Question about geotagging photos

does it use data or just the iphone's gps sensors? thanks.

The iPhone uses A-GPS or assisted GPS. The assisted part uses cell tower location data to speed up the initial GPS acquisition from a cold start only. More than likely some data is used, but not much.

I bought a Canon 8400F scanner- question about multiple photos being scanne

Hi,
I have a question about about scanning photos. It was posted that if you scan something with multiple photos, it will separate the pictures.
If I put 6 pictures on the scanner, will it automatically scan them and separate them, or is there something in the software where I select it to separate each picture.
Thank you

I'm not at my Mac right now but it should be real obvious in the CanoScan software. Open it up and play around. It will jump out at you.
You don't tell it to select "each" picture. You merely tell it that there are multiple pictures and it then does everything automatically.

Questions about iPod photo and Apple Protection Plan

I have an iPod photo and an APP that expires May 2007. My
iPod's battery has permanently run out and I plan to use my APP and send it to Apple. Here are my questions:
1. What is the best way to contact them about sending my iPod to them?
2. Does the APP cover battery replacement?
3. Has Apple discontinued the making of iPod photos?
4. If so, will they still replace my battery or will they just send me a completely new iPod?

1) You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
2) Yes.
3) Yes.
4) They will send a replacement iPod photo. They have stock just for this purpose.

General question about syncing/photos

maybe this is the most ridiculous question i can ask, but i just can't grasp syncing photos.
say i have photos on my phone and photos in my iphotos and itunes is set up to sync photos with iphoto, will the photos on my phone just be added to my iphoto or will the iphone photo gallery be made to replicate my iphoto gallery?
i have lots of photos on my iphone i would love to separate into different galleries on my iphone.
i've also had an issue where lots of photos seem to have gone missing from my phone after syncing ant they are no where to be found...
i'm just generally not having a fun experience dealing with my photos on my iphone and through iphoto as i never feel like i have full control over where the files end up and how they are moved...

The photo sync process is ONE -WAY - computer to iphone. You go to the photo tab and select the folders/albums that you would like to sync. Those folders/album will be reflected on your iphone ( but in lower resolution) You cannot sync these photos back to your computer. The iphone is NOT a backup device.
Pics taken/saved with iphone ( Camera Roll) should be imported ( as you would import from any digital camera) to your computer regularly. You can then organize and sync them to iphone.

Question about import photos into iphoto/aperture

I have my own folder of photos in my hard drive. If I want to import them into iphoto/aperture, will all the photos be dupilicated on my hard drive?
If yes, this will use double of my hard drive space, it's not a good thing, right?

There are a couple of ways to answer this.
1. Yes... and no... and no
By default iPhoto copies the files into the iPhoto Library when importing. This is called a Managed Library If you work in the default setting then your "own folder of photos" is pointless and you can trash it.
You can set iPhoto to simply reference the files - that is not copy them. However, I strongly urge you not to do this, especially if you're new to Mac and/or iPhoto. For more on this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
In the case of Aperture there are less pitfalls running a Referenced Library. You can also run Managed Library with it.
In any case, with either app, if you go the Managed route then the idea is to trash your own filing system. It becomes pointless.
More importantly, if you use either iPhoto or Aperture then you never access the files in those folders anyway. Anything and everything you want or need to do via your Photos is done via the Manger - i.e. iPhoto or Aperture. These apps quite replace the Finder for the task.

Question about syncing photos

If I sync the photos between windows xp and iPod, will it delete whatever music I no longer having in my library in iTunes?? Or will it just delete whatever pictures on the iPod that I no longer have??

I'm still unclear exactly how you're syncing or from what app you're syncing them from. You should be able to sync as many different "albums" (folders) as you want.

Another question about merging photos

I am trying to take a person from one photo and p
lace her in another, The hair selection is what is getting me. She has blond hair and is on a solid background, Is there a way I can remove the background and nmake her hair selection look better. I am new to this so, if anyone knows how to do this, could tou please post instructions. I have Photoshop elements 9.

