Edit a photo Adjust window no longer floats

The Edit/Adjust window used to be movable, but now it's integrated into the edit window. This prevents the user from seeing Info about a photo at the same time as editing it.
So if you want to look at the photo info, it's hidden under the immovable Adjust window. Info used to be on the lower left of the Library window, and the Adjust window was floating, so it could be placed anywhere you wanted to place it, including on a second monitor.
But now with the Adjust window fixed, it interferes with my work.
This is a regression.

Haucke, the behaviour is this:
if you want to edit a raw file in PS and the ACR version in PS is the same as the version in Lr that you are sending from the raw will be opened directly in PS with no prompts with Lightroom settings applied. It will be saved from PS as a TIFF or PSD as your preferences are made.
A non raw file will have the prompt for a new file with edits or the original.
So from what I understand you say you are seeing, Lightroom and PS are working as designed.
You can see from my screen shot here how this DNG is rendered from Lr into PS as a DNG.....

Actually I think you are mis-understanding what I am attempting to communicate...
Two weeks ago it was all working on my windows machine. The prompt is necissary because it should be asking me if I want Lightroom edits or not after which it would send over a tiff or the other format depending on what I selected in preferences over to PS for editing. When I choose a photo in Lightroom that is Raw with Lightroom adjustments it should be asking me. Either way Photoshop is opening but no photo comes up unless the original is jpg. I used it in Windows 7 x64 and worked fine. Worked fine with Mac prior to last update. After last update it broke.
By the way, I am not a software engineer but have been involved with Lightroom since the first beta.... hopefully we can work together....

IPhoto 08 keeps crashing everytime I try to edit a photo or adjust effects!

Im new to the Mac osx and just started using the iphoto aaplication. It keeps crashing everytime I try to adjust effects or edit a photo, sometimes even when iI do nothing. When I open it again it opens with same photo that i was editing previously.
The console log shows this message
iPhoto[575] Crashed during previous starup . proceeding carefully
I tried deleting the .plist file but didnt work.
Please help.Its really frustrating.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If iPhoto works OK in the other account like Terence suggested you try it may be a preference file other than iPhoto's that's causing the issue. That can be verified as follows:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer.
There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9. It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions. When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.

Photos won't let me edit my photos. The adjustment controls black out when I click on "Edit".

Photos no longer let me edit my photos. When I click on the "Edit" button, the controls on the right side would appear, but they are darkened out and cannot be selected. Please help.

deleting them may be what gave you the mess.. I am torn- if I give bad advice at this point, going into the realms o knowledge where I am a newcomer might get me yelled at.
If it were me, and I was impatient for a cure, I would open iPhoto, connect the memory, open two finder windows- and from the window showing the memory with the saved pics on the external, drag to the finder window showing iPhoto, the pieces you had deleted, and see if they can get back into place and act like they were never moved.
The only other thing I can think of would be make a back up of all of iPhoto, then delete it completely and download a replacment, and never mess with the library again. HOWEVER: I do not know if apple condones or allows that- so you maybe need to get to a genius appointment at an apple store near you, or try to do the phone help.
Like I said- I have seen many warnings to not mess with the memory of iPhoto.... I guess this is an example of WHY.
I apologize that I do not have an easy way out of your nightmare.

I lost the edits of photos ; moved files in Windows Explorer

Hello, I lost the edits of photos because I moved files/folder in Windows Explorer, also renamed a few.
I have a backup of the old (valid) catalog and of the old file structure/ filenames that I made with robocopy.
But I dont know how to get this "old version" in my actual catalog. I did not use xmp-files.
When exchanging the actual catalog with the old one and copying the files from backup to the original place, I have the edits backup. But on this state all my "newer" edits are gone. Logically...
Can you help me?

I have the same issue. I searched and finally got only one answer is -- Apple suggest customer using iMAC to transfer and backup photos instead of Windows. How great the solution is it!

Problems saving photos edited in PSE10 to Windows 8

I edit a photo using PSE10 and then save it to my picture library in Windows 8. When I go to the picture library the thumbnail is the new (edited) photo. But when I click on the thumbnail to enlarge it to full screen, the picture is the old (unedited) photo. This was not a problem with Windows 7. How do I correctly save edited photos? Help.

Jodeth,
That's great. Yup, it's those little things!
You can always do a "save as" and save to the desktop. This will not change the image within iPhoto which is sometimes a way to go if you don't want the image changed within iPhoto but want to use the edited image for something else.

I never had this problem before but all of a sudden when I go to "edit" a photo the photo turns black. All the editing functions appear but I cannot see any picture. When I hit "done" the photo reappears. Why can I no longer see my photo for editing pu

For years I have had no problems editing photos. However, for some reason when I go to "edit" my photo the photo turns BLACK/BLANK. The editing functions appear but I cannot see the photo. When I select "done" the photo reappears. Why is the photo disappearing for editing? Have I hit a command accidentally that is causing this? Really appreciate someone's assistance.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database, if needed.

Using iphoto and editing multiple photos in photoshop

I set iphoto to edit my photos in photoshop. I tried to edit a group of photos at once, and it'll only open the first 4 pictures. Is there a reason I can't open more than the first 4 photos that I have selected? Is there a setting in photoshop I need to change that is preventing me from opening more photos?
Thanks!

