i want to know how do i edit the photos stored in iphoto library in adobe lightroom.

any help?

thanks.

ps: just recently i started to use the iphoto after using preview to see the pictures. or else it will take double the space to store in iphoto and in the normal pictures folder

Maybe you can try to describe what you plan to edit ? Exp like leveling, colour balance or photo manipulation like changing of background.

I believe what you mentioned above is possible with iPhoto. I am more comfortable editing photo with Photoshop CS3.
supazta
possible but i want more flexibility with adobe lightroom.
iphoto is never my photo editing software.

so how do i find the photos stored in the iphoto folder?

iPhoto '08 photos are stored in
~(home folder)/Pictures/iPhoto Library.

that's a package file, so I recommend you make a copy and then do your editing with the copy.

for me
i will just use lightroom

my mac dont have iphoto inside

i know lightroom better that iphoto


another very good suggestion for you
Aperture 2.1
damn nice!

that means it will take up double the space????

yes, cos iPhoto is a library-based app, like iTunes.
if you edit the pictures inside the iPhoto library directly, you risk damaging the library permanently.

at the very least, make a backup of the iPhoto library.

for mac, why not try aperture for a non linear workflow? Been using lightroom for 6 months.. switched to aperture.. and im still using it till now, non is superior just that i prefer the workflow that aperture gives me.
supazta
