IWeb and photo corrections and importing photos

Yeah, another iWeb problem. I both love and hate the application. I hadn't had this problem before now. I imported many, many photos into albums (via Aperture...) before noticing that the photos in download mode on my website were showing up at half the pixel size that the originals were. The photo download option is checked as 'original' so that's not it. I did a little checking and couldn't figure out why iWeb is importing these photos from Aperture at half size... So, I did an end run around it and dragged and dropped directly from the folder to iWeb. Great, right? Nope... started noticing that the photos that I am dragging in are not holding their corrections (mainly brightness/contrast) that I had applied in Photoshop. They show up fine in the folder, they look fine as I am dragging them, but when I release in the iWeb folder/page they lose their corrections? HUH?!?
No matter what I do (dragging them from the folder or from the desktop is the same...) they lose the corrections in iWeb... They still hold their corrections if I drag them from the Aperture sidebar in iWeb, but then they are half sized...
And no, the optimize images on import button is NOT checked, thought for sure that that would be the problem. Any thoughts, ideas on either problem, the size issues or the corrections... What determines the size that iWeb chooses for display? I notice that there are three listings when I upload them in FileZilla...
And on a side note, the preview images in the main album page show low res images... What controls the resolution for them and could this be somehow related?
I also tried to export a photo from Aperture which shows the correct resolution of 1280 X 1280 to the Desktop and got a correct 1280 X 1280 image. Dragged it into iWeb and it kept the corrections as well, but when published, the website displays a half size image with a 640 X 640 download size... Sigh...

Did you reboot? That often clears out caches and corrects errant behavior in apps. That and deleting the preference file. Either that or offering the right sacrifice to the computer gods.

Unable to view photo browser to import photos

Friends,
I'm running FCPX 10.1. I am unable to easily view the photo browser to import photos. The screenshot below shows what I see when I click on the photo import pane:
The screenshot below shows what I see when I click on the under photos to display the entire photo (Aperture) library:
How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Steve

I also had the same problem. Then I open iMovie, clicked on the iPhoto and Aperture section. When I got back to FCP X my photos, Gearage Band sections were back. But the photo section must be selected before you quit FCP X. Then open open FCP X, and the photos en Garage Band and other audio effects will be back. But when you select another section like themes or transitions before you quit FCP X, the photo section wil be gone again and had to start the procedure again to get it back. That is my experience of the missing photos and audio effects.

Is there a way to use iPhoto and *not* have it import photos?

Hi there,
I'm transitioning from a PC to a Mac and everything is going fairly well -- overall a better user experience. One question I have is, is there a way to use iPhoto without having it import photos? My main issue is that currently iPhoto imports all the photos that I want to view/edit in iPhoto and copies them to it's own folder structure. I like to manage my pictures in a folder structure that I define, so I already back up my photos to another location and now I'm finding that iPhoto is just duplicating the pictures that I already have where I want them, sucking up precious space on my SSD.
So is there a way for me to just point iPhoto to a folder, make my edits on those photos, and have iPhoto automatically save those changes to the original folder I pointed it to, instead of duplicating the photos in it's own folder structure?
It occasional things like this that makes me miss some Windows features. In this case, I miss Windows Photo Gallery.

Hm, ok so if I edit my photos (adjust brightness etc) in iPhoto and then export it, does it export with the brightness changed, or does it just export the original?
It exports whichever you choose - the edited version or the original.
However, am I the only one with trust issues with importing all my photos into iPhoto? I'm scared the library will get corrupted, etc.
NO you're not the only one. The protection against any data corruption is a good back up, and you need that for any data on any computer running any OS. But in the case of iPhoto, remember too that the original files are stored exactly as they are imported, in folders, in the filing system.
that when I go to export the photos, there's a LOT of duplicate file names that the export chokes on, which makes it very tedious, no, painful, for me to export a large number of photos.
Explore the options under File Name when you export from iPhoto using the File -> Export command

I upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer import photos from my camera

I have a Canon Eos Rebel SLR Digital Camera (Model DS6041). It has always worked perfectly with iPhoto on my iMac running Maverick. I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday and now when I plug the camera in...iPhoto opens...and it shows the camera listed in the pane on the left but in the upper right hand corner of the main photo window it just continually says "Loading". I plugged it into my wife's Macbook Air which was also upgraded yesterday morning and it did the same thing. In order to make sure it was a problem with Yosemite and not my camera...I plugged it into my dad's Macbook Air which HASN'T been upgraded. It is still running Maverick. His Macbook immediately recognized the photos and loaded them and was ready for me to import. Does anyone know what is going on with the Yosemite upgrade and if it is being looked at? Thank you.

