Transfer photo prints to iPhoto

I have photo prints from old fashioned film rolls.
If I scan them, can they be put into iPhoto Library, and if so, will they behave the same as any digital picture ?

It is scanning to RGB:
Color space : RGB
Color profile : sRGB IEC61966-2.1
If this as you explained, can I get it out of the A4 size white area it is set in, and will it perform as a standard photo if I want to print it off ?
These are settings on your scanner. I would guess is that you've put a snap on the scanner and scanned. it has now scanned the shot and the whole scanner bed. Hence you get what looks like a white page with the snap in the csntre?
If so, the best I can tell you ia to read the manual for the scanner. I can't advise you as I've never used a HP. But I'll bet that there is a facility to select just the snap to scan and not the whole bed, and that's what you are looking for.

Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.

Albums are not places to store photos, they're more like "labels" you can apply to photos to better organize them. A single image file can be in multiple albums... they are not copies, it's simply been labelled as being in all those albums. So what you're trying to do doesn't make sense, because it's based on incorrect assumptions.
The iPhoto library will always show all photos that you have added to iPhoto.

How can I transfer photos in an iphoto album to a usb in the order they are in the album?

I just got a digital photo frame and want to transfer pictures from an iPhoto album in the order they are in the album. When I try and move them to a usb or card they are rearranged according to the number of the photo. How can I transfer them in the order they should be for an album or slide show?

Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

Scan photo prints to iPhoto

I have a lot of photo prints taken on old-fashioned film, before the days of digital.
I have an HP Photosmart 5520 scanner/printer which has an option for Photo Preset. The default 'Resolution' setting is 200ppi. There are other options for 75,100,300,600,1200 or 2400 ppi.
My first question is, which 'Resolution' setting should I choose ?
The scanned size at 200 ppi for one print is 2.74MB. When sent to iPhoto its size is reduced to 1MB.
Another apparent anomaly is that although the prints are all 6 inches x 4 inches, their 'info' in iPhoto can vary from anything between 1184 x 791 to 2292 x 1498, and in size from 322 KB to 985 KB.
The digital photos I already have in iPhoto, nevertheless, are all 3888 x 2592 ; but the sizes vary eg from 3.4 MB to 6.1 MB.
File > 'Get Info' for the scanned photos says they are JPEG images and 'color space' is RGB, which I understand is the requisite . . . Can the foregoing re scanned and digital photos be explained ?
Thanks in anticipation

My first question is, which 'Resolution' setting should I choose ?
Depends entirely what you're going to be doing with the Photos. Jpeg is a lossy format, so as you edit each time you save some data is lost. If they require intensive editing, then the more data the better. Are you going to print them? Depending on your devices and the quality you hope to achieve, then perhaps the old 300 dpi for printing is a reasonable rule-of-thumb. If you're uploading them to the internet, say flickr or whatever, then 100 is fine. So, it depends on your proposed usage.
The scanned size at 200 ppi for one print is 2.74MB. When sent to iPhoto its size is reduced to 1MB
iPhoto doesn't reduce the size of anything on import. Where are you seeing these sizes mentioned?
Another apparent anomaly is that although the prints are all 6 inches x 4 inches, their 'info' in iPhoto can vary from anything between 1184 x 791 to 2292 x 1498, and in size from 322 KB to 985 KB.
No anomaly here. Your computer has no "inches" everything is measured in pixels. So the fact that an image is 6x4 in the real world is of no relevance. What matters is the pixel dimensions you choose to digitise (or scan) it. You can create a scan of you 6 x 4 that will be 600 x 400 pixels. (@100dpi) Or you can as easily create one the will be 14,400 x 9,600 (@2,400 dpi)... In other words, don't expect a direct correlation between what you hold in your hand and what you make on the screen. They're different worlds...
But again, iPhoto doesn't change anything on import, so I'd be looking at the scanner for explanations of these variations.
As to the file size, remember not all pixels are the same. An image that is pure white or pure black will have a smaller file size than one of a richly coloured sunset, and will also depend onn the resolution you scan at - so again, no direct correlation, it's a complex equation.

Looking to transfer photos from several iphoto 6 sources to new iphoto

Hey all,
So I just got a new macbook pro. i want to transfer all my previous photos to my new iphoto. heres the thing i have prob 3-4000 pics that are saved in 4 seperate places (all by simply copying/ backing up the Iphoto Library folder)
I have:
1 iphoto library folder on my old powerbook
1 on my G5
1 on a firewire drive
1 on another firewire drive.
these are all iphoto 6 libraries
i dont care about transferring over the library files or saving the albums because only 1 of these libraries actually has some orginized albums and i'm going to be going thru and reorganizing all once i get them in the same library.
Can i simply just drag all the "originals" folders to the new iphoto's originals folder?
or do i have to drag the contents (photos/vids) of these originals folders into iphoto?
again i just want the pics in my new iphoto. i dont care about albums and i never did any retouching or editing in iphoto
thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You need to import the contents of the Originals folders of these various libraries to the new iPhoto.
Can i simply just drag all the "originals" folders to the new iphoto's originals folder?
No. iPhoto is a database. It cannot see anything that has not been imported. Also, since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
So, you may need to read this:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
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*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *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.
3. *Show File*: 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.
Regards

Single photos printed in iPhoto come out all wrong

I'm trying to print photos from iPhoto. The problem is they come out the wrong size or with the incorrect alignment (or both). I'm printing on an Epson using 4x6 photo paper. After I've believed to set up the size and print quality in the Print dialogue box, the prints come out off-center and aligned incorrectly; sometimes they come out in thumb-nail size. What is really confusing is that it seems you can set up the photo in two different ways: one in Page Setup, and one through the Print dialogue box; doing one or both changes everything, and it's always wrong. Can someone give me step-by-step help? Thanks.

