My Editing in IPhoto is not Saving

I have I photo 09 version 8.1.2. i have recently noticed when i edit my photos they do not save. I can go back to the "edit" mode and the editing is presents, however, when i save the editing and click "done" and view to photos in the non editing mode ... all the photos appear as before .. unedited. Can anyone help with this?
thanks

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
If that does not help backup your library and depress the option and command keys and launch iPhoto rebuild the library form the last automatic database backup

How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?

Hello!
How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?
So... Quite often I choose to 'Edit in photoshop' from Lightroom but then end up not saving the result. (for example, because I just wanted to experiment with the photo, or I'm not satisfied with the results)
However, Lightroom always creates a copy of the original photo, which stays in the catalog even if the photoshop changes aren't saved.
Is there a way to stop this, and only add a photo if it has been edited in PS?
Using LR5 with PS CS6 on a Mac 10.9
THANK YOU!

Select 'Open the Image in PS as a Smart Object'. The image will be rendered by ACR in memory without being written to disc until you save it from within PS.

Edits (especially contrast changes) not saving in iPhoto 08- any solutions?

A major hassle for me is the fact that (at least on my machines) changes to contrast while editing are not shown in the thumbnail or "browse" when completing the edit with "Done" or an arrow. Changes to exposure, temperature etc ARE saved and visible. If I go back into edit then the contrast changes are re-applied and everything looks good, until I leave edit.
I've re-installed iphoto (7.0.1 & 7.0.2), verified permissions, killed my preferences and nothing works.
Compared to the problems that others are having this might not seem to0 significant, but it really kills iPhoto's usefulness to me.

Mark:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You may not be using PS correctly with iPhoto.
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop 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..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
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.

IPhoto 11 not saving edits to file

Hi - I'm using iPhoto 11 on my iMac (new user) and I can make changes to photos (crop/rotate etc) which are reflected in iPhoto but then they are not saved in the original files in the Pictures folder. I have tried to delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist file as some other forums have directed but it makes no difference. This is a problem if I am then trying to upload them to Truprint or editting them for posterity.
All help appreciated, thanks

I can make changes to photos (crop/rotate etc) which are reflected in iPhoto but then they are not saved in the original files in the Pictures folder.
Of course not. Iphoto is designe to always preserve your original file. It never does anything to it. Your edits are ll carried out on a copy of the originls file.
Further, iPhoto is a database and you never, ever access the files via the Finder.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Iphoto 11 Not saving photo edits

Iphoto Version 9.4.3
OSX 10.7.5, Build 11G63, Serial # W872101JVUX
3 GB SDRAM
Have had many problems since switching to Iphoto 11, this is just the latest. This week I added 5 Jpeg photo's to a library and edited them. When I finished I returned to the library and noticed they didn't look as good as they had while editing them. I returned to editing in the info section and indeed it looked like most of the editing had not been saved. I then moved to the editing section and the photo's still looked bad but after 5 -10 seconds the edits reappeared and the photo's looked as good as I expected. I then returned to the library (saving the edits) and again they look bad. These photo's were scanned to a desktop folder then imported to an iphoto library from there as is my normal procedure. I have used all the "Rebuild Library" choices which did not help. I do not ever make any changes to the libraries except through Iphoto.
I would like to concentrate on this problem now of course, but just for your information the other main problem I have fairly often is very slow editing with spinning balls. This is usually made acceptable by spending a lot of time "Rebuilding Library". I thought about reinstalling Iphoto but 9.4.3 is no longer available through the app store where I purchased it and my computer cannot upgrade any further.
I'm almost hoping that you tell me my computer isn't adequate and this will solve my problems as at least I can stop fighting with Iphoto. I will also say that otherwise the computer works fine and I have no problems with other programs.
Thanks for any help in advance

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Iphoto 6 not saving after edit

Hello
I'm struggling to figure out iphoto at the moment. I've never had a problem with it until recently. Basically iphoto was unable to import my RAW files from my Nikon D55 the other day but has been fine on many occasions before that. I don;t know what's changed. In my iphoto folder there are two folders one containing originals the other modified. It won't open any files from the original folder into iphoto - preview will open them and Nikon picture project will open them.
I managed to get iphoto to import them today but now when I edit they just won't save, the program just sits there with the saving bar going forever.
This is really frustrating me, does anyone have any ideas to help me?
Hopefully waiting

I thought I was being thick and not completely understanding of how to do this "easy" trick.
I've tried at least 15 times to clear the red from my eyes and as we're told it saves automatically..for convenience.Except that it doesn't.
If I close the pic and then reopen the eyes are unchanged.
Is there something I should be doing?
My email is on OS9.2 so when I switch discs and begin to work it always tries to connect with internet if I ask for help.Shouldn't there be more comprehensive help available on desktop?

