Editing jpgs in iPhoto

In iPhoto, I know if I make an adjustment to a jpg, then a new version of the picture with the edits is created. Of course, creating a new version degrades the jpg just a wee bit, but I don't think it's noticeable, so that's OK with me.
My question is: if I go and make ANOTHER set of adjustments sometime later, is the new version that iPhoto makes based on the master with ALL the adjustments, or is it creating ANOTHER version off the last new version, thereby degrading the photo twice?

It's the former - iPhoto goes back to the Original and re-applies the sum of the edits to create a first generation new version. You never go past a first generation copy.

Can't edit RAW in iPhoto - grayed out

My system recently crashed and after installing a new hard drive and reinstalling programs I find that I can no longer edit RAW pictures within iPhoto. I see both the RAW and the jpg thumbnails (I shot in both formats side by side) in iPhoto. When I click on the jpg it allows me to edit. When I click on the RAW it will not allow me to edit. I can click the Edit button but once on the crop, enhance, rotate adjust page all options are grayed out. Prior to the crash I could edit RAW in iPhoto - I want to get back to that. I can edit RAW in an external editor but want to do it in iPhoto. Using a Nikon D90. A secondary issue if you care to comment.... all thumbnails are in place when I reinstalled the program however the jpgs are only place holders. When I click on the thumbnail I get the dread exclamation mark. I have to go hunting for the file in the "Show Package Contents" command. The RAW thumbnails will allow me to explore in an external editor (see above) but I cannot edit in iPhoto. Thanks, Craig

My guess is that the two problems are related.
When I click on the thumbnail I get the dread exclamation mark.
Your Library is corrupted. That's what you need to sort out.
Option 1
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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why no response when hitting edit button in iPhoto

I'm using Mac os 10.10.1 and elements 13.
When I hit the edit button in iPhoto, nothing happens. I have iPhoto preferences set to use elements for edits. Also when I am at open at top left bar in elements , and try to import a picture from iPhoto library, I get Message that says it doesn't recognize file type, but photos are either jpg or psd.
-*-*- Following instructions from another posting, I changed preferences back to "edit in iPhoto",
and... I can go to the thumbnail image and select Edit in external editor and still nothing happens.

you have to check some points:
1) what r the views maintained in material master and material type.
2) Accounting view is maintained or not.
3) In PO, check the delivery tab page. Check the GR is valuated or non valuated.
4)Check the accounting document is generated at the time of GRN.

Prevent RAWs from creating JPGs in iPhoto

Is there a way to prevent iPhoto from creating a JPG file when imported? I have the "don't make a copy" prefrence selected but it still creates a JPG. This is creating a memory issue for me because the RAWs are around 25-30MB and when imported into iphoto it makes another 5-10MB JPG.

No - iPhoto creates a JPEG for use in viewing and editing and for other programs to access - and note that turning off the copy imported items to the iPhoto library is strongly not recommended - it makes importing and deleting photos more difficult and makes relocating the originals (adding an external drive - replacing failed hardware - upgrading hardware - etc) much more difficut
You may want to consider solutions other than iPhoto since it does not operate the way you want to

How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements? I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements? I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
3 - go to the Events menu and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
which will give you an event for each day.
4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the following settings:
The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

How 2 get edited photo from iphoto app back into iPhoto?

I have the new iPhoto app.
I can't seem to get my edit photos back into iPhoto on my imac.
I thought save to iTunes would do it but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Sure would like to just go back to my mac and find the photo updated.
I have the photo stream turned off and just sync with a cable.
Problem 2
The photos and albums seem to be in random order. This makes it almost impossible to find the photo I want to edit.
Can anybody please help?

<If you are using the cable: Connect your iPad > open iPhoto > select your iPad on the left under devices > Import <button top right of iPhoto (blue button).
<
<Do not import through iTunes.
Sorry - that was no help.
If I edit a photo in e iPhoto app then connect and bring up iPhoto on my mac the iPad device has no photos to import.
I have imported hundreds of photos from iPhones and iPads - I know how to import.
Even if there was a photo laying there to import - that is not what I want because...
Imagine if I had 100 photos then edited all 100 photos on my iPad.
Then if I imported them I would now have 200 photos in iPhoto on my mac.
I want the edited photo to update the original just as tho I edited it in iPhoto on my mac.
So I could "Revert to Original" if I needed to but probably never would.
So the question is when you share to iTunes where does it go?
Also the new album it creates "Edited" - What's the story on that?

Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11. Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11. Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open images directly from iPhoto. Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos in iPhoto 11. Nothing

Wanting to use Photoshop CS6 to open images directly from iPhoto 11.
Using OSX10.8.2 and iPhoto 11. Just installed Photoshop CS6 and want to open
images directly from iPhoto. Before I installed PS I was not able to edit photos
in iPhoto 11. Nothing happens when I click on ‘edit‘ it is blank.
And now it will not work using Photoshop CS6 either.
From Help Center I have gone to iPhoto/Preferences/ Advanced and chosen Photoshop CS6 to Edit Photos but then cannot find an 'Open' to click? Perhaps this is the problem?
When I select a photo in iPhoto and click the Edit button - nothing happens.
Please advise. Glenys

This may be of help to you:
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..
NOTE: 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:
Note: 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.

Editing Freezes in iPhoto 6.0.3 Resolved

I was having serious issues Editing images using iPhoto 6.0.3 (the program would stop responding when clicking on various operations and required restarting), but found some areas where the program worked and areas where it didn't:
By going in to Preferences I set it to edit when I double-clicked an image with different actions via:
In Main Window: Stops Responding
In Separate Window: Stops Responding
Using Full Screen: Works
In (other app): Works
The same applied when right-clicking and image and selecting Editing methods from the menu. It also stopped responding when I clicked on the "Slideshow" menu and had to be restarted.
I tried all of the solutions offered in the several threads on this subject, including reinstalling 6.0.3 and OS X updates over the existing, but nothing worked.
What finally DID work was deleting the iPhoto app itself and reinstalling it from disk and then I did NOT upgrade it to 6.0.3. I looked at the 6.0.3 update details, improvements in photocasting and sharing etc. and decided they were not issues I had been previously having and so I don't feel that I need that particular update. I'll see what future updates offer and update if it seems to fix or improve anything substantial at that time, leapfrogging what I consider to be a BUGGY 6.0.3 update for a number of users and see where I am then.
For now, after updating and then re-importing my last import of images that I had concerns about, everything is working fine. I can see no features in 6.0.3 that are not in 6.0.

Neil:
iPhoto has the library name in the title bar for me. Started with V6 and still does so with 6.0.3. A couple of times witb 6.0.2 it seemed to not do that but then started up again. Didn't do anything to try to correct it but maybe some of my permissions repairs for other issues helped. You might give it a try.

How to save photoshop CS5 extended edited photos in iphoto on Mac?

Hi this is my first post on here, so i'm unsure if i have put my question in the right place? etc....?
I have only just purchased CS5 extended and have just been on a intro course, and today decided to edit a few of my photos in photoshop.
i opened my photo from iphoto and edited it fine, that part was fairly easy to do, once i had finished i then went to file to save my photo, which i thought was straight forward as per click on 'save' once i had done that i closed the photo down, then moved onto another photo to edit.
after which i was looking through the iphoto folder, and i noticed that the photos i had edited using photoshop were still showing the parts of the picture that i had edited out i.e. overhead cables were showing in the picture! when i clicked on the photo to make it larger the edited version appeared.. i.e. no cables were showing!!
now am i going mad here, how has this happened? the next time i did a 'save as' and selected to save as and replace the original, but yet again the small picture in the folder is still displaying the original, now how am i going to know which photos have been edited and which haven't unless i click on them to make them large and show up the edited version!!!!! do i need to save the edited photo in a differnt way?
sorry for the long post but i wanted to give you all the info i thought might be of help.
Many thanks if you have read this far and i await your comments....Marie

Forget about iPhoto. Honestly.
iPhoto doesn't play nice with Photoshop—or any other program, as a matter of fact.
iPhoto uses a "libraries" paradigm and buries your images deep in "packages" only iPhoto can access. (Sure, there are workarounds, but what a hassle!).
I routinely delete the iPhoto application from all my OS X installs.
I suppose what you can do—if you insist on using that program—is to open the Photoshop-edited image with iPhoto and do a Save As from iPhoto itself.

Where's the toolbox and other editing features in iPhoto?

