sorry about my english

What language are you using? Could you try English?

My english is not as good as it could be.
It is the fourth language I learned in school.
I am better in French, German or Luxemburgish.
After living 5 years in France my english did not improve either.

I have another question about iphoto tough.
After retouching images in photoshop they look really different in iphoto than in photoshop. I convert the images to CYMK and I retouch the levels so the whole image is levelled out. When I send those pictures to the publisher they come out well.
In iphoto they look overcontrasted and a little greenish. Anyone else experience this?

I know these and I currently use Galerie which is really great. But still. Why can't I make it directly from iPhoto. It has the functionality built in but they want me to purchase .Mac.

You don't need a .mac account to use the web page export from iPhoto. I used to use it.

But its not that good for work.

What I usually do, I upload my photos trough image capture, its really fast as well. Then I look at them in Nikon view and in edit in photoshop.And save the new ones in another folder with the same name only called edit.
The thing is when I edit I like to keep the original.
You never know when you touch up pictures you might want to return to the original in case you want to lower contrast. level ect. When you do that on an already retouched photo, its just gets worse.

If I want to find those pictures in iphoto trough the folder its really hard to find them. Guess I just like to know where my stuff is.

Does the 'revert to original' option not work when you edit with photoshop? I only use the built in iphoto editing functionality and I can revert to the original at any time without ever having to worry about keeping a copy.

your english is fine... no need to be apologetic.

let's not forget that this forum is full of international members and respect/appreciate that fact - they provide different takes and new perspectives, coming from different cultures.

when we (americans) travel abroad, we are usually very well accomodated by knowing just english. let's extend the same courtesy to others. it's one thing to complain about excessive run-on sentences and awful spellings by clearly native english speakers who should know better. it's quite another to make foreign members feel uneasy because english is their third or fourth language.

btw, english is near native language for me. and here at MR, i don't bother with capitalizing much. i guess it's just a style carrying over from IMing. still readable, right? ;)
 
i is for information?

Sheesh - I really hate the fact that I can't do really stretches and loops and drop the beats and put flanges and filters and echo and bounce effects on my music with iTunes! I have to fire up another editing app before I can do anything!

Man, get with the program Apple! What a PoS!

Now, that sounds pretty dumb, right? Why? Because iTunes (as we all know) is a MUSIC CATALOGUING AND PLAYING APP. It's not built to edit your songs, right? It's got some basic "editing" stuff like crossfade and the ability to alter volume and crop the tracks, but it's not going to make you Grooverider.

So, what's this got to do with iPhoto? It's the same thing - iPhoto is to images what iTunes is to music - it's for CATALOGUING AND VIEWING. Those who are railing on its dearth of image editing capabilities and turning the hate up on its rather dictatorial file handling are missing the point. iPhoto ISN'T FOR EDITING YOUR IMAGES - it's for ORGANISING THEM, and occassionally maybe doing a quick fix before you whack on a slideshow for your folks - just like iTunes.

Why do you think you can set it up to double click an image and open it in an external editor?

Blurring? Where? What do you think PhotoShop does when you open an image? Most people aren't going to want to zoom in to see Aunt Petunia's wart, but if they do then yes - instead of four pixels of brown, they'll see four fuzzy pixels of brown. These people are not proofers. They're not pros. If they are, they'll have Photoshop and should be using that.

Use the app for what it is, and it's a dream. Try to pretend it's something it's not, and it'll disappoint.

Sorry for the rant, but really - what do you expect for $10?

RTFM

Did something happen to the download?

The update doesn't show up in the Apple software updater, on the Apple list of OS X software at Apple.com and the download link on the actual page for the update doesn't work. It generates an Apple page with an error message.

Anyone know?

I just noticed that as well (8/3/04 at 8:35pm eastern). It's not in my Software Update (admittedly, I didn't check it until just now, so I don't know if it was there before or not...but it should have been as I'm up to date on everything). Maybe they yanked it.
 
thats weird, it doesnt show up in software update. . . . and the link on apple's web site goes to nothing . . . odd

. . . and i see im not the only one with this problem :)

me too. It doesn't show up in my software update. . . and even the link on the Apple Support website is broken. Looks like the update has been pulled!
 
I can't be sure, but there may be a reason why they pulled it.

After installing the update on my Powermac G4, with an extra internal hard drive, my system got hosed.

The finder showed the extra internal hard drive as having 0 items, but listen "12GB" free.. indicating that my data was still on it.

I restarted, and got a "prohibitory sign". Zapped the PRAM per apple support page instructions, and it rebooted fine. At this point, the extra drive was not even listed in the finder.

Restarted again. Prohibitory sign. Zapping PRAM didn't work. Took 11 tries to get it to start from the Install Disc (got kernel panics half the time). Finally got it to start up from the Install Disc and do an archive/install (in the process right now). Reinstalled Disc 1, then was forced to restart. However, got the prohibitory sign AGAIN, so I could never get to Disc 2 to finish installation. I tried an Erase and Install, but had the exact same problem... could never get to Disc 2. So now I've erased the primary hard drive completely in Disk Utility and am trying to install it fresh.

I can't be sure it was the iPhoto update... but SOMETHING had to fiddle with system files, and it is certainly nothing I did, and the ONLY thing I have installed in the past few weeks was that iPhoto update today.

Not strictly true. Have you checked out Picasa (www.picasa.com). iPhoto isn't free (if like me you have an old Mac and upgraded your iLife suite). However, Picasa is - it has a good interface, it scans and gets all your photos (and doesn't re-organise your files in the process), it's performance is pretty good (better than iPhoto), offers some novel features (such as a timeline interface to your library). (it's also now owned by Google).

To be honest, if they did an OS X version, I'd probably use it in preference to iPhoto but I guess they saw no point.

I think the timeline feature would be a nice inclusion in the next version of iPhoto.

Wow! Yeah - I gotta agree, I'd never seen it before, but Picasa is one hot app. I will be installing it on all the computers at work. And yeah, I'd prob use it in preference to iPhoto if there was a Mac version.
 
now im scared of that update, but i guess since things have been running smoothly i should be in the clear
 
Stupid thing won't let me quit it now

Have to force quit everytime

It worked fine before

Wankers

Thanks for letting me know about this feature! I really need to use it! Maybe I should play around in iPhoto more. :)

And belair, there's nothing wrong with your English. You speak it better than some people that I know.
 
This isn't the first time apple pulls an update back ;P well, I downloaded it already and have had no problems so far.. I haven't been using it much though -- and I haven't ordered book(s), in which this update should especially affect.

word.
 
My digital camera takes small 30 sec movies (I'm sure most do). Can iPhoto handle this? I've tried using it but I don't think it stores movies :(

I rely on Adobe Photo Album or whatever it's called on the PC.

iMovie will handle it fine once you have bought it down using proprietry software ( Imagebrowser ) or IIRC image capture...
 
So apple have pulled the update, I think I ill avoid running iPhoto if I can until a fix comes out. Does anyone know more about why it has been pulled? all I have heard about is the very long time it takes to quit.

How ?

If I try it iPhoto says: failed connecting to .Mac !

So - how are you doing it ? Guess I missed something in the settings, but I don't think so.

Cheers
 
He means simple web export ...
