1. Ten Things1. Connecting iPhoto with your Facebook account| 00:05 | The first thing that we have to do
as we set up our iPhoto to Facebook
| | 00:10 | connection is actually make the
connection, because it doesn't come out of the
| | 00:15 | box that away. So, you have to have a
Facebook account already or you'll have
| | 00:21 | nothing to connect to. So I think
we are all in agreement on that.
| | 00:25 | So assuming that you have your Facebook
account setup, let's connect iPhoto to it
| | 00:30 | so that we can start having the two
talk to one another. So here we are in
| | 00:35 | iPhoto and you will notice that
Facebook is grayed out right now as we are in
| | 00:41 | the Events page. So we actually
have to tell it, well, we want to send
| | 00:46 | something that we have to act like we
want to send something up and then it
| | 00:49 | will come into view.
| | 00:50 | So, let's give it a little subject.
We'll throw it a bone right now. And I just
| | 00:54 | have this little mini album of me.
Various shots of me over the last 15 years
| | 01:00 | or so during this training, so brace
yourself. Okay, you're fairly warned now.
| | 01:06 | So, here we are. We have this mini
album of me and now Facebook lights up.
| | 01:12 | So all I have to do to initiate the
connection is actually click on it. And it's
| | 01:17 | going to ask me, do I want to do what
I just clicked on? And I'm going to say
| | 01:22 | yes, please set me up.
| | 01:26 | We get the screen here. So you have to
know obviously the email account that
| | 01:31 | you use for your Facebook and you
have to know your password and so we are
| | 01:37 | going to do that right now. It's case-
sensitive, as it will tell you so.
| | 01:43 | If you have the Caps Lock on, then you can
create all sorts of problems for yourself.
| | 01:50 | Okay, I think that's correct. Then I
recommend that you do check this box.
| | 01:56 | I don't really see any reason why
wouldn't. I guess if you share your iPhoto
| | 02:01 | library with a whole bunch of people,
then maybe you'd want to log in every
| | 02:06 | time so they don't have direct access
to your Facebook photo albums.
| | 02:11 | But if it's just you and Facebook, then this
is definitely a convenience. I'm going to
| | 02:16 | leave it checked in because it is
only me using my iPhoto library here.
| | 02:21 | And then I'm going to log in and now
iPhoto is actually talking to Facebook and
| | 02:28 | you have to have an Internet
connection for this to work. I'm guessing you
| | 02:32 | assume that, but I just wanted to
throw that out there. We'll go ahead and close.
| | 02:38 | So now, here we are. So, we have made
the connection. Now it's asking me,
| | 02:44 | the thing that I used to make the
connection with, do I actually want to upload it?
| | 02:48 | And I do. Let's go ahead and upload
a couple of shots right now. So this
| | 02:53 | creates an album in Derrick Story's
Facebook account. So, that's what I want.
| | 02:58 | First thing you have to figure out
are the permissions. So always the
| | 03:02 | permissions, isn't it? So do you want
everyone to be able to see these shots or
| | 03:09 | friends of friends or only the people
you designated as friends in Facebook?
| | 03:15 | It's up to you. I'm just going to let
everyone see these shots. It shows you
| | 03:20 | how confident I'm with myself here. So
I'll just pick Everyone here and then
| | 03:25 | I'll click Publish. And you can see
up here that it's uploading the work.
| | 03:32 | The first thing that you will notice
now is that if you want to go directly to
| | 03:37 | that Facebook album that you created,
you have a link right here. Then let me
| | 03:42 | show you something else. I'm going to
minimize information. We have our first
| | 03:47 | Facebook album in iPhoto right here.
| | 03:51 | So, we are in the Library pane. Now we
have a new thing going on and this right here,
| | 03:56 | it tells you that iPhoto is
talking to Facebook. You will actually see if
| | 04:01 | you make a change, as we'll be doing
in future movies, you will see a little
| | 04:05 | activity here and it tells
you that the two are talking.
| | 04:08 | So, we are all setup. We have these
pictures on Facebook. We are going to be
| | 04:13 | playing on Facebook and we are going
to be playing on iPhoto and then
| | 04:16 | we're going to see how it all shakes out.

| 2. Making iPhoto Faces work with Facebook| 00:05 | One of the things that I like about
this connection between iPhoto and the
| | 00:08 | Facebook is the work that you do in
Faces in iPhoto translates up to Facebook,
| | 00:14 | and let me show you how that works. So
these are the photos that we uploaded in
| | 00:19 | the first movie and so they are now on
Facebook and these have been tagged in
| | 00:24 | Faces and, of course, I can check that
by clicking on a photo, going down to Name
| | 00:29 | and seeing that my name shows up
and you can even see the area that's tagged.
| | 00:35 | So these are tagged in Faces in iPhoto.
| | 00:41 | Now, let's go to Facebook. Here we
are, we uploaded those and we are in
| | 00:47 | Facebook right now. So I can click on
this and I can click on this photo here
| | 00:54 | and I can see by waving my mouse over it
that that tag that was added in iPhoto
| | 01:01 | shows up in Facebook and in fact, if
I go down here, I can even see the tag area,
| | 01:08 | the square and it's approximately
the same square that was applied in iPhoto.
| | 01:13 | So this communication between the two
apps is very helpful, very useful. So
| | 01:19 | other people can see these tags after I
uploaded the Facebook. But wait, there's more.
| | 01:25 | Let's go back to iPhoto. So back here
in iPhoto, we can even notify a person
| | 01:33 | if we upload photos of them to
Facebook if they have a Facebook account
| | 01:39 | and I can show you how that works.
| | 01:41 | We will go over here to Faces and
let's say that I want to send up a few
| | 01:46 | pictures of Stephanie, a couple of her
headshots or something like that. I want
| | 01:50 | to put those on my Facebook page as a
photo album, but I want Stephanie to be
| | 01:56 | automatically notified when I do that.
