Iphoto, dxo, lightroom for MAC

Good day,
What is the best way to have photos (already in IPhoto), be thereafter processed by DXO and later by Lightroom and back to IPhoto as finished photos??.
I know that IPhoto allows one external processing but doesn't allow two.
Best regards
Ray.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Lightroom is, like iPhoto, a Digital Asset Manager, not a photo editor. LR cannot process photos that have not been imported to its database, just like iPhoto. LR is firmly focussed on the Raw shooter, and frankly, I don't understand why someone would want to use iPhoto if they are also using LR (or, indeed, Apple's Aperture). Think of it this way: they both do essentially the same job, but LR does a whole lot more (and is rather more expensive too.)
If you do want to use iPhoto for books or somesuch, then I would process the photos in LR and afterwards export them to iPhoto using a plug in such as *_this*_
2. I'm not familiar with DXO but it too seems to be a Raw processor, so again, I would process the pics with this prior to importing them to iPhoto.

  • How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    I never did it from Windows to Mac.
    I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

  • Adobe Lightroom for Mac OS version 10.6.8?

    Is there an Adobe Lightroom for Mac OS version 10.6.8?  I have a trial one but can't download it onto my computer

    Hi jdnels37,
    Here are the tech specs required for different versions of Lightroom.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/system-requirements-lightroom.html
    You can try with Lightroom 5, though it is not tested & approved with 10.6.8, if that doesnt work, go for lightroom 4.
    Link for downloading the trial:

  • Lightroom for Mac

    I just purchased Lightroom for Mac.  Every time I try to open the application, my computer tells that "an error has occurred; cannot create directory."  What does this mean?

    Thanks for the reply. It's a MacBook Pro. I purchased Lightroom for Mac off
    of Amazon. I currently have OS 10.6 (snow leapord). And i think you
    understand correctly. I am able to download it. But when I try to open the
    application, it won't let me.

  • Lightroom for Mac, PowerBook G4, Operating system OS X 10.2

    Hello all
    Is there a version of Lightroom that can be downloaded for Mac, PowerBook G4, Operating system OS X 10.2. I have tried Lightroom 1.1 but that needs 10.4 or above. Any advice is appreciated.

    No way. A lot of the system-level things that LR requires are 10.4 only.
    Time to upgrade your machine ;-)

  • Do iPhoto journals created on iOS now sync on iPhoto 9.5 for mac?

    hi all,
    ive spent a lot of time on my iPad touching up travel photos and creating journals. I've just upgraded to Mavericks, and am thinking about getting the new iPhoto 9.5 for iMac.
    Will the journals i have suddenly appear if i make this upgrade on my iMac, or is there a much longer, convoluted process to do this?
    Also, will the quality of the images be the same?
    Thanks in advance!!

    There is no way to view journals created on your iPhoto for iOS on your Mac's iPhoto.

  • How do you transfer Picasa for PC to IPhoto or Picasa for MAC and keep edits?

    I have thousands of photos on my PC and would like to get them onto my IMac in an edited form. When I try to import to IPhoto, I get duplicates. I am unable to export from Picasa for PC and import into Picas for MAC, as it is grayed out.

    What duplicates do you get if you import to iPhoto? What are you importing, where from?
    I'm afraid for help with Picasa you're best to go to Google's forums. They folks who know that app best will be there.

  • How do I import photos from iPhoto to Lightroom on mac book air?

    Iv'e read in several forums that to do this you must go into the finder right click on iPhoto.  Click show package contents.   This pulls up a file named contents.   All of the forums say to either look for a masters file or a original file and copy and paste it to the desktop. This is supposed to then allow lightroom to see the packaged file.   I can't seem to find either file.  Im not sure if its because the forum is outdated or if they just completely changed the name of the file with a newer update.   Either way I tried to do this with a couple of the files I thought might work i.e.. library, mac os.   Nothing has worked.   I am very new to using mac.  I just literally bought this computer yesterday so I really don't want to try to much blindly but being able to edit images with professional software is the whole reason why I bought it.    Pleases Help!!!!!!

    I just looked on my computer and it appears that they moved the folder location.  In Finder, go to the "pictures" folder and then right click on the iPhoto library and select show package contents.  I was then able to find a Masters Library with a bunch of sub folders that contained the files.
    I think the issue is that you were selecting the iPhoto application.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to Uninstall Lightroom for Mac

    I just upgraded to Version 2, I want to uninstall version 1 without effecting V.2, Ive looked everywhere for the uninstaller, to no avail.

    Neither of those methods will competely remove lightroom 1.0 from your mac, there is a super little app that uninstalls everything related to a program, library files, caches, etc etc
    Its called appzapper. It traces through all the relevant files and removes them all.
    I dont know whether lightoom 2 uses the same caches, etc etc
    Just my observation

    Then maybe you should NOT be recommending this. Good way to lose Presets, Galleries and other related items. Just do as the earlier repliers suggest.

  • Erratic Movement of Marker Pins in iPhoto 9.5 for Mac

    Newest version of iPhoto with Apple Maps seems to have a real problem when trying to manually place marker pins with precision in small Places map (i.e. - fine-tune location).  New pop-up-and-place-down routine in software seems to be VERY vulnerable to erratic jumps, especially vertical, when trying to fine tune location manually.  Pin can end up miles from intended spot, even when starting from zoomed-in location!
    Anyone else having this problem?  Anyone know a fix for it?

    I have been having the same issue - but with iPhoto '09 (v8.1.2). I used to be able to use the mouse to swipe across the map to go after a certain place rather easily, but now after a small swipe the map area stays in place or moves very slightly. I have to hold the mouse down and move it very far on the screen to have a new area show without it snapping back. When zoomed in, the swipe barely works at all.
    It is very aggravating especially since I want to place pins manually much of the time instead of typing in a city (since the locations aren't in a city).
    The issue started happening for me about the same time, I believe.

  • Downloading lightroom for mac.

    ive just bought myself a new mac, can i use my old license number to download lightroom on this, or do i have to purchase it all over?
    also, how do i find my old license number if i have deleted the mail?
    thanks!

    Yes you can redownload the version you had before.
    If you need your serial number and you registered your copy before, Adobe has a record of it. Sign in using your Adobe ID and you should be able to retrieve your serial number.

  • Lightroom for Mac 10.6.8

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8. I noticed that I do not have the requirements for LightRoom 5. Is it still possible to acquire LightRoom 4 instead?
    Thanks in advance for the information,
    Pierre-Olivier Gaudreau

    You will be able to upgrade to 5 or 6 when you get your new computer if you buy the FULL Lr4 now. (I see it is still available in several places on Amazon)   It all depends if you need Lr now and how long it will be before you upgrade to a new computer.

  • LightRoom for mac not keeping serial number

    Anytime a user runs LR for the first time after a reboot it asks for a serial number. this is true for both local administrators, Open Directory Admins, and non-admin users.
    I called Adobe, but because it's a volume educational license, it has to go to Tier 2 and they charge for that.

  • Email photos from iPhoto '11 via Office for Mac

    how do i email photos from iPhoto via Office for Mac.  Entourage mail client used to let me select photos directly from iPhoto - Office does not.

    Several possible ways
    1 - search these forums - there have been hacks reported that are reported to allow you to use OutLook as the e-mail client for MS Outlook
    2 - drag photos from the iPhoto window to the Outlook icon in the dock
    3 - drag photos (or export them - file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder and attach from there
    4 - from an Outlook email use the attach to attach photos - look in the lower left hand corner of the attach window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto
