Hi Guys,
Sorry for the lengthy title, but I didn't think that these questions warranted two posts.
Basically I have 2 issues with iPhoto, probably because I'm still unfamiliar with the Apple way of doing things.
1. I want to be able to duplicate photos in events, which is the default way that iPhoto organizes my pictures. The reason I want to do this is because I have two events that I use for specific stuff. One event for the desktop wallpapers I collect, another for photos that I want to transfer to the iPhone (just 1 or 2, not the whole event/album).
Regarding the wallpapers, sometimes I take a picture from an outing that I want to be able to put into the wallpaper folder, but it seems like such a hassle to duplicate it within the event, then later drag it into the to the wallpaper event (essentially moving the duplicate over).
Same deal for the iPhone photos, sometimes I just want a few photos from an album/event synced into the phone, so i have a separate folder that's set to sync with the iPhone.
2. I often upload to fb/email pictures to friends/family (just like everyone else), but obviously I'm not going to email my whole "XMAS 2009" album to someone. In Windows I used to create a separate "email folder" and copy whatever I wanted to email into there. In iPhoto, I guess i could command+click one by one and then finally hit "email/facebook/export", bu often in the process I want to be able to see a bigger picture (or browse through the pics) just to make sure if it's the one I'm looking for. If i open a photo, I'll lose my selection, which is irritating. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, I guess I just haven't found it yet.
Suggestions and help will really be appreciated, and thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Kinson.