Why are my edited pictures from bridge not saving when I automate batch files through PS?

When I edit my photos through adobe bridge (open camera raw, make adjustments to 1 picture), then automate (batch) my file folder in PS, the edits I have made don't save. Example, I crop an image & lighten it, I can view the adjusted image in bridge & camera raw, but when I batch my photos the editing I have done is gone.

Raw files need to be opened and saved before the adjustments are applied. I have no clue what your "batch save" does.
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

IPhoto 11 not saving imported iPhone 3GS pics after exit

My wife and I both import photos form our iPhone 3GS's into iPhoto 11 (9.1 (475)). Since we want to save them in the same photo library, I moved the iPhoto Library some time ago to my Public folder, so we can both post to it. This has worked fine until installing iPhoto '11. When she imports from her phone, iPhoto says it has imported, and you can see the new pics. When she exits iPhoto, it gives a quick progress bar saying the iPhoto Library is being updated. Then, reopen iPhoto -- the new imported pics are gone. Have repaired permissions, hasn't made a difference. Any ideas please?
Thanks,
Patrick

Okay, I've done some more playing around and have had some success with retrieving lost photos.
I did a reveal in finder on a picture that imported from photo booth. It appears that iPhoto '11 has changed the way pictures are stored in the iPhoto library. Instead of being in a folder named the date of the import, there was an "11" folder inside of the "2010" folder that I'm assuming represents November. Inside of that were folders with various numbers that I believe are the days of the month the import was done. Inside of these, I found various folders. Some of these contained the original photos from our camera and retained the name that our camera gives them (begins with "IMG_"). Other photos in these folders had long numerical names and seemed to be photos that either my wife or I had previously published to facebook through iPhoto.
I created a new folder in my home directory in Finder and copied all the original "IMG_" files from the folders that I found. I then did an Import in iPhoto of these copied files, named the events and closed iPhoto. For whatever reason, this time, when I reopened iPhoto, they were still there.
So, this brings up several questions about what's going on. Is iPhoto only loosing pictures imported from the SD card? Is it only loosing pictures that are imported and then immediately uploaded to facebook? Is it loosing pictures that are imported and not given an event name? If we copy the files from the SD card to the Mac's hard drive first and then import, will we not see this problem?
All valid questions that will take some experimenting to do, but maybe what I've found so far will help others recover the photos that aren't showing up for them.

Mail: why are draft edits in preview pane not saved?

Hi,
when viewing drafts in the preview pane, the preview pane accepts edits, which it doesn't when displaying received mails. However once I highlight another draft in my drafts folder, so that the preview pane shows something else, and then return to the supposedly edited draft, the edits are lost.
Am I just not getting it, or how do you save edits to drafts made in the preview pane. If editing in preview pane is not actually possible, why does it accept edits then?
Many thanks if someone can shed some light on this :-)
p.

D/L Thunderbird but not set it up as active on line program. No new mail settings etc. Most of the old copied file folders were set as "read only" which I understand is the default of backups and causes problems on non rewrite DVD. Not a problem on ex - HD. I do not understand but it seems TB sets up an "APPS DATA" file that it separate from regular data files (but both are in Documents library). One on-line suggestion was to copy old "APPS DATA" into new TB structure ( a replacement) It did not work. Then tried replacing just parts with no better luck.
I only want to open the old files. No desire to going back to TB as working program. Use Chrome and gmail now.
Explorer2 film management program can preview the email in the old file but TB sees it as an empty file.

Update/Edit Pop-Up Menu Not Saving

Hi All
First time here...
Is anyone else having trouble updating/editing pop-up menus on slices? I seem to be able to add only one new menu item at a time. If I add more, it doesn't save the changes. Now I'm trying to go back and change a link on one of the menu items and it doesn't remember it at all.
I'm fairly new to Fireworks but this isn't giving me a whole load of confidence in it...
Any ideas? Known bug?

What version of Fireworks are you using?
If you're building pop up menus for a real site, The FW ones are the worst option to use (even if they are working) because they are a PITA to maintain after the fact. As of CS4, Dreamweaver doesn't even support native editing of the menus, so you have to go back to FW (or dive into the code itself) to make changes.

