New and odd issue with edited photos

How much do I hate iPhoto, let me count the ways.
Another new issue for me. My DSLR has a lot of dust on the lens I cannot shift which means I get a lot of annoying blemishes on my photos that I go through on iPhoto to retouch. Slow but has to be done.
I imported a pile of recent holiday photos and started to edit them fullscreen. Coming back into them now showing them at fullscreen or fullscreen within a windowed iPhoto and the edits don't look like they have saved, all the original blemishes are there. However I click on edit, the pic shrinks down a little to accomodate the Edit box and it now correctly shows the proper edited versions with blemishes removed and other changes I made.
I export the photo and the original blemished one gets exported.
Any thoughts?  I bet I am going to have to re-import the originals and lose all my editing. That's the stock way for me with this poor piece of software.
C.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
If that fails:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.

  • HT5622 I have issues with my iphone putting all my photos in the photo stream and an issue with my icloud on my PC updating the photo s stream.

    Some of the photo I take with my iphone will not get saved into my photo stream.   Some of these photos were taken while the iphone was connected to the wifi, but did not get saved.  Other photos were while not on wifi and they seem to get saved.  I have not narrowed down what is the difference between those photos that get saved and those that don't get saved.  Is there a way to force a photo to get saved?  I would like to be able to access these photos from all my devices. 
    I also have an issue with the photo stream on my PC getting updated.  I have photos in the photo stream that is updated on my Ipad and iphone.  However, these photos are not getting updated on the PC.  Everything seems to be set up on the icloud and photos stream for the PC. 
    Thanks,

    That is the way it is designed to work.  If you want the photos on your Mac on your new iPhone, you can sync them with iTunes.

  • After iphoto 9.1.5. problem with editing photos

    After I did the 9.1.5. update I have a problem with editing photo's. My photo's are about 35mb a piece.. they are panoramic photo's. Editing used to work perfect in iphoto 8.. after I went to iphoto 9 it became buggy.. (it crashes on certain photo's that 8 could handle without a problem).. but I learned to live with it. Now I did the 9.1.5. update and I can edit maybe 2 or 3 pics without a problem.. then when I get to number 4 Iphoto will show me a black screen.
    If I close iphoto and start it again, I can continue where I left off.. untill I get to a picture that seems to ruin the party.. and then I have to restart again..
    Iphoto 8 used to work so smooth with panoramic photo's.. dont know where it went wrong..

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key 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?

  • Odd issue with transitions...Help!

    OK, I have an odd issue with the transitions going on within Imovie.
    In this case I have the "Photo album" theme.
    About every three slides the "camera" pulls back from one picture (pic 1) and goes in to the other photo (pic 2).
    2/3 of the way into the video the (pic 2) photo is late, so you actually see the switch in the middle of the transition. Pic one is in its place until about half way through.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Just found this related thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1903498&start=0&tstart=0
    In there, they suggest a work around using Precision Editor on the transition. I will try this tonight.

  • Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

    Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
    I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
    Here are the different scenarios.
    -If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
    -If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
    -If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
    -If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
    -If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message  I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
    -If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
    -If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
    What I can do:
    - I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and  it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
    -I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
    -I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message.  I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
    I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
    -If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail.  If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
    I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
    I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

    Another problem that may be related….
    I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message  "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location.   Please choose a different location."  I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard.   I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

  • Odd issue with WHERE clause

    Greetings All,
    I'm having an odd issue with a WHERE clause that I've been working on in a Record Set, $upperdate displays as 2011-02-28, $lowerdate as 2011-02-01, but,
    WHERE visitdate >= $lowerdate AND visitdate <= $upperdate
    returns no values, and
    WHERE visitdate >= $lowerdate AND visitdate <= '2011-02-28'
    returns the appropriate values,
    Here is the code for $upperdate and $lowerdate:
    $datemonth = date ('m');
    $dateday = '01';
    $dateday1 = date ('t');
    $dateyear = date ('Y');
    $lowerdate = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,$datemonth, $dateday, $dateyear));
    $upperdate = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,$datemonth, $dateday1, $dateyear));
    I've also tried the following things to check functionality with no success:
    $upperdate = '2011-02-28';
    $dateday1 = '28';
    BETWEEN...AND... behaves the same as... >=  AND <=
    Thanks for the help in advance!

