Location of Pictures for Photo vs iPhoto

Where are all my pictures stored once they were moved from iPhoto to Photo? Why does synch in iTunes only give the default location of Pictures rather than Photo library??

They remain in each library in your /Home/Pictures/ folder. Change the sync setting in iTunes - be sure you get the recently updated version.

ITunes 'Match' like for photos an iPhoto on the cloud and Preview

iTunes ‘Match’ like for photos. 250.000 photos ($250 1 year).
It's all I need… 250.000 thumbnails on my iPad and the original on the iClod… like iTunes Match. Thanks.
I have icloud 55 GB. Preview on Mac accept my photos, but if my Mac got stolen I lose my photos on iCloud too? Preview keep the original on the 'invisible' Library, so, make noo sense, I need the local storage.
Photo Strream downgrade the resolution and it's limited in many ways. I hate Dropbox, Picasa e cia. I need an Apple service.

Hello David,
It sounds like you have an Aperture album that you are trying to transfer to the album section of the Photos app on your iPad. I recommend following these steps to sync the Aperture album over to your iPad:
To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
Select "Sync Photos from."
Choose the application you want to sync photos from in the pop up menu.
Choose to sync all photos or selected photos. Select "Include videos" to sync videos stored with your photo library.
Click Apply.

Find the file location of picture using Photos app?

I could not find the original photo file location anymore using Photos app. Anybody?

I have the same question. In iPhoto I used the Menu command to "Locate in Finder," and if the image had been edited, I would have the choice of locating either the original file or the modified file.
In Photos I see there is a menu item File>Show Referenced File in Finder, but it hasn't been selectable for me from any view I've found so far, so I'm not confident it's even meant to do the same thing. I would like to get to my files outside of Apple's software, do I need to opt out altogether?

ITunes backup for photos vs. iPhoto

When backing up photos from my iPhone, will iTunes automatically do this, or should I just transfer them to iPhoto?
Cheers!

Hi flag8r77,
I would always import them to iPhoto. There you can organize, edit and set locations/faces more easily. The Albums you create you can then sync back on your iPhone for better overview. Further more your iTunes backup will only store the current state of images. in iPhoto you can store them far back.
Hope this helped

Fonts for photo albums - iphoto 09

I'm using ilife 09 to make a hardcover photo book. I want to use the Hiragino Minco Pro font that was available in the previous version of iphoto on the cover, flaps and intro page. It didn't show up in settings menu so I copied and pasted it from a previous photo book onto these pages in the new book. It looks fine on the page and the font shows up in settings menu. But there is an exclamation point in red triangle in the subhead on cover it says type doesn't fit. The settings tool won't let me change the size, and actually won't let me change the font (I chose 6 pt and it still says it won't fit).
Question: Because I copied and pasted it will it actually show up correctly when book is printed at Apple? Since the font doesn't change on the page when I change it in the settings tool, it seems like something isn't connecting correctly.
Question: What does the W3 and W4 mean next to the font name in Settings. I only see it next to the Hiragino Minco Pro (where as Helvetica has choices of Regular, ital, etc.)
Question: Now that ilife 11 is out, will I be able to publish this new book without having to upgrade? If so, I might have more font problems if Apple discontinues some of the 09 fonts.
Thanks!

The triangle indicates that there is some overflow of text in the text box. Does all the text appear in the text box? If it does then maybe there's a return or some spaces that are causing the overflow.
If you can't reduce the size so that the text fits the order will probably be cancelled. You can and should check the book before ordering by right-clicking on the background of the All Pages view and select Preview Book:
Click to view full size
Then save the preview as a PDF file. This will give you the same PDF file that is sent to Apple for printing. If the text displays correctly there then it will print.
If you are unable to get the font to fit you may have to resort to creating a custom page. That will require, however, using an image editor that can handle layers:
Some Image Editors that support layers:
Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
GraphicConverter - $45
Rainbow Painter - $30
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Pages from the iWork suite of applications can be used also.
and following the instructions in this tutorial: Old Toad's Tutorial #19 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.

WHERE is Metadata stored for photos in iPhoto?

I need to find out WHERE all the information I have entered for various photos in my 3000+ photo collection is physically stored.
So, when I bring up a photo, from within iPhoto, and enter a Title, date, time, Comments, etc. WHERE does iPhoto actually put that information? More importantly, I need to BACK-UP that data, so need to know where it's stored to do that.
I just moved a folder within the iPhoto Library folder ( A B-I-G 'No-No' obviousely! ) and BOOM... all my photos were GONE, along with MONTHS worth of time it took me to organize, label and notate information on every single photo in my library - most were scanned in from those boxes of photos we all have under our beds, etc. and they contained only the date I brought them into iPhoto. Since I have photos going back to the mid-eighteen hundreds, dates in 2003 or 2005 don't quite hack it! Now I'm starting from scratch to do it all again, and want to make SURE I am able to back-up that data this time.
Thansk...

