Set Desktop Photo different than Iphoto version

When I choose a photo to "set desktop," it appears differently than the one in Iphoto. It is overly saturated.
I'm using a 22" external monitor when I see this, resolution set at 1680x1050, 60Hz, millions.
The picture looks good in emails and Preview. I would like to see my "real" photo on the desktop!
Any ideas?

Thank you. I tried what you suggested and didn't make any difference. However, when I got my new imac, I didn't migrate the contents of my macbook across immediately and started downloading games, etc onto the imac. I later migrated the contents across and my imac made a new account- my name with the number 1 after it. So I now have two accounts on the imac. I have just logged back into the original account to find a game (the two user accounts are driving me crazy!) and the original picture on the desktop looks great! So it is only fuzzy on the second (main) account. AAAaaaah!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Yosemite Mail Sets IMAP Flags differently than earlier Mail Versions

Since converting to Yosemite, our junk mail filtering system (a copy of Thunderbird running 24/7 on our Linux server) has not worked.   We get over 1,000 pieces of Spam per day and use this setup to screen the junk before reading on our iPhones.
After hours of debugging I discovered that when Yosemite Mail initially downloads a message from the IMAP server (we use HostGator), Yosemite Mail sets the IMAP Flags on the server to be NonJunk    $NotJunk    NotJunk
Yosemite Mail does this before any message is viewed.
This is very different than Mavericks and earlier versions of Mail. In those earlier versions, no IMAP server Flags were set when a message was downloaded. The same is for the current version of iOS on my iPhone; no IMAP server Flags are set.
The problem is that the three versions a "Not Junk" flag set by Yosemite Mail are confusing Thunderbird and probably other Mail clients.
Does anyone know a way to stop to Yosemite Mail from setting these flags?   I filled a bug report with Apple, but am not optimistic...

Back up all data before proceeding.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your administrator login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Setting Desktop Photo in Aperture

Can you select a photo in the Aperture library and set it as your Mac's desktop photo? This is a great feature in iPhoto that I use all the time. But now that I've migrated to Aperture, I'd like to do everything in it rather than toggling back and forth (and transferring photos back and forth). Thanks!

I just export it somewhere and then drag that picture to the well in system preferences.
I suspect you can't just do it from within Aperture... the system probably wants a JPEG or TIFF file and not a RAW file, but I"m guessing here I admit.

Facebook Problems - Different than iPhoto

Hi, sorry for the long post!!!
First, I'm new to Aperture and was planning on moving from iPhoto. I was testing and have noticed a lot differences when enbabling Facebook inetgration that has now raised a number of questions & concerns.
First, with iPhoto - connecting to your facebook account sync's all existing albums but doesn't put those images in the library, whereas, when doing the same in Aperture, it does. The first problem is that if you decide to import the picture that Aperture synced from Facebook, it doesn't show up, if you have don't allow duplicates checked. The problem is the file is not the same size and further more, if you delete it from your library, it removes it from facebook and won't allow you to undelete (or put back) from the trash.
I guess the bottomline is Facebook integration is really different from iPhoto and unless you only have 1 copy of Aperture and start using Facebook only when you start with Aperture, it might all work right. In my case, I have multiple computers running Aperture and have already sync'd some photos with iPhoto and Facebook.
This is probably not easy to follow and maybe looking for any references on how the Facebook integration with Aperture is really designed to work and the workflow associated with it.
Thanks,
-chris

I was having the same problems. I think it is a problem with the way Facebook blocks applications.
I solved the problem by clicking on the iPhoto Uploader hyperlink in the uploader box, telling Facebook to Block the iPhoto Uploader application. I then went back to iPhoto and attempted to upload a photo. After the login screen all I got was a screen that said close. I did this, then went back to the iPhoto Uploader option in Facebook and told it to Allow the application. Then when I selected pictures in iPhoto and clicked on the Facebook button, I logged in as before and was presented with the option to publish the picture.
Now everything works .... my guess is that facebook was rejecting the request from iPhoto to publish, but fails to show an error message. The solution is to disallow then allow the iPhoto Application from Facebook (using the hyperlink in the iPhoto Uploader login box.)

Can I use Adobe Photoshop Element 11 to manage my photos rather than iPhoto?

What are the problems, if any, with by passing iPhoto and using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11?

Are you referring to actually managing the image files with the Adobe Elements 11 organizer as well as editing the photos or just use PSE 11 to edit the photos?
The latter is easy. The former would have you abandon iPhoto, move you photos out of it to folders and then manage the folders and their contents.
What exactly are you wantng to do: manage and edit or just edit.
By the way the file management capability of PSE is far less capable than the photo managementcapability of iPhoto which is a DAM (digital asset management) application.

Apple TV (2) photo slideshow display order different than iPhoto album being shown

Both ATV (2) and iPhoto (9.4.2) have latest software updates. I sort photos in Albums by date. But ATV displays the photos in a different order. Does ATV use some other intrinsic sort order for its display? Is there a way to make the ATV slideshow show the photos in an Album in the same order in which they appear in that Album in iPhoto on my iMac? Thanks.

