Another Iphoto '11 and PSE9 Questions

I'm running the latest version of iphoto '11. Just installed PSE9 and all of the updates.
I've made PSE9 the external editor in iphoto.
In the PSE9 prefs, I set:
- the color picker to apple's
- set on first save to save over current file
When I want to edit a JPEG file in iphoto, I select the file, and click on the edit button in the bottom corner. Iphoto duplicates it (that is fine) and the picture comes up in PSE9. I edit it (draw a big snowflake on it), and then select File -> Save. (Not save as). A save dialog pops up.
QUESTION 1) I thought the save dialog should NOT pop up? Help?
QUESTION 2) In the same dialog, the format is set to photoshop. If I click save, the changes don't show up in iphoto. Make sense-- it is in photoshop format. Should I have to manually select JPEG everytime? It doesn't auto select it?
If I change it to jpeg and click save, and then click ok on the jpeg option window, the file saves and I see the changes in iphoto.
In iphoto, if I now select the modified photo and select edit, it doesn't make a duplicate first. I guess it knows not to?
I edit the photo in PSE9 again (add another snow flake) and select file -> save.The save dialog pops up again and photoshop format is selected. If I select JPEG, the name now changes from IMG13_3.jpg to IMG13_3 copy.jpg.
Question 3) If I save it, it is a new file, and the changes don't show up in iphoto. Is this expected? I have to manually change the file name?
This doesn't seem all that efficient and could be stream lined...
Thanks

This may be preaching to the choir but here goes:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced 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/PSE 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 iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.

IPhoto '08 and Tiger question

Will iPhoto '08 and other iLife '08 programs work well with Tiger or are they written to work better/only with Leopard?
thanks.

Desktop photos: I've upgraded to iPhoto 08 and would like to select a folder where the pictures can change every fifteen minutes. I can't find the folders after Choose photos. Iphoto Library is gray and has hidden the date files in the Pictures column.
Any solution?
Thanks.

Iphoto - Zoom and crop question.

I have seem this question asked but I am still unable to execute this process.
I zoomed on a photo on iphoto to send via email and when I went to crop it (as in save the zoom for that photo), it always reverted back to the original size.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Alan.

Sorry I don't think I explained properly.
I just want to zoom into a picture of two faces in the photo, close up and then send it.
I have tried numerous times with no success.
Thanks

Another Aperture slideshow and iDVD question

When ultimately making a DVD, why do some people export their Aperture slideshow to iMovie and then iDVD, while others export the slideshow to the desktop and then import directly to iDVD (skipping iMovie)? I suppose another question is: is there somewhere an idiot's guide to all the various output and resolution options? I'm reading that if you export at too high a resolution, iDVD will jack that back down and then you get "artifacts." Are there optimal export resolutions for, say, Standard TVs and HDTVs when exporting from Aperture to iDVD? Thank you!!

MarkPek,
To add to what leonieDF has said.
I don't use Aperture for slide shows very often, but I make hundres of DVD's with iDVD and Toast.
All DVD's are standard definition, unless you use aa application like Toast and create a AVCHD Bluray disk. It doesn't mater what type of TV you play it on, it's SD. Some TV's do a good job of upscaling and the SD looks very good on them.
If you were to send a folder of full resolution 20 MP ( or whatever your camera is) images to iDVD there may be problems. I don't think iDVD is a very good at rescaling images. Sending 1920 x 1080 images or movies to iDVD has worked very well for me. I expect 720p would do well also.
I would recomend you do a test of a slide show of 1 min or less and trry a few different settings. I would try to export with a preset of Apple TV,iPad for a starter. Note that using Apple TV iPad 720p will give you a frame rate of 24, where as the other Apple TV is 30 fps. I have never tried feeding iDVD a movie that was 24fps, I not sure how that would go. I may give that a try and see what happens.
I use FCPX not iMovie, but I think that iMove works the same way. In the moive editing software you can just drag your Aperture stills into the timeline from the photo browser to creat your slide show/movie. But realize that the movie editing sofatware will actually use your Aperture previews for this. So your preview preference will determine the resolution of the images going into your movie. If your previews are set real low the results may not be very good. A setting that is closer to your monitor resoulton would work very well.
Do a test and let us know hoiw you make out. If I get a chance tomorrow I'll drop a quick slide show into iDVD. I'll export the same slide show with a few differnt settings and then put them all on one DVD to play back.

Buying Another iPhone - Pricing and Contract Question

I purchased an 8GB iPhone on launch day. My wife really wants one, and I really want a 16GB instead of the 8. She suggested I just give her mine, then go to Apple and get another, since her line is not eligible for an upgrade. Will I be able to do this? Would I HAVE to pay the 399/499 price? Would there be any benefit to reporting the phone lost? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I think (but not sure) that if you give your wife your iPhone it's not going to be considered as an upgrade and she should be able to update her service and have no problems, that's what happened to me when I got an iPhone as a gift and still had half a year on my contract. Now as a iPhone owner, you should get a $299 price on your new iPhone, even if you still have a contract (which you didn't specify), so it seems to me that you should have no problems as well with that. Upgrade your phone first and then your wife's and you should be fine. Don't report your phone lost, they will see it going back to service and it'll have to be activated, I really don't think you'll need to do that anyway.

After updating to Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list.

I have my iphoto library on an external drive, but it filled up. Can I have another library in another external drive and use them both?

I have old pictures in my external drive that I filled up. I would like to make another iphoto library in a new external drive and have this one for new pictures. Can I do that? And how will I be able to see my old pictures on my older external drive? My iphoto is 9.5.1.

