Move image in Pages document to iPhoto

I received some photos that were imbedded in a Word document as images. I want to transfer the photos to iPhoto to use in a slideshow. How can I transfer them from Word or Pages to iPhoto?
The person that sent them to me is a newbie and deleted the original jpg's, so the ones in the Word document are the only copies we have. I'm sure there has to be a way! Thanks for your help!

If the resolution of a photo is not high to begin, then it would not have been high resolution no matter what... even if it could have been "pulled off" the pages document as originally hoped. The question did not state whether the photos were of high quality or not. I do not think that was the original question. I believe the question was asking how to capture the photos that were still available.
You get the exact image with the highest available resolution and quality if you drag the file's icon from the Metrics pallette.
It is easy enough to change a png into a JPEG while using iPhoto just by highlighting the photo and clicking on e-mail. THEN, the photo can be dragged off the e-mail as a JPEG into a folder, or wherever. Multiple photos can be changed from png to JPEG through use of e-mail.
You can directly change any image into any other format using Preview by simply resaving it.
Converting an image to JPEG degrades it. JPEG is a lossy format, it works by throwing away some of the information in the image and clustering the pixels in a way that forms artifacts.
I do think that using a screenshot offers a viable solution to the question, when no other option is available to salvage an original picture from a pages document.
Except dragging the original file (which is stored inside the document bundle) is the way to get at the image. The point is that your method is like using your home video camera to record a movie from a TV screen instead of directly from the DVD.

  • How do I export Pages document into iPhoto

    How do I export Pages document into iPhoto?

    Hi PhilipFG and FoxFifth,
    I've been using the same process Pages > PDF > iPhoto.  However, when it gets to iPhoto there's a lot of waiting around time for it to allow me to do anything i.e. cropping, enhancing.  The little coloured ball is just turning and turning. It's not happy to be there!  There is a big difference (it appears) in the resolution when it ends up in iPhoto using this process.  The images have shadows.  My business partner has an older Mac and can export directly to iPhoto from Pages without having to create a PDF first.  Perhaps this is just an option on the older one but she now can't open the pages file I send to her either.  Besides the fact that she clearly needs a new Mac...has anyone any further updates on what else can be done to export directly to iPhoto?  TIA

  • Moving an images in a pages document to iphoto...how?

    How do you get an image in pages into iphoto? The image name is Signature Blue Color.gif? I am not sure where the original is, but I have it in a pages document.
    How do you use an image in pages as an Inspector, fill, image fill without moving it to iphoto first? I don't think you can.
    thanks

    It would help if you gave us a few breadcrumbs of information.
    Such as which template you are referring to.
    Select the graphic:
    +Inspector > Metrics > File Info > drag the file's icon to your desktop+

  • Can't adjust images in pages document

    a bunch of jpgs of artwork will not allow me to adjust them in pages
    the adjust window will pop up, but will not allow me to adjust any parameters
    whereas most other jpgs will work just fine making adjustments
    help!! what is wrong that pages won't let me adjust some jpgs?

    Here's the explanation.  When I transferred the document to Pages, I did a copy and paste of the text boxes and graphics.  What I didn't understand was that, after they were in Pages, they would no longer need to be edited.
    I have been printing the brochure from the Pages document for months.  It wasn't until now that I needed to edit it.  It came as a surprise to discover that in copying and pasting text boxes between these two applications, I lost the ability to edit them.
    I have now selected the text from the original document and created a new text box in Pages and pasted the text into it.  It can now be edited further if necessary.
    Thanks for discovering where my error was.
    The original brochure was created as an Appleworks Draw document and cannot be opened in Pages.  Before I upgrade my iMac from OS 10.6.8 to Maverick, I need to make sure that I have created fresh Pages documents whenever I used a Draw document in Appleworks.
    The dilemma is solved.  Thank you.

  • Can't select images in Pages 5.2 from updated older Pages document

    I have a Pages document created 18 months ago.  Upon trying to open and edit in the new Pages 5.2, none of my images in the sidebar (outside my main body margins) are now selectable.  In prior Pages versions you had some feature to allow you to select images in background.  No longer can I find out how to do this.  This I have a document template with images that are unselectable.
    I can't be the only one facing this dilemma. Of course my proposal is due tomorrow and my old documents-as-templates are now worthless.
    Anybody?  (the documentation is so weak it simply states to "select image" before any feature explanation on manipulating etc..)

