Using Iphoto or Picasa?

I am VERY new to the Mac world and Iphoto 09 came with my Macbook. I have been using Picasa for many years and have been looking at Iphoto with interest. I usually keep my pics in folders under my username and tend to back the whole thing up, knowing that I won't lose anything. From what I have seen, it appears that Iphoto can't watch folders for new pics like Picasa can. I seem to have to import everything which seems odd to me. I assume this takes up twice as much space on my drive as using Picasa alone? Can Iphoto be set to watch a folder or set of folders for new pics?

Not to be disagreeable, but.... I respectfully disagree
Ditto. However, there are some inaccuracies in your comments:
However, when one wants to manipulate photos and not store multiple copies,
iPhoto does not store multiple copies of a photo. It stores the Original and it keeps the current version of edited photos. These are not copies, they are versions.
or move files easily from device to device, iPhoto becomes an obstacle.
I’m not sure what you mean by moving files from device to device - but you can easily run an entire iPhoto Library from external disks. Perhaps if you clarify what you mean we can see if it holds up.
Part of the problem is the way iPhoto imports and stores photos, making them inaccessible to other photo programs.
Well this is also untrue. You can set any editor as an external editor in iPhoto. You can run referenced Libraries.
But there are a number of minor UI issues which seem very "unApple" to me - the fact that manipulations in albums don't show up in the library, for example.
Well this makes no sense at all. What do you mean by this? Edit a pic in an Album it will be edited in the Library view.
So, frankly, I’m not really sure what you’re talking about. By all means clarify.

Is there any way to use iPhoto without it moving my files?

I tried to use iPhoto ONCE last yer when I bought my Mac Mini, and it moved all my photo files around as it pleased, is there any way to stop it fro moving my files? I like the folder/file structure I have given my pictures and I do not need to have that managed.
At the moment I am using Picasa but I would like to know if it is possible to use iPhoto without it deciding what to do with my files.
Thanks!

No
It is a SQL database and it must control its database - like any database program
as long as you think of managing files rather than managing photos it is not the program for you - once you think of managing your photos then having the poser of a database for that will be obvious - if that is not what you want then do not use it
BTW - iPhoto does not ever "move" your files - it makes a copy of each photo in its database and manages it there - your files are never touched

I would like to use iPhoto to see existing Picture folder without importing

The following is a question for Aperture, as well.
I have a huge Picture file (90G), and I do not want iPhoto to import that Picture folder thereby making a duplicate. I only want one Picture file, the existing system folder called Pictures. And I want iPhoto to "reference" those files. I have seen references to setting up iPhoto (and Aperture) to use photos in outside libraries. I have seen them called "referenced"
But I can't find a specific instruction on how to set up iPhoto to do this. And I think it is crazy to have an iPhoto library of 90G, and an aperture library of 90g (already made that mistake, want to get rid of it), because that would give me three sets pf photos, with Pictures, and iPhoto and Aperture Libraries within Pictures (that's where the Aperture library is now). And the iPhoto library is there too, but is now empty. I do not want it to be filled. The User guide says Aperture (and by inference, iPhoto) can "link" to outside photos and create "referenced" libraries.
That is what I want to do, because I do not want my files within iPhoto and Aperture, because they are too hard to handle for other purposes, like using Preview for a quick look, or using Photoshop for editing. Not to mention the waste of disk space created by 2 libraries and the Pictures folder. And the confusion over time about which Photo is the real one.
Surely there is a better way, a way to have iPhoto (and Aperture) use the existing Picture folder in OSX (Snow Leopard).
Can anyone help me here?
Just tell me there is a way to do this, please.
Hope someone can help.

Your question is based on a false premise. It makes no sense to use iPhoto, Aperture and the Finder to manage the photos. The Finder isn't a photo manager. It's a file manager. If you can't grasp that distinction then you stick with the Finder. Both iPhoto and Aperture (and Lightroom, and Picasa) are Photo Managers. The entire point of these apps is to manage the photos without recourse to the files.
If you use a Photo Manager then you don't use the Finder's Quicklook, you use the application's viewing and sharing features.
Think of it this way: would you write your novel in Word, Pages, TextEdit and Nisus Writer at the same time? And also expect to be able to read it without launching your Word Processor?
So, yes, this is crazy:
And I think it is crazy to have an iPhoto library of 90G, and an aperture library of 90g (already made that mistake, want to get rid of it), because that would give me three sets pf photos, with Pictures, and iPhoto and Aperture Libraries within Pictures (that's where the Aperture library is now).
Because you would not use all three options. iPhoto and Aperture do essentially the same job. If you've purchased Aperture then that's the one to use. It's the more powerful application.
But regardless of which you choose, when you do you give up looking at the files in the Finder, you use the Photo Manager.
, because I do not want my files within iPhoto and Aperture, because they are too hard to handle for other purposes, like using Preview for a quick look, or using Photoshop for editing.
Both apps provide integration with Photoshop. Using Photoshop via the Finder and not via the app will cause you problems.
None of these apps are like Photoshop. Photoshop is a layer based pixel editor. These other apps are Digital Asset Managers. It's not the same thing. Photoshop has no management capability at all.
And the confusion over time about which Photo is the real one.
Now you need to do some reading on Photo Managers. All of them use a Non-Destructive workflow. All of them preserve your original photos, The concept of the "real one" makes no sense when you have many possible versions based on a single master file.
You've not grasped the key distinctions in managing digital photos. You're confusing photos with files, confusing the file manager with a photo manager and have given no consideration to Digital Asset Management. I would consider these issues before going any further.
FWIW: using a referenced Library with iPhoto:
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-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 later* ...
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*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
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.
Using iPhoto with Photoshop:
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.

