Re-saving photos in my library as a smaller size

is there anyway to select multiple photos and re-save them as a smaller size [some of my photos are 3-6mg and i don't need them to be that high of quality.]
any thoughts/ideas?

I used automator to convert all my photos to a smaller size and then re-imported these to a new iphoto album. took some time but results in smaller photo sizes.
Only thing is that the EXIF data seems to get reset, and so the new, smaller photos all seem to be created on the day you converted them, rather than the day they were taken.

How do i transfer Photos from iPhoto to Nano in smaller size? (Mac)

So i want to transfer some pics to my Nano but each picture is about 1 MB, so how can i compress then or make them smaller in size?
And i don't know if this matters but i have the latest version of iPhoto and the iPod Updater.
Thanks in advance!

Saved project imports to FCE with a smaller size

I am learning Livetype and I have created a nice text with a Wand type effect and a green nature background. When I save it and then import it into FCE as a clip, the clip plays ok but there are two problems:
1 - The whole clip looks much smaller than the once I created in Lifetype. The font is much smaller.
2 - The green nature background (the type of background I chose) does not import, so basically, I can see the fonts, the effects but with a black background.
Any idea what is going on. Thanks for the help
Estela

Hey there!!!!
I'm not sure about the size problem (trying viewing your project in full screen in FCE and see if that helps). But, I have had the background issue myself and its an easy fix...
1. Open live type project.
2. Drag background layer above the dividing line (a thick bar with three little dots on it)
This should fix your problem.
Good Luck,

All photos in icloud photo stream not saved in local mac library

Basically, I have a shared icloud photo stream that is 1003 pictures, if I select all of them and say show in library, it only highlights 992 pictures on my local drive. Is there any way I can reimport a photostream?

Hello asbreck,
You can use these steps to reimport photos from a Shared Photo Stream.
To save photos from shared photo streams you subscribe to:
Photos in shared photo streams are view-only. However, you can import the photos into your iPhoto library, apply edits, share the updated photos, and add them to your slideshows and books.
In the Source list, select Photo Stream.
Double-click the shared stream containing the photos you want to save.
Select the photos.
Import the photos into your library by dragging them to Events in the Source list.
iPhoto '11: Subscribe to shared photo streams
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11959
It's important to note that if some of these pictures are already in your library and you reimport them, you will have a duplicate of the picture. If you can isolate the 11 pictures that are not in your library, I recommend importing just those 11 photos.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

"Edited versions will be saved in the iPhoto library"

"When you edit these images in iPhoto, however, the edited versions will be saved in the iPhoto library, not your original files. Your original files remain untouched."
Is there any way for this not to happen? I love iPhoto for integration with other iLife apps, but managing folders may be a deal breaker for me. I tweak nearly every photo I have and I'm constantly running out of space on my hard drive. With iPhoto's hidden folders, makes managing photos horrendous.
I really, really wish iPhoto would adopt some of Picasa's user-friendly features.

iPhoto follows the mandate of good Digital Asset Management, always keeping a digital negative that is untouched and save for later use. All good DAM applications follow that mandate.
If you're running out of space you can get an external HD to run your full/primary library on and have a second, smaller library on the Macbook. It can contain the more recent or most needed photos. You can also use iPhoto Library Manager to easily switch between the two and copy events and/or albums between the two while keeping keywords, titles and descriptions intact.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>

How to import photos from iPhoto Library to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor?

I can't use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor to edit photos from iPhoto Library. If I choose File, Open, and then select 'iPhoto Library', error message is "could not complete your request because of a program error."

You can't do it that way. Any attempt to poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is very likely to damage the library and cause you to lose your photos, so PSE won't let you. You have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photos from iphoto, and save them without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the editor prefs>Saving Files>On First Save to let you do this). Then iphoto will remember your original and the last edited version.
Be sure to choose this file in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 10>Support files as your external editor, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in Applications:
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the PSE editor to open the images and then save them with whatever changes to name or format you like, and reimport the saved images to iphoto as new files. This way you can save as many versions as you like.

IPod Touch 2.0 bug saving photos from e-mails

Hi all
Has anyone else had problems saving photo attachments in e-mails on the Touch with 2.0 software. I received an e-mail with 5 jpeg photo attachments. Opened them up to view them, decided to save them.
When I selected "Save 5 images" the Touch appeared to freeze for a bit (though it may have been converting the jpegs to thumbnail format I guess?) and then when I went to Photo to look at them, the app wouldn't open. It started, displayed a blank Event list and then bombed out back to the help screen...
Rebooting the Touch and saving them individually allowed me to save 4 of the 5 - but oddly the 5th image, although not in the event and viewable IS the image used to tag the event.
Quite odd.
Has anyone else been able to save photos reliably from e-mails into their photo library on their Touch 2.0?

