Editing iPhoto pic in Photoshop Elements 4

I have read the messages of mainman and Dr. Livingstone regarding this issue and the replies but I do not have any option of choosing Photoshop Elements 4 in Preferences/General/Edit Photo which shows only "In Man Window", "Full Screen" "in Separate Window" and "in Lightroom" I have clicked on Lightroom and was taken to Applications where I selected Photoshop Elements 4 which now appears as a selection for editing photos. However, when I double click on a photo in iPhoto, it doesn't open in Photoshop. What else should I do or not do?
Also, from the Photoshop open menu, where to do I find iPhoto.app and where do I find iPhoto In Finder under Applications? iPhoto and iLife doesn't show up listed there.
Oh yes, iLife '08 and iPhoto '08 are the ones I use.
Thanks for your help.

What happens after you've selected PSE in the iPhoto preferences and then double click on a thumbnail? Does PSE open at all? Is there any activity of any kind?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

  • Editing iPhoto photos in Photoshop Elements 4--5+ photos in the bin?

    Hi,
    PSE4 is my preferred photo editor in iPhoto. When I attempt to edit/open more than 4 iPhoto photos at a time (which, given my preferred photo editor setting, automatically opens the photos for editing in PSE4), only a maximum of 4 photos appear at a time in the PSE4 Photo Bin. Why is this? I have opened many dozens of photos simultaneously in PSE4 before, all stored without a problem in the photo bin... Please help!
    Thanks,
    Maine

    iPhoto will send no more than 4 pics at a time to an external editor. This is to avoid inexperienced users inadvertently opening their entire library in their editor. There is no way around this.

  • What do I need to do on my iMac (Configure) to edit iPhoto photographs in Photoshop Elements 13?

    I have recently installed PS Elements 13 on my iMac.
    How do I configure the Mac and PS Elements 13 so that when i Click on edit in iPhotos the picture will appear in PS Elements for editing?
    In PS Elements 12 all I had to do was go to iPhotos preferences and configure the advanced window to edit in PS Elements 12.

  • Can anyone tell me how to get my pics from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Elements?

    Can anyone tell me how to get my pics in iPhoto into Adobe Photoshop Elements?

    Are you talking about iPhoto for iOS or iPhoto on your Mac?
    If iPhoto for iOS export the photo to iTunes. Then sync with your Mac and drag the photos out of the file sharing section of iTunes on your Mac. Then open them in Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    If iPhoto on your Mac then export the photos. I believe that's Menu > File > Export.
    Select export at full resolution and choose a location for the files. Once they have been exported you can open them in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

  • Edit images in Adobe Photoshop Elements

    I am helping a student who is running iPhoto on Maverick.  He wants to edit his images in Photoshop Elements.  We set his preferences to do this but when he selects an image and clicks on Edit, all he gets is the welcome page of Photoshop Elements.  The image doesn't open in Elements.  What could we be doing wrong?
    Mary Lou

    Previous versions would install a folder with the file you want, Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor.app, buried one layer down in another folder named Support Files.  That's the one you want to select from iPhoto.
    I don't know if the layout of the installed files is the same with the newest version. However, the following may be of help:
    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..
    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:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  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.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

  • IPhoto 11 plus Photoshop Elements 10 or Just Photoshop Elements 10?

    I am a recent convert to iMac having started with iphone and then ipad.  I now what to organise a couple of years complete unorganised photos.  I would appreciate recommendations on whether I should use iphoto 11 and photoshop elements as my external editor or just use photoshop elements 10 as both my organiser and editor? I am using Lion as my OS.
    As inferred above I have no tags, albums or libraries my photos are completely unorganised so no converting - looking at clean imports to either programme but would be interested in pros and cons of both routes suggested.  For example would using iphoto plus elements rather than just elements give me better integration with iphone 4, ipad 2 and apple TV. 
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    You can use Photoshop Elememts 10 with iPhoto just as you can with Photoshop or any other image editor.  The organization features of Elements is essentially file/folder management and really not digital asset management like iPhoto.  If you decide to use PSE with iPhoto the following should be of some help:
    Using Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop Elements 9/10 as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    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
    Click to view full size
    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 edited and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9/10 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    s  I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatibility be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use  iPhoto's editing mode as the default and PS/PSE  as the otpional editor  once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Edit Photos:  in iPhoto".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
    Click to view full size
    This way you get the best of both worlds.

