When do you need to transfer from iPhoto to Photoshop?

I have a new macbook, with iPhoto and am enjoying it. i hear photoshop C2 is amazing and wanted to ask when and if i should transition to it?
i usually just edit photos simply to put on my myspace or make albums and print out. would it be wise to invest in photoshop or is iphoto good enough?

If this is what you're doing, stick with iPhoto. PS doesn't 'do' albums. PS is an image editor. It's industrial level, with a considerable learning curve. It's expensive, very expensive. And while what it can do is amazing, learning how to do the amazing things takes a long time. I have a 600 page book here about an earlier version of PS. If you feel the editing facilities are not enough for you on iPhoto, then check out Photoshop Elements, a consumer level version of PS. A lot less expensive.

How do you get your photos from iPhoto into Photoshop? Am I just duumb

How do I move my photos from iPhoto to Photoshop? I am feeling really dumb right now.

Hi Gramo5,
Please follow the below steps.
In the Finder, navigate to your iPhoto package file. By default, it's located in /Users/[user name]/Pictures, and it's called iPhoto Library.
Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
A Finder window opens that shows the contents of the package file. The Masters folder contains all of the photos that are in iPhoto.
Control-click the folder named Masters and choose Duplicate.
Drag the folder named "Masters copy" from the iPhoto Library Finder window to your Desktop and then you can import the pictures to Photoshop from the desktop.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

Create slide show - help needed to transfer from iPhoto

I am an editing novice but a skilled Mac user with a programing background. I am trying to create a 20-30 minute slide show of approximately 250 photos to run in the background at my son's bar mitzvah on 61 inch plasmas. I have selected the photos and can produce something very basic in iPhoto. I would like to improve this in the following ways and hope Final Cut Express is the best too:
1) Ability to custom configure Ken Burns effects to the proper faces, etc, and hopefully add rotation of my choice.
2) Be able to create PIP and split screen effects. Concepts include having 2-4 photos in field simultaneously
3) No need for sound - this will run in background
4) Need to format photos to fit monitor best - assume this gets done best in iPhoto
Is the best thing to do to export a QT movie from iPhoto? Is there a better way to get the photos into FCE? Is there a good primer for slide shows in FCE either on web or for sale?
Sorry to pound the questions, but I did not see a direct response on the forum.

I just had to do a slide show with 190 pictures. I created it in iMovie so applying the Ken Burns would be less work, yet I still had control over the direction of travel. When I was done, while in iMovie, I exported as movie as the first choice under export (I can't think of the correct term) and selected the large option when it gave me the choices. It was exported to the desktop as an MP4 and I easily imported it into FCE with no loss of clarity. I also tried to export it as a Quicktime movie to see if it would work also and I was also able to import that into FCE. IMHO iMovie is the way to go for simple slide shows. Hope this helps.
PS. If you need 30 minutes of video, iMovie can easily adjust you photos. I know you said you didn't need music, but try this. Place all your photos into iMovie. Then place X number of songs, any songs, into iMovie until you have 30 minutes. I believe iMovie sets all clips at 4 seconds. You can then add cross desolve transitions between every photo buy going into project settings and clicking on the box to add dissolves. Then set the length of disolve between .5 and 1 second. You then call tell if you have enough photos to fill 30 minutes by seeing if the photos totaly fill up the music (highlight in iMovie)if you are to short, make the photos 5-10 seconds. If you are too long just make them shorter. When you import into FCE, just delete the audio track.

Boot into Safe Mode and try again.
If that doesn't work:
Remember: we cannot see your machine. 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. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained 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.

Just purchsed an .Mac account but when I try to send photos from IPhoto..

Hi there.
I just purchased a memebership to .Mac. When I try to send photos from IPhoto they keep reverting back to my old trial .Mac name.
I've already purchased the email only account for my permanent .Mac account, and deleted the old email trial name but it keeps coming up.
What do I do to make IPhoto recognize the new email account and transfer it? Since my trial ran out, and I removed the old account in my "manage account" folder for .mac, I'm wondering why the Iphotos won't recognize the information.
Thanks...

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This is using Mail, right? It's really a Mail question, but have a look at an email window - create one. On the left hand side. below the Subject Line, there's a heading called Account: with a drop down menu.
All the accounts that are active will be listed in the drop-down. If the unwanted one is there, then go to Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts (You'll need your password) -> Advanced.
Select the unwanted account and unclick 'Enable this Account'
Don't delete it or it'll delete any emails associated with the account too.
I hope this is what you're asking... If not post again.

When i move my raw files from iPhoto to dpp to edit them they turn into jpegs

when i drag & drop my raw images from iphoto into canons digital photo professional they show up as jpegs. I went to iphoto prefrences and [use RAW when using external editor ] is checked.

when i drag & drop my raw images from iphoto into canons digital photo professional they show up as jpegs.
When you drag and drop from iPhoto, you are not using the export panel. "Drag and drop" will simply use the lower quality jpeg previews.
To send your raw images to your external editor, you need to set up your Canon editor as External Editor in iPhoto.
In the "iPhoto Preferences > Advance" set "Edit Photos in" to your Canon ..., in addition to "Use Raw photos...."
Then, when you double click a photo to edit, it will open directly in your Canon editor.

My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.

My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.
When this happens I need to close down the computer and restart.
Any ideas ?
I've got Mountain Lion running.
I'm on a 13" white MacBook with 8GB RAM installed.
I recently had a 1 TB hard disc installed at the Apple store.

can you preview it? -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
If that works fine and you still have problems boot into safe mode and try again

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto to my desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file across?

I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

Hi! i need to transfer from mac iCloud contacts info to galaxy note3. how do i do it? Thanks

If the Galaxy allows importing from vCards files....
You can export your contacts - go to the Contacts page at icloud.com (use computer's browser), click the top contact to select it then shift-click the bottom one to select all. Click the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.
