JPGs from iPhoto library are recompressed on import? =:-0

not a question: a verified result! :-/
wasn't Aperture supposed to have a non-destructive workflow?
so the question is... maybe something went wrong (what?) and I should retry?
thanks
paolo

oh, I see... sorry: in my previous test I actually exported from iPhoto and imported in Aperture
exporting original from Aperture and comparing it to the original exported from iPhoto via Finder's "Get Info"... file sizes are identical!
so... seems it's Aperture showing "fantasy" file sizes! :-p
thank you, Terence

    Trash your Photos library and do it again (Hold down the option key while launching Photos and select your iPhoto library to open)

  • I have 1000  photos in an iPhoto Library that won't import into Photos because it says the metadata can't be read.  Yet those JPG files open just fine in iPhoto, GraphicConverter, et al.  What gives?

    I have 1000  photos in an iPhoto Library that won't import into Photos because it says the metadata can't be read.  Yet those JPG files open just fine in iPhoto, GraphicConverter, et al.  Any thoughts?

    It’s part of the basic install of OS X. So unless you deleted it then it’s there in your apps folder. If you have deleted it, it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. You will be able to extract the installation package using Pacifist.
    Alternatively, if you’re using almost any camera +apart from a Canon+ then the camera card is visible on the desktop and you can drag the movie to the desktop using the Finder and import from there.
    No matter what camera you use, if you pop the card from it into a USB Card Reader then it will be accessible via the Finder. Card Readers are inexpensive and all round a better idea.
    Why use a Card Reader?
    Because it’s safer: Less risk of your images being lost if your camera shuts down during transfer.
    Because it saves the battery on your camera
    Because it saves wear and tear on your camera ports
    Because it’s almost always faster.

  • How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

    How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

    How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library. 
    2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto. 
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate. 
    5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
    7  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.

  • New photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library

    I have just installed  10.10.3 on my Macbook and the new photo app does not import all of my photos from iphoto library. I have about 3200 photos in the library and only 2300 are presented for import. I only have 1 library so I didn't choose the wrong one. Any suggestions?

    Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library.  This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
    When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below).  Why is my iphoto library so scrambled!  Thanks for any insight.

  • How to import photos from iPhoto Library to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor?

    I can't use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor to edit photos from iPhoto Library. If I choose File, Open, and then select 'iPhoto Library', error message is "could not complete your request because of a program error."

    You can't do it that way. Any attempt to poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is very likely to damage the library and cause you to lose your photos, so PSE won't let you. You have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photos from iphoto, and save them without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the editor prefs>Saving Files>On First Save to let you do this). Then iphoto will remember your original and the last edited version.
    Be sure to choose this file in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 10>Support files as your external editor, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in Applications:
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the PSE editor to open the images and then save them with whatever changes to name or format you like, and reimport the saved images to iphoto as new files. This way you can save as many versions as you like.

  • Error message:Won't open an iphoto library file & will not import new pix

    I have deleted some files from iPhoto library in an effort to get more disk space. Trying to import from camera. Getting error message that says it cannot open File 2002/01/11. That file has been deleted. Clicked continue and message kept popping up. When download was "complete" it did not show up in last import folder or in main library folder. What am I doing wrong? At least I changed setting to keep photos on camera disk after import. I should warn you that I am not the brightest pea in the pod when it comes to new technology.

    Thanks, I KNEW it was something I did. Never had any trouble before.
    There is no way I can retrieve the deleted files. Emptied trash many times since then. Camera has been in repair shop for several weeks. And, as you already know, you are correct that I was deleting without iPhoto being launched.
    I am using 2.0.1. It's not clever enough to update it's files? And what does that have to do with importing new pix? I have not gotten my 15 page list out to see if the photos I deleted are still in the albums.
    In the future, should I delete from the main library? or the album? if I want them permanently gone (while in iPhoto, of course). It was so much easier to delete from a numerical list than to have view the photos, but I will not do that again if it is not good for my application.

  • Error Message: Photos found in iPhoto Library that were not imported

    BACKGROUND: I recently migrated my iPhoto'07 library of around 12,000 photos over to iPhoto'08. I reorganized all my albums as events. After that, I've been adding some old photos to my new iPhoto'08 library. Currently I have around 15,000 pictures in my iPhoto'08 library.
    PROBLEM: Recently, iPhoto gives me this message "990 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported". The number (990) has been growing with more pictures I add to the library.
    OLD POSTS: Searching for prior posts related to this error in this forum, I came across a suggestion to delete the library and reimport the photos. Given my large library size (15000 photos, 60GB - all organized as events, no albums), this solution will take a lot of manual work.
    QUESTION: If anyone out there has a suggestion for how to fix this, it'll be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

    periyar:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open the iPhoto library package and look for any folders names Import or Imported or something like that. Here's what normally would be in the package. If you find any folders like that them move them to the desktop, open iPhoto and import.
    If there are no pending import folders try rebuilding the library and select all the options. If they are true orphans they should be imported at that time.
    Don't start over with a new library quite yet. If you have to there are ways we can preserve the keywords and comments. Also, with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager you could copy all of the "known" photo from the old library to a new one including the albums, comments and titles. Then you can do some comparing of the two library packages and see where these left out files are.
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Trying to import pics from iphoto to imovie- can't import the PSE modified pictures.  I see them in iphoto.

