Nikon D200 vs Nikon D100 crashes iPhoto

Question

Does anyone have any idea why iPhoto would crash when saving Photoshop edited photos downloaded from my brand new Nikon D200. It doesn't happen with any of the photos in iPhoto that were downloaded with my Nikon D100. I made sure all available Apple updates were done. Photos are a little larger, but no major or noticeable differences.

Answer 1

Amy:
Have the files from the D100 been edited with PS? It may be that those that are crashing iPhoto do not have a color profile embedded. Is your Photoshop is not setup to manage color.
What system and Quicktime version are you running. If you're running Tiger less than 10.4.8 update to 10.4.8 with the COMBO updater and make sure you're running Quicktime 7.1.5 (the latest updater).
If that doesn't fix the problem download the Embed sRGB Profile application from Toad's Cellar. Then drop the problem files onto the application and try importing them again into iPhoto.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
