on my Time Capsule. But I had this problem before I relocated the library to the time capsule actually.

  • Iphoto not displaying front cover photos in my book project

    After installing iphoto 11 the front cover page in my book project will not display the photos or the text, how ever the text will display if clicked on and then only 1 line at a time.  The photos on the  other hand will not.  When the photo boxes are clicked on, the border will highlight and the photo in the thumbnail list will be outline and the word "COVER" will appear when the curser is over the photo.  The back cover is fine.
    When the book is previewed the front cover is blank just as it appears in the working process.
    Is there a fix for this?  If the book is ordered will the photos magically in the hard copy?
    Bob

    Be sure to preview the book as described in this Apple document before ordering: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. If the PDF file is has no errors continue and order. Save the PDF file that is created for comparing to the printed copy when it arrives.

  • Why have my 20,000 photographs from iPhoto not been transferred to photos in your recent iOS upgrade

    why do you make life difficult when you issue upgrades . Surely you should check that they do what you say they will do!!
    IiPhoto becomes photo , easy peasy you say photos from iPhoto library will automatically transfer across to photos .
    bit of a let down when you find that out of 20,000+ photographs NOT ONE was transferred from iPhoto library . I take it that I have got to sit in front of my screen and transfer one by one , because to my horror tried to update from my Time Machine back up it does not transfer album data across at all . Heart felt thanks for that guys !
    ALso so some of the shots won't transfer because metadata is compromised .
    CAn I revert to Iphoto and get rid of photo ?

    bit of a let down when you find that out of 20,000+ photographs NOT ONE was transferred from iPhoto library
    You have to open your iPhoto library with Photos to convert it to the Photos format.  Launch Photos with the Option key held down and check to see how many libraries are presented in the window.  If there is a Photos library open it to  see if there's any photos.  If not then you haven't opened the iPhoto Library with Photos to convert it. So launch Photos again with the Option key held down, select the iPhoto Library and let it  convert.
    Also, the iPhoto application is still in the Applications folder.  It was just replaced in the Dock with Photos. If you were using iPhoto 9.6.1 before upgrading to 10.10.3 you can still use it with your iPhoto Library.

  • Iphoto Not keeping my imported photos

    When I import photos into iphoto from the SD card, once I exit/quit the application and reopen it. The photos are ANYWHERE in Iphoto, not even in the trash can, or in last import, last 12 months. I can't find them anywhere in Iphoto, they are been moved to the hard drive/in the documents area. I don't know how this is happening, I don't know what to do. It's never done this before. Please help! Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A +Managed library+, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    A +Referenced Library+ is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • IPhoto not responding importing some photos

    Hello,
    I have a macbook pro 13. This is my first mac. I was trying to import all my photo library to iPhoto (all the images folders in windows), but it's becoming impossible. Everytime I try to import my photos, iPhoto freezes in a particular photo and I can do nothing, I must force exit and restart the program. Then the program tries to re-import the photos but everytime happens the same. Besides, everytime it generates a new iphotolibraryrecovered folder.
    My first thought was that importing a huge quantity of photos could be the problem, but it's not. Today I tried to import about 500 photos from a folder and everytime it freezes on the same photo. A solution could be deleting this photo or not importing it, but it's not a good solution, because in this folder this is the only photo with a problem, but when I try to import my 10000 photos, there are a lot of photos with this problem.
    I'm using the last version of iPhoto.
    Is there any solution to this problem? I'm I the only one who have this problem?
    A lot of thanks and sorry for my poor english

    Then the program tries to re-import the photos but everytime happens the same. Besides, everytime it generates a new iphotolibraryrecovered folder.
    Quit iPhoto and go to your pictures folder (the default location) and right click (control Click) on the iPhoto library and select show package contents - find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - do not move or change anything else
    Look in the import(ing) folder on the desktop and if there are any photos in it that still need to be imported do so and then trash the folder form the desktop
    Everytime I try to import my photos, iPhoto freezes in a particular photo and I can do nothing, I must force exit and restart the program.
    Is there anything special (or different) about this photo?

  • IPhoto is destructive when editing photos

    Hi,
    I recently discovered that when you use the editing tools with iPhoto and export / share them, they are destructively shrinked to 3MP (2048x1536).
    I don't see this documented anywhere. It's a HUGE problem not telling the users that all the pictures are destroyed.
    I just tested with a full size picture from iPhone 4S 8MP.
    1. Take picture on iPhone 4S
    2. Sync between devices via photostream @ full resolution on the PC and "optimized size" on the iPad.
    3. Open and Edit on the iPad
    4. Save and Share
    Boom, now the picture is 3MP instead of 8MP in the photostream.
    I would expect iPhoto to get the full resolution photo and edit it, instead of shrinking it.
    I can understand that the pictures showed on the iPad are optimized for performance reason, but not that the iPhoto App save the optimized one instead of the full resolution one just like Apps like Camera+ and I think all other serious Apps.
    This is totally wrong. I know discovered that I lost original pictures because of this *undocumented & not user friendly* behavior by deleting "duplicate" (original) pictures...
    Not the first time that I can't trust Apple stuff. Last time, iCloud syncing with Keynote on iOS destroyed all my presentations but the opened one. I lost everything...

    But the problem rely in the photo stream. Because when you save the modifier picture in the camera roll, it's still shrinked. Even with photoforge2, you can't get the full resolution version from the photostream.
    The Photo stream is documented here:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    See the paragraph:
    What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
    On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 50 pixels wide.
    So you can't get full resolution using Photo Stream to send photos to an IOS device, but from an IOS device to a computer the resolution stays the same.
    It is editing in iPhoto that creates smaller versions, but the originals are not destroyed. You can send your originals back - full resolution - by sharing them to iTunes.
