Question: camera to computer to iphoto to photoshop to e-mail

Olympus E410 digital camera yields "orf" files which, it seems, I have to send to iPhoto (7.1.4) then to Photoshop so I can "save as" jpg and only then can I e-mail them. Even then the sent photos can't be saved at the recipient end. Help! Oh ya, iMac OS X 10.5.4
Is there a way to simplify all these conversions?
Kerry

Um, actually no.
When you import a RAW file to iPhoto the app automatically creates a jpeg of it as a preview. You can email that.

  • How do I open files from an old version of iPhoto in Photoshop Elements 10 without losing date taken, camera settings etc?

    I replaced my old iMac (Tiger) and saved the library from iPhoto. I installed all the old pictures in iPhoto on the new iMac (Mt..Lion).  I received  the new Photoshop Elements 10 for Christmas, installed it,  and imported the iPhoto ligrary into PSE Organizer.  All my pictures are now in iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 10 Organizer.  The file info is available in iPhoto but all PSE 10 shows is the file size and date the pictures were transferred in.  Even worse, when I try to open a picture from iPhoto library in PSE 10 Editor I get a message saying PSE 10 "does not recognize this type file".

    There are links to the right of your question. If they do not help you will have to ask in the iPhoto forum.

    Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

  • I have over 300 pictures on my phone...my question to someone iphone savvy is why, when I plug my phone into the computer is iPhoto showing no pictures?  I want to delete them for space issues.  Thanks

    I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
    If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it.

  • Why can't I open photos from Iphoto in Photoshop?

    I'm trying to open a picture I downloaded from my camera into iPhoto using Photoshop, but when I click the iphoto icon I get no pictures.

    This question would probably be better posted in the appropriate iPhoto forum.

  • IPhoto 9/Photoshop Elements compatibility

    I never used to have this problem when I had my old eMac. I can't open up photos from my iPhoto into Photoshop elements. At first I thought it was a Camera Raw compatibility problem, as Camara Raw isn't compatible with my current Nikon. However, even old photos taken on my old Canon will not open in Photoshop. I try to select and click on an image when in the "select" function and rather than anything being highlighted, the box scrolls back to the first image in my iPhoto images. It is getting very frustrating. I was able to drag and drop images to my desktop before, but now I can't even drag and drop anymore. I am not a huge tech person, but I do a lot of digital scrapbooking and not being able to simply open up the iPhoto image is now getting beyond frustrating. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am using Photoshop Elements 6.

    Try this basic fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
    Then re-select Elements as your External Editor and try again.

  • Please help me , my camera raw doesn't open on photoshop or bridge

    my camera raw doesn't open on photoshop cs6 or adobe bridge :S and i don't know what is the reason , when i try to open any of my raw photos i get this message
    so what should i do ? please any one help me here
    thanks

    You’ll need a connection to the internet, and probably have a registered version to do updates.  Sometimes it takes a few minutes for PSE to talk to the Adobe servers and see that you’re needing updates.  If you are connected to the internet, then perhaps your computer has a firewall or internet security that needs temporarily disabled.  So try some things like that.
    You can also try downloading and running the updaters for ACR 8. CS6 from this Adobe blog page:

  • When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

    When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

    If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow.  However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
    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.

  • Can anyone help with workflow problem between iPhoto and Photoshop CS4?

    I am very new to CS4 Extended, having upgraded from Elements 6 recently. I use iPhoto '08 to do all my photo organization and really enjoy it, have a LOT of work invested in it and don't really want to switch to anything else if I can help it. One aspect I like about it is that it tucks away my original in case I ever need to revert. With Elements, I could set my iPhoto preferences to allow all my editing to be done externally using Elements 6, but it would only allow 4 photos to be sent over to Elements at a time. Then I would have to go back to iPhoto and "get" more. I thought that when I upgraded to CS4, I would at least be allowed four at a time to be sent from iPhoto to Photoshop for editing. Whenever I do this, it sends only one, maybe two, but never four. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. I'm annoyed at having to constantly go back for one or two photos at a time to edit and wondered if anyone knew of a workaround for this problem. The reason I have done it this way all along is that the two programs would work together and update my iPhoto pics and thumbnails automatically. Since then, I have just opened the iPhoto files from within CS4, but the edit doesn't update the thumbnails, only the enlarged versions within iPhoto. Neither Apple nor Adobe has been able to offer any solutions. I am not looking to create multiple copies of my files. I download straight from my camera to iPhoto. I could always just download them to a folder, edit them in CS4 and then import them into iPhoto, but that would necessitate making a copy of the photos to keep the originals safe and I'm not sure I want to have to organize all my originals elsewhere on top of my iPhoto library. I am very open to suggestions!
    Thanks!