Can iPhoto and Picasa co-exist?

I am using OS X, my wife has a Vista PC, our huge photo collection is on an external NAS.
We both use Picasa to access our photos - me, I have to boot into Vista to do so, since there still is no Mac version for Picasa.
What I would LIKE to do though, is using iPhoto on my Mac while my wife uses Picasa on her PC. I guess I could use Hazel to automatically add all photos to iPhoto that are dropped into a folder on our NAS. And tell iPhoto to store all photos on the NAS. But I guess I am missing something big here, right?
Did anyone try that before? Is it possible? Or am I dreaming?

The answer is Yes... but...
If you use iPhoto in Referenced mode you can do this. Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your NAS. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You are responsible for file management. You put the pics on the NAS, you remove them yourself after deleting them from iPhoto. Essentially you're telling iPhoto 'Don't touch my pics' and this includes on the way in and the way out.
2. You cannot rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them. Nor can you move them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers. But then again, you are.
Downsides? iPhoto has no cross platform ability whatever. Edits you make in iPhoto or via iPhoto will not be available to your Wife unless you export them back to the NAS. Don't move the Library to the NAS, folks have reported issues (up to and including database corruption) with Libraries on a NAS. Also, depending on the Format of the NAS there can be rare problems with the jpegs losing their file suffixes and becoming .exe files. (This can be easily repaired with a batch file renamer such as Name Mangler).
My best suggestion: create a test library. Set to Referenced Mode. Import 100 pics and see how things go. Play with it and see how things hang together or not.
Or change your wife to a mac.

Iphoto and picasa exporter get stuck exporting

I am using iphoto 11 on a macbook pro running OSX 10.7.5. I have uploaded photos from iphoto to Picasa many times before, but three weeks ago, iphoto got stuck every time it tried to export photos to picasa. It simply says that my photos are uploading, but stops and gets stuck when it reaches 288k on the first photo. When I try to upload photos one at a time, it will get to the end of a photo, and then say it is "finishing upload" and never finishes. I have tried exporting directly with Iphoto to Picasa and then using my picasa uploader application, and both have the same problem. I have plenty of space on my picasa account, and it allows me to log in without any problems. Any ideas of what is wrong and how to fix the problem? Thank you.

That Picasa exporter is made by Google - though it hasn't been updated in years. But they're the folks who can help with that.

I'm not sure what that means.

Balancing iPhoto and Picasa...or do I even need Picasa?

I use iPhoto for business purposes, taking pictures of all the items I make as a handcrafted jewelry designer. Only use my Coolpix 4500 for this purpose. Recently received a Kodak which I am using for personal picts.
What I would LIKE to do is have both business and personal picts uploaded to iPhoto, but kept separate without my having to move them into separate albums. Is this a possibility?
If not, how do I keep personal photos to remain just in Picasa?
Seems this should be a matter of setting preferences in both. If so, what should they be?

TD,
Hopefully one last question. I did not purchase iPhoto Library Manager, but downloaded to evaluate its use before buying it, as its marketing states. Did set up another Library, however now in my attempt to import, I seem to be in my "new" library, and can't get into my old/business library where I am attempting to import. Am receiving a message saying that before importing a registration # is needed, which means purchase. I have no intention of purchasing IF this is not going to work for me, and so far, I have not been able to evaluate it.
My questions...is there a way to import at this stage before purchasing, can I toggle between both libraries and if not how do I get back to my original settings so that I can at least import, see and use my business photos?
Grateful thanks

IPhoto vs Picasa - Referenced vs Managed

I want to use one of these 2 sw tools for managing our iPhone photos.
My jpg folder container has 6 GB of photos.
When I import these photos in iPhoto as a managed library - resulting library weighs in at around 13.31 - so twice as much as original raw Jpeg folder.
When Picasa scan this folder - it doesnt change it's size.
When I create new library as a referenced Library - what happens is the new lib file weighs in at 6+GB - so again it copied full raw jpg files, and added thumbnails on top of it.
So the question I have - will iPhoto be unusable after the DB is corrupted and referenced links are broken - even though the referenced files are already in the iPhoto Library per se ?
Someone will ask me what I tried to achieve - I wanted to keep using iPhoto for syncing albums to our iDevices. I thought I could do this while not doubling source of jpgs.
I also like the way slide show are presented and ease of use while ordering stuff from iPhoto.
OTOH I like how picasa handles management - it has albums as virtual management tool, while not touching your folder structure - in this case the structure is simple:
iPhonePhotos/YearRecorded
I also found out i can import photos through image capture into 2014 folder and then reimport same folder into iPhoto (in referenced mode). Only new photos are recognized and added, and then this event can be manually merged with old 2014 folder.
It's a bit longer process but it's fairly easy.

