Export from Iphoto

When you export from iphoto, image quality should be medium, large, or maximum?  Want quality photos, but can say exporting the process will take some time.  Imagine the import to lightroom 5 will take a lot of time, too.  At 40 000 photos.

I don't know anything about iPhoto. I use a PC for more than 30 years and have no desire to spend. But if iPhoto is something like Lightroom, your original images should be there in their native resolution (size of origin for example). And they should be in a folder somewhere on your computer. Photos are never really 'in' Lightroom. The import process shows just Lightroom where images. If this is the case with iPhoto, so all you have to do is import these files directly where they are now. They will not be moved or altered in any way. You can only access them with Lightroom.

How I use Lightroom, it's that I use to maintain and edit the images of my Masters. I use it for my images as well the navigation. Sometimes I find I want to make a change. And I only have a picture of a worrying. If I decide I want to have one of these printed images then I will export a copy with the appropriate parameters to provide the quality that I expect. The same with e-mail, or posted on Facebook, to create a book, etc.. All copies are created from this master image that is used for any purpose, they were created, and then they are ignored. I have need them more because I still have the master image. If, in the future, I find it necessary to make changes, I have that image of a worry. That's how I like to work with Lightroom. If you want to try to keep multiple copies, then you will need to design a workflow that will accelerate this doing.

An exception to the workflow that I pointed out, is that sometimes I'll have a bunch of photos I want to use in a slideshow. Personally, I don't like to use the slide show feature in Lightroom, but prefer instead to use Faststone Viewer or other similar software. For the case I will export JPEG copies in a separate folder. But I have still that the image of the one master that I'm worried about changes in the future.

  • Export from iPhoto files created a monster

    I'm on an old iMac 2008 Yosemite operation and loading of the LR4.  I'm transferring my files from iPhoto to LR and exported successfully to iPhoto (now ' Photo') of files in a folder that LR can recognize (although I'm not sure that I could do it again!).  The 2 problems are:

    (1) export created several versions of many images in files with size varying from double-digit KB to double digit MG; and

    (2) with the 'faces' in iPhoto, individual photos function face presented as individual files, for example, if I had a single image with 10 people in it, I found myself at least 11 files - the original, and a file of each face on the photo!  Therefore, my "Export iPhoto" folder is more 13 000 images!  I could try to eliminate some watching them in LR, but they are everywhere and do not show me to those who are the bigger (higher resolution files).

    I tried to go through the folder in the Finder and I cut it down by a 1000 files, but I'm going nuts.  Any suggestions?  Of course, I would prefer to export again and avoid this problem.  Short of that, is there a shortcut can someone suggest to find duplicates in LR and identify which are the best records of resolution?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Chloemann,

    Greetings.

    Not very well how it is related to Lightroom, when the issue is the export of the photos app.

    Or if you have imported the files exported in Lightroom and Lightroom Catalog you have multiple copies of the same files and other similar questions?

    My photos are uploaded on my iMac iPhoto 09.  I am able to export directly to Photoshop Elements ' 06 to edit but when I try to export the photo retouched to iPhoto it goes to images, not iPhoto where I want it to go.  Any suggestions?

    No, this is a limitation of iphoto. The only way to see the original once again in a version of iphoto to define is to lose the edited version back.

  • How to import photos from iPhoto to the Photos without losing the date structure

    Hey there,

    Today, I realized that not all my photos to the Macintosh iPhotos Photos last year. At this point, I'm missing about 700 photos.

    Is it possible to merge the iPhoto to the existing photo library library while keeping the structure of date? I tried just to drag some photos but they then imported as if they were taken today.

    If possible, I want to keep the date structure so that all the photos that were taken at the same time will remain together.

    Export images from iPhoto to the Finder, and then import them to Photos.

    File-> edit

    This trick of the user

    https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-4921

    a details of the options in the export dialog.

    Ignore the file date.

    There are two types of metadata involved considering the jpeg or other image file.

    One is the data file. That's what shows the Finder. That tells you nothing about the content of the file, just the file itself.

    The problem with the metadata file is that it is easy to change the file is moved from one place to another or exported, by electronic mail, downloaded, etc.

    Photographs have also obtained the Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera broken that the photo is saved in the Exif metadata. Without worrying if that said the date of the file, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.

    Applications of photo like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc. get their date and time of the Exif metadata.

    When you export from iPhoto to the new Finder file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The file date is reported - exactly - the date of export.

    However, does not change the Date of the Photo.

    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.