NOT SAVING CHANGES OR EDIT'S!!PLEASE HELP

hey guys,
i had this problem before along with many others, with the earlier vers of iphoto. until apple gave us the fix...now agin with 5.0.4.any changes or edits(redeye fix) are not saved to any of my pics!!
is anybody else having this problem??
is there a fix or update??
please help......thanks.

Hi sunny,
Check the permissions on the Library and Pictures folder. If they are set for you, make sure the library is not locked.
Get info on the iPhoto Library folder
screenshot of how the "get info" window should look for your user
If edits are not saved it could be the image files are locked, especially if these files came from another computer or sent to you in email. Do a "get info" on these files and unlock them.

Iphoto not saving slideshow settings

HELP! I am DESPERATE!!!!! I have been working on a 45 minute slideshow for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party ALL WEEK. Iphoto is NOT SAVING my settings for the transisions between photos or the time each slide plays for. It is happening at random. No one at Apple has been able to help me...as a matter of fact I thought I was going to really lose it for about the 10th TIME when the last guy I spoke to tonight told me that I needed to speak with an IAPP advisor as he could not help me only being a senior advisor. My questions is WHY THE HECK HAVE I NOT BEEN transferred to an IAPP advisor all week when I have been calling them repeatedly trying to get issue resolved. This was the only person who said I should speak to someone in IAPP. I now have only FRIDAY to get this resolved as the party is at my house on SATURDAY!!!!
I know other people have had some similiar problems (glitches) from searching the internet and yet the people I have been speaking with say they have never had someone call up with this problem.....????
Anyone else out there have this problem and find a way to fix it?
(BTW--they already had me go the route of trashing the psist file and some cache file among other things......)

Terence
Thank you for replying. My ranting was just out of utter fustration of literally sitting at a computer since Sunday redoing and redoing everything in order to have try and have a nice slideshow for my parents rather than just dumping a bunch of photos & music into a slideshow. It loses its punch when things don't fall into the proper place or transition right.....
2 things Apple had me do initially:
move a cache file and psist file out of library to desktop and then into my trash (I then did a secure empty trash)
senior advisor tried to have me duplicate the problem while he was accessing my computer---COULD NOT. He said unless I can duplicate for him he can't help me. He also said that he has never heard of anyone else complain of this & has never heard of anyone making a slideshow so big??? Really? It is 45 minutes with 375 pictures. While a little lengthy I find it hard to believe they are not used to anyone makng a slideshow this long.
Anyways later I called back when I felt I could duplicate issue. I spoke with another rep. He had me change ALL SLIDES from 5 seconds to 1 second and unclick default transition thinking that this could be causing the system to keep wanting to ovverride my manual individual settings if I had any slide less than 5 seconds or another transition. However he also was miffed by the "size" of my slideshow and said that Iphoto slideshow really wasn't meant for something of this size and suggested I use IMovie. While I had never used it I tried it. After spending all day getting the photos in IMovie and in same order I started editing the transitions and slide times....well this was no good because if I changed one thing it caused a ripple effect and changed stuff. Sooooooo I called Apple back and spoke with Senior advisor that told me that this is what Imovie does and I really should not use it for what I was trying to do ....he still felt iphoto slideshow was the way to go. So we went back to iphoto slideshow hoping that the couple of small changes the other advisor had me do had worked....no luck. I then decided to try and start fresh with NEW slideshow, new settings and break up my one big slideshow into smaller slideshows & then eventually dumpt into Imovie......No luck. With about 30 photos I noticed it wasn't saving my slide times again or now the speed of transitions. So the bottom line is that there is a GLITCH with iphoto and I have seem similiar complaints on these forums.
I greatly appreciate your suggestion of trying other apps and would definately do that if I had the time but alas the party is tomorrow and I have only today to get it resolved and redone.
Thank You for Your Time

Iphoto 11 , How to save changes to photos, not saving -/ snow leopard

Hi , after much ado then discovering the recent "fix" for Iphoto 11 I started using it today. I uploaded new photos , edited them and quickly discovered that Iphoto was NOT saving any of the changes I had made.There is no longer a "Done" button so I went back to again check the few photos I had adjusted , Iphoto only saved changes for one out of 10 of the photos I had adjusted.
Is there a "save changes" function I am missing here? Anyone else experiencing this problem?

How are you exporting? If you select the photo and export (file menu ==> export) with kind = JPEG or current the edited version will be exported
if that is not happening try renewing your preference file -
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
