Printing in Iphoto 6 Vs. 3rd Party Printing Program?

Why is printing in Iphoto 6 seem to degrade or print out a picture worse than when you use Canon's Easy Photo or Photoshop? The pictures come out darker and not as true as when you use the other programs. It would be convenient to use just Iphoto for everything. Any suggestions or help?

Lenny:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. A lot has to do with color profiles and how iPhoto handles them. Canon's software probably uses the canon I've not gotten a handle on that either and use Photoshop from within iPhoto to do my most of my printing. I have PS set up to use the sRGB color profile as that's what is used by Apple for books, calendars, etc. iPhoto may or may not use the profile depending on how you have the preferences set up (Advanced section of iPhoto's preferences). As I said, since I do most everything via PS I just print from it also.
Do you Twango?

3rd party mail program?

I'm having issues with MacMail and ATT/yahoo (sbcglobal.net). Apple points its fingers at ATT and ATT points their fingers at Apple. I've given up. I would like to find a 3rd party mail program that will handle multiple accounts and work with ATT/yahoo. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

IPhoto Editing via 3rd party tools

All ... if I choose to edit my iPhoto images via another tool (eg. Photoshop), I know you can configure iPhoto to open that Application when you wish to edit. I'm good with that. But, how can you take the newly edited image from the 3rd party software, and save it back into iPhoto? Can this be done? If so, how?
Thanks!

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Will upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) affect the running of the installed 3rd party softwares/programs?

I have just received an email encouraging me to upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Currently I do have in my computer several 3rd party software and programs (from Adobestuff, finalcut Pro, MS Office, ILife etc.
Will upgrading to OS X Mavericks affect the running of these software /programs? Will I need to also upgrade these softwares?

There may be issues with compatibilty, as with any OS upgrade. Snow leopard (10.6.N) includes a piece of software from Apple called Rosetta. This software allows older PowerPC applications to run on Intel based Macs. This software does not run on any OS X higher than the latest Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. You can see if you have any of programs that require Rosetta installed by bringing up the "System Information" application through spotlight (click on the magnifying glass icon on the upper right, type System Information in the search field and select the application thta is found).
Once in System Information select "Applications" under "Software" near the bottom of the list. Scroll through the list of applications and if any indicate that they are PowerPC based then they will not run under Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
Hope this helps.

3rd Party Drivers - Program installation stalled

I'm trying to install an embroidery program (Bernina) in XP on a macbook pro with boot camp, but somewhere down the process the installation always hangs with a small box generated by installer that says 'Installing 3rd Party drivers'. After this the install program is using 0% CPU indefinitely and only 'End Task' will shut it down. Using Boot Camp 2.1.
The program successfully installed on on Dell laptop, and for a while I thought the problem was SP3 being installed with XP. Uninstalling SP3 resulted in no change in install outcome, and did cause some other broken programs.
The program has a USB security key for authentication, but we can't even get that far.
Any & all suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

Recommended 3rd party recovery programs

I did recently look through a few of the older topics, but was a little lost as to which program I should choose, as there's so many.
So I'm going to be purchasing a laptop within the week and I need a way to transfer my music on my ipod to itunes (on the laptop). I'm familiar with the manual procedure of locating the hidden files and copying them, but I'm concerned about keeping my play-counts and the such. I've been rifling through a good deal of these third party programs, but some seem a little shifty and complicated. Any real recommended programs that anyone has used succesfully? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
There are plenty of programs that do this but the only one that is able to completely build your iTunes library from your iPod is CopyTrans http://www.copytrans.net
This tool does not only handle your songs like others do but also your playlists, ratings, play count, album artworks, videos, and podcasts (incl. subscriptions) etc and imports all that to iTunes in the right order and categories.

You might consider instead purchasing an external hard drive (they are pretty cheap right now), copying your iTunes folder to that drive, installing iTunes on the new laptop and then copying the iTunes folder from the external hard drive to the laptop.
This will preserve everything you have and the bonus is you will now be able to easily back up your library in the future.

CMYK to RGB conversion without 3rd party software?

Does anyone know a way to use Automator to convert CMYK color mode images to RGB without having to have Photoshop or such installed? All Automator add ons I have seen thus far involve either Adobe products or other 3rd party image programs.
Thanks!

