External Editor how to remove Photoshop?

I have LR3 3.5, installed on my iMac. I use Nik software and DxO software to edit my images. Under “Preferences”, “External Editing”, the first edit is assigned to “Photoshop”. I do not use “Photoshop”, how do I remove this and any other reference to “Photoshop” from my iMac.
Thanks for the help.

How to remove photoshop elements 3 from being the default program to open photos

how to remove photoshop elements 3 from being the default program to open photos in iMac 10.6.8; want to use Preview 5.0.3 as before. Somehow I clicked an "ok" to a question asking if I wanted photoshop e 3 to be the default program (NOOOO - too slow, too cumbersome just for viewing pix) What was I thinking????

Intensify as external editor: how, and how well, does it work?

Intensify from developer macphun I have assigned as an image editor in iPhoto Preferences/Advanced. In iPhoto when i click on Edit the image opens in Intensity and can be edited. Unfortunately, saving after editing the image presents a standard file dialog offering to save the edited image in Documents. Getting the edited image back into iPhoto requires importing. Afterwards other data, such as Places, Faces and notes, are gone, although the original unedited photo remains in iPhoto and still has the data.
To edit with Intensify seems to require exporting, editing, then re-importing the photo. Is this how all iPhoto external editors work? I had thought that an external editor would substitute for iPhoto's editor and edit the existing photo while it remained in the iPhoto library I see on the MacPhun web site that Intensify Pro can be run "...as either a standalone app or as a plug-in to Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Apple Aperture." Does iPhoto need a plug-in version to simply replace its internal editor?
In past versions OS X allowed applications to provide services to one another. I have not kept up with how services are implemented, but I think I expected iPhoto to essentially use its services when an editing program was selected.
Can someone more familiar with OS X services, iPhoto's use of external editors in general and/or Intensity in particular, help me understand this?

Terrence,
Thanks for the comments. I appreciate the help. Sounds like you have considerable expertise in what I need to learn. Some of what you said I do not understand. If you could clarify these points it would help me more.
You say "No it's not like this with any editor used as an external editor in iPhoto." I assume you mean an external editor would edit the photo while the photo remains within the iPhoto database, so export to edit followed by import to return the edited photo to iPhoto would not be needed. Is this correct?
You say "... Intensify isn't an editor, it's a non-destructive database-based application." In my very limited reading and experience, it seems Intensity modifies single image files. How is an application intended to modify image files to change their appearance not an editor? How is an application intended to work with single files a database-based application?
While posting here I also asked MacPhun support a similar question. They replied "This editing procedure is fine, you can send the edited image from Intensify to iPhoto as shown at the screenshot attached."
The menu choice shown does allow saving in iPhoto after pressing in Intensity. However, the edited image imported into iPhoto has lost metadata such as found faces, places and comments associated with the original, and it is placed in a new Event. That MacPhun support refers to the product of what Intensity does as "the edited image" shows why I referred to Intensity as an image editor.
You say "In essence, you cannot use a non-destructive processor as an editor" yet "With Aperture I have used it as a plug-in." To me this sounds like one can use Intensity as a non-destructive processor if Intensity's function is accessed as a plug-in. That is, the necessity to export images from iPhoto to "process" (what I would call edit) them in Intensity results from how Intensity and iPhoto access the image files, not from the type of processing involved.
You say "This has nothing to do with services ..." Agreed. I mentioned services because I thought one application modifying data for another seemed like a service.
On further consideration I realize that non-destructive, eh, processing of an image requires storing the original plus the processing steps which have been implemented. This seems similar to what iPhoto's built-in editing functions do. However, I suspect Intensity's more complex processing of the image requires a more complex file structure, which iPhoto cannot read or write.
Supporting this idea of different file structures, I see my originals in iPhoto are typically JPGs of size 800 KB - 5 MB. After processing by Intensity, "-edit" is append to the file name, the format changed to tiff, and the file size increase by a factor of 8. The format conversion and consequent increase in file size I have not seen mentioned in Intensity's literature, but may be of significance to other potential users.
You say "There is no plug-in for iPhoto - perhaps you should ask the developers to make one." Agreed. Not for iPhoto, which is being terminated, but for its replacement Photos.

Using photoshop elements 9 as an external editor - after saving in Photoshop the results do not display in Aperture

I set up my external editor as Photoshop Elements 9, I follow the instructions to edit a selected image in the external editor. When finished editing in Photoshop, I hit Save (not Save As), and go back to Aperture, and the work I did in Photoshop does not display in Aperture. Is there anything else I need to do to make the work I did in Photoshop display in Aperture?

