Iphoto '08 and Photoshop

I just upgraded to Ilife '08 and now I am unable to view my iPhoto library in Photoshop. I can see the "iPhoto" file, but it is 'greyed" out and not an option I can click on. I've looked all over trying to figure out what's wrong...I can open iPhoto and click "edit" and the photo comes up in Photoshop, but I can not open anything in my iPhoto library from within Photoshop. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance !

The important part was "that's what you're supposed to do".
Yes, it was not necessary before, but directly accessing files under the library is the main cause of problems that bring people to this forum looking for help. Now, there is an extra step to remind you of the fact that you really shouldn't be working with the files directly once they've been imported to iPhoto.
As for other machines-and programs-most of them are probably not like iPhoto. (ie, most other programs are image viewers that don't require import and aren't based on a database that offers the photo management capabilities provided by iPhoto)
There are already several (read 'A LOT') of posts on this board asking the same question and even more people complaining of lost or damaged photo libraries as a direct result of users messing around with the files in Finder.

Iphoto 11 and Photoshop elements 9

I just upgraded to iPhoto '11 and am trying to get the Photoshop Elements 9 organizer to import from iPhoto. I get the error 'There is no media to import from your iphoto'.
Any ideas on what's wrong? Is iPhoto 11 compatiable with '11??

No, it isn't. See my post in this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12403886#12403886

IPhoto '11 and Photoshop

I can open photos from the iPhoto library within Photoshop's "open" command, but after I edit a photo, and save the changes, I don't see where that new photo is saved. It does not appear in iPhoto even after quitting and restarting. And if I overwrite the original, then in iPhoto, the thumbnail is still the original photo, and the changes are only seen when I preview that picture in iPhoto, which is frustrating because I don't have an overview of what pictures still need to be edited. What is the best way to edit in Photoshop, when you use iPhoto to organize your pictures?

You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Iphoto 11 and photoshop elements 10

i am a newbie.....i am using iphoto 11 and elements 10. when i am working with a RAW photo in iphoto and designate external editor, elements 10 opens and i go to the RAW converter. i then open the image which returns me to
the elements editor. i then do my thing in editor and go to save....i hit save but then a "save as" box comes up and tries to save the edited photo as a new file rather than overlay the original photo. it saves the edited photo in the iphoto/library/masters
folder but does not overlay the photo in the originating album. i then have to move the edited photo from the masters folder to the album from which it came..
is this the way it is supposed to work? or am i doing something incorrectly? i have set the elements 10 preferences to "save over original".
thanks for any help.

You can't save versions with raw files. The converted file is a new image, so you will need to reimport it to iphoto as a new image. Versioning with external editors in iphoto only works when you don't change the file format. (When you save over a tiff file, for example, while not changing its name and not saving as a jpeg or whatever.)
Please don't save that image back into the iphoto library directly. You risk corrupting the library and possibly losing your photos. Save it to the desktop or wherever before importing it.
iPhoto is just limited in some ways when it comes to working with raw, I'm afraid.

IPhoto 11 and Photoshop Elements

Has anyone experienced a problem running PE 8 as the editing program for iPhoto 11?
It's driving me nuts! Every time I want to edit a photo, a duplicate of the original is added to my iPhoto event. Then when I finish the edit in PE 8, close the program, go back to iPhoto, iPhoto can't read the edited photo. I get this weird thing that looks like a stop sign when I try to open the edited photo. I never had either of these issues with iPhoto 9. Help!

That's a change that Apple consciously made. Not a bug according to one user who talked with Apple engineers.

The following are tips on how to use PSE from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.
Although the above is for PSE 9 it should apply to PSE 8.

