Organizing and Deleting Raw CR2 Photos in Pictures
I want to delete photos from my hard drive to free up space. At one point I thought I would be interested in serious photography and I stored some photos in Raw format to use in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. I have a lot of photos in i-photo and I have some of the same photos in Pictures folder and My Pictures folder. Does anyone know if the files in Pictures and My Pictures are the same files as the ones in iphoto or are they different. I have been trying to delete all the CR2 files and I get a message that says I don't have access. I was able to delete the CR2 files from iphoto. I was also able to delete some from Pictures but I can not get them deleted from My Pictures. I have changed the settings in all the photos to connect to iphoto instead of Adobe Photoshop and Bridge. I also had the photo reference in Lightroom but I deleted that as well. I am also finding that even after deleting lots of files from iphoto the size of the iphoto library does not decrease. So I am concerned I am not really deleting the actual files. I would like to use only iphoto going forward.
These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported the library.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

i have a Canon 6d and would like to convert my raw ( CR2) photo's into dng files. Adobe DNG converter 8.4 doesn't recognise the CR2 files. How can i solve this?
It is possible that you are not following instructions correctly in the DNG converter. The DNG converter interface asks for the FOLDER that contains your raw images. Choose the folder, but don't open it. After you have chosen the folder, click on the Convert button. The DNG conversion process should start. Does that help you?

I used Duplicate Annihilator to isolate dups in iPhoto on my iMac. At the end of its search, it told me it had marked the word duplicate in the comments / description field. How do I find and delete the marked photos?
File -> New Smart Album
Description -> contains -> Duplicate
will find them.
Then the keystroke to delete depends on which version of iPhoto you have. All the keyboard shortcuts are under the Help menu. -

Organizing and deleting a repeated import...
Hey all,
Does iPhoto '09 find and delete pictures that have been imported more than once?
ThanksHow did you do this?
Did you import one iPhoto library into another (never do this)? If you did and still have the original library you can just start over by copying the library and opening it - iPhoto will upgrade as needed

Cutting and deleting section of photo...
I'm new to this method of support, and relatively new to Mac's, but I love mine.
I'm creating a photo album and am using pages to put multiple photos on each page.
Can I somehow cut and delete a section of a photo so that the photo or text behind
it can be seen at that spot. For instance, can I cut off the corner off of a photo,
or can I cut out the part of the photo that I want, in an irregular shape?
Thanks to anyone who provides help!
KarenYou can mask an image with a shape. Unfortunately, it's a "one-off" thing. But you could use multiples of the same image with different parts masked.

Correcting wrong white balance setting in RAW .CR2 photo
I set my camera custom white balance incorrectly and took a days worth of photos in RAW mode. When imported into iPhoto they have terrible coloring (as expected). iPhoto does not seem to have a WB adjustment (Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent, etc.), so i opened the .CR2 files with Canon Photo Professional and changed the WB setting for the photos to 'AUTO' correct colors and saved. When i import them back into iPhoto, the while balance is unchanged (but when i re-open them in Canon P P they have correct color). Does anyone know how to get iPhoto to import with this modified WB setting?
Source: Canon 20D RAW format
Thanks for any help!You would need to export the files from DPP as tiffs or something similar. There is no way iPhoto will see the adjustment by DPP otherwise.
For White Balance in iPhoto check out the Temperature and Tint pane in the Adjustments - check out the eye dropper.
Regards

