Is it possible to crop photos of art that are unusual shape..ie pentagon, quadrilateral

is iti possible to crop photos of art that maybe unusal shapes...quadrilateral, pentagon etc

Not with iPhoto, no.
You could try with an external editor or an app that can apply masking overlays - even Pages, for instance.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    How do i delete all my photos in wallpaper that are in my camera roll

    There is an option, under Advanced, on the Info Pane in iTunes to replace all contacts on your phone with what's on your computer for the next sync only. So, edit everything on your computer & use that method.

  • Is it possible to organize photos into years that the photo were taken?

    Is it possible to organize groups of photos by the year that the photo was taken (in the same way as the old iPhoto 6)?

    With newer versions of iPhoto you can use the serarch function at the bottom and select year to view all the photos of a specific year:
    Use the forward and back arrows to get to the year you want.  Click on the year to get all photos for that year.  Click on a month to get the photos in just that month:

  • Find photos in Library that are not in an Album

    My mum has made the classic mistake of deleting her images from Albums rather than the Library when using iPhoto.
    Anyone know how to find all photos in the Library but not included in albums?
    I found a script for iTunes to do a similar thing with tracks not in playlists but can;t find one for photos in iPhoto.
    Or, is there another solution?

    Create a Smart Album with the criteria "Album" is "None". That will give you all photos not in an album. You can move those photos to a regular album and then delete from there by using CommandOptionDelete. That moves them to the iPhoto Trash bin where you'll have to empty the trash.
    iPhoto is known to lock up if you try to delete a large number of photos at a time. So just select about 100 at a time to move to the trash and empty.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • HT201317 my iPhone was stolen, can I access the photos on it that are older than 30 days?

    Is is possible to access photos on an iPhone that were taken more than 30 days ago.  I had my iPhone stolen, I'd used it for 6 months without ever syncing it to any computer, and since it was nicked I bought a MacBook Pro in hopes that through iCloud I could get all the data from my phone but only a few recent photos showed up in Photo Stream, not all the others.  Any way to go back in time for the lost photos?
    Also, only a few of my notes showed up too...any advice there?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, having tried to recover your photos via photo stream already, I doubt there is much you can do.

  • Hi i have alot of photos in iphoto that are duplicates how can delete all duplicate in mass not individually? thank you

    .

    There are photos in my iPhoto albums  which I deleted from my Photos albums.
    There are photos visible in iPhoto, that you cannot delete in the Photos.app?
    Have these photos been edited or or tagged with tags or captions? Then iPhoto will protect them from being deleted. They will be moved to an "edited" album. To be able to delete them, you need to revert them to the original version and to discard the edits.
    Also, photos that you have synced to your iPad from a computer cannot be deleted on your device. YOu delete them by syncing again, with the album or folder deselected while syncing.

  • HT201317 How do i retrieve all of the photos and videos, that are no longer on my phone, i uploaded to icloud about 4 months ago?

    I am getting very angry with this, i have been trying for hours. There is more information than is humanly needed to upload to icloud, which a 5 year old can do, but nothing to help download it all

    Camera roll photos and videos are included in your backup.  If you still have a backup made while these were still on your phone, restoring to the backup should recover them.
    Photo stream won't help.  Photo stream photos are only kept in photo stream for 30 days, even though they remain on your devices until you delete them.  Photos added 4 months ago would no longer be there to download.  Also, photo stream only syncs photos, not videos.

  • How do I view my photos and videos that are stored in iCloud?

    I sold my iPod 4th generation and backed up all videos and photos from my iPod to iCloud before I carried out a system reset to sell on. I can't seem to view anything in iCloud from my laptop or iPad. The only items that were synced back to my iPad were contacts, apps and calendar events but no photos or videos.
    Anyone got any ideas???

    Windows media server does not work with an iPod
    I would use an app like the free (for personeal use) Team Viewer that allows you to control your computer via wifi and see the computer's screen

  • Deleting photos in stacks that are in facebook albums

    If I delete a photo A from a project, it sometimes says 'this photo is in an album... are you sure' or similar.
    This happens is A is in the same stack as B, when B is an album pick in a facebook album.
    A is not published to facebook, it's just in the same stack as one that is.
    This is annoying and frightening when I want to delete a bunch of photos. Any way to fix it?

    You could just select the checkbox *Do not show this message again* in the popup.

  • HT4061 where and or how do i access my backed up photos and music that are in icloud??

  • IPhone can't see photos in iPhoto that are earlier than 2008

    I have 2500 photos in iPhoto but iTunes/iPhone only thinks I have about 287 and they all seem to be photos I've uploaded in 2008 (but not necessarily taken in 2008 - like my album 'Xmas 2007' where all the photos were from late december, but loaded onto my PB in 2008).
    iPhoto is working fine, by the way, they're all there and happy. It's iTunes that doesn't seem to be 'seeing' them.
    Any ideas? It's driving me round the bend. My Mac is becoming more and more like a PC - doing these random things which seem inexplicable.

  • How do I post photos on Facebook that are on my IPad?

    How do I post pictures on Facebook from my IPad?  When I click on search my files in FB nothing happens.  Thanks.

    Clearly you are not reading my response as I made no mention of tagging in the photos app. 
    "allow tag with friends but not allow tag with only a friend"
    I have no idea what that even means. If you are not comfortable with english please post in your native language.

  • Exporting photos from Lightroom that are good enough quality for a photography website.

    I am doing a website for a photographer client that need to showcase their images in a rotating gallery that will be about 1/2 the page so pretty big. She gave me all the photos in FULL size which meant that they were excellent quality and looked amazing on my computer at home as I have fast internet and they all loaded up in seconds. Only problem, when I tried it on a different internet source that wasn’t as speedy, they took so long to load that the next one would start, hence no images ever being visible. This is not good as not everyone will have as fast internet as me and it’s pointless if no one can see her work.
    She then exported them for web, using the normal settings that she usually would, leaving them around 200-600KB which loads up nice and quickly, but the quality just don’t do the photo’s justice AT ALL!
    I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions of the setting to use to export them from lightroom so that the quality is still next to perfect, but they are small enough so that they load up in a reasonable time on the web.
    Each photo displays for 5 full seconds before alternating.
    Thank you in advance and if you have any further suggestions, I would love to hear them.

    You need to use export settings similar to this:
    Quality setting should be at least 60, but you can sometimes get away with less. (smaller file size)
    But if you need to export a lot of images, do them all at 60, and re-export as necessary. If you for instance see blockiness in a clear blue sky, increase quality until it goes away.
    Color space must be set to sRGB.
    Set the required size in pixels, using Long edge is quite convenient. Whatever you enter in the resolution box doesn't matter - web browser ignore ppi.
    Experiment with Screen sharpening to find the setting that works best. Standard usually works OK, but it depends on the sharpness of the original.
    Set Metadata to Copyright Only, this keeps file size down.
