Show original image / show photo in library

In iTunes there is a command to "show song file" is this possible in iPhoto? Also, in 5.04 when I am browsing an album "duplicate" is greyed out. I need to go back top the library to duplicate the image. but in the library of 8000+ images the only way I can find the image is to search for it by name. When I use he name in the search window iPhoto again denies access to the "duplicate" function. That's why IO need a show phot in library command. or am I missing something. (Wouldn't be the first time.

Hi Russell,
I have all the commands on images in Albums (not Smart Albums). Meaning, I can control click on an image in an album and get all the options of cut,copy,duplicate, etc.
So there seems to be something else going on.
I do not get the duplicate option in the search results.
I do not get the duplicate option in Smart Albums.
There is no command in iPhoto to "show image file" for the library.

How to find original iPhoto Album photos in Library (by Album content)

I have run out of Macbook space (OSX 10.7.5) and want to put all my photos on an external hard drive and share them between MacBook and iMac (no cloud please). I want to do this by "Album" name because that's how they are organized. I don't get the "events" thing in iPhoto, nor am I interested in the "Faces" stuff. Just simple file access is all I want.
QUESTION 1: How can I find the original photos after exporting by album? I want to delete these permanently from the Library -- from my MAC.
QUESTION 2: Is there a smarter way to get these photos onto my external drive than using "export?" And, is there a way to re-size a batch of files as opposed to one by one? I made all my camera photos the largest size possible, one reason I've run out of disk space. But to individually re-size would be impossible.
Note: I'm in a mess with photos. Have 20K on MacBook and about 25K on my iMac. There are 8 different iPhoto Libraries on my iMac, created by me in an effort to organize but I didn't know what I was doing and they are a total mess. My goal is to get them all into this hard drive from both computers then start all over again. But they need to be by album. I'm not an "Event" person -- doesn't make sense to me, so I've put all my photos in albums. When I start over I may not use iPhoto. Thinking of going back to Windows actually.

Sorry I'm terrible at explaining and even using my macbook haha. Let me try again. I imported some photos that I wanted to group together into an album. I forgot to create the album before importing a new set of photos which then took the place of the previous ones in the "last import" album. Is there anywhere or any way I can easily find the selection of photos I forgot to put into an album together without having to select them one by one from the "all photos" section? These would be the only pictures in my Photos application that haven't been organized into an album yet if that helps; however, these photos were not taken on the same date.

Deleting original images in referenced library

Stupid question - but how do you delete original images in a referenced library? I have used the function "File>Delete original image and all versions" and I thought that this had permanently deleted some originals that I didn't want - but when I look in finder, they're still there on the hard drive, they just don't display any more in Aperture. I can't believe you have to go and find the original file in finder to delete it...? What have I missed?
Thanks!

OK, have worked out that when I empty the aperture trash I need to tick the little box that says 'move referenced files to system trash' or something like that...
So...next question: how do I get the files that I've failed to delete properly back into Aperture so I can delete them properly - given that I don't know what files they are...

Photos 1.0 not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary folder/file after update install

I installed the update that changed my iPhoto to Photos 1.0, and the new Photos program is not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder (not sure to call it file or folder since it is actually a folder with all my pics but it acts more like a file) after update install. The Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder shows to be 55 gb in size, and it shows to be loaded into the photos program, but there are maybe a few weeks of pictures showing instead of a few years. Lots of pictures in the 55 gb are not showing for some reason.

No - iPhotos has not replaced anything - it is new and an addition - iPhoto is still on your system in the applications folder and still works just fine
Outlook is not supported by Photos - not sure if the support must come form Apple or MS as Photos uses a different interface to external packages than iphoto did

I Just converted my iPhoto library to Photos. Now I can't find my RAW files. I need to have all the images in my old library show up in their RAW format.

I Just converted my iPhoto library to Photos. Now I can't find my RAW files. I need to have all the images in my old library show up in their RAW format.

Unfortunately no - Photos use extensions and the vendor (adobe) will have to implement the extension to allow external edits in PS or PSE
For now you must export the photo, edit and then import - not great but a work arond
And you can continue to use iPhoto until Photos meets your needs - launch it in your applications folder - if you need assistance on this see Why won't my iPhotos open?

My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

Details please
What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -- and -- http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html ---
I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.
This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

Show image quality as like original image after resize in as3.

Hi Guys,
I am working on a Action Script3 project and i am showing images after resizing. I am using Bitmap and BitmapData manipulation for this but not getting image quality as like original image. Please guide and help me with code that how can i do this.
Thanks & regards
Rangrajan

How are you resizing? Normally, you would draw the original bitmap data into the new bitmap data, using a matrix to resize. To smooth scale, you need to use the smoothing option of the draw method. Here's a little sample that takes a library image and scales it to 500x500, using smoothing:
var orig:BitmapData = new baseMap(); //library image
var res:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500,500);
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.scale(res.width / orig.width, res.height / orig.height);
res.draw(orig, m, null, null, null, true);
var c:Bitmap = new Bitmap(res);
addChild(c);
toggle the true to false in the draw, to see the difference...