Hello!
When I select a photo to edit on my iPad Air in iPhoto, it only has "rotate", "enhance", "filter" and "crop" at the bottom of the screen. I do not see the toolbox or other editing features such as the "brushes" or the "rotate compass". How can I see the other editing features on iPhoto? Thanks for the help!

Lightroom shows "no photo selected" after editing jpg in Photoshop

I am running Lightroom 5.3 and Photoshop 14.2.1x64 on Windows 7, 64-bit, 16gb RAM, plenty of free disk space (90gb on drive C). I am in Lightroom and have selected a subset of the library (using a key word clicking on the keyword's "right arrow" next to its count in the key word list). I then view a photo in the loupe view and right click, selecting "Edit in Photoshop CC" and checking "Edit a Copy". This takes me to Photoshop, where I edit the photo and save both as a .psd file and re-save the jpg copy, overwriting the copy that Lightroom made. When I go back to Lightroom (by reactivating the window), the copy flashes momentarily and then disappears from the window, replaced by the message "no photo selected" in the loupe view. When I go back to grid mode, I am back to the first photo in the selected group of photos and I then have to scroll through and find the photo I just edited (the jpg copy is still in Lightroom).
This problem did not occur when I first installed and used Lightroom. Rather, Lightroom would continue to display the edited jpg photo in loupe view when I returned to Lightroom from Photoshop. Now, however, it never does. Is there some Lightroom setting I accidentally changed? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

I'm using ProPhoto RGB in Photoshop. I have a test file that shows this issue: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84023411/shadows_test.psd
This is a 16-bit ProPhoto RGB image with just 2 colors. The top part of the image is filled with RGB 10,10,10 and the bottom half is 0,0,0. If I open this file in Photoshop and use Apple's DigitalColor Meter utility to read the displayed values of the color of the top, using "Display native values", the result is 18,18,18. I expect it to be different than 10,10,10 due to the display profile but I would expect the same image viewed in Lightroom's Develop module to also read as 18,18,18 in the top half. But when I do this (import the PSD into Lightroom and open in Develop) the Meter reads 12,12,12. If I view the PSD in Loupe mode in Lightroom the Meter reads as expected, 18,18,18.
The difference should also be noticeable to your eye (at least mine) without using any measurements.
The result is that the dark shadows appear crushed when editing in Lightroom Develop mode.
The problem happens on both my 2008 Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 GPU and on my 2013 MacBook Air, although the values read on the Air are different than the Pro due to display profiles.
Normally, of course, I'm editing a RAW file in Lightroom and open that up in Photoshop (cmd+e), but this test seems to show that it happens with non-RAW files.

I can't get elements 10 to edit photos from Iphoto?

I have not been able to edit photos from iphoto in elements 10. When I press the edit key in iphoto the edit program opens in elements10 but no photo to edit appears.
The Preference selection to Advanced for Editing has elements 10 editor selected. Why is it not accepting the image to edit?

Are you sure? You are using the PSE file inside the support folder and not the file at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in applications as your external editor? I've never known of any other reason for your photo not to appear in the PSE editor. Does the editor open?
Usually this happens when you've set the welcome screen to automatically open the editor so that you don't see the welcome screen anymore. Did you ever change that setting in the PSE welcome screen?

If i edit photos in iphoto, will that carry the editing to the same photos that are in an idvd slideshow?

If i edit photos in iphoto, will that carry the editing over into the same pictures in idvd? Things like red eye, cropping, lighting, etc? I know it doesn't work if I have rotated a picture in iphoto- it doesn't show as rotated in idvd.

I assumed - it so easy to do and to often to fast.
If i edit photos in iphoto, will that carry the editing over into the same pictures in idvd?
To carry over to pictures in iDVD - made me assume that there was a project in iDVD that had pictures to whom
an adjustment could be carried over to. And if so - that might be in vain - due to the iDVD BUG that MIGHT also
hit Menus and or SlideShow projects.
BUT - I assumed - and may be wrongfully so - I'm SO sorry.

Editing photos on iPhoto

Sometimes I want to edit photos through iPhoto, but I dont want it to change on facebook if I had previously uploaded. How can I do that?

the best way is to use two photos - duplicate it (command - D) and edit the duplicate

BTW - it is best to set web syncing to manual in the iPhoto preferences to make iPhoto launch faster