That's easy enough to do. I just go back
| | 02:01 | to the corkboard here and I click on
the i and in Stephanie's information box
| | 02:09 | here, I just have to enter her name
and then just enter her email address.
| | 02:24 | Now this has to be the email address
that she uses as her Facebook ID for this
| | 02:30 | to work. So you have to know that.
Once you do that and click Done, now if I
| | 02:37 | open up and I decide that I want to
upload these images to my Facebook account,
| | 02:44 | so I would select them and click on
Facebook and go to the Upload procedure,
| | 02:49 | those would show up on my Facebook
page as an album and Stephanie would be
| | 02:55 | notified that those were up there and
on top of that, her Stephanie tag would
| | 03:01 | also be apparent on Facebook.
| | 03:04 | So this connection between Facebook
and Faces is really terrific because it
| | 03:10 | allows us to know who is in the
photos and allows other people browsing by,
| | 03:14 | especially if there are shots with
multiple people in them, then it's really
| | 03:18 | helpful. You can just waive over them
and you can see who all the names are.
| | 03:23 | So Faces to Facebook, it's a good connection
and there is actually even more to it
| | 03:28 | I'm going to show you.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| 3. Choosing and uploading iPhoto images| 00:05 | One of the terrific things about the
connection between iPhoto and Facebook is
| | 00:10 | that you can use iPhoto's great
organizational tools to get your stuff together
| | 00:16 | before you send it up online and I
want to show you some of these tools right now.
| | 00:21 | So Smart Albums I think is a feature in
iPhoto that can be very helpful in this
| | 00:26 | organizational endeavor and if I
wanted, for example, to send up an entire
| | 00:32 | collection of somebody that I had on
my Faces corkboard, I could simply drag
| | 00:39 | their face over to the Library pane and
it turns into a Smart Album with all of
| | 00:46 | their shots in it. And then
just click on that Smart Album.
| | 00:50 | Make sure that no individual shots are
selected, because if you do that, only
| | 00:56 | that shot will go up to your
Facebook page. So you want to make sure no
| | 01:00 | individual shots are selected, but the
album is selected and then you go over
| | 01:06 | to Facebook and everything will go up and
it will create a new Photo Album in Facebook.
| | 01:11 | So that's one way to use Smart Albums.
Another is also kind of fun.
| | 01:17 | What if I wanted to easily upload both
Stephanie and Suzanne in one album? I could do
| | 01:26 | that by creating a Smart Album. I just
hold down the Option key so that I get
| | 01:31 | the gear right here, create a new Smart
Album, and we could call this Stephanie
| | 01:38 | and Suz, and this is just an example of
how this would work. You could use this
| | 01:43 | in many, many different ways.
| | 01:45 | We will use the new Name feature. Name
is Stephanie and then we'll add another
| | 01:56 | condition. Name is Suz and then we'll
match any of the following conditions,
| | 02:09 | not all of them but any of them, click
OK. Now, we have a Smart Album with both
| | 02:17 | Stephanie and Suz in the same album.
Make sure no individual shots are
| | 02:22 | selected, click on the album and
upload to Facebook. One more way, I want to
| | 02:29 | show you another Smart Album
way and I like this one a lot.
| | 02:34 | So let's say that I want to have a
Facebook album of me with just my shots from
| | 02:40 | 2008. I don't want any of the old stuff.
I just want me in 2008, because I have
| | 02:47 | a lot of things in here. I go way back,
all right. So I can do that by holding
| | 02:54 | down the Option key again, create a new
Smart Album and we'll call this Derrick
| | 03:01 | 2008.
| | 03:02 | And so the first condition will be
Name is Derrick and then we'll set up the
| | 03:15 | second condition, to Date is after, I'm
going to just make that 1, hit the Tab
| | 03:27 | key, 1, Tab and we'll just make this
2008 and click OK. Now I have a Smart
| | 03:35 | Album with two shots of me and
let's just check them real quick.
| | 03:40 | We will go down here to the
Information and this one was shot in February of
| | 03:45 | 2008. This one was shot in March of 2008.
So we'll close this, we'll make sure
| | 03:53 | that no individual shot is selected,
but that the album is selected. We'll go
| | 03:58 | to Facebook, click, we'll let everyone
see these shots, Publish, goes to work,
| | 04:06 | uploads the thumbnails, creates
another Facebook album here in iPhoto that I
| | 04:12 | can maintain and let's go to Facebook
to make sure that everything worked okay.
| | 04:18 | There we go, like of that, come back
to my photos. I have these albums right here.
| | 04:26 | One more organizational tool, there is
always one more, is it there. We'll go
| | 04:31 | back to our Faces corkboard here and if
you want, you can pull together just a
| | 04:38 | few shots manually. Let's say that I
just wanted these four shots of Josh
| | 04:44 | alone, I can just drag across them,
create a regular album, call Josh the
| | 04:54 | Groom, click Create. There it is right
here. Either have all four selected or
| | 05:04 | none selected. It's one or the other.
