Aperture 3 and Round trip edits with Photoshop CS4

In Aperture 2, if I selected a Master or Version in my Aperture library and then right-clicked and edited in Photoshop. Made my changes in photoshop and then saved it, the changes would be created in a new version in the Aperture library. When viewing the PSD in Aperture, all my changes would be visible. In a sense it felt like a new "master".
In Aperture 3, if I duplicate those steps, save the edited photo in PS CS4, the resulting image in the Aperture library doesn't show my edited changes UNLESS I press 'M' to display the master. This feels like a bug. In other words, if I toggle back and forth between the original version (which I used to edit and send to PS) and the new Photoshop PSD file, they look identical until I toggle the Master and then I see all my photoshop edits. Very different behavior from Aperture 2--at least for me.
Can anyone explain what I am seeing? Is this an expected behavior? I hope I was clear enough.

i havent pressed M, but I have noticed that it takes aperture a longer time in AP3 to display the edits on an image that has been roundtripped to CS4. If you jump to full screen from browser view it should show the edits immediately, but sometimes when i go back into browser mode it switches back to an unedited view. however after a minute (sometimes more) the changes will be noticable both in full-screen and browser view without any toggling. I think it's just taking longer to update the image..it doesnt necessarily require you to toggle M forever to see the edits.
at least not in my case.

  • Version Set is not created when editing with Photoshop CS4?

    Last week I was working in PSE7 and opening files into PS CS4 for editing. I open the files by clicking the Open with link and choose Photoshop. I edited several dozen photos and when I closed them from PS CS4 Version Sets were created in PSE7 like they should be. At some point that stopped happening. Now when I do as before and open the files into PS CS4, edit them, and then close them the Version Set is not being created in PSE7. I look in the folder containing the files and the file has a new modified date but it still has the same file name instead of being saved with the - edited name as before. Does anyone know why the version sets are no longer being created when editing with PS CS4? I can edit the files with the PSE7 editor and the version sets are created as they should be. Thanks!

    Okay so tha there is no misunderstanding here is exactly what I'm doing. From the PSE7 Organizer I select a photo (file name Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg) and click the Fix tab. I then click More Options and select Photoshop. The photo opens in into PS CS4. I make my edits click the x on the tab to close the image and I'm asked "Save changes to the Adobe Photoshop document "Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg" before closing?" I click Yes then click OK to save the image at maximum quality. I go back to the PSE 7 Organizer and there is no version set. I check the folder the original image was in and see the original file Tetons & Jenny Lake 026.jpg with a new modified date and time. I can even choose Save As from PS CS4 and it asks me if I want to overwrite Tetons & Jenny Lake 026_edited-1.jpg and I select Yes, but I get the exact same results. Thanks!

  • Round trip editing with BC?

    Is there round trip editing between Muse and Business Catalyst? Or once it is published to BC and gone live you can still only edit in Muse? If you add a BC tag within Business Catalyst it will break Muse compatibility?

    Hi,
    If you make any changes to the codes generated by Muse else where then the changes are not reflected back in Muse. So, next time you publish/export the changes are not there and you have to make them again.
    Also, refer to this kb article which talks about using the custom code in Muse,

  • Editing with Photoshop CS4 from PSE8 Organizer

    I have made numerious attempts to use Photoshop CS4 to edit an image in the PSE8 organizer rather than Photoshop Elements. There is a shortcut to launch CS4 which is Ctrl-H rather than the usual Ctrl-I. CS4 launched and I complete the edit. I do a save as but Organizer retains the Edit in Progress red bar across the image (edited version) and this does not go away even when CS4 is closed.
    If I close PSE8 Organizer the Edited file is no longer there, in Elements or indeed in the folder. The same happens whether I save as a jpg or psd file.
    Can anyone point out what is going wrong or give me the correct procedure for making this work.
    Peter

    Peter I would love to find a solution for you.
    There has always been a bug with PSE7 requiring edited RAW images from ACR to be manually imported back into PSE Organizer. This may apply to Jpegs and could have rolled-over into PSE8.
    As PSE8 is fully supported I suggest you raise a ticket with Adobe Support through the contact link but it does not guarantee a solution to your problem.
    This Adobe tech Note gives further details.

