Iphoto picasa

Hello - I would like to upload my pictures in iPhoto to my Picasa account. Does anybody know, if there is a quick way to do this? There used to be a Picasa Web Album Uploader for iPhoto - like this: http://picasa-web-albums.en.softonic.com/mac/download - but this doesn't work for me, I can't install it on my MacBook Pro, OX10.8.4?? Please help
I would like to do it this way, but is it possible?: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20084938-285/how-to-upload-photos-to-picasa- from-iphoto/?refresh=1375394868559#postComments

No idea - I do not use Picasa - probably a good question for the Picasa support web forum - or give it a try and see

IPhoto & Picasa Confusion

Hi, I'm a user of Google Picasa. Just shifted to a Macbook a week ago.
I have all my photos sorted out in folders. When i try to import these folders into iPhoto,
1. I loose the entire folder structure
2. Inspite of deselecting the 'Copy Photos to Library' option, the size of iPhoto library increases massively with every import. So i use up twice the space, one for my original pictures folder, and one for the library.
Is there no way that iPhoto can just 'Look' at my Folder structure as picasa does ? In case of picasa, changes made directly to the folder structure show up in the picasa library, and vice versa.
One more question, After I've imported all my pictures into the Library, is it OK to delete the folders from the Pictures Folder ? Even if i backup using timemachine, if for some reason my iPhoto Library goes corrupt, my entire collection is lost right ? I gotta say that the folders way of handling thing seems more reliable to me. Or am i just making things too complicated?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First things to make clear: iPhoto is not Picasa - nor vice versa.
Many folks coming over from Windows reflexively want to have the files in their own folders and manage them themselves. This is *not the best way to use iPhoto*. If you’re concerned about disk space then the duplicates to remove are your own filing structure. However, don‘t do this today. I think the best thing you can do is to create an iPhoto Library - Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' - and import maybe 100 pics into it and explore the app. Then when you feel more comfortable with it, bring the rest of the pics in.
I’m going to do this in reverse:
After I've imported all my pictures into the Library, is it OK to delete the folders from the Pictures Folder ?
Absolutely NOT if you’re running iPhoto with ‘Copy Files to the Library on Import unchecked. This is a Referenced Library and it means you have opted to manage the files yourself. If iPhoto is managing the files (‘Copy Files to the Library on Import is checked ) then yes it is. But consider my note above.
I gotta say that the folders way of handling thing seems more reliable to me. Or am i just making things too complicated?
iPhoto does absolutely nothing to your Photos on import. It simply makes a byte by byte copy of the files and stores them in - guess what - folders. The iPhoto Library is actually a special kind of folder, called a Unix Package File. Right Click on it and select ‘Show Package Contents’ from the resulting menu. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
So, if iPhoto goes west, you can still recover your original files easily.
A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three core folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
2. Inspite of deselecting the 'Copy Photos to Library' option, the size of iPhoto library increases massively with every import. So i use up twice the space, one for my original pictures folder, and one for the library.
Your camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". No photo app with editing can respect this flag, so iPhoto, seeing the flag, reads the intention and creates a modified version. If you then try to Revert to Original, iPhoto will remove the edited version. However, when it then looks at the Original file again, it sees the flag, and creates a new rotated version. This loop will run as long as you Revert to the Original. The solution is to either a: turn off the Auto-Rotate feature on your camera or b: rotate the photos prior to importing them to iPhoto.
A Comment on Referenced Libraries - that is, when you Uncheck ‘Copy Files on Import...’
In this mode iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, *you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system*.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, *I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers*.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: 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!
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. 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.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
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.
Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of all the ramifications. By all means post back if you require more info.
1. I loose the entire folder structure
You can quickly recreate your current folder structure in iPhoto. Start at the bottom of your hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Source (or left-hand) pane. Iphoto will create an Album of those images. You can create the enclosing Folders in iPhoto (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album of images to the folder. Repeat as necessary.
So, if you have a date based folder structure Folder-> 2008, Folder -> January, Date Januar1, January 2 etc. You can quickly mimic this in iPhoto.
That said, if you have a date-based folder structure it’s a total waste of time doing this in iPhoto. You can find the pics from any day, month or year using the Calendar tool - Click on the Magnifying Glass in the Search Box and select the Calendar) or by using Smart Albums: (File -> New Smart Album)
The Great strength of iPhoto is that you can manage your Photos independently of the files that contain them.
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums exensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 20k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