IPhoto 08 and Photoshop - suggestions on workflow and managing PSD files

Hi Everyone,
I'm a long-time Photoshop user, and a recent convert to Mac (BTW - I love my new Mac), therefore I am also new to iPhoto 08. I must say that I actually enjoy how iPhoto manages my pictures, as it is not all that different from how I've been managing my pics manually for years (by year, by event, etc.). I've read the various discussion topics on how to set up and use Photoshop as an external editor from iPhoto, and have not had any problems up to now.
I'm now looking for suggestions on workflow and managing my PSD files. I apologize if this is a little long, but I want to make sure I explain the problem clearly. Here's the scenario:
- From iPhoto, I choose to edit an existing JPEG file in the external editor, Photoshop.
- I perform my edits (including advanced edits with layers etc.)
- I do both a "Save As..." and a "Save". That way, I "Save" the flattened JPEG back to my iPhoto library properly, and "Save As..." a PSD file in case I want to do further edits on the image later (days, weeks, months later).
I'm looking for suggestions on where to put my PSDs. For now, I am saving the PSD to my desktop (using max compatibility), and then importing the PSD into my iPhoto library (into the same Event as the original JPEG). However, this leaves me with 2 copies of the same picture: 1 JPEG, and 1 PSD.
The problem is, I now want to go back and do more tweaks on the PSD, the end result of which will make the JPEG version out-of-date. I can either
1) Open both the PSD and JPEG versions at the same time, tweak the PSD, then copy and paste the flattened layers on top of the JPEG version and "Save"
2) Open only the PSD, tweak, and save a copy as a JPEG onto my desktop and re-import into iPhoto.
Although a little tedious, both options seem to work. Are there any other options? What do you suggest? I'm curious to see how others manage this.

I don't have a solution for you (sorry) but I'd like to comment because I'm in a similar boat. However instead of saving PSD files to the desktop, I've been advised to save these to TIFF format in Photoshop by a professioal photographer friend of mine (I think he feels its a more universal file format than PSD for archival purposes). The downside is the files are huge.
I imported high resolution jpegs into iPhoto. I then use Photoshop to edit and save the flattened jpeg version back to iPhoto (thankfully, keywords are preserved this way). I recently realized that I need to save a copy of the edited file in a lossless format like TIFF or PSD. Unfortunately when I save the file to TIFF and import it back into iPhoto, keywords are lost. This is a drag.
What I am trying to figure out is how I can retain my keyword info in the edited archival version. Any tips?
I'm beginning to question whether I should import my photos in to Photoshop (or PS Bridge) first, save the original for archival purposes, do the majority of editing and save a TIFF/PSD file and then import this file into iPhoto for keywording, further editing, downsizing, etc.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. 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. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto books and Photoshop

Hello,
I have assembled my first book and had it printed as a folio medium and large soft cover book. I discovered this forum after having sent the books up to Apple to be printed so these books have not benefited from the archived wisdom of everyones comments. Sure enough the medium book shows the half tone quality problems in the non full page images. I am hoping that I can improve the quality of my books for the next try.
Issues with the Medium sized book;
Image quality on the non full page images (I have since downloaded pref setter and made the adjustments as described in another post- one setting was at 300 dpi and the other two I changed from 150 to 300)
Issues with the large book
There was no separation between images on pages with two images. The small book had a narrow white space separating the two images. Is there any way to make sure that that line is there in the big book? (it did not show up in my pdf preview of the book)
Are there any tricks for improving image quality in the big book? I should say that my images are from and Olympus C8080 and they are jpgs 240 dpi 13.6" x 10.2"
Issues common to both books.
I found the text quite hard to work with and I would like to create a Jpg in photoshop that has the text that I want on it in order to bypass the limitations of the iPhoto layout. Are there any suggestions about Canvass size or resolution? Will the quality of text be OK?
Thanks so much for considering these questions

nektai:
The halftone appearance with the medium size book was evident in my books ever with the 300 dpi change. There was a post from a user who had received books from different printing sites in the US, west coast and east coast. His experience was that the east coast book better image quality.
Regarding the space between the two photos, are your photos cropped to the recommended 4:3 ratio? I did notice that if I put a 4x6 cropped photo into one of the frames and Control-click and select Fit Photo to Frame" it will be reduced a bit and leave a white space at the bottom and top.
If you're going to use a 1 photo per page layout and the text on the image file, you'll be best served to find a them that has a full page layout like Picture Book. For the large size I would make the canvas 8.5 x 11 inches at 180 dpi minimum. Then when you place it in the 1 photo per page frame and select the Fit Photo to Frame option it gets fitted without any cropping of the image. If the image is the 4:3 ratio and is placed in the frame if the Fit option is not selected some of the image will be cropped. If the Fit is selected it will be reduced so it will fit horizontally but smaller vertically. So use a letter sized canvas.

