you are not doing anything wrong but it looks like the editor preference file is corrupted. You can recreate the settings by doing this:
1) Close everything on your computer that is open and launch PSE to go to the welcome screen like this:
2) Now before clicking on anything, press:
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT with one hand (left hand) and keep it pressed while also clicking on the editor icon (with your other hand on the left mouse click) shown in red box in the above picture . Keep it pressed until you see another window like this:
When you get this window, just click on Yes button and hopefully it should correct itself.
good luck and post back.

Opening RAW photos in PSE 8

I have recently bought PSE 8. When I had my Canon 350D I could use it to edit RAW photos. I have just bought a Canon 550D and PSE 8 cant open any RAW photos now for editing.

I went to the Adobe site and from new downloads found the Camera
Raw 5.7 update for windows. Here is link
to the pdf instructions
http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.7_ReadMe.pdf
I created a new folder on desktop and moved the current Camera Raw.8bi file to that folder. then copied the new file in its place. opened elements and bingo it worked perfect.

Editing raw photos in CS4 and returning to a specific event in Iphoto '09

I wish to edit raw photos in CS4. I have set CS4 as my preferred editor in preferences. When I am finished editing in CS4, I wish to to return the edited photo to the same event from which it came. How do I do this without saving the photo to the desktop (or where ever) and then importing to Iphoto and then dragging to the appropriate event. Please be specific.

I don't use CS4, but I may be able to help. I also shoot in RAW and use iPhoto and I use NX2 as my external editor. Here's how I do what you're asking about.
(1) In iPhoto->Preferences: select send RAW to external editor.
(2) In iPhoto->Preferences: select Capture NX2 as external editor.
(3) Import all RAW photos into iPhoto.
(4) Double click on a photo to send it to NX2. (iPhoto sends a link to the original RAW file in this step.)
(5) Make any desired edits in NX2.
(6) in NX2 select "save". This overwites the original RAW file in iPhoto's library.
(7) in NX2 select "save as JPEG". Navigate to the iPhoto "modified" directory and overwrite the existing JPEG (The one that iPhoto made when it initially processed your RAW file). You should always get and overwrite warning at this point. It means your in the right place!
All done. After this iPhoto automatically updates the corresponding thumbnail to match. At this point, you modified RAW file and it corresponding JPEG are both stored in iPhoto. I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't also work with CS4.
If at any point you'd like to go back to the RAW file and edit it some more simply select "reprocess raw" or "revert to original" in iPhoto.
In order to be able to navigate into the iPhoto library you first need to make an alias to it by right click and "create alias". Then just place this alias anywhere you like. Browse here in Step 7.
This solution is not for everyone. If you mess up and save your JPEG in the wrong place you may get unexpected results from iPhoto because it's library is not supposed to be messed with by users. But if you are careful you will be fine. It all depends on how comfortable you are with computers. The choice and risk is up to you. I just wanted to make sure you knew a solution existed.

Cannot edit raw photo from lightroom 5.5 in photoshop cs 6 i have camera raw 8.5 installed.

Cannot edit raw photo from Lightroom 5.5 in Photoshop CS 6 I have camera raw 8.5 installed.

Sorry for getting back to you this late but I figured out the problem was
not with Photoshop but with the file itself. I created a new file file and
was able to edit it in Photoshop from Lightroom. Thanks again for your
response to help resolve the problem.

Can you edit raw photos in photo shop 11?

Hi,
Are you talking about photoshop elements 11 or photoshop cs4?
You can edit camera raw files with both of the above, but it might depend on the camera the raw files came from.
What operating system are you using?
Which camera are the raw files from?

Can't edit RAW photos in Elements 6

Hello,
I imported my RAW photos from my Nikon D80 to iPhoto '08 (v7.1.4) When I try to edit the photo in Elements 6 (by double clicking on it), the photo opens as a JPEG in Elements. Same thing happens if I try to drag the photo from iPhoto to my desktop - it automatically converts to JPEG.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

Ozark
iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced -> Check the box at 'Use RAW when using external editor
Dragging to the desktop will always get you the current version. Try exporting (File -> Export) setting the kind: to Original.

How do I edit RAW photos and save as jpeg?

HI! I have some RAW photos that I want to edit and save as jpeg. Will the edits compromise the file and how do I then save these edited files as jpegs and will that compromise the files? THANKS!

What do you mean by “Will my files be compromised“?
When you edit a photo with iPhoto you’re Original file is preserved exactly as it is, there are no changes made to it whatever.
will I be able to make a readable disc?
Why not? But what do you mean by “readable” Readable by who?

How do I edit RAW photos in other applications from iPhoto?

My RAW photos turn black when I try to edit them in iPhoto. How do I point them to another application like Adobe Bridge to edit? Will I be able to retrieve the edited photos back in iPhoto when finished?

