IPhoto-edited images exported to JPEG & copied to DropBox don't open

I know this is a permissions issue, but I can't figure it out.
Images I have edited in iPhoto and export to JPEG cannot be copied to another user's DropBox on another Mac on my network. He can't see or open the images. Copying files that were in iPhoto but not edited CAN be opened.
Tried playing with the permissions settings of the DropBox folder and the Public folder to no avail.
Tried copying the same file to a different user's directory on the same 2nd Mac after authenticating as that user (rather than as Guest for the DropBox) and the file copies OK.
Trying to get this user's Mac's public folder set up so I can send him pics, but it is not working, and I can't figure this out!

Try this:
Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg.

HI,
When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. I seem to have tried and read so much but just can't figure it out. How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. Or do a have to use a different system? I have Adobe Bridge. Or can I upload directly into photoshop?
Also how do you install dmg's properly I am having problems installing them?
I have a Mac OS X 13 inch Version 10.6.7
Advice desperately needed
Thanks

Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
According to this excerpt:
To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
which is at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?

Aperture Loses iPhoto Edited Images

Hello,
I need help on importing iPhoto libraries.
I have 22 iPhoto libraries (iPhoto 8.1.2, 140GB total for all libraries) on an iMac 27, OS 10.6.8, and am importing into Aperture 3.2.2. I imported each iPhoto library separately and rebuilt their thumbnails before each import. It was my understanding that Aperture would import the original iPhoto images as well as the edited images along with metadata. Now I have discovered that in my case it does this sometimes but not always. When it does work Aperture shows two images in a stack, the iPhoto edited image (with the keywords "iPhoto Edited" added, and the iPhoto original image (with the keywords "iPhoto Original" added). This is what I would expect. However, there are many images that I edited in iPhoto that show up in Aperture as just a image, the one that was edited in iPhoto. The iPhoto original image is not there. Aperture has added the keywords "iPhoto Converted" (whatever that means) and "iPhoto Original" (which it is not) to this photo. If I go back to these images in iPhoto and do a revert to original, iPhoto reverts the edit back to the (true) original image. So,both the original and edited images are in iPhoto.
I have rebooted the Mac and repaired permissions but that didn't help.
Getting my Aperture library setup has been a struggle and I appreciate all the help I have gotten. It looks like I still need more. Thanks!
Mike

Hello Leonie,
You were right on - many thanks! I thought I was facing having to start over again.
I have found Apple's Aperture User's Guide very useful but nowhere in its 907 pages have I found your instructions described or "iPhoto Converted" defined.
It works as you described and I have some comments: (1) After the resetting all adjustments in Aperture the new version continues to have these same keyword tags as before the reset. The adjustment badge is gone and the version number is appended to the image name. (2) I also used "New Version from Master" on some iPhoto edited photos. This creates a new version; however, all the adjustments, keywords and badges were deleted, but the version number is appended to the name. (3) I tried "Show Master Image". This apparently only works in Split View & Viewer (dimmed out in Browser). When I do this the adjustments are apparently not changed except for crops which are removed (this seems odd). Keywords and badges are not changed. There is no version number, of course, and the image is identified as a master image. (4) I am curious about why using Aperture's iPhoto Browser to import photos results in two photos, the iPhoto original and the iPhoto edited. They have the appropriate iPhoto Edited or iPhoto Original tags; however, except for rotation and cropping the iPhoto adjustments appear to have been reset. The edited ones do not have an adjustment badge, even though it was adjusted in iPhoto. All the images have a keyword badge and Aperture has added a keyword which it the title of the iPhoto album or event the photo came from. They all have a Master Image label at the top. I duplicated one of the iPhoto edited images. The duplicate displayed a Master Image label and Reset All Adjustment was dimmed.
I would appreciate your observations on these comments.
Aperture is an impressive piece of software and thanks to your help I think I am finally ready to start using it!

