Transitioned to Photos. Now I can't import pictures to my editing software. The Library is greyed out?

I transitioned to Photos and all my photos are there. Everything was fine. I use a program for editing with my Bamboo Tablet and import photos from my library as a layer to the project I'm working on. The program is called ArtRage Studio if that matters. When I am using ArtRage, and I need to import a picture as a layer, i can't. I navigate to the file location of my "library", which I see both the iPhoto Library icon and a Photo Library icon, but I can't select them. I use to be able to just select Pictures like I do in Finder but now this garbage program Photos has screwed everything up. I have to actually launch Photos view anything. I can't view anything in the finder either like I use to.
This is garbage. I know its a longshot that someone also uses ArtRage, but am i missing something ? Why can't I view my location of the photos I have?

The new Photos is an entirely different app than iPhoto was and requires plugins from the 3rd party editor developers to be able to use them to edit photos in the library. In the meantime we'll need to export the original file to the Desktop, edit it there with the 3rd party app and then import the edited version back into the library as a new photo.
So we're at the mercy of the 3rd party app developers. I know Pixelator just came out with a new version that can access the Photos library to obtain photos to edit. But all edits have to be saved to the Desktop and imported as new photos.

I installed Snow Leopard and now I can't import pictures from iphone or memory chip.

I installed Snow Leopard to my Mac Book Pro and when I went to import pictures from my Iphone 4 to the Mac I received a message that it could not read the files. I also tried importing pictures from my camera's memory card and got the same error. This hadn't happened before the installation of Snow Leopard, what could it be?

update SnowLeopard to its latest version, v 10.6.8, and alongside that also your iTunes to v10.5
Use disk utility to repair the OS permissions after all updates are in place.

When I open FB it says a script is running and now I can't post pictures, feelings or any of the buttons, and even when I push post it stays grey

I have a new computer and run Symantec protection on it. When I open Facebook it always says a script is running and asks me what I want to do (continue, debug or end script). Then I can't post pictures of anything on that grey toolbar. When I post just words it stays light grey and if I try to leave the page it says I'm not done, but then posts it anyways...
Any help would be appreciated. It only happens on mozilla.

Photos in trash can not be viewed. I have rebuilt the library but that did not help.

I need to retrieve a photo that went into Aperture trash, but no images appear in trash, though it says it has 13 versions filed there. I rebuilt the library as per trouble shooting instructions, but still no go. The rest of Apperture seems to be working fine. Any suggestions?

Have you any filters set? Check the search fields. They should be showing "Show all" or "All items".
If you are seeing "Unrated or better", rejected images will not be shown.

HT202731 I downloaded Yosemite now I can't import photos to IPhoto.

I downloaded Yosemite now I can't import photos to I Photo with my Canon A40 camera. Does anyone have this problem?

I always use my SD card reader in my Mac. Seems to be more reliable and easier to use. Do you have iPhoto in preferences set to import when camera is attached?

I used to upload any picture to Fbook which was in my Iphoto. Now, I can only upload pictures from IPhoto which are a week old. I'm unable to upload any recent pics from Iphoto to FBook - like pics I uploaded to I photo today. They are in IPhoto, but once I'm on FB, and want to upload, they aren't available to choose. Help? Thanks! Louise

thanks for replying.
the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do. it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes. it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop? and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from? sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy.
i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'?
as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder. was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything. once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto. this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over. it will basically be a lot of deleting.
one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck. :-)
thanks again, for your help.

I took a 15 minute video clip on my phone and now I can't import it into iphoto. I've been able to import clips to iphoto in the past. How do I fix this? How can I get it imported onto my MacBook and ultimately iMovie?

Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps? There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information.

Do you mean they are on the web at iCloud.com or on your PC in an iCloud client (such as Outlook)

Make the iTunes window wider.
It is on the far right.

Um, can you "import" it? You can "install" them, but only the ones made for FCP 7 on Leopard.

I am doing a photo book but can only place picture from the last 12 months or last import. How can I access other pictures? Any advice?

You access them in the event they are in or under Photos or from an album if they are in an album - simply drag them to the book project in the source pane on the left

Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

Hi,
Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad? Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
Thanks.

Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
Click once on that & type your title.
This works for any item, video or photo.

Lightroom 3.6 update and now i can't import anything

I've been using LR 3 for a while, really loving it, then a couple of days ago, I was prompted to an update for 3.6. I did this and now I can't import anything.
I'm using a Mac, OS 10.7, and I've been using a Canon 60D with great success and results, and nothing has changed except for me updating to 3.6.
I'm using Camera Raw 6.6 and I updated the DNG converter to 7.2 and still it won't work. The message i get is that the following couldn't be imported because they could not be read. It's true for the RAW and the JPEG files, both.
Help!

I have the exact same problem. I updated to 3.6.12 and encountered the "blank page" printing problem. I ended up re installing Firefox 3.0.19. Printing works great. Also Firefox 3.5.15 gave the same blank page printing problem. I also installed "Better privacy" and " Ghostery"at the time of updates. These programs do not run under the 3.0.19 version. Not sure if if they are related to the problem. Good luck and hope a solution to the problem comes about.

Good morning to all of you
I have A mac and I did the mistake of upgrading my Lightroom 5.4 to 5.6 Now I can't import anything it says "Could not find namespace: AgCreativeCloudUtils"
Could anyone help me resolve this problem?
Should I uninstall the program and reinstall it
Thank you so much

I asked because an awful lot of people have recently been confused between downloading the Cloud and the perpetual versions of Lr - although I'm not automatically assuming your'e guilty of this - and can't understand why their serial no won't unlock their new software.
If the wrong version has been installed, then it must be uninstalled and the right one downloaded.
