Selecting Photo's for Photo Lab printing

I have a number of photo's that my family would like to take to the photo lab for professional printing.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of the best way this could be done in iPhoto (order prints is not supported in Australia).
I was thinking the best way is to have the family browse the album, when they came across a photo they liked they could rate it, then create a smart folder to find all the photos with that specific rating. Then, I could export the selection to DVD. Anyone got any better tips?

Eddie,
If you don't already have a photo lab that you regularly use - you might want to take a handful of sample photos to several labs and then compare the results. That way you can entrust your family photos to the BEST lab.
Some labs produce better prints than others. Some do their own 'post processing' (even if you tell them not to) that can affect the outcome of your prints. It's better to spend a few $$ geting samples printed at several labs, then to print your stack of family photos and get unsatisfactory results!
If you are talking about burning to a DVD and not a CD, then I'm assuming you have a HUGE amount of prints to make!

    we have one iPhone3gs w the lates ios6. have selected iCloud backup for photos but do not see any photos when I log on to iCloud. How can I get all my photos from the iPhone3GS to iCloud?

    You can't see inside a backup file on icloud, thus you can't view your photos at icloud.com.

  • Want to define the photo dimension for photo upload

    Hi,
    I want to define the photo dimensions for photo upload in attachments on external candidate profile page in e-recruitment module. However, i have checked in SPRO in attachment node but not able to explore this functionality.
    Kindly help.

    Unfortunately, you cannot check the dimensions of attached documents with this BAdI, but it can be used as a starting point for your further verification.
    Please refer to topic Get image dimension width height to retreive the dimensions of a JPEG file

  • Displaying Photo Titles for Photos Moved From iPhoto

    I have added comments in the 'titles' area of a number of photos. When I import the photos to iMovie, the photo titles are lost.
    Is there a way to maintain the photo titles, when photos are imported from iPhoto to iMovie.
    Thanks

    I found the solution, but adding titles in iMovie, rather than bringing the titles from iPhoto.

  • ICloud photos library for Photos app Yosemite sync issues

    Strangely, after enabling iCloud photos library on Photos app. It does sync all the lowres image into Photos app but the downloading of hires is always stuck.
    Even if I leave it to sync overnight and it just stay the same until the next morning.
    Anyone has facing the same issues?
    Thanks.

    After two weeks I'm on my 6th attempt (6th from-scratch library) just trying to get the download and sync features to work. As of this morning the sync appears to be working but the fact that after 12 hours of "downloading" my library of 53,000 images is only 9 gigabytes, I'd say, yes, my high-resolution images are not coming down either. I have definitely set to download originals to my Mac.

  • Using Photo Browser For Photo's Not I iPhoto??

    Is Photo Browser in Mail connected to only Apple programs (iPhoto) or can I use it to browse a folder of my choosing?
    Thanks

    hunter,
    I'm not sure what you are driving at in your last post. If you are thinking of a "browser" (like the Photo Browser) that looks at everything in the file system (like a Finder window or dialogue, and opposed to just scanning for images), then we already have that. This is, essentially, what we get by clicking the "Attach" button.
    However, that's not the only way to attach documents/files to an email. We can simply drag anything we want to attach into the Mail composition window, directly from the Finder. Mail has long been completely "drag and drop" in this regard.
    What we have now, new to Mail, is support for what has become "traditional" iLife media browsing. Consider that the iLife components all interoperate with each other's libraries, all being able to show just what the other one does. Mail is now "joining the club," and can see what is stored in the iLife libraries just as they appear in the pertinent iLife applications. In effect, it can now "think" like iPhoto.
    What I am looking to see is the addition of support for the other iLife components in Mail. I have no doubt that this would appear as tabs to the current Photo Browser, just like in iMovie, allowing one to look at "Photos" (from iPhoto), "Music" (from iTunes), and "Movies" (from iMovie).
    Best of all, the same functionality is being built into the Finder. Just a couple days before Leopard was released, I listened to a complaint by a friend about the fact that one cannot open an image in iPhoto in an application like Photoshop, not directly from the "Open..." dialogue in Photoshop. My response to him was that he could open iPhoto, set his preferences there to open double-clicked images in Photoshop, then manage things that way.
    Only the next day, I found out that Leopard was incorporating the "Media Browser" functionality into the Finder. This is exactly what my friend was looking for! He'll have to upgrade to Leopard, of course

  • How do i put a photo file folder on my desktop so that I may use it for an outside lab to print glclee? to upload photos to a photo lab

    how do i put a photo file folder on my desktop so that I may upload photos to an outside lab to print glclee? I have already selected the 20 photos to print but I keep getting the whole file and need to reselect from the 8,000. photos. There must be an easier way!