IPhoto Says iPhone Locked, But It Isn't--Can't Download Photos

How do I download photos from my iPhone 3G when iPhoto, Picasa, and Image Capture are all asking me to unlock my phone using my passcode, but my phone is unlocked! This happened after I reauthorized my MacBook (may be a red herring). Everything else appears to be working fine. Thanks

far as I can see the apps I've got do not add up to the 12GB memory which my phone should have?!
Exactly, how much do they add up to?

The pictures i just dumped into iPhoto are HUGE!

Hi! I just shot pictures of a very important soccer championship. I came home, plugged camera in, opened iPhoto (which used to open automatically) and imported all pictures from camera. I chose 'delete originals from camera.'
Then I went to Picasa and uploaded them there to share with my boss who would then be able to put them on his website for the team. I noticed some were rejected and the entire storage bank for pics was full.
When I investigated a little further, I realized that all of the pics are over 4MB ea!
I don't know why they're so huge and have no idea how to change them.
Can anyone help??
Thanks,
Christine

When it comes to Picasa or iPhoto the simple advice is to pick on horse and ride it. You're using two apps to do the same job and things are fallign through the cracks:
With the last pics I took for him, I must have uploaded directly to Picasa because I'm not finding those in my iPhoto library.
You can upload to Picasa Web Albums from iPhoto, - google for the iPhoto Picasa plug-in - or just use the standard uploader - the first of these here:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. 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:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
AS for the size of the images, that's entirely a setting on your camera.

Wireless transfer of photos from camera to Macbook Pro (help)

Im sorry if this might not be the correct place to ask about it but Im going to give it a try.
I know this can be done because professionals are doing it across the globe already.
I just purchased a Canon 50D along with a WFT-E3A wireless transmitter. I shoot professional Lacrosse in Chicago and for the first time will be trying out the possibility of sending photos straight from my camera to my new Macbook Pro. If this works then my next purchase is going to be the WFT-E2 and a Canon 1D MK III to complete the process.
The main idea is that I will be doing shooting all over the arena and just sending them back to my laptop and having my assistant taking care of post processing of them and then uploading to a website.
But now comes the fun part.
Because this is one step above me setting up a normal wireless network like I have at home for me to get onto the internet. I don't really know where to start on setting up a specific network and configuring it to just have the camera and computer "talk" to each other.
My thoughts are that I would like to have one specific network setup for my laptop at the games when shooting. And then just bring it back home and switch it back over to the normal network I have set up to get my internet wirelessly.
I have been talking with several Genius people here in Madison and was told there are two types of networks to set up, Ad Hoc and Infrastructure.
I have been told to set it up an infrastructure network because this is going to give me widest range for me to be further away from my computer.
The question that is puzzling most of the Genius people and myself is this. Should I have one or several base stations placed somewhere in the arena between me and the computer helping me out so I don't lose signal between the two devices?
If that is the case how would I set up the base station in order to relay or transmit the signal from my laptop to my camera?
After I get this portion all set up I think it isn't going to be an issue of getting the camera to talk with my laptop. But that is another issue that I will need to pose to other photographers or maybe a canon rep directly.
Ok Im all ears now!
Thanks,
Ross

There is more than one date that can be associated with an image, and I think you're running into different programs displaying different dates. This is not a comprehensive list but:
Capture date: Date and time the photo was recorded by the camera clock, stored in EXIF camera data.
Created date: Date and time the photo was first saved to disk by photo software on a computer
Modified date: Date and time the edited photo was last saved to disk by photo software on a computer
Archived date: I'm not really sure but I see this in detailed photo information too.
Furthermore, these dates can be stored in various additional date fields in other IPTC metadata sections, and various software might not write or read them in the same ways as other software.
But what I think is going on in your case is that the iPhoto Info panel is displaying the Capture Date from the camera recorded EXIF data, but what you see in the Finder are the Created and Modified dates.
If I'm right, then LexSchellings' column suggestion may not work because all you would get is the File Created date, not the camera recorded Capture Date. I do not know of a way to display camera EXIF capture date in the Finder. Generally, organizing photos using that data is done using a photo management app like iPhoto, Picasa, Apple Aperture, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, Media Pro, etc., not on the desktop.
If you were able to view the Capture Date in Windows Explorer, then that's an advantage that Windows Explorer (the desktop) had over the Finder. I've seen other cases where the Finder couldn't do something Windows Explorer could, so I wouldn't be surprised.
As far as the duplicates, I don't really know but I did a search at macupdate.com and you might want to check some of these utilities that can help resolve duplicates.

