Instead you’ll get folders with a random date name and then every photo will get scattered into random subfolders called %mARz2anQGSVo4X7HEhYcA or +Chz97IhSbVLldJW7hbPkA etc etc. What the heck was Google thinking? It scatters your photos into a thousand different completely random subfolders with no rhyme or reason.You would think when you have an Event called Mother’s Day in iPhoto with all photos being taken on the same exact day that Picasa would important them into a folder called “Mother’s Day”. Posted by Chris Guld at 4:26 pm Tagged with: Aperture, iPhoto, Picasa for MacĢ3 Responses to “Migrate your iPhoto Library to Picasa Now”ĭo NOT do this. We’ve been teaching Picasa since 2004 and have nearly 100 tutorial videos available in our Learning Library. This tip, and the whole website are brought to you by Geeks on Tour. This video shows you the process: (please note the comment by Michele below – make sure to check that all your pictures did, indeed, get imported. Picasa for Mac provides the tools to do the work quite easily. If you’ve been thinking about using Picasa, the announced end of iPhoto gives you the reason to do that now. So, this process of “migrating from iPhoto to Picasa” is really just copying all the pictures out of your iPhoto library and putting them into folders where Picasa – or any other program that works with. jpg files in your computer’s filing system. It is a tool for viewing, organizing, and editing that works with the individual. Picasa, on the other hand is not a container for your photos. All your pictures are inside that ‘package’ and you can only view them using iPhoto. If you look at your Mac’s folders and files (using Finder,) you will only see one – very large – file for your iPhoto LIbrary. You see, iPhoto keeps all your pictures in its proprietary library structure. I recommend following this procedure now just to be sure that your pictures are not held hostage by iPhoto. It sounds a lot like Google+ Photos actually, especially the Auto Backup part! Of course, Apple is providing a migration path to its Photos app and, with full integration of iCloud Photo Library, I expect that this is going to be a very good option. I can’t find any information on whether you will still be able to use the iPhoto you currently have, or whether it will stop working like on the iPad. The Macintosh version will wait till sometime next year when OSX Yosemite is released. The iPhoto App on the iPad is already disabled if you upgraded to iOS 8. Apple is putting all your photos into one basket called simply, “Photos.” It will no longer be offering either of its current photo management tools, iPhoto or Aperture. Here is the complete list of videos, even non-members can watch the ones n the Free section.In case you haven’t heard, iPhoto is going away. If you are a Geeks on Tour member, we have nearly 100 videos – over 10 hours worth of training – on all aspects of using Picasa. It was recorded on Windows, but it works just the same on Mac: Picasa: Transferring your Picture Library from Windows to Mac (this was recorded for members, but I really want you to see it, so I’m making it free for the first 10 days) Here’s the member video I recorded that shows exactly how to do it:ģ57. DO either 1) copy complete folders to the Mac using Finder OR 2) Leave hard drive connected to Mac and use Picasa Folder Manager to work with them there.Do NOT “Import” pictures from the Hard Drive to your Mac using Picasa – that will get the original pictures.Copy complete folders of pictures from PC to an External Hard Drive.So … if you just copy the complete folder of all your pictures from your PC to your Mac, then tell Picasa where those folders are with Folder Manager – you’re all set. This file is located in the same folder as the pictures. Picasa keeps the edits in the file called picasa.ini. Can you lead me in the right direction? Thanks for you great work. I can’t seem to find an answer on the Web either. I have been to the Apple store and a computer Tec department in a computer store and nobody seems to know the answer. I know (from you ) that the pictures are really in the files in My Pictures but they are not with the edits. I want to get a Mac computer and I want to know how to transfer all my pictures from Picasa (with edits) to Picasa for Mac. I love Picasa and I am grateful for the service you provide.