Hi,
I had this multiple times. Two times I was able to fix this in "just" remove MobileMe and the Exchange account. But this time the problem continues to exist. I've worked around this in using IMAP for E-Mail and Exchange for Contacts/Appointments. However since we're using PostPath instead of "real" Exchange contacts won't sync anyway.
Since I don't want to restore my whole iPod once a day I will stay with the IMAP workaround and hope that this will be fixed in 2.0.1

Saved an image as library and now all in iphoto images disappeared

I was saving an image from email to iphoto, and somehow it was saved as my iphoto library. All of my photos are now gone, there were hundreds, and the one image I just saved is just there. Where are my photos??? Don't they get saved somewhere on my hard drive aside from being hosted iphoto. I have a MAC AIr and iPhoto '11.

Rename it back.

"SAVED" photo lost using ios5

After cropping a photo I clicked on the yellow "SAVE" button. It "SAVED" the photo but I cannot find the "saved" photo now using ios5 on a 4g.

Check iPhoto's preferences to make sure the library is a "managed" library:
You still have the photos on your camera, don't you?

PC Mac: How to move "saved photos" album?

I am moving my iTunes library from my PC onto my MBP and I need help on moving my ENTIRE iPod touch's content off its iTunes onto my Mac. I have done the songs/apps/podcasts via the "Share" option.
Anyways, I want to sync my iPod Touch w/ my MBP's iTunes asap and just need help so the pictures (from the "saved photos" section transfer over as is; I have over 6200 of them, ahem.
Unless, of course, the "saved photos" album stays the same even if you switch to another iTunes or would it get erased when synced to a new library? I HATE ITUNES FOR THIS VERY REASON. They need to come up w/ a more efficient to transfer iTunes-to-iTunes, the hassle is way too much.
I would love if anyone has better ideas on how to switch iPod touch content over from a PC iTunes to a Mac iTunes.

To move iTunes from Windows to Mac see here
http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/moveitunes_windowsmac.html
Photos on your Touch don't sync with iTunes but with photo programs such as iphoto or Photoshop elements. If you've never done this then photos saved on your iPod are only on your iPod. iTunes will backup your iPod, including your photos, when you sync with iTunes but you won't be able to browse them on your computer this way.
If you've moved over your entire iTunes library as mentioned above then you will be able to continue syncing and backing up your iPod with it as normal.

Unable to move, edit, or view larger versions of any of my saved photos!

As I was working on a photo slideshow in iMovie I realized none of the photos from my camera that I had saved in iPhoto were showing up in iMovie. Images I had copied from the internet into my iPhoto were working so I went to iPhoto to look at the pics from my camera and found that I could not open them, edit them, organize them, or drag them to the desktop. I can still see the thumbnails but all of the pictures I have had on iPhoto for years are suddenly not working. Thankfully I backed everything up a week ago, but any advice or help would be very appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What happens when you double click on the thumbnail of one of the misbehaving photos? What do you see? A blank window?
Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

Photo from iMessage saved to my camera role, how come the saved photo is not available to edit with iPhoto on my iPhone?

When I save a photo from iMessage to my camera role, how come the saved photo is not available to edit with iPhoto on my iPhone?

I tapped a photo in Messages to vie it full screen.
Tapped the Share icon and saved it to my camera roll.
Opened iPhoto for iOS and my image library updated. After the update I could see the image in my camera roll. I selected the amera roll, then tapped the image I had copied from Messages. I was able to edit the photo with no problem.
Did you follow this same procedure or ry to copy the little thumbnail photo from Messages?

Saved photos automatically deleted off iPod Touch

Hi,
I'm having trouble restoring my photos on my iPod Touch. Recently when saving pictures off Safari, my iPod told me to fix up something in my Photos folder. So when I went to my Photos folder, it said 'rebuilding library'. It always happens when I mass save many pictures at once but it never deletes anything off my iPod. But when since this happened, I can't save any new pictures especially high quality ones more like 1000x1000 in size. Also, it deleted 200+ pictures off my Saved Photos folder.
In addition, my iTunes says I have 2564 pictures on my iPod, when really I only have 2333. How can I get those deleted pictures back? I've synced it with my laptop but I can't get them back onto my iPod. Also, I'm worried that restoring my iPod will make matters worse.
Thank you~

After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
1. hold down the option key
2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
3. in Library, find Preferences
4. in Preferences, find com.apple.desktop.plist and drag it to the trash.
5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
     1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
     2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
     3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
5. restart
6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-

How do I access my Iphoto photos on a different Mac. I saved photos from My Macbook Pro and sold it. Now I want to access those pictures on my desktop Mac. Is this possible?

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro and sold it. Now I want to access those pictures from the Macbook Pro on my desktop Mac. Is this possible?

That would depend on where you saved the photos. I assume they are on an external drive or a cd(s) or DVD or USB drive. Hook whatever device they are on to the desktop Mac, open iPhoto and do an Import to Library from the File menu.
