Saving to iPhoto

I've set up iphoto to open photos directly into elements 11 editor. After making changes, how can I save the images (orginal and modified) back into iphoto?

You must save, not Save As. You can't change either the name or the format. You may need to set the editor preferences>saving files>on first save to save over the existing file to make this work.

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?

Photostream Permanently Saved in iPhoto

I have a question about photostream. Is it true that ALL photos in my photo stream are permanently saved in iPhoto (even without me moving into events which i would probably do twice a month)? If the event i can't move photo's from the photostream in iphoto to events, are they ALWAYS saved on my mac drive even there there is a 1000/30 day limit in photostream?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming that iPhoto > preferences > PhotoStream > automatic import is checked then yes, photos from PhotoStream are automatically imported into monthly events and are saved even when PhotoStream deletes the photos due to numbers/time restrictions.

Iphoto 09: downloads, game screencaps saving in iphoto help to stop

I have a new mac book pro with iphoto 09 up to date.
I am so used to the older iphoto without "events" so it is taking me time to actually use it.
Today I started to go through some photos I uploaded weeks ago and discovered somehow throughout the photos there are random photos, some seem to be screencaps I'd say of pages we have visited, some are photos of downloads whether they are photos or scans etc and some are off the desktop of different pdfs etc and some were photos taken with photobooth. These were in different 'events' named desktop, downloads etc. Then there were also photos of different text font types etc all the way through and little pictures of things like the Skype 'S'.
I have no idea how they got there or how to turn it off! I am not the only one using this computer but none of us know how this happened.
Googling didn't seem to bring the usual quick answer.
Just want to stop it so that not all things sitting on desktop etc end up saved in iphoto.
Thanks

For some reason this seems to happen on the initial import sometimes
If you have not added a bunch of new photos to iphoto just quit, drag the iPhoto library to the desktop and launch iPhoto creating a new library and import your photos again - if that all works this time then trash the iPhoto library on the desktop

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.

How do I delete photos off of my 5s but ensure they are saved in iPhoto?

How do I delete photos off of my iPhone, but ensure they are saved in iPhoto or on my hard drive.

You can import them to your computer via a cable as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
Alternatively, if you have been using Photo Stream, you can open iPhoto on your Mac, and on the menu named "iPhoto" click Preferences and then iCloud and put a check mark in front of "Automatic Import" to automatically import photos from My Photo Stream into regular iPhoto Events. You can also open iPhoto and click on iCloud in the left hand pane and manually move photos into Events.

How can I transfer photos saved in iPhoto format to a pc?

I got a CD with photos that were saved in iPhoto format. I have a PC and want to change the iPhoto format into something my PC can read and then copy the photos onto another CD in .bmp or some other format. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

There's no such thing as an "iPhoto format". iPhoto stores the pics in whatever format your camera took them - in most cases that will be bog standard jpegs. These can be viewed on any system.

How to reduce size of pics saved in iPhoto?

How do i reduce the size of a pic that is already saved in iphoto?

You can't. iPhoto is specifically designed to protect your original photo. You cannot change it in any way.
If you want a reduced size for use somewhere else - to upload to a website or similar - then you can reduce the size on Export, using the File -> Export command.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

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.

Do photos saved on iPhoto use up computer memory?

Do the photos I have saved in iPhoto and MyPhotoStream use up the memory on my macbook or are they all just saved online? I'm wondering because I want to delete photos on my other iOS devices after syncing all of them onto just my macbook. But I won't do this if placing all my photos on my macbook will use up computer memory.

