Moving Pictures from iphoto to finder?

I recently just decided to stop using iPhoto. So I moved all my images from iphoto to seperate folder in Finder. Now ... did I just a copy of the images? Because all the pictures are still in iPhoto.. I want to know if it's now okay to delete them from iphoto altogether? I think the only thing I would want in there is my Photo Stream.. I don't want two copies on my computer because this would be taking up more of my hard drives space, correct?

Lightroom (and Aperture) are apps for professional photographers to manage their photo libraries. I'd suggest until you learn how to master iPhoto that  you stay with that app. Get your self a book on iPhoto or take a class and you will find how powerful and easy to use it is. However until you understand it you may continue to be confused and make poor decisions. A good place to start is using the free resources you have available such as:

or use the iPhoto forum.

  • Moving pictures from iPhoto to desktop having permission problems?

    Just installed iPhoto new as part of a brand new instal of SL.
    Before I could drag a picture to the desktop and change the name etc.
    Now I get a message:
    You don’t have permission to rename the item “IMG_3909.JPG”.
    I am on the latest version, 8.1.2.
    Wen I try to trash it, it wants a password.
    In the permissions I do have access to read and write to it, so I am puzzled.
    Is this a finder issue?
    Why and how to fix?
    Thanks.

    Good morning

    That sounds very strange. It sounds like you don't have permissions to write to files on your own desktop.
    Indeed. However I do.
    Permissions are:
    (Me) read and write
    staff read only
    everyone read only
    The first step with anything permissions-related is to open Disk Utility and repair permissions on your boot drive. Give that a go and let us know how it goes?
    Did that to begin with.
    Now, you say it's a brand new install: where did your iPhoto library come from? What are the permissions on it? Perhaps you moved it over from your backup or old mac in such a way as to mung its permissions.
    Library came from my old computer that had the same permissions.
    Now it has:
    (Me) read and write
    staff read and write
    everyone read and write

  • I can't find my pictures from iphoto. I was downloading Iphone pictures and the library disappeared. How can I recover them?

    I can't find my pictures from iphoto. I was downloading Iphone pictures and the library disappeared. How can I recover them?

    Restoring a backup is specific to the backup program you are using to do your daily backups - consult it's manual, help file or author's support site
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library starting with the first option and trying others until you are succesful

  • How do I move pictures from iphoto library to my desktop so I can these use them to sell on ebay?

    I recently moved pictures from my ipad to my iphoto library on my Macbook Pro computer. I want to now use these photos to sell on EBay. What are the steps I need to do to move these from one place to the other. This needs to be in laymans terms as my husband and I are new to this. Thanks for help.

    Put the photos in an iPhoto album.  Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File export menu option and export them to a folder on the Desktop.  From there you can upload them to Ebay via your browser.

  • Moving photos from iphoto to a flash drive

    Not sure what I'm doing here but I have a flash drive taht I am trying to move pictures from iphoto to. I'm still in Windows world I guess and am looking for the flash drive on the left side so i can drag and drop the photos into it but I don't see it anywhere. What am I doing wrong?? thanks.

    usually for me, things appear on the top right desktop. Or, click on finder> file, new finer window and if Finder pref's are set to show HD, then the thing should show there- ( from finder>file drop down> create new folder and drag the pics to that... AFTER  clicking on the thing so that is waiting for you

  • How do  I export a set of pictures from iPhoto to Photos

    My MacBook Pro now has OS X 10.10.3 and the new Photos app.
    I have over 30K pictures in the iPhoto app in this laptop, and I do not have the need to sync all of these pictures with all of my iOS devices; I won't be using iCloud.
    I was not able to determine if Photos can import sets of pictures from iPhoto; I could have imported all of my pictures from the iPhoto library but did not find out if Photos does have the option to import sets as per user's needs; I saw Photos allow the user to select those he/she wants to import but I don't think I would like to select these one by one from 30K photos.
    I will like to transfer sets of these pictures selected by date taken from iPhoto and export them to Photos library I created in an external volume. I need to free some space in my HD.
    Any suggestions?

