Editing and saving RAW in Photoshop CS3 and iPhoto

So I have a specific question. I right click an Image, select "edit in external editor" then edit RAW image using CS3, so far so good. But then I save it "in existing folder", so I have a .jpg of my edited image. NOW what I want to do is have that file imported into iphoto so I can view the thumbnail and organize, but I don't want to have to do that to 500 images in different folders. Is there any way to "refresh" iphoto and import files in those folder already in my itunes library? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ian

No, in a word.
You need to save the processed RAW to the desktop and then import it to iPhoto. It will be treated as a new image.
OF course you can move it around in the iPhoto Window if you wish to the preferred location.

  • Raw plugin photoshop CS3 not working

    Have a new laptop Samsung QX412, can't get raw to open in photoshop cs3. It works in my desktop. Laptop running windows 7 (64) Home. Photoshop shows "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". Have updated both photoshop CS3 and bridge. Photo's being saved in bridge from camera, Canon 50D. Have tried comments from windows forum. Still no go. As someone else has said, I'm a photographer not an IT expert and starting to get quite frustrated. I would appreciate help. Thankyou.

    To use Windows effectively, sometimes you just have to get into the technical aspects of using the computer...
    Search your system in the vicinity of the folders used for Photoshop plug-ins (e.g., under C:\Program Files\Common Files) for multiple copies of the file Camera Raw.8bi and note the dates/sizes.  Somehow, because of a mistake in trying to install it, I suspect you have multiple copies, and Photoshop is still using one other than the one you installed.
    Normally, Photoshop CS3 will look for Camera Raw.8bi in this location:
    (on a 32 bit operating system):  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
    (on a 64 bit operating system): C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
    The Camera Raw 4.6 plug-in file on my system has these characteristics (note specifically the size).

  • Problems with editing images from Lightroom to Photoshop CS3

    I just installed Lightroom onto my new MacBook Pro and just installed a new version of Photoshop CS3. When I hit the "Edit image in Photoshop CS3" button in Lightroom it won't open Photoshop and therefore won't let me edit the image in CS3. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Any info would be helpful.

    I'm running Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. "Edit image in Photoshop CS3" works fine for me. I'm on an iMac and had Lightroom installed first, only thing I noticed is it takes PS a little longer to open up.

  • Aperture 2 - Canon 5D Mark II raw files - Photoshop CS3

    Hello
    I work with Aperture 2 and just bought the new Canon 5D Mark II. Unfortunately the raw files of this camera cannot be opened with PS CS3. As I cannot find an update quickly here in Morocco I need to find another solution fast.
    With some help from the web I started to adjust the raw files in Aperture and exported them as TIFF. The problem I have now is that the picture of the exported TIFF file (or PSD) looks nice in the desktop finder preview but when I open it in PS CS3 the colors are very dull - very dull. What can I do? I really appreciate your help! Thank you very much.

    Check color settings in CS3 if color space is set to sRGB and your tiff or .psd is adobe 1998 or ProPhoto then they will look flat. If you want to change color space in Aperture under aperture in the menu bar choose presets- image export- then change the colorsync setting per preset.
    To change settings in CS3 under edit in the menu bar goto color settings.

  • Camera Raw to Photoshop CS3 fades the file

    I open Nikon files in Adobe Camera Raw, make changes and either open as a smart object, open as a file or save, then open in Photoshop.  No matter how I do it the image looks faded and flat.  In Camera Raw it looks great, in Photoshop I have to start in with Curves, etc to re-fix it.  Kind of double work.  The Nikon.plugin is not on my computer anywhere.
    For a while it was so frustrating that I just gave up making any changes in ACR and made them all in Photoshop. But I'm trying to get back to doing adjustments in ACR so hopefully someone knows what I'm doing wrong?

    At the very least you should read http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/WSD8679923-671F-4615-8E9F-CC7A57B00130.html and click the various links on the page.
    As for printing to sheetfe, just select an appropriate profile then save the setting as a custom setting. For example, in Europe, you may find Coated FOGRA27 suits your workflow better than Euroscale Coated V2. There are US Sheetfed profiles to choose from as well if based in the US.
    Keep Color Management Policies set to Preserve Embeded Profiles and Profile Mismatches ticked (all three boxes) till you understand what's happening when you open files.