A few things
1 - terms - memory and disk storage are different things - no photos take up memory - sme take up disk storage - and you must always have a min of 10GB of free disk storage for the system to operate well
2- All photos saved in iPhoto use disk space - BUT MyPhotoStream photos are not saved in iPhoto unless you choose to do so - that is set in the iPhoto preferences - if you do not want to save photos on your Mac then turn of the preference to automatically import them - it you wan them saved on your Mac turn that option on and they will be imported and take disk space
3 - if you do not import the photos into iPhoto (which uses disk space) then when you delete them from any IOS device they will be gone form all devices

PS Elements saving to iPhoto problem

Help! I am using Photoshop Elements 9 with iPhoto 11 on a Mac (Mountain Lion). My original problem was that any edits I made in PSE elements (using PSE as the edit program for iPhoto) were not reflected in iPhoto. However, after bad instructions from an Apple tech about this problem, I now have an even bigger problem, which I will address here.
I cannot save any edited file from PSE back to its original location in the iPhotos library. The Save location is the last place I visited in the finder. In the past, the file would automatically be saved in the correct location. (Of course recently the edits would not show up in iPhoto, but this is another problem.)
In the past, I could open iPhoto, edit a photo in PSE, save the file, and the edited file would appear like magic in iPhoto. No more.
For what it is worth, the Apple tech had me empty all caches on the computer. For my part, I also reinstalled PSE, but nothing works. For the record, I write over the original file and save as a jpeg.
Help!

I had two problems. First, the edts made in PSE would not show up in iPhoto, even though the paths to the files were correct. Then, the paths to the original file were lost and photos were saved into the Pictures folder.
But there is now good news -- I solved the problem. The problem is Default Folder X 5.5b10 (14688). I turned it off, and suddenly everything worked. The photos update and the saves go to the correct locations.
It finally dawned on me that I had updated the software. I tried turning off Default Folder X, and all was right with the world.
Thank you to everyone for your help and suggestions. I truly appreciate your help and expertise.

External Editing Not Saving in iPhoto

I set my external editor to Photoshop Elements 9. I right click on my thumbnail and select "external editor" which creates a duplicate of the thumbnail and opens PE9 with the picture where I can perform the edit. After I edit I have tried a straight "save" and a "save to iPhoto library" but when I return to iPhoto 11 none of the edits I did in PE9 appear. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I understand I can edit in the external editor and it is supposed to show up with the edits in iPhoto 11. Furthermore, I have not idea where the edits I performed and saved in PE9 went to and how I can get them back.

This might be of some help:
Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 9 as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
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
Click to view full size
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 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
s 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:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE 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 iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.

Edited photos are not saved in Iphoto 09

I make my edits in iphoto 09 in my library photos imported from my iphone. I can perform the edits on the screen in small or full screen, either one, and then I click done. And it does not save the changes, it reverts back to the original which remains unedited in the photo event folder or library area. What is defective and how to fix? Just switched from PC to MAC. hmmmm.

TD- I discovered that changes such as red eye, or crop will save. The changes which do not save are the zooming in using the 1 key as described in the video tutorial of Iphone editing. If I do that, and then the area of interest is indeed enlarged, and a small sub screen shows up to allow me to move the focus area around even more to highlight what I want, then I click done and nothing is saved? This would be the most common use I would have for edits.
Many thanks

HT3427 faces are no longer saving in iPhoto 08 and even older ones saved are not showing up in the corkboard.

How can iPhoto 08 be corrected to save new faces and recognize ones previously saved. At present, my corkboard is blank even though there are thousands of pictures saved with faces
Help !

Try, if repairing your iPhoto Library will help. There may be a problem with the internal database files.
This post by Old Toad explains how to launch the Library First Aid Panel: See Rebuilding iPhoto Library 09 and Earlier, Fix 1
When you have launched the First Aid Panel, select the three options framed in red, to repair permissions and to rebuild the library, one after the other.

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?

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).

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.

Edits (especially contrast changes) not saving in iPhoto 08- any solutions?

A major hassle for me is the fact that (at least on my machines) changes to contrast while editing are not shown in the thumbnail or "browse" when completing the edit with "Done" or an arrow. Changes to exposure, temperature etc ARE saved and visible. If I go back into edit then the contrast changes are re-applied and everything looks good, until I leave edit.
I've re-installed iphoto (7.0.1 & 7.0.2), verified permissions, killed my preferences and nothing works.
Compared to the problems that others are having this might not seem to0 significant, but it really kills iPhoto's usefulness to me.

Mark:
