What's up with iPhoto "share"?

The new update on iPhoto is perplexing. It used to be, for me, quite simple to select pics I want, and then email, facebook, etc. them. Now, there is this awkward postcard type format that is difficult to edit, delete certain pics. etc. Also, and I may be missing something simple, I have no record of those sent emails in my Mail folder.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

. Now, there is this awkward postcard type format that is difficult to edit, delete certain pics.
Set the Preferences in iPhoto to mail your photos using "Mail" and not iPhoto.
Change the setting for "Email photos using" to "Mail", if it is set to iPhoto. Then you will see a regular Mail window. And you can add :cc or :bcc fields to receive copies.

  • What to do with iPhoto after installing and migrating to Photos?

    I'm basically trying to understand what goes on with the pictures after migrating to the new Photos app:
    After migrating to Photos I tried to open iPhoto which warns me that changes will not be visible in Photos. Fine, but will changes still be present in iPhoto? There are some pictures in the trash bin, which I guess will stay until I remove them from there?
    I see both an iPhoto and Photos library among in my Pictures folder, about the same size. From the total disk space I do not think they are duplicates. How does it work?
    Can iPhoto be removed, removing all traces, with no adverse effects on my photo library?
    Another related issue that I haven't figured out: I heard that when editing in iPhoto the application would create a new image and save it on disk, while e.g. LightRoom would just store the edit information? Is it true, and how is it done in Photos?

    I see both an iPhoto and Photos library among in my Pictures folder, about the same size. From the total disk space I do not think they are duplicates. How does it work?
    iPhoto and Photos are sharing the image files using hard links. The photos are only once on your disk, see:
    Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
    After migrating to Photos I tried to open iPhoto which warns me that changes will not be visible in Photos. Fine, but will changes still be present in iPhoto? There are some pictures in the trash bin, which I guess will stay until I remove them from there?
    The changes will stay applied in the iPhoto Library, yes. And empty the iPhoto Trash, if you want the trash deleted.
    Can iPhoto be removed, removing all traces, with no adverse effects on my photo library?
    It could, but I would wait a bit, before take this step. Check your photos library thoroughly, before you delete if.
    If you should discover later, that the migration of your libraries has been faulty and you need to repeat it after repairing your libraries, you will be out of luck.
    Remember, it is is just a few days after the first release of Photos as version 1.0.  There are very likely some bugs and I would not burn all bridges before the library has been thoroughly tested and you are very confident, that this early Photos release is working well on your Mac.
    Another related issue that I haven't figured out: I heard that when editing in iPhoto the application would create a new image and save it on disk, while e.g. LightRoom would just store the edit information? Is it true, and how is it done in Photos?
    iPhoto and Photos have a lossless workflow like Lightroom. They store the sequence of edits, and create only a preview image of the edited version.  When you add further edits, all edits will be applied starting from the original image, and all edits can be removed and the photo reverted to the original.  With Photos this works also with iCloud Photo Library across all your devices. Edit a photo on your Mac and change the edits on our iPhone.

  • What's wrong with iPhoto?

    Up until recently, when editing photos, the photo would black out when I try to edit.
    I have a Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.4
    iphoto version 9.3 although continually updated.
    I am working with JPEGs and RAW photos and sometimes I am experiencing "technical difficulties"
    1. When I select a photo to edit, as soon as I click on an editing selection (QUICK FIX, EFFECTS, ADJUST, or even BOOST, SHADOW) the photo disappears. Now I can go back to the album and re-select the same photo that disappeared and it was edited. So what I am saying is that I cannot watch the process of my photos getting edited. This never has happened before.
    PLEASE HELP!!
    thank you for your time :-)

    I am going to try this solution as well. My iPhoto (9.3, running Lion OS 10.7.4 on Intel based iMac) gave me the following message (when i tried to download a photo from Facebook without having iPhoto already open):
    "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete."
    At that time i opted to try to "Quit" doing that upgrade due to the fact I was not going to be available to monitor such an upgrade and that is when iPhoto froze, the iPhoto window is gray, white pinwheel spinning in the center, will not shut down, cannot obtain a Force Quit in any way, shape or form. The initial Upgrade window will not close is is always at the forefront of any open windows. Am very reluctant to shut down the computer as i have read in other discussions when this happens the iPhoto app will not open or if it does there are no photos in the person's library. I sure hope this option works. I do have external Time Machine back up of my iMac, hoping i may recover my photos from that source if this Alt key launch does not offer me that library access again. Ugh.
    Thank you for your suggestions. Hope this works!

  • Where are my pictures and what's wrong with iPhoto??

    Hello Apple Support Community!
    Since I have updated iPhoto a few weeks ago, it didn't work right anymore.
    Everytime I started it, I had to repair the whole libary.
    Because I was tired of waiting several hours I didn't use it until now.
    Today I wanted to update my pictures and sync it with my iPhone but iPhoto tells
    me that it may be used by another programm (I don't think so) or can't be read anymore.
    I looked up the iPhoto libary and opend it to see if my pics are still there (Information tells me
    that the size is about 25GB) but there is no folder called "originals" and there isn't a single picture in it!!
    I have no copies of the pictures and I would be very sad if they were lost...
    I'm looking foward to receive your support and your ideas!
    Sincerely,
    Lukas

    we actually need details to help
    - all taps are grey, so I can't open "about iPhoto" but the app store tells me that iPhoto 9.5.1 is installed
    No place did I suggest opening "about iPhoto"  what I ask you to do was
    look in the Applications folder and select the iPhoto application - get info - what version so you have on your computer?
    Looking in the App store is not useful - we know that you have a problem and one possibility is that the App store is confused about what you have so you need to provide the requested information following the directions given
    and I have no idea in the wrold what you have done or have - first you say that when you try to rebuild the iPhoto library you get
    Ad 3) I already tried to do it but the programm tells me that it will start when a libary is available because there is a time machine backup running (I never activated time machine)
    Then you say
    - done, but nothing new happened
    What does that mean - immediately after restarting when you
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database
    what exactly does happen? Are you saying that you get the message that TM is backing up? Or are you saying that the rebuild does not help? Or are you saying something else?
    Remember we can not see you or your computer and to help you you need to follow instructions and provide revenant detailed accurate reports to us
    - i found a lot of pictures of the face recognition service of iPhoto!
    Source:
    /Users/lukasschroll/Pictures/Bibliothek iPhoto/Thumbnails/2012/12/07/20121207-223417
    Again you are mucking around inside the iPhoto library - I strongly suggest tha tyou STOP doing this
    again it is critical that you stop doing this as I previously said
    4 - Stay out of the iPhoto library unless specifically directed by an expert to do things in it - there are no user servicable parts in it and it is extremely easy to make a mistake and deestroy it and lose data

  • Path palette: What's wrong with "path share" and "path exclude"?

    Hi everybody. First of all: Sorry for my english, but I hope someone can understanding me.
    Well, I want to work with Fireworks in the future because I think that this programm keep in some situation more efficience as Photoshop... So I was trying to learn how this programm is working.
    Since some days I make some experiments with Path's, because I like to work with Illustrator as well. But now, I am still going crazy because I don't understanding 2 options. I don't know the english names but In the path palette does they have this Icons:
    The first option (Pfade teilen) is "path share" and the second one (Pfade ausschließen) is free translate "path exclude"
    My question is: When I can use this 2 Options? I really did everything but nothing was working

    Thanks for posting about this issue! I've taken a look at the "Combine Paths" operations in the Paths panel in both Fireworks CS6 and CS5 on my Mac, and noticed several bugs. Between you and I, here's a summary of what we've found:
    Fireworks CS6, Version 12.0.0.236, WIN, 7, 64 Bit, SP 1
    Exclude Paths - Does not work.
    Fireworks CS6, Version 12.0.0.236, Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
    Divide Paths - No effect on rectangles.
    Exclude Paths - Requires 2 clicks for rectangles - one to ungroup rectangles and another to apply path operation.
    Fireworks CS5, Version 11.1.0.205, Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
    Divide Paths - Works like Exclude Paths.
    Undo - Deletes previous unrelated non-path operation. For example:
    Draw two ellipses.
    Draw a rectangle.
    Select two ellipses and apply Combine Paths operation.
    Undo (Command-Z).
    The rectangle disappears!
    You can submit a bug report to Adobe about the "Exclude Paths" issue, and include the URL for this discussion within your report:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    In the meantime, I'm going to send an e-mail to the developer about these issues. I know that he's working on a fix for another problem with this panel and planning on releasing a fix at some point, so hopefully these issues can get fixed as well.
    Again, thanks for being so persistent. It is challenging to understand your writing at times; however, the animated GIF was very helpful—and very well done. Have you tried composing your posts in your native language and then using something like Google Translate to convert it to English? I don't know if the results would be better; it's just an idea.

  • Knowing what to do with iPhoto and Pictures on my mac

    Hi! I am a complete beginner and this is my first time on these forums. I guess I have had my Mac Mini for about a year and although I do love it i still haven't touched the surface of the things it can do, in all honesty I guess I'm a bit scared to do or try too much and this is proved in my problem: sorry about the preamble!
    About two months ago I was looking at my pictures on the slideshow from a distance after I had finally realised that the pictures I had needed to be put into iPhoto 6 personally; so that done, I noticed that they were still in Pictures on my mac, as well as in iPhoto - I DID NOT know that these two packages operated simultaneously, together (is this correct?) Anyway I deleted the pictures from Pictures and then I noticed that they had vanished from iPhoto 6 too. BANG! About 1000 photographs gone and vanished, that had come from me man and boy, and PC! Any chance of getting them back?

    Yes, they are mixed up, like events/albums from a baby shower are now mixed in with a housing photo shoot, etc. So I don't quite know why or how it happened,it could be because when I migrated them from my windows, I just went into my network and sent them over the network and they went kerbluee every which way, also I think I may just pull the plug and take them all out and start over either way, I thank you for sending me the link to look at the tutorial, I am going to utilize the information this weekend and try to do some sorting, and will check out those options. Thanks for helping 'new kid' on the block.

  • What are the differences between acquisitions with Group shares and direct

    Dear all,
    I am new in consolidation of investments.
    Example illustrated from SAP help directory showed that the amount of goodwill arises from acquisition with direct shares will be more, Why?
    In what circumstances acquisitions with direct share is used instead of Group share?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Renee

    Hi Renee,
    What seems to me is its due the treatment as per different GAAPs. Some of the GAAP require direct share and others group share for calculation og GW. If you only consider the direct share then the GW is calculated only as per that share. However if you consider the group share then the calculation of GW will be based on the total holding in the group. In the example given probably the immediate parent company is not held 100% withing the group. That means the GW of the subsidiary will be diff based on the fact whether you are looking at direct share (share of imme. parent in the subs) or grp share (share of imme. parent in the subs*share of grp in the parent).
    Hope it helps a bit.
    Regards

  • Help help!!!!! with iPhoto'11 9.4.3

    i got this problem with iphoto..i transfer my photos ussing the SD card, it finish and then i delete the contents everything good on this point, then iphoto close itself .. so then i open again iphoto and the pics that i transfer desappear,, what's wrong with iphoto.. what do i do? Help

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with
    Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    And as leonieDF mentioned never let iPhoto delete the photos from a memory card or camera. Always reformat the card using the camera after making sure the photos are safe and sound in the library.

  • Differences between consolidation with Direct share and Group share?

    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Renee

    Direct shares and Group shares: 
    The group share and minority share of investments and equity in acquisitions of an investee unit are evaluated on the basis of the current percentages of ownership.
    ·       Acquisitions with direct shares (used in U.S. GAAP statements)
    ·       Acquisitions with groups shares (used in German HGB statements).
    If acquisitions are calculated on the basis of direct shares, only investment paths between the immediate upper units and the investee unit are taken into account; group shares of the remaining upper units are not taken into account.
    The entire ownership grid is taken into account when using acquisitions with group shares. The group share in the investee unit results from taking into account all investment paths that lead from the parent units of the consolidation group to the investee unit.

  • How can I share/view/edit all of my photos in iPhoto on iMac with iPhoto on MacBook Pro?

    I have all my photos stored on iPhoto '11 on my iMac.  I have a MacBook Pro Retnia with iPhoto that I would like to be able to view these same photos on. Is this possible?  If so, please let me know how?
    Also, if possible, can I edit and/or download photos to one computer's iPhoto and have them updated (sync) with the other computer?
    Finally, how do all of these photos with edits, etc relate to what I see on my iPad 3rd generation and iPhone 5?
    Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

    To view your library on another computer on the same network, you could use "Sharing". Set the iPhoto Preferences to share your entire library or selected albums:
    Also, if possible, can I edit and/or download photos to one computer's iPhoto and have them updated (sync) with the other computer?
    iPhoto Libraries cannot be synched between computers. If you want to have the libraries on both computers identical, you need to use the same library on both machines. Store your iPhoto library on an external disk (formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled) and plug the disk into the mac you are currently working with. Don't put the library onto a network drive - that will be a very sow access and may corrupt your photo library.
    To add new photos/events to iPhoto your other mac you can use the Photo Stream.
    Finally, how do all of these photos with edits, etc relate to what I see on my iPad 3rd generation and iPhone 5?
    You can only sync one iPhoto library with each OS device. If you sync a device alternately with each computer using iTunes Photo sync, the albums synced from the other photo library will be replaced by the new sync.

  • Can iPhoto share a stream with iOS7?

    hi
    I have created a shared photostream on an iOS7 phone, and allowed family members to post photos to it, but I can't seem to get the photos to synch with iPhoto on my Mac, is this even possible?
    I can post photos in iPhoto on my Mac to this shared stream and we can see those photos on the iOS7 device, but doesn't look like it works going from the iOS to the Mac
    thanks
    nick

    Having other post photos to a shared PhotoStream is currently only available on IOS 7 and the PC - I woudll expect a Mac iPhoto release that supprotes it soon (just a guess)
    What software versions do I need to be able view and share videos, and contribute to other people's shared streams?
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7.0 or later
    PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 3.0 or later
    AppleTV (second generation) with Apple TV Software Update 6.0 or later
    If the owner of the shared stream has turned on the Public Website option and shares the link with you, you will be able to view videos and see photos and video added by all contributors from any up-to-date browser.