macupdate.com is a great place to look for Mac software if you didn't find it in the Mac App Store.

Transfer of Pictures from PC to MacBook Pro

Two questions. I recently bought a MacBook Pro and successfully transferred pictures from our PC. Although photographs in IPhoto retain the dates on which they were originally taken, those in Pictures only have the date on which they were transferred, ie 'created', entirely unhelpful. How do I access the original date on which the photographs were taken, not available under Info?
Second question, more complicated, duplication of photographs in IPhoto and Pictures: is there a simple way of merging them? We used to download pictures from IPhone onto our PC under date folders, without realising they were being duplicated. Identifical pictures appear in about 6 different folders - how I can I edit them without having to do so manually?
Any help (not too technical) gratefully received.

Bug in Preview's Exif viewer (inverted GPS coordinates)?

Hi,
I've been scratching my head quite a lot over this one...
I'm finalizing an application that gets your GPS coordinates off your Google Latitude history and uses them to geotag your pictures. The idea is to make it easier to use the "Places" functionality of iPhoto, Picasa, etc...
Anyway, I cannot explain why Preview seems to display an incorrect longitude (it drops the "-" sign which places a California picture somewhere in China...) when Exiftool, Picasa and, yes, even iPhoto seem to get it right.
I know some of you will probably think I'm looking at 2 different pictures (I probably would think the same if I were you) but I've double, triple checked. In fact a simple "Show in finder" from iPhoto or Picasa will bring up the picture for me to double-click.
Anyway, see for yourself:
The picture in question
Exiftool
in iPhoto
in Picasa
in Preview
Any feedback appreciated.

However, that would not explainwhy the very complete exiftool output is spotless (as far as I can tell). IPhoto and Picasa also get it right...
That's all well and good. But even if you have smoking-gun evidence that there is a bug in Preview (and it isn't a show-stopping bug either), it will be months, if not years until said bug is fixed. Until then, your output will not work in Preview. So, in any case, you are going to have to modify your code to produce output that Preview can read. Other applications are able to produce such files that Preview can understand. What is the difference?
My advice is to continue working with other tools to generate identical files with identical tags. Then find the difference in output between the other tool and yours. That should identify where the bug lies.

5d Mark III not downloading RAW

Got my 5D Mark III a couple of days back. I took a few pictures in RAW-JPEG. While I tried to download, it launches EOS Utility(latest version) and hangs. I tried the same CF card on 40D and it was able to import without problem. I tried other software like Picasa, Adobe Bridge, iPhoto, Picasa and Adobe are not able to connect to the camera. EOS Utility is able to connect and I was able to remotely control the camera and take photos. I was able to download JPEG only files as well. But when it comes to Raw, the software goes unresponsive and loses connection. Once in a while everything works fine as well (even RAW), that is the strange part
My Computer and softwares are up-to-date. Infact the 5D MIII I got through CPS Load worked fine without issues. I also made sure the CF Card and Cable are also fine.
Is it a known problem? or should I return the camera. Thanks in advance for your response

As Stephen said, any additional info about your system will help indeed.
In my case I'm using Win XP 32 bit in this machine and don't have any problems at all to download RAW+JPG.
I'm using the bundled software that came with the camera (CD/DVD), still didn't update it.
- Just in case, why don't you try uninstalling EOS Utility software and all its additional components, and reinstall it again from the CD/DVD? At least to discard a software malfunction.
- BTW, we found that many USB cables worked fine with 5D Mark II but not with 5D Mark III. After changing the USB cable we were able to connect the camera to the computer without any problem. Sounds weird, but after some use the connectors of some USB cables loosen and don't work properly on some cameras or devices.