OS X Yosemite + iPhoto - edits not exported

Despite trying numerous suggestions on forums to repair, rebuild or recreate databases and libraries with iPhoto, my iPhoto 9.6 together with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 will not export or share edited versions of any images I have in iPhoto libraries or albums. The edited versions only appear in iPhoto. All exported/shared versions use the original image. This was not a problem I had when I was using OS X Mavericks. Advice on how to overcome this problem (assuming it's fixable at all) would be welcome.

These things I've tried:
1. Starting iPhoto holding down cmd and option keys, then selecting from the menu Repair permissions. Tried exporting existing edited photos.
2. Starting iPhoto holding down cmd and option keys, then selecting from the menu Rebuild Thumbnails.Tried exporting existing edited photos.
3. Starting iPhoto holding down cmd and option keys, then selecting from the menu Repair Database.Tried exporting existing edited photos.
4. Starting iPhoto holding down cmd and option keys, then selecting from the menu Rebuild Database.Tried exporting existing edited photos.
5. Starting iPhoto holding down option key, then from the dialog box, selecting Create New... to create a new library. Adding photo to the new library. Tried exporting the newly imported photo after editing.

LR 2.6 images exported as JPEG cause Photoshop to Crash

I have just found that if I export an image in jpg format (50% compression) then Photoshop Elements (3, and yes I know it is an old version, but that should not make any difference surely) cannot open that file. Everything is OK if the file is exported as a TIF.
JPGs exported from LR2.4 are OK.
Anyone else had this effect?

Hi SSPrengel
OK - maybe this will shed some light
Try changing the size to something very small.- see below
Try changing the compression. Not affected by the level of Quality (2% 50% or 100%) - all fail to load
Try changing whether a color-profile is embedded or not. Not an option AFAIK in LR Export
Try changing if the metadata is minimized or not. Not an option AFAIK in LR Export
Try changing if the JPGs are exported relative to the source image or some fixed location. Exported to a specific location.
If I use the Image export resize option it loads OK (resize to 1000*673 from 3916*2634).
Older exports (from LR2.3 and earlier, of the same size image, and source DNG are OK)
A centre crop from the Image (1205*691) is OK. A marginal crop (2 edges) (3838*2552) is OK whereas a very slight crop at (3693*2614) FAILS
The camera is Leica M8, images is in Leica RAW format (DNG).
It appears to be function of Image export size (reduced either by Cropping or by 'Resizing on Export'
Looks like a bug in LR2.6

Iphoto 08 image export limitation (!?)

Hi,
It used to be that you could export all your images out of iPhoto if need be. Why is it now limiting me to 60 photos at a time? And, if there's no way to do it in program, what is good work-around?
Appreciate any insight here.
Thx!

Never mind...had it set to Facebook utility instead of just files. Doh!

Videos in iPhoto used to export with correct date, no they don't.

Hello, I use iPhoto a lot. About every 6 months I rename and export my photos and videos to a separate portable hard drive for safe storage.
I am doing that right now, but have noticed that my videos do not export with the correct date (changes the date to the export date), and therefore the videos are not going to be in the right order, and will not have the correct date on my backup files. The pictures export properly with correct date. Just the videos are the problem.
This problem did not exist before. What has changed? Is there a way to export my videos and retain the correct date again?
Thank you!

Thank you for the quick reply Terence!
Is this something new for Maverick, or new iPhoto update? I have always been able to export video with the correct date. Even when I imported it back into iPhoto later, the correct date was there. I think I updated to Maverick after my last renaming and exporting session.
I have found that if I drag the video from iPhoto to my desktop, it keeps the correct date on the file and the video is intact. So there must be some sort of "metadata" in the file that has the correct date?? You probably have the knowledge to experiment with this??
Just seems weird, because for years it was just fine. Now it is not.
How did the videos used to keep the correct date?
Thank you.

Why jpeg file exported from Aperture with 300 dpi's it opens with 72 dpi's on PS ( image size)? I've tried several combinations and all give different results. And I am confused on what is the best workflow for me.

