Moving and editing photos on 2 computers

I have an iMac and my husband has a MacBookPro. All photos end up (vie photostream/icloud) in the iPhoto on the iMac. However, I want to be able to use his laptop to edit photos (delete as well as tag and edit) while lounging on the couch but I want all edits to be saved on the iMac. Is this possible? I am confused by the prior posts on similar issues. We currently do home sharing if that matters,

No it's not possible, except by using screen sharing, and that's extremely slow.

I lost my belongings via theft. As a photographer my greatest loss is having a computer to download and edit photos. Money is scarce and I am considering an ipad. Can anyone advise me whether an ipad can replace a pc? Are there ports?

I lost my belongings via theft from a storage unit. As it was scheduled for move the next day I did not purchase insurance. Probably an inside job, painful leason learned. This also left me no way to repurchase all i lost.
As a photographer my greatest loss is having a computer to download and edit photos. Money is scarce and I am considering an ipad, understanding even this may not be affordable. Can anyone advise me whether an ipad can replace a pc? Are there ports? How crucial is memory? I could edit photos then store them on flash drives if the ipad cannot handle load. Never having owned one I'm afraid I am completely ignorant on these issues and am grateful for any guidance. Thank you!

No. The iPad while a powerful tablet, is not a PC replacement. It is limited in what it can do.

No USB ports or of any other kind if that is what you are asking. There's the sync/charge port you can use with the Lightning to USB camera Adapter, but only to load photos onto the iPad. It cannot write out to USB drives.

iPads are not upgradeable. So what you buy is what you get. Memory is 1GB. Storage space can go from 16GB up to 128GB
Depending on what Image editor applications you use, there may not be a version for iPad with the features you need.

When I import and edit photos on my ipad, the changes are only reflected on that ipad. If I upload the edited pictures to facebook, my ipad uploads dont reflect the edits?

I've recently started using my ipad to upload and edit photos. When I import the photos I then crop, enhance, etc and save the edited version. If I upload the edited photos to facebook, or even download to my home computer, the edits do not appear. On my ipad, only the edited versions appear, even when looking at the pictures uploaded to facebook, but from any other device (computer, iphone, or another ipad) the pictures are the original unedited versions? What gives- i'm saving the edits, and deleting any unedited versions?

This is the iPhoto forum. Iphoto does not work on the iPad, only on Mac OS X, so you need to post on the forum for whatever you are using on the iPad.

What do I use for organizing and editing photos on the IPAD especially if I am importing directly from a camera?, What do I use for organizing and editing photos on the IPAD especially if I am importing directly from a camera?

What do you use for organizing and editing photos that you have imported from a SD card or camera?

Go to the iTunes App Store in the iTunes app on your computer. Type photo into the search window in the upper right corner and you will bring up all sorts of photo apps, free and paid, for enhancing, modifying, arranging, printing and sharing photos on an iPad.

Original photo and edited photo are no longer stacked and appear now as two photo

I have a problem that my edited photos are separated from the original photo so I have two photos side by side. I am afraid to delete the original photo for fear of not being able to open the edited photo but I really do not want to have two photos, one edited photo that looks nice and one unedited photo that is not so nice next to each other in my album. How can I restack these? Also if I bring over the edited photo into Revel will it have the information needed to display the picture?

Moving and Editing in iPhoto '08

Two features appear missing from iPhoto '08, which were present in older versions. First, I can't seem to grab and drag photos to albums when the photo is maximized. It worka fine when the photo is in thumbnail size. Second, older versions allowed me to edit photos both in iPhoto and an external program, in one instance by using the "alt" key while pressing the "edit" icon. Now, it seems the "Preferences" pane forces the user to select one editing option only. Is there a workaround to these two issues?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First, I can't seem to grab and drag photos to albums when the photo is maximized.
This was introduce with v7. iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
older versions allowed me to edit photos both in iPhoto and an external program, in one instance by using the "alt" key while pressing the "edit" icon.
Never saw that one myself, but if you right (or control-click) on a pic you can select from
Edit
Edit in New Window
Edit in Full Screen
Edit in External Editor
among other options.

IPhoto 11 how can I view original and edited photo

I am new to imac and have been editing photos with iphoto 11. After editing a photo I can see the edited photo, but how can I view the original?
Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
Thanks

If you want to see the original image then hold the shift key when in edit mode.
Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
Not exactly sure what you mean by that... with iPhoto 11, when you edit a pic nothing on the original pic is changed, and all your editing decisions are recorded in the database. Next time you view the image these decisions are applied to the image as you view it. So, iPhoto records the edit history. Subsequent edits work on the aggregrate history, or you can revert to the original and start over.
If you want to have multiple versions (say, one in in B&W, one in Sepia) then you need to duplicate the image.
Note that the versions are all virtual, based on the Master. Deleting the master will also delete the versions.

Saving cropped and edited photos that are different than originals

I have been cropping and editing some photos but when I save them as the edited version and compare to the original, they look the same. Do you have some suggestions?

Singtenor, welcome to the forum.
Try using the "Save As" option and naming the cropped, edited version with a new name.

