Can't see original and edited Pic in My Catalogue

I started using Photoshop Album Starter Edition yesterday. And I'm pretty sure that when I edited a picture, the catalog would insert the edited version right next to the original.
Now, I cannot see both the original and the edited version. I see in the catalogue only originals I have not edited and the edited versions of all the others.
In Windows Explorer it is clear that the original picture is there. Also, I can click on it and open with Starter Edition (Viewer), but that only lets me see a slide show version - no editing.
I've tried reconnecting and finding (using menus and buttons) and I get an error message that the file(s) is/are already in the catalogue.
The Show All option is on in the catalogue, BTW, and I have tried this on two different computers with separate downloads of APA SE (downloaded at separate times) with the same result
If I change the filename slightly - e.g. file001.jpg => file001a.jpg, then I can import the picture, but renaming all the files would be a burdensome process.
How can I view and edit both the original versions and the edited versions right next to each other?
Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm glad I wasn't going crazy, and there's a reason the originals weren't viewable. If I understand you correctly, the original can come back into view in PSA SE if I choose to "revert."
Question:
Does "Revert" mean that (1) the edited image disappears altogether - i.e., is deleted - or (2) the image doesn't show up in PSA SE's catalog any more, but still exists physically on the drive?
As to why I'm trying to fight PSA's help: Sometimes I just want to see the original and the edited versions to see if I really prefer the edited version better, or want to try different editing options. I know you can do this side by side in the "before & after," but the images there are not very large.
And I guess you're right about duplicating if I want to do different things with the same image, but that requires planning ahead, a trait which I ....
So, Question:
Is there some way to fight back and win, i.e., get the catalog to show both the originals and edits, other than individually renaming each original file and importing it again?
If not, then I'll have to look at the images side by side in windows explorer or do the duplicate option.
Thanks again!

  • IPhoto 11 how can I view original and edited photo

    I am new to imac and have been editing photos with iphoto 11. After editing a photo I can see the edited photo, but how can I view the original?
    Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
    Thanks

    If you want to see the original image then hold the shift key when in edit mode.
    Also does iphoto keep all edited versions of a photo?
    Not exactly sure what you mean by that... with iPhoto 11, when you edit a pic nothing on the original pic is changed, and all your editing decisions are recorded in the database. Next time you view the image these decisions are applied to the image as you view it. So, iPhoto records the edit history. Subsequent edits work on the aggregrate history, or you can revert to the original and start over.
    If you want to have multiple versions (say, one in in  B&W, one in Sepia) then you need to duplicate the image.
    Note that the versions are all virtual, based on the Master. Deleting the master will also delete the versions.

  • How can I see, use and edit contacts on PC without...

    Now I finally worked out how to sync my contacts to my N95 8G (see earlier posts), I would like to use this data, plus the calendar data on a daily basis on my PC and update it where necessary, before finally synching back to the N95 at the end of the day.
    Has anybody any ideas how this can be done ?
    With my old Palm-based system I would use the Palm desktop but the PCSuite (v. 7.0) doesn't seem to offer this functionality.
    Now the contct and calendar data must be copied there on the PC as I've performed a back-up via the Suite, but how do I get to see and edit this data (or a copy thereof) on the PC ?
    If Nokia can't be bothered to work out how to do this, has anybody come across any third party vendors who have ?

    Hi - sorry for the tardy response.
    When I saw that my Palm device was fading rapidly and that it was no longer supported by upgrades to new versions of Windows (a Sony Clie of 2002 vintage that I used for everything bar phone calls), I backed up my palm desktop contacts, calendar etc. to my Yahoo account with no problems.
    My other posts on this forum described my frustration at not being able to simply export a file back out of Yahoo that the N95 would understand, without losing bits of the contacts (e.g. all the telephone numbers). In the end I had to go via Outlook - my other post (copied below) describes how I did it.
    The approach is not perfect and I intend it to be a once only thing. I will still suffer the hassle of entering new contacts into both my N95 and my online address book as the Nokia PC Suite does not appear to accurately read csv files created by Yahoo.
    My poor user experience with N95 will make me think seriously about going back to a Palm-based / Blackberry device when upgrade time comes around again.
    1: Open Outlook and back up the existing contacts (that you wish to keep separate from your N95 contacts) by exporting them to the desktop in a .pst - "outlook.pst"
    2: Once they are backed up to Outlook.pst, select all these contacts in Outlook and delete
    3: In Yahoo, export all contacts to an Outlook format .csv file (note, Yahoo offers different .csv formats) - "Personal.csv"
    4: In Outlook, import the new Personal.csv file you have created. Check contacts. Delete duplicates, and check/update errors (i.e. use Outlook like the PIM that PC Suite ought to be and isn't !).
    5: In Nokia PC Suite, use the Synchronise function to synchronise the N95 with Outlook
    6: Select all personal contacts in Outlook that you just imported via persoanl.csv, delete them to clean out Outlook.
    7: Re-import the Outlook.pst file you originally created above to restore your original (work?) outlook contacts.
    Thanks for taking the time to share "our" frustrations. As you've indicated, after enjoying the ease of managing Palm data both on the device and on the desktop, the Nokia N95 simply falls flat on its face (despite the shopkeeper's assurance it was far and above better). I have found that at least the generic PC Suite has a means to view the calendar and contacts on the desktop provided the phone is hooked up by USB. I still had to manually enter everything onto the phone to get it all as I want it, and have decided to only put the stuff I truly need to have with me at all times. I also tried to download an MP3 program but it won't accept the format (and I thought Sony had the wrap on exclusivity!?). When Nokia or another company comes up with a truly do-it-all-right format, I'll be first in line. Meantime, I will take my Palm on trips, and will tuck the MP3 player in a side pocket. This was an expensive mistake that I won't make again.