  • Can't edit with Photoshop

    I'm having an issue trying to edit my images.  When I right click on an image and go to "edit with - photoshop CS4" nothing happens.  I've tried several times with several images and nothing.  The other day when I was editing it suddenly started opening IrfanView instead of Photoshop.  Now, I just tried again to doublecheck and Photoshop isn't even an option - only Illustrator CS4 and IrfanView.  This is getting frustrating.  Is anyone else having a similar issue with the "edit with" feature?  Any ideas on how to remedy this issue?

    Yes, I've had the same problem using IDCS4 on Win XP. I got MS Paint opening and I vaguely recall what I did to fix it.
    Thinking it was a memory problem I know I 'Closed' and 'Re-Opened' IDCSC4 at least once. I must have closed Photoshop and Acrobat also to free up RAM prior to doing this. I think failing that, I rebooted (maybe more than once, and to a full, dead, shut down and wait for the RAM to fully discharge for 5 minutes, as I recall). Then I just started and launched ID only, and it went away, finally. It hasn't reared it's ugly head since.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS4... does not open the selected file.

    Sorry if this is an old topic, but I can not seem to find the answer and I was hoping someone here might know.
    When in Lightroom (2.2 or 2.3) if I select "Edit in Photoshop CS4..." or any of those dropdown commands, Photoshop opens....and that is it. The selected photo from Lightroom is NOT opened/merged/panoramaized. duuh. frustrating.
    So I re-installed Lightroom, updated to the 2.3, re-installed CS4. all with the same effect that Photoshop opens, but the selected file is NOT opened.
    Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    When you remove the obvious,
    that which is left must therefore be the truth -- Sherlock Holmes
    Short version:
    When I created a new lightroom catalog, and imported a single, standalone file, It worked fine. But when I imported to the new catalog, any photos from my existing catalog, it would fail.
    Turns out that I was doing something a bit out of the ordinary with the IPTC Copyright field. In order to make my copyright information look "different" when I would export a file.
    One would normally put in that field something like "© 2009 someone". I discovered a few months ago that I could make this field display as a multi line entry.
    ie.
    if you wanted to put XY into the copyright field, but wanted it to display as:
    X
    Y
    all you would have to do is to put a carrage return between the two characters. (hint ctl^enter). Now when you displayed the "copyright" in an output file, it will display
    vertically instead of all the characters in a horizontal line.
    After being frustrated by this for a couple of weeks, I simply started removing every option that I might have applied to photographs that I would import with Lightroom. One of the last ones was the "vertical" information I put in the copyright field in a Preset. (when you remove the obvious...).
    Funny thing is that no program really cares about the formatting of that field, or if it has multiple lines in the data, or special characters.......It even opens up just fine in Photoshop / Gimp / PSE / etc. with no problems.
    But, if you have multiple lines of data in the Copyright Field (and I suspect others as well),
    AND you want to open up the file from Lightroom in Photoshop, using the standard menu item of " Edit with Photoshop CS4", for some reason Photoshop will start, but never open the designated file. I would expect some parsing something just giving up after it encounters a CR.
    But.....All is well that ends well. Now I can quit obsessing, and move on to something else...
    Best,
    Jim

  • Editing with photoshop elements my copy photo colors change

    When I have a photo open in Aperture and I select "edit with Photo Shop Elements", Aperture makes a copy of my photo as it is opening up PSE9.  The copy photo changes.  I can look at the histogram and see they are different.  Why isn't this copy EXACTLY the same?  

    The file format of the newly created file (it becomes a Master) is set in Aperture Prefs.  Is it different than the file format of the existing Master?  Is there any chance the change in file format accounts for the difference you are seeing?

  • Edit With Photoshop Menu Option

    It would be nice if you could change the default editor. I only use PSE for the organizer and user the regular Photoshop to edit the photos. As an alternative, it would be nice if I could right click on a photo and choose a "Edit With Photoshop" option. I know I can do this within the Edit menu bar, but it would be more direct if I could right click on a photo and be able to choose my editing software.

  • Am I correct that Photos does not support external editors? i.e., in Aperture, I click Photos Edit with.... and can open in Photoshop or various plug-ins. Changes are then automatically saved back to Aperture. Nonexistent in Photos?

    Thanks Larry. That certainly gives me some understanding. Can't imagine I'm the only Aperture user with that concern, so I certainly hope Adobe and others will fill the void. Without that feature, Photos is pretty much a non-started for me.