Ok.
My workflow is
RAW > Aperture Library > export jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > one file on PS > edit > Save us jpeg. The I realised that files from PS were being save in a smaller size from the ones exported form Aperture. That is when I went o see <image size> on PS and files were with 72.
Since ten I've trying different things
1. Aperture > export as PSD > open on PS > edit > Save us jpeg = small file (around 15 MB)
2. Aperture > export as jpeg high resolution 300 dpi's > open on PS > CHANGE dpi's to 300 on <image size> edit > Save us jpeg = big file (Huge, actually)
What am I doing wrong? Would someone give me guidance and tell me what is the best workflow, considering I edit photos to deliver to my clients and I shall give them 300 dpi's.
Thank you

How To Save Jpeg Copy As Action

Hi - how do I create an action that saves my open image as a jpeg copy in the same directory as the original? Rather than save as export I am doing a straight 'Save As...' and then selecting the jpeg option. When you do this the 'save as copy' is greyed out. If I 'Save As..' but before changing to jpeg, whilst it is a PSD file I can select 'save as copy', then select the jpeg option. Whilst the box is greyed out it is still ticked. However it still does not save as a copy, but overwrite the original.
Any clues? Using CS5.

Hi.
You can also use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+S (save as copy) when recording the action to add copy to the name.
There's an obvious one I missed. This solves a problem lurking in the action. Duplicate preserves the original name (plus "copy"). But the Save dialog will open to the spot recorded in the action. Not the source document folder. You might have to navigate to the right folder. So in this statement,
The file should be saved to the same folder...
needs a small correction. Change "should" to "probably won't".
Using "Duplicate" severs the ties between the original document and the copy. Alt+Ctrl+S retains that link and the Save dialog opens the right folder. If your Save step isn't conditional, the new file will be named Original Name plus "copy.jpg". So the action gets really simple.
1. Ctrl+Alt+S. With Format set to Jpg.
Thanks, MTSTUNER.
Peace,
Lee

Move to Aperture with Photoshop edited images?

There was just a new thread which asked about iPhoto edited images being moved to Aperture. Didn't want to be accused of hijacking a thread by asking an elaboration in that thread, so here's a new one.
A further question that thread brings up:
I too have edited images. (Very few are in iPhoto).
I do have way too many edited images that have little clones, in various states of edit & possibly recropped in Photoshop, as well. Saved as various resolutions of *.png or *.jpg or *.psd. It appears daunting to move all those in a coherent way.
Is there a way to handle a move to Aperture that reduces the pain of such a messy state?

In Aperture you have two different flavors of organizing structures:
Containers (projects and folders): In the projects you store your images, and the folders help to group them hierarchically for easy access, see Kirby Krieger's essay: Re: Organizing in Aperture, concise long version:
Output structures: Album, smart albums, slide shows, books, webpages, ...: The output structure does not actually store the images, but references them for specific uses and describes relations between images, bases on properties of the images, like keywords, captions, and other tags.
What you need to do, when designing your own library structure, is to clearly seperate the aspects - storage and use:
The storage structure should be simple, but consistant - I am a follower of Kirby's maxime: "one shoot - one project" - just like in the old times of rolls of film - one box per film roll. As to the allocation of folders to contain your projects, there are different approaches; you may go for a chronological scheme How do you structure you library? or group by categories, anything is fine, as long as it isn't to involved, straight forward, and easy to maintain.
The output structure should be flexible; you will find that you will frequently adapt it to the project at hand. Since the ouput structure heavily relies on the tags and keywords, you should invest some effort into define import presets, to get most of your tagging done automatically on import.
Thus said, back to the problem at hand:
Looking: If I use "Stacks," I can group/clump them together. That's a pretty good use for stacks, especially if judiciously assembled into a project container.
I recommend against using stacks for long-term structuring. Stacks are somewhat weird, transient creatures between storage and output structures: they don't fit completely into one of the above categories. They are used by Aperture as storage stucture on import, but their use is restricted - you cannot move single images contained in a stack to another project (all images in the stack will move together), and special rules apply if you use stacked images in books and slide shows. Also you will need stacks for other uses, and you will want to be able to stack your images according to other criteria. It easy to unstack all images by mistake - happens to me all the time - then your storage structure will be broken.
I suggest to group related images by filename on import - using a custom import preset for filenames. That way your structure will be persistent not as fragile as when based on stacks.

