Iphoto adjustment

Hi,
When I attempt to use the sharpness adjustment in adjust it responds OK but I cannot save it, it reverts back to the original condition when I press done or attempt to save it any other way. Any ideas?
cheers....Trevor

  • IPhoto 9.5.1 not exporting edits

    I have used iPhoto for 4 yrs and purchased a new macbook over the holidays which runs Mavericks and iphoto 9.5.1.
    On my new system everything worked fine for a few days but now suddenly when I edit a photo then file/export the edits are not exporting, just the original file. I have tried exporting as 'current', 'jpeg', etc....nothing is working.
    Here is the kicker, it has randomly worked a couple times. I have yet to figure out what I am doing to trigger the edits to export. I have tried restarting iphoto, adjusting different edit items (crop + an adjustment as I saw in another thread), but I can't figure out the trigger.
    HELP, I am pulling out my hair trying to get simple work done!
    (note, I went back and also noticed edits are not saving in iphoto in general, if I go between photos in the event it reverts back to the original again)

    Still not working...still completely random. I have run through all the suggested solutions multiple times. 
    Sometimes I import/edit/export no problems. Sometimes import/edit, and it doesn't export edits the first time, but if I go back adjust again it saves the second time (with no change in my process). Sometimes I can't get the edits to export at all after playing with the photo multiple times, reimporting, etc.
    Even odder, sometimes the thumbnail in iPhoto adjust to the edits I have made and sometimes it doesn't. As in the thumbnail will change but it still won't export the edits. 
    I am trying to find a pattern so I can track the cause but seriously there is no consistancy. Most of the time I am just editing thumbnails for a video.
    Process goes as follows:
    -take a screenshot
    -file/import to the library
    -crop (and hit done)
    -go to file/export
    Pretty simple process. About 2 out of every 3 imports doesn't save the edits. Sometimes when I hit 'export' it says 'saving changes' before asking how I want to save, other times it doesn't. Whether it says 'saving changes' or not doesn't seem to effect if it actually saves the edits.
    Today I pulled a screen shot in and it took 3 imports and half a dozen edits and suddenly it exported the cropped version. I didn't change anything I was running in the background, I worked on the same screenshot, same process. Finally on the 6th crop it exported the edit.
    Off to find another program that is simple for these quick edits (I always used iphoto for simple crops and edits just because it was quick...ha!). If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know!

  • Importing in to iPhoto using file name date/time

    Hi
    +*I posted this originally in to iPhoto section but they suggest I submit here to see if anyone knows if there's an applescript. Thanks!*+
    I'm not too sure on how to exactly explain my problem but here goes...
    I have a mobile phone that does not save date/time taken data to the picture file when it takes photos. All of my previous phones/cameras have so this has never been a problem before. I Bluetooth photos and then add them to iPhoto '08.
    Problem is when they add they use the date/time added to create the event rather than the date/time taken. The picture filename displays date/time taken and I was wondering if there was a way to use the filename to have iPhoto adjust the metadata tag to the actual date/time taken? This would save me having to adjust time/date for each set of photos. The filename is for example P090308_12.00.jpg if taken on 09/03/08 at 12.00pm.
    I hope this is clear enough and that someone has some advice. Thanks for your help

  • Photos Display Incorrectly after iPhoto 9.1.2 Update

    Since the latest iPhoto Update (9.1.2) Photos have been displaying incorrectly on AppleTV in Events View. Instead of being organized in events like in iPhoto, the events are displayed with 2 photos in each, creating multiple events for each actual event. For instance, if a specific event in iPhoto has 1,500 photos, then on AppleTV, this event is displayed 750 separate times with 2 photos in each "event". That makes it impossible to fins anything specific, and is embarrassing when you are showing people your cool AppleTV.
    I have restored the AppleTV, rebuilt the Thumbnails and Caches in iPhoto, adjusted my Firewall, yet nothing has fixed the issue. Everything else displays correctly, Movies, TV Shows, Music, Pod Casts, just  not the Photos.
    Anyone else experiencing this, or find a fix?

    I found this other thread discussing this topic, no fix, I will revert to 9.1.1 from Time Machine and wait for a new update.

