IPhoto thumbnail photos view

When I view all my thumbnail photos in photos view (all my photos in one screen), I can't change background color like my older iPhoto. I was once able to add a cast shadow as well. Is there a way to make these changes with the new iPhoto as well?

It's not a "new iPhoto", it's a whole new app and it does not have the features you are looking for here

Iphoto printing photo viewing area window in later versions

Hello. Can you print the photo viewing area directly out of iphoto in iphoto versions later than iphoto 4?

Hi. Your answer is extremely helpful. I didn't know about the contact sheet option. What I am trying to do is print out all my albums while showing a thumbnail and the title of the photo, like I could do in Extensis Portfolio. It would be very helpful to me to be able to print a contact sheet with the titles of the photos as a reference; I have a lot of photos to keep track of. I had hoped iphoto could do this without having to resort to work-arounds and extra steps, since the photo viewing area shows me exactly what I want, thumbnails and titles. If there is no way to print a contact sheet with the photo titles, I have to say it is a big oversight on by Apple. The more functionality the better.
I might have answered this in your other thread:
I am trying to figure out just what you are doing
here. One thing that iPhoto does is allow you to
select a bunch of files, hit print and you are given
the option of printing a "contact sheet" which will
print all the selected photos on one or several
sheets depending on the size you pick for the photo.
Is this what you want to do?

IPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug

_*iPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug*_
iPhoto 08 contains a bug affecting the display of images that the user has marked as "hidden." Specifically, when the user toggles the View-Hidden Photos menu option, the Library-Events thumbnail view does not refresh quickly or reliably to show or hide Events containing "hidden photos."
Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain visible when they should be hidden.
Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain INvisible when they should be visible.
This affects the Event thumbnail "key photo" if this photo was designated as hidden.
This also affects any hidden Event photos when the user "skims" over an Event thumbnail to preview its contents.
The issue is isolated to Events thumbnails. The problem does not exist:
a) while browsing thumbnails inside a specific Event.
b) while browsing photos in Library-Photos.
c) while browsing photos in an Album.
_*"Fixes" that do NOT work:*_
Software updates... I have the latest version of OSX 10.5.2 and the latest version of iPhoto 08, including all the recent security and graphics system updates as of 02/16/2008.
Maintenance... The issue is NOT resolved by rebuilding the database, rebuilding icons, or deleting the iPhoto preferences file. The issue can be reproduced in a separate user account after creating a new event in an otherwise empty iPhoto database.
After much tinkering around, the following is the closest I've come to a
_*TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:*_
To *NOT DISPLAY* hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos *is not* checked. Restart iPhoto, and the hidden images should now be invisible.
To DISPLAY hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos is checked. While the hidden images are now visible elsewhere, they may still be invisible in Events thumbnails, so restart iPhoto, and then wait about 10 seconds for the Events view to refresh with all the hidden thumbnail images now visible.
If after carefully reading this you feel you have a definitive solution, please post a reply with your suggestions. Otherwise, please post to confirm if you can reproduce the problem on your computer running iPhoto 08 on Leopard. If so, please also file an official bug report with Apple. The more people report this, the faster we'll get it fix.

My Acrobat Pro 9 has also this bug. I am using XP SP2. I have reported this bug at Adobe web site many times. I wrote to the Adobe customer care. I wrote about this on many different forums and I was hopping an update with this bug fixed. I installed all updates till now bu the problem still exists. I do not know why Adobe is not caring about this stupid bug. It is really, really annoying. In my experience with Adobe Acrobat for about 10 years, Acrobat version 9 is the worst version I ever worked with. There are a lot of glitches and bugs in it, expecially with fonts, web version creation, password protection encryption etc etc.
If you find any fix please post back on this forum.
Many thanks,

Navigating through photos in single-photo view in iphoto with trackpad is not working after installing new OS Mountain lion

I have recently download new OS Mountain lion on my macbook (white late 2010 model). I had snow leopard before.
On iphoto, when i was viewing my photos in a single-photo view (double clicking on a photo), i was unable to go to the next photo/previous photo using my trackpad. Only way i could do this was by pressing arrow buttons on my key board.
If i remember correctly, i was able to do this by using 3 fingers (sliding left to right or sliding right to left) on snow leopard.
I can navigate back and foward on my internet browser using two fingers. And yes, i have tried using my two fingers on iphoto but nothing happens.
I have checked my trackpad setting and everything seems to be right.
Any ideas how i could fix this?
Thank You
p.s. i have iphoto 09

This works here - but I'm on iPhoto 11. IIRC it worked on 09 too though.
It's not working for me.

Ok somehow my sister deleted all my photos off my photo booth and now all my pictures in my iphoto i cant view them i just see white dots and boxes can anyone tell me how i can get my deleted photos back and how can view my photos again please !!!

ok so somehow my sister deleted all my photos off photo booth and now all my photos on iphoto i cant view them i want to know how i can get my deleted photos back and how to view the rest of my photos please help !!!!

Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

Birds eye view of photos - like iPhoto's 'Events' view

I switched from iPhoto to Lightroom. I love Lightroom. That said, I really miss iPhoto's 'Events' view. I'd love to see a feature in Lightroom that matched it's ability to quickly survey all of your photos.
'Events' view shows one image for each event (e.g. day or shoot; you can choose which image this is). When you mouse over an event photo it acts like a little flipbook - moving your cursor from left to right flips through all the images in the event in order. When you grab the scroll bar the date will show while your scrolling to make it easy to know when to stop.
I'm not suggesting that Lightroom copy this exactly (though that wouldn't be bad) but that there be some sort of way of looking at my whole collection of photographs at once without having to see every photo.
The closest thing in Lightroom is accomplished by treating stacks like iPhoto events. Doing this I can open the Photos folder to show my entire library and choose to collapse all stacks. Mind you, that's only a workaround. I'd love to see a new way of viewing the Library.

Cloning the JPanel seems the wrong approach to me. If I were you I would separate the model (the data you represent in your UI) from the view (the UI components you use to display the data). So, if you want to duplicate your JPanel (view) you would just create a new one from your existing data model. With that approach, your problem becomes more or less trivial.
Google for MVC, to get you started on different ways of structuring your UI application.Good advice, better stated than in my feeble attempts in these cross-posts:

I disagree completely! Had I read those threads I wouldn't have bothered replying to this one. I think you explained it very clearly.

IPhoto, moving photo's to my document folder, and remove thumbnails from iphoto.

iPhoto, moving photo's to my document folder, and remove thumbnails from iphoto.
How to? Please...I cut and paste items, it is removed from iphoto for a few seconds then they appear again.

The photos that are appearing on the mini - are they photos taken with an iPhone or iPad? If so, open System Preferences on both computers and select the iCloud tab. On the mini, click the Photos checkmark off and on the MBP click the Photos checkmark on (if it isn't already), then start iPhoto and select Preferences. Select the Photo Stream tab and make sure Photo Stream is on.

When I upgraded my iPhoto thumbnails, my photos disappeared. How can I recover them? I have iPhoto '08.

When I upgraded my iPhoto thumbnails, my photos disappeared. How do I recover them?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 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. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain 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.

When using iphoto I can view the photos but when I double click on a photo it becomes a black box with a white circle on the screen

When using iphoto, I can view the photos but when I double click on 1 specific photo it enlarges to a black box with a large white circle in it...doesn't matter which photo I click on the end result is the same...black box with a white circle.

Hello michelefox17
It's sounds like you may need to rebuild your iPhoto Library. The article below has the steps on how do that.

This is a silly question, but I cannot fix it! The icons that appear on my photos after I edit them, have gone away. The only way I can see them is in the Grid view. How can I get the icons back on the thumbnail photos of the full gallery that is loaded?

You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.

What happened to the thumbnail photo in an event? Previously all I had to do was to drag the thumbnail photo to a folder, now I need to drag each individual photo to that folder. If that means a few or several, it's a hassle. Any help for this one?

What happened to the thumbnail photos for an event? Previously when I wanted to transfer an event to a specific folder all I needed to do was drag the thumbnail. If there were multiple events, I only needed to pick the one I wanted and drag it. Simple and it worked very well. If there was an event with several, I only neede to drag the one thumbnail and it was done. Now I need to drag each individual photo to the new folder. Sometimes that could mean 10, 20 or more. Doing one at a time is can be a very slow process. If there are events that need to be split, it can be even slower. Any positive ideas will be greatly appreciated.

You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
Exactly what you you trying to do?

What causes little green & purple pixels in iPhoto 6 photos?

I have a Power mac G5 and do extensive photo editing within iPhoto6. I have just over 10,000 photos in my iPhoto library (70% imported from hard photos via a scanner and 30% imported directly from my digital cameras). Recently, I noticed the thumbnail photos within iPhoto will show on about 25% of each photo a "swarm" of green and purple pixles. This does not happen every time I am in iPhoto6 - probably about 1/3 of the time. It is clearly an issue that presents itself exclusively on my photos in iPhoto6. It is not a problem with the monitor. A quick internet search generated info that this might be caused by problems in my computer memory or in the video memory card. I am a novice, so this is beyond me. Any idea what might be causing this, is it serious, and how do I correct it?
Thanks,
HDP

Does this occur anywhere else except iPhoto? If yo view the files with Preview, for Instance? Is it just on the thumbnails in the iPhoto Window or the photos viewed at full size? Or vice versa?

Problems with photo view and email

My iphoto has started acting very badly. When I click on a thumbnail to view a photo, I often get a big grey area with an X in it. And the email photo feature won't work anymore. I click email, it starts to process it and then nothing. this is pretty serious because I use iphoto to store and organize all my pics.
I am using version 6.0.6

Marty
Is that an X or a ! ? Folks usually report an !
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
If that fails you may have a damaged db file.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

I am thinking of buying a "new" iPad but I have a very large iPhoto library which I would like to keep intact and be able to view on my new iPad. Is there a way to use a external storage device to store the iPhoto library and view it on the iPad?

You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

All Photos view in full screen can't happen?

Just want to be sure I'm not missing something. When I'm using iPhoto in full screen mode, I only have Events, Faces, Places, Albums, Projects and NO PHOTOS view. Right?

Wrong. This is what I get in the Photos mode with Event Titles shown:
Click on a photo and it goes full screen.
This is what it looks like without Event Titles shown:
