Keeping photos organized when making an album

I recently went on a family vacation, and every day we did something completely different. I am making an album with five distinct sections, and the number of photos that display over the album is beginning to get overwhelming. Is there a way to organize them into categories or folders but have them all in the same album when it's done?

Something like this as Larry mentioned:
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.

  • I'm finally moving my photos from my PC to my MacBook Pro.  I have 8 years worth of photos organized into very specific albums.  Can I import the album structure directly into iPhoto or am I going to have to recreate everything in iPhoto?

    I'm finally moving my photos from my PC to my MacBook Pro.  I have 8 years worth of photos organized into very specific albums.  Can I import the album structure directly into iPhoto or am I going to have to recreate everything in iPhoto?

    If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
    Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
    You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
    However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
    If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.

  • How do I sort the photos in the photo pane when making a photo book?

    There's a certain order that I'd like to see the photos I want to use when making a photo book.  But the order that I have it in (which is done manually and not by date) in the album does not appear in the same order when I want to turn some of those photos into a photo book.  For some reason the photos that appear on the right side of the screen, "photo pane" show the photos in a different order.  Is there some kind of setting that I'm missing?

    No - they are in date order - the only solution I've seen is to ues teh batch change command time & Date command on the photos in the album to put them in date order to match the album  --  or just drag them to the book pages in the order you want them

  • How do you keep Tags organized when upgrading to PSE 9?

    I installed PSE 9 after using PSE 7 for the last two years. Once it installed and I opened Organizer, Organizer found my existing PSE 7 Catalog and asked if I wanted to convert it. I did, but lost the organization of my Keyword Tags. All my photos retained their Tags (I write my Tags into each photo) but I lost my organizational tree. The Tags were all found, listed alphabetically and disorganized, in the "Imported Keyword Tags" Category. In other words, Tags in categories and subcategories were mixed together. I have over 50K photos and over 150 Tags. Needless to say, it was a pain re-organizing them. Unfortunately, I was unable to view Full Screen slide shows (hitting the Play button crashed Organizer) and was advised by Support to un-install and re-install PSE 9. I REALLY do not want to have to re-organize my Keyword Tags again. Is there any way to retain my catalog's organizational tree?

    Thanks for the reply. I have used every PSE except PSE 8, in the past. When I purchased my current PC, I installed PSE 7 and rebuilt my catalog by using the "Get photos from files" function. Consequently, I had to rebuild my Keyword Tags organizational tree. When I installed PSE 9 on this same PC, it "found" my PSE 7 catalog and asked if I wanted to convert it. I clicked to agree. It converted my Catalog, which did contain Albums in PSE 7, but I lost my Tag's organizational tree and no Albums were present in PSE 9. They are still present in PSE 7. As I mentioned, tech support had me un-install and re-install PSE 9, which I did after your first reply,  and indeed the Tags appeared and were organized when I re-installed PSE 9, but again, I have no albums in PSE 9.

  • How to keep photo order when opening default photo app?

    First it concerns the default photo App: I have created an Album based on recent photos imported from the cloud, there are 125 photos in them, for some reason they are in the wrong order, i.e. by date. I know how to rearrange one photo at a time, but it's painfully slow to go through all 100s of them.
    Second, there is the iPhoto App: I downloaded iPhoto app from the iWork suite, that came free for me, it gave me an option to sort photos by date, hooray!
    BUT!! when I close iPhoto and reopen the default photo app, the photos were no longer sorted, it was the same order before the sort!
    My question is, how on earth do I sort an album in iPhoto and to keep that order when I open the album through the default photo app or indeed any other app that uses the iOS albums such as facebook etc?

    As far as i know, you can't, when using iphoto, the sort is only for iphoto, apps on ios do not have access to one anothers data, ever, you can transfer a file from one app to another app that supports the file format but then you have two independent copies of that file.

  • Iphoto keeps shutting down when making a book

    Iphoto just keeps shutting down when I am trying to make a book. Every time it shuts down, it erases most of the content of my book. Help!

    birdiemac:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where in the process does it shut down? When you try to drag a photo into the book or into a page?
    If it's when trying to add a photo, can you edit that photo without crashing and do you use Photoshop Elements or Photoshop for any of your editing?
    Do you Twango?