    Thus, your photo has the correct date and the file does, but these are different things. To perform a sort on the date of the Photo, you will need to use a photo app.

  • Import from iPhoto - Meta-data missing?

    I am importing photos from iPhoto in pictures, but it seems that most of the metadata is not transferred.

    The process is to select the file-> import in pictures, select the pictures at the bottom of the left sidebar in the dialog box, choose iPhoto-> events and select an event for import.

    Transfer photos, and that they retain their location data. But the descriptions, tags, and faces are lost.

    Photos had imported the entire iPhoto library originally, but there were a few problems with former segments of the library. (I have not been able to correct some problems, so I am looking to re - import an event at a time, for a couple to organize the reasons and then delete the duplicates) In this import, all the metadata has been chosen. So, it seems possible to import it. But it does not work in this case.

    The media browser does not give you the metadata - select photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder by checking the boxes of metadata you want in the export dialog - export from iPhoto - and then import these images into pictures

    And you never import an iPhoto photo library - you migrate and migration keeps metadata - you only import pictures of libraries

  • Mobile photos from iPhoto to Dreamweaver?

    We use iPhoto with Pixelmator, to process and store pictures of art that we want to display our website. Of course, all the books of reference of Dreamweaver assumes you start with Photoshop.

    Export from iPhoto directly in Dreamweaver is clumsy (thumbnails must be resized, etc.). Probably, we should first export the photos to an Adobe program.

    We want to be able to manipulate photos in different ways, as sometimes certain resizing or cropping, which just overlap a sign 'sold' in the corner of some of the pictures, etc., but don't need to do major editing.

    This would be followed by export of thumbnails and the full pictures to Dreamweaver.

    Which of the many programs Adobe would be best, but also easy to use for tasks?

    Fireworks also has the ability to batch processing.

    The web world is divided between those that Photoshop until they drop and Fireworks enthusiasts. Both programs are excellent, but Fireworks is probably easier to learn if you have never used either.

  • Export to Iphoto from Lightroom 3

    I want to export my photos done for Lightroom to Iphoto to create a slide show for a DVD.  I would use a plug-in or create a pre-series that would allow me to do.  Has anyone created a workflow that works well?

    I'm not familiar with the i-products beyond a flirtation with iPhoto in the early days before moving to Lightroom. Assuming that iDVD needs to get the stills of a collection of iPhoto, which seems reasonable. And I remember iPhoto has the ability to watch a folder and automatically import.

    I guess you could make that a collection of services to publish in Lr if you automatically manage which photos you exported in order to do a movie. However, at the time where iPhoto got his paws on it this could simply confuse Lr. So a simple export to iPhoto is probably easier.

    As to how to get that in iDVD, or if it's the right workflow to make a movie from still images, someone else will have to help with this.

    One thought is that the CIO should not question what it is displayed on a screen. To JPEGs sent to iPhoto, I expect that the DPI setting to be essentially that you can ignore it.

  • Transfer pictures from iPhoto to Photos

    I transferred all my photos in iPhotos pictures when I first put in place. I imported more photos from my iPhone in iPhotos. How can I transfer the of iPhotos Photos?

    You'd better transfer your photos directly in the Photos, when download you them from your iPhone.

    Photos don't have the tools to move photos from an iPhoto library into an already existing photo library.

    Now that the photos in your iPhoto library, export them iPhoto: select all new photos in iPhoto and use the command "file > export". In the export Panel set 'gender' to the 'Original '.

    Then import the photos exported in the Photos app.  Pictures of launch and use "file > import".

    If I bring in photos from Iphoto, I use more disk space on my hard drive. I don't want to replicate my entire file. I have 26000 photo photos in I.

    You need to duplicate pictures unless you want to use the PSE as external editor for iphoto. In iphoto, your photos are stored in a library owner, which should never be marred with programs other than iphoto. Written to the iphoto library from outside iphoto is the best way to corrupt and lose all the photos it contains.

    So you can either set PSE as external editor and send the photos of in iphoto, or you export photos from iphoto to use them outside of this program.

  • How can I move from iPhoto to Lightroom 4 11'

    Hello

    I'm looking to start using Lightroom 4 my primary photo editing and management software and was hoping someone can give me a good idea on how to transfer all my images and import them into Lightroom from iPhoto 2011 (I have about 8 000). My biggest concern is not duplicate my files. I don't have an external hard drive so they will remain on my intern. I did not really any changes of my images with iPhoto, so I am not really concerned by the loss of these changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the net and found really good solutions or advice. Thank you!