    HOW CAN I EDIT MY PHOTOS IN PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS  10 ?    JB

  • The editing "Guided" mode of Photoshop Elements 11 not works!

    Using the editing "Guided" mode of Photoshop Elements 11 the working progress line hangs at 75% and Guided mode not works  ! The "Quick" and "Expert" mode, instead, working well.
    Attention, please! I specify that I use Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5  and I don't have AntiVirus or Firewall actived... I have already tried to delete all Preferences, all Elements 11 cache folders, etc., tried to uninstall and re-install the Software... but without success. I hope that you can help me.

    About the editing Guided mode of Photoshop Elements not working.
    My FINAL solution to the problem. (But I hope also for an Adobe intelligent patch...)
    I finally understand why the the "Welcome screen..." and the IMPORTANT editing "Guided" did not work in Photoshop Elements 11 (or with Photoshop Elements 10); the "Guided" panel does not appear with the options but, on the right, the progress bar hangs at 75% of the options panel and the panel remains empty.
    After days of hard work and after many attempts on the Adobe Troubleshooting, I realized that the problem depends by Mac OS X anti-malware functions  (XProtect process). But I have not figured out why the issue did not showed running PSE into a new account; maybe, it is because Mac OS X still not intercepted always and blocked the old Flash Player plug-in, installed by PSE11. Examining System Preferences and Security Panel -> Advanced, you see the option that enables automatic control by Mac OS X for the Malware black-list.
    As may be seen in the attached screeshot, if you open with XCode or with a text editor the file "/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/ Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist" you can read that Mac OS X (from 10.6 Snow Leopard) inserted the old versions of Flash Player plug-in (minor of "11.3.300.271") into the black list plug-ins, to block they.
    I do not understand why Adobe has left this obsolete "Flash Player.bundled" plug-in in Photoshop Elements 11 or 10! PSE11, in fact, does not use the "Flash Player.bundle" plug-in but it uses "AdobeSWFL.bundle", contained into "System_Disk/Library/Application Support/Adobe/APE/3.101/adbeapecore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/". Does maybe Adobe ignores, perhaps, the existence of a BlackList in Mac OS X that blocks the Flash Player plug-in prior to version 11.3.300.271? ... Is that really useful to install this obsolete Plug-In (for Mac OS X 10.4 - 10.5) if PSE11 works from version 10.6 "Snow Leopard" onwards?
    The Flash Player plug-in installed by PSE11 is the old version "10.1.82.73" as you can read in it info.plist file (or in my screenshot attached here) and I think that if you use Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion you can delete it because, as we read in his file "Info.plist", the plug-in is only for Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 ...
    An hypothesis about the occasional occur of issue about "Guided" mode or "Welcome screen" not working is that PSE11, at start-up, makes a "program's call" to the old "Flash Player" plug-in installed by PSE11 and PSE10 and the system, peraphs, intercept this call through "xprotect" process that runs in the background; so, Mac OS X blocks the function of PSE11 based on Flash Player as, indeed, the "Welcome screen" and the editing function "Guided".
    Or the problem lies in a behavior of PSE at startup that it due to old ACL permissions existing into Home's folders (because belong the previous Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.6 version). PSE thinks of having to boot the old Flash Player plug-in containded in APE. This would explain why PSE runs well and "Guided "PSE mode works if start-up creating a new account!
    Note! Utility Disc does not correct, by default, the ACL permission in Home!!! Adobe, then, rather than suggesting to create new accounts ... must correct PSE by removing any reference to the old Flash Player plug-in. Otherwise, there is always the risk that Mac OS X prevents proper operation.
    I tried to rename it or remove this plug-in and PSE11 always work well, but for pedantry, I preferred this solution:
    - I installed the latest version of Flash Player from the Adobe site.
    - I opened the package to "/ Library / Internet \ Plug-Ins/Flash \ Player.plugin/Contents/PlugIns/FlashPlayer-10.6.plugin/Contents /"
    - I copied the four objects (Folder MacOS and Resources folder and files: info.plist and version.plist)
    and
    glued them in "Adobe/APE/3.101/adbeapecore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Flash Player.plugin / Contents /" overwriting existing ones.
    I have one more doubt left: I have not yet enabled the iCloud option for the Photo Streaming and the iTunes Match sync; this functionalities was enabled in my old account when PSE did not working.. I hope that PSE11 will work well even when I will enable these features to sync with my Apple accounts...

