Day 2: Dealing with the photos
I'm trying to get some photos copied over onto my MacBook air from yesterday. I hate apple so much there aren't words.
First, I delete all of the photos in iPhoto(Photos).
Then, I delete all "recently deleted" photos in iPhoto(Photos).
Now, when I hook my camera to it, iPhoto(Photos) doesn't launch, for some reason. Argh.
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/12/28/how-to-stop-photos-mac-auto-launch/
Step 1: Open Photos on your Mac.
Step 2: Click Import in the toolbar at the top of the Photos window.
Step 3: Connect a camera, your iPad, iPhone or other iOS device to the computer with a USB cable and make sure the device is turned on. If you're connecting a digital camera, make sure it's set to the correct mode for importing photos.
Step 4: Photos shall display the media on the device. To stop the app from auto-opening whenever you connect this device, untick the box next to "Open Photos for this device" at the top (you may need to click the Action button to reveal this option).
OK. FInally googled it and some people said to reboot and rebooting fixed it. Now, when I connect my EOS 50D, the photos are imported into Photos successfully. Argh.
Now, I want to run my little EXIF renamer trick. I think that this was the post where I managed to rename my photos using EXIF .
1) export all 202 images from Photos
2) make a copy of them in another folder
3) run the new program to rename them based on exif data.
1) Launch Photos.
2) Hit Command-A to select all photos.
3) File - Export - Export Unmodified Original for 202 Photos...
4) Export IPTC as XMP?
"Export photos in their original format. You can export photos in the original file formats in which they were imported into your Photos Library. Click the Export IPTC as XMP checkbox to export IPTC information (assigned IPTC metadata and keywords) as a sidecar XMP file." I have no clue what this means.
5) Click Export.
6) Click New Folder.
7) Name of new folder: iphoto_sux_dix_2017_11_14
8) Click Create
9) Click Export Originals
Now we want to do the renaming trick.
The software I downloaded is named ExifREnamer. So, now what I do is go to:
o Finder - Documents - iphoto_sux_dix_2017_11_14
o Command - A to select all photos.
o Right Click - Open With - ExifRenamer.
o Rename All.
It does appear to have renamed them all. Christ.
\documents\ iphoto_sux_dix_2017_11_14 (this has 202 photos in it, and they're all named yyyy-mm-dd etc.)
Now, I go back into photos. Select all 202 photos. RIght click and selete Delete photos.
Are you sure you want to delete all 202 photos? For the love of God yes.
Click on Recently Deleted (on the left) and CTRL-A to select them all and click Delete 202 Items in upper right to delete them yet again (apple sux).
Are you sure?
FOR FUCKS SAKE DELETE THE FUCKING PHOTOS ALREADY!!!
OK.
No recently deleted items.
Now, from Photos, select File - Import and select the 202 files for import.
Click Review for Import.
Click Import All New Photos.
Now, delete them off of the camera so we don't have this problem again tonight.
OK. Erased all images on the card.
Now, I mark them as favorites, and export them.
Now, I send them to Expirebox.com