  • IPhoto import stacks vs master

    I just picked up Aperture and imported my iPhoto library. Most of the images that I imported (~2000) show up in Aperture as a single image with all of the iphoto adjustments intact and I can view the original by pressing "m". A few of them (~150) are showing up with the original image and the adjusted version (tagged with "iPhoto edited") in a stack.
    Does anyone know why these images are being stacked rather than displayed as a single image like the rest? Is there a way to merge the stacks to a single image (without deleting the edited versions and readjusting the original by hand)?
    Thanks
    -Chris

    Chris,
    Welcome to the user-supported Aperture discussion group.
    Most of the images that I imported (~2000) show up in Aperture as a single image with all of the iphoto adjustments intact and I can view the original by pressing "m". A few of them (~150) are showing up with the original image and the adjusted version (tagged with "iPhoto edited") in a stack.
    That is curious. I thought that all of the iPhoto adjusted photos would show up as a stacked pair when imported into Aperture. Is there maybe some set of iPhoto adjustments that Aperture decided it could make to your original, and then a different set that Aperture decided it couldn't make? I.e., if it couldn't make the same adjustment, it would have to import the original and the edited from iPhoto.
    If you check those ~150 photos, can you see if there is a common adjustment, and if that common adjustment is not made to the others?
    Is there a way to merge the stacks to a single image (without deleting the edited versions and readjusting the original by hand)?
    No. That seems to be a "private" function of Aperture. BTW, my previous comments notwithstanding, an Aperture adjustment *may not be exactly the same* as an iPhoto adjustment. You should experiment carefully with your idea if you decide to go that route.

  • Importing pics into iPhoto

    Hi,  How do I import photos to iPhoto and keep the file names that I have assigned?  The program keeps reverting to the original file name assigned by the cameras.

    Actually you are not getting it - I understand exactly
    1 - file names are meaningless to iPhoto and you can not see them nor change them in iphoto (you still have not comprehended this)
    2 - for the simple case which you seem to have with some cameras you very simply amke a smart album for each camera, select teh photos for that camera and use the iPhoto adjust time and date command to correct the entire set at once by a constant amount (the amount of the erorr in the camera's settings) - this does not require that you have nor that you own the camera (you still have not comprehended this)
    3 - you claim to want to "keep the chronological order" and the best and easiest way to do that is to have the corect time and date on each photos - which is trivially easy to do) (you still have not comprehended this)
    4 - no one suggested that you are exporting - we know that you are importing - the reference to exporting is only to try to explain to you how iPhoto works - you simply can not see or change file names in iPhoto - you can only change file names when you do an export - at no other time can you do anything with or about file names  (you still have not comprehended this)

  • HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing.  Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
    There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
    More things you can do:
    With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
    I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not.  You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing.  As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos.  I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special.  Any way - search around to find answers.

  • Movie clips have wrong time when importing

    I use to rename my images before importing to iPhoto. I copy them from my camera to a folder in the desktop, rename everything to my like using Adobe Bridge, and then I import them to iPhoto. That way the name of a file usually corresponds to the one in the internal Library (control-freak as I am). That said, I never mess with the Library.
    But I'm having this problem all the time: After importing, all the image pictures are listed on the event accordingly to their correct date/time, but the movie clips are not. They always have an irregular variation in time, sometimes with a difference of several hours, that I have to change manually using iPhoto "adjust date/time" to have them sorted ok chronologically. The strange thing is: that EXIF data is correct in Bridge! I even use this to view/reference the correct time in Bridge, and change it on the movie file already imported in iPhoto.
    Could this be a bug in iPhoto, or is there something wrong with my way of importing? Again, it happens only to the movie files, not the images.
    Thanks.

    Thank you. I didn't know that.
    But still, for me it's a common issue to have iPhoto reading a wrong "File Created" data on my imported movies, even though it seems to be OK on the original file. Does it ever happen to you, know about that issue? Sometimes I have ten or more movie clips in an event and it's a bit of a hassle to restore manually the correct time for each one.
    Maybe it's Bridge fault, maybe it's iPhoto, maybe my workaround is the only answer to this "bug"?
    Thanks again.

