Can layers be used to further edit a photo in Elements after editing in LR? [was:Tacoma Grandma]

Is there a way to use layers to further edit a photo in Elements after editing in Lightroom?

The "Edit In" option of Lightroom is the usual way. This creates a new image that PS / Elements can work with. The starting image and the new image (showing the results of your editing, once those are saved) both then appear in Lightroom.
Exporting does not pair up LR and Elements (or other image editing program) in quite the same easy and transparent way.
As to the Layers query: probably the most usual format chosen for external editing is TIFF, but PSD is also used. Both preserve any layers intact when saved (unlike JPG) allowing returning to a layered file for further editing in the future. These editing files include a further fullsize preview, if layered (this is unnecessary for a flattened file, in which case LR can just read that Background layer directly).
The preview is a losslessly compressed full colour bitmap, updated at each time of saving, representing the then-current combined appearance of the "layer stack" as seen within Elements.
Lightroom cannot understand about whatever pixel and adjustment layers, layer interactions and effects etc the file may contain -  but it doesn't need to, because it can look at the "compatibility" preview instead.

  • I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

  • Can't edit RAW photos in Elements 6

    Hello,
    I imported my RAW photos from my Nikon D80 to iPhoto '08 (v7.1.4) When I try to edit the photo in Elements 6 (by double clicking on it), the photo opens as a JPEG in Elements. Same thing happens if I try to drag the photo from iPhoto to my desktop - it automatically converts to JPEG.
    Any thoughts are appreciated!

    Ozark
    iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced -> Check the box at 'Use RAW when using external editor
    Dragging to the desktop will always get you the current version. Try exporting (File -> Export) setting the kind: to Original.

    Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
    Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
    If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk.

  • Can anyone tell me how to separate original photo files from the edited files in Photoshop Elements 13?

    We run a child sponsorship program and we only use the edited files and delete the originals after they are edited due to space restrictions. We are using Mac's and we save our photo files each month into a folder (Not Iphoto) and then pull them into Photoshop Elements 13 to edit and resize.  When they are saved, Photoshop Organizer saves the edited files in the same file folder as the original.  We then have to manually go through and delete the original Photos.  We tried exporting and that does only export the edited files, but is there any way to edit photos and then the edited photos go into a separate file?

    GLADIXIE a écrit:
    For all 5000 photos?  Surely there is a simpler way after we go through and crop each photo and clean it up and then resize it?
    I imagine that what you want, once you have edited your month files in their month folder, is to delete the original and keep only the 'top' file in the version set. Then select all the files in your folder (Ctrl A), right click on any thumbnail and choose 'Version set'. In the dialog that opens, select 'flatten version sets'.

  • Refreshing a photo in iMovie after editing it.

    I built an image sequence in iMovie, but would like to go back and fix some flaws in some of the photo's. I right-click on an image, select "Reveal in Finder", and then fix and re-save the image over the original with Photoshop. The copies in iPhoto are changed (iPhoto is where I dragged the images from into iMovie originally), but how do I get the photo's in iMovie to refresh and reflect the changes without manually deleting and replacing them?

  • Where in the order of editing a photo in Elements 9 would you add Noise Ninja?

    The company says it is best to do it as early as possible, but when you are editing the photos in raw in Photoshop Elements, i would assume that you should finish off the editing in raw first, and then going to The Elements Editor and reduce the noise at that time?  Would you use the sharpening with Noise Ninja or sharpen it as i have done within the scope of Elements, both in raw and post sizing the photos? 
    Ron

    When your photo is in the RAW editor (ACR), you can use the Noise Reduction settings on the Details tab.  Then, as soon as it's in PSE, use PSE's Noise Reduction filter or Noise Ninja.
    I prefer to do any sharpening as the last step, either with PSE's tools or a 3rd party add-in.

  • After editing a photo and turning off edit the photo changes

    So I am doing some extreme editing of some of my photos to get drastic, surrealistic effects....when I get it where i like it and turn off edit, the photo is ok for a moment and then changes to something completely different.....  any way to make the effects I see when in edit mode stay once edit mode is clicked off... 

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I cannot edit project in project server after editing it in project professional

    Hi
    i cannot edit project in project server 2013 after editing it in project professional.
    i.e I created an enterprise project in project server and then edit it with project professional. after i published it to the server and open it with project server, it shows the changes. but when i click on a cell, suddenly the task list and gantt table
    hidden!!
    it happens even if I start a project with project professional.
    I'm the admin user.
    what's the problem?
    Thanks.

    CU means cumulative updates, which are intermediate bug fix packages between SP. The latest CU for Project 2013 was release on September 12th. See reference
    here.
    Can you try to reproduce the bug with
    IE in compatibility mode?
    Hope this helps,

  • Photos go black after editing in iPhoto

    I recently imported some new photos into iPhoto and edited a few slightly in iPhoto (blemishes). After editing, I viewed the event they were in and the edited photos were black. They are not black in the thumbnails but when I double-click to view larger or go full screen, the edited photos are black. After reverting to the original image of the 3 or 4 I edited, the photos return. Is this a known bug?

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails:
    Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • When using some app to edit my photos, is the app editing the optimized version or the original?

    I currently have my full resolution photos and videos on my iPhone and iCloud but I'm running out of space on my iPhone.  If I choose to have optimized versions of my photos on my iPhone, will photo editing apps such as Snapseed or some other app be editing the optimized version?  Or will the iPhone automatically download the full resolution version for me to edit?

    I guess it would be the same for the videos?
    How long would the full resolution photos and videos stay on the iPhone?  Until it's low on space and then the iPhone will auto delete the full res versions?
