Media Viewer - iPhoto image titles?

Hi,
In iWork '05 all iPhoto images in the media viewer were titled. This was extremely useful for me as I do commercial greeting card production using pages and use images achieved numerically in iPhoto for quick import into Pages when fulfilling orders.
But I have noticed that since upgrading to iWork '08, there are no longer titles under my images when viewed in the Media Browser.
Any ideas how to turn titles back on?

Hi Will,
Do a Control click on the photos then choose Display as list. Now you'll see three columns, Name, Date and Size. You have Show Columns that give you two more options, Dimensions and Kind
Hope this helps you
Sincerely,
RicD

How substitute iPhoto image titles for filenames?

Hello!
I have spent many, many hours giving intelligible titles to my photos in iPhoto.
I did not realise the distinction between "image title" and "filename".
In future I will change the filenames.
But I have this legacy of thousands of images with meaningless filenames.
Is there any easy way to substitute the titles for the filenames?
Is there a batch renamer which would be capable of extracting the title of an image so that I could then use it?
Thanks very much!

Whoa first things first:
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
If you are running a Managed Library then yes, those folders can go.
If you're xporting as Original I can't see why there would be any change in the file size. What export setting are you using?
On a broader note: you're used to working with files. iPhoto is different way of working and to grasp it you need to distinguish between the File and the Photo inside it. They are not the same thing.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.

Have iPhoto image titles been erased with Photos?

When I used iPhoto, I gave all my images explicit titles, and my albums were organised by those titles. I've now migrated to Photos, but all the images seem to be untitled, so I can no longer sort by those titles. Is there some way the titles can be retrieved, or does Photos not use user-defined image titles?

A little bit more exploration has revealed that the titles are not lost. If I select an image and 'get info', the title I gave appears - presumably that is the image filename. But to give the image that title back, I have to copy and paste. Is there any easy way of doing that for the 6000 images already in my Photos library?

Focus Delay When Viewing iPhoto Images

When I open up images in iPhoto there is a few seconds before the pictures snap into focus. I am running a 2009 macbook pro with 4gb of ram and SSD. I have tested this on many different macs and the problem is always the same.
I am working with Pentax RAW files and it is more noticeable when viewing full screen. It is pretty annoying having to wait a few seconds to see my pictures in focus.
Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

Yes it is slow with RAW files. My iMac is the latest model and I noticed after I switched my camera from JPG to RAW that now the files take a few (more like 5) seconds before they snap into focus.

How can I view backed up iPhoto images from another computer?

Hi! I have an iMac, and a MacBook Pro. I have backed up both my iMac and MBP to a Seagate FreeAgent 1 TB external hard drive. I am going abroad, and I want to delete my photos from my MBP. Before I do that I want to be sure that I can still be able to view them on MBP while I am away instead of keeping them on my computer. So, I went into my iMac backup on my MBP and I tried to open my iPhoto Library, but I received this message... "The iPhoto library is a Time Machine backup, and so cannot be used as the main library. Reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library."
Is there anyway to be able to open both of my iPhoto libraries that are backed up on my hard drive with both my computers? Or can I only view the images on the computer they were originally on? Because in that case then I can't delete the photos from my MBP like I had planned.
Thank you!!!

You can't open them with iPhoto but you can view and restore individual photos in the backups. See the gray box towards the end of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15.

Cannot view horizontal images in Iphoto

All of the my photos are viewable in Iphoto as thumbnails, but when I try to view the horizontal photos from the thumbnails I get a grey screen with an Exclamation point in the middle instead of the actual photo... The photos I previously turned vertical are opening fine... Also, I can open/view all images when not in IPhoto... How do I fix this?

I got it to work... I had been adding my modified images to the modified folder in iphoto, instead of putting them in their own folder... once I removed the photos I had added, everything started working as normal... Thank-you for your help! I would have never figured it out...

My title and description info on my iPhoto images do not import to Aperture with the image

My title and description info on my iPhoto images do not import to Aperture 3.2 with the image. Is this just the default setting and if so, is there a way to import all the info?

