Place background on each photo in an efficient manner?

Say I have a bunch of pictures, and I want to place each of them on a certain (bigger) background, is there a way to do this in an efficient manner instead of opening up each photo and manually putting it on the background and then saving them individually?
So for example, I have a bunch of pictures taken and they're say, 100x100. And I have this background that's say 150x150 and I want to have each photo with the background behind it. Is there any way I can do this efficiently?

Thank you!

That's what actions are for. Read up on them.

I have albums in my iMAC with description for each photo that I can show up on slide show so that I know the place that is in the photo. If I synchronize my photos to iPOD, I am unable to get the Descriptions also copied. How do I ensure this?

I have two questions:
1) I have multiple logins in my iMAC. How do I move photos/albums from one login to another?
2) I have created albums with "Description" for each photos, so that, in a slide show, any one can see what is being shown on the photo. When I sync albums to my iPOD, the "Descriptions" are not getting copied. How do I ensure that the "Descriptions" also get copied so that it can be a real back-up?
Thanks

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?

Marking green screen video to know where to place background images

My students want to create short green screen movies using a number of background photos that will change as they talk about their topic. How can they mark their green screen video so they will know where to place each photo? We are using iMovie 11. Thanks

If that's the case. You don't need green screen at all.
You can shoot the students framed in such a way as to allow room for the photos and then use Picture in Picture.
Here's a how-to from the MacMost site. It's for iMovie '09 but is essentially the same for iMovie '11.

How can i place more than one photo on the print sheet

im trying to place more than on photo on a sheet of photo paper, how do I do this

There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
Sharing a Library
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
However since you seem to have a problem with that method you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
If you are unfamiliar with setting up Windows user accounts you can read more here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

Something is wrong with Preview 8.0. Saving half of each photo after edit. Why?

Preview 8.0 has a big problem. Preview 8.0 is only saving half of each photo--literally. Happens when I open photo to edit , then save. See below. (I am posting this in several places since I can find no community that deals with Preview!)
I am a long time mac user. Never had a problem before with Preview but apparently with the new update this week, I do. I have been editing photos for printing. Some need minor editing so I often use Preview with no problem. Now it eats half of each photo! I tried to use Preview revert command but that did not work; however, was eventually able to restore. But this is crazy. Have switched to using Photoshop, but that's a pain when I only want to do a fast crop and save before printing. Now cannot trust Preview!
I saw the posts about Preview crashing, but have not had that happen.
Anyone else experience anything like this. Happens on my Mac BookPro running 10.10.3.

I would run the combo updater, It's a quick easy option
If that fails, do the following steps to reset Your files permissions.
Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
In the menu bar, select Utilities -> Terminal. Type resetpassword in the Terminal and press Enter.
1 Select your main hard drive.
2 In the dropdown box under "Select the user account" make sure to select your username.
3 Select the option: "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs", click the Reset button. It's not obvious when it's complete.
4 Quit the Reset Password application.
5 Quit the Terminal.
At this point you can restart or do other tasks like running Repair Disk in Disk Utility or Reinstall OS X.
I recommend doing Repair Disk to verify the health of your drive. You can Repair Permissions while booted from your drive, but you can't Repair Disk unless you boot from recover or another drive.
To Restart: Click Mac OS X Installer in the top left and click Quit Mac OS X Installer. Click the Startup Disk button. Click on your main hard drive and click the Restart button.

I created an album in iPhoto 11 and I have placed photos in a certain order for her graduation party slideshow. I want to place that album or photos on a thumbdrive, but when I do I lose the order I placed them in the folder.

I created an album in iPhoto 11 and I have placed photos in a certain order for her graduation party slideshow. I want to place that album or photos on a thumbdrive, but when I do I lose the order I placed them in the folder. renamed the photos starting with 1 and ending 262. thinking that would save the photos in order. Each time I try to export them that are placed in original folder names and descriptions need help.

This is a two part process. First we title the photos, then we export them, using the title as filename.
To title them
Once you have then in the order you want select them all and go
Photos -> Batch Change. Select set 'Title' to 'Text'
Choose a Title -> Graduation 2013 or whatever, then check the box at 'Append number to each photo.
Now, in the Album all your photos are named... Graduation 001, 002, 003 etc
Next Export them:
File -> Export, and in the Name option, choose 'Title as Filename' and complete the export.