IPhoto, RAW and Photoshop

Dragging a photo to Photoshop (CS 3) opens a JPG not RAW. It only works if you choose to "edit in external editor". "Use RAW when using external editor" is checked in preferences. This worked fine in the previous version of iPhoto.
I would also like know if there is any way to use the RAW adjustments I make in Photoshop in iPhoto - without saving a copy in some other format.
Any suggestions?

I think when you drag a picture it assumes you're trying to use it for something, like an export, so it gives you the JPEG. It's a whole lot easier to click "edit" than to drag it to Photoshop anyway.
iPhoto won't be able to see Photoshop's raw edit settings, because they are different raw conversion engines. There's no way around that, except for iPhoto to use a rendered JPEG for viewing. Which is exactly what it should do, but unfortunately, they came so close but still haven't provided proper support for external raw editing.
iPhoto actually does use its own JPEGs for viewing imported raw images -- it stores a full-sized JPEG and a thumbnail JPEG in its library. Unfortunately it uses its own raw conversion to get these JPEGs, even if the raw file is a DNG with perfectly good embedded JPEG preview images. It should, at the very least, extract the preview images from the DNG instead of making its own.
However, if you go in and replace iPhoto's preview JPEGs it will happily use those for viewing. Score! Now I'm trying to figure out a way to automate this, as this will be the Holy Grail of round-trip raw editing in iPhoto. If only Apple's developers had gone that last step. I'd love to actually use iPhoto for more than casual occasional use, but this one thing is standing in the way. If I can find a way to automatically replace iPhoto's preview JPEGs I'll be in like Flynn.

IPhoto 6 and Photoshop Elements 4.0

I need some help on deciding which program to buy. I can only afford one or the other right now and I know there are other programs available with iLife but right now I am only interested in the iPhoto part. Can anyone tell me the benefits of one of these programs over the other? I am an amateur photographer and I like to print my pictures. So far I have only had iPhoto to work with. I have a digital Canon Rebel XT and have used the Canon software that came with my camera which I really don't care for. I have looked at information for both of these products but have not been able to decide on one over the other. In discussions on this board as well as the Adobe board everyone seems to have both. Can anyone comment on which product maybe I should start with? I do eventually want iLife 06 for iWeb but could wait until a future release. All comments are appreciated. Thanks.

I was about to purchase elements 4.0. I have used it for years on windows. Its a great product, but a real hog. Since 4.0 doesn't run natively with the new intels I decided to not purchase it for my new imac. The problem I am having right now is their are MAJOR problems with 6.0. If you don't have it yet...DON'T Buy it Yet.

IPhoto 09 and photoshop CS4

I'm new to iPhoto w/ my new macbook pro but am a photographer and longtime user of PS. I figured out how to use PS as my editor in iPhoto, but can't figure out how to open RAW files in PS through iPhoto. PS is opening RAW files as jpegs which doesn't work. So, specifically, I'm wanting to double-click to edit photos imported to iPhoto and i want iphoto to recognize which files are RAW and need to be opened with PS camera RAW. Is this possible?

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
iPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> advanced
Check the "use RAW when using external editor" box
And you might look at Aperture - there is a free trial and it is more adapt at handling RAW

IPhoto 11 plus Photoshop Elements 10 or Just Photoshop Elements 10?

I am a recent convert to iMac having started with iphone and then ipad. I now what to organise a couple of years complete unorganised photos. I would appreciate recommendations on whether I should use iphoto 11 and photoshop elements as my external editor or just use photoshop elements 10 as both my organiser and editor? I am using Lion as my OS.
As inferred above I have no tags, albums or libraries my photos are completely unorganised so no converting - looking at clean imports to either programme but would be interested in pros and cons of both routes suggested. For example would using iphoto plus elements rather than just elements give me better integration with iphone 4, ipad 2 and apple TV.
Thanks in advance

You can use Photoshop Elememts 10 with iPhoto just as you can with Photoshop or any other image editor. The organization features of Elements is essentially file/folder management and really not digital asset management like iPhoto. If you decide to use PSE with iPhoto the following should be of some help:

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
