Editing photos (from iphoto) in PSE 11

I've recently upgraded to PSE 11 from PSE 10. Previously, when I click edit in iphoto, the photo that I want to edit automatically opens up in PSE 10 and I can do my edit rightaway.
However, the photo does not open up automatically in PSE 11 now. My computer will launch PSE 11 but I have to manually load the photo for editing.
I've done the necessary settings in iphoto (i.e edit using external editor) but it's still not working like it used to.
Is this a change in feature in PSE 11 or I'm missing something here?
Appreciate all advice and tips on this.
Thank you.

In iphoto, for any edited photo (no matter where you edited), to see the original, select the edited photo and go to Photo>Revert to Original. iPhoto remembers your original, but versions in iphoto don't work the same way the do in PSE, at least not when you use an external editor. iPhoto assumes that if you want to use another program for editing, you want to use that other program for editing. If you want to use iphoto instead, you would need to revert it. If you want to have both available, the original and PSE edit, some versions of iphoto automatically send a duplicate for editing, but I don't think the latest version does, so make a duplicate in iphoto and send that to PSE.
An external editor is by definition external --the photo left iphoto to get edited. The external editor mechanism merely lets you  get your edited photos back into iphoto again automatically.

  • 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?

  • How do I transfer edited photos from iphoto to desktop?

    I have edited some photos in iphoto, but when I drag the photos to my desktop I loose the edits.  How can I copy/transfer a photo from iphoto to my desktop without losing the edits?  I have saved the changes, but it makes no difference.

  • Importing edited photos from iPhoto

    What settings do I need to change in order to import only my edited versions of photos from iPhoto into aperture 3?

    thanks for the reply,
    I certainly understand your point of course.
    Well, I thought since they were already in iPhotos original library, why have them saved twice. I do understand that they would be easily retrieved and used if in Aperture for sure.  However, I guess when Aperture imports them or iPhoto exports them to Aperture, they are sent with edited version along with the original. I then figured out how to use the stacks in Aperture. I was going to make a slideshow and noticed that when I pressed the slide show that it was adding both the edited and orignal version to the slide show, so all I had to do was to close all Stacks and it worked as I wanted.
    But I quess I would like to know if there are now two versions of the originals taking up space on my HDs, one in iPhotos library and one in Aperture. I have 16,000 photos and want to save space on my hard drives. So the next question would be what happens to the orignal library in iPhoto when you export your iPhoto library into Apertures library?
    Thanks,

  • Importing edited photos from iphotos to typepad

    Hi
    I'm a complete Mac newbie, currently with growing pains as I move from Linux & Windows to Mac...
    Using an ipod to take pics for my web site. Before getting my mac, I used to update them in photoshop, edit them for size & quality, and import the saved edited file from my PC to the typepad-hosted web site.
    Now, I plug my ipod into my new mac, import the photos into iphoto and crop, touch-up colors for the photos etc using iphoto. When trying to import the edited photo into typepad, I select my photo from a list of files under Media -> Photos. The thumbnail photo shows up as the edited version - ok, that's what i want. So I import it into typepad, but what gets imported is the original version of the photo, not the edited one that's been cropped, enhanced, renamed etc.
    I understand that iphoto is "non-destructive" but how do I get the edited files into my web site. I am looking to create a streamlined process as I'll be doing this a whole lot.
    Thank you for your help.

    My web browser is Chrome version 36.0.1985.125.
    From within Typepad, I try to upload a photo into my web page. Insert Images -> Choose file which pops up a dialog that lets me pick files from my computer.
    I've gone two ways here.
    1. When I go to Media -> Photos and select the edited photo I want, the photo shows up as a thumbnail, with the edits I made and the changed name. However, when I then select it and load it into the Typepad post, the original un-edited photo gets imported up with its original name. Not what i want.
    2. When I instead select Favorite -> Documents and select the edited photo which I previously exported out of iPhoto into this Doc folder, the edited photo gets imported with its changed name. So now I have a workaround or maybe it is by design: export the pics if you want them loaded in Typepad.
    Now iPhoto has tighter integration with Flickr, so I can simply Share the photo from iPhoto to my Flickr account and the edited version of the file gets uploaded to Flickr. No need to do an export. That's nice, but what I'm looking for is better integration with Typepad/Wordpress.
    By the way, the same applies to Google Drive. If I select Upload from within Google Drive and go to Media -> Photos, the edited photo shows up as a tumbnail with the new name I gave it during my edits. When I select it to upload, the original un-edited photo gets uploaded.
    Your earlier explanation made me better understand why this is. The iPhoto Previewer tricks us into thinking the edited file is there for us/apps to upload, but it's a virtual update. There's no file behind it to serve up to the app, be-it to Typepad or Google or whatever. iPhoto integrated with Flickr b/c I imagine the demand was there - it's a pain to have to export edits in order to use them. That's why I was asking if a "plug-in" exists that would essentially export the file I selected.  But I can't find them anywhere so I'll have to use a workaround for now.
    I'm having another issue with exporting a group of edited pics... not all the changes get exported. But I'll wrestle it on my own for now and post if I get stuck.