    First thing I would do is to save your images. To do this, you will need to go to file > export. Here, the best option to do is choose 'gender' to be 'original '. This allows what you export to be in its original format. When you click Export, a new window will appear so you can chose your destination. As I said earlier, this will allow you to choose a folder that iPhoto will empty all your images in a without maintaining your current orginzation in regards to events, etc.. It's very well because this backup is just in case something goes seriously wrong. I prefer to use an external hard drive. You could make a folder on the internal drive, but this will create a copy of your images.

    Once your backup is complete. The second step is to get all the images in the iPhoto library while trying to keep everything in its current state. The easier and simpler way to proceed is to use Aperture 3. If you do not now, you can download the 30 day trial to be able to do. Its the safest method I found and interesting to use the trial just for that purpose. Even if you decide to buy it later, or even remove the trial version, the photos will be where you move and opening can always refer to them. The first step of this opening technique is to import your iPhoto library in Aperture. You have several options on how to proceed in this way. Fortunately, opening will reflect your iPhoto library in its structure (events, etc.). Whe Aperture is open, click file > import > then select iPhoto library. A dialog box opens and the iPhoto library is highlighted. In this box, you have the option to choose where you want to store the files. By default, 'in their cuurent location' is selected. Leaving it selected, opening will leave in iPhoto Library and simply refer to them. You need to select is "in the Aperture library." This could take a while, but finally all of your iPhoto events will be transferred in to the opening, and you see in the sidebar appear under the projects & Albums in a folder called events, which is located in a folder called iPhoto library. Each "event" from iPhoto will become 'Projects' in Aperture 3 and will have a yellow icon beside the name of each event/project. (At this point, I don't know if the iPhoto library is deleted and moved, or if it's a copy of it. If we make a copy by iPhoto Library is still there, you can simply delete the iPhoto library and it will remove your photos that would now be double sort)

    The next step is to move the masters in Aperture. What this does is actually allows you to move your events of the bundled file Aperture, but with each event/project in its own folder, you do not have to rearrange thousands of images. In the Inspector on the left pane, you will see that you can open the iPhoto Library folder and see the events folder. Open the events folder and you will see a list of all the events/projects. This process is a bit of your time. Start by selecting your first event, and then click file > Masters to plan to move. When the dialog box opens, will give you the opportunity to choose where the folder will be moved. What you can do is select your username under Favorites, select a photo and put it in there (or create a new folder in the pictures). After selecting your destination, you want to chose the Format subfolder and select the name of the project. What this did that create a folder named after your project/event and put all the photos in this case in this new folder. You can see an example of name of file listed at the bottom for you. Once you have that together, you can select move the masters. Opening will move the pictures when you have selected, keeping them in their event/folder and keep a clean organization. You will notice that the move took place, a little tag icon in each image as bottom right, moved his stating that the images are now referenced in Aperture and not a managed master longer.

    We must continue to do this for each project/event, one at a time. Once you're done, you're done. All files will be organized in their respective folders in the location you have chosen. The beauty of it is that they are already referenced in Aperture, and if you want to continue using it, you don't have to do something else. You can leave it there and just keep adding to the opening you take more pictures. Second, you can now import into LR by selecting them where they are, by clicking Add in the LR import menu. Leaving them where they are and the references as well.

    If you want to add the images as well, go opening IPTC data and in the top menu bar, select metadata > write IPTC metadata to the master. You can do it before or after you reposition the masters. But I would before importing to LR.

    It is the method that I used and it was the most successful without losing any of my organization in iPhoto and do not duplicate one of the images. It seems a little complicated, but considering that apple gives you no choice of in iPhoto, it's the safest way to free yourself of their shit. The important thing to remember when referencing these images in Aperture or iPhoto is to never move any file once its in a folder on your site of photos and already referenced by the program. Later if you want to use iPhoto, you can simply import this kind of things once again, leaving in their location and their SEO in Aperture. Which has its limitations as well, but such is life in the world of apples. You have really no other choice.

    The two other options are to use these two programs: iPhoto2Disk (http://www.iphototodisk.com/index.html) or PhotoShare (http://code.google.com/p/phoshare/). The first, iPhoto2Disk cost 12.99 and is supposed to be able to let you export all from iPhoto in its current state. PhotoShare is free, but I haven't personally used it. I felt more record ranging from the road of opening just because I knew that Aperture communicates well with iPhoto and I can easily get aperture to what iPhoto should have been able to do in export.

    I hope this helps everyone!

  • How to add photos from iphoto to imovie
