IPhoto - Please Help Problem Sorting Photos

Hi everyone,
I imported pictures into iphoto that had been taken with 2 different cameras, but all have similar dates within a certain time span. I imported my own pictures on the 6. October and the other ones on the 8th October. Although the pictures have both been taken in September, iPhoto puts my photos in the October section and uses this as "date taken" and the other photos are sorted correctly.
The Background is that I would like to do a slide show and it is very complicated to switch between the pictures and they are around 1000 in number.
By the way, does anyone know an easy way to adopt the Ken Burns effect of iphoto and then edit text and a audio track in imovie? I was used to Magix Video, which is really simple in handling and now on the mac I think imovie takes such a long time for rendering.
Thank you for your answers.

Yes, you can take advantage of the Ken Burns effect for a slideshow in iMovie. Just export the slideshow you made in iPhoto, and then it will be a Quicktime movie that you can import into iMovie to add audio and text to it.
If I understand correctly, your photos show a date in October instead of September. If you select all of the photos whose date you want to change, you can apply the date change to all of them at once. You can do this in the "information" window that toggles in the lower left corner of iPhoto.
Please let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

iPhoto: How can I sort photos within an event. I can't figure out how to activate the Manual Sort button.

Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album

Please help! My photos are g-o-n-e!

Please help!!
First, let me mention that I am not a very tech-savvy person. I received my macbook pro as a gift when I graduated 2 years ago, and know a lot less about it than I probably should. That being said, I DO love taking photographs. I shoot senior portraits, weddings, lifestyle photos, and recently returned from living abroad in Venice, Italy, so as you can imagine...my computer has collected a large amount of photos. We're talking like, 21,000 photos large. This, of course, led to multiple pop-up windows everyday which read "Startup disc almost full" and very slow performance. So before I could get my hands on an external harddrive, I tried to delete what photos I could from my pictures folder in applications (not iphoto). This is were things get fuzzy for me. I selected "all" and dragged my pictures file into the trash. I also read that you can increase performance speed by emptying the trash, which I proceeded to do after dumping my pictures folder in(do you see where I'm going with this?). A few minutes later, I went to snag a photo out of my iphoto, but to my dismay, my IPHOTO was the folder that was being deleted in the trash. My trash said that about 7% of the emptying process was completed, so I immediately canceled out. Unfortunately, I have not since seen one of my 21,000 photos. I'm heartbroken! Among Venice photos, I had birth photos and lots of other sentimental pictures that now seem forever lost. Right now, I don't have money to go to a professional to seek help, so I'm hoping and praying some of you can dumb down some sort of process that will recover my photos! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any and all suggestions you might have...I can use all the help I can get!!

* I forgot to mention, now when I go into my finder under the pictures folder, an icon that looks like a dog-earred blank piece of paper appears. It's labeled as "iphoto library". When I click on it, it says "iphoto library--bash--80x24" and when it is minimized and i rest my mouse over the icon, it reads "Terminal" (that doesnt sound too good). I don't know what any of this means, but if you have a clue, let me know!

It's regrettable that you deleted files without having backed them up first. The first thing you need to do is back up what's left of your data. You can do that with Time Machine or by other means, but you need an external hard drive to hold the data.
Whatever you did delete without backups is most likely gone forever. You could send your hard drive to a data-recovery firm, but the service will be very expensive and may not recover anything. The less you do with the computer before then, the better the chance of success.
The iPhoto library is corrupted and you won't be able to open it. You may be able to extract what's left of the images, but first you have to back up.

IPhoto copies, Export problem, upload photos

HELP!!! I definitely need your expertise.
Here is the background:
- I wanted to upload photos onto Kodak Gallery through ofoto Express. Since Ofoto can upload pictures from iPhoto, so i went to organize my photos there.
- I created a new folder (let's call it "F1" ) in iPhoto and then I put new pictures into "F1" from a photo CD, then I manually re-arranged the photo order "F1".
Then here comes all the troubles:
1) Can I resize all the photos in this "F1" album all the once? If so, how do I do that?
2) When I put pictures into this "F1" , I notice the Library, film roll and 2005 also have a copy of my photos except they are all out of order, why is that?
3) Can I just keep one copy of "F1" without having so many duplicated copies elsewhere such as under the YEAR or keywords?
4) Are there good and faster way to upload all 300 full size photos?
5) From the album "F1" I created, I tried to do EXPORT all the photos too, but all the photos that was exported were out of order and not in the right orientation, what can I do and what is the function of this Export then?
6) How come the Duplicate photo function in iPhoto only put the copy right next to the original? Can I have a seperate duplicated folder? When I made duplicate, I found that the library also have the duplication and once I deleted one copy out of two, it deleted the original image in my "F1" album. I don't understand.
7) How come I cannot just make a "copy" of "F1" album to my desktop?
PLEASE HELP, I am so lost!!! Am I the only one that has this problem?
Thanks,
MC

