Can I link iPhoto with Photoshop Elements Editor?

The new AppStore PSE Editor doesn't seem to link with iPhoto like the full version

If you're referring to iPhoto on your Mac:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts 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..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
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:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Be sure to select the correct item in the Adobe Photoshop Elements folder as the external editor in iPhoto:

  • Can I store photos in Photoshop Elements Editor?

    I have OSX Lion 10.7.  Before spending $80 on Photoshop Elements 10 Editor from the  Apple App Store, I have a couple of questions...
         1.  Can I download photos from my camera directly to Photoshop Elements, or must thry go to iPhoto first?
         2.  After I process photos using PSE Editor, can I store them in Photoshop Elements, or must they be stored in iPhoto?
            Thanks for your help.........

    Elements editor is an editor, not a storage program. Even the full version of PSE that you buy elsewhere than the app store does not store your photos. The organizer program that comes with that is merely a database of the photos you store elsewhere.
    You don't have to use iphoto if you don't want to. If you want an image manager there are several others to choose from (aperture, lightroom, etc), or you can just use folders if you prefer that method.
    In any case, all the Elements Editor does is edit, not store.

    Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
    Thank you both for the replies.
    I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
    I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
    I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
    Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
    And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
    I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
    Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
    Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.

  • Loss of functionality / Can't open iPhotos in Photoshop Elements 9

    Recently installed iPhoto 11 and Photoshop Elements 9 (great app). I have noticed an iPhoto functionality loss: in iPhoto '09, Prefs --> General --> Double click photo: --> edits photo vs magnifies photo. No matter which one you picked, double click would open the photo magnified, either with either the edit tools already open, or the edit tools one click away. PSE was easiy accessible from right-click "Open in external editor." I had the best of both worlds, it was easy to go back and forth, using iPhoto for straightening, cropping, and simple repairs, and PSE for bigger operations.
    Now, "Double click photo:" has vanished. If I select "edit photo in: PSE," PSE opens when I double click, and the iPhoto tools aren't available. If I select "edit in iPhoto," I have to open PSE separately and drag my iPhoto to the PSE edit pane.
    Speaking of which: I am having a another problem opening my iPhotos in PSE9.
    When I select a photo and click "open in external editor", PSE9 opens, but the photo does not appear in the PSE9 edit pane! If I try to navigate to it, if in the PSE9 menu bar, I select File --> Open --> Nikon library, I get a dialog box than says "could not complete request because of a program error." I spent an hour on the phone with Adobe help, and the best she could come up with was to drag my photos one at a time from iPhoto to the PSE9 icon. That worked for awhile, then it stopped accepting more than one photo at a time. So no way to move objects between two photos, or use photomerge or group shot or any of those multi-photo features.
    What's going on here? Is this an iPhoto problem, or a PSE9 problem? And what to do? Thank you.

    Try removing PSE as the editor, maybe select Preview, and then go back to PSE. See if that will jumpstart it.
    I may be preaching to the choir here but here are some tips on using PSE with iPhoto:
    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 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 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 (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 PhotoShop Elements

    Got a new glitch! Started today....when I drag a photo to desktop from iPhoto it's a photo. When I tweak it in photoshop elements and save it for web it is a jpeg icon. Didn't do that until today. If I upload it to an image host it is a regular photo, but I'm just curious how I can fix it to going back to be a photo AFTER TWEAKING in photoshop elements instead of the jpg icon. Any suggestions? TIA.
    CW

    Hi CW,
    Not all graphic programs will save an image with a Preview icon. You might want to check within Elements and see if it gives you that option. Other than that, if it really bothers you, you can use a third party solution:
    there are many third party programs that can do this for you. One is called Pic2Icon
    Pic2Icon
    Another one is a contextual menu item called QuickImageCM.
    QuickImageCM
    check out that page because there are some other useful contextual menu items that I use all the time.

  • Can't select albums with photoshop elements 10 with iTunes 10.6

    I first upgraded Itunesvto 10.6 and the downloaded the trial version of adobe photoshop elements 10, never had any previous photoshop versions.  When I go into iTunes and go under the sync photos tab and select the photoshop elements for "sync from" I can't select albums, only all photos.  I have only two "smart" albums in elements, but I figured they should be seen.
    I tried a solution from another forum, but it did not work.  It was:
    1. Open catalogue in elements
    2. Rename catalogue
    3. Optimize renamed catalogue
    4. Restart iTunes
    This did not work.
    I'd like to avoid manually updating the folders as I really only want to have the previous 3 or 6 months worth of photos on my iPad
    Thanks.

    I solved the mystery. It had to do with the file metadata in the Photoshop Elements catalog. When I moved the catalog (pictures) from my old machine to the new machine, the path (folder location) of the images changed. So, although the catalog had cached thumbnails of the photos to display in Photoshop Elements (which tricked me into thinking that the path to the images was correct), the paths were actually wrong. All I had to do was “reconnect” the missing images (a feature in Photoshop Elements which corrects missing/wrong paths to images) and now everything works correctly (sync in iTunes).