Try using the magic selector to select the solid background rather than the subject.
Then on the top menu click Select >>Inverse
That will automatically select the subject. Then press Ctrl+J to put the subject on it’s own transparent layer.
You can then drag in the photo you want to use and place it below the transparent layer.
Use the move tool to position it.

Question about texting photos

Go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field and make sure it's set to Off.

Question about Tagging Photos

I know that you can Tag photos INSIDE iphoto, but is there a way (program or method or function) that allows you to tag photos OUTSIDE of iphoto (for example, if the photo is on my computer in some random folder) and then later on import into iPhoto and have the tags be recognized by iphoto?
I would appreciate any advice or help.
Thanks.

What kind of Tag are you speaking of?
Any tag that is in the correct EXIF or IPTC field will import to iPhoto - not all fields can be accessed in iPhoto

Basic question about emailing photos

When I email photos, sometimes I need to email them to myself. For some reason the iPhone automatically put's my email address on the CC and From areas. Is there a way to take myself off the CC and just have it on the From area?
Thanks

When you want to email the photo to yourself, you want to place your email address in the Bcc: field so your email address doesn't appear in the message header except in the From: field?
If so, the iPhone includes an Always Bcc Myself option.
If you are using this, your email address is placed in the Cc: field instead of the Bcc: field?

Dumb question about I-photo sharing.

Hi all. I am wondering how I can upload photos in I-photo to facebook or other forums I am using.
when I go to the upload photos area of the site, then search for my photos on the computer, the I-photo library is greyed out, not letting me select anything from there. So what I have been doing is opening I-photo, then copying the pictures I am after, pasting them to another folder, such as "pictures", and then uploading them to whatever website i am posting to.
I imagine there is an easier way, but I have yet to figure this out.
Thanks.

Photography question about iPad photos

I am a professional photographer and got the iPad in order to show photos to clients. I was wondering if there was a way to display my photo number instead of the way the iPad numbers them 1,2,3....etc. I need my photo numbers in order to place my orders. Please help!

I think the iPad sorts photos by shooting date (if EXIF data is in the file) and if not by file creation date.
I think it's a good idea to suggest to Apple (via feedback) that they add a simple sort features in their photos app. Just like you can rearrange the icons on the main screen.

Questions about photos and resizing

Hello I have a simple question about resizing photos. When I grab one of the corners of a photo it will resize everything instead of just changing it horizontally or veritcally. Anyone know of a way to fix this??
thanks

In the Metrics inspector window, uncheck the box next to "Constrain proportions".
However, resizing in just one direction or not uniformly will distort the image.

Questions about Photo Files

I am new to Mac and have a couple of questions about storing photo files just so I'm clear on everything I'm doing (or should be doing).
I have copied my files over from an external hard drive to the Pictures folder on the Mac which seems pretty much how they were stored in Windows. I have always used Photoshop to edit my photos and will be doing the same on the Mac plus I am going to start using Aperture.
I thought I would check out iPhoto today and if I understand correctly it imported (copied) all the photos in my files over to it so now there are two copies of all my photos and double the space taken up on the hard drive. Can someone confirm this is true and if probably not the best way to store my photos since I will be using Photoshop?
My second question, is there a way to have thumbnails of the photos in folders with out opening the folders?
Any and all advice on photo files, storage, ect. is welcome!
Thanks in advance

Hi
That's correct - when iPhoto imports your images, it stores them in its library (Pictures/iPhoto/iPhoto Library, which appears to the Finder as a single file, but which is actually a package containing files and folders). It doesn't delete the original version.
Both Aperture and Adobe Bridge (which is bundled with Photoshop) will themselves have the ability to manage your images, so you'll probably want to decide which application you prefer for image organisation and stick with one or the other. Aperture and iPhoto will also work together, so you can actually choose to store your masters in iPhoto if you prefer its image management.
Both Aperture and Bridge have "thumbnail view" of an image library, or you can do a quick and dirty preview by opening the image folder in the Finder and switching to icon view (and using the View Options menu - cmd-J - to increase the icon size if necessary).

Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid. How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac? I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end. It asks questions about contact, etc.

Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid. Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those? That just sort of freaks me out.

For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.
Cheers,
