IPhoto: album viewing

I used to see 12 or 16 photos on my screen when I opened an iPhoto album. Now I only see two large ones. How do I change the settings back to see more photos at once?

You slide the zoom slider - its location Depends on the version of iPhoto but it is at the bottom of the iPhoto window on the left or right

  • How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

    How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
    In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

    If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
    1  - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
    2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
    3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
    This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
    NOTE:  With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera.  If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder.  If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
    With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
    This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

  • Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV.

    Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV. Videos in other folders are there. For instance, one album has 43 videos and 1600 photos. Apple TV only shows the 1600 photos. Is there an issue with albums that have both photos and videos?

    You can only view that rental on the iPad. For it to show up it has to be rented directly on ATV or through a computer and streamed via home sharing

  • In new iOS 8 photos app, I am missing photos in photo view that are in album view

    All my photos in the iPhoto app on my iMac appear correctly in the album view in the new Photos app on my iPhone 6.  However, not all the photos appear in the photos view.  To try and get the counts to match, in iTunes, I synced my iPhone after unchecking the syncing of photos.  I checked the Photos app on my iPhone and there were no photos.  Then I checked to sync all photos in iTunes and synced my iPhone again.  Every photo on my iMac was in the album view, but there were still missing photos in the photo view.
    Anyone have this problem and a solution?

    Thanks for your response.  Turns out the iPhotos database was corrupted.  I rebuilt it and now the counts match.
    I do have summarize photos turned off as you suggested.
    But now I have a new problem.  I have smart albums in iPhoto on my iMac that correspond to decades.  These albums and the photos they contain appear perfectly in the album view on my iPhone 6.  However, a few photos in the photos view appear with the wrong date.  So I'm working on resolving this.

    All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

  • Opening iphoto album images in photoshop etc

    Hi - does anybody know how to open iphoto albums and import your photos into applications like Photoshop and Illustrator? When you search the iphoto library from within these applicaitons it displays your photo files by date and then separate sub folders - very infuriating! If you're using illustrator and want to import say 8 images, you have to drag them from iphoto library to the desk top so when you import them you can find them instantly. Copying everything over like this has virtually rendered my iphoto app as completely useless. Annoying because I like it very much otherwise. Any suggestions?
    Thanks. M

    Hi mafioso,
    The way you are doing is the best way (exporting to the desktop). If an application supports drag and drop, you can drag from the iPhoto viewing window into your application.
    If you just want to edit a photo in PS, you can set up PS as your external editor in iPhoto's Preferences.
    From iPhoto Help menu:
    "Choosing what happens when you click the Edit button
    When you want to edit a photo, you can have the photo open in iPhoto's edit view, in a separate window, in full-screen view, or in another application.
    To choose a preference:
    Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
    Click General at the top of the Preferences window.
    Under Edit Photo, select one of the following options:
    "In main window" opens the photo in the main viewing area.
    "In separate window" opens the photo in a separate window.
    "Using full screen" opens the photo in full-screen view.
    "In application" opens the photo in another application you choose.
    To open a photo in its own window when "Main window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
    To open a photo in edit view when "Separate window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
    Note: Any video clip you imported into iPhoto will always open in QuickTime Player when you double-click it."
    To have the edits reflected in iPhoto you must "save" a flattened image with the same name.

  • Album view in order of date added. Is it possible?

    album view in order of date added. Is it possible?
    In v10 I got used to ordering my music library with the newest additions on top, date added with the album view if it didn't take up more space.
    Now it's just the songs and I really don't like this. Album view is interesting but usless in alphebetical order which seems to be the default.
    I was told by another person here to use a smart playlist but the method they suggested was not clear.
    Can someone please explain how to do this or if there is a better alternative for someone who liked the old song view>date added>with album art?
    -thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By "nr" are you referring to the shipping invoice that comes with the book? If so the answer is no. To order a book the library containing the book needs to be used.
    If someone had a copy of the library that created the book initially they could order a book on their own Apple account without you knowing about it. *+BUT they would have to have a copy of the iPhoto LIbrary to do so.+*
    So unless you think someone had access to your computer which housed the library a second copy of the book could not have been ordered.

  • How do you export iPhoto albums to an external drive and have all the albums still labeled?

