Editing question in elements 11

How do I keep a single color in an otherwise B&W photo using PSE 11 ?

Open the picture with color
Get the smart brush tool (the one with the gears) out of the toolbox. In the drop-down, go to Reverse Effects, and in the dialog the first one should be "Turn image black & white in reverse".
With cursor, drag over the object that is to remain in color

Edit in Photoshop Elements 10 question:

Ok, I'm using LR3 and Elements 10. I need to make sure I'm doing this right. Im in LR, and I want to send a DNG file over to Elements. I click Edit with Photoshop Elements, it sends the file over to Elements. I do my edits in Elements, then click Save. It does come back into LR, but its still the PSD and I want it to be in DNG? Whats the best way to do this?
Is the only way it comes back is either a jpeg or psd? Or should I send files over in TIFF instead of PSD? And which color space should I be in?
Thanks folks.

Mike,
DNGs actually make the most sense for Raw type images. For rendered images, they're just another container around your rendered image (TIFF, JPG, ...).
In order to pass an image from LR to PSE, LR will always create a rendered derivate file of the Raw/DNG photo (either TIFF or PSD), and pass the rendered image file it to PSE. Upon return from PSE, the rendered image is updated in LR, but stays in the same file format.
Of course you can convert the TIFF/PSD to DNG after return using LR's conversion (Library -> Convert Photo to DNG), but I cannot really see a benefit in doing that.
There is no option of passing a JPEG to PSE using "Edit in" and receiving the updated version automatically in LR. If you want to work with JPEGs (which I don't recommend because of compression issues), you'd have to save the image as JPEG in PSE and re-import it into LR manually.
TIFF vs. PSD
These days (with TIFF supporting layers), there is no advantage of using PSD over TIFF anymore, and TIFF is a more common format than PSD. So I believe most people are using TIFFs to be passed to external applications.
Color Space
You want to pass as big a color space to external editors as possible. This would be ProPhotoRGB for LR.
BUT, as quite a few functions are not available in PSE when using a 16-Bit image (i.e. cloning), I only pass 8-Bit TIFFs to PSE. Using ProPhotoRGB in a 8-Bit image - as far as I understand it - can have some disadvantages for image quality. For this reason I'm passing 8-Bit TIFFs in AdobeRGB (which is smaller than ProPhotoRGB, but bigger than sRGB) to PSE.

Newbie Elements Editing Question

I have a 29 minute video that plays in full in Organizer, however when I try to edit it in Elements only the first 14 seconds are available. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Kim,
Having the VOB's, seems to indicate that the disc might be a DVD-Video (standard DVD to play on the computer with DVD software player program, or on a stand-alone DVD player, hooked to a TV). Are those VOB files inside of a VIDEO_TS folder, along with some IFO and BUP files?
On a DVD-Video, there should be a VIDEO_TS folder (and possibly an AUDIO_TS folder). If that is the case, then the first VOB should have any navigation, any Menus, and then the first part of the MPEG-2 file, which can, and usually will span the other VOB's.
However, all VOB's are not created equal, as that article, that John T. linked to, will point out. Most DVR (DVD Recorders) will create a first VOB, that will give PrE issues. That is due to their rudimentary navigation, that is seldom 100% DVD-compliant. If that is the case, then using other software to rip the MPEG-2 from the VOB container, will probably be the best course of action.
Now, it could well be that someone did a DVD-Data disc, and just copied over the VOB files from a DVD-Video.
Also, for Importing VOB files, I would Copy those over to an internal HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and Import from there. This will do two things:
Speed the Importing process up greatly
Relieve you from having to have that DVD in the multi-drive, every time that you Open your Project
Good luck,

Can I select multiple photos from iPhoto to edit in Photoshop Elements?

From iPhoto I am wanting to select all the photos from an event or album to edit in Photoshop Elements to avoid having to switch back and forth between the two. I have PSE set up as the external editor in iPhoto. When I have the photos selected in iPhoto and click the edit button, the most photos that will show in the PSE project bin is 4. I can go back to iPhoto and select more and they will be added to the existing photos in the project bin, but again I am trying to avoid having to go back and forth, and want to be able to edit one event/album in one sitting. I've tried highlighting each individual photo within an event, and also just the event, but still the max is 4 photos. It seems when I did this a couple months ago it worked fine, but since it is not doing it now I am questioning whether I imagined the whole thing! Is there a way to have more than 4 photos at a time? Thanks in advance for all help provided.