    No, VikingOSX very sound comment didn't help because no older versions were not saved when Applecare did a clean install of Mavericks after my machine fix.  All I have is Pages 5.2.
    The "hijack" comment was that you insist I downgrade my Pages version, when my question was related to how to do something in 5.2.   App store does not let me download any older versions nor does the link you provided give me instructions on how to download older version.  It stated that it was a popup option "Download an older version of this app?"  However, I do not get that option when I try. 
    1: Not an option as I will not waste the time and many app upgrades which utilize Mavericks as my daily workflow to downgrade my entire system to an older OSX version just for Pages.  That is unreasonable and very timeconsuming and will cause many of my Mavericks upgraded applications to not work any longer (yes, I have researched each app to determine a versioning punchlist if I were to downgrade OSX, and many current daily applications are versioned for the current OSX version)
    2&3:  Yes a have spoken to Apple multiple times, they have only given me the same response to use current version (5.2) that was available in the App store under the "Purchases" tab. They would not give me instructions on how to download an older version.  Their response is that I have the newer version now, which is what they support and what they have given me access to.
    4: Yes, I have replied mutiple times, that the problem is that I cannot select the image on the document.  Hence the original title of this post.  Cannot move if I cannot select.  Pages will only let me select the text next to it.  Click on the image will not select it at all.  So the answer to your question "at what point you could not get them to work"  is that I cannot select an image on an existing document that is outside of the margin and was a background image when the document was created in an older Pages version.
    Thanks for your continued interest in my post, but please, let's stay on topic.  
    ** To others reading this thread, I am simply looking for an answer to how to select a background image in 5.2 from a older produced Pages document.  Is there a menu item I am overlooking or inspector item, etc that would allow me to click on an image already in the background of a document so I could delete or move it.   Pages will not let me select the image by clicking on it.  There must be a simple way I am overlooking.  Thank you.
    If Pages '09 is the answer, then fine.  How do I acquire for download Pages '09 as I cannot seem to get AppStore to offer me that option.

  • Help converting pages document with images over to a 300 dpi jpg file

    Hi
    I'm pretty new to using Pages.  I have created a 4 page Pages document with a lot of iphoto images.  It's for a elementary school yearbook.  The publisher ulitmately needs a 300 dpi jpg file.
    How do I convert the pages document into a 300 dpi jpg?
    I tried to convert it first to a pdf then to a 300 dpi jpg but when I sent that file over, they said that when they zoomed in, the images all looked blurry.
    Any ideas on what to do without having to start all over again?  Worst case, I guess I can print out in best quality, scan and save as jpg but there's got to be an easier way.
    I'm not a graphic designer, just trying to fuddle my way through so you'll have to go easy on me with the techno speak.  Any cliff notes for mac beginners?
    Thanks much in advance for any help!

    The conversion isn't perfect between Pages and Word. The same font is handle differently in the two applications and so are many other things too. If you are concerned about how it looks use Pdf versions instead.

  • Need to select and move images across multiple pages...

    Hi,
    I am using Indesign CS2 on a Windows machine and have a 25 page document with 4-up photos (4"X6") on individual pages. I used the ImageCatalog javascript to load these images so I don't seem to have any control from the Master page. I would like to group and move these images to a different location on their own pages.
    Do you know how to select these images across multiple pages? Or can a simple script be written to process this task?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    -Greg

    Hi Greg,
    A script can certainly do what you want to do--but you have to be a bit more specific. Do you want to move them to different pages in some predefined way, or do you just want to adjust them a bit on the pages they're already on?
    Thanks,
    Ole

  • How do you move an image in pages?

    How do i move an image in pages? I copied and pasted it onto the document but when I try to drag it, it just jumps back to where it was.

    All you have to do is command click out side the text zone and make sure there is no clicking line to wright text, and then just go insert/choose/ and then choose the image you want. It should then let you move it around. Hope this helped.

  • Converting a pages document into a .jpg image for web

    I am trying to convert a pages document into a .jpg image for uploading to idisk. When I drag to iphoto, then export, the image is really small even when I use the large size on the jpg photo export. Is there an easy way to do this..... I am trying to upload it to idisk then link it to craigslist.
    Help! It worked a couple of months ago!
    Thanks
    John

    A better way (I think) is to export or Print your Pages document as a PDF & open that PDF in Preview. Use the selection tool to select the area you want. You can crop & save as .jpg, but I recommend going to the File menu in Preview & choosing New From Clipboard to make a new file. This is because some programs, Pages in particular, will always "see" the unselected area & paste the whole thing. I also suggest using .png rather than .jpg. .jpg is a "lossy" format, .png will be much clearer.

  • How do I save a pages document as a pdf to iPhoto?

    I recently purcahsed a new imac and have upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Under my old system: Leopard, in Pages 07, I was able to complete a document and then save it as a .pdf to iphoto.  When I upgraded to Lion, I lost this capability.  It was my understanding with the upgraded system (Mountian Lion and Pages 09) that I would once again have this feature but I don't see that option now.  Does anyone know how I can get a Pages document saved into iphoto?
    Thanks in advance:)

    Pages does not export to .png. You can export as a PDF then open the PDF in Preview & export as .png. A better way would be to select the content you want & copy then switch to Preview & go File > New from Clipboard & save that as a .png. You'll get a better result with the second method.

  • How do I move images in iPhoto '08?

    Recently, when I uploaded digital images from my camera to iPhoto, some of the images were in a different order from the order on the camera. I have been unable to move the images into the proper order. I remember being able to move images in albums in past versions of iPhoto. If it is possible to move photos in iPhoto '08, how do I do it?

    To sort photos manually you need to be in the Photo view of the Library and need to have event titles turned off
    This only changes the order in this view - in event view they still will be in date-time order according to the EXIF data from the camera
    If something is out of order you can change the date/time of the photo witht he change date function - or you can split events into multiple events if different things are mixed together and then in photo view with event titles turnd on you can easily move photos between events
