Missing editing toolbar in Iphoto to make a picture book

I'm trying to make an iphoto picture book but I'm missing an editing toolbar so I have no editing options.  When I go to "View" then "Show in Toolbar" - there are no editing options. Can somepone please point me in the right direction?

Where are the editing options missing? When you are browsing your book project, or when you are browsing an event or album?
In a book project, you can activate the editor by ctrl-clicking (or right-clicking) a photo in the book when you are viewing a page, and selecting  "Edit" from the contextual menu.

  • Missing edited photos from iPhoto after Force Quit

    I just lost about 50 photos.  I'm using a separate application to edit my photos before transferring them to my iPhoto Library.  A couple hours in to editing I received an error message and had to force quit both iPhoto and my other photo editing app.  I had been adding each photo I edited to iPhoto as I went along, then deleted the unedited version (emptying my trashcan also).  After reopening iPhoto, all the pictures I had edited were gone and the original versions were back in the library.
    Any clues as to how this happened and if it's possible to retrieve my edited photos?

    Why are you deleting the unedited versions?
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • Edited RAW files used to make a photo book

    I am posting a question that I mistakenly posted in the wrong support community. 
    I have photos in both RAW and JPEG format.  I know that when a RAW file is edited it is saved as a JPEG.  I noticed that the size of the edited RAW file is often smaller than the same JPEG photo. (Sometimes it's up to 2MB or more difference.)  Believing that a larger size photo has more detail do you recommend using one file format over the other (edited RAW v. JPEG) to create an iBook?  What is the smallest size photo recommended for a photobook?
    I use iPhoto'11.
    Thanks.

    I know that when a RAW file is edited it is saved as a JPEG.
    It's not since iPhoto 08. When you process a Raw the decisions you make are recorded in the database and a Preview is made. This preview is what's used in Media Browsers and the like - essentially any time you share a photo except via File -> Export. But the edits are never fixed or committed.
      I noticed that the size of the edited RAW file is often smaller than the same JPEG photo. (Sometimes it's up to 2MB or more difference.)
    That's the difference between the camera's jpeg and the iPhoto Preview. The Preview is a medium quality version - a sort of "good for most things" version. If you export you can create much bigger files.
    Believing that a larger size photo has more detail
    Not necessarily so... It is less compressed, that's all.
    do you recommend using one file format over the other (edited RAW v. JPEG) to create an iBook?
    THere's no right answer. No matter what, you can't print the Raw so it's either going to be the camera Jpeg or one created by iPhoto from the Raw. If you don't want to process the image yourself or if you feel what you can do wuth the image is not better than the camera, it might be worth asking yourself why you're shooting Raw at all? And if you feel that what you do with the Raw is better than the camera creates, you might ask yourself why you're shooting the Jpeg at all.
    What will print best is the best shot, regardless of whether the camera processed it or you did.

  • Which version of iPhoto to make/purchase a book?

    I'm running OS X v.10.4.11 on my MacBook with iPhoto 6.0.6 and apparently I need to upgrad my iPhoto to order and purchase a book of photos I'm making. Any idea which version of iPhoto I'll need?

    It's hard to know what version you need.
    Your current version 6 was part of iLife '06. iPhoto is part of iLife '08 and runs on OS 10.4.x. iPhoto is part of iLife '09, but it requires OS 10.5.x.

  • When i click the edit tool on iPhoto, iDVD opens up every time. Now i am not able to use my edit tool. Why is this happening?

    I cannot edit any of my photos in iPhoto. When I click the edit tool on iPhoto, iDVD opens up every single time in my iMac toolbar. I cannot edit, crop or make changes to my photos. Is anything corrupt in my computer? Thanks in advance..

    Check the Preferences settings in iPhoto. You may have set iDVD as external editor.
    Set "Preferences > Advanced > Edit Photos" to "In iPhoto".

  • How 2 get edited photo from iphoto app back into iPhoto?