Hi, cyndy. Welcome to the discussions. No, 4 is the largest number you can send to PSE at one time. (This is an iphoto limitation, incidentally, not a PSE limitation.)

"Edit in Photoshop Elements" an Option in Development Module?

In viewing the tutorials for Lightroom (while considering whether to purchase it), I noted that there was integration with PS CS2 (and soon, CS3) and that it works like this: In the "Develop" module select "Photo," then "Edit in Photoshop CS2;" the key here is that once editing in CS2 is complete the saved edits are automatically incorporated back into the Lightroom Library. Because I don't have, and may never need, CS2 (or CS3) along with Lightroom (if I get it) I'd hope that the exact same integration is possible with Photoshop Elements 5. So my question is simple: If PSE 5 is installed along with Lightroom will "Develop" and "Photo" include an option for "Edit in Photoshop Elements 5" and have the same automatic integration with the Lightroom Library? (Or, if PSE 5 is not a listed option but is accessible through the "edit with other" option, will the saved file still be integrated automatically into the Lightroom Library?)
Thanks. (And I did search the forum for this answer; sorry if it was there and I missed it.)

I had a demo copy of elements on my system when I installed the beta version of LR. Along side that I had my old and trusty PS 7.LR found PS7
and I set up Elements as a second option for editing. I bought LR and installed it over the beta version.From then on I was given the option to import from Elements in the file menu.PS7 was greyed outwhen I checked to see if I could still edit under PS7.
The demo of Elements expired so I uninstalled it.LR still offers me the option to import from Elements. I have tried the registry hack and all looks well but it is still grayed out in LR and it still "sees" a program which is no longer on my system. I have had a good look around the system including the registry for remnants of Elements that might still be around but cant see any.
Anyway it seems to me that LR can find Elements if it wants to even if it isnt't there and as I have said elsewhere on this forum, why do we have to hack the registry to get some parts this program to work? Adobe need to sort this and all the other bugs out. They owe it to all of us who have paid good money to them for what seems to be a poorly finished product.

Lightroom 4 - My Nik filters are not in the Edit version of Elements when I want to edit with cmd+E.

Lightroom 4 - My Nik filters are not in the Edit version of Elements when I want to edit a picture from the Lightroom Bibliotheque with cmd+E, because Ligthtroom use a back up copy of Ellements 11 that is on an extern back up drive (i don't understand how that is possible). My Nik filters are not on that drive but well on my Mac's Hard Disc.
How can I tell to Lightroom to use the Mac's Hard Disc version that is in the Dock ?

Of course my Nik filters are why the Dock version of my Mac.
The question is that I don't know why, Lightroom when I want to edit a picture in Elements (cmd+e), Lightroom start un security copy of Elements that I have put on my extern hard disk and that copy is without the Nik filters.
So how can I tell to Lightroom NOT to use the version of Element that is on extern hard disk but the original version on the hard disk of my Mac in the map Applications ?

Saving photos edited in PS Elements back into iPhoto

I'm new to PS Elements and love it but am having trouble saving photos. I have set my preferences in iPhoto to open in PS elements for editing. So far that's great. My question is when I'm finished editing in PS Elements how do I save the edited photo back into iPhoto?? I'm sure there's an easy solution but beyond saving into PhotoLibrary in Finder then trying to find in within the many many folders and dragging into iPhoto - I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

Jodeth,
That's great. Yup, it's those little things!
You can always do a "save as" and save to the desktop. This will not change the image within iPhoto which is sometimes a way to go if you don't want the image changed within iPhoto but want to use the edited image for something else.

How much computer is enough computer to do editing with Adobe Elements 11 for the PC?

