Edit photos in iMovie in ext. editor...?

I have an older project of mine, and I needed to edit one of the photos in the project, but it looks like I trashed the original. The photo is still playing in the iMovie project, however. Is there a way to edit the photo in, say, photoshop from the project somehow, or is the file gone forever?

Hi Stuart - welcome to the forum!
It's probably best to do what you want in a photo-editing app. like Photoshop (where it can be easily done) before importing to iMovie. This will keep the picture quality high.

Trying to open file in photoshop elements, only first option available in Edit Photo window. The other two has "Edit a Copy is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files" same for Edit Original.

Brand new user to Lightroom 5. Was following tutorials and doing fine editing. After done editing NEF files, I'm trying to open them in PSE 11 to further edit. Using the "Edit Photo with Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor". But the window only has the first option available and the other two grayed out. Each of those has "...is not applicable to raw or Digital Negative files." What??

sorry, no can do...ain't gonna happen.
What you've done is hit the wall on is the basic difference between lite duty spot healing and photo level tone and color correction (Lightroom and Camera Raw) and heavy duty pixel retouching in Photoshop.
When you need to substantially manipulate the "pixels" you need Photoshop and you'll be forced to render the raw file into a TIFF or PSD file either through Camera Raw or more better, via Lightroom.
You can do the basic tone and color correction directly in Lightroom and edit in Photoshop from Lightroom. But you will NEED to create and save out a "rendered" image that is no longer raw...then retouch to your heart's desire, save it and it'll be available in Lightroom along side your original raw if you choose.
But no, there's no way to open a raw in Photoshop, manipulate the heck out of it with massive retouching then save that back out as a raw file...ain't gonna happen.

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

Photoshop and elements 13
Working in iPhoto
Want to edit image using photoshop elements
Did the following
IPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements
Also control click and chose edit in external editor
Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
Go to to the image I'm working on --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
I spoke with application technical support. There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto. However there is no support from Adobe. I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

New Photo in OS X option to edit photo with external editor such as Photoshop has been removed. will this be back!

Hi
I have just updated my iPhoto to Photos in OS X and i have noticed that the option to edit photo with external editor such as Photoshop has been removed. will this be back!
Its now a pain to send a photo directly to my favourite photo editing software.
Ross

Thanks Terence
Totally understand being a new app and not an update.
So i'm a ammeter photographer and i like the way i can view my photos in iPhoto and i'm happy with the new App for this also, however i like to edit my photos in PS from time to time and i shoot in raw. As i can no longer select edit in external editor from the photo app i tired to drag a RAW photo to PS but this didn't work. i then tried dragging to desktop but this then made a jpeg so i loose my raw advantage. I would like to be able to find my original raw photos easily so i can edit them in PS.
Hope that makes sense?

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.

Edit duration of photos in imovie 10.0.6

I need to edit the duration of a bunch of photos in iMovie 10.0.6. The are JPG's with a resolution of 3088 x 2056 if you are wondering. I can't find anywhere to change the time it displays... it's looked at 10 seconds. All of the thinks people have suggested on the forum are grayed out for me and I can't click/use them (Adjust, Movie Properties, Right-Click, etc). Please Help!!!

Hello ThatSmoggyGuy,
Have you tired click and dragging at the end of a photo to drag out the duration of the photo? If you have not, give that a shot and to see if that works. Take a look at the article below for more details if you have not done so already. If you have let me know and I can offer another suggestion.

Edit photo in iPhoto before using in iMovie, or not?

Is it better to enhance a photo in iPhoto (edit mode) before using the photo in iMovie; or would the quality from using "auto" in video adjust in iMovie (on an unedited photo) work just as well?

I did the test with 16 photos (2 different cameras: iPhone and Lumix LX5). I auto-enhanced each photo using iMovie and iPhoto. I exported the movie as an M4V file and played it on my macbook pro using quicktime.
Results: a very mixed bag. In general, the iMovie auto-enhance yields more vivid and contrasty photos with less detail. The iPhoto ones (same photo) sometimes appear a bit washed out, but generally have more detail. The problem is some look better when done in iMovie and some look better when done in iPhoto. For most, it does not make a lot of difference, so I guess I will go with iPhoto and add other effects in iMovie.
iPhoto will allow me to straighten a photo, and iMovie won't. I do not crop photos using iPhoto because the iMovie cropping (with Ken Burns effect as an option) gives me a lot more flexibility.
For what it's worth.

Am I correct that Photos does not support external editors? i.e., in Aperture, I click Photos Edit with.... and can open in Photoshop or various plug-ins. Changes are then automatically saved back to Aperture. Nonexistent in Photos?

Thanks Larry. That certainly gives me some understanding. Can't imagine I'm the only Aperture user with that concern, so I certainly hope Adobe and others will fill the void. Without that feature, Photos is pretty much a non-started for me.

Xperia s ics photo editor - edited photo resolution

Hi Anyone notice that the resolution of the edited photo is only 960 x 1280? Is there anyway to configure ICS Photo Editor (album -> select photo -> menu -> edit) to save photos in higher resolution? Thank you. -O

Wow, no wonder I have been dissatisfied when I edit, since I am usually trying to crop as a method of zooming in after the fact. I have done this with good results in my 5 MP HTC and Samsung cameras. Such a glitch is ridiculous in software for a supposed 20 MP camera. I am less impressed with this camera each day.

How do you drag to edit duration of photos in iMovie '11?

I'm putting together a slideshow, with still photos, on iMovie '11, but it won't let me drag the edges of the photos to edit the duration of each one. I used to be able to do this, but for some reason, can't anymore. How do I get this feature to work?

Double-click the photo to open the Inspector and change the duration by entering a new time.
Note that dragging the edge of a photo will work only when shortening the duration, that is, dragging inwards. Click on the photo before dragging so that the yellow border appears, then drag either of the handles. Right-click within the adjusted yellow frame and select "Trim to Selection" from the pop-up menu.

How do you edit photos with photoshop from the new Photos app? The edit in external editor menu item seems to be gone.

Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

"Import to Library" command is greyed out. This was not the case until the latest PE13 update (Camera Raw Version 8.7.1.311). What needs to be done
to reimport edited photos back into my iPhoto library? Ideas?

Launch PSE Expert Mode and go to:
Photoshop Elements Editor >> Preferences >> Saving Files (tab)
Set the drop-down dialog
On First Save : Save Over Current File
Click OK.
When you have finished editing in PSE use Cmd+S to save (not Save As)

You can't disable the Organizer but if you don't check the box, you don't have to do it next time, this choice is 'sticky'. If it's not for you, I suggest that you delete the editor preferences (menu Edit/preferences, general in recent PSE versions), you have a button to click on.

I applied some edits to my photo using iOS 7's default photo editor. It looks great when I preview the image on iPhone, but I cannot export the edited photos onto my PC. Anyone know how can I do this?

yeah, in itunes if you select your phone, you should get tabs across the top for what to sync, under photos uncheck the box
EDIT: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 is the link to a apple support document with information on syncing photos using itunes.