Make sure the album is selected, and
| | 05:09 | click on Facebook and then those will go up.
| | 05:13 | So you can use these organizational
tools in iPhoto to sort of get your albums
| | 05:19 | together first and then upload them and
then once they are on Facebook, where I
| | 05:24 | think it's a little bit harder to
organize your images than it is in iPhoto --
| | 05:29 | then, once you are on Facebook,
everything is nice and clean.
| | 05:32 | Of course, you can always make
changes here and they will be uploaded to
| | 05:36 | Facebook and I'll be
talking about that very soon.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| 4. Learning more about Facebook photo albums| 00:05 | So even though we are going to depend
a lot on iPhoto to organize our images
| | 00:11 | that we send up to Facebook, I probably
should show you a few things about Facebook,
| | 00:16 | just so you can kind of find your way
around, if you haven't explored already.
| | 00:20 | So, I'll just show you just a few
little basic organizational things in
| | 00:25 | Facebook. So, you start out. I'm
here on my profile page and guess what?
| | 00:31 | My photo albums are located under Photos.
So, I'm just going to click on that and
| | 00:36 | we'll go over to our photo albums and
we can see the stuff that we've uploaded
| | 00:40 | from iPhoto and some stuff that was here before.
| | 00:43 | Now, if I click on one of these albums
right here, I can do some organization.
| | 00:49 | Click on the Organize Photos. If I want
to have this photo first, I can reverse order.
| | 00:54 | I can also just drag my photos
around, all right, and organize inside
| | 01:00 | the album. Once I'm done with that,
I can just save those changes.
| | 01:05 | Now, if I want to change the photo
that's my album cover, I go over to Edit
| | 01:12 | Photos and here's where I have this
guy selected as the album cover right now,
| | 01:19 | but I want this guy as the album cover.
| | 01:22 | So, all I have to do is click there,
and I also want to mention that the title
| | 01:29 | for the image in iPhoto goes in the
Caption field in Facebook. So, let me just
| | 01:35 | go to iPhoto real quick. Here we are
in iPhoto. Let me just show you what I
| | 01:39 | mean by that. Here's the title here
and that becomes the caption in Facebook,
| | 01:46 | tada! Thank you very much. So, we have
made this the album cover now and I'll save
| | 01:55 | those changes. Very good.
| | 01:58 | Of course, if I want to, I can add
more photos here via Facebook. I have to
| | 02:04 | tell you I don't really recommend
doing that this way once you have your
| | 02:10 | iPhoto to Facebook connection setup,
because I think it's easier to maintain
| | 02:15 | on the iPhoto side than here. I'll
click this link and show you what it does is
| | 02:21 | it actually brings up your computer,
you navigate to find the photos you want,
| | 02:26 | and then you can upload them.
| | 02:28 | So, we're not going to do that right
now. I think it's better to let iPhoto
| | 02:33 | drive that. So, those are just a few
basic things just to find our way around.
| | 02:38 | Again, I'll go back to my profile page
and the photo albums are located under
| | 02:44 | Photos and you can do some
editing stuff there. It's all fairly
| | 02:50 | straightforward, but my
recommendation is save the organization of
| | 02:56 | your images, and the uploading of your
images for the iPhoto side of the equation,
| | 03:02 | and just know that you can find your way
around here in Facebook if you have to.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| 5. Making image edits to Facebook pictures via iPhoto| 00:05 | Well, now we get to have some fun,
because we are going to play with some of
| | 00:08 | the editing tools in iPhoto. I'm going
to edit a couple shots and then we're
| | 00:13 | going to see how we can republish those shots
and then have them reflected in Facebook.
| | 00:19 | So, organization is one thing, but
actually getting to alter the photograph,
| | 00:24 | that's a way more fun nother thing. So,
let's start out, let's upload a couple
| | 00:28 | of new shots to Facebook. So, I'm going
to pick this one of Stephanie and I'll
| | 00:34 | pick this one of Stephanie. I'm going
to just go ahead and go to my Facebook icon
| | 00:40 | and we'll make them viewable by
everyone and we'll publish and off we go.
| | 00:50 | Now, right away, you can tell that
here Stephanie and Suz and this is not Suz
| | 00:55 | anymore, so I'm just going to take
that out. Just do Stephanie, hit Tab and
| | 01:04 | republish that. There we go, and let's
go to our Facebook page then we'll go
| | 01:11 | over to Photos and we'll refresh and
there we go. You'll notice where I change
| | 01:19 | that from Stephanie and Suz to just
Stephanie and that's reflected right away.
| | 01:25 | I click on this and we have our two
photos here. So, what I want to do now is
| | 01:30 | make some adjustments to these photos.
So, we'll zoom in here and I think what
| | 01:36 | I'd like to do is just do some minor
things, like we'll get rid of that little
| | 01:40 | bit of shine that's on her lip there
on this one. Then on this shot here,
| | 01:48 | I'm going to crop it a little bit and
we'll make just a few little changes there,
| | 01:52 | and then we'll republish and see if
they are reflected in our Facebook album here.
| | 02:01 | So, we'll go back to iPhoto now. So,
here we are and here's our Stephanie
| | 02:05 | album. Let's start with this one
right here. So, I'm just going to click on it,
| | 02:09 | and then I'm going to go down and
activate Edit mode right here and
| | 02:15 | I want to show you just some of the
nice tools that iPhoto has, some terrific
| | 02:19 | editing tools. For example, if I
want to zoom in to get a closer look at
| | 02:24 | something in a particular area, let's
say the eyes here, I can just put the
| | 02:28 | mouse pointer in the general area and
hit the 1 key and I can zoom in at 100%
| | 02:35 | and hit the 0 key and I back out.
| | 02:38 | If I put the mouse in a different area,
we'll put it down here on her hand, 1,
| | 02:44 | and we go right. So wherever you have
the mouse, when you hit the 1 key,
| | 02:48 | it takes you right to that area. So,
that's handy when you're image editing,
| | 02:51 | because sometimes you want a closer
look at the area that you're going to work on.
| | 02:56 | Now, let's do a little cropping. So
I'll go to my Crop tool here. Now you have
| | 03:01 | a couple of different options with
cropping. You can just have it however you
| | 03:05 | set the crop, where you just drag
and set it yourself, or you can set the
| | 03:10 | Constrain tool that allows you to crop
at specific proportions, such as 4x3 or 5x7.
| | 03:18 | This is very handy when you are
printing to make sure that the image you see on
| | 03:22 | the screen matches what comes out of
the printer. Since we are not doing that,
| | 03:26 | since we are on the web, we have a lot
more flexibility. So, I'm not going to
| | 03:30 | worry about constraining. I'm just
going to crop a little bit of this extra
| | 03:36 | space out, and I think I'll bring this
up a little bit like this and just do,
| | 03:43 | just a little tighter crop here.
| | 03:46 | This will also help us when we
republish to really see if our changes were
| | 03:51 | uploaded to Facebook. So, I'm going to
apply that, there we are. Now, I want to
| | 03:57 | show you the Adjust palette, here it is
right here. I'll bring it over to the side,
| | 04:03 | and this has some very nice tools.
It has the Exposure tool. That works
| | 04:09 | with the brights in the image. The
Contrast pushes things out to both ends, so
| | 04:15 | it increases both the brights and the
darks at the same time and tends to push
| | 04:19 | the histogram out toward the edges.
| | 04:23 | Saturation is exactly that. That's
saturation increases the intensity of the color,
| | 04:28 | and when you have a person like
this with skin tones, you want to check
| | 04:33 | the box Avoid saturating the skin
tones and then it is more like a vibrancy
| | 04:39 | slider which means it will increase
areas like this, but it will try to protect
| | 04:43 | the skin tones as best as it can. Down
here at Definition, this is the fun slider
| | 04:48 | and this increases mid-tone
contrast and adds a little mid-tone
| | 04:53 | sharpening too. That's a
little unsharp mask actually.
| | 04:57 | Highlight is actually highlight
recovery, so if you have areas that are blown
| | 05:01 | out in your highlights in terms of
detail, this helps you recover that detail,
| | 05:06 | and same thing with shadows. If your
shadows are a little plugged up or a
| | 05:10 | little murky, move this shadow and you
can see how it opens up the shadows,
| | 05:14 | is what it does. It opens all those up and
then Sharpness is sharpness, of course.
| | 05:21 | Then De-noise, if you have a lot of
noise in the shot that can help you with that.
| | 05:25 | Then you have a built-in color
balance adjustment. You can use the Auto and
| | 05:31 | here you just look for a kind of a
neutral white area and you click on that
| | 05:37 | and if you miss, don't worry. Go to
another white area and click around.
| | 05:42 | That was a good one; we found a nice
neutral one there. If you don't like what you did,
| | 05:49 | you always have the Reset button
right down here and I'm going to reset
| | 05:54 | all of these because I want to
show you a nice little trick.
| | 05:58 | So, everything is reset. You may or
may not have played with the Enhance tool
| | 06:05 | in iPhoto, but it looks kind of like a
magic wand and it really is kind of like
| | 06:10 | a magic wand.
| | 06:11 | The problem with it in the past was
that you didn't really know what it was doing.
| | 06:17 | You would click it and you go,
Wow, I think that looks better,
| | 06:22 | but I wish I knew what happened, or maybe I
want to fine-tune the enhance a little
| | 06:27 | bit more. And you can do that,
you can do that, you can fine-tune it.
| | 06:30 | What you have to do is open up the Adjust
panel first right here, then go to the
| | 06:37 | Enhance tool and you can see the Adjust
will actually show you the changes that were made.
| | 06:44 | So, in this case it increased the
saturation a little bit, it increased the
| | 06:49 | exposure a little bit. It made a few
changes to temperature and tint. So if
| | 06:55 | you wanted to further enhance the Enhance
tool, you can do that, because you know
| | 07:01 | what things have changed. So, this is
very handy and this is a tip that a lot
| | 07:06 | of people don't know. I think this is
new to iPhoto '09. So, if you have an
| | 07:13 | earlier version and this doesn't work,
you'll know why. You know that you have
| | 07:17 | to upgrade to '09.
| | 07:19 | So, we'll leave Enhance alone right now
and then one other thing that I want to
| | 07:23 | mention that if you want to see if you
are actually making your picture better
| | 07:28 | or worse, hold down the Shift key and
the Shift key will show you how it was
| | 07:34 | before you started playing with it,
so that you can see if you are going in
| | 07:38 | the right direction or not, okay. So,
that's holding down the Shift key.
| | 07:43 | So, I think we're done with this one
for a moment. So, I'll go ahead and
| | 07:48 | I'm just going to move to the next photograph,
and by doing so my changes are added to this one.
| | 07:55 | So, when I move for one photograph to
another, then those changes are recorded.
| | 07:59 | I just want to make a couple of little
things to this shot here. Let's crop it also,
| | 08:04 | because that will give us a
good look at how well republishing works.
| | 08:09 | We'll crop this one a lot tighter. So
we'll do something like that. We'll bring it up;
| | 08:14 | we are just going to have
sort of a head and collar shot here.
| | 08:17 | So, we'll give it a good crop, nice and
tight crop, we'll apply that. And then
| | 08:25 | I'm going to zoom in. I'm going to hit
the 1, zoom in, and I want to show you
| | 08:31 | the Retouch Brush, which is another
fairly nifty tool. It allows you to fix
| | 08:37 | blemishes very easily. I can change
the size of the brush by doing this, but
| | 08:42 | I think it's easier while you're working
to use the right and left bracket keys.