I suspect that you will have to re-edit the metadata to accomplish your goal. As images are copied and moved this is often modified (place/geotag, faces, dates).......... Just a though. You can download the photos and both check it and if necessary change it in iPhoto

Library Module view of Photo different than Develop Module Version

I'm sooooo frustrated. I'v worked on a .NEF file using Topaz Lab's Adjust4, then Denoise then Photoshop CS5, each time it saves an new version of my file in Lightroom, I have about 6 of them.
Problem....when I scroll through pictures in develop, the pictures look perfect (noise reduction, excellent colors and contrast, the way I expect it to look after my adjustments), then about 1-2 seconds later it changes to a noisy, less contrasty and less colorful version).
If I switch to Library mode the pictures looks good again. If I export, though, it exports the Develop module version that doesn't look good. The whole thing is very hit and miss, sometimes Library looks good, then other times it looks like Develop. If I zoom to 1:1, then both version look bad permanently.
I just want to export and use the Library version of the file. Also, I cannot recreate the look using any combination of Lightroom adjustment, which strongly suggests that the Library version I am viewing is the result of my Plug-in and Photoshop work.
I've read that the initial view may be the JPG version of the shot, but I don't think so, it looks way better than the other JPG's that came out of the camera at the same event.
Help

Its possible the thumbnail is viewing the edited version that was created via the camera. Lets say you made a change in the camera such as sepia for example. When you first load the image into LR it will be displayed as sepia, but a few seconds later, it will remove those changes giving you the raw image.
In the develope module it ignores the camera changes and you must recreate the changes in the develop module. When you are done, its a good idea to save the file (ctrl-s on windows) which saves the changes to the sidecar file, should you need to see the changes in Bridge for example.

I just installed the latest iMovie 10.0.2. Please don't say "look at the help menu" - it doesn't help. This is radically different than the version I'd been using. For starters it automatically converts to mp4 rather than .mov - that's my 1st question

Sorry for the long headline - I'm new to the support community and thought that was the post! I've been happily using my old version of iMovie - I don't even know the number - I guess it was 11? I just installed the most recent 10.0.2 and it is radically different from what I've been using. For starters, whereas my uploaded video used to be in the lower section, and I would edit up above, now it's reversed. Whereas I used to click on the transitions and drag a blur or whatever to my movie right while I was editing, now it's on a different screen. And the easy old Export file button is gone, where you could choose setting, file size, export as Quicktime movie - all gone - now it converts to mp4 and I STILL can't figure out how to get it back to .mov
Please don't say "read the Help manual" - I tried - there's nothing there about any of this. And by the way, I'm not a techie - I taught myself what I needed to know about the old iMovie and am now lost so please no snarks. I would appreciate any help.

Select in browser your movie, click Export on toolbar, choose iTunes, QT etc. then choose size of your file in opening window. And then click Export in this window.

Iphoto library newer than iphoto version

I had to reinstall iphoto 08 and made sure i did a software update so as to be running the latest version however when i try to get it to use my iphoto library which i had backed up it says that the library you are using was created with a newer version of iphoto!!! Any suggestions????

rejpoot:
See if deleting the iPhoto preference file will let you get the library to open. It's named com.apple.iPhoto.plist and is located in the User/Library/Preferences folder. The file will be recreated when you next launch iPhoto. Iffy but might just work.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

Picture book different than iPhoto?

Hi,
I am a recent uupgrader from iPhoto to Aperature. I have been making books for years using the template "Picture Books" from iphoto. I can find the "Picture Book" selection in Aperature but it is not the same template that is in iPhoto where I can choose photos from 1 to 16 on a page in different arrangements.
Any advice?
Thanks
Brett

Try the "Modern Lines" theme, this will let you put up to 16 pictures on one page, Stockbook up to eight.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. If all fails, you can create a custom layout (Use the "Edit Layout" button), and add additional photos boxes to a page. You can save your custom layout.

Are there any apps for managing photos other than iphoto

I do not find iphoto to be a particularly intuitive or user friendly app to manage photos with. Are there any other options?

What is your complaint about iPhoto? What are you having problems with? Have you perused the tutorials on iPhoto:
Apple - iPhoto for Mac
Mac Apps - iPhoto - Apple Support
What features do you want in a photo management applications. There are many, many image management apps for Mac available:
Lightroom
Aperture
IMatch 5
Stock Keeper
Photo Explorer
Shoebox Express
Shoebox Pro
Picasa
JetPhoto Studio
myPhotos
photo 1.5.1
Photo Supreme
MediaDex
EzyPic Photo Organizer
Daminion
Photonator
iMatch
uAlbum
All have different features so you'll need to determine what's important to you and do some research. I don't think any are as easy to use as iPhoto, particularly with a Mac.

Creating a .pdf in photoshop cs4 different than earlier versions

Hi. In PS CS4.
I am trying to make a .pdf to send to a printer. I do not know if the printer as CS4. Eventually I will ask, but..
I made a pdf in Photoshop, basically using the High Quality print settings.
Normally, when I open a pdf in Photoshop that was made in Photoshop I am able to see the layers, adjustment layers..etc..
I tried opening this .pdf in Photoshop 7.0 & it had asked me to rasterize it with that dialog screen, although I did have Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities checked. I am not sure why it did that.
What do you do for people that have earlier versions?
Thank you.

not much you can do about it, the Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities only works when opening it in Photoshop CS2 or newer
