Rotating and saving in iPhoto?

So I rotate and edit in iPhoto, and get it how I like it. I click done- however when I try to upload it to a website, it unrotates it and unsets the edits I've made. What is this? Is it me or the website? What can I do?

How are you accessing the photo to upload? If you access it correctly (in the open/attach window look in the lower left under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto) you will get the current version

Photos edited with Photoshop and saved to iPhoto don't show up in album?

When I edit photos in PSCS4, rename them, and save them to the original iPhoto album, they do not reappear. When I use the "finder", I can see that they are saved to the modified folder within iPhoto with their new filename. Is there a way to save them so that they will reappear in the original album?

FWIW:
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..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
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

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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Rotating and saving an image

Hi, i'm trying to rotate an image and then save the rotated image to the hard drive in jpeg format. I've managed to get the rotation part working, but i can't seem to save the image correctly.

Here is some code. You'll need to catch exceptions etc.
BufferedImage expImage = new BufferedImage( (int)component.getWidth(), (int)component.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB );
               Graphics g2d = expImage.getGraphics();
               draftGrid.update(g2d);
               layoutGrid.update(g2d);
               g2d.dispose();
                    fileName = verifyFileName(fileName, "jpeg");
                    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream( fileName );
                    JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out);
                    encoder.encode(expImage);
                    out.flush();
                    out.close();
                    expImage.flush();
/** This draft has been saved to fileName **/

Upside down pdf file. Rotated and save but still upsided. How to solve this problem?

I received a pdf file that is upside down. Rotated and saved. When I open the file, it is still upsided. How to solve this problem?

Hi,
I think you are rotating the PDFs from View and rotate. it would only change the current View of the PDF.
Kindly click on Tools on the right hand side > Pages > Rotate. then save the PDF.
Let me know if it helps.

I just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

i just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

Trash the copy of the library you just moved. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
But do you want to have two iPhoto Libraries? Why not just use the one on the External?

Can't see iPhoto pics that are edited in PS and saved back to iPhoto

Photos that are edited in Photoshop and saved back into iPhoto don't show up in the iPhoto window. Only the originals show up. When I do a search, I see that they are saved in a "modified" folder inside iPhoto. How can I see them in the iPhoto window? I would like to "trash" some of them. Can I just drag them to the trash from the "modified" folder or will that foul up the iPhoto database?

Arbitrary saving and organizing in iPhoto

Before I got the new iLife update my photos, when uploaded, would automatically be saved by iPhoto under Pictures>iPhoto Library> Year (eg. 2006)>Month (12)>Day (01).
Now, however, since installing the upgrade iPhoto automatically saves my pictures in either Modified or Originals and then organizes them by rolls (eg. Roll 138). This has made it much harder to find photos when I want to send them to somebody.
I have looked in Preferences and I can't find any option that lets you tell iPhoto how you want you pictures to be organized on the hard drive. I was fine with the old system and would like to just switch back to organizing by year, month, and day.

Artgirl137:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This has made it much harder to find photos when I want to send them to somebody.
All you need to do is select the photos in iPhoto that you want to email and click on the email button at the bottom. It will open Mail, insert the photos in the size you choose, and you're on your way.
iPhoto is designed so that the user doesn't have to go into the Finder to get photos for mailing or use by other applications. It can be done all within iPhoto.

Importing masters from iPhoto to Aperture 3 and saving as referenced files on external drive

I'm making the move from iPhoto to Aperture 3.I'm new to Aperture 3 and want o make sure I am importing and saving correctly. So far, I have imported my library of events from iphoto to Aperture 3. I understand that for the most part, it makes sense to house this library on an external drive as "referenced files" vs within Apeture as "managed files." I'm not clear on exactly how to accomplish this set-up. Is this something I should have set-up when doing the initial import or can I move the files now? Once this is done, when importing new files, how do I import to Aperture 3 but save on external drive?
Thanks in advance for your help!

