Question re. iPhoto and exporting files...
As I understand it, if you edit a photo using iPhoto it does not alter the original photo but simply applies a series of 'settings' that mean that the photo appears in its edited form when viewed through iPhoto. If you locate the original photo using Finder, and view using (e.g.) preview, it still appears in its original form.
I understand that the edits can then be 'fixed' as a new photo by using 'export' to create a new JPG (or whatever) that then sits alongside the original file in the same folder...correct? (requires that the new photo file is renamed to prevent it over-writing the original)?
So...if I have an iPhoto album that contains a number of 'edited' photos (which haven't been 'fixed'), but I want to send that album to someone else with both original and edited versions of the photos, do I have to 'export' each edited photo individually (to the location where the 'originals' are stored) and then export the whole album to (e.g.) the desktop...? And do I have to refresh the album in some way to make sure that both original and edited file are there before export? Or is there a quicker way...?
