Cant select photoshop as editor in iphoto

I installed Photoshop CS5 (Demo). In iPhoto I cannot select photoshop as the external editor. It isn't in the list.
Any ideas?

iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced; Select whatever app si there and the window to select another will appear.
Failing that
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Using windows based photoshop as editor in iPhoto

    Hi all!  Long time Windows user just made the switch.  Trying to save some money on software, total newby to Mac.  If I use Parallels and install a windows version of Photoshop, can I use that as the photo editor in iPhoto?  I know that you can do this with the Mac version of photoshop, but I wasn't sure how integrated programs working through parallels could be.
    Thanks,
    JC

    You may be able to however why don't you contact Adobe and see what the policy is for switching platforms, you may be surprised.

  • Using Photoshop Elements as External Editor for iPhoto

    I have set up iPhoto so that I can use Photoshop Elements as the external editor. When I select a photo and choose 'External Editor,' Elements comes up but my photo is not displayed.

    Hi Toomuchtrouble000,
    When you are making the settings from iPhoto, make sure you select Photoshop Elements Editor, which is present in Support Files, not Photoshop Elements 11, which is actually the Welcome Screen.
    Please change that setting.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I select another external editor?

    iPhoto 11.
    How do I select another external editor in iPhoto 9.2.1? I have Aperture, Pixelmator and PSE installed but only PSE comes up in the selection box under "Advanced".

    I'm a little reluctant to dedicate my use to it because Apple appears to be dropping support for their pro-apps, Mac Pro's and so on.
    I wouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet.
    , I don't like the duplicates, faces, keywords being divorced from the photo and more annoyances than I care to enumerate.
    I'm not sure what duplicates your referring to. If you mean when sending to an External editor, well stacking will hide that in Aperture. Faces can be turned off in Aperture (not in iPhoto) and keywords have always been stored in the database not the photos in every iteration of iPhoto. They can only be written to the file on export. Nothing different there.

  • When using Photoshop Elements 9 as external editor my iPhoto version does not update

    I am using Photoshop Elements 9 as an external editor in iPhoto V9.4.2
    My photo's are Raw and they open in Elements fine for me to edit. When I go to save or exit I have problems. I get options to choose from - I am assuming that saving them as JPEG now they are edited is the best choice. However it shows me a file location where it will be saved and this is not the iPhoto libary. Even so, I save them where PSE wants to and when I go back to them in iPhoto they are not shown as edited (either in preview thumbnail or full version and regardless of which folder I look at them from). I shut iPhoto down and re-open and still they are not changed. I have watched the Adobe lesson on this and it is identical right up to the point of 'saving'. I have read other question on this and followed some advice but not getting the desired result of showing up in iPhoto still.
    Thank you.

    Are you using PSE and saving the edit as described below?
    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:  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.

  • I have set up photoshop elements as external editor in iPhoto but I cannot get the edited photo to open in iPhoto. When I save the photo Elements asks where do I want to save it and iPhoto is not an option.

    I have set up Photoshop Elements11 as the External Editor in iPhoto just as Terence Devlin said. However when I save the edited photo it does not appear in iPhoto. A drop down menu asks where I want to save the photo and I do not know what to choose. Also should I choose, "save" or "save as"? I should be really grateful for your help.

    I suggest opening iPhoto and reverting back to iPhoto in the Preferences for photo editing. Quit iPhoto. Restart your Mac for good measure. Open iPhoto and again choose Photoshop Elements in Preferences as the editing app.
    As far as editing, I don't have PE, but I have another editing app form the Mac App Store, ColorStrokes. I have been experimenting with using it for editing iPhoto photos and it works flawlessly. After setting ColorStroke as the editing app, I open a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button in the menu bar below the photo. Color Stoke immediately opens with the photo and I complete my editing. When I have finished editing I choose to Save the photo, leave the name the same and agree to replace the iPhoto photo of the same name. I quit ColorStroke and the photo in iPhoto now has all of my edits from ColorStroke.
    Should I decide that I prefer the original photo, I open the photo in iPhoto and choose Revert to Original in the Photos pulldown menu.

  • IPHOTO BOOK ORDER - CANT SELECT COUNTRY  in step 3 of billing info

    Does anyone know why I cant select a country in step 3 of the billing info page when going to buy a photobook? It works in step 2 but on step 3 no countries come up at all. And then when I go to continue it says there are fields not filled in, when they are!? (and yes, it is a country that apple ship to)
    Help! I need to buy my photobook in time for xmas and im stuck!!!

    I've not seen that before - a couple of things to try
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
    Go to your Apple account and re-enter (do not just verify) all of the information the and be sure one click ordering is on

  • When using photoshop elements as editor in iPhoto the pic does not show up when PS opens

    When using photoshop elements as editor in iPhoto the pic does not show up when PS opens

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

  • Selecting photoshop as an external editor

    I am using freehand mx 11.0.2 and have photosop cs3. I am
    trying to send a picture in freehand to photoshop. I go to edit
    -> preferences -> object and then i want to send the file as
    a JPEG but when i click on the button to select the external editor
    photoshop is not in the list. The only way i can get it to appear
    is if i change the file format from JPEG to psd.
    Is there a way i can get photoshop to appear in the list when
    the file format is set to JPEG?

    Can't help you with the specific problem, but I would suggest
    that you
    don't use JPEG for a number of reasons. 1) FreeHand doesn't
    always play
    nice with JPEGs, when there are "weird" unexplained things
    happening
    with FreeHand files I can almost always track it down to a
    JPEG. 2) If
    you are editing an image, using JPEG is asking for trouble
    because
    evrytime you re-save it you are degrading the image more and
    more. Use
    TIFF where ever you would use JPEG. Use EPS if you are
    including a
    Photoshop clipping path, even though FreeHand can handle TIFF
    clipping
    paths it tends to shift the location of it.

  • Photoshop elements 11 as external editor for iPhoto

    I have set up Photoshop Elements 11 as external editor for iPhoto on my iMac. I believe if set up correctly the edited photo should never leave iPhoto. When saving the edited version it should automatically appear in iPhoto. This is not happening. When either closing the edit window or choosing: <file : save> another dialogue box appears asking where to save the picture. Can someone please help me to set up Photo shop Elements so that the photo stays in iPhoto?

  • Using Aperture as External Editor in iPhoto

    I have selected Aperture as the external editor in iPhoto (iPhoto preferences), because I am happy with the way iPhoto handles files, with no confusion, but I love "brushes" in Aperture.
    Once I have edited an iPhoto picture in Aperture, how do I save it back to iPhoto? The only way I have found at the moment is to export it to the desktop from the Aperture editor, and then import it back into iPhoto. Sort of clumsy, when I get it from iPhoto to Aperture editor with one click.

    Once I have edited an iPhoto picture in Aperture, how do I save it back to iPhoto?
    You can't.
    Like iPhoto, Aperture is a database, not a pixel editor like Photoshop.
