Move from Mac to PC/Windows 7: How can I move my iPhoto library on PowerPC Mac to a Windows 7 PC?
I'm a Mac... soon to a PC? My Apple iBook G4 is in need of a replacement, and I think to move to a Windows 7 laptop. There is virtually no information online about the passage of a Mac to PC. Given all the ads of MSFT, I expected more help.
My main concern is transfer my photos easily without having to reorganize everything. I currently use iPhoto and there is no version for the PC. I'd appreciate any help advice with this process. Is there a good program similar to iPhoto, which is recommended?
More tips or advice on failover in general would be also greatly appreciated.
After importation, Windows Live Photo Gallery will recognize the organizational structure that iPhoto had or will I have to create new folders and spend time re-organizing?
Unfortunately, you will need to spend some time of reorganization. If you have metadata attached to photos, Windows Live Photo Gallery will recognize it. If you have currently organized in folders in OS X, it will make the organization process much easier to copy them into the images folder in Windows 7 and they will be automatically entered in the photo library.

Sorry if this has been asked several times before, I looked but could not find an answer to my specific questions...
Currently, I keep my iPhoto on two different Macs library by periodically copy the package to the main computer entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then loading into iPhoto on the second machine.
The problem is that it takes a lot of time and I find myself doing less, which means that I am often without recent photos I want to join the second Mac. Is there a way to copy only the new pictures/videos added since the last copy was made on the hard drive, which I can then add to the library on the second machine without replacing the entire library?
I was wondering if it was possible to use the software of incremental backup to backup on the external drive that I could then use to update the second mac. In this case would be that I have to replace the entire library on the second mac every time, but at least it would be a faster process that also copy entire library since the first mac in the first place.
Or I can just select the most recent photos and videos in iPhoto and batch export via the external hard drive to the second mac? I think I read that this is not copy all information such as good changes? Or am I wrong?
If none of this is possible in the way that I'm demanding, could someone suggest an alternative photo storage software for Mac that I can have more control on?
Yes, you can use an incremental backup or clone (like Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper) program for updating the second library - this will not libraries merge in order to not do that is you make changes to the second library on this machine - it only makes library 2 exactly as 1 library each time that you run

In the toolbar on the left, click on the face of color and see the view from the RGB color space. How can I put them in CMYK?
German:
In der Werkzeugleiste klicke auf Farbflache und den RGB-Farbraumansicht sehe ich. Stelle wie ich sharp in CMYK um?
Color picker, if that's what you mean (it opens if you double-click the color proxy) is still in RGB in InDesign, but if you place the cursor in one of the fields of CMYK value, add swatch button will change to add CMYK Swatch.
Personally, I like the color picker and use the color Panel instead.

How can I share models of library with my colleagues? This happens automatically when we are in the same group?
Hello jasmine,
If you set authorization as a 'Display to users in the group' or 'Show users into account', then they would be able to view the shared model. But, if the permission is set "just for me", then only you would be able to view the model.
Kind regards

How can I set up for printing to Adobe
So far, it is not necessary for a person no-tech.
