Filter Photos Prior To iPhoto Import

With the ability to take sooooo many digital photos, you can sometimes wind up with LOTS of images. TONS of images. Sometimes you don't necessarily want to keep all those images forever, and especially not clogging up your iPhoto Library.

Don Frakes over at MacWorld has an article about a product called PhotoWrangler, featured in their GemFest 2009 collection. Check out the article here.

iPhoto: Share Photos With Windows Users

This tip is from Apple's website: How to burn a CD or DVD with pictures for a Windows-based computer LINK

A CD or DVD created in iPhoto using the Burn command in the Share menu cannot be viewed on a Microsoft Windows-based computer or at a photo development lab.

Burn the disc using the Finder instead of iPhoto.

In the Finder, insert a blank CD or DVD. Your disc will show up on your desktop as a Burn Folder (as seen in the images below).



Open iPhoto.

Select the Album(s) you wish to burn to disc.

Choose File > Export.

Click the File Export tab.

Choose a format from the Format pop-up menu.

Note: Depending on the source of the images, you may want to select JPEG to ensure compatibility.

Configure the Size and Name options that you want. Make sure the "Use extension" or "Use filename" option is selected.

Click Export.

Select the Burn Folder you created to save the exported photos to and click OK.

Quit iPhoto when the export has completed.

From your desktop, open your disc's Burn folder and select the "Burn" button (as seen below).

Enhance Images For iPhoto

Datamind Products has released an upgrade to their photo enhancement application Jade. Jade is not a plug-in, but an external application that will work with iPhoto when you configure Jade to edit your photos: open “iPhoto > Preferences…” menu and set Jade in the “Edit photo” popup menu as an external editor.


Then select the photos you want to edit in iPhoto and click the “Edit” button. Jade will start with the selected photos in the gallery.
