Lightroom :: Not Recognizing IPhoto Subdirectory / No Photos To Import
Feb 3, 2013
I currently use iphoto and have all of my photos on an external hard drive. When I hit import it the program seems to recognize my external hard drive but does not seem to recognize the iphoto subdirectory and therefore shows that there are no photos to import.
Do i need to select some setting somewhere to recognize photos in iphoto?
How can I get to my photos that are in the iPhoto Library to import them into Lr5? Clicking on the library opens iPhoto. I no longer want to use iPhoto.
When I press IMPORT in Lr4.2, a choice of accounts and sources appears: I press Applications under Mac HD, some apps, like iWork and Documents appear, but not iPhoto. When I try to export JPEGS from iPhoto, a sign appears saying there is not enough disk space to export.
I've got Photoshop Elements 6 on my iMac desktop running OS X 10.7.4. When I click on File>Open in PE6, my iMac Finder opens. I then select Photos and all my iPhoto and Photo Booth files open. But I cannot click on (well, I can click on them but nothing happens) any photo to pull it into PE6. It seems a simple operation, but apparently not for me!
Is there a way to only import a few photos from iphoto in Elements 11? When I use get photos from iphoto, Elements seems to want to import the entire catalog.
I want to import into the organizer just the most recent iPhoto ppictures. The problem is every time I want to import from iPhoto the system wants to import thousands of photos which I do not need. All I want are the last half-dozen or so shots that I took that's all.
Why can't I open my images in iPhoto to import photos to work with? I tried dragging them in, and I tried opening my iPhoto from the Gimp importer window, nothing seems to work.
I am using adobe elememts 11 on my MAC. Do I need to import my photos from iphoto to the adobe organizer? If not I am having trouble figuring out how to get my photos from Iphoto to use in adobe-.
My Lightroom 4.4 does not recognize my raw format photos files from my Olympus EP-5. It does recognize files from my Canon 5D marc2. I'm using a Mac computer by the way.
I'm trying to import some photos into LR from a camera and I know that there are many photos on the camera that have already been imported. Usually if I choose New Photos LR sees them and doesn't import them, but now it isn't. I started importing them and it started giving the duplicate file names -2 extensions.
Suddenly, after 3 months of easy use, LR5 says it can't import standard JPEG files form my Olympus OMD because it can't read them. But iphoto has no problem and imports them easily. This just started happening out of the blue.
Lightroom does not appear to recognize my pics in the Mac iphoto library. I can import from other folders/files but not directory from iphoto. Likewise I can't export a photo back into iphoto once it has been "developed" in Lightroom.
Do I have to change some preferences or something?
I'd like to import my iphoto library into LR, and I've tried to use the method suggest on this page, when I try to make an alias link to the folder, it doesn’t won't give me the option.
First thing I try to do after loading Lightroom 5 and I am stumped! I cannot import my iPhoto files. I have gone to Finder and attempted to copy my "Masters" file in iPhoto Library. Finder will not allow me to make a copy. I am using iPhoto 11, v9.4.3.
What is the best way to import an event from iPhoto to lightroom as an album? When I go to import the only option I see is every single photo I have in one folder.
I'm trying to transition away from iPhoto to Lightroom. Honestly I've always liked iPhoto. I've found it very easy to use, and the way it organizes photos into "events" is very useful. However, I'll be doing most of my photo work on a PC, so I'm moving over to Lightroom instead.
I have already exported all of my iPhoto library. Each event has its own folder (named after the event), and all the photos have their meta data. Everything is copacetic.
My question is a matter of organization of the photos within Lightroom. In iPhoto, all the events were listed chronologically, and this made it easy to locate what I was looking for. In Lightroom, however, it seems that the way you navigate photos is through the folder list under "Library," which is listed alphabetically instead of chronologically.
I currently have 136 separate folders. So I turn to you for a bit of advice since I am brand new to this program. Any way to organize and browse photos in Lightroom that I don't know about?
I am relatively new to Lightroom 4 and have had some issues with uploading files to a website that I have already exported from lightroom. I have exported many photos from lightroom to my desktop and then brought them into iphoto. I then went to upload some of those photos, now in iphoto to websites like snapfish, etc. to develop prints or make cards. When I upload these photos to the website, they often look poor in comparison when I look at the same image in iphoto.I then emailed myself the same photo and renamed the image. The photo then uploads true to what it looks like in iphoto. Am I not exporting these images correctly?
I have a lot of photos in files and events in iPoto and Aperture. Would like to conso;idate all my photos inLightroom Master Photo file with those files and events as folders.
