Photo Stacking in iPhoto

Hi,
Does anyone know if this is possible, if so how to do it?
Regards.

Do you mean like stacking in Aperture? No, it's not a feature if iPhoto.

  • Some photos pulled from iPhoto turn green when placing them in a project. Is there any way to fix this?

    I am using a Macbook Pro with 2GHz Intel Core i7 processor; 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and OS 10.9.4. I have iPhoto 9.5.1 and iMovie 10.0.4. I have a project with video, and have added some still photos from my iPhoto Library. All of the photos appear fine until I add them to a project. Then some of them turn to a solid green. If I create a mp4 from this project, the offending photos remain green.
    I have checked the offenders in iPhoto to see if there is a common denominator. There is no common camera and no common editing. I did make a previous attempt to place some of the photos into an iMovie project and some of them were dropped into the wrong place--like into a title. But didn't notice any glitches at that time, only afterwards and I'm not sure if any of the problem photos were a part of that incident.
    I have absolutely no problem with iPhoto. Is there a library file that can be deleted to force iMovie to rebuild its connection to iPhoto.

    Only to load your backup from before downloading the MM photos

  • I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this

    I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this?
    I have iPhoto version 9.1.5 (615)
    Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    I want to do this because when I imported from my old hard drive there was an error message stating that 12 photos were not imported as the programm did not recognise the format even though they were jpegs like the other photos in that particular album. The dates of the photo folders are wrong I have multiple copies of photos and every time I start iPhoto I get the following message 12 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported would you like to import them No or Yes
    if you press Yes the same message comes back again and if you press Yes again the program flicks to last import for 2 seconds and then opens events.
    if you press No the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user/judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos then if you press OK the original message 12 photos have been found.............
    if you press No at this point the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user /judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos_11 the end number goes up by 1 every time you go through this process
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
    The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    For the annoying start-up message:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

    Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts?  If so:
    1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
    2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane.  This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

  • How to edit photo size in Iphoto

    Hi Guys,
    Im trying to find a way to reduce the size of a photo so I can post it on a message board. I cant find where to do this! I tried "cropping" the photo but I dont want to cut the photo I just want to reduce the size from 2048 x 1536 to 800 x 600 (pixels). Is there a way to reduce by percentages like in Windows??? Thanks for the help Im still new to my Imac...Im going to assume there is a way to do this!!!
    Dr. Pee

    You'll have to export the photo out of iPhoto using the File->Export->File Export menu option which will let you select the pixel dimension and the quality/compression level of the new file.
    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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Photos deleted from iPhoto, but still in Library folder

    iPhoto 9.5.1
    Strange behavior in iPhoto : let's say I imported 100 photos. Then, in iPhoto, deleted 80, keeping 20. Emptied trash in iPhoto. Then emptied Trash in Finder.
    Let's say the "_DSC1234.JPG" photo was among deleted files. When searching "_DSC1234.JPG" in Spotlight, I find it in the "Master" folder of the "iPhoto Library" folder (Photothèque in French).
    I've got a lot of photos deleted, but kept in Library, Not good for privacy, not good for hard drive space.
    For exemple, I find 514 ".NEF" photos in the iPhoto searchbox. But when searching in the iPhoto LIbrary folder with Spotlight for files with ".NEF" in their names, I find 1048 ! No duplicates, no previews or "faces" (hey are in JPEG), but photos I deleted, before emptying iPhoto and Finder trash !!
    Rebuilding Library didn't help.
    I'm using a user account not allowed to administrate the computer. Maybe a link ?
    The question was already asked, but never answered :
    Growing iPhoto Library, deleted photos still in folders
    Deleted Photos:  Why are they still in my iphoto library folder?
    Photos deleted from within iPhoto are still in Library folder
    Thanks for your help !