| | 08:47 | So the bracket key on the right will
make the brush diameter bigger, and the
| | 08:51 | bracket key on the left will make it
smaller and we'll just take out that
| | 08:57 | little blemish right there. I'll just
click on it and it's gone. Then that
| | 09:03 | little highlight there, that specular
highlight, it's a little too bright for me
| | 09:06 | and I go I don't like that, fix.
| | 09:09 | So, I'm going to do Command+Z, to
undo it. Reposition, I'm going to make my
| | 09:14 | brush size a little smaller, move it
down a little lower, and let's try it again,
| | 09:18 | there we go. That's nicer. Then
I'm going to make it even smaller and do
| | 09:24 | it right here. There we go. Okay,
we're all set. How about that, okay. So one
| | 09:30 | little spot right there, there we go.
So now, again, by holding down the
| | 09:37 | Shift key, we can take a look at our
work and see if we actually made things
| | 09:41 | better or not and I think we're
moving in the right direction.
| | 09:45 | So now I'm going to click Done. So
we've done our editing work in iPhoto,
| | 09:50 | and I don't know if you noticed it, but
it happened faster than a blink of the eye.
| | 09:55 | We had a little republishing action
happen right down here. Let me force it to
| | 09:58 | republish. I'll just click on this.
There we go. So now these changes that
| | 10:05 | we made here should be reflected
on Facebook. Let's take a look.
| | 10:11 | We'll go to Facebook right here. Now this is the
old shot, right. Let's refresh and there we go.
| | 10:22 | So, you have some pretty good editing
tools in iPhoto and as you saw, they were fun
| | 10:29 | and so once you have stuff up on
Facebook that doesn't mean it has to stay
| | 10:34 | that way, or that you have to pull it
off and do something and then put it back on.
| | 10:39 | All you have to do is go to iPhoto,
find the image that you want to work on,
| | 10:46 | go into Edit Mode, make your
changes and then off to the races you go.
| | 10:52 | Now, at any time when you're editing
in iPhoto, if you decide that you just
| | 10:58 | want to go back to the original
photograph, the way that it was before you
| | 11:03 | started working on it, you always
have that option. We'll go out of editing
| | 11:07 | mode here, click Done. You just
go up to Photos > Revert to Original.
| | 11:14 | It will say that all of your changes are
going to be lost, and you're going that's okay.
| | 11:18 | It takes you back to your original shot,
you go back down here to Facebook,
| | 11:24 | you republish, the original
shot is uploaded and no harm was done.
| | 11:30 | So, there's no excuse at all not to
play with your images in iPhoto and to
| | 11:36 | have fun with them and improve them
and then just have those automatically
| | 11:41 | shared up to Facebook. Because it's easy.
You can undo it, you can redo it, and
| | 11:46 | you really have fun editing tools in iPhoto
that make this connection even more enjoyable.

| 6. Making metadata changes to Facebook pictures via iPhoto| 00:05 | In the previous movie I did some work
with image editing, so we changed things
| | 00:10 | such as cropping and so forth. And
you have a few little, what we called
| | 00:14 | metadata things that you can do also.
| | 00:16 | Let me show you the few things that
you can do. It's not extensive, but it is
| | 00:21 | not terrible. So, one of the things
that we can do, for example, is that we can
| | 00:26 | change the permissions on our photos.
So I publish these as being able to be
| | 00:32 | seen by everyone, and then let's say
that I heard from Stephanie she goes, "you know,
| | 00:37 | let's just keep it to our mutual friends."
I would be more comfortable with that.
| | 00:42 | So I don't have to pull all the
images down. It's not a big rigmarole or
| | 00:45 | anything like that. It's very simple,
all I have to do is click on the photos,
| | 00:50 | go down here to settings, and here is
where I get to change that. So I'll just
| | 00:59 | make it Only Friends now, like that,
and I'll click Change Settings, and you
| | 01:05 | saw a quick little republish over here.
If you didn't see, I can always force it.
| | 01:10 | There we go. And now the permissions
on those photos have been changed.
| | 01:17 | So now, not everyone can see
them, but only mutual friends.
| | 01:22 | Now another thing that we can do is,
for instance, I notice that sometimes the
| | 01:28 | naming convention that you have for
your photos in your iPhoto library isn't
| | 01:32 | necessarily the naming convention that
you want to have on your Facebook page.
| | 01:36 | For example, I have this photo, here,
named as Stephanie-15, and that was part
| | 01:44 | of what I was doing in iPhoto
organizing and getting things all the way
| | 01:48 | that I wanted, but online not such a great name.
So I would rather name is Stephanie at Home.
| | 01:55 | So I'll just change that here in the
title field, Stephanie at Home, and then
| | 02:01 | I'm going to hit the Tab key, and then
we'll do this one also and change this
| | 02:07 | to Stephanie in her Backyard. All right,
and then I hit the Tab key there. So,
| | 02:18 | we have made both of those changes.
| | 02:20 | Now, let's republish by clicking here
on our little Republish tool, and on this
| | 02:26 | one, and this one both they didn't stick.
I can tell they didn't stick, because
| | 02:32 | it reverted back here. So in that case
then we have to try again, because if we
| | 02:38 | go online it is not going to be correct.
