Using iPhoto 09 with Adobe CS4

Hi,
I am trying to use iPhoto 09 with Adobe CS4.
I have Adobe as the default external editor and when I click on edit file, it opens the file in CS4. The problem is when I save the file, the changes are not reflected in the image and don't show up in iPhoto.
I found this:
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.
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 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..
But that doesn't work for me. The original file just shows up again. Any ideas?
Thanks..

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The following will help you use PS with iPhoto:

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 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". 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

  • IPhoto With Adobe Elements Or CS4

    I'm trying to use iPhoto with Adobe Elements (and/or CS4) as my default editor.
    I have the files in RAW / NEF format and I click to edit in external editor.
    My goal is to save the changes I've made back into iPhoto (overwriting my old version) without saving it as an external file and reimporting it in.
    I read on an IPhoto site this;
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    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.

    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work.
    When I save the file, it saves a JPEG version in the iPhoto directory, but it doesn't show up when I go back to iPhoto.  I'm also wondering why I can't save it back as a NEF file (shouldn't I do that since it's a RAW image to start)?
    What's the proper way to work with iPhoto and Photoshop?
    I know there are purists that seem to push to use Bridge, but i've grown to like iPhoto's features, tagging, etc.   How can I do this?
    Thanks..

  • Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4

    Epson Stylus Pro 9800 errors on 32-bit Windows 7 with Adobe CS4
    Question: We are experiencing some major errors with printing to our Epson Stylus 9800 Pro. Some of our large files are spooling about 16K, then crashing Photoshop. Sometimes we are getting partial prints (the left most 3-4 inches of print, or the file starting to print about 1/2 way into the file itself), sometimes it just spools for a few minutes, then stops, with nothing coming from the printer at all.
    At Epson's request, we have tried the following:
    reinstalling Windows 7 print driver
    Reinstalling Adobe CS 4
    Installed NEW NIC in printer
    Installed new network line to printer
    Installed new main board on printer
    Printed from a PC directly connected to printer via USB and crossover cable
    This issue is very bizarre in that it is random and sporatic. Same file will cause one of the above errors, then, another attempt to print same file will be successful. We have several Windows 7 machines that get the issue, while several Windows XP machines are fine. Epson instructed us to install the newest (win7) driver on the XP machines, issue then affects XP machines. Uninstalling new driver and re-installing old driver on XP machines resolves issue on XP machines.
    Is this an issue with the Epson driver? CS4 on Windows 7? Or some other malady?

  • Is it legal to buy a used laptop with Adobe software on it?

    I'm thinking about buying a used laptop with Adobe CS5 Master Collection on it.
    Would I be able to use this software if I wasn't the original purchaser?
    How does licensing work in a situation like this?

    Hi Darryl,
    Provided it isn't an Education version (which are non-transferrable with Adobe), plus if you meet the other criteria for a license transfer, then it could be possible to legally do it.

  • Can i use iPhoto with my ipad2?

    Is it possible to use iPhoto with an ipad2

    The iPhoto app for iPad is now available. You must have iOS 5.1 installed and iPhoto will run on an iPad 2 and the new iPad. If a search in the app store does not find iPhoto yet go to the Apple Store website here:
    http://www.apple.com/ipad/from-the-app-store/apps-by-apple/iphoto.html
    Scroll down to near the bottom to find a link for the iPhoto app for iPad.

  • Is OnLocation available with CC service? I want to use it with Adobe Story.

    Is OnLocation available with CC service? I want to use it with Adobe Story.
    I have never had a copy of OnLocation, but it looks to be a great way to manage Adobe Story and the workflow for shoots.
    Is there something else that is exports to that works similar to OnLocation?
    help

    I see that I can view Adobe Story in two locations of Premiere Pro. As a window and under File, Adobe Story (which is usually grayed out).
    I have exported the script as an .astx, Opened PP and clicked file, Adobe Story, Attach Script File ; then I am not sure what to do to see it.
    I clicked on Metadata but there is nothing there.
    The Window, Adobe Story shows dialog and scene no. and est duration. Is that all I should see? Why the Attach Script File option? And what about seeing the schedule?
    Thx Troy

  • IPhoto with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and Adobe Bridge

    I have not used iPhoto before now as I have been downloading photos from my Canon and Nikon cameras using their software. I have now moved everything into iPhoto but cannot find iPhoto using Adobe Bridge so I am unable to do any editing using Elements 4. Previously I could find the Canon and Nikon photos using Adobe Bridge. With a simple click on the relevant photo it opened up in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and I was able to edit it. Now using Bridge I simply cannot find iPhoto thus I cannot use PSE4. Can someone help before I go crazy ? I havde called Apple support but they have been unable to help me and suggested using Discussions@Apple

    Many thanks for your quick response although, as a new iMac user, the mere mention of the word "corrupt" scares me ! I previously used a PC with Windows XP and PSE3 and loved being able to sort all my photos into albums with PSE3. Unfortunately the PSE4 which I have installed on my iMac doesn't let users sort their photos into albums and the only alternative is Adobe Bridge. I only recently started to use iPhoto after a visit to an Apple Store and it's great being able to catalog my photos so easily. Unfortunately PSE is far and away superior to any editing software that iPhoto has to offer. Anyway, I'll cross my fingers and try your suggestion first thing tomorrow morning.

  • Is Lion compatible with Adobe CS4 products?

