Sizing photo's for iPhoto via Photoshop

Hi all. Every time I upload my photo's from my Canon 5D I use Adobe Bridge (CS4) to view them and make adjustments in Camera Raw. No problem. Then I down size them in PS CS4 using "Save for Web and Devices" and put them into iPhoto. When I open them (in iPhoto) they are always blurry. I keep the original and they are crystal clear (in iPhoto). Why are the jpg's blurry in iPhoto and when I add them to my Mobile Me Gallery they're blurry. They are tack sharp when I downsize them and view them in PS. I can't use the .png files cuz they're so big.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Then I down size them in PS CS4 using "Save for Web and Devices" and put them into iPhoto.
Because you made them very small for web display - what pixel dimensions are they?
I can't use the .png files cuz they're so big
the .png files are the same size outside iPhoto as they are in iPhoto - why can't you use the .png files in iPhoto and delete them outside iPhoto?
What do you want to use the iPhoto photos for?

How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

Hello MWWWB,
Unlike iPhoto, Photoshop is only an editor. It does not store or organize images. In iPhoto preferences, you can choose Photoshop as an editor. You will then get a choice when you double click on an iPhoto thumbnail to use iPhoto or Photoshop to make edits. But Photoshop does not have a library to store images like iPhoto.
You may want to use Adobe Bridge or Lightroom to help name and organize your pictures. You can Export your iPhoto Library to a folder and manage the exported images there.
Personally, I hate the arcane manner iPhoto stores and organizes images. I use it only for photos from my iPhone.

Can I FTP large photos directly from iphoto or Photoshop Elements?

I have been uploading large jpegs onto another server using ftp plug-in with Aperture. But it strips the photo info, captions etc from the file, which is crucial information for my clients. Does any one know why this is happening, If I could ftp directly from iphoto or Photoshop elements even, it would be easier for me as I don't find aperture useful for multiple batch changes in file names and captions.
Currently I have been editing the file names and comments in iphoto, exporting 'version name' (other wise it exports the original file name) to a folder on the desktop and then importing these files into aperture where I use a plug in AperturetoFTPpro. I do have the export version box checked and not the 'master' box - By now i've lost track of which it thinks the 'master' or 'version' is!
not sure what's causing the problem, iphoto or aperture.
When i look at the metadata in aperture, I can't see the captions, but if i open the same file in photoshop and do 'apple i' the info is there.

To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to FTP directly out of iPhoto that's built into iPhoto, but you can try asking in the iPhoto forum where if anyone knows how you'll be more likely to get a response. There is a third-party product called PhotoUpLink that the developer says works with iPhoto that you could try.
The same applies to your Aperture question; try asking in the Aperture forum, though if you're using the demo plugin that comes in the Aperture Plug-In SDK, that's really not intended to be "production quality" but rather just an example of plugin development, so it may well lack capabilities or otherwise have issues. You might take a look at PhotoUpLink or Uberload for Aperture,
Not using Photoshop Elements I can't say about that, but Adobe runs their own forums for that here where you could ask.

Photos deleted by iPhoto via subfolders- now they can not be found

I deleted photos in various folders after they were put there by iphoto when the folder was created. I deleted the photos after reading iphoto WILL NOT permantly delete photos from the main library.
The photos are stored on a large 3T hard drive. Sometimes it is hare to even locate files via finder- I do not know why the spinning wheel just spins forever and wont open the folder.
Anyway- if there is a series of phtos taken DSC001, DSC002 etc all the way to DSC009.
so now that I have deleted photos in a sub folder- they do not show in the main PHOTO library. They also do not show in finder when I perform a search.
So first I'd like to locate and put my iphoto library as it was. I have already done all a couple complete "rebuilds" via the iphoto option. Nothing has changed- photos still missing.
After I hopefully find my missing photos (of my childred etc) I'd like to move all photos to aperature.
So- what is the best way to move the entire library to apperature and set it up to manage my photos from here on out?
What measures do I have to take to protect my photos in the future from losing them in aperature?
Thanks so much for any help.
Peace-
Jeff
iphoto11 is being used

That view is the Photos mode with Event names set to be viewed. It's viewing the same photos that you would be seeing in the Event mode.
Any photos in that window that are moved to the iPhoto trash and the trash bin emptied via the iPhoto ➙ Empty iPhoto Trash menu option will be removed from the library and moved to the Trash bin in the Dock. To remove from the hard drive one must also empty the Trash bin in the Dock.
If you've deleted from the Photos mode and emptied both the iPhoto and Dock Trash bins the photos are gone.
You're best bet is to restore the library from a backup make just prior to the deletions.
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or from the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

Can I print wallet sized photo's in iPhoto '11?

I've always printed multiple wallet sized photo's on a single sheet of photo paper. After upgrading to iPhoto '11 is there is no option to print wallets?

There does not appear to be a way to do this with a single image selected. But if you select multiple images, and then select to print and then select Contact Sheet from the examples shown in the right hand column that appears, then this will print all the selected photos onto a single sheet.

I have so called photo subscription for lightroom and photoshop. How can I get new version of lightroom?

I have a 9.99 subscription for lightroom and photoshop. I only use lightroom and would like to try new version 6, which I think I should be eligible under subscription plan. I can't figure out how to upgrade my existing copy. Creative Cloud doesn't offer this option.

How to share iPad Photos and iMac iPhoto via network?