  • IPhoto witn Adobe Photoshop Elements 4

    Hi
    I wish to use Adobe Photoshop elements 4, in conjunction with iPhoto.
    So I would like to purchase a video tutorial to assist me in using Adobe Photoshop with Mac. However whilst I can find a Windows version of video tutorials, I have been unable to find a Mac version.
    Can anyone give me a Web address where I could find this software?
    One problem I am trying to overcome is that when Adobe photoshop is loaded, it takes up the full screen, I would like to be able to also have iPhoto on screen as well, so that I could simply drag photos straight to Photoshop for editing. Is this possible?
    Thanks for any advice.

    chatch
    Can't help you with the first part of your query.
    However:
    so that I could simply drag photos straight to Photoshop for editing. Is this possible?
    If you drag photos from iPhoto then they are exported, and the changes you make will be to the exported file, not to the one in iPhoto.
    The correct way to use PSE with iPhoto is to configure it as an external editor. If you do this then
    double click a pic in the iPhoto Window and it will open automatically in PSE
    save a pic in PSE and it's saved back to iPhoto automatically
    To set a PSE as an external editor, go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General Pane. At EDIT IN from the drop down menu, choose Other app, then navigate to PSE.

  • Using iPhoto 08 with Photoshop Elements v6

    I love iPhoto for organizing photos, but want to use Photoshop for editing. Does anyone know the best way to leverage both? i.e. Storing pictures in iPhoto (via external drive) and editing in Photoshop...

    Easy
    1 - post in the correct forum - posting iPhoto '08 questions in the iPhoto '09 forum may give you incorrect answers - this one is the same for both versions
    2 - go to your iPhoto preferences and set the "edit in" preference to "external editor" and select PhotoShop Elements - now when you select edit it will open PSE and pass the photo to it - when you are done you simply save to return the photo to iPhoto and update the iPhoto database correctly
    3 - If you want the option to choose PSE or iPhoto set the "edit in" back up in mail window - now selecting edit will edit in iPhoto and right clicking (control click) on a photo will give you a menu so you can choose PSE or iPhoto

  • Using iPhoto 08 with Photoshop elements

    I am a recent Mac convert and I'm loving it.
    However, I need some help understanding how best to use Photoshop Elements in conjunction with iPhoto 08. I was thinking I could use iPhoto to keep track of photos and do basic edits and link to other iLife apps etc, and use Photoshop to do more indepth editing.
    I would like to know the most efficient way to open photos from inside iPhoto, into Photoshop. And how to get them back into iPhoto.
    I realise I can drag a photo and create a copy on to the desk top and then open it with Photoshop, do some editing, save it to a/any folder, then import it back into iPhoto but…
    1) is there a better way to do this?
    2) I'm concerned with filling up my hard drive with multiple copies!
    I'd be greatful for any help, Thanks

    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).

  • IPhoto with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and Adobe Bridge

    I have not used iPhoto before now as I have been downloading photos from my Canon and Nikon cameras using their software. I have now moved everything into iPhoto but cannot find iPhoto using Adobe Bridge so I am unable to do any editing using Elements 4. Previously I could find the Canon and Nikon photos using Adobe Bridge. With a simple click on the relevant photo it opened up in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 and I was able to edit it. Now using Bridge I simply cannot find iPhoto thus I cannot use PSE4. Can someone help before I go crazy ? I havde called Apple support but they have been unable to help me and suggested using Discussions@Apple

    Many thanks for your quick response although, as a new iMac user, the mere mention of the word "corrupt" scares me ! I previously used a PC with Windows XP and PSE3 and loved being able to sort all my photos into albums with PSE3. Unfortunately the PSE4 which I have installed on my iMac doesn't let users sort their photos into albums and the only alternative is Adobe Bridge. I only recently started to use iPhoto after a visit to an Apple Store and it's great being able to catalog my photos so easily. Unfortunately PSE is far and away superior to any editing software that iPhoto has to offer. Anyway, I'll cross my fingers and try your suggestion first thing tomorrow morning.