    I have heard that Lion doesn't work well with many Adobe products once upgraded.
    I have all of the Adobe CS4 Design Suite products, does it work well for others?
    Thanks-

    I only have Photoshop CS4 and it works just fine for
    me including the Neat Image plug in.  Remember to
    install Java for Lion.  It is a seperate download and for
    whatever reason is not part of the Lion install.
    FYI, I am using it on an early 2009 iMac, 2.66 GHz,
    with 8 gig of RAM.

  • Does Mountain Lion work with Adobe CS4?

    This may have already been asked, but I didn't see it when searching. Sorry if its a duplicate question.
    I have the Adobe CS4 Master Suite running on my imac (27" Quad core i7 processor at 2.93GHz with 8GB ram) currently running very smoothly on 10.6.8. I'm thinking of upgrading to 10.8. My question is does the upgrade break or slow down anything in the Adobe CS4 Suite? I mainly use Illustrator, Acrobat and Photoshop for my work and occasionally run Indesign, Fireworks or Dreamweaver (all CS4)
    Any help or comments would be appreciated before I buy and download the 10.8 update. If any of the programs I mentioned have issues, are they major or minor?
    Thanks!

    Yes.
    Are my applications compatible?

  • How to use iPhoto with 1 photo library and 2 user accounts on 1 iMac ?

    Title says it all.
    I don't want to have a double picture library, it takes enough space from my harddisk already.
    My wife and I share the same camera too. We want to see the same pictures when using iPhoto.
    Possible solution: Do I have to make a softlink from 1 user account to the photo lib that belongs to the other account ? [in Terminal:  ln /Users/.... etc.)
    (Yes, I'm an ex-Linux user)
    Thnx
    Fred4711

    If you want to have the same data, do you need separate accounts? A surprising number of people think that must have separate ccounts and they really don't need to.
    Anyway:
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Using iphoto with iphoto library on external hard drive

    My Imac is running snow leopard with ilife '11. I have imported way too many photos into Iphoto which is really slowing it down. I'd like to put all of my photos on an external hard drive and use that as my iphoto library--which should be possible, as I gather from reading various other related posts. Another reason to put it on an external drive is so that I can use my new macbook air to edit/organize while on the go.
    1. How do I set up my Iphoto library on an external hard drive?
    2. How do I make sure that all future photos go to the library on that external hard drive?
    3. How do I run Iphoto with the library on an external hard drive?
    THANK YOU for your help!

    Hello. I just transferred my iPhoto library to a Western Digital My Book for Mac external hard drive. Do you know if I needed to format this drive even though it says it's for Mac. I did not format it and there were not any instructions with the drive that said I needed to do it. The transfer seems to have worked ok but my backups from Time Machine onto Time Capsule are inconsistent. I already posed a question regarding this problem but I noticed this message regarding formating the external disk and I wonder if that is causing the problem. Thanks.

  • Using Aperture with Adobe Bridge: Can It Work?

    I have used all the Adobe apps for ages and love them.
    Photoshop and Bridge are a mainstay of our studio operation here.
    I have been using Adobe LightRoom lately to deal with my RAW shooting.
    I take it to a certain point with LR then I use Bridge to do other things with my files. LR and Bridge can see eachother's metadata and XMP info so they can be opened back and forth between the apps as need be.
    This is critical for our work process.
    What Im wondering is can Aperture be used in a similar way?
    Can Bridge see Aperture's adjustment info and visa versa?
    Do they read eachother's Metadata and or XMP info?
    Does Aperture even use XMP data?
    Reason Im asking this is I admire Aperture's interface and functionality.
    I'd like to possibly use it in place of LightRoom for dealing with my RAW files.
    But without the compatibility with Bridge it wouldnt work for us.
    I read lots of Mac and Adobe publications and have yet to see this issue addressed in any articles.
    Surely other people are in the same boat as me on this one...
    Anyone have any knowledge to share on this matter?
    Thanks.

    Bridge and LightRoom can see each other's image adjustments because they are using almost exactly the same engine to do RAW conversions. Aperture and Bridge won't understand each other's image adjustments, in just the same way that Bridge and Nikon Capture, Canon DPP, Bibble or Capture One etc. can't.
    When it comes to metadata you won't be much better off, as any changes you made in Bridge wouldn't be seen in Aperture unless you re-imported the file and vice-versa.
    Basically, if your workflow is based around Bridge you are stuck with Adobe apps as they are the only ones designed to work with it.

  • Using iPhoto with batch Photoshop Plug In?

    I have a noise reduction plugin which I can batch process with PS elements, but using iPhoto, can I do that with the folder of pictures within the iPhoto library (after they've been imported)? Or, is that super dangerous to monkey with the files outside of iPhoto, so I should have done it before I imported them. If I'm applying to all the photos, it's too time consuming to click through everyone and do edit, apply the plug in, save.
    Thanks for your help -
    Alexa

    Just a suggestion on the workflow. Doing what you suggest will give you the opportunity of rotating any portrait oriented photos you take so that when imported iPhoto doesn't have to create a rotated modified version of it. This happens with photos that come from cameras with the auto rotate feature. Turn it off and rotate them while on the desktop.
    As far as uploading to the desktop I prefer using a card reader. It gives you more control and less wear and tear on the cameras ports and battery. *And it's a much faster transfer coming from a card reader.*
    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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