Not able to import canon raw CR2 photos direct from a camera into Lightroom 5.5
I’ve just purchased Lightroom 5 and updated it with the latest version 5.5, and I am running windows 7. Everything appears to be working fine, however I am not able to import Canon CR2 raw files directly from my camera. Importing JPEG files directly from camera works fine, however Lightroom can not find any CR2 raw files?
If I copy the raw files through the Canon utility tool on to my hard drive, it appears I am then able to import into my Lightroom catalogue, as Lightroom is then able to see these files on my hard drive. However why can not Lightroom see these files on my Canon 450D camera and import directly from there in Lightroom?
Are there any setting or preference I need to change to be able to do this?Are you able to import 450D raw files into LR5.5via USB connection and are you on Windows 7/8?
I agree with your observations concerning SD vs CF card fragility, but they also have a limited number of insertions before failure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Durability
The newer Micro-USB receptacles are designed for up to 10,000 cycles of insertion and removal between the receptacle and plug, compared to 1,500 for the standard USB and 5,000 for the Mini-USB receptacle. This is accomplished by adding a locking device and by moving the leaf-spring connector from the jack to the plug, so that the most-stressed part is on the cable side of the connection. This change was made so that the connector on the less expensive cable would bear the most wear instead of the more expensive micro-USB device.
All my Canon cameras have micro-USB connectors. With one (1) insertion and removal per day that equals 10,000 days, or about 27 years before end-of-life! SD and CF cards are also rated at ~10,000 insertion and removals, but more prone to damage from static electricity and handling due to the exposed contacts and fragility of CF card sockets.
So there's no real advantage from the camera wear perspective to using a card reader. I'd say use whatever method is easiest for your workflow, but handle memory cards with care and avoid exposing them to static discharge. Ground yourself to something metal before removing memory cards and inserting them into the card reader, especially in cold Winter months.
BTW- I helped design one of the first semiconductor DRAM memory systems back in 1970. We killed more memory chips than I care to count before we discovered they were easily damaged by static electricity. Today's ICs have built-in protection, but you can still damage them with a big enough static ZAP! -
IPhoto quit and deleted just imported photos
I had imported about 30 photos to iPhoto, deleted them from the camera after completion, named the event and was uploading a few to FaceTime when iPhoto just quit. When I relaunched the event was there but the photos were not. Is there some place I can look to see if they might still exist?
BTW it is strongly recommended that you never have any computer program including iPhoto delete your photos - after importing keep the photos and then after at least one successful backup cycle you can use your camera's format command to reformat and erase the memory card - personally I rotate between three large cards so I do not delete the photos from my memory card for a year or more
You may have to use recovery software like media recover to recover them from the camera card

IPhoto'11 crashed and deleted all my photos
I've recently updated to iPhoto'11 as prompted. Last night I had just uploaded over 200 photos and now all I can see are black thumbnails with no photos, all the cover albums are of the same photos. When I opened up one of the album, it crashed then all of my photos are gone. How do I retrieve my photos and solve this crashing, once and for all?

New library has been created and deleted all old photos
After the update I was asked something about creating a new library, then there was a countdown and the iphoto app is now empty of all photos.
I have checked whether it has just created a new library but it hasn't, I also cannot find my iphoto library anywhere not Macbook. Photos from over four years have simply vanish ... please help!!!No, there is absolutely no sign of them!
do you know what the string would be to do a search i.e. ; .jpg or .doc etc... -
How can I import only jpeg and not jpeg plus RAW into Photos on iPad?
I capture both on my camera. I do post-shoot processing on computer (Lightroom/Photoshop) but want to see larger previews on iPad (the "new" version with retina display) than my camera LCD allows. I am using the Apple hadware adaptor to load from an SD card. The RAW files are taking up way too much memory on the iPad--it seems Photos imports both files at once. I can't figure our how to tell it to import only the smaller JPEG files.
If there is a better App than Photos for this, please advise. Note I will not be doing any serious editing on the iPad.
Thanks,
DougIt doesn't matter what App you use it will copy all the photos from the SD card.
But I have a workaround;
All you do is import your JPEG+RAW images using the camera connection kit.
Go to Albums in the Photo App, choose Change, Choose New Album, give name, choose Last import, choose Select all photos, choose Finish.
Now go back into the photos app and delete all the photos from your "Last import" Album. It will say that it is going to delete them everywhere but really it doesnt because it leaves the JPEG in the new album. The result is that you will only have your JPEGs that you imported in your camera roll and the RAW images get deleted.
First try out before you delete photos from SD card! -
In Photos - how do I identify and delete photos only on my iphone after upgrading to photos?
Upgraded to photos yesterday. Connected iphone to mac. IPhone in the sidebar shows 342 photos "already imported". I would like to delete those photos on my iphone (as they are already in photos) but cannot see how to do so on either my mac or phone.
Secondary Q - What does the "open Photos for this device" checkbox do?
Thank you.I don't see an easy way to delete previously imported items, but these step worked for me. Be careful to make sure you do have copies of all these photos before you decide to delete them again!
1. Check the 'Delete items after import'.
2. REIMPORT all the 'Already imported' items.
3. Open the 'Last Import' album, and delete all those photos.
For your Secondary question, when the "Open Photos for this device" box is checked, that means when you plug in that iPhone, the Photos app will open up automatically. -