Vic:
For future reference there are a couple of Applescripts for copying the EXIF information from iPhoto to a file and/or back to iPhoto - http://scriptbuilders.net/files/iphotoiptckeywordimportexportutilities1.0.html.
iPhoto does not do a great job in keeping metadata/EXIF info tied to the files except within iPhoto itself and, as you've experienced, that can be fragile. Image management applications like iView MediaPro write nearly all annotations directly back to the file itself.

Portrait mode format for photos in iPhoto books?

Attenton Apple Execs (Jonathan Ive in particular) - How about creating at least ONE Book format that incorporates portrait mode (vertical) photos well? This question was put out to Apple in discussions in 2010 and archived. In 2014 - still no such format!
Where is Apple's "user experience" crew when we need them?
You guys, with iPhones and iPads, have moved the world to a much more portrait mode still and video orientation.
Can we please, please, please .... have an accomodating Book Format in iPhoto? I know you are really proud of the face recognition and other sophisticated featurs in recent editions of iPhoto, but we poor users are still without a basic book capability.
Ideally, all the existing formats could be expanded with a few pages to accomodate vertical images better.
Wow us....with "one more thing!"

Sorry to inform you but Jonathan Ive is not here - no Apple exects are here. In face Apple is not here. As you are aware this is totally a user to user assistance forum manned only by volenteer users
If you want to contact Apple use the contact us link at the bottom of every page of these forums - or the iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto feedback

When I try to adjust the date and time of an event by selecting Photos from iPhoto, the year I enter is altered.

I have images in iPhoto from an older digital camera which did not record the date and time. In iPhoto, with an event selected, I have tried to adjust the date and time by choosing Photo. When I adjust the date and check Modify original files, it makes the date much earlier--in centuries. I now have an event from August 2003 (the date I entered) which reads June 2, 1251 under the event! When I attempt to correct it, it goes back further in time. What am I doing wrong?

(I use iPhoto only to import from my iPhone; I organize all my images, including thousands of RAW files, in folders on a big external drive.)
Why are you using iPhoto at all? use image capture or drag and drop the photos
The problem is that the files I am copying are getting stripped of the EXIF metadata
eliminating iPhoto from your work flow will eliminate one oppertunity to have this happen For photos in iPhoto it is best to export them rather than drag an drop them - this assures your EXIF and IPTC data is correct and uptodate
Why would I be able, over many years, to retain EXIF metadata in photos imported from an iPhone--then one day find that the same workflow strips such photos of EXIF data?
Because exporting is the supported way to "export" photos - I never drag and drop photos out of iPhoto and I never use thrid party programs on the photos in the iPhoto library - try exporting as suggested above and see if that is the solution

File names for photos on iPad?

How do find the file name for photos in iPhoto on the iPad?

To the best of my knowledge, you can't do it on the iPad. But after syncing, you can just click on a given photo in iPhoto and the name will appear in the "title" field in the Information box on the left-hand side of the iPhoto window.
(Make sure you have that little icon of an "i" in a circle checked in the bottom left corner next to the search bar, or you won't see the Information pane.)

Can't pick photos from iPhoto as wallpaper

Hi,
The photo picker in System Preferences > Destop & Screen Saver doesn't work for photos in iPhoto anymore. It shows Apple, iPhoto and Folders but there is no content in iPhoto, nothing no Events no albums. And it doesn't seem to be loading (no beachball).
The iPhoto Library is very large, so is there a limitation?
The photo picker in iWeb for example is working fine, though.
Reimporting every photo into a new library didn't make any difference.
Many thanks!

I found this thread describing the exact same problem.

I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

How can i put my pictures from my picture files into my iPhotos for photo streaming onto my apple tv?

Hi, I am a new user to iMac and have now bought just about every Mac product you can think of and have just taken delivery of an Apple TV and now want to stream photos but don't know how to transfer photos from my picture files over into my iPhotos for Photo Streaming. Is there an easy way? I have Mac for Dummies but they don't mention it there!! Guess it's too dummy for them!!! Any one out there can help me as I have loads of pics I would like to see on the big screen from time to time

You need to connect the Apple TV and the computer to the same network and then turn on "Home Sharing" in iTunes. Check boxes allow you to select what you want to share.
You'll see a "Computer" icon on the Apple TV and it holds all your music, movies and photos.

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

How can i set the location of my pictures in photos app for mac osx?

Not every photo I import into my MacBook have all the metadata in them. iPhoto allowed for setting the location, but in Photos I cannot manage to do so. Is there another way to do it or perhaps it's coming with an update?
Thanks
MacBook Mid-2010
OSX Yosemite 10.10.3
Photos 1.0

Adding location data is not yet supported in Photos.
And we do not know, if future updates will support this feature. It might help, if you send back feedback to Apple with a feature request. You can use this form: Apple - Photos - Feedback
As a work-around, use third party apps to add location data before you import the photos to Photos.
You could, for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
See: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, there are many more ..
I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.
