Should all edited photos be exported for safety?
Since all edits are contained inside the LR catalog, and not within the original file, what would happen if you wanted to switch post processing software to (for example) Aperture? I assume Aperture can't read a LR catalog, so all your edits would be lost? For this reason, is it prudent to export every edited photo?
Indeed it's as you feared, and using DNG doesn't change that.
But it's not as bad as it may seem at first, since once edited and exported you have all edits incorporated (i.e. no need to re-edit originals if already edited satisfactorily), so the issue only comes up if you want to re-edit an already-edited photo and change things like baseline detail settings or color profile.. (things that require the original/raw), in which case you'll have to start from scratch in new software, but you'll have the baked photo as a guide if you want it to be about the same as last time.. If you just want to add a little exposure or contrast, or remove a spec or something, that can be done to the rgb version of the file. I realize change management can become an issue (which is the real photo, and are there edits to rgb file which should be migrated to original when edited..), still...

Cant edit photos after exporting
Hello all. Relatively new to Lightroom here so Im not sure if this is a dumb question or not.
I imported about 220 photos and worked on just about 20 to 25 of them. I then selected those 25 from my collection and exported them to a folder on my PC so I could then import them into Picasa.
After doing that, I returned to Lightroom to edit more from that collection but could no longer do so. I couldnt make any changes to the ones I previously worked on, but more importantly, I couldnt make any changes to any of the ones I hadnt even touched yet. When you export photos from a folder, does Lightroom automatically prohibit you from changing anything else? It seems the only way I can bypass this problem is just to delete the folder and re-import the photos from my camera again, creating a new folder.
Am I missing something? How can I go back and edit photos after exporting? Can it be done?
Thanks!Hi Judy
On the bottom left of the left tool bar there are two buttons. Import and Export. I exported my photos using the Export button. When you do that, the screen that comes up prompts you to set up an export location on your C drive. So I exported the photos to a folder I set up.
I did not set up a catalogue or export any catalogue.
I seriously doubt that Picasa had any effect on the folders in Lightroom. The two software application are totally separate. You dont directly transfer photos from LR to Picasa. You need to export from LR first to a location on your PC then Import from that file on your PC into LR. So I dont see how Picasa could effect the photos that are in LR. -
How to export all edited photos in a project
Once I finish editing photos in a project I often wish to export all of those photos, in their fnal edited form, to a folder which I then burn to a CD and give to someone. I have been using File-Export-Versions thinking that this would do the trick. However, it seems that this process exports the photo without all of my nifty editing. I've looke at the manual, but must be too dense to find the answer. Thanks for any help you can give.
What you are doing should work.
Here is a recipe -- try it and report back.
Select the Project.
Clear all filters.
Filter using the Rule "Adjustments" with the setting "are applied".
Add other Rules as desired (e.g.: Rating is 4★ or better).
Select all Images.
"File→Export→Version", and choose an Export Preset that meets your needs.
Masters are the un-changed (and never changed by Aperture) original files that you imported. Versions are Images that you have made by changing these in some way. Exporting a Version should always include any Adjustments present in the Version.

TS1702 How to transfer all edited photos to camera roll on iPhoto?
Just finish editing over 100 photos and I need them on my pc to create a photobook. I can't find an option to save them all on the camera roll. The only option is pass then one by one.
If this is a flaw on the program would be nice to see an option to save all edited pictures on a new album or replace the originals saving the originals on another folder.
Thank you.Use a WiFi transfer app to send the synced photos back to a computer. I use Wireless Transfer App

Editing photos in album for book and freeze
Hi,
I have just upgraded to 5.0.4 and am using Panther 10.3.9 at the moment. I am trying to make a book with a library of 700 photos. I am first creating an album and editing it down to about 30 photos. Now I am editing the individual photos, crop, enhance, sharpen, etc.
I have had a crash during the saving photo. This was happening all the time (crashes, SPWOD, freeze) when I did a large book with 5.0.2 and had a 2000+ photo library. I thought I had addressed the problem by upgrading, using iphoto buddy, keeping the library small.
Do other people have no problem editing everything right in iPhoto, or should I do that in Photoshop and import the pics. I prefer to do it right in iPhoto, but not if it freezes all the time!
Thanks!First repair disk permissions with Disk Utility and then manually set the permissions on your iPhoto Library folder as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
One way to give it another go is to export those 30 photos to a folder on the desktop, create a new library and import them into it. Now you have a minimum sized library and can try to shake down the problem. I make a new library for each book I've created. Makes things smaller and faster. I use iPhoto Buddy to easily move between libraries.
It's my opinion that it's best to use Photoshop for your editing. That's also what I do. But I do it from within iPhoto by setting PS as my editor of choice in iPhoto's General preference window under "Double-click: Open photo in:"
The only caveat is doing it that way is if you must keep the file name and extension the same. If you create a layered file that necessitates an extension change to .psd then you must save to the desktop and import as a new file. Simple edits you save as usual.
Have you tried deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist? It may help fix the crashing problem. Another potential fix would be to rebuild the library, after making a backup copy of the iPhoto Library folder beforehand, selecting all option but the one regarding orphaned files.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

Pixilated Photos When Exported for Web
When I export from Aperture to a Web Gallery, my photos get pixelated. The originals in Aperture do not look like this, nor do the photos when viewed as a straight JPEG. I originally started with iPhoto to edit and organize, but have since moved my library over to Aperture. Are there issues with resizing photos? I typically do 5x7.
I've tried several different paths, with similar results:
* Using Aperture to publish from a gallery template
* Using iPhoto to export a photo album to iWeb which I publish to a folder
* Publishing from iWeb to .Mac web page
* Publishing from iWeb to a .Mac Web Gallery
A good example is the middle photo in the second row titled "Hot Bodies". The edges of the white lettering and graphics looks horrible in slideshow.
http://www.dennisvogel.com/photos/USGP2005.html
or this photo from gallery
http://gallery.mac.com/dennis.vogel#100003/USGP_061507-0037&bgcolor=black
I'm seeing similar results on Windows and Mac, using Firefox and Safari.
I'm getting a little desperate, as I've invested a lot of time organizing and editing my photos! <sigh> Assistance greatly appreciated.Check that the export preset you are using hasn't been changed from what you think it should be (in terms of x/y pixel size, PPI, JPEG quality setting, etc.)