  • "Edit in" Photoshop CS4 no longer working. Lightroom to Photoshop

    I just replaced my home desktop Win8 computer. I reinstalled all my software and for a brief period Lightroom (v. 5.7 with Camera Raw 8.7) was working with Photoshop CS4. Now, I use "Edit in" Photoshop and the Photoshop program will open, but it will not open my Lightroom selected photo.
    Yes, I have looked through the forums and tried reinstalling both programs. It still doesn't work.
    I am VERY frustrated with Adobe. Adobe doesn't seem to be providing an update that works, nor is it easy to contact the company for help. Someone please...?  Ron [email protected]

  • Lightroom 3's "edit in photoshop CS4" does not preserve "detail" values

    Hi all,
    I am giving lightroom 3 a try (finally...), but noticed that when I have an image to which I have applied "detail" adjustments to reduce luminescence and color noise, using "edit in Photoshop CS4" opens the image without the detail adjustments applied. I don't see the option to pick whether to edit "the image" or "the image with lightroom settings" anywhere, and I'm scratching my head trying to find an option in the preferences (both LR and Catalog prefs) that lets me pick "edit with lightroom settings applied".
    It's a bit useless this way =/
    Does anyone know how to make "edit in ..." for lightroom 3 always apply the image corrections to the edit copy?

    I had been looking for that option, turns out the only way to get it back was to reset all warning dialogs. After telling LR to render with lightroom, things look great again.
    Thanks!

  • Aperture 3 RAW file edited in Photoshop

    I did this according to the Aperture 3 Manual:
    "...select an image and choose Photos > Edit With > [application name]. Aperture makes a new master and version of your image and opens it in Adobe Photoshop. After you make your changes and save the image, the revised version automatically reappears in Aperture. The external editor doesn’t change the original master."
    I exported the RAW file as a 16-bit PSD file, made changes and I saved the Photoshop edited file with the same file name. It updated the Aperture image, but there is no other image, just the PS-edited file with the sigil that means  "The photo has been edited with an external editor, and is therefore represented by the original created when the file was exported to the external editor."
    But I cannot see the original master file. It's not stacked, it's not moved, it's simply gone. How do I get the original RAW master back along side the PS edited version to make more/other edits?
    Brian

    Are your raw files part of a raw+jpeg pair or raw-only?
    When I tried to reproduce your problem, but for me the external edit is working as described in the manual.
    Set the "External Editor Format" to 16 bit psd in the "Export" preferences.
    Select the image in Aperture's browser and use the command "Photos > Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS 6"
    Edit Photoshop and use "File > Save", not "Save as".
    What exactly do you see, when you are using Photoshop as an external editor?
    As soon as I use "Photos > Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS 6", the new PSD version will appear alongside the raw, and after I save the file in Photoshop, the thumbnail will be updated.
    Do you also see the new version appear, before Photoshop opens?
    The only way I cannot see the versions side by side, is if I do not set the sorting in the browser to "Date", or if the search field is not cleared.  You may want to check the sorting of the project and check for filters.
    For example: Editing a raw-jpeg pair, first with "8bit tiff" export, then with "16bit psd" export.
    If clearing filters and changing the sorting does not bring the original back, I'd try to repair the Aperture library - this may recover missing originals in a "Recovered" project.

  • Editing with Photoshop CS3 from Photoshop Elements 8

    I posted this in the PSE forum but didn't get any hits. Hopefulyy I'll be luckier here.
    I have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8. I do all my editing usually with Photoshop CS3. I use Elements mainly for the organizer.
    When I choose Edit with Photoshop from the organizer, it launches the application but the photo does not open in Photoshop. Nevertheless, there is a banner accross the photo in Elements that says "Edit in Progress". If I close Potoshop CS3, the banner stays there. I have to close Elements to get rid of it. If I choose "Open with Photoshop Elements" it works fine.
    That used to work fine with my previous version of Elements 6.0. Everything works fine in CS3. Any suggestion on what I might be doing wrong?
    I'm running Photoshop Elements and CS3 on Windows Vista 64 bit.
    Thanks.

    I have too much invested in Elements Organizer. 1000's of photos over a period of 5 years - tagged, version sets, stacked, albums, collections, ... I don't believe Bridge can do all of that.
    I replicated the environment on a different PC with XP instead of Vista. Same problem. There seems to be a bug between Elements 8 and CS3. I don't have CS4 to test it with.
    Come guys, with all the people in this forum, someone must have hit the problem or has an idea of what's going on. I logged a case with Adobe support but I doubt this will be a quick resolution.
    Thanks.
