Flipping an edited photo

I edited a photo in iphoto then discovered that the picture was backwards and needed to be flipped horizontally. I had done this before with Photoshop elements on unedited photos with no problem.
elements does not want to flip this photo beause of the layers of editing, apparently. Is there a way to stil flip this pic, or will I have to go back to the original, flip, then re-edit?

Create a new layer (in PE) and then press commandshift+OptionE (If you have enough dexterity you can press commandshift+Option+NE and skip creating the layer separately). This will put the combined contents of all your visible layers into a new top layer. Then you can flip the new layer and get the same effect, while still preserving the underlying layers.

Deleting photos
Be careful! Deleting a photo removes it from Revel on all your devices, not just the one you're working on. Make sure you really don't want the photo anymore before you delete it.
For example: If you delete the image on your phone or iPad, the image will also be deleted from the Adobe Revel Library in the /Pictures/Adobe Revel Library directory on your computer. Its always a good practice to back up your images to a location on your hard drive.

What happens to the original photo after editing? Does it get replaced by the edited photo?

I just bought my first iPhone(5). On Android, when editing a photo, the original stays in your gallery and the edited photo gets placed right next to it. So what I want to know is, When editing a photo in the photo app, what happens to the original since it would be nice to be able to make different edits of it.

That is an excellent question. This is definitely not the programmed behavior of Photoshop Elements. Normally, when you edit a file, a new copy of the file is created (the original is simply left alone). This new copy of the file will have "_edited-1" added to the end of the name. It should definitely not be adding $ to the name at all.
Just as a test, create a new user account on your computer, and try editing another image to see if does the same thing there. However, I suspect there is another application on your computer that is modifying how files are saved, deleted, and renamed.

I edited photos in photo shop that I took off of my camera and then whenI was done I saved them in a folder in my documents as a JPEG. Now when I try to open them there is an encrytion error me assage.

The folks here would need far more information from you before they provide help.
You know the drill: Exact OS...PS version...etc. The more you provide, the better.
What is the exact message that is displayed?
What have you tried so far?
Do the files display on your browser? In Bridge?
What are you doing when it happens?
Are the files still on your cameras card? If so and,you copy one to your desktop and save it without changes, does it reload properly?
Don't worry about providing too much information. Every little bit helps.

Please advise me how to burn these edited photos to a disc to take to the nearest printing store in a format that "windows" system can understand.
Thanks in advance. I look forward to learning about this.

Select the pics in the viPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to disk with the Finder's burn command. Result. A disk with a folder of images that any machine can understand.

How do I edit photos stored on external wifi drive with iPad?

I have stored many photos on a Seagate Wifi external drive and would like to edit them using my iPad. Only photos stored on Camera Roll come up for editing. Can anyone help solve this problem please.

I don't have either the device or the associated app, but from a quick glance at the Seagate site it looks like you would have to follow a three- or four-step process:
* Use the Seagate Media App to copy photo(s) from the external drive to your Camera Roll.
* Use the editing program of your choice to edit it/them.
* Use the Seagate Media App to copy the edited photo(s) back to the external drive
* Optionally, remove the editied photo(s) from the Camera Roll.

How do i edit photos with out geting rid of the orginal

I try and edit photos, in Iphoto, but how do i edit a photowith out it geting rid of the orginal?

Hi Robbin,
When you edit in iPhoto, iPhoto saves the original in an originals folder and the edits are made on a copy. You can always revert back to the original by control clicking on the image and scrolling to "revert to original"
If you want to see both the original and the edited version in the library, duplicate the original and edit the duplicate image.

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 can I make the edited photo appear in my folder?

