PS Elements photos can't be correctly saved to iPhoto

Help! I had and still do have problems saving edits made in Photoshop Elements 9 to iPhoto. (I opened PSE in iPhoto, made edits and saved them. The edits, however, did not show up in iPhoto. I have a question in the support communities on this.)
I contacted Apple support, where I was given some horrible, bad advice, resulting in even more problems. Here is the newest, even more serious problem:
Photos edited in PSE no longer are saved in the iPhoto library. For example, if I open a photo in iPhoto, then open PSE from the edit button in iPhoto, and then try to save the edited photo, the default save locations goes to the Pictures folder. It does not go to any of the folders in the iPhoto library. I think this is because the Apple tech had me rooting around my photo files, and this is the last place we looked for whatever we were looking for.
I need to get PSE to put the photo back where it needs to go.PSE now wants to dump all photos willy-nilly into the Pictures folder. As it stands, I cannot edit photos in PSE and expect them to find their way back to iPhoto. Once this problem is solved, the other problem with getting changes to show up will be addressed.
A second Apple tech support person is looking into this issue, but any help from the good folks in this group would be greatly appreciated.

My version is speaking German - so searched for the english manual:
In the Edit workspace, choose Edit > Preferences > Saving Files
enable: Save Over Current File
Save Over Current File does not open the "Save As dialog box". The first save overwrites the original.

Be sure you're following this workflow;
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 or 10 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
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 (click on the Edit button) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

All photos can see in small icons in iPhoto,but can't open it or see it!

Dear all,
I got problem in iPhoto, please help!
All photos can see in small icons in iPhoto, but I can't open it or can't see it when I click on photos (it always appear black & white "!" inside big circle. I even can't sync any of these photos in my iPhone.
Kindly helps!
Many thanks!

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Photos edited with Photoshop and saved to iPhoto don't show up in album?

When I edit photos in PSCS4, rename them, and save them to the original iPhoto album, they do not reappear. When I use the "finder", I can see that they are saved to the modified folder within iPhoto with their new filename. Is there a way to save them so that they will reappear in the original album?

FWIW:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.

NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
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".

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Elements 11 the instant movie "In Loving Memory" mixs up the Photo/movie clips that i put in. Can this be corrected?

Premiere Elements 11 on what computer operating system?
You should be able to right click the finished Instant Movie on the Timeline and select "Break Apart Instant Movie" to do just that.
Then open all the tracks, expand the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline, and edit your Instant Movie.
Please review and consider. If you have questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask, but supply more details.
Thank you.

Elements 11 - can't see which albums a photo is linked to

I have the same photo in multiple albums. when I interrogate the photo it does not indicate which albums it is in. Elements 9 did this. what rick am I missing? Tks - Darrell

Photoshop Elements questions are best answered in the Photoshop Elements Forum here, but I do have a good working knowledge of Photoshop Elements as well as Premiere Elements. So, let me see if my answer here will help.
Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are standalone programs and each has an Elements Organizer. When they are both on the same computer, they possess the intergration perk of sharing the same catalog/database.
Thumbnails that you see in the Elements Organizer 11 (with or without albums) trace back to the hard drive save location for the originals. Thumbnail information is stored in a database/catalog.
When you decide to delete a thumbnail from the catalog, you also get the option to delete the original on the hard drive as well as the thumbnail in the Organizer (with or without albums).
To answer your question
If it is decided that the photo is not required in a particular album any longer, how can you decide with certainty whether the photo can be deleted from the catalogue and the drive?
It depends on how you respond to the Confirm Deletion from Catalog dialog and that the program does not malfunction in some unexpected and unexplained way. Right now I am fighting a problem with the Photoshop Elements 11 Elements Organizer wherein it refuses to delete certain thumbnails and hits me with an "Unexpected Error has occurred" message. Still working out that matter.
Are you referring to a situation where you have the same photo in several different albums and you delete the photo from just one of the albums? The message that you get at such a time states deletion from the catalog. I have found that in such a case, the thumbnail representing that photo is deleted from all the albums containing it since they all trace back to one hard drive saved original. If I do not select "Also delete selected item(s) from the hard disk", then I still have the original in its hard drive save location, and it can be reimported in the Elements Organizer at another time if needed.
I am not sure that I picked up on the "...with certainty.." part of your question. So, please let me know if I have targeted your question.
Thanks.

Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg? Can this be corrected?

Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg? Can this be corrected? In certain applications I have to manually change the ending so that the application can open the photo. Is there a setting to control to correct this?

When I mail photos (via GMail) from my iPhone they are received on my PC as .jpg files, even if sent at full resolution. Perhaps your e-mail service has imposed an attachment size limit, and in the process scales the attached picture down and alters the file extension?
What happens if you e-mail a photo from your iPhone and open the message from a PC instead of the Surface? What e-mail service are you using? (e.g. your ISP's service, or Yahoo, Gmail, iCloud, etc.) When you send the photo from your iPhone, are you selecting a reduced resolution?

I saved photo into iPhoto slideshow, but now I can't find it. I wanted to open it in iPhoto so I could edit the photo and make it lighter. How can I find the photos I saved into iPhoto slideshow?

I need advise about saving photos into iPhoto. When I chose to save a photo, I chose it to be saved into iPhoto slideshow because that's the only choice I had that mentioned iPhoto. Now I can't find the photo in iPhoto. What did I do wrong?

Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

How can I transfer photos saved in iPhoto format to a pc?

I got a CD with photos that were saved in iPhoto format. I have a PC and want to change the iPhoto format into something my PC can read and then copy the photos onto another CD in .bmp or some other format. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

There's no such thing as an "iPhoto format". iPhoto stores the pics in whatever format your camera took them - in most cases that will be bog standard jpegs. These can be viewed on any system.

After editing a RAW photo, can it be saved as a RAW photo?

After editing a RAW photo, can it be saved as a RAW photo?

Thanks for answering my question. I always have had RAW checked to an external editor which is PE13 on my Preferences panel in iPhoto.
I probably didn't make myself clear. When I send an ORIGINAL RAW untouched, unedited image to PE13 and do the editing and the
adjustments- (it looks great) and then try and SAVE it and forward it to my iPhoto library, it will not be sent. On the other hand if any editing
at all is first performed in iPhoto and then sent to PE13 for adjustments, and I SAVE it, it asks if I want to Replace this new edited image with
what already exists in my iPhoto library, I click REPLACE, the little wheel spins, I go to iPhoto and the new image is there. PE13 does
accept an original RAW image for editing because it will save it in PE13 in the RECENTLY EDITED column. Ideas? I need to keep my iPhoto
library intact. Ideas? Thanks.

PS Elements saving to iPhoto problem

Help! I am using Photoshop Elements 9 with iPhoto 11 on a Mac (Mountain Lion). My original problem was that any edits I made in PSE elements (using PSE as the edit program for iPhoto) were not reflected in iPhoto. However, after bad instructions from an Apple tech about this problem, I now have an even bigger problem, which I will address here.
I cannot save any edited file from PSE back to its original location in the iPhotos library. The Save location is the last place I visited in the finder. In the past, the file would automatically be saved in the correct location. (Of course recently the edits would not show up in iPhoto, but this is another problem.)
In the past, I could open iPhoto, edit a photo in PSE, save the file, and the edited file would appear like magic in iPhoto. No more.
For what it is worth, the Apple tech had me empty all caches on the computer. For my part, I also reinstalled PSE, but nothing works. For the record, I write over the original file and save as a jpeg.
Help!

I had two problems. First, the edts made in PSE would not show up in iPhoto, even though the paths to the files were correct. Then, the paths to the original file were lost and photos were saved into the Pictures folder.
But there is now good news -- I solved the problem. The problem is Default Folder X 5.5b10 (14688). I turned it off, and suddenly everything worked. The photos update and the saves go to the correct locations.
It finally dawned on me that I had updated the software. I tried turning off Default Folder X, and all was right with the world.
Thank you to everyone for your help and suggestions. I truly appreciate your help and expertise.
