IPhoto 6 losing thumbnails and ability to edit images
Upgraded to iPhoto 6 yesterday with no glitches. Library looked fine. Now, I have a bunch of photos in the library that show up as blank frames in the organizer view. These images still exist in the library, but the thumbnails are gone and they cannot be edited.
I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail databases, etc., (included running all 4 rebuild options accessible via the Cmd-Opt-Shift startup mode). Disk permissions are up to stuff too.
The original images, and the thumbnails, are all fine-- i.e. they can be viewed in spotlight or in other applications.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Alan
I found this solution from Mac OS X Hints. It worked for me as I had done the same as the author of this solution.
This problem has taken me almost a week to solve, so I thought your readers may benefit from my experiences. Nobody had posted about it on Apple's forums, so I got no help there. At the end of the the day, I may have broken a golden rule and tampered with the /System/Library folder (which seems to have caused the problem), but this workaround had not given a problem prior to iPhoto 5.04.
The problem was that on importing a folder of photos, the thumbnails were all black. I had also had my privileges corrupted on my user folder by a bad installer, and could not empty trash, or create new folders, etc. I fixed the privileges, but still had the same problem with iPhoto. All the usual fixes didn't work -- logout/login ; rebooting ; created a new user; trashed preferences file; rebuilt iPhoto library (this actually turned all the good thumbnails black as well!). I even moved the iPhoto library folder to allow iPhoto to create a new blank library, and that didn't work. Nor did trashing iPhoto and reinstalling an earlier version
The only course of action left was to re-install the full system. I backed stuff up, and did an erase and install. Over the next few days, I then brought everthing up-to-date, checking iPhoto operation at each stage. I wasn't sure if QuickTime7 may have been cause, so I only installed QT 6.5.2. Finally, all up-to-date and running OK again, and then ... it did it again! What caused it?
At some point in getting back up-to-date, I had re-applied my previous workaround to fix a bug whereby iPhoto changed the embedded colour profile from sRGB to Generic RGB when editing a photo. I did this by modifying some files in the /System -> Library -> ColorSync -> Profiles folder. I discovered that changing any colour profiles there results in the default permissions being changed on said files. However, resetting the permissions did not fix it directly. To fix it, I had to copy this folder off my daughters' Mac, then fix the permissions again. Finally, it was fixed!
The moral of the story? Don't touch any colour profiles in your system library!

IPhoto shows original as thumbnail and in non-edit mode
Hey guys,
my problem started when my MacBook Pro turned of
when iPhoto '11 was open
without going into safety mode (battery needs replacement; haven't planned on it since it is only 3 years old and 550 cycles)
then no thumbnails were displayed at all, so I started the rebuilding. But that did not work out at all.
my problem is that if I use iPhoto:
Thumbnails displays the original photo not the edited one
If I look at the Photo in fullscreen (double-click the photo) it shows the original
If i go into edit mode (pressing ENTER) the "real" photo shows up,
and i can go back an it is the original again
i can edit it, undo it and then the thumbnail and fullscreen photo is ok
RAW photos just show up in edit mode, else it is blackscreen with a "/!\"
Please help me, since iPhoto is totally unusable to me now and I'm sad
Thank you for your help!
//AlkoholfreiOption 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

IPhoto 11 - thumbnails and photos
I recently purchased the MacBook Retina Pro, and have successfully imported my iPhotos from my old MacBook (circa 2008) to the iPhoto 11, v. 9.5.
However, a few photos in some of my most recent events show up only as thumbnails. When I look at the photo info, they show up as sized less than 1MB, although all my other photos are 2+ MB. I have rebuilt the Library in the iPhoto Library Manager, and while the photos show up as normal size in the Manager, they still do not show up as full-size photos in iPhoto.
I am now in Day 6 of trying to figure this out, and feeling more than a little frustrated, primarily because everything else has come through okay, except for a handful of thumbnails, which stubbornly refuse to become real photos.
I have even tried copying them manually into iPhoto, from a USB stick, but that didn't work either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.Where is your Library stored?