    I am having an issue exporting the iphoto albums to an external drive. When I do it, it either just drops all the pictures in together or it separates them by events, but my iphotos are arranged in albums, not events so that doesn't help.  Can anyone help with this?
    Also, I'm new to mac and i'm noticing iphotos has a lot of limitations...I can't save photos automatically to folders/albums in iphoto bc it doesnt show in the finder, I can't upload to facebook without doing it from iphoto, and I obviously can't save to external drive easily just yet.  Should I just be saving all of my photos in Pictures in the finder? Is there a way you can save them in pictures and then be able to open them in iphotos? I'm getting so frustrated and ready to go back to my PC. =(

    A couple of general comments:
    1. iPhoto is not compulsory. You don't have to use it.
    2. But if you do, then you're going  to need to make a small conceptual leap, and learn just a little.
    The Conceptual Leap: Your Files and your Photos are not the same thing. 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.
    The Learning: iPhoto replaces the Finder (or file browser) for everything to do with your Photo. And I do mean everything. Organising, Editing, sharing with other apps, printing, uploading, whatever are all done either with or via iPhoto. It's you "go-to" for anything to do with your Photos.
    The upshot of that is that how (or where) the files are stored doesn't matter - as long as they are safe and backed up - because after importing to iPhoto you never directly access those files again.
    So, you want to organise your Photos: do it in the iPhoto Window. Events, Albums, Keywords, and so on. You do all your work via that window or the media browsers that make the Library available in every app in the OS.
    So: want to edit a photo, but not with iPhoto? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    How to access the Photos for whatever reason you may need them see this user tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
    For details of the Export dialogue: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    You can more or less recreate your folder tree in the iPhoto Window - start at the bottom of your tree and drag  folder of images to the Albums Heading. iPhoto will import the images and make an album of them. Then File -> New Folder and drag the Album to that. Folders can hold nested folders and Albums. And so work from there.
    But if your folder tree is date based that's a bit pointless, as the Calendar search and Smart Albums make it pretty redundant. With these you can find any photos from a specific day, week, month, year or date-range in the Library.
    If the folder tree is theme based, then keywords will a more effective way of working.
    And Albums are more flexible that folders in the Finder, as an image can be in any number of Albums and use no extra disk space whatever.
    So, it's a whole new way of working with photos for you.
    To your specific questions:
    I am having an issue exporting the iphoto albums to an external drive. When I do it, it either just drops all the pictures in together or it separates them by events, but my iphotos are arranged in albums, not events so that doesn't help
    Export them one album at a time.

    Reasons for bothering to learn...
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Duplicate Pictures Photo Library and an iPhoto Album

    I was trying to get some photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. I created a folder in iPhoto called "iPhone sync" and copied some pictures there. Then I selected iPhoto and that folder to sync in iTunes. Now I have the same pictures in "Photo Library" and the "iPhone Sync" folder (that I created) on my iPhone Photo Albums. Sorry I'm so dense, but how can I:
    1. Get photos from iPhoto to the iPhone "Photo Library" without creating the new folder in iPhoto with which to sync - so I don't have two albums with the same pictures in them on my iPhone and,
    2. How do I get rid of the "iPhone Sync" folder I created without also deleting the iPhone Photo Album?
    Thank you

    This is normal, which cannot be changed.
    All photos transferred from your computer and iPhoto to your iPhone are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library.
    The photos in the iPhoto album include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library - the photos are not duplicated. Just as with iPhoto - all photos in all iPhoto albums are stored in your main iPhoto library. A photo cannot be in an iPhoto album unless the photo is available in your main iPhoto library, and a photo in your main iPhoto library can be in multiple iPhoto albums. The photos in the iPhoto albums are not duplicated - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in your main iPhoto library.
    If you select multiple iPhoto albums to be transferred to your iPhone, all photos in all albums are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library. This way you can view all photos available in an album only by selecting the album under the Photo Library on your iPhone, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    iTunes is the same. A song cannot be available in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in your iTunes library, and a song in your iTunes library can be available in multiple playlists. Songs in an iTunes playlist are not duplicated. This way you can listen to the songs in a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or you can listen to all songs in all playlists and/or available in your iTunes library by selecting Music.

  • I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

    I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?  Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.  

