IPhoto is not allowing the edited versions to be exported.

Apparently, there is a long-standing issue with iPhoto not keeping the edits once photos are exported.  I usually don't test my exports to see if the edited version was exported correctly.  I just assume Apple products are working as they should.  But I tested today and discovered what so many of you have discovered - iPhoto is not allowing the edited versions to be exported.  I can't see that Apple has addressed this.  What is going on here?  Side Note:  I am also frustrated that Apple took iDVD out of their line-up of available preloaded software.  Getting more disappointed with Apple all the time.
Has someone figured out how to easily get around this obvious flaw?
Could it have something to do with the preference of importing the photos into the iPhoto Library. Should I uncheck this in the preferences menu?  I really only want to use iPhoto for quick renaming of files and simple editing purposes and then export them to my own method of organizing and back-up.  I use Photoshop for more extensive editing.  Would really like to continue using a simple method, but so far, this simple method is more work than is necessary for Apple's software.  Come on guys!!!!!

1 - there is NO " long-standing issue with iPhoto not keeping the edits once photos are exported." If you are doing things correctly it is trivial to export edited versions (or originals if you prefer)
2 - it is strongly recommended that you do not uncheck the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library - unchecking this preference makes operation much more difficult and makes upgrading hardware or moving to a new system almost impossible
3 - you are doing something wrong - since you do not tell us what you are doing - or even what version of iPhoto you have - it is impossible to u hfigure out what you are doing wrong
exactly how are you exporting photos?  Exactly how are you using PhotoShop for editing?
The proper way to eidt using PS is to set PS as the external editor, edit in PS and save (not save as) to return the edited version correctly to iPhoto?  The best way to export is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) - the default is you get the current (edited) version

  • Lightroom 4 - My Nik filters are not in the Edit version of Elements when I want to edit with cmd+E.

    Lightroom 4 - My Nik filters are not in the Edit version of Elements when I want to edit a picture from the Lightroom Bibliotheque with cmd+E, because Ligthtroom use a back up copy of Ellements 11 that is on an extern back up drive (i don't understand how that is possible). My Nik filters are not on that drive but well on my Mac's Hard Disc.
    How can I tell to Lightroom to use the Mac's Hard Disc version that is in the Dock ?

    Of course my Nik filters are why the Dock version of my Mac.
    The question is that I don't know why, Lightroom when I want to edit a picture in Elements (cmd+e), Lightroom start un security copy of Elements that I have put on my extern hard disk and that copy is without the Nik filters.
    So how can I tell to Lightroom NOT to use the version of Element that is on extern hard disk but the original version on the hard disk of my Mac in the map Applications ?

  • I purchased a Pixma Pro-100. My prints do not reflect the edited images from CS6/LR5.

    I just got a Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer. I'm running CS6 and LR5. My monitors are calibrated, my color space is Adobe RGB (1998). I want the Photoshop /LR to manage my color. I (believe) am using the correct profile for the Canon paper (Pro Luster). However, my prints do not reflect the edited versions I am viewing on my monitors. The colors are darker, dull, a bit on the reddish side, and not as vivid as what I am expecting. Is there anyone out there who can guide me to the proper way to set the up my printer and color space? I this is very confusing to me.

    You don't need any additional gadgets to set up your monitor(s) and the printer.  Mostly you will just frustrate yourself and waste a lot of ink and paper.  Stop wasting your time with them, too.
    You do need to get three things set carefully.  You need the brightness, the contrast and the grey-scale set right for the printer.
    Big point to remember you are dealing with two completely different types of color.  One is light and the other is dyes.  They will never match exactly except for maybe one or two colors at a time.  I generally shoot for flesh tones as that is what people notice mostly.
    Always check the details and never let the printer do any color managing.  All Canon printers I have worked with have a reddish bias.  You can not or at least it is very difficult to get rid of it.  Canon engineers seem to prefer a warm tone in their printers.
    I curently use three of the Canon Pro printers form the 9000, 9500 II amd the 100.  All are great printers.  But right now what you are seeing and what you are sending to the printer is different.  These need to match or you need to know what to adjust in PS to make them match.  Don't use LR to print, it isn't as good as PS and it will be different.  If you must, stick to either/or but not both.   I prefer PS.
    Always shoot RAW and use ACR to convert in either LR or PS but I always print from PS.
    Let me know how you get along.