Losing width and height information of Image???
Hi,
I am losing the width and height information between converting an image to byte[] and then back to Image
public void testImageToBufferAndBack(Image takenImage){
BufferedImage bufimage = this.ImageToBufferedImage(takenImage);
System.out.println("buffimage"+bufimage.getWidth()+" "+bufimage.getHeight(null)); //works fine
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
ImageIO.write(bufimage, "jpeg", stream);
catch (IOException ex) {
byte[] bytes = stream.toByteArray();
byte[] pictureBytes = bytes;
Image testImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(pictureBytes);;
System.out.println("tttttttteeeeeeeessssssttt "+testImage.getWidth(null)+" "+testImage.getHeight(null));
Output:
buffimage320 240
tttttttteeeeeeeessssssttt -1 -1
Could someone point me out my mistake please??Your mistake is not realizing that java.awt.Image loads images asynchronously. When Toolkit's
createImage method returns an Image, that image contains no pixel data -- as you've seen above, it doesn't
even know the size of the image! I knew this was the behaviour of the createImage method that took a URL,
but was surprised here that this is also the case with the version that takes a byte[], but undoubtably, that is
what is happening here. The way to fix this is always the same: use a MediaTracker, as my demo below
illustrates.
A couple points:
1. If you render your image in a custom component like this it will eventually appear:
g.drawImage(image, x, y, this); //for exampleThat's because Component's default behaviour as an ImageObserver (the reason for the final this)
is to continually repaint as more pixel data becomes available. This is not always the best solution -- what
if you need to know the image's dimension sooner rather than later?
2. ImageIcon can load an image for you, by using a MediaTracker behind the scenes:
Image image = ...
new ImageIcon(image);
//now image is loaded...Just be aware that if you use its constructors that don't take Image, but for example URLs
URL url = ...
Image image = new ImageIcon(url).getImage();Behind the scenes it's first getting the Image with Toolkit's getImage (not createImage). Toolkit's
getImage caches the image, which may not be what you want if you are processing many images --
why have the image loiter in memory if there is no advantage to that?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

displayDimensions("original buffered image", original);
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(original, "jpeg", out);
byte[] bytes = out.toByteArray();
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(bytes);
displayDimensions("created image", image);
loadImage(image, new Label()); //any component will do
displayDimensions("loaded image", image);
System.exit(0);

Some missing thumbnails and can't edit names in iPhoto 08
Hi there,
I have a problem with some images in iPhoto. Had a crash a while ago and had to re-install everything from a back-up and I thought I could just drag a few recent events from back-up into the iPhoto folder structure on the hard disc (stupid I now realise after checking these discussions). The only problem is that the thumbnail image for the event is blank, and the thumbnail images inside the event are all blank too, though when double clicking them they open the right images.
Can I recover the thumbnails without re-importing them properly? (I have lots of slideshows etc set-up on this large (90GB) library) btw. Saw a post about dragging the few events from the 'Originals' folder back into iPhoto, would this be an option?
Also, I can't edit the event names - you can type but nothing happens after that.
(iPhoto08 - Version 7, Running on a PowerMac G5 1.8, pretty much as a music server, with storage for iPhoto, 10.4.11).
Many thanks
RichardJust sorted the font issue by re-installing HelveticaNeue.db.
Just the main issue to sort - thanks in advance.

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. GlenysThis 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.