    Strange behavior again, with the original library : If I select NO event and use the menu Information, I've got 14.634 photos. If I select all events, I've got 15.760 photos. How can I have more photos in all events than in my Library ??????
    Check, if you have hidden photos.
    File > New Smart Album,  with a rule: Photo is hidden
    In my iPhoto Library the "Hidden" flag accounts for the difference in the Photos count between selecting all events and no events.
    Make sure, "View > Hidden Photos" is enabled in the View menu, so you can recognize hidden photos by the X.

  • How get all photos from photo streams without iPhoto

    Hi to make A long story short, I lost a Hard Drive with iPhoto on it... Including all my baby's pics ... However I can still see them in the photo streams on my idevices.. First off without that Mac how can just grab all the photos off photo stream without iPhoto?
    Secondly, if I can install iPhoto on another machine or drive will that help or hurt me? Will all the photos show up under my Apple ID and can I just copy them or am I running any risk of deleting the streams?
    Is my only option to copy photos from photo stream a few at a time? And does that not repush them back up to the stream and erase older photos?
    Thank you for any help!!
    Yes I know I am a complete idiot for not backing up or using online backup service... 

    If you create a new library on another Mac, set its Photo Stream preferences to
    and log into your iCloud account on that Mac and enable Photo Stream,  the Photo Stream photos will automatically be imported into the new library. It can take a while depending on how many photos are in the stream.
    When you're done log out of your iCloud account and copy the library to a flash drive or DVD (if small enought) till you get your new drive.

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.

  • Moving photos from one iPhoto library to another

    Is there a way to move photos from one iPhoto library to another? I tried to use export, and that puts the photos in the other iPhoto library (I can see the photo if I open Hard drive>user>pictures>iPhoto Library but when I open iPhoto it is not in that Library's library.
    If I have not made myself clear, please ask and I'll try again.

    Is there really no other way than via third party software??
    Yes there is, detailed above: export from one, import to another.
    I love using iPhoto but this is a real drawback.
    Wow, really?
    I have bought an external disk so i can free the space on my laptop by moving photos and now I have to buy some software in order to do that??
    You don't have to buy it. What's more the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will move up to 20 pics at a time. And the paid version is only $20.
    BTW: you can run an entire library from the external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How do I stop my wife's iPhone from importing her photos to my iPhoto account on my laptop?

    How do I stop my wife's iPhone from importing her photos to my iPhoto account on my laptop?
    I set it up to do this a couple years ago but I forgot exactly how I did it.  Now I need to know how to stop it.
    What version of iPhoto? v9.6
    Of the OS? 10.10.1
    How are you importing photos? The photos (camera roll) from my wife's iPhone 5 syncs via wifi to my iPhoto account on the the laptop.  This happens when she logs on to the laptop.  We do not use the same Apple ID.
    Like I said, I did this a couple years ago.   I totally forgot how I did it and what method (iTunes settings?, Mac settings?, iPhone setting?) I utilized.
    I was over at the forum which deals with iPhoto but they feel it is an iCloud issue.

    Understood.
    What version of iPhoto? v9.6
    Of the OS? 10.10.1
    How are you importing photos - PhotoSream? - iTunes sync? finder? image capture?exactly what are you doing and how are you doing it?

  • I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later.  But I have version 8.1.2.  I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

    Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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. .

  • I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

    I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

    Hi Canadian Beaver Tail!
    You may want to try restoring the photo in iPhoto, using the instructions suggested in the following article:
    iPhoto '11: Delete or restore a photo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2398
    To restore a deleted photo:
    If you haven’t yet emptied the iPhoto Trash, do the following:
    Select Trash in the Source list.
    Select the photo you want to restore.
    Choose Photos > “Restore to Photo Library.”You can also drag the item out of the Trash into an empty part of the Source list.
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover a photo, an Event, a folder, an album, a project (such as a book, card, or calendar), or a slideshow even if you deleted it from the library and emptied it from the Trash.To restore photos, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing your iPhoto library, and then open Time Machine.To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.For more information on using Time Machine, see the topics in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center, and then search for “Time Machine.”
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden
