Need help in iPhoto.
Imported 56 photos into iPhoto on my Mac Book Pro with Retina display, for some simple corrections. This is for some shots I did in both RAW & Jepg. Made my corrections, but only have them on my computer, and con not figure how to save them to my external hard drives, or a thumb drive.
Forgot to change my settings from action outdoors to ambient light back in the clubhouse, so the indoors are quit dark.
Can one of you UHHers tell me how to retrieve them after correction to an external source so I can have them printed?
Should have imported into RAW and Photoshop
Thanks in advance

I copied this from the help section of iPhoto. It should give you what you need.




Export a photo

When you email, print, publish, or export a photo from your iPhoto library, iPhoto asks you to choose the size, also known as resolution. The settings you choose depend on what you want to do with the photo.

To change a photo’s size or file format, you export the photo. You might want to export photos so that you can import them into another application.

Hide
Export photos
Select the photo or photos you want to export.

Choose File > Export.

At the top of the Export Photos window, click the File Export button.

To specify the file type for the exported photo, choose an option from the Kind pop-up menu:

Original: Exports the photo as it was originally imported into iPhoto, before editing.

Current: Exports the photo in its current format. If you imported a RAW-format photo and then edited it in iPhoto, the photo is exported as a JPEG file.

JPEG: If you choose this format, choose an option from the JPEG Quality pop-up menu. The higher the quality, the bigger the photo. For example, if the photo will be used on a website where optimal quality for printing isn’t required, you could choose Low to save storage space on the website.

TIFF: A lossless file format that works well for transferring photos between computers and applications.

PNG: Another lossless file format popular for web images.

To change the size (resolution), choose an option from the Size pop-up menu:

For photos to be emailed or mainly viewed onscreen, these settings compress the photos (making them smaller):

Small: Use for photos you email or publish to websites where you don’t expect anyone to download and print your photos.

Medium: Use when you or your recipients have a reasonably fast Internet connection, such as DSL. This setting is not suitable for making prints.

Large: Use this setting when you and your recipients have a very fast connection. This size can be used to print small to standard-size photos (2 by 3, 3 by 5, and 4 by 6 inches).

Full Size: Use to make high-quality prints in small to large sizes, or to upload photos to websites so that others can download and print them. This setting matches the actual size of your photo, so it may take longer to upload or download.

Custom: Use this setting for large or small prints that require custom sizing and for publishing photos to websites for others to download and print.

Specify your other options:

Include checkboxes: If you choose JPEG or TIFF from the Kind pop-up menu, you can include titles, keywords, and location information with the exported photos by selecting the checkboxes.

File Name: Choose whether to export photos in sequence, or by their filenames, iPhoto titles, or album name.

Prefix for sequential: If you choose Sequential from the File Name pop-up menu, you can specify text to appear before each number (for example, Birthday01, Birthday02, and so on). This step is optional.

Click Export.

Choose where to save the exported photo files, and then click OK.

iPhoto works best with JPEG files, the standard format for data compression of still pictures. If you experience problems working with a non-JPEG file in iPhoto, use a different image-editing application to convert the image to JPEG.

While in iPhoto export your photos to a file on your Mac Book hard drive i.e. a New File on your desk top. The from the New File you should be able to move or copy the files to an external drive. iPhoto won't let you move files directly to other drives, you need to move them from another file. At least this is how I was explained by "Apple" and it has worked fine ever since for me. i hope this works for you too.

Thank you Cameoblue. That now makes sense to me.
