Why is iPhoto6 creating a duplicate in the modified folder

So, I just installed iLife 06 on a fresh new system and have noticed some strange behavior. Using the import option, I imported my original photos from my old system. For whatever reason iLife06 is acting strange. It is creating duplicate copies of pictures that I took while turning the camera vertically. Both of these pictures in the originals folder and modified folder are identical. If i try to revert to original in iphoto, the photo will go away and then come back. So, my question is what is iPhoto doing?

iPhoto is saving a copy of the rotated image into the Modified folder. Although it may look the same as the Original from the Finder, it's actually different.
The "Original" has all the bits in a landscape orientation with a TIFF Orientation flag set, which causes programs that understand that flag (like Finder) to show them rotated.
The "Modified" one has all the bits in a portrait (rotated) orientation with the TIFF Orientation flag not set.
Yes, it's a subtle difference, and for most programs it won't matter. A few programs don't understand the TIFF flag, so would need the "Modified" copy to show it correctly.
In any case, for better or worse, iPhoto has always done this. It used to be a background operation whenever you rotated in iPhoto. With iPhoto 6, this happens during import instead of later in the background.

Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.

How to upload photos from the modified folder?

I'm modifying my photos in photoshop CS3(which now is no more an option to open my photos for editing from Iphoto, why?).
Once modified, they live in the modified folder in a folder I created, they are not visible in the menu located in the left side of IPhoto viewer.
So how am I uploading this photos on my .mac website.
Please advice, thank you
Caril

Caril:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I'm modifying my photos in photoshop CS3(which now is no more an option to open my photos for editing from Iphoto, why?).
That's because you're probably saving the edits incorrectly.
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
So to recover those edited photos from the Modified folder you'll need to open the library package like shown here. Then very carefully locate those files and copy them to the desktop. The reason I said copy is to make sure you don't accidently move the wrong file to the desktop and thus damage the library. If you're absolutely sure you have the correct edited file then you can move it to the desktop instead of copy. But do so at your own risk.
Happy New Year
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.

Replacing photo in the Modified folder with one modified in another editor

First I'd like to thank Terence and Old Toad for getting me this far with my problem. So here are the gory details: I shoot my pictures in the RAW format with a Pentax K-X and then manage & edit them in iPhoto. When iPhoto converts many of the indoor (no flash) pictures, the jpgs are much darker than the .dng pictures from which they were created. In another discussion, I discovered that a camera setting was to blame for the darker jpegs but now I have to go back and fix the pictures I already imported.
If I send the jpeg to Photoshop Elements or another editor, it's still nearly impossible to get the color right. If I send the RAW image, however, I can create a proper jpeg, but then I'm stuck with saving it as a new file and reimporting it. For each picture I fix, I'll have 1 RAW image and the jpeg that iPhoto creates and 2 new jpegs from editing the RAW image in the external editor.
I've read enough discussions to know that as tempting as it is to do, thou shalt not touch the iPhoto Library. That said, is there any way to have iPhoto associate the externally created jpeg with the original RAW file?
Message was edited by: pfgroff

Thanks TD for the suggestion. I made the switch but iPhoto wouldn't pick up the changes. I rebuilt the thumbnails by holding cmd+alt at start-up and that seemed to work until I double-clicked the image. Then I'd see the old darker image I thought I replaced. Even when I look in the finder at the image, the new one is in the Modified folder, but iPhoto is really committed to showing the old one. As there is no clean way to achieve what I'm trying to do, I've resorted to hiding the original so I can keep the raw image. I still have 4 copies for 1 image, but the library at least looks a little cleaner.
Thanks again for your reply.

IPhoto and the Modified Folder

Hello,
I do NOT modify any of original pictures and yet I have a whoppingly large (52 gb!) modified folder. I do use iPhoto to upload my pictures onto my facebook. Is iPhoto modifying the originals and uploading it into facebook, and thus creating items into my modified folder? Since it's so large of a file, I'd like to deleted the modified folder, but I don't want to lose said photos on Facebook. If I deleted it, would anything happen to my Facebook photos that I uploaded? I am using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 (424) and OS 10.6.8
Thanks!

Usual reasons for unexpected images in the Modifieds folder include:
1. You're importing Raws. Iphoto creates a Jpeg preview of each Raw on import.
2. You're importing Jpegs with Exif tags such as Auto-Rotate. A camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata. When you import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it - email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. So if you used the shot in a word processing doc, uploaded it to many Web site etc, the shot would come out sideways.
And
I've actually done it before. I moved my originals folder somewhere else and nothing happened to my library.
If you did that then your library is a mess and that may be part of the issue - you simply can not change the contents of the library withou causin gissues

Why does PE7 create a duplicate still image file

I loaded PE7 and it located my Photoshop element calalog. That was fine however PE7 created duplicate or edited files. Not good when you photoshop elements catalog contains 20 thousands pictures. Is there a way to prevent PE7 from creating a duplicate still image. I had to delete the catalog and start over/

I've never seen or heard of this, md, and I don't know any reason this would happen.
Since this is a Photoshop Elements problem, I'd recommend you try posting your question to the Photoshop Elements forum and see if someone there can help you.

Saving photos to the web by creating events. Called the destination folder does not exist.

