IPhoto softens pictures when reviewing

I'm wondering if anyone can help with the following.  When I review photos on iPhoto on my Mac Pro, sharp, in focus pictures briefly show up as appropriately sharp, and then a fraction of a second later, they are softened.  This is when I'm in events paging through pictures in the full window.  This never used to happen.  You can tell the picture is sharp by the moment when it first comes up.  It's quite frustrating and makes it difficult to work with pictures at all.
Help!  Thanks for your support.

Note that NO one else has reported this so it is highly likely that you have a problem rather than iPhoto having a bug
Also this is not a way to reach Apple - it is strictly a user to user forum
And personal e-mails are not permitted in it per the TOU
And it is strongly recommended that you never have iPhoto or any other program delete your photos - it is far better to import the photos and then delete them yourself later (I prefer to wait for one backup cycle at least)
Any more details on your problem so someone might be able to help

  • IPhoto loses pictures when I try to rearrange them for an email

    When I try to send an email in iPhoto 11, if I try to rearrange those pictures, it loses them in the email. It's very frustrating.
    For example, I'll start with this:
    Then when for instance I try to drag the bottom picture to the upper left picture to swap them out, this is what I'm left with:
    It's super frustrating. I tried re-installing iPhoto but that didn't help.
    Please help me!
    Thanks,
    James

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • IPhoto deletes pictures when shared

    Not that Apple will do anything about this problem that has been going on since iPhoto got the major update, but in shared mode, we imported loads of photos of our beautiful 20 month old son and newborn daughter. And now they are permanently gone. Vanished!!! Keeps happening. And of course they were deleted from phone. So, moral of the story, is; the only way to import is in the ORIGINAL user mode (which screws up other user iPhone syncs) and then they appear in other users. If imported in secondary users, ALL PICTURES ARE LOST. Apple..... maybe fix this???
    Can someone please help me if they know how to retrieve lost pictures?
    Thank you.

  • Hi. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but it appears on a dim letters and i can not open it.

    Hi. I need some help on the following problem. I opened iPhoto and, suddenly, it tells me " WHAT IPHOTO LIBRARY DO I WANT TO USE?" but i had a iPhoto library. When i search on my Pictures, i have the file IPHOTO LIBRARY but is was not the icon on it i previously remembered and it appears on a dim letters and it can not be opened ... How can i recover it??

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

    Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

  • Although photo appears beautiful on phone screen, when reviewed in gallery, half the picture has a large line going through it.  Any ideas?  I went to VZN and they replaced my first new phone 3 days ago for this same issue.

        I'm sorry your pictures appear different in your gallery sillyymom. I know its frustrating with viewing important images. Are you using a 3rd party picture application? do you have any apps that may be conflicting with your pictures. Have you tried to review your picture settings?

  • IPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon.  It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

    iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon.  It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

    Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened?  Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

  • I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?

    I just upgraded to iPhoto '11.  When it was finished many pictures do not appear.  I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there.  Some are raw and some are jpeg.  Also lost all albums.  Can anyone offer assistance?  Using iOS 10.7.5

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • After  editing photos on the iPhoto can i keep the original date of the picture,(when it was taken).thanks

    can i recover the original date of the picture whenit  was taken after editing with iphoto.

    You do not need to do anything - editing a photo in iPhoto does not modify the original date of the photo - that is a part of the photo informatiopn (in the EXIF data) - the only way to modify it with iPhoto is to use the modify date/Time command

  • How significant is the yellow hazard warning for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

    How significant is the yellow hazard warning message for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

    Are you talking about making a Book?
    How siginificant depends on how low resolution the photo is and how sensative you are to poor prints - it displays when a -photo will print below 180 dpi - what is the DPI of the photos that is givingyou the warning (the photo size divided byt the pixel size)

  • Stop iPhoto prompting Import when i try to view a Picture

    Every picture on my Mac is in the iPhoto Library. I've set iPhoto to my default for opening picture files.
    In Finder, the pictures are shown as belonging to iPhoto. Yet when I try to open the file from Finder, iPhoto prompts me to Duplicate the file, I tick the box saying apply to all and I say no. Then iPhoto just goes to Last Import. It doesn't even take me to the Picture.
    How can I get it to stop prompting me to duplicate my pictures and just take me to the picture I clicked on!?
    Thanks in advance.

    If all your photos are in iPhoto why are you trying to view them from the Finder? The point of iPhoto and such apps is that they replace the Finder for everything to do with your Photos.
    Secondly: iPhoto is a database not an image viewer. If you set iPhoto as a defualt app for your phots then you're saying "Everytime I click on a pic import it to iPhoto for me"
    So, if you want to open photos from the Finder then use an Image Viewer or if you want to use iPhoto, access the photos as designed: via the iPhoto Window.

  • Why does IPhoto always crop pictures when printing?

    Whenever I print from iphoto the picture alway gets cropped automatically. Why does it do this and how can I stop it? This results in heads and feet often being cropped out of the printed photo which is frustrating. When I double click on a photo to view it full screen I can see the full photo however the actual print, regardless of print size chosen, ends up being cropped. I use an HP C7280 printer.

    Photos from a digital camera are in a size ratio of 4:3 which is not one of the standard print sizes. Therefore the photo must be cropped in order to fit the select print size. You should crop the photo yourself in iPhoto before printing so you get exactly what you want with no surprises.
    What iPhoto does is take the smaller dimension and scale it to fit that dimension in the print.  The larger dimension will obviously be larger than the print so it will be cropped to fit, usually on both ends.
    Bottom line: do the cropping yourself to get what you want.

  • IPhoto always opens when the iPhone is attached even with no new pictures..

    Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

    Yes, let it import the camera roll pictures that are on the iPhone and let it "delete originals" and then let iTunes sync photos and you will have your pics but the camera roll will be available again.
    No "new" pictures does not make any difference when you have not let iPhoto delete originals when it imports the images. iPhoto will open whenever it detects images on the camera roll.

  • When I open iPhoto every picture is the same!

    Every time I open iPhoto every picture is the same. If I open a photo it is the photo I took. When I open faces, places or events every cover photo is the same. Is there a fix?

    Close iPhoto for iOS then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