  • Can't sync photos with photoshop elements 11 album

    I just upgraded to photoshop elements 11. When I attempt to sync photos in iTunes (to synch with my iPhone), Photoshop Elements appears in the drop down and when I select it, it finds all the "albums" in the catalog. However, when I select an album to sync, iTunes indicates 0 photos are available in the album.
    I'm running photoshop elements 11, iTunes 11.0.1.12, Windows 8 Pro.
    Any thoughts?
    Oh, and if I try to sync "all photos and albums" it still reports that there are "0 photos" available to sync.
    I've tried to make new albums, which iTunes "sees" the names, but there are "0 photos" available to sync.
    I've also tried to sync with a folder (file system) which works just fine.
    Any thoughts?

  • Adobe bridge or iphoto with photoshop elements

    Hi I am a new Mac user - have come from windows then linux and finally hoping to be less frustrated on a Mac!!
    I am just learning about all of the features on iphoto, adobe bridge and elements (which i have used before). I need the editing capacity of elements but am unsure of which photo database / organisational system would be best for me to work with it.
    I am not a photographer but have lots of photos and I do a lot of website editing.
    Currently I have several versions of an original photo, eg cropped and rescaled to particular dimensions for a particular site and in other dimensions for another site - some sites have 100kb limits, some pictures need to be specific sizes - eg 555 x 135 pixels but don't have such specific size limitations. i currently organise these by putting crop or web or header file name extensions to the original file and save as.
    I re-use the files a lot so need to keep the saved versions - otherwise I have to re-edit them each time.
    In iphoto it seems that I need to make duplicates of the original to be able to have several versions all side by side to choose from but this will triple or quadruple the hard disk space when i just need to save the versions (much smaller in size) as different files.
    Otherwise I think I need to save it to the desktop and then import it which is time consuming and messy.
    In bridge it seems more flexible for this particular feature but it doesn't seem to have all the features that iphoto has for other projects like making books, calenders, the face recognition etc.
    I know I need to choose between the two and stick with one, but am unsure which would be best.
    Is there a way to save various versions of an original in iphoto easily after it is edited in photoshop and to have some system of naming the files so I can see which version it is as it not always easy to see quality differences in a thumbnail?
    Thank you very much for your advice.

    iPhoto is a Mom and Pop photo organiser and you’re usage is a bit beyond that.
    In iphoto it seems that I need to make duplicates of the original to be able to have several versions all side by side to choose from but this will triple or quadruple the hard disk space when i just need to save the versions (much smaller in size) as different files.
    Yes you will. Aperture has the ability to have different versions from one Master.
    Otherwise I think I need to save it to the desktop and then import it which is time consuming and messy.
    Hard to see what that would save really.

    No, you can’t have different versions from one Master (see above) but if you duplicate a file you can give the dupe a title.

    Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

  • Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

    I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9.  I make changes, they
    look OK so I save it.  When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made.  However when I go
    back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
    This means it can't find the original.  They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening?  Why does it look like the changes
    are make and then I can't find them?

    I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
    pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
    back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
    do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

    >> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
    If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
    correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
    However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
    open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
    there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
    external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
    you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

  • Can I FTP large photos directly from iphoto or Photoshop Elements?

    I have been uploading large jpegs onto another server using ftp plug-in with Aperture. But it strips the photo info, captions etc from the file, which is crucial information for my clients. Does any one know why this is happening, If I could ftp directly from iphoto or Photoshop elements even, it would be easier for me as I don't find aperture useful for multiple batch changes in file names and captions.
    Currently I have been editing the file names and comments in iphoto, exporting 'version name' (other wise it exports the original file name) to a folder on the desktop and then importing these files into aperture where I use a plug in AperturetoFTPpro. I do have the export version box checked and not the 'master' box - By now i've lost track of which it thinks the 'master' or 'version' is!
    not sure what's causing the problem, iphoto or aperture.
    When i look at the metadata in aperture, I can't see the captions, but if i open the same file in photoshop and do 'apple i' the info is there.

    To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to FTP directly out of iPhoto that's built into iPhoto, but you can try asking in the iPhoto forum where if anyone knows how you'll be more likely to get a response. There is a third-party product called PhotoUpLink that the developer says works with iPhoto that you could try.
    The same applies to your Aperture question; try asking in the Aperture forum, though if you're using the demo plugin that comes in the Aperture Plug-In SDK, that's really not intended to be "production quality" but rather just an example of plugin development, so it may well lack capabilities or otherwise have issues. You might take a look at PhotoUpLink or Uberload for Aperture,
    Not using Photoshop Elements I can't say about that, but Adobe runs their own forums for that here where you could ask.

    An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
    Did somebody get the same problem?

    It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
    That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
    Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
    To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
    Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
    You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
    You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
    (Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).
    Be well...