Looking for an application that works like windows photo gallery?

I switched to Mac and love it except for photos.
I basicly upload a batch of photos to a folder named temp, then tag each photo and drag them to their appropriate folders an eventually delete said folder, is there any application that works like this? Minus iPhoto,picasa,lightroom or adobe bridge?

Then I tag or name the person and drag them to albums but the event stats there.
I presume you mean the Event "stays" there.
Like iTunes, iPhoto is a database that works on a Library principle. All items are in the Library, each playlist is a subset of the Library.
So in iPhoto, all Photos are in the Library and each Album is a subset of the Library.
Events are just a view of the Library, broken by the date and time the pics were taken. Don't want to see them? Click on the Photos heading for a view of the Library as a single unit, not broken into Events.
And I have to import the Photis everytime, why cAnt I add photos to pictures directory and iPhoto will see them?
Because you might not want everything in your Pictures Folder in iPhoto.
But seriously: How much more difficult is it to drag the photos to
the iPhoto icon in the Dock
or
the iPhoto Window
or
use the File -> Import command
than to drag the photos to the Pictures Folder?
You might want to have a quick look at the tutorials at
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto
Thye may help you understand the basic concepts.

How to use keyword tags effectively in pse 8

No matter what I try, have not been able to make keyword tags work effectively. Have followed all directions from books and others. Even customer support was not able to help.
The problem is that tagged photos will not show up by themselves. All other photos in the catalog open at the same time. The tagged photos sometimes show a blue circle with a white check mark through it. All the other photos show a red circle with a slash accross it in the upper left hand corner of the photos.
Customer support says that that is how the program works. I don't believe it!
Wold uninstalling and reinstalling pse 8 work?
Any other suggestions?

Would you consider suggesting a work-flow for someone who is just starting out with Organizer? (As an aside, if you are familiar with Picasa, would you give your opinion about the relative merits of Picasa and PSE Organizer?)
In all honesty, I can longer recommend the Organizer -- it's buggy, slow, hard to use, and Adobe shows little inclination for fixing bugs that have been around since PSE 6 or earlier. (I use it because I have large catalogs dating back to Photoshop Album 1.) See my review:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R332BXA5A70OL9/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
As for alternatives: At the low end, many people are satisfied with the free or almost-free programs: iPhoto, Picasa, Windows Live Photo Gallery (which in my opinion is better than iPhoto). These are fast and easier to use than PSE and can handle thousands of photos. For more sophisticated users with larger catalogs, many people like Lightroom, Aperture, Imatch, Idimager, and ACDsee Pro.

Can use geotagged photos in iWeb?

IPhone freezes every time i hit home

Updated to 1.1.1 last night. Today I experience constant freezes everytime I use "Mail" or any other App. A couple of times it's spontaneously reboots. I;ve had to hard reboot everytime I check email!!!!
I want 1.0.2 back again. Anyone else experiencing this?

If you restore on the same computer that you have been syncing to you will not lose contacts, mail settings, calendar, etc. What you WILL lose is any photos on the camera roll that have not been synced to a desktop photo library (e.g., iPhoto, Picasa) and passwords for mail and WiFi networks. So sync photos and remember passwords.

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto. I get the following error message:
Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported because they could not be read [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
Thumbnails show up. LR just will not import them.
Any idea what is going wrong?

If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

Can you print more than one photo on a sngle page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa?

iPhoto printing--
Can you print more than one photo on a single page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa? Terrible waste of paper and time to do it one at a time! I 've been away from Macs for several years ( I know, shame on me) but I thought I remembered more printing flexibility. Help, anyone?

Yes - select the photos and print - select the print size and paper size (be sure they will fit with some small borders) and click customize - in settings select multiple photos per page (the preview will reflect this selection) and print

How do I transfer photos from Picasa to iphoto?

How do I transfer photos from Picasa (Google) to iphoto?

Did you ever figure this out? I have 400 photos sent to me from my nephew in Picasa and I want to move them to IPhoto. Picasa seems to let me do it but only 1 photo at a time..ugh.
