Import photos from a different library Mac

On a recent trip, I took a lot of pictures, I've downloaded from time to time at my MBAir (photo library), where I removed some and edit others using Photos and other extension applications.

Now I'm at home, I would like to move everything in my main photo library on the iMac with, of course, the edited versions.

I do not have a complete icloud account I have too many pictures of pay for storage (> 150 GB).

I tried to select the photos and drag them to a folder on a hard drive and tried to export relevant files of the pictures on the hard drive. In both cases the pictures lose quality 6 MB photos are reduced to 1.5 to 2 MB.

What is the best way to get them in my library of photos on the iMac in full size and all while keeping the changes already made?

Subsidiary question: if I do that my camera SD card will recognize photos that have already been imported and only import new ones? If this isn't the case, I can select those that were not imported on the MBAir.

I don't want to import all the photos in my camera and go through the process of deletion and editing these photos that have already been made.

Thank you very much for your ideas.

In both cases the pictures lose quality 6 MB photos are reduced to 1.5 to 2 MB.

How did you write pictures in file transfer?

Do not drag and drop them from the browser to a folder. This will only export previews.

Select photos and click on "file > export > export photos..." and make sure that the quality parameters are set to a high value.  And set the 'Size' to 'Full SIze'.

  • Import photos from 6s iPhone to Mac

    If I import film of 6 of my iPhone in the Photos of my Mac app, shouldn't these pictures already be in the Photos app if I enabled the iCloud photo library?

    If you have iCloud library enabled on the iPhone and the Mac, Yes, all photos must transfer icloud library of Photos for Mac via the network.  The download may take some time, and you need a Wi - Fi connection.

    See: iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    When you turn on iCloud photo library on your Mac or iOS device, your photos and videos will download once you connect to the Internet with a Wi - Fi connection and your battery is charged. You can see the status and pause the download for a day, when you do the following:

    • On your iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos.
    • On your Mac, click on Photos > Preferences > iCloud.

    Depending on your Internet connection speed, the time it takes for your photos and videos to appear on the Photos app on iCloud and all your devices can vary. Make sure you put on iCloud photo library on each device.

    You need only to upload photos via the USB connection, if you do not have access to Wi - Fi for long periods.

    Why do you ask?  Are pictures showing as news, that are already on your Mac?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer to the device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

  • How to locate import photo button in the library?

    I set up the new computer yesterday (so am new to Windows 8), has been able to import photos from the camera to the image library with no problem to find the import button.  Today photo import button doesn't seem to be there.  Now when I try to import images from the camera they go automatically to a program called Power DVD.  I want to save the pictures in the pictures library but can't seem to get there.  Thought maybe I could copy of PowerDVD & then save in the picture library, but could not find a way to do it.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Looks like that PowerDVD has diverted from your settings for images.

    To go back as it was, do the following:

    1. On your screen, type the word AutoPlay (you will see search results appear as you type)
    2. Choose the AutoPlay settings, then change to use the Photos App instead of powerdvd when you connect your camera.
  • I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

    I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

    The Collections are stored in the LR catalog. If you had previously copied to your catalog on the other computer to the new all your collections would have been there.

    Now that you have the images on the new computer, 'IF', they were placed in the same folder structure (IE even the folder names and locations) then copy through the original catalogue "should" include your collections. If they are in the names of different folder or on a different drive letter or name of the player, then you might be able to use the feature to locate Images to find them.

  • Problem importing photos from camera to Lightroom

    I have creative cloud for photographers, it s installed on my iMac and my MacBook Air. I use Lightroom to import photos from the camera. A few days ago I wanted to import photos on the MacBook, but after a while everything stopped, no photos have been imported, and after waiting a while, I gave up. Tried again after a while but then received the message that read files couldn t. It worried me a lot because I was afraid the memory card may have been damaged, but I tried to import photos to the iMac instead, and it was no problem. After that I tried to import more photos from different cameras for the MacBook, but nothing works. The iMac - no problem. I tried to uninstall Lightroom, but it has not been possible. In the creative app cloud, it is possible to uninstall Photoshop, no problem, but with Lightroom, it says "cannot be uninstalled" - on the iMac and MacBook.

    Since I travel a lot in a few days, it s essential to own a Lightroom running on my MacBook. I usually import photos from the device several times a day, so without a LR that works, it will be much more difficult...

    Any help will be very appreciated!

    Now, I need to check the destination folder...

    You need to determine the destination folder that is defined in the Lightroom Import dialog box (which can be only the folder that it is), then check the permissions on this folder.

  • How can I use iPhoto importing photos from card reader?

    Aloha all, I really prefer to use iPhoto, or opening when importing photos from card, but Photos opens whenever I put in my camera card. In the preferences of the Photo, the choice to select what app to use when importing is gray. How can I make iPhoto, or even simply to capture Image open rather than Photos? I put iPhoto preferences to do this, but it seems pictures somehow overrides it. Tips, tips out there? Mahalo

    Try to set the default application to open the General preferences in iPhoto window:

    Do you know that iPhoto is no longer supported by Apple print shops so that all projects must be created and controls through Photos?  Just a heads-up.

    If the above does not work, you can kill all apps to open when a camera is connected with the following command in the Terminal application, posted by JadedEye:

    Re: Prevent DEFINITELY the Photos to open automatically

    in response to leonie

    OK, it worked for me on El Cap

    Open a terminal window

    Type the following in the terminal and press enter

    defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

    (followed by the return key or enter - ed)

    The exit of the terminal.

    Photos will run if you run, but it will not autolaunch on each connection to a camera or the card or reformatted the card.

    If you want to return Photos auto-launch almost everything, use the same command change YES no

    This correction has set my workflow back to normal without Photos of gd lance all the time.

    You must then manually run the application that you want to use with the memory card or camera.