I've recently added an iPad 2 to my Apple system. Can anyone tell me how to access my iMac's iPhoto library (OSX 10.7.2) with the iPad 2's Photo's app (or other app) via my Apple Extreme home network? I'm running iOS 5 on the iPad.
It's clearly possible (and I've done it) to share iPhoto libraries between computers running OSX and iPhoto over my network. On my iMac, iPhoto Preferences>Sharing opens a window with clear options to enable this service:
However, I have yet to find the app on the iPad 2 which will perform the same function so I can link libraries between my desktop and my iPad. Is there one, or a third party app for this?
Thanks

In general the simplest way would be to store the document in iCloud, and use iCloud to access the document from both your iMac and iPad.
But your post above says you're running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4). Snow Leopard is now two years old. I'm not sure it supports iCloud.

Can i recover photos moved from iphoto via finder?

first things first: i made a stupid mistake.
i wanted to share a lot of photos w/ friend via my google drive. i store my photos in iphoto. what i did was that i located the files in finder, selected them and moved the whole lot to my googledrive.
what i have now is a lot of jpg-files in my google drive, size of 33-34k - so i think i've got the thumbnails there.
when i go into iphoto, i only see the outlines of the rectangles which normally contain the thumbnails but not the thumbnails themselves. when i select a rectangle, double click on it, i get to a screen where i would normally get the big picture the thumbnail stands for. now i get a grey screen with an exclamation mark.
however, when i select the "edit" option, the image becomes visible. now there are two kinds of photos in the library - ones which have not been edited, they are as were taken by the camera. and another group which has been edited. unfortunately before i edit a pic, i first make a duplicate, so since all my edited pics are also duplicates, and i have no duplicates which are not edited, i can't tell if the error i am getting is due to the edit or to the duplication: but the unedited ones i am able to duplicate, i am able to send via email from iphoto, but the edited/duplicated ones i cannot.
do you people have any idea how i could secure my edited pics?
thank you very much.

If you are lucky, and only moved the thumbnails folder from your iPhoto library, use iPhoto's built-in Library First Aid Tools to rebuild the thumbnails.
Quit iPhoto.
Hold down the key combination ⌘⌥ firmly, and continue to hold it down, while double clicking the iPhoto icon to launch ipHoto in "First Aid" mode.
From the panel that appears, select "rebuild Thumbnails":
I hope, that will restore the thumbnails. You may want to follow this by "repair database".
Don't remove, rerame, or change anything inside an iPhoto database. That will corrupt your library for sure.

Photos Blurry in iPhoto vs Photoshop Elements or Preview

I've noticed in iPhoto 5.0.4 my photos don't appear to be presented as sharp as they do when I open the same photo in Photoshop Elments 2 or in Preview. I double click the photo to go to edit mode. I have the same photo open in the other applications. iPhoto is a tad blurry.
Has then been fixed in iPhoto 6?
Thanks for any advice
Kelvin

Also take a look at PhotoPresenter. It has some terrific animated themes and allows putting both slides and video files in the same slideshow. It will integrate with iPhoto also.
Do you Twango?
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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Help! Can't update photo library for iphoto 6.1

I just installed iLife. When I went to open iphoto it appeared to be updating my photo files. Then it stopped and a window popped open that said I needed to give read write permissions to all files. I made sure that all my photo files have read write permissions. Everytime I try to open iphoto it goes through the same procedure of trying to update the photo files and then gives me the same message about the permissions. Then it crashes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jenny

JenTob:
Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. That will get any files that may have snuck by you. It's very effective.

HT204655 Can you use the new photos library for iPhoto to save space

I want to use the same library for photos and iPhoto because that way it will use a fraction of the space. Is that possible.

When you open the iPhoto library with Photos for the first time it will convert it to a Photos library. However, there is not a duplication of files or lost space on the HD. This is because the Photos library uses hard links to the original files in the iPhoto Library thus not duplicating files or taking up more space on the HD even though it may see so in the Finder.
I suggest you keep the iPhoto application and library until you're sure the Photos app and library will suit your needs. Photos is missing many features that iPhoto has which many of rely on heavily. You may find that Photos isn't for you right now and you want to continue using iPhoto until those missing features are restored.

What is the best & easiest duplicate photo finder for iphoto?

Would appreciate your feedback if you have used any programs and how well they worked for you. I am not a "techy" person, but need to find
a program that will allow me to locate duplicate photos, burn then to a disc and then delete the duplicate. Thank you for any advice!!

iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - is good for identifying duplicaes

IPhoto 9/Photoshop Elements compatibility

I never used to have this problem when I had my old eMac. I can't open up photos from my iPhoto into Photoshop elements. At first I thought it was a Camera Raw compatibility problem, as Camara Raw isn't compatible with my current Nikon. However, even old photos taken on my old Canon will not open in Photoshop. I try to select and click on an image when in the "select" function and rather than anything being highlighted, the box scrolls back to the first image in my iPhoto images. It is getting very frustrating. I was able to drag and drop images to my desktop before, but now I can't even drag and drop anymore. I am not a huge tech person, but I do a lot of digital scrapbooking and not being able to simply open up the iPhoto image is now getting beyond frustrating. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am using Photoshop Elements 6.

Try this basic fix: trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
Then re-select Elements as your External Editor and try again.

Undo cropping done via Photoshop elements

I dragged a photo directly from iPhoto into Photoshop Elements (rather than saving it to the desktop first, then dragging to Elements) and cropped it, then clicked "save." Now when I go into iPhoto, I can see the full, uncropped image in the thumbnail, but when I double-click to enlarge it, I can see only my edited image from Photoshop. I tried to control/click on the image to "restore to original," but that option was not available to me. I no longer have the image in my camera. Is there a solution?

No, because that's not how you use iPhoto and Elements together.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

How do I get my lost photos back from iPhoto 11

How do I get my lost photos back for iPhoto 11

With that amount of information the only possible solution anyone can recommend is to restore from your back up.
Other than that:
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.
