IPhoto - changing to jpeg

How do I change pictures into jPeg format?
Thanks, Marianne

If you loaded them into iPhoto as jpeg then they will still be jpeg.
You need to be more specific about what you are trying to do.
Do you have photos in iPhoto?
Do you want jpeg versions of the photos for something?
If you need them for another application then you can select the photos in iPhoto and the select the 'Export' option from the File menu.
In the options there you can select the file type and location for the files to be exported.
REMEMBER - Do not touch the photos store in the iPhoto Library Folder, if you do you will stop iPhoto from working

  • Does iPhoto change a RAW file upon import or export?

    Hi! New Mac user here. Trying to get my workflows and backups going.
    I created an iPhoto library from multiple sources: migration from PC, folders from backup HD, new photos from iPhone and camera memory card.
    So I have one consolidated library that is almost 300Gb but I want to go through and remove and archive many of these, leaving only a much smaller working library with the archive copies of some originals stored somewhere else.  These archive copies will not be referenced files, my plan is to export them from iPhoto, back them up to an external HD, and then delete them from the iPhoto library. If I ever decided to look at them again, I would import them from the archive HD.
    Ideally, I should have imported all the files to my iMac desktop and then imported only what I wanted into iPhoto, but because everything is now consolidated (and the photos from the iPhone and camera memory card are erased), I don't want to wipe out my iPhoto library and start over. So I'm starting with this huge managed library and want to export a good part of it to what I will call "the archive" to cull it down.
    My questions: Upon import, did iPhoto change the RAW master files, or will those be the same when I export them (assuming I made no edits)? Did iPhoto change the JPEGs or will those also be the same when I export them?
    How do I export the files I want to save to the archive before deleting them from the iPhoto library?
    Alternatively, I think I will use Aperture going forward for editing.  Should I use that instead for trying to export these files?
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
    LCA
    iMac 4 GB, 2.7 GHz, Intel Core i5
    OS X 10.7.4
    iPhoto 9.3.1
    Aperture 3.3.1

    File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue set the Kind to Original
    That will export a byte by byte copy of the file you imported, unchanged in any way.
    Can I suggest another way of working. Why not have two Libraries? An archive and a working one?
    The principle advantage is that you won't have to import pics to review them again later, just open the other library.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • I edit my photos in Photoshop, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto.  But if I add text to an image in Photoshop can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

    I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11.  If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd.  Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?

    Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
    While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
    I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
    The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
    Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

    The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG.

  • How do i change my iphoto into a jpeg

    How do I change a saved photo in iphoto into a jpeg to be sent in an e-mail?

    Launch the Preview app. If the Preview icon's not in the Dock, launch it from your Applications folder.
    From the Preview menu bar (top of your screen) click File / Open. Select your photo.
    Now from the menu bar again click File / Save As
    Click the pop up menu next to:  Format
    Select JPEG
    Click Save.
    You can drag that photo to a new mail window or click Attach.

  • RAW images  change to Jpegs when moved

    When I move a folder of Raw files from iPhoto to Canon Image Browser or to a folder in Finder, they change to Jpegs. Is there a way to keep them as Raw CR2 Files when moved. Thanks for any help

    No they don't. However it sounds like you're accessing the Jpeg previews that iphoto creates on import. So, how are you trying to "move a folder" of images? There are a couple of ways, depending on what you are trying to do.
    Processing Raw in iPhoto
    When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically makes a jpeg Preview of the shot. Why? Because you can't do anything with Raw - can't print it, share it online, use it in other apps etc. So to allow you to use the file immediately the Preview is available.
    You can, however, also process the Raw in iPhoto simply by editing it. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut). The output from the processing then replaces the preview. You can choose to save your output as either jpeg or tiff in the iPhoto Preferences.
    When you are processing Raw in iPhoto you will see the Raw badge on the bottom of the iPhoto Window
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    Note: After you have processed a Raw, subsequent edits to the photo are carried out on the processed jpeg (or tiff) not the Raw. If you want to go back to the original then you need to use the Photos -> Reprocess Raw command.
    Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
    You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. *But* iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
    First off set your preferred app as an external editor in 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.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
    Now for the kludge:
    You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
    This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.
    ANd, you can always access the Raws simply by exporting with the Kind set to Original

  • IPhoto changes my dpi while editing - what to do?