  • Photos missing when making Calendar

    Hello everyone,
    I am in the process of making a couple of calendars. I've noticed that after making some red eye adjustments within my photo library, iPhoto removed that photo within my available photos when making my calendar. I tried "Revert to Original" in the library, thinking that the original was no longer available due to the adjustment. No luck.
    Is this an ongoing issue? I've noticed an issue with iPhoto's calendar application being able to recognize all my photos available. I know that all of my files reside in the iPhoto Library file and I handle all my importing through iPhoto. I am stumped, any help is greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    I've noticed that after making some red eye adjustments within my photo library, iPhoto removed that photo within my available photos when making my calendar.
    Exactly what does this mean? How did you make the red eye adjustments?
    I assume that the photos no longer show up in the calender - what happens when you drag one of them back to the calendar?
    Is this an ongoing issue? I've noticed an issue with iPhoto's calendar application being able to recognize all my photos available.
    No - there is no ongoing issue with calendars in iPhoto like this. I suspect that your database is damaged but need to know more about the symptoms you are seeing - I'm not totally clear on what you are seeing - and not seeing

  • How Can I Keep Photo Data When Adding Photo To New Book?

    All of my photos in IPhoto have dates and descriptions as part of the file names. When I transfer then to make a book, all of this data goes away. Is there any way I can keep this data as a description of the photo.

    Where are you transferring the file to and how? As long as you use iPhoto the title and description remain associated with the photos. Are you referring to the title and having the title show on the book's page along with the photo? There is just one theme that displays the title: Folio
    The only way to get the description to display is to change the title to what you put in the Information/Description field. That can be done automatically with the Applescript described in my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5400478&#5400478

  • Trouble keeping photo size when dragging and dropping photo into new document on elements 12

    When trying to place an image into a new document in photoshop elements 12, I select all-copy-paste the image (or even drag it) over to the new doc created.  However, when I do this - the image does not paste in at the same size.  It typically shrinks down in size.   Do I have to save the file, close out and then open the new doc and PLACE it in the document in order for it to keep size?  There must be a better way to do this.  Basically, how can I drag a photo that is 4x6 over to a new doc while keeping the size at 4x6.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Whenever you combine two images, the resolution (ppi) of the bottom image is the resolution for everything. So if you take an image that is, say, 72 ppi, and paste that into an image at 300 ppi, the pasted object will shrink a lot. If you paste a high-res image into a low res image, the pasted object will enlarge a lot. The best way to get consistent results is to make sure that both images are at the same resolution (image>resize>image size) before you start.

  • ? a way to keep photos small when posting online??

    Hi-Im new obviously. Im wondering if there is anyway to edit my photos so they can remain one size & not be double clicked on at places like facebook & seen as a 5x7 or the standard large sz most seen there. I'd really like to know since I want to post a few things(photos) but really dont want tiny details in photo shown for privacy reasons. Any ideas? Please remember im newbie & dont know standard sizes-settings-pixels etc..  thank you very much! Ms. C

    Use File>Save for Web in the Editor. Then go to the right side of the page where the pixel dimensions are shown and reduce one side as small as you want. (As long as you leave constrain proportions turned on, the image automatically resizes on both dimensions). Click Apply, then save as a JPEG or whatever. (Click Don't Save in the editor when it asks if you want to save changes to your original).
    By using save for web you also remove the EXIF data (the information about your camera, etc), so that's more info they won't be able to get, too.

  • Iweb rearranges photo order when making galleries

    Every time I drag a group of photos to iweb to create a gallery it scrambles the alphabetical and or numerical order. How can I fix this? Help!
    I'm using a macbook pro with 2.4 ghtz chip, Mac OS X (10.5.5), iweb 2.0.4. I do not use iphoto.
    Thanks

    Are you just dragging the photos from the Finder into the photo's placeholder section? Set the folder to *icon view,* select all the photos and drag into the iWeb photo page. That should maintain the alphanumerical order that was in the folder/Finder.
    However if you have sequential numbering I suggest you pad zeros to the sequential number if they already don't have them. By that I mean -001, -002, 010, etc. If you have just -1, -2 -10, they will not import correctly. You'll get -1, -10, -2, -20, etc. If you don't have sequential numbers tacked on the end of the file name then it should be a straight alphanumerical import.

  • IPhoto crashing when making new album or almost anything!