    File name and Title are not the same thing.
    Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
    Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
    So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
    You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

  • Deleted photo and thumbnail still shows up in album view and camera roll

    Hi, whenever i delete a photo on either my ipad(2) or iphone(4s), the thumbnail of the deleted photo still shows up in the album view and camera roll.
    Also, a picture that i deleted months ago (have saved other photos since then, and replaced the thumbnail) from my ipad randomly showed up in the album view and camera roll??
    I have IOS 5.0.1 installed on both iphone(4s) and ipad(2).
    Is this a software glitch or??
    thanks

    Sounds like a damaged database fie:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Delete a photo permanently after selecting in *album view*

    In iPhoto 11 in Lion 7.1, I know that if I select some photos in an Album (that is, in single Album view) and delete them, they will be deleted from the Album only, not from iPhoto itself. In other words, the photos will remain in Photos view:
    I can of course search for the identified photos in Photos view, but that means noting (in single Album view) the photo numbers assigned by my camera (eg., P6160092) to each photo and then, for each photo, changing to Photo view and searching for a photo and deleting it. Time-consuming, inelegant and tedious.
    Doing the selection in single Album view is important because I will often want to delete neighbouring (repeat or faulty) photos, or the nearby originals of a panorama created from them. Deleting quite a large number of photos is important because it is so easy to take many versions of a scene.
    Therefore, what I would like to do is to select them in single Album view and then tell iPhoto to delete them not only from that Album but also from Photos view (and therefore delete them from the computer).
    I was able to do that in an earlier version by selecting the photos on Album view, then pressing CMND OPTION DELETE, then CNTRL-CLICKING on iPhoto's Trash icon and choosing "Empty Trash". I haven't dared do this on my present collection in case something goes badly wrong. "The Missing Manual" is no help here.
    So, how can I do that please?
    Also, I note that if photos are displayed in Events view, the resulting Events are not in alphabetical order (like I have my list of albums) which seems unhelpful. So what is the point of Events view if it simply duplicates the list of Albums?

    You ask:
    So, how can I do that please?
    But you have already answered:
    selecting the photos on Album view, then pressing CMND OPTION DELETE, then CNTRL-CLICKING on iPhoto's Trash icon and choosing "Empty Trash".
    Sorry but I really don't understand what you're asking.

  • Move photo in album, view returns to select location

    iPhoto '09  v8.1.1 424 (earlier versions, too)
    Organizing/moving photos in an album:
    When dragging a photo(s) in an album, say to move it from row 20 to row 1, where drag requires an auto scroll by holding the thumbnail at the top edge of album window, iPhoto returns view to row 20 when photo is dropped at row 1.  Same for any drag, up or down, if pick location is off screen from drop location.
    I would like to have the view stay at drop location.  No pref for this.  Any way to fix?
    Or click to select, then mouse scroll, and some hot key click to insert photo at new location (view stays at insert location).
    Also, iPhoto has a very narrow target strip for the auto scroll.  Any way to widen the scroll control area? Or tips to work it?
    Any comment appreciated.
    -B

    That seems to be the default behavior of that version of iPhoto when dragging in an album.  Not much you can do about it at this time. 
    There is a new version of iPhoto 8, iPhoto 8.1.2, that you could update to and see if that helps.

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Import photos from CD to iPhoto Album directly

    Hi,
    I am a new Mac user and happy to join the Apple community.
    I have photos that are already organized into folders/subfolders and are stored in CD. Now what I would like to do is to directly import the photos to iPhoto Albums and keep the folder structures and names.
    For example, say that I have 2 root folders(A and B) on the CD and folder A contains A1 and A2, folder B contains B1.
    How do I make iPhoto automatically create Album named A which have A1 and A2 sub Albums when I copy/import the photo from the CD?
    I have read tutorial about importing to last roll then drag drop photos to create new album. However, it will requires lots of work that way since I already have all the photos organized on disk.
    Second question: Is it a good practice to go to Finder and copy the entire file structures into iPhoto library? Is there any tutorial that explains how Mac organize the file structure?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance

    Hi iMac User,
    For your first question of keeping your own folder structure, you might want to check out iPhoto 6.
    The following information can help you with iPhoto 5 and iPhoto 6 if you choose to import photos into iPhoto's database.
    Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
    To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
    Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
    A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
    To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
    Go to File>new album from selection.
    You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
    Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
    Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
    Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
    Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
    Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
    Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
    Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
    Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
    One other way you can import a folder of images and have an Album created for it as the same time it is imported as a roll in the Library view:
    Drag each folder of images into the source column of iPhoto. When you see the plus sign, drop it in the source column.
    An album will be created in the source column, and the roll that the album was created from will be in the library view window.
    Hope this helps!
    answer to second question:
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    File structure of iPhoto 5 Library in the Finder:
    This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
    It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.
    File structure of iPhoto Library 6 folder in 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.
    A lot more info that you might need to know:
    --First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
    If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
    --All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
    --You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
    -- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
    You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
    Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
    -- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
    There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
    You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
    cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
    Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
    in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
    (a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
    3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
    You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
    photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
    pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
    Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
    to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
    have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
    Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
    picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
    I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.