A fabulous answer:
In the olden days ( ) when hobbyists made their own telescopes from kits, everyone wanted a six-inch lens, and the kit makers shipped six-inch lens blanks. Which the hobbyists used to learn lens grinding. Which is arduous and requires skill. Which the hobbyists didn't have until they'd ground that six-inch blank -- an expensive piece of high-quality material at the time -- into a lumpen flawed approximation of a good lens. Then the hobbyists would contact the kit makers and ask for another lens-blank, so they could build their telescope. At which point they would drop the project because the six-inch lens blank cost so much. And much calumny was rained on the kit manufacturers.
Now the kit manufacturers wanted to promote a hobby, and make, in addition to telescope kits, money (not calumny), so they together and separately hit upon the idea of supplying the hobbyist with _two_ lens blanks: a four-inch blank, and a six inch blank. Nobody wanted a four-inch telescope -- but that's not what the blank was for. The instructions read (I've shortened this part) "Grind the four-inch blank into the most perfect lens you can. Check it and re-check it. Now throw it out. You likely now have the skill to grind the six-inch blank into a useable lens."
Thus endeth our fable.
The point, of course, is: start small and gain skill before committing time and material to a task. Port just a small sub-set of you photos into Aperture. Experiment with it. Try different workflows. Think about how to best use the containers and organization tools Aperture provides. Develop a long-term naming convention for files and Projects. Work out a back-up strategy that is scalable and that you will stick with. My specific recommendation for beginners is: don't worry about Referenced v. Managed at first. Make all your Masters Managed. When you have your four-inch Aperture Library all smooth and even, put the entire thing in the system trash -- and then you can start working on an Aperture Library fit for your photos -- one that will allow you to see far, and clear, for years.
Good luck.

IPhoto has rotated and distorted a lot of my old photos

Something strange has happened to some of my older photos. The photos are in portrait orientation, like they're supposed to, but the image itself is rotated and stretched (as you can see in the image). After looking at the distorted image in full screen, the thumbnail is also distorted. Rebuilding the library didn't fix the problem. Is there a way to fix this?

First, try this:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
If this doesn't help give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
If all photos appear normal in this new library we know it's not damaged image files and that the problem lies with your existing library.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Hard drive crashed and is beyond transfer capabilities. Is there a way to recover photos I had saved in iPhoto?

I had several albums saved in iPhoto and even created a project and printed a project book through iPhoto but since my hard drive failed I have not found of a way to retrieve anything. The photos on iPhoto on the new hard drive only contain what I had on my iPhone after syncing. Really hoping to recover my photos. Please help!

Retrieve the iPhoto library from the backup copy of your original hard drive. Otherwise there's nothing you can do.

HT1338 I have a problem with the aspect ratio of photos as they appear on iPhoto. They are not correct. On the original photo people were fat and squat. I tried rotating and they became long and narrow. Neither correct.

Sounds more like a problem with your Display Resolution than iPhoto.
Go to: Apple / System Preferences / Displays and in the Resolutions list select,
1280 x 800 if you have a 13" MacBook Pro
1400 x 900 if you have a 15" MacBook Pro
1920 x 1200 if you have a 17" Macbook Pro

Resetting mac and saving Iphoto pictures

I ve got a huge doubt about saving my iphoto pictures so i can restore my macbook air to his factory settings without losing losing them
I dont know if I can save the Iphoto Library in my hard drive and then put it back after resetting it.
and with iphoto library I mean this icon (excuse my ignorance, I m horrible with technology)

I would certainly not restore a system to change the things you indicate. You might cause yourself some serious problems.
I would reset the SMC (system management controller) to see if things change.
My log-in screen is gray...shade unknown. I rarely use the camera on my MacBook Pro.
I would post a separate question about your camera issue to see if someone can address that issue.

From iPhoto. I simply took a PDF and saved it to iPhoto as a photo and then sent it as an embedded "photo" that was my document. Since changing to Lion, I cannot do it this way. Help!

I used to send embedded documents rather than as an attachmentfrom iPhoto. I simply took a PDF and saved it to iPhoto as a photo and then sent it as an embedded "photo" that was my document. Since changing to Lion, I cannot do it this way. Help!

I found the solution on another post by user rbii:
You can add this using Automator:
- Run automator, select File->New, chose Print Plugin
- From the PDFs part of the library drag "Render PDF Pages as Images" to the workflow on the right, set resolution to 200.
- From the Photos part of the library drag "Import Files into iPhoto" to the workflow section.
- Save the workflow
That should get you back this feature."
Save the workflow as "Save PDF to iPhoto" and you'll get that option back on the list. Hope this helps!

I saved photo into iPhoto slideshow, but now I can't find it. I wanted to open it in iPhoto so I could edit the photo and make it lighter. How can I find the photos I saved into iPhoto slideshow?

I need advise about saving photos into iPhoto. When I chose to save a photo, I chose it to be saved into iPhoto slideshow because that's the only choice I had that mentioned iPhoto. Now I can't find the photo in iPhoto. What did I do wrong?

Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.
