Photo editing Mac book pro

Bought LaCie little big Thunderbolt 2 for my wife's raw photo editing she uses Mac book pro a lot of the time but the loading time for each photo is unexceptable. We thought with this purchase based on how fast it is suppose to be we must be doing Something wrong can anyone help with this?

What MBP does she have?
Might want to download and run Etrecheck: http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
Post the report here and someone can look it over, see if anything seems unusual.

How can I transfer all my photos on MAC book pro in iphoto to a pc for back up and storage

Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.

How to open a zip file of photos on Mac Book Pro when it cannot find or fix alias

I do a home photo editing business. One of a my clients sent me a disc that she zipped to compress because there were a lot of pictures on it. When I try to open it on my Mac Book Pro I keep getting an error message that it cannot find alias and what program do I want to use to open it. It also gives me an option to "fix alias" but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I open zip files on my Mac Book Pro? I should probably mention that the client also uses a Mac Book Pro and her pictures were in her iPhoto before she zipped them on a disc.
Thanks for your help!!!

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

Help transferring photos from Mac Book pro (10.8.1) to a Mac Mini (10.5.8

I am trying to transfer/migrate iphotos on a Mac Book Pro (v10.8.1) to a Mac Mini (v10.5.8). Is this possible?
It appears to allow for migration of the mac mini to the mac book pro, but not the other way around. HELP!

Hi, I think you're going to have to copy the actual pics to somewhere on the Mini, or at least point the mini to the folders one by one to Import Library, instead of trying to Import the newer Library.

Can you use apple remote to take photos on mac book pro?

I have an up-to-date apple remote. Is there a way to use it to take photos on a macbook pro (from a distance)? Or for that matter, on an iPhone??

Twisted Melon's Mira, http://twistedmelon.com/mira/, is one application that allows you to use your remote with Photo Booth on a MBP.

If you know the name of the photo, search for it using the name. If you don't and have Time Machine or other backup, locate the photo and you should be able to get the name.

MAC BOOK PRO OR I MAC

today i want to purchase either an i mac or macbook pro. please help me to choose one. my main interest is to work with photos. if mac book pro is capable of dealing with high end software like adobe photoshop cs6, is it preferrable to buy it or should i go for I mac? please tell me

iMac has a big screen is is capable or Phot Editing, iMovie, watching movies, view images in larger screens.
iMac can hold better memory better.
Pros:
Attractive, sleek, and solid industrial design.
Quite fast. In addition to fast processors, currently shipping "Mid-2011" and "Late 2011" as well as discontinued "Mid-2010" models all have "dedicated" graphics for improved performance compared to some earlier models as well.
All 21.5-Inch and 27-Inch models have beautiful LED-backlit displays created for optimum use with 16:9 high-definition video.
RAM is very easy to upgrade and the processor in some models can be upgraded as well.
Dual-layer DVD write support, 802.11n, and Firewire "800" standard in all configurations (the current "Mid-2011" models support "Thunderbolt" as well).
Official dual display support and built-in iSight for easy video conferencing.
SD Card slot standard in all 21.5" and 27" models (the previous "Mid-2010" and current "Mid-2011" and "Late 2011" models support the more advanced SDXC standard as well).
Reasonable value.
Cons:
All-in-one design limits internal expansion. Apple provides no support for end-user upgrades beyond RAM.
The hard drive in 20" and 24" models is difficult to upgrade and even more difficult to upgrade in 21.5" and 27" models.
The processor, likewise, is difficult to upgrade yourself in all models and apparently blocked in others.
Glossy display in all models. Discontinued 20-Inch models have lower quality 6-bit displays with more limited viewing angle.
Keyboard design is polarizing -- some will like it, some will not.
Depending on the desired configuration, it may be less expensive to purchase an Intel-based Mac mini.
Limited legacy support -- uses "Rosetta," no support of MacOS 9/Classicapplications.
SD Card Slot on 21.5" and 27" models is placed awkwardly close to the optical drive slot on the right hand side, which makes it easy to mistakenly stick an SD Card in the optical drive.
Premium compared to generic "white box" PC
Macbook Pro is very helpful when you have a business and need to use it a lot on the go such as business, vacation and more. But the case is that MacBook Pro is a lot likely to get stolen if you leave it alone.
MacBook Pro 2012 is new and has better technology

I have photoshop cc and a mac book pro. I cannot access my photos from photoshop. I can go to iPhoto and click edit to edit them in photoshop, but photoshop won't open them. I want to do a collage, so I need to get to more than one photo.

See if exporting them helps:

I am looking to upgrade my white iBook to a mac book pro, it will be used for photo editing up of som 50k photos or more for the family. iPhoto stoked on external HD

What type of mac book pro should I look at with 8 or 16gb ram?.

8 GB RAM will be sufficient for photo editing. The 15" display would be superior in both size and resolution when compared to the 13". The best approach is to test both in an Apple store.

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!

HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there. Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
That means you imported one Library to another.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
So, what to do?
Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.
Regards
TD

Hi and I bought Lion and I Photo 11 yesterday and now I want to install these at no cost on my 2nd Mac Book Pro?

Hi and can you please tell me how to use Lion and I Photo 11 from one Mac Book Pro to another. Apple said that I only had to pay once for this. Thank you from Wayne Kurtz
<Edited by Host>

Hi..
On the Mac you want to re download Lion and iPhoto ..
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase and you will not be charged again.

How to transfer photos from iphoto 09 on iMac to iphoto on Mac Book Pro

This is my first posting as I have tried unsuccessfully to find an answer to my query in the many answers to questions already posed.
I have an iMac and recently my girlfriend bought a Mac Book Pro. Whilst I have managed to transfer my music library to her Mac Book Pro using the new sharing facility in the latest version of iTunes, I have been unable to transfer the photos which I have on my Mac in iphoto 09.
Any help, advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in anticipation of your assistance.
Best regards
EDIT: Just realised that I have posted this in iPhoto 08 instead of iPhoto 09 - I hope someone can still help!

Many thanks for your reply Terence
I understand what you mean, but would you be so kind as to explain how I should connect the machines. At first, I thought that some form of double ended USB may do it, but when I spoke to someone at work, they suggested a cross over ethernet cable.
Your advice would be appreciated.
Thank you once again

Photos from iPhone to Mac Book pro

I want to copy photos from my i phone 4 to a new Mac Book pro but the Mac only sees the latest picture folder on the i phone and has a 12 month window. I cannot find a way to get the older folders. Have tried i photo and capture. Any suggestions please?

Check out my iPhoneToMac Photo app. It transfers Camera Roll photos to your Mac over WiFi (no cable required!). There's a free trial version available to give you the opportunity to try it out.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link

There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote.