    There is no way to import from an iPhoto Library to a Photos one. You can migrate an entire Library at one time, that's all. Otherwise your choice is to export from iPhoto to the Finder, thereafter import to Photos.

  • How do I Sync a set of pictures from iphoto..?

    I am new to Apple TV. Very nice divice and implementation.
    But I do have a question. When I was trying to Sync pictures with iTunes. I get an option to sync Iphoto, but it idoes not let me select which set of pictures to sync. It would be nice to be able to select them by date or category wo whn I view them I do not have to oepn one folder and scroll until I find the picture I want. Is there a way I can syncronize pictures from Iphoto by cetegories, folders or date..?
    Is there a folder where the iPhoto pictures are stored..?
    Thanks

    You don't necessarily need to create albums, you could sync your events by choosing that option in the sync options in itunes. I however prefer albums because there are often photos in the events I don't necessarily wish to get rid of but don't want as part of a slideshow on my tv.
    To create an album in iphoto, you can do one of two things: Create an empty album in the albums section on the LHS of the iphoto window by either using the '+' button in the bottom LH corner or from the file menu and then drag the photos of your choice to it. Or
    Select all the photos you want in an album first and choose either the '+' or the file menu to create the album.
    You can choose to sync these albums from the sync options under the photo tab in the sync options in itunes.

  • Where are my pictures from iPhoto?

    Where did all of my pictures from iPhoto go? I can't find them on my Mac? How do I download my pictures from my iPhone? If I can't download pictures from my iPhone then Apple just killed part of the reason I have an iPhone in the first place. Fix it. I want my pictures back. I have no option to download photos from my iPhone to my Mac. Apple you should have given us a replacement program that just transferred everything over. Now what the heck do I do?

    If you set up iCloud on the iPhone it will sync your photos via iCloud. Then set it up on the Mac, go to iPhoto/Preferences/iCloud and enable My Photo Stream.

  • When I try to email a picture from Iphoto, I get the error message "email server didn't recognize your username/password"

    I have been trying to email pictures from Iphoto, but it tells me that the email server doesn't recognize the username/password combination.  How do I go about changing this? 

    no problem if you don't like Mail - I do and most iPhoto users do not relealise that with '11 this changed and is easly moved back
    Oh, I like it - I just don't like it when the built-in iPhoto mailer does not work, for it should work. I like to use both - Mail and iPhoto. To have both, I have set iPhoto as mailer, and when I want to use Mail.app, I simply drag the photos from iPhoto to the Mail icon in the Dock.

  • Can not transfer pictures from iPhoto on my MacBook Air to any of my devices via airdrop.

  • Cannot import pictures from iPhoto into iMovie!

    When I try to upload my JPEG pictures from iPhoto, I can successfully drag them into the storyboard, but they all show up as the same picture (the picture right before all of them). When I try to drag them into the workspace below the storyboard, I see the number of them (doesn't matter how many) in a red circle, not allowing me to drag them over from the browser.
    I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help out with this?

    Open the photo Browser in iMovie. Find your Album. Drag the icon for your Album into the iMovie Project.

  • Hi!  I am trying to print pictures from iPhoto.  I follow the directions and select a photo and click file-print-but it doesn't give me any size/printing options.  Instead I get a message that says "no themes available".  Do I need to install themes?

    Hi-I am trying to print pictures from iphoto.  I selected a picture and tried file-print.  But instead of giving me size/layout options, it gave me a message, "no available themes".  Not sure what to do next--something I need to install?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Transfering pictures from iPhoto to Webshots(internet)

    How do you transfer your pictures from Iphoto to webshots. Everytime I try it I can not find the file. Its probably right infront of me but idk. thanks in advance.

    metsrule6349
    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    For uploading, the best one to use is File -> Export as you can resize the pic, then upload it from the desktop. As it's a copy, you can trash it afterwards.