Actually you need to point them to either Adobe Camera RAW, ACR, and or Photoshop. Bridge is only a image File Management program and used to open either ACR or Photoshop to edit images.
But if you have Photoshop, and Bridge, installed I suggest you Stop using iPhoto and start using the REAL Image Editing program you have installed, Photoshop.
All iPhoto will do is confuse you and your images. Also stop letting iPhoto import your images. iPhoto stores images inside it program folder structure and makes it hard to get to any one image you want to copy or move. Start copying your images to a Folder of your choosing and use Bridge to view and then send them to Photoshop and or ACR for editing.
If you want to have a Program import them Photoshop includes Photo Downloader to copy your images from your camera or memory card to a folder of YOUR Choosing.
iPhoto is for the Amateur. Since you have Photoshop and are working with RAW images you are no amateur.

Can I transfer a Raw Photo to PSE 9 with a direct link and keep changes

I have limited expertise in all of this stuff so please understand.
I recently upgraded to PSE 9 because I bought the Nikon D7000.
Unfortunately I have had nothing but nightmares with the upgrade.
PSE has eliminated BRIDGE and I can no longer open a RAW file in PSE 9 from the camera.
They have something called Organizer but the Adobe Forum is full of issues about it.
I have found it useless and it may stem from both having a MAC and the D7000.
*Here is my question :*
I can use Nikon Transfer to Nikon View NX2 to open the RAW files.
However if I make any changes in View they do not carry over to PSE and ACR (Adobe Camera RAW)
AND
I cannot find a way to have a direct link from View NX2 to PSE 9 and ACR.
I have to drag and drop onto the desktop and then drag and drop into PSE / ACR.
*If I purchase Aperture ($80.00) can I make changes in Aperture and then have a direct link to PSE 9 if I need to make changes or adjustments in PSE and keep the RAW changes from Aperture ?*
I hope I made my dilemma clear.
Thanks,
Greg

Your question pivots about several issues, each of which will bear on what you end up doing.
Briefly, what you'll find is that Aperture does its own RAW conversion (and does it well). You can follow that with either of the following:
- use PSE9 as an external editor, in which case Aperture creates a copy of the converted RAW file in either TIFF or PSD format (you choose), sends it to PSE9, and receives the changed file back. At this point you have two images in Aperture: your converted image (with Aperture adjustments, if added) and your externally-edited image. Note that your original RAW file is never changed, and remains available.
- using Aperture, export a copy of your RAW original, and then open it in any program you want. In this case, that program will need to be (or include) a RAW converter. And Aperture will not track the file in any way at all once it is exported.
... can I make changes in Aperture and then have a direct link to PSE 9 if I need to make changes or adjustments in PSE and ...
So that's "Yes" to the first part and ...
... and keep the RAW changes from Aperture ?
... I'm not sure what you mean to specify in this part.

Transfer edited RAW photos to USB?

Transfering edited photos to a zip (USB) is there anything I need to do to make sure the edited photos gt transfered to the USB and not the originals. When I did this before the originals were transfered and not the edited ones. Thanks in advance. BTW I am editing RAW images.

"Photos" has no specific meaning in Aperture. You import files, Aperture calls these files "Originals". You can export your Originals, or you can create new files that include any changes you've made by selecting Images and running "File➞Export➞Versions". The file type and other characteristics of the files you create by exporting is set in the File Export Preset which you assign when you export. If you wish to export your RAW files, use "File➞Export➞Originals".

Macbook Pro 13" for editing RAW photos on Aperture?

My Macbook Pro 15" 2011 was stolen and I planned to replace it with the MacBook Pro 13" retina (like the size) - but then discovered that the graphics card was not the same. I edit my RAW photos on Aperture. Will I be doing the waiting game with a 13" or should I stick to the 15"?

Thanks for the reply
Know that I won't get same performance as 15". i have an imac (2008) and find the processing of the RAW photos way too slow depsite upgrading the machine. It works..... but I have to wait for processing.
Have you worked with aperture in RAW on 13" retina - will I spend time watching the "spinning wheel" as it processes photos when doing lots of editing?
I was planning to buy to top of range retina 13" - budget will only go to mid range retina 15". Non retina macbook are not available new in South Africa any longer.

My edited Raw photos won't save from CS6 back to iPhoto?

When I transfer a raw file via "edit in external editor" from iPhoto11 to CS6 and then edit it, I choose "Save", not "Save as", but then "Save As" dialogue box appears and I can't seem to enter anything that will result in the edited (now) jpeg appearing back in the iPhoto Library? Where am I going wrong?

Always flatten the image in Photoshop before saving.
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.

I recently installed PSE 13 to my Mac book pro with Yosemite and the update installed and when I'm in iPhoto when I try to edit the photos in PSE 13 they will not open in PDSE 13

When I try get my photos to open in PSE 13 to be edited they do nothing ! In the past I had them set to open in PSE 11 which is what I was using --- I've changed that to open in PSE 13 but it still doesn't work? Can you help me please?

I hope you have set the correct .app file in iPhoto's preferences. Please see Use with iPhoto | Mac OS for details on set up. Just replace 11 with 13.

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.