    Hello!
    I have iPhoto 6 and have taken over 500 pictures for a wedding. Now they want to print bigger photos (A4) from my photos. All of a sudden we notice that all of the photos that I have taken with my Nikon D70, that are vertical have the dpi 70 instead of 300 needed for good quality print. Some of these pictures I have cropped but not all. I also have not turned all of them around. Most of them where taken the "right way" already with my camera. What I have done is that I have edited the colour or exposure in iPhoto. So why has iPhoto changed the dpi and why does it not ever notify me about this? Is there some way in how to prevent this from happening? Or change the dpi later in iPhoto? I can't possibly start re-editing each vertical photo in Photoshop, that is absurd! How can I prevent this from happening again?
    Thank you for your help!

    lkaranko:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The resolution has not been changed. It's the pixel dimension of the image that is the more important factor. If you take a 1600 x 1200 image at 72 dpi it will give you a 22" x 16.6" print. But if you take that same file and print at 300 dpi you'll get a 5.3 x 4" print.
    iPhoto just reports the resolution at 72 dpi which, if printed at that resolution would give you a very large print. If you select a print size iPhoto will squeeze the available pixels into those dimensions. The smaller the print size the larger the resolution will be.
    In rotating the files a new jpg file is created and when it's saved there will be some jpg compression applied. The original file is left intact and can be recovered by selecting the photo and using the Photo->Revert to Original menu option.
    The bottom line is: as long as the number of pixels do not change (or by very much) the inherent resolution of the file is not changed.

    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.

  • IPhoto changes the original creation date to 12/31/1969

    Hi folks, this is a problem I have been trying to resolve for a very long time.
    I have a large collection of pictures that I took with a Palm Zire 71 and Zire 72 going back to 2003. Every time I import the files with iPhoto (File > Import to Library), iPhoto changes the original creation dates of the jpgs to 12/31/1969. I have tried many different things... most recently I burned the files to a CD, confirmed that the original creation dates were still in tact, and tried importing with iPhoto right from the CD. I got the same result... all photos with the date 12/31/1969. All photos completely disorganized because of Palm's less than great file naming structure. I need to keep the creation dates intact for the iPhoto books I want to make with them, so changing the file names won't work as a solution. Even changing the files names to the creation dates plus a counter would be very difficult because it is over 1500 pictures. Does anyone else know of this problem and perhaps have a solution for it? Thanks!

    Thank you for the suggestion TD. But the Batch doesn't help in this case because so many of the photos were created on different days. I would still have to manually go into each of the creation dates and change them back to the original.
    That's just not feasible for 1500 files. iPhoto shouldn't be stripping the files of the creation dates at import to begin with. I'm hoping to find a way to get the import process to work properly for these files. The weird thing is that iPhoto doesn't seem to do this to files create on a more typical point and shoot camera,
    but only on these Palm files.

  • Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
    You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

  • IPhoto changes slideshow when exported

    I am having significant problems with iPhoto changing the slideshow when I export it to iDVD or even Quicktime. This is so frustrating! All I can attribute this to, is one of the updates. I have used this to do DVD's for weddings, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. with no problem, then somewhere along the line, it began changing the timing. All my hard work to synchronize the exact picture with the music - GONE!
    Please help, as I have lots of these to do on a tight turnaround time. I adore my Mac & really need for this to work like it used to!
    Power Mac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The audio syncing has been a problem with iPhoto 6 for a while now. There is a couple of ways you can do what you want;
    1 - create the slideshow in iPhoto without music and share to iDVD.
    2 - when the import into iDVD is complete, close iDVD without saving and look for your movie in the Movies folder. This produces the larger size movie than just exporting to Quicktime does.
    3 - open the movie in iMovie and add your tracks. You have considerably more control in fade ins and outs, cutting out the dead time at the end of a track, etc.
    4 - save the iMovie project.
    5 - open iDVD, select your theme.
    6 - drag the iMovie project file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones. This avoids additional encoding by iMovie so the only encoding done is by iDVD when you go to save as a disk image or burn directly to disk.
    Are you using the KB effect in your slideshow? If not, you can get, IMO, better image quality slideshows by creating the show entirely in iDVD from the imported stills. By selecting the option to scale photos to the TV Safe Area you won't lose any of the picture to the TV overscan phenomenon that affects all QT files used in iDVD. This method also allows you to add titles/sub titles to selected slides or add a text slide as a title. The scale to audio in iDVD is very precise.

  • Iphoto - when exporting photos with their titles,iPhoto changes the manual sequence that I have given and imposes an alphabetical sequence

    Mac mini
    Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 768 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    When exporting a group photos with their individual titles, iPhoto changes the manual sequence that I have given and imposes its own sequence (which seems to be alphabetical).  The export dialogue box allows me to use my titles or to impose a numerical sequence.
    How can I keep my titles and the sequencing that I had carefully worked out?

