Problem with external editor

I like to use iPhoto to look at my images large, and then switch to Photoshop. I have set up the Preferences in iPhoto to use PS as the external editor, but when I am viewing a picture at it's largest size, iPhoto refuses to open it in PS. I can click on the "Edit" button at the bottom of the window, or control click and choose to use the external editor and it just sits there. Never opens in Photoshop. It will work if I am viewing smaller than the largest size possible.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

There is a bug in iPhoto '08 that does not allow you to select a photo when it is displayed at maximum size. I suspect that this is inhibiting moving to the external editor too - although it does not inhibit using iPhoto as the editor
I'm afraid that until Apple fixes this you will have to display smaller photos to selct them and to open your external editor)
Report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Problem with external editors after moving photos

    I moved my photos from an external HD to the drive in my new iMac.  I did not change the names of the folders or files.  Lightroom still works.  The problem is that external editors, such as OneOne Perfect Photo and Color Efex, no longer work.  I can't open photos from Lightroom to be edited in those programs.  OneOne suggested fixing the disk permissions in Utilities.  I tried that but it didn't work.  I'm not sure the iMac even fixed the permissions, and the photos will won't open with an external editor.  Any suggestions?

    Reload the firmware update and make sure it completes.

  • I have a problem with external editing preferences where Photoshop will not launch when I choose "Edit In"...

    Hi. I have a problem with external editing preferences. If I add Photoshop as an external editor, it won't launch when selected, if I add it as an additional external editor it will. Why? How can I fix this as I need to use Photoshop and another program as the additional external editor.
    I use a Mac running OS X (10.8.5) and PS CS4 and LR 5.7. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance.

    I don't know why Photoshop won't start. However, it's possible to create external editor presets using the additional external editor tools. There are instructions on how to do this in the Lightroom help. You could assign Photoshop and create one preset, and then assign another program and create another preset.
    I don't know if deleting your preferences would fix the problem or not. It can sometimes fix other problems.

  • No new version from Open With External Editor?

    Is there a way to not create a new version every time I use "Open with External Editor"?
    If I want to open an image in PS, just opening it creates a new version in Aperture, even if I don't make any adjustments to the image in PS.
    I've deselected "Create new versions when making adjustments" in the preferences.
    Thanks for anyone's insight!

    Not sure this will help, but I noticed this problem as well a while ago, but have since developed a work around...
    All my files start off as RAW. When I use "Open in External Editor", Aperture generates a new version with a bulls eye target (this is my C2 version). If manipulate this image in CS and save it when I close, it remains as a bullseye target (look at the lower right corner in full screen). If I reopen this specific image, no new file will be generated. If I manipulate it in Aperture, a new file will be generated (but without the bullseye target) and if I then use "Open in External Editor" another new file will be generated.
    I have never checked to see what happens with a primary PSD file imported. And I am sure the meaning the bullseye target is in the manual someplace.
    So my workflow is RAW file-->all my desired aperture adjustments-->open in external editor for final clean up and modification. I end up with my original RAW file (Aperture modified and restorable to original by removing all selections) and one CS2 file. If I want several version off of my first CS2 file, I duplicate version of the CS2 file, and the open the bullseyed version NOT the new duplicate version image.
    Hope this helps...i know is seems wierd, but it works

  • "Open with External Editor" command bug?

    Seems to be a bug with "open with external editor" command. If I try it just after Aperture has been opened, it usually works (sometimes not). And then after a couple of photos being edited in photoshop, it sometimes stops working. When I try it, it simply gives me SBBOD for a few seconds (which it does when it's working as well), and then nothing happens. No new master created in Aperture, and nothing in Photoshop. If I restart the program, it usually takes care of the problem, and it will work again for a bit. Sometimes restarting the program doesn't even work, and I have to reboot. Very strange.
    Any one else getting this? Any ideas?
    I'm using 1.1.1 and Photoshop CS2.
    powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9700 (64MB VRAM), 80 GB ATA HD (5400rpm)

    Anyone out there? No one else experiencig this "bug"?
    Help, please.

  • Opening with external editor always makes new version

    i am a fine art figure photographer and portrait artist. almost every photo that i want to finish has to be round tripped to photoshop for retouching. in Aperture 1.5, i could select a photo, open in external editor (photoshop cs3), make my retouches and save the new version. if i wanted to re-visit the image and make further modifications, i could select the round-tripped photo, open with external editor, and the edited photo would be opened without creating a new version.
    now in Aperture 2.0, once an image is edited and the new version saved, if i try to re-visit the image Aperture always creates a new version. this is a behavior that i don't want. new versions of photoshop edits are expensive when it comes to disk space. and with 30,000 images in my library, i just can't afford it!
    in the preferences, i have the option "Create new versions when making adjustments" unchecked. that's the only option i can see that affects the automatic creation of new versions. any advice on how to edit the image without making a copy would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks,
    scott

    Hi,
    I had the same problem as the OP and was surprised to read that Ian didn't encounter that same behavior. So I started testing several options. This is what I found;
    When I open a previously-externally-edited picture from within Aperture, using the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘ O, Aperture automatically creates a new version.
    The same thing happens when I choose 'Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS3' from the Images menu in the menu bar.
    On the other hand, when I open a previously-externally-edited picture from within Aperture by Ctrl clicking the picture and choosing 'Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS3' from the pop-up menu, the picture opens in Photoshop without Aperture creating a new version first.
    Very strange because the pop-up menu command has the same keyboard shortcut as the commands I used in the first and second attempt.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Ivan

  • Aperture - Edit with External Editor - Photoshop

    Hi,
    I recently made my first attempt via Aperture to "Edit with External Editor" and in my case I have the preferences set to export to Photoshop CS4 Extended. The External Editor File Format (in preferences) selected is TIFF and as advised by Apple's Help menu this is set at 16-bit. The External Editor Color Spaces is set to Adobe-RGB (1998).
    I selected an image with some barrel distortion, hit the export button, and Aperture sent the new master to Photoshop. I did my fixing and saved. This automatically sends the updated file to Aperture. This is very handy and practical but I was shocked to see the size of the new and fixed file. The original file was a JPEG at 4MB and the new fixed file was a colossal 200+ MB file. I ended up throwing away the new file - too large.
    I am just wondering if this is normal? This is my first time using the Edit with External Editor in Aperture and I am also quite clueless about using Photoshop efficiently and properly. Could I have done something differently and received the new and fixed file at a smaller size?
    Thanks for your advice and help.

    This is normal.
    TIFF files get rather large and the 200 MB sounds about right. If I send a 1.63 MB JPEG at the same settings in PS CS5, I get a 134 MB TIFF after applying the Lens Correction filter and saving.
    If I send the same file as a TIFF 8-bit in Adobe-RGB (1998), I get back a 54.73 MB file.
    You could therefore send as an 8-bit TIFF to reduce the size. Additionally, the PSD format tends to return a slightly smaller file size (51.xx MB in the case here).
    A JPEG file is actually only an 8-bit file, so it isn't really necessary to go to 16-bit, but many users like to protect against further degradation of the JPEG when editing externally (especially from posterization where smooth gradients - such as a sky - start to break down into visible steps in the color transition).
    I personally send as TIFF 8-bit in the sRGB color space and if the image shows degradation, then I might change to the TIFF 16-bit (or simply not use that image).

  • New Photo in OS X option to edit photo with external editor such as Photoshop has been removed. will this be back!

    Hi
    I have just updated my iPhoto to Photos in OS X and i have noticed that the option to edit photo with external editor such as Photoshop has been removed. will this be back!
    Its now a pain to send a photo directly to my favourite photo editing software.
    Ross

    Thanks Terence
    Totally understand being a new app and not an update.
    So i'm a ammeter photographer and i like the way i can view my photos in iPhoto and i'm happy with the new App for this also, however i like to edit my photos in PS from time to time and i shoot in raw. As i can no longer select edit in external editor from the photo app i tired to drag a RAW photo to PS but this didn't work. i then tried dragging to desktop but this then made a jpeg so i loose my raw advantage. I would like to be able to find my original raw photos easily so i can edit them in PS.
    Hope that makes sense?

  • Problems with external context mapping

    Hi ,
    I am having the following problems with external context mapping from one WD component to another.
    Problem description:
    In the <i>Component Interfaces</i> I have defined a WD interface "InfA".
    In the <i>interface controller</i> of this compoenent,I have ContextA and attributeA(cardinality 1..1).The contextA is marked as an "Input Element".
    Now my webdynpro componentB adds InfA as used component.In componentB I decalre a contextB with attributeB and map it to contextA to set up the external context mapping.
    Now I expect that if any webdynpro component implements this WD interface InfA ,he has access to contextA with the data getting filled from contextB.
    After i have created the component for the used component I try to fill values in the source node contextB thru this code:
    wdContext.currentContextB.setB(value);
    But in the runtime I keep getting error nullPointerException for nodeContextB,suggesting that the mapping has not been completed.
    Can anyone suggest due to what the error can come ,and, if its a webdynpro bug ,is there a workaround??
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best regards
    Sourav