Ordering Prints: Thumbnail shows original image and does not show edits. Will edits be printed?

When ordering a print, the thumbnail shows the original image without any iPhoto edits. Is this a bug? How can I make sure my prints will come out with edits?

The thumbnail should reflect any edits made unless they were made with a 3rd party editor incorrectly. How did you edit the photos? With iPhoto or a 3rd party editor?

HT4623 why cant i save phone image to photo album...its show save this image to your phone app?,,,,,but no image is save

why cant i save phone image to photo album...its show save this image to your phone app?,,,,,but no image is save

Hi FANMixco,
To be clear, you can see the image from your file system but cannot access it from code?
I'd like to know what could be my bug because I don't understand why I can access from the URL,
-> If you can access the image from URL, you should definitely download it and use it, I'm not quite understand your question now.
I'm not knowledgeable with chmod under Linux, let's say if we give it full accessibility, what will be the result?
Anyway if you can see the image from file system, that already means the upload is succeed, I think you may need get some suggestion from php side to see how can we save the image with a correct permission.
I will move the question to off topic, since the question is on the server side but not client side, which is out of the forum support scope, thanks for your understanding.

Lightroom 5 is not showing previous sucessfuly imported images and images are not identified as missing, there are no images shown in the library, how do I reconnect missing images?

lightroom 5 is not showing previous successfully imported images and images are not identified as missing, there are no images shown in the library, how do I reconnect missing images?

If the images are not identified as missing ... then you can't reconnect them
But I'm not really sure what is happening, as I don't understand your description of the problem, could you show us a screen capture? Or describe what appears on your screen in much more detail...

Missing image when using "show photo settings"

When I click any of my images in the timeline then select "show photo settings", the preview pane is completely black except for the "photo settings" adjustments.
It worked yesterday!?
Thanks,
Mark

It sounds like you've bumped into an iMovie bug that trashes the photo copy iMovie keeps inside the project. When you try to update the clip the source photo is missing, so the preview is black.

"Show Photo Settings" distorts image.

Load image into timeline.
Select "media"
Select "Show Photo Settings"
Image is immediately distorted
see example of distorted image here:
http://www.thecriticalcrab.net/postits/imov_distort.html
I've had this problem before when rendering an image.
Sometimes restarting iMovie helps.
But things seem to have gone worse.
Help appreciated.

Think I've seen this too - several Years ago.
General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
I have 829 GB specifically to address this limitation.
Delete iMovie pref file
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
Did this to no positive effect. same problem persists
Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
Did this. Still no fix.
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
Never use Garageband. so bypassed this for now.
Screen must be set to Million-colors
Check
Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
That would be unfortunate and somewhat difficult to locate, I think.
iMovie updated ?
I didn't know there was a 6.0.4. Looking for a download now.
QuickTime updated ?
Have QT 7.6.4 installed
Mac OS version ?
10.4.11
All that being said and done, I think I determined the problem.
i.e. IMAGE SIZE.
Typically, I downsize & export images from iPhoto to a separate file and drag them from that file to the Clips or Timeline. Recently, being lazy I was trying to import directly from iPhoto via iMovie's Media/Photo area.
I think iMovie just doesn't like large files, because when I followed my previous procedure, it seems to work without the corruption.
Experience of others would be interesting.
thanks again for your help

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:

No image when click on "show photo settings"

So...I've added all of my pics into an iMovie file, but for some reason, with this particular movie, I can't edit my photos once I click on "show photo settings". It's just a black screen but the cursor still runs across for the ken burns effect... any ideas why this would happen?

There's a bug in iMovie 6 which discards iMovie's copy of any photos you've imported to the project. When you empty the Trash the photos are discarded, so Updating a clip creates a black clip.
The solution is to re-import the photos, then don't empty the iMovie Trash.

Photo booth library broke my image links!

originally i had snow leopard when i started using omnifocus to work on a project. i often took pictures of concept drawings using photobooth and then linked them to the omnifocus document where they applied.
now that i've updated to lion, photo booth has tied all those images up into a library instead of the regular folder, which has broken all my links. i know i could just open the show the library package's contents and copy out the images, but we're talking abour relinking a few hundred images by hand. pain in the donkey.
anybody have any ideas how to fix this? i guess apple didn't think about that potential issue, huh?

I did not have the problem that you describe when upgrading my Macs, but here is what I would do if I did:
Quit all apps and restart Mac. Then open your Home Finder > Pictures folder, and double click on the Photo Booth Library item. Photo Booth should launch and automatically use the images in your Photo Booth Library. You can test that by quitting Photo Booth and re-launching the app to be sure it still connects to your proper library.
If the above does not work, I suggest you use OS X Recovery to reinstall OS X Mavericks. Launch Photo Booth to see if the problem is resolved.
If nothing suggested here works, perhaps you can get help from some of the topics in this search.
BTW, your posted OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) system info is out of date if you have applied the current Mavericks 10.9.2. version You can update your system info in seafaring's Products when you are logged into Apple Discussions.