I've migrated away from SONY Vegas MovieStudio for the reason that it could not render out smooth-playing files for upload to the internet (I suspect SONY codecs are not so good). I find that my 4-year-old H/P Pavilion w/ AMD Athlon II 4-core CPU is not up to the task of editing with Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
SOLUTION: I've recently replaced the old machine with an off-the-shelf Hewlett/Packard Pavilion desktop computer, model p7-1515. This is a current model as of April 2013.
SPECS: Windows 8 OS, Intel Core i5-3470 processor (3.20 Ghz), Intel HD graphics 2500, 8 GB DDR3 memory, 1 TB SATA hard drive.
UPGRADES I WAS ABLE TO PERFORM MYSELF: The hard drive cage allows for the addition of just 1 additional hard drive and I have added a second 1 TB SATA drive. Memory has been increased with the addition of a second 8Gb RAM module. I downloaded and installed Apple QuickTime 7.7.3.
I've been working with this new computer for several days and have had no problems to report. None. I realize that 'acceptable performance' is often in the eyes of the user. My experience with the H/P Pavilion p7-1515 is that it is quite up to editing within Premiere Elements 11.
As this posting is not a 'question' per se, the board moderator might wish to relocated it. Just thought my experience might be worth sharing with users looking for a 'budget-friendly' desktop machine. Disclaimer: I am not associated with H/P and have no monetary interest in the sale of their products.

Windows 8 has presented no problems at all, Steve! I'm shooting 1920x1080p AVCHD with a Panasonic Lumix FZ200. I use Premiere Elements project preset 'AVCHD 1080p'. I render out (from Premiere Elements 11) using the 'Vimeo' template found under 'AVCHD'. I'm a happy guy!
Amazing camera, including when it is used for video. If you like birds and wildlife shooting get the Panasonic brand tele extender lens.
In my experience, your work flow is both simple and reliable. I've done it many times. I too am happy!

PRE 7.0 Capture, Conforming & Editing Questions

I have a new Canon Vixia HFS100 (AVCHD) and have just installed Premiere Elements 7.0.   I previously used a Standard Definition mini-tape camcorder and edited the videos with either Windows Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director.
Capture Questions: The AVCHD media import option does not require a fire wire / nor does it provide device control. (I LIKE this feature since I purchased a camcorder with flash memory cards so that I could import the media through a card reader instead of having to hook up the camcorder.) I realize now, however that I may also want to import a small segment from a longer scene. Should the AVCHD capture feature have device control? If not, can I also use the HDV camcorder capture function instead?   Does this require any adjustments to my project settings?
Conforming Questions: After I import the .mts files, PRE 7.0 automatically goes through a process that says it is 'conforming' the files.   What does 'conforming' mean? Does this require any adjustments to my project settings?
Editing Questions: The .mts scenes cannot be played back without SEVERE stutter.   Audio is fine, but the scenes video looks like individual stills with 10-15 second delay until the next still picture. Although I plan to upgrade from my 1 GB RAM laptop to a much higher powered laptop within the next month, I am despearate to edit and publish my first set of videos since they are sales videos of horses I am trying to sell. Is there anything I can do to allow me to edit the .mts files with my current 1 GB RAM system? I would be happy to drop to a lower quality video setting just to get this batch of videos edited and produced.
Thanks in advance for your help.

1. Is there anything I can do NOW to get this first set of videos edited / produced on my current laptop?   I would be happy to import as lower quality if necessary.
There are several threads on AVCHD conversion. Unfortunately, I do not recall the conversion utilities recommended. Not shooting AVCHD, I have to admit that I am personally clueless to what programs work, and how well. Others can likely help you there.
2. What configuration wish list can you recommend for either a Dell laptop or desktop?   I will be editing ~40 horse sale videos per month and posting them to YouTube or producing DVDs to mail to prospective buyers.
I have just the ARTICLE for that "wishlist." Harm Millaard is the "Hardware Guru," on the PrPro forum. He gives a lot of great info. Now, it's pretty much geared for the "ultimate" NLE machine, but he does give the reasons, so one can "tone it down" to suit their budget and their needs.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if I find the threads on AVCHD conversion, I'll share those.

Hi, Unable to edit the UI elements in ResultView

I am working with the BapiFlight application. I am facing a problem in editing the UI elements in the ResultsView. Kindly find the attachment.

First of all, this is a WebCenter Portal forum question.
I have seen something similar (from Spaces, not from a WebCenter app, though). The reason was that the link has not resolved properly ports - for instance, if WebCenter Portal ran on http://server:port1/webcenter and WebCenter Content on http://server:port2/CS_instance, the link lead to http://server:port1/CS_instance). It was a VM prepared by an engineer in the US, and he resolved the issue by configuring the web server so that the port info was not necessary in the URL - http://server/webcenter worked as well as http://server/CS_instance and the issue with ports simply disappeared.