  • Downloading Nikon NEF Raw into Photoshop CS3

    I recently changed from a Canon DSLR to a Nikon D5000.Like many other Nikon users I have hit a problem in trying to download Nikons NEF images into CS3 .On trying to open RAW images up comes the message "Unable to open document".I have checked on the bridge that the  ACR is 4-6-03 .Should I download ACR 5-6 or is it not compatible with CS3 ? If it is will it help solve problem.
    I haven't opened NIKONS  software suite as I prefer to work with Photoshops RAW toolbar beside the downloaded image.Any advice appreciated 

    Your camera's images need ACR 5.4 to open them.
    As you suspected this is not compatible with CS3 – it needs CS4.
    You can however use the latest version of the stand-alone DNG converter to create files readable in CS3 if you don't want to upgrade Photoshop.

  • Importing into iPhoto, edited RAW photos from Photoshop CS3

    I edit all my photos in Photoshop CS3. Sometimes I just batch edit many of them. But when I import these edited images, iPhoto only shows them in unedited form. How do I import these edited images into iPhoto, and yet maintain the edits.
    I am a professional photographer, and the only reason I need to import these images into iPhoto, is that I use the web galleries as the viewing tool for my clients.
    Thanks.

    coxpix:
    When iPhoto imports a RAW file it creates a jpg version of it for display and editing with by iPhoto. Therefore, when you edit a RAW with CS3 you must import the new edited version, of whatever format you chose to save as, and use that one. It's the nature of the beast. All edits to RAW files when saved must be saved as a new file.
    For what it's worth, the following may be of some help in using CS3 with iPhoto:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory .
    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.

  • Photoshop cs3 starts from photoshop elemets 7 without camera raw

    I'm using photoshop elements as a picture album organizer and start photoshop cs3 from elements. When changing from elements v5 to v7 (because of having a trouble with the raw of a canon 50d), I got a strange problem:
    - When I use the elements editor, the camera raw is starting
    - When I use Bride CS3 to open the raw, camera raw is starting
    - When I use elements 7 to open the raw in photoshop cs3, the picture appears direct in photoshop, without using camera raw
    Could someone help me to have camera raw starting photoshop out of elements 7?

    It's a known problem:

  • How do I move a picture from camera raw to photoshop?  When I click open image I get a checker board

    How do I move a picture from editing in camera raw to photoshop?  When I click "open image" I get a checker board in photochop

    Sindbad. A suggestion, to let us know all the specifics of your machine: go the the help menu, and select System Info...
    Copy the contents, and paste it in an answer there.
    You might want to remove your serial number.
    Thanks to that we will know: the exact version of Photoshop, your memory, where Photoshop is installed, the graphic card and its drivers, and also if you are using third party plug-ins.
    Some other users reported that when launching Photoshop holding down the shift key (this disables the plug-ins), he was able to see the images.
    The solution in that case is to search for updated plug-ins (or to report the plug-in manufacturers that their plug-ins causes issues in Photoshop.

  • JPEGs Created In Photoshop CS3 Import As Black Images

    Is anyone else having problems bringing images from Adobe Photoshop CS3 into iPhoto? I am creating grayscale and color (RGB) images in Photoshop and then dragging them into my iPhoto library for import. Some come in just fine. Others have black thumbnails and when you open them to view them, they are like negatives.
    Any ideas?
    wncmacs

    David
    iPhoto does not support greyscale and they will display "like negatives". Convert them to RGB and they will display fine.

  • Photoshop CS3 tries to open tif and jpgs as RAW?