  • IPhoto '11 Edits are lost while thumbnails still shows the edited version

    Hi,
    I'm using iPhoto '11 v9.4.3 ( Build 720.91) on Mac OS X v10.8.5 and have my iPhoto Library on a external HDD. One month back, I had moved to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 but then reverted back to Mountain Lion and iPhoto v9.4.3 ( with the help of iPhoto Library Manager v4.0.9 ) due to performance issues on my iMac. Ever since I have been having some inconsistencies in my iPhoto Library, specifically w.r.t. the edits.
    iPhoto does seem to retain my edits after a while. Though the thumbnail view ( or browse mode ) shows the edited version of the file, however double-clicking the file opens up the original unmodified version ( in the edit or single photo view mode ).
    Browse Mode - below
    Single Photo View Mode - below
    For the first time, the problem seemed to get resolved for a while, if I do a Repair Permissions on the iPhoto Library ( by pressing Option + Command ). However, now even that has no effect. Even after reparing permissions, Everytime I use the "Repair Permissions" option, I see the iPhoto message "There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto Library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?". Also, The File ->Reveal in Finder menu shows that the "Modified File" option is greyed out.
    I have tried the following so far ..
    1. Repair Permissions using iPhoto : Used to solve the issue earlier, but no effect now.
    2. Repair Library using iPhoto : No joy
    3. Manualy changed the permissions for the iPhoto Library & its contents using Terminal command ( sudo chmod -R 777 * ) : No joy
    This had happened 2 weeks earlier too, and was only resolved by deleting the whole Event and re-importing the files as a new event and then editing the files which has stuck so far without any issues.
    Any suggestions ??
    Regards,
    RP.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear.  Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not).  But they no longer appear as a recent import.  Lots more happens

    Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear.  Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not).  But they no longer appear as a recent import.  Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues.  I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
    Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • After editing a RAW photo in PE13 (my External Editor) sent from Apple's iPhoto, I can not reimport the edited photo bank into my iPhoto library. The "Import to Library" command is greyed out. This was not the case before the latest PE13 RAW update versio

    After editing a RAW photo in PE13 (my External Editor) originally sent from Apple's iPhoto, I can not reimport the edited photo back into my iPhoto library. The
    "Import to Library" command is greyed out. This was not the case until the latest PE13 update (Camera Raw Version 8.7.1.311). What needs to be done
    to reimport edited photos back into my iPhoto library? Ideas?

    Launch PSE Expert Mode and go to:
    Photoshop Elements Editor >> Preferences >> Saving Files (tab)
    Set the drop-down dialog
    On First Save : Save Over Current File
    Click OK.
    When you have finished editing in PSE use Cmd+S to save (not Save As)

  • I'm editing a lot of wedding photos.  For some reason, I have to double click on some of the photos to actually see my changes.  It is not the case for all the photos in the folder.... only some of them.  How can I make all the edited versions show?

    I am editing a bunch of wedding photos.  Everything has been fine until today..... I opened up the folder, and for some of the edited photos, I have to double click in order to see the edited version.  So, when I look at all the photos in the browser, some of then show my changes..... others don't.  I'm worried, because I will have to post them for the bride, and I am concerned about why this is happening.  I still have the images on the memory card and also have a duplicate of all the photos in iphoto..... but I've spent hours editing these photos...... and I really don't want to start all over again.

  • IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library.  When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it.  I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

    I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
    recreate the library I believe.  It's been a while so I cant remember
    exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
    have had no problems with it.

  • After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

    After doing some editing in Lightroom I want to continue the edit in CS 5 but Lightroom is not exporting the edited version, this has not happened before, what am I doing wrong please? anybody

    You should be getting an error message that PS CS5 requires a higher version of ACR with two options "render using Lightroom" or "open anyway". You should choose the first option. If you are not seeing the error message then go to your Lightroom prefrences >General Tab> under Prompts> select "Reset all warning dialogs", then try the edit in function again. 

  • If I post a photo on Photostream, then edit it in iPhoto, will the edited version replace the original?

    I am working with RAW photos. If iPhoto uploads immediately to Photostream after adding pics and then I edit the photo, will the edited version replace the original on Photostream?

    Yes.
    If you want to do this to squeeze more songs onto a device then take advantage of the feature to downsample as songs are transferred. Device > Summary tab > Convert higher bitrate songs to to 128kbps AAC
    If you're running out of room on your library's hard drive then it is time to buy a bigger drive.

    Hi,
    Not sure if any of you above have managed to solve your problem or not but after coming across this same problem myself today as I am currently 'sofa bound' I decided to make it my mission to find a way around it.
    Initially I did think, having ready what seemed like a million questions and people with the same problem, that the only way was to buy OS X 10.5 ... HOWEVER, no. In among all these threads I found a jewel - Download I Tunes 9.2.1 which gets rid of the download itunes 10 advert and allows you to then buy from itunes again :-)  I am now one very happy lady.
    I apologise to all those that dont have older versions of OS X that maybe wont support even this upgrade but certainly for those like me with just 4yr old lap tops at least it means it not longer means buying a new one.
    Hope this helps son very frustrated people like myself - so much for apple support!