    Trying to import pics from iphoto to imovie- can't import the PSE modified pictures.  I see them in iphoto however they don't appear in the thumbnails in imovie.

    Drag the PSE modified pictures from iPhoto to the Desktop. Open them in Preview then save as jpegs (File > Export - then choose Format JPEG). They may already be .jpg files, but are not readable by iMovie. Exporting them from Preview may fix this. Import the saved files to iPhoto - they should now work in iMovie.

  • Everytime I open iphoto, my computer tells me A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported.  Would you like to import it.  no matter what I do, iphoto puts the pic in recovered files.  How do I fix this?

    Everytime I open iphoto, my computer tells me,  A photo has been found in the iPhoto Library that was not imported.  Would you like to import it.  If I import it, a message comes up Unreadable file, the following file could not be imported. them it tells me where the file is and it cannot be opened.  If I do not import, then it says,The photo has been placed in the folder /Users/patrick*******/Pictures/iPhoto Library Recovered Photos_4.  It will just keep adding to recvovered photos.  This drives me crazy!!!!!!!  How do I fix this?

    I had this problem some months ago and the following solution from Terrence Delvin put things right:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.
    However, since connecting a memory stick to my computer, I now have the same problem again.  This time there is no folder called 'Import' or 'Importing' so what should I do?

  • Photos in iphoto library that were not imported

    when I open Iphoto, I get a message that says "28 photos were found in the iphoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them"? If I say yes, I am shown 28 unreadable files that could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or may not contain valid data". If I say no, it creates a file to store them in under pictures (iPhoto library recovered photos). The reason I got these photos is kind of complicated. I realized when I moved my files from my old PC to my new IMac, I had not been copying them to the iPhoto library but they were still located in the original location. In the process of copying/deleting, things got all messed up. Does anybody know how I can get rid of these unimported photos? Thanks! I have an IMac using iPhoto 8

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?

  • "Photos have been found in iPhoto library that were not imported" .. There's no Import Folder to delete

    Please read the entire post prior to giving a response.
    Our 2011 MBP has had this problem for a while.  15 photos have been found in iPhoto library that were not imported (twice .. every time).  I've seen several posts that all have the same answer .. find the import folder in iPhoto, remove it and all will be fine with the world.  Some say, it's importing folder, some say auto import folder, but all say it's a folder.  Problem is, there is no such folder.  I've looked throughout the computer .. applications, iPhoto, right click to show package contents, searched and searched .. nada.  NO such folder exists.  There are quite a number of files labeled "ImportPanels.nib" and "SelectiveImport.nib" all under "Other".  There are also a number of import.tiff files with various names under "Preview".  But NO folder with IMPORT in the name.
    So, how do I get rid of the never ending 15 photos have been found in iPhoto library that were not imported?  Help that doesn't repeat what's already been noted above in other posts would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
    (BTW .. it has Mavericks installed and everything is currently updated.)

    I have no idea where you are looking.  I have nothing even similar to that.  When I go to Finder and click on Applications and then right click iPhoto (not iPhoto Library .. I have nothing with that name) and click on Show Package Contents, I have just one folder "Contents".  That opens to _CodeSignature, _MASReceipt, Frameworks, Library, MacOS, Plugins, Recurces and XPCServices .. no other folder exist.
    (I have show .. iMovie, iMovie 9.0.9, iPhoto, iTunes, iWork '09, Keynote, etc ..  No iPhoto Library Folder is listed.)
    If I go to Launchpad and right click the iPhoto icon, it opens iPhoto.  You say not the application, but I have no idea were else to find this other than Finder which is only the iPhoto application and the icon in Launchpad and the Dock.
    When I click the Library folder, the only folder is Loginterms which opens to iCloud Photos.
    There isn't any folder names Auto Import or anything close.  Searches don't help as they only find files, not folder names.
    In your picture, it shows iPhoto Library as the header .. mine never shows that, it's always the folder name.
    Where is the iPhoto Library Package?

  • Photos  have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported

    Every time I open iPhoto 9 (version 8.0.3) I get the following message: "photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?"
    Whether I click "yes" or "no" (it doesn't matter) a "recovered photo" folder is created that contains six documents with long names, such as "8E7471DB-A316-4640-A4EE-98293772E434-269-000002802B328A1B". And even when they are "recovered", the very next time I open iPhoto I have to go through the same thing over again.
    I can't find where the originals are or why iPhoto keeps wanting to import these documents.

    I tried to right click the photo album icon in my library
    Is that referred to in an earlier post?
    Seems to me that the suggestion is to
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

  • "photos found in the iPhoto library that weren't imported" error message

    I just bought my first iMac and was introduced to the dark side of the force (Was always a PC user and have never touched an Apple product). I transferred all my photos from my PC to the iMac Pictures folder. Then I dragged and dropped all the folders one by one into the iPhotos icon in the dock. After all the folders were transferred into the iPhoto library, I removed the original photos by dropping all of them into the Trash and thereby cleaning up my Pictures folder.
    When I open up iPhoto this message appears every time, "14 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported. Would you like to import them?". It doesn't matter if you choose yes or no. It creates a "Recovered Photos" folder within the Pictures folder and there is nothing in it.
    I've tried using Disk Utility in Utilities to "Repair Disk Permissions" but this didn't work.
    Does anyone out there know what other options I can use?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
