iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. You can have a nearly real view of the negative now. ‘Invert’ layer converts negative into positive. Go to the button ‘Create new fill or adjustment layer’ and select invert. I've created an Automator workflow application ( requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. Editing (Convert Negatives to digital) To go through the editing process first you need to make the negative into positive. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. Using this procedure, you can change both the color and values according to the complements of them. You can even back it to negative using the command once more. Your image will instantly turn into positive. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. Now, use the following options consecutively: image, adjustment, and invert. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. Or, you can download theĬonvert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.zip Automator workflow application what will convert the file to a sRGB color mode JPG file. Open the photo with Preview and save it as a color jpg file.
iPhoto doesn't play well with that format.
