IPhoto iOS workflow help

I have an iMac with Lion and iPhoto 11 (iLife 11) on. I also have an iPad 2, and now iPhoto for iOS.
So when I bought iPhoto iOS I thought what it would be would be an extension of iPhoto 11 on my iMac. What I mean is to help me edit, organise, fix my photos without being tied to my iMac.
So I thought the premise would be to sync some photos from my iMac to my iPad for on the go, do what I wanted with them, tag them, edit them, fix red eye, label them etc etc and then sync/copy back to my iMac for saving in my iPhoto library.
So I'm a little confused. What is it for, or how can I do the above? Surely lots of people want to do this sort of thing? I understand that photos taken on the iPad or iPhone via photo stream/iCloud could be edited, but ultimately they would want syncing back to the "home ship" of a Mac for use/backing up on a iPhoto library?
Cheers

I think we all got caught in some euphoria after watching the iPhoto for iOS demo at the new iPad event last week. It all looked so slick. But it seems, and the MacWorld review stated it first, that iPhoto for iOS is a hobbyist app that allows someone to work with a few photos albums on their iPad or iPhone and share them to social media. It is definitely not an app that even a dedicated photographer would use let alone a semi pro or pro. And as we are finding out iPhoto for iOS definitely does not work with the Mac version.
I purchased iPhoto the day it w released but should have waited until I read some of the posts here in this forum. I used iPhoto a lot the first few days it was out, and pretty much tried every feature it had. But now that a week has gone by I've gone back to the app I depended on before iPhoto for iOS. That app is PhotoForge2.

Viewing Aperture library items in iPhoto as workflow help

I wanted to view my Aperture library jpegs in iPhoto without opening Aperture. The reason for this is to use iPhoto to review my pictures and to open in an external editor from iPhoto. We use Fireworks in designing web sites and newsletters. I did not want to save to another folder which takes up space. The workflow requires the use of Fireworks, crop out what we need from or graphics/pictures and place in the final work for Dreamweaver.
I opened the Aperture library content and dragged the image folders to iPhoto. It did take the pictures and gave a notice for the files that were not imported. These were jpeg files, not the raw. Advantage is that the Aperture library is now the one resource for our workflow. I can switch from FireWorks to Photoshop when needed. We did not try this with the Raw files, but I suppose that could be done too. Opening the raw in PS would be helpful to some workflows.
I thought this was a good tip. It has saved us quite a bit of time and is easy to use.

I'm not sure I understand. If you're using iPhoto to review and edit jpg files you've pretty much nuked any reason to use Aperture at all. It also means that edited copies of your images are not tracked as versions and aren't backed up in the vault. Can you explain a little more what your workflow is?
I'm do not want versions tracked in Aperture in this case. I want samples of textures or parts of image available for use in designing other graphics. We are in the graphics studio and want to open files in FireWorks, crop/marque out parts and paste to another FireWorks file. I have iPhoto set up to open externally in Fireworks. Think of it as needing 'clip art' out of picture in the library.
What we are doing is designing banners for web sites and newsletters. I might want a horizon/sunset only as a background to blend into the banner. I have iPhoto open already along with Fireworks and Dreamweaver. No need to have Aperture or any other program open now. iPhoto has the jpegs..... click to open in FireWorks, marque, copy and past the parts I want into the banner design.
Before that I had to have a resource folder of jpegs. The Aperture library can now store jpegs and access them from iPhoto. I have to hunt quickly through hundreds of image we have store for each texture and different subjects for these banner creations.
Hope this helps. We just need small parts of any given image. This was a good solution. I'm sure there are others too.

Workflow with RAW files iPhoto iOS

I shoot in Nikon RAW (.nef) and want to use my camera connection kit and new iPad to do a first pass on editing/deleting photos before I pass them to my Mac. I tried shooting a few photos in raw and then edited them but when I sent them via the "Send to iTunes" feature in iOS iPhoto they only sent a small JPG version of the photo. What I like to happen is the RAW file sent with editted embeded JPG. What process/workflow should I take so I don't get a bunch of duplicates (RAW + JPG) files?
Any best practice appreciated. I find that using iPhoto iOS is a more intuitive approach to first pass editing/deleting sort of like a cutting board.
Thanks.

iPhoto for iOS does not edit RAW files. When it encounters a RAW file iPhoto for iOS works only with the embedded jpg. If you only shoot RAW the embedded jog is a very small file.
My suggestion is to keep your photos on your camera's card. You an copy them to you iPad for a look see and decide which you might not want to keep but I'd do all my editing on the Mac side for those RAW files.