So let's try it again. Stephanie at
| | 02:42 | Home, Tab, and let's hit Republish and
see if it sticks. Now it should stick
| | 02:49 | and let's try this one. Let's try this
and see if it sticks this time. Tab, and
| | 03:00 | let's Republish, see if that one sticks.
| | 03:05 | Okay, I think we are okay now. So if it
reverts back while you are here in the
| | 03:10 | title field, then chances are widely
good that they were not changed on the
| | 03:15 | Facebook site. Let's take a look at
the Facebook site and see if we were successful.
| | 03:19 | Here we are on Facebook, let's go hit
it and Refresh our page here, and I'm
| | 03:29 | going to click on this one here, and
let's scroll down here, and there we have
| | 03:34 | Stephanie at Home. And we'll go back
to the album, let's take a look at this
| | 03:41 | one, Stephanie in her Backyard, very
good, and let's take a look, here we'll
| | 03:50 | just look at organizing our photos.
I think I want to go ahead and make this
| | 03:56 | one first, so that looks great. We'll
go over to edit our photos, and I'm going
| | 04:03 | to go ahead, oh, this one is the album
cover already, so we are great, and you
| | 04:07 | will notice that our text has changed here also.
| | 04:11 | So we are in terrific shape now, I'll
go back to the album, everything looks
| | 04:18 | really good, and so you don't have huge
Metadata changes you can make, you can
| | 04:23 | make some minor ones, you can change
the permissions, for example, now outside
| | 04:28 | people who are not friends cannot
see these photos. So when we go, for
| | 04:33 | instance, I'll go back to my Profile
page here, and go to the Photo page.
| | 04:40 | So people that are not friends will
not be able to see the Stephanie photos.
| | 04:44 | They will be able to see the other
stuff here and you can change a little bit
| | 04:50 | about the title and pretty much that's
it. You can also make some changes in
| | 04:56 | Facebook and those, generally speaking,
will be pushed back down to iPhoto.
| | 05:01 | There is good communication, there is
just not a whole lot to play with there.

| 7. Downloading Facebook changes to your iPhoto library| 00:05 | I'm going to try something kind of
interesting now. I'm going to take a photo
| | 00:10 | or a couple of photos form my iPhoto
library that have not been tagged,
| | 00:15 | the face has not been tagged, send it up
to my Facebook, tag it in Facebook, and
| | 00:23 | then see if that information comes
back down to iPhoto. All right, it is a
| | 00:27 | great experiment; you are here when it happens.
| | 00:31 | So I think I have someone in my events
here that hasn't been tagged. Yes, right here.
| | 00:37 | Samara and we can just check
that by clicking on it and doing this. So,
| | 00:44 | it's an unknown face,
but it recognizes the face.
| | 00:47 | All right, good.
| | 00:52 | So we have an unknown person here, and
we are going to send this unknown person
| | 00:57 | up to Facebook and see what happens.
So I'm going to select these five shots
| | 01:03 | right here, I'll go to Facebook,
and we'll just do Only Friends on this
| | 01:11 | permissions and I'm going to Publish them.
| | 01:14 | So while they are uploading, now the
next step is going to be once they are
| | 01:18 | done on Facebook as they are right now,
we are going to go to that page and we
| | 01:21 | are going to tag them there. That's
right, this is live training at its best.
| | 01:29 | Just to have you on the edge of
your seat here. Okay, so here we go.
| | 01:33 | We have a shot here. There she is.
| | 01:35 | Now I'm going to just scroll down the
page here and go to Tag This Photo and
| | 01:41 | then you just click and then I started
typing, there we go. So we are going to
| | 01:46 | tag it and then I can double check
right here. Excellent. Let's do one more.
| | 01:51 | I'll do Done Tagging. So we'll go back
to the album. We'll do this one here.
| | 01:56 | These are a couple of different angles,
so this will also add to the excitement
| | 02:00 | of the experiment. I'll tag this photo,
click on right here and let's just do
| | 02:08 | one more. Why? Because we have
inquisitive minds and we want to know, all right.
| | 02:17 | So we'll go down here, and we'll
Tag This Photo. Click on it, okay.
| | 02:27 | So we now have three photos that have
been tagged, right here, and what I want
| | 02:36 | to do now is go back to iPhoto and see
if this information has been sent back
| | 02:41 | to iPhoto and if I can use it with the
face recognition technology that's in
| | 02:46 | iPhoto '09. So I'll minimize this. Now,
here we are and here is my Facebook and
| | 02:55 | I'm going to actually give ourselves a
little more breathing room here, just
| | 02:58 | for a moment. There we go.
| | 03:02 | So I'm going to go ahead and Republish.
It probably has already republished,
| | 03:05 | but I'm going to just force it, right now,
just by clicking on it, just to make sure.
| | 03:09 | Okay, here we go. Let's see
what happens. That's interesting.
| | 03:14 | It's asking me. So I'm going to say it is
and let's go to the next one. It is asking me.
| | 03:21 |
| | 03:24 | This one has it already. And now we
didn't tag these in Facebook. Oh we did tag-
| | 03:32 | oh wait. Let's go back here. Let's do Done.
| | 03:37 |
So this one we did right here.
| | 03:39 | Let's check the name.
| | 03:45 | So iPhoto has picked up the ball where
Facebook left off, but it didn't have it
| | 03:52 | 100% because it asked me if it was
Samara but it didn't automatically have her name there.
| | 03:58 | So we'll click Done. So now
let's go to our corkboard and let's
| | 04:05 | see what we have there. And she has
been added to the corkboard, excellent.
| | 04:15 | Let's try it with just one more shot.