    What you are missing is that files have no order - you view them using a program and that program creates the order
    When viewing in an iPhoto album you can sort manually and iPhoto will display the photos as you sorted them - but when you move to a different program (the finder for example) you have a totally different set of sorts available - for example in the finder the same set of files can be viewed in alpha order, in size order, in date modified order, etc - none of those are inherent in the file but are sorts set under the view menu 
    So to meet your requirements you must export with file attributes that allow the finder view options to present your desired view - which is what volunteers here have tried to help with - even though it really does not involve IPhoto in any way

  • I have a nikon 3200 and i took pictures in raw format and now want to change to jpeg format

    i have a nikon 3200 and i took pictures in raw format and now want to change to jpeg format

    Bridge is just a file browser.  It does not contain any photos inside the application itself.  Bridge will see and display your photos wherever you put them.
    You cannot "transfer the edited images to Bridge".  That is wholly nonsensical.  Just use Bridge to navigate to your image files, wherever you put them.

  • Change a jpeg file

    how can i change a jpeg document to a word document? or to a document which i can copy & paste?

    Well, you can copy & paste JPGs just fine in Leopard, either within Finder or directly inside certain applications. The easiest thing is to just drag and drop the JPG into the application you want to put it in.
    If you double-click a JPG on the Desktop, typically it should open in Preview. Once you're looking at it in Preview you can now just push command+c to Copy it to the Clipboard. From there, open the application you want to paste it into and push command+v to Paste the image.
    Or, if it's a JPG that's on a website that you're looking at in Safari, just right-click the image and choose Copy Image. Again, this puts the image on the Clipboard, ready for you to Paste into whatever application you want.
    If you want to turn a JPG into a PDF, rather than a Word document, just double-click it to open it in Preview, then push command+s to Save, and choose PDF from the list of Formats.

  • Iphoto changed my RAW files to JPEG when copying to folder

    I had a folder of RAW files that I imported to iphoto for the purposes of easy viewing and deleting some similar/duplicate images. Once I finished with the images I copied them back to my desktop and iphoto converted all my images to jpeg - so now instead of each one being a 10+MB RAW file they're now all ~1.5MB jpeg.
    I didn't do anything other than import the photos then trashed the ones I didn't need then copied the rest of them back to my hard drive.
    Now, I started on another batch of photos that are already imported to iphoto before I realized the others were only JPEG. Lots of RAW files with a couple jpegs in there as well...and I can drag the jpeg photos to my desktop fine but the RAW files won't move, I can't drag them to a folder on my desktop.
    What the heck just happened?
    Message was edited by: jdhc8

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How did you copy them to the Desktop? *If you want the RAW file you need to export them to the Desktop with the Format option set to Original.* That will give you the orignal RAW file. If you just drag them from the iPhoto window then you will get the jpg version that iPhoto creates for viewing and editing with iPhoto.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current.

    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • IPhoto changing file extension...

    I use a very old version of Photoshop (Adobe PS CS Version 8) for digital scrapbooking.  I store all of my files on an EHD because I have thousands, and I don't want to slow down my computer's performance.  It had been hooked up to my desktop, but I recently started attaching it to my MacBook because that has become my main computer.  When I hooked it up, I had to update my iPhoto libraries to work with my MacBook's version of iPhoto ('11).  So I did.  Now when I try to open my files, I get the error message that an invalid JPEG marker type is found.  Most of the files, aren't even jpegs, they are pngs or psds.
    It appears that when I try to open a file, iPhoto is duplicating it and giving it a jpeg extension, which is unreadable by Photoshop.  Is there any way to stop this from happening?  If not, can I undo what I've done and reattach it to my old computer?  I'm talking THOUSANDS of files!
    Thanks for any/all of your help!

    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. The files are then stored in the Library package
    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. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • Is iPhoto changing my .mov format after importing from iPad?

    Or is iTunes changing it while importing?
    It seems iPhoto is making movies incompatible with iPad.
    My iPad sees and plays my .mov videos directly taken by my canon sd 1400 is. They play in the photos app of my ipad after using the camera kit, and it's great for sharing with friends during a vacation.
    The bad news is after ipad uploads these videos and photos to my mac's iPhoto, iPhoto is changing the format (I am guessing) so that the videos can not be uploaded back to the ipad in an album. Why? How can I change or fix this?
    I am hoping someone points me to a magic setting in iPhoto that says, "Check this box if you don't want your videos broken with iPad"

    The iTunes app on your computer is very strict as to importing videos to the iPad.
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
    H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Even if your video does follow the above specs. Not all h.264 are created equally to the h.264 standards.
    The Camera Connection Kit is not as strict.
    I can import videos from my Flip Mino HD camera when using the Camera Connection Kit. When trying to import the same video using iTunes I get the message,'file format no supported.'
    The previous iOS 3.x did not support importing Flip videos when using the Camera Connection Kit. I was happy to find that the iOS 4.2.1 upgrade did!!! Now I don't have to buy a new video camera!!!
    To answer you question... Use the Camera Connection Kit. It's better than nothing...