Use the one you like. It really doesn't matter which is "better" it will bring you no joy if you don't like using it.
Don't use iPhoto in referenced mode - you're only storing up issues for further down the road.
For more on iPhoto and file management see this User Tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6361
As to the size of the Library: my guess is that your jpegs have exif display tags. iPhoto reads the tags and produces a Preview of the image for sharing purposes. One of the big differences between the two apps is the OS integration.

Using iPhoto to manage photo syncing to Apple TV

Hi,
I don't normally use iPhoto. This is not really because I dislike the program as such; just that I prefer to use a different program to manage my photos (Picasa). However, I've just acquired an Apple TV, and it seems I might need to use iPhoto to to get the best results for syncing photos to the ATV. I tried syncing without using iPhoto, but subfolder structures are not synced from my Mac to the ATV. I'm told that what I need to do is create an album in iPhoto for each subfolder I want to mirror on the ATV. So, I have two questions:
1. What's the easiest way of replicating my existing folder structure in the finder within iPhoto 08? I have, for example, a folder for a year, and within that subfolders for various periods within the year. I also have a number of specific subject-based subfolders (e.g. a specific holiday or visit). Bear in mind also that I don't want to duplicate the photo files themselves by adding them to an iPhoto library – I want to leave the original files where they are.
2. Suppose I add a photo to an album within iPhoto, and I then later edit the original photo file using another application. How will this change be handled by iPhoto? Will it be reflected in the album and synced across to ATV next time I sync?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

The most simple way to replicate your existing folder structure is to start at the bottom of your hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Source or left-hand pane in iPhoto.
It will import the pics and create an album from them.
You can create the enclosing folders in iPhoto (File -> new Folder) and drag the album to the folder. You can nest folders inside folders.
So folder 2001, Folder January: Album New Year’s Day... etc.
Note that Smart Albums and the Calendar tool make this form of organisation pretty pointless in iPhoto.
Bear in mind also that I don't want to duplicate the photo files themselves by adding them to an iPhoto library – I want to leave the original files where they are.
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
I generally would not recommend running iPhoto in Referenced Mode, but you’re using Picasa as your primary app.
Will it be reflected in the album and synced across to ATV next time I sync?
As long as you don’t move or rename the file, yes.

HELP: How do I use iPhoto 08 to import images onto my iPhone 3G?

Hi,
I was wondering how best to import images into my iPhone 3G for viewing.
Most of my image files are large high quality 2 -4 MB files.
Is there an easy way to downsize the files for viewing on the iPhone 3G? Does iPhoto have a setting specific for import/export use with the iPhone?
How do I set a specific photo as the phone's wallpaper and does it have to be specifically sized to use as wallpaper?
I have read the iPhone 3G manual but it was less than helpful just saying "Use iPhoto to import photos onto your iPhone"...

here is a thread with lots of discussion of this topic - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1618079&tstart=105
In general you make album(s) of the photos you want on the iPhone and sync the album(s)

Using iPhoto 08 with Photoshop elements

I am a recent Mac convert and I'm loving it.
However, I need some help understanding how best to use Photoshop Elements in conjunction with iPhoto 08. I was thinking I could use iPhoto to keep track of photos and do basic edits and link to other iLife apps etc, and use Photoshop to do more indepth editing.
I would like to know the most efficient way to open photos from inside iPhoto, into Photoshop. And how to get them back into iPhoto.
I realise I can drag a photo and create a copy on to the desk top and then open it with Photoshop, do some editing, save it to a/any folder, then import it back into iPhoto but…
1) is there a better way to do this?
2) I'm concerned with filling up my hard drive with multiple copies!
I'd be greatful for any help, Thanks

Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

I to use iphoto library manager to save corrupted iphoto and each time it saves some and the first time it brings up iphoto, iphone goes into "not responding" mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2.

I've had issues with my iPhoto "not responding" and as a result I am attempting to save my photos to an external hard drive using iPhoto library Manager but each time I start the program it saves some, and then when it starts iPhoto, iPhoto then goes into not responding mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2. I have completed all of the photo library first aid steps several times, but it makes no difference, iphoto eventually goes to "not responding." Initial issues started with Time Machine back ups stopping because of iphoto. Thanks......

Do you have a back up?
If you're just trying to recover the photos you can do that much more simply:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Originals' or 'Masters'. (varies according to the version of iPhoto)
Your photos are inside - these are the originals as imported from your camera.