Can I change the background on each page of the iPad?

I know how to set home screen and lock screen, but was wondering if there is a way to change the background to each page on the iPad. I am a teacher and would like each page to have a background set to a specific picture or word so my students know which page they use on a particular day. Is this possible? If so, can someone walk me through it?

No - you can only have one background picture which applies to all homescreens

Wich version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '09 or '11 to order prints.
Make an album of all photos you want to order in the same order.
Then select all photos at once, when you use Share > order prints.
You should see a panel like this, where you can mark the quantities. The screenshot is from iPhoto 9.6:

How do i turn my photos into a photo stock where each photo may appear under several titles/albums?

Hi apple dudes, I have about 7500 photos on my work MacBook Pro and what I want to do with them is tag/label each one with up to 5 headings so that each photo could effectively appear in or under multiple albums. I am effectively trying to create a photo stock of loads of images. To further explain, a picture of a dog a boat and a palm tree on a beach at sunset could fall under the heading of "dog", "beach", "tree", "boat", "sunset" etc, you get the picture ;0) Is there an easy way of doing this? I have "inherited" this fantastic job and the current photos may not be in any real order or albums and a lot of them don’t have a date or location attached to them. Can anyone provide any help with this query? Thank guys ;0) x

What I would do is first create the keywords that you want to use to identify the different photos with. You can do that in the Keyword pane (Command+K). Then select the first photo in an event or grouping you want to start with, bring up the keyword pane and start applying the keywords to the photos. When you finish with one use the arrow key on the keyboard to move to the next and apply the appropriate keyword(s).
Then you can create smart albums with the criteria: Keyword is "dog". You can set it to look for two or more keywords. Keyword is "dog" and Keyword is "tree". That will find all photos with either of those two keywords. If you want only photos with both keywords you have to create a Keyword named "dog + tree" and use the criteria Keyword is "dog + tree". A little clumsy but can be done.
Each smart album will contain just those photos you've targeted.

As a new Macbook Pro user I was saddened to find that the feature of using keywords in iPhoto '11 does not allow showing same under each photo. I understand this was available in earlier versions. Any comments?

I look for integrated in the legend bloc of diaporama, a widget such as "Accordion" for, with a click, or passing with mouse, open a new legend for each photo. I tried with "Accordion" of Muse, it does not work. I tried copy/paste, mais no result. The widget disappear in bloc legend. disparaître. Have you one solution?
Thank you,

Accordion or Tabbed panel should to it, with click and open container.
Please provide site url where this does not work, also if you can provide an example where we can see the exact action then it would help us.

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto.

What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

Help! Unwanted patterns appearing in the background of edited photos!

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this- I'm continuing to have issues when I open a photo to edit in Elements. I will apply a filter or a distortion or even sharpen the image and then there are suddenly gray and white patterns that appear in the background of my photo. They're not pixels- it looks as though the background of the photo is showing through and it saves as a JPEG that way as well (background showing through). I've included a screenshot of a photo I was editing where it occurred.
I've tried contacting support for this- the first time they claimed it was fixed (it wasn't) and the second time they hung up on me so I'm getting desperate to find someone with an answer here. Any help would be much appreciated- thanks!

Update your graphics driver and flush the disk cache. This is an artifact that relates to that - eitehr the buffer reappears when you set it back to the old resolution or an invalid cache is pulled in. It only disappears when you change the resolution because naturally there is no previously stored data...

Different caption for each photo in web gallery

When you take your selected Photos from Library to WEB is it possible to have a different caption for each photo. If I select 1 photo from the import and change its caption using the caption popup in the "Image Info" pane all the image captions change even the unselected ones.
How can I change individual photos so that they will have individual captions in the web gallery?

You should change the caption metadata field in the Library module. Go to the Library module, select the image you want to change the caption on, in the right panel, scroll down to the metadata section. Make sure that the popup to the left of metadata is set to "default" and you should see the standard metadata. Simply type your caption here. Then, if you've done this for all your photos, go back to your web section and make sure you set the caption popup in the image info section back to "caption", which will use the info in the caption metadata field for each photo automatically.