Hello,
I ask you for advice (assistance). A week ago I re-installed the PC and installed to the computer again Photoshop CS5. Everything works for me except for the function of storing images for web by creating events. Called me constantly destination folder does not exist. The problem I had before. I ask you this advice on how to solve this problem.
Thanks for the advice

hi,
i don't know if i integrate your code correctly, but it doens't work for me. I presently create skin for client and this plugin is really usefull for me.
i use win7 64bit home edition, and photoshop cs5
there is how i integrate this :
// EDIT ALEX GRENIER
function getPreferencesFolder() {
     var userData = Folder.userData;
     if (!userData || !userData.exists) {
          userData = Folder("~");
     var folder = new Folder(userData + "/xtools");
     if (!folder.exists) {
          folder.create();
     return folder;
function exportChildren(dupObj, orgObj, dupDocRef, folder) {
if (getCSVersion() >= 10) // CS3 Only
     // Create assets folder in Flex app's directory
     // var tempFolder;
     // tempFolder = new Folder (folder + "/assets/");
     // tempFolder.create();
     // EDIT ALEX GRENIER
     var tempFolder;
     tempFolder = getPreferencesFolder();
i put the code creating the folder in comment and put your code in place, i also put your function before the function creating file.
With the base code (without modification) photoshop is able to create my folder assets, but when it try to export the png, it export nothing, so i have a empty folder.
thank you,
Alex

Sending email leaves duplicates in the Draft Folder

When I am sending particularly large email messages, the email gets sent, but for some reason a duplicate of the message gets left in the Drafts Folder. So now I have the same email that I had just sent in the Drafts Folder and in the Sent Folder. So then I have to manually trash the message in the Drafts Folder.
This does not seem right. In the past the message in the Drafts folder has always deleted itself as soon as the email has been sent.

The last one that exhibited this behavior contained two photos that added up to 4.6MB.
But the size factor does not seem to enter in since the messages sailed out as they normally do complete with the Zooom sound that is assigned leaving behind the complete message sitting in both the Sent and Drafts folders. This leaves me with the housecleaning task of selecting the message in the Drafts folder and clicking the trash can.
It should be noted that the last time I did this, the deleted message re-appeared the next day in my Trash as a recovered file. It is like the cat that keeps coming back...

I have 8000 photos in my iPhoto library. Many are duplicated in the "Pictures" folder in the Finder. Is there an easy way to detect and delete duplicates in the "Pictures" folder?

Anyone know how to detect and delete duplicate photo files that exist in the Pictures folder in the Finder that are also in the iPhoto library?

There's no way to compare the photos in the library with those outside the library. However, as long as you're running a "managed" library
You can import batches of the photos, i.e by folder, into the library. If the photo is already in the library you will be given this notice:
Check that checkbox and clik on the Don't Import button. When that folder is finished importing (or not) delete it and go to the next.
If you need to check for duplicates in the library you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.

Why do I have to go to the parent folder because the tag doesn't work?

If I click on a Tag, which has the identical URL (Tag "Location") to what resides in the Parent Folder it will not access the website. However, if I go to the Parent Folder and click on the Bookmark the website can be accessed. The URLs were copied and pasted so there is no issue as far as the URL is concerned.
It seems as though something interferes or differs when using a Tag. Sometimes I've tried recopying the URL as displayed on the website and re-pasting it in the Tag Location (URL). That works but only on a temporary basis. The next time I access the Tag I can't connect to the website.
Is this a website issue, or a browser issue? Can a website know that a Firefox user is using a Tag to access it and won't allow access, but will if access is done through the Parent Folder?

The "Parent Folder" is an add-on. Browse Add-ons and you'll find it. If you don't have it, add it. It has been a worthwhile addition. What it allows is to right click on a tag. A drop-down menu appears that say, "Go Parent Folder".
This has been enormously helpful in organizing and being able to find stored Bookmarks, especially if you've got a lot of them.
But something seems to be happening more regularly. When trying to open a website using a Tag it will time-out. It takes many tries to connect, but if you "Go Parent Folder" to where the Bookmark is actually stored the website usually opens immediately. Since both the Tag and the Bookmark appear to contain the same URL to be accessed it appears that something is happening with the Go Parent Folder Add-on or the interaction with the Tag and the Bookmark that won't allow connection to the website.
I'm no programmer, but this is where I'd look to try and identify the problem. I'm currently using Windows 8.1 and this seemed less frequent before I gravitated from Windows XP Pro. Many of these links I've had going back to Windows 2000 Pro.
I hope I've answered your question. This has become so annoying that I decided to take the time to comment about it.

Where is the modified folder?

I cannot figure out where my modified photos go in iphoto. I edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements, save with new names and they are SUPPOSED to be in a Modified folder in my library.
I know this because If I reopen in Adobe PE and look at file info, I see the path as users/myname/pictures/iphoto library/modified/2009/foldername.
BUT if I go to iPhoto I do not see any file folder called "Modified". I can find the original folder containing the original photos, but no sign of the edited/modified photos. nor do I see any evidence of any Modified folders anywhere
HELP! I'm about ready to quit using iPhoto. it is NOT an intuitive program at all.
HELP!.

Here's some info on using PSE as the editor of choice from within iPhoto. This does not apply to editing RAW files.
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.

This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
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).

Why can't created an object in the "public static void main(String args[])"

Example:
public Class Exp {
public static void main(String args[])
new Exp2();-------------> To Occur Error
Class Exp2 {
public Exp2()

You can't create an inner class within main, because
it is a static method. Inner classes can only be
created by true class methods.This is not correct. You can create an inner class object in a static method. You just have to specify an outer class object that the inner class object should be created within:
Exp2 exp2 = new Exp().new Exp2();