    I appreciate your response. I recently did a reinstall, hoping it might help. It didn't seem to make any difference. Don't know if I need to just switch to a different program like Lightroom or just do all my editing outside of iPhoto and then import the results, but that defeats the purpose of letting iPhoto handle my originals so easily. I really like iPhoto and what it does, and have spent a lot of time getting my library compiled just the way I like with keywords, ratings and so on, and I'm afraid that switching to a new product will lose a lot of that work and either cause me to split my library into two places or to create unnecessary duplicates.

  • Can I FTP large photos directly from iphoto or Photoshop Elements?

    I have been uploading large jpegs onto another server using ftp plug-in with Aperture. But it strips the photo info, captions etc from the file, which is crucial information for my clients. Does any one know why this is happening, If I could ftp directly from iphoto or Photoshop elements even, it would be easier for me as I don't find aperture useful for multiple batch changes in file names and captions.
    Currently I have been editing the file names and comments in iphoto, exporting 'version name' (other wise it exports the original file name) to a folder on the desktop and then importing these files into aperture where I use a plug in AperturetoFTPpro. I do have the export version box checked and not the 'master' box - By now i've lost track of which it thinks the 'master' or 'version' is!
    not sure what's causing the problem, iphoto or aperture.
    When i look at the metadata in aperture, I can't see the captions, but if i open the same file in photoshop and do 'apple i' the info is there.

    To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to FTP directly out of iPhoto that's built into iPhoto, but you can try asking in the iPhoto forum where if anyone knows how you'll be more likely to get a response. There is a third-party product called PhotoUpLink that the developer says works with iPhoto that you could try.
    The same applies to your Aperture question; try asking in the Aperture forum, though if you're using the demo plugin that comes in the Aperture Plug-In SDK, that's really not intended to be "production quality" but rather just an example of plugin development, so it may well lack capabilities or otherwise have issues. You might take a look at PhotoUpLink or Uberload for Aperture,
    Not using Photoshop Elements I can't say about that, but Adobe runs their own forums for that here where you could ask.
    Regards.

  • Copying iPhoto Albums From one iPhoto 6 to a Computer with iPhoto 2

    Hi, I'm way behind my parter, I have iphoto 2 and he has a new computer with iphoto 6. In the old days, even when he had a newer version of iphoto, I could copy his iphoto library wholesale onto my computer (via our wifi connection) and it would work with my iphoto. Not any more; now when I try that, I get the message that it's in compatible. (I bought my desktop in 2003; I'm going to buy the new version of OSX when it's released later this year.) The guy at the Apple store said it should be possible to copy individual photo albums from his iphot 6 onto my computer, instead of the whole library, and it should work. But I can't find on his hard drive anywhere any files that correspond to the albums. I can find the source file with the photos in them, from when he downloaded the photos from his camera, which are titled "Roll 366" etc., but they're not organized according to the albums he set up (which are edited and organized by topic and chronologically). Any ideas on how to do this?
    I did figure out how to export the albums to his desktop, but I'm not sure there is a way to link the file that is created that way to the iphotos on my computer. I may have to just settle for uploading them onto a web-based photo album...
    Any thoughts? Thanks...

    Jay
    A new folder structure was introduced with iPhoto 6 and earlier versions cannot read it.
    It is not possible to copy v6 albums to an v 2 because albums and slideshows etc. in v6 are virtual entities. That is, there is no corresponding folder in the iPhoto Library Folder, it's a listing in the iPhoto database.
    Pretty much the only way to do it is to export the pics from his v6 (File -> Export) to a folder on the desktop, and then import those into yours.

  • Need help with iPhoto '08-Photoshop CS3 Workflow

    I'm relatively new to both iPhoto and Photoshop. I have already imported over 3,500 high resolution jpegs into iPhoto from my camera. I've set up iPhoto so that Photoshop is my editing program. I've read that one wants to avoid saving additional jpeg files from original jpeg files. I want to retain my original file, create an optimized (edited) version (in TIFF or PSD format) that can be edited further later if I desire, and create a lower resolution image for web/powerpoint presentations. I want all of these files to retain assigned keywords for cataloging purposes.
    What I'm discovering is that iPhoto files opened in Photoshop and saved outside of iPhoto lose keyword information. I realize I can re-import these into Photoshop but I'd like to avoid having to reassign keywords. Is this possible?
    Does anyone have a suggested workflow to accomplish the above?

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop 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..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    Hi watson1943!
    Thanks for posting!
    The specific cable that came with your camera is currently unavailable on our website.  However, the cable is a standard type of cable that can be found almost anywhere.  As long as one end has the full size A-type connector and the other end has a mini B-type connector, it should work.  You may try any of your local electronics retailers to see if they have such a cable in stock.