Hi Michelle, I will try to answer some of your questions...
Then here comes all the troubles:
1) Can I resize all the photos in this "F1" album all the once? If so, how do I do that?
You resize the photo when they are exported, not while they are within iPhoto.
2) When I put pictures into this "F1" , I notice the Library, film roll and 2005 also have a copy of my photos except they are all out of order, why is that?
I don't know about the out of order part, but it could be that the album you made you manually moved the images where you wanted them. In the library, roll, and year view, the View is set globally by what you chose under the View menu
3) Can I just keep one copy of "F1" without having so many duplicated copies elsewhere such as under the YEAR or keywords?
Those aren't duplicates, they are just like an alias or a plcaehold for the real image
4) Are there good and faster way to upload all 300 full size photos?
Not really, it all depends on your connection speed. That amount of images will take a long long time
5) From the album "F1" I created, I tried to do EXPORT all the photos too, but all the photos that was exported were out of order and not in the right orientation, what can I do and what is the function of this Export then?
This has been a problem for many people including me. There have been work arounds listed here on the discussions by Old Toad. You must rename the images with numbers either within iPhoto as a batch change or when you export them, use the album name as a naming scheme and the images will be numbered. This order may or maynot be what you expected though. Like I said working with so many images is going to be very confusing. I will have to try and find Old Toad's solution for you.
Are you uploading these images to put in an online album or for prints. You know you can also manage them on the online album, rearranging order,naming,etc. These online places also limit the number of images for each album.
6) How come the Duplicate photo function in iPhoto only put the copy right next to the original?
So you can find it easily
Can I have a seperate duplicated folder?
yes, make an album and put the duplicates in that album
When I made duplicate, I found that the library also have the duplication and once I deleted one copy out of two, it deleted the original image in my "F1" album. I don't understand.
If you made the duplicate in an Album it will be reflected in the library.
If you delete an image from the library it will be deleted from the album too as the library is the place where all the images are kept. The albums only have place holders. If you want to work on a group of images and want the edits and names etc. to be different than the ones in the library, duplicate all the images in the library first. Make an album and move only the duplicates to the album. Now you can make your images B&W, sepia, edit, crop, etc. and all these edits will be reflected on the duplicates and not the originals n the library.
7) How come I cannot just make a "copy" of "F1" album to my desktop?
You can, but it will take some work to get it exported in the order you want. I will have to do some experimenting to see

Editing in iphoto, please help....new to mac

Hi, I need to put text (text boxes) on many of the pics I take for work....I can't seem to do this on iphoto...any suggestions...PLEASE HELP.

evassor:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't do that in iPhoto. You will need to use a 3rd party editor from within iPhoto to accomplish that . Some of those that can do what you want are Photoshop Elements, Seashore (freeware), Graphicconverter and Pixelmator. You can find a number of possible candidates at VersionTracker.com by searching there for "image editor". Here's how you would use a 3rd party editor with iPhoto:
Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto 2008 - Library Problem - ALL PHOTOS GONE!!!!

Hi all,
In installed iLife 2008, which included iPhoto v7.0. When I launch the iPhoto application, the application is completely empty, with zero photos visible.
However, when I look at the "iPhoto Library" file, within my user folder, I see that the database file is 3 GB 's large, which leads me to believe the photos are within that database file.
I'm 100% certain that iPhoto is pointing to the correct iPhoto Library file. Is there any way to access the Libary file, to pull out my photographs?
Please help!

Lol! I found the files!
It scared the poop out of me!

Help problem creating photo collage

Windows 7 and windows 8 pc, same problem. Ive been using adobe photoshop elements for months and all of a sudden when i go to make photo collage, i get the message that adobe has stopped working and windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. So far i have tried resetting it by going to Edit menu, Preferences and General and clicking reset preferences on next launch and it didn't work. I also tried different sizes of photo collages and the problem only seems to happen when using 1 size of the collage. Please Help!

Hi,
I tested iChat 5.x
The first time I set the Chat room to test monday 2 and it reported the space(s) were invalid
Changed it to testmonday2 and hit the go button.
No immediate response but just as I happened to click on a Buddy a chat window came up saying the room was empty.
I closed the window and tried to repeat but got nowhere.
I then tried the Right click and menu "Invite to Chat" and got told I had been removed from the testmondy2 room
A third attempt got a "Could not Join Chatroom "testmoday2". An undefined AIM Socket Error has occurred." message.
Each time there is a significant delay.
After pause to type this I made a 4th attempt that was successful in displaying a Chat (room) Window.
However I then tried adding a Screen name (my Second Account) but I had it open on both computers.
The Host reported a AIM error and the Second computer (the G4 I am typing this on) got the Invite but refused to let me type a reply.
A 5th attempt said I was still in the room even though I had closed it.
Followed by some delay with an Error like message saying I had been Removed.
A 6th attempt got me a new invite on the G4 but I could still not join the Chat.
Logged out of my Main name on that computer as well.
A 7th attempt.
Main Account on Mac Book Pro to Second account on G4 with no duplicate Logins was successful. There is a very long delay at both ends resolving whether I had started the Chat and could see the person (Buddy) who invite to type an Accept message.
Messages from the MacBook Pro were delayed in sending but went eventually.
Replies from the G4 were almost instant then things improved.
The upshot seems to be for me that having multiple Logins of each Screen Name on either computer confused things. Otherwise the function in iChat 5 seems to work.

