Photos for OS X 10.10.3

Given there are many problems with the new Photos I trust everybody is logging deficiencies with Apple on the link below. I have started with Project Books which I often use. Such as the poor Book page picture format layouts.

    Have you recently deleted photos using the finder or run clean up software?  Is so restore your backup
    If not the backup your iPhoto Library and launch iPhoto while depressing the option and command keys. Rebuild your database

  • All my family photos for the last 6 years are disappeared...

    Hi,
    Can anybody help me?
    I am in complete chock fearing that all my family photos from the last 7 years are lost!
    I have had ALL my family photos in the Adobe Stater Edition. Lately, I have been requested to register to get an unlock code every time I wanted to see photos or download new photos. I have tried to register but has been informed that the Adobe Starter Edition does not exist anymore. Yesterday, I therefore loaded all my photos into Picasa. I worked with the photos for about one hour - and then they suddently all disappeared. I seached for the photoes everywhere but they are completely gone... they are not on the hard disk at all. How is that possible? The photos were located on the hard disc in the "Picture folder" in a subfolder named "Adope". This subfolder was created automatically, years ago, when I started to load photo into the Adope Starter Edition. This subfolder is now empty - how is that possible? If I now start up the Adobe Starter Edition I get the usual "unlock message" - but behind the message I can see some of my photos but maybe this is just a "dead" bacground from my last attempt to get the unlock code?
    What should I do - can anybody please help me? I am willing to upgrade to whatever type of Adobe product it requires to get the last 7 years of my family life back.
    And yes... I did a full back-up of my photos app. 12 months ago... I looked for it yesterday in complete panic... it is gone... we had a burglary last summer... and yesterday I realized that it has been stolen.
    ALL - ALL!! the photos of my two wonderful girls growing up... sitting in the Danish summer fields with floral wreaths on their head... I cannot believe it... I fell I have lost their childhood.
    Please help me...
    Kirsten

    In Picasa, look under to Tools menu, under Options, and at the bottom, it shows 'Save Imported Pictures in...'; look at where it is saving files, then look for a folder called Picasa at that location; could be that it moved all your files to there.

  • Hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

    hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

    If your computers are connected to the same network, you can turn on Sharing to allow you to see the contents of one from the other and do transfers. If there is no network, you can use "target disk mode" explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13842
    Otherwise, you will need to use external storage such as a USB flash drive.

  • How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
    So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

  • How do I make a private album in new Photos for IMac?

    How do I make a private album in the new Photos for IMac? I had one in iPhoto, and now that all the photos migrated to Photos my private album is not hidden anymore. Thanks for help!

    Photos does not hide photos in albums at all.  Photos can only be hidden from Moments, Collections, Years.
    If you want private albums, move the photos in questions to a different Photos Library, that you keep hidden.

  • An error occurred while downloading a larger version of this photo for editing. Please try again later.

    I've moved to photos from iphoto and for a while all was good. And quite exciting. My entire 15k photos have migrated and are available on all my devices. 
    Suddenly, I get this warning when I select or try to edit a photo: Cant Download Photo: An error occurred while downloading a larger version of this photo for editing. Please try again later.
    There is an exclamation  mark and a warning triangle on the picture. I am only able to test on my ibook as my Imac is out of action.
    If I log in to icloud in Safari, I can down load the full sized image no problem.  Any one got any ideas?

    Well stone me, it's started working.  Nothing changed on my side.....  go figure.

  • Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,
    André

  • Why is the item count in Photos for Mac significantly higher after upgrading from iPhoto?

    Since upgrading to Photos for Mac from iPhoto, I've noticed the number of photos and videos in my library is higher than what I had before. Granted I imported some photos into the new app since then but taking that into account there's still a big discrepancy.
    In iPhoto 9.6.1, the item count is 13,394 and I have since imported 95 new items into Photos for Mac. The total then should be 13,489 but Photos for Mac lists the item count at 13,626. That's a difference of 137 items.
    Even taking into consideration that Photos for Mac might be including the 32 photos and videos that were in iPhoto's Trash (now Recently Deleted) folder, it still wouldn't account for 105 mystery items.
    Does anyone have any insight into this difference in the number of items?

  • What is the ideal size and resolution of a photo for display on the iPad?