  • After editing a photo, I sometimes get an error message that the "File is empty".  Can revert to original and start again, but file disappears after editing.

    So frustrating!  I open the photo.  Edit by cropping, adjusting color, etc.  It's perfect.  I click DONE and move on to the next.  When I come back, the first photo is gone.  I can see it in the album but cannot open it.  When I look at the file information, it shows zero KB.  If I move it to the desktop and try to open it, the error message says the file is empty.  I can revert to original and there it is.  Edit again, and again it disappears.  What am I doing wrong?  I am using iPhoto 09

    You shooting with a Nikon? We've seen a few examples of this bug with Nikons on 09 and 10.6, with no solution except to upgrade.

  • Iphoto import of Original and Edited Iphoto versions from Aperture

    I am using Aperture to improve some of my IPhoto 2008 edited pics. I'm keeping my Iphoto pics in their current location and importing selected ones to Aperture that I want to edit further. Following import of an IPhoto album to Aperture I could see both 'IPhoto Original', and 'IPhoto Edited' versions (great!). For some pics I have further edited the 'original' and for others I've further edited the 'IPhoto edited' version. For a few I've used Aperture to further edit/improve BOTH versions.
    I imported the photos back into Iphoto but I can't see both the 'edited' and 'original' in the browser, I can see and import only the 'IPhoto edited' version - hence not seeing in iPhoto some pics I have edited and want to use.
    What's the best way to get the other (ie both) versions into IPhoto? I want to create a book in Iphoto because I have additional Iphoto pics to include that don't need an Aperture edit. A key consideration is not eating up disk space.
    Thank you BW

    BW -- just wanted to underscore nathan's excellent but (likely) unwelcome and perhaps easily ignored advice:
    Don't use both applications for storing your pictures or for photo editing.
    What you want to do -- use iPhoto (a superb program, imho) for image management of most image editing, and then export to Aperture for just a few images -- is a good idea on the face of it but difficult to implement and practically impossible to maintain.
    Examine your options, take into proper account your experience and your needs, and choose one or the other ^1^. Images which need additional work which you can't accomplish in iPhoto should be edited using an external editor (such as PSCS5 or PSE or others).
    1. The programs (Aperture and iPhoto) are extremely different in concept and depth. Search the forum for some of those differences. Imho, Aperture takes 50x as long to learn as iPhoto. The curve is not steep, but it is long. Aperture is much more powerful than iPhoto.
    PS: As soon as you can, get the largest fast internal drive you can afford. And make multiple back-ups of your Libraries. If you know you can always restore a Library, deleting one isn't terrifying.

  • I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. In Acrobat 9 Pro

    I can't see how to edit PDF inside Portfolio for Acrobat X. I can do this in Acrobat 9 Pro with the Document pull down menu. Did they take this away in Acrobat X?

    Whether it's maxed or not doesn't make any difference.
    The bottom part of the image/scroll bar is always under the Windows taskbar any time the URL is opened.
    It is always fixed by doing something, either switching to and back from another window, or turning on and off one or more toolbars.
    That shouldn't be necessary. The bottom part should be visible when the URL is opened.

  • Combining original and edited versions of photos?

    Is there some way to "combine" photos in iPhoto such that edits I've made outside of iPhoto register as modified versions of the original images? (I only started using iPhoto last year, but I have original and edited versions of photos from before then. The same happens if I take a photo on my iPhone and edit it via an app before importing it to iPhoto.)
    Thanks!

    Well, I have gotten one thing to work: "edit" the original photo, save it without changes, open that file (under the Modified/ folder in my iPhoto Library), copy the modified file into that location, delete the "modified" photo and rename the actual modified file to that name, and then iPhoto sees it.
    Lot of work though…
    *And VERY dangerous*
    NEVER make any changes to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder - doing so carries a very high risk of corrupting your library and causing loss of data and possibly photos
    The only safe way is to export the edited photo(s) and then import back to iPhoto and delete the old unedited photos using iPhoto - trying to do it with the finder as you are may work if you never make a mistake but it is VERY dangerous and should not be done

  • I am going on an Alaskan Cruise that has no internet service, can I still import and edit my photos? Do I have to have internet for Lightroom 5?

    I am going on an Alaskan Cruise that has no internet service, can I still import and edit my photos? Do I have to have internet for Lightroom 5?  Any help with this question would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    If you have purchased the perpetual license version of Lightroom, no internet is needed.
    Someone else can probably answer if you have the Creative Cloud version, but I seem to recall that it only has to "log in" to Adobe to check that you've paid once every 30 days.

      I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

    My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine.  The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart.  I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky.  I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe.  My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.