Please help!! photo in wineglass in Photoshop elements 9

I am new to photoshop (or any other editing for that matter). I would love to make a picture effect of a photo in a wine glass and am about to pull my hair out trying to figure this out. I have found some instructions on the internet but am having a hard time following them. I have Photoshop elements 9. I have a picture of a beach scene that I took in Cancun. I uploaded a picture of a wine glass and cut out the wineglass using the quick selection tool and selection tool brush. That part looks pretty good. I can't figure out how to get the picture in the glass. I used the elliptical selection tool and made an oval around the picture. I tried to erase the background of the oval but couldn't figure that out. So I tried to drag the oval to the wineglass and the entire picture moved and covered the glass and the entire beach scene. I tried to do decrease opacity and erase background but that has turned into a sloppy mess. I really want to do this for a friend as a wedding gift but can't seem to figure out how and I am running out of time. Can someone please help me figure out how to do this. Maybe I am doing things in the wrong order. I don't know...but I am sure someone out there can help me. And I sure would appreciate any help I can get.

I would have got back to you earlier but one of my kids wanted on the computer. There's no school tomorrow as it's been canceled because of the blizzard here in the Midwest so I let them stay up late tonight.
You need to soften the edges of the selection. The secret to moving items onto a new background is to add a touch of feather to the selection. The quick select is an awesome tool to get a good selection but it makes hard edges so you often need to take it a step farther and add some feather. You can do that a couple of ways either with the new refine edge dialog or the select<modify<feather command. Since you have PSE 9, I would recommend using the refine edge command. I believe, in Elements that will be in the Select menu. If it isn't listed under that heading, check under the other menu headings in the menu bar.
Above using your items from your post with a slightly feathered edge selection.
Above using your items saved from your post...slightly firmer edge selection and a slight blur added to top portion of background to give it a little depth of field. I used the levels command to firm it up. I'll get into that under the firmer mask image below.
I always use masks so I can show you my actual selection using a screen grab. I started by selecting your wine glass with the quick select tool. I used the brush tool to soften the glass selection on the sides. I intentionally varied the softness for this glass because it seemed to sell the effect more.
I changed my mind and decided on firmer edges for the side of the glass. I firmed them by using the levels command on the mask. Shortcut is Ctrl + L. I used the middle gray slider in the levels command to firm up the glass selections edge.
(I posted both so you could see how the difference in a selection mask can change the blended outcome. IMO, the second mask makes the glass more realistic as the first has the glass edges just a tad too soft. You'll also notice the second image includes a copy of the background layer. I blurred the background then masked bottom portion of the blurred background to create a depth of field effect. You can pull a black to transparent gradient using the gradient tool on a mask to fade the sharp and blurred background version together.
My Couple mask is a bit sloppy but you get the idea.
Couple layer visible. I went off of everything put together not necessarily what the individual layer looked. On a larger high resolution image, I would have probably made them more opaque and also cleaned up their mask better. It's tricky working with small images.
Glass mask...screen blend mode 25% opacity. I won't post a screen grab of that layer as there isn't much to show.
Above is alternate version with couple opaque and the couple mask cleaner. I'm not sure which version I prefer...
Edit: I think I prefer this alternate couple more opaque version.
Above is alternate version with couple on their own layer.
Above is alternate version couple mask.

Still Unresolved-please help: Organizer Grid Photos below sight on screen

Thank you to those who tried to help a few days ago when I first posted this. Nothing has worked though, so I’m hoping to find a way to fix this.
Screen Shot below is from my iMac on whichI have Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.
When viewing the grid in my Organizer albums, I can't see or access:
* the bottom rowS of photos-- I can see a slim line of the top of each photo but not a complete photo of any on the bottom rowS
* the slide bar
* the bottom right corner of the Adobe Organizer screen.
The slide bar disappears from sight when I scroll down to try to see to the bottom of the screeen, and only a portion of those bottom row/rows is visible.
I've used the minimizer/maximizer green button in the left top corner— almost nothing changes when I use that button.
I've moved my dock to the left of my screen instead of at the bottom. Still can't see those pictures or the bottom right corner of the Adobe Organizer screen.
I've quit and restarted the application.
It was recommended that I:
(first I quit Adobe) go to the system preferences and set the screen resolution to the lowest possible number, which for me is 1344x756. This enlarged the font and display of the Adobe and everything else.
then I opened Adobe again.
I was then told to revert back, in my system settings, to the regular display setting. The Adobe Organizer grid display was supposed to snap back to the proper view, but nothing changed. The lower right corner is still out of view.
Please help! THis is driving me nuts.
Thank you so much,
diane

According to Apple website you need to do this:
You can activate this option in System Settings -> General -> and under “Show scroll bars” choose “Always”.