Can you access files and edit them from different computers in Creative Cloud?

I want to understand the workflow we can have. We have three computers and would like to access and edit the same files in Creative Cloud. Can you do this? I understand I may have to purchase two licenses but will this give everyone access to the same files and able to edit and upload files.
We do this in Dropbox now but with Creative Cloud is sounds like all I can do is share a file for them to comment on, not edit?

Hi Olivia,
With Creative Cloud, file editing comes in via downloading Adobe applications with a Creative Cloud membership. While you cannot edit within Creative Cloud, you can share files with your coworkers which can then be downloaded, edited in an Adobe application, and reuploaded to the Cloud.
Be aware that although you can have two computers activated on the same Creative Cloud membership, you cannot use the same application on two computers simultaneously. A Creative Cloud membership is for one user that can be used on one or more computers.
You may want to look into the Creative Cloud Team Ready, that targets work environments like yours. You can read more about Team Ready here.
Hope this helped clarify your questions!

Moving and splitting photos - catalog questions

Until recently, all my photos were On one disc with one Lightroom catalog. Now there are too many photos for a single disc, so I split them into two discs and created a new catalog to deal with the two different locations. Of course, I immediately lost all of my light room edits. I have plenty of backups, so nothing was truly lost now the question:
How do I keep one Lightroom catalog while splitting the photos into two drives, AND keep all my edits, virtual copies, etc?
Right now, the restored catalog contains all the edits, but half the photos aren't where the catalog expects them to be. What is the easiest and safest way to do this?
Running Lightroom CC, windows 7/64, all software up-to-date.
Thanks,
EdB

A single Lightroom catalog can support photos stored on multiple disks, even offline photos. If you want to move photos from one disk to another you can do the moves within Lightroom. If you choose to do the move in the OS then you can relink the photos. In short, it can all be done with a single catalog.

HT1296 how do i view and edit photos on my icloud

im trying to free up space but my phone doesnt allow me to edit which photos i want or dont want on my icloud, now im on my computer and how do i view whats on my cloud

Hi,
You won’t be able to see you camera roll photos on iCloud because they are stored at on backup and it is not a stream feature.
Check for more info about iCloud backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
The feature that provides options to see photos on iCloud is the PhotoStream.

Moving and editing slideshow between MACs

I'd like to move an existing (uncompleted) slideshow from an iMac to a Mac Book Pro and complete the project on-site (a wedding reception). What is the best technique to complete this without messing with the hours of work that have gone into the project thus far??

There's only one way to do it: Move the Library that contains the slideshow.
A Slideshow is really an instruction in the iPhoto database: "Show me Photo A for 5 seconds then cross fade to Photo B over 3 seconds and show me for 5 seconds etc etc etc"
The only way to move the slideshow +in an editable form+ is to move the database - and that database is the Library.

Lost my Keywords and edited photos?

Hi, I got a new computer! Yeah for me. My photos were stored on an external hard drive that I used to access the pics, keywords, etc. on the old PC because the hard drive on the laptop was too small.
So, I got a new computer, large hard drive, re-installed lightroom and copied my DNG photos to the new HD on the new computer (PC, by the way) Alas no keywords and it also looks like the photos I edited are not there either.
Where did I go wrong? I still have the external hard drive. I am assuming that the pictures with the edits and keywords are still on the external HD. OK, I'm probably hoping about that one.
If yes, how would I determine that? And how do I copy them over with the keywords and previously edited pictures. I'm probably not the first person to have this experience. Thank you and I appreciate the help.

First thing to understand is that LR uses a catalog too keep track of everything. When you import pictures into LR it doesn't move or copy the original files, it just takes note of where they are. When you make any adjustments or edits to the pictures these changes are kept in the catalog, the original picture file is never changed. You have to 'export' a new copy of the picture with the changes applied if you want to see/use it outwith LR.
On your new PC, having installed LR it will have created a new catalog. You need to get the LR catalog file from the old laptop, copy it to the new PC and get LR to open it. You should see your pictures and your edits. LR will show a symbol top right of every picture because it has 'lost' the pictures, in that it thinks they are on the external drive and it's now gone.
Under the Library tab select 'Find missing photos' to re-make the links.
The LR catalog is called *.lrcat where the '*' depends on what you called it when you installed LR or the default name which is something like Lightroom.lrcat. Exaclty what directory it's in depends on a few things that can vary depending on choices made at install time.
Good luck.

Flickr and Editing Photos

I've just started to use Flickr with iPhoto. I created an album, and uploaded to Flickr easily. However, when I edit a photo (say, turn it to black and white), the photo does not change on Flickr. When I add titles or desciptions, this DOES change on Flickr.
Any thoughts?

It will help if you take the time to explain to us how you're emailing or uploading to Flickr.

Faces, Location and Edit Photos all at once?

Is there anyway to label Faces, assign the location to a photo and use the photo editing features all at once?
When I import new photos, I want to sort through, edit and organize them once. But there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. Any tips for ways to speed this clumsy workflow up?

No