How to save a Tiff to Jpeg and automatically open the Jpeg copy?

I got this workflow,
1) From LR export to PS
2) Do all essential editings.
3) Save. File become 'xyz.tiff' now. (I want to keep this as master copy)
4) Crop to 4r, Save a Jpeg copy as 'xyz 4r.jpg'
5) PS save it as a copy, but do not automatically open the Jpeg copy. The tiff remains opened. I have to manullay Open, browse to it, and open the Jpeg. The 'Open Recent' list also do not list 'xyz 4r.jpg'.
6) Do 4r sharpening for the 'xyz 4r.jpg', save it.
Basically the files I want to keep and worked on is like this: NEF -> xyz.tiff -> xyz 4r.jpg -> xyz sml.jpg(maybe)
Now, it there a way in step (5) to have PS save the Jpeg copy, and automatically open it? I dont care if the Tiff copy remains opened or not, I am done with it.

Like Christoph, I ask myself why on Earth would anyone want to do that?
To keep working on an already lossy file which will further deteriorate evey single time you save and re-save it and close it?
That's just nuts!
The abominable JPEG format is a necessary evil, but I use it only as the final output file when someone demands a JPEG for whatever reason.
By all means only work on losless formats like PSD, PSB or TIFF.
Working on a JPEG in order to make it smaller defies all logic.

After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
will appreciate any advise. Thanks

We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom.

How to create a master catalog of edited images without exporting from client catalog (in DNG or JPEG).

I create a LR catalog for each client which works great as I have many repeat clients and can easily access all of their images. However, I want to have a master studio catalog that includes the edited images from all of the
jobs. When I have imported these images into the master, the lightroom adjustments are lost. How can I import import the edited images showing LR adjustments?

I can answer your question literally, exactly what you have asked.
Or I could suggest something else, more elegant, which may address your real needs better.
Let me do the first:
Use the command "export as catalog" for the new delta of the current job of that repeat client. For the first job you do not need this, as the total catalog is just about the portion you want to have in your master catalog.
Then open your master catalog and use the command "import from another catalog", select this exported portion, and you are done. But caveat: now the same image file is referenced by 2 catalogs, which may lead to,problems, e.g. If you move the image within Lightroom.
Alternative suggestion: just work with 1 master catalog and use a collection set per each of your clients, one collection per job underneath. If appropriate, create more collections in that client's set, e.g. only for images he/she bought actually.
So far I have not understood what an individual catalog per client gives you, what a collection (set) would not?

How can I export an edited image to a file?

I can't seem to find a way in iPhoto 09 do this. Can I export an edited image to a file, keeping the edits intact, or do I have to use a 3rd party editing app when I edit from inside iPhoto 09?
I would prefer to use iPhoto's editing tools so should I import previously cropped images into iPhoto? If yes, what file should I use? I was wondering if anyone does this on a regular basis and if there issues doing this.
I like the editing tools in iPhoto very much. In other apps I have always cropped, resized, corrected levels and a bit of color. I am not a power user by any means and I am close to doing this all in iPhoto if I could only export the edited image to a file.
The reason I want to do this is because the printing portion of my work flow is to upload files to my merchant who prints them and are ready for nearby pickup within an hour. This is all done at a very reasonable price and the color accuracy is very close.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

You can edit from iPhoto by dragging to the desktop or exporting using the File -> Export command, setting the Kind to anything except original.
But you probably don’t need to:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