    HI,
    Valery : I personally checked  by doing the example, if the names of value attribute are different in the child's interface and parents component controller then it throws the exception.
    Sourav: NullPointer Exception is thrown when something is not properly initialised, if in the main component the cardinality of mapped origin is 1.1 then you need to access it element directly like:
    wdContext.currentParentNodeElement().setFname("Abhijeet");
        wdContext.currentParentNodeElement().setLname("M");
    i will suggest just check out if you are declaring some element of value node and without initialising taking its use or what?
    if this doesnt solve your problem, please post the expanded exception.
    hope it helps
    let me know if you face nay problem
    regards

    Does anyone know what's missing?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Jason,
    Thank you for your answer, but as I told, If I set an external breakpoint it does not stop for debugging, so I can't see table as you recomended. This process (debugging) is familiar to me, in last version I can do it.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks in advance, best regards

  • "Use RAW files with external editor" greyed out for Photoshop CS2?

    I've just upgraded from iPhoto 5, and the "Use RAW files with external editor" option in the advanced preferences is greyed out when I select Photoshop CS2 as my external editor (back in the General pane).
    It works fine when Preview.app is selected. I can understand that pre-CS2 Photoshop wouldn't be available, but CS2 is capable of editing RAW images.
    Has anyone been able to get iPhoto 6 to send a RAW image to Photoshop CS2 using this preference? I've written an Applescript to do it in iPhoto 5, but I'd rather use something cleaner...

    Works great with Photoshop Elements, opens with Camera Raw. The issue is you can't save it so that iPhoto gets the changes.
    You have to save it and then re-import. I tried all permutations of saving it in originals and modified folders in the library. No luck. The only thing I didn't try is to save it as a jpeg over the top of the full sized one iPhoto created on import.

  • Open untagged JPEG with external editor, then be attached with sRGB profile

    Hi there,
    I wonder why I open untagged JPEG with "external editor" (Photoshop CS) , then the JPEG will be attached with sRGB profile. Of course my color setting on photoshop is "Use the embedded profile".
    I think sRGB is the default RGB space of colorsync utility , because the profile is also sRGB when you check "Add Colorsync Profile" on iPhoto 6.
    Anyway , I want to set up total Adobe RGB workflow , so does anybody know how to change sRGB profile to Adobe RGB profile when opening untagged JPEG directly with external editor?

    Thank you for your reply , Lloyd.
    I am sorry , but I noticed my misunderstanding message.
    As you know , you can change raw and other image files to tiff or psd for external editor. You can select that on the preference. At this situation , if you pass nontagged image file to external editor , then automatically sRGB profile is attached.
    I don't think this is related to export preset for JPEG file.

  • Setting color space in "Open with External Editor"

    This has been touched on in the forums, but I wanted to ask the question outright: Can you set the output color space to something other than AdobeRGB when you use "Open with External Editor"? I can't find any way to change it... I like to work in ProPhoto, I saw some like to work in sRGB.
    Regardless of how the presets are set in the Version Export or the Presets, it will only come in to Photoshop as AdobeRGB.
    Anybody know?

    Well, to answer my own question, I now have it on good authority, actually the best authority, so good I can't say WHO, that there is NO way to specify a color space when using "Open in External Editor". Other than writing a script.
    Hopefully this is an oversight, and will be in the next update!

  • Deleted RAW file after "Open with External Editor"

    I opened a file in PS using the "Open with External Editor" command and saved and it saved the update in Aperture but I needed to make anothe change so I did the same as before using the "Open with External Editor" command. Aperture created another "version" so I attempted to delete the version and it deleted all the versions as well as the "Master" RAW file. I went into my trash to find the RAW file and PS file that I wanted to keep but the RAW file was not there. I don't understand why it would put the PS file in the trash but the RAW file is nowhere to be found. Is there another place that it would go?

    If the master was inside the Library then after deleting it, should be in the Trash, inside a folder called Aperture.
    If it was a referenced master it should be still in the location it was unless you ticked the box 'send master to trash', in that case it'll be the same as if it was inside the Library.

  • Open with External Editor Profile sRGB instead of Adobe RGB

    Hi,
    I know in the export presets I can adjust what profile aperture will use. But what about when I open with External Editor. I like doing this because I can open my image in PhotoShop make my adjustments then save it and have aperture manage my files. But when I do this it opens the file with Adobe RGB, my lab and I sometimes want Adobe RGB. How can I change this without exporting the file and reimporting the file. Thanks.

    Aperture uses a color space larger than AdobeRGB and sRGB. When an image is sent to Photoshop is converted to a 16bit AdobeRGB PSD file in order to get the largest color space to work with.
    sRGB would be necessary when exporting to the web and/or send it to a printer that requieres that color profile, and that's why you have it in the export presets.