Edit images in Adobe Photoshop Elements
I am helping a student who is running iPhoto on Maverick. He wants to edit his images in Photoshop Elements. We set his preferences to do this but when he selects an image and clicks on Edit, all he gets is the welcome page of Photoshop Elements. The image doesn't open in Elements. What could we be doing wrong?
Mary LouPrevious versions would install a folder with the file you want, Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app, buried one layer down in another folder named Support Files. That's the one you want to select from iPhoto.
I don't know if the layout of the installed files is the same with the newest version. However, the following may be of help:

When double-clicking on the thumbnail image of an iPhoto album, the full size image will often spontaneously zoom to only display the bottom left quarter of the entire photo when it displays in full size. I can easily work around this by clicking on the right arrow to go to the next full size image (which will display properly) and then click on the left arrow to go back to the initial affected image (which will also then display properly). It does not do this when full-sizing all images from their thumbnails - probably less than 10% of the time; but still often enough to be a pian. I cannot find anything in the preferences which would appear to cause or correct it.
It is a recent problem. I have been using iPhoto extensively for many years without any problems. I cannot recall for sure, but it may have started after my update to version 9.4.2.
Using an iMac with plenty of RAM, latest version of iPhoto 11 and Mountain Lion version 10.8.2.What is the format of the PS photos and are there any alpha channels in them? You might try to re-edit them with PS, making some insignificant change and then saving. See if the new edit will display properly. Are you saving as jpgs with the Baseline format?

Saving edited image back to photoshop from lightroom
In Lightroom 4 and Photoshop cs5 I could export to Photoshop from lightroom...edit....then save and the edited photo would go back to Lightroom complete with edits. Now in LR5 and CC the edited image does not go back to LR I have tried syncing no avail...any idea?
I just recently started trying to use my Photoshop CS3, after acquiring it 3 years ago, and never quite getting around to tackling it, since I was still using good old PS v.7.0. I finally made the leap. What a shock! The CreativeSuites version is entirely different from the old versions, and, so far, impossible for me to figure out. Most of the functions I was used to are drastically reconfigured from standard PS's. (I'm going to have to get a Users' Manual or take another class.)
One thing I DID figure out is the function you are questioning. Export a downloaded iPhoto shot - from your iPhoto - to the desktop; Open Photoshop and open the iPhoto shot (will be in the Preview mode) in Photoshop, save as a Photoshop tiff, and do whatever editing, retouching, etc. in Photoshop. Save, and then from iPhoto, import - fom desktop - back into iPhoto Library.
If anyone know where i can get a comprehensive (beginners") manual on how to use the CreativeSuite version of Photoshop, please communicate! (After 3 years, I can't locate any manual that may have come with the software and there is no PDF version that I can find on line. I am completely mystified.) -
The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with the photo files?
What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

Can I use iPhoto to view and edit images not stored in the iPhoto Library
Hi folks,
I'm a newbie to Mac after 20+ years on PC...just switched 2 weeks ago....wish I'd done it years ago. Everythings so easy and fast...e.g. setup wireless broadband in 25 mins with no probs....and I have never done anything like that.
Here's my Q.
I have a load of images, downloads and scans, of old manuscripts, authors etc. which I don't really want in my iPhoto library (which I would like to keep for actual photos. Is it possible to point iPhoto to another location (say in Documents) where it will let me view and edit these images without importing them into the library.
Alternatively can I view images as thumbnails in this other locations, and not as default file type icons.
Hope this is plain,
JP_MAC
Imac G5 17" 1.9Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3)Hi jp-mac,
iPhoto 5 imports all images into it's own database. (this has changed with iPhoto 6 so you might want to check out iLife 6)
The other files you want to view but not have in the library...are they image files?
If so, you can view that folder as icons and then make the icons larger so you can see what they are.
To do this open the folder in question. click the first icon on top of View in the toolbar. This will make that folder contents view as icons
Now go all the way to the top of your screen and click on View>show view options.
Slide the icon size slider all the way to the right to view them larger. Also make sure you have the "show icon preview" checked.
This will work most of the time, but sometimes if you edit images in other applications they might not make icon previews, so check their preferences to make sure you have that checked.
There is also a little third party program that will do it for you.
One is called Pic2Icon
Pic2Icon
Another one is a contextual menu item called QuickImageCM.

check out that page because there are some other useful contextual menu items that I use all the time. -
I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide. -
My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
Are they there? -