    Finally worked it out,
    I ended up putting single parentheses around '$lowerdate' and '$upperdate' and it works now.
    It still seems strange, because it worked when I used no parentheses with the variable in:
    WHERE visitdate >= $lowerdate AND visitdate <= '2011-02-28'
    Also, I had tried the parentheses a few other times without success, so maybe there was something else awry that I fixed inadvertantly while messing around.

  • Captivate 5 - issue with editing imported PowerPoints that have been resized

    I'm having an issue with editing PowerPoint files that have been imported into Captivate 5 when they have been resized within the Captivate project after the initial import.
    1. I import a PowerPoint presentation into 800x600 dimension.
    2. I resize the project to 900x600 by not locking the aspect ratio and selecting to position to the top right so there is a 100 pixel strip to the left of the slide that we use for navigation buttons and other info.
    3. If I need to make a change to a PowerPoint, I select Edit > Edit with Microsoft PowerPoint > Edit Slide (or Edit Presentation).
    4. The slide opens in PowerPoint and I make the changes and click Save.
    5. When the slide is imported back into Captivate, it is stretched and resized to not fit either 800x600 or 900x600, but something in between. This did not happen in Captivate 4 - the slide would retain the 800x600 dimension slid over to the right with no issues.
    Are there any settings that can be done to ensure the edited slides will import back into the project with the correctly sized dimensions for the current project?

    Hi there
    I agree that it would be nice to see a notification. You know, Captivate offers a special area for notifications that appear when you open it. I'm stymied as to why Adobe doesn't use this area for making such announcements.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I'm having some issues with Edit in Audition

    This past week my friends and I shot my friend's final film project. We recorded external audio at 192000 Hz, 12288kbps, 32-bit float. I synced up all the audio and sent the project to my friend. When he used Edit in Audition so that he can mix and clean up the audio, it had been exported at 8000 Hz, 512kbp, 32-bit float and everything sounds muffled. I'm more familier with Premiere then he is, so I tried, and I had the same results.
    I know Audition can import and export that kind of audio so I'm assume it's a problem on the Premiere end. Is there any settings that I'm missing or is it impossible for Premiere to extract at that quality? Even if it's the latter, is there a way it can be set to extract at higher than 8000 Hz at 512kbps?

    From what I can tell, it's a problem with Premiere exporting, not Audition importing though. I have the 192000 Hz, 32 bit files working just fine in the Premiere timeline so it doesn't appear to have to much of an issue with editing it, it just exports it at a much lower quality when sending it to Audition
    It seems like the only way I can keep that audio quality is to sync sound in Audition and that's not ideal for me.

  • Issues with exporting photos to be edited in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 5.6 using Yosemite OS.

    Suddenly, I'm unable to edit my photos from Lightroom 5.6 in Photoshop CS6.  I have recently converted from Mavericks to Yosemite OS.  But, I haven't had any issues for the past week or two.   Now, whenever I try to Edit photos from Lightroom 5.6 in Photoshop CS6, either nothing happens.  Or from the drop down menu, the option to Edit in Photoshop CS6 is greyed out.  Both Lightroom and Photoshop are the latest versions.  I've even uninstalled, and reinstalled Photoshop CS6 without any improvement.  Help!!!

    Sorry, I was wrong about the check box, that only works if you are importing images from a memory card.  If they are already in the catalogue, they will be greyed out in either case.
    "I'm pretty confident therefore that it is not in the catalog but it appears that Lightroom for some reason thinks it is."  Well I can't read Lightroom's mind, but I think that Lightroom thinking it is in the catalog is the same thing as it being in the catalog.
    When you still have the edited file open in Photoshop CS6, after you have edited and saved it as "IMG_4312-edit.tif," what happens if you try "save as," does it bring you to the correct folder to save it in?  If you try to save as without changing the name does it ask if you want to overwrite the original?  Can you now save it with a new name (e.g. "IMG_4312-Edit2.tif") and have it show up?
    You type above, "IMG_4312.CRW, I do some edits in Lightroom but I want to do some more in Photoshop so I send it to the PS CS6 from within Lightroom. The image opens, I make my edits and I click Save. This creates  a new file called IMG_431-Edit.tif."  4312 vs. 431 just make sure you aren't making the same small mistake when searching for the file.
