Resizing w/ iPhoto
I have been trying to resize uploaded photos with iPhoto. However, I am unable to see any resizing buttons or functions. How do you normally resize your pics using iPhoto?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The entire philoposphy of iPhoto is to leave your original pic untouched. SO if you want to resize a pic, for say, uploading to the internet, you do this on export: Select the pic and go File -> Export. In the resulting dialogue you have the opportunity to rename and resize the pic, and iPhoto will create a copy of the file on the desktop, incorporating your changes.

Does it make any sense to anyone that Preview has a resizing tool but iPhoto does not?
Preview/Tools/Adjust Size vs. iPhoto/File/Export/File Export/Size
There are posts and discussions all over the internet about how to resize in iPhoto. The Export thing is not intuitive and not easy to figure out.
Is Apple considering adding the Preview resize tool to iPhoto?Finding out how to resize in iPhoto is not intuitive.
I don't think that even the most ardent fan would say that everything is more intuitive for everybody.
Resize should be an editing tool along side red-eye fix, etc.
Well no it shouldn't be. For a start your terminology is very imprecise. What do you mean by “resize”? Do you mean change the dimensions - length by breadth? The compression? Even the dpi?
Remember iPhoto is for managing and viewing your Photos. For these activities the dimensions, compression and dpi are all meaningless concepts. When you go to use the shot in another application, or to print it - that is, outside of iPhoto these concepts come in to play. Other than that you're just wasting disk space with multiple sizes of the same photo.

forget what I may do with it at some future date. Will iPhoto resize or not? If so how? I keep running into advice re: using some other program to do so. simply highlight a pic, get info, resize it intact from 2560x1920 to 640x480 I have attempted various ways but end up with a corner of the pic showing a curtain or some such and the overall pic isn't. will it or won't it? not for email, not for web, simply resize it, that's all.
thanksiPhoto will resize upon export. Go to File > Export > File Export, and a dialog box will allow you to choose a dimension to resize (iPhoto will constrain proportions). Export to your desktop, and if you want the resized version back in iPhoto you will have to re-Import, perhaps adding to the file name so you know it has been resized (and giving the new one a different name from the original. When you resize this way it may take trial and error to find how the pixel size relates to the size in Mb so you get the file size that you want.

Where is the Basic photo resize in iPhoto feature
Recently, I found a feature that let me resize photos in Iphoto to various preset sizes and easially export them to my desktop or wherever. The sizes were real baisc, 2 x3 4 x 6 8 x 10 etc but using the custom feature I could resize them perfectly for web photo requirements on Fiverr.
It seemed the setting was on the right margin in Iphoto to resize the images and I did about 8 of them. ...Now I cannot find that feature-
Can anyone help me locate it in Iphoto?
Many thanks-In the Edit mode is the option to crop the photos to the various size ratios:

I am trying to export a picture from iPhoto to my desktop changing it to a PNG and size 853x480 for use in Final Cut Express.
The photo is 3888x2592. In the custom resize area of the export I put in the custom dimensions, but the resulting photo on the desktop is 853x569. What am I doing wrong?Am I right in thinking that after the export to desktop or a folder, you would then have to go back into iPhoto and revert the cropped photo's back to original.
If you do not want it cropped
Also I guess they would have to be cropped and exported one at a time.
Yes
I may have to do this resizing in Photoshop instead. I guess you would just export the photos to a folder on desktop and then import into Adobe do the resize and save back to a folder - all of this done outside of iPhoto.
Yes

Wrong picture reported in Iphoto after resizing
Hi,
I've just resized some picture using the Automator.
After quit/launch IPhoto, the size of the pictures didn't change...
I checked in the libray (i mean my physical files in my "Documents") and I confirm the size has been changed..
Does someone know how to get the right information directly in iPhoto ?
Thank for your answers and ideas.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
That's correct, because iPhoto is a database, and unless you made your changes via the database (that is, through the iPhoto Window) the application does not know about them.
There is no way to resize within iPhoto. The philosophy of the application is to leave the Original untouched, so resizing is done on export (using the File -> Export command.)
To get the changes you made reflected in iPhoto, you will need to export the pics to a folder on the desktop (where it will make a copy), then trash them in iPhoto (move them to the iPhoto trash, and empty it) then re-import them.
It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.