Have you guys tried this?... It worked for me
I called Canon and they said to change a setting on the camera and for me it worked. They said to go to the settings menu and go to communication... on my camera there are two choices... Normal (PC) and PTP. Mine was set to normal and always worked fine. After the Yosemite update...it no longer worked. Yesterday I changed it to PTP and the pictures popped right up. Hopefully you have similar settings in your camera and can try this...

Does the ipad preserve full resolution and exif data on imported photos?

If I import photos to my IPad2 using the 'camera connection kit',
a) How do I transfer those photos to my windows computer ?
b) Does the IPad2 preserve the full resolution and EXIF data etc of the photo ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !

There is help in this article (but basically your computer should see the iPad as a camera and should appear in windows explorer if there are non-synced photos i.e. taken with the iPad, transferred via CCK, or saved from emails/websites etc) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
And, yes, the full photo and it's info is stored/copied i.e. they are the same as on the memory card.

I have a MAC 10 and am trying to import photos from my Kodak Workforce 6 into Photoshop. Any ideas on how to go about this?

I have a MAC OS X and a Kodak Workforce Scanner 6. I am trying to import photos from the scanner to my Photoshop Elements 11. Any ideas?

Perhaps you need to install the optional twain plugin:
(disregard what it says about using Rosetta (PPC))

How do I extract original photo date when importing photos?

Hi,
I am trying to import photos from a backup CD of pictures that I created in August. However, when I import them into iPhoto, the date that gets associated with the photo is the August date of the CD creation instead of the original photo date.
I can see the original date of the photo image file, and I want that to be the date that iPhoto uses to organize the photos.
Is there any preference I can set to extract the date information from the image data itself and NOT from the date stamp on the CD file?
Thanks!
Jason

Please don't take the following as a flame...
<quote>The move option is grayed out when importing from a card to save you from yourself. At least that's what I've always assumed.</quote>
That's a bit draconian don't you think? Why have the option greyed out if you don't want the user to be able to do this. It's kind of like saying hahah, this is possible to do, but, you, the user, are a moron. Why even place the option on the page in the first place.
<quote>It just happens to be a bug that few on this forum care to see fixed because most of us feel that using it is unwise due to the danger of lost images and corrupted cards.</quote>
Again, why put it on page as an option if it weren't intended to be enabled in a plist somewhere for those who wish to be 'unwise.'
My logic is as follows: If Apple provides software that is more accessible to the 'unwashed masses' (because it's included with Leopard ie. Image Capture) and it deletes images directly from the camera, then why would a professional package (Aperture) limit the so called 'professional' from designing and using his/her own workflow governed by their own experience. Which could include first a backup to dvd or other device of your choice (keyword here: CHOICE) THEN import images and delete directly from the camera. Logically this is completely BACKWARDS, the app available to the 'masses'(Image Capture) should NOT let the user delete images directly from the camera and the 'professional' app (Aperture) should allow more flexibility for the advanced user who understands the implications of his/her work flow and adjusts accordingly.
Besides, And I quote myself "I have searched the forums here and have only seen people offer advice why this is not good. Not to be an A##, but I don't want advice. I need an answer to my question. How do I enable this functionality?"
Therefore, respectfully, your answer is: non sequitur.
Best Regards

IPhoto is saying it can't close due tohoto is saying it can't close due to importing photos to library importing photos to lib

When I go to close IPhoto a window pops up saying "importing photos to library can't close". I can't turn off the Mac either. How do I fix this? There's no photos in IPhoto and I don't know what it's importing.

force quit (right click on the iPhoto icon in the dock and select force quit)