    I have the new iPhoto app.
    I can't seem to get my edit photos back into iPhoto on my imac.
    I thought save to iTunes would do it but it doesn't seem to do anything.
    Sure would like to just go back to my mac and find the photo updated.
    I have the photo stream turned off and just sync with a cable.
    Problem 2
    The photos and albums seem to be in random order.  This makes it almost impossible to find the photo I want to edit.
    Can anybody please help?

    <If you are using the cable: Connect your iPad > open iPhoto > select your iPad on the left under devices > Import <button top right of iPhoto (blue button).
    < 
    <Do not import through iTunes.
    Sorry - that was no help.
    If I edit a photo in e iPhoto app then connect and bring up iPhoto on my mac the iPad device has no photos to import.
    I have imported hundreds of photos from iPhones and iPads - I know how to import.
    Even if there was a photo laying there to import - that is not what I want because...
    Imagine if I had 100 photos then edited all 100 photos on my iPad.
    Then if I imported them I would now have 200 photos in iPhoto on my mac.
    I want the edited photo to update the original just as tho I edited it in iPhoto on my mac.
    So I could "Revert to Original" if I needed to but probably never would.
    So the question is when you share to iTunes where does it go?
    Also the new album it creates "Edited" - What's the story on that?

  • Urgent - No editing toolbar showing up

    When I log in to manage a site and update my editable regions, my editing toolbar/functions are not appearing anywhere. I've not had this problem before and have been updating this site regularly for 6 months. Any ideas why?
    Thanks

    Hi Barbara,
    Yes, I did have a look at the problem. It seems that the call that the InContext Editing makes to know which is the default page of the site takes a lot of time, in your case. By the time your webserver responds to the call, the Flex interface that loads the editing options times out, and you are taken out of the editing environment.
    In order to investigate this further, we will need FTP connection details for your site. Please send us an e-mail to [email protected] with your FTP connection information: FTP server, username, password and host directory setting.
    Thank you,
    Florin
    P.S: As a temporary workaround, you should be able to edit the site if you navigate to the full URL, containing the page name, and then hit CTRL+E. Meaning, go to http://site.com/index.html and than CTRL+E and login - you should be able to edit the index.html page.

    Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11.  Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
    images directly from iPhoto.    Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
    in iPhoto 11.  Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank. 
    And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
    From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6  to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
    When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
    Please advise. Glenys

    This may be of help to you:
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • How to save photoshop CS5 extended edited photos in iphoto on Mac?

    Hi this is my first post on here, so i'm unsure if i have put my question in the right place? etc....?
    I have only just purchased CS5 extended and have just been on a intro course, and today decided to edit a few of my photos in photoshop.
    i opened my photo from iphoto and edited it fine, that part was fairly easy to do, once i had finished i then went to file to save my photo, which i thought was straight forward as per click on 'save' once i had done that i closed the photo down, then moved onto another photo to edit.
    after which i was looking through the iphoto folder, and i noticed that the photos i had edited using photoshop were still showing the parts of the picture that i had edited out i.e. overhead cables were showing in the picture! when i clicked on the photo to make it larger the edited version appeared.. i.e. no cables were showing!!
    now am i going mad here, how has this happened? the next time i did a 'save as' and selected to save as and replace the original, but yet again the small picture in the folder is still displaying the original, now how am i going to know which photos have been edited and which haven't unless i click on them to make them large and show up the edited version!!!!!  do i need to save the edited photo in a differnt way?
    sorry for the long post but i wanted to give you all the info i thought might be of help.
    Many thanks if you have read this far and i await your comments....Marie

    Forget about iPhoto. Honestly.
    iPhoto doesn't play nice with Photoshop—or any other program, as a matter of fact.
    iPhoto uses a "libraries" paradigm and buries your images deep in "packages" only iPhoto can access.  (Sure, there are workarounds, but what a hassle!).
    I routinely delete the iPhoto application from all my OS X installs.
    I suppose what you can do—if you insist on using that program—is to open the Photoshop-edited image with iPhoto and do a Save As from iPhoto itself.