    While the problem looks like a PS3 issue, I believe it is somehow related to LR, so I will ask here.
    When I try to open some of my saved TIF and JPG files back into Photoshop CS3, it often brings the files into the Adobe Camera Raw converter instead of just opening them. The JPGs look terrible, with a huge color and tone shift. I can open the same file using "Open As" JPG and it opens fine directly into Photoshop. Same for opening problem files using the TIF extension.
    I don't see a pattern to all this as maybe half of the images in a folder open directly into Photoshop using the basic OPEN command, but the other half end up trying to go through ACR. The files originated as NEF files taken with a Nikon D300.
    Normally, I use the Export command in Lightroom and run my images through a preset, saving as 8bit, Adobe RGB, TIF files into a specific folder. I seldom export as a Smart Object from LR to PS, so I don't think that's the problem here. When converting my TIF files to JPGs, I run them through an action which also converts them from Adobe RGB to sRGB.
    Once I've done my Photoshop edits, I usually save the TIF file, then make a few additional JPG web images while still in PS.
    As far as I know, I am treating all my Photoshop images with the same workflow. I am using Windows XP, LR 2.4 and Photoshop CS3 10.0.1
    Does anyone here have a suggestion to help me solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    M. Jackson

    Thanks for the input. When the files try to open in ACR, I see there are two options lit up. Auto - Default
    If I click Default, the colors and tones change to their correct values, so that more or less gets me opened up correctly.
    However, I don't see any place to set preferences in ACR. ?????
    These files are older ones that have been added to the LR catalog through the Sync Folder command.
    At least now I have the workaround, but wouldn't mind changing a setting in either LR, PS, or ACR to eliminate the problem altogether.
    Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

  • How to open Camera RAW (CR2) files in Photoshop CS3 and CS4? (Mac)

    I have a Canon 7D. I prefer to shoot in raw format, but the CR2 files cannot be opened by either Photoshop CS3 on my Mac in the office OR by Photoshop CS4 on my iMac at home.
    I have tried dowloading the Adobe DNG Coverter and Camera Raw 4.6 update (which is SUPPOSEDLY intended to work for CS3) and followed the instructions to replace the plug-in. STILL a no-go. CS3 STILL tells me "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
    What gives? Does anyone know of a way to get CR2 files to open in Photoshop CS3 or CS4? (A way that actually works?) Because Adobe's plug-in update doesn't seem to do it, and Canon's "fine-grain" editing controls for raw images is pretty lack-luster.
    Thanks (in advance)!

    Have you tried opening up out of Bridge? If that doesn't work you may new need to download a new driver from Canon. All my peripherals are Canon and I am always having to download new drivers everytime I update. Fortunatly they are really easy to find on Canon's site.

  • Is there a way to edit the same RAW file in Aperture 3 and then Photoshop CS5?

    I recently got Aperture 3.4.5 and its been great for stream-lining my workflow.  But for certain RAW adjustments, like applying a gradient, I want to use Photoshop CS5's RAW editing window.  I don't seem to be able to export the file as a modified CR2 from Aperture to Photoshop CS5.  Is there a way to do this?
    And if exporting a modified CR2 from aperture is not possible, what advice can you give me for applying gradients in aperture, or in combinations with photoshop.  Is there a way to open a JPEG or TIFF in the raw editing window by any chance?
    Any and all advice welcome.  Cheers!
    -Mike

    Is there a way to open a JPEG or TIFF in the raw editing window by any chance?
    If you open Bridge and go into the Camera Raw Preferences, you will see a section at the bottom where you can set preferences for TIFF handling. Setting the option to 'Automatically open all supported TIFFs' will result in any TIFF file sent from Aperture to Photoshop via 'Edit with Photoshop CS5' function being launched in ACR and allow you to work on the TIFF file.
    You then have to open the image in Photoshop with the 'Open' button in ACR and save the file (making sure you have the TIFF file extension set when saving). I haven't used this in a while, but I think it may try to save as a '.tif' file which would not be seen by Aperture when you complete the save (and have a '.tif' file sitting in the Masters folder that has no connection).
    This is still not the RAW file - obviously - but will allow you to use the ACR tools on the TIFF file generated by Aperture and return it with those edits if saved correctly in PS CS5.