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Why do I not have access to all the features of my Canon MG5320 printer in all applications which use a printer? The printer has two paper paths. The rear path is used for photo paper and other specialty papers. this is only one "unavailable".

    I have an iMac late 2012 with OSX 10.8.
    The MG5320 has two paper feed paths; one at the rear for photo paper, brochure paper, and other specialty papers and a tray for regular 8½x11 paper. It also can print on CDs and DVDs and has an automatic duplexer. Canon provides a utility for printing on the CDs and DVDs and also for printing photos and other specialty items. This is available in Mac format also. I installed the most recent drivers and utilities.
    I also have a HP IBM Compatible computer on which the above printer as well as an Epson are installed. Every option of each printer is available in every software application that has need for a printer.
    The Mac printer dialog varies from one application to another. The only applications that list the option for selecting paper quality which includes photo paper are Office for Mac, Pages, and Numbers. Not likely that I would be using any of these for photo printing. Auto duplexing, however, is not available here or in any other applications.
    The print dialog in Aperture, Photoshop Elements for Mac, ACDSee for Mac, or iPhoto provide the choice of numerous sizes of paper but no option for paper quality. Therefore, I attempted to use the print utility supplied by Canon and updated by Apple for printing some photos. The photos are selected in this utility. When the print command was given I was shown a message that the printer was being reset. It then began printing a spreadsheet, which was not even open, from the front tray on regular paper in fast draft quality.
    It is essential that the rear feed be available for printing photos. The printer will not accept photo paper from the front tray. The greater proportion of my printing is photos or other specialty items all of which use paper that must be fed from the rear feed.
    An acquaintence who considers himself to be somewhat of a Mac expert insists that the printer options that I require are available and all I need to do is look for them. The print dialog should be clear enough that "looking for options" is not a necessity. Even so, I have dilligently searched every variation of the Mac print dialog on my iMac and only the office type applications named above included anything other than the basic printer functions.
    I have also searched numerous locations online without finding a solution. I did, however, find that printing and printing problems seem to be common with several versions of the Mac OS and Mac computers in general.
    I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a solution. I have no desire to upgrade my Windows OS to Windows 8 which is perhaps suitable for "smart" phones but not desktop computers. However, because of the printing issue I have temporarily put my iMac aside and reverted to using my PC with Windows Vista.
    Help!!

  • I have edited photos in i-photo and would like to have them printed.  How do i burn them to disc in a format that a windows PC system can read.  I am in India and this is definitely "microsoft" country!  thanks for taking the time to guide me.

    I have edited photos in i-photo and would like to have them printed at any photo development lab.  I am in India and this is definitely "microsoft" country !
    Please advise me how to burn these edited photos to a disc to take to the nearest printing store in a format that "windows" system can understand.
    Thanks in advance.  I look forward to learning about this. 

    Select the pics in the viPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to disk with the Finder's burn command. Result. A disk with a folder of images that any machine can understand.

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen. 

  • Printing Multiple Photos PSE6 for Mac

    I can not figure out how to print multiple photos (open files) to my HP 6240 Photosmart printer.  The printer has a 4x6 photo tray and I can get one photo at a time to print.
    I want to print several different photos that are open during one print session.  How do I select all the photos to print at once?
    I couldn't find an answer in searching the forums, Missing Manual for SPE6, or PSE Elements Book for Digital Photographers.  The Sharing tab doesn't have a print option.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the update about PSE 8.  I've been thinking about upgrading and I just might do that now.

  • I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page

    I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page, or possibly in some sort of booklet format. Thank you very much.

    You can make a Book and have a photo on one side and your text description on the other.

  • I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

    Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
    See:                  Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
    Uncheck the little square button with the "1".