    I'm finding no info on the size of a photo for the best possible display on the iPad.  The screen is obviously much larger than iPod Touch or iPhone; photos sized for them are fuzzy on the iPad.  Ideally, a photo should be sized for the exact number of pixels on the iPad screen.  Can anyone help me here?  Thanks!

    This is done automatically via the iTunes sync/transfer process - photos are optimized for viewing on the iPad, and there is not an option to change the default optimization settings.

  • Iphoto has been importing photos for over an hour and i can't get it to stop. can't stop importing and can't shut down computer.

    iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop.  Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.

    iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
    And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
    Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
    Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
    System boot drive
    Media and data folders and such
    scratch
    backup
    etc
    I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
    If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
    Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
    You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
    Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
    Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?

  • Photos for Mac stuck importing photos from iPhone

    I recently upgraded to Photos for Mac from Aperture. Upgrading the library went fairly smoothly. On my first attempt to import photos from my iPhone 6, Photos is now stuck in the import process.
    The import tab (device selected) shows the following:
    Already imported (2,509 items)
    New items (442 items)
    No thumbnail images are visible (just the default grey squares indicating items)
    At the top of this screen is an import progress bar that has not shown any progress. This progress indicator says "Importing 442 items" but the bar itself remains grey; I'm assuming there would be either a black or colored indicator showing some progress when the import process is working correctly.
    After about an hour with no indication of progress, I selected the "Stop Import" option, with no noticeable results. I tried clicking the Stop Import button several more times, still with no results. Let things be for about five minutes, with no change in status. The import still seems stuck; clicking the stop button does nothing.
    Next, I quit the Photos application. An error sheet appears: "Do you want to continue importing? Photos is currently importing files. If you quit the import task will be canceled." I select "Quit".
    Now Photos gets stuck closing the library. All app windows close except for a tiny square that says: "Closing the library..." The library does not close and I run out of patience waiting for it to do so and force quit the application.
    I am using a 27-inch late-2009 iMac
    8GB memory
    2.66 GHz Intel Core i5
    177GB storage space available
    Photos 1.0
    Photo library is approx. 107GB

    Update: Force Quitting and restarting the app apparently solved whatever was preventing importation of photos from the iPhone.

  • Should I still down-size photos for my website?

    Hi - I am making a website.  I know - or at least I think I know - that you should down-size your images for fast loading times.  For example, if I have a photo that's 3800x3800 and is 2 MB in size, I always down-size it to maybe 1000x1000 and about 150KB or so.
    I know we like to think that "everyone" has a fast web connection but I don't think that's always the case and with mobile you have to factor that in too.
    A colleague working on another website asked me what I thought of her photo gallery.  She had a thumb nail and when you click on it, it opens up much like a light box effect.  Her large photo is 1200 x 1200 and is 1 MB in file size.  I pointed out to her that she may want to take the larger photo and if she wants to keep the 1200 x 1200 fine, but she may want to reduce file size.  I got it down to about 180KB and sent them to her side by side.  She said she was worried about the quality (I honestly did not notice anything but maybe her eyes are better than mine).
    I know there's always a catch-22 of "quality vs. file size."  So with all of this said, I'm just asking for links, opinions, and so forth about this.  I also tried explaining that phones don't always have great connections so the down-sizing should be taken into consideration.
    Should I continue to scale down my photos like I have been as described above?  Or doesn't it matter any more - that I can take a 1 or 2 MB photo and just use that for my web image to display in a photo gallery?
    Any thoughts, links to articles, etc., are appreciated.  Thanks, Deaf Guy

    Hi Osgood - I'm fully aware of shooting high res and down-scaling for whatever you need the image for.  Some folks I've worked with over the years were totally unaware.  They thought you could shoot a low-res image and then blow it up to your heart's desire.
    I totally understand and respect your thoughts on your post.  I basically look at as to each his own - whatever makes you and your clients happy is the key.  At the same time there should be at least a minimum amount of standards and expectations, too.  Taking a client photo that was given to me and it's 2500x2500 and 2.5 MB and they say, "Stick this on my web page," I think it's important that they understand that this is not smart because of the large file size, possible slow connections and so forth.
    The only time I would post it as is if it was some kind of photo gallery where you would want the person to have access to the large file (similar to what iStock does).
    I think educating your client is also important.  When I sent the side by side photos to her, she said, "So how do you do this?"  This person is also a web developer to boot.  I'm not criticizing her, but I thought most web developers would at least know about scaling down photos for websites.
    But anyway, thanks for your post on this.
