Hullo Eugene

I have just read with interest your reply to John. My question for you is at a tangent though.

If iPhoto keeps 3 copies of each photo, is it possible to recall/ reinstate the original (which I assume is "hidden" somewhere in the depths of my Mac?

I hate to admit it, but when I first began working with iPhoto over 18 months ago, I did not always keep my original photo and then edit a copy of that photo. (I do now). So, what has happened is that occasionally iPhoto has not given me the results that I have been after - e.g. iPhoto does not do such a great job with red-eye.

Now quite a few of my photos have badly edited red-eyes and my subjects appear to be wearing a lot of badly applied eye-shadow.

Is there a way of reinstating the originals into iPhoto so that I can re-work with them?

Thanks to anyone who can assist with this,

Peta

Hi John,

the iPhoto library folder on your computer does keep 3 copies of the photo. The original, the modified version (if you have altered contrast/cropped/ rotated etc the picture) and finally a thumbnail for quick viewing the image.

When you move your picture to an external storage device such as the memory stick you mentioned you usually do this by exporting the image from iPhoto or simply drag it from iPhoto. This will place only one file (image) on your memory stick.

The only way you would have all 3 files on your memory stick that I can think of is if you dragged the whole iPhoto library to you memory stick.

Hi Wamuggers
I †ook a memory stick into Cameraland to print from iPhoto shots. They told me that iPhoto creates 3 copies of each image in small, medium and full resolution. Therefore they were unable to identify on their server which copy to print. The person who explained it to me has some knowledge of Mac stuff.

Can anyone confirm  that this is what happens?
Cheers
John