Upgraded to 10.6.8 and now can't import photos from Olympus camera

1. Recently bought a new Olympus VR310 digital camera. I couldn't get either Image Capture (6.0.1) or iPhoto (9.1.5) to import images from day one, onto my Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. However, if I took the SDHC card out of the Olympus and put it into an older Canon Ixus digital camera , and used that to upload, then both Image Capture and iPhoto worked perfectly. So it's not the card. Or the USB connection. It's something special to the Olympus and the Mac. Obviously I tried all the usual stuff about dumping plist files etc. Nothing worked.
2. The problem manifests itself, when the Olympus is connected, as Image Capture being unable to show more than one, if any, thumbnails, and it is unable to import at all. In iPhoto the problem manifests immediately it calls up the Olympus as a connected camera. The dreaded spinning beachball of death kicks off, and the program 'stops responding'. Even after I quit iPhoto and unmount the Olympus, iPhoto will not open without the spinning ball of death until I restart.
3. Anyway, I tried connecting the Olympus to my son's Macbook, (System 10.6.7, Image Capture 6.0.1 and iPhoto 9.1.1) and all worked perfectly. Hmm… so it's NOT just down to the Olympus. It's something to do with my setup.
4. I also have a bootable USB drive connected to the Mini, so I booted into that, so I then have my computer and my user preferences etc running under the bootable drives System 10.6.6, Image Capture 6.0.1, and iPhoto 9.1.5. That worked perfectly with the Olympus too. So it's not my the combination of my user settings, Image Capture 6.0.1, or iPhoto 9.15, or the Olympus.
5. My guess then was it was some corruption of the system on the Mac Mini. So I reinstalled the Mac Mini system, from the install DVD, so I had a nice fresh Snow Leopard 10.6.0. That gave me Image Capture 6.0.1 and iPhoto 9.1.5. When I attached the Olympus, everything worked perfectly. Great.
THEN, I updated the system from Apple's Oftware Update, all the way to 10.6.8, which is where I started from.
6. And guess what. Nothing works anymore. Immediately before the update, the Olympus importing worked. Immediately afterwards it didn't. I'm back where I was at the beginning, with exactly the same problem.. I can't import from the Olympus but the Canon is fine. (see 1 and 2 above)
So, it seems to me that the Upgrade straight to 10.6.8 is what caused the problem. And given I could get the Olympus to work on my son's computer (system 10.6.6) it's something between 10.6.6 and 10.6.8. Why the Canon works on all the permutations, and not the Olympus, I don't know. I don't know why the Olympus ONLY doesn't work with 10.6.8.
7. Obviously there are tedious workarounds (but none that lets iPhoto capture the photos directly) which I can use to get the images into iPhoto eventually, but hey, this is an Apple Mac, who wants to be doing tedious workarounds all the time.
I've had Macs since 1984 (I'm that old…) so I'm a fan, and I'm reasonably competent, but this has me stumped.
Any ideas, anyone.
Any help much appreciated.

You launched iPhoto and from its Preferences you selected Connecting camera opens.....

My hard drive broke and I lost all imported photos

I would always import all my photos from iphone and ipad 2 onto my laptop (windows). My hard drive crashed and I previously had stored a back up of the photos on a flash drive. But I needed the flash drive to install the one time Windows recovery install so I had to delete and reformat the flash drive. Is there any way to be able to get the photos back? Either off flash drive if I copy contents of windows recovery onto a new flash drive or from an icloud back up? I can't go the easy route and see all my back up son Windows becsuse this is a new hard drive. Thanks for the help. Also, the ipad 2 has been stolen so I can't use that one but is bought a new Ipad 2.

Obviously by my sign-on I am not on the Cloud - but if you are backing up to it - you may be able to get your photos back - depending on the type of backup and the amount of data kept.
I have two external back up drives - time machine and one for a full backup of my library. Also have burned photos on DVD & have them two places.
Once you go digital on pictures - no hard copy - you have to consider multiple backups.

LR5.5 no panels, no library, modules are currently inaccessible and I can't import photos

Running Macosx 10.75 on a mbp 13' mid 2012. Roughly 5000 in my LR catalog. Two days ago I opened LR to find panels and library absent. My checked my backups, the dates of backup are correct but they have all been reduced to roughly 75mp. I believe the files are still present on my hd and outside LR.
I'm not sure what has caused this and not sure where to go from here. Thoughts? Thanks.

I have trouble with Firefox displaying menus and options correctly, and I keep it up to date. I have to switch to Safari to perform basic activities. What's up?

I have Firefox 37.0.1 which I just updated on my MacBook Pro running Mac OX 10.7.5. Frequently, on web sites where I'm following directions to sign in or reset a password or do a financial transaction, like a purchase, there are menus missing from my screen. At first I blame the instructions for not being complete or accurate, but lately I've been trying to switch to another browser, like Safari. And when I do the missing menus appear! What's up? Have I missed a setting in Firefox that allows menus to appear?

Hi LornaLyons, when I open Firefox's Web Console (Developer menu) and reload the page, only 4 files show a 404 status, the rest of the site seems fine. (Screen shot attached)
I did reload bypassing cached files, which is Ctrl+Shift+r on Windows but probably is Command+Shift+r on Mac. Does that make any difference for you?
Could you test the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Will the site load?
