photos from iPhoto import photos

Upgrade to El Capitan, all of my photos in iPhoto doesn't import it to Photos (only a 70 random 16 000 imported photos) and I can't seem to import manually as 'iPhoto Library' is grayed out when I try to import. All photos (16,000) are saved on an external drive. How can I get the Photo to read photos iPhoto from the external drive?

You can have more than one iPhoto library. Normally, when the photo is launched, it assumes that your main iPhoto library is on the boot volume, in your pictures folder.

Check the size of the PhotosLibrary file created in your users > your account > pictures folder. Move it out (you can remove it later). Pictures of launch with down option, select the main iPhoto library to migrate. Give it time, it is a slow process.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Cannot import photos from iPhoto to 9 elements Organizer

    I am organizing running 9 items on my MacBook Pro. When I run the command file/Get pictures and videos / iPhoto, I get the error message, "there no media to import from iPhoto. In fact, I have thousands of photos in iPhoto that I would like to import Organizer so that I can edit them in Elements 9.

    I can also edit pictures in the elements placing him as default editor in iPhoto. When I do that, it opens items but does not open the photo in iPhoto.

    When I do that, it opens items but does not open the photo in iPhoto.

    This usually means that you have chosen the wrong file as the external editor. In PSE 9, you want than this one. The other is an alias for the home screen and choose one causes the behavior you described:

  • How to add photos from iphoto to imovie

    I want to create a slideshow of paintings with a musical background. My 'paintings' is as JPEGs into iPhoto, and my music track is in Garage Band or iTunes. When I go to iMovie to start a project, it shows not possible to import photos from iphoto, but only these photos taken using "photo booth".

    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

    If you click windows, and then click OK for Media you should find the iPhoto library under library.  You can then open an event and select a photo.

  • Photo duplication of photos from Iphoto? (Events/albums)

    Hello

    Yesterday I upgraded my Macbook pro to El Capitan, my main concern was and is still, the migration to photos from Iphoto, given that my library is 200 GB +. So far, that the migration seemed to work very well, but I worried amb a little overlap.

    In Iphoto, I had all my photos in events and I also made albums selection of photos of these events, I was convinced that the pictures on these albums were not duplications and that Iphoto created somehow links to original photos into events.

    Now that I've migrated to the Photo, so my old albums and my events appear under the same albums category. Therefore, I have the albums I created and another folder called Iphoto events, which is also an album. Does this mean that the photos in the albums I created with Iphoto are duplicated and taking a double space in my SSD? Thank you

    Gerard

    both my old albums and my events appear under the same albums category. Therefore, I have the albums I created and another folder called Iphoto events, which is also an album. Does this mean that the photos in the albums I created with Iphoto are duplicated and taking a double space in my SSD? Thank you

    Everything you see in the section Album do not duplicate photos and more storage.

    Photos does not all events, so migration created albums of events as the note for you, how your events had been grouped and named. But all the photos in the folder "iPhoto events" are just standard albums and using the photos already in the library.

    Pictures uses 'moments' to partition the library rather than events.  Each photo that you import will appear in just a moment. You have only the duplicates, if you see the same photo twice in the library, and the second version has a different file name.

  • understand the flow of photos from iPhoto library photos vs vs

    I just transfer a bunch of photos from an external hard drive in my iPhoto library.  I created several new Albums right here.  The problem is that my photos are not displayed when I click on the Photos icon on my menu bar.  Also new albums and photos will appear not on my iPad via the photo stream.  I don't understand how the 3things: I picture library, photos, photo stream, work-sharing app.  How to do all of my albums (and the photos in these albums) duplicate in all (or appear to) all my devices?

    Migrating from iPhoto to a Photos library library affects only the photos in the iPhoto library in time. Photos and albums added to the iPhoto library after that will be in the iPhoto library unless you also import the photos into your photo library and set and fill albums.

    Albums are not spread through my photo stream, only by iCloud photo library.

    The new model is of approximately:

    * Use only the Photos app and the library of Photos on your Mac (s). After the initial migration, ignore iPhoto and its library.

    * Use iCloud photo library as the repository ignoring my photo stream unless you have devices that don't support icloud photo library (for most older iPods). You may need to increase your storage plan iCloud to organize all your photos and videos.

    * Use the Photos app on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s) with iCloud as library active. Again, my photo stream is necessary only if you have devices that don't support icloud photo library. You can use the option "optimize storage' to save the storage space on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s).

  • How do you get your photos from iPhoto into Photoshop?  I'm just duumb

    How can I move my photos from iPhoto to Photoshop?  I feel really stupid right now.

    Hi Gramo5,

    Please follow the steps below.

    1. In the Finder, go to your package of iPhoto file. By default, it is located in /Users/[username]/ pictures and it is called iPhoto library.

    2. Control-click the iPhoto library file and choose show package content.

    3. Control-click on the folder named Masters and choose duplicate.

    4. Do drag the folder named "copy of masters' window of the library Finder iPhoto on your desktop and then you can import pictures into Photoshop from the desktop.

  • How can I access Photoshop elements 9 organizer of iMac Apple Dock & move all photos from iPhoto

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 9 to change my digital photos from iPhoto.  I found using both these confusing applications and decided to only use Photoshop Elements 9 to edit and organize my photos.  Right now I can only access the editor of Photoshop Elements 9 of my iMac Apple Dock.  How can I access all the features of Photoshop Elements 9 of my iMac Apple Dock?  Should what steps I follow to move all of them now organized in iPhoto in the Photoshop elements 9 multimedia?

    The next time that you start the Organizer, go in the Dock, click on more and hold its icon there and go to options more > keep in dock.

    To copy your photos from iphoto, go to file > import from iphoto. This will duplicate your photos, however.

    What has changed since they were here?

    Given virtually no details the best guess is that you have several libraries of liPhoto - hold down the option key when launching iPhoto and see how many libraries are there in the window that appears choose library - test each of them to see what it contains