As Larry said that's a "limitation" of iPhoto. Report that to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. I think you can go back to iPhoto and select another 4 photos and open them in PS with the original 4 still open.
For what it's worth:
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.
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 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
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 green corrupted screen in fullscreen edit mode when adjusting shadow

I am using iPhoto '09 version 8.1.1 and was editing a photo in full screen mode. Operating system is 10.6.2 and the machine is a MacBook Pro 15" 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo. Graphics card is ATI Radeon X1600.
I moved to the next photo but then arrowed back and saw a screen similar to the image in the link below. It obviously looks like bad corruption with the video card. The strange thing is it only happens when I adjust shadows in full screen mode. If I alter exposure the photos are fine. Also this only seems to happen in full screen mode. If the photos are in a window then they look fine. If you reset the photo everything is normal.
http://gallery.me.com/rsquires#100177/iPhoto%20Corruption
It looks like a graphics card issue but it is a pain
any ideas would be greatly appreciated
It feels like something for a genius to look at, at an Apple store
all the best
Richard Squires

I have a 2006 iMac with the same ATI Radeon 1600 card and a variation on the same issue - I get the "corrupted" image very similar to what you show, but it often occurs in iPhoto when editing in regular (not full screen) mode as well.
Here is a shot from earlier today in non-full-screen mode:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/613804/BadiPhoto.jpg
Same predominantly green mess. It also occurs in one other app, Times (news viewer). In both cases the behavior is quite random - I can edit many photos without issue, then all of the sudden this starts to occur. Even "re-editing" the same photo may give different results. Fortunately, the data is unaffected.
I'd love a fix!

The Best Way To Edit Multiple Photos On One Scan

Hi...
I would like to know what the best way to edit out photo’s from a scan that has multiple photo’s?
It seems like I must make a duplicate of the scan, in the amount of photos, on that one scan and then crop each “duplication”.
Is there some other way that is better?
Any suggestion, comments and opinions will be appreciated
Thank you in advance...

Catharsis:
If you're using Canon's Canoscan Toolbox application to scan the photos try deleting its preference file, com.canon.CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.plist, and try again.
In the CanoScan window make sure Select Source is Platen, Scan mode is Color (Mulit-scan) as seen in the screenshot below. That will crop and save each photo to its own file.

Editing scanned photos

The HP all in one I had before allowed to me to remove dust and scratches, restore faded color on the photos that I scanned. I can't seem to do that with this all in one. Is there something I'm missing or is this model even capable of that? If not is there some other software I need that will allow it? (besides my photo editing software) I prefer to fix what I can while scanning.

lapurple,
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I don't know what kind of printer you had -- likely whatever it was, the adjustments were still being made with printer software and not the printer itself -- perhaps it was Printer Essentials or something else that is no longer available. Much has changed in the last several years.
The following assumes you have already scanned in a Photo (.jpg file) to your Pictures (or other) Folder.
We do have available a replacement for "whatever" you might have been using: Photo Creations is Free and works with the later (newer) versions of Windows and with Mac OS, too:
Print Photos – Three Methods: Photos Creations, Windows Photo Viewer, Word
The options for photo touch-up are limited to some primary editing features, including:
Colors, brightness, hue, tint, saturation, and red eye
Photo Editing Tools - General How-to
Once downloaded and installed, open Photo Creations > Click on Prints >
Select one of the Print Options (say, from the Quick Prints) >
Select Personalize and Print >
Select Add Photos >
Select Browse this computer >> find and add your Photo >
In far Left column, Select Touch Up >
Under Second column, Select Image Adjustments >
At the bottom, Select Advanced Controls

Editing inserted photos?

New to photoshop elements. If I load several images into a collage and then decide I want to do additional editing on one of the images, can I do the editing within the collage file? Or do I need to open the image, make my edits and then reload that image back into the collage? I appreciate any help with this question!

You can edit within the collage, but with some reservations. If you're still in the "Create Photo Collage" workspace, you can switch to Advanced Mode to see the layers and gain access to all the Toolbox items, but most of the editing tools will require you to "Simplify" the layer before you can use the tools.
Similarly, if you've saved the collage and then opened it in the editing window, you'll first need to simplify the layer to use the editing tools.
What simplifying does in this case is to "lock in" the size of the photos that are in the frames. If you then resize the photos, you'll notice them becoming pixellated if you increase their size. If you do not simplify the layer, you can re-size the photos without losing their highest resolution and becoming pixellated.
So, first make your final adjustment to the size of the photo. Then you can simplify the layer and edit the photo within the collage as you wish.

Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file.

Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file. The error message reads "cannot complete your request because of a program error" -- it is a very large file (I have been saving it all along) and I had just "flattened layers" and went to open up a new, blank photo file when it shut down. Is there anyway to get this file to open? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (p.s. after reading a couple of similar threads, I have a feeling it's hopeless. But I'd also like to know WHY this might have happened!) Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and for sharing the article--I did panic. Here are the details of my system:
Model: HP p7-1247c
Processor: AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
Installed Memory: 8 GB (7.48 usable)
System Type: 64-bit
Windows 7 Home Premium
I am using Photoshop CS3. It seems that I can work on photos and save them. But I am unable to open them back up. I have tried saving the files as psd and tiff with the same result. The error message is: "cannot complete your request because of a program error"
The interesting thing is that I can open up InDesign and "place" the psd file within InDesign (then export and save as a jpeg). So I don't think the files are necessarily corrupted. I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it last night, but there's no change.
If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Or, should I repost my question with this more complete info? Thank you!

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.

Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash. Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash. Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

For future books you might consider doing what I do: create a separate library for each book andcopy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager.
When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed.