  • Transfer edited photos from iPhoto app on my iPad back to the iMac

    Dear all,
    I've edited some photos on my ipad using the iPhoto app and I would like to have them transferred back to my iMac.  Can anyone please show me the required steps?  Thanks.
    Note: I've tried plugging in my ipad to my iMac and opened iPhoto on my iMac but it seemd like I could only transfer non-edited photos from the iPad.
    Million Thanks,
    TMK

    Turn on PhotoStream on your iPad and in iPhoto on your Mac. They will sync to your Mac.
    iPad - Settings > iCloud > photoStream = on.

  • 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?

  • Missing edited photos from iPhoto after Force Quit

    I just lost about 50 photos.  I'm using a separate application to edit my photos before transferring them to my iPhoto Library.  A couple hours in to editing I received an error message and had to force quit both iPhoto and my other photo editing app.  I had been adding each photo I edited to iPhoto as I went along, then deleted the unedited version (emptying my trashcan also).  After reopening iPhoto, all the pictures I had edited were gone and the original versions were back in the library.
    Any clues as to how this happened and if it's possible to retrieve my edited photos?

    Why are you deleting the unedited versions?
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

  • How do i edit photos from iPhoto?

    whenever i try to open a new picture from the photo folder, i get sent directly to iPhoto. what do i to open and edit a picture that is saved to iPhoto? I have a macbook pro if this helps.

    what do i to open and edit a picture that is saved to iPhoto?
    Assuming you have Photoshop and Bridge (because you are in an Adobe forum, not Apple iPhoto) there has probably gone something wrong with your install. After you have installed Photoshop in a proper way the files should automatically open in PS. But in your case go to Finder, select the file type you want to open in PS for editing and use the 'get info' command.
    Somewhere halfway you should see the option for 'Open With'. Choose your installed version of photoshop and also include 'change all' to apply on all files of this type. Repeat this for other file types (jpeg, tiff, PSD etc) you want to open in PS.

  • Ipad 2 will not sync edited photos from iphoto

    I've changed some of my photos to black and white or sepia in iphoto.  When I sync them to my ipad 2, they remain in color.  Any ideas?  It's only happened to pictures edited within the past month or so.  Wondering if it coincides with a recent iphoto update.  Anyone seen this?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Uploading edited photos from iPhoto

    I have tried mulitple times to edit a photo, I believe it is saved automatically with the option of reverting back to original. Yet when I move it to the desktop, try uploading it onto Facebook or any other site, the phote automatically reverts back to the original.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I've taken all the normal steps to upload or put move it onto my desktop
    The problem is that around here you will be surprised at what people think are "normal" steps to do anything That's why it's best to detail what you're actually doing.

  • Problems when syncing edited photos from iPhoto to iPad

    First, I edited some photos in an event in iPhoto on my mac, then I sync that event to my iPad. After syncing, the photos in my iPad library are unedited. What is the matter? Why those photos are unedited? Thanks!

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

  • How do you export or attach an edited photo from iPhoto?

  • Move photo from iPhoto to PSE "open in camera RAW"

    is there a simple way?

    You need to tell iphoto to send raw files out of iphoto or it will make its own conversion and send a pre-converted file. Go to the iphoto preferences>advanced and turn on this checkbox:

  • How to import photos from iPhoto Library to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor?

    I can't use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor to edit photos from iPhoto Library. If I choose File, Open, and then select 'iPhoto Library', error message is "could not complete your request because of a program error."

    You can't do it that way. Any attempt to poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is very likely to damage the library and cause you to lose your photos, so PSE won't let you. You have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photos from iphoto, and save them without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the editor prefs>Saving Files>On First Save to let you do this). Then iphoto will remember your original and the last edited version.
    Be sure to choose this file in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 10>Support files as your external editor, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in Applications:
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the PSE editor to open the images and then save them with whatever changes to name or format you like, and reimport the saved images to iphoto as new files. This way you can save as many versions as you like.