  • Editing photos on iPhoto

    Sometimes I want to edit photos through iPhoto, but I dont want it to change on facebook if I had previously uploaded. How can I do that?

    the best way is to use two photos - duplicate it (command - D) and edit the duplicate

    BTW - it is best to set web syncing to manual in the iPhoto preferences to make iPhoto launch faster

  • Do referenced iPhoto pics reflect editing done in iPhoto?

    I'm an Aperture newbie and am mulling the pros and cons of importing versus referencing my iPhoto library in Aperture. While I think I've got the basics of that question down, there's one question I have: if I reference (or, for that matter, import) photos from iPhoto, does Aperture see the edits that have been done in iPhoto (cropping, saturation, etc), or are the files the "masters"?
    Thanks!

    When you edit a photo in iPhoto it makes a new file. You then have two files, the Original and the Modified version.
    WHen you import an iPhoto Library, or drag an Event or photo over from the browser, Aperture brings over both versons and stacks them.
    This is true regardless of whether you manage or reference the files in Aperture.

  • Is it possible for two users on seperate Macs to edit the same iPhoto Library

    Hi,
    I've recently been on an overseas trip with my partner, and now we have 5000 photos to sort through, tag, and add descriptions for.
    Is it possible for us to access the same iPhoto library on each of our Macs to make it faster to sort through the photos? If so, how do I go about setting this up? We have a third mac, might it be better to move the iPhoto Library to that, make it act as server of sorts, and our other two macs as clients?

    Yes it is possible, but there are a few caveats.
    A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries. 
    Only one of you can access the Library at a time. You can't both be working on the project at the same time.
    iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
    Quit iPhoto in both machines. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    On each machine in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both machines will have full access to the library, in fact, both machines will 'own' it.

  • Editing photos outside iPhoto

    After exporting and editing photos outside iPhoto with Lightroom, is there a simple way to bring them back to iPhoto 7. Since the iPhoto libraries are now packages, Lightroom cannot export in the iPhoto library subfolders like the Modified and Originals subfolders.

    MacYQB:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just to be sure, you do have Lightroom set up in iPhoto's General preferences section as the application to use like this when you double click on a thumbnail in iPhoto right. If that's the case then when you finish with your edit, and you don't change the file format a normal save should save the modified version in the Modified folder and the thumbnail gets updated. Here's what Photoshop's save menu looks like when it's the editor. I haven't tried Lightroom to know how it handles edits and saves. You may have to do a save as to the desktop and import as a new file.
    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.

  • BUG: Toggling interface on/off causes missing menu toolbar items and icons in Photoshop CS4!

    When I toggle the interface on/off it causes missing menu toolbar items and icons until I exit and restart Photoshop CS4.  I know this can happen if problem filters are installed.  So I have the latest Alien Skin filters installed and have already followed their AutoLayer2.8li file updates to resolve Windows Photoshop CS4 issues.  I also have Luxology imageSynth 2.0 filter installed.  So since all my filters are updated to CS4 compatible versions, I shouldn't have this problem but yet it occurs.  Any way to fix this?
    I'm using WinXP SP2, 4 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 with newest 185.85 driver.  I have 3D canvas rotation turned on.

    What do you mean by this? Are you using standard methods (i.e. the buttons on the top-right of the screen) in Windows Explorer to minimize and then restore? or what?
    Are you on XP 64-bit? or 32-bit?
    Did you install driver version 185.85 before or after the problem started?
    Do you just one GTX 260, or are you doing SLI at all?
    Do you have more one monitor? If so, and you limit yourself to just one, do you still have the problem?
    Also, just to make sure that this problem wasn't somehow caused by your plug-ins (because I have seen onOne plug-ins, at least, that install several DLL files and you can't disable DLLs by renaming with ~ like with plug-in files), or caused by a messed up install of PS, go ahead and repair the PS install. Follow the "Restore the default set of Photoshop CS4 plug-ins" section in this document, except that after Step 3 (or Step 5, if you're on 64-bit Windows) get rid of the entire "Adobe Photoshop CS4" folder from Program Files (and the one in Program Files (x86) if you're on 64-bit Windows):