I had the same problem with PSE 10, and this soution worked for me. Thanks. But is this the real answer? Isn't there a way to save the file without having to add an "f" to the suffix? It doesn't seem to make sense to me. Is it an Aperture problem or PSE? I went to the Apple store amnd the so-called aperture/photoshop expert spent an hour trying to figure it out and finally got the answer by reading this post!!!

"Use RAW files with external editor" greyed out for Photoshop CS2?

I've just upgraded from iPhoto 5, and the "Use RAW files with external editor" option in the advanced preferences is greyed out when I select Photoshop CS2 as my external editor (back in the General pane).
It works fine when Preview.app is selected. I can understand that pre-CS2 Photoshop wouldn't be available, but CS2 is capable of editing RAW images.
Has anyone been able to get iPhoto 6 to send a RAW image to Photoshop CS2 using this preference? I've written an Applescript to do it in iPhoto 5, but I'd rather use something cleaner...
15" PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Works great with Photoshop Elements, opens with Camera Raw. The issue is you can't save it so that iPhoto gets the changes.
You have to save it and then re-import. I tried all permutations of saving it in originals and modified folders in the library. No luck. The only thing I didn't try is to save it as a jpeg over the top of the full sized one iPhoto created on import.

Snow Leopard Installed on both the internal and external HD, how to remove

So my internal HD has been acting up on me and so I installed Snow Leopard on my external so I could repair my internal. Now that I have repaired my internal, how do I uninstall SL on my external. The external has other information on it that I do not want deleted so wiping her clean is not an option...

There is no uninstall option for the OS as such. You can start up from the internal & using the Finder simply drag most of the installed folders on the external to the trash (after making sure they do not contain anything you want to save). This will leave some normally invisible files & folders associated with the OS, which may take up a few GB of HD space but are otherwise harmless. To find & delete them, you can use something like OmniDiskSweeper, but you will need some understanding of what files you should leave in place for best results.

The Lightroom external editor does not find Photoshop CC. What is the fix.

I have deleted the old preferences file and relaunched Lightroom with no success. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom 5.2 with no success. What is the fix.

Have you gone to LR preferences or just right clicked on the image?
I think if you go to LR preferences>external editing, you will successfully be able to enter a custom preset to PS CC, which should then be available when you right click.
Wortht a try...

How do I change my choices of external editor

I have recently upgraded my Photoshop from CS3 to CS6. However, in iPhoto preferences (Preferences-->Advanced-->edit photos in drop down) I see only the option to use CS3 as my external editor.
How do I get iPhoto preferences to understand that I have new software available?
iPhoto '11
Mountain Lion

Never mind -- I found it in another thread.
Select Edit in iPhoto.
Reselect the option to edit in Photoshop CS3 and it pops up a finder window so that I can choose the app.
I can then reselect Edit in iPhoto, and my option for an external editor is changed to Photoshop CS6 or whatever I had selected.
Not intuitive, but it works.

Open with External Editor Adobe Camera Raw = HOW?

When I export a RAW file to the External Editor (I've chosen Photoshop CS3) I would like for it to open in Adobe Camera Raw, just like any RAW file that I open in Photoshop outside of Aperture.
However it bypasses Adobe Camera Raw and opens directly in Photoshop.
I have the "Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files" and "for Supported RAW files" boxes checked in the Photoshop Prefs.
I see some chatter about Hot folders and Automator around here, but no definitive answer/workaround.
If Aperture doesn't support exporting to Adobe Camera Raw, it is a HUGE leg-up for Lightroom in the RAW workflow department.
Please tell me I'm missing a checkbox somewhere... Thanks.

You're not missing a checkbox, you're missing a fundamental issue of how Aperture (and LightRoom for that matter) work.
When you use the Open in External Editor command, Aperture will convert the RAW file, apply any adjustments you have made, and send the resulting PSD or TIFF file to the external editor.
The original file is NOT sent and there is no option to do so. Why not? Because Aperture Versions do not exist as discrete image files - the adjustments are shown on-the-fly each time you view it, saving on the space taken up by multiple TIFF/PSD/JPEG files for each Version. As ACR uses a totally different RAW conversion & adjustment engine from Aperture, Aperture wouldn't be able to display any changes made in ACR without including the entire conversion engine of ACR, which Adobe might not be too happy about...
In other words, if you want to use a different RAW convertor you will have to export the Master, convert it in the other app, and then import the resulting 'normal' image file back into Aperture. The same is true for LightRoom.