  • Key Photo

    It appears that EVERYTIME there is an iPhoto update, it messes up the key photos in Events and Albums. 
    After updating to the latest version (9.4.2) of iPhoto on my MacBook Pro, the key photos do not match with the key photos in the Photos app of my iPhone and iPad. I have tried:
    1. setting up "key photos" (right clicking in a picture and setting it as key photo) and sync iOS via iTunes - didn't change anything
    2. deselected all events and albums and sync devices; and then selected to sync all events and albums (having over five thousand pictures to sync does take its time - approximately over two hours and a half) - but still did not change the key photos
    3. in iPhoto, adjusted date and time of the photo I wanted to assign as key photo so that it would be the first photo in each event and album - still did not change the key photos in iOS devices
    Is there a way so that the key photos would be the same throughout all devices?

    Hi Tom,
    same problem.
    I've already tried to rebuild the iPhoto database but nothing has changed.
    I'm facing this issue with both iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.1.1) and iPad 2 (same iOS release) - iPhoto 9.4.2.
    Does anyone have a solution?  
    thanks,
    Andrea

  • Ordering prints... 4x5.3 or 4x6?

    I am planning on ordering photo prints through the iTunes software. However, my Nikon Coolpix camera takes photos in the 4x5.3 resolution, not the more standard 4x6. Will iPhoto adjust so that I get 4x5.3 prints, or will it end up having to crop pictures to fit 4x6?

    Joel:
    The photo will be expanded until the 5.3 side is 6" is size. That means the 4" side will be enlarged also, losing some of the top and bottom edges. To make sure you get what you want you should crop the photos to the 4x6 size before ordering. That way what you see is what you'll get.
    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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can't find movie files that are eating up my memory

    I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13 inch, Late 2012) and last week I kept getting notifications that my memory was almost full so I checked out "Storage" under "About this Mac" and it showed that about 120 GB were being taken up by movies. I removed all the videos from my Mac and removed all my files from iPhoto, adjusted search criteria in Finder for movies, and emptied the trash and restarted my computer several times. Now it shows that I have 113 GB of movies and I can't find out where these alleged files are. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Do I need to reformat my computer?

  • Faster access to adding titles?

    Good morning!
    I am finally taking the plunge and adding titles to the 3500 photos in my library. However, From what I can tell, there is absolutely no way to do it quickly. I am happy keying in what I would like to say for every photo, however with every photo I need to click the title button in order to change it.
    Does anyone know of a keyboard shortcut to bring focus to the Title text area, or perhaps a plugin or applescript solution which will step through an album and allow you to assign this information per photo? Batch rename is great, but it is pretty limiting as far as what one can actually do per photo. Again, I'm not interested in simply serializing each photo, but rather "Joe and Frankie play foozball".
    I've come up very short in my sleuthing thus far.
    I am using iPhoto 5.0.4 on OS X 10.4.2
    Thanks in advance!

    Agreed - the KING.
    Can you point to the specific MacWorld source? Monthly magazine (which month)? Online? I have a feeling there are many more cool unknown tips for using iPhoto. I just came across these two in recent issues of MacWorld magazine:
    Tip 1. When editing a photo, pressing the 'Control' key gives you a quick look at the original version of the photo. Release the 'Control' key and it's back to your edited version.
    Tip 2. Instead of fooling with the temperature & tint color controls in the 'Adjust' pallette for each photo, find a medium to dark grey area in the photo, hold down the 'Apple' key and then click on that area. iPhoto adjusts a couple of those controls for you (sometimes good; sometimes bad; but always quick and it's easy to 'undo' if bad).