I'm afraid that I can give no solution, but am equally keen to discover and correct the issue. I have a similar problem printing from iPhoto to my HP Deskjet F380, no orientation issues (as yet) though. The print setup all seems fine and shows me what I want to print but as soon as I go to print, preview or pdf I get given something completely different and something that does not correspond to any of the other print settings. I have eliminated the printer driver as an issue - this has been re-installed and besides there are no issues with printing from any other software.

Why order photo prints in iPhoto?

I love iPhoto, and i really enjoy making books using it as well. I want to start ordering just normal 4x6 prints to keep as archived photos. But my problem is the pricing. Is there any justification to ordering 4x6 prints using iPhoto over ordering them from Walgreens?
Sure it's .12 a print with iPhoto, and it's .20 a print with Walgreens, but Apple charges 3.99 for shipping, and then .25 for tax.
Can someone explain to me why I'd pay this much for prints? The only time I guess I'd save money is if I had an order with over 70 prints; that way the charge for shipping and tax would be made up by the cheaper prints.
Does anyone else see the problem here? Or does anyone on here actually order prints from iPhoto? What are your experiences like? Pros and Cons from just uploading to Walgreens and picking them up? Is there a big difference in print quality?
Just curious. I love Apple products and I love using them, but this option just seems like it's not worth it to anyone

Don't use it. It is just convenience.
If you are really printing pictures for archiving, you might get to 70 pictures in a hurry!
You could also create a "photos to print" album and wait until you get a hundred or so to print.
But really, Apple will not send you an email with a sad-faced kitten asking "bradhotdog, why didn't you order your prints from us? Now we has sad."

Photo Printing With iPhoto

iPhoto is a good program but it is practically useless for printing on small photo paper. I use "Film Factory OS X" which I think came with my Epson R300 printer.
David

Hi David,
I use Easy Photo-Print which came with my Canon Printer. I actually think the software that comes with the Printers are easier and pretty good because they were made for the Printer.

How do I transfer photos off of iPhoto onto a CD?

How would I transfer a large group of photos off of iPhoto onto a CD?

I just answered your post of how to transfer a large group of Photos to a CD by asking if the photos were in iPhoto and if the HP was on the same network. This question has more information so here is a better answer.
Select the Photos in iPhoto; if they are spread over a number of different events, you may just want to Flag them all by clicking the flag icon in upper left corner of each. Once they are all selected, go the the iPhoto File Menu and use the Export item. In the second screen of the export process you will be able to select the location to export them to.

Transfer photos toIpad with iPhoto

I can't figure out how to transfer photos from any of my Macs to my brand new iPad 3 - via iTunes or not. I bought the app for the iPad / iPoto. The BRIEF instructions said to sycn my photos to iTunes - on my iMac, first (?); which I cannot load into iTunes, somehow, and then transfer them. I still don't understand everything about iCloud - so that is not the best route for me right this minute; and I know nothing about PhotoStream; and if that would be a solution. I can't sem to get them into a new folder or library to transfer (either) of them to my iPhone - and then somehow tranfer them via iPhone to the iPad's iPhoto app.
I am still lost on the iPad 3; I've tried everything I know about iTunes - can't get the photos into ANYTHING to WiFi copy them from iPhoto on the iMac; or iTunes, that are stored on my iMac. I bought a self-poweredd USB port and adapter for teh iPad, to try and copy them / import them into the iPad 3...that goes nowhere, too.
Please help!
Thanks!!

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

In iPhoto when I want to print a photo using glossy photo paper how do I get the presets to include this type of paper?
Presets only show 4 paper choices related to photo on Matte paper & photo on phot paper

Paper type is not an iPhoto selection but a printer selection and depends on you printer driver. The printer secific selections are in the last print screen - if they are nit there click on the light grey triangle to the right of the printer name on that screen

Photo printing from Iphoto 09 using epson r200 printer

Mac Mini, Iphoto 09, Epson stylus photo r200 printer.
Hello, I have been trying to get a decent printed photo (6" x 4" high gloss photo paper) using the above. All I seem to get are very poor quality prints. There does not seem to be a way of telling iphoto what medium I am using or the correct resolution I wish to use. Can anyone help !

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
If paper type is available it is in the printer specific options on the second print window - select the photo(s) you want to print, click print, select the printer, paper size and print size and click print - in the resulting window any available printer specific options will be in the pull down line toward the bottom of the window - if they are not click on the gray triangle to the right of the printer name to open the full window -- note that the available printer specific options are controlled by the printer driver - not iPhoto

I am trying to transfer photos from my iPhoto library to a newly created one.

I want to know if I'm doing this the easiest way. I have an iPhoto library with 45,000 photos. I just created a new library and want to take some of the photos and put them in the new library. I created a folder on my desktop where I exported the event, switched libraries and imported to the newly created iPhoto library. Is the is right steps to take or is there an easier one.

That will work but there is a more efficient method. Use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy Events from the old library into the new library. This will also copy any edited versions, keywords, titles, places, etc.