LR External Editor - Photoshop not found

After installing LR 1.0 and ACR 3.7 I removed CS3. Now when I enter The LR Preferences for External Editors LR cannot find Photoshop. LR is obviously looking for CS3 and ignores the installed CS2 completely. Even reinstalling LR doesn't help in this case.
Does anyone have a clue which registry entry or whatever I have to change that LR realizes that CS3 is gone but CS2 is still there?
regards Chris

First make a new txt-dokument.
Copy this text into the document:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Photoshop.exe]
"path"="C:\\Program files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop CS2"
@="C:\\Program files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop CS2\\photoshop.exe"
Make shure that "path" points to your photoshop cs2 folder and that @= points to the photoshop.exe file in your computer.
Then rename the file to something like "ps_cs2_path_registry.reg".
Make shure to use the .reg extention.
Then double click the .reg-file and klick okej to enter the registry information.
Maby you have to restart the computer to make it work...
Hmm, by the way this is for Win XP and you don't mention your OS.
Good luck!

Images won't open in Adobe external editor

I can't get my images to open up in Photoshop eventhough it is set up as my external editor. When I select a picture to open with via the chosen external editor, a second version of my original is made within Aperture(with the external editor badge on it), Photoshop proceeds to open, but the image does not open in Photoshop to allow for edits.
Can someone recommend a fix?

Are you using CS2 or CS3? There might be something weird going on with the emulation if you're using CS2.
Barring that, I'd open up Aperture, set the external to nothing, quit Aperture, reopen, then reset it to PS again. Kind of a pain, but stuff like that has worked in the past for me. Also, do you have the latest version of Aperture (1.5.3)? If not, update.
You might also want to try pointing it to a different external editor – if it works on the alternate one, then it might have something to do with your Photoshop installation, which then might necessitate a reinstall.
My last (well, 2nd last to uninstalling and reinstalling Aperture) suggestion would be to repair permissions and cross my fingers.

"Edit in External Editor" PSE 13

I've recently upgraded Photoshop Elements to version 13.0. In iPhoto (9.5.1) I have set the preferences to Edit Photos: in Photoshop Elements (the 13 icon.
Now from a control-click "edit in external editor" selection the action opens PSE13, but no photo is transferred for editing as was the case in the earlier version. Is this no longer supported - or have I missed a set-up step?

If PSE13 is installed similar to PSE 10 look for a folder inside the Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 folder called Support Files and select Adobe Photoshope Elements Editor.app.
FWIW the following may be of help in using PSE as the external editor with iPhoto:
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.

Problem Opening Stills in External Editor

I am new to Final Cut, but I am trying to open a still in photoshop form the browser. I created a freeze frame still from the current video I am editing, and I have set the system setting for External Editor for stills to Photoshop. But when I right click on the still frame in the browser and choose "open in editor" I get a dialogue box that says "not found"." Why doesn't this work?

I created a freeze frame still from the current video I am editing
If you used the | Shift n | command to make the freeze frame, it isn't recognized as a still image in any program other then FCP. To make an actual still image file that will be recognized and usable in other programs, you have to export as a still image. Set the Timeline playhead on the frame you want, then go to File->Export->Using QuickTime Conversion. In the FORMAT menu, choose "Still Image" and in the OPTIONS menu, choose the file type (JPG, TIFF, PNG, etc). Import the resulting image file into your project and the "Open in External Editor" command will work.

Change External Editor in LR 1.0

Hi, I am using a Mac and LR 1.0. My default external editor is set to Photoshop Elements 4.0, however I do have PSE 6.0 and I would like to use this as the default editor. Right now I have 6.0 set up as the other external editor, but it would be nice to get rid of the 4.0 option.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, that'd help!
You can compress/Stuffit the app, then delete the app, as you'll have it in a zipped format if you want it back.

How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor?

How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor? I am making a movie slide show with music from my Caribbean vacation photos and adding text captions to photos in PS Elements 12. I can also add some effects to photos like edge blur although I like iphotos effects better but iphoto doesn't seem to do text. The finished PS Elements photo doesn't seem to want to be shared by iphoto which is what imovie uses...
I am still learning to use PS Elements 12 for Mac (had PSE 7 for WinVista but wasn't proficient) and Mac and it's programs are new to me. I switch between my old Dell which is still amped for graphics and the new Mac mini. I started to use Movie Maker to do my vacation project but read that imovie was better but so far it doesn't seem to have as broad of file useage when it comes to imovie and photo files.
Hmmmmm??? What to do?

You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline. You don't have to use iPhoto.