    Hi - I've been having this issue for months and am trying again now to resolve it as I'm tired of having it. Here's what I've tried:
    1) Holding down Option when launching to create a new library to see if it replicates (still crashes)
    2) Rebuilding the library
    3) Using the program often reccommended on this forum that rebuilds libraries or creates new ones (can't remember the name now - tried that in May)
    4) Deleting the program and the files associated with it, reinstalling it from the App Store - no effect
    I'll post the source code below - let me know if more code would be helpful. My iPhoto worked fine on my old mac laptop but when I purchased my new macbook pro in March (with Lion) and transferred all my information over with migration assistant all the problems started - it has never worked once. Some instructions on here seem to point to re-installing the OS (Lion) but I don't see why I need to do that given the computer came with it?! If that's truly the only option can someone point me to a threw that outlines in detail how to reinstall it from the beginning (and with Lion I don't have a disc, which makes me nervous).

    I've since re-installed OS X Lion and tried verifying/repairing disk permissions to follow the first suggestion. My iPhoto is up to date (actually on 9.4.2 now), and I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5. I just tried iPhoto again and here is what I am now reading (see below). In re: to Quicktime, I've read on a few forums that it's an integral part of OSX and I can't delete it. I'm not sure how true that is, but I would have thought re-installing Lion would make an impact. Is there any point/help in upgrading to Mountain Lion?

  • Why do i keep getting denied when making a purchase through a game

    i have made purchases before but now i get denied why?

    That would be highly unusual, since the Apple ID is almost always the email address, unless it's changed later, and normally has to be unique to set up a new Apple ID. In any case, if you have two Apple IDs (or more), you probably need to authorize the computer using both.
    Regards.

    Recently I noticed that when I change the name of a photo (correcting a mistake) it always goes back to the previous name, keeping the mistake I'm trying to correct. A spelling mistake, for example. As I keep my photos organized by name and not by date, this is very annoying.
    And today it won't even read my camera's sd card, and I try with 2 different ones. If I restart the computer, leaving the memory card in, then it reads it; but if I pull it out and push it back in it doesn't see it. Whath am I doing wrong, if anything?
    Diane

    Where/how are you trying to change the name? If it is in Finder (after you've downloaded the pics to your desktop), highlight the pic icon and press Return. the name field will change and you can type in your new name. Hit Return again. That should make it "stick".  If you're trying to do it elsewhere, please post the steps that you've tried.
    As for your card: do you eject it properly? Either drag icon to trash or hit the eject symbol in the sidebar?

  • TS1314 I have lots of organized photos on my PC and I want to keep them organized to sync to ipad.... how is the best way to do this?

    I have spent a lot of time saving, organizing and arranging photos (for the last 7 years) on my PC, and would like to know the best way to transfer these, AND MAINTAIN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE FOLDERS, to my new ipad (and later, my iphone). I have a really good system, and I do not want to have to do it all over again, on the ipad. I DO NOT want to subscribe to another monthly service fee (i.e. the iCloud) but DO have iTunes on my PC.
    What is the simplest method to do this ?  I have tried synching, but, each time have lost photos (on my ipad) OR have had NO ORGANIZATION AT ALL to the photos once synced.  I have all these photos (5.6gb) in the My Pictures folder, then subdivided into years, then subdivided into events and months within the years.  So, my transfer of the My Picures folder, completely transfers all of them, but with NO further organization.  Again, I have spent years doing this, and don't want to have to re-invent the wheel. 
    Can someone advise (or even better, lead me to a youtube video) that accurately shows the best way to do this ?
    Thank you, in advance, for your help.
    p.s.  I particularly enjoy Dan Nations very informative articles on how to get the best from my products.  And, wish Apple would explain "how it works" regarding the syncing methods on the Operating System.  It is the only thing I "don't get" about using my iPad..... meanwhile I LOVE my new mini ! ! ! ! ! ! ! thanks Apple, for keeping things simple.... Please don't change that !

    Correct, it will only be one-level, the Photos app doesn't support sub-albums - the sub-folders photos will be included in the parent's album.
    If you select My Pictures at the top of the Photos tab when syncing, then you should get an album for each folder that is directly under it - so if I understand correctly what you described then that would mean an album for 2013, one for 2012 etc. And each of those should include all the photos in the subfolders under it - so 2013 would include the photos from the events and months subfolders under it.
    You can't sync them separately, only the contents of the last sync remains on the iPad, by not including a folder in the next photo sync you are effectively telling iTunes that you no longer want that folder/album on the iPad so it will be removed and be replaced by the contents of the new sync (you can't delete synced photos directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync).
    The app that I use, Photo Manager Pro, allows you to select and copy a folder (via FTP), but you would need to select each subfolder individually, which if you have a lot would be time-consuming (I think that if you select '2013' it would ignore the folders beneath it).

Maybe you are looking for