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

  • New to Mac: help me adjust my Windows workflow to iPhoto

    I recently switched to Mac, mostly in the hopes of spending less time thinking about how the computer works and more time doing what I want to do.
    In fact, what made me finally start seriously thinking about a Mac is when I heard about the iPhoto '08 events feature, where it automatically split the photos based on the dates. I thought that was genius in how simple, yet effective it was.
    I take quite a few photos. I take a lot of random photos of my car (I'm a car guy), but I also take some photos at parties, friend visits and family visits, etc. I often take several of photos of the same thing, because, heck, there's plenty of space on the memory card, and maybe one of the subsequent photos will be better than the first.
    One common scenario for me is going to a social gathering of some kind and then posting the photos of that event online.
    My Windows XP workflow used to be as follows:
    1. Connect camera
    2. Import photos into a folder named after the event using Windows Photo import. If several different events, select several sets and import them separately into separate folders. E.g. "My Pictures\Spring Cleaning Day Apr 2008"
    3. Browse the photos using Windows File Viewer and delete any obviously poor photos and select the least blurry of several duplicates.
    So that above is fairly straighforward. Now, I need to get these photos up online. A while back, I set up for myself a website that runs Gallery 1.x software, so I could just upload photos via a web interface and have them viewable with automatic thumbnails.
    The thing is: I don't want to upload ALL images online. Just most of them (the best).
    4. Open the photos I'm interested in a photo editor, one by one.
    5. Crop, adjust levels, shadows, colors, etc.
    6. Resize photo to a "large but not too large" web size, usually either 1200 or 1400 pixels wide.
    7. Adjust sharpness on the resized photo to make sure it looks good when viewed at actual pixel size.
    8. Save photo in a subfolder called "forweb", e.g. My Pictures\Spring Cleaning Day Apr 2008\forweb. This way, I get to keep all the originals from the camera and my resized web-ready photos separate.
    9. Upload all photos from the "forweb" folder using a web interface, typing up descriptions for each.
    When I'm done, I have a gallery that has thumbnails, mid-size versions of the photos (800 pixels wide, for easy viewing) and a "full-size" version for a detailed view (but not as huge as the one that came out of the camera... so it's not original size). In fact, the original size photos are huge (as I take them at 7.1MP resolution with the lowest compression), about 2-3MB each, and so I'd never want to upload a 100 3MB photos. A waste of space.
    Overall, the result is pretty good: most people view the midsize photos and save full-size (1200 or 1400 pix wide) photos of things they particularly like.
    However, the process is too time consuming. In particular, it takes forever to go through each photo and resize it and crop it. The process of resizing and saving each individual photo in the separate "forweb" is quite a bit of overhead. Sometimes I kind of dread having to post photos up online after events, and it should totally not be that way!
    I bought a .Mac subscription after seeing the fancy web galleries. I am hoping that the combination of iPhoto and .Mac can help me get my photos up on the web quicker.
    So now, the iPhoto workflow. What should it be?
    Here's my guess:
    1. Connect camera.
    2. Import all photos, naming each event after importing.
    3. Delete poor photos or blurry duplicates.
    4. Identify photos I want to display on the gallery (those worth keeping) and hide all others.
    5. Crop and adjust shadows/colors/etc.
    6. Select "Web gallery" to share the event.
    And then I'm done.
    So that sounds pretty good right there. Except, I have several reservations and questions:
    1. Is it better to mark photos I don't want in the web gallery as hidden (so I can just upload the entire gallery) or should I just select the photos I want to upload online into the web gallery? It seems to work either way. On one hand, it seems better to hide the photos, because then when they get synced to my iPhone, I have the most relevant photos and not the "extras." Also, if I'm showing photos from my laptop, I'm also showing the cream of the crop and not everything. On the other hand, the concept of hiding photos is kind of unusual to me. Feels strange to "hide" photos.
    2. What to do for a web gallery full size that's not as huge as the original camera size? When uploading to .Mac, I only have an option of Optimized or Actual Size. Optimized size is 1024 pixels wide. That's too small for a detailed views or for wallpaper purposes. The problem is that the "Actual Size" from my camera is huge (~3000 pixels wide). I don't really want to burden people with the downloading of the 2-3MB "Actual Size."
    However, it seems that it's tricky to implement such a 1200-1400-pixel-wide "full size" with iPhoto. There is no resize option within iPhoto that I could find. The best I could find was a crop with a constrain size option. I guess I would have to constrain-size crop to something like 1400x1000 first? And then crop again to get the shape I want?