Sharing iPhoto library over network between two Macs
I would like to edit/create albums via sharing.
I can easily share photos between my two Macs via sharing, but I can't move photos between albums, can't create new albums, etc. (I would like to be able to use my laptop in our home network to modify the albums on the PowerMac in the basement.)
I don't want to move files from one computer to another; via sharing, I essentially want to be able to modify the host library's albums. I don't want to edit the photos as much as I want to move them. Is this possible?Hi there,
There are two ways that I have tried to share a Library. The first method was to delete the empty library on my laptop and start iPhoto. The application could not find the library and asked me where it was. I linked it to the library on the other computer over the network. This method works but can be very slow when editing or scrolling (especially when using AirPort). It is also safer to only have one iPhoto accessing one library at a time.
The other way that I have been able to relibaly access and edit an iPhoto library on another mac was by using Virtual Network Computing (VNC). Essentially it provides the user the ability to see and controll another computer on the network from their machine. It does work and is alot faster than the first method but the downsides are that the host computer cannot be used at the same time and VNC software does not resize the desktop when, for example, accessing a 20" screen from a 12" laptop. This means that you have to resize the iPhoto window to fit on the smaller screen.
For the host computer (server) I used Real VNC and for the network client I used Chicken of the VNC.
The software works well and is usefull to access emails on the computer in the office from the living room. I have to say that I have stopped using these methods as they both tend to hogg the network and other users in the family are stuck for long periods of time trying to load a web page.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Why is it when you mess around with the folder names & change them they dissapear from iphoto? I'd like to organize my iphoto library folders better then having to search multiple numbered folders but when I start renaming then it's no longer in iphoto.
Yes, that is what I am saying.
I can tell you though, if you upgrade to iPhoto 6 you will be happier.
In iPhoto 6, the name you give your rolls is also reflected in the Finder.
When I import dated folders of photos I make sure I give the folder a name like
"12/25/2006 Christmas" or 7/04/2006 Fireworks". So if I need to find a photo, it is there in the Finder under the Year with the same roll name.
You can rename your rolls now, though the new name for the rolls won't be reflected in the Finder until you install iPhoto 6 and upgrade your library.
I can also tell you that I keyword all my photos. In iPhoto preferences under keywords, I add the new keywords I need. After each import I keyword all my photos.
Using Spotlight to search for a keyword will give me all the photos with that keyword. I can then find the photo in the Finder by Control clicking on the photo in the search window and scrolling to "reveal in Finder"
There are lots of more little tricks so ask away if you need more info.
To get you started, here is some stuff I put together for iPhoto 5:
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database (the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder) and your hard drive ONLY after you empty iPhoto's trash. (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder. You can also drag a folder of photos into an empty space in the source column and a new roll and album will be created at the smae time for those images in the folder. The album will have the same name as the folder you dragged into the source column.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
--You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
--You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose
For iPhoto 5--"when double clicking on
photo" ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
For iPhoto 6 (from the Apple Help Menu)-Have you ever used PS as the external editor set up within iPhoto Prefs?
From the iPhoto Help menu;
"Choosing what happens when you click the Edit button
When you want to edit a photo, you can have the photo open in iPhoto's edit view, in a separate window, in full-screen view, or in another application.
To choose a preference:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
Click General at the top of the Preferences window.
Under Edit Photo, select one of the following options:
"In main window" opens the photo in the main viewing area.
"In separate window" opens the photo in a separate window.
"Using full screen" opens the photo in full-screen view.
"In application" opens the photo in another application you choose.
To open a photo in its own window when "Main window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
To open a photo in edit view when "Separate window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
Note: Any video clip you imported into iPhoto will always open in QuickTime Player when you double-click it."
And...
"Editing photos in another application
You can do many editing tasks in iPhoto, such as rotating and cropping a photo, changing a color photo to black and white, adjusting exposure and contrast, and reducing red-eye. If you want to make other changes to a photo, you can open it in another image-editing application, such as Adobe Photoshop.
To edit photos in another application:
Set your preferences to open photos in another application when you double-click them or click the Edit button. (See Related Topics below.)
Double-click the photo to open it in the application.
Edit the photo and save it using the same name and file format.
The changes you made to the photo will be visible when you return to iPhoto.
IMPORTANT: When you double-click a RAW-format photo, iPhoto creates a copy of the photo in JPEG format, which opens in the other application. To edit the photo in its original RAW format, drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the Finder, and then use the other application to open it. (If you previously used iPhoto to edit the RAW photo, select the photo and choose Photos > Revert to Original before dragging it to the Finder. This way, you can edit the photo using its RAW data in the other application.) If you want to import the photo back into iPhoto, you must first save it as a JPEG or TIFF file."
--Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
--Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
-The one option you will not find within iPhoto is to resize photos. iPhoto wants you to keep all full size images within iPhoto to give you the best size for printing or using for other applications. You can however go to Share>export (for iPhoto 5) or File>export (for iPhoto 6) and choose the naming scheme, input the dimensions and export to the desktop to use for uploading to a web space or emailing.
--to email a photo set up your email client in iPhoto Preferences. Once done, just select a photo/photos and hit the email icon in the toolbar.
If you use a web based email, then you need to export the photo to the desktop and upload it from there.