Yes. Another way to switch between libraries is with this menu in iPhoto:

How can I save the iPhoto library ( ie all current photos) to another media / HD and maintaing the access to it

I am struggling with the export features of iPhoto:
- That is for the mac, (but also for iOs7 on the iPad would be interesting)
1/ how to generate a backup ( from the iPhoto library) -
- just rename it and then copy it to another device / HD ?
2/ what is the recommended procedure, to have several Photo - Collections, ( iPhoto libraries)
and then to switch between them.
Thx in advance

iPhoto for Mac
Back up:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
Switching between Libraries:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
or
File Menu -> Switch to Library
or
Double click on your preferred Library.
There is no recommendation to have multiple libraries. They're inconvenient.

There are too many questions "like" mine, so here it is: I updated from Mountain Lion to Yosemite, I can't open iphoto 9.1.5, I am directed to the app store, I "accept" iphoto upgrade and enter my credentials, but no update occurs. :-(

Attempting iPhoto upgrade from 9.1.5 to 9.5.

How many questions like yours should there be? What exactly do you expect the volenteers here to do about what you personally consider "too many questions"?
To move to iphoto 9.6 (required for Yosemite) You must log in to the App store using the Apple ID that was used to set up the compter (or purchase the application if it was purchased later), backup your iPhoto library and then download and install iPhoto 9.6 from the App store
If that is not working then you must contact App store suport - link is on the right of the App store window

Edited photos are not reflected in iPhoto 08 and a bonus question

I'm using iPhoto 08 to upload photos from my DSLR. I then drag them into Photoshop for editing and save them from that application. When I go back to iPhoto they still show the unedited version. If I drag that photo back into Photoshop, it is indeed the edited version.
Is there a setting to show the edited version in iPhoto 08?
2nd question:
When I use the finder application to navigate to the location of my iPhoto library, I can't "dig"any deeper than the iPhoto application. I know I can "show file" from iPhoto, but it some cases, I'd rather just navigate to the location through finder. Can this be done?

No - once you export a photo, you own it and iPhoto has nothing more to do with it until you import it back into iPhoto (which in your case is not what you want because it duplicates the photo in your iPhoto library)
-- BUT
There is a setting to make photoshop the editor for iPhoto and if you use that your photos will be correctly reflected in iPhoto
iPhoto menu ==> General ==> edit photos "in application" and select photoshop as the application
Now when you edit a photo in iPhoto it will pass it to photoshop, you will edit it and save it (NOT SAVE AS) and the edited version will be part of your iPhoto library

Another iPHOTO 11 exporting problem and glitches with PSE 9

I recently upgraded to iPHOTO 11 and PSE 9. I believe my preferences in iPHOTO are set properly for my pictures to be edited in PSE 9 (which is what I want). However, when I double click on a photo in iPHOTO it does not open in PSE 9. If I right click on the photo and select the option to edit in an external editor the photo does open in PSE9 9. Can I set up iPHOTO 11 so that double-clicking on the photo will open it up in PSE 9. With my prior versions of iPHOTO and PSE I could do that.
Most importantly, when I edit a photo in PSE 9 and save the edited photo back to iPHOTO, I am unable to export the edited photo to the SD card. Unedited photos export to the SD card just fine. Any ideas - I'm trying to load several digital frames with photos before Xmas. Thanks in advance.

This may be preaching to the choir but here goes:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.

I cleaned up my mac and now all my applications are gone. I try to open them and it has a question mark on the app icon. Everything from System prefrences, Everything in itunes, iphoto, preview and mail? Please help

These question marks are on your dock? And you can't open applications from your dock?
If so, try this: Open a new finder window and navigate to the Applications folder in your hard disk. The applications in question should still be in there (the Applications folder). So drag each of the application icons that you want to be available on your dock from the Applications folder onto your dock, one by one. Take each of your question mark icons that are on the dock and drag them off the dock to get rid of them. See if that fixes you up.
Now, if your hard disk no longer has an Applications folder in it, or the Applications folder is empty, you are going to have to reinstall OS 10.6 then do a software update to bring you back up to OS 10.6.8. You may be able to just go to the "optional installs" folder on the installer DVD and maybe all the stock applications are there -- I don't remember and I don't have an installer DVD handy to look. That would be way easier than doing a full blown OS reinstall. Also, as I recall, if OS 10.6 was on the computer when you bought it from the store, I think there should be an "extras" DVD that has a handful of applications that could be reinstalled from it, too.

Why Are there question marks in my dock that says iphoto, imovie and imovie hd after resetting my dock?

My iBook G4 used to belong to my mums friend. After having it and using it for 2 years, I did a dock reset. Now There are question marks saying iphoto, imovie and imovie hd. I don't have the installation disk with me so how do I get these apps back?

Do you know which versions they were? Sometimes they came on an iLife disc; sometimes on an Applications disc or Restore disc with the original software package that came with the iBook when it was new.
Doing a Dock reset would not have removed these applications from the Applications folder.
If they are no longer in the Applications folder, you will have to reinstall them from a disc.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:

Exporting a Calendar and Photos to a another iPhoto library

Hi,
I would like to export a calendar I made previously to another iPhoto library to continue working on it. Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Cedric
(iPhoto from iLife'08, Leopard)

Cedric
Unfortunately you cannot do this. A Calendar (or Book) is simply a listing in the iPhoto database file, and there is no way to export it to another Library. If you want to move it to another machine you will need to move the entire iPhoto Library.
It might be easier to move the pics you require to the iPhoto with the Calendar using iPhoto Library Manager