I'm going to go to -- let's see,
| | 04:25 | let's upload this shot of me, let's just make
sure it hasn't been tagged. It has been
| | 04:30 | tagged in Facebook actually. This is
what I wanted to show you. When iPhoto
| | 04:35 | confirms that an image has been
tagged in Facebook and when it comes
| | 04:40 | down from Facebook we
actually get the Facebook icon there.
| | 04:45 | Now we didn't get that with the shots
of Samara, because it was asking me if it
| | 04:53 | was Samara, but it didn't confirm so
we didn't get that little Facebook icon.
| | 04:59 | So as you can see from our experiments
here, there is communication between
| | 05:04 | Facebook and iPhoto. I think the face
detection technologies as they try to
| | 05:11 | talk to each other is far from a
perfect science, but if someone does tag an
| | 05:17 | image that you have on Facebook,
I would say then that you have a good chance
| | 05:23 | of that information coming back down
into iPhoto, where it could become part of
| | 05:28 | your iPhoto library also as a tagged image.
| | 05:32 | So play with it a little bit on your own,
see what you find out, but there are,
| | 05:37 | definitely, some good possibilities there.

| 8. Downloading existing Facebook photo albums to iPhoto| 00:05 | So I have a question for you. What if
you really like this iPhoto setup that
| | 00:11 | we have here where you manage your
Facebook pictures in iPhoto, and why not?
| | 00:16 | Look at all the cool things you can do
with the Editing tools and so forth.
| | 00:21 | But you have some Albums on Facebook
already and they are not here. They are not in
| | 00:26 | your iPhoto little Facebook
lineup here. Can you bring them in?
| | 00:31 | Well, actually you can and it is a
little bit of a workaround, but I'll show
| | 00:34 | you how that workaround works. So
let's find the album that we want to move
| | 00:40 | from Facebook to iPhoto. So we'll go
to Facebook, here we are in Facebook and
| | 00:45 | I'm going to scroll down and I kind of
want to have these photos here inside
| | 00:54 | of my iPhoto management system.
So I'm going to make that happen.
| | 00:59 | So I'll go back to iPhoto. The way that
you do it is first you have to create a
| | 01:04 | Facebook album that you can move those
photos to that are in Facebook. So we
| | 01:09 | are going to a sort of dummy album in a
way. So I'm just going to create just a
| | 01:13 | new album, and I'm actually going to
call it Scenics. Now it's an empty album.
| | 01:21 | I can't upload an empty album to
Facebook, so I'm just going to just put a
| | 01:25 | placeholder picture in it. So I'll go
to Pets. And I'll take our little otter
| | 01:33 | friends here, put them in
Scenics. All right, there we go.
| | 01:40 | Now what I'm going to do is upload
this to Facebook. So I go here. We'll let
| | 01:48 | Everyone see it and let's publish it.
And it should publish fairly quickly,
| | 01:55 | it's only one shot, and
we are there, and here we go.
| | 02:00 | Now here's where the magic comes in. So
now we are going to go back to Facebook
| | 02:08 | and I'm going to move these photos in
Facebook from this album to the new album
| | 02:13 | that I created, Scenics. So we go to
Edit Photos and see right here, we get
| | 02:19 | this little pop-up menu, and I can
move this photo to Scenics. I'm doing the
| | 02:24 | same thing here, scroll
down, and move it to Scenics.
| | 02:31 | Now we are going to Save Changes.
Changes have been saved. This album is now empty.
| | 02:40 | Okay, delete it. All right now
here we are in Scenics. We'll open that
| | 02:48 | up and now we have created this and we
probably don't want to have our otters
| | 02:54 | in there, because that was used just as
a placeholder to kind of set up this whole thing.
| | 02:58 | So now I'm going to go here to delete
this photo and we'll make this photo our
| | 03:07 | album cover and it all looks good. So
we'll delete the otters. Now let's save
| | 03:12 | these changes. Okay, so far we are
looking very good. Now we'll go back to my photos.
| | 03:18 | So now we have Scenics, we have
three photos. Let's just double-check
| | 03:24 | everything is the way that we want it.
All right, the moment of truth here, now
| | 03:29 | we go back to iPhoto. Let's see if we
can actually manage this Facebook photo album.
| | 03:34 | Let's re-publish, and look at that.
| | 03:43 | So I have now taken a Facebook photo
album that wasn't connected to iPhoto and
| | 03:50 | using this method it is now connected
to iPhoto and I can manage these shots
| | 03:56 | through iPhoto and I can drag more
images into here and have them go up to Scenics.
| | 04:01 | So I have taken sort of iPhoto
control of this Facebook album using this
| | 04:05 | technique. It's pretty handy
and I hope you give it a try.

| 9. Searching for photos on Facebook| 00:05 | I have heard from some folks that they
have a bit of a hard time finding people
| | 00:09 | on Facebook. So if you are looking for
someone and you want to see the photos
| | 00:14 | that they take, how do you do that?
| | 00:16 | So we are just going to review that
quickly. I know you probably have tried it
| | 00:19 | before. I'm just going to show you a
couple of tips and then I'm going to show
| | 00:23 | you a way to look for specific types of
albums on Facebook using Google. So we
| | 00:29 | have get two things to go through here.
| | 00:30 | Let's start out with looking for a
person, so I want to look for a friend.
| | 00:35 | I'm pretty sure she is on Facebook and
I want to see some of her photographs,
| | 00:39 | so I want to find her. So I'm just going to
type in the name, Sonya Webb, and I want
| | 00:47 | to Search Facebook, so I'll click on
that and so I'm going okay, oh my gush,
| | 00:53 | look at how many Sonya Webbs there are?