How to resize photos for web pages
Can photos be resized within iPhoto to be used on a web site? If not what is the best program to do this to keep good quality photos but have a fast reloading time.
I need to edit photos for print and then create a second version for the web.
You can resize photos as you export from iPhoto - use a custom size and set what you need and upload the exported photos
This is how you do that - you can not "resize" within iPhoto - you resize (and make another copy) when you export.
As to your saving photos form PS into the iPhoto library and wondering why it does not work - it is becaus you must NEVER make any changes of any sor tto the structure or content of the iPhoto library using any program other than iPhoto - saving a photo into the iPhoto libray is not supported and will not work - you set PS as the external editor and when you finish editing you save and iPhoto handles the new image

Explanation of how Iphoto works.
Can someone please explain to me how iPhoto works as far as organizing photos and duplicating/converting photos. I have a bunch of photos in my photo file, and I would like to keep them all in one place (via iPhoto), but when I have experimented with it, Ive knowticed that dragging photos into iphoto, doesnt move the file at all, it just duplicates it, and then hides the duplication?, it also changes the image into a smaller file and creates "thumbnails???" I'm so confused. Can someone tell me what im supposed to do.

IPad Air not resizing images properly
Just picked up and iPad Air this morning. It's acting strangely. When I try to set a photo for wallpaper, it's not sizing it properly. I have even tried resizing images in a photo program, but that doesn't help. Anyone?
Resizing in iPhoto did not work.
See the link below for the correctly sized iPad wallpapers.
It looks like the image is cut down from the too and bottom.

IPhoto 5.0.4-Bookcover, page design and file titles
I am putting together my first iPhoto book and am about ready to send it in. I have made all my pages in Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop Elements. They are all 10 x 8 inches and I want to publish a book with 50 pages-all with one photo per page.
Cover-We do not want to use the Caption area as our cover picture has our caption built into our 10 x 8 format. Do I need to resize my picture before I download to iPhoto or will my 10 x 8 be resized at iPhoto to fit when it is placed in its spot? I do not want any other captioning in a separate box.
Title Page-The Folio theme shows two text boxes available for the title Page. If what I want is set in the 10 x 8 size with all text we want in the "photo", do we need to do anything special for that or will our page work?
Page Design-After looking at all the themes we thought Folio would work for us. We do not want a problem with the inside edges bleeding too far into the binding and cutting off part of our text or photos. Have we left enough to compensate for that by using the margins that we have? Is Folio the Theme that will give us the iffect we want?
I was cautioned by a friend that I should be wary of using page titles that have dashes and slashes etc. in them as those symbols may cause issues with file recoginition. Advised to start using the underscore and not use spaces, etc...
Is this something I should fix before I send to iPhoto?
thank you for being there...I would like to be able to send this in by tomorrow morning.Chesley:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In regards to the Cover, even though you don't put any text into the Cover text box that area will just be blank on the cover. Your photo will not expand to cover the entire photo area.
The same holds true for the photo layout. The text boxes will be blank but the photos will not expand greater than the frame that's provided for the photo. Regarding size, it's recommended that the photos be in the 4:3 ratio for best fit into the frames provided on the pages. You can try the 8x10 and see if any gets cut off by the difference in size ratio.
Regarding text, if you're putting your text into the jpg files for inclusion they the use of special characters should not be an issue. It's only when you use them in the title boxes.
Before you order I suggest you go thru the order process but stop after the book has been assembled. Then follow these steps to find and copy the pdf file that iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. You can check the pdf file for placement, bleed, etc. On the large books that I ordered that pdf file had the layout marks included.
How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
3 - copy the following, “/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto” (for Panther the path is ‘/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto“), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.
Good luck. -