    Also, sharpness adjustment seems useless when adjusting 7MP photos. In my Windows workflow, I found sharpness much more useful when tweaking photos after they have been resized to this "full-size" 1200-1400 wide resolution. This again means that I'd have to do the crop "trick". It feels strange though that everything else is so straighforward, but resizing photos within iPhoto isn't.
    I guess that's where the whole workflow question is. The iPhoto workflow is to keep your originals intact and maintain adjusted duplicates. But resizing is not a suggested part of this workflow--instead, it is expected that any resizing is done on the way "out" of the library (e.g. File->Export or web gallery publishing).
    I wish I could introduce an intermediate "optimized" setting for Web Gallery upload (although then I don't have that precise control of sharpness after resizing).
    Maybe I am overthinking this and, given that I have 10GB of storage space with .Mac, I should just give up and let it upload my 3000-pix wide 2-3MB JPG originals (i.e. use the "actual size" setting)?
    3. Can anyone provide some practical uses for the "albums" setting and contrast their use vs events? I just want to get a better insight into the practical difference. It seems that albums are not very useful or rather would be rarely used, given the main categorization of all photos into events. It seems that the only use for albums would be to bring together photos across different events. For example, I could make an album of all of the photos of my car's odometer or put together my best random city shots. Maybe I just answered my own question? Still, interested into your use of albums.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    So now, the iPhoto workflow. What should it be?
    This is pretty good:
    1. Connect camera.
    2. Import all photos, naming each event after importing.
    3. Delete poor photos or blurry duplicates.
    4. Identify photos I want to display on the gallery (those worth keeping) and hide all others.
    Well I would make a small change here. There are reports of folks getting hidden photos turning up in their web galleries. So, instead I would flag the photos I want to upload and then create an ALBUM from them. (or you can just drag and drop them to an album) Also, you can add to your gallery simply by adding to the album. Or use Ratings and/or keywords, see below
    5. Crop and adjust shadows/colors/etc.
    6. Select "Web gallery" to share the event.
    (or Album)
    You cannot change the size of images that are in the Gallery. It's a flash based "movie". Those size options refer to the file size of images that you allow folks to download from the gallery.
    Events are a really limited way of organising your pics. Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents).
    You can move photos between Events, you can rename Events, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Event Name using the Info Pane, the Event Folder in iPhoto Library/Originals will also have the new name.
    That's it.
    Albums can be based on any criteria you can think of - and with Smart Albums this can be done automatically.
    For instance, back in your work flow above, you sort the pic and hide the one's you don't want to upload. Here's another way of doing it. Rate the pics, from 1 - 5, and then
    File -> New Smart Album
    Rating -> Is -> 5 stars
    will find your favourites. Best yet, it will update that album every time you rate new pics. You can base Smart Albums on a lot of criteria - date, rating, keyword, camera model... have a look and see the full list, and these can be combined together...
    The other great plus with Albums is that, because they are virtual, a pic can be in 1, 10 or 100 albums with no wasted disk space. But if a pic is in more than one Event you're dealing with a duplicate file.
    Frankly, a Event is a bucket of Pics, and Album is a coherent organisation based on any criteria you can think of.

    I have images in iPhoto from an older digital camera which did not record the date and time.  In iPhoto, with an event selected, I have tried to adjust the date and time by choosing Photo.  When I adjust the date and check Modify original files, it makes the date much earlier--in centuries.  I now have an event from August 2003 (the date I entered) which reads June 2, 1251 under the event!  When I attempt to correct it, it goes back further in time.  What am I doing wrong?

    (I use iPhoto only to import from my iPhone; I organize all my images, including thousands of RAW files, in folders on a big external drive.)
    Why are you using iPhoto at all? use image capture or drag and drop the photos
    The problem is that the files I am copying are getting stripped of the EXIF metadata
    eliminating iPhoto from your work flow will eliminate one oppertunity to have this happen  For photos in iPhoto it is best to export them rather than drag an drop them - this assures your EXIF and IPTC data is correct and uptodate
    Why would I be able, over many years, to retain EXIF metadata in photos imported from an iPhone--then one day find that the same workflow strips such photos of EXIF data?
    Because exporting is the supported way to "export" photos - I never drag and drop photos out of iPhoto and I never use thrid party programs on the photos in the iPhoto library - try exporting as suggested above and see if that is the solution
