Photosweeper wont deleting photos11/29/2023 I have also have an older version of Adobe Photoshop Elements that I have used for years as an alternate editor for photos that were more complicated to edit. I also tried Lyn as a browser, but PM & Mylio are working just as well for me. I don't use it very often and don't keep too many photos there, but it is a nice option for viewing my photos. I signed up for the free version of Mylio, which does not support raw. That is why I still use iPhoto at this point to duplicate and reduce the size of my photos. I use Mylio to watch photos in a slideshow or to view them full screen, however, I found that if I do end up doing any minor editing with Mylio, it strips some of my metadata I added using PM. I import the photo(s) as a way of duplicating the photo(s), then I export them back onto may desktop or into a folder & change the size using preview and then delete the photos from iPhoto so as not to take up extra space on my computer.Īs far as other programs, I have downloaded Mylio as an another browser. To do this, I created a new iPhoto library. The only thing I use iPhoto for now is to duplicate a photo to change the size to post on the web. I was just ready to move to Aperture when that was discontinued. I was not very happy with Apple at first when they stopped supporting iPHoto and Aperture but now that I have moved all of my photos out of iPhoto and have looked at other options, I'm sort of grateful that I was forced to look elsewhere so that I am no longer tied to iPhoto. I also like how easy it is to add metadata to my photos. It also makes it very easy to decide which photos to keep or delete when importing new photos into my computer. I don't really miss iPhoto as a browser as I can view all of my photos from a folder just as easy in PM. I liked PM so much that I ended up buying it in the recent Big Deal sale. All of my master photos from iPhoto were just jpgs. PM lets you rotate the originals so I did not need to save a second copy of these photos. I guess some older digital cameras did not rotate them when importing into iPhoto automatically. During this process, I realized that many of the photos in my edited folders were just photos I rotated. This made it very easy to compare to see which edited photos were worth saving as a duplicate photo. Next, I opened both folders in the same contact sheet (right click drop down) in PM. Then I downloaded the trial of PhotoMechanic (PM) and renamed all of the edits, by adding an E at the end of each jpg as well as adding my metadata at that time for each photo. I wrote about my process in this thread: īottom line, if you ditch the preview folder, you are deleting all of you edited photos.įirst I organized my photos so that the same set of photos (masters and edits) were each in a folder with the same name (adding EDITS) to the edited photos. At least my iPhoto libraries were larger. Since you already have your originals copied, once you move your edited photos out of iPhoto, you can then delete your iPhoto library and save some space that way since the iPhoto library is larger than your originals and edited photos combined. If you export from iPhoto, there is no way to only export edited photos unless you go through them one by one. That way, I only copied photos that were indeed edited. What I ended up doing was exporting all of my original photos from iPhoto and then making a second folder for my edited photos - copying the contents of the previews folder into this folder instead of exporting the edited photos. If you ditch the preview folder, you will lose all of your edits. In an earlier version of iPhoto the previews folder was called modified. The masters folder for each library contains all of the original photos and the previews folder contains all of the edited photos. I recently went through the package contents of all of my iPhoto libraries (I have more than one library) to get everything out of iPhoto.