Aperture book for iPhoto user?
I've been running iPhoto for about 10 years, and the time has long been ripe for me to switch to Aperture. I'm currently running iPhoto 2009 on an OX 10.6 Mac Pro. I'd like to switch to Aperture on my Mac Pro, and given that I'm running 10.6 the latest version I can get looks like v3.2.
Can anyone recommend a good book for me to get up to speed in Aperture 3, given my iPhoto experience? I am a fairly advanced user, with a programming background.
John F
New York, NY
ps...
What I like in iPhoto 2009 that I want to keep:
Albums (with "folders" and "subfolders") scroll on the left-hand side. Below the albums list, in the same column, is the optional info box for the selected photo, with the rating, user comments, date taken, etc. To the right is the photo set for the selected album with resizable thumbnails. iPhoto 2011 inexplicably requires a WHOLE NEW COLUMN just to see comments, photo ranking, and other info for the selected photo which is a maddening waste of screen space.
What I want to get from Aperture:
Multiple home directories with a unified view: Right now, I have one giant 100Gb iPhoto directory with all of my photos in it. I'd like, instead, to have one directory per year, but have Aperture browse them all as if they were a single unit.
Portability of photo subsets: I'd then like the ability to copy just one of these directories to my laptop, and then be able work with that subdirectory in Aperture.In addition to Kirby's introduction to the fundamental features of Aperture, a few notes on the transit from iPhoto to Aperture.
I also have been a long time iPhoto user and really like the added freedom and flexibility that Aperture brings. But one thing was not so nice - there is no easy transition from iPhoto to Aperture 3.2.4 or earlier, if you want to import your iPhoto libraries as libraries and maintain a lossless workflow.
I'm currently running iPhoto 2009 on an OX 10.6 Mac Pro. I'd like to switch to Aperture on my Mac Pro, and given that I'm running 10.6 the latest version I can get looks like v3.2.
Your transit to Aperture would be much smoother, if you could take the plunge and upgrade to MacOS X 10.7.5 and migrate from iPhoto 9.3.x to Aperture 3.4 .
The big difference would be, that you could open any iPhoto Library in Aperture and vica versa and could profit from the representation of images and versions as pairs of original master files and virtual versions. In the iPhoto version you are now running, each edited image is stored twice or more. Each edited verssion will create an new copy of the image file in your iPhoto library. Aperture has always stored only the orginal master and a description of the list of adjustments to render the edited version from the original. You do not duplicate the amount of storage required, when you edit an image, like in the earlier versions of iPhoto? Have you ever been tempted to use iPhoto Diet? With Aperture you can forget such worries.
If you import your iPhoto '09 library to Aperture, there will be no help but to import each photo twice - the original and the edited version and it will be a waste of diskspace compared to the import in Aperture 3.4 and a lot of work to group these duplicates and to decide what to do about them - redo the edits in Aperture and discard the edited iPhoto version, or what?
So, if you can, do this from a Lion or Mt.Lion system, if you already have a large iPhoto Library.
Your wish list:
iPhoto 2011 inexplicably requires a WHOLE NEW COLUMN just to see comments, photo ranking, and other info for the selected photo which is a maddening waste of screen space.
In Aperture you have many ways to view the Metadata - hovering HUDs, tabs, overlays on the images; all is highly customizable.
Multiple home directories with a unified view: Right now, I have one giant 100Gb iPhoto directory with all of my photos in it. I'd like, instead, to have one directory per year, but have Aperture browse them all as if they were a single unit.
No way. If you want Aperture to browse your photo libraries as if they were a single unit, it has to be one library. But you have more advanced tools in Aperture to structure your Aperture library than in iPhoto, and Aperture supports huge, distributed Aperture libraries. It works well - my main Aperture library holds all photos I have ever taken plus some more. See Kirby's explanation above.
Portability of photo subsets: I'd then like the ability to copy just one of these directories to my laptop, and then be able work with that subdirectory in Aperture.
Kirby already explained that. It is easily done by exporting partial libraries and reimporting.