Is there a workflow from iPhoto/iOS to Aperture 3

What I need is a workflow from iPhoto/iOS to Aperture 3, such as
1. import images to iPad
2. rate & modify pictures
3. import to Aperture 3 the original images incl. rating and modifications (but not any modified copies)
I understood that's only possible between iPhoto apps on iOS devices - true?
Any (not too fancy) workaround available?
Thanks for every hint.

Who creates the Photo Box album in iPhoto iOS 7.1?

I just noticed an album in iPhoto iOS 7.1 that is titled "Photo Box." How is it created?

It is one of the automatically created albums, see this help page:
What are albums? http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkb9b1e2a
Photo Box: If a photo appears in an album (Edited, Favorites, Journals, or custom) and you delete the photo from your device, the photo remains in the album. If you remove the photo’s edits and tags, or delete the photo from the journal, iPhoto moves the photo to the Photo Box album (and removes it from the album it was in). If you edit or tag a photo in the Photo Box album, or add it to a journal, the photo is removed from the Photo Box album (and added to the appropriate album).
Basically, iPhoto keeps photos in this album, if they are needed for products.

It would be nice if you told others the steps you've tried and/or how you used to have your setup.
Anyway have you tried tapping MORE this will then bring you to
the selection-list of Audiobooks, Genres, Compilations & Composers.
Selecting Genres gives you a list of all your music split into genres which was set within the Music downloaded via iTunes or uploaded from CD or which you may have set yourself.
Then you just select the Genre you want:
If certent songs are not correctly gategorised you may need to go into iTunes and reselect via Get-info
>Info>Genre and change it there. That way you should end up with all songs of Jazz or other in 1 place.

If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups. See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
Mail should work, however, per the blue box there.

No. DV is not 1920x1080. It is 720x576.
will i lose any quality?
Yes...if you use those settings. Well, if FCP even lets you.
or should i cut it all in a prores sequence
Yes....cut in a ProRes sequence.

HT204022 I have iPhoto, iOS, etc. all up to date.... however my iPad, iPhone, and Mac PhotoStreams all contain different pictures and aren't the same. Any ideas why? I'd rather not reset the whole thing if I don't have too.

OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

Move iPhoto 9 library to iPhoto 11 please help?

I wan´t to move my iPhoto 9 library from my old computer, to my new computer with iPhoto 11 please help me?

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Why can't I delete photos from iPhoto (ios)

The whole point of the app seems to be to edit and organize photos, so if I've taken the time to hide some number of photos, why can't I then delete these? Instead I have to go to the Photo app and delete them there, which doesnt show me any of the tagging or organizing I spent time on in iphoto... It should at least then show me "hidden" photos in Photo so I can delete them there, or let me delete from iphoto and it just removes it from Photo after, it seems pretty simple. Why has iphoto (ios) been limited in this way?

Adunn83 I agree, this needs to addressed by apple in the next update. You should be able to delete photos that are on the iPad camera roll from within iPhoto, end of discussion.
This stops the iPad being a pc replacement without this and iPhoto on the iPad was why I bought the largest iPad and not a mac, I'm not impressed and it should be a simple fix.
Does anyone know how we can let apple know to add this to the next update I tried to look how to email the developer but it just went thought to apple support and wanted to phone me. I just want to let the developers know its something customers want fixing, do the iphoto developers read this forum ?

Under which conditions and when does iPhoto IOS sync to iPhoto Mac

Hi,
iPhoto iOS is really great to work with. Unfortunaltely an edited Photo in iOS version never shows up in iPhoto Mac version. An deleted Photo on iOS will not be deleted on iPhoto Mac. I have around 18000 photos.
I can not imagine that this is by default....
Is there any document which explains a bit more what to do ?
Here is what I tried:
I hoped this changed photo will get synced via iCloud , but ths did not wok.
-I plugged in the iPad via ISB , made a sync.
-I deleted all photos on the iPad and resynced them.
-I deleted the iOS Photo cache and resync all photos.
Till now without any success.
Any ideas ?
Does it work on your side or do you have the same problem ?
Thx you so much in advance
Andreas

I have this same query. I was hopeing changes you made on either version (iPhoto for ios or mac) would push to each other. Is there a way to make this happen? i.e. you delete and enhance some photos in iPhoto (ios) and they sync to the mac verion, so both versions contain the same changes, amount of photos, etc.
Thank you to anyone who replys.

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.