With the new upgrade - Photos - I can't figure out how to rename my edited photos to export. The space is either grayed out or does not give me the option. I spent 30 minutes at the Apple store One-to-One and he couldn't figure it out either. With both my computer and his. He said he couldn't change the description or tag faces. Please tell me step by step how to do this. I cannot post my photos to my blog or Facebook or Pinterest. Thank you very much!
The space is either grayed out or does not give me the option.
Which preset are you using for the export? And which naming scheme do you want?
When you export an edited version as JPEG, you should see these choices:
If you use the option "Use Title", you can change the title before you export the the filename you want to use for the version.
With "Sequential" you can enter a prefix and Photos will add a number.
If all fails, export to a folder on your Desktop and rename the exported files manually. -
iPhone 5 was so intuitive before the update. Editing photos has changed for the worst-any word of a fix for editing photos for wallpaper? Not a work around, a fix. If I wanted this kind of photo editing I'd still be using my droid x.
Anyway to go back to ios6?Is Apple working on a fix for editing photos for wallpaper, call contacts with photo, etc?
How would we know?
What's broken that you think needs to be fixed?

I can only choose a photo from "recently added" to use for wallpaper not "all my photos"
I can't choose a photo from "all my photos" to use for wallpaper on my iphone , my only option is from "recently added"photos. ?
Wrong, am able to use old pictures as wall paper. Open your camera roll - photos - select the pic - hit the up arrow and then use as wall paper
I just test this from a picture I took in 2005. -
I want to order several photos. I have flagged them and there is no option to select all and order the prints. I don't want to create a new event with these photos, as I want them in their original event files.
How are multiple photos ordered/exported for printing?Go to your Flagged Photos Smrt Album on the Left.
Command - a will select All
Then File -> New -> Album

How do you save and email an edited photo in iPhoto 08?
I've been using 08 since the beginning with no problems. I want to mail an edited photo but when I try the process fails. A normal photo mails fine, but there is no "save as" option with non-destructive editing. Surely there is a work-around.
Is this for all edited photos or just that one? If it's for all try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.
If the problem dissappears with the new library then it's your old library that the problem. If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Disable facebook update when editing photos
hi,
Is there a way to disable automatic updates of photos which are part of a facebook album?
The thing is, when I edit photographs to be used for other purposes, I find it automatically updates the image contained in the FB album as well (well, the facebook album within iPhoto seems to only contain links to the actual images in iPhoto) . Whilst I can see that that would make sense occasionally, and it sometimes is quite nice to get friends' comments on year old photographs, by and large I find it rather annoying. Duplicating images would be an option, but then I'd quite like to keep duplicates to a minimum.
Is there a way to control the trigger-happy interaction between Fb and iPhoto a bit more?
tIn preferences you can set web syncing to manual
But when you sync all edited photos will be synced

IOS8: Option to keep edited photo please.
in IOS7, we can keep both the original photos and edited photos when using iPhoto's editing tool, but this is now disabled.. even if the edited effect are seen in the album, but when i try to cut out to store in hard disk as back up, only original files can be done. all edited photos with effect are not found. only photos edited out of iPhoto can be saved. this is very in-convenience to users who wish to keep all records (ya i know many complaints about take up memories).
May we have option to choose, and controlling this at our wish? since iPhoto provide options on other control such as sharing, auto uploading to iCloud, saving original out of HDR... etc, kindly please also let the users control whether to save all or any or none...?
Thank you.appreciate your reply
1. i do not see a trashcan iconwhen i open the photos.
2. the photos are NOT in the 'camera roll' they are in a folder called 'iPad photos' (which is in the 'albums' section of the iPad)
3. i have re-set the iPad numerous times in order to try and resolve this. each time it is the same - no trashcan.
4. i have no method of 'moving' the photos to another folder - only the option to 'add to' a 'new folder'. since thsi won't delete the original photos, there is little point in trying this.
5. i'm guessing your next suggestion will be to completely back up and re-set my iPad? is that really what i should be doing here? surely... surely.... please, this should be a simple - select>trashcan>delete process and not something i have to spend half my working day trying to resolve! seriously, seriosly, unimpressed with Apple over this issue. it's about time that Apple gave the power back to the user on devices like these. i can understand now why people jailbreak their iPads... there rant over - but please consider my feelings over this issue. -
When this happened the first time, I seriously thought it wouldn't come back on. I was trying to crop something out of the of a photo and it shut off like it was dying (it was fully charged) and then froze, turned white, then an apple logo appeared. Once it turned on i went back to do what i was doing and it did it again. The next time it turned on, I went to play Design this Home, and it didnt shut off..so my only reasoning is that this happens when i edit a photo...i haven't done anything abnormal with my iPod and don't understand why this is happening...please please help!
That is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1. The iPod "crashes" when editing photos. Just do not edit photos and wait for the next update. Most users have said it crashes when editing screen shots.