Hi! This is my first post here, and I've just acquired Lightroom after having worked with ACDSee Pro (currently v6) for some years. I love taking photos and editing them later if necessary.
I understand that LR works differently to ACDSee, with the catalogue and all, and I've successfully imported my picture folders into my new LR catalogue. What I haven't yet been able to grasp is what LR does with my edited photos. When I edit (develop) a picture in ACDSee, the edited version of that photo appears in my original folder as soon as I have finished editing it.
With LR, after having done my processing all I can see in my folder is the original, unedited picture. The edits are only visible in LR, but not anywhere else. I'd like to see the edited photo in my folder so that I can use it, for example, for screen saver slide shows. I don't want to go and look for this edited picture in any place other than its original folder, and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder. All I care for at this point is the edited version since the original can be restored at any time from within LR, or at least I think this how it should be since that's how I did it with ACDSee if I wanted to go back to the original picture.
Is there any way I can achieve what I'm looking for with LR?
Thank you very much for your assistance for a total LR beginner.
Hugo

and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder
I don't think this is possible, given the normal way Lightroom works. You have the original (the image contained in this file is never modified by Lightroom) and you will have the export.
Note: you could instruct Lightroom to overwrite your original (if it was a JPG or TIF or PSD, but not a RAW), however this is extremely discouraged and your original would be gone. Your assumption "since the original can be restored at any time from within LR" is incorrect, that is not how Lightroom works if you overwrite the original JPG TIF or PSD (which of course is just one of several reasons why this approach is extremely discouraged).

How do I share edited photos with other apple devices.

Photo Stream does a great job of sharing photos between your mac, your ipad, and your iphone UNTILL you want to edit them. How do I edit a photo and then be able to see the edited version on all my devices? If I edit on my Macbook, the changes are made in the iphoto library. If I edit on my phone the changes are in the camera roll. But the Photo Stream image remains unchanged yet it is the only version that can be seen by all devices. Very frustrating when you edited a bunch of photos for better viewing, but can only see those changes on the device you made the edits on. Also, trying to remembering which photos you edited on which device is impossible. Any ideas on how to keep ONE editable photo database accessible from all your devices?

If you edit a photo in iPhoto on your Mac and then use the Share button at the bottom and select iCloud ➙ MyPhotoStream
the edited version will be added to the MyPhotoStream on all devices. It has to be manually added. It's not automatic.
If that edit is removed in iPhoto, i.e. Revert to Original, the edited version in My Photo Stream remains.

Can I edit photos on my iMac Photo Library from my MacAir?

Hi! I have an iMac and a MacAir. I have shared my library, but can not edit photos. I then shared the whole computer to the laptop and no good. It says it is locked, on a locked drive, or I don't have permission to edit it. I originally had two photo libraries, one on each, then I took the smaller library and uploaded it to the iMac. I have a Time Capsule, but use it only to back up the iMac (why? because I am not too skilled with this Mac stuff). In the end, I want to be able to sit on my sofa and edit photos at night from a laptop. Help Please!
More info - I have access to both computers, though I have the App Store hooked up to two different IDs (mine and my husbands), does that matter? If I buy Appeture I would need to buy it on both the iMac and the MacAir in this case? Any help is good!

If you use Screen Sharing you can run iPhoto on the iMac's library from your Mac Air just as if you were on the iMac itself. Even dropouts wouldn't hurt as they would only show up a momentary curser lapses because everything was being performed on the iMac.
However, I am able to do everything but edit photos even though I'm logged in as the admin user for the Mac. Give it a try and see if you can make it work. Here's what I have setup under sharing:

Anyone know why my iPhoto program won't save my edited photos?

I can see them in the album and in the "events" in my library. When I open it that far, I see all of my edited photos, but when I open them individually, they are unedited unless I click on the "EDIT" button....THEN, they show up edited! They are also unedited when I post them on Facebook or if I save them to my desktop or when I actually have one printed! THAT tells me that for some reason, iPhoto is not automatically saving my editing like it says it does! And....I HATE the fact that there is no "SAVE" or "SAVE CHANGES" button!!! Not all of them, but the ones that I recently took in jpeg format and not raw. Bummed! Please help! Thank you! When I first got my camera, I didn't know about the "RAW" setting so I was using JPEG back then and it worked. Why all of a sudden is it not???....FRUSTRATED.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