Hello again Ric,
Thanks for your help. I would appreciate a bit of Applescript help. I have Automator back in the mix after playing around a bit.
Yes, my associate who owns the website has neither PS, or GC. So if we can set up a way to automate this via email that would be great. I think I am actually about half way there, and I hope you will be kind enough to help me get the rest of the way.
My machine is no longer the spunkiest, so I am using GC to do the color mode conversion, as it can launch, convert, and save the file in less than 1/4 the time Photoshop takes to launch. So yes, I'm doing this in a crazy fashion, but I have good reasons.
This is my script thus far:
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
tell application "Mail"
set numberOfMessages to count theMessages
repeat with eachMessage in theMessages
set theSubject to subject of eachMessage
try
set nameOfAttachment to the name of the first mail attachment of eachMessage
(*if nameOfAttachment ends with ".torrent" then*)
set filename to "Macintosh HD:Users:parr:Desktop:Alpha Images:•From Brett:" & nameOfAttachment
save first mail attachment of eachMessage in filename
tell application "GraphicConverter"
activate
open {alias filename}
save window 1
close window 1
quit
end tell
tell application "Automator"
execute "Alpha Convert"
end tell
end try
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
This works up until I call my Automator workflow. In my workflow I currently have the scale item and the convert to jpeg item.
Question 1: How do we tell Automator what files to use as an input? Do I have to add a Get Selected or Get Specified Finder Items? Can I use the 'filename' variable from the above script?
Once I have that down, any advice you can give on emailing it back would be great.
Thanks again.

E61 Calender: Best 3rd party repalcement app?

I just switched from a Treo 600 to the E61. What a difference. Great connectivity, but what a basic Calender app. What is the best 3rd party replacement program available?

Well, I solved my own problem. A simple cron entry works flawlessly and reliably.

What 3rd party companies are there that offer a photo printing service for ipad2 users? I suppose I am looking for a similar service to iPhoto on the MacBook pro but so far I've had no joy. I'm uk based.

Scanning Slides for Printing by 3rd Party: Maximum Print Size Wanted

I am wanting to license a series of vintage slides via my Zazzle.com store. The images scanned from the slides would be printed on the various products that they sell. Ideally I am looking to obtain the maximum resulting image size in the hopes of offering some of the designs on smaller sized posters. Some of the images were taken with everyday cameras while others were taken with expensive cameras such as a Zeiss Contarex so am guessing the film grain quality is going to vary although all are mounted in standard slide frames.
I wanting to scan slides, or have slides scanned, into a lossless format such as tiff for archiving purposes, which would then be copied and opened inside photoshop and illustrator. I also have negatives from box cameras and similar older materials, but want to tackle the slides first.
From reading the posts here the two main strategies appear to be:
1. Do it yourself:
I've read various posts that say this may take a specialized scanner costing $2,000, while others claim a Epson V500 does just as good of job - of course I wondering if the person using the Epson is wanting to print commercial products from the designs.
What machines are recommended for use with Lion?
Also there appears to be a debate about the best software, such as Digital Ice or VueScan? Any suggestions?
2. Hire a 3rd party service:
One main concern here is the items could get lost.
The other major concern is how good are the resulting slides going to be. I've looked at various 3rd party sites that offer scanning and each appears to offer a differing opinion as to what dpi should be used. I understand that at a certain point a higher dpi setting is not going to obtain any further helpful information from the slide, but what exactly is the maximum setting that I should be shooting for? I see services offering 4,000 dpi, yet some of the dedicated slide scanners can go much higher so I am wondering if these services are just wanting to use the lower dpi to save on the resulting image size as opposed to obtaining the maximum print size?

Kappy, How do you do it with iPhoto?
CMCSK, For some reason, against my expectations, iWorks or Pages was nowhere to be found. I "spotlighted" them after failing to find them in the applications folder. I did not think to look for Microsoft Word Trial Version on the Mac. I doubted it would be there because Apple has Pages and Numbers. I'll check later, but I guess I also want to know how to do it without trial software.
Kenichi Watanabe, Scaling only allows me to change the size, but not the position of the image. Halfway there!
RothRock, After clicking the arrow, I get many options, including scaling, but I can't find any positioning option (other than just the Centre option).
Does anybody know how to scale and position? I'm going to try iPhoto some more. Something as simple as positioning for printing shouldn't be this hard to find.

How do i print sms messages from my iphone without a 3rd party app?

How do I print a complete SMS message from my iphone without using a 3rd party app?

If you have an AirPrint compatible printer, or you have a print app, then you could take a screenshot of each page of the message and then print them. Otherwise, there is no native solution to print SMS messages on the iPhone.