Help with viewing raw images in iPhoto 6

Hi:
When viewing raw images from my camera (a Canon 20D) in a large or full screen format, after about 5 seconds I see at least a dozen tiny white dots on the image. These occur 100% of the time.
If I "retouch" the image and save it, they go away.
Also, they never appear if I shoot and import JPEGS from the same camera?
Is this a bug in iPhoto 6 and, if not, can someone explain or help me with this?
Thank you!

I have the same camera so i checked out the raw images--sorry no spots show up.

You should get your keyboard checked as it's repeating on a lot of keys and makes you look silly.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$
I could use iPhoto images in Media Browser before the update - is this happening to anyone else?
I have restarted... no change. Maybe I'll try opening and closing iPhoto once.

Thanks for the reply.
I am on Pages 2 also... Hmmm, Perhaps I just don't know what I am doing - New to Pages. I see my Library, Last Roll and all my albums in the Media Browser but when I double click one of them nothing happens - Is there some other way to open them?

IWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 can't load iPhoto images in media browser

Ever since yesterday, my iWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 have been experiencing problems loading iPhoto 09 images in the media browser. I have no problems loading my audio files, movie files, and widgets, but when it comes to iPhoto picture files, the system just hangs. Luckily, it doesn't crash; it just says "Loading iPhoto images" forever.
I'm guessing that the problem is with iPhoto 09, because the media browser has no problems loading my Aperture picture files.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get iWeb, Pages, and Keynote to load my iPhoto pics in the media browser?
Thanks!

1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there (Your Donor Library).
3. Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
4. Find the following files
AlbumData.xml
AlbumData2.xml
and move them to the desktop.
5. Close up the Library and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild those files which are key to sharing.
Then restart the other apps and see does that help.
By the way: where is your Library? On the Start Up Disk? On an external?

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_1.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage?

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_2.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage_2?

When you drag images from iPhoto to iWeb, iWeb retains the original filename.
When you use a mask, iWeb creates a png file with the shapeimage name.
So do not use a mask and crop your images before dropping them on the iWeb canvas.
When you use an irregularly shaped mask, then png files are created. They have to be png because of the transparency of the shape.
You can use a 3rd party application to create the png images yourself, and give them a proper name.
Or use the published png files, rename them and drop them back onto the iWeb canvas, while first removing the previous images.

IPhoto images will not appear in Media browser

After updating my iLife apps (iLife '09), iPhoto images no longer appear in my media browser. In iMovie, it just says "Loading iPhoto Images", but never does. I am using a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 and 2 GB memory. Images will not appear in iDVD either. Anyone have any thoughts?

Do you still have the old library? Rebuilding it with iPhoto Library Manager would preserve most of your work.
This will creates a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Badges on iPhoto images? Edited images? huh?

I am an Aperture newbie. There, I got it out right away.
I thought I had brought all my iPhoto images into the Aperture Library, but the iPhoto library appears as blue folders and albums in the Aperture Projects panel, and when I select an album, for instance, the image in the Browser and Viewer show a little tag icon (badge?) in the lower right and the metadata panel shows the master file is still in the iPhoto library.
Confusion-where is the master, really? and what are these duplicate images with the keyword "iPhoto Edited"?
I have read through the Getting Started manual and part of the full 400+ page pdf manual, no luck yet with this basic concept.

It's not really a curvy arrow-more like a vertical box, narrowing at the top, with two horizontal lines inside, and a string looking thing from the top, curving left and down. Appears as white on black, in the lower right corner of the image.
When I began using Aperture, I was sure I had brought in all my iPhoto library to live in the Aperture library, so it could back it all up with the Vault. I'll have to look at that consolidate option.
Now it makes more sense about the iPhoto edited, except the first batch of images I noticed this for, I had not touched in iPhoto other than to look at them once or twice, oh, aha, and named them, maybe that was the edit, giving them an iPhoto title.
Thanks! (PS-I tried to click 'helpful' on your message but that took me to a discussions error page)