There is actually three pages of Sonya
| | 00:58 | Webb' and then some of them don't
even have a picture or a location. So
| | 01:05 | I'm going to have to refine my search
a little bit and this is the key to
| | 01:08 | searching on Facebook, is refining that search.
| | 01:11 | So I'm going to go down here to the
bottom and I have a couple of ways to do that.
| | 01:15 | If I happen to know Sonya's email,
I can enter that in here and that's a
| | 01:20 | great way. That way works very well
if you know the email. In this case,
| | 01:24 | I can't remember her email, but I do
remember that she went to Cal Poly. So maybe
| | 01:30 | I can search by School and refine that
search. So I'm going to write Cal Poly.
| | 01:38 | That's what I want to do. Let's
see if just by adding this additional
| | 01:45 | condition, if that gets me where I
want to go, and so now we'll go Search and
| | 01:50 | there she is. That is exactly whom I'm
looking for, Sonya Webb here in Ventura.
| | 01:55 | So we are finding their search a lot
of times will really help you get where
| | 01:59 | you want to go. So you either need to
know the email or the school, something
| | 02:04 | like that, to help you out. Now if
you want to look for a specific type of
| | 02:09 | photo album on Facebook, I have
another really nice little trick for you.
| | 02:15 | I'm going to hit Command+T here and I'm
going to open up a new tab, and we are just
| | 02:20 | going to go to Google, and here's the
string. And this is a specific string in
| | 02:28 | quotes. Basically you type site:
facebook.com inurl:album and then you add a
| | 02:49 | keyword for what you are looking for.
| | 02:52 | So in these cases say that if I would
like to see puppy photos, so I'm going to
| | 02:56 | type the keyword puppy and then I'll
do a Google search. So site:facebook.com
| | 03:05 | inurl:album and then whatever keywords
you want to add. What Google does then,
| | 03:14 | it will return Facebook Albums,
best that it can. You know as Facebook,
| | 03:18 | Facebook, Facebook, Facebook -
here we go. All sorts if stuff.
| | 03:22 | So let's take a look at our top result
there. And I mean how irresistible is
| | 03:29 | that? So right away that takes you to a
puppy photo that's inside of Facebook,
| | 03:35 | and we can try one more, and I'll hit
Back here. And oh, very cute puppy.
| | 03:41 | How can you resist a very cute puppy?
| | 03:43 | So let's try that in Facebook. Oh my
gosh, they are right about that. Very,
| | 03:50 | very cute puppy. Okay, so this is a way
that you can look for specific types of
| | 03:56 | photos within Facebook. And here is
the string right here. You just type that
| | 04:05 | into Google search field, you add
whatever keywords that you want, and off to
| | 04:10 | the races you go. It works really well.

| 10. Things to be wary of on Facebook| 00:05 | Well, no Facebook training will be
complete without a few warnings to send you
| | 00:09 | off with to make sure that you have a
pleasant and positive Facebook experience.
| | 00:14 | Warning number one. Be mindful of the
photos that you upload to Facebook.
| | 00:20 | For example, photos taken after midnight
at the office Christmas party may not be
| | 00:25 | the perfect type of content for your
Facebook page. You may lose a few friends.
| | 00:30 | You may even lose your job. So use
common sense when uploading, when choosing
| | 00:35 | the photos that you want to
put on your Facebook page.
| | 00:39 | Now, a couple of technical things.
If you switch among iPhoto libraries,
| | 00:45 | there is a possibility that you could
break the connection that you have in one
| | 00:49 | library of the Facebook. So I'm using
this library, it has all of my Facebook stuff.
| | 00:53 | I switch to another library for
a few days and do some other stuff.
| | 00:57 | Then I come back. I have experienced
some times when that connection was dropped.
| | 01:02 | The best way to protect yourself is to
create regular albums of the stuff that
| | 01:07 | you upload to Facebook. So if that
connection is dropped, then you just
| | 01:11 | republish that regular album and off
to the races you go. So be aware,
| | 01:16 | it doesn't always happen, but it could happen.
| | 01:20 | Another one. If you delete an image in
iPhoto after you upload it to Facebook,
| | 01:27 | it will probably be taken off Facebook.
So suddenly, the photos that you have
| | 01:33 | that are in these albums here,
these are live photos, they are online,
| | 01:38 | they are on Facebook.
| | 01:39 | If you delete them off of our iPhoto
library, they will go away from Facebook.
| | 01:43 | Now, that's also a good thing. If you
decided that you want to take a photo off
| | 01:48 | Facebook, then all you have to do is
delete it out of here and you are in great shape.
| | 01:53 | Also, be careful about carelessly
tagging photos, especially of people. So if
| | 02:00 | this person's name is Stephanie, make
sure that you get her name right when you
| | 02:05 | tag it in Faces and make sure you
spell her name right. Nothing worse than
| | 02:10 | misspelling a friend's name. So don't be
careless, be careful when you tag people's names.
| | 02:15 | Then think about the permissions that
you set also. So for example, here with
| | 02:22 | Stephanie's photos, I have them set
for Only Friends and sometimes that's
| | 02:28 | appropriate. Not everyone is going to
want everyone to see their photos.
| | 02:33 | So again, be mindful, think about it, even
contact the person, set your permission
| | 02:39 | so they are appropriate for the
people that you are publishing.
| | 02:42 | I'll cancel that. Then the last thing
is be very careful and considerate with
| | 02:49 | photos of children. I don't need to say
a whole lot there. Use common sense and
| | 02:55 | always err on the side of caution
when publishing photos of children.
| | 03:00 | Follow those rules and I think you'll have
a happy and pleasant Facebook experience.