Iphoto Editing with Photoshop Elements 9

I am going into Iphoto, clicking the Edit button and it brings up Photoshop Elements 9. I make changes, they
look OK so I save it. When I get back to IPhoto, it looks like the change has been made. However when I go
back later in the day and click on the updated photo and there is a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
This means it can't find the original. They're all located in Iphoto, what is happening? Why does it look like the changes
are make and then I can't find them?

I do use a Mac, so I don¹t think versions is an issue. I would rather
pictures edited in PSE, which began life in iPhoto, should always be saved
back to iPhoto, as they were in Elements 8. That is not happening. Neither
do I know where to find pictures that PSE has saved.

>> The save dialog sees an original and asks for permission to change it.
If you see the save as dialog you don't have your saving files preference set
correctly. To make versions, you must set it to Save over Original.
However, note that there is a big ol' bug in the mac version that if you even
open that particular preference window (even if you don't change anything
there) PSE will no longer add file extensions when you save. When using PSE as
external editor it doesn't matter so much, but if you ever save to the desktop
you will need to add the file extension manually to the saved file.

Using iPhoto, editing with Photo Elements 10, How to have save photos directly to iPhoto?

I want to keep using iphoto but use editing capabilities of elements 10. I am having a hardtime saving back to iphoto. Initialy was adding text to photos and had to first "flatten" the layers to be able to save to iphoto. (realized after two hours) Otherwise could'nt. Also corrected blemishes and would not save back to iphoto. It should not be that difficult if it is advertised as "edit directly from iphoto". The saving of the edits back to iPhoto should be straightforward as well, I think. now, common sense is not that common. Can anybody enlighten me? cropping and saving, no issue. THANKS!

Are you saving by using the same format? e.g. if opening a jpeg from iPhoto it must be saved as jpeg.
If using RAW images check settings are correct under the General à Advanced tab.
After Editing in PSE you must save and close in Elements for iPhoto to update correctly. iPhoto makes a virtual copy and it’s possible to right click an image and choose revert to original. Some users prefer to start the process by right clicking an image in iPhoto and choosing duplicate. After editing in PSE, saving and closing; two separate images are visible in iPhoto (the original and the edited version)
Whichever workflow you prefer - see this tech note for further information.

No, that is done deliberately, since letting other programs poke around in the iphoto library is the fastest known way to corrupt it and make it wither up and die, along with your photos. If you want to use PSE with iphoto you have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor and send the photos from iphoto. Edit them, then save without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember your last saved edits + original, although you have to lose the edits to see the original again. You may need to set the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing to make this work.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes of any sort that you like, save the file, and import it to iphoto as a new file.

Edit in Photoshop Elements 10

I have an issue when I export a photo to edit in PS Elements 10. Aperature creates a new file for me (PSD) . IT then opens PS elements. However the file doesn't appear in elements. It opens with my last file I editied in Elements. The new file I want to edit doesn't appear in Elements. I then have to drag it over or just reopen it.
I thought elements was suppose to open with my file I am moving from Aperature?
I am about a month into aperature and still learning...
thanks

I think, this recent, elaborate post by chacro explains how to solve your problem too:

Editing in Photoshop Elements 9 (tiff and tif)

Last week at the end I moved to Aperture. Now I've some problem when I edit with Photoshop Elements 9.
I've setted Aperture to transfer a 8 bit tiff to photoshop now Aperture tranfer a .tiff file to photoshop and when i save (not save as) photoshop save back a .tif file that obvisioly Aperture don't see..
There is a way in Aperture to set to export a .tif or in photoshop to save a .tiff; I know it is just a matter to remember to add an "f" before saving but it is so easy to forgot....

Only your camera can save as NEF. It's not even a file, really, a Raw is just the dump of the data from your camera sensor.
When you process (or edit) a Raw it has to be saved as something else - in this case a Jpeg.
You can choose tiff in the Preferences if you prefer.
But there is no way to edit a raw file and then send it, as a raw, to another editor on any system.
You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
Now for the kludge:
You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.

TD
