Edit photo and save as original

When I edit a photo (Photos>Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS6), Aperture saves the edited photo (version) to the external HD, along with the original. Is there any way I can keep this from happening, i.e., save ONLY the edited file, keeping the original file name. Otherwise I have to manually rename the version and manually delete the original, or end up with a HD filled with unused files.

Is there any way I can keep this from happening, i.e., save ONLY the edited file, keeping the original file name.
No, there is no way to prevent the creation of the second quasi master file, sorry. The lossless workflow, that will let you revert to the originally imported version, is one of the most important design features of Aperture, and you cannot disable it. Aperture tries to ensure, that each and every adjustment can be reverted.
Normally this would be no problem, since new versions created with adjustments done in Aperture do not require much extra space, but Aperture has no control over the adjustments done in external editors. That is why the new quasi master will be created in addition to the original image file you imported. Photoshop will modify only this copy and the original is saved.
Your only option to prevent this would be to do all adjustments in Photoshop before you import the image to Aperture. Otherwise you will have to delete the original version manually, just as you described.

What is the best way to edit photos and save changes across devices (without using iphoto)

So I took allot of vacation photos with my iphone and created a photo stream so they can be viewed across devices. Some are dark and I would like to lighten them up and have the changes saved across devices. What is the best way? I originally tried saving all photos to my pc, editing them them, then syncing to all devices via my pc but, this creates 2 folders on my phone, the actual folder with said vacation name and a folder titled "photo gallery" with the exact same photo's. Not sure why it does that.
Any suggestions?

All photos transferred from your computer are saved in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below include a pointer only to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated as in taking double the storage space.
This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library. The same applies if you transfer multiple albums or folders of photos, or a single album or folder.
Similar to an iTunes playlist on your iPhone. You can listen to a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or listen to all songs by selecting Music. A song placed in a playlist is not duplicated as in taking up double the storage space.
You can place the edits in the photo stream on your computer, or in the photo stream on your iPhone or other iOS device, and delete the originals in the photo stream prior to the editing.

When I export my photos and save them as a jpeg. Am I still losing information?

When I export my photos and save them as a jpeg. Am I still losing information? Would I be better of saving them as a TIFF or a PSD? Also I know DNG is a digital negative, would that be the better format to save all my stuff?

I apologize if you already thoroughly know all this (I couldn't be sure):
When you export, you don't change the original (i.e. you never overwrite the original). So, you can export a million times and never lose quality (of the original), regardless of the export formats you choose.
Of course the quality of the export depends on the chosen format, and if the format is lossy (e.g. jpeg), then export quality also depends on the size & quality settings.
TIFF is lossless, so quality is essentially equivalent to the raw in Lightroom. It's the preferred format if a really BIG file is OK. Jpeg was invented to reduce file-size as much as possible without being too much inferior, quality-wise - and it does that very well.
DNG is good for some stuff, but don't export your photos in DNG format unless you know what you are doing and why... Lot's of people like converting their originals to DNG format, but that's a whole different kettle of fish...
Note, it may very well make sense to export a jpeg as tiff, since exporting a jpeg as jpeg is not as good. - reminder: when you export, you are not overwriting the original, you are making a new copy from the original, by combining it with develop edits if there have been any.

Use iPhoto. What's the problem with iPhoto import? It's a two clicks job. Select your device and click import.

IPad restart when edit photo and setting to wallpaper

Ipad restart when edit photo and setting to wallpaper.
took it last week and it got restarted thrice since then.
it happened only when I edit photo

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: 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.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'

I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working really slow, so I attempting to close aperture and reopen it but it won't quit aperture and now it won't open up to my photos either. Any ideas?

I was editing photos and it was getting stuck or frozen and working very slowly. I attempted to restart the computer but it would not allow me to quit aperture. Now aperture appears in my toolbar but will not open up so I can work on any photos. Any ideas?

Did you try opening from the Applications folder?
Depending on how far that gets you, I would also take a look at the Troubleshooting Basics.

HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

are my iCloud photos stored? I lost phone abroad and want to access the photos and save them to my iPad.

Photo stream photos remain in iCloud for 30 days, and can be accessed by enabling my photo stream on another iOS device or computer. Shared streams remain in iCloud indefinitely, and can be accessed by enabling Photo Sharing on an iOS device or computer. Your camera roll photos are included in your device backup. Restoring the backup to another iPhone or iPod touch should recover them (unfortunately, you can recover them by restoring an iPhone backup to your iPad). If the backup is an iCloud backup be aware that Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to restore the backup prior to that.

I had a trial version of Pages for 30 days and then purchased the actual software without removing the trial. Now when I try to edit documents and save them it wont because it tells me I am using a trial version.... How can I remove the trial version?

Bummer! Try this: repeat the fixes and once the domain file seems to be working make a duplicate of it. Then download BatChmod and run it on the duplicate domain file with the settings shown below:

Open the duplicate domain file and run with it. See if it reverts back to the bad behavior. Can't think of anything else.

Can I send Edited Photos and Video from Lightroom 5 to Premiere 11?

I am new to Lightroom 5 and love the product. Can I export edited Photos and Video from Lightroom to Premiere Elements 11? I need more flexibility than Lightroom offfers. I want to mix Photos then Videos with different music files and create a DVD. Thank You...Rory...

Also, can I load the Lightroom itself onto an external hard drive and keep all my images off my laptop? If I edit them, do the edits remain on my laptop regardless of where the originals reside. I think that's the issue that I'm running into with Aperture: edits stay on my laptop even though originals are on an external HD.
Your photos can be on any hard disk, internal or external or network. If they are stored on an external hard disk, then when you import them into Lightroom, you select the ADD option and the photo will remain on your external hard disk. The edits are stored in your Lightroom catalog (as opposed to "remain on my laptop"). Once you import photos into Lightroom, you no longer want to manage them (move, copy, delete) using your operating system. You do all photo management in Lightroom.
If you transfer the photos properly, your edits, cropping, metadata, etc. will transfer to Lightroom, but I will leave the details to some expert on Aperture.
If I could offer some advice, I don't think you want to just transfer SOME of your photos to Lightroom. In my opinion, you want ALL of your photos managed by Lightroom, and not some in application 1 and some in application 2. This makes your life much easier when trying to find your photos, you don't have to think "Is this photo in Lightroom or is this in Aperture?" (Note: this doesn't mean you have to import all the photos from Aperture into Lightroom in one HUGE operation; you can certainly do the importing in manageable sized groups)

How do I edit RAW photos and save as jpeg?

HI! I have some RAW photos that I want to edit and save as jpeg. Will the edits compromise the file and how do I then save these edited files as jpegs and will that compromise the files? THANKS!

What do you mean by “Will my files be compromised“?
When you edit a photo with iPhoto you’re Original file is preserved exactly as it is, there are no changes made to it whatever.
will I be able to make a readable disc?
Why not? But what do you mean by “readable” Readable by who?
